- In the world
- Australia
ACCIONA's activity in Australia started in 2002 through the Energy division. Since 2007, the Infrastructures and Water divisions were added to the Energy division.
ACCIONA is one of the founding and sponsoring members of theEuropean Australian Business Council and also forms part of the Spanish-Australian Industry and Commerce Chamber.
ACCIONA is the main Design and Construct JV partner of the ALTRAC consortium, awarded with the contract to design and construct the $2.1 billion Sydney CBD South East Light Rail.
Removal of three level crossings and construction of two new railway stations (Cheltenham and Mentone). The project will include more than 3 km of walking and cycle paths that connect the stations, better lighting and accessibility between them, new parking spaces and a potential residential and commercial development.
ACCIONA has a Design and Construct JV partner of the Nexus Infrastructure consortium, awarded with the contract to design and construct the $1.6 billion Toowoomba Second Range Crossing (TSRC).
ACCIONA has designed, built and will operate the Legacy Way Highway for 10 years. The project entailed the construction of a 4.6 km-long double tunnel in a world record time by tunneling an average of 49.7 meters per day, surpassing the previously record set of 13.7 meters/day. The project was completed in 2015.
Waubra Wind Farm is located approximately 35 kilometres north-west of Ballarat in Victoria. At peak, the wind farm can generate enough green energy to power more than 120,000 homes or enough electricity for the City of Ballarat and surrounding areas.
ACCIONA finished building the 46.5 MW Gunning wind farm in 2011. Fully owned by ACCIONA, it comprises 31 ACCIONA Windpower wind turbine generators and is located in New South Wales. It was inaugurated on 20 July 2012 in the presence of then Prime Minister Julia Gillard. The facility produces the equivalent of electricity consumed by 23,250 Australian homes a year and reduces associated CO2 emissions by 162,750 tonnes.
Connected to the grid in 2007, this was ACCIONA's first wind farm in Australia. Developed in a joint venture with Energy Australia, it comprises 32 turbines totaling 64 MW of capacity. Located on Eyre Peninsula, in South Australia, it produces the equivalent of the electricity consumed annually by around 35,000 households, avoiding the emission of some 150,000 metric tons of CO2.
In February 2011, the ACCIONA-led Helena Water consortium was selected to design, build, finance and operate the Mundaring Water Treatment Plant near Perth in Western Australia, under a 35-year contract. The project will have a capacity of 190 million liters per day ("MLD") and represents an investment of AUD$300 million. It supplies water to more than 100,000 people in the state of Western Australia. The project began operations in mid-2013. It has received several awards.
In 2012, ACCIONA finished the construction of the Adelaide Desalination Plant, thereby starting a 20-year contract for the operation and maintenance of this infrastructure. The plant's daily capacity is 300,000 m3 and is one of the largest desalination plants in operation. It guarantees 50% of the water needs in the city of Adelaide. It has received several awards.
In service since June 2018, Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm will generate enough energy to power more than 60,000 households, while avoiding the emission of around 200,000 metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere from coal-fired power stations every year. It is located 65km west of Geelong, in Victoria.
With the start-up planned by 2020, ACCIONA is currently building the Mortlake South park in Victoria, a 175.5 MW facility equipped with 35 Nordex turbines of 4.5 MW unit power.
One of the largest photovoltaic plants built in Australia. It is being developed by ACCIONA in collaboration with GRS (Gransolar) and ACCIONA Geotech, in the state of Queensland, Australia. This location has one of the highest levels of solar radiation in Australia. On the other hand, the plant is located in an ideal area for exporting electricity from the solar farm to the national grid.
ACCIONA is building the first waste-to-energy plant in Western Australia, 40 km south of Perth. Kwinana, with a total surface area of 3.5 hectares, will process up to 400,000 tons of waste per year and will have a production capacity of 36 MW, equivalent to the consumption of 50,000 homes.

The rich history of soccer in my home country of Costa Rica dates back almost a full century. Liga FPD was founded in June 1921. A lot has happened since then. While I can't show you absolutely everything I would, at the very least, like to introduce you to some of the clubs…
Club Sport Herediano
Herediano, like Alajuelense, was formed as the result of two-plus teams sharing a city. In this case three teams merged in Heredia City to form Herediano. The three former teams are Club Renacimiento, Club Obrero Crístobal Colón, and Club Sport Juan J. Flores. In 1921 the three came to be one, known as Club Sport Herediano.
Los Florenses, the flower people (the Province of Heredia is nicknamed as the flower province)
Rojiamarillos (the Red and Yellow people, their official colors)
El Team
*Herediano is one of only two teams in Costa Rican history to avoid relegation since its inception.
As I stated in the Alajuelense article all the teams in the division used to play in the old National Stadium in La Sabana, San Jose until the 1950s. In 1945 the team started building their current stadium, Eladio "Rosabal" Cordero Stadium, in Heredia City and opened its doors in 1951.
Clasico Provincial
Per my Alajuelense article, the teams share a rivalry based on the vicinity of the two cities within Costa Rica. Alajuelense and Herediano rank second and third, respectively, in division titles won. They are the only two teams that have never been relegated in league history.
*Herediano also has a rivalry with Cartago, but the significance of the matches has been diminished due to Cartago's inability to win a championship since the mid-20th century.
Clásico del Buen Futbol
Herediano and Saprissa have an even more intense rivalry than Herediano and Alajuelense do. Saprissa is the winningest team in Costa Rican history, surpassing both Herediano and Alajuelense when it comes to domestic titles.
Former: Belen
Before Belen moved to Guadalupe and rebranded themselves as Guadalupe FC they shared a stadium with Herediano.
- 26-time Costa Rican Champions
Notable Players
- Paulo Cesar Wanchope
- Jose Miguel Corbero
- Marvin Obando
- Germán Jara
- Mauricio Wright
- Dave Myrie
- Claudio Jara
- Óscar Grandados
- Elias Palma
- Victor "El Mambo" Nuñes
- Daniel Cambronero
- Randall Azofeifa


text: One of the things I love about my boys other than their general zaniness is they are totally willing to help me get the photos I need. We were on vacation and they were wearing the crazy tuques they got for Christmas, in the bathroom, dancing- naturally. I took a photo with my camera but it came out blurry as they were-dancing. So here is the shot I got when they froze in the middle of their break out so I could get the shot. Crazy boys. The other thing that makes me very happy about this page is I used a paper from a QVC kit about a million years old & the vellum quote is super old too! Yay stash down a few pieces today!

