ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)- After a year of hearings, the St. Louis' Board of Public Service announced that they Reverend Larry Rice will be allowed to continue operating his New Life Evangelistic Center as a homeless shelter for now. The shelter's license will be revoked in May unless it makes changes.
The board's Tuesday ruling states that the New Life Evangelistic Center's shelter will close effective May 12 unless it complies with regulations.
The shelter sits right near the Washington Avenue Loft District, restored Central Library, and a number of upscale businesses. Developers and some residents say the overcrowded shelter is a detriment to the neighborhood. Last year, a police officer said he's seen fights and drug deals at the site and a woman testified she was assaulted by someone staying at the shelter.
Rev. Larry Rice allows more than 300 people to stay at his shelter. But, his occupancy permit only allows a maximum of 32 beds. Meanwhile, since Rice opened the shelter in the 1970s, the area has seen a lot of new development and gentrification.

Use a lip balm, moisturizer or a natural home remedy like honey and olive oil to get rid of dry lips fast. Moisturize lips multiple times a day to permanently cure chapped lips overnight.
Do you often suffer from dry lips? During cold winters it becomes very difficult for our skin to carry moisture. Since the body temperature goes up and our outside skin faces cold temperature, this makes the skin and lips dry. Since the thin lip skin lacks the sebaceous glands that produce moisture for skin, it quickly becomes dry. This often makes the lips to become chapped and cracked which may cause intense pain. Hence there is a need to provide addition outside moisture so that the lips can be prevented from so many problems. Here are the few tips that will help you get rid of dry lips overnight.
Prevention tips
It is advised that you increase the intake of water because this can avoid chapped lips. In winter, our body requires less water, but you must drink at least 8 glasses. Limit to some of the lip drying drinks such as tea, coffee, soda drinks etc. Alcohol and cigarettes are also greatly responsible for removing the moisture. Hence to prevent dry lips, follow all the necessary precautions.
Use lip balms
The skin of lips is actually very thin and soft, hence it cannot bear the extreme temperature and becomes cracked. To keep lips soft it is your responsibility to apply moisturizing creams and lip balms so that at any point of the day your lips are lubricated. Basically the brand of the product matters because of the quality and ingredients in it. Hence select the best lips balm to provide a layer of protection to the lips skin. Nowadays UV protected lip balms are also available in the market, buy it and use it. Just make sure you aren't allergic to such products because it can make the condition worse. If you aren't aware of the allergy than use normal lips balms to stay on the safe side. You can also try creams such as Vaseline or Nivea to keep lip skin supple in any season.
Moisture providing creams
As I told you before, sebaceous glands are missing in lips, hence providing moisture becomes your everyday duty. You can use petroleum jelly to keep the lips moist. Another advantage of petroleum jelly like Vaseline is the greasy ointment that you apply to the lips protects it from high or low temperature outside. If the weather is chilling out or it is extreme hot then in this case use such products three or four times a day. When the climate is normal applying once is also fine. One last tip for you is as soon as you discover that your lips are becoming rough, be careful not to lick it. The saliva can lead to further drying and also the acid in it can cause further damage to the skin.
Consult a skin expert
If you are facing the dry lip problem from a long time and nothing has worked for you then you must go to a dermatologist for its treatment. This expert will examine your condition and will provide you with a good treatment. Many a times infections and vitamin deficiency makes the lips cracked. With proper tests a dermatologist can check out for the responsible factors and treat you accordingly.
Unfortunately, it happens that some of the home remedies and lip products advice does not always work for some people who are trying in vain to get rid of dry lips. So what can be done to prevent it and heal the chapped lips? Ask your doctor for help! This may prescribe a special high-fat ointment or cream. If it is eczema or infection? Then it is possible to obtain a prescription for a ointment or a drug which has anti-inflammatory effects.
Peeling skin on lips
Every now and then your lips becomes dry and the skin starts to peels off. In this case, it is better to remove the detached pieces of skin first so that the lip balm can act better. Be careful when removing these layers of the skin. The best way to remove the dead skin on the lips is by using a soft, damp toothbrush to brush off. Circles slowly over your lips, don't press hard. Then rinse your lips well with lukewarm water and pat dry gently with a clean towel. Rub your lips then with plenty of lip balm or a moisturizing cream. You will find that your lips are much softer and smoother hereafter.
Dry lips should not be licked
When people have rough lips they become more tempted to lick it. Unfortunately, this makes the whole thing worse. This hurts your lips even more. Refrain from moisturizing your lips with your tongue. While this seems to help for a few seconds, but dries your lips for a long time. Saliva contains enzymes which are irritating to the skin. This can lead to a kind of rash around the mouth and make the situation more painful.
Steps to get rid of dry lips
Take care of your lips against this winter or summer and maintain them well so that they remain beautiful, gentle, painless and – most importantly – very tempting.
Follow these steps:
In winter, with cold temperature our lips often become chapped and cracked. This sometime causes lot of pain that an individual has to suffer. To keep lips soft and supple follow these tips:
You need:
– A toothbrush.
– Vaseline.
– A nourishing lip balm.
How to do
- Exfoliate:
- Moisturize:
- Feed:
Take your toothbrush keep it in lukewarm water for 5 minutes and then in circular way move it on your lips for at least 1 times a day to remove your dead skin and impurities.
Before bed, apply a broad layer of Vaseline to your lips (ointments that treat skin irritations and droughts). This cream will hydrate your lips throughout the night and help you get rid of chapped lips overnight.
Apply Shea or Almond nourishing lip balm, preferably many times as you can. Their softening ingredients will rehydrate your lips.
Home remedies to remove dryness from lips
Every time I get up, my lips chapped and cracks appear. I have the great problem of having so dry lips that even when I talk or kiss my partner my lips begin to bleed and burn. What home remedy exists to heal and moisturize my dry lips?
There are several natural treatments to prevent dry chapped lips, here are best homemade recipes to heal and moisturize those cut lips.
- Soak a cotton ball in olive oil, if extra virgin olive oil than much better and spread evenly on your lips skin. In two-three days you will see the desired results.
- A good home trick to chapped lips is to mix a little oil with sugar, and with a cotton or gauze gently rub in circular motion. If you want to exfoliate bleeding lips then avoid using a brush and instead use this trick.
- Apply a little honey on your chapped lips and let it dry. Without removing the honey applied on it add a little Vaseline and keep it for about 20 minutes. Now use cold water and soft washcloth to slowly clean it and again cover it with a moisturizer. Repeat this home remedy every day for a week to get rid of chapped lips.
Honey helps heal chapped lips and besides being an antibacterial agent destroys the bacteria. Vaseline is considered one of the best protectors of the skin. These two ingredients have an effective result to soothe rough and painful lips.
- Like honey aloe vera is also an excellent moisturizer. It has both healing and antiseptic properties that can effective deal with this situation. Apply the gel of aloe to the lips and clean it once it dries.
- Placing cold cucumbers can also be great for sooting the inflammation caused by dry and chapped lips.
- Avocados have a high concentration of natural fat in the pulp which is rich in vitamins A and C that helps to moisturize dry lips. Take an avocado to make a cream by mashing its pulp and add about 7 drops of olive oil. Apply over dry lips and let sit for about 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
- The white beeswax or yellow wax bleached, known in the markets, has properties that protect dry skin and chapped lips. Almond oil for its moisturizing and soothing properties is extremely effective for chapped and rough lips. Put 50 grams of white beeswax in a bowl to heat until completely dissolved, then add 50 grams of almond oil, stirring, until a homogeneous liquid. Pour into a mold to cool and dry, cut into pieces and use it as almond with beeswax lipstick.
- A good homemade tip is to use butter or cocoa butter. It is a very effective natural remedy as it prevents dryness of the lips. Daily apply cocoa butter on your lips twice. Cocoa butter moisturizing products are also sold in many stores.
So these were some of the most used and popular treatments for healing dry and chapped lips. We would also like to know the treatment you used to solve this problem.

