Paul Nuttall admits claims he'd lost 'close friends' at Hillsborough are FALSE
PAUL NUTTALL admits claims that he had lost close friends in the Hillsborough stadium disaster, made on his website in 2012, are not true.
The Ukip leader, who is contesting the Stoke by-election next week, was forced to admit that the claims on his website about losing a close friend in the 1989 disaster were false.
The original post made in 2012 took aim at attempts to block publication of files relating to the disaster, Mr Nuttall wrote: "Without them being made public we will never get to the bottom of that appalling tragedy when 96 Liverpool fans including close personal friends of mine lost their lives."
However, in an interview with Liverpool's Radio City News on Tuesday, the Ukip leader denied making the claim.Dave Easson, the show's presenter, who was at Hillsborough on the day of the disaster, showed him evidence that the statement was published on his website, Mr Nuttall was forced to reply.
Paul Nuttall admit claims made on his website about Hillsborough were false
I haven't lost a close friend. I've lost someone who I know
"I haven't lost a close friend. I've lost someone who I know," the Ukip leader replied.
Questioned further, he said: "Well, that's not from me. That is absolutely… I am sorry.
"I haven't lost anyone who was a close personal friend. It was people who I knew through football and things like that."
Mr Nuttall added: "I'm sorry about that. I haven't put that out. That is wrong."
A source close to Mr Nuttall he was only made aware of this statement during the interview
He was pressed further on reports from the Guardian suggesting he may have not been in attendance at Hillsborough in 1989.
Mr Nuttall, who was 12 at the time of the disaster, was a pupil at Savio high school in Bootle. One of his former teachers, a Roman Catholic priest, told the paper that the school believed it had been aware of the identities of every boy who had been at Hillsborough in order to help them, and that Mr Nuttall was not among them.
He rebuked: "I just want to make it perfectly clear. I was there on that day. I've got witnesses, people who will stand up in court and back me 100 per cent.
"It's cruel and it's nasty. It's making out as if my family are lying as well, which is just not fair or right."
Mr Nuttall's personal website has previously carried claims that he was once a professional footballer with Tranmere Rovers. After the Merseyside team stated he had been a member of its youth side, but never a professional, Mr Nuttall blamed his website's statement on a Ukip press officer.
Express.co.uk is awaiting a statement from the office of Paul Nuttall, however, a source close to Mr Nuttall has said the "first time" the Ukip leader encountered the statement on his website was during the Radio City interview.
They added the website is edited by a member of the party's staff and not Mr Nuttall, and while he didn't lose a "close friend", he certainly knew people who had died in the disaster.
Mr Nuttall is said to be "furious" with the error, which as a result of "two words" has thrown up another "bad headline" for Ukip in the run-up to the February 23 by-election.
The Ukip leader is hoping to beat Labour Party candidate Gareth Snell for departing Tristram Hunt's Stoke-on-Trent Central seat in order to become the party's second MP.
Responding to Mr Nuttall's admission, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said: "It is sad to see a tragic event like Hillsborough being dragged into politics in this way.
"Paul Nuttall's blatant untruths have caught up with him. I am sure voters in Stoke will punish him as a result."

Kahek B' Ajweh, Aleppo Date BiscuitsPublished January 3, 2019
Aunt Lizzie's Kahek B'Ajweh, are those Aleppo Date Biscuits we all love! Although Kahek is made throughout Syria and the Middle East, in all manner of spices, shapes and shortenings, these unusual biscuits will delight you. My grandmother, Sitto Naima, made her Kahek in a more traditional way, with a crunch and with lots of Middle Eastern spices. Aunt Lizzie's version is more of a softer and decadent version, with a fragrant orange blossom scented date filling. It's baked in the traditional crescent shape. Her Kahek B'Ajweh also includes the wonderful Mahlab spice, a signature of Aleppo baking. The secret, though, is in her shortening. The Kahek are often served with a side of homemade Syrian String Cheese, the very ingredient that makes up some of the shortening in this Kahek! What a unique flavor and texture it gives these Date Biscuits!
I remember that years ago, as a young married woman, I tasted her Kahek and knew I had to learn how to make them. Aunt Lizzie was gracious enough to give me her recipe at the time. I was surprised by the ingredient which really makes this Kahek so special! My husband and children called it their very favorite after tasting it for the first time! These yummy Aleppo Date Biscuits appeal to most people as a delicious after-dinner dessert, not too sweet, and perfect with a cup of tea or Arab coffee.
To learn how to make Aunt Lizzie Date Biscuits, her Kahek B'Ajweh, turn to page 26 of Sitto's Kitchen II Cookbook. The recipe for homemade Syrian String Cheese is also in the cookbook, on page 16. You'll love this secret ingredient that makes Aunt Lizzie's Kahek "one-of-a-kind." Believe me, these Aleppo Date Biscuits will make you as famous as our Aunt Lizzie!

