Amanda Ramirez (top left) and her twin, Anna Ramirez (bottom and right)
A pair of New Jersey identical twins were seen smiling together with friends in a photo posted to social media less than two hours before one sister allegedly stabbed the other to death.
Anna and Amanda Ramirez, 27, were pictured grinning and palling around with two friends in a photo posted to Anna's Facebook page just before 3:45 a.m. Saturday.
"You know the vibe," read the caption on the snap.
But less than two hours later, cops found Anna lying unconscious and knife on the ground outside her Camden housing complex, prosecutors have said.
She was pronounced dead at an area hospital, and her twin, Amanda, was arrested and charged with aggravated manslaughter.
A motive for the alleged sororicide remained unclear, as mourners and family struggled to make sense of the slaying.
"Murder is always horrific. … But this…," wrote one horrified commenter on the Facebook post. "Completely unnerving."
The twins' distraught relatives refused to comment to reporters at a family home on Tuesday.
But Anna was mourned in an obituary as a dedicated nursing assistant and family-first mom of three — as well as the "dear sister of Amanda."
"She loved to spend time with her family and was a devoted mother," read the remembrance. "Anna had a special bond with her grandparents and enjoyed family dinners and weekly time hanging out with her sisters."
WASHINGTON – When Immigration and Customs Enforcement ((ICE)) agents arrested at least 680 undocumented immigrants in cities around the United States last week, immigration advocates hailed it as the first "mass enforcement operation" of the Donald Trump era.
"It is time to sound the national alarm bell," said a group of organizations led by United We Dream.
But is it? The truth is more nuanced.
Barack Obama inherited and expanded the capacity to identify, apprehend, and deport unauthorized immigrants, according to the Migration Policy Institute, and he used it as president, deporting more than 2.5 million people between 2009 and 2015.
At the border, there was a "near zero tolerance system, where unauthorized immigrants were increasingly subject to formal removal and criminal charges."
Immigration enforcement, as laid out in a 2014 memo, also focused on immigrants who committed crimes and those who arrived after the beginning of 2014.
"A more robust enforcement system inevitably inflicts damage on established families and communities," the Migration Policy Institute report said.
What ICE did not do during the Obama era was detain people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. ICE was instructed to arrest only people who were targeted in advance and not just anybody swept up in a raid, so-called collateral arrests.
Obama said his government did not have the desire to deport millions of undocumented immigrants whose only crime was to enter the country illegally.
And now?
President Donald Trump's Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States executive order shows that collateral arrests are not to be avoided.
"Many aliens who illegally enter the United States and those who overstay or otherwise violate the terms of their visas present a significant threat to national security and public safety," the order says.
After last week's enforcement operations, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly said that 75 percent of the people apprehended had criminal records. This implies that 25 percent of the 680 arrests reported by DHS were non-criminals.
ICE said during "targeted" enforcement operations officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in violation of federal immigration laws. "Those persons will be evaluated on a case by case basis and, when appropriate, arrested by ICE," the agency said.
Rep. Michelle Grisham, D-N.M., speaks during the third day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 27, 2016
On Capitol Hill, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus has requested a meeting with ICE's acting director to learn about the location of last week's operations, the reason for apprehensions, the number of people detained with criminal convictions and the number of parents with minors arrested along with the arresting reason.
"The request to have the meeting, of course, is to get real information, data, about who is apprehended, who are the targets, where, and confirm that information with our constituents … and to make sure that we are following the law, and we're clear that people are getting due process and that they know their rights, and the fact that we are not causing, which we are, fear and panic in our communities," New Mexico congresswoman and caucus chair Michelle Grisham said.
A sign alerts customers a bakery is closed for the day as part of an immigration protest, Feb. 16, 2017, in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
Building a basis for comparison
While fear is running high in immigrant communities, it is still too early to say how different the Trump administration's policies will be from the previous ones.
Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) intends to follow it. TRAC is building a baseline "against which arrests by fugitive operation teams and other components of ICE can be compared under the new Trump administration."
Using case-by-case records of both apprehensions and removals, TRAC has put together an initial report that shows 65,332 individuals were detained and deported by ICE during FY 2016, the last year of Obama's presidency. TRAC says that amounts to approximately 1,250 per week.
Only a small part of those arrests, however, were the result of ICE raids or other enforcement operations. "Instead, most of these estimated weekly 1,250 ICE apprehensions happened when ICE assumed custody of individuals held by another law enforcement agency," the TRAC report says.
Putting aside the other law enforcement agencies, TRAC says that "less than 300 individuals were arrested each week from their place of work, where they lived, or other places they may have been when found" by ICE.
The rate of U.S. adolescents and young adults dying of suicide has reached its highest level in nearly two decades, according to a report published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In 2017, there were 47 percent more suicides among people aged 15 to 19 than in the year 2000. Overall, there are 36 percent more people aged 20 to 24 living in the U.S. today than at the turn of the century.
With more than 6,200 suicides among people aged 15 to 24, suicide ranked as the second-leading cause of death for people in that age group in 2017, trailing behind deaths from unintentional motor vehicle accidents, which claimed 6,697 lives.
To study the change, a team from Harvard Medical School pulled data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which tracks deaths and their "underlying cause" nationwide.
Suicide rates among females have been on the rise for several years in this time period, with the rates for 15- to 19-year-olds rising more quickly after 2009. An even more noticeable spike has occurred in suicides for adolescent and young adult males since 2014.
The researchers said that trend might be connected to the opioid crisis, because of the added stressors that come with addiction, said Oren Miron, a research associate at Harvard Medical School and one of the report's authors.
Social media, as well as a reduced stigma for parents and coroners to report a child's death as suicide (rather than as an accident), could also be playing a role in the increase, the researchers suggested.
But Miron cautioned that the study did not identify causes. Instead, they say that now the upward trend has been identified, more research can be done to pinpoint the factors contributing to the deaths.
The researchers found there were 11.8 deaths per 100,000 adolescents — aged 15 to 19 years — in 2017. That's up from 2000 when there were eight deaths per 100,000.
For young adults aged 20 to 24 years old, the suicide rate was 17 per 100,000 in 2017, an increase from 12.5 per 100,000 in 2000.
A leap in the suicide rate "is not a predetermined curse that comes with modernization," said Miron, noting the fluctuation from year to year.
The CDC has linked increased drug use to suicides and recommends a number of prevention measures, including encouraging adults to limit access to prescription drugs in the home. And experts in suicide prevention say paying attention to changes in lifestyle can help parents determine if their child is at risk.
For adolescents, using social media in a way that detracts from face-to-face interactions could be particularly detrimental to mental health. said Victor Schwartz, chief medical officer at suicide prevention nonprofit The Jed Foundation.
Yet while social media can facilitate bullying and lead to more anxiety and depression among young people, it can also be used to help those who are struggling with depression and can help loved ones pick up on warning signs early on.
"Dramatic changes are a sign," said Schwartz. "Looking for changes in sleep, in social relationships — any of these big areas should start to raise big flags. Changes in substance use, even in the use of social media might suggest something is going on."
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man who pretended to be an Uber driver to sexually assault a college student has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Willie Foust pleaded guilty to sexual battery after the victim testified at his trial.
The woman was an 18-year-old Florida Gulf Coast University freshman when she summoned an Uber car to take her back to her dorm from a bar during a rainstorm.
Authorities say the 35-year-old Foust saw the woman and pulled up. She asked him if he was her Uber driver and he said yes. She got in and he drove her to a parking lot, where he assaulted her.
The State Attorney's Office announced Monday that the sentencing happened last week.
Bill Cosby has earned backlash after a Father's Day message referring to himself as "America's dad" was shared on his social media channels.
The comedian, who is currently serving a prison sentence for aggravated indecent assault, shared the message on Saturday on Twitter and Instagram.
"Hey, Hey, Hey…It's America's Dad…" the message begins, in reference to Cosby's former nickname.
"I know it's late, but to all of the Dads… It's an honor to be called a Father, so let's make today a renewed oath to fulfilling our purpose – strengthening our families and communities."
On both platforms, the message is accompanied by a video of Cosby in the 1968 CBS documentary Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strayed.
"And that's some awful history to teach. Now, if you want to look history right straight in the eye, you're going to get a black eye."
He used several hashtags on Twitter and on Instagram, including #RenewedOathToOurCommunity, #AmericasFavoriteDad, and #FarFromFinished.
Cosby's decision to call himself "America's dad" was met with outraged reactions on social media.
"Just stop. This is awful," one person wrote, while many others expressed their disagreement in gifs.
Cosby was sentenced in September last year to three to 10 years behind bars.
He was found guilty in April that year of three counts of aggravated indecent assault in a landmark trial.
TORONTO (AP) — The Latest on a shooting at a rally for the NBA champion Raptors in Toronto (all times local):
6:25 p.m.
Toronto police now say four people were shot and wounded at a rally for the NBA champion Raptors, and two people were arrested.
Police had initially said two people were shot.
Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders says four people suffered gunshot wounds Monday and that none of the injuries were life-threatening. Saunders says others suffered minor injuries as they tried to get away from the shooting.
He asked for witnesses and people who might have video from the scene to come forward.
Saunders says the two people were arrested "with firearms."
Police have not said whether they believe the shooting was a targeted attack or an act of terrorism.
4:40 p.m.
Toronto police say two people have been shot and wounded at a rally for the NBA champion Raptors. Two people have been arrested.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Toronto's mayor, and the Raptors players remained on stage while the ceremony was briefly interrupted.
4:20 p.m.
Police say there are reports of shots being fired at a massive victory rally for the Toronto Raptors.
Toronto police tweeted there are reports of a woman being injured.
Some in the crowd have been seen running from the area.
Christopher Darden, the attorney for Eric Holder, the man accused of killing rapper Nipsey Hussle, recently announced plans to withdraw from the case, the Los Angeles Times reported.
In a Facebook post published Friday morning, Darden, who was on the prosecution team for the famed 1995 murder trial of O.J. Simpson, wrote that he was on his way to appear in People v. Holder for "the last time."
"I filed a Motion to Withdraw from the case," he wrote. "I thought I should tell you, my friends, first & before anyone else. As for my reasons for withdrawing I don't know whether I will disclose them later or not."
Darden received criticism from some people on social media for representing Holder, who was charged last month with murder and two counts of attempted murder in relation to the fatal shooting of Hussle on March 31. Holder pleaded not guilty to the murder and attempted murder charges.
Hussle, a Grammy-nominated rapper born Ermias Asghedom, was lauded for his community activism and efforts to revitalize the South Los Angeles community where he was raised.
He continued, "But allow me to say this; After centuries of a history of black men hung from trees without trial, or after the thousands of cases of black men tried, convicted and executed without counsel; after Gideon v. Wainwright & Powell v. Alabama, I cannot understand why in 2019 some people would deny a black man his 6th Amendment right to counsel of his choice."
The attorney added that he and his family had received threats after he began representing Holder. He called the backlash reminiscent of 1995, an apparent reference to the response to his role in trying Simpson.
"These days these cowards don't send letters instead they sit anonymously behind keyboards threatening a man's mother and children. And some folks think that's funny. It isn't and I won't ever forget it."
A spokesperson for The Los Angeles District County Attorney's Office confirmed to HuffPost via email that Holder is being represented by the public defenders' office.
Darden told the Times that he has been practicing criminal defense for years and that he represents "regular people."
We are going to review this once again so you can all get caught up.
Simmons dumped Tinashe for doing "Kardashian Sh*t".
Simmons then started dating Kendall Jenner who cheated on him two times because she didn't take their relationship seriously.
Simmons then took her back after she apologized.
After a few months of everything going well, Jenner cheated on him again with an ex-boyfriend at Coachella and Khloe Kardashian's ex-boyfriend French Montana.
While Kendall asked for forgiveness she was spotted with her ex-NBA boyfriends Blake Griffin and Jordan Clarkson.
Now, there are reports it is affecting Simmons play in the playoffs.