Constitution Hill in association with Afropunk will be keeping Jozi lights on this festive season with engaging exhibitions and a ground-breaking music festival.
The festival will be held on December 30 and 31 at Constitution Hill
The festival, annually hosted in New York, Atlanta, London and Paris, will feature artists such as Solange Knowles, Anderson Paak and The Free Nationals , Laura Mvula and King Tha. The Constitution Hill backdrop will make for the most iconic Afropunk festival yet. Both Afropunk and Constitution Hill have been celebrated for providing a platform for activism and self-expression in their own rights and the partnership of these pioneering organisations will make for a unique and memorable new year's eve celebration.
The partnership which also includes a collaboration with the Amacreatives to host: A New Black, a multimedia group exhibition and dialogue focusing on the individual voices of 7 upcoming contemporary artists and how they employ their artistic agency to engage with and interpret the colonial narrative that forms part of their history.
The festival has given rise to a legacy project, IamJoburg, an online tourism portal, project-managed by Travel Massive Africa. To give Afropunk guests a raw Johannesburg experience, tour operators in Alexandra, Soweto and the city centre are being assisted with developing experiential products and making better use of digital marketing.
Some of the Constitution Hill December exhibitions include Looking Backward, Moving Forward, an exhibition showing the incredible talent and fortitude of the artists who struggled to make their art during apartheid, and Umama Onesibindi: Mother of Courage, a tribute to all the children and women across Africa who have chosen life and stood firm in the face of adversity.


text: More chief safety officers needed across Canada: Speaker Safety cop reputation hindering career advancement opportunities 01/02/2018| www.cos-mag.com Chief safety officer is a title that is rarely seen — and this has to change, according to a speaker at the annual Canadian Society of Safety Engineering's professional development conference. There may be executive vice-presidents of environment, health and safety, but it's just not the same, said Regina McMichael, president of The Learning Factory, speaking at the conference in Halifax on Sept. 20."As an industry, we have not been able to gather as an organization and say, 'Wait a minute, we should have a 'C' just like the rest of them,' even if it's just symbolic," she said. "We do not have people who are sitting at the table right up front automatically as an assumption in the corporate world... We have not demanded that place."Safety is not at the C-suite because safety professionals don't think like executives — but this isn't their fault, said McMichael, who is based in Clemson, S.C. It's only in the last few years that management skills and executive-level concepts have been a part of the vision for the future of the safety professional. In the past, most individuals would have said that technical knowledge is what makes a great safety professional — which is true, but they need much more than that, McMichael said.Safety professionals also don't act like leaders, she added. Part of the reason for this is because no one has taught them how."If no one has coached you on that, we can't just roll into the room and plop down on the seat and say, 'You need to be safe and do it my way because I said so because I have the technical knowledge.' They will boot us out of the room," she said. "Before we can get to the table, we need to learn how to behave like the rest of the people at the table."As a whole, safety professionals don't understand the business goals of the company. If they work for a public company, a great first step is to read the annual report, McMichael said.Additionally, safety professionals are too compliance-driven. Many have been mentored to be "safety cops" and have "auditor" or "compliance" in their titles. "How do we get out of being looked at like someone who checks off a list or shakes their finger at you when you do something wrong? How do we get away from that reputation when it's in our title?" McMichael asked.Safety managers also do not leverage influencing techniques. In order to have influence in an organization, you need to understand what power dynamics exist and how to talk to people in different ways, McMichael said. First, identify the right target — you might be going after the wrong one. For example, if every time you go to your boss with a new idea and he asks, "What does Larry think of this?" Then you know you have to get Larry's buy-in before taking the idea to your boss.The second step is to learn people's motivators and styles. For example, the CFO might be the person who ultimately decides whether or not new safety programs are given the green light. She is the number cruncher and might not respond to the moral imperative, McMichael said. Now, the safety professional needs to figure out how to communicate effectively with her. Showing her the numbers and the return on investment is likely a good place to start. If safety professionals want a seat at the C-suite, they have to look within and be adaptable."You're not going to be able to change other people. The only person you have power over is yourself, so you have to change you if you want to move forward in your career," McMichael said. "They're not just going to say, 'Here's a hand; let me pull you up to the executive level because you're awesome.' You need to make that change."This article originally appeared in the December/January 2018 issue of COS.