Almost all Sendle parcels are picked up the day they are requested. But sometimes things can happen and there can be small delays with parcel pickup. Don't worry – with Sendle's Pickup Guarantee we'll sort it out.
In this article we've covered why delays can occur, and what to do if that happens to you.
Why are there delays?
Common reasons drivers are delayed include:
- Traffic is unusually heavy – often due to poor weather, accidents, or events.
- The driver has unexpectedly received more bookings than normal. This can mean that: there is no room in the van for more parcels, parcels need to be delivered first, or they must make it back to the depot for the lunchtime deadline and can't complete the suburb collections that day.
- The driver's handheld scanner is broken, or there is a technology breakdown on the delivery partner's end.
- The driver couldn't find your address (it's helpful if you check that your address can be found on Google Maps. If it can't be found or shows the wrong location, chances are the driver will have trouble finding it, too).
- You are located in a more remote (or limited service) area and the driver doesn't collect parcels every day. If that's the case, we recommend speaking to the driver to find out their schedule.
We're onto it.
In a nutshell, if our driver hasn't picked the parcel up on the scheduled date, we'll send a dedicated pickup driver the next business day at our cost.* There are some conditions to this guarantee, so please have a look at our Pickup Guarantee T&Cs.
If a pickup does not happen on the day it has been requested, a couple of things happen:
- At 4pm, the Sendle system re-books the pickup with the driver for the next business day. The driver assigned to your location will be notified that your parcel still needs collecting. As per our Pickup Guarantee, for eligible locations we will also book the parcel with a dedicated pickup driver at our own cost.
- You will get a notification on your dashboard to confirm this rebooking.
If the pickup is delayed for another day, the Sendle team will:
- Escalate this with our delivery partners, and will continue to try to get this parcel picked up for you.
- We will get in touch with you if there is any challenge in finding the address or collecting the parcel
More information?
Our support team actively monitor tracking to ensure pickups are collected quickly – so there's no need to open a support enquiry.
However, if you have a question or ongoing issue and want to speak to our friendly team, we're available. Just get in touch with Sendle Support and quote your order reference number.

Spring is right around the corner! It's hard to think that we'll be enjoying shorts and walking outside soon, without shivering so hard that we spill our coffee or being that kid who slipped on ice in front of everyone at the bus stop.
It's safe to say that spring brings a lot of positive vibes. This is the time when you should go through your apartment (or dorm) and get rid of the things that you do not use or that you simply don't want anymore. Getting old things out makes room for not only new things but the fresh start you promised yourself as you brought in the new year. So, yes, this means letting those floral pants from high school go, because let's face it — they are no longer in style. Now comes the question: What should I do with the things I no longer want or need? The answer is simple: donate them!
There are many charities around Lansing that take clothing and food donations, including St. Vincent de Paul Society, Haven House and Volunteers of America. Each accepts donations year-round for families or individuals in need. Rather than waste good clothes or food, you should partake in lending a helping hand and possibly changing someone's life — you could make a stark difference. Being in college and struggling to make ends meet can make it seem impossible to make a difference within your community, but it is not all about how much money you can give.
Haven House not only takes donations, but they also welcome volunteers to come in and play with kids or even cook for families who are staying there. Opportunities like these are what can shape a person, and these types of activities help not just the adults, but children who may just need a friend that day to make them smile. So, this spring, join ing in our attempt to do a little spring cleaning — and lend a helping hand in the process.

I might even have photos of most of them, but I'll stick with the basics for now.1922 -- the exciting saga which caught the national eye and led to the Scripps - Howard tourney [space reserved](I actually posted a lot here, The Marble Wars of 1922 but I found some more since, and haven't quite sorted it all out. Sorry, it's a long download. I should edit my posts to replace the big pix with thumbnails.)Before 1922 -- [space reserved]After 1922During my reading about tournaments, I was greatly impressed by the coverage -- and mentorship -- in Beckley WV. They make a great study in community involvement and support of youth.I also noticed that records were frequently forgotten. People in the 50's were credited with "firsts" which occurred in the 20's or 30's (first girl competing with boys at nationals, first negro champion). Smaller firsts and other records took less time to forget.Weird "facts" crop up too. On Dec. 17, 1966, in the Hartford Courant, it was claimed that Louisville used to be the site of the national marbles champ but no more, they said. Now it is in New York. (they said)Related web pages -- The National Tournament site: http://www.nationalmarblestournament.org/ Kings (and Queens) of the Ring: Page 1, Page 2Mibs & Mibsters, by Paul Kerr, an article from the Beloit Historical SocietyTop marbles tourney rolls out the masters -- The 16th annual U.S. Marbles Championship was held in 2008.

You might be an experienced makeup artist with enviable skills, but do you have the portfolio images that back up that claim?
No matter what type of makeup career you choose (Fashion, Editorial, Commercial, Bridal), I believe agency quality portfolio images are your best marketing tool and close the deal on better bookings.
In this workshop, we'll reveal the makeup techniques that create consistent portfolio quality images and the specific skills top photographers and art directors look for.
We'll demystify the terminology used in a photo shoot, and demonstrate how to work efficiently on set.
You will leave with agency quality portfolio images that will get you booked.
Day 1 – Makeup Training
- AM Session – Lecture and demonstration of makeup themes for photo-shoot.
- PM Session – Guided hands-on student practice session.
Day 2 – Portfolio Photo-Shoot (with agency models).
- AM Session (Part 1) – Timed demonstration of actual working photo-shoot.
- AM Session (Part 2) – Student photo-shoot – "Clean Beauty".
- PM Session (Part 1) – Student Photo-shoot continues – "Natural Beauty".
- PM Session (Part 2) – Student Photo-shoot continues – "Student's Choice".
- Kit Focus: What's in The Basic Shoot Kit?
- Multi-task products to maximize your workflow and edit your kit size.
- The Right Set-Up: Organizing your work area for optimum efficiency.
- The difference between Clean, Natural, Monochromatic and Editorial makeup styles (commercial and advertising).

Analysis of 855 Upper Extremity Fistulas Created Using a Standard Protocol: The Role of Graft Extension to Achieve Functional Status
The Fistula First Breakthrough Initiative (FFBI) has been one of the most important national programs to help achieve considerable improvements in the care of patients on chronic hemodialysis. FFBI has helped place guidelines to push practitioners to reduce the use of tunneled central venous catheters and to increase the rate of arteriovenous fistula use in patients requiring chronic hemodialysis access. However, despite current guidelines, no specific protocols exist for the creation and management of autogenous arteriovenous fistulas and outcomes at most centers are below national benchmarks. In this study, we examine the effectiveness of a standard protocol used at our institution for the creation of autogenous upper extremity fistulas for hemodialysis access in achieving early cannulation and early removal of tunneled dialysis catheters. Our review encompasses 855 consecutive autogenous fistulas created over a 10-year period. Our findings suggest that the use of a standard protocol for creation and management of autogenous fistulas can help increase the rate of functional accesses over national benchmarks. Additionally, extension/conversion of malfunctioning fistulas to grafts appears to be an excellent method to expedite removal of a tunneled dialysis catheter with concomitant preservation of a fistula.

