Think of the Source
There's a Chinese proverb that Thomas So, E78, A13P, lives by: When you drink water, think of its source. It came to mind recently, when So was thinking of a phone call he got from Hong Kong when he was a sophomore at Tufts: His father's business was struggling, and he might not be able to pay So's tuition for the second half of the year.
Desperate, So went to the financial aid office. To his surprise and gratitude, they were able to offer him a work-study scholarship that would cover the outstanding tuition. For 20 hours a week, So manned a dorm security desk, signing in students and studying in between. "Being a foreign student, I wasn't entitled to any kind of financial aid," So said, "but Tufts came up with a solution to help me."
With his entrepreneurial skills and hard work, So became sole owner of Excel Product Ltd.—a Hong Kong–based exporter of machinery and equipment manufactured in Asia—and sent his eldest son, Kevin, to Tufts. Kevin, A13, majored in economics and environmental studies and now works in Amsterdam.
Today, So is repaying the help Tufts gave him with a $1 million gift to support and name a teaching lab suite at the new Science and Engineering Complex. So's gift is part of Brighter World: The Campaign for Tufts. He spoke at the campaign's launch event in Hong Kong on May 31, when his gift was announced by President Monaco, and it also marked So's 40th anniversary since graduating from Tufts.
After touring the striking new engineering building early this year, So was impressed with the upgraded, modern, interdisciplinary labs. "They mark just how far the university has come," So said. Since last year, students in introductory biology, chemistry, and engineering have been using the new So Teaching Labs, which include a connected office, prep lab, and two large teaching labs to facilitate collaboration, and this fall, plaques commemorating So's gift were installed at the labs' entrances.
"I'm very proud and excited to see that Tufts has progressed so much," So said. "And I wanted to do something to help." So has made annual gifts to the School of Engineering and supported multiple term scholarships in the past. In addition, he has hosted factory tours for students at the Tufts-in-China study abroad program. Behind his generosity is a sense of gratitude. He has never forgotten that without his work-study scholarship, he probably would have had to leave college. "Tufts gave me the knowledge and the vision to get me to where I am today," said So, whose son Kevin is inspired by his Tufts philanthropy.
Now, So sincerely hopes that his gift will help encourage other Tufts alumni to give—particularly those from Hong Kong. "I hope that my initiative can inspire other alumni to give Tufts the financial support to pursue cutting-edge research," So said, "and provide a great education for present and future students."

hellomellow Review
Over the past few years, I have grown more conscious of what kind of beauty products I use for my hair and my skin. I seek out hair products that are paraben-free and sulfate-free, and I look for skin products that are made from all natural ingredients and contain no chemicals or other harmful ingredients. Your skin and hair absorb what you put on your body, so it's important to make sure that you are only using safe products.
For over 10 years, Tracey Feldstein has been mixing her own oils, body butters, and more to share with friends, family, and her massage therapy clients. Her products contain no fillers, and are only made of natural ingredients that I look for when considering a new product to try. Tracey's products are now available on hellomellow, and I had the opportunity to give them a try.
I received a cute mesh bag that contained a lip butter, body oil, body butter, and body scrub. Since I constantly have dry skin because of Utah's climate, these were exactly the right products for me to test out.
Unwind Lip Butter (.125 oz.)
I have a pretty large collection of lip glosses, lip sticks, and balms, but ever since my hellomellow products arrived I have been addicted to the silky smooth lips I get from using hellomellow lip butter. I can actually pronounce all of the ingredients (which are disclosed on the lip butter tube) and I know what each ingredient is, which is a rarity with most bath and beauty products that live in my bathroom. After just a few applications, the pieces of dry skin on my lips became incredibly soft and fell away, leaving me with softer and healthier looking lips. Unwind has a slightly spicy scent; it's a combination of cedarwood and vanilla, and I love it. I also love the shape of the container; instead of a circle, it's a long oval and easier to store in jeans pockets or a small purse.
Balance Body Butter
I love the body butter for moisturizing from head to toe. My legs are always the worst after a shave, and body butter can be quite soothing. I always feel little bumps rising up from the irritation of the razor, but the body butter makes them less visible and noticeable to the touch. The Balance scent reminds me of a nice, warm cup of tea that I would drink to relax. It's no surprise I'm reminded of tea, because two of the ingredients that stood out to me with this particular scent are chamomile and orange.
Relax Body Oil
On particularly dry days or just when I need a little extra pampering, I massage the body oil into my skin. It's very relaxing and calming, and my skin has a lovely shine to it. I like this look for special occasions when I'll be wearing a dress or skirt with bare legs. If I am really up for pampering and choose a bath as a way to unwind, I love adding body oil to my bath and then following up with the body butter.
Revitalize Body Scrub
I have quite a few body scrubs that I rotate between in my shower, but the hellomellow really stood out to me. It has the same consistency, unlike some of the other ones I have been using. It also doesn't leave shine or slime on my skin; I feel soft and moisturized without feeling like I have a thick coating of something on my skin. I love the subtle lavender in the Revitalize scent.
If you purchase any of the items from the Balance collection, 5% of your purchase will be donated to Boarding 4 Breast Cancer, a foundation that provides retreats for breast cancer survivors with an emphasis on healing and surviving long term.
Hellomellow has some great already assembled gift baskets for that special woman in your life. If you're looking for something thoughtful and elegant this Mother's Day, check out hellomellow and see what they have to offer. And don't forget to treat yourself to a little something, too!

