The Amazon Head can be seen in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. The head is a marble copy of a bronze original. It has been tied to an artistic contest at the temple of Diana at Ephesus that took place between 440-430 BC. It was found in the Gardens of Maecenas in 1874. This head is from a type of statue signed by Sosicles that derived from either a Polyclitus or Karislas original. The head was heavily restored.

Mesothelioma: Here's How to Spot The Ailment Early
The immediate indicators of mesothelioma will be so mild that they may be observed by men and women as ordinary telltale signs of aging. Malignant mesothelioma is most often recognized in folks that are between 60 and 70 years of age, and other age-related diseases or changes in health could be noticed as the triggers for this health issue. Annoying/nagging difficulties which pop up months/years well before a diagnosis will ultimately grow to be unpleasant enough that medical attention is needed. However, at this point the condition might already have elevated to stage III or IV, lessening the probabilities for rewarding treatment procedures to be accessible.
Red Flags
It truly is essential that those who realize they have a background of subjection to asbestos do not forget these initial signs or symptoms.
A feeling of fullness in the chest - Pleural mesothelioma, the most rampant type of this ailment, has a bearing on the lungs' membrane coating. Fluid throughout the lungs could very well cause a sense of pressure on the chest. Even if this isn't unpleasant anguish, it can still be on the list of initial manifestations of the disorder (and every now and then the primary warning sign during the later stages as well). Pericardial mesothelioma might possibly show up as anguish inside of the chest in addition to coating of the heart becomes notably less mobile.
Side/back pains and discomfort - Both pleural/peritoneal mesothelioma may cause back/side discomfort. This might be the outcomes of fluid building up all around the lungs or a malignant growth inside the mid-section that is creating pressure on the back/side.
Breathlessness - This warning sign can occur from a deterioration of lung function as the membrane that encloses the lungs works less and less effectively. On occasion cardiac ailments, such as pericardial mesothelioma, could be sensed as breathing difficulties or a "quickening" inside of the chest.
Upset stomach and decrease in appetite - The primary warning signs of peritoneal mesothelioma can every now and then be misunderstood as a stomach virus. Nausea, appetite loss, and a general feeling of unwell within the stomach area are normally the first warning signs of this variety of the cancer.
The disorders for mesothelioma are generally relatively minor and as the latency period could be extensive, the affliction in many instances goes hidden until it's gotten to progressed stages. It is really not odd for 40 years to pass between the subjection of asbestos and the time whereby a client is diagnosed. The earlier anyone considers medical advice for even the least crucial discomforts, the better the prognosis will be for the disease, and the more treatment plans medical doctors will be able to implement.

This session was a long time coming. So much planning and thought went into it. I wanted it to be perfect. I've known Lisa for 10 years. We actually met online (before we were both photographers) and have always lived a plane ride away. Somehow, we've managed to see each other at least once a year, sometimes more. I was thrilled {and maybe even a little nervous} when she decided to escape snowy New York and come to (too) warm Florida so I could take her maternity pictures in early December. The only thing missing was her husband, but that couldn't be helped. Everything came together perfectly from her dress to hair and makeup to the location and the gorgeous sunset. She looked AMAZING!! The rest of the images were just a bonus. We did a few in studio and also executed this vision I've had of a pregnant woman in a stream. I love it when clients are up for anything! This shoot really made me love maternity sessions. I remember when I used to be terrified of them! A huge thank you to my friend Robyn for assisting at both shoots. She was such a time saver, a huge help, and a great spotter for that stream shot. I could do a whole post on behind the scenes images that highlight her…. maybe I will! In 7 weeks I get to go visit Lisa (and maybe some snow!) and meet her sweet baby girl. And of course take some newborn pictures! Lisa is an amazing photographer up in Syracuse, NY. Check her out at Lisa Rossi Photography.