Aging farmers worry about what will happen to their family farms once they're gone. Some of those farmers are specifically worried about what the future holds for their farm if they are to need long term care.
Many farmers wish to pay their own way. They do not want to put a heavy financial burden on their family nor do they want to sell land to pay for long term care. However, many know from providing care to their elderly loved ones that this is a potential reality.
An article by Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR), illustrates the fear some farmers have about losing their farm in order to pay for nursing home expenses. Here are ways farmers are planning for a long term care event presented in this article:
- About 200 retirement transition plans have been developed for farmers by the Wisconsin Farm Center over the past few years due to the rising concern of how to pay for long term care.
- Some farmers are spending down assets in order to qualify for Medicaid. Medicaid is not always a "cure-all" solution, and in order to even qualify for Medicaid, one has to spend down their assets to $2,000.
- The other option farmers are turning to is investing in life insurance or long term care insurance.
Without coverage or a plan, the monthly expenses for a nursing home are equivalent to one or more acres of farm land. Here is a helpful tool to calculate long term care costs per acre: Cost per Acre Calculator.
Long term care insurance policies can help cover expensive costs of long term care no matter what form it comes in: Nursing homes, assisted living facilities or home healthcare. For farmers, investing in long term care could mean keeping their family farms for generations to come.

My husband and I have gone off the beaten track (sometimes WAY off) in our Japanese pop culture travels, so our friends have sometimes accused us of going out of our way to get bizarre stuff. However, all of these following items my husband bought at Narita Airport. Meaning that the Japanese want visitors to buy these as souvenirs, and you can't blame my husband for picking them up when the airport authorities made it so convenient.
So first of all we have that favorite Japanese dish—curry! Inside this box is a single serve pouch of curry; just heat and serve. However, thing that makes it interesting—and therefore worthy of occupying space in an airport souvenir shop—is the meat they used. That's not an ordinary pig on the box—it's a wild boar!
Yes, folks, it's wild boar curry. You, too, can pick up a box at Narita Airport and enjoy this novelty for a mere ¥600!
Also, at that same store for the same low price is another curry. It's a little more difficult to tell from the package illustration, but this is "Bakayarou Curry." Or to translate: "Idiot Curry."
Now this is a pun that requires explanation, so much so that I'm surprised they put it in the airport with the intention for foreigners to buy. As mentioned above, "bakayarou" translates into "idiot" or "fool." The jinchuuriki Killer B from Naruto often uses that term in his raps. However, the word bakayarou is written by putting together the kanji characters for "horse"and "deer." (Don't ask me why, that's just how it is.) And the meat used in this particular curry pouch is—you guessed it— a blend of horse and deer meat.
And you can bring it home from Narita Airport for just ¥600!
Moving on from curry, we have a snack that looks like it was inspired by the west but took on a life of its own in Japan: Tohato Bacon Sticks!
This he picked up at the airport convenience store. I kind of thought it would be a shorter version of a slim jim, but this snack actually has a texture closer to a Pocky or potato chip. It's definitely not a 100% meat product, but it still emits that enticing smoky aroma that is distinctly bacon.
We put it out during our last Bible study gathering, and it was a massive hit. There's just something irresistible about bacon, and Tohato has harnessed its qualities into an unexpected crowd-pleaser.
And finally, my husband brought home this:
In case you're not familiar with it, "The Wave" is an iconic piece of Japanese art, and the creators inserted Godzilla, another Japanese icon, into the scene. Even though it's been about a half century since Godzilla first stormed onto the scene, he remains popular around the world. He's certainly popular with my husband, and we had a little fun superimposing Godzilla onto our kitchen noren.

The challenge this week is
and it was a no brainer for me as to what I should portray. Me, getting angry over nothing; me reading Perez Hilton instead of the Bible; me, stuffing my face with chocolate. There could have been a lot more photos really...
the photos have been photoshopped to give a "palette knife " effect. Just on a whim really! I stuffed 3 Quality Street in my mouth at the same time and it was rather sickly and horrible. The things I do for art...
Down to the details:
Black Bazzill cardstock
Turquoise Papermania scalloped cardstock
Patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket Get Happy pad (its new! its lush! expect to see a lot more of it!)
the words "anger" etc put through a Round the Block dymo maker
Papermania ribbon and spotty brads.
the other brads are Making Memories metallic red but look black
Ribbon brad - no idea where from as I have had these for ages and never used them.
Papermania letter stickers
Journalling done using Times and Times again font.
I wanted to write something personal but not take up anymore space on the layout so wrote inside the boxes. The close up is rather blurry but here you are.
The writing in red reads: "Oh how much do I agree with these words of Paul. its the gift of the Spirit I really struggle with. Lord help me!"
Now here is some important news. We are looking for more people to join the Salt design team. If you are interested please read the details on the Salt blog.

We often get asked why do I need to upgrade my website. Some people we ask often reply that they feel it is more a money making process of which most small business owners cannot afford. With that in mind we thought it was important to explain why we need to keep our websites up-to-date and whether or not it applies to you.
If you have a content Management System (CMS) or any dynamic data then you need to keep your website patched. By dynamic I mean data that changes on the fly, for example if you have any kind of functional website that requires a database such as a CMS like Joomla or Wordpress, chances are your website is dynamic and requires the use of programming languages such as ASP, PHP and SQL, all of which are prone to attack.
What is a CMS
Content Management Systems relate to websites that use CMS such as Joomla, Wordpress or Drupal. There are many others out there but for the purpose of this article we will just use those three as an example.
Your web developer would have used a CMS for your website if you had mentioned that you want to be able to update and handle content yourself. This is not only useful but can save you a lot of money because you will not need to keep asking your web developer to make simple changes to your content, rather, you will have the ability to do it yourself. With this option however come a trade-off and that trade-off is security and maintenance.
To be able to offer Content Management the website generally needs database connectivity so you can interact with the website in such a way that you no longer have to update every single page to make one minor adjustment. Instead all the data is stored in a database and accessed by the administration area provided to you to update your content.
As security flaws are found by developers and the community, security patches are released. Generally you will receive notification that a new Security Patch has been released and advised to update your CMS.
Generally our websites are built with Joomla and some Wordpress. Joomla now offers 1 click updates which make it easier for you to manage the updates yourself, where previously it would have been recommended to have your developer apply the updates for you given it wasn't as simple as clicking a button.
SO back to the question, Why should I apply these updates.
First because it will minimise your risk of attack given the latest vulnerabilities are found and patched. Most web hosts will have backups of your data however this doesn't guarantee your backup files are not infected given the vulnerabilities will still be there even if you restore your website from a backup.
This brings to question then how do I protect myself from these attacks? The short answer is there is no guarantee your website will not be attacked however applying security updates much like you do for a Windows or Mac computer will minimise the risk.
For website running e-commerce, booking systems or storing any kind of client data, security patching is a must.
Other Factors to Consider, Blacklisting and Google Search
Once a website is compromised it will generally end up on some kind of blacklist which is out of the control of the web developer, the hosting provider and you. This can cause great loss to you if you rely on Google search results or you rely on your website for business in any manner. As soon as a visitor tries to access your website they will be given a message that the website is not safe.
Blacklist removal can be a painful process.
Here are just some lists you can find your website on if you have had an attack
- Google Safe Browsing
- Norton Safe Web
- Phish Tank
- Sucuri Malware Labs
- Yandex
To get your website removed from these lists can be time consuming and costly so it is better to try and avoid the issue altogether.
If you however do not have a CMS and have a standard HTML website that your web developer updates manually, chances are you may not have as high a risk but you still are at risk.
In short all we can do is keep our websites up-to-date and stay informed. The question you need to ask yourself is: How important is my website to my business and if it is down for any period what are the likely outcomes
FREE Tools
You can scan your website for free here, to view any blacklisting you may be on. It is also a good tool for scanning your website regularly so keep it in your book marks.
Other Considerations
Your Hosting provider generally will try and keep their servers up-to-date with the latest technology for both security and usability; this means that programming languages (that most website use) will require updates. As an example our host recently updated our PHP library from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.4.
For website that were out of date this caused significant problems to the websites due to compatibility issues however our clients that had their websites updated constantly did not have to deal with this issue. It can become costly if we let our website environment become too out-dated.
For hosting providers to provide all their customers the best security they will generally suspend your website if it becomes infected or compromised in any way. This is because they need to protect all their other clients and reduce the risk of the IP address of the host from becoming blacklisted which in turn will affect everyone on that hosted IP.
As you can see from all of the above there are many issues that we need to consider as web developers and website owners when thinking about security. Mostly it is out of the web developers hands however if you maintain a good relationship with your web developer rather than a set and forget relationship you will be informed of security issues that need to be addressed.
What is the responsibility of the web developer and what is the responsibility of the host.
Web developers will generally build you a website and hand over the finished product for you to host where you wish and maintain as you wish, your web developer is not responsible for security related issues or backups unless you have made an agreement with them to do so.
Your web developer should advise you if your website will require maintenance and allow you to make a decision on how you wish to implement updates, if at all.
You should check with your hosting provider if they provide backups regularly, if not you will need to backup your website manually via your control panel if you have access to it. Your host should provide you with basic tools such as virus scanners and good support.
All our hosted sites are backed up weekly however we cannot guarantee that the latest version will be available. To be safe you can view our How To Guide How to Back up my Website OR make alternative arrangements if you wish us to back up your website offline as an extra precaution.
The web host is not responsible for individual website updates however when an update for a particular CMS becomes available they will notify their clients in most cases. Your web host is responsible for the hosting environment only, meaning they will apply security updates for their web servers not websites, keep up-to-date with the latest technology for example, PHP, MYSQL and maintain backups to a degree. Some hosts may differ in their approach so it is important to know what they include for you as a client.
Your web developer may or may not notify you of updates to your CMS however Joogle Web does offer this as a Free service. Remember though unless you have made arrangements with your host or developer it is your responsibility to ensure the safety and security of your website
We hope you have found this article useful.

