Why Sisters of Frida?
Posted on Monday, February 22nd, 2016
Sisters of Frida CIC is an experimental collective of disabled women. We want a new way of sharing experiences, mutual support and relationships with different networks.
Sisters of Frida started at a meeting when we floated the idea of having a disabled women's group. It took some time to come together – the co founders were Eleanor Lisney, Michelle Daley, Eleanor Firman, Maria Zedda, Svetlana Kotova, Frieda Van De Poll and Martine Miel. We became a CIC in 2014.
We are seeking to build a/or different networks of disabled women.ô The barriers and multiple discrimination have not changed, we struggle to have our voices heard as disabled women in our own rights.
We would like a sisterhood, a circle of disabled women to discuss, share experiences and explore intersectional possibilities.

At UN CEDAW review in Geneva
Posted on Sunday, April 7th, 2019
ô On the last week of February, two Sisters of Frida, Rachel O' Brien and Eleanor Lisney joined other women NGOs for the review of UK government on CEDAW –ô The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women,ô often referred to as the ãwomenãs bill of rightsã, and it spells out womenãs right to equality and non-discrimination. They were funded by the EHRC to attend the examination.
They met with Ana PelûÀez NarvûÀez, the only disabled woman on the committee and they spoke on the needs of disabled women and the importance of CEDAW.
Before the event, Eleanor was in the core group steering group in the shadow report prepared by the Women Resource Centre for England (see the shadow reports). We also did our own Shadow Report supported by Women Enabled International and met with Amanda McRae while they were in Geneva.
Here is a podcast by Eleanor about the CEDAW review and the transcriptô

PROCESSIONS is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in a mass participation artwork to celebrate one hundred years of votes for women. Artichoke invites women, those who identify as women and non-binary individuals across the UK to come together on the streets of Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh and London on Sunday 10th June 2018 to mark this historic moment in a living, moving portrait of women in the 21st century. PROCESSIONS is produced by Artichoke, the UKãs largest producer of art in the public realm, as part of 14-18 NOW, the UKãs official arts programme for the First World War centenary.
Delaine Le Bas is a cross disciplinary artist creating installations, performance, photography and film. She was one of the sixteen artists who were part of Paradise Lost The First Roma Pavilion Venice Biennale 2007. She worked with her late husband the artist Damian Le Bas on their installations Safe European Home? and projects Gypsy Revolution and Gypsy DaDa. Delaine created Romani Embassy in 2015. Delaine has created performance text works with her son the writer Damian James Le Bas. Her works have been included in Prague Biennale 2005 & 2007, Venice Biennale 2007 & 2017, Gwangju Biennale 2012, Zacheta National Gallery Of Art 2013, MWW Wroclaw Contemporary Art Museum 2014, The Third Edition Of The Project Biennial Of Contemporary Art D-0 Ark Underground Bosnia & Herzegovina 2015, Off Biennale Budapest 2015, Goteborg International Biennale For Contemporary Art Extended 2015, Critical Contemplations Tate Modern 2017.
Delaine is one of the curators for The First Roma Biennale 2018 and is an Associate Curator at 198 Contemporary Arts & Learning London U.K.
These workshops are one of Artichokeãs 10 banner commissions, as part of PROCESSIONSã 100 Years 100 Banners programme. 100 women artists have been commissioned to make banners with community groups up and down the country in the lead-up to PROCESSIONS. The final banner made during these workshops will form part of PROCESSIONS, a mass participation artwork, and will go on to be publicly exhibited across the UK following the events.
Please contact Sisters of Frida, [email protected],ô by Friday 20th April to register your place in the workshops.
Find out more and register to attend PROCESSIONS at www.processions.co.uk
Follow the event at @processions2018 / #PROCESSIONS2018
Participants are required to be available for all the workshops and are invited to travel to London to carry the banner at PROCESSIONS London 2018.

Honey vs. Agave Syrup
Both are natural sweeteners; agave nectar contains high-fructose corn syrup, while honey, having tends to be sweeter and slightly higher in calories
THE SWEET TRUTH: Agave syrup and honey are both natural sweeteners. Agave is preferred for those following a gluten-free, vegan or low-glycemic diet. All sugar – from table sugar to high-fructose corn syrup or honey – contains some mixture of fructose and glucose: table sugar has a 50/50 ratio and high fructose corn syrup has a 55/45 ration. Agave nectar is 90 percent fructose. It does contain small amounts of calcium, potassium, and magnesium, but not enough to matter nutritionally. Honey has more calories than sugar but is sweeter tasting and less of it can be used in a recipe. Honey also provides antioxidants and traces of vitamins, such as niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, and B6, which are lacking in white sugar.
Who wins? At the end of the day, a sweetener is a sweetener, and both should be consumed in moderation.
TIP: Try sweetening foods with freshly-squeezed fruit juice!

