It's a bit of a dilemma for many women – ride in bib-shorts or ride in regular shorts? For more experienced female mountain bikers, it's bib-shorts all the way. They stay in place better (less chance of chafing), are more comfortable and more flattering (no waistline bumps). But some of them can be a challenge if you need the loo in a hurry.
We got one of our female testers to wear four different brands of locally available ladies bib-shorts over the past few months. She rides on average five days a week (two indoor sessions and three on the trails) and has done some stage races, so is very in tune with clothing comfort. She's not a hardcore race snake, so understands the challenges most women face in terms of comfort and styling of clothing.
Model: W ELITE DROP TAIL CYCLING BIB
First impression: High quality design and the Lycra looks like expensive quality.
My favourite features: Really snug fit, with no chance of the pad moving around with a drop flap for easy visits to the loo. The straps and clasp are really comfortable with no itching or skin irritation.
My not so favourite features: The elastic on the legs is very thin and not 100% comfortable. On a personal note the leg length was on the longer side, which some ladies love, but I don't.
Sizes: XS – XL
Price: R1499
Overall: A really great bib short, not even a hint of discomfort in the saddle area on my longest ride ever. Would recommend for any rider on any ride.
Website: Pearl Izumi and Coolheat
Model: NECTAR PROXISION BIB Short
First Impression: Soft, feminine look without being cliche.
My favourite features: The criss-cross back straps are super soft and comfortable and made from perforated material straps with broad elastic on the legs. The shorter leg length (personal preference).
My not so favourite features: The quality of the material is not the best and I did have some stitching catch and fray.
Even though I quite liked the pink and turquoise colouring on the one leg elastic, it can be limiting for those who want to match their riding kit. Additionally you do need to take your riding jersey off to go to the loo.
Sizes: XS – XXXL
Price: R1699
Overall: An easy to wear, comfortable pair of bibs. Recommended for short-to-medium time (up to 3 hours) in the saddle and for the recreational to semi-serious rider.
Website: Enjoy Fitness
Model: Elite Women Bib Short
First Impression: Nice packaging and quality Lycra. There is something cool about opening a box with your clothes in it.
My favourite features: The shorter leg length, the thicker elastic on the legs and the comfortable chamois comparable to some of the more expensive brands.
My not so favourite features: I am finding the difference in size between the M and the L an issue. I know this is probably more due to my body shape than the shorts, but it's still an issue. I found the M to tight and L a fraction on the loose side.
The v-style strap that comes up between the boobs and then splits over the shoulders, sometimes feeling a little tight around my neck. Also you need to take your shirt off to go to the loo.
Sizes: XS -XL
Price: R975.00
Overall: Even though I haven't ridden longer than 3 hours in them, I won't hesitate to wear them for 4 to 5 hours. Very impressed and recommended for any ride and rider. Seriously good value for money.
Website: Crankit
Model: Corsa Ladies Bib Short
First Impression: The sizing is very flattering and true to form across the sizing curve.
My favourite features: The zip in the back really makes the fit snug and super comfortable. The leg length is spot on for my shape. I also prefer the oversized elastic at the bottom of the Lycra on the legs.
My not so favourite features: I do feel like the thick elastic straps could use a clip either in the front or the back, as they did tend to slip off my shoulders.
Sizes: XS – XL
Price: R1499.99
Overall: A really comfortable bib although the straps could do with a little more thought for a better fit. Overall though a practical, quality bib short that ticked all the right boxes.
Recommended for any ride and rider.

In general, most orthopaedic specialist can handle a straight forward joint replacement surgery. A complex joint replacement include cases where there is severe deformities, very limited motion or the primary surgery has gone wrong (due to aseptic loosening, poor alignmet or infection).
As modern medicine improves the lifespan for males and females, patients with previous surgeries and implants who need a joint replacement surgery become very challenging as conventional techniques cannot be used.
Dr Chin Pak Lin had been the key person in handling complex and revision joint replacement surgeries formerly at SGH.
Elbow joint arthritis is a disorder characterised by pain and stiffness. It can be caused by injury or overuse. The cartilage in the joint is worn out and extra bone spurs and loose bodies start to form. Treatment involves medication, physiotherapy, arthroscopic washout and joint replacement. Joint replacement involves removing the worn out joint surfaces and replacing them with metal and plastic components. After an elbow joint replacement, patient will experience greater range of motion and less pain, improving the overall function of the shoulder.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is caused by inflammation of the tendon origin on the outer aspect of the elbow. This condition may not be caused by playing tennis. Frequent repetitive movement and heavy lifting can also cause tennis elbow pain to occur. Treatment usually involves rest and physiotherapy. However, some patients may need further tennis elbow treatment like injection of PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection or surgical release.
Elbow arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) is a specialised procedure. One of the commonest indications for elbow arthroscopy is arthritis with loose bodies "jamming" the joint and causing a painful locking sensation. The procedure removes the loose bodies, extra bone spurs and tight capsule to achieve greater range of motion and substantial pain relief. The advantages of keyhole surgery includes less pain, faster recovery and nicer cosmetic result.

