This program focuses on three key elements:
- Developing young leaders in environmental justice
- Building awareness and understanding of the natural environment
- Encouraging careers in the environmental sciences
With guidance from experienced professionals, students photodocument environmental issues in their neighborhoods and develop a vision for change. They then create a photovoice presentation to educate civic and government leaders and community members on the environmental concerns faced by their communities.
Participants in the youth program will also volunteer at local public parks to learn and practice skills that pertain to the conservation and preservation of Detroit's ecology. Such skills include data collection, species identification, as well as, gaining a familiarity with scientific terms and procedures. During the final weeks of the program, students explore local university programs in the environmental sciences, which will motivate tomorrow's leaders in fulfilling prosperous careers in the emerging green economy.
Youth chapters are established through local churches, elementary and secondary schools, neighborhood block clubs and civic organizations. By developing these chapters, we build a secure foundation for the successful transition of leadership to the next generation.

Not too long ago, Anne Smith, like most other teachers, used regular class periods to offer feedback and guidance to her students on their classwork. After she began using Google Apps for Education (GAfE), things began to change. Soon, students were seeking feedback from her after school hours. Initially, Smith, a high school English teacher in Centennial, Colorado, was surprised to be receiving messages about schoolwork from her students, but she quickly appreciated what the technology made possible.
"It is amazing to me to see students collaborating at night with one another – revising, writing, asking questions and even inviting their teacher in on the process," she said.
Every student in Smith's class has access to a Chromebooks, which they use to write, edit and reflect using Google Apps, which eliminates the need for paper. They can add multimedia elements – videos, audio, images, etc. – to their papers Cloud-based computing – the process of storing data on a remote, Internet-based server, providing access from any device and location – is wildly popular in the private sector and has been steadily making inroads into public schools. GAfE, in particular, is becoming more prevalent in education, especially since Google sold over 1 million Chromebooks to schools earlier in 2014. What's more, Google recently released a specific app called Google Classroom, which is its designed to help teachers better organize their classes.
Even as Smith and countless educators have found it an enormously valuable tool – a game changer even – some experts caution that the cloud computing comes with a quite a bit of baggage.
The fact that these programs are online makes them less secure than the standard paper and pencil teaching and schools transfer large quantities of student personal data including transcript information to third party providers. According to a 2014 study "School districts throughout the country are embracing the use of cloud computing services for important educational goals, but have not kept pace with appropriate safeguards for the personal data of school children," Joel Reidenberg, founding director of CLIP, said in a statement. "We believe there are critical actions that school districts and vendors must take to address the serious deficiencies in privacy protection."
Schools and educators are storing student data on these cloud companies' websites, instead of placing the information into file cabinets. Some companies also offer quizzes and homework that collect data from students. According to SafeGov.org, Google admitted that it did data mine student emails for ad-targeting purposes outside of school.
In Greater Clark County Schools (GCCS) in Indiana, teachers save and share lesson plans on the learning management system My Big Campus, Additionally, the district posts grades and attendance to PowerSchool – and parents can log in to view the information.
According to its web site, "PowerSchool is agile, easily managing student records, schedules, attendance, transcripts and much more." But there have been complaints about the tool's consistency, which is used Charlotte Observer reported, PowerSchool was, among other pitfalls, producing inaccurate student transcripts across the state.
While school districts can work to protect data through district-wide systems, other privacy challenges emerge over the use of web applications available to teachers and students accessible via a handheld device, which the district may not have as much control over.
GCCS Director of Technology Brett Clark says schools and districts must work to minimize the hazards over privacy, but the benefits of cloud computing are too great to ignore.
"You do everything you can to protect the privacy of students, but you also have to do what's best for your students," explains Clark. "It's the direction that not only education, but also where the business world is going."
And it can save money, potentially at least. Littleton Public Schools in Colorado started using Google Apps in 2010, issuing accounts to students in grades 4-12. LPS Chief Information Officer Mark Lindstone and Mike Porter, director of technology, cite savings from file servers to reduced labor to email licensing. Eliminating email licensing, for example, saves the districts thousands of dollars: LPS comprises 15,000 students and email licensing can cost between $2-$3 per person, according to Porter and Lindstone. State education officials in Oregon, the first state to adopt Google Apps for Education in all of their public schools, claim the move will save $1.5 million annually.
The transition to cloud-based learning can be a slow process, though, said Brett Boyles, who teaches at an alternative high school in Littleton. More experienced teachers are less likely to embrace technological advances, and even some students had trouble with it, Boyles said.
"Sometimes we assume that the younger generation welcomes change with open arms and that is not always the case," Boyles explains. "Sometimes comfort wins out over new and efficient."
"But cloud computing makes sense, as do web-based applications," he adds. "The very notion of purchasing software that has to be installed on machines is a 20th Century idea to me."