Rae Ann Aldridge – 2018 Safety Leader of the Year Add Comment * Title * Name * Email Anonymous * Comment Submit Comments (1) Supervisor of Corporate Safety - Brad Owens 0 1/4/2018 1:52:14 PM A couple of thoughts come to mind when reading this article - specifically around "learning how to behave at the corporate leadership table". First, many of us grew in to our EHS roles and came out of operations. As a result, many of us understand first hand the pressures of the bottom line and production demands. Secondly, I don't think we do enough in our profession to mentor and train newer members to the field about the importance of consultation and collaboration. I see a lot of newer safety professionals start out with exuberance and wanting to do the right thing, but lacking the interpersonal skills to open doors rather than close them. Otherwise a generally interesting article.

Happy new year everyone! As the first blog post of this year I would like to share a great YouTube-video Project Scandinavia 2012 by Slovenian adventure sailor Igor Stropnik, who sailed with a 3,9 m inflatable catamaran from Northern Norway to Stockholm. Igor sailed first from Nordkapp to Narvik and then continued paddling his catamaran along the River Torne to the Bay of Bothnia and the Baltic Sea.
I very much enjoyed watching this video with many beautiful scenes from Northern Norway and Sweden. Furthermore, his camera work is great and shows the possibilities of the GoPro -helmet camera for shooting sailing.

A vice president at Taiwanese chipset manufacturer MediaTek has called on the automotive industry to sign up to the Open Interconnect Consurtium (OIC) and help drive standardisation across the fast-emerging internet of things (IoT) market.
The OIC is an industry group whose stated mission is to develop standards and certification for devices involved in the Internet of Things based around constrained application protocol (CoAP). It has been set up to help define the connectivity requirements and ensure interoperability of the billions of devices that will make up IoT.
Marc Naddell, VP of Mediatek Labs, said the five founding OIC companies (Intel, Cisco, MediaTek, GE and Samsung) have already demoed a number of standardised IoT technologies at events such as Mobile World Congress but now he wants leading players in other industry verticals to get involved.
"It would be nice to have a car company as the connected car is a part of IoT," he told Techworld at Digital Shoreditch 2015 in London last week. "Maybe someone in home building would be interesting to have too," he added.
Naddell, who works in Silicon Valley at MediaTek's San Jose office, said he's not aware of any specific automotive companies that have declined to join OIC.
"We're trying to improve interoperability and security," said Naddell. "You need to provide that framework so when you design a product you can use the OIC standards and have a compliant environment where these products work together in a secure mode."
IT analyst house Gartner predicts there will be 26 billion connected devices by the end of 2020 but estimates vary wildly, with some forecasting there could be as many as 100 billion by the same date. Devices set to be connected to internet include everything from kettles and fridges to lamps and air conditioning units.
MediaTek has a vested interest in pushing forward the IoT agenda because it creates the kind of chips that are likely to be integrated into everyday objects as they're brought online.