Sometimes a game will come along and it is difficult to nail down exactly what genre it fits into. Despite this you'll immediately know what to expect. That is the case with FutureGrind.
If you have ever played the excellent "Trials" games, you aren't too far off. Its similarities can only be a good thing, as both games are easy to pick up and play, but hard to master. You could say it's a sports, platformer and puzzle game all at once. As I went hands-on with FutureGrind expectations were running high, but I was also left hoping things weren't about to go off the rails…
Things are fairly straightforward in the colourful, futuristic, yet almost retro world of FutureGrind. You are a talented bike rider who has attracted the attention of some sponsors, who want to put your talent, and their tracks, to the test. Of course, it's not your average push-bike that we're talking about here, it's something a little more extreme. You'll also quickly start to realise, there's someone else who's taken an interest in you too…
Your skills consist of jumping, grinding and flipping across rails suspended high up off the ground. The secret to success is matching colours, namely ensuring your wheels and rails match, otherwise you'll meet an untimely end. The only exception here are in terms of the white rails, which are safe but end any points combo you've been building. You'll visit different locations which are home to unique tracks, and each track has three sets of challenges to be completed. These may include tasks such as avoiding white rails altogether, racking up a certain amount of combos, and other similar challenges. One of these will always be a score attack for each track, where you will receive a bronze, silver, gold or platinum cup for your efforts, depending on how well you do. If you achieve a platinum score on another challenge for the same track, it won't count, so bring your A-game to the score attack missions. Variety will net you the most points in FutureGrind, this means you'll need to perform various types of grinding, as well as flipping and moving between rails without jumping. Only then will you be able to earn those elusive platinum rewards.
As I touched on earlier, you have a few tricks up your sleeve which you can use to really rack up points. Firstly, you can jump by pressing A and then a second time if you hit it again. If you hold A down for longer you jump further and mastering this will be crucial for the more advanced tracks later on. You can also spin either way by using the left joystick, either whilst airborne or grinding. Finally, if you need to start over, hit X and you'll transport back to the beginning of the track.
As you progress you will unlock new bikes which will be accompanied by more challenging tracks to conquer, as the gameplay becomes more complex. For example, your second bike still has two wheels, but they are different colours.
You'll be spinning like a madman to make sure they match the rails as you grind your way through the track. You can view, and practise with, your bikes at anytime in the "Hangar" which you can access via main menu.
You can also find the "Grindpedia" here, which explains how to perform each move and displays a little clip of each in action. It's handy to refer back to from time to time, however the game eases you in gently at the start to help you learn the ropes.
Despite FutureGrind's apparent simplicity, things get much more difficult as you unlock new bikes and tracks. This is where a deceptively simple game starts to unveil its complexity and clever gameplay design. You'll crash, a lot, and depending on your level of patience will get frustrated at times. This is because the game is challenging, but is still lots of fun to play. As a result, you'll keep coming back for one more go, determined to succeed. There are plenty of tracks to play too, around 50 in total including those high scores to chase.
The game is fairly simple looking, but that's not a bad thing here. It works, even if it is no frills, and uses bright colours well to animate the environments. There's a "colour-blind mode" option in the settings which allows those players who may struggle to distinguish between certain colours to choose which to use, improving accessibility. The graphical style reminds me of a VR experience, perhaps taking place in a data-stream, as there are lots of pointed shapes and not many curved edges to smooth things out here. The soundtrack is a brilliant accompaniment to the action, it's funky and fun to listen to.
FutureGrind is an addictive and well designed game which will sink its claws into you and refuse to let go. What is especially impressive, is that it's been developed by Milkbag Games, which is made up of just two talented individuals, Matt Rix and Owen Goss. Priced at £15.29 on the Nintendo Switch, it might be slightly too pricey for some. however, if you can handle the challenge, and don't mind dying a lot, there is much to enjoy here.
Rating: 4/5

