Jul 4 Elizabeth II, reigning queen of the UK, Canada, Australia and thirteen other sovereign states, praises Canada's commitment to preserving basic freedoms. Many Canadians are the descendants of colonists who remained loyal to the British monarchy.
Jul 4 President Obama says that this is the day that "we celebrate the very essence of America," the day that "we celebrate the principles that are timeless tenets first declared by men of property and wealth but which gave rise to what Lincoln called a new birth of freedom in America."
Jul 4 Political commentator Newt Gingrich weighs on the Fourth. He has attributed the creation of the United States to God – meaning that during the bloody revolutionary war, God was on the side of the revolutionaries rather than the loyalists, many of whom ran to what today is Canada. Among Canadians there is talk of God having created the many splendors of their country. In the planning stage the Archangel Gabriel is said to have asked God whether he was being too generous to the Canadians, and God replied: "Not really. Just wait till you see the neighbors I'm going to give them."
Jul 6 China has plans to build an 8 billion dollar oil refinery in Nigeria and to cover 80 percent of the construction cost.
Jul 6 In May, 2009, Niall Ferguson called signs of an economic recovery in the US "wishful non-thinking." Ferguson remains a rival to Paul Krugman's view that the government ought to be stimulating the economy. Ferguson calls for tax increases and cuts in spending in order to ward off a disastrous bond market creditability disaster a couple years or so down the road.
Jul 9 Fareed Zakaria (American journalist) and Christine Lagarde (France's Minister of Finance) have called for a combination of stimulus and debt reduction. Asked whether both stimulus and austerity can be done, Lagarde replied, "Yes, it can." She added that "We must, very decisively cut our deficit and reduce our debt." One way to do this, she said, is through taxation. The French and British governments have plans for raising taxes, "a bit more in 2010," said Lagarde, "than we did in 2009." Both have the Value Added Tax. The US does not.
Jul 13 Many commentators focused yesterday on a statement made by Erskine Bowles of President Obama's debt commission. Bowles likened the national debt to a slow moving cancer and said that the country was moving to "the most predictable economic crisis in history." He suggested that the crisis might be around five years away. Bill O'Reilly of "no spin" fame at Fox News echoed the disaster aspect of Bowles' speech and proclaimed that trying to tax ourselves "out of the mess" is a mistake. He ridiculed extending unemployment insurance and liberalism in general. Rachel Maddow of MSNBC spoke of Senator Kyl, Republican of Arizona, who said that "You should never (emphasis added) have to offset the cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans." He was putting a lower tax rate above paying down the debt at the same time that Republicans were expressing concern about the debt. Meanwhile, anti-tax conservatives in the US are saying little if anything about the new conservative government in London fighting Britain's debt by raising taxes. And the Republican Party appears intent on using the tax issue (tax and spend) against the Democrats.
Jul 18 The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is on its way to President Obama for his signature. Only three Republican senators voted for the bill. The bill includes Paul Volcker's recommendation to separate banks that take deposits and are federally insured from managing investment activities. See the Nov 8, 1999 for the bill that some blame for the banking crisis of 2007.
Jul 20 Anne Applebaum, a conservative, writes in the Washington Post about Americans demanding "ludicrous levels" of safety. She writes that "Most Europeans are reconciled to the idea that not everybody, at any age and in any condition, is entitled to the most expensive medical technology." She writes that Americans "demand more from their government than just about anybody else in the world." She ridicules overreaction to the threat of terrorism and that "schools should close if there is ice on the roads." She is also critical of the Tea Party movement.
Jul 21 At Fox News this week, Bill O'Reilly claims that Fox News is a "dominant number one," and he says that "If you want to know what's happening in America you have to come here." Looking at the internet as a measure, CNN.com is receiving around three times the hits received by FoxNews.com. The internet has to be considered an influence, and on it Huffingtonpost.com outranks Foxnews.com. And there are many other internet blogging sites. As to O'Reilly's influence, there is the question how many watch O'Reilly as a joke or merely for entertainment. Lately his show has been bending a little more toward entertainment. In numbers of viewers at any rate, according to Wikipedia, O'Reilly's show is bringing in around 3.5 million viewers a night compared to 2.7 million for the deadly serious NewsHour over at PBS. Sixty Minutes, at CBS, brings in around 10 or 11 million per show – the dominant number one news show.
Jul 23 Today in the Washington Post, a conservative, Michael Gerson, mentions Britain's conservative government raising taxes. He describes Prime Minister Cameron as having "proposed about four pounds in spending reductions for every pound in tax increases." This week by the way, Cameron spoke well of President Obama in an interview with Diane Sawyer and seemd out of sinc with a lot of Republicans. Cameron told Sawyer that he thought Obama had "plans for quite an aggressive budget deficit reduction that I think is going to take your deficit down to three percent of GDP from – from where it is today – by 2015."
Jul 28 According to the New York Times, the profits for 175 companies on the Standard and Poor's 500-stock index increased by 42.3 percent during the last quarter (April to June). Harold Meyerson of the Washington Post writes of US corporations winning greater profits by producing and selling abroad rather than rehiring. This, he writes, "portends the kind of long-term structural unemployment that we haven't seen since the 1930s." Meyerson sees corporations setting a record amount of cash. He favors tax incentives for investment in domestic manufacturing for development of green technology, and if the public sector doesn't fill the gap left by corporations not investing in domestic work, he writes, "the era of American prosperity, is history." By evening, Meyerson's article received 357 reader comments. One read: "Harold, you ignorant sl$t! The answer is capitalism, not regulation. Lower taxes for those that hire. Real incentives and controlling the borders. Easy."