At La Isla in Seattle, the food is billed as Puerto Rican, Caribbean and Latin American all at the same time. I went in blind, knowing only that my friend Leslie loved the place. She told me I would as well. A party of five, we sat outside and watched the comings and goings on the street. We watched as plates of food floated by. They were colorful, and trailed behind them aromas that were both exotic and familiar. The anticipation grew in my hungry belly.
Next to me, a member of our group leaned in to read the menu over my shoulder. She boasted a Puerto Rican heritage, and had some knowledge regarding the cuisine. Understand, though, that she was not raised in the Mother Land. Her accent is decidedly American English. She started making suggestions of what I should order. While I did initially appreciate the gesture, I started to realize that her "input" was going to make this meal a long one.
Due to her own ethnicity, she felt compelled to explain to me that the dishes offered were not authentic to Puerto Rico. "What do you mean?" I asked, somewhat baffled. Personally, I had not expected to eat a Puerto Rican* meal. I expected to eat food inspired by the region that surrounds Puerto Rico. For the record, and to further enhance the rest of this story, it is important to note that this magical place is called the Caribbean. Say it with me: C A R I B B E A N.
(*La Isla does bill their food as Puerto Rican, to be fair. However, prior to our meal I took out the trusty SmertPhone and did the Bing thing. 90 percent of what I read characterized this restaurant as, in effect, Caribbean fusion – with flavors from Puerto Rico, to Cuba to Latin American. Rather broad, wouldn't you say? I was not expecting a truly authentic Puerto Rican meal. I just wanted to eat some good food.)
"They don't even serve this in Puerto Rico," she said, pointing to an appetizer made of beans and flavored with a hint of sweetness and vinegar. It was a terrific treat to scoop the relish into small cups made from mashed plantain. "We don't use vinegar," she stated, condescendingly. "We don't pickle things," she said with a snooty air. I nodded, thinking, she's trying to help. I continued to stare at the menu, nothing in particular leaping out at my palate. Again, she leaned in with her authoritarian opinion and started telling me what to order. I became increasingly uncomfortable.
I finally asked her what she was going to order. "Oh, I'm not eating."
I exchanged a glance with another diner at our table. "What?"
"I already ate," she explained and continued by elaborating on her special diet, which consists mostly of bananas. Suppressing a roll of my eyes, I turned the page of my menu that she was examining with intensity (and apparently, extreme prejudice) and promptly ordered ceviche, a dish she had not suggested.
I believe at the time this occurred, she was explaining adobo sauce to me in a bossy tone that made me bristle. One of my coping skills kicked in, as I tried to focus on anything that was coming out of her mouth that had any merit. When she mentioned cilantro, and the fact that this leafy herb may grow to be as large as one's hand in Puerto Rico, I seized on it. "I do love cilantro. I've never seen it quite that big." She pointed to the relish appetizer on the table and again declared it inauthentic, right as I took another bite.
I turned to the person on my right and said in a low voice, "I should have ordered a drink." Without a word, he promptly put his beer directly in front of me. I took a long swig.
I started to notice that the table was wobbly and needed a shim. It irritated me like a mosquito trying to have its way with my earlobe. The fourteen year old kid in our group was happily ingesting an empanada that was filled with cheese. I was jealous of him. I think he was the only one that was oblivious to the lesson in Puerto Rican cuisine that was being shoved down our throats. A couple of times while Crazy Pants had her mouth moving, it did occur to me that we were eating Caribbean-influenced food in Seattle, not Santo Domingo. This was lost on Chatty Cathy (or should I call her Chatty Caterina to keep it more authentic, I dunno).
I declared that I liked the ceviche, which was a huge mistake. This initiated a commentary on how ceviche should be made and what kind of fish should be used. Ordinarily, I may have embraced this and contributed my own take on what makes good ceviche. Instead, I tried distraction, "So really these flavors are very Caribbean. This must be similar to Cuban food." (stupid move, Jenn – shoulda never looked this place up on Yelp!, ya big dummy)
This was met with a firm "no" from Bossy McBosserson (oh – sorry – Senora Bossy La Bosserson). Once again, my inner dialog responded. I'm no crackerjack at geography, but I am pretty sure Puerto Rico and Cuba are both Caribbean islands. She also was sure to add that Puerto Rican food cannot be compared to Cuban. At all. Ever. [Naturally an internet search yielded the following phrase over and over again: Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Cuban and Mexican cuisine. Please note that any entity who has dared written this blasphemy – including Wikipedia – is wrong.]
I eyeballed my friend's beer again, but from the look on his face he clearly needed it. Nobody else was talking. We were all chewing in silence, save La Opinionata. Now she was eyeing the food that was being placed in front of other diners and commenting on their choices. I don't remember her breathing at all – it was just pure diarrhea of the mouth, and no one she was talking at was invited to comment. We just let her go because we had no choice, and the sooner we finished our food, the sooner we could all part ways and go about our collective business.
I was reminded of a concert that my parents took me to when I was a teenager. It was Miles Davis at a large venue in Madrid. Yeah, go ahead. Do a double take – the Miles Davis. We were accompanied by a Spanish gentleman and his wife, friends of our family. We had sat through a good portion of the show, when the legendary Mr. Davis busted out with a Michael Jackson song. Our companion recognized this tune, promptly stood up and said, (insert indignant Spanish accent here) "THIS ISN'T MILES DAVIS", and left. He even left his wife sitting there. We all rounded up our belongings and followed him out because we had carpooled with the guy. I walked out of a Miles Davis concert because some douche with a picky sense of what was "real" jazz dictated the exit. That was over twenty five years ago and I am still pissed.
This situation was different, but the same – and may have even been worse. The individual in question wasn't even breaking bread with us. She was just there to trash the authenticity in the food, how the restaurant was doing it wrong, and how her grandmother was the best Puerto Rican cook since the dawn of time. It's great when people take pride in their heritage, but she took it too far. I was seated at the table of a food dictator, and I was not having fun.
Near the end of the meal, she started calling out to wait staff as they tried to hustle to their customers, "Is that [insert Puerto Rican dish here]? Is it? Hey? It is, right? Right?" At this point, she would get a nod from the staff member that was being verbally assaulted, turn to the rest of us and say, "See? I was right." Could you imagine being a waitress and having a question yelled at you while trying to balance a tray full of food and remembering not to fall on your face because you are in a really big hurry?
In the final analysis, the food was fresh and so were the flavors, but it was one of the worst meals I have ever had.
Remember, the company you keep can be a great part of your dining experience, but can also play a significant hand in ruining every single bite. And for those of you out there that feel compelled to share every thought that crosses your frontal lobe without any deference to those around you, and feel you can only make a point by delivering this information in an authoritarian, condescending manner, take some time to shut up (or take some lithium).
As for me, I am willing to return to Seattle, if only to eat at La Isla and have the meal that I was supposed to.
Odds are, I will be dining alone.

