New Life is the second part of the "For Kuroko " series.
Kagami past the week-end with Kuroko, Kuroko tell Kise about him and Kagami.
Friday came and Kagami was at Kuroko door wondering if he should just go in or ring the doorbell. He decide to go for the second option. It wasn't his home, yet. After pressing the doorbell, Kagami wait a little bit before hearing footstep on the other side of the door.
Kuroko open the door at smile at him
"You know you can just come in, you don't have to press the doorbell" said the young man taking his boyfriend jacket
"I wasn't sure"
"Bakagami, soon this will also be your home too"
"My home too…" Kagami like the idea, he also like his apartment, but the idea of living with his boyfriend made him happy.
"Give me your bag, I will bring it to the room"
"Tetsu…ya, just tell me where the room is, I can bring it myself"
Kuroko smile at the way Kagami was saying his name
"Guess I will have to make thing easier for you" he said to the taller man, before the latter take the direction of the room
"Which is?"
"Tai…if you want to call me Tetsu…you can" he said blushing
Kagami dropped his bag on the floor and walk toward Kuroko before taking him by the waist and closing the gap between their lips.
"Make thing more easier for me" hummed Kagami " start by stopping being adorable like that, maybe it will be easier to contain myself" he added kissing his boyfriend
During that second kiss, Kuroko felt Kagami tongue passing his lips, feeling the tongue of someone else in his mouth wasn't new to him, but it has been a while and kind of miss that feeling.
When they broke they kiss to breathe some air, Kagami smile and walk toward the room on the second floor to put his bag.
When he came back downstairs, he found Kuroko busy in the kitchen preparing their diner.
"What are you making" asked Kagami placing his arm around Kuroko waist, looking over his shoulder
"You will see when it will be in your plate" simply said Kuroko without looking at him
"Haha, can't wait cause it's smell really good" said Kagami kissing Kuroko temple before stepping back
He walked to the living room where he sat on the couch and played with Nigou while watching the TV. Once the diner was ready, Kuroko called him to dress the table.
After diner, they got out of the house to take a walk with Nigou and then comeback to cuddle on the couch.
Soon the time to go to bed come and Kuroko asked Kagami if he wanted to take his shower with him. The tall man agreed as long as he kept his hand away from little Kagami, the red-haired was thinking it was too soon for them to do more than just kissing. He really wanted to take his time with Kuroko, he didn't want to rush anything at least wait until everyone knew it. Kuroko was also okay with that.
After their shower, they were ready to go to bed, Kuroko was maybe not working on the Saturday, but Kagami was the coach of a basketball club and he needed to get up early., they cuddled in the bed and Kuroko fell asleep in Kagami arm.
The next day, Kagami left for the school after eating breakfast with Kuroko, before leaving the house he told his boyfriend he should be back around 3pm and give him a quick kiss.
Kuroko watch Kagami walk to his car and wait he was gone before going back in the house. Now Kagami was gone to work, he didn't knew what to do. He looked at the time and wondered if Kise was awake at this time. He knew he had to tell the golden-haired young man first about him and Kagami, since he didn't knew the reaction he would have.
Kuroko wait the mark of 9am before calling his friend hoping he would already be up.
"Kurokocchi!!" happily said Kise over the phone
"Kise-kun, you are already awake?"
"I just get up, just in time to get Kurokocchi call"
"Yes…Kise-kun, I was wondering if you had anything planned today?"
"No, free all day"
"Okay, then can you pass to my house?"
"Of course" quickly replied Kise happy to go see his friend "Is there anything wrong?"
"No really" trailed off Kuroko "I just need to discuss something with you" he added
"Okie dokie! gonna be there soon"
"I'm waiting for you then" said Kuroko before hanging up.
After his call with Kise he stared at his phone, wondering if he should text Kagami about Kise coming over. He knew his boyfriend might be hurt if he doesn't tell him, thus he text him and tell him to do worry, he would be able to handle Kise alone. Not long before Kise arrive, Kagami text him back to tell him to call if there was anything. Of course he would had rather be there, but maybe it was better that he is absent, at least for Kise.
Kise arrived around 10am and Kuroko greeted him as usual. Kise was like always overly happy to see his friend and apologize for his lack of presence. He had a lot of contracts lately. Kuroko assured him to not worry about that while sitting on the couch.
"What you wanna talk about Kurokocchi?" asked Kise looking at his friend
"Kise-kun…I really don't know how to tell you this" trailed Kuroko who was clearly looking for his word. He knew he had to be careful about how he will announced it to Kise.
"Is it something important?" asked Kise realizing Kuroko had difficulty to find his word
"Yes it is"
"Something personal? Like the kind influence your life?"
"Yes, it's really personal"
"Are you the only one concern?"
Kuroko was kind of happy to see Kise asking question, question he can answer with all honesty. It was easier that way instead of him struggling to find a way to tell Kise he was dating Kagami.
"Do I know that other person?"
"Are-we friend?"
"Hmmm Kagami?" asked Kise who began to understand
"Yes, Kagami is concern"
"You guys…started dating right?"
"Yes…we started.." simply said Kuroko
"When?" wanted to know Kise
"Last Monday"
"So it's recent, it's not something you hide from me for months"
"I would never do that, Kise-kun, not to you"
"Who else know?"
"Momoi-san and Takao-kun, but that's because Takao figure it out"
"So I'm really the first person to whom you tell it?"
"Kise-kun…yes I wanted to tell you first, I mean I'm closer to you than anyone, I thoughts it would be normally that I tell you first"
"Kurokocchi…, you were also worried by my reaction right?"
"Yes, I was"
"You know, when you and Aominecchi started to date, I was shocked and a bit jealous, but I got over that, you were in love and I couldn't do anything about it. After Aominecchi's death, when Kagamicchi came back, I…somehow knew it will happen. Kagamicchi always loved you I feel like Aominecchi would be happy to see you with him, and I want to see you happy too. So if you are happy with Kagamicchi, I'm happy too."
Kise reasoning was really similar to Kagami, Kuroko feeling blessed to have such an understanding friend like Kise.
"Yes, Kise-kun, I'm happy with Taiga"
"So there is no problem, as I said, I got the feeling you two might start dating"
Kuroko look at Kise and smile
"Thank you…Kise-kun"
"But hey, if he is mean with you make sure to let me know, I will take care of him" said Kise with a smile
Both friend continue talking until the afternoon, then Kise had to leave for a meeting concerning is next model contract.
Not long after Kise had left, Kagami arrive with some grocery, the red-haired young man wanted to cook for them tonight and Kuroko didn't had the heart to tell him no.
During the diner Kuroko talk about how it goes with Kise and tell Kagami that when he will announced the news to the other he wanted him to be there. Kagami agreed secretly hoping not being killed by Akashi with scissor.
They got to bed after long hours of cuddling on the couch. Kagami wasn't working the next day so they could take their time.
Before falling asleep, Kuroko thought about how he will tell the other, hoping it would be as easy as it was with Kise.