Settlement Agreements
What are settlement agreements?
A settlement agreement is a special kind of contract between an
and an
. It's an exception to the general rule that a person cannot give up his or her rights to make a claim in an employment tribunal or a court.
An agreement is a sensible way of resolving a dispute but any attempt to do this without following the rules on settlement agreements won't work and the arrangement will be unenforceable - a good reason why you should seek legal advice early.
The purpose of a settlement agreement is to record how the terms of employment will end or a dispute will be resolved. Those terms are usually that the employer will pay a sum of money in return for the employee giving up rights to make the employment-related claims set out in the agreement.
If you would like any more information about this service please get in touch.
The rules in brief are:
Settlement agreements must be in writing and in a specified format.
Settlement agreements must contain certain information stipulated by law.
An employee must receive advice on the meaning and effect of the settlement agreement by someone qualified to do so such as Spencer Shaw Solicitors. That advice must include the effect of the settlement agreement on an employee's ability to make a claim to an employment tribunal.
The cost of this advice is often covered by the employer.
Settlement agreements are normally used:
to end a disagreement between an employer and an employee at the end of employment or
to reach a negotiated compromise about how and on what basis an employee will
Occasionally they are used where employment continues.
Settlement agreements are becoming increasingly common in cases of
. They are also used in many kinds of cases where employment law issues arise such as
unfair dismissal

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Macy's is considering an unusual addition to its flagship store in Herald Square.
The department store chain is looking into turning the more than 2-million square foot roof into a public park.
It would feature open green space with trees and benches along with restaurants.
The rooftop park would be part of a strategy to attract more shoppers and make Macy's more exciting.
In January, Macy's announced it would be closing 68 stores and eliminating more than 10,000 jobs by midyear.

The Wilson Times yesterday posted a strong set of photos from Brad Coville, of the second of two Christmas Day fires at the McDonald's restaurant on Raleigh Road near the I-95 exchange. The first fire was reported about 2:00 a.m., and the second fire was reported a little after 11:00 a.m., reports this Times story. The fire is still under investigation, though the second fire is being called a rekindle. See more photos.

