English is the native language of around 400 million people, with many others speaking it as a second language. English is classified as a West Germanic language and is thought to have first been expressed in the early middle ages, over 1000 years ago. It has much in common with the Frisian and Romance languages.
There are a lot of great features that come with mobile devices. A great many people use their smartphones or tablets. For them they have the opportunity to enjoy a mobile casino. This is an online casino that has been configured to operate on small devices. Many of the online casinos offer this version of play.
Most that have a mobile device such as a smartphone can access the internet whenever they like. Those with tables can easily rely on WiFi. All of this means that they have the opportunity to log into mobile casinos to enjoy a full roster of casino gaming action. This can be done wherever and whenever they like.
A reputable online casino is one that has been properly licenced by the gaming authorities. The same applies for mobile casinos. The licence dictates what rules the casino must abide by in order to offer their game play. These are the rules and regulations that are going to protect their players and apply to mobile casino play.
It is very tempting to spend more money than what one can afford to when playing at a mobile casino. This temptation is there because mobile casinos can be accessed via mobile devices no matter where one is. It is up to the player to know what their gambling limits are and to not go beyond this.

|"This isn't over."
|— Blackstar threatening ThunderClan and WindClan at the Gathering in Sunset, page 162
- Below contains in-depth information for chapter twelve of Sunset. If you are looking for a shorter summary of the entire book, please check the main article.
- Chapter Number: 12 (of 23)
- Page Numbers: 161-177
Chapter description
- Leafpool is at the Gathering when fighting breaks out. She is terrified, so she prays to StarClan for her to help them. The battle starts to fade as if StarClan had answered her. They all look up at the now threatening sky. Barkface points out that StarClan must be angry with them. There were yowls of protest but Firestar silences them by saying Barkface is right. She remembered the prophecy of "There could be no peace until blood had spilled blood." Firestar then declares that the gathering is over. Every other leader agrees except Blackstar. Hawkfrost calls out that they will discuss this at the next Gathering. Leafpool thinks that it isn't Hawkfrost's decision because he isn't Clan leader. Leafpool mistrusts him, asking herself how much influence Hawkfrost had on Brambleclaw. The Clans begin to depart. She struggles through the crowd of cats. She had to still speak to Mothwing about the catmint. She also thinks Heavystep is dead because of her. She decides that Mothwing would find it or that elder would be fine without it. She starts thinking about the prophecy Mothwing spoke about. She thinks if Mothwing could get a message like that, Mudfur would not have needed to tell her about the catmint. She concludes that Mothwing lied in front of the Gathering.
- She wants to understand what Mothwing had against Stormfur and Brook, since the Prophecy was obviously about them not belonging in RiverClan. She remembers the tension between Mothwing and Hawkfrost, and realizes that this could have been Hawkfrost's idea. She also realizes that that Hawkfrost could have tried to coerce Mothwing into lying. She was a loyal medicine cat, and refused to tell Leopardstar about any of Leafpool's dreams before now because she hates lying.
- She spots Mothwing under the shelter of a root on the Great Oak tree with Willowpaw. Hawkfrost appears, stalking towards his sister. He calls Mothwing a mouse-brained idiot, saying that she ruined everything. She turns to Willowpaw and tells her to go and find Mistyfoot. Willowpaw left, giving Hawkfrost a swift glance. Hawkfrost says that Mothwing let him down and said she would tell the gathering about that dream. He continues saying that they would have driven out those mangy interlopers. He finally states that she would be lucky for anyone to believe her the next time she opens her mouth.

Teenager admits role in Ipswich McDonald's violence
PUBLISHED: 13:00 20 November 2018 | UPDATED: 13:00 20 November 2018
A 17-year-old youth accused of being involved in a fight in the car park of an Ipswich McDonald's restaurant during which a 16-year-old boy was stabbed has admitted an offence of violent disorder.
The youth, who cannot be named because of his age, had denied the charge but changed his plea to guilty on the second day of his trial at Ipswich Crown Court today.
The court heard he had earlier admitted having a knife during the incident, which took place at the Ravenswood branch of McDonald's on June 13.
He will now no longer be part of the trial and will be sentenced for the two offences he has admitted at a later date.
Also before the court are the 16-year-old victim of the alleged stabbing, who has denied violent disorder and Rishawn Mohammed, 18, of Hurricane Place, Ipswich, who has denied wounding the 16-year-old with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm, violent disorder and having a knife.
The court has heard the 16-year-old victim of the stabbing, who is now 17, was with a 17-year-old friend in the car park at the Ravenswood McDonald's and was seen arguing and fighting with Mohammed.
During the incident Mohammed had allegedly pulled out a large red handled kitchen knife with a 12cm blade and "plunged" it into the 16-year-old's groin.
The injured teenager slumped to the ground in between two cars and his friend had produced a knife and chased after Mohammed but couldn't catch him, said Andrew Jackson, prosecuting.
Following the attack the injured teenager, who was bleeding heavily from a cut to a major artery to his groin, underwent emergency surgery and made a good recovery.
Mr Jackson said had it not been for prompt medical intervention he would "almost certainly" have died.
The court heard that on June 13 the injured youth and his friend had been driven to McDonald's in a car which had a window sticker saying: "Knives cost lives."
The court heard that following his arrest the 17-year-old initially lied to police by claiming a blue handled knife found in his pocket had been the knife used by Mohammed in the stabbing but later admitted it was his knife.
Following the stabbing the red handled knife and Mohammed's blood stained clothes were found in a bag in a car containing three people, including his grandmother, which was stopped by police in Nacton Road.
The trial continues.

