Efforts in the US to remove loot boxes may in progress seriously. Josh Hawley (the Senator) has issued the Protecting Children from Abusive Games Act, a bill that might ban games from comprising pay-to-win mechanics, paid loot boxes, and other possibly exploitative components in games that are either targeted at children below the age of 18 or knowingly allow those kids make micropayments. These practices drive "compulsive habits," Hawley claimed, and creators should not be allowed to "monetize obsession."
The FTC might enforce the regulations, considering violations as unfair trade means, while state lawyers might have the power to take legal action against companies and defend their residents.
Huge game publishers such as EA, Activision Blizzard, and others have classically objected to laws like this earlier, in some cases even confronting local regulations until they had no option but to obey. They have made exceptions, such as revealing the general components of loot boxes and moving any in-game payments to cosmetics. The efforts have sporadically needed rebalancing complete games to make development fairer for those who are not ready to pay extra.
On a related note, it is well known that algorithms can show bias, though unintentionally, and a group of US politicians think that they can take some action against it. Senators Yvette Clarke, Cory Booker, and Ron Wyden have launched an Algorithmic Accountability Act that might need bigger firms to trial their algorithms and fix anything "unfair, inaccurate, discriminatory, or biased." The decision might also ask them to research how their systems defend personal info, and might allow the FTC generate laws obliging impact researches for "extremely sensitive" automated networks.
The bill might only apply to firms that either make over $50 Million every year or have info for minimum 1 Million devices or people. Small firms might theoretically be secure

Port City Development Project SL Govt would have to invest in infrastructure facilities – Megapolis Minister
This was executed as a private investment project. US $ 1.4 billion was invested to reclaim land from the sea
We initially planted palmyrah trees at Galle Face but they all died, and only the kottamba trees seem to survive in that condition
By 2025, we have a few targets. We will build a marina. That is a yacht service. Besides, China Harbour will invest US $ 1 billion for the financial centre
By Kelum Bandara
Reclamation for the Port City is to be completed by the first quarter of next year, Minister of Megapolis and Western Development Patali Champika Ranawaka said.
Ranawaka went on to say that the project could not be considered a solely Chinese project as the Sri Lankan government would have to invest in infrastructure facilities connected to the reclaimed land.
Information relating to the allocation of land for development purposes would be released this month, he added.
"This was executed as a private investment project. US $ 1.4 billion was invested to reclaim land from the sea. The investor is China Construction and Communication Company. China Harbour Engineering Corporation is the contractor. The project was designed by leading experts. Above all, the site is in need of water supply and electricity connections. Also, we need a mechanism to drain out rainwater and sewage disposal. Only the Sri Lankan government is making an investment in this regard."
An artificial canal is also to be constructed, with work completed in time with the reclamation. The Minister stated that officials were in the midst of determining which trees should be planted along the gardens on either side of the canal
"We initially planted palmyrah trees at Galle Face but they all died, and only the kottamba trees seem to survive in that condition."
Speaking of roadways connecting the reclaimed land to Colombo, the Minister said that a transport link would be established between the Port City and the Kelani Bridge.
"There will be a bridge parallel to the present Kelani Bridge that will connect with the Katunayake expressway. The Katunayake expressway is anyway going to be linked with the other network of expressways in the country. We will construct an elevated highway linking up the proposed new Kelani Bridge with the Port City. From Chaitiya Road, we will build an underground highway up to the Kollupitiya railway station.
There is a light rail system lined up connecting suburbs such as Malabe, Battaramulla, Rajagiriya, Borella, and D.R. Wijeywardene Mawatha. It will be linked up with the Pettah Multimodal Transport Hub. For all these, the Sri Lankan government will invest."
The Sri Lankan government will own 62 hectares of land in the Port City allowing it to line up funding for these investments by leasing out lands.
"By 2025, we have a few targets. We will build a marina. That is a yacht service. Besides, China Harbour will invest US $ 1 billion for the financial centre. It is a sixty-storeyed building and there will be three towers.
With the involvement of the Sri Lankan government, there will be an international school, hospital and a convention hall.
After 2025, there will be facilities for amusement and a housing scheme. The international financial centre is the most important one. It was only after World War 1, that the idea for an international financial centre came up. Switzerland did it for the first time. Actually, Swiss banks hold US $ 2.5 trillion as deposits.
It accounts for one-third of the global offshore savings. Switzerland, as a mountainous country, has the advantage," he said.
According to the Minister, Sri Lanka is to target the super-rich of India to deposit their wealth in the Colombo International Financial Centre.