In today's technological world, we are constantly exposed to harmful blue light from our smart phones, computer screens, HD TVs, and sunlight. Doctors Exclusive MultiVitamin Formula and Eye Formula contain levels of the ingredients lutein and zeaxanthin clinically proven to build macular pigment density to protect against blue light damage.
The Age Related Eye Disease Study 2 sponsored by The National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health, helped established the standard of care in the eye care industry by defining a specific formulation of ingredients for increasing macular pigment density and treating early and intermediate AMD. The Doctors Exclusive line contains the exact formulation used in the AREDS2 study as well as other ingredients that recent research studies have shown are effective.
There are many reasons people develop dry, irritated eyes: decreased tear production accompanying aging, medications, prolonged screen viewing (phones, computers, tablets, etc.), windy and/or air-conditioned environments, and more. Omega-3s have been used for decades to address the ongoing problem of dry, irritated eyes. Doctors Exclusive Omega-3 Formula provides 140% of the recommended dose of the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA/DHA, which are clinically proven to give relief to dry eye sufferers.
IngredientsThe philosophy of Doctors Exclusive is to keep our formulas as close to nature and as absorbable and bioavailable as possible for maximum patient benefit.
Ingredients Backed by ScienceDoctors Exclusive uses ingredients proven to be clinically effective by the latest research studies. Each formula is evidence-based, making Doctors Exclusive the best choice for your patients' vision.
Chemical Form of IngredientsDifferent chemical forms of an ingredient will be absorbed differently by the body. One example is lutein. Lutein is available in esterified (synthetic) form and non-esterified (natural) form. Esterified lutein is poorly absorbed and therefore of little or no therapeutic benefit to patients. Non-esterified lutein, the form found in Mother Nature, has a much higher absorption rate and is therefore more bioavailable. The non-esterified, natural form is the type used in AREDS2. Doctors Exclusive uses only the non-esterified form of lutein and other ingredients proven effective in AREDS2, thus providing the highest level of patient care.
Delivery SystemDoctors Exclusive uses easily digestible vegetable-based capsules and soft gels to deliver our highly bioavailable ingredients in the most effective way for optimal patient care, unlike some companies that use compressed tablets.
Other IngredientsMany products on the market today contain potentially harmful "other ingredients." If you see titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, dyes of any kind, or allergens on a label, the product may cause unwanted side effects. The only "other ingredient" in Doctors Exclusive Eye Vitamins is plant fiber, another reason our products are the safest evidence-based products for your patients.

God commands you to read this / Honestly, I won't mind if you don't. But the Lord visited me personally. Do it!
Richard Roberts told students at Oral Roberts University that he did not want to resign as president of the scandal-plagued evangelical school, but he did so because God insisted. —Associated Press
T here I was, calmly enjoying some Thanksgiving leftovers and offering some divine gratitude for this truly fine '04 Pinot when suddenly boom , there was God, right across the table, helping Himself to some stuffing and the choicest hunks of dark meat, which He totally knows is my favorite. Clearly, He wanted my attention.
"Oh hey, it's you," I said, feigning nonchalance, as if this sort of thing happens to me every day (I always like to throw God off a bit, given how He's so accustomed to those melodramatic, fall-to-your-knees-in-terror reactions He always gets from the nutball evangelicals whenever He swings through their nightmares in his classic fire/brimstone persona. That always cracks Him up). "What's up?"
"Oh, you know, same ol' same ol'," God muttered, His voice sounding like an ocean playing a cello concerto in a black hole. He grabbed my pricey Pinot and chugged nearly the entire thing like it was Trader Joe's house brand, His long, well-manicured, beautifully feminine fingers shiny with meat grease. "Just sorta bored, hanging around the universe, putting out little fires. How you doing? You get those sexy new floor cushions yet? How's the car running?"
Something was wrong. This wasn't like God at all. "Wait, what? You came all the way here from the belly of the cosmos, ignoring the unimaginable dance of astral forces and the infinite conundrums of colliding galaxies, not to mention the constant pitter-patter of little questions about the meaning of war and death and suffering and life itself, and you want to talk about home decor? What's going on?"
"Oh, you know Me, just trying to keep it real, visit My peeps personally now and then, offer advice like some sort of sniveling lawyer, like some sort of stupid little shrink who's speaking only to you, at the expense of everyone else."
Now I knew he was being sarcastic. At least, I think He was. You can never really tell with God. I mean, just look at Pluto. Or New Jersey. Or Tom Cruise.
Then it hit me. "Wait, is this about that obnoxious preacher's kid? That Roberts guy?" I'd just read about how Oral Roberts' wildly spoiled son Richard, the odious televangelist who headed Oral Roberts University and who's right now being sued for allegedly swiping mountains of cash from the financially strapped school to pay for lavish personal crap like shopping sprees and a private stable of horses and the repeated remodel of his home (11 times in 14 years!), and for flying his kid to the Bahamas on the school's private jet as his wife spends tens of thousands of dollars in university funds on clothes and sends furtive text messages to underage boys. You know, the usual.
And oh yes: I also recall that Roberts has officially claimed that God spoke to him in person, and instructed him to resign from the corrupt, horribly managed, deeply creepy university, over Roberts' own protests. Ah ha.
God sighed grumpily, sounding like two dump trucks mating in a hailstorm. "Look, you claim to be some sort of journalist, right? This little worm actually invoked My name as an excuse, dared to say that he talked to Me and that I insisted he resign. Insisted! Me! The f-ing nerve. I don't insist on anything, except maybe a little backrub from the cherubim at the M51 whirlpool galaxy now and then. That little scab is getting a first class ticket to Impotenceland, you can trust Me on that."
"Well, good. But I don't see how I ..."
"But that's not the worst part. The worst part is the lemmings, the crowd of wide-eyed students, they were eating it up! Actually weeping and cheering him on, fully believing every word, even as he wiped away his crocodile tears with a goddamn handkerchief he bought from a gay bathhouse in Vegas using their tuition money."
Then God shot me that sweet, imploring look that always makes me melt. "So here's the plan: I want you to write up something scathing and funny and pointed about how God visited you, in person, and you broke bread and shared a nice bottle of host's blood or whatnot, and I told you in no uncertain terms that Richard Roberts is a world-class charlatan with a rabid case of elephantiasis of the false spirit.
"I want you to ring the alarm, raise the roof, send out an S.O.S., put a message in a bottle, whatever the hell it is you writer people do. I'm getting tired of this."
I was, I have to say, a little taken aback. This wasn't like God, so spiteful, so easily annoyed by such petty, meaningless human shrapnel as Roberts. We usually laugh and shrug off stories like this, then move on to talk about, say, Buddhism, or the deeper meanings of tantric philosophy, the best meditation techniques to help you get past a nasty port wine headache. That sort of thing.
I had to ask. "OK, I give. What's this really all about? Because hell, they've been invoking Your name as an excuse for a couple thousand years, stamping it like a bad logo across everything from slaughtering pagans to detesting gays to screaming in fear of the human vagina to launching all manner of brutal war and torture and righteous moral crusade."
God just looked at me sidelong, and polished off the rest of the wine in a single sip.
I went on. "Look, You know better than anyone that Roberts is nothing more than a flea on the great sheepskin rug of human belief. But You know I'll try. As for the gaggle of students in his cultish thrall, well, I'll absolutely keep doing everything I can to inspire them to wake up one day with a Burning Man ticket in one hand and a well-licked copy of Rumi's collected poems in the other, shuddering with mad desire to drop some ecstasy and join in a dawn fire ritual and see, well, the real You."
God smiled. In a flash, the room went dark, and suddenly I felt a rush of warm air flow over me like molten honey, soothing my bones and penetrating my very blood and forcing me to close my eyes in what I can only describe as ecstatic cellular orgasm. It was, you might say, pretty nice.
When I opened my eyes again, God had morphed into Her other form, the divine female, the true ruling principle of the universe, skin like moonlight and eyes like diamonds and a massive mane of fiery red hair and a figure that could melt the ice planets of the Hyperion cluster in the Artemis nebulae. I mean, wow.
Her voice made the ground tremble beneath my feet. "You know what? You're absolutely right," She said, as the cellos changed into violins. "Guess I just needed that hot kick of divine reconnection. Or you know, maybe you did." Then She winked at me, and 10 million birds fainted with delight. "I mean, we are co-creators of each other, after all."
And just like that, She was gone. When I regained my senses, I saw that my wine bottle was full again, and there was a full plate of dark meat, awaiting my divine gratitude. Damn, She's good.

