Postmortem on Nabil Fekir's decision to pick France over Algeria
A few months ago, Nabil Bentaleb spoke about his decision to play for the Algerian national team. Bentaleb explained, 'When I was younger and I used to watch matches on TV and France lost, I didn't cry. But when Algeria lost, I would cry for hours.' In late February Nabil Fekir made a very different declaration. He said, 'I'll announce my decision […]Read more

Optimism in the Housing Market Leads to More Rental Homes
Home Prices Expected to Have First Yearly Gain Since 2006
New single-family home sales climbed 4.4 % in November to a seasonally adjusted 377,000-unit annual rate.
Many of these homes were purchased by investors who rent them out to former homeowners who now, for whatever reason, need to rent.
U.S. consumer confidence did fall more than expected in December due to the "fiscal crisis". Despite that, there is a growing sense of optimism about the economy. The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell to a nearly 4-1/2 year low. The Labor Department said initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 350,000.
"This recent improvement in the claims data is potentially a favorable signal for the labor market," said Daniel Silver, an economist at JPMorgan in New York. With an anticipated increase in hiring due to the rebuilding campaign on the east coast in the wake of Super-Storm Sandy, there will most likely be more qualified, income-earning renters in the year ahead.

BLOOD DIAMOND is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
It is the harsh, but beautiful story of a subtle kind of redemption. Leo plays his role of diamond smuggler with exquisite excellence. His ex-Zimbabwean/South African accent is incredible (at least in my experience of Zimbabweans which includes sister-in-law, niece, nephew and three second cousins), and his character felt authentic, as does Jennifer Connelly's action-junkie journalist. But the real acting honor goes to Djimon Hounsou who plays his role with the fierce determination and courage of a desperate father trying to find his family.
I can't imagine living his life.
I can't imagine living in a land where life is so cheap and violence so expected.
I can't imagine that the diamonds in my engagement ring might have come from a conflict zone. Next time I buy diamonds (or any other jewels LOL), I WILL ask the origin and if possible proof of origin. Consumerism is power.
Another great African movie is BEYOND BORDERS that I picked up for a few dollars. Loreth recommended both these movies and they were wonderful.
Again this deals with issues that make you uncomfortable. It starts in the Sudan during the big famine in the nineties. My brother had a friend who went there to work for Oxfam. It destroyed him. He turned from a lovable, cheeky rogue to a depressed junkie. Anyway, Clive Owen plays a rough, tough man who's desperately trying to save people's lives and it is killing him that he's failing. He's not your average lovable hero (the language is very British--and why can some people say fuck without offending (like Hugh Grant?) and others turn it into such a power expletive?).
And so enters the beautiful and innocent Angelina.
I won't spoil the story. It is a love story and quite beautiful, but not perhaps your happy ever after variety.
Last, but not least. CASINO ROYALE.
My favourite Bond movie of all time.
Now my DH is a big Bond fan. Bear in mind my husband is a very intelligent man. He has this vast knowledge of hormones, biochemical pathways in numerous different animal phyla. He's really very smart.
Anyway. He didn't get this movie. He liked it, but it confused him.
Enough said.

To close out our Al Fresco Dining week we thought we'd show you a gorgeous table we styled with an anniversary in mind. Sometimes you can look at something like this and get overwhelmed by the idea, but today we're going to show you how easy it is to do something this amazing. You can keep this as a romantic dinner for two, just like Amanda did yesterday, or you can keep adding and make it a dinner party! You're only limited by your imagination!
For this table the three of us shopped our houses, and the only things that we bought specifically for the shoot were the water bottles, which we picked up at World Market. Amanda and Candice both have a stockpile of antlers (don't you?!), and the rest was easy.
Ten Easy Steps to a Gorgeous Outdoor Table:
- Pick Your Location: Your backyard or patio is an obvious choice, but not everyone has a backyard that will work. This is where you think outside the box. A driveway or side yard can be perfect, or you can go set up a table at your local park.
- Pick Your Theme: Because this was an anniversary dinner, we knew we needed a family dynamic, but we also knew it needed to suit the couple. This isn't a casual picnic, but it's also not a formal 16 course meal.
- Start with the Table: We picked a small table that is normally a side table, but that seats 2 people perfectly. You can use a coffee table, your kitchen table, and obviously, a patio or picnic table!
- Let the Layering Begin: The key to a gorgeous table is layering. Every layer adds an amazing element. Your first layer is usually the table, and then you add to it. The next can be the table cloth, and you can stop there, or you can add a runner to the table cloth! We used a runner on top of the wood, and then added the place settings.
- Add the place setting: I like to add the setting next, so that I can see how much room is left for the extras. Don't be afraid to use your good china outside (it's no more likely to break outside than inside… unless there's a storm, in which case, you might need to cancel your al fresco plans!). Don't feel like you have to match everything. Do what feels right to you!
- Pick your linens: We used cloth napkins, which always make things more beautiful, and we added a blanket to the chair, because if your lingering over dessert you don't want to be forced inside because you get chilly!
- The Centerpiece: This is the decorative focal point of your table. Flowers are always a good choice, but you don't have to limit yourself. We used antlers in an antique dough bowl, along with a cloche and family pictures.
- Decide on the extras: Once you have the essentials on the table it's time to embellish! This is another place to think about the theme. We placed extra family pictures in antique floral frogs all over the table, and we added place cards.
- Weigh it down: When you're eating outside, nature is always a concern. This is a benefit of using china and glasswear. Plastic cups and utensils can easily blow off a table, but heavier (and more beautiful) place settings will stay put.
- Relax and enjoy: Once you've set a beautiful table, sit down and enjoy it. Take a couple of pictures, but then put your phone down and enjoy the company, the conversation, the setting and the food!