On this wee isle near Baltra Island, our hike began at the water's edge – but soon we were surrounded by lava rock. In every direction all you could see was the smooth waves of lava rock.
Since the island sloped down to the sea in a gentle gradient, it was easy to picture the lava coming out of a fissure, slowly coating the land with a new skin.
The rock was smooth and it was easy to spot how the lava had stopped flowing, and slowly cooled into the shape that was now visible below the feet.
As we hiked along the landscape, it was filled with nooks and crevices, long shelf areas and holes. From afar it looked like an endless black field, yet up close it was even more interesting thanks to the whims of the lava.
No animals lived on this island, but a few would come to its shores – mainly lizards and iguanas – and although there was almost no vegetation, in certain spots tiny plants had taken root:
The patterns and shapes were fascinating to me – like pieces of art – and told the story of how this island had come to be in recent decades and how it may grow bigger in the future, thanks to the activity found below the surface.
In the Galapagos Islands, some islands will appear, get bigger and some will disappear – all part of the planet's creativity.

Today was stressful for no one particular reason. Rather, it was a lot of little things stacking up like bricks in a wall. The last 'brick' was more like a pebble, placed jovially atop the rapidly crumbling structure by one of my unfortunate children, and the whole thing collapsed.
Yes, I lost my cool.
It happens from time to time. I almost didn't blog today because I was so out of sorts, but my daughter said that I should talk about my meltdown because, "It is such a rare occurrence."
I'm glad it's rare.
There was a time in my life when fits of anger would build inside me, and the only way to alleviate it was through yelling, since violence wasn't my thing. It took many years to break the yelling habit. After all, many women I respected assured me that they, too, yelled at their kids. It was 'normal.' But something about that never sat right with me. I knew I wanted something different. I didn't want to pass on the yelling gene to my own kids. Or heaven forbid, to watch my theoretical grandchildren become yellers.
This morning, I didn't exactly yell–it was more of a verbal pounce, but in our sensitive house, it was the same as full-lunged bellowing. Afterwards I felt so badly, I went to my study to 'be alone,' which means praying and leaving a little puddle of tears on the floor.
Normally, I handle stress through running (which is also my time of prayer and contemplation) and proper nutrition. But lately I've been lacking both sunshine and sufficient exercise. And let's face it–it's hard, if not downright impossible to feel happy eating salad when it's cold and dark outside! I'd rather cozy up with some gluten-free croissants drizzled with Nutella.
It is hard for me when there is no sunshine, and the puppy, cute as he is, pees on the brand-new rug after I've been outside with him for an hour.
I know there are worse things in life, and that the puppy IS a little glimpse of heaven; but even small doses of stress are toxic, and if you let stress build up, it can lead to a meltdown of nuclear proportions.
After "Mommy's Time-Out" today, I emerged from my study to find a pink card on my pillow, a loving email from a concerned teen, and a pint of my favorite ice cream, wrapped up with a bow, sitting right outside my door. Sure, one of my kids was completely oblivious to the whole thing, but that's okay too. My kids are so loving and so forgiving that I think they came through it unscathed.
In fact, it might be good for them to see me fail once in a while and for them to see me make amends when I'm wrong.
Sometimes we stumble.
The key is to get up and look ahead.
Because you can't see clearly from under the rock pile.

The growth of Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley is the best-known example of an innovation ecosystem with the world's greatest concentration of entrepreneurs and investors. How did it start and what can other cities and regions learn from it? The development of Silicon Valley was certainly not an overnight sensation - it has at least a 100 year start on any city or region with ambitions of being the 'Next Silicon Valley'.
The establishment of Stanford University in 1891 was one the first 'seeds' planted in the Silicon Valley ecosystem. The University saw itself as part of the development of the West and its staff encouraged faculty and students to start their own businesses.
In the late 1930s, two electrical engineering graduates named Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started an electronics business out of a garage in Pala Alto, planting a seed that would grow into a giant technology tree and spawn many other businesses.
Stanford benefited from massive government defence research spending during the Second World War and this helped to build its reputation in electronics. Fred Truman was a key individual in this research and as the Cold War began he was a key advocate for the development of the Stanford Industrial Park which famously housed early tech pioneers like Lockheed, Fairchild, Xerox and General Electric.
William Shockley, a Nobel-prize winning physicist at Stanford, was another 'sower of seeds'. He was a brilliant but erratic scientist and his behaviour encouraged eight of his key researchers - dubbed the Traitorous Eight - left to pursue their interest in silicon-based semiconductors. They went on to establish 65 new enterprises in 20 years, each in turn seeding generations of new ventures. One of the self-styled 'treacherous eight' went on to found a venture capital firm that invested in Intel and Apple.
The history of Silicon Valley shows that each business can grow and seed successive generations of businesses. It emphasises the importance of key institutions such as Stanford and key people – not just the entrepreneurs but also the people who encourage, mentor or even irritate others so much that they leave to do their own thing, plant their own seeds, grow their own businesses.