17 July unites all those who wish to support justice, promote victims' rights, and help prevent crimes that threaten the peace, security and well-being of the world. "We shall never forget atrocities from the past but rather keep them as part of our collective human memory and determination to prevent future conflicts and genocides. That is why the EU contributes each year to the promotion of international criminal justice," stated EU High Representative Federica Mogherini on behalf of the EU, on the occasion of International Criminal Justice Day.
Active engagement of youth in sustainable development efforts is key to achieving sustainable, inclusive and stable societies and to preventing challenges to sustainable development, including climate change, unemployment, poverty, gender inequality, conflict, and migration. However, truth be told, young people are almost three times more likely to be unemployed than adults and continuously exposed to lower quality of jobs, inequalities, and longer school-to-work transitions.

What's DNS hijacking?
DNS hijacking is the act of an ISP redirecting resolution of hostnames to other servers, usually for advertising purposes. The use of DNS hijacking hurts Tor exit-relay quality. Tor attempts to detect and compensate, however it is not always possible. The best solution is to disable the hijacking or switch to a different Public DNS resolver, or use your own DNS server.
Table of Contents
Some ISPs and DNS providers let you disable DNS hijacking. Below is a list of such ISPs:
Encrypted, authenticated DNS ideas (ISPs cannot intercept):
Setup your own DNS server
- BIND? for Linux.
- Use your own DNSSEC supported DNS server or resolver, or, use trustworthy external DNSSEC supported recursive/caching DNS Server. Few DNSSEC supported DNS Server software are: BIND, Unbound, GbDns, etc.
Public DNS (resolver) servers
If opting out is not feasible, there are public DNS servers you can use for free. Below follows some services and IP addresses:
Level 3 / GTEI (Now owned by VERIZON)
- 184.108.40.206
- 220.127.116.11
- 22.214.171.124
- 188.8.131.52
- 22.214.171.124
- 126.96.36.199
ISSUES: Verizon publicly known for manipulating, filtering, redirecting DNS answers.
- List of servers
- Find DNS server from OpenNIC site, which has disclosed that it does not do any form of Redirect and does not keep log, and does not store records, and does not store user's any information.
- 220.127.116.11
- 22.214.171.124
ISSUES: Google deletes IP address for a DNS query after 24 hours, but permanently stores ISP, location information for that DNS query. See Google Public DNS (wikipedia) and check reference area.
Other Public DNS Servers
List of other Public DNS Servers are also available from:
- Public DNS Resolvers page.

Daniel Ubako Lowell MA
Hard to find a place near Lowell and Dracut MA line. Luckily, my friend recommended this service. It was a life saver as my fax needed to be received by 5:00 PM. The staff was super friendly and ensured my fax was delivered and confirmed. I hate going to Staples because they don't help you with your fax, they want you to do it yourself and their machines are crazy complicated!

The Yaramoko permit covers approximately 196km2 in the Province of Balé in southwestern Burkina Faso. The property is located approximately 200 kilometres southwest from the capital city of Ouagadougou.
The underground mine is to be accessed by a dual ramp system, via a single portal at the bottom of a 23m deep box cut. LHOS (including up hole retreat in certain areas) is planned as the main mining method, with a limited application of cut and fill for the crown pillar mining. The mine layout is based on 17m sub-levels. Standard longhole stopes two sub-levels in height (34m) and 25m in strike length, are utilised to mine the narrow-vein ore body. By December 2018 AUMS will have delivered 17,100m of jumbo development, 120,000m of specialised narrow-vein 64mm longhole drilling, and 460,000t of ore. It is envisaged that personnel on site will be increased to over 220 by the end of this period.

Free State Stars v Richards Bay
Free State Stars will hope to end some poor form under coach Nikola Kavazovic when they face unknown quantities Richards Bay in Saturday's Nedbank Cup Round-of-32 clash at Goble Park.
The hosts come into the contest in some abysmal form having lost four of their last five matches, which includes a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Cape Town City in their previous Premiership outing.
Stars have the worst defence in South Africa's Premiership having conceded 29 times in 18 league matches in 2018/19.
As such, Kavazovic appears to be trying to address the issue with central defender Simisani Mathumo signing from Township Rollers earlier this week.
27-year-old Mathumo is Botswana's captain and played under Kavazovic during their time together with Rollers in 2017/18.
Meanwhile, little is known about Richards Bay aside from the fact they are seventh in the NFD and Michael Boy Gumede is the club's top scorer with five league goals in 16 appearances.
The side progressed to this round of the competition after Sbonelo Ngubane's winning goal against Royal Eagles in December.
Saturday's action between the two teams is set to get underway from 15:00 in Bethlehem.