The truth about Hiroshima
I had terrible nightmares of Atomic weapons growing up as a child of the cold war and I avoided studying World War 2 in high school history as it troubled me. As a result, I never understood how or why Japan came to be an enemy in a war that was against the Nazis in Germany.
I learned, in visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, that before the Atomic bombing, Japan was at war with China and was spending 80% of its national economy on military spending. The people of Japan were forced into working to support the war. Children as young as 13 (boys and girls) worked in manufacturing, school children were given military training disguised as exercise, to have them ready for deployment. Clothing and Food items were rationed severely, with families given coupons and dressed in uniforms. The people of Japan were suffering under the control of their own government, who was even trying to enforce Mind Control to curb any anti-war intentions.
Hiroshima was a city populated by workers. Before the bomb destroyed the city, the government released an air raid warning and school children, those too young to work in the manufacturing plants, were evacuated. Those 13 or older stayed behind to continue working to support the war.
Before visiting the museum, I knew only the rhetoric that Japan was out of control during World War 2 in their bid for world domination. They wouldn't listen to reason, nothing could be done and there was nothing left to do, someone had to take action and the US dropped the bomb on Hiroshima that ended the war.
While it can be argued that no one knew what the effects of the atomic bomb on a populated city would be, I've never felt satisfied with the arguments for killing so many people. As described in the peace museum, there had never before been such a mass slaughter of people in one moment, and I wonder if there has been anything like it since, other than in Nagasaki, the recipient of the other A-bomb dropped three days after.
The museum in Hiroshima contains letters, diary entries and documents from the US side, clearly showing that the bombs were dropped precisely because the effects were not known. In fact, the 2 bombs dropped on Japan were not even the same type of A-bomb. One was Uranium and the other Plutonium. Japan and the innocent people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were used as Guinea Pigs. The US claimed there were no choices, but from reading the correspondences between various US officials, it's obvious there were other choices. Also evident is the written declaration that no warning was issued. Many US officials felt that a warning, and a demonstration of the effects of the A-bomb before one was deployed, would give the Japanese government the chance to make an informed decision, but regarding the use of the A-bomb, Japan never had that chance.
The people of Japan had no idea what they were facing. So when the radiation-filled black rain began to fall in the days following the destruction of Hiroshima, those still living in the devastation, living with coarse, dry throats, dying of thirst and severe burns, opened their mouths to the rain and lapped up paddles of black water, only to become violently ill and if the burns didn't kill them slowly the ensuing cancer surely did.
White wall stained by black rain
Hiroshima was chosen as a candidate because it was populated by workers, and plenty of them. Plenty, that is, of children aged 13 and 14 working in the manufacturing plants. A list of potential targets had Hiroshima at number 1 position. Kyoto, a potentially more politically strategic target had been wiped from the list because the US wanted to occupy Japan immediately following the bombings, and they knew that bombing Kyoto would be too nationally sensitive and might stop the Japanese government from submitting to the US. Worse, they might have surrendered to the Russians, instead.
The bombs were dropped hastily, in fact the US government was concerned the Japanese might surrender before the US had a chance to test their weapons. Globally, there was a race for supremacy. I'm amazed, now I think about it, that all at the same time every one wanted the grand title of number 1. The Nazis wanted it, Japan wanted it, the Russians wanted it and the US wanted it too. It looks like the US won, but only because they gave Einstein sanctuary from the Germans. There are so many ways World War 2 could have played out, if only small details had been different, or timelines hadn't intersected each other so exactly. Regardless, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the race in a shocking climax.
Victims of terrible burning in makeshift hospitals
We now know, because those two bombs were dropped and we have seen what happened, how destructive and horrifying Atomic warfare is. Despite it, following World War 2, Russia and the US raced to dominate the world through a steady build-up of Nuclear Weapons they could use to threaten each other and this led to that Cold War and the nightmare visions I had as a child of Reagan and the little red-button that I imagined would destroy us all. The Cold War ended in the 80s and yet, still, these countries and now Britain, India, Pakistan, France and China (and possibly others) have joined the fray.
Every time a nuclear weapon is tested, the Mayor of Hiroshima writes a letter in protest trying to remind the leaders of these countries of the atrocities of the weapons that they continue to build. Why can't we just take it from those who know, it's NEVER going to be justifiable to use that kind of weapon again, it certainly wasn't justifiable the first 2 times. So much for weapons of Mass Destruction, those in glass houses etc. The US remains the only country to have used nuclear weapons in warfare, I hope the mistake is never repeated, but how can we ever be sure when the technology and the weapons continue to be developed?