7 Essential Accessories Every Woman Should Have
accessories every woman should have? Sometimes it's hard to know which accessories are necessary, which is why I decided to compile a list of accessories we, as women, should definitely have. Some of them are staples and other accessories help make our lives much easier. Moreover, accessories are a great way to finish off any outfit.
1. Pearl earrings are a classic accessory that is always appropriate no matter your age. These outfit.earrings don't necessarily have to be authentic pearl earrings; you can choose imitation pearl earrings. You can wear them for the most formal occasions such as cocktail parties or job interviews. Moreover, you can wear them during the daytime to add a swanky detail to your casual
2. Sunglasses I think every woman should have a pair of trendy sunglasses. If you are a real fashionista, you know sunglasses can be worn year-round, You can pair them with your leather jacket and some boots. This way, you will look fashionable
3. Everyone needs a good watch, whether it is for time telling or just for show! A watch is an amazing accessory and is great to wear with bangles or alone. If you wear it with other wrist jewelry, make sure that the tone of your accessories matches the tone from your watch. Never mix silver bangles with a gold watch
4. Daytime purse. A daytime, or casual, purse is one of the most important accessories every woman should have.You can take this purse to work with you daily, stuff your spare clothes or lunch in. The perfect daytime purse should be roomy in the inside, and should come with both a detachable long strap and short handles. It also should be slouchy so you can fit essential things such as an umbrella or shoes inside.
5. Wristlet is a perfect accessory for those nights out on the town with your friends. Instead of carrying a huge purse, opt for a wristlet! Wristlet is portable, convenient, and pretty affordable! Moreover, most wristlets are made big enough to carry the essential things like your lipstick, cell phone, keys, cash and cards.
6. Flats because they are as comfortable as sneakers and they can even be as "dressy" as those heels. Quality flats are a must for every woman. They can make or break any outfit, and they are really affordable so it's quite possible to have several casual flats for the daytime and a couple of dressy flats for the evening.
7. Phone case with a screen protector: most phones are fragile and prone to breaking these days. To protect your 'best friend', you should certainly buy a phone case. It's better to buy a phone case with a screen protector. You can purchase it individually or together. After all, it's in your interest to keep your phone in the best condition, especially if you plan to sell your phone in the future.

Nov 29 (Reuters) - GameStop Corp cut its full-year adjusted profit forecast on Thursday, as the world's largest video game and gaming console retailer expects higher hardware sales and continued pre-owned category weakness, sending shares down 13.8 percent.
The company, which is exploring a potential transaction after receiving buyout interest, last week said it would sell its Spring Mobile business to Prime Communications LP for $700 million.
"We are evaluating all aspects of our business, including our store and omni-channel experience, cost structure, strategic and economic partnerships ...," Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Rob Lloyd said on Thursday.
The company said it now expects full-year adjusted profit to range between $2.55 and $2.75 per share, down from $3.00 to $3.35 earlier.
Sales of the company's pre-owned products fell 13.4 percent to $396.9 million in the third quarter, while its technology brands business also reported about 12 percent drop to $171.1 million.
Sales in the company's hardware business rose 12.8 percent to $349 million, while sales in its video game retail business rose about 11 percent to $720.7 million.
The growth was mostly driven by higher demand for Xbox One X and Sony PS4 and big game launches by Activision Blizzard Inc and Take Two Interactive Software Inc such as "Call of Duty: Black Ops 4" and the much-awaited "Red Dead Redemption 2".
The company reported a net loss of $488.6 million, or $4.78 per share, in the three months ended Nov.3, compared with a year-ago profit of $59.4 million, or 59 cents per share.
GameStop recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $557.3 million.
Net sales rose to $2.08 billion from $1.99 billion.
Excluding items, GameStop earned 67 cents per share.
Analysts on average had expected a profit of 57 cents per share and revenue of $2.03 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. (Reporting by Arjun Panchadar and Laharee Chatterjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila)

Years later and with his father now in prison, Clayton struggles to overcome his past. In a city where every day there is a constant threat of violence and death, he keeps his sanity by channelling his aggression into boxing, the one part of his life where he feels powerful, in control, contained.
However, when the violence that surrounds him starts to destroy his own family, Clayton's inner darkness is unleashed. And now, to gain vengeance against those who have taken his loved ones, he must ask the one man he fears the most for help: his father.

