Joseph Pilates pioneered this form of exercise, which has many therapeutic and rehabilitative qualities.
In our everyday life, we often adopt poor posture, such as slumping when we sit, overtime this can lead to pain. Pilates helps you to develop an awareness of your posture, teaches you how to adjust and control your posture and how to correct faulty movement patterns.
In Pilates we strengthen the core muscle groups which are responsible for maintaining good posture. The core muscle groups are abdominals, the back extension muscles and the muscles of our hips and shoulders. Developing strength in these muscles through Pilates, helps us maintain good posture throughout the day and thus reduces pain. Pilates exercises are also great at developing flexibility in our muscles and increasing or maintaining joint mobility.

The Opportunities Party (TOP) founder and leader Dr Gareth Morgan has responded positively to Mr Gray's resignation.
"While we are not a single issue party it is heartening to see a senior member of the ALCP join many other experts and members of the public in endorsing TOP's Real Deal Cannabis reform".
"With our membership now in excess of 3000 we welcome all New Zealanders who recognise the urgent need for evidence based policies to solve the myriad of problems created by timid establishment parties".

Start a strategy to start pushing out positive content about the company or individual performing reputation management services.
Monitor the results and improve with reputation management services.
Final step of reputation management services is to implement measure to stop negative content reaching or staying long on the first page of the search engines.

Reputation management services online is a very labor intensive process. Any approach that is subtle and yet effective will take time, at least three months, before any progress is really seen. This includes many different strategies, which include social media such as:
Blogging – Blogs that are updated every day
Directory listings – Listing a website in directories using optimized keywords
Direct reviews – Hiring someone to write good reviews of the company on websites
Online publicity – Syndicated article writing, links, and banners
Social networking – Posting pages on MySpace.com and Facebook.
Every plan should define reputation management services, but it should also…

Affairs are common place the world over and in my little village it is no different.However, this little tale of bed-hopping goes a wee bit further in terms of OMG and laugh out loud moments.I got to know M and his wife B when we lived next to them. The previous owner of the house we bought warned us B was a little strange, well mad as a March Hare actually, and could be over-bearing. Husband M was as normal as an Queen and Satus Quo fan could be and was something of a motorhead but a genuine good guy.They have two children and it was through them that B got involved in the local school, first the nursery and later the primary and had a very close pal we shall call M2 who was also on the parish council and got involved in everything in the village, secretary, newsletter, all sorts.Well, at some point M got on the parish council too, you think you know where this is going don't you?. Well you are almost right. They had got close over the minutes, while M2 continued to be B's best mate.During the 'any other questions' section at a parish council meeting in the village hall one otherwise mundance night, B's husband raised his hand and asked: "When is the member councillor going to tell the committee that he is shagging the secretary - my wife?" Or words to that effect.As you can imagine there was much jaw-dropping and shaking of heads while the digestives were left uneaten.M denied there was anything going on and remained with B for another year before suddenly announcing he was leaving B, the two kids, cats, dogs and rest of menagerie, to live above the post office with M2.B did not take this well collapsing on the drive of the school one day, telling all and sundry how she had been betrayed by hubby and best pal - a woman scorned indeed.I saw M and M2 walking along the sea wall, hand in hand, a few days ago and they appeared as happy and love sick as a pair of 40 somethings can be in public.But it doesn't end there. Hubby of M2 took up with another girl for solace but it now turns out that said girlfriend, I'll call her E, swings both ways and has embarked on an affair, sordid or otherwise, with the much-maligned B.Whatever next? Not sure but will let you know.

Mae Rosukhon | Complex Life Manager
What is death? Death is a state of finality that dawns on you as someone you love dies. The realisation that you won't get to have any more time or create any more memories with someone. No more conversations, checking in, reaching out, meeting up - the lack of future with someone, in this existence.
When my mother died very suddenly in August 2016, the emotions, feelings, questions about her life and death were overwhelming. Did she have a good life? How did she face her transition out of this world? How can we mark and honour someone's legacy? It's up to us to make our own meanings from someone's passing.
Death gives us the opportunity to look at our lives and relationships. What would happen if I suddenly died? Would I be ok with how I've lived? With the way of how things were in the world? With my relationships with each person I knew?
I have no idea what happens when we die. But I hope I'll get to see the people who've already gone from this world again.

I'm posting part of my response to commentators from the Author Meets Critics panel on my book at Congress 2017.
I'm not posting details of the commentators' comments or my reactions; my thoughts on all that great stuff are making their way into my ongoing work, and I'm immensely grateful to my commentators for their insights and for moving my thinking along. Here, I'm just posting my introduction and conclusion: the frame of my response.
In this frame, I explain why I won't be providing a "defence" of What Love Is And What It Could Be (tl;dr -- I wasn't feeling defensive and the book is indefensible), and I say a bit about how it feels to come to a business-as-usual philosophy event, when one's business is very much not as usual.

That said, if you're seeking something with a little more character and local color than a five-star resort, the home-sharing site seriously delivers. Here are 10 of our favorite Airbnbs on Maui.

