Bowhunting has been Scott Alberda's passion for over 20 years and is what led him to establish Bow and Arrow Adventures. Over this time he has become acutely aware of the many challenges serious bowhunters must contend with to find the specific type of bowhunt they are searching for. During his hunting adventures over the last 20 years or so, he has listened and learned from some of the most knowledgeable hunters in the field.
It is his personal goal to use this knowledge so that our clients can enjoy the same "hunts of a life-time ", that he has enjoyed. While hunting many different locations across North America, Scott is continually researching those areas which produce the absolute very best trophies for our clients. Scott is happily married to the most amazing women he has ever met and is fortunate to be the father to an incredible daughter who also enjoys the outdoors. They are active in their Church and are so very fortunate to have a loving Church family. God is so good!!!
Bowhunting is not just a hobby for Scott. It is truly a way of life that has become a business. He is fully confident that his guiding and bowhunting background will greatly assist in helping you accomplish your personal bowhunting goals.
Scott is a proud member of the Pope and Young Club.
For the past 21years as a full-time outfitter, R.L. Foster has dedicated himself to doing one thing exceedingly well. That is to consistently put his bowhunting clients on trophy whitetail bucks.
His hard work has paid off with well over 100 of his bowhunting clients harvesting bucks which meet or exceed the Pope and Young minimum, and nearly a dozen which grossed over the Boone and Crockett minimum of 170''.
Having taken his first buck at the age of 13 , R.L. brings 40 years of whitetail experience to each of the hunts he operates. His passion for locating big bucks has led him across most of the country, but primarily his hunts take place in the top trophy- producing states of the Mid-West.
In the past few years as his reputation has grown within the hunting industry, he has had the opportunity to work as a consultant, assisting other outfitters who are either establishing new or fine tuning their existing bowhunting operation." My personal experience as an Outfitter, along with my time spent working and hunting with Outfitters throughout most of the Western states, has given me invaluable insight as to what is required to conduct a top-shelf bowhunting operation".
When not guiding himself, he makes it a point to do as much bowhunting as his schedule allows. Since 1990 when he made his first of three trips to Idaho, he has been blessed to have had the opportunity to bowhunt big-game throughout most of the Western states and whitetail throughout the Mid-West, the South and Texas." For me bowhunting spring bear in Alaska and Western Canada comes in a close second to chasing monster whitetails".
R.L. is a proud Regular Member of the Pope and Young Club.

I am so thankful for Dr. Little!"- Mitchie S.

"Before I came to Dr. Little, my back was in constant pain. I had been to my family doctor and to a physical therapist... had x-rays performed on me and none of them could see where the pain was coming from, nor stop my chronic pain.

Artist: Jennifer Chen
Exhibition: SUCCESSION
Media: Print studio
Gallery: CSULB School of Art, Gatov Gallery West
Website: No Website
Instagram: No Instagram
This week for our artist conversation, I got the chance to meet Jennifer Chen. This is currently her last year here in California State University Long Beach. She is an undergraduate here at CSULB and used to be a Biology major until she realized her interests were focused more on art. She has a lot of different interests other than biology that she thinks will help her grow in different ways. This Printmaking program Chen is in is a way to help her reflect, express, and connect herself to the different art pieces she creates. Her art works explore the idea of the disturbance of landscapes or monuments that has been changed over time by nature itself. Besides Chen's work in digital printing, she worked in a Bio corps and small, midsize companies that help people revolve around the health business. Chen's plans in the future are to teach the Art 270 class here in CSULB where she gets to not only help others pursue their interest in art, but also gain more money!
Chen's artworks consist of an image she searches from Google Maps or of what she takes using her own camera. She prints out these landscape pictures on Epson and spends a lot of time photoshopping these images. She then finalizes her work, prints it out using a silk screen to create her stencil before she starts painting from there. At the end, Chen would use a gloss to lay over the art piece to make it look 3-dimensional. All of her art pieces are fairly similar yet different. She uses a lot of colors such as green, pink, white, grey and more. Most of her works have a lot of bits and pieces that are jagged and very blotchy. Other works such as the green and pink one has a lot of rectangles, straight lines, but once looking closer can see the crooked and jagged lines. This is due to her photoshopping these pieces because she cuts and pastes these images everywhere, giving it a very jagged look. The texture on all her work are very shiny and glossy because of the gloss layer she adds on them.
Chen's artworks are about the changes that happens to nature's landscape after disturbances such as floods, fires, etc. Overtime, these landscapes changes and she tries to capture these different changes into her art. An example Chan gave us was that overtime these landscape changes from weeds being grown to shrubs and trees. Not only does Chen create pieces that show the overall change in a landscape, she also makes pieces that magnifies something you don't notice in every day life. An example would be the piece where she magnifies a piece of bark and she tries to capture the qualities it has that people do not often take notice of. She hopes that whoever sees her work will take notice of the changes and/or disturbances the nature takes on different landscapes.
I thought Chen's work was pretty interesting because of the process she goes about in creating her pieces. I notice a lot of artists either use only paint, color pencils, spray paint, markers or etc to create their pieces however, Chen's way of using digital printing and coating it with gloss is very intriguing on my part. Her work of the disturbance of landscapes resonates with my life because I usually don't take notice of how drastic nature can change within a matter of years. Since I live in an area with a lot of hiking trails, trees, and greenery I usually take these beautiful sites and views for granted. I see how in the fall, the colors start to fade and as spring time comes, everything is in full bloom! This made me realize that sometimes I do take things for granted and should be more grateful for what I have around me.