For those of you lucky enough to be in the dark about what the term "shop-banned" means, please let me explain. It was not that long ago that I decided to try to become a more serious Restocker- one who patrols a set of the Neopian Shops, looking for items which can be resold at a profit. As there are many articles in the Neopian Times Archives dealing with the fine art of Restocking, I will not deal with that here. If anyone does choose to go comb through the Archives, be sure to tell Finneus that I sent you- he may be the Keeper of the Altadorian Archives, but he is also a student of all Neopian knowledge and can often be found amongst the NT stacks. (It could be a crush on a certain Weewoo, but I don't like to start rumours). Now, what these guides may not tell you is just how addictive the act of Restocking can be. For every item you buy in a shop which can make you a tidy profit, there are many more you miss out on. For me, this leads to a bit of an obsession- I refuse to stop trawling the shops until I get at least one unbuyable, or at least nearly unbuyable, item per day. And sometimes this leads to many hundreds of page refreshes, and this can lead to being shop-banned. And here we come to the meat of the issue.
Let's say your favourite shops are the Chocolate Factory, the Book Shop, and Fine Furniture. These are a few shops which can make you nice profits, and so you go from one to the next to the next and back again, waiting for them to restock, trying to be the first to click on the most profitable item when it does. As these are shops which sell out and are empty between restocks, it is normal to be clicking between empty shops for a few minutes, waiting for these restocks to occur. But then, horribly, you notice that the shops seem to be taking quite a while to restock. You get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. You begin to wonder, "Have I been shop-banned?" Because, you see, when you are shop-banned, ALL of the shops in Neopia will appear empty to you. The often banned know to head over to the Tiki Tack shop on Mystery Island to confirm the banned status. As the Tiki Tack shop has many items which are not profitable, it never empties out. And so, if it appears empty to you, you are, indeed, shop-banned. When you do pop in on the Tombola guy who mans this souvenir hut, please say hello for me- I am a frequent, though reluctant, visitor to his shop.
And so, what to do now? Shop-bans can last from minutes (as I have been told but cannot confirm) to hours, to up to a day. When I am banned, it tends to last nearly, but not quite, a full 24 hours. And, as I have stated, I can become obsessed with the idea of making a minimum amount of profit per day. So here is a list of ways to make profit while shop-banned:
*You can head to the Games Room and play your favourites, making sure to check out the Featured Game for extra NP.
*There are those Neopians, called "Snipers", who make most of their profit by using the Shop Wiz to find under priced items in private shops. These items are often map pieces, job coupons, battledome weapons, codestones and dubloons, etc. I find that these items are snapped up pretty quickly, so it is a bit of a waste of my time to try and get them for my own profit. Rather, I like to find a few of the highest priced items in my own shop to search for. If someone has drastically undercut my price on an item, I scoop it up to resell at my higher (yet still fair) price. The key is to not end there. I then search through this person's shop to see if perhaps everything is well below average. I then use my trusty Super Shop Wiz to price every likely looking item in their shop, and grab and resell the items which are worth it to me. Searching an item in one shop often leads to another shop which has it priced even lower, and then I search through all of the items in that shop as well. I have bought Paint Brushes and even more profitable items from the shops I have found in this manner. Now, I would ask you to send my regards to the Super Shop Wizard the next time you require his services, but I am afraid he is tired of me asking him for favours. As happens several times every day, the Wiz will ban me from making searches if I ask too many times. And I always ask too many times.
*When Wiz-banned, you can then move onto other areas of profit. I try the Neopian Auction House sometimes, though not often. There are many Auction Snipers who are experts at seeing the items which are profitable and bidding at the last possible moment. This is not my area of expertise, but I do look through a few pages of auctions to see if I can see any items that I do know the value of or items with no bids.
*You can also try the Igloo Garage Sale. Like the regular shops, though, you can eventually get banned from here as well.
*You can try to find great items which other Neopians decided to discard or donate at the Money Tree, Rubbish Dump, or the Second Hand Clothing Shop.
*You can head to the Faerieland Employment Agency and do up to five jobs per day. Some of these can be quite profitable.
But, in the end this can all seem like counting small potatoes compared to Restocking, which has made me the majority of my profits. I will tell you that one thing I never do is to go through the Trading Post listings and offer junk on lots, or try to take advantage of users' inexperience. I don't appreciate it when people do this to me and I won't do it to others. When all avenues of profit-making become fruitless or tedious, an avatar-hunting Neopian like myself can always try to improve my skills at avatar awarding games, or even attempt (once again) to make it into the illustrious pages of the most awesome Neopian Times. Happily, the Wiz is compassionate and will lift his ban at the beginning of the next hour.
And so I log off at the end of the day with my shop as full as possible and hope for sales while I sleep. It is with happy anticipation that I log on the next day, check my sales, empty my till, and pay a visit to my friend in the Tiki Tack shop. Usually I am still shop-banned at this point and continue with my Dailies. Until, oh happy shining point of every day, I click on shop #21 and see the Tombola guy showing off his Coconut God Souvenirs, Hularoos, and Cherry Wish Sticks and the cycle begins again.
Like wiz-bans, shop-bans are random and can happen after a few hours, and sometimes, after just a few minutes. Those are the days which seriously dent my profit-making goals. As a parting piece of advice, if you don't think you can control yourself and keep from being shop-banned, do NOT restock on the second of the month. I have kicked myself every time I have been banned for most or all of Half-Price Day on the third of every month. Good luck, may your bans be seldom and short, and may you reach all of your NeoGoals!

PlayStation Network has been active for over a decade. That means many people are stuck with the PSN ID they hurriedly made for themselves as teenagers or children. Finally, the less fortunate among us have the option to right the wrongs of their younger selves. As of writing, PSN ID changes will officially go live later today on the PlayStation 4.
Sony announced the news on the PlayStation Blog. Of course, there are a few caveats that PlayStation fans may want to consider before jumping at the chance to switch things around. Sony has noted in the past that every PS4 game published after April 1, 2018 should adhere to the PSN ID changes. However, this isn't a guarantee, as not every title has been tested with the name change feature. Don't fret, though. As Social Media Director Sid Shuman noted in the blog post, "the large majority of most actively played PS4 games support the feature."
There are only two ways players can implement a name change: Via PS4 settings or in a web browser. The first name change will be offered free of charge. However, each time thereafter will cost players $9.99, and there's no limit to how many times a name change can be applied. For those who change their PSN ID and later decide they want to revert back to the previous one, this, too, can be done for free.
As with anything this monumental, there are risks to changing a PSN ID. Some of the more worrying issues that players may encounter include a loss of Trophy progress, leaderboard data, and saved game progress. Additionally, some DLC, including that of the paid variety, may no longer be accessible following a name change. A list of games that are officially compatible with the online ID changes has been provided on the PlayStation website.
For more information on the matter and an FAQ rundown, be sure to visit the aforementioned PlayStation Blog post.