The 2019 Budget Binder is finally here! I am planning to share one of these each year to help you guys with creating your monthly budgets, save money, and track your spending, savings goals and spending.
I don't know about you, but having a budget has really made me sharpen up as to what I was spending every month.
You're thinking – but where do I start? Right?
Well first let's have a look at this cute little binder and its contents.
It so had to have a cute cover. It's simple and has clean lines – not fussy. I don't particularly like overly flowery or fussy!
I'm just excited looking at my binder now and everything I am determined to achieve.
I write this at the beginning of the year, by logging on to my bank account and looking at all my reoccuring payments.
These could be:
- Loan payments
- Insurance payments
- Utility bills
- Subscription services
- Tuition or lesson fees
- Gym memberships
- Regular charitable giving
- Recurring contributions to savings
Click here to view my new updated product Smash Your Budget Manual
– Usually I print two or three of these, so the first one is for me to just write down everything I have on the bank list (direct debits and standing orders)
– Then I order them in terms of different budget areas, so I can see if I have missed anything.
But you may be thinking:
Where do I find all this information for the financial binder?
- Any paperwork from the last year, and documents. Sometimes you might have paid for e.g car insurance, in a yearly lump sum. I do this so I don't miss any renewal dates.
- Bank, loan or building society statements
- Your banking app.
I write on my final sheet, everything in an order that makes sense to me.
Renewal dates are important to me here, as I can negotiate new deals every year and slash the cost of all budget areas if I am determined enough (which I am!)
You might want to order these subscriptions in renewal date order, so you are super focused on which ones are due for renewal each month.
Goal setting is crucial in our plan every year, as it makes us accountable to ourselves for what action we are going to take to make this happen.
We will sit down and figure out, based on our monthly budget, what is possible by looking at what money is available to be saved.
I firmly believe that a budget where you pay yourself (to your savings) first is the only way. If you leave until the end of the month, to see what you will have left, the reality is there will not be much.
Pay yourself first.
(put your savings away first, not at the end of the month).
If you make yourself save, for example, 10% of your earnings first, you will then have to trim your budget to suit this! Win! Win!
I'm not saying this approach will be easy, but it forces you to be self-disciplined and to send your money where you want it to go, rather than watch it go.
Pin me so you can use me later!
I have 3 budget sheets on my monthly budget planner and it gives me enough room to write down everything that I know I will need to budget for.
My subscription list helps here because it contains a lot of payments that are coming out of my account automatically. I write these in first, then I estimate what I will spend on for example groceries.
For some of these items:
- coffee
- groceries
- hair and beauty
- eating out
I am using a cash envelope. So I set myself a budget on my budget worksheet, then mark next to the column on my budget planner CE for cash envelope.
On pay day, I make up my cash envelopes, with the cash I have budgeted to spend that month. For more information on how to use cash envelopes see my post on cash envelopes.
Omg, you are thinking – this is too overwhelming!
How am I gonna be able to do all of this at once?
Where do I start with monthly budgeting?
My budget binder has saved me hundreds in the 6 months I have used it. It will be the best $10 you spend this year!
Again, I wouldn't be afraid to print more than one of these, for different budget areas. As a family budget worksheet, it really gives me a good ideas of how much I am spending in reality. So for groceries, I fill it in after every shop I do. It helps to keep the receipts, so you don't have to hold the information in your head.
At the end of the month, you can use this sheet to see why overspends have happened and trim your spending accordingly.
It gives you an early warning system also, to remind you to manage your money throughout the month. So if you've spent over a quarter of your budget on shopping in the first week of the month, you will have to reduce your grocery shops in week 2, 3 and 4 to accommodate this.
Use the spending tracker sheet to check why overspends have happened.
Mark on your spending tracker if the month is actually a 5 week month. You will need to think about your budget areas in terms of making them last for 5 weeks, not 4.
I want the new budget binder! (2020)
Has this given you laser focus to start your own monthly budget or budget binder?
What are your financial goals?
Remember to think big and go for it! You can do it – and achieve the free financial future you deserve.
In the meantime, as you are building up your budget picture, read these posts on specific ways of saving money:
- How to Save More Money Each Month By Cutting Personal Spending
Also, feel free to use the comments to give us all suggestions on ways of saving money, so we can all become financially free sooner!