As always Robert Reich, a former Social Security trustee, Secretary of Labor and currently professor at UC Berkeley, exposes the empty headedness of Republican economy ideas, which reveal themselves over and over again to be nothing but balderdash.
Reich in this five minute segment strips away the right wing subterfuge and exposes it for what it truly is: Propaganda whose sole purpose is to further enrich the rich.
You might also be interested in the graph that highlights the deficit accumulation by the last five presidents. If the GOP is out in front on anything its deficit creation. Recall the Mr. Hyde vice president Dick Cheney who famously said: Ronald Reagan proved deficits don't matter". Apparently they only matter when Democrats are in the Oval Office and working to improve the economy.

Chestnut Stall
This is taken at Petaling Street in KL. The chestnuts are imported from China. They fry it in a big pot with err..i think sand and sugar. The metal revolver you see at the centre of the pot will turn to mix the chestnut and sugar and sand. You eat the piping hot chestnuts after peeling off the crust. Chestnuts are sweet. They are used in chinese cooking and most commonly found in rice dumplings.

Introduction: Easy Wardriving Wireless Antenna Booster- Wifi - Wlan
In this instructable i'll show you how to build a very easy wireless antenna for practically no money. I made it by recycling some stuff that we were otherwise just throw away. So it's kind of green too! =)
The idea is to catch the wifi waves that pass near your laptop without reaching it, and make them bounce into your wireless antenna.
I use it standing behind my laptop when i'm.. reading my mail..
..to make it.. load faster..
It actually nearly doubled the signal strength i got from a certain access point.
It's really easy you'll see, so get into it right now!
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Gathering Materials
What you're gonna need is:
-Aluminium paper
-A big cardboard sheet
-some light pipe
-Duct tape
-Some other cheaper adhesive tape
-some screws
-a wood bit
-some (pretty soft) metal parts you can cut and bend
-tools: screwdriver, saw
Step 2: Make a Stand
Make a stand for the antenna:
-I screwed three metal parts i founded around, to a wood circle i got from a previous project. Nothing fancy, just make shure it holds.
-Roll a long sheet of metal around your pipe. To make shure it'll hold make the inner loop a bit smaller than needed.
- put everything together and make shure it holds
NOTE: do not screw together the pipe to the base. This way u will be able to tear the antenna apart and save it under your bed or something like that in case you need to.
Step 3: Prepare the Super-parabolic-wave-bouncer =)
1- Roll two metal sheets like in the first picture. These will hold the pipe and the "bouncer" together
2- Use duct tape to put fasten them to the sheet. Cover the upside part of the hole created by the holder that will be on top. That way your pipe won't come out there and your antenna will stay in place.
3- to glue the aluminium paper to the sheet i did like this: first put some tape along the sheet with the adhesive side facing up
4- secure these with some tape across like in the fourth pic
Step 4: Glue the Aluminium Paper
1 - Now put the aluminium paper onto the sheet.
NOTE: make shure you start with ONE side of the aluminium sheet. You will otherwise be doing a complete mess, and risk destroy the previous step if you do this wrong.
2- Secure one side first, and then slide your hand over the aluminium paper to make the eventual bubbles dissapear.
3- Fix the borders with some duct tape so it looks better.
Step 5: Curving
Use some cord to curve the antenna in the angle you desire.
It should be a bit shorter than the long side of the antenna. Secure with tape one end of the cord onto the back of the receiver.
Put a clip on the other end so you will be able to take the cord away when you want to save the antenna.
You will have to test to get the ultimate angle configuration, the one that gives you the best signal reception. =)
Step 6: FINALLY!
Finally, put everything in place and you will have a really effective semi-parabolic wireless signal reflecter that you can use to share your wireless connection with your neighbour. (not the other way! ;)
I'd like to read your comments!
Have fun people!
Peace out.