Kota's partner organization NFCC International along with the Bushtember Foundation launched their #LetsFaceItPeriod campaign on September 1st with an event at the Centre for Social Innovation in New York City. It's all about menstrual hygiene, the availability of hygienic practices, and better ways to manage it for women around the world.
Investing in women's health, particularly in sexual and reproductive health, is critical for saving lives and reducing ill-health among women and their children; fulfilling their internationally recognized right to good health; and eventually increasing women's education and their contribution to the economy. The lack of hygiene facilities and pads/tampons, painkillers and other supplies contributes to an extraordinary number of missed days of work and school, and in many countries causes girls to drop out of school entirely. Part of the reason is the reluctance of both men and women to bring up the topic in any context.
The campaign aims to start the dialogue on menstrual hygiene management around the world and to break taboos and stigmas that continue to exist in developed as well as developing countries. It also aims at raising funds to support women's health and empowering NGOs around the world that dedicate their work to Menstrual Hygiene Management Programmes.
The festive launch event featured delicious food by ARK Catering, and was accompanied by an impressive group of speakers including Canadian author and artist and Rupi Kaur, whose March 2015 Instagram photo of a fully clothed woman lying in bed with a period stain was deleted twice by Instagram. Her Facebook response to the photo being 'censored by Instagram' made headlines around the world, and she then received an apology from Instagram as the photo was restored. Her photography series around menstruation was created to "demystify the period and make something that is innate 'normal' again."
Other speakers were Tanzanian fashion model Millen Magese and supermodel Mari Malek, founder of Stand4Education. There was also a video message from Kiran Gandhi who recently ran the London Marathon without a tampon while having her period. She did so to raise awareness about women around the world who have no access to feminine products and to encourage women to not be ashamed of their periods – key attributes of the #LetsFaceItPeriod campaign.
The 5 beneficiary organizations that the funding will support are:
1. Femme international
2. Stand4Education
3. Girls Health Ed
4. Make them Visible
5. Huru International
Kota wishes NFCC and the Bushtember Foundation success with their September campaign!

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Inflation in the U.K. rose by 1.3% in October, compared with 1.2% in September, according to data released by the Office for National Statistics on Tuesday. Expectations were for inflation to come in at 1.2%. Smaller falls in costs for motor fuels and air fares, and price rises for computer games were the main factors that drove the inflation rate higher, the ONS said. The pound GBPUSD, -0.3287% gained after the release, trading at $1.5661, compared with $1.5643 ahead of the data. Sterling traded at $1.5650 late Monday.

Here is a little update on my Hindi alphabet project- I have drawn concept sketches for all but one letter and also have drawn final drawings for almost 12 out of 50 letters in the alphabet.
The theme that I chose to work with animals or the living world with a dash of cuteness and wordliness. I am digitally drawing the images so that I can create a power-point for my daughter later to show this on a screen.
Out of the fifty letters in the Hindi alphabet, four are known as khaali (empty) letters. These letters can be part of words but have no word beginning from them. In an online discussion my friend Suzi came up with the idea that these were probably the naughtiest of the letters and therefore could never be in the front of the line. I liked the thought but it wasw hard to represent so I came up with the idea of sad monsters taking these naughty letters away.
As always feedback is welcome. For the complete album CLICK HERE.

We arrived at an ungodly hour of 6am at the Warsaw bus station. M's relative graciously picked us up and took us to their place where we stayed the night.
Warsaw was quite cold. We went to see the old town which was completely rebuilt after WWII. In the old town a gypsy lady passed by me and asked for money, when I ignored her she called me "Kurwa" which means B****! That's why we avoid gypsies!
Anyways we took a stroll around the Lazenki gardens but it was all covered in snow so there wasn't too much to see. Because the sun was shining the ice on the roofs were all melting and falling down to the pavement. M had a close call of having a fist size ice falling on his head! And old lady on a cane almost got locked out as well. this is quite dangerous!
Warsaw is pretty but I think we will nee to come back in the summer to truly enjoy it.
Travel tip: Polskibus seems to have the best prices for travelling around Poland and neighbouring countries. Wifi is provided. Much faster than train travel.

Wow! How did July fly by so fast?! Things are ramping up here at the warehouse as we prepare for some of our biggest customers (Gonzaga and WSU) to come back into session, which nicely correlates with all sorts of exciting new fruits and vegetables coming into season. We've packed the boxes with fruits this week (who doesn't love fruit?) and we also have a big first this week: celery! Now, I'm not the greatest celery lover as a general rule, but this stuff is gooooooood. It has a great crunch and a nice salty finish. I think a farm to table Bloody Mary is in order, using the glacier tomatoes in this week's box. (And check out Spokane's newest distillery, Warrior Liquor, made with locally grown grains malted by LINC Foods if you want to go the extra mile!)