Starting a small e-commerce business on your own, with no degree in business or marketing, can be challenging. But that's exactly what I did – I went into this without any clue as to what I was doing. I've gotten a couple questions time and time again from people looking to start their own venture, so I figured I'd answer my four most commonly asked questions for you guys! Enjoy :)
How'd you start out, and did you have to do anything to make your business legal? What about taxes.. I want to start a business but don't even know where to begin. I had to learn all the legal ropes of owning a business by myself – I had to obtain a vendor's license through the State of Ohio as well as register as a Sole Proprietor with my business. Each state differs, so if this is something you're serious about, do some research on whatever state you live in. All the money I bring in for my business has to be claimed on my tax return at the end of the year. Anyone who is self employed has to do this. Going into this adventure, I didn't even THINK about the taxation process, and as confusing as it was, I learned quite a bit. So many people have asked me about this, so here's a basic explanation:
Think about it like this – when you have a job, you fill out a W2 form & your employer withholds money from your checks for tax purposes. They hold onto that money & then pay it to the government for you. Then, when tax season comes around, you either settle the difference or get a return. When you're self employed, no one is withholding money for you – you must do that yourself. The whole legal & taxation process can be daunting, but this part alone has been such a learning experience for me, and it's been so rewarding. I highly suggest getting all your legal ducks in a row before pursuing any business venture. Also: keeping detailed records of EVERYTHING really really helps you at the end of the year. Just a tip.
Do you do all your designs yourself? Yes I do! Many times, I purchase resources or use commercially free resource websites to construct my designs, but ultimately I do it all. I design my products, mock them up & choose garments, I work with the printer to get things printed. I design my website, marketing materials, emails, shipping labels & thank you notes, stickers, etc etc. I also try to do most of the photography myself, but I have help from some amazing people as well. Check out the credits page if you're curious – I always credit photographers, and designers when I use their elements!
Do you buy all your inventory? Aren't you scared you won't sell it all? Yes and yes. There are drop shipping services out there that will print & ship your apparel on demand, but I wanted to package and ship each order myself, so it feels more personal when it arrives to the customer. I create cute shipping labels, buy cute poly bags and design little thank you cards to stick in each package. This is more time consuming on my end and it might add a day or two on to shipping time, but ultimately I want people to know they're buying from and supporting a real human being. And to answer that second question again – yes, buying inventory is ALWAYS scary, as I'm always afraid I won't sell it all. But that's the fun of owning a business.. you have to take some risk in order to succeed.
What inspired you? I remember sitting around one day in November 2016 and thinking to myself "I want to do MORE for farmed animals". I've been plant based since the summer of 2015, but I wanted to find a way to raise money to donate, so I could do just a little more to help. I knew I didn't want a company that was "vegan" centric, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I considered many things, including making candles, til I settled on the idea of apparel.. after all, I feel like I've kind of always wanted to do this. I was also majorly inspired by mega boss babe Hannah of BANGS Shoes for her entrepreneurial spirit, as well as other companies like Made in Minny, Wish You Were Northwest & Rad Earth Supply Co. I really wanted, and still want, to make my mark in the apparel industry, as well as continue to raise awareness & money for farmed animals, and these things keep me inspired daily.
Ultimately, hard work and determination play a huge role in the success of your business. I never went to school for business or marketing or journalism – just graphic design. I've figured everything out as I go, and it's been a mix of failures and successes, alike. Owning a business of my own has been my favorite learning experience so far and I'm so excited to continue to learn and grow alongside all of you. Thank you for supporting my business. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, suggestions, or comments! I love hearing from you guys & receiving your input.

In July 2018 i got to hear about a mystery bike that had been unearthed in a cellar in Somerset .The owner who had a large collection of motorcycles,vintage cars and lorrys thought the bike was a TWN,but once i seen a picture of the bike i knew straight away that it was a 'U T' Once again my curiosity for the 'Odd Ball German Bike ' kicked in and soon i was on my way down to deepest Somerset to view the bike and maybe buy it?
I say maybe as the owner is not really interested in selling he's collection of bikes, but i got lucky and he agreed to part with the little 'U T' Retrieving the U T from the cellar ment a lot of lifting ,pushing of other bikes to get it out plus being a temperature in the 90's i was a wet sweaty man!! but the bike was allowed to see daylight for the first time in over 50 years. The 'U T' was about 95% original with only the rear light,levers,handlebars and float chamber not correct! As can be seen in the photo's new exhaust pipes will have to be made and the tank sealed.I am pleased with the originality of the bike it was registered in England (Middlesex) between March 1962 and September that year, and the tax disc expired in 1964 .
As a footnote! in the cellar 2 bikes away was a nice looking PUCH 175SVS which obviously warranted a look over! after seeing the registration number it dawned on me that it was the SVS i restored for my wife about 10 years ago!!!! Some times it's a very small world!!