Joe Danger developer rubs it in publishers' faces
The 2010 Develop Conference is underway in Brighton and Hello Games has wasted no time in getting their "we told you so's" in.
Sean Murray, a programmer on Joe Danger, revealed to the audience that the stunt-cycle game — which had such a rough time finding a publisher in the beginning — sold 50,000 copies in its first week on the PlayStation Store.
While keeping things classy and not naming names, Murray ran through a list of reasons given by several publishers for not getting on board with Joe Danger in the beginning. The whole list follows below. Our favorite? "Collecting giant coins feels unrealistic to me."
"Name me one popular game with motorbikes?"
"Collecting giant coins feels unrealistic to me"
"I can see this working as a Facebook app"
"We want games that are less about fun right now"
"We love the theme, but with a different game"
"We believe the iPhone will be largely unsupported"
"Can Joe be a monkey? We like Monkeys"

Whether in the D or in Texas, the Kilpatricks just can't keep their hands out of the till.
The Detroit News: Video captures Carlita Kilpatrick being questioned over cash
A video has surfaced several months after Detroit's former first lady was let go from her job in Duncanville, Texas, in which Carlita Kilpatrick is questioned over why she had several hundred dollars in undisclosed cash in one of her desk drawers.
A police officer and investigators are seen entering Kilpatrick's office to discover cash kept in an office desk drawer in the video posted on YouTube on Sept. 16 titled "Show Me The Money" with text "Cash audit results in hidden cash box in the desk of Carlita Kilpatrick."
Giving a Kilpatrick a job where they handle other people's cash is like putting an arsonist in charge of the matches and gasoline supply. Not a good idea, and one that has predictable results.
At least this time it was only hundreds of dollars versus the hundreds of thousands that Kwame bilked out of the City of Detroit.

Built to Mash
The Internet of Things is being built to mash. Maybe it is because the initial devices are so simple, providing a service with a single command. Lock the door. Alarm the house. Answer the door. The low cost integration that the cable companies demand rewards not looking under the hood.
Last week I visited a home microgrid ready to mash. With care and good math, it can compensate for the incidental on-demand loads of the house. If those loads are ready for an energy mash, it can do better. In the AllSeen Alliance, appliances and domotics apps are already built to mash functionally. AllJoyn leaf nodes for cuisine and for lighting and fireplace scenarios can mash for the perfectly planned evening. AllJoyn routing nodes can enable the apps to coordinate their behaviors.
Modern appliances act as apps in themselves. My washer can program query my phone which snapped a picture of a barcode in clothes to program itself. But appliances also use resources in the home, notable energy and hot water, and make noise that might interfere with the romantic evening scenario running on the lighting manager.
With a resource framework, resources limited by policy or by firm supply limits can be shared, allocated, smoothed over time between the apps. A mashable microgrid can cooperate with these appliances and apps to optimize resource use over time.
Optimize is of course a nebulous word. Does one nebulize for lowest peak use, longest battery life, or for energy security? Does one optimize for energy import before the storm, or for energy export for revenue, or for economic cooperation with the neighbors? The answer is whatever the homeowner wants.
OASIS Energy Interoperation is becoming the interface for economic mashups. In the NIST Transactive Energy Challenge, it is demonstrating the ease of reconfiguration and the resilience of rapid response in secure multi-facility mission-critical environments. In the mashable home, it is readying integration-free resource smoothing, making each home a more valuable participant in a larger but still local community. Mashups across neighborhoods, and between homes await only regulatory relief.
As one moves into larger containing microgrids, or into more critical facilities, a mashable market requires greater security. With economic interfaces, each energy services interface is a security firewall, and fractal microgrids intrinsically support defense in depth.
As one moves from inside the home to outside the home, inside the commercial building to the business district, there is also a change in economic constraints. In a micromarket that operates a home, all participants are playing with the dealer's chips. As we move into bases and neighborhoods, different owners and different bank accounts come into play.
Blockchain names a set of technologies that can make official inalterable records without central authority. Blockchain can be used to manage identity, contracts, and transactions. Bitcoin is a well-known type of blockchain, but far from the only one. IBM and eleven major banks are currently working together on open source for a bankable blockchain, i.e., one in which decentralized transactions can eventually move up into the banking system.
In the Internet of Things, some relationships and some purchases may be too small to warrant central registration. Even a central authority for identity of small things threatens privacy and security. Central approval is too expensive to support nanotransactions. Blockchain can track device description, functions, locations, and price, if the device is ready to be hired or bought. Blockchain can record smart contracts without an intermediary for granting authority or permission.
Payments and bartering simplify integration of diverse systems. Micro-payments and even nano-payments could enable negotiations to buy into the HOV lane, air rights for delivery drones, or even real time negotiation for five minutes of wifi time from the vending machine.
Blockchain opens up an exciting decentralized model for economic mashups. A home micromarket can operate with simple bilateral trades or double auction. Micromarkets that span cities or regions may need central trading floors and complex matching of transactions that might bundle storage, power, transmission and other purchases into a single trade. A neighborhood is somewhere in-between.
Economic mashups can simplify trading between resource types. A routine CHP decision trades value between generating heat and power, and the current demands for each across a market. Cooling demands may rely on adsorption or compression chillers, that is making dynamic choices between using a thermal market or a power market to supply a third market. District energy may place the two thermal markets (heat and cold) external to each facility. CHP, especially CHP with cooling, usually relies on careful and expensive static analysis. Economic mashups just might make the home CHP economical.
Neighborhood micromarkets are driven in part by a desire for resilience, i.e., for operation during infrastructure failure. Neighborhood micromarkets can be justified solely for enabling distributed energy resources to be used locally, without transmission loss or new transmission infrastructure. Each of these motives, along with the capability of defense in depth, comes into play in the Camp Pendleton microgrids.
Owners of home microgrids want to trade amongst themselves after the storm. With telecommunications potentially down as well, they want to trade using enforceable contracts without central approval or authority. Such markets must be mashable, because even if all homes in a neighborhood start with the same technology, over time each homeowner will make his own decisions on upgrades.
The IoT is made for mashing. Economic mashups enable allocation, balancing, and smoothing of resource use within a micromarket. Multiple micromarkets will be able to self-manage across resources in the same facility.