Simple experiment persists, leading to collaborative research at MSU
- Apr 27, 2016
- Faculty & Staff, Research, Students, Microbiology
Neal Hammer (left), MMG assistant professor, and Laura Hesse, MMG junior and College of Natural Science Dean's Research Scholar, discuss the growth phenotypes observed when different strains of S. aureus are co-cultured.
What started as a simple experiment led to the establishment of a new research program at Vanderbilt School of Medicine in 2014 and is now the main focus of Neal Hammer's work at Michigan State University.
The simple experiment entailed mixing together two different mutants of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria to see if they were able to complement each other's growth defects. Researchers found that was, indeed, the case.
"We discovered that not only can staph share metabolites with other S. aureus, but it can share metabolites with many different bacteria," said Hammer, who joined the MSU College of natural Scienc's Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics (MMG) in August 2015 as an assistant professor. "Those interactions are something that we're trying to find and figure out."
The overarching theme of Hammer's lab is threefold: understanding how staph modulates its aerobic respiration, defining the metabolic pathways that support respiration-arrested small colony variants (SCVs) and determining the biophysical properties of the enzymes that allow these SCVs to function in distinct environments.
"If we can figure out the pathways that support respiration-arrested growth, we can potentially design small molecule inhibitors of those pathways and eliminate the ability of staph to develop these SCVs," Hammer explained. "And if we can figure out ways to inhibit staph's ability to aerobically respire, it sets up this 'dual therapy' where we combine potential therapeutics and hopefully eliminate the ability of bacteria to grow."
He noted that SCVs are inherently more resistant to certain classes of antibiotics and are associated with persistent infection.
"Understanding the mechanisms that underlie their physiology could lead to ways to decrease their resistance and persistence," Hammer said. "In general, we're talking about persistent Staph aureus infections—such as those found in people who have cystic fibrosis and people who have previous bone infections or bone trauma."
What he values most about MSU is the diversity in terms of what the faculty study within microbiology.
"Here at MSU there are really good folks who do microbial physiology and metabolism, fantastic people who do pathogenesis, and a great group that does ecology," Hammer said. "Having a wide breadth of experts in these different fields is going to support my research program because if I have a question that centers on one of those areas I can talk to a leading expert in that field. I've already had a couple of fruitful discussions with not only the faculty who study microbial metabolism in this department, but those in the biochemistry department who also study metabolism."
He said he looks forward to much more collaborative research between the various campus groups.
"You never know where science is going to take you, so the potential of collaborating with researchers in ecology, or scientists who are really good at understanding metabolism and metabolic pathways is really exciting," Hammer said.
"It's a great time to be in the MMG department," he added. "There is a lot of active recruitment taking place. The new chair—Dr. DiRita—brings a very enthusiastic approach to science. And it's contagious."

The thought of bonding in a stepfamily can sometimes seem impossible — or at least challenging. Step-parents sometimes fear rejection and bio-parents might anticipate lots of stress or pressure.
But the truth is, bonding can be light-hearted and even fun. Building strong bonds in a stepfamily is all about small steps. It's the culmination of hundreds of little moments all added up that creates secure relationships. It's all about patience and persistence — bonding takes time!
As you think about how you can 'blend' your stepfamily by building close bonds, consider 2 different perspectives.
First, pay attention to all the 1-on-1 relationships. Everyone in your family needs focused time with each individual. For bio-relationships that may mean a couple of hours connecting in a way that is meaningful. For step-relationships it could be a 15 minute activity. And for couples it could be a fun date night activity. Whatever stage you're in, be creative about your intentionality as you support the individual connections in your home.
Second, make some time for everyone to be together. But keep in mind that tensions are often highest when everyone in the family is together. Be strategic with family time based on your unique level of connection as a family. If you notice lots of stress for yourself or others when you're all together — then keep that time short and have an activity like the ones below that holds everyone's attention. If stress is low and connection is high in your family, great! You may want to enjoy more extended time and choose activities that allow for lots of interaction.
With those two thoughts in mind, consider how your stepfamily can enjoy some of the suggestions we've gathered together that can make bonding fun:
Have a Movie Night (at the theater or at home)
Go for a Picnic
Visit a Water Park or Waterslides
Hang out at the local Park or Playground (bring a frisbee for the older kids)

If you grew up in the 90's, you may recall, "Whose Line is it Anyway?" the Improvisation Comedy show hosted by Drew Carey, where studio audience suggest ideas for games and skits performed by Improv artists. Started in Britain, the show aired in the US from 1998 - 2007. In 2013, the show was relaunched with Aisha Tyler as the host along with star performers Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie.
The premise of the show was simple but brilliant: Performers took seemingly simple ideas and made it funny - on the spot! Performers played off each other's cues and then responded quickly and creatively. While the show's success was its ability to make us laugh, it also demonstrated some vital workplace skills:
"Active listening, Thinking on your feet, and Teamwork."
While being able to communicate is important at every stage of life, it's the workplace that serves as its toughest crucible. Between making a sales pitch, giving the elevator speech, attending a job interview or leading a meeting, your communication skills are being tested, often on the spot and with no second chance!
If communication and thinking on your feet plays such a crucial role at the workplace, what can you do to be a better manager, a team player or a sales rep?
Be better equipped, of course!
Designed in a fun way to reduce inhibitions, the team at ArtPropel applies the basic principles of Improv to offer training sessions for the workplace.
Improvisation games like 'Yes, And' help participants understand the power of using positive statements when responding to ideas shared at work, thus encouraging open communication and better decision making.
Similarly, taking part in a game of 'Who, What, Where' teaches players to establish basic information through a three-part conversation, as a way to increase clarity in communication and improve overall efficiency among teams.