Kat Stacks Is Back And She Has A New Beef!
AllHipHop Staff
(AllHipHop Rumors) By Ne' Richa (@IAmNeRicha)
(AllHipHop Rumors) Miami was certainly crackin this weekend when Kat Stacks came under fire for some explosive disagreement that's due to turn physical.
Hip-Hop artist, @StarCavalli and Kat Stacks collaborated for an industry event in Miami when the two supposedly got into an altercation.
Cavalli expressed on her IG that she let the disagreement go until Stacks decided to speak on her kids. What was said, and how, is still not known.
BUT what is known is that Cavalli made it crystal clear that it is now "on sight".
Could this be a ploy to get more of a name in the game for this new artist?https://www.instagram.com/p/BggF-dHg99z/?hl=en&taken-by=starcavalli https://www.instagram.com/p/BggLpzEgXQS/?hl=en&taken-by=starcavalli

This list contains many differnent technologies that are useful in teaching elementary students of all learning styles and comprehention levels.
Quiver is a great augmented reality tool that brings the students coloring to life in a 3D image. It's great to keep the student engaged and to create a fun and interactive learning environment.
Popplet is an on line web that allows students to organize their thoughts before writing. Its just like making a web on paper, however you can add pictures, colors, and you can move the boxes around without having to erase and rewrite. Its a very neat and organized way to plan out a story, and students will have fun being able to decorated add pictures to aid their thought process.
This is another game site that is specifically dedicated to math. It's a great way to get students interested in math as well as getting them more practice on their math skills. As a student improves their math skills they can move up in the levels, but if they are still having trouble, they can stay on a lower level untill they have mastered that skill and are ready to move on. This is a great way to challenge students who excell in this subject and also to not overwhelm a student who has trouble in that area.
This is an augmented reality app that gives students a new way to learn about science. This app has coloring sheets that each student can decorate how ever they would like, then using an ipad or smart phone, the app brings that picture to life. There are also many fun tools on this app that explain the different parts of the picture, whether its the human body or learning how plants grow the students will be entertained. This app will keep their attention as well as teach them a lot about the science behind their coloring page.
This website allows students to write and illustrate their own stories. Students can draw or upload pictures to go along with their stories and then record their voice to go along with each page. Then to present their story to the class they just push a button and their voice is reading a story they wrote. This website also allows you to share your book with other people. If you put your story on "public" then anyone can read the story the student wrote and leave comments as to why they like it.
Funbrain is an online arcade full of games for math and reading. These games not only help students learn, but get them excited to learn. There are a multitude of different games to help students who may be struggling or challenge students who are excelling at a particular subject.
Tellagami is great for higher level elementary school classes. This tool allows students to create an avatar and record there own voice. This is great for a class project or presentation and can even be used by the teacher to present the days lesson. Students will think its col to see their avatar on the projector and it keeps everyone interested in the topic at hand.
This website is like Facebook for the classroom. It's a site where the teacher can set up a page for the class and students can upload the work they have done to share it with the class as well as their parents. Parents have access to this page in order to be able to see what their child is learning as well as see how their child is improving. This gives students pride in their work because they can share it with everyone and other students or parents can comment on their work and tell them why they like it.
This website is another game website for kids. All of the games are educational and have to do with math, reading, writing, or science. This is a great way for students to work on those skills because, not only is it fun, but their is immediate reward when they get something right. it will keep them playing the games and, therefore, keep them working on there math, reading, writing, and science skills.
GoNoodle is a website full of fun songs and dances for students to start out their day. This is a great way to start the day in the classroom becuase it gets students moving and excited for the day. This will improve their focuse for the day and, therefor, improve their attention and leaning. It allows the students to get out the excitment when they first get to class and see all of their friends, they get to release that energy and then they are ready for the day.