There were scattered showers and one or two storms throughout the month, this was sufficient to keep the grass green. The whole Triangle is covered in very a dense stand of grass, making game viewing very difficult in all but a few areas.
The Chief Executive met with the Chairman of the Kenya Tourism Federation, Mr Jake Grieves-Cook, the umbrella tourism body in Kenya on the 6th June to discuss the tourism crisis, amongst other issues.
The Chief Executive also met with the Clerk, Narok County Council, together with Mr George Orr of Earthview Management Ltd on the 15th June to discuss modalities for repaying Narok tickets redeemed in the Mara Triangle and vice versa in respect of Mara Conservancy tickets redeemed in Narok. It appears that there is little chance of recovering money for tickets already redeemed but we may be able to work something out for the future.
The Mara Conservancy, through Mr Gavin Bennett, has prepared a reply to a very negative article appearing in the EcoForum magazine. This reply will appear in the August issue of the magazine.
The Chief Executive met with Mr Allan Earnshaw of Ker & Downey Safaris, together with Mr Mike McCartney of CAMPFIRE on the 11th June, to discuss possible management of Koyaki & Lemek Group Ranches. The impetus for management of Koyaki & Lemak seems to be stalling as different factions within the ranches wrangle over the need for private management.
The review team have not finalised their report. Local politics and misinformation continue to shed a cloud of uncertainty over the Conservancy's future that will probably only be dispelled once the report is out. In the meantime, this uncertainty, together with no funds from gate fees, severely curtails our ability to operate and raise possible donor support to meet the anticipated shortfalls. In order to try and chart a way forward, the Conservancy is proposing a one day seminar with all interested parties in Nairobi sometime in the latter half of July. Mr George Orr and the Chief Executive have possibly raised funds to pay for the seminar from PACT, a Kenya-based NGO operating from Nairobi. Final arrangements will be made on the 30th June in Nairobi.
The Chief Executive met with the area MP the Hon G Konchella on the 14th June and was assured that the Management Agreement would not be revoked and that we should not be concerned about security of Tenure.
We received a cheque for Sterling £ 4,850.00 (approximately Ksh 500,000) towards the purchase of a wildlife monitoring and anti-harassment vehicle, very kindly raised and donated by BBC staff involved in the Big Cat Diary. We are awaiting the clearance of this cheque before proceeding with the purchase of a vehicle.
The Chief Executive and Senior Warden met with the new community development committee, to be called the Mara Siria Development Trust, on the 11th June.
The Chief Executive met with Mr Martin Forster. Managing Director of CMC Holdings, on the 26th to discuss a wide range of issues including the purchase of the monitoring and anti-harassment vehicle and the possible provision of pre-fabricated housing for staff.
The Chief Executive met with Mr S Karabilo of Serena Lodges to discuss a n umber of issues, including the stopping of credit to the Mara Conservancy by Serena. We hope that this matter has been resolved.
Dr Z Kashmiri darted one warthog at Kichwa Tembo on the 4th June. The following day we darted two lionesses from a pride in the area we found a dead lioness in May. The samples were taken to Analabs, the premier veterinary diagnostic laboratory in Kenya. One of the lionesses was normal but the first animal darted showed fairly severe anaemia, a high neutrophil count with many young neutrophils; all indicating an animal fighting an infection. The infection was probably located in the kidneys as the blood urea count was exceptionally high. However, no definitive infectious agent was found although e coli were found and may have contributed. It will be worth monitoring the lion population and repeating the exercise if we see other weak animals. One sick lioness was seen towards the end of the month but no samples were taken.
One lioness with two young cubs has been seen on the road to Mara Bridge, we hope that she will be able to keep her cubs, as most of the lionesses seem to lose theirs. Only two cubs have been known to survive in the past two years, and neither of those have been seen recently.
On the 6th June Dr Kashmiri darted a young elephant in the Musiara swamp, on the Narok side of the river, and removed a wire snare that was very deeply embedded and had caused considerable damage to the front leg. There was concern that the damage was too great for the leg to recover but we have had no recent feed-back on the animal.
On the 7th six cattle were killed by lions as they were brought to water at the salt lick very early in the morning. One child was injured as he fled the lions and was brought to Mara Serena for treatment.
The female rhino is seen most days, the male appears to have returned to the other side of the river.
The very long grass in the Triangle not only makes game viewing difficult but discourages wildlife. Most of the wildlife is on naturally short grass areas along the Mara River and on the Tanzanian Border. It is understood that the migration is in the western corridor of the Serengeti and we can expect the first few animals in mid to late July.
The banning of British Airways flights to Kenya, coupled with Travel Advisories issued by the USA and many European countries – warning against all but essential travel to Kenya – have had a devastating effect on tourism. This has obviously seriously affected the Masai Mara and the Mara Conservancy. Fortunately British Airways have said that they will resume flights to Kenya on the 3rd July and Britain, Germany, France and Belgium have all recently lifted the Travel Advisories. However, the damage has been done for June and July and will probably extend into August and possibly for the remainder of this year.
Tourism throughout June was a disaster, with camps and lodges reporting virtually no bookings and very low occupancy rates. There appears to have been a slight improvement towards the end of June but we can expect at least 50% decline on June the previous year. This comes on top of a 30% decline in May – normally the worst month of the year.
Two poachers were arrested during the month, bringing to total arrested to 210. This is no mean feat when one considers that Narok arrested their first poacher in a year on the 27th. 44 wire snares were recovered on the Tanzanian side of the border – bringing the total snares recovered to around 1,000.
There were no reported signs of poaching in the Triangle for the third consecutive month. The only activity reported in the Triangle has been the continued use of the Mara Bridge by poachers crossing into the Narok side. Poachers tracks were seen crossing over the bridge on the nights of 11th, 14th, and 25th. We laid ambushes on the nights of 15-17th with no success.
On the 18th the two poachers, both wa Kuria, out of a group of four were arrested below Masanja in Tanzania. The group had arrived the previous day and set all 44 snares but had not been successful. They had met one other group of four poachers who had given them half an impala.
With the imminent arrival of the migration we can expect a surge in poaching activity and groups laying large numbers of snares – as was the case on the 18th. Our staff will have to spend more time out on mobile and night patrols and we hope that we can raise the funding required for provisions and ration.
There is a possibility that we will have to send at least ten members of staff on unpaid leave – unless tourism picks up or we receive donor support. Such a move would only occur as a last resort and a decision will be made by mid-July, when the Board meets and deliberates on a revised budget and recommendations from the Chief Executive.
There was a routine change over of staff in the middle of the month – this time we also transferred civilian staff and not only security staff. We removed two rangers stationed at Little Governor's Camp, as part of our cost cutting exercise, and will probably not replace them. In order to increase or active security compliment we are considering training some of the civilian staff on gate duties, thus releasing armed rangers for patrol duties.
The Chief Executive took 11 days off during the month, this followed five days taken in May.
We are expecting a young student attachee in July, she is Ms Louisa Richmond-Coggan and she will be with us for about six weeks.
We removed two uniport huts from Little Governor's and erected them at Serena to ease congestion on staff housing.
The spare part for the grader arrived and was fitted. The grader has touched up the road from Mara Serena to Oloololo Gate and one patch on the road to Little Governor's. The grader has now been stopped but will touch up two roads to Mara Bridge in July.
The Gyro-mower has cut the grass on the roads to Ngiro-are and partly along the Tanzanian Border. We are awaiting a spare part before continuing with grass cutting on the game viewing tracks.
All the category B camp sites – reserved for Kenya Residents – and non-commercial operators have been cleared and are ready. We have received several bookings for July and August and hope that by making the Triangle and attractive destination for residents we can generate additional revenue. All camping fees go to the County Council but gate revenue will be split in the normal fashion.
Revenue and Accounts
May is usually the worst month of the year for revenue and this May there was a further reduction by about 30%. It is estimated that June revenue will probably no better than for May, a very considerable reduction on normal. This has serious implications for management, our share of May revenue only just covered staff salaries – with no additional funds for management, vehicle running and other costs. If the same happens in June – we will start to pile up debts, especially vehicle running and legal fees.
Report on focus for June
Focus for July
- Board meeting scheduled for week of 10th July;
- Stakeholder seminar for week of 20th July
- Grade roads to Mara Bridge
- Hold two-year anniversary celebration;
- Work with CMC to purchase vehicle for animal monitoring.