Happy dance alert!!!!!!!!!!
B and his boy C fixed my strut yesterday!!!!!!! Being the sort who disapproves of vehicles being on the road that could, at any moment, cause death and destruction (literally) he popped the hood yesterday afternoon. He had a bit of a 'omg' look on his face. The strut mount was gone. Yes, I know, it's been gone for as long as I've had the car – about a year now. B and C took the wheel off, took the strut off to check for any further damage, called Auto Zone and $40.00 and an hour and a half later… it's fixed!!!!!
I went with B to Auto Zone to pick up the part. He kept looking at me as though he wanted to say something so I finally said, "yes?" He kind of blurted out, "Does 4B know how bad this is?!" Yes, he knows. Is he not at all mechanically inclined? Yes, he is.
So he does realize that your front wheel could have come off at any time?
Yes, he did.
More puzzled looks followed by a short discussion on allowing one's wife to drive a vehicle that unsafe. I'd explain it if I had an explanation, but the only one available is – 'that's 4B, I'm only supposed to drive back and forth to work anyway…. and since I was out of work for a month…' ok ok yes, you're right, not the point.
Point now is – it's fixed! My son has his learner's permit and will now be able to drive the thing without fighting the vibrations and worrying about pending doom. My gratitude is overwhelming me right now.
I'm one happy, thankful Redfear!
The heel on sock 1 for WRT (B) is ready to be started. The fingerless gloves are nearly finished. I have them to where I had to put the thumb stitches on a holder and couldn't find anything (not my house, thought it would be rude to wake host to request dental floss in the middle of the night) so….. should have those done this afternoon.

Choosing Between Roof Repair Or Replacement
Posted on: 31 August 2016
Do you have a roof that's started to leak? Have your friends told you that now you need to have a whole new roof put on your home? While a leaky roof does sometimes mean that it's time to get your roof replaced, there's a good chance that you may be able to have it simply repaired instead. A professional roofer will be able to tell you whether or not this is possible, but here are some of the things that they will take into account:
Damaged area: When deciding between roof repair and replacement, the first thing that a roofer will look for is any damaged areas. If only a portion of the shingled area is damaged, perhaps by a large branch during your most recent storm, then your roof is a good candidate for repair. If your shingles are starting to curl with age, it's likely that you'll need a complete replacement instead. If your shingles are falling down with little to no reason, such as with just a light breeze instead of being struck by debris, your roof should probably be replaced.
Leak size: Your roofer will examine the area with the leak in order to try to determine how much water is getting in. A small leak is a good candidate for a roof repair. However, if your roofer discovers more extensive damage, that will point to a serious underlying cause. Even without obvious visible damage, there could be enough reason to rip off most of your roof so that the shingles can be replaced. If the last roofers reused the flashing on your roof, your current roofer may have to pull up all of the flashing and the shingles around it so that new flashing can be installed.
Age: All roofing materials have a limited lifespan. While some roofing materials will last longer than others, replacement is inevitable. Even clay roofing tiles, which are sometimes advertised as lasting for an entire lifetime, may not last any longer than asphalt shingles. If your roof is nearing the end of its normal lifespan, roof repair quickly becomes a financially unsound choice. If you don't have the roof replaced when necessary, you could soon find yourself spending more on repairs than if you had simply replaced the roof outright in the first place. Your roofer will be able to tell you about how much longer your roof will last, allowing you to gather the money to pay for the replacement.
For more information and assistance, contact a professional roof repair company, such as Gulfside Roofing Inc.Share

A Reckless Congress
Democrats want to ram through one of the greatest raids on private income and business in American history.
Say this about the 1,018-page health-care bill that House Democrats unveiled this week and that President Obama heartily endorsed: It finally reveals at least some of the price of the reckless ambitions of our current government. With huge majorities and a President in a rush to outrun the declining popularity of his agenda, Democrats are bidding to impose an unrepealable European-style welfare state in a matter of weeks.
Mr. Obama's February budget provided the outline, but the House bill now fills in the details. To wit,...

OOTD: Daytripper
"You look like you're about to fire someone," a colleague told me, upon my descent from the car at the Sun Life Centre on Fifth Avenue {sounds like the beginning of a New York novel, hrhr}. I was running fashionably late and I was a bit cautious not to hit my head again.
"I wish," I responded, half chuckling. This was the second time that someone told me this observation. I am not sure if it was because I haven't had a full cup of coffee that morning or if it was because I looked scary with a gray and black ensemble that is kind of unusual for me because I always wear something colorful to the office. On both occasions, I wasn't exactly about to fire someone.
As if.
Nevertheless, as it was an ordinary work day, I therefore conclude this outfit is my Daytripper outfit:
The blazer's winning detail are the oversized pockets and deconstructed details.
Dress: From Singapore
Blazer: Pink Manila
Shoes: Promod
Accessories: Nacara South Sea Pearls
PS: I realize I only have one expression. HA!
What's your work wear like?
Shot on location and with permission: The President's Office. Of course, paying tribute to the best dressed president I've ever worked for. *waves* Hi Ms. Riza! Thank you for letting me use your beautiful office. Special thanks to my creative director, Issay Jovellano.