Thanks Will Try This but what about measurements
i have a waimax network for a cofenet but my connection become disable frequently and the clients become angri ,what can i do?
very good mersi
I have two questions: how do I connect it to my laptop and do you have video footage that it prooves works?
You DONT connect it. It simply reflects the waves to your computer.
Im not completly sure but in this sort of dish all the radio waves collect at a curtain point the focus have a look at thishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector
Im gonna try it to improve the wireless signal coming to my sleepout.
You have to experiment yourself which angle gives you the best signal boost!
-If you spread the sides the focus point moves away from the reflector
-if you close them to focus point moves in towards the reflector
Experiment! And let me know what you got! =)
Or you can use excel to graph a parabola, print it, and use that as a template. Don't forget to mark the focus point on the template so you'll know where the antenna should go.
draw your own graph. Draw lines from the bottom center to the outer marks, and mark dots one left and one intersect up, two left and two intersects up, and so on. Simply divide the width of the paper by four and mark that measurement above center for the focus. That simple, no calculator or computer required.
width from Center to edge I mean
Aluminum foil will work no worse than any other conductive material.
Focus is important. Simply divide the width by 4 and you have your focus - Or use the 45 degree reflection points for the focus. You will also find that orienting your antenna 90 degrees with respect to your diagram will also boost your signal quality by a significant amount.
Cool project - better than fiddling with trying to connect a pigtail inside your laptop!
Does anyone think using a sheet of Aluminum (not foil) will work at all? I am trying to get my wifi from my place to my brother, about 40 yards. I can use a laptop at his place and it can find wireless, but when I try his pc with a wireless card and no long antenna to it, it can not find a connection. Why would a laptop work and not the pc, both have wireless cards.?
All of the people above are right about a focus point for the reflector. There are allot of online calculators to make this calculation and get the best reception for your project. Look at my posting for the pop bottle reflector and read down in the comments area... A nice guy from south america had sent me a page of calculators and it did make a difference in the percentage of gain in the RF signal. Otherwise great job! :)
Do you wire this to your computer? If not, how do you use it?
Agreed. How do I connect this to my laptop?
(this is also a reply to rhackenb)
Guys the idea is to focus all the waves in a focus point where you're supposed to have either your laptop or your real antenna. If you spread the sides the focus point moves away from the reflector and you can have your antenna/laptop further away from the reflector. It all depends on how much space you got.
I hope it works for you! Let me know what happened =)

Lottie Doll Goes To Space - Designed by 6 Year Old Abigail
posted on October 18 2016
This talented little lady is six year old Abigail, who designed the Stargazer Lottie doll. The video below, created by female filmmaker Elena Rossini talks to Abigail and her Mom Zoe about their adventure. Abigail has a wonderful curiosity and enthusiasm for space travel so Lottie Doll teamed up with her to create a doll to go to space!
Stargazer Lottie visited the International Space Station along with British ESA astronaut Tim Peake in December 2015. The Special Edition 'Gold Collection' 'Stargazer' Lottie doll is a collaboration with the European Space Agency, and winner of the space.com 'Little Scientist' Space Age Award at the New York Toy Fair 2015. It just goes to show what little citizens can achieve when we encourage and inspire curiosity through play.
When we discovered Lottie Dolls we had to get them in store. You can see the full range on our website here, including the Stargazer Lottie Doll.

It's Furmint February and time to drink Furmint! Furmint February is a campaign to promote Furmint, Hungary's most widely planted white grape. For sure, thanks to its richness, Furmint is a great winter white although it's so delicious, there's no reason not to drink it all year long.
Highly susceptible to botrytis, Furmint comes in many styles. It can be fresh or botrytis affected, dry or sweet. Anyhow, "beguiling and delicious!" writes Ksandek Podbielski, Portland-based sommelier of Coquine when tasting the Bodrog Borműhely Furmint Botrytis Selection:
Dry furmint, originally intended to become Tokaji Szamorodni (sherried tokaji!!!!!) fresh and botrytis affected fruit managed to ferment all the way dry. It's all at once pure, bright and fresh, and dense with sticky sweet flavors and the powdery perfume of noble rot. Beguiling and delicious! #coquinedrinks #dinneratcoquine #wineonawhim #hungary #tokaji
Sadly, we're sold out of the Furmint Botrytis Selection but we still have other superb Furmint wines from Bodrog Borműhely. We also have many Furmints from Tokaj and other regions on our webshop.