Scott Miller
My love and passion for photography has made me a very lucky person. It has taken me places and put me in the middle of historic events – from the fall of the Eastern Bloc, presidential campaigns, Super Bowls, NCAA Championships, Wrestlemania and a few miracle putts by Tiger Woods. It has brought me honors and awards, and taken me near and far for assignments.
That love and passion of still photographs helped drive me when I started into video work several years ago allowing me to offer more to my clients.
My fun loving personality helps me connect with my subjects and helps me bring out the best of them in my photographs for my clients. Which is always my number one goal – my clients needs.
I live just outside of Orlando, Florida and I am available to capture images for my clients anywhere in the world.

Research Spotlight
Year for Activism
New York - December 15, 2015
John Laide
With a little over two weeks left in 2015,
a record-setting 355 activist campaigns have already been announced
against US incorporated companies, topping the previous record of 353
set in 2008. These high-impact activist campaigns - those focused on
value creation, public short, board seat, and officer/director
removal, hit a post-financial crisis low of 219 announced in 2010 but
have steadily risen every year since. Despite the record volume, 2015
will most likely be remembered for the quality of the companies
targeted which included 33 Fortune 500 companies. The list includes
campaigns against household names American Express Company, American
International Group, Inc., The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation,
General Electric Company, General Motors Company, Macy's Inc, QUALCOMM
Incorporated and Xerox Corporation.
Activists have also had a record year in
terms of campaigns resulting in board seats. As of December 14th, 127
campaigns resulted in at least one board seat for the activist (or
where the activist had a meaningful say in the appointment of a new
independent director). The data includes all campaigns resulting in
board seats attained via a vote at a proxy fight, to settle a proxy
fight, granted as part of other activist campaigns, or granted to
prominent activists that are Schedule 13D filers but have not publicly
agitated at the company, and is based on the date that the seat was
granted or won.

Soon, cars that give drivers fuel saving advices
Sydney, March 9 (ANI): Cars that give owners tips on how to attain maximum mileage while driving may soon be reality, thanks to a technology that is due in an Audi that wil be launched in Australia early next year.
The technology monitors driver behaviour and offers advice to cut fuel use, in turn reducing emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
The advices it gives include tips on the best gear to be in, not putting your foot on the clutch too early, and not using the accelerator when starting the car.
It even alerts the driver to how much air-conditioning, seat heaters and window demisters add to fuel consumption.
This technology, which may help reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 per cent, will initially be available only on the most efficient Audi models.
However, it can be adapted to any vehicle.
"It's a very new technology and we're not sure how the customers will react. We are not trying to be schoolmasters. It gives you hints and tips about your driving style, so it could be a bit dangerous (in how some people accept such advice)," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted an Audi technical development engineer, Thomas Kamla, as saying.
He says that their new technology offers a way to involve drivers regarding the subject of fuel consumption.
"We are convinced it helps drivers to save fuel depending on your driving style, maybe an average between 10 and 15 per cent. If this experiment is successful we'll bring it to market with all cars," he added. (ANI)

I have only used this with two-year-olds in a Mommy and Me class I teach, so I don't have much in way of a rhyme to use with Cookie--yet. The two's just love bringing up their cookie to put is in his mouth (Love with a dash of fear. He is a monster, and that is a big mouth). After each child added a cookie, we all said, "Yummy, yummy in my tummy!"
Cookie is about 20 inches in diameter, so we had some more fun with him after circle time. I put him on the floor on top of a large piece of felt with cookie sheets on either side. The kids threw round felt cookie bean bags at the assortment of targets. I can't sew, so I just hot glued two beige circles together, filled with beans, and drew on chocolate chips. It was all super simple and very fun.
See the original post if you are interested in a craft to go along.