The Legacy goes on
Sports Page — When it comes to the game of Cricket, Nevis has established a strong legacy. For a small island and population, Nevis has produced an astonishing number of international cricketers viz Elquemedo Willet; Derrick Parry; Keith Arthurton; Stuart Williams; Carl Tuckett; Runarko Morton and Kieran Powell.
Nevis also has the distinction of producing the first player from the Leeward Islands to make it into the West Indies team, in Elquemedo Tonito Willet.
Currently Stuart Williams is serving as the Asst. coach to the senior West Indies team which has gone off to India and Virgil Browne, a former Leeward Islands leg spinner is now serving as the team's Massage therapist. Carl Tuckett is also slowly but surely making waves as a regional umpire and it is hoped that one day soon he will be chosen to stand in the international arena.
But it does not end there. The legacy continues…
Nevis has just sent a young team off to Montserrat to play their first game of the Leeward Islands tournament and the players included in the team, speak volumes to the talent within certain families and throughout the island as a whole.
The captain of the team, Tonito Willet at just 31 years of age, is the senior statesman in the team and his brother Akito Willet who is just 26 is also one of the older players in the team. Both are sons of the great Elquemedo Willet and both are talented with both bat and ball.
Ross Powell, who is set to make his debut, has made waves at the regional under 17 and under 19 tournaments. He is the son of Ronald Powell, former Leeward Islands allrounder and former President of the Nevis Cricket Association.
Philo Wallace, a youthful off spinning allrounder, is the son of former Nevis and Leewards speedster, Raphael Wallace.
Saeed Williams, an aggressive young opening batsman, is the son of Stuart Williams.
Adelvin Phillip is the nephew of two former outstanding Nevisian wicket keeper batsmen, in Johnson Morton and Ray Phillip while Kejel Tyson is the nephew of former Nevisian and Leewards top order batsman, Clifford BOMBO Walwyn.
Youthful wicketkeeper/batsman Dymon Parris is the nephew of the late Mac Parris, a former outstanding wicket keeper/batsman for Nevis.
Kezron Archibald is the nephew of former Nevis speedster, Sylvester Browne and former lion hearted opening batsman for Nevis, Bernette NUTSY/BUFFALO SOLDIER Thompson.
Theron Bussue is the nephew of former Nevis cricketers, Lewis Newton and Sydney Newton
It's a young team with Justin Athanaze at age 25 and most of the other players are under the age of 23 and quite a number of them are teenagers.
And so, the legacy continues and without a doubt, the Nevis cricketing factory will continue to produce international stars in the near to distant future.

Watch Boris Johnson turn his back on Sir David Attenborough, our woods, wildlife and all the citizens of this country
It's spring. Nature is thriving. Even more so as we observe Covid-19 guidelines to protect us all, especially essential workers, like the heroes of our NHS.
So it's criminal that HS2's construction is also deemed essential ... and it's heart-breaking to witness HS2 destroying irreplaceable ancient woodlands full of nature - including nesting birds, active badger setts and swathes of bluebells - at a time when they should be protected. It's unbelievable, horrific and it must end.
ACT NOW - standforthetrees.org
As you'll hear in the film, Boris took full advantage of the platform he shared with Sir David Attenborough in February declaring:
It's only by repairing the damage to the natural world and restoring the balance between humanity and nature - which is now so grotesquely out of kilter - that we can address the problem of climate change.
- Boris Johnson - COP26 Launch - 4th February 2020
Yet the following week Boris betrayed Sir David and all of us by approving HS2, giving permission to destroy almost 700 wildlife sites - including over 100 ancient woodlands, to emit excess carbon emissions for over 120 years when we have just 30 years to achieve Net Zero ... and that doesn't even include the massive airport expansion HS2 is designed to enable. Continuing with HS2 is utter madness in the face of the Climate and Ecological Emergency our Parliament declared just a year ago. The UK government will look like hypocrites in front of world leaders at the next global climate summit they are co-chairing, COP26.
On top of this, the new full business plan used for HS2 to justify the go-ahead from the government didn't even take into account the effects of Covid-19 on the future of travel. It's clear that more of us will work from home and that a far better investment would be high speed broadband, not HS2.
To top it all off, HS2 even wrote-off the £9billion of costs they'd spent to date in order to make its cost of £100billion+ look feasible. It didn't work. HS2 is rated a 'poor' investment, even without the effects of Covid-19 factored in.
Experts estimate HS2's cost is already £250million a month and set to rise dramatically. At this critical time in history, we all know our money could be far better spent elsewhere, like protecting our NHS, restoring nature and supporting the most vulnerable.
So please ACT NOW ... watch the short film and demand a rethink of the insanity of HS2.
And please share this post with everyone you know.
I'll be back in touch soon with an update on our legal appeal.
Many thanks for your support.
Chris Packham