Below are 10 Tips for Living with Misophonia. These are our top 10. Yours may be different:
- Accept the disorder is real. Quit thinking your loved one(s) are just being rude, spoiled or obnoxious.
- Write down a list of triggers together. If you are just getting acquainted with the fact your loved one(s) has misophonia, knowing the triggers are very IMPORTANT!
- Avoid known triggers at all costs. Memorize them if necessary.
- Don't pressure your loved one(s) to attend social functions. Social interaction is especially annoying with all kinds of sounds and noises.
- Be aware that your misophone is hearing repeated noises that you may hear but ignore. They cannot ignore the noise!
- If you notice someone triggering your loved one, ask them "Have you met Miso?" You can introduce people to the disorder without embarrassing anyone using this lead-in. Most people are interested in knowing more about misophonia.
- You are not a failure if you commit a trigger sending your misophone into orbit. Over time, you will learn to never trigger them. Their disorder will become secondhand to you, almost like you have the disorder yourself.
- Consider misophonia while grocery shopping. Leave the crunchy, slurpy, noisy food on the shelf.
- Hang in there. I have noticed my husband's miso has gotten better with age. He can control it better. He also gives us a hint if we are triggering him. He simply says "miso, miso, miso". We know to stop, inventory what we're doing related to repetitive sound and quit doing it.
- Keep calm and remember "It's not you, it's them!". Living with someone with misophonia can be hurtful at times for either or both parties. True compassion is your best weapon against the noise monsters.
The Happy Handicap

From staff reports
Visitors to Ohio University's homepage will experience OHIO's digital front door in a new way beginning Wednesday, Sept. 27, with the introduction of a large video featured prominently on the website, www.ohio.edu.
The video spot, which can take the place of a static or rotating set of images, is a dynamic way to showcase what's happening at OHIO – from the latest faculty research and student learning in and out of the classroom to campus beauty and vibrant student life.
"I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the members of the Office of Information Technology and University Communications and Marketing who helped make this a reality," said Chief Marketing Officer Renea Morris. "Recognizing the importance of OHIO's website as a marketing tool to prospective students, their influencers and other important stakeholders, recent research shows that video gives a sense of the institution and has broad appeal that will make an impact. I believe the new video feature on the homepage will serve as an important gateway to showing the world everything that's special about OHIO."
To keep this tool dynamic and fresh, University Communications and Marketing will update the video regularly to reflect seasons, campaigns, and special events. It is also important to note that in the event of an emergency or major announcement that would need to be featured prominently on the home page, the video can easily be replaced by a static image. Any updates performed on the Alerts Page (www.ohio.edu/alert) would still function as they do currently.

Obama 2012/
My name is Kendra.I live in the belt buckle of the Bible Belt. I am an evangelical Christian mother of two. I am voting to reelect President Obama on November 6, 2012.
*** This is not a post about my reasons for voting on the Democratic ticket. This is about my cherished freedom as a woman to exercise my voting right. This is about my love of a country where my second generation parents have succeeded and my immigrant in-laws came to operate their own business while still observing sabbath. This is about my excitement as a campaign volunteer.
Today I phonebanked for the Obama campaign. It was inspiring. There were just a few volunteers at Tennessee headquarters. I used my Google Voice phone to call battleground state voters and I had some pleasant exchanges with my fellow Americans--many of whom were not planning to vote for Obama.
The other night I watched the DNC Convention from the same place. There were black faces, white faces, old, young, middle-aged. There were students and professors and professionals and nurse anesthetists :) We whooped and clapped and some people invoked the name of Divinity in response to the high notes of speeches delivered live from Charlotte, NC.
My experience as a volunteer for a highly divisive campaign has been heartwarming. It has reflected the best of what I believe a two-party system can achieve on its best days. I was inspired to think warmly today about a country that I already love. Sometimes I don't like America, but I will always love this great nation.
Whomever you are planning to support in this election, I hope you are registered to vote and will get involved in the campaign. I expect you will not regret it!