Platelet reactivity is a stable and global phenomenon in aspirin-treated cardiovascular patients
|Published in
|Thrombosis and Haemostasis. 2011, vol. 106, no. 3, p. 466-74
|In healthy subjects, platelet hyperreactivity is a global phenomenon--as opposed to agonist-specific--and epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation (EPA) is a reliable marker of this phenotype. Few data are available on platelet reactivity and the relationship between EPA and aggregation induced by other agonists in cardiovascular patients. It was the objective of this study to characterise platelet reactivity in stable cardiovascular patients treated with aspirin and to derive a composite index integrating several aggregation pathways, suitable for selecting patients with extreme phenotypes for further proteomics analysis. Platelet reactivity to agonists was assessed in 110 patients twice, two weeks apart. Factorial analysis was used to determine whether the results obtained with the different agonists could be summarised in a single composite index. EPA correlated with the aggregation values obtained with each of the other agonists, with correlation coefficients of 0.44 to 0.55 (p < 0.001). We constructed a composite "platelet reactivity" index that included 60% of the information provided by each agonist. The results obtained at the first patient visit were consistent with those obtained at the second visit (r = 0.78, p<0.01). No clinical or biological parameters correlated with the composite index. The extreme phenotypes of six selected subjects were confirmed 12 months after the second visit. In conclusion, platelet reactivity in aspirin-treated cardiovascular patients is a global phenomenon that can be summarised by a composite index based on the aggregation responses to various agonists and integrating several activation pathways. This index is not dependent on clinical or biological variables, suggesting that genetic factors regulate platelet reactivity in these patients.

The Tauranga Home Show announces the winner of its huge $25,000 prize from the 2019 show.
Over 13,000 people visited the huge 20th anniversary celebration Tauranga Home Show took place no the 3rd, 4th & 5th of May at Trustpower Arena Baypark in Mount Maunganui, browsing over 250 exhibitors and enjoying live music, the live cooking theatre, food trucks and children's entertainment.
A highlight of the show was the huge door prize worth over $25,000, including an Arc Series 1 Spa from The Spa Family, a three piece La-Z-Boy recliner lounge suite from Smiths City Tauranga, and $5,000 to spend with House of Travel.
High-tech luxury Arc Series 1 Spa
worth $15,999!
La-Z-Boy recliner 3 piece lounge suite
worth $5,699!
$5,000 travel voucher to spend at House of Travel
Bay Events, organisers of the Tauranga Home Show, proudly announce that Tania Sisson from Otumoetai is the lucky winner of this amazing prize.
Tania's husband wanted to whip around the show and bypass filling in his entry form, but Tania paused to complete hers. "I told him, I'm not going to fill yours in for you! But I'll do mine." This wise decision led to an excited Tania visiting Smiths City on the 16th of May to meet with the prizegivers and claim her winnings.
"It doesn't feel like it's me, it really hasn't sunk in yet," says Tania. She met with Dana McCurdy and Raewyn Martin from Bay Events, Mark Seerden from Smiths City Tauranga, and Wendy Harrison from House of Travel The Crossing to be presented with her prize (Scott Brumby from The Spa Family was unable to attend).
In the midst of getting plans drawn up for a full home renovation, Tania will be ensuring her new deck area accommodates her luxurious new Arc spa pool. Tania is also planning on using her House of Travel prize-winnings to attend an overseas family reunion at Christmas, tacking a relaxing holiday on at the end.

Growing Community College Transfer by Removing Barriers to Enrollment
In an environment of increasing competition for first-time full-time students, institutions are turning to community college transfer students in order to diversity undergraduate enrollments and stabilize tuition revenues. Unfortunately, conventional transfer recruitment, application, and admission processes fail to address community college students' leading concerns as they consider the four-year option. As a result, four-year colleges […]
Next-Generation Transfer Recruitment

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Listen: You need this record. This is eleven songs of powerful, bombastic, vital rock from "should-have-been" heroes from the Northwest that were in other bands you probably don't know. Touchstones include the Hot Snakes, Superchunk, and the Thermals. Real Size Monster Series embodies the best of indie rock, post-punk, and modern rock in one package. It is sardonic without being directionless, clever without being ironic. It is full of life and a perfectly conceived vision of a band at its creative peak.
Most of the songs deal with the inevitable battle between real life and creative vision. In the song "Bob Stinson Will Have His Revenge on Ferndale," bass player Chris Rasmussen sings: Remember that spreadsheet that you wrote up?/Way back in 1993, nobody ever says "that changed my life," nobody ever says "that inspired me." He tells the tale, line by line, of the horrible catch-22 of being an independent band without resources or means in the modern age, but still hungry for things beyond cubicle life and the slow death of modern ennui. "Psychedelic Vasectomy" takes on the issue of fatherhood versus art. Door #1 is a deadbeat dad, door #2 is a bitter old man and Stand by your man is just a song, summing up the dilemma in three minutes over riffs the Wipers would be proud of.
This is music for people that are absolutely and legitimately jaded, and have every right to just give up, but take a deep breath and soldier on anyway, because that's what you do. We may not all get to be astronauts, when we grow up; however, Police Teeth is on to something magnificent.

Time to drift and slalom through the snow in your MINI and have a fun (and legal) time doing it!!! We are proudly sponsoring the Winter Driving Refresher education event on February 12 at BeaveRun. The driving education event will help teach drivers how to improve their driving skills in slick conditions.
The event will be held on February 12 from 8am-3pm at the BeaveRun MotorSports Complex. The event gives drivers the opportunity to learn driving in slick and extreme winter weather in a safe and controlled environment rather than on public roads. No reason to go to your local public parking lot and worry about getting caught spinning around in the snow!
The cost to attend is a mere $5 for primary drivers and $5 for any co-drivers. The cost of the event includes all of the training and fun driving as well as a Subway Box Lunch. The event will include classroom instruction by instructors detailing winter driving techniques, equipment to use, and even winter survival skills. Instructors will be in driver's vehicles giving one-on-one instruction as owners travel through the slalom, skidpad braking, and coned-autocross courses.
All MINI and non-MINI vehicles are welcome to attend the event. The event will be a go no matter what conditions are present on the day, snow, rain, sleet, or a sunny and beautiful February day. The course can be tuned to imitate slick conditions so weather is not an issue.
To register for the event, visit www.pittstopmini.org.