On the fray.
Sweater weather is finally here! I might regret saying this but I am very excited about brisk mornings and cooler temps. My friend and fellow Oak St. Social photographer was cursing me for saying this last week but there it is...I said it.
I'm so sorry for the lack of posts and blog commenting last week. I was up to my ears in work. All good things but I just couldn't make this blog work. Let's see how this week goes! Be patient with me...and my giveaway ends tomorrow. Don't forget!
One of my favorite sartorial combinations has got to be frayed denim and sweaters - as exhibited here. It's perfect for mornings on set. When in doubt, layer it out. I can shed this sweater and just rock my cut offs with a basic tee by afternoon. Instant outfit fix!
I've been reaching for these J.Jill Frye boots often, too. After searching for years for the perfect, slouchy suede boot...I was thrilled to discover these. They're worn in just how I like and look equally as adorable with a long maxi dress as they do with shorts. You can never go wrong with a pair of Frye boots. I have a taller version that I've worn for 16+ years. They're the best!
Since it is Monday, just pair this whole look with a pair of oversized sunnies and you're ready to tackle the day. That's pretty much my cure for no sleep or lotsa sleep - it's the easiest accessory to rock on the hardest day of the week!
Thanks for stopping by - missed you guys!

Ian Halperin, biographer of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has revealed a shocking claim – that Brangelina were never in love! After twelve years together and six kids, the Hollywood couple shocked the world when they announced their split last fall, but it looks like it was about time!
Although recently the drama surrounding them has started to subside as they focus more on becoming great co-parents, it's all about to chance as biographer Ian Halperin's upcoming documentary Broken: The Incredible Story of Brangelina is set to explore the pair's most shocking secrets.
Perhaps the biggest claim of the documentary is that Brad and Angelina were not in love with one another from the very beginning!
Brad once said he is excited for their kids to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith because not a lot of people can see a movie in which their parents fall in love.
Along with experts who analyzed the movie, Ian concluded that the stars fell in love with each other's characters!
'This is extremely dangerous because one day you wake up and you essentially say, 'Who am I with?' You have no idea once you are out of character… you become a complete stranger to the person who you have fallen in love with, and you know nothing about them. It is very common in Hollywood,' Ian explained.
The best-selling author also revealed that even though the rumors are right and the couple are about to reconcile, it's not because they love each other.
Ian explained that Angelina realized Brangelina is worth a lot more together than apart and that if they would ever get back together, it would be for convenience.
What do you think about the author's revelations? Do you agree that Brad and Angelina never really loved each other?

The temperature yesterday was 78 degrees. I have decided that 78 is pretty much the perfect temperature, and that it is a sin to be inside when it is 78 outside. Even though we were at the park in the morning and I kicked the kids outside for lunch, it was still not enough time to satisfy my desire for being outdoors… and so we walked to our favorite place, (for the 3rd time since coming home less than a week ago!) The horse stables. And, I even brought my camera this time because… well… I learned my lesson from our trip; when in doubt, always bring the DSLR.
So many butterflies… the camera caught one below:
Yes, it was a good thing I had my camera; "Take a picture of me with this horse. Take a picture of ME with that horse!" The kids have been so excited about the two new miniature horses; Penn and Tucker.
There is rain in the forecast for this weekend. Until then, I think the horses need visitors again, tomorrow!

How it went down: Smuggling and undercover buys in the Babichenko case
16 Treasure Valley residents indicted for drug trafficking, money laundering after FBI raids
The men of the Babichenko family traveled from Boise to Asia to get the counterfeit phones they later sold in a multimillion-dollar scheme, prosecutors say.
Court documents filed Thursday reveal details about the investigation into the family's alleged Idaho-based counterfeit sales and money laundering ring.
A grand jury indicted members of the Babichenko family — including Pavel Babichenko and brothers Piotr, Timofey and Gennady — and a handful of other Treasure Valley residents on 34 counts of fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. They were arrested Wednesday, as investigators raided their homes and businesses.
Federal prosecutors accuse them of smuggling fake Apple and Samsung phones and other devices into the U.S., repackaging the products in two local warehouses, then selling them online as new and genuine.
People who believe they bought the counterfeit devices can get more information and contact investigators at justice.gov/largecases.
Prosecutors say the scheme began more than a decade ago. "The scope of this conspiracy is vast," they argued in a request to the court to keep some of the Babichenkos in custody until their trial.
They claimed the family operated more than 100 businesses to sell the fake devices to thousands of people. At least one business that sold cellphone cases and was named in the indictment still had active listings on Amazon as of Friday.
The Babichenkos didn't order the fake devices to be shipped to Boise, prosecutors said. Instead, Pavel, Piotr and Timofey Babichenko traveled from Boise to China and Hong Kong to get their supply, which the indictment says they smuggled into the U.S.
FBI and Homeland Security agents bought the counterfeit Apple and Samsung devices more than 14 times through Amazon and eBay between November 2015 and December 2017, the document said.
It's not the first time the Babichenkos and associates have been accused of wrongdoing in their mobile-phone businesses. They were sued twice a decade ago by phone carriers TracFone and Virgin Mobile.
But it was a confidential informant's help that brought investigators face-to-face this time with Pavel Babichenko and David Bibikov.
The investigators made three "hand-to-hand, undercover purchases directly from (Babichenko and Bibikov) at the two Boise, Idaho warehouses," the court document said. It didn't say how many of the devices were bought in each transaction, but that they were "bulk" purchases.
The confidential informant said "he would then individually resell" the devices through Amazon and eBay, it said.
The Babichenkos are in custody until next week, as they await a hearing on whether they can be released on bond.
Prosecutors based their argument that the Babichenkos are a flight risk partly on their history of travel to Brazil. They own multiple apartment buildings in Brazil that were purchased with the ill-gotten gains, according to the indictment.
In the latest document, prosecutors said the men "are building eponymous condominiums with the proceeds of their counterfeit goods trafficking."
The brothers had gone to Brazil at least three times in the past four years, prosecutors said.
In fact, they said, the Babichenkos just returned from a trip to Brazil on Monday, two days before the FBI descended upon their homes and businesses.