To My Fellow RVers :)
Just a refreshing reminder…
Extra Storage and Kicking Back
One thing I believe all RVers will agree on is that we're always looking for ways to make the most efficient use of our space. We may want to add items to our rigs, but we don't want them to utilize any additional room. Well, I wanted a small ottoman to put in front of my swivel lounge, but I needed it to be functional, also. As well, I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg, and of course, I needed it to match my decor. I searched on Ebay and Etsy, and found several that I liked, but again, I didn't want to spend a great amount of money. The cost of the ottomans along with the shipping costs didn't work for me (It's amazing, once you start saving money, you want to spend less and less.)
I stopped at Walmart and found a very inexpensive storage ottoman ($16.88.) I then went across the parking lot to JoAnn Fabric and purchased a remnant piece for $3.30 to cover the top to match my decor. Now, not only do I have the perfect footstool when lounging in my chair, I have additional storage and because it fits perfectly between my twin beds, there's no need to find a special place for it when it isn't in use. Good stuff, indeed!
New Faucet Redeux
It's been nearly two months since I spent my first night in the RV. Although I have running water, I haven't used it for cooking or drinking because I just didn't trust the water supply from campgrounds and truck stops. Probably worrying over nothing, but whatever. Instead, I've used bottled and distilled water by the gallon. Needless to say, although inexpensive when compared to overall grocery tabs, the expense can add up if I continue this practice over the course of time. To alleviate this monthly budget line item, I purchased a Brita Filter. Excited to install it and discontinue purchasing the bottled water (which also utilizes space that can be used for other items,) I ripped the box open, attempted to twist it on my fairly new faucet, and quickly found that I have the strangest sized aerator ever created.
I made multiple trips to Home Depot and Lowe's to find the correct aerator adapter, and stumped all of the sales associates when nothing they carried would fit. I even contacted Brita and they sent me a number of adapters with full confidence that one would work. Nope – – not even one was the right size. Refusing to be frustrated any further, I purchased a Delta Bar Faucet, even less expensive than the first one. To my pleasurable surprise, this one is not only taller than the first, but it also swivels – – good stuff! As well, the Brita connected flawlessly without the need for an adapter. I tasted my first glass of clear, crisp faucet water in my old Gypsy Rider and said goodbye to hauling 24 packs of bottled water and gallons of distilled water. I'm getting this mobile life down to a science!
Stovetop Baking
When I decided to purchase the Rialta, I was sold on every aspect except for the fact that I would have no oven (well, there's a microwave, but that doesn't count…) The idea that I would be unable to bake did not settle well by any means. Well, lo and behold, I found a solution. After much suspicion, I purchased an Omnia Oven. I couldn't believe that what appeared to be a typical bundt pan would allow me to bake without a convection oven. I ordered it anyway, and although I was still suspect when I felt how light the box was when it arrived, I immediately made a blueberry quick bread. Well, my doubt has waned and my skeptical tongue has been silenced! In a matter of 40 minutes, I was feasting on warm blueberry bread with cinnamon honey butter that I whipped up while my Omnia was working it's magic. Granted, it doesn't produce a well browned top as it would in an oven, but that's a very small concession when I can still bake cookies and rolls and quiches… oh my! So, I've got buttermilk biscuits on right now, and plan on being in brownie heaven tonight. This life just keeps getting better and better!


text: Blogging again I've been on and off blogging in the last years. Being constantly busy shooting and editing content (I'm not blaming for this of course) I don't have much time left. That's why lately I've just removed all my other blogs and try to limit my extra time spent on the computer (or phone) on social media, most of all Instagram and Youtube. Even though, the nice thing about blogging is that you can tell a bit more the story behind what I show on my socials or on my portfolio and that's why I will try to resume some sort of blogging here. It's not a promise, but at least an aspiration.