Today in Class: Of Fame & Signatures
(Side note: to all my new awesome readers, I teach 10th grade world literature.)
Kid 1: Mrs. Revis, why does everyone keep congratulating you?
Me: I got a book deal! My book is going to be published!
Kid 1: Like, for real?
Me: Like, for real.
Kid 2: Are you going to be famous?
Me: Nah, I--
Kid 1: I'm going to keep the hall pass she signed!
Kid 2: I'm going to keep the chill-out form she signed!
(chill out = in school suspension)
Kid 1: We can sell them on e-bay!
Me: I don't think it works like that...

On 17 September 2012, the draft report on the proposal for the Modernised Customs Code (MCC) Recast Regulation was presented by Rapporteur Le Grip to the European Parliament's (EP's) Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) Committee (i.e. the lead committee in this matter). The draft report will now be subject to further discussion in the IMCO Committee, where a vote is scheduled for 29 November 2012. The vote in the EP's plenary session is currently scheduled to take place in April 2013.
An Article-by-Article reading of the MCC recast proposal in the Council's Working party (WP) on the Customs Union continued in August and September. The Cypriot Council Presidency is expected to produce a compromise text later this Autumn for consideration by the Member States' experts.

This was the headline: "Fox adopting YouTube's Six Second Ad Format." "This is the first time that a broadcast television company has committed to the ad format, which YouTube introduced last year," the companies said. That means Fox TV will be airing six second spots across its platforms, including linear television. And don't think that this trend will stop there, folks. At my hivio event last year I presented research which explicitly tested what consumers - listeners - wanted to hear from ad-supported audio platforms (you can watch the whole presentation here).

hivio 2016 – How Pandora is Changing Audio Advertising
Lizzie Widhelm is Pandora's Senior Vice President of Ad Product Sales & Strategy where she spearheads the team that brings advertising products to life and to market.

Oh No! Listeners Switch Stations! It's the End of the World!
So people are freaking out about the new Edison data indicating that consumers – that's you and me – switch stations 22 times in an average commute. …unless you're my beautiful wife, in which case you switch stations 2200 times in an average commute. Is that number (the 22) shocking? I don't know why. Anybody who has ever been in a car has seen this firsthand. I know we want to imagine that no advertiser will ever figure this out, but hey, advertisers know this already. They have fingers and buttons and the same impossibly short attention span the rest of us have. Yes, it's easy, it's … [Read more...]

This is how Pandora has Changed Audio Advertising
Pandora is changing more than the way folks consume radio - it's changing the way agencies view audio advertising. This was at the center of my conversation with Pandora VP Audio Sales Doug Sterne at the hivio audio future festival in San Diego in June, 2014. Among the questions Doug answers: What impact has online radio in general -- and Pandora in particular -- had on audio as a force among agencies? For online radio, audio is more than just audio. What creative opportunities has online radio opened up for agencies and their clients? Mobile is obviously the direction all … [Read more...]

Vitamin Injections
Why THIN-LIPO, B-6, or B-12 Complex?
A lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver. Lipotropic nutrients are a class of agents that plays an important role in the body's use of fat. They enhance the liver and gallbladder's role by decreasing fat deposits and by speeding up the metabolism and removal of fats. The liver is the key organ in the control of body fat. Even if you do everything right, if your liver is slow to process fats it will slow your weight loss. The lipotropic portion of our Lipo B injections is composed of three amino acids: Choline, Methionine, and Inositol. They help your liver process fats at peak efficiency, making your weight loss faster and easier to maintain. For these reasons, we recommend weekly THIN-LIPO injections to help you lose weight and keep it off. After just 4 weeks of injections, you will look and feel healthier and your liver will thank you.
THIN-LIPO Injection:
Vitamin B12 + Lipotropic amino acids: Choline, Methionine, and Inositol
The different ingredients of this mixture are known to have the following attributes:
Aids in the proper metabolism of fats and removal of fat from the liver
Provides an energy boost
Boosts your metabolism by helping to digest food faster
Speeds up thought processes and improve mood
Provides essential components for normal cell and brain function
Helps control cholesterol levels and gallstones
Help emulsify cholesterol and detoxify amines
Help keep skin tone healthy and nail strong
Promotes healthy hair growth
Helps transform carbohydrates into energy
Vitamin B12: B12 is used in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It is involved in making DNA, necessary in the production of new healthy cells. It is a nutrient that helps keep the body's nerves and blood cells healthy. B12 lowers homocysteine levels, a protein associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and dementia. It is often used to give an energy boost, helping to increase activity levels. While B12 is found naturally in a healthy diet, factors like stress and poor eating habits can lead to a deficiency.
Our Lipo-B injection utilizes a highly absorbable form of Vitamin B12 called Methylcobalamin. It is felt that this form of B-12 may also be better retained within the body. Methylcobalamin has also been studied in sleep-wake rhythm disorders, where it appears to yield benefits.
Choline: Choline supports the health of the liver, in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products within the body. Moreover, it is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body.
Methionine: Methionine is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids and is important for many bodily functions. It acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup within the liver, is helpful in relieving or preventing fatigue, and may be useful in some cases of allergy because it reduces histamine release. Patients with a Sulfa allergy should not take this injection.
Inositol: Inositol, a nutrient belonging to the B vitamin complex, is closely associated with choline. It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce cholesterol within the blood. Inositol participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.
Vitamin B-6 Injections:
Vitamin B-6, also known as pyridoxine, assists enzyme reactions in protein and red blood cell metabolism, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements, or ODS. In people consuming low-calorie diets, vitamin B6 aids in blood glucose regulation by helping convert stored nutrients into energy the body can use. This helps increase metabolism. Vitamin B-6 also increases thyroid activity, which increases resting metabolic rate. In amounts near or slightly above the recommended daily allowance, vitamin B-6 can increase energy, support immune system function and improve memory.
Vitamin B12 Injections
Vitamin B-12 is an important nutrient that keeps the brain and nervous system functioning normally and is essential in the formation of red blood cells. It is essential in making DNA, the genetic material in all living cells, and is involved in cellular metabolism. B12 lowers homocysteine levels, a protein that has been associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and dementia. While B-12 is found naturally in a healthy diet, many medications, certain medical conditions, stress, poor eating habits, and the normal aging process can lead to a B-12 deficiency. The injections should increase your energy level and improve your mood. Many of our patients feel that a weekly injection of Vitamin B-12 gives them the energy necessary to stick with their reduced calorie food plans and increased activity.
You do not need an appointment to receive an injection. If, on your initial doctor's visit, the physician determines you can take B-12 injections, all you need to do is come by the office during regular business hours.