Ugh -- this story keeps getting worse and worse. On Tuesday, police searched Subway pitchman Jared Fogle's home looking for evidence tied to the May 4 arrest of the director of the Jared Foundation on child pornography charges. We don't know what they found, if anything, but according to a 16-page charging document, 43-year-old Russell Taylor was into some very disturbing things.
It's disgusting to think that someone who ran a charity teaching healthy eating and exercise habits to kids would take advantage of them like that, but according to the report, Taylor was in possession of 400 videos, most of them showing nude children unaware that they were being filmed.
Oh yeah, he may have also been into bestiality. Sick!
The case started in September 2014, when "Jane Doe" told the police that Taylor had offered to send her text messages with videos or images of young girls. The unidentified woman said that she became friendly with Taylor through her husband, and the friendship continued after she was widowed in 2013.
The relationship took a romantic turn, and "text messages concerning sexual matters were exchanged." He asked her if he and another woman could come to her house and have sex with an animal, and allegedly sent her pictures of bestiality and offered to send more photos of "young girls."
She told investigators, "You could tell he was serious." When she was asked if he had ever talked to her abut a desire to have sex with minors, she replied, "Not that I can remember, but he's the type of person that seems to be very sexually involved in whatever goes."
On April 29, police searched Taylor's Indianapolis home and found computers and storage devices containing over 400 videos of four minor children, in various states of undress or nude. Three of the kids, two girls and a boy, have a known relationship with Taylor, and a third girl was also filmed. All four would sleep over at his house at times, and none appeared to be aware they were being filmed.
More from The Stir: Man Addicted to Child Pornography Explains What Made Him That Way
Police determined that the kids were between the ages of 9–16, based on time stamps. Taylor said that he had hidden a camera in a child's bedroom "to determine if the child was having sex with her boyfriend or stealing things." He added, "I've had nanny cams forever."
Ugh ugh ugh! This guy worked with children! Jared Fogle severed ties immediately with Taylor upon his arrest and has been working with the police at his own volition. His lawyer Ron Elberger said, "Jared has been cooperating, and continues to cooperate, with law enforcement in their investigation of unspecified charges and looks forward to its conclusion ... He has not been detained, arrested, or charged with any crime or offense."
Subway also issued a statement Tuesday, saying that it is "very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely."
Are you horrified by this story?

Research Councils UK (RCUK) and the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) have agreed a pioneering Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to welcome, encourage and support applications that may cut across their national boundaries and involve international collaborative teams.
The RCUK-FAPESP Memorandum of Understanding (RCUK website) underpins a 'Lead Agency Agreement' whereby the relevant UK Research Council will receive and assess collaborative proposals from eligible institutions on behalf of both organisations. However, FAPESP-nominated experts will be involved with the peer review and decision-making processes throughout.
ESRC accepts applications under the terms of the MoU to our Research Grants scheme.
Collaborative research proposals may be submitted in any area of the social sciences within the remit of both the ESRC and FAPESP. There is no deadline, and proposals will be accepted on an ongoing basis until expiry of the MoU on 31 December 2020. Proposals should be drafted and will be assessed according to the criteria set out in the International Common Application Process.
Collaborative research proposals should be submitted only to the ESRC, which will take the lead role in processing and assessing applications with input from the FAPESP. A decision on bilateral proposals will be made by ESRC's Research Committee, within its normal standard grants competition. Those proposals approved for funding will be jointly supported by the ESRC and FAPESP.
Applicants should note the following in preparing their application:
- In order to receive support from FAPESP, the Brazilian partners must be based at an institution eligible for their support. These are higher education and research organisations, public or non-profit in the State of São Paulo.
- Applicants should contact FAPESP to confirm their eligibility before submitting an application. For eligible applicants, FAPESP will provide a letter confirming eligibility which should be attached to the joint funding application.
- Proposals should be submitted via Je-S into the Research Grants (Open Call). The costs being requested from ESRC for the UK part of the project should be a minimum of £350,000, and no more than £1,000,000 (at 100% full Economic Cost). Please note that for FAPESP, the budget should be in line with FAPESP funding rules of the chosen scheme. FAPESP applicants do not need to request equal amounts from both sides. The difference in values should reflect the difference in costs covered and local prices.