The idea of investing with a social purpose is gaining ground. The broad category of sustainable and responsible investing grew 38 percent in the United States from 2016 to the start of 2018, to $12 trillion in assets under management, according to the US SIF Foundation. That represented one out of every four dollars of the $46.6 trillion under management, the group noted. A wide range of investments were held, including mutual funds, annuities, E.T.F.s and closed-end funds. Morningstar reported that 2018 marked the third consecutive year of record flows into sustainable funds; the number of sustainable funds also jumped nearly 50 percent. So far, most sustainable investments are held by institutional and high-net-worth investors. Negligible amounts are held in workplace retirement plans.
Virginia Community Capital will host the 2019 Learning Exchange at the Science Museum of Virginia on December 11. This year's Learning Exchange, themed "What's Next", will feature five different speakers delivering a TED-style talk lasting no more than 12 minutes each on trends impacting our communities such as housing, impact investing, technology, and clean energy. The Learning Exchange's main goal is to provide frameworks/ideas the statewide audience can easily digest and apply to their unique communities. These ideas tend to challenge conventional thinking, offer tools and resources, and bring innovative perspectives to Virginia's communities.
BankPlus and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas presented a check for $8,000 to Lauderdale County Habitat for Humanity to create a marketing plan and website. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that provides housing for low-income working families. The agency has put 78 families in homes over the last 30 years in Lauderdale County. The organization does not have a website, but uses Facebook and Instagram to connect with the community. The website will be used to promote the organization, to collect donations and as a place for volunteers to sign up.
AB 857, which creates a legal pathway in California for public banks owned by city and county governments where cities and counties would deposit public dollars, was recently passed by the California Assembly. The governor has until October 13 to sign it into law. Progress on public banks in California will be closely watched in other states and cities where organizers and public officials have been pushing for public banks — including Washington State, New Mexico, Michigan, New Jersey, the District of Columbia, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, the Twin Cities, Portland, Seattle, and elsewhere. Inspired by the state-owned Bank of North Dakota (until recently the only public bank operating in the U.S.), proponents of AB 857 envision a statewide network of public banks that would leverage local public deposits in support of public policy priorities like affordable housing and homeownership, clean energy and climate adaptation, small business lending, alternatives to payday loans, and other priorities that public banking advocates feel are too important to leave entirely up to privately owned banks.
The New York Fed unveiled a new tool—the Credit Insecurity Index—to provide policymakers and the broader public with a more comprehensive measure of credit access and community credit health. Unlike other metrics that focus on residents without a credit file or score, the Credit Insecurity Index also includes individuals who may have credit files but are limited in their ability to borrow at affordable terms due to blemishes on their records. A new series of reports—Unequal Access to Credit: The Hidden Impact of Credit Constraints—offers in-depth analysis using the new index, including potential policy applications.
JPMorgan Chase announced Tuesday a $25 million commitment to the Financial Health Network's Financial Solutions Lab, a program meant to focus on the creation of fintech tools to help consumers better manage their finances.The Financial Health Network (formerly the Center for Financial Services Innovation) previously received a $30 million philanthropic donation from the bank that spanned the last five years. JPMorgan also unveiled a new branch in the Harlem section of New York City that will feature a digital innovation lab. It will test new ways to use digital channels to rapidly assist customers with their needs.
On Wednesday, September 18, 2019, the U.S. Treasury Department announced $25.2 million in Bank Enterprise Awards (BEA) by the US Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund. 38 banks certified as CDFIs received awards for their efforts to channel $19.4 million of deposits into 18 CDFI credit unions to support their lending in distressed communities. In 2016, the Community Development Bankers Association and Inclusiv began working together to play matchmaker between CDFI banks participating in the BEA Program and CDFI credit unions. While traditional banks and credit unions wage fierce battles over market share, tax status, and a host of regulatory issues, CDFI banks and CDFI credit unions work together to combat poverty.

Iraq's federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have squabbled over oil revenue and resources for years, and they are still not cooperating. As Iraq's oil production continues to increase, the OPEC member is adding more oil to a market that has already overcompensated for sanctions on Iran. Going forward, Iraq's increased production will give Saudi Arabia more reason to push for another global cut in production.
What Happened
Rising supply has caused oil prices to plunge in the past seven weeks. And thanks to Iraq, that growth in supply will not let up. On Nov. 16, a temporary deal between Iraq's federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) enabled the export of oil from the disputed province of Kirkuk through the Kurdistan-Turkey pipeline for the first time since June 2017. For now, the amount of oil is about 50,000 barrels per day (bpd), but the deal aims to boost it to 100,000 bpd. However, if Kirkuk's export levels return to normal, then 200,000 to 400,000 barrels of Iraqi oil could make its way to export markets each day.
Baghdad's new deal comes after oil prices have taken a beating. Brent crude peaked above $86 per barrel in early October, but the price has since fallen to below $70 per barrel after the U.S. decision to issue waivers for many countries to continue purchasing Iranian oil. Moreover, U.S. pressure on Saudi Arabia has caused Riyadh to increase its output. These developments have prompted OPEC and non-OPEC countries — which cut production in 2017 to fend off low oil prices — to discuss cutting output yet again.
Saudi Arabia has realized that it may have jumped the gun in increasing production before U.S. sanctions on Iran took effect, and now it must correct course. On Nov. 11, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said his country would reduce exports by 500,000 bpd, and the next day he said a global production cut of 1 million bpd would be needed. The more Iraqi oil that Arbil's agreement with Baghdad brings on line, the more pressure will mount for that production cut to be higher — and for Baghdad itself to make greater cuts. As the market fluctuates, businesses and individuals should watch the next OPEC meeting in Vienna on Dec. 6 for signs of a cut.
Why It Matters
Despite the increasing oil flow, many of the underlying issues between Iraq's federal government and the KRG remain unresolved. Because of this, another disruption is possible down the road unless the two sides can agree on who is granted ownership of the oil produced in Iraq's Kurdistan region under the country's 2005 constitution.
Before 2014, Baghdad had tremendous leverage over the KRG because, unlike Arbil, the federal government controlled its own pipeline, as well as Kurdish access to it. However, the Islamic State destroyed the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline in 2014, the same year Arbil completed its own pipeline to Turkey that bypassed Baghdad's. Since then, the KRG has had the upper hand, and its pipeline has given it the freedom to export oil through Turkey without Baghdad's interference (as long as the KRG is in Turkey's good graces). Iraq's government is hoping to rebuild the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline now that the Islamic State has been dislodged from Mosul and northern Iraq, but Baghdad's leverage over the Kurdish energy sector is limited as long as the KRG maintains is relations with Turkey and its control over the country's oil infrastructure.