The University of Mary Washington indoor track and field teams competed at the VMI Winter Relays this weekend, with several impressive results.
Senior Ripken Smith was the top Division III finisher in placing fourth in the weight throw, at 15.82 meters, and Victoria Chanthayasak-White finished fifth in the high jump as the top Division III finisher at four feet, 11 inches. On the men's side in the long jump, sophomore Rajai Walton took third overall and first among Division III jumpers at 22 feet, 6.5 inches. David Danek and Ben Onguene took fourth and fifth in the high jump as the top two Division III leapers at six feet, 2.25 inches.
The Eagles will return to action on Friday and Saturday as they compete at the Capital Athletic Conference Indoor Championships in Newport News, Va.

Last week was 10-6, so I'm 126-82 on the year heading into Thursday. After starting out so slow, I'm actually pleased with it, even though I trail all but 4 of the ESPN Experts.
I'm hoping the Bears will rebound with a win in the cold. It's been a long time since we've seen an outdoor game at Minnesota, which is too bad. I have great memories of watching games played outdoors there, all from the comfort of my home.
I expect to do worse these final 3 weeks, as the teams eliminated will play their back-ups in an effort to gain them experience and see how well they will perform, and the teams secure in the playoffs will play their back-ups to rest their starters. So who knows what will happen?
I must think that I do...or I wouldn't even attempt these posts.
Difficult picks this week, a lot of toss up games.
By the way, don't you think the 49ers-Chargers game Thursday was the most visually appealing game of the year? Great uniforms. The only thing that could have made these teams look better is if it had been played in snow. Go here for photos if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Kansas City.
Tampa Bay.
New England.

Paul Bettany's bare bottom isn't my favourite thing about A Knight's Tale, but it's certainly a highlight.
That film is a very entertaining mini-masterclass in marketing – plus it's full of Heath Ledger, Alan Tudyk, and Mark Addy, all of whom are brilliant.
The story, in a nutshell, is this: peasant always wanted to be a knight and go jousting and whatnot in tournaments, but to become a knight, you have to be of noble birth. His master, Sir Hector, dies while doing a poo behind a tree – so William takes his place. In his armour, you can't tell who he is.
Then he becomes Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein and starts winning tournaments.
But the real genius behind Sir Ulrich's brand – because make no mistake, that's what it is – is Paul Bettany's Geoffrey Chaucer. He's a writer and general scoundrel with a gambling problem… who becomes William's (Heath Ledger) herald.
Now, a herald's job was, in effect, a salesman. He was like those crazy wrestling announcers, the ones who whip the crowd up into a screaming frenzy for a particular performer. Same with the herald.
Only Geoff Chaucer did something different.
He didn't just announce a boring stream of lineage like the rest of them; oh no.
He went utterly over the top, telling far-fetched romantic tales of what Sir Ulrich had got up to overseas, of the maidens he'd rescued, and the spiritual journeys and adventures he'd undertaken. He was himself times 10, because that's who this character was: larger than life, and a great storyteller.
Chaucer sold William to the crowds and he became famous. People turned up just to see him. He had fans. Raving, loyal fans.
And the funny thing? His arch-rival's herald spotted what Chaucer was doing and attempted to copy him.
But he was just a pale imitation of Geoff.
That's what happens, you see. If you are great at what you do, if you're utterly yourself, and you give it your all, you will stand out from the crowds. And then you'll find people will copy you.
That's not a bad thing for you, by the way; it's flattering. But it is bad for the copycats, because they're not being themselves.
Took me a while to figure that one out, because being yourself is a scary proposition. After all, if you put yourself out there naked, people might see you! (Metaphorically naked, not actually naked.)
Go forth and be naked. And if it seems a little scary to be naked on your own, come and join my merry band of Business For Superheroes readers and we'll all be naked together. (Again, metaphorically speaking, not actually naked. That would be weird.)
Vicky Fraser is a copywriter, author, and entrepreneur. She really did run away with the circus… but when she's not swinging from a trapeze, she's showing other copywriters and small business owners how to work with better clients, make more money, and stop missing bathtimes, first words, and dinners with angry partners. In fact, she wrote the book on it. Get your copy here.
PS The other reason I love A Knight's Tale is the fusion of medieval tales and modern music and culture. Plus it's funny as.