Powell Gardens celebrated Missouri Arbor Day by planting a grove of 27 lindens (Tilia spp.). It was a typical Missouri Arbor Day with cloudy skies and a cool breeze.
Missouri Arbor Day is celebrated by Powell Gardens' staff and volunteers gathering together at morning break. This year's honorees were the members of KMOS TV and 90.9 The Bridge who pledged an extra $5 each. These extra pledges help establish a fund for tree planting at Powell Gardens to offset the stations' carbon footprint.
Here Powell Gardens' Director Eric Tschanz (right) and Senior Gardener Janet Heter place the first shovel of soil. Janet led the program with her "Top Ten Reasons to Celebrate Arbor Day:"
10. Trees are TREEific.
9. Trees provide a cool and beautiful place to live, work and play.
8. Trees improve our air and water quality.
7. Trees are renewable resources for paper, fuel and countless wood products.
6. Trees reduce heating and cooling costs.
5. Trees increase property values.
4. Trees provide habitat for wildlife.
3. Trees are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
2. Trees enrich our lives.
1. PLANT a TREE!
Janet closed with this poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes:
"When we plant a tree we are doing what we can to make our planet a more wholesome and happier dwelling place for those who come after us, if not for ourselves."
KMOS TV and 90.9 The Bridge were represented by Dr. Don Peterson, Director of Broadcasting Services (left), and Mark Pearce, Coordinator for Corporate and Community Support (right). Each lent a hand with a shovel of soil.
The new linden grove is on the right (east) side of the road to the Powell Gardens chapel. You can see the Heartland Harvest Gardens nursery in the distance.

I believe each of us has much more spiritual power—more magickal power—than we give ourselves credit for. There are spells for invisibility, for patience, for letting go…there are all kinds of spells that can serve us if we only begin to understand how they work.
The patience spell is simple. Ever been stuck in traffic? Ever arrive at an event only to find a huge line for tickets or food or bathroom? Sure you have. It is at these times you can use the patience spell. It simply involves connecting all of the unlimited patience of the universe into your life at that moment. In becoming mindful at this moment, you realize that, from the perspective of Eternity, your situation is very small and will quickly pass.
It is important to modify your behavior at these moments so that the spell will work. You can't just call upon the universe and sit there, expecting to be saved. Instead, as you wait in traffic, find a good radio station, make a "to do" list (as long as traffic is not moving, of course), or sort through the junk in your briefcase.
I can't tell you how many times I've used this spell and how wonderfully it works. There will be times when I arrive at a particular point to find many people in line, but instead of becoming frustrated, I cast the patience spell and distract myself. Then, when I return to the situation, I almost always find that the line is gone or the traffic has abated. It works almost every time.
It will definitely make your life more enjoyable. Welcome to the world of magick.

BERGERAC, a town of south-western France, capital of an arrondissement in the department of Dordogne, on the right bank of the Dordogne, 6o m. E. of Bordeaux on the railway to Cahors. Pop. (1906) town, Io,545; commune, 15,623. The river is rendered navigable by a large dam and crossed by a fine bridge which leads to the suburb of La Madeleine. Apart from a few old houses in the older quarter by the river, the town contains no monuments of antiquarian interest. There is a handsome modern church built in the middle of the 19th century. Bergerac is the seat of a sub-prefect and has tribunals of first instance and of commerce and a communal college. Wine of fine quality is grown in the district and is the chief source of the commerce of the town, which is mainly carried on with Libourne and Bordeaux. There is trade in grain, truffles, chestnuts, brandy and in the salmon of the Dordogne. The town has flour-mills, iron-works, tanneries, distilleries and nursery-gardens, and it has manufactures of casks and of vinegar. There are quarries of millstone in the vicinity. In the 16th century Bergerac was a very flourishing and populous place, but most of its inhabitants having embraced Calvinism it suffered greatly during the religious wars and by the revocation of the edict of Nantes (1685). It was in 1577 the scene of the signing of the sixth peace between the Catholics and Protestants. Its fortifications and citadel were demolished by Louis XIII. in 1621.End of Article: BERGERAC

Tony Fadell Denies Buying Product (RED) Mac Pro and Gold EarPods
Tony Fadell, former Apple executive, says he's not the person that purchased a Product (RED) Mac Pro and a pair of gold EarPods. Earlier this week, a few photos were posted on Twitter by Kevin Abosch, showing Fadell with both items mentioned above. These photos led to the rumors that he was the owner of one-of-a-kind Mac Pro and EarPods. And that is not true.
According to
Though he was pictured holding the items, former Apple executive Tony Fadell has revealed he did not purchase a Product (RED) Mac Pro or a set of gold EarPods at a charity auction.
"To be clear, I'm not the owner of either," Fadell wrote on Twitter. "The real owner will reveal themselves if they so choose."
Product (RED) Mac Pro and a pair of gold EarPods were sold for nearly $1,5 million at a charity auction in October. The name of the person, who spent such a sum of money on two exclusive lots is still unknown.