Awesome app, reliable service, outstanding developer
I have been using Pushover for more than a year to receive critical alerts for work. I go on call once every three weeks and this app has never let me down. The feature that I like the most from the paid service is that I can create an application with its own email address and set up my alerts to go to that email address. Any of my devices running pushover can then receive that alert. The service itself is far more configurable than that but for the sake of brevity I will keep it short. Also one of my other favorite things is the API. We are going to be doing some very interesting things with alerts that require acknowledgment. My biggest request is that Superblock LLC would add a third type of alert (level 3?) that has an approve/deny response instead of a simple repeat alert until acknowledged. I would like to be able to push approve/deny workflow items to my phone and be able to capture those responses on the backend or with a postback like I can with level 2. It would also be great if the repeat frequency of the level 2 and 3 alerts could be configured.
Wonderful for integrations
I'm one of those people who never rate or review apps unless they stand out from the crowd. Pushover is one of those apps. Every app supports push notifications for their service, but if you are looking for an app that makes it easy to integrate push notifications with anything else you can talk to, this is the solution for you. In an afternoon I was able to build a notification system for ONEMI alerts for Chile using Huginn and Pushover, and the bulk of that time was spent on configuring the Huginn agents. Pushover made it easy to define an app and a delivery group that others can subscribe to, so even non-technical people can benefit from having public safety alerts delivered to their devices. The pricing model is sane, and Pushover is an app that I am happy to pay for. Truly top notch.
Apple Watch notifications are unreliable
This app works great for notifications to my iPhone but my associated Apple Watch notifications are often delayed and/or unreliable. I have my home automation system pushing these notifications and my phone gets every one of them and almost instantly. The Watch only gets some of them and often delayed. I use many other apps with watch notifications without issue so it is not a communication or settings problem. I can have my automation hub send the exact same notifications to pushover and it's own app and my iPhone will get both notifications at the same second. My watch gets the automation app notifications also at the same second, the pushover notification comes sometimes at the same time, sometimes a few seconds later and sometimes never. This app is literally the only one that I have the problem with. I have reinstalled both the phone and watch app and tried all combinations of Bluetooth, WiFi and Cellular connections with the watch and the phone ... nothing fixes this issue.

Okay, the sun is out, it feels like summer, and I saw the first wine column on Rose today. So that means I need to do my annual blog as well!
The subject – as always – is whether Rose should be dry or sweet. But, for me, this isn't an "either/or" question. Instead, if the wine is made well, the answer is – both!
But first a quick reminder about what Rose is. Almost always, Rose starts as a red wine and is made by leaving the skins on for just a little while. The contact with the skins provides the colour, which can range from a light salmon to a deep pink colour. As well, because the wine is made from red grapes, it tends to have more body and flavour than most white wines.
Now, back to the issue – sweet or dry.
The main problem with sweet Rose is its legacy. Most people growing up have, unfortunately, tried bad sweet red wine. White Zinfandel, Mateus, Baby Duck – there are lots of other examples. Sickly sweet to the point of almost being cloying, it is hard to drink more than a glass (if that). And that is what many people think of when they hear the word Rose.
At the opposite end or the spectrum – particularly for people who have been to the south of France – is dry Rose. The same colour as its sweet cousin, but a very different animal once you taste it! Dry, sometimes very dry, with far less fruit, although no wood to speak off.
In between is the off-dry version which – interestingly – is increasingly being made, and made well, in British Columbia. Once again, the same colours, but explosively fruity on the nose and in the mouth, and very balanced in the mouth, but finishing just a touch off dry. On a hot summer afternoon, there are few things that are better.
So which is the right choice?
Well, I certainly agree that the sickly sweet versions are to be avoided at all costs. So we have no arguments there.
The dry ones? Well, when we were in the south of France a number of years ago, that was all we drank, and we loved them. It was summer, so very hot, and they are incredibly refreshing! As well, with no sweetness, but lots of body, they go great with a wide range of food, from seafood to cassoulet and duck confit.
The problem, though, can be the cost. Dry Rose has become trendy, which means that some of the "name brands" are getting very pricey, even approaching – and exceeding – the $40 mark! Tavel is one that has always been up there, but recently Brad Pitt and Anjolina Jolie also made one that was a bit less than that. It was good, but not worth the extra bucks.
In my view, Rose is like Beaujolais – it should be simple, easy to drink, and less (hopefully far less) than $20. In France, there are lots of examples of that for far less. In fact, it is often thrown in as part of dinner in many restaurants!
As for the off-dry versions, I love the best of them – in the summer. In BC, La Frenz makes the best one (for around $18) – it is bursting with ripe grapefruit! Quails Gate makes another, as does Chaberton in Langley, both of which are a few bucks cheaper. Sitting on the deck, with or without food – there are few things better!
So the answer, then, is dry and sweet, or at least off dry. Summer is short enough, so why not enjoy both?

: Located in west SoHo, this 75-seat restaurant is helmed by chef Ignacio Mattos and Thomas Carter, who have wowed the fooderati (as well as the Obamas) at nearby Estela. Now they're trying to do the same with classic (and some rather creative) Italian fare. The simply bedecked but chic space is loud, and everyone from bankers to bohemians are squeezed in, elbow to elbow, twirling al dente tagliolini with black truffles and munching on cabbage and ricotta stuffed ravioli sprinkled with walnuts. Uni sitting on buttered crostini is a transcendent starter, while seared octopus with salsa verde and chickpeas is tough and chewy. Desserts lean toward the inventive side with Campari sorbetto and fig gelato. The wine list is lengthy and features some affordable bottles, including the very good 1985 Portuguese Frei Joao Reserva.