Massachusetts Drug Card - Free Statewide Prescription Assistance Program - The Massachusetts Drug Card program is a FREE statewide Rx assistance program available to all residents.
Country: 22.214.171.124, North America, US
City: -90.9714 Louisiana, United States
We got one of these car seats for each of my little ones and they fit great in our honda fit. The fabric feels so plush and comfortable and the kids also seem comfortable. I only have a couple of conplaints. The buckle that goes between their legs is adjustable but for rear facing it is recommended to use the one furthest in, sometimes it is hard to adjust my kids to scoot into the back of the seat so that I have access to the buckle. Also releasing and adjusting the straps is somewhat difficult, it is easier with my 2.5 year old I pull the straps from the back of the seat and this allows me to tighten the straps easier, loosening them is trickier. With my 1.5 year old it is extremely tricky to use this trick but as he grows I know it will get easier. The built in cup holders are nice. I had a chicco nextfit which I also really liked we moved that to dad's truck since using the maxi cosi gives slightly more space for the front passengers rear facing than the chicco for us. The nextfit was easier to take my kid in and out of but the cosi gives us a bit more space and comes in cute colors. I also chose it for the ease of removing and washing the cover although I haven't tried yet. I chose this year's model over last year's model because of the bamboo fabric since my boys are big sweaters. I also liked that the seat has a 75lb rear facing weight limit.
This stuff tastes nasty and there are no healthy ingredients in it whatsoever. I'm quite sure it's a scam.
Triple paste has been an awesome product for us! When my son was born he had a severe rash. After going through a few creams I stumbled upon this one. At first I felt that the price was steep for this product but after frustrating failures of others I decided to bite the bullet and try it......So glad I did! It has been great as a barrier cream and seems to have soothing properties on my son's bum.
Like a fine wine they get better with every short tour with Uncle Neil or without. So talented and the voices so clear. Better to listen to CSN than listen to the news. Music can express so much. Keep on rockin and touring.
This is it! We used to spend a lot of money whit products that were claiming to be the best even commercial products like for 200 dlls a gallon nothing worked,you know it's New York and all city hard not to see a roach sometime but I'm telling you this it's real miracle product do not hesitate will help you to get rid off your infestation problems,thank you!
I love this scrub; I've been using it as an exfoliant for years, on my face and neck, and sometimes even elbows, feet and knees. My mom used to buy it for me in high school. It's hypoallergenic, so it doesn't irritate my skin, but it doesn't smell medicinal. It has a very gentle and pleasant scent of apricot. It's a deep exfoliating scrub, so it's better to use it every other day, not daily. Perfect for removing dead skin cells, and leaving your face with a fresh, smooth glow. And best of all, it's affordable.
I have tested out this selfie ring light, because I am always searching for anything to make my selfies stand out and look amazing on social media at all times! This particular brand is extremely easy to use, so even without directions there shouldn't be any reason why anyone would have a problem using it. All that you have to do is put 2 AAA batteries in the back of it, clip it onto your phone or tablet and click the button at the top one time for a dimmer light, twice for a medium light and three times for a full light. It seemed to do a decent job, but for my selfies I didn't think the light was bright enough for me. It gave good selfies, but it was still a little on the darker side, even with 3 different settings I just couldn't seem to get a bright enough light. It would be a nice selfie light to have if you have medium to full light in your home, but my home seems to always be pretty dark other than a few hours during the day when the sun comes in a few windows. This is a really easy light to use and descent quality too!

title Breath of Autumn morning
back to gallery
entry descriptionLast year I found this place during a hike and despite I already made some shots that time it was clear for me that this year I would revisit this area in Autumn. And in fact, two weeks ago I was there again, in this beautiful valley between forests that showed their autumn dress in all their splendor. The cool thing was that I found this huge stone which I could use in my foreground composition to align it with the first rays of the morning light. And in fact it worked what made me very happy.
about the photographerI'm a passionate landscape photographer based in Switzerland. I startet with photography in 2012 but it was only in 2015 when my interest became a passion or should I say an obsession. Taking images in nature is a great pleasure for me. That means to hike, to explore and to feel a sort of freedom … and to experience nature sometimes at hours and conditions that are not the very best. Exactly the oposite to my life in the office. My goal is to show how I see the world through the lenses as we are only during a limited time here on earth.