Figuring out microformat support in the Selfoss feed reader
The first thing I did was turn on debugging in Selfoss by setting the logger_level in my config.ini file to DEBUG. I was able to see that the reader was reading my posts, but it looked like the date was wrong:
03-23-14 16:30:00 Debug item "HOWTO – Setting up the Selfoss Feed Reader with microformats support" (1969-12-31 17:00:00) older than 30 days
I did a view-source, and saw that there was a "datetime" value, so I wasn't sure what was going on. I then used the microformats parser at pin13.net and looked at parsed values for several sites supporting microformats, and noticed that my entries did not have any "published" items. I then checked the microformats wiki for h-entry, and saw that I needed a "dt-published" class in the time tag.
I then tried to add this through modifying my uf2 plugin, but did not have any success. Finally, I did a search for "time class" in my theme files and updated all of those files, adding the "dt-published" class. Once I uploaded those theme file updates, I was able to start reading my microformat feed!
Interested in reading microformat sites? Give Selfoss a try!

Rubber manufacturers, car experts, and tire makers have different opinions when it comes to a tire's lifespan, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) doesn't really provide any specific recommendations. While manufacturers' suggestions vary from 5 to 10 years, there are certain signs you should look for as that will give you an idea when it's time to get replacements.
Signs of Tire Wear
According to the British Tyre Manufacturers' Association, you should look for hairline cracks on the sidewall. These cracks may be small or large, but their presence is a sign that the tire is getting old. Tread distortion of any type is another indicator, and that is more likely to appear if you drive on rugged or unpaved roads. Vibrations or dynamic property changes are also symptoms of wear and tear, and if any of these symptoms manifest you need to replace those tires as soon as possible.
If an old rubber band is left around for a long time and you suddenly stretch it, the rubber will crack or even snap, and the same thing happens to car tires. The longer you use them the more likely cracks will manifest, both inside the tire and on the surface, which makes it dangerous.
Small cracks might seem trivial, but over time the crack gets larger and could lead to the separation of the tread steel belts from the tire. Aside from wear and tear, accelerated heat and poor or lack of maintenance are the most common culprits. In other words, all tires that spend any considerable amount of time on the road are going to show signs of wear and tear. This is true for all tires, even those that have antiozonant chemicals or higher mileage.
How Long Will My Tires Last?
As mentioned above, the range varies from 5 to 10 years, and the reason for the disparity is so many factors come into play such as storage, heat, where you drive, how often you drive and so on. Heat in particular is a major factor and tires in warmer climates tend to wear out faster. However it's not the only one as other environmental conditions also affect the aging process, with coastal climates and excessive sunlight exposure accelerating wear and tear.
Tires that are stored for long periods of time undergo intense heat, and even more for those that are exposed to the elements. Even if you just keep a spare tire in your garage, it will still age, just a little slower. If you want to prolong the life of your spare tires, let them see the light of day every now and then because locking it up speeds up aging.
What it all comes down to is this: if you see any signs of tread wear, cracks or distortion, have it checked or replaced outright. Don't wait for the cracks to get worse, as the cost of replacing them is much lower compared to having an accident due to worn out tires.

I only recommend product that I would use personally or believe would be a good fit with my readers. All opinions are 100 percent my own and may differ from yours. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides concerning the use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
I was excited when I was given another opportunity to review a couple of products from Global Goddess Beauty. Global Goddess Beauty is a company that offers a variety of different beauty products. They offer product such as skin products, hair products, nail products, lip products and so much more.
I was given the opportunity to review two of their brand new products. They just came out with a new product called Exotic Eyes Blackest Black nourishing mascara. The other product they just came out with is Coconut Amla Nourishing Lash and Brow Conditioner.
The fist product we tried was Global Goddess Exotic Eyes Blackest Black Nourishing Mascara. This Mascara net weight is 6.5 gms. This product comes in a nice tube. When I took the brush out of the mascara it was very thin brush. When I took it out the mascara did not clump together which was great. When I gently rubbed the brush on my skin it gave a nice color of black and was dark. I was excited to try this product on my lashes. This product is supposed to give your lashes volume and nourish your lashes. In this product there is Japanese Camellia Seed Oil that nourishes, moisturizes and strengthen lashes. There is also Aloe Vera that adds luster, strengthens, conditions, moisturizes and helps promote healthy lash growth. There is also Panthenol, Lecithin, Wheat Protein and Beeswax heal that helps condition and moisturize. When I applied the mascara I applied at the base for and gently went to the tip of the lashes. I repeated once more to get the thickness and the volume that I wanted. I was quite impressed with this mascara. My lashes looked full and natural after applying. They also did not look clumpy or heavy after application which was great. A lot of mascaras I try feel heavy and look clumpy. I would recommend this mascara and I would buy it again in a heart beat.
The next product that I was sent to review was their Coconut Alma Lash and Brow Conditioning Serum. This product retails for $12.99. I will be honest and I never tried a product like this before. When I read the description of this product is that it give lashes and brows the beauty treatment they deserve. This product is made with global botanical ingredients from Mother Nature. The benefits of this product that it nourishes, protects, strengthens, repairs, conditions, hydrates, moisturizes, and adds shine to lashes and brows. This product also helps prevents, decreases and treats lash fallout or damage that can be caused by sulfates based eye cosmetics. This can even include some mascaras that you may be using. When I used this product I was afraid that it may irritate my skin. This product did not irrigate me at all which was great. This product is vegan and fragrance and paraben free. This product was quite simple to use. When I applied I put one coat on before I went to sleep. I made sure before I applied this product that my brows and lashes were clean first. It is recommended that you apply this product on clean lashes and brows. This product helped strengthen my lashes and I seen a difference within a week. You can also use this product under the Exotic Eyes Blackest Black Nourishing Mascara.
Overall I was impressed with Global Goddess new products. I really enjoyed trying their Exotic Eyes Blackest Black Nourishing Mascara. This mascara is by far one of my favorite mascaras that I have tried. I would say it would make my top 5. Maybe even the top 3. I like how gently it went on with application and it gave me a nice natural full look. I would definitely purchase more of their products in the future.