Yes, there still really are Nazis and yes they still are conducting ethnic cleansing against the innocent people of east Ukraine while the US media cover's it up.
Proof of Ukrainian President Poroshenko and the US financing Nazis. Background and verifiable proof of the use of nazi symbolism by the Right Sector National Guard coup Ukrainian army. The SS-Verfügungstruppe (SS-VT) (English: SS Dispositional Troops) was formed in 1934 as combat troops for the NSDAP. By 1940 these military SS units had become the nucleus of the Waffen-SS.
The following video of the Right Sector 'Azov' Battalion induction ceremony was filmed and posted by Poroshenkos very own 'Chanel 5' TV station on June 3rd, 2014, one week after his ascension to the position of President of Ukraine.
From Wikipedia:
17 August 1938 Adolf Hitler decreed that the SS-VT was neither a part of the police nor the German Wehrmacht, but military-trained men at the disposal of the Führer in war or peace. The men were to be trained in accordance with the rules of the SS and manned by volunteers who had completed their service in the Reichsarbeitsdienst (or RAD, Reich Labour Service).
Additional use of the symbol by Ukrainian extremists and members of the current Kiev government. In this video which features tens of thousands of Ukrainian pro nazi far right nationalists conducting ritual parade ceremonies and violence across west Ukraine we see multiple uses of the Waffen SS Verfugungstruppe symbol alongside the red and black flag of Stephen Bandera (the WW2 nazi collaborator who oversaw the deaths of 80,000 Jews and Poles) and the yellow and blue Ukrainian flag.
This video features Oleg Tanybuk, the leader of Svoboda who met with John McCain and Victoria Nuland in the early stages of Maidan. He is now a minister in the current Kiev coup imposed government. Notice the flags.
Meeting with McCain:
Please read Oleg Tanybuk's Wikipedia page. He wants to re-establish Ukraine as a nuclear power. Imagine Nazis with nukes in the heart of Europe.
Below is one of the Right Sector ( 'National Guard' ) leaders. His name is Mykola Bondar. It's hard to look any more 'Hitleresque' than this man. He is incredibly scary to look at. In late June he called for a resumption of war and the complete annihilation of the people of east Ukraine.
This is another Right Sector leader Oleg Lyashko filmed (by his own crew) only a few days ago in Slavyansk bringing democracy and freedom. He threatens to throw the representative from the window if he doesn't resign and sign off on having committed crimes against the coup government.
Here he is showing the new version of Ukrainian justice to a captive prisoner. He promises imprisonment and death to a 62 year old man.
Now please pay close attention folks.
This is the genocide they are conducting against the innocent people of east Ukraine. Women and children in the east are dying at their hands. It is not the other way round.
The US has financed this and the US media has covered it up. It has been a massive cover up from the get go. The American people are being lied to. Thousands of people are being killed and we are looking the other way. The propaganda we have been fed by the US media about Putin has led to the people of the US being completely unaware (except for a small group) that this killing is taking place. It is ethnic cleansing and it is disgusting. They are killing men, women and children across the country. They indiscrimiately bombed cities full of civilians for two months. They have used cluster and incendiary munitions on their own people. The US has backed this nazi regime. The evidence is clear to those that can take off their anti-Russia blinders. I know the US government would rather have you keep them on, but I deplore you to think deeply and ask yourself….is this what the United States is supposed to represent? Is your desire to back any political party stronger than your desire to preserve humanity and what the US is supposed to truly represent. We have lost our way. It is coming out. Please help stop this madness before more innocent people die. The left has been silent and that speaks volumes. It is time to speak out against this madness.
In The Nation magazine, US Russian scholar professor Stephen Cohen (husband of Kristina Van den heuvel) wrote an article about the topic on June 30th .
The regime has repeatedly carried out artillery and air attacks on city centers, creating a humanitarian catastrophe—which is all but ignored by the US political-media establishment.
For weeks, the US-backed regime in Kiev has been committing atrocities against its own citizens in southeastern Ukraine, regions heavily populated by Russian-speaking Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. While victimizing a growing number of innocent people, including children, and degrading America's reputation, these military assaults on cities, captured on video, are generating pressure in Russia on President Vladimir Putin to 'save our compatriots.' Both the atrocities and the pressure on Putin have increased even more since July 1, when Kiev, after a brief cease-fire, intensified its artillery and air attacks on eastern cities defenseless against such weapons.
The reaction of the Obama administration—as well as the new cold-war hawks in Congress and in the establishment media—has been twofold: silence interrupted only by occasional statements excusing and thus encouraging more atrocities by Kiev.
In conclusion, here is a 45 minute compiled video of evidence of atrocities conducted by the new Ukrainian army against innocent civilians. Many of these victims were women and children. The indiscriminate shelling of Slavyansk over a 45 day period is estimated to have taken over 200 lives alone, at least 5 of which were children. A large portion of this extremely graphic video was filmed by the new coup Ukrainian army themselves. It includes the dumping of corpses and many scenes of death and destruction. Graphic warning:
Please help wake up people. The coup army drove 500 miles to the east to conduct these atrocities. The people of the east did not invade the west. The separatists are defending their families and way of life. There are 7.5 million ethnic Russians in the east. They should have never been labeled terrorists. They are the good guys. They are the sons and fathers of the women and children of east Ukraine. The people who have fled to Russia as refugees. Please quit kidding yourself. The media has lied to you and continues to cover it up. Innocent people are dying and being tortured and kidnapped. Please help stop this madness. Peace.
I was just banned at Democratic Underground for posting this evidence.