It is widely documented that women, on average, earn less than men for comparable work, so it may surprise you to learn that female CEOs of large companies included in a key global MSCI index made more than their male peers in 2015. However, men received superior options packages in the decade through 2015, and came out ahead in terms of total compensation during that period.
Among CEOs at the 2,470 companies that constituted the MSCI ACWI Index as of December 2015, which represents firms in 46 emerging and developed markets, 89 women CEOs out-earned 2,381 male CEOs, at least by two key measures, a new report by Meggin Thwing Eastman of MSCI ESG Research shows.
The women averaged $10.5 million in total realized pay (which accounts for gains from stock options), compared with $7.3 million for their male counterparts (below table). Women averaged $7.6 million in total summary pay (the amount companies book as CEO compensation, including the initial value of options grants) against $6.5 million for the men. The women's 2015 compensation in the two pay categories also bested the men's among U.S. companies alone.
MSCI ACWI Index Companies
Median, average and maximum 2015 pay metric values for male and female CEOs at companies that were constituents of the MSCI ACWI Index in 2015.
It's far from clear, though, that women have achieved pay parity. Over the MSCI ACWI Index's U.S.-based constituent companies for the decade through 2015, the men's options packages (chart below) were superior. A greater percentage of male CEOs than female CEOs were granted options over the period and the average value of those grants was higher (at the grant date) for the men than for the women. That put the men ahead in total compensation. Outside the U.S., the pay of women CEOs still lags that of men.
Frequency and Average Value of Option Grants to Male and Female CEOs
The chart shows the average value and grant frequency for option grants to male and female CEOs of U.S. companies over two periods: 2006-2015 and 2013-2015. Average annual value includes only grants made; zero values are excluded from the calculation. Grant frequency represents the percentage of years served by a CEO in which options were granted. The data set comprises 139 years served by female CEOs and 4,234 years served by male CEOs for 2006-2015, and 48 and 1277 respectively for 2013-2015.

Minister of Transport and Public Works, I would not sink so low to the point of uttering racist and discriminatory remarks targeted at Malawi Congress Party (MCP) aspiring vice-president Muhammad Sidik Mia when I launched.
Thumbwe Bridge construction project in Chiradzulu last Friday.
If I were Jappie, who is also national director of campaign for the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), I would feel embarrassed that I am still stuck in the past and that in this day and age, I am promoting racism while the rest of the civilised world is embracing diversity.
How I wish I were Mhango because I would not go out of my way and describe Mia as 'mzungu' and colonialist because that was racism at its worst.
Oh yes, if I were Mr Mhango I would realise that while Mia might be giving my party sleepless nights in the run-up to next year's tripartite elections, it is not fair to use racist remarks as a way of kuthana naye because it demonstrates that as a politician I have run out of ideas (kutha mapulani).
If I were bwana Jappie, I would realise that the best way to deal with political opponents is to tackle issues such as development plans that my party has in store other than racism.
That is if I were Jappie, fortunately, I think all people are born equal.

Romantic relationships between colleagues can occur in just about any line of work — including law enforcement. When they go bad, they can become a serious workplace issue. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is dealing with not only accusations of workplace impropriety but violations of the law.
A female detective with the department's Robbery-Homicide Division is accusing a senior lead officer of distributing nude pictures of her to others in the LAPD after she ended their relationship last August. She's also sought a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the officer, with whom she says she was romantically involved for five years.
The detective accuses the officer of being physically abusive at times during their relationship. She says that he raped her twice and struck her in the head on two occasions. She also reportedly has
To complicate matters further, that detective is married to a former assistant LAPD chief who retired last year amid a sex scandal of his own involving a subordinate officer.
The attorney for the officer facing a TRO denies that his client took the photos. However, he added, "Even if he did it — and I'm not saying he did — it's academic anyway if one voluntarily participated in such photographs…" The detective's attorney, however, notes that revenge porn (which typically involves distributing or posting explicit images of a former boyfriend or girlfriend without their permission) is illegal.
Sexual harassment allegations can get complicated if two people had a consensual relationship at some point. However, sexual harassment can occur after a relationship has ended. If the relationship is between a manager and subordinate, it could be argued that, by definition, it can't be consensual. Whatever the situation, if you believe you've been the victim of sexual harassment or any type of workplace harassment, it's wise to find out what legal options you have.