Spain's next game against Portugal will be a grudge match 378 years in the making.
World soccer's governing body conducted the 2018 FIFA World Cup draw on Friday in Moscow, with the outcome producing a host of pre-tournament storylines and one irresistible matchup: Spain vs. Portugal in Group B.
Not only are the teams on-field rivals, having competed for major trophies in recent years. They're also neighbors, with centuries of cooperation and strife between them, dating back to long before Portugal re-established its independence from Spain in 1640.
They'll face off June 15 in their opening game, and the winner likely will go on to win the group and set the stage for progression deep into the knockout phase and perhaps all the way to the final. Portugal and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, the greatest-ever player for Spain's most successful club, likely will be the center of attention next summer.
On this week's episode of the "NESN Soccer Show," Courtney Cox, Marc DiBenedetto and Marcus Kwesi O'Mard discussed why Spain vs. Portugal will be the top game of the group stage, and you can watch the above video for their reasons.

"Shooting stars" would be an apt description of most rock stars: they flash across the musical landscape, then quickly burn out. The revolutionary, the
one who changes the course of music, is the one who remains like a fixed luminary in the heavens. The Beatles revolutionized the popular song, Jimi
Hendrix revolutionized the guitar, and Aaron Von Cello is revolutionizing the cello.
Like a general who keeps his secret weapon hidden until the perfect moment, Von Cello has spent his life preparing for this time. Showing extraordinary
talent at a young age, in his early teens Aaron was already a famous rock guitarist and singer/songwriter in the populated New York City neighborhood
of his youth. Suddenly at the age of 15 he stunned his friends and fans: he quit his band, cut his hair, and started practicing the cello day and night. Few
could understand his disappearance from the popular music scene, but Aaron had a vision: he would bring the dignified yet overlooked cello into center
stage. He would teach the cello to rock! Thus he became known as Von Cello.
A student of music history, Aaron realized that a true revolutionary must first master the tradition he hopes to revolutionize, so he began studying with
the finest cello teachers from Juilliard and elsewhere, obtaining a Master of Music degree from Manhattan School of Music. Then came the years of
establishing himself as a respected classical musician: premiering his original music at the First World Cello Congress and the New Directions Cello
Festival, performing in top orchestras on two continents, concertizing in Carnegie Hall, on radio and television, giving interviews on major news
networks including Reuters, Associated Press, and FOX, performing for world leaders, a president, senators, and other VIP's. Expanding on his award
winning song writing ability, he composed a dozen music books which are published by Oxford University Press. With thousands of copies sold,
excellent reviews, and the praise of many famous musicians, these books have started a revolution in string playing. They are now considered standard
repertoire, even appearing in the curriculum of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, U.K. The international performances of Aaron's
music are tracked by ASCAP, of which he is an award winning member. He is also a voting member of NARAS (the Grammys). Recognizing his rising
fame, Yamaha Corporation chose Aaron to endorse their electric cello, inviting him to become a Yamaha Artist. Other great music companies followed
such as D'Addario and Gallien-Krueger. Who's Who in America has included him in the year 2000 edition!
With the increase in the use of strings in popular music, the time is ripe for Von Cello to claim his mantle. There are famous classical musicians who
occasionally "cross over" to pop, but there has never been a rock artist who crossed over to classical music, gained respect, and then came back!
The time is now. The musician: Von Cello!

Matadero Madrid
Re-developed by the city of Madrid in 2006 with the goal of "promoting research, production, formation and the spread of creation and contemporary thinking in all its activities", the original Matadero was built in the early 20th century as a slaughterhouse and livestock market. The resultant set of pavilions housed administration, livestock, sanitary services, vehicles, and a railway.
The area was used for other purposes during the Civil War, and by the 1970s it fell in disuse. When the city chose to repurpose the space, it opted to convert 75% of it to cultural use, showcasing all types of artistic expression, from fashion to design to architecture.
Today, the pavilions in the Matadero exhibit a variety of artistic endeavors. La Casa del Lector promotes reading through activities and pilot projects aimed at both readers and professionals. Cineteca is Spain's sole cinema exhibiting only non-fiction films. Design is the focus of Central de Diseño, and the Nave de Música is a building geared to music, with recording studios, rehearsal rooms and a concert stage. Theatre is the purpose of the Naves del Español, which houses a café, performance area and a space for training, discussion and rehearsals of new productions. Lastly, the large esplanade of the complex can be transformed into a market, a bicycle race path or a venue for a concert.