Rod Rosenstein, deputy attorney general, sees no reason to dismiss Robert Mueller
WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told a House committee Wednesday that he saw no reason to dismiss Robert Mueller, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, even as Republicans complain that the investigators are politically biased.
In a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Rosenstein defended Mueller's character and leadership, insisting the former FBI director now leading the investigation into Russia's interference in the presidential election took the appropriate action to remove a senior FBI agent from his team last summer after finding he exchanged overtly political text messages with a colleague.
Rosenstein's appearance came just hours after the Justice Department forwarded Congress hundreds of text messages linked to a top FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, who in long-running communications with FBI lawyer Lisa Page, variously referred to Trump as an "idiot" and "terrifying." Both expressed a clear preference for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
In one 2016 exchange, Page described Trump as a "loathsome human," prompting Strzok to respond: "Yet he may win." The communications obtained by USA TODAY on Tuesday night covered a period in which Strzok also helped oversee the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
Rosenstein acknowledged that he was not personally aware of the extent of the bias expressed by Strzok in those communications, but insisted the wide-ranging probe was proceeding apace and in accordance with proper oversight channels.
"I know what he is doing," Rosenstein said of Mueller. "I am not aware of any impropriety."
More:Peter Strzok, FBI agent removed from Robert Mueller's Russia probe, called Trump an 'idiot'
Yet Judiciary committee chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia seized on the Strzok-Page disclosures to launch a broadside on the Mueller investigation, which has already resulted in the prosecutions of four Trump associates. Rep. Goodlatte, a Republican from Virginia, said the communications were "deeply troubling" and threatened the impartiality of the special counsel's inquiry and Justice Department operations.
Goodlatte said that Mueller's inquiry "must not be tainted" by the "political biases" of the two FBI officials.
"The Department of Justice's reputation as an impartial arbiter of justice has been called into question," the chairman said.
New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the panel's acting ranking Democrat, shot back that Strzok and Page were free to express their private opinions and had not expressed anything about Trump "that the majority of Americans were thinking at the same time."
Nadler, who recently took over as the top Democrat on the panel in the wake of Michigan Rep. John Conyers's resignation, said he understands Republicans' "desire to change the subject" after the recent high-profile indictments of Trump campaign advisers.
"I understand the instinct to want to give cover to the president," Nadler said to his GOP colleagues.
Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn and a former campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, have both pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about their communications with Russian officials. Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and campaign aide Rick Gates have been indicted — and pleaded not guilty — on charges of money laundering and other crimes.
Flynn's guilty plea on Dec. 1 brought the criminal investigation into Trump's inner circle for the first time.
Rosenstein said that he had discussed issues related to political bias with Mueller, but the deputy attorney general believed that Mueller was "ensuring" that such personal views were not influencing the investigation. "If I thought he (Mueller) was doing something inappropriate, I would take action," Rosenstein said.
Rosenstein, who oversees special counsel operations, was also asked about whether Mueller had requested permission to expand the scope of the investigation. The deputy attorney general said he had helped "clarify" the outline of the inquiry, but he declined to immediately characterize it as an expansion.
Rosenstein did, however, indicate that Mueller's team had authority to review possible obstruction of justice involving any administration official – including the president.
The president's private lawyers have recently asserted that the president, as the chief executive, is not subject to possible obstruction charges.
"I can assure you that the special counsel is conducting himself consistently with our understanding of the scope of the investigation," Rosenstein said, before offering a stirring defense of the special counsel's credibility.
"Nobody has communicated to me the desire to remove Robert Mueller," Rosenstein said. "I think it would be very difficult to find anybody better qualified for this job...I believe that, based upon his reputation, his service, his patriotism, his experience with the department and the FBI, he was an ideal choice for this task."
Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself because he served as an adviser to Trump's campaign. Sessions also was under pressure by Congress to recuse himself after he acknowledged that he was wrong when he told the Senate Judiciary Committee at his confirmation hearing in January that he never met with Russian officials during the campaign.
Months later, the Mueller probe is heating up – as are conservatives' calls to discredit the investigation.
Earlier this month, Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn agreed to plead guilty as part of a deal in which he also pledged to cooperate in Mueller's continuing investigation.
But just one day later, news broke that Strzok was removed from Mueller's team last summer after the Justice Department's inspector general discovered the anti-Trump texts to Page.
Strzok has since been reassigned to the agency's human resources department, but Trump and his allies in Congress have jumped on the news as evidence that the Russia probe is biased.
In an animated exchange with Rosenstein on Wednesday, Rep. James Jordan, R-Ohio, said the communications had undermined public confidence in Mueller's inquiry and required the appointment of a second special counsel to review the matter.
"This guy (Strzok) thought he was a super agent – the James Bond at the FBI," Jordan said, referring to Strzok's communications in which he once said that he was "terrified" at the prospect of a Trump presidency.
"I think the the public trust in this thing (Mueller's inquiry) is gone," the congressman said.
Other GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., picked up where Jordan left off, asserting that the FBI agents' communications represented a "clear conflict of interest" that compromised the ongoing investigation.
"Please tell me that when you read these texts your heart fell," Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas said.
Rosenstein countered, pointing out that it was the Justice Department that exposed the contacts and removed Strzok from the team. The communications were discovered during a separate investigation of the department's handling of the Clinton email investigation.
The deputy attorney general said he was awaiting the conclusion of an investigation led by Justice's inspector general before taking any action. That review is expected to be completed in the next few months.
While much of the hearing focused on the operations of Mueller's hearing, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., pressed Rosenstein on renewed allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against Trump by more than a dozen women.
Asked whether the president's actions were crimes, the deputy attorney general declined to offer an opinion, directing the congressman to submit any evidence to the department for review.

Sheds, allotments and garages
Places where you store tools, machinery and other valuable equipment offer easy pickings to thieves.
You can reduce the risk of having your property stolen by:
• always putting tools and equipment away in a locked place
• disabling lawn mowers and other machinery when not in use and chaining items together to a solid anchor point
• using closed shackle padlocks and installing alarms and security lights.
• If your property is stolen, you have more chance of getting it back if it is recovered by us if you write down some details (make, model, serial number and identifying marks) and have pictures of the items.
You can also:
• register valuables on https://www.immobilise.com/ – the national secure property database
• security-mark items with a UV pen or a forensic marking solution
• keep hedges and fences maintained and gates locked
• secure hanging baskets to their brackets
Tips for keeping your garden shed secure from intruders
- Before you start looking at locks and alarms for your garden shed, inspect the building itself. Is the roof in good shape, for example? Thieves have been known to lift off a flimsy roof to get at tools inside.
- Make sure the shed door is in good condition – there's no point strenghthening hingers and fitting padlocks if it's easy enough to kick in a rotting door panel.
- Use clutch-head screws or coach screws on th shed door hinges and on the hasp and latch – these types of screws can't be easily unscrewed. Fit two padlocks on the door: one about a third of the way down from the top, the other a similar distance from the bottom of the door.
- Choose closed-shackle padlocks to make the shed door more secure – they have very little of the metal hoop exposed, which makes them much less vulnerable to someone wielding a pair of bolt cutters.
- If your shed has a window, make it harder for thieves to find out what's inside by obscuring it – cover it on the inside with bubble wrap, horticultural fleece or even an old net curtain. Fit laminated glass in the window – it's harder to break – or fit security mesh across the outside.
Tips for keeping tools and equipment in your shed secure
- If someone does manage to get into the shed, make it hard for them to carry off equipment such as lawnmowers and chainsaws. Use heavy-duty chain and a padlock to link items together: a lawnmower, a heavy barbecue and a bundle of garden chairs chained together will be awkward to drag away.
- Does your garden shed have a concrete base? You could install anchor bolts and use a chain and padlock to secure equipment stored in your shed.
- Always put away tools, equipment and bikes – anything of any value – when you aren't using them. Be aware that burglars may find some garden tools handy for breaking into the house.
- Mark equipment with your postcode – use a UV pen, paint the details on or scratch them onto metal handles.
- In summer it can be a pain to have to put garden furniture in every night – check whether your insurance policy covers items left out in the garden.