Israeli Athlete Adds Name to Olympic List in London
by Algemeiner Staff
Misha Zilberman qualified for the London Olypmics as Israel's first representative in the Badminton event.
Last month, standing 1,500 ranking points outside of the final qualifying position, Zilberman completed a magical run to the finals of the Tahiti Air Nui International to sneak into the qualification list released by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) earlier this week.
Despite losing the final in 2 games to Malaysian Tan Chon Sueng, and dropping his bid to win a first international title, Zilberman's four tournament wins landed him the qualification spot, just 96 points clear of the benchmark.
Zilberman, whose mother won bronze in the women's badminton event at the 1986 European Championships, said the qualification was a "most sweet ending" to a year of hard work, yet, declared, "now I have to keep working hard to get ready for London and to represent my country honorably."
Related coverage
Ranked 64th in the world, Zilberman will join tennis star Shahar Peer and Judo champion Alice Shlesinger, and 40-50 other athletes representing Israel in London this summer, hoping to build on their one bronze-medal performance in Beijing 2008.
Since first visiting the Olympics in Helsinki, 1952, Israel has won 7 medals, with Gal Fridman winning Israel's only gold medal at the Men's sailboard event in the 2004 Athen's Games.

This can be challenging, especially in a mediation, where spouses participate more actively in the negotiation of their own settlement. What are the best ways of working with this kind of disparity in spouses' financial sophistication, while maintaining a commitment to a reasonable settlement process?

"It burns my heart to see other children walking when my son can't," Farid's father, Ahmad, told us. His two year old son was born with clubfoot on his right foot. "My cousin had quadruplets around the same time that Farid was born. They all started to walk, and it took Farid until he was one year and nine months old before he could stand on his two feet."
Life in Syria
Ahmad is visibly moved when he tells us this. As a Syrian refugee, he and his family have struggled for years. When his wife found out that she was pregnant, he hoped for a happier future for his family. But, to Ahmad, it feels like tragedy follows them.
Ahmad and his family lived in a small town in Syria. They had to flee when a huge massacre took place in 2013. They were lucky to escape with their lives, and moved to a nearby village, hoping that they would manage to escape the violence of the war. It wasn't long before the fighting caught up with them, as an airstrike landed on their neighbor's house.
"My children had nervous breakdowns after that day," Ahmad tells us, stoically holding back his tears. He decided that he would need to get his family out of Syria in order to find safety. The journey was dangerous, and he doesn't tell us a lot about it, except that they had to work with a team of men who smuggled them out of their area in Syria to one near to the Lebanese border.
Seeking safety in Lebanon
The family crossed the border and filed their papers with the Lebanese government. They found a house through a local NGO, but the house is still under construction. "It has no doors or windows," Ahmad explains. But he is happy that his family at least have somewhere to sleep.
Farid's birth
When his wife Rajaa became pregnant, they were ecstatic at the thought that their newest child would grow up not knowing the horrors of war. But this came crashing down around them when Farid was born with clubfoot.
"When he was born I noticed that his foot was crooked," Rajaa explains. "We asked the doctor about it but she told us that it was ok, and that he'd get better on his own." But as Farid grew older and didn't begin to walk like other children his age, the family knew that they should look for a second opinion.
Doctors informed the family that Farid had clubfoot. After learning this news, his parents did everything they could to provide him the treatment needed. They used up all their savings taking him to physiotherapy sessions, casting, and bought lots of equipment. "We used everything up, but he still didn't recover."
Finding INARA
His family had started to lose hope that their son would ever be able to walk properly. But a friend of a friend recommended that they approach a doctor at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC), Dr Taha. He is one of the doctors that we work closely with on our orthopedics project, and he told the family about INARA.
As with our other cases, Farid will go through a series of casting sessions over the next six weeks. Thereafter, he will have an Achilles tenotomy, and be fitted with a brace for up to two years. This should ensure he can walk properly, without pain.
At two, Farid is one of our oldest clubfoot cases. His family are very relieved that he will now be getting the treatment he needs, and look forward to the day when he walk with ease.
Farid's treatment was funded by UNICEF.