text: With the DFL-Supercup, the first round of the DFB-Pokal, and even a game of UEFA Champions League qualifiers out of the way, the Bundesliga is about to kick off with a jam-packed weekend of great fixtures. So, who looks to sit atop the table after the opening weekend? Friday, August 18 Last season, Bayern Munich obliterated the competition by winning the Bundesliga by 15 points and a goal difference superior by 50 goals to second place. They're an incredibly dominant force in Germany, and indeed the European stage, and are 6/25 to get a win on the opening night of the season. Bayer Leverkusen, who rock a pretty strong team themselves, drew the short straw and will have to face the champions in the opening game of the season. As good as Bayer Leverkusen are, Bayern Munich became even stronger by signing the likes of Corentin Tolisso and James Rodriguez over the summer, as well as making the Kingsley Coman deal permanent, so they should win this game with ease. Saturday, August 19 After a difficult first game in the Champions League playoffs against Premier League club Liverpool, Hoffenheim will hope to get their domestic campaign off to a good start against Werder Bremen, and are 4/5 to do so. Hamburger SV host Augsburg in what looks to be a close game, with a draw set at 9/4 in the odds, while Hertha Berlin and VfB Stuttgart are also expected to engage in a close game. Hannover 96 go to play Mainz 05 but aren't expected to come away with the victory, while travellers Borussia Dortmund – who came third last season – should beat VfL Wolfsburg to round-out the earlier Saturday games. In the evening, the most closely contested game of the weekend takes place: both Schalke 04 and last season's runners-up, RB Leipzig, are rated at 8/5 to get the win in the late kick-off. Sunday, August 20 In the earlier Sunday game, Eintracht Frankfurt make their way over to SC Freiburg, with the home team slightly favoured to take all three points at 11/8. Then, to finish up the opening week of Bundesliga football, Borussia Monchengladbach host FC Koln in a game that they're anticipated to win, with the home team at just below evens, 23/25. Bayern Munich are expected to start the season where they intend to finish up, at the very top, so which other Bundesliga hopefuls will be joining them with three points?

The Internet is a very competitive place where thousands of businesses are doing all they can to stay relevant and be in front of their competitors. This can be a very challenging task that requires constant work and devotion. No matter the type of the business in question, the main point is to always be visible in the internet world, because the internet is a very large space where many fail to leave a good impression to the public. That is why a good marketing is needed in order to attract more customers and be visible on the internet. There are numerous marketing strategies used today, but the important thing to know is that what is good for one business may not be good for other. Which marketing strategy will be used depends on many factors, including the type of business, what is the target audience, what goals you plan to achieve and many more others.
A good example for implementing good marketing strategy is the Muay Thai training camps in Thailand. Because of the fact that training Muay Thai in Thailand is a very popular activity, many of the camps are setting up their sites on the internet where they show the public what they have to offer. If the training camp wants to achieve success and be more popular than another camp, then it should include many pictures on its site, it should show the training schedule, how much it costs to enter the Muay Thai training camp and other similar things. Those training camps that do not have their own website on the internet are risking being left behind.
People that want to spend their holiday in Thailand usually go on the internet first where they get informed about everything regarding their holiday. Some people with health issues may be required to take some medications with them, and on the internet, you can also find information about what kind of health medications you can take with you if you decide to visit Thailand. Also if you are searching for specific Muay Thai training camp you can go on the internet and see what it can offer for your holiday. You can see how far is the Muay Thai training camp from the hotel or the place where you are spending your holiday in Thailand.
The important thing to know is that all those Muay Thai training camps in Thailand that want to attract more people to them should focus on implementing good internet strategies. These marketing strategies are usually done by professionals, so many are hiring services of marketing specialists. Anyhow, the internet is a very large space where you can get informed about anything regarding your holiday and how you can improve your health in Thailand, so make sure you make some research before going on holiday. After you made your choice, visit a Muay Thai training camp in Thailand at Suwit Muay Thai and have fun. You will enjoy in good health and will also meet many interesting people.

Massage treatment at Move
We believe good quality massage treatment can be beneficial when used in conjunction with Osteopathy and Physiotherapy but also offers a wonderful therapeutic and relaxing treatment on its own for musckuloskeletal complains and to help
Myotherapy, sometimes called Musculoskeletal Therapy or MST, is a more comprehensive analysis of your physical state than Remedial massage.
Myotherapists complete a 3 year bachelor level qualification in musculoskeletal examination and advanced massage therapy techniques. A Myotherapy session involves a thorough assessment of your posture and muscle balance, with treatment directed towards muscular soft tissues.
In addition to typical remedial massage techniques, a Myotherapy treatment may include myofascial release techniques, dry needling, electro dry needling, cupping, supportive and rock taping and trigger point therapy. Take home exercises and advice may be given when appropriate.
Remedial Massage Therapy
Remedial Massage Therapy (RMT) is the assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, pain and injury management. It's performed with the goal in mind to create favourable conditions for the body to return to normal health after injury.
RMT aims to balance muscle and soft tissue tension, increase the flow of blood and lymph particularly in the injured areas, thus removing blockages, damaged cells, scar tissue and adhesions resulting from injury and help promote healing to the effected area.
RMT is tailored to the individuals specific needs and may use a variety of different techniques including stretches, trigger point therapy, myofascial release as well as a combination of relaxation, deep tissue and sport's massage techniques.
All of our Remedial Massage Therapists at MOVE have Diploma level qualifications, are registered with an industry professional body and hold their required insurance.
Myotherapy vs Remedial Massage
At graduation, the primary distinction between a Remedial Massage Therapist and a Myotherapists is that the Myotherapists have longer, more rigorous training and use a broader range of massage techniques. They both focus on soft tissue releases, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue massage, whereas, Myotherapists may also use techniques such as dry needling, cupping and muscle stretching .