The initial stages of tectonic inversion and the mechanisms of selective reactivation and abandonment of pre-existing normal faults during contractional orogenesis are explored in a partially buried Cenozoic thrust belt in the Andes of Colombia. A multidisciplinary approach that includes subsurface structural mapping, multimethod thermochronometry and detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology reveals the extent of a Palaeogene thrust belt buried underneath the Cenozoic strata of the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin. A less oblique orientation with respect to compressive stress and shorter traces in faults of the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin with respect to faults in the western part of the Eastern Cordillera, apparently acted as deformation inhibitors of the Magdalena faults in advanced Neogene stages of inversion. Protracted Cenozoic eastwards tilting of the Central Cordillera and the tectonic load from the uplifting Eastern Cordillera favoured the accumulation of a thick Cenozoic sedimentary sequence in an, at least episodically, closed basin. All the above-mentioned conditions helped to block deformation in the Magdalena Basin, favouring deformation to be taken up by structures in the western Eastern Cordillera. These relationships underscore the importance of buried structural records in elevated hinterland basins, in which the low-relief stratigraphic cover overlies a complex subsurface record, potentially including large magnitudes of deformation during early orogenesis.

Concerns raised at plans for Limerick docks
A MAJOR new plan for Limerick's docklands is "overly restrictive" on city development, a city councillor has said.
Speaking at this week's City Council meeting, Cllr Diarmuid Scully said plans to develop lands around the Shannon Estuary appear to benefit the Clare side.
In a presentation last week, members of the city's planning committee were told that the Docks will remain as a working port, with the site owners, the Shannon Foynes Port Company intending to expand dock-related activity at an "under-utilised asset" in the city.
But Cllr Scully has expressed his concern at the plans, which went on public display last week.
"My concern is this plan is overly restrictive on Limerick City in terms of development. Development does not appear to be as restrictive on the Clare side," he told the meeting.
Six years ago, members of City Council opposed plans to close Limerick Port and redevelop the area with high-rises.
Cllr John Gilligan warned against a return to this: "We have reached a stage where we spent millions building a tunnel to keep the docks open," he pointed out, "We have to be more proactive on this. We cannot allow it to fall by the way-side."
Labour's southside councillor Joe Leddin called on city management to be kept up to speed on development plans around the dockside.
"The Docklands represents a huge opportunity for development. There is a significant amount of lands there, and it offers huge potential," he said.
Northside Labour councillor Tom Shortt expressed his delight at the refurbishment of the Bannatyne Mill building by the Shannon Foynes Port company.
"It is so uplifting to see activity going on, especially by people who are well established in the city," he said.
He also praised Mary Immaculate College, for its plans to move into the former Mount Convent Building in O'Connell Avenue, and the City VEC, which is replacing the windows of the 'Red Tech' building in O'Connell Avenue.
Head of planning and development Gerry Sheeran said the plan gives developers interested in building a clear idea of what will be allowed where.
"The purpose of this plan is to provide development on the biggest estuary in Ireland. The idea is when developers come in, they have a template, so they have a straight run through the planning application," he said.
Cllr Gilligan said plans should be on display in City Hall's foyer, as opposed to offices upstairs, "so ordinary people can see them".

Features at a quick glance:
Following are the three different packages available for a tenure of three years:
- The hatchling cloud priced at Rs.475 per month provides a single domain and supports local caching. With its unmetered bandwidth and unlimited storage, it's been attracting users at large. The CPU is available up to 2 cores and a 2GB RAM.
- The baby cloud priced at Rs.645 per month comes with unlimited domain and 4 cores CPU availability. It has 4GB RAM and supports local caching. The bandwidth and storage are unmetered and unlimited respectively.
- The business cloud is available at Rs.875 per month with unlimited domains and CPU availability of 6 cores and 6GB RAM. It supports local caching and 1 Dedicated IP. Needless to say, its bandwidth and Storage capacity, are unmetered and unlimited respectively
Though this all seems to be great news, the tricky pricing standards and absence of social support channels are a bit disheartening.

Our People
To maximise our impact we need to make sure that we are run by the very best people. Our trustee boards are comprised of local people passionate about nature and their local area but also have particular expertise that contributes to the running of local charities. Trustees are elected by Trust members at Annual General Meetings and serve in a voluntary capacity.
We heavily rely on the dedication and commitment of our 40,000+ volunteers. Without them a lot of our work wouldn't happen and we therefore place emphasise on ensuring they are backed up by an equally dedicated staff team who can engage and lead local communities, our members, businesses, decision makers in the running of our Trusts.
(Above) Wildlife Trusts Chairs in 2015
Our current staff to volunteer ratio is approx 1:18. A survey of TWT salaries in 2011-12 showed that over 60% of TWT staff are paid <£25,000/pa, and just over 1% are paid >£60,000, these all being CEOs.
Our structure also enables (and requires) a large number of Trust staff and trustees thinking beyond their Trust boundaries and supporting work at a national level.