CAREER: Unique Nanostructured Materials from Molecularly Engineered Bottlebrush Copolymers
Rzayev, Javid Principal Investigator
MetadataShow full item record
TECHNICAL SUMMARY The goal of this project is to utilize densely grafted copolymers with bottlebrush architecture for the fabrication of nanoporous objects and nanostructured materials with exact structural and functional control. The research supported by this CAREER grant will focus on (1) the synthesis of multi-component bottlebrush copolymers, (2) molecular templating of shape-persistent bottlebrush macromolecules, and (3) melt-phase self-assembly of bottlebrush block copolymers. Advanced bottlebrush copolymers with tailored chemical framework will be synthesized by a combination of living radical and ring-opening polymerization techniques. Multi-component bottlebrush copolymers will be converted to standalone open-end tubular nanoobjects with well-defined structural parameters (length, diameter and pore size) and functional composition. The bottlebrush macromolecular scaffold will enable the preparation of structures otherwise unattainable under thermodynamic control of self-assembly. The molecular design will be expanded to prepare radially amphiphilic nanotubes and stimuli-responsive molecular cages. The prepared nanostructures will serve as versatile building blocks for the fabrication of nanodevices and as encapsulating agents in drug delivery applications. Melt-phase self-assembly of diblock bottlebrush copolymers will be investigated for the preparation of periodic nanostructured materials with large domain spacings and hierarchical systems. An array of characterization techniques, including ultra-small X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy, will be utilized to study melt phase behavior of these macromolecules. This research will help to establish the relationships between the shape of constituent bottlebrush copolymers and their packing tendencies, which is an essential prerequisite for the fabrication of tailored materials on their basis. Core-shell and other advanced bottlebrush copolymers will allow for the fabrication of complex network and composite structures, which will be aimed for photonics and ultrafiltration applications. NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY The promise of nanotechnology cannot be realized without the availability of tailored materials that are precisely structured at the nanometer length scale. The research described in this proposal will provide access to new polymeric nanomaterials that are not attainable by any other methods and that will be of potential utility in a wide array of applications, such as nanodevices and nanoelectronics, drug delivery, photonics and communications, and water purification. The research program supported by this CAREER grant will simultaneously integrate educational initiatives to promote polymer and nanotechnology education in the Buffalo area. Nanotechnology workshops will be organized for middle and high school teachers to provide them with professional development opportunities and content gain. The aim is to increase public awareness and appreciation of polymeric materials and their impact on nanotechnology and other advanced applications, and promote the use of polymers to enhance science and technology education in general. The partnership with Buffalo Public Schools, the poorest urban school district in New York State, will maximize the impact on underrepresented minorities and low-income students. Polymer education at the undergraduate level will be promoted by providing research opportunities for undergraduate students, and by organizing freshman seminar series.

Imagine my surprise this morning when I opened up the paper and saw the caption on a photo said, "Bullets from an assault rifle travel three times the speed of handgun bullets. Once they enter the body, they fragment and explode." This came from an opinion piece by Dr. Leana S. Wen who is an emergency physician and the Health Commissioner of Baltimore City. One would think a Doctor would be able to do simple math and also understand how bullets function. So let's explore her statements. I'll choose a 9mm bullet because it is probably the most common round one will find today in semi-automatic firearms. The muzzle velocity of a 9mm varies, but if we select a middle of the road round it will travel at least 1,200 ft/s. Now let's compare that with the muzzle velocity of a .223 which is the round most commonly associated with a modern sporting rifle. Again a middle of the road number would be 3,000 ft/s with some being faster and some being slower. Let's apply a little mathematics to determine 3 / 1.2 = 2.5 which I suppose one could round to three, but should people with advanced degrees round? Suppose Dr. Wen was administering a drug to a patient in the ER. Should she say 2.5 cc is the exact amount, but let's round that to 3 cc? I think not. Now she could choose an exact manufactured round which has a muzzle velocity of 3,600 ft/s, but by the same token we could choose one with a muzzle velocity of 2,500 ft/s which in Dr. Wen's world would round down to 2. The patient requires 2.083 cc of the drug, but let's just round down to 2, no worries.
Now let's hit on what really caught my eye. She said, "once they enter the body, they fragment and explode." No, no they do not. They do fragment, that much is true, but there is no explosion which happens from a rifle bullet hitting a target. The .223 bullet is unstable once it contacts a target and it begins to tumble and fragment, but it NEVER explodes. I despise when people who should know better choose to represent statements as fact when they are actually false. Dr. Wen should know better (or at least Google it) and The News & Observer should not print opinions such as this with statements which are so easily fact checked for validity. Perhaps there are words of wisdom in Dr. Wen's opinion piece, but sensationalizing the photo in the print edition is yet another example of poor journalism standards from the N&O. Maybe Ned is hitting the bottle again?

As we get older, taking steps to improve our brain function and memory is something many of us strive to do.
Whether its by doing daily crossword puzzles, or taking part in brain training exercises, it's always sensible to keep on top of our mental abilities.
But according to a new study, there could be a much more relaxed method of boosting our memory.
According to Country Living, a new study conducted by the University of California has suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise a day could be enough to help boost our memory's abilities.
Scientists at the university tested thirty-six healthy volunteers, making them take part in cognitive recall tests both after doing 10 minutes of physical exercise, and at a time when they had not.
And reportedly, the volunteers had a far better ability after they had done 10 minutes of gentle activity. So which exercises specifically prompted an improvement in memory?
Researchers found that after doing 10 minutes of Tai-Chi, walking, or yoga, communication between the brain's hippocampus, and the cortical region, where we recall memories, was improved.
And while the volunteers tested were young, the project's co-author revealed that they hope to conduct similar tests in older people – and see equally beneficial results.
Latest Stories
Michael Yassa said that his and the scientists "main goal is to try to develop an exercise prescription that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or mobility impairments, but can still adopt a very simple exercise regimen and be able to, perhaps, stave off cognitive decline".
He concluded, "An evening stroll is sufficient to get some benefit,"
There's certainly nothing like a brisk evening walk to clear away the cobwebs of the day – so we're all for giving this advice a try!

Before joining Simon International, she had more than 10 years' experience in conducting and managing global investigations involving fraud, counterfeit products and threats received by international corporations and individuals. Her fluency in English, Spanish, German and Afrikaans and her knowledge of Dutch, French and Portuguese has consistently given her an advantage in conducting world-wide investigations.