Help! Tried to Duel Boot Hackintosh and can't get back to Windows because I messed up the boot drives with Clover!By jrbros1
Hi there,
So I have my Windows computer, used a USB with Clover setup to boot into Mojave OS that I installed on the SD card in the computer. The world was a great place and all was well!
Then I did the steps to partition the pc system to now include the additional drive that I would put Clover on. Here's where I messed up: Instead of directly copying over the full Clover folder into the EFI folder of the new drive (which just had the Boot & Microsoft folders in it), I replaced the EFI's boot folder with Clover's boot folder. So the EFI folder now contains a Microsoft folder, a Clover folder, and Clover's Boot folder only.
Now, I only can access the Clover boot up menu, the macOS, but no Windows at all. Even if I go into BIOS and pick Windows Boot Manager or Partition 1 for the start up, I get a black screen for both. I can still access the macOS as well as Shell, but I don't know what that does other than displaying all of the yellow text fly by..
Is there a kind soul out there that can help me get Windows back to boot? Keep in mind I'm a bit of a newbie here so laying out the common-sense steps would be helpful!
Thank you in advance!

[ASK] what did clover ATI Framebuffer data patch actually do? and why some of the framebuffer doesn't exist in the binary file?By pink101
So, here's what i think clover do when it patch ati framebuffer, first it read a cached kext, then it search the original hex value of the connector, then it changed the value with the new one. Is it correct? now, here's what i find confusing... let's say that i want to patch AMD7000Controller.kext, in that kext, i want to patch "AJI" framebuffer with a new value, so clover try to find the hex value of "AJI" connector then replace it with the new one, simple right? but when i search the AMD7000Controller binary file for other framebuffer, some of them didn't exist in the binary, for example, i tried to patch "Ramen" framebuffer, from various source, it said that:
Ramen (6) @ 0xeba70 LVDS, HDMI, DP, DP, DP, DP 020000000001000039050108000000002001050600000000 000800000402000000010200000000001000030500000000 000400000403000000010343000000001102010100000000 000400000001000000010431000000002103040300000000 000400000403000000010563000000001204020200000000 000400000001000000010651000000002205040300000000 So i open a hex editor and search for:
020000000001000039050108000000002001050600000000000800000402000000010200000000001000030500000000000400000403000000010343000000001102010100000000000400000001000000010431000000002103040300000000000400000403000000010563000000001204020200000000000400000001000000010651000000002205040300000000 but, it turns out that hex editor couldnt find that hex value in AMD7000Controller,
most of the framebuffer exist in the AMD7000Controller, but some doesnt, If this is the case, then, where does clover find the original framebuffer to be patched? am i missing something?

About the Ethnic Groups of China
The Chinese nation has a long history. Since ancient times, the ancestors of the Chinese people of all nationalities have worked, lived and multiplied on our motherland, and jointly contributed their talents to the Chinese civilization and the establishment of a unified, multi-ethnic country.
The vast and rich land of the motherland is jointly developed by the people of all ethnic groups in China. From Xia, Shang, Zhou to Qin and Han Dynasties, when the Han's ancestors, Huaxia people, developed the Yellow River Basin, the ancestors of various ethnic minorities also developed the surrounding areas. The ethnic groups living in Donghu, Sushen, Yilou, Fuyu and Wuhuan in the northeast of China are in the vast areas of the present three northeast provinces. The ethnic groups of Xianyun, Di, Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north of China are in the present Mongolian grassland, the northern part of North China and some areas in the northwest of China. The ethnic groups of "Chengguo Country" such as Qiuzi, Yutan and Shanshan in the western region are in the present Xinjiang region, the northwest of China. The Rong, Qiang and Di ethnic groups live in the present Tibetan and Qinghai regions. The Miao, Pu, Wulingman, Changshaman and Baiyue ethnic groups in the South live in the southeastern part of the Yangtze River valley. The ancestors of Li and Gaoshan ethnic groups live in Hainan Island and Taiwan respectively. One branch of the Yue ethnic groups now live in Hong Kong and Macao. With hard work of all nationalities, laid the foundation for the establishment of a unified multi-ethnic country.
The English translation is based the original Chinese contents extracted from the website of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission of the People's Republic of China: http://www.seac.gov.cn/