Ruling could block future NYRIs
A lawsuit filed in 2007 by the local organization Communities Against Regional Interconnects (CARI), along with other groups from across the nation, has now taken down the federal law that once gave NYRI a fighting chance.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled Tuesday the U.S. Department of Energy had wrongly created "corridors" in which the federal government could trump state law on power-line siting. There were several such corridors designated across the nation.
The court said the Department of Energy did not properly consult the states where the corridors would be located and failed to do environmental reviews of the corridors.It's one thing to regulate interstate commerce. It's quite another to force it to take place in one's backyard. . . . But isn't the 9th Circuit the one that is most often reversed?
Changes to Map of Oneida Nation reservation reversed
Changes to the U.S. Census maps that increased the Oneida Indian Nation's reservation from 32 acres to more than 300,000 acres have been reversed, the U.S. Census Bureau confirmed Thursday. . . .
It turned out that in a routine Census map updating process in 2010, the Nation had requested that the boundaries of its reservation be redrawn to show the full extent of its original reservation, which was established in 1794.While the Oneidas may be outraged that the map change has been reversed, most of the public was outraged when the change was surreptitiously made . . . and now we find out at the Nation's mere request. These things impact people. If changes should be made, the process for making them should be transparent.

Spin-off shows are a strange beast. Attempting to ride the wave of what once made an existing programme so popular while simultaneously striving to put their own spin on proceedings, the writing and production staff responsible have an incredibly tough juggling act to maintain.
And it shows. For every Frasier or The Colbert Report that strides triumphantly out from the shadow of its cherished big brother, there are countless others in the mould of Joey, Baywatch Nights or *shivers* Sesame Tree. Done right, the spin-off show can be spectaular — but it's rare to come across an example that finds a truly original voice rather than simply going through the motions to cynically cash in on the name of an old favourite.
Whatever your view on the quality of the shows, the unstoppable juggernaut that is the CSI franchise shows that spin-offs are an entirely viable proposition if the demand is there, so we think it's high time we saw some new TV shows featuring favourite characters from existing shows.
We wanted to make a 'One and a Half Men' gag here, featuring Bronn and 'The Imp' Tyrion Lannister from HBO's Game of Thrones — but it turns out somebody's only gone and done it already, in a much, much more inventive way than we would have done:
So, with our best idea down the toilet, we'll have to make do with a bunch of ideas cobbled together loosely around some horrible pun-based titles. Like these:
Dutch Courage
The Shield's Holland 'Dutch' Wagenbach is shot in the line of duty when protecting an informant from his former Los Mags associates. Forced to take early retirment, Dutch Boy is awarded some kind of bravery medal or something so as to justify the show's title. Finding life without a badge hard to come to terms with, Wagenbach sets up as a private investigator and for convoluted reasons is forced to take on Steve Billings — he of the patented 'Billings Bare Minimum' work ethic — as his partner. Odd Couple-style hilarity inevitably ensues. Think Midnight Run but with more cat strangulation.
Walnuts In May
Former Soprano family captain Paulie Walnuts (real name Peter Paul Gualtieri) is diagnosed with dangerously high blood pressure, which his doctor advises is likely linked to the stresses of mob life. The prescription? A relaxing summer of care-free living in the form of an extended camping holiday away from the cut and thrust of organised crime. But when a series of ruffians pitch up next to his tent and proceed to transform the peaceful retreat into a rowdy party zone, it's only a matter of time before Paulie reaches for the concrete boots.
Beaten To The Bunch
Animated farce following the adventures of Mr Bananagrabber, the lisping cartoon mascot dreamed up by Arrested Development's G.O.B. Bluth to promote the family's frozen banana stand. With his best banana-grabbing days way behind him, Mr B finds himself frequently outwitted by a younger, fitter fruit pilferer by the name of Phillip J. Yellowskin — but he's got a plan to take him down once and for all. Okay, so it's not particularly high concept but that's a pretty good title, no? COME ON!
Saul In A Day's Work
Filmed in a mockumentary style, this light-hearted drama follows Breaking Bad's morally bankrupt attorney Saul Goodman and the cases he takes on when he's not saving Walter White's skin. The pilot episode features cameos from Badger and Skinny Pete, as well as that massive security guard from the opening episode of Season 4. You know, the one that's built like a wall (an incredibly overweight wall, granted) and breathes louder than any regular person speaks. Essentially, anything with Bob Odenkirk in it is automatically better than 95% of the guff pumped through our TV screens so this is an automatic winner.
Banned Meeting
With Bret and Jemaine deported and the Crazy Dogggz outed as song stealers, Flight of the Conchords' former manager Murray Hewitt sets out to find his next hit act. But when his strict new supervisor puts a stop to the auditions being held in Murray's office at the New Zealand consulate, old Ginger Balls decides it's time to leave the comfort of his desk job and set up his dream business: Murray's Interesting Building Tours. You know, band rotundas — that kind of thing.