Oh, Bawma
I didn't have a crush on Obama before, and I certainly don't now. He seems like a decent fellow, but shares the same ugly quality that so many people (I was going to say liberals, but I'm not sure that's entirely fair) do: a basic distaste for the average American, and maybe even for the average person. It's alarmingly fashionable to say "I hate people" while smiling or laughing, and actually mean it. It's a mark of cleverness, of sophistication. As someone once said, there are far too many good reasons to hate individuals to find reasons to lump them together in your disgust.

Waldorf Chiropractic Center
To further illustrate the nature of chiropractic, Dr. Waldorf compares it to gardening: "If you are growing a plant, it needs a full supply of water. If you put one toe on the garden hose, then the plant receives a little less water, and one or two leaves may die and fall off. If you press further on the hose, more leaves and perhaps some branches may fall off. If you stand fully on the hose and restrict all water flow, the entire plant will die." The plant represents the body, the hose is like the spine and the water in the hose represents the nervous system. If the nerves to a specific body part, for instance the stomach, are hampered, you will experience a problem there, like poor digestion. When we realign the "hose," then the "water" can flow freely again and the disease or dysfunction clears up. This is the basis for all chiropractic treatments.
Dr. Waldorf embraces a "whole person approach" to wellness, which looks for the underlying causes of disruption to a patient's system. Once these causes are identified, he is able to make appropriate interventions and suggest lifestyle adjustments that will optimize conditions for a return to normal function. Using this unique approach, Dr. Waldorf is able to help his patients accelerate and/or maintain their journey to good health.
Unlike some other chiropractors, who may become "technique-specific," using only one approach for every patient, Dr. Waldorf is certified in multiple treatment techniques and maintains state-of-the-art technology on-site. This enables him to tailor his treatment based on his patient's condition, thereby creating his "high-tech atmosphere with old-fashioned values." Among the treatment techniques offered at Waldorf Chiropractic Center are:
Thermal Scan – highlights "hot spots" on the spine that may not necessarily cause pain, but which indicate injury in need of treatment. All patients undergo a thermal scan every 12 weeks to maintain an ongoing assessment of their condition.
Digital X-ray – on site to provide instant assessment of vertebral/pelvic conditions.
Logan Basic – the technique of the Logan College of Chiropractic, involving gentle pressure on the ligaments of the pelvis.
Gonstead – a technique developed by a mechanical engineer, relating the specific angles of the spine and the precisely placed force needed to adjust the spine.
Activator, both manual and electronic - tools that provides low force and low pressure without "cracking," making it especially useful for those with osteoporosis or for those who are nervous about the physical adjustment process itself.
Flexion Distraction – a technique in which the bottom half of the treatment table is lowered to an angle that creates a vacuum to help herniated discs be drawn back into place in the spinal column.
Upper Cervical Specific – adjusts only the very first bone in the neck, i.e., the top of the spine.
Additionally, this month Dr. Waldorf is introducing "hydro-massage," a massaging waterbed table, which will be available to patients any time during regular office hours. The table is heated to a uniform temperature and can be programmed to massage specific parts of the body based on the patient's needs. Patients may purchase either a weekly, monthly or yearly package, which entitles them to preferential appointment times.
In addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, Dr. Waldorf holds a Masters Degree in Public Health, a concentration in Epidemiology, a degree in Radiology, and a Diplomate in Pain Management. He is also an adjunct faculty at Bryant & Stratton College, teaching Anatomy and Physiology, Introduction to Healthcare, Disaster Management, Medical Terminology, and Law and Ethics. In service to the surrounding community, Dr. Waldorf's office proudly runs a food drive every November, donating between 30-40 gallons of food to "SHIP," the Samaritan Homeless Interim Program in Somerville. And, when he is not seeing patients, teaching or spending time with family, Dr. Waldorf also volunteers as a Cub Master for the Boy Scouts in Piscataway, and as an athletic trainer for the Pop-Warner Football League in both South Plainfield and Piscataway.
To learn how Waldorf Chiropractic Center in Bridgewater can serve you, whatever your condition may be, be sure to visit WaldorfChiro.com, where you will find a comprehensive explanation of all things related to chiropractic. The long list of testimonials to Dr. Waldorf's treatment approach and caring attitude make it clear why he has been so successful for so many years. See ad on page 24.