Is anyone sick of hearing about the gory burst of hallucinogenic insanity that is Panos Cosmatos' Mandy yet? Well too bad! It's here to stay, and the hype around this mindblowing film is still as strong as ever.
Game developer Abel Alves revealed to Twitter recently that he's working on an 8-bit retro-styled video game for the film, complete with the Cheddar Goblin scene that's been taking the horror world by storm. There's no word as to whether or not any studios have picked up the game or it's simply going to be released as a true indie title.
Work in progress @panoscosmatos @elijahwood pic.twitter.com/OzeGuCxRoA
— Abel Alves (@el_abelalves) November 17, 2018
In fact, details on everything surrounding this game are sparse besides the simple fact that Alves is working on it, but that only makes it more exciting. This is being done out of passion and love – what could be purer? Well, something without so much violence of course, but that's neither here nor there.
I think the true power of this film is revealed in the fact that so many people have been inspired by its stunning visuals and abstract vibe; there are so many fan creations being spawned from this film that its hard to list them all. It's like when Stranger Things was first released, but on a smaller, more niche scale.
Oh, and that Cheddar Goblin part of the game? Here's a glimpse.
Time to make the bonus stage of the #mandyvideogame, with the amazing Cheddar Goblin! @panoscosmatos @elijahwood @MandyTheFilm pic.twitter.com/8jST7nc4FO
— Abel Alves (@el_abelalves) November 18, 2018
Whether you liked the film or not, you can't deny that Mandy is already a cult classic. The fans have spoken and decided that Panos Cosmatos' otherworldly burst of bizarre violence is going to have some serious lasting power in the horror community.
If you're not on the hype train yet, you will be soon. Mark my words.
Would you play it? Or are you sick of hearing about this Mandy?

2018 Midterm Elections: What's at stake for Blacks in the Florida and Georgia's gubernatorial races?
As polls start to close, here's a reminder of why we went so hard.
Arguably the most hotly contested and watched races in today's midterm elections will be whether Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams will become the first female African American governor in the history of the United States, and if Mayor Andrew Gillum can become the first Black governor in Florida.
The tight races have garnered its share of national attention – and controversy. For both Abrams and Gillum to make history, the two Democrats will not only need large turnouts from Black and Latino voters, they must also receive a fair share of whites, particularly white women voters, in order to win.
Abrams, possibly the most visible candidate in the country, has been in a tight race against her Republican opponent, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp. The race has drawn out its share of celebrity endorsements. Abrams, the former minority leader of Georgia's House of Representatives, has brought out the likes of former President Barack Obama and former talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who even went door knocking for the candidate.
Obama said Abrams represents "a more hopeful vision" of government for the state compared to her opponent.
"Making sure that working families get a fair shake is on the ballot. But maybe most of all the character of our country is on the ballot," Obama said.
With polls showing a close contest, Kemp has the backing of President Donald Trump, who publicly said Abrams is "not qualified" to serve as governor.
Abrams, a graduate of Yale University Law School, struck back and said, "I think desperation tends to lead to, you know, comments that aren't necessarily grounded in reality."
Meanwhile, Gillum, the current mayor of Tallahassee, Florida, is in a very unpredictable racially- and ideologically-divided battle with Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis. You'll remember that DeSantis was accused of using racially-loaded language when he said in August that Gillum would "monkey this up" if chosen as governor of the Panhandle State. Even DeSantis supporter, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the the stakes are so high, this election, in his words, are "cotton-pickin' important."
"Public policy matters. Leadership matters. And that is why this election is so cotton-pickin' important to the state of Florida," said Perdue, a former governor of Georgia, to Kemp supporters on Saturday. "I hope you all don't mess it up."
In response, Gillum, who similar to Abrams has also been the target of racist robocalls, took the high road.
"We're trying our very best to end this race on a high note," Gillum said. "As I have said throughout the campaign, we're working to give voters something that they can vote for and not just against."
There's a lot at stake for these two states. Here are some of the biggest issues that voters are holding dear in Florida and Georgia.
Abrams supports expanding Medicaid and exploring a program to stabilize health insurance premiums.
Kemp opposes expanding Medicaid but supports increasing rural hospital tax credit program and seeking federal waivers to help stabilize insurance premiums.
Abrams backtracked that she would reverse a state income tax cut. Instead, she favors tax credit for lower-income families, expanding Medicaid and new scholarships and tax credits that could make childcare more affordable.
Kemp wants to put a cap on state spending adjusted for growth and inflation, slash income taxes, increase teacher pay and said he wants to eliminate "wasteful" tax incentives.
Gun control laws:
Abrams supports stiffer gun laws, including universal background checks for private sales of firearms and a repeal of the "campus carry" legislation allowing permit holders to carry weapons on college campuses.
Kemp opposes new gun restrictions and backs "constitutional carry," which would let gun owners conceal and carry handguns without permits. Kemp proposed a sales tax holiday for guns and ammunition and seeks to end some "gun-free" zones.
Abrams vows to eliminate using cash bail for some of the poorest defendants, ending capital punishment, supports steps to decriminalize marijuana, expanding accountability courts.
Kemp said if he's elected, he plans to create a new unit in the state attorney general's office devoted to fighting crime, especially those gang-related. He also rejects any in-state cultivating of medical marijuana.
While race and ethics are unquestionably big issues between Gillum and DeSantis in Florida's race for governor, there are other key issues as well. The winner of this hotly-contested race replace termed-out Gov. Rick Scott. For Gillum, not only would be Florida's first Black governor, but the first Democrat in two decades. Florida's next governor will also get to select the state's next three Supreme Court justices.
Gillum wants to expand Medicaid, arguing that it would help thousands of Florida citizens gain access to healthcare.
DeSantis, who only two weeks ago released his long-awaited healthcare plan, isn't in favor of Medicaid expansion, saying do so would give well-bodied persons free government benefits.
Gillum wants a corporate tax increase that could raise teacher salaries. He also believes the tax bump would better help citizens attending state schools enter the workforce.
DeSantis is not in favor of raising taxes, but instead a state ballot measure that would require a two-thirds majority of the Florida Legislature to pass any tax increases.
Gillum said the state needs to stop taking away money for traditional schools to pay for voucher programs. He also supports giving teachers pay raises.
DeSantis supports "school choice" and expand giving vouchers to allow students to attend private and charter schools outside of their district.
Gun control:
Gillum took on the National Rifle Association in court and has said that he wants to ban assault weapons.
DeSantis said he opposes gun restrictions and adds he would've vetoed a new state law passed this year that included some minor gun reforms.
These two key races are in two of largest Southern states and now a part of the most important and electrifying midterm election in U.S. history. The best way to be heard: Vote.