Pesach, matza, and Yitro, the father in law of Moses
BS"D Got my matzah, G-d is in His heaven and all is right in the world. And I got it with ease this time, shalva. I get special matzah from Jerusalem, from Wechelstein matza bakery, the classic Yerushalmi matza bakery. And it has been difficult to get because the boxes are big and I cannot take them on the bus and I do not have a car. I once paid 600 shekels to take a taxi back to Tzfat from Jerusalem to bring the matzot. But for the past four years, Tzfat's only woman Rosh HaYeshiva, Judy Paikin, has picked up my matza and brought them back to Tzfat. She is a professional driver and a good one. But this year instead of my calling her, she called me and asked me if I wanted her to pick up my matzot. It turns out that she has come to look forward to going to that holy matza bakery to pick up the matzot as a pre-Passover ritual, and she loves it.
The picture and scene are difficult to describe. You have to go behind an old building near the Russian Compound in Jerusalem, and you will see an pile of olive wood, as tall as Og of Bashan, to fire the matza ovens. Next to the olive wood pile is a narrow door leading into a long, narrow hallway that opens onto the big room with the shiny stainless steel tables where around twenty five kollel men are rolling the lumps of matzo dough thin, men with white shirts and aprons, singing Yerushalmi songs as they work. At regular intervals the supervising rabbi calls out, "L'shem matzos mitzvah," the verbal declaration that these matzot are being made for the purpose of fulfilling the mitzvah from the holy Torah of eating matzot during the holiday of Pesach, particularly at the Pesach Seder. That first bite of matza at the Seder contains the spiritual source of all the mitzvot we do during the coming year. So it is worthwhile to get mehuder shmura matzot, like the ones I am describing, matzot from wheat that was guarded against water touching it from the moment it was harvested until it was eaten to fulfill the mitzvah d'orayta, from the Torah. In Israel it is easy to get shmura matza, the big round hand made ones. In New York and Los Angeles and Miami and Chicago and other cities with a sizeable Jewish community and wherever there is a Chabad House. you can get genuine mehudar shmura matza. Chabad matzot are mehadrin min hamehadrin. Compared to Wechelstein's, in my opinion, Chabad matzot taste like asbestos shingles, but that's just me. My son, Yosef, prefers them.
Shmura matza is expensive. The kind I get, because they are extra thin, and come from where they come from, cost extra. Are you ready? $37.00 a pound. And there are matzot way more expensive than that. But it is an investment in your soul and the whole world's soul. When you take that first bite of matza to fulfill the mitzvah of eating matza on Seder night and you know even a drop of what you are accomplishing by saying both blessings, on the matzah as bread, "hamotzi lechem min haaretz," and to fulfill the mitzvah of eating matzo at the Seder. Of course, the blessing "vitzivanu l'achilat matza," can only be said by a Jew by birth or conversion, but a Ger can certainly perform the mitzvah of eating matzo during Passover and observing Pesach to the fullest. But he or she cannot say the bracha, asher kiddishanu b'mitzvotav, Who has sanctified us an commanded us to eat matza, because only the Jew is commanded to eat matzo on Pesach. But remember, saying the bracha is a rabbinic injunction. It does not come from the Torah. One fulfills the mitzvah 100% without the bracha. However, when you say that bracha and mention Hashem's Name and say it with love and devotion, and then bite into that matza, you have fulfilled the reason for the Creation.
For many years now, I have been solidly in the camp of the Ger, and I still am. Any non-Jew who wants the Torah and the Giver of the Torah, our Father which art in heaven, and only Him, Hashem Echad, One without a second, does not have to convert. If his or her yearning is for Torah and mitzvoth alone, he can fulfill his purpose in this world, and have a rich and beautiful life and be good with G-d as a righteous Gentile, a Noahide Ger, a Ger in the gate, a Nilveh, take your pick of titles, but they all lead to spiritual riches and a life of blessings. Choose G-d and you get good because He is good and does good, Hatov u'Metiv.
That being said, when I made a pilgrimage to the tomb of Nabi Shuweib, who is Yitro (Jethro), the father in law of Moses, I came away from the very powerful experience thinking that Yitro did a great thing by not staying with the Jews and by returning to Midian to bring his family to believe in Hashem. His descendants, the Kenites were spectacularly great people, unique, incomparable, and their greatness stems from Yitro. If the Kenites had been around in the sixties instead of the Beatles, they surely would have brought Mashiach. Nevertheless, what Yitro might have accomplished for G-d and Israel and the Torah if he had petitioned Hashem to remove the last kelipa, kelipat nogah, and become actually holy, by converting, what might he have accomplished then? Remember, how great he was. Moses attributed all of his own greatness to his father in law. Yitro alone remembered to bless Hashem for all the miracles He did for Israel, taking them out of Egyptian slavery and signing a covenant with them on Mount Sinai. Only Yitro remembered to bless Hashem for all He did for His people. Yitro's soul had the power to turn evil into good. Yitro could go where most tzadikim are not permitted to go. The Ari taught that Yitro was a spark of the soul of Cain, and so were the Levites, who, when the Third Temple is built and the sin of Cain and Abel has been perfectly and eternally rectified, then the Levites will be the Cohanim and the Cohanim will be the Leviim. But do not understand this wrong. A Levite can never be a Cohen and a Cohen can never be a non-Cohen Levite (Cohanim are from the tribe of Levite, hence they are special Levites). If a Levite performs the service of a Cohen in the Holy Temple, he is liable for the death penalty. And it is a matter of dispute whether the reverse is true, if the Cohen does the Levites job, he may receive some kind of demotion, but certainly not the death penalty because a Cohen is a Levite, but a Levite is not a Cohen.
So what Cohen becoming Levite and vice versa means is that the Levite, who are from Cain the firstborn, and the Cohanim who are from Abel, the younger, will switch levels and the Levite will be the chosen of the two through his singing in the Temple which brings people to ruach hakodesh and pure nevua, prophecy, and through the secret compounding of the spices of the Temple incense, which was known only to the Levite family of Bet Avtinas, and through the Levitical cities of refuge, the place of Torah, the Levites would assume their true role as the righteous firstborn, and the teachers of all Israel, because in the Third Temple, the Shir Leviim will be three times greater than it was before, and the Temple incense, which is equal to all the other sacrifices combined, will become six times greater than ever before, and only the Levitical family of Bet Avtinas knows the secret of how to compound the spices. And the Torah they will teach is Torat HaMashiach. The Cohanim will be the judges, but the Levites will be the shepherds and guardians of Israel.
Speaking of Yitro, Where is Yitro's court system? It is mentioned twice in the Torah, in Parshat Yitro and in Parshat Dvarim, the first parsha of the Book of Deuteronomy. And Yitro's court system is the only court system that the Torah mentions, and it does not resemble the rabbinic court system one bit. In the Torah, it is the Cohanim who are the court. According to the Torah, the Sanhedrin is one man alone, the Shofet, presumably the king. We have a binyan av in Moses as it says in Exodus 18:22, "and every great matter they shall bring to you." He alone was the Supreme Court. The 71 man Sanhedrin is a Second Temple creation based on the structure of the Anshei Knesset HaGadola, a self-instituted body of Torah scholars and judges, who modeled themselves after the 70 Elders who received the spirit of Moses, but they were not the same at all. The Shiviim Zekainim were leaders and shepherds with the ruach of Moses, the true smicha, which is the knowledge of Maaseh Merkava, the Workings of the Chariot. It has nothing to do with the laws of taking blood out of meat, chas v'shalom…poo poo poo, kishuf. The only true smicha today is conferred by Eliyahu HaNavi, zachur latov, and I will guarantee you that few rabbis have it.
We are living with Prince John while Richard is fighting the crusades. That is the moshol in tumah. Transpose it from impurity to purity and holiness, and you see the truth of our Talmudic tradition. It is 60% politics. All religion is politics. Orthodox Judaism is no exception. Orthodox Judaism, Rabbinic Judaism, is 40% Torah.
We have to religiously dump religion. To be religious is something entirely different than observing a religion. Religious is a matter of searching for G-d. Religion is a matter of manipulating people who are not as clever as you. Yitro made the non-political choice by returning to Midian as a Ger, and not a Jew, but I cannot help wonder what this giant could have accomplished with a full revelation of his Yechida sh'b'Nefesh, the actual holiness of his soul. When a genius non-politician enters politics, his potential for accomplishment is unlimited unless he becomes corrupt. Had Yitro become a Jew and realized his spiritual potential (who know what Hashem would have bestowed upon him and his progeny?), with his knowledge of politics and his purity of spirit, he could have manipulated the entire world into serving Hashem in righteousness.
And I will tell you this, at the tomb of Yitro, it is strained and uncomfortable although profoundly spiritual for a Jew to be there. It is entirely in the hands of the Druzim, a fine people who observe the Seven Laws of Noah according to their Sheich, because Moses commanded it on Sinai. These people are surely the descendants of the Kenites. Go look it up on Wikipedia. But it is not haimish for a Jew, which means an aspect of the Nefesh Elokit, the G-dly Soul, is covered up.
Taking all those factors into account, and holding up Yitro as a dugma, a role model for the righteous Gentile, I believe that conversion to become a Jew is the supreme accomplishment. However, it should be like the Pesach matza, made for the sake of Heaven with joy. But if one does not feel it, really wants to have the spiritual riches of a Jew without becoming a Jew, then Ger is the highest path there is. And then the Ger becomes the Levite, the Elder in the family of man. And the only future for Ger is in Levitical Judaism, where Ger is in the essence.
Moving on -- Happy pre-Pesach preparations. It is a time of great accomplishment, when the dormant begins to bud and bloom. This is also the time when spider mites come to life to suck the juices out of every leaf, and it is the time when Monsanto and Tropicana start dumping tons of pesticides into our beautiful world because their satanic greed, proving the Torah is right for saying that the nature of man from his youth is evil. But every man can convert his evil inclination to good. How? The starting point is by eating matzo on Pesach. Eating matzo and having a sumptuous feast as commanded by G-d on Seder night is our testimony to freedom. And freedom is more precious than anything else on earth, and I place perfect health in the category of freedom. Only G-d can grant it. There can be no true accomplishment without a foundation of freedom. That is why communism fails everywhere and the chief cause of tyranny and human suffering. The more corporate science corrupts our world, the more malignant it will become. May Hashem protect us from theoretical physicists and charismatic atheists.