Since I picked to model a bicycle I started to research them, I'd already done a little bit of research and found this WordPress site (http://oldbike.wordpress.com/) It's really good because it has loads of information and reference images of old bikes. I was looking for bike's between the timescale of around 1910-1914, and the following are one's that I liked the look of:
- 1910 Imperial Triumph No. 16 Ladies Cycle with rear band brake
- 1910 Royal Sunbeam for Gentlemen
- 1910 Raleigh All-Steel No 9 Gent's 28″ Roadster
- 1913 Gentlemen's 24″ Royal Sunbeam
- 1914 All-Black Golden Sunbeam Tricycle
- 1914 Golden Sunbeam 28″ Gentleman's Bicycle with Three Speeds (Hub Gear)
- 1914 Hazlewood Ladies Bicycle
- 1914 Royal Sunbeam Gentleman's Bicycle
Looking through the list of bicycles around at that time, I found that Sunbeam where producing a lot around the time so where most likely seen around a lot. I found this website (http://www.historywebsite.co.uk/Museum/Transport/bicycles/Sunbeam.htm) That has information about the Sunbeam bicycle company and backs up that they where making a lot of bicycles. With this in mind I have decided to model the 1913 Royal Sunbeam..

Pomona College's new vice president for student affairs and dean of students, Avis E. Hinkson, brings more than three decades of higher education experience in areas ranging from residential life to student recruitment to undergraduate advising. Her new role, which she began on Aug. 1, marks her return to Pomona College, where she was an associate dean of admissions from 1990 to 1994.
As dean of the college at Barnard College in New York, Hinkson led a staff of more than 100, overseeing academic advising, career development, registrar, health and wellness services, counseling services, Title IX services, residential and campus life, international and intercultural programs and diversity initiatives.
At Barnard, she worked with colleagues to shape the student experience and campus culture while sustaining direct involvement with many of Barnard's 2,500 undergraduate women and serving as a key partner in Barnard's unique connection with Columbia University.
"Avis brings just the right experience, energy and high level of engagement to this crucial role," says Pomona College President G. Gabrielle Starr. "She is someone who reaches out, listens and helps spark change where it is needed. Our students and the wider campus community will benefit from collaborating with her."
Hinkson's other roles have included dean of admission and enrollment planning at Mills College in Oakland, Calif.; associate director of admission and director of minority recruitment at the University of Southern California; and associate director of admission and minority recruitment director at Cornell University.
Among her current professional activities, Hinkson serves on the board of the Consortium on Financing Higher Education as chair of the assembly for the organization of 35 highly selective private colleges and universities committed to meeting the full demonstrated financial need of admitted students.
In addition to earning a doctor of education degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Hinkson holds a master's degree in student personnel administration from Columbia University's Teachers College and a bachelor's degree in psychology from Barnard.
She succeeds Miriam Feldblum, who departed in February after a decade of service to become executive director of the Presidents' Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, a new initiative that advocates for the legislative interests of immigrant, undocumented and international students on college campuses.

Of all the cakes I have ever eaten or baked in my life, this strawberry shortcake is the best! This recipe of my mother's is indescribably delicious. It was a family tradition for my mother to bake this strawberry shortcake every year for our annual Father's Day barbecue. Everyone waited for my mother to bring this masterpiece of a cake to the table. When I got married, I started to bake this cake. At my beautiful daughter Randi's first birthday party, I actually baked three of these cakes because we had quite a crowd of people. Anyway, this cake is so beautiful and so delicious that it could win any first place prize at a country fair. The layers are light and airy and so delicious. The filling, which is just whipped cream and sugar with some fresh strawberries and crushed pineapple is dreamy. This strawberry shortcake takes some time, but if you go step by step, you will succeed at creating a dazzling dessert that people will applaud you for.
for the cake:
- 1 cup cake flour (sift first, then measure)
- 6 extra large eggs at room temperature, separated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (1/2 cup and 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cold water
for the filling and the frosting:
- 1 1/2 pints heavy or whipping cream
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 quarts strawberries
- 1 16 oz. can of crushed pineapple in its natural juice , drained very well
to make the cake: (You can make the layers in advance and freeze them!)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. I use 2 round 9 inch baking pans with removable bottoms. If you don't have that type of pan, then place a sheet of parchment paper chaussure de football pas cher on the bottom of your 8 or 9 inch round pans. Do not grease the pans!
Separate the eggs. Set aside. Sift and measure the cake flour. Put it into a mixing bowl with the salt and baking powder, which you mix with a fork or whisk just to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt.
Beat egg yolks in large bowl of electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high until they have thickened are are pale yellow-about 5 minutes. Add the cold water and vanilla; beat again until thick -about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar; beat again for another minute. Add the flour mixture on very low speed just until mixed in. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on highest speed just until they form soft peaks. Then add the other 1/2 cup suar and mix 30 seconds more until they just start to form stiff peaks. Gently, fold the meringue (the beaten egg whites with sugar) gently into the flour and egg yolk batter with a rubber spatula until you can't see the whites anymore. Be patient while you do this; it takes about 5 minutes. Pour the batter into the two ungreased pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the center of the oven until cake springs back when you touch it, the cake has started to separate from the sides, and it is slightly browned on top.
Cool cakes on wire racks. When cool, take cakes out of pans by running a knife around the edges of each pan. If you are using pans with removable sides, then remove the sides and run a sharp non-serrated knife under the cake to separate it from the pan.
Let cool completely. Then slice each layer in half horizontally using a good serrated knife so that you have four layers. You may either wrap the layers well and maglie calcio online freeze them to use in the future, or you can just wrap them well, and refrigerate them until you are ready to assemble the cake.
to assemble the cake:
Drain the pineapple very well by putting it in a sieve, and pressing the juice out of it with a spoon. Set drained pineapple aside. Then wash the strawberries. Place them on paper towels to let them dry. Cut the green tops off them. Reserve enough of the prettiest berries to place whole on top of the cake (about 1/2 quart or 1 pint). Then slice the remaining strawberries and set aside in a bowl. Place the whisk attachment or your beaters in the freezer along with the bowl you will be whipping the cream in and the spatula you will be using. Let those stay in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Put the cream in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Then take everything out of the freezer. Pour the cream into the bowl. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the sugar in with the cream. Put the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on the highest setting, and beat. After about 45 seconds, pour the remaining sugar in. Continue beating until the cream is whipped. It should not be liquidy or loose at all at this point.
Place one cake layer on a pedestal serving dish that is large enough to hold it. Spread some whipped cream on the layer, about 1/4 inch high. Then sprinkle about 1/3 of the sliced strawberries on the layer. Place the second layer on top of the fruit. Spread more whipped cream on the second layer. Evenly distribute all the crushed pineapple and some of the sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Place the third layer on top of the fruit. Spread whipped cream on top of the cake. Evenly distribute the remaining sliced strawberries over the whipped cream. Place the final (fourth) layer on top of the fruit. Spread the remaining whipped cream on top and on the sides of the cake. Then place the whole strawberries all over the top of the cake. The pointy side of the berries should be on top. Refrigerate until you serve the cake.
Note #1: If you find you don't have enough whipped cream to frost the sides of the cake, leave the sides alone, and the cake will look beautiful that way as well.
Note #2: If you are baking the layers and freezing them to use at a later time, wrap them separately first in a good layer of plastic wrap, and then place each layer in a good ziploc plastic bag.Sildenafil Buy Online.