Total Impact: Using data to make a difference
"No company is an island. Their actions, both direct and indirect, have an impact not just on their workplace and employees but also the world around them."
Now, a new approach known as Total Impact (TI) is helping them work out their full effect on society, the environment and the economy.
It looks to build on existing financial reporting, as well as concepts such as corporate sustainability and integrated reporting, and could help to offer a more complete picture of a company's role in wider society. "What's new about TI is the methodology," says Philip Hirst, Director – Upstream Sustainability Services in JLL.
"Exponents of TI are leading the way in collecting data which will be able to tell us, for instance, at a strategic level, whether a real estate business's total contribution is negative or positive, or at a more granular level, how building managers can reduce crime in their local areas".
Businesses with purpose
TI is more than just a nice-to-have as corporate reporting remains in the spotlight. The global financial crisis focused attention on the role of banks and investors, including real estate investors, in society. The Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, famously warned investors against being "socially useless". Support has also grown among business leaders, with the PwC's latest Global CEO Survey showing that 76 percent of company bosses believe that "business success in the 21st century will be defined by more than just financial profit".
In the UK, The Crown Estate is setting the pace, using what it calls "Total Contribution" to measure and communicate its impact economically, environmentally and socially. It has published its methodology so that other organizations can follow suit.
JLL has also been piloting a TI assessment of its UK business. Sophie Walker, UK Head of Sustainability at JLLcomments: "We're conscious that society increasingly expects business to be able to articulate its social and economic contribution. For example, as well as understanding our carbon emissions and our corporate community investment, we now know that our supply chains support over 4,000 jobs. We are still in the process of calculating all of our impacts, but we expect that the TI assessment process will prove incredibly valuable in influencing decision making in the future".
JLL joins several other real estate companies that have also begun measuring their TI including Hammerson, Land Securities, British Land, Derwent London and Intu. Outside of real estate, the Paris-based Kering Group, which owns the Gucci and Puma brands, is going in the same direction through its Environmental Profit and Loss accounts.
"We are seeing more and more clients doing it," says Hirst, "Buildings are a major component of any business' impact and so the real estate sector is well-placed to set an example here." There are many impact areas which can be considered – including energy use, water stress, waste, emissions, property taxes paid, the number of people employed to look after real estate, the way attractive buildings contribute to the local area, how derelict properties encourage antisocial behavior and – very importantly – the well-being of individuals both inside and outside those buildings.
All this information can be useful to a business in its normal decision-making. For instance, an organization could well decide the cost of sprucing up its buildings is worthwhile if it finds that this has other positive impacts, such as improved community wellbeing or local employment.
The hidden experience of the property sector
With its experience of measuring energy usage, the real estate sector is "well placed to understand its TI position better than many other industries," says Hirst. Indeed, real estate businesses have more experience of working with TI than they might realize. For a start, they are already used to the whole thought process of working out whether a real estate project is justified or not. "When a local authority grants planning permission it is trying to weigh up the overall situation, the TI, of a project," says Hirst.
Collecting data is far less challenging in most areas than companies might fear – as they already hold much of it. Energy and emissions use is measured by accounting and sustainability departments, for instance. Accounts staff can also help with some of the trickier calculations – such as deciding how to link impacts with the value of buildings. Furthermore, the real estate sector already has considerable insights into its economic impact through measuring impacts like job creation, inward investment, training and skills and taxes paid.
What's more complicated is measuring factors such as the well-being and happiness of residents as this is more subjective. But it can be done by getting feedback from the individuals involved, particularly through on-street surveys, or increasingly more place-related data is available in the public domain or through smart technology.
But why should any organization take this route if its main fiduciary obligations and reporting are focused on their shareholders? "Your shareholders are also in the environment, in society and in the economy," says Hirst.
Total Impact may still be in its early stages but as more businesses attach more importance to their footprint, it stands to play a key role in providing the information needed to make decisions with an enhanced understanding of their impacts that previously was impossible.

CamSur, Quezon provinces declare state of calamity in 'Tisoy' aftermath
CAMARINES SUR, Philippines – The onslaught of Typhoon Tisoy has left more than P257-million worth of damage in agriculture in the province.
This has prompted the provincial government of Camarines Sur to place the province under a state of calamity.
According to the assessment of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC), a total of 9,382 farmers suffered huge losses or considered economically displaced due to the typhoon.
Meanwhile, about 9,259.56 hectares of palay were also damaged.
Gil Dialiano Jr. was among those affected farmers who lament over their loss after the typhoon submerged their entire farmland.
This added to the burden of slumping prices of rice in the market, he said.
"Umani nga pero lugi naman dahil mura ang palay," he said.
"Inabot ng baha kaya luging lugi talaga," he added.
Overall, Typhoon Tisoy left more than P257-million worth of damage to the province's agriculture.
"Ang dahilan po nito, ang damages po ng Camarines Sur na na-incur pagdating sa flooding, pagdating po sa damage houses, pagdating sa agriculture most especially" noted PDRRMC-CamSur Spokesperson Estel Estropia.
Similarly, the provincial government of Quezon also declared a state of calamity following the typhoon.
Such a declaration will allow local governments to utilize their respective calamity funds for the rehabilitation of the affected places.
Based on initial assessment, damage to agriculture in the entire province of Quezon has hit more than a billion pesos worth in the aftermath of the typhoon.
"Ang mga nasa vegetative stage, flowering stage at ang iba naman ay harvesting stage na ay dumapa at naapektuhan," noted Quezon Province provincial administrator Roberto Gajo.
So far, authorities are still completing the damage assessment in infrastructures in the province.
Quezon province recorded two casualties from the onset of Typhoon Tisoy. – MNP (with inputs from Nel Maribojoc / Japhet Cablaida)

In general, service quality, and banking service quality in specific has become one of the most important factors that can realize and exceeds customer satisfaction. Thus, the purpose of this research is to identify the role of bank service quality in achieving customer satisfaction through measuring the service quality dimensions using a sample of 50 customers of some public banks at Baghdad. In order to measure the expected and the perceived service quality, the researcher applied the Parasurman et. al. model based on five service dimensions which are tangibility, assurance, empathy, responsiveness, and reliability. The author used two questionnaires one is designed to measure the expected service quality, while the other is used to measure the perceived service quality. In addition, the SPSS statistical package was used to analyze the two questionnaires. The statistical analysis revealed that there is a strong relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction, and there is a gap between the expected service quality and the perceived service quality according to customers surveyed. The author has reached to many recommendations, the most important of which is that the studied banks should benefit from the results reached in this research in evaluating their services, and in drawing future polices and strategies to improve the bank service quality.

"Then are You a King?" – Pilate could not accept the Truth Who looked him in the face
Reflections on the readings for the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe (November 25, 2018): DN 7:13-14;PS 93:1-2,5; RV 1:5-8; JN 18:33-37
MISSIO offers "Preaching Mission," as a homily help, providing connections to mission from the readings of Sundays, Feast Days and Holy Days.
Today we celebrate the feast established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 in honor of Christ the King.
He saw the day as the Church's response to the rising secularism and atheism of the times. As followers of Christ, we need to recognize His supreme power in time and eternity. The Son of God, our Savior and the head of the Church reigns now and always – and we need to acknowledge this to truly understand the boundless love He has for us and our personal relationship with Him.
In the Gospel for this day, we hear the questions and answers between Jesus and Pontius Pilate. The Roman procurator thought he knew exactly what a king should be. He knew about Caesar and other lesser monarchs. They certainly had earthly power, but they used it for themselves, out of pride and a desire to control others. The Prisoner who stood before him that Good Friday knew better. "Jesus answered, 'You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice" (John 18:37). Of course, Pilate and those who goaded him into trying and convicting our innocent and holy Lord grasped nothing of truth. But those of us who worship Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life, are privileged to call Him our King and grateful to serve Him all our days.