Examples of investigations that she managed:
- Enabled a multinational client to take preventive measures and safeguard executives in Peru by investigating the origin and authenticity of emails threatening to kill local executives if the corporation did not take certain steps.
- Advised a multinational client on corrective steps to take at a mine in Honduras after an investigation determined the true causes of ongoing unrest and the identities of the instigators of violence and sabotage.
- Directed an investigation that led to the recovery of two valuable paintings by Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir, respectively for an Insurance client.
- Discovered widespread fraud and abuse during an investigation into the murder of a plant manager in the Dominican Republic, which allowed the Board of Directors to take corrective actions in collaboration with law enforcement authorities.
- Enabled a client to make an informed decision about recovering stolen funds through the identification of fraudsters and tracing lost funds during an investigation of a US$70M bank fraud in El Salvador.
- Directed the Latin American portion of a global counterfeit investigation, which led to the identification of the kingpin of the network in Panama. She advised the client and assisted law enforcement authorities in taking relevant steps to break up the illegal operations.
- Managed several executive protection assignments under challenging circumstances for a European high net-worth client with business interests in Venezuela.
Prior to joining Kroll, Marlinda was a consultant for Pinkerton Global Intelligence Services Inc., for whom she researched and wrote analytical reports on security, crime, political, and economic situations in Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

I am sitting here as the coordinator preparing for a meeting tomorrow for the Stigma Index Project interviewers and core members to discuss our next steps in developing strategies for eliminating stigma in our communities. It dawns on me that I am actually working to coordinate a meeting, me! -- a torn up from the floor up, ex-con, drug addicted, homeless black woman living with HIV ... who would have thought?
I think back to April 15, 2001, when I received my diagnosis and felt that life as I knew it was over. Here I am, working to help other women living with HIV to feel whatever they need to feel and how to grow through those feelings and come out the other side feeling something other than shame, guilt, and the incomprehensible demoralization that many of us have felt after receiving our diagnoses.
I am caught off-guard with a flood of emotions that include deep gratitude and appreciation for an amazing GOD that gave me a wonderful support system and has placed exactly what I needed at every step of the journey that still continues. I know what it feels like to have hope when once there was hopelessness, to have strength where once there was weakness, to feel loved when you felt unlovable. I want my journey to be filled with women that also know that feeling, and I desperately want to be a part of the process for as many as will allow me.
I have spent many years wearing a mask for every occasion; what a feeling of freedom to embrace the "betta Meta" that continues to emerge! I now have to freedom to continue to search deep inside of myself to nurture and mold and love the woman deep inside of me. I pray that I am in some way able to help other women living with HIV know that kind of freedom ... who would have thought?
Who indeed would have thought that contracting HIV would be one of the finest moments of my life. Who would have thought that I would have the courage to speak, and walk in MY TRUTH ... what an amazing feeling! Who would have thought that I would find the woman emerging with strength, courage, love, grace, and joy. Who would have thought that I would some day know what TRUE freedom really feels like?
I am so very grateful to the women that allowed me to grow at my own pace and who loved me when I did not know how to love myself, because I had no idea who I was.

Karla Gerard Inspired Patterned Landscapes
This is a new third-grade lesson to develop patterns of line and shape in landscapes. I discovered this lesson on Cassie Stephens art teacher blog. She's amazing and very generous with sharing her lessons. I made a few adjustments to the lesson for our kiddos and I'm thrilled with the work created by our third-grade artists. We found using various colored sharpies to create the landscape patterns worked better in creating more detailed patterns. The kids used tempera cakes as a watercolor wash and fabric puffy paint did the trick for outlining the 3-dimensional buildings. I am thrilled with the process and final outcome of their work.

It's a common misperception that you only have to worry about the division of marital property if you have a substantial marital estate—multiple homes, an investment portfolio or business assets. That's not the case. Unless you pay attention and assert your rights in Texas, you could lose half of any property you owned free and clear before you got married.
Texas is a community property state. In essence, that means that all property acquired during the course of the marriage is considered community property and must be equally divided upon divorce, with a few limited exceptions. Here's how it works.
When you file for divorce in Texas, all property will be inventoried and identified as either community property or separate property. Community property is that which you obtained after the wedding, but before the divorce complaint was filed. Separate property is any property that you owned before the marriage. As a general rule, property retains the character it had when acquired. So, if you purchased a home before your marriage, it will typically be considered separate property, even if some payments were made during the marriage.
There are specific exceptions to the rule that property obtained during the marriage is community property:
- Any gift or inheritance is considered separate property
- Any property purchased with funds earned before the marriage is separate property
- Any property that the parties agree in writing is separate or partitioned is separate property