On her television ads, Linda McMahon is cast as the colorful political outsider, whose supporters giddily ask, "Think she can shake things up in Washington? Oh, yeah!"
But the reality of her U.S. Senate campaign has been one of tight discipline and message control, crafted to give no offense as McMahon offers safe promises of tough fiscal medicine.
On the campaign trail, her audiences say they love what she says, even as McMahon barely hints at what she means when talking about slashing federal spending.
"I'm on your side," said Tony Albano, after McMahon walked into his Pazzo Cafe in Glastonbury last week. "I can't believe you walked in my door."
No one ever has lost a vote promising to cut waste, and McMahon is for the elimination of duplicative services. Social Security and Medicare are a different matter.
McMahon is new to politics, but she has learned to shun conversations about how to trim entitlements that amount to 40 percent of federal spending: Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.
"I can certainly tell you I'm not adverse to talking in the right time or forum about what we need to do relative to our entitlements," McMahon said in an interview. "I mean, Social Security is going to go bankrupt. Clearly, we have to strengthen that."
But those forums will not occur before Aug. 10, when she faces Rob Simmons and Peter Schiff in a Republican primary, or even Nov. 2, when the winner will face the Democratic nominee, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
"I just don't believe that the campaign trail is the right place to talk about that," McMahon said.
Her assertion may draw ridicule from some quarters, but probably not from the White House.
In April, President Obama created the Bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform as a means to defuse the politics of taming the burgeoning federal debt, which McMahon decries as costing taxpayers $1 billion a day in debt service.
McMahon entered the race as a celebrity, burdened and boosted by her roles as the chief executive officer and an occasional performer for World Wrestling Entertainment.
On the night she accepted the endorsement of the Republican State Convention, McMahon joked about going to Washington to inflict a WWE-style "smack down" on a recalcitrant Congress.
But she talks more today about the need for bipartisan compromise.
"We have to have more cooperation and smart people having really honest debates about the issues," she said. "That's what I'd really like to see."
McMahon talked about her executive experience as a negotiator.
"When I've done deals with WWE, big deals, network deals, deals with even working outside of the United States, where there would be more government influence in deals you were doing with television stations, you just always had to sit in a room," McMahon said. "You finally had to sit in a room, and you just had to keep going at it and talking about it, while everybody put their cards on the table."
Asked to name a model of bipartisanship and collaboration in the U.S. Senate, whose history is full of politicians who filled that role, McMahon only mentioned Sen. John Thune, R-South Dakota, a GOP leader not generally known for lowering the temperature of political debates.
"I've met with him and sat with him on a very preliminary basis," McMahon said. "I certainly think he has some good ideas to offer and would like very much to work with him."
Despite her concern about the deficit, McMahon favors extending the Bush tax cuts, which are due to expire next year without Congressional action. She said she would prefer that they be offset by spending cuts.
"When you talk about cutting taxes, you can't just cut taxes," McMahon said. "You've got to cut spending. You cannot not do both."
Again, how exactly she would do that is a conversation for another time, another forum. Some cards won't be shown until after Nov. 2.

Teams such as the women's lacrosse team and men's baseball team aren't able to have a 2020 season. Graduating seniors have lost their last ever high school sports season.
Sports are not only a fun and competitive aspect of high school, but also a time to bond with peers and build a sense of community. Missing out on that opportunity has left students frustrated and devastated as COVID-19 has stripped them of yet another activity that provided excitement and joy.
Although seniors also missed out on their last season as a high school athlete, some students are making the best of the situation. Senior varsity track runner and Haverford commit Oliver Satola said, "If anything, this season gave me time to focus on my sport. I had more time to put into running, doing harder workouts and running higher mileage."
Satola also said that although he had the time to train more, he missed the sense of motivation and community the track team provides. "What I missed the most was my team. Being around others that care a lot about their sport is what gave me the motivation to keep grinding when the going got tough." Satola acknowledged that these are difficult and unfortunate times, but urged students to keep working on their sport.
"These cancellations take their toll on the experience of the student athlete," he said. "We are robbed of some of the best experiences of our lives. If you are a student athlete reading this, stay strong and keep at it. Think about practice like putting money in a bank: Some day, you'll get on the field, out [onto] the track or the court and, by God, you will get to make some epic withdrawals."
Luckily for every other grade, there will most likely be a spring season next year.
Sophomore Max Burns, a varsity baseball athlete, plans on staying in shape and continuing his offseason training with a dynamic and intense workout plan. Every day, he does either cardio or weight and speed training. "I do a Taylor [GDS P.E. teacher]-style workout followed by running four suicides," he said.
For now, uncertainty looms for the 2020-'21 school year as well as the sports seasons. David Gillespie, GDS' athletic director, says that nothing is certain yet. "I can tell you that I have fully scheduled games, matches and meets for the fall athletics season in hopes of things improving," he said. "I have also been meeting with the ISL and MAC Athletic Directors regularly to discuss next year's athletics and GDS is in the process of putting together an Athletics Committee to come up with some scenarios and look at the options for next year."
Gillespie and all of the student athletes are hopeful that there will be no delays to the start of the 2020 athletic year.

It starts with one tiny voice
One tiny voice speaking up is what it takes to start a movement. First one tiny voice speaks up, and soon another tiny voice agrees and speaks up as well. Then more and more tiny voices speak up, and the movement gains more and more volume. And it all starts with one tiny voice. Whether you are the original tiny voice, or one that joins in later, speak up and speak out. It starts with one tiny voice, and it takes all the additional tiny voices to make a difference.