19.01.2017, Joint Press Release
Download of this Press Release dated 19.01.2017 (pdf-file, 357 kb)
Representing hundreds of environmental and health organisations in all 28 European Union Member States and further afield, 14 NGOs are calling for immediate action and answers as to why the Commission have not yet published a strategic approach to address the pharmaceutical pollution of water.
The strategic approach was promised by September 2015 in a 2013 EC Directive 2013/39/EU. Article 8c of the 2013 directive states: " the Commission shall, as far as possible within two years from 13 September 2013 develop a strategic approach to pollution of water by pharmaceutical substances".1
Over 16 months since this missed deadline, HCWH Europe, on behalf of concerned cosignatories, today sent a joint letter to European Commission (EC) President Jean-Claude Junker, Vice-President Frans Timmermans, Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs, and Fisheries Karmenu Vella, and Director General for Environment Daniel Calleja Crespo - expressing concern at the delay of the strategic approach, and calling upon the European Commission to protect human and environmental health.
It is well known that pharmaceutical residues have been detected in surface water, sewage effluents, groundwater, drinking water, manure, soil, and other environmental matrices globally, including within the European Union.2 The presence of pharmaceuticals in water contributes to environmental pollution, impacting on organisms such as fish and vegetation, and may have long-term impacts on human health.3 Pharmaceuticals in water may also contribute to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) - a serious global threat challenging the sustainability of European health systems.4The letter sent today on behalf of civil society is the basis of a new petition as part of the Safer Pharma campaign (www.saferpharma.org), organised by HCWH Europe, to address the delay of the strategic approach which is putting the health of EU citizens and the European environment at risk.
Speaking about the delay, Anja Leetz, Executive Director of HCWH Europe said:
"All experts (including the UN), agree that we are facing a global pharmaceutical pollution problem and we need to minimise the release of medicine into the environment throughout their life cycle: production, use, and disposal. It is unacceptable that the Commission is delaying any action to protect human health and the environment and allowing pollution to continue. It is unacceptable that the Commission delays the process laid down by EU law and we expect the Commission to publish the roadmap swiftly, so we can begin to address the problem of pharmaceutical pollution."
Adela Maghear, HCWH Europe's Pharmaceuticals Policy Officer adds:
"Our drinking water may include an unwanted drug cocktail - a study in the Danube River Basin, spanning 14 EU countries, identified 7,767 chemical compounds, many of which were pharmaceuticals or their transformation products.5 With the European Commission delaying to address this problematic issue, can we really expect a healthy future for us and our children?"
Dr. Peter Kälin, President of Doctors for the Environment, Switzerland says:
"Guidelines for minimising the pharmaceutical pollution of water are very important, especially because of antibiotic resistance. By publishing the roadmap the EU can become a leader in the reduction of pharmaceutical pollution, one we hope Switzerland will follow".
Susan Haffmans, Senior Adviser for Pesticides and Veterinary Pharmaceuticals at Pesticide Action Network Germany states:
"Tonnes of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals like antiparasitica and hormones are used in food producing animals. Those pharmaceuticals contribute to water contamination all over Europe day by day.6 The European Commission must finally come up with their strategic approach, one that will secure an effective reduction of pharmaceutical discharge from animal livestock holdings. Such an approach must tackle the problem at its source, by supporting better husbandry that fosters animal health and well-being and subsequently reduce the need for large-scale pharmaceutical use".
Sascha Marschang, Policy Manager at European Public Health Alliance adds:
"It is crucial that the European Commission takes a holistic and coherent approach to pharmaceuticals in the environment, which recognises the important links between water pollution and the proliferation of "superbugs". A strategy on pharmaceuticals in the environment is urgently required, and it must be clearly linked to the follow-up Action Plan on AMR given that resistant bacteria pose a major cross-border threat to health."

A mortgage broker in Burnaby with more than 25 years of industry experience gained through opportunities in Germany and Canada, Franz Gerber has been helping clients make their mortgage process a quick and smooth one in the area for a long time.
Many people choose to work with a mortgage broker over a bank lender for a variety of reasons. Some enjoy the number of options they are exposed to while others love the personal touch that comes from a relationship with a broker. Franz has identified 4 Great Reasons to Use a Mortgage Broker:
The Power of Choice!
A mortgage broker offers you more options than a bank would. Brokers work with plenty of lenders, all who offer different packages that can be adjusted to fit your specific need. Franz will shop your mortgage to find the best solution that best fits your situation and present you with a list of options for you to choose from. A bank on the other hand may only have two mortgage options for you to choose from which could potentially be unideal for your life at the time.
Franz is also able to secure the best rates because of the vast amount of options available and use it as a negotiation tactic, too.
It's All About You
To a mortgage broker like Franz, you are the most important person. Firstly, Franz provides his full attention to his clients. He works one-on-one with each of his clients to identify their needs and locate a lender who best fits their needs. He cares about your life and what you are paying for your mortgage which is why he makes sure that your mortgage solution is tailored to your specific needs.
Secondly, Franz works for you. He does not work for a bank or other financial institution. That means that all of his advice and guidance is conducted with your best interests in mind. Typically, brokers cost little-to-nothing to clients as they get paid by the lenders once they find a mortgage option that suits their clients.
Brokers Are Experts
Brokers are experts in the mortgage industry, especially ones who have been around for a long time. Franz, with over 25 years of mortgage experience, has gained valuable knowledge that he uses to help his clients every day. With the knowledge obtained over the years he is able to provide accurate, detailed advice on mortgage products, market conditions and interest rates.
Franz has also learned a thing or two when it comes to negotiating your mortgage. Brokers handle all negotiations and as someone who has developed quality relationships with lenders from working in the industry for so long, Franz is a favourite to secure the most competitive rates and terms.
Everything In One Place
With a broker like Franz, clients are able to get everything they need in one place. Rather than shop a mortgage on your own and visit with numerous lenders, Franz does it all for you and presents you with each option at one time. He also offers many different mortgage solutions to help with whatever it is you need, whether it be buying a second house or looking to refinance your current mortgage.