Hak assault Sai and Moy group who fly on the topless, the Ninja who though Reanimation and own Kekkei genkai began to meet head-on, such as Koura of Sunagakure, and Shinreigari of Iwagakure and Momochi Zabuza. Face to these powerful enemy, Sai et al. come to a crisis, and at this time, Kakashi group and Sakura come.
Talk about the Utchiha brothers
Sasuke Utchiha
Sasuke is the example of a good and happy kid, who got through a tragedy. He uses only his hatred as a motivator and it is shown to work quite well for him.
But deep down his hatred comes from love.Yeah that's right LOVE. He loved his parent and relatives a lot. And he loves even more his big brother Itachi.
Let me say a few words about his fighting style and his jutsu. Compared to Naruto, Sasuke can use 2 elements, has far better training, and knowledge. He also uses far more strategy when in a battle and most of the times calm.
Itachi Uchiha
First of all he's an Uchiha and has not only the Sharingan, but the Mangekyou Sharingan(which he awaken some time before he killed the entire Uchiha clan.
Itachi has always been a piece-lover(he hates war) but just had the bad luck of growing up during the 3rd Great Ninja War.
I admire how he's always so calm and analytical and almost unbeatable.
He did everything to protect his little brother (Sasuke Uchiha). But to tell you the truth he had no choice in one scenario he would do what he did in the other there would spring another war if the Uchiha clan started it.
He also is powerful enough to defeat Nagato(Pain) alone. And not to forget that he fought Sasuke, while in pills.
The compare of Naruto and Sasuke in five aspects
In Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke are good friends, both them are the popular character, although Naruto was always ranked last at his childhood, he also grow into a excellent Ninja, so there is someone like to do contrast for them. I think it is funny, so i also contrast them in five aspects. If you have any other thoughts, please leave messages to me.
1 The comparison of Chakra
2 The comparison of skill in fighting
3 The comparison of IQ
4 The comparison of character
5 The comparison of favor in the eyes of author
Chakra mentally divided into 2 attributes, quality and properties. Naruto have a quality advantage on Sasuke, I think in this point, there must no doubt. In the past analysis posts, the author alays said the Chakra of Sasuke is little, i think the result is compared with Naruto, after all, compared with most of others, Sasuke have more advantages. And then from the properties of Chakra, at first, the author Kishimoto have said, the wind attribute is rare, and it is benefit fight; so from the beginning, these words have decided the superiority of Naruto's Chakra. And then, at the fighting between Sasuke and Orochimaru, Orochimaru give a good evaluation of Sasuke," I have never seen such attribute Chakra." And later, according to different fightings of Sasuke, we could found his Chakra attribute is also very sharp as Naruto's, so in this aspect, they draw.
In the skill of fight: Sasuke's combat skills are no doubt very good, sensitive reaction, sober analysis, and his ability to make immediate response, I think maybe all the good words about fighting could used in Sasuke. Naruto always break out in the nick of time, such as in his Genin examination and the fighting with Neji.
In IQ, I think in this aspect, we needn't talk to much, the IQ of Naruto is very common, and the author have been the intention. If Naruto is a genius, we may hardly image his excellent expression in emergencies. Or maybe this anime want to indicate "even the ordinary person could save the world".
In character, both Naruto and Sakuke are the orphan, however, their characters are two extreme, Naruto represent love and Sasuke represent hate, the different character decided their different way, the story goes around these two plotlines. Although we guess finally Masashi would select love from our common sense, the excellent story and the result of Sasuke also attract us.
At last, which one Masashi Kishimoto love better between Naruto and Sasuke? This is also one topic we have to discuss. When Naturo and Sasuke fight with monster together, the scene most occurred are the Sasuke confront the monster, and after he was defeated, Naruto would change to super Saiyan by the strength of Ninetales. I think this maybe to balance the difference of them in all kinds of ability. In general, as Sasuke become a avenger, his fans is less, after all, his character is not the main stream in the world.
The memorable quotes of Naruto
I've always considered myself to be a true ninja… but those were just empty words, because Sasuke and Naruto were always in the lead! But now it's my turn to take the lead, and all of you can watch me from the background!—Sakura
In this anime which full of attractive male roles, the female seems not so outstanding. As the first heroine of Naruto, Sakura is just a ordinary girl, she is not excellent among all the Ninjas, of course not bad; she don't have a great dream as Naruto, she like our ordinary person. From the quote, we could found Sakura has also grow up, she began to know the real meaning of Ninja, maybe there is one day, she can really become a amazing Ninja.
I understand now. Even if I must take the devil's fruit, I must gain power. I am an avenger.—Sasuke
This is Sasuke's heart, at this time, he has been blinded by hatred; see here, we are aching as Sasuke, he seems far away from light. Please come back, Sasuke! I think this is lots of people's hope.
What does pain feel like?–Gaara
Gaara is also a pathetic child, in a way, he is more lonely than Sasuke. When we realize Gaara's lot, we began to sympathize with him, even like him. This ostensible cool boy actually is a pity boy, he didn't feel any love as him remember, perhaps, there is only Naruto could know him. Really hope he can be influence by Naruto, and then fight longside him.
What a Drag…—-Shikamaru
There is no doubt Shikamaru is a genius, however, different from others, he did not want to show his flashes of brilliance. He is to lazy, everything to him is a trouble, he just want to become a normal Ninja and though his life flatly. These words are Shikamaru's pet phrase, it is very classic.
It seems like the small leaves in theVillageofKonohahave inherited that "will of fire" you spoke of, Third. The fire on the leaves will eventually burn greater and stronger… It will flash its light and protect this village. — Iruka
This quote come from Iruka at the funeral of Sarutobi, this is a best interpretation of Sarutobi's last words, it is also the spirit of Konohagakur, we believe Iruka would carry forward for future generations.
Hello students, today I got lost on the road of life. — Kakashi
This quote is also a very popular words in Naruto, it could show the character of Kakashi. I believe there have many people laugh when hear this quotes. This quote show Kakashi's wisdom and humor, and it is also the charming of him.
I want to show I can be a splendid ninja as well even if I don't have ninjutsu or genjutsu… I want to prove it to the whole world!—Rock Lee
Contrary to those genius, Rock Lee don't any superiority with born. these words become his ideal, and also the reflex of his spirit, this quote impressed me very much, only rely on strive we could become a successful people.
When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew. — Sarutobi
This quote is the last words of Sarutobi, and it is also the biggest wishes in his life, this word let us see the hope of Konohagakur, and Sarutobi who said these words also become a honorable people to us.
Dattebayo and Believe It — Uzumaki Naruto
As the first hero of the anime, Naruto have many famous quotes. However, these words must be the most common one among them. Every time when we thought of Naruto, I would remember his appearance when he said these. I believe you must have deepest impression on these words.
Naruto Chakra, the world of Ninja
Chakra is a Sanskrit, it means circle and wheel. In Naruto, this words is the origin of strength to launch Jutsu, in short, Chakra is the energy of Jutsu. In Ninja's world, the sprit and the energy is correspond, then convert the Chakra to energy, the different convert efficiency would affect the Ninja power.
InIndiaphilosophy, Chakra exists in people body, and takes charge of people's physical and mental operation. It is related to health and function of organ; and in mentality, it is related to emotion and spirit. Besides that, the Chakra have close relationship to color, in people's body, there represent 7 colors from bottom to top, and then derive the color therapy, today, we talk about the seven kinds of Chakra, and then, I should talk about more contact based on Chakra.
Sahasrara: Crown Chakra (top of the head; 'soft spot' of a newborn)
Ajna: Brow or Third Eye Chakra (pineal gland or third eye)
Vishuddha: Throat Chakra (throat and neck area)
Anahata: Heart Chakra (heart area)
Manipura: Solar Plexus Chakra (navel area)
Swadhisthana: Sacral Chakra (ovaries/prostate)
Muladhara: Base or Root Chakra (last bone in spinal cord, the coccyx)
The charming of Hatake Kakashi
Hatake Kakashi is one very popular role in Naruto, although he is not the hero of this anime, it couldn't not stop Kakashi become a popular star in Naruto. Today, let's talk about the charming of Kakashi and why he is so hot?
1 mysterious appearance
Kakashi always wearing a mask, it is only eyes could be seen on his face! He is too mysterious, so the fans always guess how handsome he is.
2 be on good terms with Naruto
Kakashi has a good relationship with Naruto, when he together with Natuto, he always seems very calm and deep, and while Naruto looks very flurry and petulant. This contrast also highlight Kakashi's charming.
3 Powerful strength
The strength of Kakashi is also very mysterious and elusive same as his appearance. However, there is one point we could affirm, his strength is close the Kage level. Do not forget he is the first technician of Konohagakur, and his father is Hatake Sakumo whose strength is no less than 3rd Hokage. Perhaps the Hatak family also owns the powerful Kekkei genkai. But to Kakashi, the most powerful Jutsu is the Rinnegan.
4 Impressive past
It is not doubt so many people feel sad and move for his miserable history, so there are many people admire his strong and perseverance. When he stand in front of Sasuke and said, there is no one important to me, they are all killed." we know how strong he is.
5 Desultory but optimistic character
Kakashi usually make us feel he is desultory, but when the danger is really coming, he can stand up on his own, and his optimistic character usually make us feel funny.
The fourth to endure world war ii will be started