Jen's Vegan Eats is a blog I have created as a separation from another website project I have been working on for a couple years. While the other, VeggL.com, has a few of my older recipes, it primarily ended up being a one stop website for what to order vegan at chain restaurants, airports and arenas/stadiums. You should check it out!
I could feel over time where VeggL's focus needed to be.
So now what do I do with my recipe creations since this has happened AND I graduated from Rouxbe and am now a Plant Based Home Chef?
This is where Jen's Vegan Eats has come in! While VeggL is a team effort with my husband, Jen's Vegan Eats is all mine. I have complete control of content, pictures, colors and design. I feel very inspired!
What kind of food will you find at Jen's Vegan Eats?
To start, every single thing you see on this blog will be vegan. As far as cuisine goes, I make food using inspiration and spices from around the world. I enjoy making nostalgic eats from my childhood with vegan ingredients. I also enjoy a fancier plate that not only focuses on taste but presentation. Small Bites for parties are fun too!
I prefer to not put myself in a box.
I turned 40 this year(January 2020). I have spent far too long being afraid to put my voice out there.
This blog will cover vegan recipes and who knows what else. Maybe I'll post about my favorite skin rituals, natural face products I'm using to attempt to combat aging, top picks from my vegan shoe collection, my Mia's (one of my dogs) story about why she only eats vegan dog food… –we'll see.
I look forward to being creative for you and for me.

Fashion Friday! What do you wear when the trends say, "Brown is the new black," but you're a cool-tone-wearing kind of gal? Do both! In this case, it's all about the base (two shades of gray) with brown-hued boots, a statement necklace, and reptile-print bag. Cropped, wide-leg pants and snake print are also on the trend wagon, while VERY old boots, and a slouchy vintage cashmere sweater keep things from falling into the "slave to fashion" category. Sweater: vintage (via Goodwill many years past), pants: Banana Republic, boots: Ann Taylor, bag: Michael Kors (via Goodwill), eyeglass frames: Chelsea Market vendor. #FashionFriday

This is Highly Recommend, a column dedicated to what we're eating, drinking, and buying right now. Here, Sarah Jampel writes about A Dozen Cousins' ready-to-eat beans.
Confession, reader: Canned beans aren't quite as convenient as I've made them out to be. They'll get to the dinner table faster than dried, but open up the can, rinse off those bad bean boys (or not), and you've still got a product that needs some help: A few minutes to marinate in oil and vinegar. A dance through hot oil fragrant with garlic and spices, a handful of greens and a glug of wine. Mayonnaise.
And that's where A Dozen Cousins comes in. Their line of seasoned beans, which come in bags rather than cans, are actually ready to eat. Warm them up in the microwave or on the stove and…that's it. Because they're already seasoned and spiced, bolstered by avocado oil and real vegetables like garlic, onions, and peppers, you don't have to dig through the pantry or break out the cutting board. They're delicious on their own. They've been there for me when I've been near-stupefied with exhaustion. I've had the Mexican Cowboy Beans tucked in tortillas, the Cuban Black Beans with leftover rice, and my personal fave, the Trini Chickpea Curry, with roti from the freezer and sautéed greens.
These beans are the brainchild of Ibraheem Basir, who worked at a number of national food brands before launching his own. While the Bean Biz is worth nearly three billion dollars, Basir told me, existing products didn't reflect the ingredients' culinary significance or range. In most stores, the selection of ready-to-eat beans is limited—either refried or baked. A Dozen Cousins expands the scope, pulling inspiration from the food Basir grew up eating in the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill neighborhoods of Brooklyn with flavors from the American South, Caribbean, and Latin American.
Not only does A Dozen Cousins pride itself on creating high-quality food made with wholesome, easy-to-recognize ingredients, it also gives back. Since 2019, they've provided an annual grant to non-profit organizations working to counter the socio-economic health disparities that disproportionately affect Black and brown communities. Last year, the grant recipient was the LA-based intersectional women's hike club, Hike Clerb. And the year before that, it was Los Angeles Community Fridges, an organization maintaining a free network of public refrigerators throughout Los Angeles. Basir started the fund as a way to provide support to individuals, families, and communities who wouldn't necessarily have the means to buy his products. "In an ideal world," says Basir, "your health wouldn't be tied to your socio-economic status at all."
There's a lot of work that needs to happen before we can get to that point—and A Dozen Cousins will fuel it.