All U.S. citizens need an Uzbekistan visa for entry into the country regardless of the purpose of their trip. If you are planning a trip to Uzbekistan, you must secure your travel visa before you arrive at an embassy or consulate.
Visas are not issued on arrival. If you are traveling on a tourist visa, you must stay at a hotel for the entire length of your stay in Uzbekistan. You cannot stay at a private residence.
When you apply for your visa, you have to indicate the length of your stay on your application. The length of stay will be indicated on your Uzbekistan visa, and you will only be allowed to remain in the country for that amount of time.
If you are staying in Uzbekistan for more than three business days, you must register your visit the Office of Entry, Exit and Citizenship upon arrival. If you are staying at a hotel, the hotel will automatically register you when you check in.
However, if you are not staying at a hotel, you must register yourself. If you do not register, you are subject to fines and imprisonment.
When you apply for a visa, you will be required to submit a variety of forms and supporting documents, so your application can be processed. The items you must provide vary based on the type of visa for which you are applying.
However, listed below are documents that are commonly required for the issuance of an Uzbekistan visa.
This list is not meant to be all-inclusive. There are additional requirements depending on the purpose of your trip. For the most up to date visa requirements, visit the website of the Embassy of Uzbekistan.
NOTE: Applying for a visa does not guarantee issuance. Officials have the right to deny your visa request for any reason.
Submitting Your Application
After you have completed your visa application form and gathered the required documentation, you can either submit it in person at the embassy or consulate or by mail.
If you submit your Uzbekistan visa application by mail, you must include a USPS Express Mail or Fed Ex self-addressed, prepaid return envelope so your passport can be returned to you after your visa is issued. In general, processing time for applications varies from three to seven business days.
All visa fees are payable by cashier's check or money order only and are non-refundable. Fees vary based on the type of visa for which you are applying and how quickly you need your application processed.
Visa Service
It is very important that you provide all of the required documentation with your visa application, so it can be processed quickly. Even a small mistake can delay the issuance of your Uzbekistan visa and possibly your travel plans.
When you want to make sure your application is completed correctly, a professional visa service like "company name" can help. Visa companies are authorized by foreign embassies and consulates to submit applications on behalf of their clients.
Visa services have large databases of the most up to date visa requirements, making it easy for you to identify the documents you need to submit with your application.
In addition, there are representatives available to answer all of your questions, so you can quickly get the information you need to complete your application. Some companies even have representatives available twenty four hours a day to respond to customer inquiries.
After you have completed your application, send it to the visa service, and they will take care of the rest. Upon receipt, a representative will review your Uzbekistan visa application materials to ensure you have provided all of the necessary information.
After review, it will be submitted to the embassy or consulate for processing. When your visa is issued, it will be mailed to you, so you can leave for your trip as planned.

Obama officially endorses Hillary Clinton
His endorsement came after meeting Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders who has been battling Mrs Clinton for the nomination.
Speaking in a video tweeted out by Mrs Clinton, Mr Obama said she may be the most qualified person "ever" for the role of president.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren also endorsed Mrs Clinton on Thursday.
"I am ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for Hillary Clinton to become the next president of the United States," she told MSNBC, "and to make sure that Donald Trump never gets any place close to the White House."
President Obama and Mrs Clinton are set to start campaigning together soon.
"I want those of you who've been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that 'I'm with Her.' I am fired up and cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary," Mr Obama said in the video.
"Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders may have been rivals during this primary, but they're both patriots who love this country and they share a vision for the America that we all believe in."
The two ran against one another for the Democratic nomination in 2008 and Mr Obama later made Mrs Clinton secretary of state.
Speaking to Reuters following the endorsement, Mrs Clinton said Mr Obama's endorsement "means the world".
"It is absolutely a joy and an honour that President Obama and I, over the years, have gone from fierce competitors to true friends," she said.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump tweeted that Mr Obama's endorsement means he wants "four more years of Obama" and "nobody else does".