The hero of Naruto — Uzumaki Naruto
Uzumaki Naruto is my lovest boy in naruto , i'm not tired to introduce him so long.
Uzumaki Naruto was born as the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kurama's second jinchūriki, Kushina Uzumaki. Naruto's parents named him after the main character of Jiraiya's first book, thus making the Sannin his godfather.Prior to Naruto's birth, his parents
Naruto is an orphan who, as a newborn, had the dangerous Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within his body by the Fourth Hokage, the leader of Konohagakure's ninja force, at the cost of his own life. Because Naruto is the host of the Demon Fox, the villagers of Konohagakure feel a strong animosity for Naruto. He thus lacked a source of love and attention during his early childhood.Since then, Naruto has commonly made jokes and played pranks to attract attention. Desiring what he lacked in early life, Naruto dreams of becoming Hokage"the village leader"hoping it will bring him the villagers' recognition and respect.In an attempt to become a ninja, Naruto is horrified to learn that the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is sealed inside him, but finds acceptance from his teacher Iruka Umino, whom he views as a father. After learning the powerful move Shadow Clone Technique, which creates physical copies of the user, Naruto becomes a ninja.He joins a ninja group under the leadership of Kakashi Hatake, where Naruto gains the friends he lacked during his childhood. He forms bonds with his two teammates: Sasuke Uchiha, with whom he has a brother-like rivalry; and Sakura Haruno, on whom he has a crush and is committed to anything for her happiness.
While going through an exam to increase his ninja rank, Naruto meets the legendary ninja Jiraiya and learns how to summon toads to aid him in battle and to control part of the Fox's vital energy, the chakra.He later learns the Rasengan, a sphere of chakra for offensive purposes. The exams are interrupted as a result of the invasion of Konohagakure by the criminal Orochimaru and Sunagakure. Shortly afterward, Naruto discovers Akatsuki, a criminal organization that seeks to extract the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox from his body. Though Jiraiya drives them off during this first meeting, Akatsuki still plans to kidnap Naruto. When Sasuke leaves the village to join Orochimaru's forces, Naruto becomes part of a rescue team to retrieve him. Naruto and Sasuke ultimately have a one-on-one battle, though neither can convince himself to finish off the other. The two go their separate ways, but Naruto does not give up on Sasuke, leaving Konohagakure with Jiraiya to prepare himself for his next encounter with Sasuke and Akatsuki.
After his two-and-a-half year training, Naruto returns to Konohagakure, and begins to deal more actively with the Akatsuki threat. He saves Gaara (another host of a tailed beast) from their clutches,and proves instrumental in the downfall of the Akatsuki member Kakuzu.To fight them, Naruto trains with Kakashi to infuse the Rasengan with his own wind-element chakra,resulting in the creation of a powerful technique named Wind Style: Rasen-Shuriken, which cuts anything that is hit.The Fox's influence over him expands to the point where he begins to lose his rationality as more chakra manifests in the form of tails.Still, Naruto dedicates himself to finding and retrieving Sasuke.After learning that Jiraiya has been killed by the Akatsuki leader, Pain, Naruto prepares for a future encounter by learning Senjutsu, a power-enhancing ability derived from frogs and involving the gathering of natural energy.When they finally face off, he defeats Pain and convinces him to leave Akatsuki.When Naruto discovers Sasuke's past role within Akatsuki, he decides to confront Sasuke in battle which could end in both their deaths should Naruto be unable to save him.To prepare himself, he takes full control of the Fox's powers, discovering that the Fourth Hokage was his father. He sealed the Fox inside him so Naruto could use its power to defeat Tobi, Pain's superior who was responsible for the Fox's attack to Konohagakure.He succeeds with help from the soul of his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, which was inside his seal created by the Fourth Hokage.When Naruto learns that all his comrades are battling Akatsuki's army to protect him, he takes Killer Bee (another host of a tailed beast) to join them.