Finchem's new conspiracy theory: There's no evidence because the supervisors destroyed it
Photo by RichVintage | Getty Images
One Republican legislator who has built a national following by falsely insisting there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election in Arizona is now pushing a new evidence-free conspiracy theory: A planned audit by the Arizona Senate might turn up nothing because Maricopa County officials "destroyed evidence" when they conducted two audits of the election last month.
Maricopa County commissioned its own audits to examine the ballot tabulation machines used in the 2020 election. Those audits found no evidence of hacking, tampering, malware, changes to the software that was approved by federal regulators, vote switching or internet connectivity.
The two audits were done in response to baseless claims of voter fraud and conspiracy that the election was rigged against former President Donald Trump, but they have not satisfied Trump supporters, including state Rep. Mark Finchem, an Oro Valley Republican who has been at the forefront of spreading lies about the election in Arizona.
There wouldn't have been a #StopTheSteal campaign in Arizona without Mark Finchem
"We are hopeful that the shenanigans the Board has engaged in with their version of an 'audit' has not destroyed the evidence needed to prove or disprove the allegations that the election was illegitimate," Finchem said in an interview with The Epoch Times, a pro-Trump far-right website that boosted election conspiracy theories.
Finchem reiterated that point in an email to supporters, calling the audit a "sham" and asserting that the audits destroyed evidence and "interfered with a legitimate Senate subpoena."
And appearing on Steve Bannon's show War Room, Finchem said the audits the supervisors did amount to interfering with a "crime scene." He said he has also asked Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich's office to open a criminal investigation and convene a grand jury.
Brnovich's office said that's not true.
"Representative Finchem has not met with investigators from our office to discuss allegations of voter fraud or the 2020 election," Brnovich spokesman Ryan Anderson said in a statement to the Arizona Mirror. "We have consistently said that if anyone has evidence of voter fraud, they are encouraged to contact our office and speak with investigators."
Finchem did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
Finchem presented nothing to support his claim that the county supervisors or their auditors destroyed any records. But Supervisor Steve Gallardo, the board's lone Democrat, said that absence of evidence is itself being used as proof that there's a conspiracy.
"We kinda saw this type of talking point being used in other YouTube videos," Gallardo said, referencing the litany of conspiratorial videos that have surfaced online in the wake of the 2020 election that have alleged malfeasance in Arizona's election. "There is no audit that can be done that will satisfy Mr. Finchem."
The reality, he said, is that the "deep-dive analysis" of the machines conducted by auditors showed there was no truth to any of the claims that the equipment had been tampered with or connected to the internet, or that they were programmed to rig the election.
The new allegations left Bill Gates, the Republican vice chair of the board of supervisors, frustrated.
"We have nothing to hide. These were two transparent audits where we had representatives of various governmental agencies there," he told the Mirror. "It sounds to me like Finchem is trying to continue these politically motivated political prosecutions."
"Despite our best efforts, we know there will be a percentage of folks that will still believe that this was a fraudulent election — even though there was no evidence of that," Gates said. "It's sad to see that some people can't be convinced by the facts."
Currently, the board is waiting for word from the Senate on how to deliver ballots and tabulation machines to the Senate after Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason ruled that it was within the Senate's authority to subpoena that equipment.

Giovanni (John) Cocciardi, Co-founder, Owner of M+CC Modular & Custom Cabinets (MCC Dental), and dental industry visionary, passed away peacefully at the age of 83 on Wednesday, March 24th, 2021.
Giovanni Cocciardi arrived in Toronto, Canada, from Panni, Italy in 1961 and started working for a large furniture company building cabinets. His craftsmanship stood out and Giovanni was asked along with a colleague, if he would apply his design and woodworking talents to help create dental furniture.
After a year, the two of them struck out on their own, supported by an industry sales representative who encouraged them to build their own company. It wasn't long before M+CC Modular & Custom Cabinets began working directly with distributors and after a few years, the company started to grow, with their product been distributed to both U.S. and Canadian dental offices.
Today, M+CC Modular & Custom Cabinets is known for quality craftsmanship, functionality, value and innovation in the North American dental cabinet industry. The company has been responsible for many industry 'firsts'.
In interviews in 2017, Giovanni reflected, "Every year, we learned and created something new. We always kept the needs of dentists at the centre of any new product development and we have always been trusted for our service."
Giovanni enlisted the support of his five sons while they were growing up. His children came to the company after school to help with odd jobs like sweeping the shop floor and their responsibilities grew over time. Eventually, Giovanni's sons would take over the business. Today, M+CC Modular & Custom Cabinets is run by four out of five of Giovanni's sons. "I am proud of all of them", Giovanni said during his 50th anniversary year, "The four sons that run the business today and the fifth son, who has made his own career."
Giovanni will be remembered for his lifelong passion and dedication to serving the dental industry. "Until recently, our father came to work every day to offer his guidance and wisdom. Prior to Covid-19, our father could often be found on the sales floor at conventions, talking to dental customers about their needs, learning at every opportunity. He was a true, life-long learner", say Giovanni's sons.
Giovanni Cocciardi is survived by his wife, Graziella Cocciardi, his five sons, and his 11 grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Giovanni's honour to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Giovanni https://www.cancer.ca/en/donate