2 suspects, 4 victims in Tel Aviv terror attack identified
The four people killed after a pair of gunmen opened fired on at an upscale market in Tel Aviv Wednesday night have been identified by Israeli police.
They are:
– Idan Ben Arieh, 42, from Ramat Gan, which is east of Tel Aviv
– Ilana Naveh, 39, from Ramat Gan
– Michael Faiga, 58, from southern Israel
– Mila Meshayev, 32, from Rishon LeZion, which lies just south of Tel Aviv
They died after two shooters,identified as Palestinians,opened fire at the Sarona Market–a popular food and shopping complex near the Israeli Defense Ministry — shattering what was a serene night with chaos and bloodshed.
In total, 13 people suffered gunshot wounds, according to Israel's national emergency medical service. Four people, including one suspect, are still being treated at hospitals, Israeli police say.
The attackers were dressed as Hasidic Jews, a law enforcement source briefed by Israeli officials said. Police officers shot one of the suspects. The other surrendered, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
"People were having coffee," Amir Ohana, a member of the Israeli Parliament who was at the market, told CNN. "I saw a birthday cake on one of the tables. And then you see the chairs upside down and glass shattered and blood all over."
Surveillance footage from a cafe near the shooting scene showed chaos as panicked customers knocked over chairs and tables as they rushed to escape. People crawled across the floor and others carried children in their arms.
Vietnam's new role in US strategy
However, the reality is more complex. It must not be forgotten that Vietnam and the United States used to be enemies during the infamous Vietnam War. Only in 1995, 20 years after Vietnam's independence, were relations between two nations officially normalized with President Bill Clinton's visit to Vietnam. The Vietnam War exerted such significant impacts on both countries that the recent rapprochement has been phenomenal. The improvement in relations could only happen because the United States has developed a new strategy, the so-called "Pivot (or Rebalance) to Asia."
It is, therefore, important to reassess the position of Vietnam in the United States' overall strategy in the region.
US containment policy
For Washington, the war in Vietnam was seen as the key to prevent the 'domino effect' of communism. The theory speculated that, should one country in a region fall under the influence of communism, the neighbouring countries would subsequently follow suit, like dominoes toppling one after another. As a result, the Vietnam War was considered a legitimate intervention by the United States to prevent the communist takeover of South Vietnam and subsequently Southeast Asian countries. US involvement in South Vietnam was part and parcel for the US Cold War containment policy.
Vietnam was turned into a proxy battlefield, where North Vietnam was supported by the communist bloc of the Soviet Union and China, and South Vietnam was supported by the United States. At the time of Vietnam War, Vietnam was a young independent country, gaining independence in 1945 only to be interrupted again by the French in 1946, and then having to continue the war for unification without any break after the Geneva conference in 1954.
Vietnam in the 21st century is a politically stable country with positive economic development. Vietnam is a dedicated member of ASEAN and has established a wide network of diplomatic and economic relations around the world. Being geographically next to China, possessing an organic connection with Chinese and ASEAN economies, and appearing as one the two strongest claimants of territory in South China Sea, Vietnam holds a strategic position if the United States has the intention to contain China.
Thus, Vietnam has again become a vital element in the new US containment policy at three levels. At the economic level, Vietnam is included in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a macro free trade agreement, which intentionally leaves out China. At the diplomatic level, Vietnam is important in supporting the Philippines' arbitration case against China regarding the disputes in the South China Sea and for emphasizing the cooperation of ASEAN countries as a legitimate regional forum.
At the level of military containment, the United States has recently lifted the arms embargo on Vietnam and increased financial support for Hanoi's maritime self-development. The fact that Vietnam is the only country involved in US containment policy at all three levels (the Philippines, for example, is not included in TPP and Japan is not within ASEAN or involved in the legal case against China) shows the importance of Vietnam in the new US containment policy, which is a great evolution from its unfavourable position during Vietnam War.
Strategic partner
The first striking evolution of Vietnam's position in the US containment policy was the upgrade of Vietnam's status from being Washington's enemy to a strategic partner.
During the Vietnam War, Vietnam was targeted by the United States as a key to stop the 'domino effect' of communism in Southeast Asia. Vietnam went through a deadly and destructive war with the Americans to achieve unification of the country. The country became well-known worldwide for being able to resist the advanced, high-tech power of the United States, and thereby completely shook Washington's foreign policy with the so-called Vietnam syndrome.
However, in the 21st century, the position has changed dramatically. After the increasing aggression of Chinese claims in the South China Sea, the US made a decisive decision to partially lift the arms embargo which had been imposed on Vietnam since 1984. Furthermore, Vietnam is also included in Washington's new Southeast Asia Maritime Security Initiative, which aims to upgrade the ability of eight ASEAN countries to manage maritime challenges in the South China Sea.
Most remarkably, Vietnam is included in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the US answer to the Chinese initiative of 'One Belt, One Road.' TPP is considered by some as an obvious attempt by the United States to contain China, due to the agreement's deliberate omission of China despite its important role in trans-Pacific trade. The absence of Philippines in the list of TPP partners is also noticeable. While the Philippines is Washington's close ally in ASEAN, with a defence treaty obligating the US to protect the Philippines in case of attack, Manila is not included in TPP – but Hanoi is. This very fact shows that Vietnam is becoming more essential in the US containment strategy for China.
Active partnership
Part of the reason for this change is that Vietnam enjoys a more independent position in the South China Sea disputes than it had in the Vietnam War. Back then, Vietnam was a small, newly-independent country, with few resources to manage the war with a US-supported South Vietnam. The target of US containment policy at the time was the Soviet Union and communism.
However, the United States allied with China to take advantage of the crack in the communist bloc, changing the structure of US-Soviet-China relations. In the early 1970s, tension between two big communist states created the opportunity for the United States to intervene. The so-called 'opening to China' process started after President Richard Nixon's trip to China in 1972, greatly improving the diplomatic relations between the US and China.
At that point, the United States could negotiate with China, persuading Beijing to limit support for Vietnam and the Soviet-Vietnam link. In the first negotiations between the United States and the People's Republic of China, the Vietnam War was one of the two important topics discussed, along the Taiwan question, as Henry Kissinger noted in On China. Vietnam was turned into a bargaining chip and the triangle of US-China-Vietnam relations became a key in US containment policy. In that triangle, Vietnam was the most vulnerable. The United States wanted to take advantage of diplomatic opening with China to quickly finish the Vietnam War, while China wanted to use Vietnam to bargain and gain more standing in US-China cooperation against the Soviet Union.
South Vietnam, or the Republic of Vietnam, was directly supported by the United States – but despite that close relationship, Washington forbade the South Vietnam government from bombing the PRC when China took control of the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. And China was ready to reduce support for Vietnam, as it did in the 1970s, if it was beneficial for US-China relations against the Soviet Union. Vietnam was stuck in the middle, used as bargaining chips by big powers. Vietnam at the time had little means to decide its own destiny.