Sport brings communities together, and there is no better way to immerse oneself into sport and begin improving lifestyle than to take up cycling. Cycling however has long been considered a prestigious sport, with an often hefty price tag associated to not only a bicycle, but for all the necessary accessories as well.
"Sport has the power to change the world." – Nelson Mandela
In many communities in South Africa, this places cycling as a sport out of reach for a large number of the population, where those who may own a bicycle treasure it as their primary form of transport.
To promote the development of the sport of cycling at school and grass roots level and in turn breaking down the barriers to entry throughout KwaZulu-Natal, Cycling South Africa together with the KwaZulu-Natal Sport and Recreation created a blueprint for development cycling in the province. KZN Cycling Development – under the auspices of KZN Cycling – was formed and the roll out of the plan to reach each of the province's 11 districts got underway in April 2017.
With the first year having just closed out at the end of March 2018, the statistics report has conceded a significant number of learners that have passed through the programme. Since the end of July 2017, 293 development clinics and training activities have been hosted across all 11 districts with 16 278 learners having participated.
The programme was devised to provide opportunity to cycle to a broad base to compete at varying levels, structured to offer development clinics (exposure of cycling to a wide base of learners to determine whether it was viewed as a sport or recreational activity); grassroots races (staged on a flat field with a demarcated course where they could race against their peers); and district events (for learners who had already developed and progressed in skills development to race against their peers from other districts). In total, 22 grass roots races and 11 district races were staged.
For the system to become independent, individuals from all the districts were upskilled and efforts were placed on staffing, cycling hubs, infrastructure and equipment, training courses, the construction of a skills park, and high performance and training programmes and rider support.
The development programme went far beyond simply developing aspiring young cyclists and incorporated a full spectrum of training including courses to train coaches, mechanics, administrators, safety officials, event organisers and officials. A total of 594 people were trained in these elements and the courses were deemed a success.
Fundamentals of High-Performance (HP), training programmes and rider support was also rolled out, including a coaching camp, MTB coaching course, Track and BMX HP courses; as well as supporting already identified talent whereby Sithembiso Masango attended the 2017 UCI MTB World Championships in Cairns, Australia. Other support included advanced training at the UCI World Cycling Centre in Aigle (SUI) for Manqoba Madida; UCI Coaching Course attendance in Cairo, Egypt, by Travis Goveia; and UCI Training Camp attendance for Sithembiso Masango in Cairo in the lead up to the African Continental MTB Championships in April; as well as rider support in all disciplines to attend provincial and national events.
The cycling hubs that were established in the nine districts throughout KwaZulu-Natal assisted in driving the programmes within their respective districts with the support from KZN Cycling staff. The hubs not only became the custodians of the equipment provided, but also extended the network with other entities such as schools and cycling clubs for activities to take place at their venues.
Once storage facilities at each hub was established, a number of items were provided and safely stored. Bike trailers, designed and manufactured to carry 14 bicycles, were supplied to each hub, as well as 80 single speed Avalanche Charger bicycles, 70 BMX bicycles, 180 helmets and spares for all the cycles for training purposes and participation in the activities that were planned. Competition level bicycles were also purchased and supplied, including 10 mountain bikes, 5 road bikes, 20 track bikes and 20 BMX bikes.
A skills park was completed at Cascades MTB Park in the uMgungundlovu District, where skills and bike handling abilities can be developed and/or fine-tuned by those utilising the facilities.
By developing the young cyclists of KwaZulu-Natal, a huge impact is made on increasing the talent pool and discovering our future champions in the province. With the hope of this model producing sustainable success in KZN, it can then be rolled out into the other eight provinces.

Found this stunning image and realised that I have never done a post on dark wallpaper in bathrooms (tell me if I have, but I couldn't find it). Surprised? Me too!

Queens of the Stone Age are playing Boston's Agganis Arena this Saturday (October 21) and while the band's new album Villains is pretty divisive amongst fans, we can at least all agree that the live show we'll be getting will be nothing short of spectacular.
Last month, Josh Homme and the boys dropped by The Agora Theatre in Cleveland, and fan Mike Taffet captured some of the more impressive amateur video we've seen in a while. Taffet says he shot the video with an iPhone 7 Plus with a Moondog Labs Anamorphic Adapter, and it gives a good indication of what's in store this weekend.
Watch "Feet Don't Fail Me," another track off the new LP, below, and click here for other video clips from the show, including openers Royal Blood (who kickstart the Boston date as well). Featured image up top pulled from Taffet's video.

Master of Professional Studies in Multidisciplinary Research & Creativity
Chart your own course in the Master of Professional Studies program
The Master of Professional Studies in Multidisciplinary Research and Creativity evolved from UMD's beloved MLS (Master of Liberal Studies) program. This video showcasing a few of our alumni gives you a great sense of why and how a customized multidisciplinary masters degree might be perfect for you.
The Master of Professional Studies in Multidisciplinary Research & Creativity is an interdisciplinary, self-designed program that prioritizes applied research skills, creative and innovative problem-solving, socially conscious leadership, and the integration of theory and practice across disciplines. By engaging multiple disciplinary approaches to a selected problem, students develop their capacity to identify, delineate, and research key problems, building an empowered learning approach to their own professionalization.
Students assemble a degree program in consultation with their advisors. Unlike traditional graduate programs which focus on a single discipline, the MPS program allows you to choose from a wide range of elective subjects that expand your intellectual, creative, and professional horizons. Examples of this multidisciplinary approach include (but are not limited to) emphases in the following areas:
- Media Studies
- Global Indigenous Studies
- Medical Humanities
- Justice Studies
- Sustainability Studies
- The History of Ideas

This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
When Norda Allison saw her husband-to-be slap his young son, she immediately called off the wedding. Now she is terrified. Her ex-fiancé has beat up her new boyfriend. Anonymous newspaper clippings are flooding her mailbox—articles graphically depicting what jilted men do to the women who leave them. Then Norda's life takes an even darker turn. It begins with a barking dog, a child's scream, a gunshot, and the discovery of a very dead body—and ends when Norda is arrested, charged with a brutal murder.
Now only brilliant courtroom strategist Perry Mason stands between Norda and a sentence of certain death.