To those outside of YouTube, Social Blade is just another analytics site that tracks subscriber growth or loss. But it's not. Social Blade has become a crucial component to being a YouTube creator, providing creators with numbers to prove why they matter as a community.
Now, Social Blade's time might be up. YouTube's product team is introducing a change to the platform in August that will hide live subscriber counts. The change will affect third-party sites that use YouTube's API to render their data, including Social Blade. Dozens of YouTube channels dedicated to live-streaming subscriber battles (like T-Series versus PewDiePie) will no longer work because they won't have access to Social Blade's data counter. Social Blade was the first site to quantify YouTube culture's popularity with easy-to-understand data.
That's why Social Blade's existence means everything to the community. Its real-time subscriber counter has become the face of success, and sometimes failure. Social Blade's counter is just as recognizable as some top creators, and quite frankly, its counter is the most aesthetically pleasing. That's why many people tweeted in support of the site on Thursday night, managing to get "#SaveSocialBlade" trending across the United States.
"To see YouTube effectively killing off Social Blade is painful to watch."
"If this had come into effect a few months sooner, the whole PewDiePie vs T-Series meme wouldn't have even been a thing," popular YouTube meme creator Grandayy tweeted. "#SaveSocialBlade."
Some of YouTube's biggest cultural moments have relied on or incorporated Social Blade. T-Series' meteoric rise was first noticed by Social Blade; beauty guru Tati Westbrook's fight with makeup superstar James Charles was fought with Social Blade statistics. It's not just drama, though. Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon used a live Social Blade counter to celebrate passing 20 million subscribers with his audience. Watching that counter move and cross over into a million, 5 million, or 10 million subscribers is a cultural staple on YouTube — that's because of Social Blade.
To say the response from the community to Social Blade's predicament overwhelmed the team would be an understatement.
"Since we provide most of our services to the community for free as a community service without requiring even a log in most of the time we don't really even know who is using it," Social Blade CEO Jason Urgo told The Verge via email. "The amount of people, big and small that have been showing their support and even got us to become a trending topic in a couple of countries last night is just so humbling."
Many creators used the #SaveSocialBlade hashtag as a way to point out how necessary Social Blade has always been. YouTube has slowly added to its internal studio tool for YouTubers, and is trying to get more people to rely on some of the platform's internal metric tools that are just being introduced. Killing off a Social Blade's abilities, however, is the wrong way to go about it.
"To see YouTube effectively killing off Social Blade is painful to watch," comedian and popular YouTuber Jesse Ridgway tweeted. "We've turned to SB for years for live subscriber counts and simplified statistics."
Urgo told The Verge that a YouTube representative did reach out to the Social Blade team after the hashtag began trending to discuss upcoming API changes. He doesn't know if that's going to change anything for his website, but he's hopeful. YouTubers are mad, and when creators get angry, YouTube tends to listen.

So, if I do say so myself, I'm rather happy with how these little cupcakes turned out! I used only wholegrain, plant-based ingredients, replacing white flour for whole wheat, sugar for coconut sugar and milk for coconut milk. These vanilla beetroot cupcakes will even provide you with 1 of your 5-a-day. Being that I love coconut, I whipped up some vegan coconut icing to compliment the flavours in the cupcakes and they went down a treat!
Health benefits of beetroot:
- Beets contain nutrients that protect cells and enzymes from environmental stress.
- They are high in vitamin C, helping to boost your immune system.
- They also provide essential vitamins such as, fibre, potassium and B vitamin folate.
Ingredients (makes 6. Double up on ingredients to make 12)
- 3 cooked beets
- 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 a cup of coconut sugar
- 1/4 of a cup of melted coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
For the icing:
- 3 cups of icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
- 3 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius and line a cupcake tin with cupcake holders.
- In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with the coconut sugar and baking powder.
- Using a blender, combine the beets, coconut oil, coconut milk and vanilla. Once blended, add to the bowl of dry ingredients.
- Pour the mixture into the cases, ready to put in the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes and allow to cool completely before icing them.
Method for icing
- Beat all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth consistency. Keep refrigerated until the cupcakes are ready to be iced.
- Dust with cocoa powder (optional).