I know this may come as a bit of a shock to you all, but I have a rather strong stubborn streak. I know, I know – you'd NEVER be able to tell from this blog, would you? 😛 Anyhoo, when my new tabletop studio came this week, the words "some assembly required" were (naturally) attached to it, and Beloved was out of town on business.
So I broke out the screwdriver, tape measure and instructions and put it together myself.
Which, yes, is something of note, because while the word "stubborn" is completely appropriate when used to describe me, "handy" and "coordinated" and "good with tools" are not. But I dove in with my characteristic bull-headedness enthusiasm and started screwing pieces together. After 45 minutes of solid cursing, I had assembled…one of the legs that holds the overhead light up. After that, it went a little more quickly, and before I knew it I had both of the legs assembled, as well as the crossbar.
Only to realize I'd put it all together backwards.
So, apart it all came, but this time it went more or less like a house smoldering afire, and while I had a bit of a problem with the fluorescent light fixture and the overhead reflector (did you know you can hold the whole mess up with your head while you screw it in place?), I finally got it all assembled.
And it hasn't fallen apart yet. Yay, me.
And it works, too! (All of these were taken with a Nikkor 60mm 1:2.8G AF-5 Micro lens.)

I've had a couple of people ask me if I take the pictures that accompany the recipes I post. Up until now, I'm sorry to say that with a few exceptions, no I do not – most of them are purchased from iStockPhoto.com. Part of the reason I got the tabletop studio is so that I can begin to document my recipes a little more thoroughly.
I only hope my food photography continues to improve.

Guilty of Speaking in the Park
Eric Hass, editor of The Weekly People, a left-wing paper, was arrested for speaking without a permit in Brooklyn, New York, on this day. He was found guilty three weeks later, on October 20th. Despite the prosecution, however, the assistant director of parks testified that the place where he spoke had long been a public forum and that no permit had ever been denied. This admission suggested that, as the Cold War was intensifying, the arrest of Haas was prompted by his left-wing political views. The ACLU planned to represent him in an appeal of his conviction.
The incident was characteristic of the arbitrary denial of freedom of speech and assembly to left-wing, labor, atheist, or anti-war speakers that prevailed from the time of World War I through the 1960s. On a number of occasions in the early 1920s, ACLU leaders were arrested for trying to read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. See, for example, March 23, 1920 (for attempting to read the Connecticut state constitution; October 12, 1920; and in the most famous incident, the famous novelist Upton Sinclair was arrested near Los Angeles on May 15, 1923 for attempting to read the Bill of Rights.

- They are emerging a strong force having recorded consistent results in the league despite the team not comprising star players as compared to some clubs. Leicester City started with victories and contrary to expectations of many they have been consistent since August 2015 to date. Will Leopards replicate them?
- The league continues this weekend with Ingwe facing Nairobi City Stars on Sunday while league holders Gor are searching for maiden win as they visit Kakamega Homeboyz at Mumias Complex on Saturday
The 13-time champions AFC Leopards are now topping the Sportpesa Premier League table with 14 points with 6 matches having been played.
Leopards did a good fightback to beat Kakamega Homeboyz 2-1 on Wednesday, March 30 at the Nyayo Stadium to overthrown Tusker, who had earlier in the day topped the standings, thanks to their three 3-0 dubbing of Chemelil.
Leopards, commonly known as Ingwe have played six matches, winning four and drawing two thus emerging as a consistent force before and after the arrival of Belgian coach Ivan Minnaert.

Apart from 2010 champions Ulinzi Stars, they are the only side yet to taste defeat this season.
Notably, the team is not made of stars as compared to some clubs in the league and before the start of the season there was mass exodus of good players to other teams including Bandari.
They did the signings last minute and they have a lot of youthful and energetic players. However, on the field, they are showing the passion to play and have already beaten better sides including Bandari and Gor Mahia.
Leicester City in 2014 it was on the verge of collapsing but little restructuring- bringing in new coach and some few players revived the team.
AFC Leopards are proving a point and the arrival of the Minnaert have increased confidence at Ingwe. Leicester City started as joke when the English Premier league kicked off in august but to the surprise of many they are now league leaders with good 66 points.

AFC Leopards, with wrangles aside, is proving to be a force to reckon with and many eyes are on them, will they do the Leicester City style?
Minnaert has stated that the aim is to remain at the top of the standings.
"It is becoming something normal for us to win, but now that we are top of the table we have to maintain the position. This is where we need to be. Aswani is a great striker and can score at any moment, and I am happy that we still have a strong bench with players who didn't play today, but can play on Sunday," said the Belgain after AFC beat Homeboys in Cataluhyia derby at Nyayo
Ingwe now face Nairobi City Stars on Sunday in their next league assignment.