Keepin' It Real
Originally written 22 Sep 09 posted 23 Sep 09 In the Holy Bible, God shared the flaws as well as the strengths of His people. Some wonder why? Why not just share the good qualities and leave out the bad? The bad qualities were certainly not shared for examples of what we should do—but as markers of hope. WHAT? Seeing that the "great ones" of Scripture were not always so "great" provides hope…. hope that God can use even the most flawed of us for His perfect purpose. We don't have to be

On Friday I travelled down to Swansea for some wet plate collodion work for a BBC TV series, unfortunately thats all I can say, it will be aired in January and went very well. I'll blog about it after its been screened.
Whilst in Wales I decided to visit my Parents in New Quay, Steph got the train to Aberystwyth, so I picked her up from there.
We visited Cardigan, Aberaeron, Newcastle Emlyn etc. A few antique centres, car boot sales and junk shops later and I was the better off with some large Victorian portraits, a paper guillotine and a small brass landscape lens all for less than a tenner!
One place we stopped at for lunch was Cenarth. As I had the wet plate gear in the back of the car, it was a case of "it would be rude not to!" To be honest I don't think my heart was in it and maybe felt obliged to shoot such lovely scenery. Does anyone else ever feel like that?
So here you go, three tintypes and an ambrotype.
Quite like this one.
This was the last plate. Wish I'd taken a bit more time and not cropped so tight to the top of the roof.
First plate, an ambrotype, under exposed then pushed dev. Looks ok as a plate surprisingly.

Spinach leaves are one of the most beloved elements of many cuisines in the world. Spinach is a leaf vegetable, which has few calories, is distinguished by a large number of vitamins and antioxidants, and also it pleases with a neutral taste, due to which you can add it to different products.
Spinach has been known for a long time, people read this leafy vegetable in ancient times.
For many years it was believed that he was the richest source of iron among a variety of foods. Sources of different claimed differently, but on average it turned out that spinach contains about 35 milligrams of iron per 100 grams of the product. It was only after many years that it became known that this was a mistake. The fact is that the researcher who was studying the spinach lost a comma before the results. In fact, 100 grams of spinach contains from 2.7 to 3.5 mg of iron, not more. Of course, this number is much less than the amount specified earlier, but this is not at all small. When eating 100 grams of spinach, a person gets a quarter of the norm of iron required per day.
Main benefits of spinach
Another advantage of spinach is that this product is very "light" in calories. It is only 23 kcal per 100 grams, but at the same time, it has enough fiber. Nutritionists advise to use it to anyone who wants to lose weight. After all, with small caloric content, it is able to provide a good sense of saturation of the body. Among other things, it helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, which is also important.
Fresh or frozen spinach leaves are also rich in vitamins A and C, these are vital antioxidant vitamins. These leaves are also rich in bioflavonoids lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene. Such soybean of the connections perfectly fights free radicals, can improve vision and help fine fight cancer cells.
Vitamin K in one hundred grams of spinach contains more than four daily allowances. This vitamin helps in the process of strengthening bones, promotes the growth of bone tissue. Also, vitamin K helps to reliably protect nerve cells from damage, but in our time it is very important.
There are in the leaves of spinach and B vitamins, among which is folic acid. They contain magnesium, manganese and potassium, copper, zinc, and magnesium. The latter is very necessary for the synthesis of enzymes. They are able to regulate the growth and synthesis of enzymes, and in addition, they allow to produce healthy sperm and take care of digestion.
What is the use of spinach?
The benefits of spinach are incredible, it is added to dietary dishes, used as decorations for salads and side dishes. Adults and children love spinach, which has a very good effect on their health. But, despite such benefits, there are some limitations in using it. For example, people with poor blood clotting spinach is contraindicated because it contains large amounts of vitamin K. It is undesirable to use it and all those who take anticoagulants. So if you have similar problems, before you use spinach, you need to consult a doctor.
It is also very important to note that in the spinach composition there is oxalic acid. And it is known for its negative property to promote the formation of stones in some urolithiasis. And goitrogens in spinach can be dangerous for people who suffer from diseases of the thyroid gland.
Spinach can be bought fresh or frozen. You can pamper yourself with fresh spinach only in summer, in the winter it is not easy to find it fresh, so it's safe to choose spinach in the winter and frozen. Many people express concerns when buying frozen food. With regard to spinach, all concerns can be discarded, since deep freezing contributes to the preservation of virtually all its beneficial substances.
Most often, this salad is eaten fresh raw - added to salads, sandwiches, even squeezed juice. In the heat treatment process, the antioxidant properties of the product will be much less. But, nevertheless, I use it for cooking soups, they are added to fish, to meat, to garnishes. Delicious spinach added to pasta or rice, use for baking. Perfectly combines spinach with eggs and fish. Often made from spinach sauce, it has a characteristic green color. By the way, it is spinach that is often used to make pasta or green pastry. This natural dye will not cause rejection of the body, and its neutral taste does not spoil the main taste of the dish.
Do not deny yourself spinach
Do not be afraid of frozen foods. Nowadays, it is very hard to find high-quality, healthy and at the same time, tasty dishes, it can be said simply impossible. In the market, we are witnessing continuous semi-finished products, a lot of baking, canned products. And the body needs fresh, healthy and vitamin-rich foods. They are usually difficult to find, and even at an affordable price.
Eating exotic fruits is expensive, ordinary vegetables in winter are completely tasteless and to some extent can be dangerous. And spinach frozen in this regard is a great option to diversify and enrich your diet. Find a lot of interesting recipes with the addition of this product is not difficult. And due to the taste of spinach, it is so easy to learn to love! Therefore, enter it into your diet, and your body will definitely be grateful for it!