However, in the South China Sea dispute today, as an independent state, Vietnam has more space to develop its own position. That is not to say that Vietnam is completely independent from the influence of the United States or China. However, Vietnam can to some extent manage the level of cooperation and relations. For example, after peaking disputes in South China Sea, the Chinese government always has to follow up with diplomatic visits and attempts to reconnect relations. Xi Jinping visited Vietnam in October 2015, at a very sensitive point in their relationship. Though more symbolic than substantive, Xi's visit showed that China did not want Vietnam to completely drift away from Beijing. On the other hand, Vietnam can also actively initiate and encourage military and political advances with India, Japan, and the United States to balance the relation with China.
Multipolar world
The way Vietnam perceives itself in international relations, especially in the US-China-Vietnam triangle, dramatically affects the position of Vietnam in US containment policy. In the past, the world was bipolar. Vietnam chose to be in the communist bloc and subsequently fell into a proxy war with the United States. There was no middle ground; Vietnam could not simultaneously ally with the Soviet Union and the United States.
That power structure has changed. The new world is multipolar. US hegemony has been undergoing a considerable decline relative to new emerging powers such as China, Japan, Australia, Germany, India, and so on. In the new world order, Vietnam has the chance to choose a variety of alliances and avoid falling into direct confrontation with either the United States or China.
Undoubtedly, Vietnam could have chosen to side completely with the United States, like Japan and the Philippines. However, Vietnam decided to commit to a more flexible position. Vietnam cautiously avoided a direct confrontation with China by not following the Philippines in taking Beijing to court for violations in the South China Sea. Obviously, there is pressure from China for Vietnam not to join the Philippines' case, but Vietnam was also aware that a court case would not work in favour of its geopolitical position. Vietnam prefers a balance between the United States and China rather than making straightforward commitments with either of the two superpowers.
Rather than totally allying with big powers like Russia, China, or the United States, Vietnam is simultaneously trying to enhance cooperation with many countries, such as Russia, Japan, India, and Australia. Many scholars give ASEAN special attention as Vietnam's most favoured form of balancing or containing China. While the future cooperation of ASEAN to speak as one voice on the South China Sea issue remains doubtful, ASEAN is expected to provide the most legitimate power and commitment for ensuring conduct in the South China Sea. Such a multi-dimensional outlook offers Vietnam more space and flexibility to partly form its own position and while keeping its importance in the US containment policy centered on the South China Sea dispute.
What next for Vietnam?
Self-development is the only way for Vietnam to insulate itself from the influence of major powers' clash.
Vietnam is a small country stuck in the middle of confrontations by superpowers — in the past between the United States and USSR, and currently between the United States and China. Vietnam's geopolitical position shaped the fate of the country as relates to US containment policy in both the Cold War and today's South China Sea dispute. In the 21st century, Vietnam has again become an element in US containment against China.
However, this time around Vietnam has been quite flexible in adjusting its position in the US containment strategy. Vietnam's foreign policy on the South China Sea issue is an example of the evolution of an independent and pragmatic state. Being China's neighbour, but with a long history of fighting against Chinese influence, pushes Vietnam into an extreme dilemma. On one hand, resisting China is the core of Vietnamese identity and nationalism; it is almost impossible for Vietnam to submit to Chinese supremacy and bandwagon with China. The two sides' cooperation under the communist bloc already marked the best period in Vietnam-China relations.
Linh Tong is a research assistant at ADA University.
On the other hand, bordering China does not leave Vietnam the chance to ignore Chinese power and completely commit to a strategic partnership with the United States. After the liberation of 1975, Vietnam has always tried to balance relations between the US and China, being careful not to anger China by over-intimate dialogues with the Americans.
Given the interdependence in the new world order, Vietnam cannot expect any committed support such as it received from the Soviet Union. The best position for Vietnam in the US containment policy up till now is to stay flexible, multilateral, and independent. However, such a strategy is not sustainable.
Already, Vietnam is struggling to balance relations with China and the United States, in addition to being on the verge of losing its claimed territory in the South China Sea. Developing its economy and improving Vietnam's internal situation is the only sustainable method for having a position in the South China Sea dispute. Otherwise, Vietnam will again lie at the mercy of the great powers' game.
UK to take up diaspora groups' concerns with UNHRC before June sessions
All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils alleges progress 'has been slow to non-existent'
The UK will make representations to United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein on behalf of the Tamil Diaspora regarding what UK based sources called extremely slow progress in the implementation of the Geneva Resolution adopted on Oct 1, 2015.
State Minister at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Hugo Swire has assured All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPG-T) that he would meet Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein before the next Geneva sessions next month. The APPG-T represents the interest of UK based Diaspora groups, including the Global Tamil Forum (GTF).
Prince Hussein is scheduled to make a statement on Sri Lanka largely in respect of post-Oct 1, 2015 developments.
Having assumed Foreign and Commonwealth Office in early September 2012, Swire dealt with those who had been pursuing war crimes investigation.
The 47 member United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) unanimously adopted the US led Resolution co-sponsored by Sri Lanka. The UK is also a member of the UNHRC.
Spokesperson for the Office of the High Commissioner, Rupert Colville yesterday told The Island that the HC was scheduled to deliver the statement on June 29, though there could be a change. Sri Lanka's Permanent Representative in Geneva Ravinatha Aryasinha, too, confirmed that the presentation would be made during the last week of June.
State Minister Swire has said that much remains to be done in Sri Lanka. The Tamil Guardian quoted Minister Swire as having said that the UK would continue to support and encourage Sri Lanka to deliver "fully their commitments.
Minister Swire was responding to a query from the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPG-T), James Berry, (MP for Kingston and Surbiton). MP Berry said that progress to date "has been slow to non-existent".
MP Berry said: "Last year, after the Prime Minister's historic visit to Jaffna, the UN Human Rights Council passed a consensual resolution on accountability and reconciliation, following the atrocities at the end of the Sir Lankan civil war. When the resolution comes back before the UN in June, will our Government do whatever they can to ensure that Sri Lanka lives up to its promises? Progress to date has been slow to non-existent."
Minister Swire responded: ""The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights will give his assessment of progress at the next meeting of the UNHRC in Geneva in June. Before then, I myself will visit Geneva to discuss with him how we can encourage and support the Government to deliver fully against their commitments. We recognise that there is still much more to be done, and the UK will continue to support and encourage the Sri Lankan Government to deliver fully against their commitments."