Among the highlights are included: song and dance, one-on-one talks, model info and sneak peeks.
Watch the Photo Gallery of All Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014 Models.
Victoria's Secret is a lingerie and bedroom fantasy wear store that is famous the world over. This was the first time that the show was held across the Atlantic in England. Mostly it is held in the United States of America. The whole thing began in the nifty nineties. Each year more than three dozen models from the world over attend the event and strut their stuff in front of the cameras. The models wear wings which range from small butterfly-sized ones to giant-sized fur wings.

The famous supermodels in the past that came on board the show include: Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Laetitia Casta. Throughout the Noughties the show continued to air on television and got so many hot and bothered underneath the collar. The sexual heat generated by the svelte figures was such that it titillated and tantalized everybody who saw them swish and sway their bottoms on the ramp.

A British fashion model, Jourdan Dunn was the face for Maybelline and reportedly earns $4 million per year which is a lot indeed. She appeared on the runway wearing a bright red bikini along with a mini pink jersey and green tasseled skirt. She had colorful bobbles around her neck.
Jourdan also wore a diaphanous pair of light pink wings and silver corset with white bra for the show.
At the after party event, she wore a black and white square patterned dress that looked charming on her.
She also posted an Instagram pic of herself mock whipping Cara Delevingne for not coming to the show. It was all in good humor of course.

Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner were absent from the show this year. Meanwhile, the Victoria's Secret girls after landing in London visited stores instead of wiping away their jet lag via some catnaps. They all looked very sexy in skintight jeans. They also got the full camaraderie and bucking up from Taylor Swift.
Among the list of ensembles that got worn may be included: gilded angel, exotic traveler, fairy tale, dream girl, university of pink and angel ball. Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande performed to the best of their abilities.

The sexiest TV Show on American TV will air on December 9 on CBS at 10/9c.
Be on the lookout for the televised section of the event coming to your locality. You will miss it at your peril!

Travel and tourism are not new to humans. Everyone knows it and also knows how big the entire industry is. Travel and tourism can be defined in various forms depending on the perspective of various parts of society. For example, if we talk about a tourist's point of view then it can be called a practice of traveling for pleasure and pleasure, on the other hand if we speak from the point of view of people involved in this business then travel and tourism will be considered as businesses that provide tours & services to tourists.
Travel and tourism are often used interchangeably because both have similar meanings. Over the past few decades, this industry has experienced an increase in the market. There are several reasons for this development, one of which is a better economic condition of the community. Technological developments such as transportation and other fields have also contributed to the development of this industry.
Travel and tourism have grown as large business industries in almost all parts of the world but as far as India is concerned the country has seen major changes in recent years in this regard. India has always been one of the travel destinations that most people want to explore. People not only from inside countries but also from abroad are always very fond of India and its travel attractions.
India has a rich cultural heritage that has always been a major tourist attraction for people abroad. There are some very beautiful places to visit in India such as Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Goa, himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Kerala, and many more. There are several tourist attractions such as historical monuments, nature tours, wildlife, hill stations, beaches, and much more to explore.
As far as the type of tourism in India is concerned, there are several available. Given below are a few examples:
o Adventure tours
o Wildlife tourism
o Medical tourism
o Pilgrimage tour
o Eco tourism
o Cultural tourism
All types of tourism have marked great growth in the past few decades. Now the Indian Government is also paying extreme attention in this direction and is trying to develop India as one of the most explored travel destinations.
There are several sources available now that help people know about the best tourist destinations not only in India but also in all other parts of the world. There are lots of travel websites that are ready to help tourists and there are also various other things such as travel publications and others to help people. People can seek help from all these sources and then there are others like travel agents who are also very useful.
All these sources together help people get the best deals because they also offer a variety of attractive packages and people can choose from them according to their choice & convenience. What needs to be done is to be aware of all possible sources and personal needs & affordability.

RAGE – the uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger that move us to act against others.
Read Genesis 4:1-16
The message of this ancient story is quite plain.
How often does your face fall [v 6] because you are angry with someone?
Anger is a powerful motivator. Once it taints a relationship, it is almost impossible to get rid of. Sometimes it drives us away from people, but more often, we try to bury it and pretend like it isn't there. And then it explodes; and as in any explosion, those closest to us get caught in the path of destruction.
God, I am sorry for catching those closest to me in the path of destruction of my anger. I repent of hurting them; and I pray for the strength to go to them and seek their forgiveness.