Midtown Raleigh News
Businesses from across the country rally to replace stolen backpacks
A network of businesses from across the country have helped replenish supplies at the Helping Hand Mission after more than 60 backpacks intended for needy children were stolen from the charity.
AdPro Printing & Promotional Products, a Raleigh company, rallied its suppliers to help after Julie Powsner, an account executive there, heard about the theft.
Powsner knew she would make an individual donation to Helping Hand, but she quickly realized she could do even more if she worked behind the scenes as well.
"I wanted to do something positive," she said. "I wanted to be able to affect my community."
Powsner let AdPro's suppliers know what had happened, and they have responded with donations of apparel, backpacks, pens and pencils, hand sanitizer and other items – more than enough to replace the stolen backpacks and the supplies they contained.
Sylvia Wiggins, director of Helping Hand, said the UPS deliveries from locations around the country have been nonstop since AdPro spread the word. And plenty of local businesses, from Ruckus Pizza to nearby Target stores, also have made generous donations, she said.
"Everything just looks like it's coming together from a bad moment," she said.
Wiggins said it was a relief to not have to turn away families who had signed up to receive the backpacks.
The Helping Hand Mission is a nonprofit organization founded in 1972 by Wiggins. The agency assists needy families with access to food, clothing, furniture and shelter.
Thieves broke into the Helping Hand location in the 600 block of Rock Quarry Road sometime during the weekend of Aug. 17 and stole the backpacks and the nonprofit's white pickup truck.
Police have since recovered the truck, Wiggins said, but no arrests have been made.


text: Houston woman kills husband by shooting him in groin after finding him with mistress By JESSA SCHROEDER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Police in Houston say a woman shot and killed her husband after she found him hanging out with his mistress outside a house. Debra Davis, 49, was reportedly driving near the 9400 block of Cathedral Drive around noon Tuesday when she spotted her spouse, Rodney Johnson sitting with the unidentified woman. A furious Davis asked them what was going on, then fired a gunshot directed at Johnson's groin area. Johnson, a father of one, was transferred to the Ben Taub Hospital, where he died from injuries. Authorities are unsure of how the suspect was initially prompted to the location or if the incident was planned. She was driving a grey Hyundai Sonata when she fled the scene before help arrived. Davis turned herself in after a short search by police and has been charged with murder, ABC 13 reported. Just two weeks ago, another Houston-area woman ran over her cheating husband with her vehicle. Investigators say Clara Harris met her husband David at hotel Hilton Nasa Clear Lake, where the fiery argument began regarding his infidelity. The noisy pair walked out to the hotel's parking lot where the fight escalated. In a rage, Harris jumped inside her car and drove forward, running David over to his death. 'She said that she was just distraught over the marital problems that they were evidently having,' Nassau Bay Police Lt. Joe Cashiola said in a statement. 'Officers arrived on the scene and found the victim had been struck multiple times with the car,' he said. Investigators say Harris' teenage daughter from a former marriage was sitting in Harris' vehicle when she ran over her father in the deadly event which she claimed to be 'an accident.' The Nassau Bay police confirmed the homicide was intended. 'Since then, we have brought the wife up here for questioning (and) during the interview she has admitted her involvement.' Harris was charged with first-degree murder and taken into the Harris County Jail where she was later released on $30,000 bail. Post Views: 589