The latest version of NeoFlex products hit the shelves this Spring and I was lucky enough to receive mine just before I travelled to Switzerland and Italy. So I've decided to put some words down on why it's one of my favourite bits of kit and why it should rank pretty high on your kit list!
Getting kitted up
Let's begin from the start – putting it on. NeoFlex is super stretchy with a soft lining, so it slips on really easily, wet or dry. Watching all my buddies chucking a layer on, followed by a sweaty cag over the top made me appreciate having it even more. The tops are only half a millimetre thick which meant I wasn't overheating in the sun when carrying my boat to the put-in. Needless to say getting kitted up in NeoFlex was a breeze and saved a bit of time too!
Extreme temperatures
My trip to the Alps was a great time to test out how well NeoFlex would perform in more extreme temperatures. The air temperature there often reaches the high 30s, while the water you're boating on would have just melted off the glaciers that very same morning, brr!
I thought the 0.5 mm thickness might not be enough for these more extreme water temperatures, but I was pleasantly surprised … there was certainly no gasping for breath as the first freezing cold splashes hit my face and body, and by the time I could feel the water, it was refreshing! The NeoFlex tops are lined with a soft lining that wicks away moisture when off the water and keeps you warm whilst on the water which is perfect for a hot weather, cold water combo. This lining is also great when the top is already wet, it takes away that goosebump feeling when chucking on wet kit.
Now let's talk about the fit. I'm a stocky 5'9 and the medium fits perfectly – no baggy bits and no discomfort. In fact, I hardly felt it on when I wore it, it was so nice to be on challenging whitewater and have total free range of movement and to feel no restriction. No seams under the arms is also a big win for me, I hate nothing more than chaffing under the arms whilst you're trying to enjoy a river. It was great to be able to paddle all day in comfort and not have to suffer the next day!
How does it look? This can be pretty important to some people, I know I like a little bit of colour coordination! The mens comes in a deep blue and dark grey colour with lime green graphics, which coincidentally matched most of my current gear setup. The ladies version comes in a two-tone light blue with a number of other NeoFlex products such as the bra top and shorts, ideal for SUPing, hitting the surf or boating in warm conditions.
I found my top to be pretty robust. Although I had packed elbow pads, I almost always forget or think I won't need them. Of course, this is when you end up taking a hit! I took a few minor elbow and shoulder hits and one bigger hit to the elbow, after some deep breaths and self-criticism about leaving my elbow pads behind I checked to see the damage, not a mark, and my elbow still works. Happy days!
There's only one point the NeoFlex might not be ideal and that's if the wind is picking up. Breezes and mild wind I didn't find to be an issue at all. But if you're choosing between your cag and your NeoFlex and the wind is blowing strong, it's best to play it safe and chuck a cag on. Having packed both on my trip this wasn't an issue.
Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked on my NeoFlex tops, they have exceeded my expectations by a long shot and I can guarantee they'll make your boating a little more special.

Evening Teeth
On his thirtieth birthday he left the party and the corner bar packed with bodies warm and humid, smelling like wet salt on the rim of a glass, the rim of a lip unkissed for months- Out on the sidewalk-seeking air- the hot breath of rain radiates and in the window next door plump fish swim in tiny circles illuminated by florescent lights twenty-four hours a day. Their small mouths also work in circles, saying nothing. Gold-mottled mutes enjoying the eternity of daylight. The sun never sets. They do not rest. These fish do not know darkness.

In the 15th report from ITeC EOTA Office, the main topic is the initiation of the conversion of the third set of ETA Guidelines to European Assessment Documents (EAD). Moreover, during this year's first semester 21 EAD have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, which reflects the dynamism of the European Technical Assessment (ETA) route.
These ETA Guidelines under conversion are: 005, 006, 007, 009, 010, 011, 015, 017, 019, 022, 028, 031 and 032. ETA Guidelines 015, 030 and 034 on which work had already started are also included in this group. ITeC leads conversion works of ETA Guidelines 028 and 034.
As long as the corresponding EADs have not been completed and published, ETA Guidelines will continue to be used for the emission of ETAs. ETA Guidelines can be consulted on the EOTA website.
The Reports from ITeC EOTA Office regularly compile information -news with comments- and relevant documents issued at European level, based on EOTA meetings and documents circulated through this organisation.
EOTA is the European Organisation for Technical Assessment dealing with products either not covered by any harmonised standard or deviating from an existing harmonised standard. As a member of EOTA, ITeC participates actively in all levels of this European Organisation.

AceShowbiz - Larissa Dos Santos Lima has broken her silence on reports of her threatening suicide and downing antidepressant pills during her fight with her now-estranged husband Colt Johnson. Taking to Instagram Stories on Monday, January 21, the "90 Day Fiance" star issued a statement to deny the allegations.
"Dear followers, friends and family, I would like to clarify that the rumors about drug abuse or suicide attempts are not true. I love my life so much that I would never try to do something like this," Larissa wrote on the photo-sharing platform. "These allegations are completely false and I have all my medical records to prove it."
The Brazilian reality TV star then asked her fans to respect her privacy amidst the difficulty that she was going through at the moment. "I am going through a difficult moment in my life and at this moment I would like to as people to respect and avoid talking about things that are not real," she added, promising to give more details about the issue in the future. "I will make a video to talk about everything on my right time."
Larissa was arrested and put on 12-hour hold earlier this month for allegedly attacking Colt during their brutal fight. "He had a swollen lip, and his gums and teeth were bloodied," Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer Jay Rivera detailed at the time. Larissa also suffered facial injuries during the fight, but police determined that it couldn't have been done by Colt because he's "a nail bitter."
Las Vegas prosecutors later filed a misdemeanor charge against Larissa last week, alleging that she "did willfully and unlawfully use force or violence against or upon the person of her spouse." Shortly after, she was charged with domestic violence.
Larissa is scheduled to appear in court on February 12.