Recalling the first Irish Volunteer to fall in action
Dramatic rescue bid led to first Volunteer killed in action during the War of Independence, writes Alan O'Keeffe
The centenary of the death of the first Irish Volunteer killed in fighting in the War of Independence will be commemorated this Saturday.
Robert 'Bobby' Byrne was a patient in a hospital ward when he was shot during a daring attempt by comrades to free him from the custody of five armed policemen and a prison officer.
One of the RIC constables was shot dead and another policeman seriously wounded at the Union Workhouse hospital (now Saint Camillus Hospital) on Shelbourne Road in Limerick on April 6, 1919.
Byrne, bleeding from his wounds, escaped the hospital with IRA volunteers but died that night in a house two miles away in Knockalisheen, Meelick, Co Clare.
In the aftermath of the dramatic event, Limerick was placed under a form of martial law known as a 'Special Military Area'. The trade union movement in the city reacted to army control by starting a 'General Strike against British militarism'. The strike became renowned as 'The Limerick Soviet' and lasted two weeks.
The centenary event this Saturday will be held at a monument to Byrne at Knockalisheen. A number of people in Irish Volunteer uniforms from the War of Independence period will attend, a piper will play a lament, there will be wreath laying. MC Cathal Crowe, a local Fianna Fail councillor, said that while local members of all the main political parties will attend, it will be a non-political community event, organised by the Meelick-Parteen and Cratloe War of Independence Commemoration Committee.
Local Fine Gael supporter Johnny White said: "It's an important centenary. We were always aware that the first Irish volunteer killed in action in the War of Independence had died in our parish."
Local historian and author Dr Padraig Og O Ruairc, who will deliver an oration, told the Sunday Independent that Byrne (28) was president of the Limerick branch of the Post Office Clerk's Trade Union and was adjutant of the 2nd Battalion of the then IRA's Limerick Brigade.
Born in Dublin, he grew up in Limerick. He was arrested after guns were found in the family home in January, 1919. He and other republican prisoners went on hunger strike in Limerick Prison seeking political status.When his health began to deteriorate, he was transferred to hospital.
A plan to free him was activated when two armed IRA Volunteers and more than 20 unarmed Volunteers entered the hospital and went to the ward where Byrne was kept. Michael 'Batty' Stack, armed with a revolver, signalled for his comrades to overpower the policemen and prison warder.
Constables Martin O'Brien and James Spillane managed to draw their guns. In the desperate struggles that followed, Constable Spillane jumped on Byrne as he began to get out of bed. Byrne received a gunshot wound to the chest. Then Stack shot Spillane
#bb-iawr-inarticle- { clear: both; margin: 0 0 15px; }
Bullets were flying in the violent melee, hitting the walls and one ricochet damaged a Child of Prague statue nearby. Amid the commotion, patients, visitors and hospital staff ran for cover.
Volunteers struggled to overpower the remaining policemen. Constable O'Brien, drew his gun but was shot and died shortly afterwards.
Byrne was helped down the stairs and out of the hospital by two comrades who commandeered a pony and trap near the hospital. He was taken to the house of the owners of the trap, John Ryan and his wife Margaret, who lived at Knockalisheen.
Though he received medical attention, he died in the Ryan home that night.
His funeral at Saint John's Cathedral in Limerick was one of the biggest in the city. Thousands of people, local dignitaries, and even British troops lined the route as a military aircraft patrolled overhead. A small park in Limerick is named in his honour.
Constable O'Brien received a large funeral in his home town of Birr in Co Offaly.
Dr O'Ruairc said Saturday's commemoration marked a significant event in the fight for Irish independence.

We all strive to sustain a balanced life-style – no matter whether it really is keeping a healthful work/life balance discovering the perfect balance in between being a couch potato or a gym rat or consuming a balanced diet program. If just 1 or two dieters claimed 310 Shakes tasted much less than desirable, we'd appear previous it, but we identified the identical report numerous instances. Shakes with soy are not as simply assimilated as whey shakes but are comparable to meat and milk in digestibility. I'm 46 years old and I want to lose 30 to 40 pounds of fat although receiving my muscle definition back.
Physicians even follow my plan to decrease their own risk of heart illness, stroke, diabetes, and specific types of cancer which are lifestyle associated. IsaLean Shakes also include Ionic Alfalfa—our proprietary alfalfa juice concentrate enriched in ionic minerals to preserve the physique running at peak functionality. The shakes which provide the consumer with far more vitamins and healthier ingredients often occasions strengthen the immune method and aid the body in defending itself from illnesses. If you order 310 Shakes from the product website, you have the alternative to make a a single time buy or grow to be a Preferred Client.
Certainly, in PN V4 we've got far more than 20 Super Shake combos developed and battle-tested by the Precision Nutrition Group members and community. The saturated fat content is 1 g, total carbohydrate content is 2 g, sugar content is 1 g and sodium content material is 60 mg. The whey nutrition shake supplies 10 % daily value, or DV, for calcium, according to MyFitnessPal. As you continue your education program, do not start with drinking 2 shakes a day if you are not accustomed to whey protein. Magnesium is a element of the mineralized component of bone and is required for the metabolism of potassium and calcium in adults.
I am not aware of any research on the 310 Prebiotic supplement assisting weight loss or altering the bacteria inside the human physique. I'd like to see your daily meal plan consist of 3 nutrition shakes, 1 serving of STRONGEVITY Rx, and two protein and carbohydrate balanced, portion controlled meals. Modern day Nutrition in Wellness and Illness, 9th ed. Baltimore, MD: Williams and Wilkins 1999:283-303. These protein recipes had been developed with a fantastic deal of trial and error, and they actually do perform and taste fantastic as well.
But if you comprehend that you shouldn't exceed a maximum quantity of calories per day then diet regime shakes are wonderful as a complete meal, complete of nutrition and fill you up. For a full meal strategy – verify out my 7 Day Diet Plan to boost your weight loss even a lot more. Furthermore, studies have shown that a 1:1 protein-to-carbohydrate ratio supports weight loss and provides sustained energy for healthful weight loss. For example, weight education on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and cardio on Tuesday, and Thursday with the Saturday cardio workout being optional.