Dr. Kizza Besigye, flanked by Ms. Betty Aol Ocan, addressing the crowd in a Gulu rally recently
"Don't relax. The war is on. We should remove dictatorship and rule by the gun from our beloved country and reclaim it. The year 2019 is the year of actions. We want to use 2019 to get our country back in our hands"
"Don't allow yourselves to be confused by Mr. Museveni. There is evidence that he is in office wrongly, illegally and must therefore get out. Change will come to Uganda at all costs and we shall never give up until we get change no matter what happens"
GULU-UGANDA: The four-time presidential contender in Ugandan politics, Dr. Kizza Besigye, has called on Ugandans not to relax but to rally behind his Peoples' Government to remove the dictator from ever leading the country again once Dictator Yoweri Museveni is removed from the leadership in Uganda . He says the year 2019 should be used by Ugandans to get the country back into their hands.
"Don't relax. The war is on. We should remove dictatorship and rule by the gun from our beloved country and reclaim it. The year 2019 is the year of actions. We want to use 2019 to get our country back in our hands", says Dr. Besigye.
He made this remarks on Saturday, March 9, 2019 while speaking as Chief Guest at the Thanksgiving prayers of the Leader of Opposition in Uganda's Parliament, Ms. Betty Aol Ocan, from Kaunda grounds in Gulu City.
Dr. Besigye appealed to Ugandans not to allow dictator Museveni to confuse them with the current infrastructural developments going on in the country while he is looting our natural resources at the same time because he knows he is leading the country illegally without any mandate.
"Don't allow yourselves to be confused by Mr. Museveni. There is evidence that he is in office wrongly, illegally and must therefore get out. Change will come to Uganda at all costs and we shall never give up until we get change no matter what happens" reiterated the retired army Colonel, whom many call the 'Peoples' President' and many also describe as a 'thorn in Museveni's toe'
He says after successfully establishing the Peoples' Government early this year, his next move is to establish regional assemblies throughout the country and later on the district assemblies before mobilizing these bodies to march to Kampala to establish the 'Peoples' Government' before the year ends.
Dr. Besigye reminded Ugandans that there is no difference between the British colonial masters and Museveni's administration because they both built infrastructures, not to develop the country, but to create smooth means of transporting their looted natural resources (wealth) to international markets.
"The British made roads and built railways to take our wealth to Britain but not to develop our country. They built the Owen Falls Dam to smelt copper and used the railways to transport the smelted copper to their country through Mombasa port in neighboring Kenya cheaply", says Dr. Besigye.
He says Mr. Museveni is currently investing heavily in infrastructural projects such as road network in Acholi sub-region so as to take the wealth of Acholi with the aim of leaving the people of Acholi poorer.
He gave the example of the land taken from the people and given to foreign investors to enable them build sugar factories and grow sugarcane, should have been given to the local community through cooperative movements instead of giving the land to foreign investors to exploit our people.
"He is building the roads in Acholi to take the wealth of your region so as to leave the Acholi people poorer. They want you to be workers in their factories instead of you owning the factories through cooperatives", Dr. Besigye reminded the people.
He says the 'Peoples' Government', which he is leading , is fighting for all Ugandans to enable them have quality healthcare and education for all children; saying currently the current health and education sectors do not promote quality lives since most children are stunted with high mortality rates and rotten education system.
"If you have no good education and you are not healthy, then the good roads are not for you", says Dr. Besigye.
He says he will soon open up enquiry into the bribery case where a Hong Kong national, Mr. Patrick Ho Chi-ping is jailed in a United States of American Federal Court for bribing Mr. Museveni and his Foreign Affairs minister Mr. Sam Kutesa with the sum of US$500,000 each on behalf of a Chinese Company.
"He has got a lot more problem than he can bite. Recently a Hong Kong national, Mr. Patrick Ho was jailed in a USA court for bribing Mr. Museveni and Mr. Sam Kutesa. We are soon launching an enquiry into the bribery case. We are telling him as a man who accepts bribes to leave our seat. He is sitting on the chair with one buttock' says the Colonel.
The chairperson of Acholi Religious Leaders' Peace Initiative (ARLPI), who is also the retried Anglican Bishop of Northern Uganda, Bishop Nelson Onono-Onweng, appealed to leaders of the opposition to fight to bring to book, the untouchables who are destroying the once prosperous country.
"We thank God for enabling you ascend to the high office in our parliament. A bitch (female dog) can even catch wild game. God has put you there to catch the untouchables in our land. What policy is there to provide equal opportunities to all Ugandans?" Says the bishop.

Chemotherapy is often recommended as part of treatment for bladder cancer. Although the treatment can be given in several different ways, one of the most common options is intravesical chemotherapy. This means that the chemotherapy drugs will be given into your bladder through a catheter.
The Treatment
Chemotherapy uses special drugs that can kill cancer cells. The drugs target cells that are dividing quickly, so they will be most effective on cancer. Some of your healthy cells may also be affected which can cause side effects. However, the risk is low with this form of chemotherapy as the drugs will be restricted to your bladder. You might experience some bladder irritation, which could cause discomfort when urinating or make you need to urinate more often for a while.
When you have intravesical chemotherapy for bladder cancer, the drugs will be administered through a catheter. The catheter is a small, flexible tube that will be passed onto your bladder through the urethra. After the drugs have been given, the catheter is removed. You will then need to try to avoid urinating for a while in order to ensure the drug has time to take effect. The drug may be drained out through a catheter or simply passed in your urine.
When is Chemotherapy Recommended?
Intravesical chemotherapy is often given alongside other types of treatment for bladder cancer. The chemotherapy can enhance the effects of the other treatments in order to increase the chances of success. For example, you might have a single dose of chemotherapy after a trans-urethral resection of the bladder tumour in order to eliminate any remaining cancer cells. In other cases, you might need to have a series of treatments with chemotherapy over several weeks. The most effective treatment for bladder cancer uses all of the tools that are available to eliminate the tumour and prevent it from returning.