Longtime "Gelotti" employee, owner and award-winning gelato master Mike Guerriero is headed in his own direction.
Guerriero and his wife will be rebranding Gelotti Montclair, Caldwell and Randolph, and calling them "Gelati by Mike." The trio will be breaking off from the flagship store in Paterson.
The rebranding will kick off with the launch of Gelati by Mike in Randolph on July 21. The other two will be ready by August.
The Guerrieros -- along with Mike's aunt and uncle -- are also taking over the Hillery Street Restaurant and Grill in Totowa and reopening as the Hillery Luncheonette this fall.
Gelotti opened in Paterson in 1984 and quickly became one of the best ice cream shops in North Jersey.
The Guerrieros -- who grew up on the stuff -- took over the Caldwell shop in 2014 and later opened Montclair and Randolph stores as franchise locations.
The Guerrieros are ready for the next chapter.
"We're really trying to let customers know that it's us, it's still Bre and Mike," said Guerriero, who has won countless awards for his creations, including a first place award at the Gelato Festival America for his Blueberry Basil creation.
"Everyone's favorite flavors and staff will still be there, but the best has yet to come."

OOTD - Red Checked Scarf
I do love a good scarf!
I bought this beauty the other day from Primark, I kind of tricked myself into thinking that I needed it for the cold walk back to my car after work, as I have to park far away to avoid paying.
It was only £5, so I thought why not! and it did come in handy, as it started to chuck it down with rain when I was half way!
I think scarfs are just so handy for the autumn, for obvious practical reasons, and also how they add style points to any outfit, whether it's adding some colour to something plain, or adding contrast to make an outfit more edgy.
and plus I just like hugging them when they are all soft and new!
This is a pretty standard autumn outfit really, tights, long jumper, leather jackets and boots.
And then the scarf just ties it all together nicely.
My love for these boots are steadily growing!
I bought them from a car boot sale, just with a cos-play outfit in mind.
They were only £2.50 and I thought, that they would do.
But when I wore them, I realised how ridiculously comfy they are, and thought that they would make some sturdy winter boots!
I also love how beaten and scruffy they already look, which adds a nice grungy edge to outfits!

LGBT educators struggle to balance professionalism and pride in the classroom, splittling, knitting, or quittting, in the words of the authors.
Labor unions have been on the decline for sixty years in the U.S., though they raise wages, decrease inequality, and give voice to workers. Can they rise again?
Racial attachments are understood to be socially constructed and endogenous to gender, socioeconomic, and religious identities. Yet we know surprisingly little about the effect of such identities on the particular racial labels that individuals self-select. In this article, I investigate how social identities shape the racial labels chosen by biracial individuals in the United States, a rapidly growing population who have multiple labeling options.
Does the dissemination of organizational financial information shift power dynamics within workplaces, as evidenced by increasing workers' wages? That is the core question of this investigation. We utilize the 2004 and 2011 series of the British Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS) to test whether employees who report that their managers disclose workplace financial data earn more than otherwise similar workers not privy to such information.
Although several studies have examined the association between religious involvement and physical functioning, there is no consistent empirical evidence concerning the true nature of the association. The Hispanic population is also surprisingly understudied in previous work. In this article, we employ seven waves of data from the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly to examine the association between religious attendance and performance-based mobility trajectories among older Mexican Americans.
Recent decades have seen the influence of the professions decline. Lately, commentators have suggested a revived role for a "new" professionalism in ensuring and enhancing high-quality health care in systems dominated by market and managerial logics. The form this new professionalism might take, however, remains obscure. This article uses data from an ethnographic study of three English health care improvement projects to analyze the place, potential, and limitations of professionalism as a means of engaging clinicians in efforts to improve service quality.
This study examines the relationship between interreligious contact and negative attitudes toward the religious outgroup among minority Christians and majority Muslims in Indonesia. It answers two research questions: Does interreligious contact reduce negative outgroup attitudes equally for minority Christians and majority Muslims? Are mediation by perceived group threat and moderation by perceived discrimination equally important for religious minorities and majorities?
Recent methodological debates in sociology have focused on how data and analyses might be made more open and accessible, how the process of theorizing and knowledge production might be made more explicit, and how developing means of visualization can help address these issues. In ethnography, where scholars from various traditions do not necessarily share basic epistemological assumptions about the research enterprise with either their quantitative colleagues or one another, these issues are particularly complex.
This paper reconceptualizes "individualism" as a discursive strategy of action through which everyday Americans attempt to manage the cultural dilemma of engaging in externally imposed social obligations within a broader individualistic culture.
To comply with ideals of multiculturalism and diversity, postsecondary institutions incorporate Latino students into distinct campus cultures. These cultures influence how students interact with one another, the university community at large, and communities outside of campus, ultimately shaping how students inhabit Latino politics. Drawing on data from 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork with six student organizations and 60 in-depth interviews, I compare Latino student organizations in a liberal arts college, a research university, and a regional public university.

Nearly nine months after federal regulators voted to do away with net neutrality rules instituted under the Obama administration, state lawmakers are on the verge of bringing them back to California.
The state Senate on Friday sent a broad proposal to Gov. Jerry Brown that would prevent broadband and wireless companies from favoring some websites over others by charging for faster speeds, and from blocking, throttling or otherwise hindering access to content.
On the state Senate floor on Friday, bill author Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) argued that without the regulations, internet providers could "inhibit us or manipulate us away from our favorite websites."
"Fundamentally, net neutrality is that we as individuals get to decide where to go on the internet as opposed to being told," he said.