With the data obtained so far, we visit the farm and the owner confirms that they are inducing farrowing on day 113 for sows to farrow on day 114. The procedure they use is the following: injection of prostaglandin on day 113 and administration of oxytocin to those sows that have begun to show signs of onset of farrowing. Upon entering the pens, we begin to see small and weak piglets (Figure 6) that we quickly link to the premature farrowing synchronization.
Figure 6: Photograph showing some weak or low birth weight piglets.
We verify that the feeding curve in gestation and prefarrowing is the recommended for this type of sows. In addition, all the parameters we measured support a case of low weight and lack of vitality in newborn piglets due to prematurely induced farrowing. Therefore, we decide to stop the induction in order to confirm the actual gestation length in this farm and, once defined, resynchronize it if so desired by the owners and operators —this time, however, on the appropriate date.
Simultaneously, since the only farrowing operator is accustomed to the use of oxytocin to make all sows farrow on schedule, we deliver training on more natural delivery methods. We also teach them how to collect data correctly and introduce them into the management software in order to analyze them later.
The change in procedures was conducted on the first week of June this year, 2014.
Despite the farrowing operator's concerns, since she is not happy about some of the sows farrowing alone at night, the next batches are not synchronized and, as expected, gestation lengthens, in our case up to 2 days. From that moment we start to produce the first reports.
As indicated in the previous paragraph, gestation lengthens to 116 days (Figure 7) compared to the previous 114.6, and heavier livelier piglets begin to be born.
Figure 7: Gestation length of induced farrowing at 114 days versus natural farrowing.
The number of stillborns in induced farrowings was 8.4%, not too high but susceptible to improve. Data obtained from the moment this practice is stopped and more natural management methods are adopted —with less use of oxytocin— indicate that the stillborn percentage is reduced by 40%, —i.e., to about half the previous percentage—, to an average of 5.2% stillborn (SB), as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8: Changes in the percentage of stillborn piglets before and after allowing the sows to farrow naturally.
Thanks to the combination of a decrease in the number of SB piglets and an almost 30% decrease of preweaning mortality (PWM) (down to 10.2%), the ultimate goal is finally achieved: to wean an additional piglet per sow. From that moment their average number of weaned piglets per sow is 10.9 versus the previous 9.6 (Figure 9).
Figure 9: Induced farrowing (at 114 days) outcomes versus natural farrowing.
To this day (October 2014), they have not induced farrowing again. The operator, who was not convinced at the beginning of the process, tells us the change has made her work easier. Farrowing is now taking place in stages over several days and the operator has more time to look after the piglets, feeding them the colostrum properly (Figure 10) and care for the weakest ones, such as those suffering from splay leg. She also tells us that, on the whole, the piglets are more autonomous when searching for the sow's nipples and taking the colostrum (Figure 11).
Figures10 and 11: The operator has more time to feed the colostrum and care for the weakest piglets.
This farm implements an intensive work schedule. Since the protocol change that took place in June —when they stopped using prostaglandin to synchronize the sows—, they all together decided that the operator had a split day on the 3 busiest farrowing days. Another operator has been trained to implement the farrowing procedures when the previous one is on her lunch break and her workmates finish their workday.
On the one hand, this study shows that an incorrect intervention with the animals can have a negative impact on production. Farrowing is a natural process for the sow; you need to control the process, but always having a sound knowledge of the genetic characteristics of the sows you are working with and adapting procedures (or removing them if necessary) to their specific needs.
On the other hand, analysis of the data collected on farms is a basic support tool, which supplements direct observation on farm, and helps troubleshooting and monitoring the results of the changes applied.

Stumped #WordlessWednesday
Once a tall, proud, tree all that remains is a crudely hacked stump.
For years I used to pass this tree on the way to my bank. I can't remember what it was because it was so tall.
But now that it was cut to size, I recognised it as the stump of what was once proud and tall….
Unfortunately, a recent trip to the bank showed that all traces of the tree are now removed and the hold tiled to provide space for one more car!
This is supposed to be a wordless post but I can't help express my indignation at such a travesty.
What do you think?
Sharing this with Esha and Natasha on #WordlessWednesday.

While we enjoy a number of health care benefits, there are times when you might end up paying some of your medical expenses out of your own pocket. In these cases, it's possible to claim medical expenses when you prepare your taxes, and receive a measure of reimbursement for your costs.
There are a few rules to claiming medical expenses, but with a little planning there are ways to maximize your claim. Make sure you understand how to claim your medical expenses before you proceed.
How to Claim your Medical Expenses
You claim your medical expenses on your tax form. It's possible to claim medical expenses that you paid for yourself, as well as for your spouse or common-law partner. You can also claim expenses for your own child or your partner's child, as long as he or she was born in 1995 or later.
There are a number of eligible medical expenses that you can claim, ranging from dental work to vaccines to services for disabled dependents. You can get a list of eligible expenses from the CRA web site. Make sure that your expense is truly eligible before you claim it.
You won't be able to claim all of your medical expenses, though. The first amount is exempted from claims. Of your total medical expenses, you have to subtract 3% of your net income (line 236 of your tax return) or $1,962, whichever is less. So if your net income is $40,000, you cannot claim the first $1,200 of your medical expenses. If your net income is $80,000, 3% is $2,400. In this case, only the first $1,962 is exempted from your claim.
Get the Most When Claiming Medical Expenses
Since you can claim medical expenses for you, your spouse or common-law partner, and your and/or your spouse's children, you only have to make the subtraction once. Since you are allowed to claim expenses paid for others, you can combine your family's total medical expenses to make your claim.
As you claim, you can choose to claim under either you or your spouse or common-law partner. Realize that you can't claim medical expenses twice in a household. Either you claim the expenses, or your partner claims the expenses. However, you will benefit by claiming under whoever has the lower net income. Continuing from the example above, if your spouse has a net income of $30,000, you can claim everything above the first $900, allowing $300 more than if it was claimed on your tax return.
You can claim for any 12 month period, ending in the tax year of your return, as long as you didn't claim the same expenses in the previous year. This may not make a difference to someone with regular prescriptions and other medical expenses. Where it could be useful is if your medical expenses in the previous year were too low to claim, but maybe the majority of your expenses were in the last three months of that year.
This means that you need to carefully consider how you want to set up your 12-month period to claim tax benefits for your medical expenses. Rather than claiming expenses from January to December, you might adjust matters so that you claim expenses from October to September. This way, if you had more expenses at the end of the previous year, you can add them to this year's earlier expenses and maximize your deduction.
If you are unsure, though, consult a knowledgeable tax professional about how to proceed, and how to best maximize your situation.