NICEVILLE, Fla. – Competing against a pair of NJCAA Division I foes, the East Mississippi Community College baseball team opened the 2014 campaign by splitting a pair of tournament decisions with both host Northwest Florida State College and Georgia Perimeter College during the two-day Carl McInnis Classic.
On Friday, the EMCC Lions bounced back from a 6-1 setback to the host NWF State Raiders by claiming a 7-3 victory over Georgia Perimeter. The next day during a pair of rematches, East Mississippi recovered from a tough-luck 1-0 loss to GPC to earn a 3-1 win in eight innings over Northwest Florida State in the nightcap.
During opening day, the Lions doubled their hit total from their loss to NWF State by getting eight hits against Georgia Perimeter. In Friday's nightcap, EMCC sandwiched a three-run third inning, highlighted by a two-run single by LeDarious Clark, between solo-run efforts in the first, second fourth and fifth frames.
Clark, rated as the nation's No. 40 junior college prospect by renowned scouting service Perfect Game, and fellow sophomore outfielder Colton Caver had two hits apiece in EMCC's initial winning effort of the season.
Making his collegiate debut on the mound, left-hander J'Daylin Jackson pitched into the final inning before giving way to Brock McKnight. Jackson, from Greenville's St. Joseph Catholic School, scattered six hits and gave up two runs over 6.1 innings to secure the victory.
The following day, East Mississippi also proved victorious in the nightcap after dropping the 1-0 decision in Saturday's opener. Featuring a classic pitching duel between EMCC freshman Kyle Liberto and GPC's Joe Marlow, the game's lone run came in the sixth inning. Following a lead-off walk to LaDonis Bryant and a subsequent stolen base to get into scoring position, Charles Sheffield later singled in the only run of the contest with two outs.
Liberto, from Gulfport's Hancock High School, surrendered the lone run and scattered four hits, while fanning two and walking four, during the seven-inning, complete-game effort in his collegiate debut.
Four of EMCC's five hits in Saturday's first contest went for extra bases. Tyler Odom had a pair of doubles, while Chase Reeves added a two-bagger and Chase Nyman stroked a triple.
Another classic ballgame followed during Saturday's finale as EMCC and NWF State had to play an extra frame to decide the outcome. The home-standing Raiders scored first when Lion starter Joshua Griffis allowed a two-out walk to Jack Crittenberger in the fifth inning. Reliever Conner Burton gave up consecutive singles to Ty Russ and Steven Jernigan to push across the game's first run.
The Lions immediately answered with a tying solo tally in the sixth. A lead-off walk to Caver was followed by a Trent Waddell single off Raider starter Brian Browning. Successive fielder's choices by Odom and Nyman knotted the score at 1-1 and sent the game into a deciding eighth inning.
In the top half of the extra frame, EMCC two-sport athlete Brandon Acker reached on an infield error to begin the inning. Following a Waddell single and Odom reaching via a hit-by-pitch, Nyman, a former all-state player at Pascagoula High School, stroked a bases-loaded, two-run single to make it a 3-1 contest.
The drama didn't stop there, however, as the host Raiders would load the bases themselves in the bottom half of the inning. After EMCC's Hunter Graham walked the lead-off batter, Hunter Swart came on to record back-to-back fly-ball outs. The tension grew for the Lions as Ryan Fucci singled and Danny Blanco walked to fill the bases. Swart then got Onix Martinez to pop out to second base for the game's final out.
Caver and Waddell had two hits apiece for the Lions in Saturday's tournament finale.
Coach Chris Rose's 2-2 EMCC Lions next take on Wallace Community College Selma in a neutral-site doubleheader to be contested Thursday (Feb. 13) in Livingston, Ala. Slated for a 5 p.m. start, the twinbill will be played at Tartt Field on the University of West Alabama campus.

Neil Gaiman on Revision
In response to a reader's request for tips on revision, Neil Gaiman writes:
The best advice I can give on this is, once it's done, to put it away until you can read it with new eyes. Finish the short story, print it out, then put it in a drawer and write other things. When you're ready, pick it up and read it, as if you've never read it before. If there are things you aren't satisfied with as a reader, go in and fix them as a writer: that's revision.
To me, Mr. Gaiman is spot on. Sometimes this is the hardest thing to do in the world – it's almost like I feel guilty when a put a piece down. The reward, though, is always there – in the form of fresh eyes and an improved product.

Read a Lot of Bad Stuff
If you are going to learn from other writers don't only read the great ones, because if you do that you'll get so filled with despair and the fear that you'll never be able to do anywhere near as well as they did that you'll stop writing. I recommend that you read a lot of bad stuff, too. It's very encouraging.

Couture Explains...
The Las Vegas cosmetic and dermatology office of Drs. Marvin Spann and Candace Spann is proud to offer Voluma for patients seeking younger looking skin! Voluma is a derma filler comprised of hyaluronic acid; a natural substance found in the skin that works to keep the skin healthy looking and volumous. During the natural aging process, we lose this valuable component, which can cause cheek volume loss and hollowed facial features. Voluma is a popular injection treatment used in malar areas. It is commonly used to smoothen replenish lost facial volume and enhance the cheeks. These results can last for up to two years with optimal treatment. Contact Couture today to schedule your consultation!

What to Expect
Using a think syringe, the cosmetic surgeon injects Voluma into the apex, apple and hollow of the patient's cheek. Results are immediate, and can last up to 2 years. Side effects are considered mild to moderate, and can last between 2 and 4 weeks. The most common side effects are tenderness, swelling, firmness, bumps, bruising, redness, itching or discoloration at the injection site.
Expected Cost
Voluma is more expensive than other injectable fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, because the results last longer. The cost of a Voluma treatment varies, depending on the amount of filler used. A consultation is required to determine what you will need. Voluma starts at $900.
Voluma FAQs
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
This is a naturally occurring substance that helps bind water to cells. Its cross-linking abilities help provide lifting capacity, which restores volume in the cheeks and mid-face.
Best Candidate?
The providers at Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery will create a unique treatment plan during your consultation. With extensive experience in a wide array of different fillers and relaxers, your customized plan may include a combination of different fillers and techniques to achieve the desired results.
Any Downtime?
There is no downtime after a Voluma treatment. Patients can return to their normal activities, but it is suggested that patients avoid strenuous activities for the first 24 hours after any injectable filler treatments.

GM Ignition Switch Recall Spawns Lawsuits
Posted on Mar. 24 2015 in Car Accident Information
There's a truism among engineers: "The more complex the machine, the more likely it is to have unexpected failures." This is certainly true for the ignition switches on automobiles. These complex little machines contain dozens of parts with tight tolerances and control multiple functions. They aren't simply on/off electrical switches. The simple act of turning your car key engages the electrical system, several computer modules, the car's security system, and, critically, the air bags. The opportunity for a design flaw is obvious. The alleged defect As early as 2004, problems were noted with the ignition switches on the Cobalt. In an NPR story, Scott Oldham of Edmunds says he noticed