Replace Blow Up Gorillas to Drive More Sales
The automobile industry has historically used traditional marketing methods such as TV advertising, print or blow up gorillas on rooftops. However, in the current digital age, auto brands cannot afford to invest in traditional marketing alone, it has to go digital too.
Dealers can take advantage of the billions of people using social media and convince them to buy a Ford, Toyota, or BMW. Instagram is an excellent platform for car dealers to increase follower count, enhance dealership awareness, create engagement, and generate sales and leads.
Social media platforms are free. User-generated content is free. And it's all more impressionable than a gorilla or whacky wavey inflatable dancing around at your dealership.
Attract your customers using digital marketing. People love cars on Instagram and dealers can take advantage of the over 800 million users to sell more cars. Here are five tips on how to use Instagram to sell more cars:
1. Instagram stories
Stories are becoming popular on social media platforms ranging from Snapchat to Instagram and Facebook. Each day, over 300 million people view stories on Instagram. Instagram stories offer an avenue to connect with fans and make sales pitches at a personal level. Car dealers should keep stories short, unique, and consistent. They should also get the dealership employees to amplify stories on their social channels.
2. Visual Stimulation
Instagram is a visual-driven platform. A photo that fairs well in Facebook and Twitter may not garner the same attention on Instagram. The secret to drawing attention on Instagram is to post quality and appealing pictures. Cars have an enormous following on Instagram; use it to your advantage.
Post inspiring photos of the interiors and exteriors of your vehicles. Add a little curb appeal in your picture by including employees and engaged customers with big smiles. You can hire a professional photographer to take incredible images.
3. #Hashtagit
Hashtags are simple but effective marketing tools on Instagram. Research shows that posts with hashtags fair 12 times more than posts without hashtags. Hashtags optimize the discovery of your content. A well-crafted hashtag will help your dealership create relations and cultivate sales.
Your hashtags should be relevant to your location, brand, and objective of your post. However, take caution not to overuse the hashtag idea. You can use college interns to help develop the right hashtags that will appeal to millennials and other people.
4. Use Video
Video marketing is gradually taking over social media marketing, and Instagram is no different. Instagram is a visual network and anything visual appeals to users including videos. 52% of Instagram users view auto videos to determine the performance and driveability of the vehicle.
Cure their curiosity by uploading a video to showcase the features and capabilities of your latest car model in the dealership. Also, your videos can capture customer testimonials, customers enjoying test drives, and even your service technicians at work.
5. Excel with Instagram Ads
Instagram ads are a great way to market your cars and drive sales. You can use Instagram ads to convert leads. You choose between photo ads, video ads, and carousel ads depending on the objective of your ad.
Instagram users are always scrolling, and they will only stop when they see something catchy and exciting. Your ad should be fresh, stunning, and appealing.
Cars on Instagram have a big following. People love car pictures and videos. It's not reserved for the car enthusiast. The other day I caught my mother drooling over a Corvette picture on Instagram! She liked the color – bright red and long sleek design. Instagram hooked her! She wanted one.
But I'm worried. My mother grew up in New York City where stop signs and lights are an inconvenience – no offense to my New York friends. She has a led foot and will haphazardly screech around streets with her silver hair flowing out the sunroof. It's an unsettling visual. Thank you, Instagram!
I've digressed.
Instagram is the ideal platform for automotive content. You can infuse Instagram with gorgeous car pictures, interactive content, and amazing videos to create brand awareness, promote engagement, and drive sales.
Your car dealership cannot afford to miss out on this fast-growing platform and mostly untapped market; sell your cars using Instagram's visual appeal. And should you see my Mom trying to buy a Corvette, send her home!

2005. The father watches his new baby sleep, marveling at his perfect little face, his fat little fingers, the way he sucks on his pacifier automatically. He feels pure love, never suspecting that this fresh miracle of an infant will, in 11 years, write him this poem for Father's Day:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your farts stink
And you know it, too.
Happy Father's Day!

The Geometry of the Sephirotic Tree –
God is the plenitude, the abundance of the Sephiroth, that is, the science, the understanding and penetration of Hod; the fragrance, colours, beauty and celestial charm of Netzach; the light and splendour of Tiphareth; the power and triumphant victory over inner and outer enemies of Geburah; the protection, justice, kindness and generosity of Chesed; the steadfastness and perseverance, the knowledge of Karma and destiny, of Binah; the eternal wisdom and beautiful harmony of Chokmah; the omnipotence of Kether.
The Sephiroth Yesod is the foundation
Yesod is called the foundation because of its purity which condenses and synthesises the virtues and acquisitions of all the Sephiroth. Yesod is the pure life. You must decide to put purity first in your life, ahead of knowledge, wealth or power, it must be the basis for your existence.
Today people are very knowledgeable and intelligent and learned, but they are not concerned with purity (what good does it do?) they are preoccupied with any number of things but because they lead impure lives, they fall ill or lose everything they possess… because the foundation was not solid. Yes, the foundation is the most important of all, dear brothers and sisters.
Through Yesod all the qualities and virtues will materialise in Malkuth, the physical plane
Once we understand that and do all we can to acquire purity, then through the intermediary of Yesod, the qualities and virtues of all the Sephiroth will concretize and materialize themselves in Malkuth, the physical plane. There have been saints in the past who had no learning at all but worked exclusively on purity: all the other qualities including wisdom and clairvoyance and the power to heal came and manifested through them because there were no opaque layers, no thick screens to keep heaven from entering.
Purity brings health, knowledge, power, and joy. You don't know why, but you are full of joy! Forget everything else if you wish, but remember the fact that purity is the basis for all the other acquisitions. The quintessence of the science of all the great founders of religion is the pure life.