Four Soundbites (& Venues) For Obama
1) "If we could convert our factories in a few months after Pearl Harbor from making cars to making tanks and planes, we can convert our factories today from making gas guzzlers to hybrids. Don't tell me we can't do that – We haven't tried!"
Setting: In front of a factory in Michigan, ideally one that was built before World War II but that is less important than the can-do message. In the event, he is not only sketching a very specific kind of change that would improve the environment and bring much-needed jobs to hard-hit Michigan, he is linking that promise to a specific history that is a source of national pride. As an added benefit, it touches his personal biography: Obama's grandmother went to work in a factory during WWII.
2) "You shouldn't need a college degree to fulfill your dreams." Setting: In a speech to students at a vocational school in Ohio. Obama often refers to the difficulty in affording college as an example of the economic tough times. But, many people are not going to college and non-college, blue collar voters has been a particularly difficult demographic for him to crack. This is a line that should have been in his acceptance speech but it speaks directly to those voters whom Hillary Clinton called the forgotten and the invisible. Obama needs to stop forgetting them.
3) "Do we really want government agents separating parents from their children? Pope Benedict was right: We need family-friendly immigration reform." Setting: The St. Bridget's Church in Pottsville, Iowa, the town that witnessed a large immigration raid last May. The church became a place of sanctuary after the raid as the town struggled to find homes for the children whose parents were arrested. This is the message Latinos care about but it also resonates with traditional ethnic Catholics in the East. This family-first approach also resonates with evangelicals. Not least, the issue makes McCain squirm because he had to backtrack on his previous support for humane immigration reform in order to secure the GOP nomination.
4) "You all helped John F. Kennedy win his battle against anti-Catholic bigotry. I need you to help us win another battle against bigotry today." Setting: The monument to the "Fighting Irish Brigade" at Gettysburg, a brigade that consisted of Irish Catholic regiments from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York and fought a crucial part of the battle on Day 2 at Gettysburg. Obama is reluctant to face the race issue head-on, understandably. But, circumstances might require it, as they did last spring, and for the same reason: Pastor Jeremiah Wright. In retrospect, this monument might have been a better backdrop for the speech about race Obama gave at the Constitution Museum in Philadelphia, a speech that played soaringly to his vision of America but did not necessarily connect with the white, ethnic Catholics whose votes he needs. But, if Wright or some other cause requires Obama to address the race issue, he should tie his struggle to the fight against bigotry that Kennedy faced. As Governor Barry Schweitzer said in his speech to the Democratic National Convention, he grew up in a home which, like virtually every Catholic home, had a crucifix and a picture of JFK.
Obama needs to keep the focus off of the cultural template in which he is an elitist and McCain (the guy with nine houses) is the average Joe. That means directing the message. He needs to talk to swing voters about their memories and their dreams, and connect them to his vision for America's future. Pictures are worth a thousand words and, at this stage of the campaign, you don't get a thousand words. But, a few well-placed soundbites, with the right backdrop, could help Obama connect with the voters who will decide his political fate in November.