Buy this DVD?
Season 1, Volume 1
A Quinn Martin Production
Cast: Karl Malden, Michael Douglas -- with various guest stars including Robert Wagner, Paul Michael Glaser, Tom Bosley, David Soul, Edward Mulhare, Dick Van Patten...
MPAA Classification: not rated
Running Length: Color, approx 644 minutes (4 discs)
Genre: Crime drama - made for TV series
Reviewed by Cherie Jung
Veteran cop Lt. Mike Stone (Karl Malden) clashes a bit with newcomer to the department, Inspector Steve Keller (Michael Douglas). Stone is old-school. Keller is young and bright and has a degree in criminology. The two are partnered with Stone becoming a mentor to the younger, inexperienced Keller as they work out of the homicide division on "The Streets of San Francisco."
There are 14 episodes in this set, including the pilot. The hairstyles and clothes are a bit dated, as is the lingo, but it's a fun trip down memory lane, with the city of San Francisco as the main star. Malden and Douglas are the co-stars, in line after the city. It's also fun to see so many now familiar faces in the guest star line up.
Overall the episodes in this set hold up over time. But then some might argue that a good cop show is a good cop show. The '70s may have had less violence, certainly less graphic violence on screen, but the individual episodes still tell stories that will satisfy the viewer, especially if "The Streets of San Francisco" was a favorite program back in the days when it originally aired. My only complaint is two-fold. First this is only part of season one. The next volume (Season 1, Volume 2) won't be released on DVD until September 25, 2007. Secondly, I think there were at least five seasons. Fans have been waiting too long for the series to be released. At this rate, I may not live long enough to see the fifth season released!
Oh, well. Until more episodes are released, I'll just have to be content with watching the ones that are available over again.

LONDON — Pierre-Ambroise Bosse loves gambling and on Tuesday he rolled the dice and won the biggest prize of his life, the 800m world title, to give France their first ever gold in the event.
The 25-year-old, who had finished a valiant if frustrating fourth in last year's Olympic final, seized the initiative with 150 metres to go with a stunning burst passing Kipyegon Bett and race favourite Nijel Amos and held on to take the tape first from fast-finishing Pole Adam Kszczot.
"I am a gambler, I love going to the casino," said Bosse.
"And today I just gambled, I put everything on the red, even my last Euro.
So hopefully, this is also for luck in love."
Bosse, who is renowned for his offbeat character and addressed his cat 'Rabs' after finishing outside the medals in Rio by telling him to go the fridge and drink a beer for him, said he thought he had cast a spell over his rivals as no one threatened him down the final 100m.
"It felt like a nightmare as I was getting chased," he said.
"It was a never ending nightmare. I could not understand why nobody was going past me.
"Even when I crossed the line I could not believe it.
"The others killed themselves and they were already dead in the last 100m.
"I was like a witch casting a spell on them."
'Cannot party like Usain Bolt'
Bosse, who along with a friend launched an app called 'Deserve Her' earlier this year as a rival he said to dating app 'Tinder', said that he had felt like a kid who would do anything to have the toy he wanted from the shop.
"It was a war of attrition," said Bosse, who revealed he had spilt a bottle of water on his bed on Monday when he was fantasising about winning the gold.
"I felt like a little boy who wanted this toy and I said to myself: 'in any case you have nothing to lose'.
"When I went past them I put myself in their place and I said to myself: 'What must they be thinking? I thought they are going to pay for this and that pleased me'.
"It is the first time in my career I have felt like that.
"Finally today I was ahead of everyone. People can forgive me now because I now have that world title."
Bosse, who away from the track plays guitar -- largely tunes by legendary French poet and songwriter Georges Brassens, said he thought he was seeing things after he went on his lap of honour and espied his best friend in the crowd.
"He had a date with a girl in the south of France yesterday and we spoke to each other on the phone last night," said Bosse.
"He wished me the best of luck and I thought I'd see him again in France.
"And then tonight, I see him in the crowd and I was so pleased.
"He came all the way from France to see me. Maybe he brought me luck."
However, any thoughts of going out and celebrating with him have perhaps been put on hold.
"I had to pinch myself really hard to realise that I had really won," he said.
"In any case 200 metres after that I was throwing up.
"I cannot party like Usain Bolt." — AFP