What Kind Of Pressures Are Bearing On Carnival UK? – Other Cruise News – Dickinson Returns to Carnival in the US
11/06/2013 Leave a comment
THE CRUISE EXAMINER at Cybercruises.com by Kevin Griffin
The Cruise Examiner for 10th June 2013
From last week's news of the termination of Cunard president Peter Shanks and P&O Cruises managing director Carol Marlow, with effect from this September, one has to ask what kind of pressures have come to bear on Carnival UK that it should sacrifice two such long-standing executives? This story is not a recent one and dates back to the days of P&O Cruises prior to Carnival's merger with P&O Princess Cruises in 2003 and the delivery of the Queen Mary 2 late in 2004. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, it was announced that former Carnival Cruise Lines president Bob Dickinson would be returning to Carnival Corp & plc as a consultant.

The Mekong River and the Dams that will hurt life around it. WATER & FOOD IN COUNTRIES OF THE REGION. Activities at the World Bank in Washington DC this March.
Posted on Sustainabilitank.info on March 16th, 2013
We would like to invite those based in Washington DC to "Mekong Days" – CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food, IUCN, and the Goethe Institute have jointly organized during 22-27 March, 2013.
The week includes a number of panel discussions and talks with a focus on the recently released movie "Mekong" produced and directed by Douglas Varchol with funding support from CPWF, IUCN and Sida. To learn more about the film go to
Please see attached a flyer describing this exciting program of activities.
I would be really grateful if you could share this with your colleagues or those whom you think might be interested to attend.
"Mekong" examines the issues of hydropower development and its impact on Mekong citizens' lives. Filmed in four countries, and produced in five languages, it includes footage of China's Mekong [Lancang] dams, as well as on-site footage of the controversial Xayaburi dam in Laos.
The Mekong Region is a massive ecosystem that is the lifeline for more than 60 million people across six countries: Cambodia, China, Laos, Burma/Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
For the people in the Lower Mekong Basin, it provides more fish to more people than any other river in the world. With an estimated commercial value exceeding US$2 billion per year, it is the world's most valuable inland fishery. At the same time, more than 140 dams are currently planned, under construction or commissioned for different rivers in the basin. If constructed, this will radically alter the basin's hydrology, its ecology and, consequently, the lives of millions who depend upon it.
How can two seemingly opposite demands be met – sustainable development of a region and the rising demands for energy and economic growth?
The purpose of this project is to open up the debate on hydropower development in the region through the use of innovative communication tools.
The film examines the issues of hydropower development and its impact on Mekong citizens' lives. It features stories of Mekong citizens up and down the river, from fishers on the Tonle Sap, activists still fighting at the Pak Mun dam in Thailand, to a vice minister from Laos convinced he can build the region's most "river-transparent" dam. Filmed in four countries, and four languages, it includes footage of China's Mekong [Lancang] dams, as well as on-site footage of the controversial Xayaburi dam in Laos.
This independent film was produced and directed by Douglas Varchol and funded by CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food, IUCN's Mekong Water Dialogues, and Sida.

Yasuo Fukuda, Japan Prime Minister, Renews His Late Father's Pledge, Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda, Who 30 Years Ago Pledged Japan's Non-Involvement In South East Asia. Now Japan Will Support An ASEAN Unified Market By 2015. He Argued That a Japan-US Alliance Stabilizes "the Asia and Pacific Region as a Whole" – A Renewal of the 1977 FUKUDA DOCTRINE.

Fukuda pledges full support for planned ASEAN unified market.
By REIJI YOSHIDA, The Japan Times onlline, Staff writer, Friday, May 23, 2008.
Echoing his late father's message more than three decades ago, Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda said Thursday that Japan will seek closer ties with Southeast Asian countries by supporting the planned creation of a single integrated market in the region.
Fukuda's father, the late Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda, is best remembered for his Fukuda Doctrine of 1977, which declared to Southeast Asian countries that Japan would build closer ties with the region and never again become a military aggressor.
At that time, memories of Japan's wartime aggression were still fresh in the region, which saw Japan's postwar rise into an economic powerhouse as a cause for concern.
Fukuda also pledged Thursday make Japan a "peace-fostering nation."
He cited Japan's Indian Ocean refueling support for U.S.-led antiterrorism operations in Afghanistan, the fight against terrorism and pirates in the Strait of Malacca, as well as Japan's contributions to regional efforts to cope with natural disasters and the spread of avian influenza.
Gold and Red Are UN's New Colors For The UN Declaration On Human Rights. Some Seem To Think That These Are Colors Of Contemporary Events.