It is not just Buzz Lightyear who wants to go to infinity and beyond. Like the Toy Story star, Singapore too has space ambitions.
Even though commercial travel through space may still be some light years away, the Singapore Space and Technology Association (SSTA) believes the Republic can reach for the stars in other ways.
The development of space technology - such as in satellites, satellite communications and image data analytics - is one area with potential, said Ms Lynette Tan, director of the SSTA, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary next week.
The country has already made strides in this area over the past decade, she noted.
For example, Nanyang Technological University last month launched its seventh satellite into orbit from the International Space Station.
There are now about 40 space-related companies, including local and locally based foreign ones, says SSTA president Jonathan Hung. This is about a 30 per cent growth over the past decade.
The Aoba Velox-III will conduct tests to assess the durability of commercial off-the-shelf microprocessors in space, including a micro-propulsion system, consumer-grade electronic components and a wireless communication system.
"When we first started SSTA in 2007 with the intention of developing Singapore's space industry, people thought we were crazy as they immediately think of large rockets and moon landings," said Ms Tan, who is one of the founding members of the association.
"But, now, people are more aware there is more to space than just rockets and astronauts, so they are genuinely curious.
"They want to know more about the industry, and how Singapore can progress."

SSTA is a non-profit association focused on developing Singapore's space technology industry. It also facilitates information and communication for the Government, the space industry and academia.
A lift from rocket science, and more
Many people are familiar with Lasik surgery, the procedure that helps people see better. But few would know the technology was first used to help a space shuttle do the same.
Laser-Assisted In Situ Kerato- mileusis (Lasik) technology involves the use of an eye-tracking device to ensure the cornea is re-shaped correctly.
This tracking system was based on technology developed to assist spacecraft in delicate docking manoeuvres.
Aerogel is a lightweight material used in making extreme- weather clothing and the insoles of footwear, to keep the wearer warm.
A robust, flexible form of the substance, which was first invented in 1931, was developed for the Space Shuttle to ensure the liquid oxygen and hydrogen fuel on board would not freeze.
The pacemaker is a device planted in the chest to help regulate the beating of the heart.
US-based Pacesetter Systems has developed such devices that incorporate multiple technologies in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa).
They include the first rechargeable, long-life pacemaker battery, which is based on technology for spacecraft electrical power systems.
By imbuing the pacemaker with bidirectional telemetry - developed by Nasa to facilitate two-way communication with satellites - it allowed doctors to communicate with an implanted pacemaker and reprogram it without surgery.
In outer space, sunlight is the main source of power.
Nasa-developed technologies are systems that are efficient and as lightweight as possible.
Technologies for space-based applications also help lower the cost of solar energy on Earth.

Next week, it is organising the ninth Global Space and Technology Convention, which aims to bring together the best minds in the international space industry .
The two-day conference, which starts on Thursday, will feature speakers such as Mr Barry Matsumori, senior vice-president of business development and advanced concepts at Virgin Galactic, the world's first commercial spaceline, and Professor Daniel Hastings, chief executive of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology.
Singapore will also be well represented, with the likes of ST Electronics, home-grown satellite technology developer Addvalue Technologies and local start-up Transcelestial Technologies .
While space technological developments in satellites and their applications may not be as "sexy" as the possibilities of space travel or life on Mars, Ms Tan said technology designed for outer space could eventually be used to improve life on Earth.
Devices used in space are engineered to withstand the tough conditions there, such as extreme temperatures and large doses of radiation.
If the devices can cope with those conditions, they would perform even better on Earth.
"So, for example, if we can get a rover to move 10m in space," said Ms Tan, "it might be able to go 100 miles" - or 160km - on Earth.
Some space technologies have been adapted for use on Earth.
First designed to provide power in outer space, solar panels are now a source of alternative energy to combat global warming, she noted.
In 2013, the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) established the Office for Space Technology and Industry to pursue "New Space" opportunities, said EDB assistant managing director Beh Kian Teik.
The "New Space" economy is one where small satellite applications and technologies are emerging rapidly, due to advancements in electronics and the continued reduction in launch costs, he added.
"With Singapore's strengths in adjacent industries such as aerospace engineering, electronics and precision engineering, Singapore is well poised to ride on the wave of these opportunities," said Mr Beh.
The global space industry stood at US$323 billion (S$459 billion) in 2015, according to the Space Foundation Report.
Mr Hung said: "The space industry is an emerging field.
"Singapore should future-proof itself so it can capture the market when it takes off."

Okay, maybe you like ruffles more than I do but lately I feel like I've been seeking clothes with adorable gathered fabric. I was walking through Target and came across this darling top from the WhoWhatWear collection and immediately fell in love. The beauty of this top is how lightweight it is – perfect for those hot summer days. I wore it this weekend to brunch at Sisters.

Health and Wellbeing hubs
People in the most deprived communities of Hastings and Bexhill are set to benefit from the establishment of new Health and Wellbeing Community Hubs thanks to funding from NHS Hastings and Rother Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
The development of the hubs is part of Healthy Hastings and Rother, a scheme that was set up to tackle health inequalities in the area. This is part of the wider East Sussex Better Together (ESBT) programme, which is transforming and integrating health and care to achieve the best possible services for local people.
Cllr Kim Forward, Deputy Leader of Hastings Borough Council and lead member for regeneration and culture said: "We are very pleased to support this scheme, which will benefit the most vulnerable and invest in the sustainability of our voluntary and community sector. This scheme will invest in the infrastructure and capacity of existing community organisations to deliver health and wellbeing services within the most deprived wards of Hastings and Bexhill."
Steve Manwaring, Director, Hastings Voluntary Action (HVA) said: "The hubs will help local people and communities to improve and manage their health and wellbeing by giving them access to information, sign-posting and support in one convenient place. They are the result of extensive partnership work between the CCG and the Healthy Hastings and Rother team, the local voluntary and community sector, Hastings Borough Council, Rother District Council and East Sussex County Council."
Awards have now been made to local voluntary and community sector organisations to establish hubs in:
North East Hastings (Educations Futures Trust led)
North West Hastings (Fellowship of St Nicholas led)
Central St Leonards (Fellowship of St Nicholas led)
Central Bexhill & Sidley (Sussex Community Development Association led)
Work on these individual projects began in late autumn 2017.
Dr. Susan Rae, GP at Silver Springs Surgery, St Leonards-On-Sea, and Hastings and Rother CCG's clinical lead for health inequalities, said: "Bringing health and wellbeing help directly into communities and providing care and support closer to home is going to be extremely positive for local people. I have no doubt that these hubs will play an invaluable role in reducing health inequalities in some of our most deprived areas and I am grateful to all the partners, both in the community and our local councils, that worked so hard to make this happen."