University of Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez was less than three months from unlocking a $3.24 million bonus — oddly, tied to the price of oil — when he was fired late Tuesday night by the school.
The university is buying out the remainder of Rodriguez's contract in the wake of sexual harassment allegations that, though unsubstantiated in an internal investigation, revealed concerns about the "direction and the climate" of the football program.
Rodriguez, 54, will receive $6.28 million remaining on his deal, which was set to run through 2020, but he's missing out on a lot more.
His contract contained a longevity bonus linked to an oil company donation in 2014. A Wildcats booster gave the school 500,000 shares of a master limited partnership (MLP) that operates pipelines and other energy industry equipment.
The idea was simple. The school would keep the distributions the MLPs paid, and at specific times detailed in coaches' contracts, sell off the shares to pay longevity bonuses. The shares made their way into the contracts of Rodriguez, men's basketball coach Sean Miller and then-Athletic Director Greg Byrne.
Rodriguez received proceeds from the sale of a quarter of his shares on March 15, 2016. Had he remained at Arizona past March 15, 2018, he would have received a payment of about $1.08 million from the sale of another quarter.
And he also would have been guaranteed a bonus from the sale of the rest of his shares — worth today about $2.16 million — provided he was never fired for cause. He would have received that portion in March 2020.
As it stands right now, he'll never see the $3.24 million. The university declined to comment.
Though the name of the donor (and the MLP) is redacted from public records, details in the documents point to one company: Western Refining Logistics LP, whose one-time president and CEO Jeff Stevens is a major Wildcats booster. He has previously declined to comment.
Western Refining was sold in August to Andeavor Logistics LP in an all-stock deal, with 1 share of Western Refining translating to .5233 shares of Andeavor. The bonus calculations are based on the assumption that the Western Refining shares in Rodriguez's contract were turned into the commensurate number of Andeavor shares.
Rodriguez was hired at Arizona in 2012 after stints at West Virginia and Michigan. In six seasons in Tucson, he was 43-39 and 3-2 in bowl games.
Rodriguez said in a statement on Twitter that he was "deeply disappointed" to learn of the school's decision. He said that while the allegations against him are false, he did have a consensual extramarital affair.
Fired Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez loses out on odd bonus tied to oil prices
University of Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez was less than three months from unlocking a $3.24 million bonus — oddly, tied to the price of oil — when he was fired late Tuesday night by the school.

Haven's Primrose Valley Holiday Park, on the beautiful East Coast of Yorkshire is one of the countries, if not the world's, leading caravan holiday parks.

BELIZE CITY–Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin has been hearing arguments in chambers in a case brought by several offshore banking companies and their executives, who were indicted by a U.S. federal grand jury and whose accounts and assets the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) had secured a court order to freeze.
Chief Justice Benjamin ruled this afternoon to remove the freeze order because the FIU could not produce sufficient evidence to justify the continued freezing of the accounts.
In September, the U.S. indicted six offshore companies operating in Belize along with six individuals connected to the companies. They were indicted on multiple charges of money laundering and securities fraud, for allegedly scamming the U.S. tax system out of $500 million dollars.
The individuals named in the indictment are Robert Bandfield, a U.S. citizen; Andrew Godfrey, a Belizean; Kelvin Leach, and Rohn Knowles, two Bahamian citizens; Brian De Wit and Cem Can, two Canadians. The six corporate defendants are IPC Management Services, LLC; IPC Corporate Services Inc.; IPC Corporate Services LLC (collectively, IPC Corp); Titan International Securities, Inc. (Titan); Legacy Global Markets S.A. (Legacy); and Unicorn International Securities LLC (Unicorn).
Attorney Godfrey Smith, S.C., told reporters when he emerged from the courtroom, "Our application was a simple one, to unfreeze all the assets that were frozen by the government."
Smith added, "Very briefly, the court ruled that all the assets should be unfrozen, meaning, the restraining order is completely discharged. It did so on the basis of a total lack of evidence to support the allegation made."
"If you wanted to restrain our clients, you would have had to charge our clients, which they did do. Cost of court is therefore to be borne by the FIU, which will be considerable," Smith said.
"The short point I want to make on this is that [while] this was prompted by the government of the United States, the cost, of course, will be borne by the taxpayers of Belize, not the United States," Smith went on to say.
When asked, however, about the quantum of assets that were frozen, Smith declined to comment.
Another attorney, Michael Young, who represented two of the claimants in the case, said that the freezing order which was issued on September 24, 2014, was issued against all properties of the respondents, including the particular monies in accounts which were identified in the application. So it was a sweeping order against the property of the respondents in Belize, he said.
"It was an important decision handed down by the Chief Justice and it signals that you can't just have allegations, which are from abroad, and then following upon that, you are going to seize properties of companies or persons doing business in Belize under Belizean laws. There are constitutional protections which are enjoyed by persons who live or do business in this country, and in fact, this case had to do with that," said Young.
Young further noted, "Fundamentally, what occurred is that the court found that to be the case — the FIU moved to freeze property under the Act, when the requirements of the Act were not met. What they had before the court did not meet the minimum threshold that is required before you take these steps against persons doing business in Belize." He then commented, "At least the FIU has received judicial guidance as to how their powers are to be exercised."
Attorney Eamon Courtenay, S.C., told reporters that he thought it was an excellent judgment, because the Chief Justice set out in a very scholarly and professorial way the law as it applied to applications for freezing orders, when allegations of money laundering are being dealt with.
Courtenay said that the Chief Justice "went through the law very fully, very clearly, as well as the evidence."
"He [the CJ] came to the conclusion that 'the FIU had failed woefully in meeting the standard that is required by law'", he said.
"One of the very important points made by the Chief Justice is the description of the very devastating allegations made against all of our clients without any substantiation, without any evidence to support it, merely responding to a request from the United States," Courtenay remarked.
He added, "There certainly will be a damages claim against the Government of Belize."