31 Attributes of God, Day 16: He Is Omnipotent/
Welcome to Day 16 of our 31 Attributes of God series! If you missed a day, you can find all of our posts right here. Be sure to grab the accompanying free printable here (no email address required!) and join us for today's study!
Of all the attributes of God (which I now know are too many to easily list!), the three I remember from childhood are His Omnipotence, His Omnipresence, and His Omniscience (spoiler alert - we'll be discussing these over the next three days). And while I remember the attributes themselves, I'm still fuzzy on their individual meanings.
So I headed over to the online dictionary, one of my favorite Bible study tools, and typed in Omnipotence. I love how that word is defined: unlimited power; able to do anything. Don't those phrases adequately describe our Heavenly Father?
Here's what the Bible has to say about God's omnipotence:
Job 11:7-9 - "Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than heaven— what can you do? Deeper than Sheol— what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea" (NKJV).
Job 37:23 - "As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, in judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress" (NKJV).
Jeremiah 32:17 - "Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You" (NKJV).
The Lord's omnipotence is one of those attributes that isn't expressly stated in Scripture but is clearly explained, as in the above verses. He definitely is capable of all things, including saving sinners, and isn't limited in any way. He is truly omnipotent.
I love serving a God who is capable of anything and everything. I can have full confidence in His ability to accomplish His sovereign will no matter what. There is tremendous comfort in knowing that His omnipotence is part of who He is!
Today's Assignment: Describe God's omnipotence in your own words. How does knowing that His power is limitless help you in your Christian walk?

It can be so easy to get tangled up in my petty miseries that I forget to appreciate these "dull and boring" average days. Days when nothing really goes wrong, I feel pretty good and things just move forward. Nothing amazing happens but nothing horrible either. According to Lao Tsu, these middle average days are the days we should strive for. A balance between good (days) and bad (days), or simply put a balance between extremes. Being a Libra, this aspect of balance appeals greatly to me. Dis-ease is often the result of the body, mind or soul being out of balance. If I can find a way to find "ease" in my daily life, then maybe the dis-ease will melt away. I'm not saying that serious illnesses should be ignored. Of course one should always seek medical help in that case. I am talking about the dis-ease we often feel when we are out of balance, and we all really know when we personally are out of balance, right?
So I'm thinking a good weekend project might be to take some time today, or during the weekend, to do one small thing to put myself a bit more in balance. Want to join me? I'm thinking of finishing a few projects and a bit of clutter cleaning around the house. Oh, and of course to get out in nature. I may even make a big pot of soup this weekend. What will you do?
At Millesgården in Stockholm... searching for balance... :-)

German government bonds are behaving unusually: They're falling.
For months, so-called Bunds TMBMKDE-10Y, +1.21% have been on a one-way street in a relentless rally. But on Wednesday they took a hit, sending yields—which fall as bond prices rise—back up to levels last seen over a month ago.
The drop comes after former Pimco Chief Bill Gross described Bunds as a "short of a lifetime." Others have also started hinting that the lofty price levels could soon present compelling opportunities to short Bunds in a big way—or sell them to later buy them back cheaper. But most investors say the pullback is a natural follow-up to such a rapid climb, and nothing more than a speed bump in what is likely to be years of strength.
An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com


text:
The report was prepared by the KUMQUAT consulting company based on the request of the Open Society Institute of European Policy. The report based on surveys can be found here.
An interesting however not too surprizing point is that the list includes the MEPs who hold a biased position on Azerbaijan and regularly criticize the country.
Ulrike Lunacek, cooperating with the SOROS Foundation and the first self-declared Austrian homosexual politician, joined the session of the structure in a shirt with the images of Azerbaijani human rights activists. The real patron of the step becomes known. Representative and active defender of sexual minorities Lunacek is an active participant and often an initiator of all anti-Azerbaijani games in the European Parliament
Eleni Theocharous and Frank Engel who also visited the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and were therefore included in the "List of Undesirable Persons" are among those who benefit from cooperation with the SOROS Foundation. The Foundation, which is responsible for financing the visit, is also the driving force behind the biased smeary campaign against Azerbaijan.
Another underling of the SOROS Foundation, Kati Piri from the Netherlands admitted that she visited Armenia and worked closely with Armenian parties while serving at the Multi-Party Dutch Institute for Democracy. Fulfilling the order of her patrons, the forerunner of the pro-Armenian coalition, Kati Piri differed for her special enthusiasm during the black PR campaign against the First European Games.
The list also includes Andrei Kovatchev, Charles Tannock, Petras Austrevicius, Johannes Cornelis van Baalen, Ana Gomez, Maritje Shaake, who are the underlings of the SOROS Foundation and are naturally engaged in anti-Azerbaijani activities.