THROWING A PIFFY FIT: Mission HS benefits from Piff's Ping-Pong Pifftacular
Choosy players choose Piff. Even when he goes on a (comic) trash-talk tear.
Yes, a recent celebrity-stuffed table-tennis tourney at the Flamingo's Beach Club Pool — dubbed "Piff's Ping-Pong Pifftacular" — is a generous act of altruism. Paddle-wielding Vegas performers are raising funds for the city's new Mission High School, which enrolls teens recovering from substance addiction.
Yet this pong-a-thon's host — the self-dubbed Piff the Magic Dragon (aka John van der Put) — facetiously comes on like a Ping-Pong King Kong (albeit in a pajama-soft, green-gold-red dragon suit with fluffy feet). Weaving through a burgeoning throng of pong competitors and spectators while wearing his trademark smirk, the star of his own comedy-magic production at the Flamingo manages to be both philanthropic and bombastic in one breath.
"This cause helps young adults who are dealing with their addictions, and it rehabilitates them into life so they can beat their addictions and get an education," Piff says about the laudable Mission High School mission, mischievously adding: "And then I can crush their dreams at Ping-Pong! I'm gonna end some dreams today!"
Sure, it's shtick, but with Piff's every Brit-accented syllable dripping with acerbic edginess, you, well, kinda believe it. However, he's only really taunting his fellow performer-rivals here.
With a 37-student population so far of 9th-to-12th graders, Piff's cause, the Mission High School opened last year at 801 N. Veterans Memorial Drive. Though there are similar schools throughout the country geared exclusively to both teaching traditional curriculums and offering counseling services to students on the road to sobriety, this is the only one in the nation that is publicly funded, courtesy of the Clark County School District.
"Why Ping-Pong?" Piff exclaims when asked why he favors this sport of gentlemanly (more or less) combat to aid the school. "When you see me on the court there will be no further questions!"
Drinking in the surreal scene, it looks like five generations of The Village People squeezed into the club's pool-fronting bar/grill, milling between four Ping-Pong tables.
"Legends in Concert" impersonators rub faux-celeb shoulders with creature-costumed Cirque performers and "Miss Behave" cut-ups. White jump-suited Elvis waves his paddle in competitive preparedness. Hypnotist Anthony Cools is too-cool-for-school in his hipster shades. Melody Sweets sashays around. "Baz" stars are here. "Absinthe" goofballs, too. Tenors of Rock and Human Nature warblers also. Add in the "Inferno" and "Opium" folks, and magic funnyman Mac King and you've got a panoply of Strip productions on hand.
And in the strangest sight (no small feat here) a sexy "X Country" gal in cutoff shorts squares off across the table from Le Bebe Francois — more commonly identified as the big baby from "Mystere," in his man-size bonnet and ginormous diaper (though minus his giant red bouncy ball).
Threading his way through it all is Piff, puckishly dispatching unneeded advice that wafts above the laugh-riddled din: "You hit the ball. Then you hit it back. One of you will win. One of you will lose. It won't be me." Occasionally, he nimbly dodges a Ping-Pong ball playfully tossed at his dragon-headed noggin. Meanwhile, folks amble over to the bar to sip (or guzzle) beverages (adult or otherwise) including energy drinks, wine and nonalcoholic "mocktails" (Red Bull and lemonade).
"Piff is big into Ping-Pong. We moved our Ping-Pong table into our living room the last couple nights, just to practice," says Matt Stabile, co-producer with his wife, Angela, of Piff's production. Also in the Stabiles' stable of shows are the multiple "X" adult revues in town, whose fetching cast members have streamed in too.
"I'm being a team player and supporting our guy, but we're helping the Mission School," he says about the event's beneficiary, several of whose students are here, assisting with scoring. Funds are being raised from the $50 a pop that participants have paid to join in, plus money from other ancillary fees and sales.
"Every town needs a school like this," Stabile says. "It's important to have."
You'll get an amen on that here from Joe Engle, a local electrician who lost his oldest son to a heroin overdose at age 19, nearly seven years ago. Afterward he founded the local chapter of the foundation called There Is No Hero in Heroin, which runs an after-school program at Mission High School.
"We have group meetings, artists come in to teach the kids how to paint, we get a slew of volunteers from the community, singers and songwriters teach them how to play guitar, and they play games," Engle says, praising the school's goals.
"The opioid epidemic is out of control, so cities, states and counties are looking for alternative methods to help combat the disease of addiction," he says. In 2015, a national survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration revealed that 7.8 percent of people age 12 and older had a substance abuse problem during the previous year.
"But the stigma associated with somebody suffering is huge and can be a barrier from them seeking recovery. This school has a loving, nurturing environment that provides recovery support services." Beyond teachers, the school staff encompasses drug and alcohol counselors and a full-time therapist, and programs include 12-step meetings.
"I'm so proud of the Clark County School District for this, it's become a passion of mine," says Sherri Pucci Sosa, the Flamingo's general manager and "Pifftacular" organizer. "We're shocked that so many people wanted to participate in (the tournament). Hopefully, we can grow this into something really big."
Nuzzling Piff's compact co-star, the performing Chihuahua named Mr. Piffles, Jade Simone, the comic-magician's assistant, noted the importance of the giving-back concept.
"As entertainers, we are very blessed to have such a beautiful life every day, coming out onstage, hearing applause from people happy to see us," says Simone, decked out in showgirl finery. "In the Piff show, we get filled up with so much happiness from our audience every night that I feel like I'm bubbling over. I love giving that bubbling over back to someone else."
On this day, that is a Mission: Possible.