Timing is everything.
When Shawn Eichorst is introduced as Nebraska's new Athletic Director on Tuesday you get the picture there's not going to be too much of a honey moon period.
With his $973,000 salary, Nebraskans are going to want answers. They're going to want to know what his vision and goals are for the future of the Husker athletic department, particularly football.
Eichorst is in a tough spot immediately because his hiring never got the blessing of Tom Osborne or head football coach Bo Pelini.
Something to watch closely is how Eichorst is around Pelini when the two meet for the first time on Tuesday.
Will Pelini be at the press conference? Will he make a statement or talk about Eichort's hiring publicly.
These are interesting times at Nebraska for Eichorst to walk into. Pelini has no doubt done a lot of good here in his five years at NU.
He's brought consistent 9 to 10 win stability, but the thing that's going to be hard to look past are the Huskers recent string of losses. In their last 11 games Nebraska is 6-5, with three of those wins coming against non-BCS or FCS opponents.
When NU gets beat, they just don't lose by a last second field goal. The losses are painful. 63 points given up at Ohio State, 653 yards given up in a loss at UCLA, crazy Hail Mary passes for touchdowns and blocked extra points against South Carolina. I can go on and on.
Ever since Nebraska's 2009 season, the losses for the Big Red have been tough pills to swallow. For the record I think Nebraska can still win at least five of their final six games and have a good chance to get to Indianapolis.
It's a fine line. One week the Huskers are back and the next people are questioning the overall direction of the program. What will the new sheriff in town think of the overall direction of the program under Pelini? Only time will tell.
A four year break from the Buckeyes
This past Saturday's Nebraska-Ohio State game will be the last time these two teams will play each other in the regular season until 2017.
It's too bad it has to be this way. I thought Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch said it best about the two teams not meeting in the regular season for the next four years.
"Having Nebraska in the Big Ten but off the schedule doesn't help unless the Buckeyes meet and beat the Huskers in the conference title game," Hunter wrote. "It's one of the unfortunate aspects of the conference division alignment. The Buckeyes' strength of schedule will suffer with an emasculated Penn State as one of its Leaders Division rivals and Nebraska going off the schedule for four years.
"This isn't good for a Big Ten that has had football credibility problems lately.
"It definitely isn't good for the Buckeyes."
Closed for business
With the off week, don't expect much interview access from the team until the Monday press conference of Northwestern week.
After Saturday's 63-38 loss at Ohio State Pelini even ended his press conference by saying "see you guys in a couple of weeks."
Maybe some time away from the program will be good for everyone. What more can we ask the players and coaches about their loss at Ohio State?
Besides figuring out what's wrong and trying to fix it, the Husker coaching staff will go out on the road and do some recruiting this week. Landing at least one or two quality junior college defensive linemen remains a must for the Big Red going forward.
Around the state
***2014 Millard West wide receiver Skyler Monaghan set a Class A record on Thursday against Creighton Prep by hauling in six catches for 282 yards and two touchdowns. The previous record was 274 yards. Earlier last month the talented junior wide receiver took an unofficial visit to Auburn.
***2015 Omaha North running back Calvin Strong absolutely went off on Friday night in the Vikings win over Papillion La Vista. The sophomore sensation ran for a career-high 298 yards on 23 carries, to go along with two touchdowns. Scary to think how much better this kid can get over the next two seasons.
***Have heard some good things about Grand Island Northwest linebacker Connor Eberhardt. I have not been able to see him play, but GI Northwest routed Aurora 54-0 at their place on Friday night.
***Wahoo running back Tyler Kavan rushed for five touchdowns on Friday in a 41-0 win over crosstown rival Wahoo Neumann.
Three and out
***Earlier last week running back Rex Burkhead tried to shed his knee brace and not wear it during practice. Thankfully NU's training staff made him put it back on, because who knows how much worse his injury could've been if he wasn't wearing his protective brace. We'll get a better idea on Burkhead's outlook Tuesday when we talk to Pelini on the Big Ten Coaches teleconference.
***Really enjoyed my time in Columbus. The stadium and city were first class. Definitely a trip I would recommend to Husker fans in the future when the Buckeyes come back on the schedule in 2017-18.
***As I forecast the schedule going forward, I think Michigan is Nebraska's toughest remaining game, followed by Michigan State, at Northwestern and then Penn State. You have to think the Huskers fare a pretty good in their match-ups with Iowa and Minnesota.
Northwestern and Michigan worry me the most right now because of their dual-threat quarterbacks and offensive systems. PSU and MSU are good match-ups for Nebraska's defense. I'll go with a 9-3 finish for the Big Red, which could get them to Indianapolis still depending on how the tiebreakers fall.