16/05/2016 | AICHR Regional Forum on the Role of Media in Promoting and Protecting Human Rights in ASEAN, Malaysia
16-17 May 2016
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Beneficiary: AICHR
Media plays an increasingly important role that could support and strengthen the promotion of human rights through reporting of news and dissemination of information. Media can also be used as an avenue for dialogue and public discourse on human rights issues and has greater role to influence public policy and opinion in favour of intensifying the promotion of human rights. In contrast, the media may also create or perpetuate stereotypes and can be seen as a witness and promoting hatred and violence that may have severe impacts on human rights. Besides, lack of knowledge on human rights issues and the inability to contextualize news on human rights may cause further rights abuses such as loss of dignity, disrespect and abuse of privacy and insensitivity of victims.
In the context of ASEAN, human rights issues are considerably underreported. Even if they are reported, reporting is essentially reactive to violations of rights during and after conflicts/incidences and revolves around civil and political and less on economic, social and cultural rights. In short, the media has not done enough to report and explain human rights issues. They are also seen as bias and selective in their reporting which leads to misrepresentation and marginalization of human rights issues in the region. There are challenges facing media agencies in ASEAN in relation to reporting and producing news and information that are related to human rights. Among them, human rights issues are considered taboo; human rights as a heavy subject as it often involves legal implications and political philosophy; human rights issues have no 'news value' or are 'non-newsworthy'. Additionally, the changing landscape in media's industry particularly on the rise of new media such as online portal imposes a new set of challenges in relation to professionalism, ethics and style of reporting that could have impacts on human rights.
The AICHR Five-Year Work Plan (2010-2015) has specifically assigned AICHR to develop common media programmes on human rights in close consultation and cooperation with ASEAN Sectoral Bodies particularly the ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI) and Senior Officials Meeting Responsible for Information (SOMRI). The convening of this workshop would serve as a pioneering step to spearhead closer cooperation and partnership with the media as well as relevant ASEAN Sectoral Bodies including AMRI and SOMRI, in line with the Work Plan.