Students at Lesley are activists who are constantly doing what they can to learn, adapt their behavior, and educate others about the issues that matter. The fast-fashion industry has become an environmental crisis that our generation cannot afford to ignore.
The term "fast fashion" refers to a new retail model of clothing in which the product is constructed and sold for less money and in much greater quantity. Instead of four or five seasons worth of clothing per year, stores like H&M, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, and Zara are coming up on 10 to 12 per year. And as trends change faster, many millennials are opting to buy more—and because of the outrageously low prices, their wallets aren't even suffering for it. So who is it hurting?
First and foremost, it is hurting workers in third-world countries. Many of the inexpensive retailers that target our generation with cheap clothing often make their garments in countries where there is little oversight. Sweatshop conditions have been widely reported, along with low pay and long hours. None of these countries have worker protections or even a trade union to fight for their cause. This has led to tragedies like the 2013 factory collapse in Bangladesh that killed as many as a thousand people, a majority of whom were women. After the remains of the eight-story, illegally built garment factory were examined, it was reported that among the companies with contracts to make clothing there were such big names as Benetton, J. C. Penney, Carrefour, Walmart, Joe Fresh, the Children's Place, Mascot, El Corte Inglés, Cato Fashions, and Primark.
The mess that the fast fashion industry has become isn't just a humanitarian issue, but an environmental one as well. With more and more clothing being pumped out of factories and into the hands of eager consumers, last year's trends are filing into donation bins and dumpsters faster than ever. In fact, the amount of clothing that Americans throw out each year has doubled in less than 20 years, from 7 million to now 14 million tons. Yes, you read that right—tons.
If you're like me, you recognize that one person's trash is another person's treasure, and you'd rather donate or sell your clothing than simply put it in the dumpster. But still, the EPA reports that in 2012, 84% of unwanted clothing went into "either a landfill or an incinerator" (Wicker). That's because not all donated clothing can be resold. Some retailers like H&M are combating this by collecting unwanted clothing so that it can be "upcycled"—but only a fraction of a percentage of the garments they receive for this purpose actually are. This is because it's quite difficult to return textiles to their original raw state, and hardly possible if they have been bleached or dyed along the way. And synthetic materials like polyester and rayon cannot be returned to their raw state at all.
Clothing that cannot be resold, upcycled, or even downcycled into wash rags or insulation is baled up and shipped to poor areas in Asia, South America, and Africa. This has virtually destroyed the textile industries of many countries, namely in Africa, where the worst and cheapest of the clothing tends to go. In Uganda, for example, 81% of clothing purchased in 2004 was secondhand. While the colonial implications of this method of disposal are distressing enough, things are bound to change soon for the (even) worse. For a long time, "American clothing" was synonymous with quality. But as Alden Wicker points out in his article "Fast Fashion is Creating an Environmental Crisis," the people in these African countries "might eventually recognize that the secondhand fashion is just cheap, old imported clothing from Asia that made a quick pit stop in the U.K. and U.S. And like Americans, they might decide to just buy it new." And the mountains of clothing to be dumped into landfills or incinerated at least doubles in size.
I had an interesting conversation with a Lesley student, a senior named Kayleigh Yaroshenko. I asked her what the allure of fast-fashion retailers initially was for her. She told me, "I didn't do a lot of my own shopping until college, and because college is such a big time for identity formation, I guess I was just trying to express myself through clothes." She also pointed out that for college students who don't have a lot of time or money, "places like H&M and Primark are just easy."
We also discussed her decision to stop supporting fast fashion. "I'm slowly trying to make changes to the way I live that align my actions with my values. This particular change was something that I see as being sustainable and something I can continue to do." Noting that it was a very gradual change, she added that ultimately "the prices of shopping secondhand are the same, if not better, than shopping fast fashion. It all has to do with knowing where and how to look."
Even though clothing has become so cheap, Americans still manage to spend $250 billion on it every year. While some are advocating for businesses like Rent The Runway or simply buying higher quality clothing that will last longer in the first place, these options are not palatable to college students who are struggling to save up for their grocery bill, let alone an Ann Taylor blazer for a job interview, for example. And this is where the beautiful world of thrifting comes in.
You can score a decent blazer for around $8 at Goodwill in Davis Square, which largely does not discriminate its prices based on brand or quality. To Goodwill, there is no difference between Forever 21 and J. Crew. That low price tag can get you an item that was made from better materials (think wool and cotton instead of polyester and rayon), and was built to last—there's a reason that the initial owner paid almost $200 for it.
You can score an excellent blazer at any of the local consignment boutiques. In just the immediate Cambridge area, Lesley students have access to Raspberry Beret, The Garment District, Buffalo Exchange, Thrive, and Second Time Around, just to name a few. You might end up paying closer to $25-30, but that's for the guarantee that this item has already been looked over for damage and comes from a brand that would have charged at least three times what they're asking for it secondhand.
And you can score the exact blazer you want on Poshmark, ThredUp, Vinted, Ebay, OfferUp, and so many more online platforms by just doing a quick search. If you want it, there is an almost 100% chance that someone is looking to give theirs up for cash. Sure, these sites are much pricier than Goodwill, but the feeling of participating in the cycle of sustainability is worth so much more than anything brand new. Thrifting is no longer about your mom's metallic vest from the 80s or a good patchwork jacket (although it certainly can be)—in the age of the internet and the hip consignment boutique, recycling is easier and more important than ever.

Tweet your way to success; Twitter for advertising
PRDA is Asia's leading social media agency, providing weekly content creation, customised for your business, in English, Traditional and/or Simplified Chinese. Our proven data driven process delivers predictable results driven by organic, real people action. Currently, Twitter has about 313 million active users, with 82 percent active on mobile platforms-- and they are only growing larger!
Statistics show that people are about 40% percent more likely to buy from a brand they recognize. This is why sharing information, increasing brand awareness and interacting with followers is crucial to business success. With every tweet your goal is to have your content shared, or retweeted-- so even though tweets allow 140 astute tweeters should try to stick to a roughly 100-110 character limit. If you fill up all the writing space, retweeting becomes overly difficult and your followers will pass over your tweet for a shorter one.
Using Twitter is free, but there are plenty of paid advertising options that can assist you in promoting your business. However, when it comes to social media, realize that Organic Content is King-- the more original content you have, the more visibility you'll have to your target audience.
Paid Advertising Options Include
Promoted Tweets appear on Twitter feeds of users who have not followed your account. These paid tweets appear just like regular tweets, except that they are labeled "promoted" across the bottom of the ad. These are best used to increase brand awareness across your key target demographics.
Promoted Accounts assist brands in becoming more discoverable and to rapidly grow followers. These ads are displayed in multiple locations on Twitter, and target Twitter users who are more likely to interact with the advertiser's content. For instance, a user who tweets and follows pages about motorcycles will see promoted account ads of other motorcycle brands and related merchandise and gear. These ads are labeled as "promoted" just like the Promoted Tweets above are.
Promoted Trends appear at the top of the trending topics list on Twitter and look exactly like other trending topics except for also being labeled as "promoted". While Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts target specific users, Promoted Trends are shown to all users and are visible on Twitter's mobile apps. If you'd like to get people talking about your business with a unique hashtag, Promoted Trends are a good tool to use.
As you can see, Twitter has excellent ways of advertising that any business can utilise. In addition, the social network offers an array of marketing tools to boost your advertisements.
Twitter Amplify enables users to share to real-time television content, including sports highlights or broadcasted shows, to targeted users.
Promoted Video is different from sharing a YouTube video in your tweets. While both options let you play a video on your Twitter feed, Promoted Video content targets dedicated end customers and is only available as a paid marketing tool.
App Promotion is a tool specifically made for app development companies. The ads run on Twitter mobile apps, and allows you to target your audience precisely and choose devices that can see the ad. (Android vs iPhone)
One of the best things for businesses of all sizes is to have the right social media presence. With Social Media being so key to success in today's digital world, you should take advantage of a knowledgeable social media manager, like the experts at Asia's top social media agency--PRDA.