Syria conflict: Deadly blasts rock Assad strongholds
A suicide bomber and a car bomb blew up within minutes of each other at a bus station in the port city of Tartous.
A bus station and a hospital were also among the targets of four bombings in Jableh, a town to the north.
A news agency linked to so-called Islamic State (IS) said the jihadist group was behind the attacks.
Amaq cited an IS source as saying militants had targeted "gatherings of Alawites", a reference to the heterodox Shia sect to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.
Russia – a key backer of Mr Assad – has a naval base in Tartous and an airbase near Jableh, from where it has conducted air strikes on IS targets across Syria.
The state news agency, Sana, cited a police source as saying that 45 people were killed and many others, most of them women and children, were injured in Jableh.
It reported that two bombs exploded at the main entrance of the town's bus station.
A suicide bomber also blew himself up at the entrance of the emergency department at Jableh National Hospital, it added.
The fourth blast reportedly occurred near the offices of Jableh's electricity directorate, on the outskirts of the Amara residential district.
In Tartous, more than 33 people were killed and 47 injured, Sana said.
A car bomb was detonated at the main gate to the city's bus station, while a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest inside the facility, it added.
Another bomber blew himself up in a residential area in the west of the city, according to Sana.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group which relies on a network of sources on the ground, reported that 53 people were killed in Jableh and another 48 in Tartous.
Until now, both Tartous and Jableh had escaped the worst of the five-year war in Syria, which has left more than 250,000 people dead.
NZ PM ejected from parliament mid-debate
Being New Zealand's prime minister granted John Key no special favours during a heated parliamentary debate about the Panama Papers.
Reprimanded for failing to obey a call to order, he was thrown out of the chamber by house speaker David Carter.
Mr Carter said Mr Key had ignored several of his warnings: "He is to be treated no differently to any other in this house," Mr Carter said.
It is not the first time John Key has been thrown out of the chamber as PM.
Parliamentary records show he has been expelled on three other occasions while MP, the New Zealand news website Stuff reports.
Nor is he the first New Zealand prime minister to be ejected from the chamber: he follows in the footsteps of Helen Clark, in 2005, and before her, David Lange in both 1986 and 1987.
This billboard kills mosquitos by mimicking human sweat
The Mosquito Killer aims to help curb the spread of the Zika virus, but one expert says it could backfire.
A new billboard in Brazil aims to attract and kill mosquitos, as part of a campaign launched by two advertising agencies. The "Mosquito Killer" billboard, created by the agencies Posterscope and NBS, emits carbon dioxide and a lactic acid solution to mimic human breathing and sweat. Mosquitos that are lured to the billboard become trapped inside, and eventually die.
The idea, according to the agencies, is to help combat the Zika virus, which is carried by mosquitos and has spread rapidly across Brazil and Latin America. More than 1.5 million Zika cases have been recorded in Brazil since April 2015, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this month confirmed that the virus can lead to microcephaly — a condition that causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads.
Two billboards have been installed in Rio de Janeiro, and the creators have called on others to install more, using the technical specifications that they have published for free online. They say the billboard is designed to attract the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the species that has been found to transmit Zika, and that it can lure the insects within a radius of up to 2.5 kilometers (about 1.6 miles).
The WHO has acknowledged that mosquito traps may help curb the spread of Zika, though the organization says further research is needed to determine their efficacy. Chris Jackson, a pest control expert at the University of Southampton, tells the BBC that "anything that can be done to reduce the prevalence of the mosquito is a good thing," though he notes that the Mosquito Killer billboard could inadvertently cause more people to be bitten, depending on where it's placed.
"Maybe if it was not in a high-density place, where people are sitting perhaps with exposed legs," Jackson told the BBC, "otherwise, you're pulling in hungry mosquitoes and providing them with exposed human flesh."