Among those who may take the stand is Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman and chief software architect, who is among 13 Microsoft employees named on a final witness list submitted to the court this week. Executives from Compaq Computer Corp., Autodesk Inc. and Oracle Corp., as well as business and legal experts, also have been named as possible Microsoft witnesses.Nine states and the District of Columbia, which did not sign on to a settlement agreement Microsoft inked with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and nine other states, asked the court Wednesday to limit each side to 20 witnesses, according to the joint status report. The state plaintiffs said they plan to call 16 witnesses during the hearings, including executives from SBC Communications Inc. and the former chief of Netscape Communications Corp., Jim Barksdale.On Tuesday, the states filed a separate motion to strike 18 witnesses from Microsoft's list, arguing that the software maker added a number of industry executives as witnesses just hours before its deadline in an attempt to stall the brisk schedule of the hearings. The states said they would not be able to interview those witnesses or collect documents that would be relevant to their testimony in time to meet the Feb. 22 deadline for discovery in the case. In addition to limiting the number of witnesses each side could call to the stand, the states asked the court to limit each side to 85 hours of court time for examination of all its witnesses – or about one full trial day for each witness. If the court doesn't limit the number of witnesses each side can call, the states asked that the time limit be extended accordingly.Microsoft suggested in the joint status report Wednesday that each side should not be limited to a certain number of witnesses and should have 150 hours of court time to examine witnesses.Both sides did agree on some terms for the trial. For one, all witnesses called to the stand will appear live and not in taped interviews unless each side tells the court otherwise by March 4. In Microsoft's earlier trial against the DOJ under District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, Gates' testimony was presented in a taped interview.Microsoft, in Redmond, Wash., can be reached at http://www.microsoft.com/.The state attorneys general can be reached online at http://www.naag.gov/.

Oxford Union Schools Debating Competition
On Wednesday 15 January, Victor, Abhinaba, Matthew, Amreet, Anikit and Sian of Lower 6th competed in the prestigious Oxford Union Schools Debating Competition, this year hosted by Howell's School, Llandaff. After each motion was announced, the teams were assigned different roles within the debate and given 15 minutes to prepare for each motion. The motions were certainly challenging, and the judges commented that the standard of debating was particularly high this year. Our students acquitted themselves very well against teams comprising mostly Upper 6th students, and were consistently praised for their clear speech structures and astute points of information. Congratulations to all involved.

Pavel Marinov (center) accompanies Socialist leader Sergey Stanishev and former Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski during a visit to Burgas, photo Pavel Marinov, personal blog.
The controversial Regional Governor of Burgas and activist of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), Pavel Marinov, got to keep his job again despite the latest wave of change of governors by the caretaker government of Prime Minister Georgi Bliznashki.
"I hope these are the last governors we change," Prof Blizhnashi said after a meeting of the Council of Ministers.
Formally Marinov was the only governor appointed by Plamen Oreshraski, PM in the previous Socialist-endorsed government, who was incompatible with his post. This was proven with documents by Bivol as early as August 2013. Pavel Marinov is the owner and manager of offshore companies that he failed to declare. Therefore, the Council of Ministers is required to remove him from office as under the Administration Act (Art. 19, paragraph 6) governors are representatives of the executive power and are not allowed to "carry on business and trade activities or to be managers, sales representatives, procurators, brokers, liquidators or proxies.
Furthermore Marinov's "CV" includes…
document fraud
because he filed false documents with the Trade Registry on behalf of a long-deleted company in the UK.
The most recent disclosure of Bivol involves document fraud and Burgas' District Prosecutor's Office has initiated preliminary legal proceedings against the "Guilty Party for an offense under article 313, paragraph 1 of the Penal Code" on April 29, 2014 (decree 1276/2014 on the docket of Burgas' District Prosecutor's Office).
On July 1, the deadline was extended by four months because of the factual and legal complexity of the investigation, announced for Bivol the spokesperson of Burgas' District Prosecutor's Office. The case was assigned to the Investigation (at the Unit for Combating Organized Crime). A request was made to the UK within the international legal assistance frame to obtain documents from the British Trade Registry.
Another "exploit" of Marinov, from the last days in office of the Cabinet "Oreshraski", is the nationalization of 42 decares of land in the Sunny Beach resort, in violation of several laws. The case was also handed over to the Prosecution.
…and partnership with the Head of the Russian Space Wars
This is not all. Bivol also revealed the scandalous fact that Marinov is a partner with Sergei Boev appointed personally by Putin as Head of the Russian Space Wars program.
The revelation is embarrassing for our national security and our Euro-Atlantic partners*. The matter here involves a representative of the State who has access to confidential information about infrastructure and emergency evacuation plans.
Removal from office of people from the former Communist State Security (DS) – "Mission Impossible"?
The logical conclusion from all available evidence is that such a "valuable functionary" as Marinov, trained by DS in their school in Sofia's suburb of Simeonovo (First Department, "Georgi Dimitrov" Institute) and confidante of Russians in Burgas, cannot be dismissed just like that. Marinov's removal in the context of Russian pressure for the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline, for which Burgas port is key, looks like "Mission Impossible". The recent appointment of another DS collaborator, Argir Boyadziev, as Head of the Port of Burgas confirms this thesis.
Bivol urges Prime Minister Georgi Bliznashki to take a clear stand on the Communist State Security and to remove its key staff from positions of power. At least, he is mandated to remove the Governor of Burgas under the Administration Act. The PM also owes to the public an explanation of WHO pressured him to keep Marinov, despite the scandalous incompatibility, the legal proceedings and the relationship with the Russian services
* All data and publications of Bivol about Pavel Marinov will be provided to the embassies of partner EU and NATO countries.

Valentine's Lessons
2018.02.12 Monday
Greetings - Patrick here~
This week here at ECM, we are having Valentine's Lessons. I really enjoy getting to share the culture of this holiday with students. In the west, we do very different things than people seem to do here. The men buy the chocolates, and give them to the girls they really like. Here, it seems that the opposite is the case, with women buying chocolates and giving them to men. How interesting! I hope you have a wonderful holiday week, and be careful about eating too many chocolates. They are really high in sugar, you know~ Give them to me and Shaun - we'll help you eat them. Hehehe~