Style is the answer to everything.
A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it
To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art
Bullfighting can be an art
Boxing can be an art
Loving can be an art
Opening a can of sardines can be an art
Not many have style
Not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men,
although not many dogs have style.
Charles Bukowski
Every bike have a story…
Some stories shall be told, some rememberd and some… forgotten.
They bring a smile or a tear to a riders face.
There are no two identical bikes, and there will never be.

Buying short-term health insurance in Wisconsin
- Wisconsin statutes limit short-term health plan duration to no more than 12 months.
- Plans can be renewed but total duration can't exceed 18 consecutive months.
- These rules remain in place in Wisconsin despite the Trump Administration's new regulations on short-term plans.
- At least six insurers offer short-term plans in Wisconsin.
Short-term health plan duration is limited in Wisconsin
Until October 2, 2018, federal regulations limited short-term health insurance plans to no more than three months in duration, and prohibited renewals. But the Trump Administration is allowing for much longer short-term plans as of October 2018, unless a state imposes its own restrictions. Wisconsin rules align with the new federal rules when it comes to the maximum initial term for a short-term plan, but the state has different rules for renewals.
Wisconsin insurance statutes [Section 632.7495(4)] limit short-term health insurance plans to no more than 12 months.The plan can be renewed, if the insurer offers that option, but the total duration of the coverage can't be more than 18 consecutive months, including the initial term and subsequent renewals. After 18 months, the enrollee must have a break of at least 63 days before being allowed to sign up for another short-term plan from the same insurer.
The Trump Administration's new regulations allow short-term plans to have initial terms of up to 364 days, and total duration, including renewals, of 36 months. But the regulations are clear in noting that states can impose stricter rules, and existing state rules will continue to apply. So in Wisconsin, the initial term of a short-term plan can be just under a year. But the total duration of a short-term plan, including renewals, is capped at 18 months.
Other short-term health plan regulations in Wisconsin
Wisconsin health insurance regulations also require short-term plans to conform to certain state mandates. But state law requiring uniform applications for major medical policies does not apply to short-term plans, as the state's statute specifically excludes short-term plans from the definition of major medical coverage.
Which insurers offer short-term plans in Wisconsin?
Louise Norris is an individual health insurance broker who has been writing about health insurance and health reform since 2006. She has written dozens of opinions and educational pieces about the Affordable Care Act for healthinsurance.org. Her state health exchange updates are regularly cited by media who cover health reform and by other health insurance experts.

Very often we express our feelings by offering a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It is important, however, to know the language of the flowers, especially if they are roses. So we can amaze and rejoice your beloved person …
It does matter what the color of the rose is. Red rose is a symbol of love and passion, pink is a sign of gentle articulation, and white expresses the purity of soul and thoughts. The yellow rose is a sign of a new beginning.
An important role is played by the number of roses in the bouquet. One rose means "my heart is lonely", 3 roses – "I love you", 5 roses – wishes for happiness and success, 7 admiration, 9 roses usually give loving husbands, 11 are given at jubilee at first meeting or wedding. 13 roses are not given. 15 are given to a relative or friend with a wish for success, 19 are accepted to be given a wedding and mean "a lifetime together", 21 roses are given to the beloved, and 25 means "I love my wife". 31 roses mean a wish every day to be joyful.
A meaningful bouquet can be made by hand, following a few simple rules. Red roses are recognition in love. White has several meanings: respect and humility, purity and innocence. White and red roses together mean a desire to be together. Pink roses symbolize youth, modesty and nobility – an excellent way to emphasize the youth and charm of the girl. These roses are a perfect way for a man who is not ready to say "I love you", to make it clear that the woman attracts him.
Yellow roses usually mean jealousy and extinction of love, but lately they have become very popular and symbolize the desire to start everything from scratch. These roses can be given to a woman you want to reconcile with. Red and yellow roses together mean love and hope for old disagreements to be forgotten. Orange roses express the desire for newly born relationships to develop in the future.

Made my 1st Winter purchase for the 2013 season and I now own a nice pair of Korkers Chrome Wading Boots with OmniTrax.
I must admit I have always wanted a pair of these when they were introduced. I like multifunction and thought what better than interchangeable soles. Then the Chrome model came out and I think they are snazzy looking wading boots.
I own a pair of size 7 SIMMS Felt Wading boots and they have served me very well. On those though the size 7 just felt a little too small after I used them all last year. My big stubby toe felt like it was digging into the front of the boot as I waded and I figured maybe a 7 is a tad too small.
Problem is, an 8 is a tad too big. But, wanting to go bigger, my little tootsies now have a size 8 Korkers to spread out in.
I have only tried them on so far as season does not open until end of April here but around the house they feel pretty nice. I may try them again with a thicker wool sock in hopes that slight wiggle room, a little more than I think I want, needs to be filled up.
The BOA lacing system is real nice. Quick in, quick out, and super cool. These boots in my opinion just look slick. They came with the standard sticky sole which should be nice for basic hiking to waters and back. They also came with the sticky sole with spikes as the 2nd set of soles. I also purchased the optional spiked sole option that has some real large spikes for aggressive needs. I understand the big spiked model can have interchangeable spikes if you should ever need to do that.
I did not bother buying any felt soles as I think I will switch to rubber or fall back to my SIMMS if needed. The boots also came with a small BOA tool that I guess allows you to work on replacing the BOA laces when they break down the road.
So far in house use has been nice. They feel comforable, a bit squeaky, but in time they will loosen up after getting some use.
Here are some pictures I took of the whole set, the extra sole bottoms so you can see the difference between the stock small spikes and the larger spiked soles, plus a little late 60s video that you old folk should enjoy.
BTW, kitties like new Korkers Chrome Wading Boots also.
Always liked this song. Next time I fish I am sure I will have this tune in my head.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office is warning residents of a phone scam that continues to circulate.
The scammers call people in the community, posing as sheriff's deputies. Some even "spoof" the VBSO phone number (757-385-4555).
People who answer are told they have outstanding warrants and need to turn themselves in.
In the past, they've also attempted to extort money from people as 'fines' for missed jury duty.
The VBSO says they do not contact people about outstanding warrants — that is handled by the Virginia Beach Police Department. They also say they will never ask for money over the phone.
If you receive one of these phone calls, DO NOT give your personal information or money over the phone. If you believe you have been a victim of this scam, you should file a police report by calling 757-385-8101.