Let me say up front, that I'm an evolution guy. As far as I'm concerned evolution is scientific fact, anything else is; well anything else.
But anyway, I saw a tweet on Twitter by @EdHans, who is a guy I've chatted with on and off (more off than on these days) on technology forums for years. Ed has well established Christian views and is a super smart and good guy.
So when Ed linked to an article at the Uncommon Descent site, I knew it would be worthwhile to read. Needless to say it was very interesting. I have never thought of a racial aspect to Darwin's theory (I'm not sure there even is one) but that is really the basis of the article.
If you have a few minutes read the article; regardless of your religious views you will find it thought provocing. Here is the link. I've bookmarked the Uncommon Descent site and added to my Google Reader feeds – I'll be reading more for sure.

Rahul Gandhi asks Congress workers to be "vigilant" about EVMs
The Congress president's message to party workers in poll-bound states today was after a series of controversies over EVMs in Madhya Pradesh.
Congress party workers, be vigilant after polls close today.— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) December 7, 2018
In MP, EVM's behaved strangely after polling:
Some stole a 🚌 and vanished for 2 days! Others slipped away & were found drinking in a hotel.
In Modi's India, the EVMs have mysterious powers 😎

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) – Diversified media giants edged higher Tuesday morning, led by Seagram.
Seagram (VO) rose 1 1/8 to 58 1/8. Late Monday, the company said its Universal Pictures unit is in a pact with ReplayTV to promote its movies through ReplayTV's personal video recorder, or PVR, services.
ReplayTV makes software for PVRs, which are set-top boxes that allow television viewers to pause, rewind, instantly replay or play back any live broadcast by recording programs on to a computer hard drive. They also let customers record programs for later viewing without using videocassettes.
In Tuesday news for Seagram, the company's Universal Music Group said it has launched a series of broadband video and audio programs designed for viewers with high-speed Internet connections.
Viacom (VIA.B) rose 2 7/16 to 69 5/8. The company's MTV Networks cable unit said it has formed a partnership to create MTV Japan, a 24-hour, Japanese-language music television channel. MTV's partner is JapanMedia, a media company established earlier this year by H&Q Asia Pacific. The channel will launch in Jan. 2001, and will replace Vibe, a music channel. The Vibe staff will join MTV Japan.
Walt Disney (DIS) added 3/8 to 38 7/16, while Sony (SNE) added 2 13/16 to 115 ½.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) rose 1/16 to 25 7/8. The company said it will team up with India's largest commercial broadcaster, Zee Telefilms, to establish a 24-hour movie channel for South Asia. Terms weren't disclosed.
On the downside, Time Warner (TWX) shed 7/16 to 86 1/16.
Elsewhere, interactive television software maker OpenTV (OPTV) soared 9 7/16, or 24 percent, to 48 5/16 on news that Microsoft will experience a delay in the rollout of its own interactive TV software. Another maker of two-way TV software, Liberate Technologies (LBRT) rose 3 9/16, or 17 percent, to 24 7/16.
TiVo (TIVO), the No. 1 maker of PVR software, rose 2 1/16, or 10 percent , to 22 ¾.
In the radio group, Clear Channel Communications (CCU) rose 1 7/8 to 78 ½ and AMFM (AFM) added 1 to 72 13/16. Clear Channel is close to completing its $23.5 billion acquisition of AMFM.

Amélie Peres Evolutionary history of genes in vertebrate genomes
14h à 15h30
La soutenance de thèse d'Amélie Peres aura lieu dans la salle Favard, IBENS 46 rue d'Ulm 75005 Paris
Two categories of evolutionary processes can disrupt the gene organization in eukaryotic genomes : changes in the content of genomes by gene duplications or gene deletions, and changes in the order of the genes by rearrangements. Functional and selective impacts of these processes on genomes are poorly understood.
This thesis covers three different projects about duplication and deletion events that change the number of gene copies. We were interested in these events from phylogenetic trees reconstructed at the scale of whole genomes. In the first part we examined the case where these events would be under negative selection, by studying phylogenetic gene trees where no duplication or deletion was fixed. We found that these genes have special properties and propose hypotheses to explain them. In the second part we looked at gene duplications and correlated these events with the evolution of biological functions. Finally in the last part we have studied in detail the ROBO genes family in which one copy has acquired a different function in the developing nervous system of mammals under the influence of positive selection.
Taken together these results provide new elements to measure and understand the global impact of constraints or advantages that gene duplications in particular, and the change of genes copy number in general, can have on a vertebrate genome.

I messed up and ate half a chicken breast. I had just gotten back from going to the doctor with my husband (he'd been having panic attacks for two weeks), and after eating a potato's worth of fries I'd made earlier … it just didn't feel like enough. I was stressed and not feeling satiated so I ate the other half of the chicken breast I'd cooked for him.
I did do much better on the fat, tho. Only about 29 grams, where yesterday I had more like 50.
I also finally got around to taking a walk around the buildings–15 minutes of walking. I also did the PB exercises (squats, push-ups, and planks) for the first time in ages.
I've only got about 2 servings of potatoes left, so tomorrow will be my last day, plus I'll probably have a little chicken with dinner again because it won't be enough, otherwise. So I'll do one more semi-day.

Japan to Launch Invisible Train in 2018
Japan to Launch Invisible Train in 2018 :One of JapanŌĆÖs top architects has reportedly designed a train that is virtually invisible to onlookers, set to roll out on tracks around Tokyo in 2018.
Kazuyo Sejima designed the train to ŌĆ£blend into the landscapeŌĆØ of both urban and rural environments using ŌĆ£hyper-reflective materialsŌĆØ.
The Japanese architect stated in a press release that ŌĆ£the limited express travels in a variety of different sceneries, from the mountains of Chichibu to the middle of Tokyo, and I thought it would be good if the train could gently co-exist with this variety of scenery.ŌĆØ She has been commissioned the design of the trains as part of Japanese railway company Seibu HoldingŌĆÖs 100th anniversary. The Seibu Group operates 180 km of railway networks in the region around Tokyo. Commuters will be able to ride the train, known as the Red Arrow, on a limited number of routes in Japan from 2018.
Mrs. Sejima has worked on prize-winning designs in the past including the Rolex Learning Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland. She is a Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate, known for her work with Japanese architects SANAA.

Electric Showers & Handwash
Choosing the correct shower for you and your family isn't always easy; thanks to the fact there are several different types around. Here at Bathroom Supastore we focus on Electric showers and Power showers. We also stock electric handwash systems for both commercial and home use.
How does an electric shower work?
An electric shower operates via the mains cold water supply in your home. It takes the water from here and heats it up via a heating element in the shower itself the minute you turn the dial to switch the shower on. All electric showers are graded in terms of kilowatts where the higher the rating, the more efficient the shower. The electric showers we stock range from 8.5kW to 10.5kW.
Meanwhile, all of our electric showers are white with chrome so will blend in well with most bathroom décor colour schemes.
What gives a power shower its strength?
Power showers take water from the hot water supply as well as the cold one and mix them together to produce a pleasant temperature for the user. The spray is more powerful than in an electric shower (hence the name) and is achieved by using an internal pump. At Bathroom Supastore our thermostatic power showers are by leading brands in the industry.
Benefits of an electric handwash
An electric handwash is small water heater that sits over your sink and, like a mini-version of an electric shower, heats up the minute it's switched on. They are available in either hands-free automatic or manual switch on versions and have a swivel spray head for ease of use. You will also find these typically in a white and shiny silver chrome colour scheme. They're mostly found in commercial establishments but can be used in the home too, especially for sinks in outbuildings.