UN blunders with human rights logo resembling robes of the Dalai Lama.
By Anne Penketh, Diplomatic Editor, The Independent of London.
Wednesday, 2 April 2008
After a long search for a new design, a South African artist was commissioned after the UN decided to ditch its blue and white logo in favour of one which the high commissioner for human rights, Louise Arbour, believed would have more resonance in the developing world.
The successful design was unveiled in December last year, when the UN launched a year-long promotion for the 60th anniversary, which is to culminate with ceremonies on 10 December. Nobody noticed any particular significance of the orange and amber logo, showing a person with outstretched arms. When the design was unveiled the artist, Yolande Mulke, said: "I think what the UN likes about it is the continuity of using the wreath device from the UN logo and the feeling of peace and welcoming that the man with his arms wide open projects."
But four months later, after weeks of protests by the amber-robed Buddhist monks in Tibet as China prepares to hold the Beijing Olympics, the UN has been embarrassed by the logo's distinctive colours which are also those favoured by the Dalai Lama, the symbol of Tibetan resistance. "It's a complete accident, we had no idea that the colours were those of Tibet," said a UN official. The problem for the UN – which recognises China as the ruler of Tibet – is that the logo has been chosen to replace the official UN Human Rights one not only throughout this year but on a permanent basis.
Susan Curran, a spokeswoman for Mrs Arbour, said no UN member state had complained about the logo. Chinese embassy officials in London did not return calls yesterday. But Ms Curran stressed that the decision was taken long ago and that there was "nothing specific" about the logo's chosen colours. "The criteria were that we wanted to show colours that were grounded and indigenous," she said.
The UN is enlisting artists, filmmakers and cartoonists to raise awareness of the human rights declaration under the slogan "Dignity and justice for all of us". A website, www.KnowyourRights2008.org has been set up to promote the campaign.
The Nobel peace prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called for Mrs Arbour to be allowed to visit Tibet in order to "report to the international community the events which led to this international outcry for justice". During the height of the protests last month, she urged China to allow peaceful protests in Lhasa.
However, Amnesty International has issued a strong criticism of the international community's response, saying that unless Gordon Brown and other world leaders speak out strongly and in public, "they risk giving tacit endorsement to China's repressive policies".
China has kept up the pressure by accusing Tibetan groups of planning suicide attacks, and it announced the seizure of guns, bullets and explosives in some Tibetan monasteries. China's Ministry of Public Security said it had arrested "key members" of an underground network in Lhasa working with foreign-based pro-Tibet independence groups to spark a "Tibet People's Uprising Movement".
"We now have sufficient evidence to prove that the Lhasa incident is part of the Tibetan People's Uprising Movement organised by the Dalai clique," a ministry spokesman, Wu Heping, told a Beijing news conference. "Its purpose is to create crisis in China by staging co-ordinated sabotage activities. To our knowledge, the next plan of the Tibet independence forces is to organise suicide squads to launch violent attacks."
The accusation was swiftly denied by an aide to the Dalai Lama, who leads a government-in-exile in the Indian hill town of Dharamsala.
The US state department also weighed in. A spokesman said: "The Dalai Lama is a man of peace. There is absolutely no indication that he wants to do anything other than have a dialogue with China to discuss how to deal with some of the serious issues there."
About 90 Tibetan exiles and monks protested yesterday in two waves in front of the Chinese embassy in Nepal, but they were quickly detained by Nepalese police who have stopped similar protests in the past few days.
The Dalai Lama, described as a "separatist" by Beijing, has upset China by deciding to make a brief stopover in Japan on the way to the US from India next week. "We have all along opposed him using any excuse or in any capacity going to any country to engage in separatist activities," said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu.
Blue and White might also be seen as the post World War II struggle of the Jewish people that eventually led to a free state. If now, 6o years later, the Gold and White is seen as a symbol of the struggling Buddhism, perhapse by the time of the 70's celebration the turn will come for a Green And White coloring to honor an expected feredom effort in the Muslem World. What colors are there for the struggle of the African People – who knows, their time may also arrive eventually.
Japan to give Â¥6 billion in aid to four Mekong River nations – Former Indo-China's Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.
Posted on Sustainabilitank.info on January 13th, 2008
Jan. 13, 2008, The Japan Times, Kyodo News: Japan to give ¥6 billion in aid to four Mekong River nations – Former Indo-China's Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.
The meeting, the first of its kind, will bring together Komura's counterparts from Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Laos.
The projects covered by the aid will include one to build two highways linking Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar that have been dubbed the "Indochina East-West Economic Corridors," the sources said.
Japan plans to disburse ¥2.2 billion over the next three years to help the Mekong region build road transportation bases from which truck cargo can be shipped to various destinations, and to train local customs officials how to conduct proper customs procedures, they said.
Separately, Japan will provide ¥2.2 billion to help Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam build schools and power generation facilities for poor people in areas traversing the nations, the sources said.
Japan will also provide ¥1.7 billion to support Cambodian poverty-reduction efforts, the sources said.
Komura will hold bilateral talks with the foreign ministers of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos on Wednesday, and with the foreign ministers of Myanmar and Thailand on Thursday.