Till death us do part?
You meet the 'one'. Fall in love. Get married. Live happily ever after…
Yet even as a child, when the fairy tale rounded to its tidy conclusion and the pages closed shut, I was left with a lingering set of doubts which could neither be silenced nor clearly articulated. In the current social climate, I must admit to being no closer to any clarification on the matter of marriage.
The institution of marriage is under serious attack; subject to constant bombardment from a multitude of sources, with their sights trained on the purpose of blasting it out of any sense of relevance in modern western culture. Statistics regularly inform of the erosion of belief in the state of matrimony, perpetuating reports of rising divorce rates, the decline in marriages and the social norms of cohabitation and single parent households. Against this backdrop of hard figures is the media obsession with the well worn cautionary narrative of the lavish celebrity wedding, followed inevitably by the lavish celebrity divorce settlement, peppered with the essential ingredients of lurid infidelities and high profile divorce lawyers, considerably enriched by their participation in the undignified circus of a marriage breakdown. As the prevailing public template for marriage, it is no wonder that there is a degree of difficulty in viewing marriage in the traditional sense – as a lifetime commitment to one person.
Beyond the tabloid images, the shift towards secular values in Western culture has rendered the traditional justifications for marriage as almost redundant. This sentiment is summed up by Betty Freidan:
"If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, doesn't blame the women's movement. Blame the obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based".
Marriage is no longer the sole means of a woman's legitimisation, and being a wife is no longer akin to attaining chattel status. However, with the dissolution of the traditional sex roles and a lack of a solid, recognisable structure to replace them, there has emerged a scrambling desire to fill the vacuum by clinging to the vestiges of the past; returning to an Austen-esqe outlook where a woman's options were simplified to optimising her value in the marriage market, manifested in its extreme form through the (arguably distorted) reflection of the collective imagination – the Media. It focuses on a pervasive view of women intent on marrying a wealthy man for the status and lifestyle conferred through him. In this arrangement, she consents to be 'kept' by her husband as an accessory, with her primary aim to channel her creative energies on maintaining a 'perfect' home and achieving the objective of physical attractiveness at all times, through a regime of shopping, spa treatments, cosmetic procedures and starvation to conform to the aesthetic of a pre-pubescent schoolgirl, to keep his eyes from straying.
Consenting to an arrangement which diminishes or destroys your sense of self-determination can never be a healthy basis for a partnership – in whatever form. Besides, this is a story which I, for one, have heard quite enough of – It's time for something more edifying.
Obsolete sex roles do not necessarily mean that marriage itself is obsolete. Although to some, marriage may just be a 'piece of paper' with no connection to a commitment of love, or even as a stable unit from which to raise a family, there is still something noble in marriage as an ideal, as an open commitment to another person to work towards an ultimate state of companionship, beyond the experience of friendship and blood ties, as specified by Alfred Adler who noted that:
"We only regard these unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a 'getaway'. We cannot love and be limited"
In light of the possibilities that there may be no such thing as the 'one' and 'forever' cannot be guaranteed, marriage has attained its rightful place as a choice, rather than an expectation and the decision to marry, like every other in life must be interrogated within a deeply personal context. Such an interrogation requires the considerations that the very nature of love towards another is subject to change throughout the relationship; that the financial balance of power often matters; that some people are not capable of fidelity; that even with children, some couples are better off apart; that the person you see as your soul mate now, may not so easily fulfil your needs further down the line. These uncertainties are unavoidable and real – set against the unflinching ideals of marriage, which dictates a lifetime commitment to another, whatever the circumstances.
Marriage; like any other endeavour in life, should be entered into with the highest ideals – your own.
Hmmmmm. I have really quite profound reservations about marriage. To my mind it is a legacy of the days when women were traded between men, and is anathema to any notion of gender equality. (The crying shame, of course, is that the only way non-heterosexual relationships have been able to gain any sort of legitimacy is by modelling themselves in the heteronormative anachronism that is a civil partnership.) The main benefit of marriage these days, that I can see, is that it protects women's legal rights to shared property and financial arrangements. If the law could catch up with social change, and protect women's financial arrangements regardless of their conjugal status, marriage really would become obsolete.
I really, really like your conclusion. This is what it's all about…and no one has the right to dictate what a marriage has to look like. It's a way of life that two people choose and it doesn't have to look like the traditional role model we all know from our own families, movies, books, etc. But you still get strange looks or comments if you don't fit into people's ideas on how married life has to be. But does that mean that I want to live like they do? Certainly not.
And even without others telling you what is right or wrong, it's hard enough sometimes for these two people to sort things out anyway.
I hope what I want to say comes across, even with my limited writing skills in English 😉

In August I had the opportunity to create some simple vegan meals using produce from Hungry Harvest. Hungry Harvest is a weekly subscription produce delivery company serving Maryland, DC, Virginia, and parts of Florida. Using the service is simple and convenient. You create an online account and select the size of your delivery (options include mini, full, and super). You can receive a delivery every week, with the option to suspend your subscription based on your needs and preferences. Our delivery contained black plums, clementines, 2 large zucchini, snap peas, radishes, a large English cucumber, and baby russet potatoes.
Not only does Hungry Harvest provide affordable local produce delivered to your home, the company focuses on creating a better food system by reducing food waste and ending hunger. From the Hungry Harvest website:
Every year, 40% of food goes to waste in this country. 20 billion pounds of that is produce that's lost before it ever leaves the farm.
The injustice of wasting this much edible food when 20% in the US lack access to a nutritious diet is plenty reason to rescue this produce & help mend a broken food system. But the impact of wasted food extends well beyond our bellies. Almost a quarter of agricultural water is used to grow food that's not eaten. We generate the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of 1 in 7 cars by growing, shipping & processing uneaten food. Cutting food waste in half globally could reduce our ecological footprint by 16% & ensure a more sustainable future.
Making a positive environmental impact is just one of the reasons why we work every day to rescue this fresh & delicious produce whose only crime is being a little off-size, off-color, a little ugly or a little overproduced. Packing this into our weekly variety boxes & delivering it to your doorstep not only helps eliminate unnecessary & avoidable food waste, but it also supports efforts to eradicate hunger in this country. So far, with the help of our Harvest Heroes, we've rescued over 9 million pounds of food from going to waste & provided access to over 800,000 pounds of fruits & veggies to those who are food insecure…
Upon receiving our Hungry Harvest box I whipped up two simple one-pot dishes using the produce from our delivery: Hummus Pasta and Green Curry Lentil & Quinoa Stir Fry. You can find the link to the live broadcast above and links to the recipes posted on TryVeg.com below. Have you ever used a produce subscription delivery service?

Jessica Carter is the Vegan Food and Lifestyle Coach at Compassion Over Killing (COK), a national non-profit animal protection organization based in Washington, DC. Committed to making plant-based eating more accessible for all, she organizes and hosts cooking demos, develops online trainings and multimedia content for TryVeg.com, and coordinates collaborations with vegan influencers. Her recipes have been featured on FOX45 Baltimore, Let's Talk Live, and Good Morning Washington.