Introduction: Crochet Hook
I know a lot of people who crochet. So much so that a while back I decided to make my mum the best crochet hook in the world ever.
This was perhaps a little foolish endeavor for a non crocheter but allowed me to do a lot of geeky research and experiments.
I documented my research at the time on the Facebook group called the best crochet hook in the world development page https://www.facebook.com/TheBestCrochetHooksInTheW...
I also had an idea of making hooks as a hobby business but worked out that I would have to charge more than most people would want to pay for a hook when cheep alternatives are easily available.
All my research lead me to the conclusion that different crocheters look for different things in their hooks. some love points others look for flat handles etc. But most enjoy a nice comfortable handle and high craftsmanship.
Step 1: The Wood
There is a lot of building work happening at the moment where I work which meant they had old wooden pallets available.
I originally used the wood to make pens so had a lot of left over pen blanks (after running out of pen kits to go inside)
The length of most hooks is around the distance from the tip of your extended index finger to the start of your wrist. (Luckily this is around the length I had pre-cut my pen blanks.)
Cutting blanks involved checking for metal with a detector (I don't want to damage my blades) then cutting on the table or band saw.. (These were done on the table saw) If you don't have a table or band saw this can easily be done with hand tools but will likely take a little longer. Its also likely to be a little less fun.
I only used the thickest parts of the pallet (the struts which run at right angles to the main bars.. The lower part of the pallets seemed to be almost completely free of nails and screws resulting in a whole bag of blanks being available for free :))
Step 2: Turning the Shapes
I made a quick hook for a friend but neglected to documented it, I thought it would be a nice idea to document for the lovely people of instructables a slight iteration of my earlier design.
I used my earlier turning to transfer marks as a guide for where I should make coves and beads ect
These markings were made for a person with relatively small hands. You might want to make your own iterations to make a tool uniquely suited to your hand.
My marks came at about 1 inch for the high point, 3 inch for the lowest point to thumb/finger grip 3.5 for the end of the thumb grip and my hook extends for around 2.5 inches (technically the neck hook and tip).
I shaped the wood with a spindle gouge and skew. This would be a perfect time to talk about health and safety and the use of PPI (Personal Protection Equipment) If your turning it is highly recommended that you ware safety gear including a face visor or as a minimum protective glasses and sturdy footwear. Bunny rabbit slippers will not protect you as well as you would hope.
I have exceptionally sharp tools and would recommend if you are new to turning that you look into ways of getting your tools as sharp as possible. It makes a huge difference and makes the whole job more fun.. (Its wood turning not wood work.. with sharp tools all the hard work goes away)
I plan to make an instructable introducing how to make cuts on the lathe, H+S and finishes soon which will go into far greater detail about how to cut and shape the wood. I introduced the bevel of the tool before lowering it to the level that the blade cut and finessed until I had my desired outcome. Using the lines I had marked previously to inform where to cut and to approximately what depth. Though in truth for a handle I find it is best to stop the lathe and feel weather it feels right or not. and make refinements based on observations.
The neck of the hook should be as equal as possible. (The neck is the part of the hook before the handle).
Step 3: Chopping an Turning a Nipple
I was left with a bit of what I would describe as flash around the end of the tool where I was holding it with one of the lathers centers.
I carved some of this off to reduce some of the work on my tools and then held the hook with pin jaws in my chuck and turned a nipple on the end of the hook. (I have found this shape to be most comfortable in the hand allowing for the swell of the handle to be supported by the large bowl shaped indent of the palm and have the nipple supported by the fleshy edge part of the hand. (I didn't study the parts of the hand ... I'm sure there are better descriptions for these parts of the hand. Hopefully you understand the parts I'm referring to)
Step 4: Shaping the Point and the Hook
I carved away the flash in a similar method to the base of the tool.
I refined the shape with sand paper. I wanted to end up with a slight blunted point. This allows the hook to go through hoops without too much of a risk of spiting the yarn.
I used a nice fine-ish pull saw to make a 45 degree cut in the wood where I wanted my hook to be. I then carved to where the cut was to form the hook shape.
The real trick to making a good crochet hook is making it super smooth. I sanded to 300 grit before applying sanding seal and then sanded a little more. The sanding also allowed for a little finessing of of the hooks shape an properties. I like to round over the edges of the hook to make sure there are no available places for the yarn to snag.
Step 5: Finnishing
I finished this hook with melamine lacquer. I have tried other finishes and they all work but I find melamine is soothe enough to allow yarn to glide easily over it and easy to apply. I gave this hook one coat but I have been known to apply up to 5 or 6 when I want something to be glassy smooth and perfect.
Step 6: Find It a Good Home
Once you have made your crochet hook you will want to find a good home for it.
This one will be part of a birthday present for a friend of mine.
I hope she likes it.
If you make one of these hooks for yourself or a friend I would love to see it. If you would like some help let me know and I will try to be as helpful as possible.
If you do make one for a friend here is a heads up - You are likely to be asked to make more. I have made a lot of these and each time someone who loves crochet finds out.

I love your crochet hook. Do you still make these? I would love one for myself.
Can you purchase these wonderful hooks ?
Hello Red Robot 8. Absolutely. And the best part about commissioning a hook from me right now is the profits go partly to my favorite charity HAPPA.org.uk (they do fantastic work with animal cruelty and make the world a better place) and partly towards my upcoming wedding. I will give you a privet message and we can work out a price ect.
Great idea, thanks for sharing.

Whitley Co. UNITE sponsoring Kayaking for Kids race Aug. 19
Enthusiasts of kayaks, John Boats and tubing will have the chance to race in the Cumberland River this summer and raise some money to help the children of Whitley County.
Whitley County Projects Director Amber Owens announced during May 15 monthly Whitley County UNITE Coalition meeting that the Whitley County Tourism Commission would be holding the 'Kayaking for Kids' race on Aug. 19.
"We are going to have what I hope are pretty good prizes," Owens noted.
Proceeds from the event will go to provide 25 Upward basketball scholarships for children in Corbin and 25 Upward basketball scholarships for children in Williamsburg.
Owens said that the scholarships are for children, whose parents can't afford the participation fee.
The remainder of the proceeds from the race will be divided between family resource centers in Williamsburg, Whitley County and Corbin.
"They have told me the thing they need the most are shoes, socks and underwear. I guess those are things people don't really think to donate," Owens said. "The tourism board was looking for something to help out the kids in the area. These are two things that tend to be overlooked."
Owens said that the kayaks, John Boats and tubes will enter the river at the Ballard Ford East river access and will go 2.5 miles downstream where the race will end at the Red Bird boat ramp.
Owens said that people with their own tubes, kayaks or John Boats will be asked to drop them off at Ballard Ford and then drive their vehicles to Red Bird on the morning of the race. Shuttles will be there to take them back to Ballard Ford.
Sheltowee Trace will be renting kayaks that day, but not John Boats or tubes.
The pre-registration entry fee for the race is $20. Those that pre-register will receive a free t-shirt or tank top.
The entry free on the day of the race will be $30.
Registration will begin on the race day at 8 a.m., and the race will start at 10 a.m.
The start times for the kayaks, John Boats and tubes will be staggered by 15-minute increments.
Woodbine Fire and Rescue will have three boats stationed at different points along the route in the event of an emergency or if a participant needs help.
Reclaiming Futures juvenile drug court program will be selling breakfast at the event as a fundraiser.
Cornerstone Community Church will be providing a free lunch.
Corporate sponsors are being sought for the event.
Silver level sponsorships are $100 and include the company name on t-shirts and two race spots with racers providing their own kayak, boat or tube.
Gold level sponsorships are $250, and include four race spots, and the company's name on t-shirts and banners.
Platinum level sponsorships include six race sports, and the company name on t-shirts, banners and literature.
Life jackets must be worn the entire race.
For more information about the event, contact Owens at (606) 549-6000.
Owens, who is also the chairperson of the Whitley County UNITE Coalition, noted during the May 15 meeting that the recent Hooked on
Fishing overnight trip at Laurel Lake Baptist Camp went well.
The Whitley County UNITE Coalition also recently donated $1,000 to Whitley County High School's post prom lock-in.