Edited by: Alert India Desk, New Delhi [ Published on: February 22, 2018 11:30[IST ]
The Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice D. Y. Chandrachud and Justice A. M. Khanwilkar on Wednesday granted stay on all criminal proceedings against actress Priya Varrier and the director of the Malayalam film 'Oru Adaar Love', .Omar Abdul Vahab. The Court has issued notice to the States of Telangana and Maharashtra. The bench also directed that no police complaint/or complaint under section 200 of the Cr. P. C. may be entertained against the petitioners in any other state solely on the basis of the promotional video of the song 'Manikya Malaraya Poovi' in the said film.
The petitioners had approached the Supreme Court through Advocate Haris Beeran seeking the quashing of the FIR registered in the state of Telangana and the criminal complaints in Maharashtra by the Raza Academy and a group of persons under the aegis of the Jan Jagran Samiti for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims.
The entire controversy which has resulted in the filing of the criminal complaints and one FIR arises from the lyrics of the song "Manikya Malaraya Poovi" which is a Mappila song, or a traditional Muslim song from the Malabar region of Kerala. The song describes and praises the love between the Prophet Mohamed and his first wife Khadeeja.
The petition says that the song has its origin in an old folk song from Kerala penned in 1978 by PMA Jabbar, which was first sung by Thalassery Rafeeq, in the praise of the Prophet and his wife Beevi Khadija. "The claims that it hurts the religious sentiments of the Muslim community are without any basis. What is hard to fathom is that a song which has been in existence for the past 40 years, which was written, sung and cherished by the Muslim community in Kerala is now being treated as an an insult to the Prophet and his wife," say the petitioners.
A direction prohibiting the states against initiating any criminal proceedings or registering any complaint or FIR on the ground that the lyrics of the song have violated the religious sentiment of a particular community has also been sough.

MacArthur's Defense of the Philippines in the Perspective of the United States Press
Masi, Anthony
Prange, Gordon W.
MetadataShow full item record
When war exploded over the Pacific on 7 December 1941, the average American knew little of the Pacific world and its peoples. Although tension in the Pacific between the United States and Japan had heightened during the summer and fall of 1941, few Americans, including the press, envisioned a shooting war between the two disputants. While diplomatic messages continued through official channels, including a personal message from President Roosevelt to Emperor Hirohito, the American public was shocked into reality by the stunning news that Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor. Although momentarily shaken out of its complacency, the American public and some of the press, for the most part, believed that Japan could be defeated in a short time. But within a month this view had to be rejected, for suddenly, in quick succession, America suffered the humiliating loss of Manila, of Cavite, our largest naval base in the Philippines, and the island of Luzon. The one exception was Bataan where MacArthur's forces had dug in for a heroic stand against the enemy. The magnificent defense of Bataan by MacArthur and his beleaguered and outnumbered forces provided a ray of hope in an otherwise sad story of defeats during the early months of the Pacific war. The whole country took the general and his men unto their hearts. While the editorials of almost all the newspapers viewed MacArthur's defense of the Philippines as gallant throughout, they had serious misgivings about administration leadership and were highly critical of its conduct of the war in the Pacific. When the Allied cause in the Pacific reached a new low in February, the American press began to demand that MacArthur be ordered out of the Philippines to lead a unified Allied effort in the Pacific. When the administration failed to act and sent troops to Great Britain instead, the editorials of the American press became very critical. And when Bataan and Corregidor fell the editorial denunciations against the administration reached new heights. This thesis is a study of how the United States press viewed, analyzed, and reported the epochal events in the Philippines during the period 8 December 1941 to 8 May 1942. It examines the military plans and the political and national factors that had great significance for MacArthur's defense of the Philippines as well as the Allied efforts in the Pacific to halt the Japanese juggernaut. This work is based on the interpretation of information gathered primarily from about sixty-five newspapers, from examination of other source material pertinent to the subject, and from several personal interviews.

29/11-1/12/2019: Mourning, Depression and Mania: fuels of despair and reparation and creativity
The psychoanalytic approach to depression and its cognate states, including despair and mania, sees them to be parts of our human repertoire of responses to loss, the painfulness of conflicts of love and hate, and the god-like omnipotence not only of our destructive impulses but of our constructive ones as well. Although in ways that may not always be obvious, or often may be hidden and denied, most of these will be seen ultimately to relate to our great difficulties and struggles with matters of family, love and sex, birth, babies and death: issues that in fact are of the most profound importance to us, both as private individuals and as a species.
Detailed psychoanalytic work with patients across all parts of the lifecycle has led to advances in our knowledge and our ways of working. We have a better understanding both of depression and, in a different way, of mania. Generally, we understand them as fundamentally psycho-somatic states of both psyche and soma. An excess of painful loss and a predominance of paranoid schizoid feelings of physiological fight-flight can make forms of development that are based upon facing fact and reality very difficult. Instead, they can lead to complex alterations and deformations of the psyche. Without these being understood, they will limit and constrain what is possible for the individual concerned....

On the southernmost point of Bali's beautiful Bukit
Peninsula lies the Semara Luxury Villa Resort boasting stunning views, hill-top
villas and unique, inclinator-access to a pristine, private beach far below. But between you and me, hotel guests aren't the
only ones who can enjoy what is likely to be one of the best and most serene
beaches on the island. Patrons of the
hotel's restaurant, Finn's Beach Club, are also welcome to enjoy the beach and
its many amenities.

Lipomas: Diagnosis and Tests
How are lipomas diagnosed?
In most cases, doctors can diagnose a lipoma with a simple physical examination. However, if the lipoma is large and/or painful, the doctor may order a test to confirm that the lump is not cancerous. These tests may include a biopsy, computed tomography (CT scan), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
A biopsy is a procedure in which a small piece of the fatty tissue is removed from the lipoma so it can be examined under a microscope for signs of cancer. An MRI uses a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to take a series of very clear, detailed pictures. Like an MRI, a CT scan (or CAT scan) is a procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures, taken from different angles.
Once a lipoma is diagnosed, your doctor will discuss whether treatment is needed and what the options are.

Talk to us
We can help you to design, implement and evaluate wellbeing strategies to support your people and create a thriving workforce.
Why is workplace wellbeing important?