Nomura has been very cagey about Kingdom Hearts 3D, recently announcing that he plans to add "3" new elements to the game, one of which is the 3D capabilities.
However, he's now shed a little bit more light on this by saying that he hopes both the gameplay and story will be connected to a future iteration in the franchise, Kingdom Hearts 3.
To further tease, he said there is a "possibility" that the story in Kingdom Hearts 3D will lead into the story for Kingdom Hearts III.

State of the Union 'response' often a mixed-blessing for the responder
Wednesday, January 26, 2011; 12:36 AM
Two House Republicans offered back-to-back responses to the State of the Union address Tuesday night - both bashing President Obama for ballooning government budgets but offering few specifics for solving the problem.
The first came from Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.), who offered the GOP's official response. Ryan's message was a stark reply to Obama's speech, in which the president had repeated the words "We do big things" to emphasize the American capacity to overcome.
America, Ryan said in response, was about to be overcome - by the pressures of its growing debt.
"A few years ago, reducing spending was important. Today, it's imperative," Ryan said, speaking from the House Budget Committee room. He said that without action, the United States could soon face the same crises that have crippled Ireland, Greece and other European countries. "We face a crushing burden of debt. The debt will soon eclipse our entire economy and grow to catastrophic levels in the years ahead."
After Ryan spoke, Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) gave a speech described as the tea party response to Obama's address. She showed only hints of the strident rhetoric that has made her a national media figure: She called the new health-care law "Obamacare" several times but never "socialism."
Bachmann, like Ryan, called for the repeal of that health-care overhaul. But beyond that, neither gave many details about how to make potentially unpopular cuts in federal spending.
Instead, both made the same pledge: We're working on it.
"We can do this. That's our hope. We will push forward. We will proclaim liberty throughout the land," Bachmann said as a screen behind her showed a copy of the Constitution. "And we will do so because 'We the People' will never give up on this great nation."
This was an unusual reprise of a 45-year Washington tradition, in which the opposing party sets out to rebut the president on a night when the president holds all the cards. Obama, like presidents before him, had the grand backdrop of the House chamber. He had the best line: "The state of our union is strong!" And he had the early time slot, starting a few minutes after 9 p.m.
This year, the dueling responses probably made it even harder for either Republican to be heard.
Would viewers remember Ryan, using only his expressive face to convey worry about the debt? Or would they remember Bachmann's screen, which showed bar graphs and patriotic images behind her? At one point, she showed the iconic photo of Marines raising an American flag over Iwo Jima in World War II.
"Our current debt crisis we face today is different," Bachmann said, "but we still need all of us to pull together."

DUP chief stayed the course in North's coalition
Peter Robinson served a 38-year apprenticeship in the shadow of that colossus of Northern politics, Ian Paisley.
He was aged 59 when he finally got to lead his party and the North's stuttering devolved government in 2008. But he has come well through a series of tricky times - not least the infamous sex and property scandal involving his wife, Iris, which many people felt would end his career.
In 2010, he stood aside from the post of First Minister after revelations that Iris was involved in controversial land and money deals linked to her affair with a man 40 years her junior.
Investigations cleared him of any wrongdoing, and despite jibes about the 'Swish Family Robinson', the DUP persisted with him as leader, although he lost his Westminster seat in staunchly Protestant East Belfast due to "Irisgate".
He was a founder member of the DUP in 1970, served as Paisley's assistant and party secretary general, before slowly developing his own parliamentary career. He will long be remembered for his flirtation with paramilitaries in the mid-1980s and he was arrested by gardaí for leading a group of loyalist thugs to "invade" Clontibret, Co Monaghan, in August 1986.
Despite the long wait to finally lead his party and the North's shaky government, he can point to having achieved something simply by staying the course. He faced down would-be rebels in his own party and took risks to agree devolution of policing and justice powers from London.
More recently Mr Robinson withstood pressures over IRA links with Sinn Féin, keeping the North's fragile institutions in play. The new deal is hailed as a breakthrough, though it is as yet untested.
Long seen as sarcastic and aloof, his confessional speech about his wife's affair surprised many for its frankness and humanity.
Irish Independent