Reclaiming your golf course . . . .
Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate is the most popular and most commonly used material to reclaim sodic soils and treat soils irrigated with reclaimed, sodic water. Please note that this article started with calcium sulfate dihydrate as the source, not calcium sulfate. I want to be clear, there is a huge difference; knowing what you're applying is key to reclaiming your golf course.
Calcium sulfate dihydrate is a form of gypsum that has 2 molecules of water attached to the crystalline structure of the gypsum, where calcium sulfate has NO water molecules attached. This is vitally important because the molecules of water aid in the solubility of the material. Gypsum is just like any other fertilizer when it comes to providing nutrients, it has to solubilize in order to provide nutrients.
High sodic soils and poor quality irrigation water are most commonly found in the southwestern states but depending on the water source, it can be found in other regions of the country. Using a gypsum source that is high in purity, finely ground and then pelletized for precision applications will be your best opportunity to reclaim your turf.
Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil and salts are the soluble nutrient ions in the soil solution. These salts can accumulate in the soil from multiple sources. They can originate from natural weathering of minerals that form the soils, they can accumulate in arid climates with little to no rainfall or from your irrigation source. Evaporation can also bring salty water to the surface, leaving minerals behind.
Sodic soils have very poor structure and tend to develop poor drainage over time because the sodium ions on the clay particles cause the soil particles to disperse. Typically, this results in soils that are hard and crusted-over when dry with poor water infiltration. This can lead to shallow rooting, decreased germination rates, and overall poor stands of turf.
The soil can only be reclaimed by removing the sodium from the root zone by applying calcium sulfate dihydrate to displace the sodium ions and enough clean (if possible) water to flush the sodium from the root zone. Gypsum plays a key role in improving the soil structure by replacing the sodium with calcium that will improve water infiltration.

New video has appeared which shows that Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett did meet up outside after Monday night's Knicks-Celtics game and looked more ready to tangle than just talk. TMZ posted a video of Garnett approaching Anthony inside the Madison Square Garden tunnel where the Boston team bus was waiting and its pretty clear both men were ready to take it to another level. In the video, the players can be seen talking a lot of smack before aggressively approaching each other as swarms of security scramble to keep them apart. TMZ claims the barely audible tape contains a lot of the n-word mixed in with the cursing. Anthony has claimed he was only waiting to talk to the Celtics player after Garnett "crossed a line" by commenting about 'Melo's wife LaLa Vazquez and a heated exchange on the court. Previous video showed 'Melo just standing around waiting for KG like it was "High Noon" at a school bus stop. This video clearly shows that things could have escalated if an army of cops

Kyle Morrison (Lee's Summit, Mo./Lee's Summit West) is on the board.
The rising offensive tackle recently picked up his first offer from New Mexico, and he's hoping to add to that growing list soon. Morrison, a 6-foot-3, 285-pound lineman, isn't taking the New Mexico offer matter of factly, and he is using it as motivation.
"I've been working hard to be able to play college football, and it feels great to see that hard work starting to pay off and get noticed," Morrison said. "It's a great sense of achievement, but at the same time, I am not satisfied with where I'm at. I'm going to continue to work hard and better myself as a football player.
"They [New Mexico] liked the way I finished blocks and got after the defensive linemen from my junior film. They also said I move my feet well in pass protection and when pulling."
Recruited to New Mexico by inside linebackers coach Kevin Cosgrove, Morrison had a chance to show his worth in a recent Lobos camp. He also has been to summer camps hosted by New Mexico, Nebraska, Missouri, Northern Illinois and Indiana. Morrison is hoping to further impress New Mexico -- and other schools -- with a strong showing in the 2012 season. Lee's Summit West, the 2010 Missouri Class 5 state champion, will play Kansas City (Mo.) Staley -- the defending Class 5 champion -- in a game televised on ESPNU on Aug. 25. Staley beat Lee's Summit West, 76-70, in four overtimes in a state semifinal last season considered one of the best in Missouri high school football history.

- Description:
Denavir is antiviral cream developed specifically for the treatment of herpes sores. Studies have shown that Denavir reduces the pain of herpes sores and speeds their healing.
Denavir should be applied several times a day (every 2 hours for 4 days), putting him on the spot where developed herpetic ulcers. Begin to apply it as soon as you feel the approach of cold sores (ie at the stage of skin itch). Studies conducted by the manufacturer showed that the use of ulcer healing Denavir for 4-5 days, whereas without treatment the disease cycle requires 8 - 12-day period.
Penciclovir (trade name - Denavir) has the property to prevent the virus from replicating gerpes simplex, and is therefore anti-virus tool of direct action.
If we apply this tool in the early stages of herpes, it significantly reduces pain and duration of the disease. Many experts believe Denavir is the best way for treatment of this disease.
Remember that herpes is contagious at all stages of development. Therefore, to become not only a carrier but a carrier of the virus, after application to the ulcer medication always wash your hands thoroughly.

First of all, Thank you so much for reading and for the feedback on my last post. Most importantly, our interaction on social media about the pregnancy brain experiences. I loved reading all your funny experiences and it's beautiful and exciting to know that I am not alone in that. I Had a good time for sure
I wore this vivo active wear dress over the weekend for a chilled out afternoon. As I approach the end of this journey, I am literally trying to squeeze in all the fun and hang outs I can before I'm completely exhausted. I love the fact that this dress, as I mentioned earlier about this brand, has an amazing stretching power so I can't wait to dress it up in the future. Totally looking forward to that but for now, let's lay back

Freedom - Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..
Freedom one's own human right
Always highlight it
Freedom of thought is important
Make it a reality in words and actions
Freedom a nice thing always
Where freedom is denied there the hell
Curse is the slavery
Freedom is the dignity of humans
It represents vast areas of thought
In words, deeds, and actions
Also helps us to live in peace
Condemned to live in prison cell
The most difficult thing to imagine
Where the human being is denied
His thoughts, mobility, and liberation
Still men built prison cells
questioning chambers in wrongful methods
Human's own creation of misadventures
Freedom from captivity to an animal
Its most aspiration of wishes
Never make captivity of animals
Unless it is a domestic one
Wild ones are to be given freedom
Jungles and forests are its habitat
Captivity is prison cell to the wild.
Highlight the freedom as it is justice
Make a hue and cry when freedom is denied.
Freedom from the world is last breath
Where our life is departing from soul.