"You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your friends."
I had the pleasure of meeting Jack from Random Thoughts the other night. We met at a neighborhood diner and the food was good and the waitress knew Jack (I guess that is no surprise to readers of Random Thoughts).
We talked naturally as if we knew each other for years. Well, I guess we have -- Jack started blogging in May 2004 and Toner Mishap burst onto the scene in October 2004. While we had not met previously, we did exchange e-mails and a couple of hair-raising stories.
Jack certainly is more of a misanthrope than he lets on, but by William Hazlitt's definition. "To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue." And, anyone with half a brain realizes that society, as a whole needs help. I am more than a decade older than Jack, but he seems to know well there is a burden that comes with wisdom.
We talked for nearly two hours that went by very quickly (at least for me and I didn't notice any obvious signs of distress from Jack). It was a nice evening and I do hope we can do it again soon.
I have now met the bloggers of Bitch Ph.D, Sporks for All, Neurotranscendence, and Through the Looking Glass. I have been very impressed by the talent and intelligence of each and everyone of these bloggers.

The broken hot water pipe deep inside the ground makes this part of St. Petersburg look like the scene from the Silent Hill movie. Anyway it seems that this occurrence don't make people scared. They got used to such troubles.
And there was "Silent Hill" style effect in this city once before. Almost a year ago.

The Merlin Hawk
by Richard L. Provencher
4/09/2011 / Poetry
is a scuffle of feathers
worn from journey's daylight
through morning mist, past
sleeping sheep
above a few mules, she
drove against
the wind.
Exhausted wings drew
her to the sound of early chirps.
Red Polls, Sparrows, Finches
even tattoos from a
Hairy Woodpecker caught
her attention
a snack or two presenting
itself. Then decides,
without fanfare nor
nasty intentions,
releases to other spaces.

Dr Roper was on duty at Weatherfield General when Tyrone Dobbs was brought in by ambulance. He had fallen through an unsafe ceiling at 9 Coronation Street when thin plasterboards had been unwittingly fitted by Jason Grimshaw. The Doctor told an anxious Fiz Stape that x-rays has been done on her partner which showed he had a broken wrist which needed to be operated on, two broken ribs and lung contusions but aside from that he was a lucky man considering the fall he had had.
The next day, he visited Tyrone before his operation and stopped Fiz giving him a drink of water as he was "nil by mouth". Fiz was nervous that it was too early for him to have the operation considering the other pain he was but the patient himself was eager to get it all done so he could get back to work straight away. He was therefore devastated when told by Dr Roper that he would be out of action for at least eight weeks.

Last week's Emmy nominations are so chock full of science fiction, fantasy, and horror shows that even the most ardent fans are almost satisfied. (Because, hey,
they we can never be happy no matter what, right?)
It's so obvious that even the very earthbound Los Angeles Times has noticed. Will genre-love be the wave of television's future?
by Meredith Blake
Amid the usual cries of snub that followed Thursday's Emmys nominations announcement — where was "Empire" or "Jane the Virgin"? — were some audible sighs of relief. Finally, Tatiana Maslany had been nominated for her virtuoso performance on "Orphan Black," a possibility most fans and even the most optimistic prognosticators had written off after back-to-back snubs by the TV Academy.
In the inventive drama about a streetwise young woman who discovers she's the result of a top-secret cloning experiment, Maslany plays something like 10 different characters (depending on how you count), each with wildly different accents, mannerisms and personalities. Though she's assisted by a fantastic wig collection, Maslany gives the kind of obviously dazzling performance you'd think even stodgy Emmy voters could understand.
So what took them so long to come around? Though it eludes easy categorization, "Orphan Black" is, at least broadly speaking, science fiction, a genre that tends to attract rabid fans but little awards recognition. The list of sc-fi, fantasy and horror shows slighted by the TV Academy includes "Battlestar Galactica" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"; even "The X Files," though honored for its writing and acting, never won the series crown.
"Game of Thrones" is consistently one of the most-nominated series at the Emmys, but its wins — outside of an Emmy for supporting actor Peter Dinklage in 2011 — have largely been relegated to technical categories, an outcome consistent with the academy's "cool costumes, but we'll never take you seriously" attitude to anything with a whiff of geekery about it. And even though unlike many of its drama rivals, it's both a huge ratings hit and — until this season, anyway — a critical darling, "Game of Thrones" has never taken the series title.

Vivo V11 Specifications
Android 8.1 Oreo running Vivo V11 comes with a dual-SIM support and features a 6.3-inch full-HD+ (1080×2340) Super AMOLED display with 19:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, there is a Mediatek Helio P60 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM.
At the backside, there is a dual camera setup in a vertical module with a 16-megapixel sensor and a 5-megapixel sensor, while on the front we get a 25-megapixel sensor for selfies. For security, there is a fingerprint sensor at the backside of the handset.
The camera comes with features such as backlight HDR, low-light mode, scene recognition mode, AI face shaping technology, and AI portrait-framing features. There is a 3,315mAh battery enabled with 18W quick-charging support.
The Vivo V11 houses standard connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0 and USB Type-C port. It is priced in India at Rs. 22,990 and will be available online and offline from September 27 onwards.