We aim to provide your people with the skills and knowledge to effectively manage your wellbeing programme in a way that best suits your organisation.
Supporting your people

We want your people to have the skills and confidence to manage their own wellbeing while supporting their colleagues to do the same.
How we work
Start with information
Our starting point is to understand what is happening in your organisation. What does your HR information tell you? What are your people saying? We'll analyse your data, or collect our own, to get to the heart of your wellbeing approach.
Explore solutions
Once we have reviewed the data, we will help you design wellbeing interventions that meet the needs of your workforce. We'll work with you to identify solutions to target particular issues across teams, groups or the whole organisation.
Align to business strategy
Wellbeing should be viewed alongside your wider business strategies. We'll help you review your organisational policies, strategies and plans through a wellbeing lens and identify ways they can be aligned.
Develop the strategy
We explore what outcomes you want from your wellbeing programme? What does your workforce need? What results do your leaders want to achieve? We help you articulate the aims and objectives of your wellbeing programme.
Measure the impact
To understand what works in your organisation, and why, you also need to monitor and evaluate the impact. We'll help you to collect the information you need to make informed decisions about how your investment in the wellbeing of your workforce is working.

I wrote recently about my desire to shoot some of Anthony Gormley's sculptures on Crosby Beach, and though I was successful, I was disappointed with the outcome for two reasons; the light pushed me towards a high ISO setting that resulted in grainier pictures than I really wanted, and the fact that I was battling with ubiquitous mud was too great a distraction.
Being back on Merseyside today, and graced with another day of hazy sunshine I thought I'd get down there for golden hour and give it another go.
The beach was more welcoming (the tide was coming in this time so the sand had been drying in the sun for some time), the haze gave new possibilities, and I was aware of more of the sculptures, including those out at sea struggling to keep their heads above water.
I thought it would be nice to combine a real person with one of the images in something akin to my signature shot of bride and groom when photographing weddings. Down by the waterline was a man engaged in his own artwork, draping a flag around the shoulders of a steely companion, he appeared to be creating his own photographic art.
When I approached him it turned out that we should have met sooner. His son was on a naval ship travelling up towards Liverpool and he had been trying to capture a shot of the ship but didn't have the right camera to do it justice. As he told me his story the ship was already disappearing from view so I was too late to assist. Nevertheless Harvey agreed to pose and I got something like the shot I wanted from this non-model!
Without the pressure of being covered in mud I was free to capture some of the other visual beauty that was all around me, reminding me why I use the name a photogenic world. There was plenty here to fall in love with. Wonder if I'd have thought the same if it had been raining though!

My imported copy of Thunder Force VI arrived earlier this week and I've been playing it off and on every day, blistering my fingers and trying to not die as often as I have been. I love the Thunder Force series, though, and this is just as exciting even if I have no clue as to what anyone is saying in the game. But in a shmup, the bullets do the talking along with the power ups, so there's no translation love lost there.
It's still got that Technosoft charm and is thick on story at the end which is a lot of material to listen to for a shmup. But that's Thunder Force for you…a good ending, different ones, too, for a good fight.

Let it Be Sed
(To children and best friends)
She was the sort who couldn't sit.
She'd try,
But she couldn't sit.
Her name was wrong.
Her parents named her Sedriana.
Sedriana Sabastiano.
Her friends called her Sed.
Others called her SS,
Some just hisssssed when they saw her go by.
But Sed couldn't sit,
She sauntered,
She stood,
She sprinted,
She sunk,
She often swallowed hard,
She tried to sing.
Sedriana Sabastiano was on a search.
Her mother thought it was for a star,
Her Dad couldn't figure what she was looking for,
She moved too much for him,
He got dizzy and would have to sit down when Sed was around.
Once he said to Sed, "Slow down Sed, quiet down, go to bed!"
But Sed had little time for sleep or sitting or snoozing or even sipping
the tea that her mother brought for her,
Or later that her boyfriend brought for her,
Or later that her husband brought for her,
Or later which she sometimes remembered to make for herself.
Sed was always said to be searching.
"Look," said a neighbor once concerning Sed,
"She swims, sips, slurps, skates and sneezes always as thought she is looking, peeking, seeking and searching for something spectacular, what could it be?"
Sed was always said to be free, Intense, frantic,… sometimes frightening,
often frightened, but free.
One day when Sed was no longer a child, her friend Sally paid
her a friendship visit.
Sally was a sweet, silent, contented sort.
Sally worked from 9-5, had clean cupboards and never seemed to mind.
She served on all the local committees, raised her children bright and strong,
She and Sed were said to be the bestest of friends.
One day Sally was on her way to visit Sed, walked through the door
And Sed was on her head!
"Sed," Sally said, "Why are you on your head?"
Sed came down,…one never talks while on her head.
Sed merely sighed and said,
"Sally,…Sally, I'm looking for a thread!"
Sally nodded and understood, put down the cookies she'd brought for Sed
and grinned and smiled with a nod of her head.
Sally understood for she loved Sed.
Sed packed her bags as Sally sat nearby and read.
Years later after having traveled far,
To Paris, Caracus, Toledo, Zanzibar,
Sed was on a train, munching a fig,
She wore a hat that she knew was too big.
Suddenly as the brakes on the train squealed to a stop, Sed slid
Forward and in her head went a pop.
She stood up, startled, shook her head once or twice,
And as if possessed, laughed and wept til the day turned to night.
The moon came out full and Sed sat alone,
Bouncing on the train realizing she was home.
No matter where she roamed she was home,…inside herself.
She hugged herself, her wrinkled brow softened,
Her search was alive, but her heart somehow blossomed, with a
murmur that can listen as well as be heard,
Sed found her star and bounced quietly along.
The train ran its route,
The moon flared its glow,
Sed was found quietly sitting,
As the train's whistle did blow.