The appeal and classiness that you can have on the prom night would not simply rely upon your dress alone. Clearly, you can't be charming as indicated by your date in case you go with a very much utilized down haircut. Shockingly, much the same as the methodology that you encountered before you got your dress, it very well may be amazingly overpowering to pick from the different prom haircuts that you can see on the magazines and destinations on-line.
Prior to perusing any of the hair styles for special occasions, you should first acknowledge what kind of dress you will wear for the prom. In case you have to wear a tube dress, you should need to tie your hair up. Basically take a couple of strands of hair that would uninhibitedly fall on the sides of your face and a little on your neck. Of course, if you would wear a Venus trim dress, you can essentially sensitive contort the lower some bit of your hair and squirt a slight bit of that styling cream, enough to hold the curve for the night.
It's a known fact that kids love to play. If we would all be able to live like kids again where we don't need to stress over anything and could have a fabulous time throughout the day playing with each other. So, our children will be glad if their parents can get some cool kid's furniture for them. Here's a short description on what they comprise of.
Children are very inquisitive in nature. The idea is to give them a chance to play independently with the goal that they could give their creativity a chance to flow uninhibitedly. The best way to do is to get some cool kid's furniture that won't get destroyed easily. During searching for any cool kid's furniture to purchase for your kids, you will need to ensure that they can challenge your kid's imagination. And obviously, they should be amusing to play with not being boring. So, we should to get them their most loved themed furniture based on cartoon characters or their favourite superhero.
While your children may relish playing independently, the parents should also get them a few set of table and chairs to do their homework or some creative works. You will require the table and chairs to be customized to their height and age. So getting a few cool kid's furniture is essential as they can't utilize the normal grown-up furniture. Also, these tables and chairs should have various themes and a variety of hues to include some excitement for the kids when they are utilizing them.
So, if you want your kid to have an entire set of fun and cool kid's furniture, you could think about acquiring as a specific theme. In case that you need them to learn new things, you could consider getting those furniture that are available in number games to understand how to count.
Your children will love the cool kid's furniture that you shall get for them as they could have unlimited hours of fun learning, playing and adapting new things simultaneously. Also, it will add a great deal of creativity and colour to their mundane life at home.

Support Us : firstname.lastname@example.com
In the period from 2002-2005, WPC's activities were focused more on women's economic empowerment with women's groups. WPC worked with a total of 11 community based women's groups. We initiated and supported projects in the areas of skills development (tailoring and handicraft, entrepreneurship and small business development, and basic literacy). We believed that income was essential to women's empowerment at family and community level. However, since 2006 our attention started to shift more and more towards community awareness and advocacy work. Initiatives such as voter's education, civic participation, training of women on the prevention of Postpartum death, and several trainings on sexual and reproductive health and rights were introduced, focusing on issues of women's health, position in the society and participation.
This was the beginning of an important shift in our vision and focus. In 2011 we developed a strategic plan that focused on addressing Gender based violence and sexual and reproductive health and rights. We had realized that whilst many women achieve greater productions and income ownership, without enjoying respect, value and dignity, most may not freely enjoy the benefits from their efforts. Therefore, it is our belief, that in a highly patriarchal and discriminatory society like ours, the struggle for women´s rights, equality and dignity should precede the efforts for economic empowerment. As women, it is important to create a better context that will enable us to enjoy to the fullest the opportunities that exist in the society. Without a receptive and enabling context, all our efforts might end up unrecognized, sabotaged or exploited. Therefore, WPC work builds on the premise that human rights are fundamental to women's welfare.
Help us to contribute to a society that recognizes and respects women's rights and dignity, and upholds equality between women and menDonate Now Join Now

Buzz About You: Bath resident celebrates a century of life
Dec. 10 was a special day for Phoebe Hughes and her family.
Hughes, a resident since 2002 at the Steuben Center For Rehabilitation & Health Care in Bath, turned 100 that day.
Despite her age, Hughes remains extremely active in the community, and has been very instrumental in the planning of new buildings and structures that are in the works at the center.
And she isn't shy either.
"I have been a Western New York gal all my life so the Good Lord has blessed me," Hughes said. "My time here at Steuben Center has allowed me to talk to everyone I know and teach the young staff here."
Hughes was a small business owner of "Phoebe's Country Store" in Bath during the 1970s and '80s. She was also active in the Republican Party, was a former welfare officer and worked for the highway department in Steuben County. Hughes is still an active member of the United Methodist women's group and she loves writing poetry.
Hughes also loves her family and there is plenty of family to love. She has been married three times, has five children, 10 grandchildren, five great grandchildren and four great great grandchildren.
Students visit Bethany Village
Speaking of the elderly, some Horseheads school children had a chance recently to brighten the days of residents at Bethany Village.
Students in Molly Romanski's fifth grade class have been learning about different communities and ways they can have a positive impact or show they care in those communities.
Those students had a chance to show the folks at Bethany Village that they care when several dropped in on the seniors in mid-December.
The fifth graders spent time with the residents in the memory care unit at Bethany. They sang songs, passed out craft items they made themselves, and played a card game with residents called Top It.
Bath Rotary honors tourist booth volunteers
The Bath Rotary Club recently honored the volunteers who manned the tourist booth in Bath, which is co-sponsored by the Central Steuben Chamber of Commerce.
Volunteers included Bath Rotarians Larry Bates, Kathryn Fleischman, Ralph Hager, and Meredith Silvy.
The volunteers greet visitors from Memorial Day to Labor Day at the booth, located at the corner of East Washington and Liberty streets in Bath. They provide information about many local sites, including the Glenn Curtiss Museum, Finger Lakes wineries, Corning Museum of Glass, restaurants, and lodging.
Anyone interested in manning the visitor booth next summer should contact the Central Steuben Chamber of Commerce at 607-776-7122 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Down in the Valley....
Here are some pictures I took of my hometown... Mission, Texas, home of Tom Landry (I always add that last part, in case someone doesn't know)) ...
Here's our house with all the good memories...That tree used to look like a twig standing up.
Here's my home church...
Here's the big mural of Tom Landry ....
Of course, these are amateur photos, taken from our moving car.
Here's the LUAU ...They say the burgers there are as good as ever. We'll have to eat some next time.
You can see the Border theater down the way here. (That is not the original Mission Dry Goods, but I wanted the sign in the picture.)
Here's part of our high school... it used to be so new-looking...
I'll leave you with some palm trees (I love palm trees)...
And yes, the Valley has changed. It's so built up now. When we were living there the population of Mission was 14,000. Now it's over 65,000 (though the city limit sign (which is 10 years old) said 45,000). When the winter tourists get there it triples or quadruples, depending on who you talk to.
And you thought I came from a small town.
(My next post will be on how to be a spouse of a high school reunion attendee.)
(I know you're excited.)