The other day I did something we don't often do here at GetReligion: I critiqued a blog post. The topic was hipster Christianity, and the commentary appeared on the book blog for The New Yorker, which was, coincidentally, riffing on material from a religious publication (Christianity Today). Neither religious media nor blogs are common targets for GetReligion. But they're generally considered fair game.
This time around it prompted a comment from one of our most loyal readers, Jerry, which I thought deserved more than just an answer in the comments. Here is the pertinent part of Jerry's comment:
I wonder about commenting on blog postings as you did here and Mollie did it recently. Given that a blog posting does not need to meet any journalistic standards or for that matter any standard of sentence construction or even spelling, I wonder about why any of you would take on a blogger except perhaps to laud someone who does a good job.
It's easy for me to see where Jerry is coming from. I remember when I was working the Godbeat at my first paper and my editor asked me if I'd be interested in starting a religion blog. Not a chance. Why? Because I was a purist. Newsink only. Blogs were for hacks.
That was 2005 -- and it was a painfully ignorant perspective even then.
Five years later, it would be just about impossible for me to make such a statement. During that time, I started The God Blog, which has received a few accolades, while remaining an upstanding print journalist. It's become difficult to tell where the print reporter stops and the blogger steps i
Sorry for the self indulgence, but it's the easiest way I know how to show that the world has turned. The reason 52 percent of bloggers consider themselves journalists: Well, a lot of them are.
I asked my colleagues for a few thoughts on why a good media critic can no longer ignore what writers -- especially full-time journalists, especially those at major publications -- are saying online. Here's some of what we're thinking.
First, there is a big difference between news blogs and opinion blogs. Like The God Blog, Book Bits is, largely, a news blog. It's not Atlas Shrugged or Daily Kos. There is more subjectiveness to the writing than would appear in the metro section of any news paper; but that comes through in the voice, not in opinioneering.
Second, major media outlets have forever lost valuable newshole, and that is being compensated for online, often in the form of lots and lots of blog content. The Los Angeles Times and New York Times come to mind. L.A. Now, for example, is now where you have to go to find some local, developing stories. Don't bother looking in the paper the next day -- the story won't be there.
Here's Mike Sando, a reporter who covers the Seahawks, talking about that in sports reporting:
Here's a recent example: The Flint, Mich., paper published a story about former Seahawks receiver Daryl Turner, who enjoyed some productive years in the 1980s before disappearing in a haze of drugs and alcohol. It wasn't something we needed to chase for the paper, but I turned it into a quick blog item. There are numerous other examples. The blog allows more room to discuss (and sometimes debunk) rumors, too.
Sure blogs aren't heavily edited (not that all news copy is), but they are still marked by reporting and analysis. If they're not or if they spend too much time rumormongering as opposed to substantiating, then I probably don't read them.
And, finally, GetReligion's mission is to help journalists get religion. That means we're looking to not only critique a 40-inch story in The Washington Post but also to comment on trends, technologies, information, etc. that would be of interest to working journalists, especially those who cover religion or topics that are linked to religion.
Obviously, we can't comment on everything. This is, after all, the information age. But unless we GetReligionistas are venturing outside old media -- to a reporter's Twitter feed, for example -- then we're really not living up to our duty.

UN Security Council Resolution 794 is unanimously passed, approving a coalition of United Nations peacekeepers led by the United States to form UNITAF, with the task of establishing peace and ensuring that humanitarian aid is distributed in Somalia.
Unified Task Force (UNITAF) was a United States-led, United Nations-sanctioned multinational force which operated in Somalia between Dec. 5, 1992 through May 4, 1993. UNITAF was named Operation Restore Hope by the US and EUCOM designated as the lead agency.
EUCOM was charged with carrying out United Nations Security Council Resolution 794: to create a protected environment for conducting humanitarian operations in the southern half of Somalia.
UNITAF's original mandate was to use "all necessary means" to guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid in accordance to Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter and is regarded as a success.

Sustained demand and low-vacancy environment fuels rental growth
HONG KONG, 7 June 2012 – Retail demand is expected to extend its uptrend in 2Q12, driven by low vacancy rate and strong demand from both local and international retailers.
Particularly, the retail demand is largely driven by the new-to-market brands. In the past 24 months, over 11% of all deals transacted over HKD 500,000 per month were contributed by the new market brands (which only counts the brand once, not every store), which show their willingness to compete and secure prime store locations in Hong Kong.
Limited vacancy on high streets resulted in demand spilling over into what has traditionally been considered secondary streets, thus pushing rentals of street shops higher. This trend saw an expanding effect to prime districts of Causeway Bay, Central and Tsimshatsui with the neighbouring streets close to Russell Street in Causeway Bay, Queens Road, Central and Canton Road in Tsimshatsui, benefiting from the increasing rentals and strong demand.
Total retail sales value continued to post robust growth throughout 1Q12, growing by 15.9% y-o-y, after rising by 24.9% in 2011 to approximately HKD 406 billion. The strong growth in retail sales was also sustained by the continuing growth of visitor arrivals, which rose by 15.6% y-o-y to 11.2 million in 1Q12.
Activities in the investment market picked-up noticeably in 1Q12, with investors targeting street shop properties. The pick-up in investment activity and return of speculators saw the capital value of high street shops surge by 9.7% q-o-q in 1Q12 after remaining broadly stable in 4Q11.
Although the emerging signs of weakness in the labour market and the slower growth in visitor arrivals may lead to a slower pace of rental growth in the longer term, growing demand from international retailers as well as low level of vacancy are expected to continue to push rentals up in the remaining portion of 2012, remarks Tom Gaffney, Head of Retail at Jones Lang LaSalle Hong Kong.