2019 Fall Luncheon with Doria and Craig T. Nelson
Event Navigation
Doria's Bio
Doria Cook-Nelson was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico into an Air force family. She and her family moved often, back and forth across the United States. As an officer, her father chose to be stationed in America providing stability for his growing family rather than the distracting challenges of international travel.
As a teenager she competed AAU, training for the Olympics. As a young adult she was a professional film and television actress trained with Eric Morris and Actors Studio.
In early 70s (until today) she began her traditional and modern internal martial arts training in America and China. She competed in International Martial Arts Forms competitions and became a professional teacher and INSIDE KUNGFU photojournalist for her long-time art of traditional taijiquan.
A UCLA design graduate, she's been published in Architectural Digest, Interior Design and other high-end architectural design publications, having designed soft home & office art pieces to inspire interior designer projects.
Doria has been a member of Alanon since 1982, attending meetings while traveling internationally with and without her husband Craig T. She completed four sessions of Celebrate Recovery over a twenty-year period, learning how to enjoy and benefit from applying these communication skills. It's created personal tools to keep her body & spirit together during professional and neighborhood interactions, and most importantly for her immediate family.
"Any rewards or longevity of love and friendship, I've learned, is by keeping my 'glass half full', yet 'half empty'. 'Healing of one's self' has been about transforming young adult adventures into personal spiritual quests, striving to partner with my spiritual higher power, and to value experiences with my church and Alanon group studies.
She met Craig T. Nelson in 1978. They continue taking to heart the adventures of their married path since 1987.
Craig's Bio
Craig T. Nelson is an Emmy Award–winning actor, writer, director, and producer. He was born in Spokane, Washington. He attended the University of Arizona majoring in Theater and studied at the Oxford Theater in Los Angeles. Craig T.'s career began as a writer/performer on The Lohman and Barkley Show in Los Angeles. He was also a writer on The Alan King Special and the Tim Conway Show. He has since been extremely successful in Film, TV, and on Broadway. He has starred in a long list of feature films, the most recent being Book Club and Pixar's The Incredibles 2 where he reprised his character voice of Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible. Other notable films include The Family Stone, The Proposal, I'm not Rappaport, Poltergeist 1 and 2, The Killing Fields, Silkwood and Osterman Weekend.
Craig T.'s television series: Parenthood, The District, Coach (for which he won an Emmy), Call to Glory and Chicago Story and he has co-starred and guest starred in numerous other TV projects. He created his own production company, Family Tree Productions.
Craig T. Nelson will, on occasion, speak on the subject of drug abuse and alcohol addiction, an issue that is close to his heart. "I have been in recovery for 35 years and I want to raise awareness and help addicts and alcoholics find programs that offer them a chance for recovery – a chance to have a new life. Education is the key component. Addiction is suicide on the installment plan. You don't know who is going to be able to recover and who isn't, but you have to make them aware of the choices available. It has become such a rampant thing, it's pervasive and it's insidious, it affects families so dramatically and so deeply." States Craig T.
Craig T. loves music and is an avid golfer. He and his wife Doria make their home in Los Angeles.

Food Contributors
- When you are the cook and in denial that you are affecting the health of others: I cook with love.
- When you are the consumer and in denial that you have a problem: I eat what is in front of me.
By now, you should know my thoughts on how to start eating healthier…but a quick reminder:
- Stop the excuses
- Measure and weigh your food
- Log what you eat
- Prepare your meals
I mentioned in a recent article that I watch My 600-Lb Life and I like Dr. Now. If you haven't watched the show – watch at least one episode. While I don't know anyone with weight issues similar to Dr. Now's patients, I do know people that live similar lifestyles.
What's the Lifestyle?
Blaming others for how and what they eat. I've seen many people successfully lose lots of weight by following a weight loss program and within days of "finishing" the program, they revert back to old habits. Old habits come back for various reasons; one of which is going back to buying and ordering bad food. In a marriage, one spouse might do all the shopping and cooking, so the other simply eats what is put in front of them. For children, they are either following their parent's lead or they are controlling the food purchases.
Love with Food
Almost every week, someone – who knows they make poor food choices – says to me If it wasn't in the house, I wouldn't eat it. Who is to blame? If you purchased the food, then you are at fault. If you continually eat the food that others buy, then you are at fault. When you make food choices because of what your kids choose to eat, then you are at fault.
If you love yourself and others in your life, choose to feed everyone better. Stop buying and eating the crap food. Be an example and be a parent by making smart food choices based on their health, not them stopping or pouting because they aren't getting what they want.

The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara is one of the all-time great movies. Hollywood initially released it in 1952. It is fascinating to watch it today while considering the relationship between the two lead characters. And it's interesting to think about how people would be horrified if anyone treated a lady in real life like Wayne's character treats O'Hara's character in the film.
I wrote, "When Hollywood Men Spanked Women," earlier in December. One of the films I mentioned in that post was, McLintock!, starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. And as I was tweeting about that column, I received a reminder about another Wayne and O'Hara movie.
I had forgotten about that scene in The Quiet Man. In fact, I had forgotten a lot about The Quiet Man despite having watched it years ago on AMC (when AMC was still American Movie Classics). So I searched YouTube for some of its scenes. And while I didn't find the bedroom scene (you can read about it in this TCM analysis of the movie), I did find the following clip which is just as good.
What a great scene. And what outrage we'd witness today if any man treated a woman like Wayne's character (Sean Thornton) treated O'Hara's character (Mary Kate Danaher). And it wouldn't just be precious snowflakes who would have a fit; everyone would be outraged.
That notional outrage is an interesting thing to consider. Is it that the old days weren't as good as some people think? Or is it that times have changed so much that even the people who think they hang onto the values of the past have succumbed to modern ways of thinking?
Regardless, John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, and the rest of the cast and crew of The Quiet Man must not have shared the values we have today. They saw nothing wrong with a man manhandling a woman (indeed, they played it for laughs). They apparently believed there are times when it is okay for a man to hit a woman.
Modern society certainly can't fathom this but perhaps Americans of the 1950s thought that different women have different personalities, and that some women can take a lot rougher treatment than others.
Or, another way to put it is the way the Los Angeles Times put it last year in its headline of Maureen O'Hara's obituary: "Maureen O' Hara, the 'only leading lady big enough and tough enough for John Wayne,' dies at 95."
O'Hara starred with Wayne in five movies total. And the same quality that allowed Wayne's character to treat her character the way he did in The Quiet Man was a quality that O'Hara had in real life: toughness and an ability to give as good as she took.
Still, despite these thoughts on how Americans of the 1950s may have looked at life and male-female relationships, no modern person could tolerate a man treating a woman the way Sean Thornton treated Mary Kate Danaher (at least not anyone who writes political commentary or regularly uses social media).
And it's interesting to think about that, and to consider what it means about our times and culture and the fact that they've changed so much.