New WT1 Thermal Rifle Scopes
SWShooter replied to CliveWard's topic in Riflescopes & NVAre they made with ATN components ? they look very similar.
I think the issue for some people would be the warranty , regardless of what you are told consumer law states the one you gave your cash to is the one who is responsible and that goods have to last a reasonable amount of time , there is no time limit , some and not many distributors allow warranty transfer and personally I`d want it in writing (email is sufficient) on such an item , ATN may say its got 12 months or what ever but I`d hate to have to post a G3 scope back and forth to the States due to ITAR regs - see long jail terms if you get it wrong. I don't know the quality of your G3 scope but from what Ive seen and read about ATN digital stuff its not as good as the Eastern European digital stuff , Russian tubes are also very good so you are up against that , also Russian /Pulsar G2+ scopes start around £1500 new with a 3 year warranty. Good Luck Anyway.

I do help out clients for free when it costs me next to nothing ...thats partly how I keep clients.
Death from above: ravens slaughter newborn lambs
SWShooter replied to maximus otter's topic in General DiscussionThe injured deer issue is being created buy criminals and if you know whos doing it you should help the Police address it ,trail cams can help, , with regards to your neighbouring shoot , it sounds like you either misunderstand how they are run or they have a very bad keeper , if the latter is correct then I doubt the shoot owner will keep him long , a good keeper hammers predators , its in his interest to do so , its also part of his job to minimise pheasants wandering off his estate through feeding in the right places and planting the right game crops. A well run shoot improves biodiversity be it through predator control or planting game crops/ increased field margins ,beetle banks etc, in general none shooting estates tend to offer less to biodiversity improvement. Theres a few big estate that run pheasant shoots not that far from you who do a lot for conservation http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/10828773.Marlborough_landowner_wins_gold_award_for_conservation_work/
Death from above: ravens slaughter newborn lambs
SWShooter replied to maximus otter's topic in General DiscussionThink your missing a trick there ,if your neighbour is releasing thousands of birds that wander onto your land you could sell the shooting on your land for a tidy sum , around £38 per pheasant is the going rate, its also wort noting that corvids are no friend of the Gamekeeper , he`ll keep their populations as low as he can.
Death from above: ravens slaughter newborn lambs
SWShooter replied to maximus otter's topic in General DiscussionIts about keeping the balance , no right minded person wants to wipe out a species but as humans are constantly changing habitats and nature cant keep the balance without help , ie culling when areas get over populated and assisting in areas where species are underpopulated or even extinct, over population causes unhealthy species etc and under population causes a lack of genetic diversity. Also over population of a species can and does cause imbalance in other species , the badger and hedgehog are a good example. Without game and deer shooters conservation would suffer negatively as land would be farmed more intensively - see countryside stewardship schemes.
I think it should be done as a good will gesture , particularly if youve done the chopping up for them.
Makes sense to me. Thumbs up.

I first arrived in San Francisco over 36 years ago! He wanted to thank me for being
so kind to him and for my patience and tolerance. He went on to become a respected
engineer, not that I had a thing to do with that. It is always nice, though...when
someone says thank you, after a quarter of a century.
This young man ( well, now about 50 ) is in the Bay area for a few weeks, visiting
from his home in Hawaii and we met for lunch at my favorite Thai restaurant in
San Francisco, Manivanh. We sat there and talked for nearly four hours! His
memory is so much better than mine, that's for sure. He was able to recall all of the
folks that worked in the mentoring program and all the other kids that participated.
For a short while, all the years fell away and I was just starting life in this city by
the Bay!! What a fun day it was.
I had another nice surprise, too. Years ago, when I was eating at Manivanh, I told
the owners that I wanted to have a special dish with green beans, eggplant, and a few
other ingredients...but there wasn't one specifically like it on the menu. "No problem,
we'll fix that for you!" Next time, I came in, Sam asked, "Do you want your
Carmen's special?" I've eaten it so many times over the years as have other people
with me, then it spread to friends of friends, medical folks from San Francisco General
until today, I looked at the menu and, lo and behold:

Travel companies place emphasis on improving websites in order to improve sales and bookings
The travel industry is enjoying a period of growth, with international tourism and spending on the rise for the past eight years now. In fact, the tourism industry is now one of the largest most robust industries in the world. Statistics show that as of 2017, the industry was worth more than $5.29 trillion worldwide thanks to a number of factors including increased flights and scheduling, new resorts and destinations that have been marketed efficiently, and technology, which has made it easier than ever to book a holiday.
With numbers like that, travel companies are now looking for ways they can improve their own sales and bookings, and the answer seems to lie with their websites.
Online Bookings are the Norm
Travel companies are always keen to follow the statistics and trends so that they can not only provide what customers want, but they also stay ahead of these trends and are ready to react. All you have to do is take a look at the numbers in 2018 and there is a clear trend that is taking place. That trend is online booking, which has never been easier and faster.
According to a report on StatusCake, 81% of people booked their holidays online last year, which is substantial, to say the least. Not only that, but it seems it is the beginning of the year, meaning right now, where bookings are typically made. Much of this can be blamed on the winter weather that has many thinking about escaping to warmer climates.
So, how can travel companies stay competitive in today's market and get their share of the profits? The answer lies in the quality and ease of use of their website.
Creating User-Friendly, High-Tech Experiences Online
For many travel companies and agencies out there, the days of clients showing up in person to speak to a travel agent are long gone. Just as so many industries have discovered, the online world is where it's at business-wise. With that said, many of these companies are now seeing the benefits of pouring resources, money, and time into creating an exceptional online experience for customers through online virtual travel agents and the website itself.
Just what makes the online experience exceptional? Well, there are a few things that stand out to customers, and one is a site that is easy to navigate, and another is that the content loads fast. Pricing and availability in the travel industry changes by the minute, so having a site that can load information quickly is not only a benefit but it's imperative in order to remain competitive.
Customers want to know they can rely on a site to provide them with the very latest pricing information and guarantee a spot in their top choice hotel or on the flight of their choice. They don't want to miss out on a deal simply because the page was too slow to load.
Here's an especially alarming statistic for these travel websites: if a customer has a negative experience online, they are 79% less likely to make a purchase from that site in the future.
The Statistics Don't Lie
So, as the travel industry continues to grow and evolve, companies are learning that the real bread and butter to securing business lies in the online experience they provide for customers.