This blog piece was very well written and hits on many points that would be very important for Barack Obama. In today's day and age, gas prices are high and costly for the American people. Obama would be wise to work on regulating gas prices for the American people, which is a primary concern for most adults today who must transport kids back and forth to school and other social events. Another very important issue that Obama should tackle should be scholarships and financial aid for the less fortunate who have the smarts, but not the resources to attend the colleges of their ability. A way should be found to help these students find a way to a college of their ability regardless of how much money or connections they have. It would not seem like a stretch to say Obama will receive many African American votes, so he should focus on helping the less fortunate with little resources in areas that are not the best, to receive the best education that they can.
On speaking about children of immigration, my opinion differ on that. Depending on the circumstance if an illegal immigrant is arrested, and their child who is also illegal, they too should be arrested. Children in America rely on their parents to take care of them, so why not the same for immigrants? If a child is legal, but the parents are illegal, this makes the situation very difficult seeing how the child has the right to be in this country, but the parents do not. One way to handle this would be to have the illegal parents put on a system that is like criminal probation to keep the family together. If the illegal immigrant fails to comply to this, then the appropriate action should be taken where they are forced to leave the country. The children can be placed into a foster home.
Lastly, Obama will have to face the race issue eventually. This is clearly evident. Obama may be only half-African American, but this is what most people consider him when speaking about him. Obama needs to speak out against the racism that is clearly evident throughout this country today. Again, this blog piece was very well written that conveyed its point to the upmost degree.

This piece is well written and definitely offers some good advice that Barack Obama should definitely take into consideration. I do agree that these sound bites and ads would certainly aid Obama in his campaign. Though this may be true, is this what we really want? These sound bites are essentially taking appealing images and ideas that follow what Obama says about change, but don't show how, or offer an explanation. These sound bites don't show the candidate as they really are and what they really stand for. To really get a sense of what Barack Obama is about and what he intends to do, voters would be much better off reading his book "The Audacity of Hope" or listening to his full speeches. Unfortunately, most voters would rather not take the time to read a book and listen to politicians ramble, and perhaps with good reason. These sound bites are "selling" the candidates, just as you would beer or cigarettes. They don't address the real things we need to focus on. For example, in the case of the fourth sound bite offered, if any voter saw that, who would say yes to bigotry? In the case of the third one offered, what American would want children separated from their parents by the authorities? These sound bites focus on the product, not the positions. Obama needs to show how this change will come about. Take the first scenario for example. If Obama is going to tell the major car companies such as Ford Motors that most of, if not all, their cars need to be hybrid then these businessmen would essentially laugh in his face. The assembly lines at these factories are made to produce these "gas-guzzling" cars, and then the factory would need new machinery. The businessmen in this situation would most likely ask the government for a tax break to pay off the new machinery. Then, where does the government make up this tax break to Ford? They would need to raise our taxes to compensate. Essentially, what I am offering is that we don't want to make the wrong decision based on a thirty second sound bite that seems like what we want. IF we voted this way, it would not only affect at least the next four years, but perhaps the rest of our lifetime. Obama has influence on the members of the Supreme Court, who are members for life. I do not disagree with the fact that these sound bites would greatly aid Obama, I merely believe that as voters, we don't want to vote based on thirty seconds of what we want to hear. I support Obama and I think the issues brought up in the sound bites definitely need to be addressed, except they should be addressed fully, including how it is going to be done.

I think Winters wrote an excelent review of what shoud be done by Barrack Obama.
I think that the first point brought up by Winters will definitely get attention from the voters. He has been very big in giving speeches to the car manufacturers in Michigan and this will only strengthen his support here. Theis Venue also has the added benefit that it would also appeal to the voters who are looking for alternate power sources.
Point number 2 I agree will pick up the "forgotten and invisible" however if Barack needs to expect a response from republicans. Many republicans are painting Obama as an elitist so this speech may attract some undecided voters however mrepublicans will deter many by saying that these are simply words.
I think that point number 3 is a perfect speach to make to attract to attract the Latino voters. This speech was also expected to happen by many voters.
Finally speech 4 I think has to absolutely happen. This is because the race issue has floated around since Obama entered the election and has been avoided. If Obama can tlak about this without it seeming like he is pitying himself his chances in this election will improve greatly.