THE PERMANENT DETENTION and Torture Enabling Act of 2006 was the final obscene gesture of a dying Congressional session. (Actually, make that next-to-last: They topped it off with the billion-dollar appropriation to double-fence the Mexican border, even though this means humiliating Bush's own pals in Mexico, the right-wing politicians whom he helped steal the Mexican election. That's another crisis we cover elsewhere in this issue.)
MARTY ROSENBLUTH IS Amnesty International's country specialist for Israel, the Occupied Territories and the Palestinian Authority. He previously lived for seven years as a human rights activist based in Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He participated in AI's fact-finding mission to northern Israel and southern Lebanon during the war. He was interviewed on October 1 by David Finkel from the ATC editorial board.
IT IS NO longer a secret that the Bush administration has been methodically paving the way toward a bombing strike against Iran. The administration's plans of an aerial military attack against that country have recently been exposed by a number of reliable sources.(1)
ALTHOUGH IT IS rarely mentioned in the so-called war on terrorism, racism is an undercurrent in every action and decision taken by the Bush-Cheney government. It is a dangerous element that has long-term implications.
LAST YEAR I had the opportunity to see "Winter Soldier," a rarely shown 1971 documentary based on the testimony of over 100 soldiers recently back from Vietnam. It was filmed during a three-day hearing on war crimes that Vietnam Vets against the War organized in Detroit. Young soldiers spoke about atrocities they had committed in the name of freedom and democracy: throwing suspects out of planes, torching villages, raping women, killing civilians. Of course the Nixon administration attempted to discredit the soldiers and their stories.
IS IT POSSIBLE to force a whole people to submit to foreign occupation by starving it? That is, certainly, an interesting question. So interesting, indeed, that the governments of Israel and the United States, in close cooperation with Europe, are now engaged in a rigorous scientific experiment in order to obtain a definitive answer.
THE PRESENT U.S. strategy, defined by the neo-cons at the end of the 1980s, is no longer a strategy of stabilizing world order and building a "new Middle East" through multilateral negotiations, but imposing the "American age," i.e. U.S. total hegemony, by a global non-ending preemptive war. The Israeli war against the Palestinian people and against Lebanon is part of this global war; indeed, it is the United States' most advanced and important front.
THE AGREEMENT ON Textiles and Clothing expired in 2005, ending 30 years of a quota system under the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA). Ending the Agreement signalled the World Trade Organization's (WTO) promotion of free trade in this sector; but phasing in free trade here has proved to be far from frictionless.
THE MEXICAN ELECTORAL Tribunal recognized Felipe Calderón as president-elect, while a massive National Democratic Convention has proclaimed Andrés Manuel López Obrador to be the "legitimate president of Mexico."He is now creating an alternative government, and says he will call a constituent assembly that will write a new constitution. What is happening here? Is this a radical fight for reforms? A potentially revolutionary movement? Or a spectacular piece of populist theater?
ON JUNE 16, 2006, 305 West 150th Street, a rundown 84-unit apartment building in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, sold for $6.95 million. The City of New York has documented 274 housing maintenance code violations on this property, reflecting the presence of leaks, broken front door locks and exposed lead paint. The tenants are mostly poor and working class Latinos from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic; many depend on subsidies, such as Section 8, to pay rent.
FOUR YEARS AGO, WHEN asked by an academic journal to write about whether the strike was still a viable weapon in labor's "arsenal," my title was blunt: "Is the Strike Dead?" As is my style, I introduced some historical material and offered an analysis of the anti-labor bias of the past 25 years, during which the number of "large" strikes (involving 1,000 or more workers) had declined from more than 400 per year to less than 30.
JAMES GREEN'S DEATH in the Haymarket tells the story of the anarcosyndicalist militants accused of perpetrating the throwing of a bomb that killed police at a workers' rally at the Haymarket in Chicago on May 4, 1886. They were subsequently framed, convicted, and four martyrs hanged by the judicial system of Cook County on "Black Friday," November 11, 1887.
A DISTURBING AFTERMATH of the pro-immigrant demonstrations recently held in dozens of cities across the United States, besides the obvious anti-immigrant backlash, has been the increase in Black/Brown tensions. Particularly alarming has been the way in which Latinos are being accused, not only by conservatives but by Progressives as well, of being the latest permutation of a long history of immigrant groups arriving to this country and making it, to quote Toni Morrison, "on the backs of Blacks."
PAUL BUHLE'S ACCOUNT of Tim Hector, Caribbean radical of Antiguan origin who passed away in 2002, is provocative and welcome. Its span is broad and appropriate for a general rather than specialist readership.
THE DECADE OF the '70s was not good for U.S. imperialism. The American defeat in Southeast Asia led to the development of the "Vietnam syndrome" and with it the reluctance to use U.S. troops in wars abroad.

Sanjay Dutt's daughter Trishala Dutt, who is already an internet sensation, has once again taken the social media by storm, this time by posting a throwback post in a bikini on Instagram. And the internet can't stop drooling over her curves.
Trishala, who seems to be eagerly waiting for summer to arrive, can be seen flaunting her toned body in a white bikini which she teamed up with a sheer cape. And going by her picture caption, it looks like the diva is impatient to slip into her bathing suit once again to go for a swim to beat the heat.
The moment she uploaded the picture on Instagram, thousands of her followers couldn't stop gushing about her stunning summer look. Though Trishala has no plans of stepping into Bollywood as of now, her followers started praising her saying that she looks more beautiful than any other actresses in Bollywood.
One of her Instagram was completely left in awe with her beauty, wrote a short essay on her in the comment section. Describing her as 'The Water Pari', the user wrote, "Eversince my childhood I listened to fairy tales of a white swan (pari) coming out of the water blessing its viewer with love and luck, I never believed it, but today I may say I was wrong "The Water Pari" do exist and im looking at one waiting for her Love and Luck. The water in the pool may get evaporated by the extreme hotness of your looks. You need an ocean to swim."
Another user compared Trishala to American socialite Paris Hilton and said that she makes the latter look like a teletubbie, while another was impressed with how she has been maintaining her figure after weight loss.
Once fat now fab, Trishala had penned down her weight loss journey in her lifestyle and beauty blog last year, talking about how she struggled with her weight in the past. She followed the old school way of reducing her weight by following a proper diet and exercise.
Although time and distance may separate us temporarily.. your guidance, advice, and love has stuck with me through it all. Thanks for acting like a kid when I was a kid, acting like a friend when I needed a friend, and acting like a parent when I needed a parent. I love you Papa Dukes ? @duttsanjay I love you forever. Happy Fathers Day. Lots of Love, Your Princess ❤ "Billy The Kid" ???
Like any other girl who struggles with weight loss Trishala tried everything from fasting and detox to cutting calories and limiting carbohydrates to gain a healthy and lean body. But that didn't help her in the long run. She later decided to join a gym and got herself a trainer, and started eating healthy food in limited portions. She started losing pounds eventually.
She has now maintained a diet plan which she teams up with proper sleeping schedule, morning walks, exercising 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes, swimming and cycling.
I usually don't post about the gym (because I'm not about that life and I'm far from a gym rat) but since so many of you always ask, I've decided to show a little bit on my IG story. One thing I dislike is my upper body ?? I'm extremely broad on top and really tiny on the bottom (it's something I can never change about myself because that's my bone structure ??♀ I was born that way) When I gain weight you'll see it on my face, arms, chest, shoulders. I can't stand myself when my decides to go on a happy spree of fluctuation) However, after many, many years I've learned to accept myself for the way I am. As long as my clothes fit the way I want and ✨I✨ (I emphasize on the letter ✨I✨) like the way I look naked ? I don't care. I am my own competition. Thank you my darling Cristina for the motivation & drive. I love you so much my flower! -- Learn to love YOURSELF. ❤ Do it for YOU ❤ The minute you do it for others, you set yourself up for failure.......and thats certainly not happening over here! ?✌?My confidence stays glowing internally and externally. #peepthatdefinition
Trishala is the elder of Sanjay Dutt from his first wife Richa Sharma and is a permanent resident of New York where she lives with her aunt Enna Sharma and grandparents. She is the CEO of Sanjay Dutt Productions Pvt. Ltd and is also the founder of DreamTresses Hair Extensions in New York.