The protein — ASCL1 — is associated with increased expression of the RET oncogene, a particular cancer-causing gene called RET. The findings appear in the online issue of the journal Oncogene.
Journalists:: For multimedia resources and membership, visit the Mayo Clinic News Network.
"This is exciting because we've found what we believe to be a 'drugable target' here," says George Vasmatzis, Ph.D., a Mayo Clinic molecular medicine researcher and senior author on the study. "It's a clear biomarker for aggressive adenocarcinomas. These are the fast-growing cancer cells found in smokers' lungs."
ASCL1 is known to control neuroendocrine cell development and was previously linked to regulation of thyroid and small cell lung cancer development, but not smoking-related lung cancer. The research also showed that patients with ASCL1 tumors with high levels of the RET oncogene protein did not survive as long as ASCL1 patients with low levels of RET.
When researchers blocked the ASCL1 protein in lung cancer cell lines expressing both genes, the level of RET decreased and tumor growth slowed. This leads researchers to believe this mechanism will be a promising target for potential drugs and a strong candidate for clinical trials.
The co-authors of the study include Farhad Kosari, Ph.D.; Cristiane Ida, M.D.; Marie Christine Aubry, M.D.; Lin Yang, Ph.D.; Irina Kovtun, Ph.D.; Janet Schaefer Klein; Yan Li, M.D.; Sibel Erdogan; Sandra Tomaszek, M.D.; Stephen Murphy, Ph.D.; Lynn Bolette; Christopher Kolbert; Ping Yang, M.D., Ph.D.; and Dennis Wigle, M.D., Ph.D., all of Mayo Clinic.
The research was supported by a Waterman Biomarker Discovery grant and by the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine.

When it comes to making more money and bumping up your bank balance, it isn't always the case that you will have to work harder to make a difference. In the United States alone, there is more than $32 billion of money going unclaimed by millions of people. If you can identify any of these 'forgotten funds' that you might be due, you could make your life a whole lot easier without really having to do very much at all.
Below are some of the most common sources of forgotten funds:
Old Bank Accounts
Dormant bank accounts are a huge source of forgotten funds. It might sound surprising, but many of us open up savings accounts and then forget about them in the preceding years. By checking through your paperwork to see if you may have left a bank account dormant, you could end up with a nice little windfall.
The IRS
We tend to think of the Internal Revenue Service as an organization that only ever takes money from us, but it is a prominent source of unclaimed money in the form of tax refunds. Many of us pay more tax than we need to at least some of the time, and mostly we'll get that tax back in a timely manner. Sometimes. That doesn't happen, and our refund never shows up, which is why it's always worth checking the "Where's My Refund?" section if the IRS website to see if you could be owed any money.
There are various benefits that are available to various individuals across the country for a variety of reasons. From benefits for total disability due to individual unemployment for veterans to disability benefits for disabled children, there is a whole lot of help out there that you may be entitled to. If you have even an inkling that you could be entitled to anything, check it out now.
Insurance Policies
If you bought a life insurance policy long ago, but you've since stopped making the payments, don't throw it out and forget about it because many life insurance policies have a monetary value that you could benefit from right now, even if the policy is lapsed. Give the insurance company a call and see if you can make a claim before you toss it.
If you've had various pension plans with various companies over the years, there is a very good chance that you could also sell those if you can find them, which could be difficult depending on how organized you are, but which is certainly worth attempting, nonetheless.
Savings Bonds
Have you ever been given savings bonds as a gift, or bought them in the dim and distant past? If so, you might want to check out the Treasury Department's Bureau of Public Debt which is currently playing host to billions of dollars worth of forgotten bonds just waiting to be reclaimed.
There's nothing better than 'free' money, and since there's billions of dollars going unclaimed, chances are you could lay your hands on some, it's just a matter of taking action!

Makes 12
1. In a medium bowl, combine ¾ cup (180 grams) warm milk and yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together sugar, melted butter, sour cream, egg, almond extract, and remaining ¼ cup (60 grams) warm milk.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3⅔ cups (458 grams) flour and salt. Stir half of flour mixture into sugar mixture. With mixer on low speed, add yeast mixture, beating just until combined. Beat in remaining flour mixture. Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at medium speed until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Add remaining ⅓ cup (42 grams) flour, if needed. (Dough should not be sticky.) Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Loosely cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. Lightly punch down dough. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 21x13-inch rectangle. Spread Apricot-Almond Filling onto dough. Fold dough in thirds, like a letter, creating a 13x7-inch rectangle. Roll dough into a 13x8-inch rectangle. Cut ½ inch off each short end of rectangle. Cut dough into 12 (1-inch) strips. Twist each strip, and tie in a knot, tucking ends under. Place on prepared pans. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed, about 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
7. Bake buns, one batch at a time, until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes, covering with foil halfway through baking to prevent excess browning. Brush buns with Brown Sugar Glaze. Let cool on pans for 10 minutes. Serve warm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Apricot-Almond Filling:
Makes about 1½ cups
1. In a small saucepan, bring apricots and water to cover by 1 inch to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cook until apricots are softened, about 20 minutes. Drain apricots, reserving 2 tablespoons (30 grams) cooking liquid.
2. In the work bowl of a food processor, place warm apricots, reserved 2 tablespoons (30 grams) cooking liquid, sugar, butter, and cinnamon; pulse until mixture has the texture of jam. Stir in almonds; let cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Brown Sugar Glaze:
Makes about ½ cup
In a small saucepan, bring brown sugar, ¼ cup (60 grams) water, and vanilla bean and reserved seeds to a boil over medium heat. Remove vanilla bean, and let cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