The post is well written and offers very good advice for Obama and his campaign. The use of the soundbites in the Obama advertisements would greatly improve Obama's outreach to voters and help him to persuade undecided voters possibly onto the Democratic side. Aiming these ads at specific cultural groups based on location would be justifiably the best way to reach out to these groups. Through the highly effective ad campaigns Obama can highlight issues that pertain to the public. Focusing on energy efficiency and new energies is a great way for Obama to spread his message of change throughout the country. The energy of Obama helps to fuel his own political message and with the apparent effects of global warming most Americans understand the growing need to fund and develop new alternative fuels. Obama has yet to face the race issue head-on because he does not want to turn this presidential competition into a racial confrontation. People need to focus on and understand the issues rather than on racial prejudices. Barack Obama can use soundbites in his campaign ads, the question is whether he will use them to his benefit.

A promo for the first episode of CW's latest, largest DC Extended Universe crossover event debuted this week! Starting with the CW's latest acquisition in its "Arrowverse" franchise, Supergirl. The crossover is set to air Monday, November 28th. The event will continue for the remainder of the week, taking up the 8/7 Central time slot through Thursday night.
Titled Invasion, or Heroes Vs. Aliens, the event revolves around a species called "The Dominators". The crossover brings together all of CW's Arrowverse shows: Supergirl, Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow. Unfortunately, iZombie's Liv Moore won't be in attendance, being a DC Vertigo character.
This is the fifth of DC's Extended Universe crossovers. It comes as little surprise after Arrow scored hit ratings and critical acclaim. Since Arrow's success, the CW has been collecting DC rights including the character Constantine after the short lived NBC show was cancelled. After a successful fan campaign, CW brought him into the Arrowverse as a guest appearance. After the wildly successful crossover between Flash and Supergirl, CW acquired Supergirl from CBS. Now the channel's DCEU takes up four prime slots on the channel per week.
This crossover event also marks a huge milestone for Arrow. The third episode in the crossover, Invasion, will be Arrow's 100th episode, celebrating five years of unbridled success from the show. Check out the trailer for the crossover event below geeks! Let us know if you're ready to see this epic mash-up in the comments below.

Mo and I stroke gold during a recent trip to the library. Sitting up on the window sill, was Christian, the Hugging Lion, by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell.
Hmmm… could this be about THE hugging lion, aka the youtube sensation? If you have not seen this youtube video, please take a few minutes to do so. You'll thank me!
You cried, right? I cried the first time I watched that video. But here's the kicker, I cried reading this book to Mo. And, not just the first time. I probably read the book ten times to him, and I cried the first seven times, and choked up the other three.
I am not sure if the story is the exact story, or if the authors took some liberties with the children's book. In the book, it starts off with Christian the lion, being sold at Harrods. At that time, Harrods said they could sell anything, and here is little Christian waiting for a home.
The story then continues as two boys, John and Ace, take Christian home and lead a fun 'normal' life together. Christian goes for walks at the park, naps on the sofa, and watches birds out the window. Normal, right? But Christian kept growing, and they decided it would be best for Christian if he had space to roam free. They boarded a plane and took him to Kenya.
As a mom, I thought about Christian as their baby and how much John and Ace loved Christian. But then as Christian grew up, they knew in their hearts that the right thing was to let him go. (Given that Mo is only 18 months, I can't even begin to fathom that day.) So yes, there were tears of sadness, or anticipated future sadness, as I read this book. But as you saw in the video, the story doesn't end there!
Years later, the boys fly to Kenya and go looking for Christian. As I'm reading this to Mo, tears of joy were streaming down my face as Christian recognizes and then hugs them.
I found this illustration in particular to be overwhelmingly joyful.
We have since returned the book back to the library, but I plan on picking up a copy next time we're at a bookstore. This sweet story tenderly captures the essence of friendship. Check it out next time you are at the library or your local bookstore.

Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure | Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project
Project status
Permit issued
On May 27, 2019, a project permit was issued to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) for the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project. The project was reviewed under a harmonized environmental assessment process involving the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office and the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. A portion of the project is located within federal lands and waters managed by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.
The project was approved by the port authority subject to 98 permit conditions which MoTI must meet to ensure the project does not result in significant environmental effects.
Construction is anticipated to begin in Fall 2019 and take up to five years. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take up to two years. For more information about the project and construction activities, please go to MoTI's website.
About the project:
The Pattullo Bridge Replacement project will include the construction of a new four-lane bridge spanning the Fraser River between New Westminster and Surrey, British Columbia, in the general location of the existing bridge. The new Pattullo Bridge will have approaches connecting to McBride Boulevard in New Westminster and King George Boulevard in the City of Surrey. The project will also include the removal of the existing Pattullo Bridge.
About the harmonized federal-provincial environmental assessment:
The British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office and the port authority agreed to a coordinated provincial-federal environmental assessment process for the project, with the Environmental Assessment Office as the lead agency. The harmonized environmental assessment process incorporated the port authority's federal requirements and met both of the respective assessment processes.
As part of the review, the port authority considered all materials and feedback submitted as part of the harmonized environmental assessment process to assess the potential effects of the proposed project on the environment, communities, and Aboriginal groups.
At the conclusion of the harmonized environmental assessment process, the port authority made a determination under section 67 of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 that the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. The project was reviewed under the port authority's Project and Environmental Review process as a Category D project.
On May 2, 2019, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing decided to issue an environmental assessment certificate to MoTI for the project.
For more information:

The Royal Standard of England
A quintessentially English pub with a dark cosy interior dating back centuries and a large garden with views. Traditional pub grub, family-friendly and dogs welcome.
If you like your pub oozing history at every turn with curiosities, nooks and crannies, real log fires and a convivial atmosphere, then the Royal Standard is for you. There's some kind of dwelling on the site for a thousand years with ale being brewed by an ale wife (the brewers were generally women) and the Brewster's cottage becoming an alehouse. Apparently, it's the oldest freehold pub in England and as you enter its dark interior through ancient wooden doors across Medieval tiled floors, it certainly looks the part. So much so that it's been used as a location for a whole raft of films, from The Theory of Everything, Hot Fuzz and Midsomer Murders. Expect traditional hearty British food like roasts, fish and chips and local game here. For summer there's a large garden – so no surprise to hear that kids and dogs are welcome.

I always hated going to the dentist and would skip years at a time but once I started going to Dr Novick that hatred faded off. It may sound corny but Dr Novick gave me my smile. I trust his opinion and take his advice on what he recommendeds for my oral health. His staff is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel comfortable.

Nice and clean environment. Dr. Novick is very knowledgeable and kind, as well as the rest of the staff. Dr. Novick explains what is going on and actually discusses with the patient what is the best plan of action. A patient-centered practice. Would recommend to others.

Been coming here a really long time. I don't even live local anymore and travel from CT because Dr. Novick has really taken care of my mouth over the years. He always takes the time to explain everything and even follows up personally after any procedure to make sure your doing ok. Always a great experience, and you can tell that everyone actually cares about their patients. The office is clean and runs on time which is amazing. Thank you Diana, Pamela, Danielle and the rest of the crew.

There is soooooooo much that's incredible about this office and all of those working within it, that it's rather difficult for me to put it into words. Can't wait for my next visit!

I have been Dr. Novick's patient for many years and the care that I've received over the years has never been anything less than excellent. As a nurse I'm very conscious of environment and cleanliness. In addition to always feeling safe… his office is welcoming and comfortable. From the first day, almost 30 years ago, it was immediately apparent how knowledgeable Dr. Novick was and how much he enjoyed his profession. Time has not changed this. He remains current in dental practices and procedures, and it is apparent that he still loves what he does. Many years ago, my Mom was very ill and was in rehab, and he came to the facility to address an issue she was having. Who does this? I will never forget that kindness. I am very sensitive about my teeth, maybe too sensitive, and have had some dental issues over the years. Dr. Novick has always been patient and interested in addressing whatever concerns I've had. He explains everything he is doing; there is never any pain; there are never any surprises and he calls to follow up after a procedure. His staff is phenomenal! Diana, his office manager and Danielle, his patient coordinator, are a pleasure to deal with. They are accommodating and professional, and simply the nicest people you could know. Since Pam, his Dental Hygienist, has been in the practice I no longer dread cleanings. She is gentle and thorough. And his assistants Rafaela and Laura are friendly and a pleasure. It is difficult these days to find a physician in any specialty who has the expertise, patience and caring personality that Dr. Novick has…as well as a terrific staff. What more can you ask for? I've told Dr. Novick many times that he had better not decide to relocate or retire (a ways off, I imagine) as long as I still have teeth in my mouth!!!

Wow! Just wow!... I say that becuse like so many, I'm someone who dreads going to the dentist. Filled with anxiety from a young age, I always associated the dentist with negativity. That was the case until I had my first appointment with Dr. Novick. The experience provided by him and his incredible office staff is second to none. I would go as far as to say, it was actually kind of fun. Dr. Novick's calming personality and witty humor made it feel like I was anywhere but a dentists office. I highly recommend for children and adults of any age if you're looking for a dental experience that will actually be enjoyable!