China offers many benefits to SMEs looking to source their products cheaply and conveniently. Factories in China make just about anything you would need, typically at a lower cost than elsewhere, and Chinese suppliers are building a reputation as reliable salespeople with good English skills who deliver on what they promise. But doing business in China also comes with challenges, like cultural and language differences, longer shipping times, and less payment security. Here are some tips to ensure that finding and working with Chinese suppliers proceeds as smoothly as possible:
Take Advantage of International Online Marketplaces
Thanks to ecommerce sites like Alibaba, AliExpress and Global Sources, finding and communicating with potential suppliers is easier than ever. These sites can connect you to hundreds of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. Because of their sophisticated search capabilities and targeted filters, they work more efficiently than a traditional Google search, and they come with buyer protections.
Know Who's Who
It's important to understand the key differences among categories of suppliers before deciding with which one you want to partner:
- actually makes the product
- sells its products directly or through a distributor
- has a relationship with a manufacturer to sell its products to wholesalers and retailers
- often has exclusive buying agreement with the manufacturer (e.g., to cover a certain territory)
- serves as manufacturer's direct point of contact
- buys products from manufacturers or distributors for resale
- sell products to retailers
- buys products from distributors or wholesalers
- sell products directly to consumers
In general, the further down the supply chain you get (i.e., wholesalers and retailers), the higher the price per unit and the greater the likelihood of complications, like running out of stock. You also may find that these types of suppliers have a more aggressive sales approach than manufacturers, who tend to prioritize relationship building. On the plus side, wholesalers and retailers usually have a lower minimum order requirement (MOQ). If it's not obvious from the supplier's online profile in which category they fall (some fall into more than one), don't hesitate to ask them for clarification.
Communicate Concisely and Confidently
When you first reach out to potential suppliers, be sure that any written communication is as brief and to-the-point as possible. Rather than sharing unecessary details of your business, just provide only as much information as is needed to determine whether the supplier is a good fit. Some Chinese suppliers are challenged by English and inundated with requests from non-serious buyers, so a shorter email increases the chances of a response. It also avoids wasting too much of your time on what may turn out to be a mismatch.
Communicating confidently is another important tactic in dealing with Chinese suppliers. It helps to arm you against overeager salesmanship. If someone's trying too hard to sell you something you don't want, trust your instinct and say good-bye. To further protect yourself from situations like these, consider using a different email address for correspondence with suppliers than the one you typically use.
Confirm, Confirm, Confirm
Make sure that what you want is what you actually get by following these guidelines:
- Be very specific about your desired product, such as its color, size, material, quantity, etc.
- Verify what you see online. Some suppliers' online offerings are outdated, so double check that the product you want is in stock and as pictured.
- Obtain samples. Some suppliers provide samples for free or at a discounted rate. Shipping the samples may cost more than the samples themselves, but consider it an investment. It's the best way to ensure the product is to your liking. And it's also a test of the supplier's competence level. If the samples don't arrive on time and to your specifications, then that may be a sign to look elsewhere.
- Confirm payment information, such as product and shipping costs and payment terms. Be prepared for some suppliers to request full payment upfront.
Attend a Trade Fair in China
If time and budget allow, a trip to China to attend a traid fair may be worthwhile. The largest trade fair in China, The Canton Fair (also known as the China Import and Export Fair), takes place each spring and fall. In addition to attending the fair, you could also tour your suppliers' facilities and capitalize on the face-to-face interaction to build teamwork and trust.
Pay Your Supplier With an Online Money Transfer Service
Some Chinese suppliers may request payment via a wire transfer from your bank, but this method can be uncecesarily expensive. There are more modern, online methods that are just as secure yet involve significantly lower fees and more favorable foreign exchange rates. Use our comparison tool to find the cheapest cross-border payment provider for your needs.

Easy Thenkuzhal for Diwali
Janmashtami and Diwali are two major Hindu festivals when almost every-household in the country is busy making a variety of sweet and savory snacks. There is excitement in the air and a defiance to calorie counting as who can resist these crunchy snacks and after all festivals come once in a year so a little indulgence is expected.
According to the regions , people both In North and other parts have somewhat similar snacks too.
Some popular recipes we have from south is that of chaklis, murruku and thenkuzhal.
The ingredients and their proportions vary slightly but each is unique in taste , some with hints of pepper, cumin and sesame seeds. Some with aromatic caraway seeds/ajwain , the variety is endless.
The simplest that we can make absolutely no fuss , with even a beginner being able to make, is this crunchy crispy thenkuzhal. All you need are some simple ingredients found easily in the kitchen and a murruku press which is usually made of steel or even wood , having a choice of different plates with different shapes which you can use to press the dough into the oil.
Here is the recipe for this simple thenguzhal or murruku as it is also called.
1 cup rice flour ( any good brand from store )
1/4 cup roasted fried gram dal powdered ( called pottukadalai in Tamil )
1 /2 tsp ajwain or only 1 tsp white til can be added instead of ajwain.
Pinch of asafoetida powder
salt to taste.
1 tbsp melted ghee or oil
Oil for frying.
( Chakli Press required with the thenkuzhal/murruku plates to make thenkuzhal.)
Powder the gram dal in a mixie, sieve it well.
Measure the rice flour, powdered gram dal, and other ingredients and in a bowl, make a soft dough by adding water carefully.Add water in tablespoons so that you do not add excess water. The dough will come ttogetherto a soft firm ball.
Keep oil for frying , when oil is heated, pinch off a small ball of dough, put in the thenkuzhal /murruku pres, and squeeze directly into hot oil , or squeeze on a sieve and place it in hot oil.
Fry on medium flame till pale golden colour.
Store when completely cooled.