Glad you guys had such a great time at your reunion! I guess the next one will be the fiftieth? And by then Mission will have 100,000 people! Maybe.

Wow! I didn't know there were parts of Texas that remind me of where I went to school in California... ;)
I like your house -- it looks warm and inviting. :)
And I love that things are still a little bit the same. I find that comforting.

I like your new background. It really fits your post today. I'm sure you planned it that way.
I am always amazed at how flat the costal plains area is, and the grasses, trees -- everything is so different from the high plains of Colorado or the Grand Prairie around here.
Loved seeing your old stomping grounds too, especially your childhood home and church. I'm glad you went down there.

How fun!! I love the pictures of your old stomping grounds. I still like to drive by my childhood home, even though it's only been 14 years since we lived there..

Baby Gifts
New Baby ChecklistWritten by Jacey Harmon
Planning for a new baby pretty much starts once you find out a baby is on the way. Everything from the home to the car needs to be updated and "baby-proofed." For parents expecting their first child, all the items needed to care for the baby may seem a little overwhelming. Thankfully, we get some time to prepare for the arrival of the new addition, alleviating some of the stress preparing for a kid may bring.
The amount of items available to care for a baby is vast in numbers. Creating a checklist of necessary items is a great way to wade through all the stuff that's out there. When creating a checklist break down the list into areas such as: kitchen, nursery, bathroom, and car. Segregating the list allows you to focus on each specific area in order to determine what exactly is needed. If you try to write a list without a system you will likely forget some valuable items.
New Baby Checklist
One may want to consider starting the list with items for the nursery. The most obvious item for the nursery is the crib. With the crib, you will need at least a mattress and several pairs of sheets. You may also want to consider getting a mobile or similar item to aid in keeping the baby entertained as well as falling asleep. A changing table is not necessary but it sure comes in handy. A changing table that includes multiple shelves is a great place to store diapers, wipes, clothes, dolls, or whatever needs to be kept in the baby's room.
Many of the things a person will want for the kitchen will likely not be needed until the baby is a little bit older. There are a couple of items that are must haves for new parents. First and foremost a set of feeding bottles is a necessity whether the baby will be breast or formula fed. Cleaning the bottles will become a continuous chore so a bottle and nipple brush as well as a bottle drying rack will be needed. The bottle drying rack isn't exactly a necessity but we had one when our son was born and it was great to have.
As you likely already know, it is the law to have a child properly secured in a child seat. Getting a child seat that can grow with the kid is highly recommended; the seat will be able to switch from a rear facing seat to a forward facing seat when the baby reaches a certain weight. Baby washcloths as well as baby towels are a must for the bathroom. These linen products are designed for a newborn's sensitive skin and are very soft to the touch. These are a few of the items my wife and I used a lot when we had our child, and they should make their way on to any new baby checklist.

Continuing the series of passport portraits in my collection.
Peruse and wonder.
Ruth is a fourteen year old schoolgirl living in Berlin. She has grey-blue eyes and brown hair but the distinguishing feature which is dwelt upon by her passport is that she is Jewish. The front page of her German passport bears the letter 'J' stamped in red ink.
What sacrifices her family had to make one can only imagine, for Ruth was issued her passport on 18 November 1939 complete with a German exit visa permitting her to leave via the Brenner pass to Italy, and a visa to enter Chile.
She crossed into Italy on the following day and embarked from Genoa on the m.s. Augustus, one of Italy's transatlantic liners working the South American route. On 28 December she was examined on board by Jorge Baumann and given permanent residence in Chile.
On its return to Italy, the m.s. Augustus was withdrawn from service and converted into an aircraft carrier for the Italian Navy. In 1944 it was scuttled in Genoa harbour by the Germans.