Do you know the best sincere form of respect is listening? Some people do not listen to others, and even do not allow others to speak. They just continue their talk and force others to listen to what they say. Because they think that they are always correct. This means they do not respect others or their words.
Listening is the best sincere form of Respect
Advantages of listening
It helps to earn the trust of your colleagues and deepen your relationship with them. Everyone appreciates people willing to lend an ear when needed.
When you listen patiently, you are able to understand any situation better and come up with the best possible solution.
This helps you to understand others' perspectives and come to mutual respect during the difference of opinion, despite not actually agreeing to it.
If a person is in a leadership role, listening is very important. When his team sees that their leader acknowledges and understands their issues, that helps the leader in gaining the respect and love of the team. This also keeps the team motivated.
[bctt tweet="Being an active listener is the key to strong workplace relationships" username="simplylife_tips"]
We should respect others. Listen to what another has to say.
Always Stay Happy And Smile At Life
The First Step To Achieving Greatness Is The Desire For Success
Listening is proved to be a great sign of respect but the skill to listen is really scarce. Let go of the greed of putting across your points first. To have an upper hand in conversations requires maturity and the quality of listening. When you listen to others and don't interrupt their talk, you are respecting that person.
Do you have the habit of listening to others?

text: A Great Story, A Great Experience, and a Great Lesson I was lately welcomed to play golf with a close friend of mine and also it is a tale that I have to share. When you see real life instances of it at work, particularly for higher handicap gamers, as well as exactly how the imaginative side of golf if allowed to surface can get rid of substantial swing flaws, it is a story I really feel obliged to share. It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon in south Texas. I do not get to play this course a whole lot yet when I do, it is a real treat. Nick Cost and also other tour players compare it to the Valderrama Golf Club in Spain where they hold Ryder Cup matches and also European PGA Trip events. The opening hole is not long but calls for a very demanding tee shot as a result of very large oak trees detailing the fairway. The method shot is shortly but the green is tiny, undulated, and also framed by extremely deep green side shelters. While basing on the second tee box of the requiring the same level 3 2nd opening, he starts to define his technique for the hole in what I presumed to be idle discussion. He intends to purposefully strike a shot that winds up except the eco-friendly and then chip and putt for the same level. He has the fire power to strike the eco-friendly yet does not have the constant precision to prevent the extremely chastening bunkers that frame the whole green. He has identified his restrictions as well as is detailing a strategy that plays into his 18 handicapper staminas. The technique practically pays off. What do you think would certainly happen if golf enthusiasts tried to play the game with this mind established? "I mean to maintain my left arm directly till it reaches the 9:00 placement on the back swing whereupon I will rotate my left lower arm 45 degrees to the right and back which will set the club in a parallel setting. 5 seconds and after that fire my hips". Regrettably there are several golfers attempting to play golf in this manner rather than with images. Verbalizing Helps Image Development I do not recognize why my buddy was in such a verbalizing mood yet I did not interfere. I allowed him remain to tell me as much regarding his strategies as he intended to. On the most difficult opening of the golf links, a 440 yard dogleg best the same level 4, playing uphill as well as into the wind, he envisioned a strategy that would certainly downplay the right side of the hole to minimize the size. On his 2nd shot he planned to progress the sphere as much up the fairway as possible right into a placement where he would certainly try to strike the green. In his mind he was attempting to figure our how to make a wonderful bogie. Now he began to talk about his inability to play wedge shots constantly. 4 internet 2. The driving location is tight. Today he chooses to change his technique to consist of a 3 timber off the tee which he understands will bring about a longer technique shot. Takes a hybrid club and hits a terrific shot that takes a tough bounce as well as winds up on the environment-friendly. He stated 2 putts for the same level as well as I stopped him again. Terrific Golf Is Played By Images The more my pal verbalized his strategies the far better his images were. He played wonderful and also I believe it was his individual ideal rating on that particular program. They spend hours chasing as well as trying to establish something that does not exist.

Tempus Fugit produces the first smartshow in history illustrates the most prominent features of the cities of the future, the long-awaited smart cities.
Current WALLS (MURS) are not physical, they are invisible. They can't be identified by nations, nor states, nor with people. Technology has distanced us from culture, has dehumanized us, has alienated us from pain. Any of us are, potential repressors and repressed. We are that from the moment we buy some sneakers-flaunting some luxury-that have been made from the exploitation of children in parts of the world that we can barely locate on a map. We are that from the moment that an official can kill people using guns that look like a harmless game.
The government, economy, mobility … In the cities of the future, called smart cities, it seems that everything is digitally controlled. As has often been done in previous shows, in M.U.R.S, La Fura theatrically explores the world of today. A world where new technologies change the way we live at a rapid pace. No wonder, then, that these technologies are the main protagonists of M.U.R.S, where, of course, there won't be a shortage of machines, video projections, and augmented reality. From this that, to conceive the show, members of La Fura have had the collaboration of academic institutions ranging from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Futurelab del Institut Ars Electronica de Linz (Austria) to the department of Open Systems of the Universitat de Barcelona and Universitat Rovira i Virgili, through the studio of TigreLab and Creativitat i Innovació de l'ICUB (Barcelona LAB).