A new survey of 180 women living with HIV identifies the challenges they face in connecting to HIV care. A report of the findings was released by the Positive Women's Network–USA (PWN-USA) on Thursday, March 10, to coincide with National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD).
The hope is that the information gathered from the PWN-USA survey will help inform medical care and service delivery for women living with the virus. Most (67 percent) of the respondents were black, and "significant numbers" were low-income and unstably housed.
When asked the question "What one thing would help you stay in care?" respondents answered:
25% Transportation
18% Case management
17% Connection with other women living with HIV
11% Access to HIV specialist
10% Evening and weekend clinic hours
7% Other
6% Assistance paying for insurance
6% Assistance paying for medication
Breaking the information down further, the report also notes:
50% of respondents who had missed a medical appointment in the past year cited transportation as the reason.
32% of respondents had missed filling a prescription for HIV medications in the past year. Primary reasons were: lack of transportation (24%), copay cost (15%), and pharmacy hours (11%).
50% of participants who reported needing child care services on site at their medical provider did not receive those services.
17% of respondents had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
64.9% had been diagnosed with depression.
Nearly two-thirds (64.6%) of respondents reported that they would like to see someone for counseling or therapy. Of those, 59% were able to access therapy as needed. Others reported that cost, lack of coverage, lack of available services or waitlists for services presented a barrier.
The report concludes with a series of recommendations, such as expanding the sexual and reproductive health care services throughout the Ryan White Program, enhancing the availability of mental health services and instituting trauma-informed practices.

actually say it
so i dont have the nerve to ask my crush out i have a letter or a song (i am really good at singing)
which one should i do if you think none of them plz give me advice how to talk to him
If you're really good at singing go for it!
Although, a song can be embarrassing for the other person so I still think you should try the normal way...
~You've to take your life how it comes. Your life, it's only one.
Twins with: santa123fawr (MeSpirit/Mel)
oh by the way if he's playing a game (im doing it at break) i will ask him for a private chat...
i will also count how many of each one has been voted and see which one's the most!
I will also ask my friends !!!!
this is so exciting for me.
i have done a poll 2 make things easier
I don't think you should do any-espacialy just tell him.
Hang out,and maybe even go to prom!
I'm inactive. Thanks for everything.
Marie i wish i could but he's getting all these signs so i have to ask him out!!
And also i don't think we'll know each other when it's prom since we're 9!
Also do they have prom in england?
Our school just has discos
Yes, they have proms, at the end of Y11 and Y13.
Send him a letter if you're too shy to ask him out, then.
Letter would work.I vote letter.
DO NOT tell him.Ignore those votes.Very bad.
Write a lettr I thnk I'm goin 2 write a luv lettr 2 meh crush 2 xoxo well gud luck!
a cute small note will do.. if you have a cute sticky notepad or something like it.. you can write a short note to tell him how you think he's a great guy and if he would like to hang out some time.. saying more than that on the first try might overwhelm him too much, so don't push it.. keep it simple and sweet.
here are pics to give you an idea... goodluck!

Keys are Python bytes objects and sorted like Python bytes objects (which use lexicographic sorting).SpotlightKid wrote:One remark about the docs: I don't see any mention of what the implicit sort order of keys is. If it is alphabetical, which I assume, which encoding is used and is it by code point or lexicographical?
It will be interesting to revisit this question when we have a lot of software leveraging the current capabilities of the module. I'm personally waiting for a killer app (say, 1000 github stars).Can the sort method be changed?
Patches welcome.Apart from that the docs have the (usual ) inconsistent use of single and double backticks, which is all over the docs. I admit, it's easy to get this wrong, especially when one often writes Markdown at other times.

Jared Kushner is registered to vote in New York as a woman
President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is registered as a female voter in the state of New York, according to Wired.com.
Public records show that when he registered to vote in New York in 2009, Kushner checked the box marked "female" for his gender, although it is presumed to be a simple mistake and not an intentional act of deception.
Democratic political action group American Bridge pointed out the error and excoriated Kushner as as too incompetent to properly register to vote.
"Kushner can't even fill out the most basic paperwork without screwing it up, so it's a mystery why anyone thinks he's somehow going to bring peace to the Middle East," said American Bridge spokesman Brad Bainum. "Would anyone but the president's son-in-law still have a West Wing job after repeated disclosure errors and a botched a security clearance form?"
Kushner's prior New Jersey voter registration lists his gender as "unknown," said Wired.
Kushner has had to repeatedly amend his application for a security clearance adding more than 100 names to the list of his foreign contacts before and during the 2016 election and transition. Those contacts included multiple Russians with ties to the Kremlin and Russian banks.

Hey Everybody!
Just to catch up a little bit, last Friday we flew to San Diego. The night before I was in the ER with chest pains and a terrible rash on my legs. Long story short, after a cardiac workup everything checked out fine. That rash was weird…when the bumps popped out they already had scabs on them! Very bizarre! The Doctor was worried it was a bad side effect from my chemo so he called my oncologist's partner who agreed to see me before our flight left the next morning. They said my counts were too low to travel. So with bags already in the car and a flight leaving in an hour, we headed to the airport. The point of this blog is that I made a very deliberate decision to try to live my life as fully as possible and suffer the consequences, rather than stay at home afraid of becoming sick! No way to live! And I didn't have any problems except a couple of extra pounds from all the wonderful seafood I ate while in Southern California!
So this morning I had to go back to the Doctor with my tail between my legs for a follow up visit. And my counts are very low. Too low to restart the Revlimid chemo. To which I silently said yippee! (That Revlimid sucks!) Dr. Ravipati will call Dr. Garcia-Manero at MD Anderson and find out what he wants to do. So I started another round of 3 neupogen shots in 3 days, and will make 2 more treks to Amarillo this weekend for shots.
Speaking of all this chemo and troubles stuff, while in San Diego at the cocktail lounge in our hotel, a young couple was sitting next to us at the bar. The guy's crutches slid over and bumped Wade. Those of you that know Wade, he had to make comment…."How'd you hurt your leg, ski accident during Spring Break?" We had just connected through the Denver airport and no joke, saw lots of kids on crutches! No, he just returned from Afghanistan on medical leave and was seeing the Doctor the next day in San Diego for his foot that was injured in an explosion. His 3rd tour. He was stationed at Pendleton. He and his very cute wife are from Chicago and had gotten married 4 months ago, and his honeymoon was a plane trip back to Afghanistan. Oddly enough, he took a book along on that plane trip to read, "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell.
OK yall, right before the crutches incident, Wade and I were talking about my troubles in the ER, low blood counts, traveling outside my Dr.'s recommendation, etc, etc, etc, cancer is not for sissies, etc, etc, etc. I was totally blown away. It just totally put everything into perspective for me. I cried, and somehow managed to write Adam and Lauren a note on a cocktail napkin, telling them thank you and what a blessing they had been to me. All we have to do is look around and realize people make sacrifices for us every day every minute. Well, not coincidentally, Marcus Luttrell was speaking at our convention 2 days later so Wade offered to try to get Adam and Lauren in as guests to hear the speech. His Doctor's appointments were the following day, so this worked out great. They made it to the speech, and purchased a book and got to talk to Marcus and get their book signed. Wow….this was awesome! Especially since his first copy of the book didn't make it back from Afghanistan!
Those of you that don't know about Marcus Luttrell, he was born in Texas, was a Navy Seal, and the lone survivor of Operation Redwing and the lost heroes of Seal Team 10 in Afghanistan. Read this book! He spoke for an hour and a half and it is an unbelievable, amazing story. This is the second time we have heard him speak. Again, you've gotta read this book!
I got some great pics of Adam and Lauren with Marcus. Thank you Adam and Lauren for being such a blessing to me! So here they are. More pictures of San Diego will follow later! Have a great weekend!