Background: Since 1996, WCMS Foundation's Project Access® has served the local community as a dedicated network of now more than 700 independent and employed physicians providing free/low cost healthcare to low income, uninsured, under-resourced residents in Buncombe and Madison counties. Project Access® is not health insurance, it is however a way to help our community members stabilize their health so that health insurance is more attainable. This comprehensive network includes primary care physicians/providers (eg, 4 FQHCs, MAHEC), specialists, HCA/Mission Hospital, labs, imaging, physical and occupational therapy, medication/DME funding, local pharmacies, WCMS Interpreter Network, mental health providers, community service navigators, social service agencies, optometrists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and more. WCMSF is a certified application entity for the ACA; we enroll eligible Project Access® patients into the Marketplace so that they have private health insurance. Project Access® been replicated in hundreds of communities across the country.
The network continues to grow; for example, we now screen and refer patients for food security, transportation, housing, employment and interpersonal violence. Patients between the ages of 50-64 are offered free colorectal cancer screening, colonoscopies and treatment via the WNC Colorectal Cancer Screening Initiative.
Future: There have been a number of questions and some confusion about the future of Project Access® now that Mission is part of the HCA system and HCA's new charity care program is in place. HCA and its affiliates in Buncombe County will continue participating in Project Access®. WCMS has been working closely with HCA leadership to ensure that we are on the same page regarding participation, policies, and procedures.
If you have any questions or concerns about Project Access®, please contact Miriam Schwarz, WCMS CEO, at email@example.com.

Remembering Indian Soldiers in WW1: Sharing this Heritage with Hindus and other faith communities
Heritage Lottery Fund Reference number – OH-15-06195
The Palan Foundation is a charitable organisation established in 2013 to offer life-changing opportunities for people to help fulfil their aspirational goals. It has a broad spectrum of charitable aims nurturing on the philosophy of personal, social and economic growth. The Foundation, in particular, pays emphasis to projects related to 'education and the 'younger generation'. Its ethos is to secure opportunities for the future generations by working for and with them. Only by such inclusive partnerships, there is hope for future social and economic wealth for us all.
Palan Foundation has been successful in acquiring Heritage Lottery Funds. A brief overview of the project aims and objectives are below:-
Project Summary
The Indian contribution during WW1 was considerable, but much of the story is missing from the public domain. India provided the largest voluntary force ever assembled in history with around 1.5 million individuals. It further provided over £300 million (today's equivalent of £31 billion) in funds, as well as millions more in food, arms and aid.
This project will highlight the role of Indian Soldiers of all faiths and will share this heritage with Hindus and other less well-known communities to help broaden the engagement and understanding among these communities, as well as within the wider public sphere. It will further help to understand its impact on identity and integration in today's Britain.
Project Description
The heritage focuses on the contribution of Indian soldiers of all faiths during WW1 and sharing this heritage with Hindu and other less well-known faith communities during WW1.Particular emphasis will be on engaging with the younger generation by providing a 'relevancy' framework of how their ancestor's contribution on the world stage impacted the future paths of the two nations in terms of independence, migration and national identity. For example, how after Indian soldier's involvement in East Africa the war was a precursor to many Indians staying on to build new lives and subsequently moving to the United Kingdom. This project will provide an understanding of the contribution of Indian soldiers during WW1 and its subsequent legacy that has helped to shape the modern British identity. This shared history is all the more relevant as in today's multi-faith Britain there are more than a million Hindus, Zoroastrians, Jains and Buddhists that have made the UK their home. The commemorations of WW1 provides a unique opportunity to promote better understanding within these communities by helping to foster long-lasting ties for better cohesion. As yet this story is largely untold. This project has broad objectives and will be delivered through a variety of activities:
These events will be:
In addition to telling the WW1 story, the event will provide these communities a chance to learn about issues of war and non-violence. These topics are particularly relevant to these faiths and will provide insight particularly around how a faith maintains their non-violence principles in a war environment. We will also work with the local museums.
The event at Diwali Festival in Trafalgar Square will bring together all elements of the project and share information about Indian participation in WW1 to a diverse public audience. This event will offer a range of activities relating to WW1 and we will work with museum partners and other relevant HLF funded projects to showcase the work that is being done during this centenary commemoration.
Other aspects of the project will include;-

Cubic Bezier Formula (CSS3 Transitions)
A curve defined by a cubic bezier formula can be thought of as a series of two GPS directions (P1 and P2) to get from a start point (P0) to a finish point (P3):
- Start at P0 going towards P1.
- Arrive at P3, coming from the direction of P2.
This means that depending on the location of P1 and P2, the curve may never pass through either of them, but simply go in their directions while travelling from P0 to P3.
The CSS3 Cubic Bezier formula provides a function where input (i.e. point of time between start and finish) can be turned into output (i.e. value of CSS property at a particular point of time during the transition).
To make things easier, the formula assumes the following presets:
- Time starting point will be 0 on the X axis.
- The current (pre-transition) value of the CSS property being transitioned will be 0 on the Y axis.
- Time ending point will be 1 on the X axis.
- The destination (post-transition) value of the CSS property being transitioned will be 1 on the Y axis.
Since this means that P0 and P3 are preset at 0,0 and 1,1 coordinates, the formula only needs the X and Y coordinates of P1 and P2 as follows:
cubic-bezier(P1x, P1y, P2x, P2y);
Given the formula assumptions above:
- And since a transition cannot exist outside of its own time constraints, the value of the x coordinates can only be from 0 through 1.
- However, since the value of the CSS property being transitioned can be any proper CSS value regardless of the context of time as long as it starts an ends at the pre-transition and post-transition values, the y coordinates can go beyond 0 and 1. A good example of this is where a value such as width goes beyond its post-transition value before the transition finishes, and returns to the post-transition value once the transition finishes, producing a swing effect.