The Exped Trekker Ergo poles are made of stiff aircraft quality aluminum and have a solid locking mechanism that rarely slips. Their distinctive feature is the handles that are angled 15-degrees forward for improved downhill ergonomics. I tested the Trekker Ergo poles extensively, both on and off-trail, and found them to be solidly built, comfortable, and dependable. Their stiffness is great for vaulting across streams, stepping down from rocks and ledges, and supporting a shelter. However, the stiffness adds to trail vibration. These poles are tough and built to last, but heavy at 18 ounces (310 g) for the set.
In Brief
- Ergonomic 15 degree grip angle
- Very stiff – great for shelter support
- Stiffness adds to trail vibration
- Not the lightest at 9.0 ounces (255 g) per pole
- A good value at $79
• Trekking Pole Type
|Collapsible, three sections
• Shaft Material
|Aircraft quality 7075-T6 aluminum
• Tips
• Grips
• Weight (without baskets)
• Pole Length
• Model Year
Usable Features and Ease of Use
Exped poles are anodized inside and out for extra scratch and corrosion resistance. The distinctive feature of the Trekker Ergo over the other Exped poles we tested is that the handles have a 15-degree forward bend for improved downhill ergonomic posture. The poles have large anatomic grips made of EVA foam with "buckle-less" straps. The poles adjust from 28 to 55.5 inches (71-142 cm), and collapse to 27 inches (68 cm). The shafts on the two lower sections are marked from 115-140 centimeters at 5-centimeter intervals, so the desired pole length can easily be set by adjusting both sections to the same mark. Plastic snap-on caps for the carbide tips are provided to prevent damage to other gear. The poles come with two sets of baskets: smaller ones to prevent sinking in soft ground or sand, and larger ones for use on snow. No special options are available for these poles.
Locking Mechanism
Editor's Note: While the Exped Trekker Ergo poles had little problem with slippage, both of the other sets of poles we reviewed from Exped, which have the same locking mechanism, had consistent problems with slippage.
The Exped Trekker Ergo poles have a special expander with dual contact areas for a fast and slip free lock. The poles require moderate force to unlock and slide to the desired setting. They lock easily and firmly. Once they are locked they are solid, with no slippage at all. There is little possibility that the poles will accidentally compress, unless they are not locked tight enough.
Baskets and Tips
The ends of the poles have a hard plastic sleeve with smooth carbide tips. Two sets of baskets are provided: 2-inch (5 cm) diameter baskets for soft ground, and 3.75-inch (10 cm) baskets for snow. The baskets thread tightly onto the pole and do not loosen by themselves. Changing the baskets is as easy as twisting one set off and twisting the other set on.
Grip Comfort and Performance
Grips are large and padded with EVA foam. They are angled forward 15 degrees. Straps are 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide and connect to a hard plastic cap on the top of the grip. They adjust easily and keep their adjustment without the use of a sleeve or buckle.
Usability with Trekking Pole Shelters
|Shelter (pole length needed)
|Usable with this shelter?
|Six Moon Designs Europa 2 (41 in/104 cm)
|Golite Trig 2 (48 in/123 cm)
|MSR Missing Link (54 in/137 cm)
The Exped Trekker Ergo poles are especially suitable for supporting shelters because of their stiffness. Their adjustable range is 28-55.5 inches (71-142 cm). The following table is a list of popular shelters and our assessment of the suitability of the Exped poles to support the shelter:
Weight /Swing Weight
At 9 ounces (255 g) per pole the Trekker Ergo poles are about average weight by conventional standards and heavy by lightweight standards. The balance point is 22.5 inches (57 cm) from the top of the pole. The shaft tapers from 0.7 inches (17 mm) at the top to 0.4 inches (10 mm) at the bottom. The balance point more towards the handle of the pole and moderate taper combine to give these poles a swing weight requiring average exertion on the trail.
Lateral Stiffness/Stability
Exped poles are made of aircraft aluminum, which is claimed to be the ideal pole alloy because of its exceptional stiffness and rebound characteristics. These poles are indeed stiff and only bend about 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) laterally with 25 pounds (11.3 kg) of force. This makes then very suitable for use as a shelter support. I also found them very helpful for rock hopping across snowmelt-swollen streams. Their stiffness allowed me to vault across some gaps I may not have attempted otherwise.
Trail Vibration
Vibration is high due to the poles' stiffness. They are a little noisy on the trail although the foam grips do an excellent job of isolating vibration from the hands.
I used these poles to vault across streams, caught them in cracks, put my full weight on them stepping off of rocks and ledges, accidentally stepped on them, used them to dig a cat hole, and I put a bunch of miles on them. The only damage I have to show for it all is a few scratches. The locking mechanism is solid. These poles are tough and built to last. They should stand up to years of use without failure.
I could find little fault with the Exped Trekker Ergo poles. They are well designed, solidly built, comfortable to use, durable, and perform well – what I look for in a trekking pole. At $79 they are priced $20 less than most of the poles in our review suite – a good buy.
Recommendations for Improvement
The Exped Trekker Ergo poles are solidly built and perform well, but are heavy on the lightweight backpacker scale. I would like to see at least one set of really lightweight poles in the Exped lineup that retain the performance of the Trekker Ergo poles.
