Xaviera Medina de Albrand profiles the work of Marie Da Silva who lost many of her close family to HIV whilst living in Malawi. Marie's mother provided space in her home to start a small school for students who could not afford private education.
Where once there was a garage or a dinning room, today there is a classroom. Children and new students sat on the floor, with no desks or any type of school furniture. Marie black painted some walls to turn them into blackboards and start classes. "At first the children paid some money for school, but then, in conversations with my mother we thought that if our own orphaned nephew and niece were not paying, so, other children who were orphans too, had not to pay. So the Jacaranda school became fully free ".
Marie also created a foundation to support students who could not afford to eat and highlighted their situation whilst working in New York as a nanny to a well known tv presenter.
The post continues the story of successes from students at both the foundation and the school and how it has provided support for their neighbouring communities

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Ahnentafel Roulette!
Here are the rules for any who wish to join in, as well! You can find the original rules and post >>here<<. :)
1) How old is your great-grandfather now, or how old would he be if he had lived? Divide this number by 4 and round the number off to a whole number. This is your "roulette number."
2) Use your pedigree charts or your family tree genealogy software program to find the person with that number in your ahnentafel (ancestor name list). Who is that person?
3) Tell us three facts about that person with the "roulette number."
4) Write about it in a blog post on your own blog, in a Facebook or Google Plus note or comment, or as a comment on this blog post.
5) If you do not have a person's name for your "roulette number" then spin the wheel again - pick a grandparent, a parent, a favorite aunt or cousin, or even your children!
Here's mine:
My great-grandfather, Alex Gombash, was born on 07 Nov 1896 in Tiszadob, Szabolcs county, Hungary. If he were to be alive today, he would be 114 years old. Divided by four is 28.5, so I'll round up to 29.
My number 29 ancestor is listed as Anna Weishaupt (1867-1951); here is her entry:
29. Anna Weishaupt was born on 06 May 1867 in Graber, Auscha District, Leitmeritz, Bohemia. She was the daughter of Joseph Weishaupt and Maria Anna Kasper. She was married to Johann Phillip Julius "John" Stuempges on 28 Sep 1887 at Newburgh's Corner, La Crosse County, Wisconsin. She died on 11 Jan 1951 at Antigo, Langlade County, Wisconsin. (Picture: Anna Weishaupt with husband John Stuempges and children, circa 1897.)
Three facts about Anna Weishaupt:
1) Anna was an ethnic German from Bohemia, immigrating as a two year old child on 10 Jun 1869 aboard the ship Helvetia.
2) Anna had a total of 11 children, 9 of them living to be adults and have children of their own. If she were to live to see all her grandchildren born, she would have had 28 grandchildren.
3) Anna had diabetes. I don't know which type and the severity of it, though. (I honestly don't know too much about diabetes to begin with). I was told by my great-aunt (sister to my grandmother..granddaughters of Anna), that my great-grandmother (Anna's daughter-in-law) was the family member to give Anna her insulin shots.

The National Front in Bradford in the 70s
In the 1970s, the National Front saw Bradford as a fertile recruiting ground. The far right thought it could benefit from the misery caused by industrial decline coupled with the influx of immigrants from the Commonwealth. There was a plethora of racist and fascist organisations that sprang up around this time including the Bradford based 'British Campaign to Stop Immigration'.
NF activity culminated in a huge stand off between their supporters and anti-fascists in 1976 dubbed the 'Battle of Bradford'. This may have been the party's high water mark in the city.
The NF speaker was their leader John Tyndall – an acid-faced fuhrer who is mercifully no longer with us but was a household name in the late 1970s alongside his tubby fellow leader Martin Webster.

Anna had been working for us for several weeks now, and it just wasn't working out. The signs of team frustration were appearing again, and I felt that I was beginning to make excuses for our new team member. To be effective, management needs the trust of the team.

When the lines between work and social life are blurred, the likelihood of relational dysfunction, substance abuse, or depression among work team members increases.

70 years ago from the borders of the US, Enola Gay carried Little Boy and Fat Man in her belly to unleash an atomic horror of unprecedented scale on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Children, men, women, animals – anything living and non living vaporised within the 4000 degree celsius heat. A blinding flash, a giant fireball, a mushroom shaped cloud, dragging the sun behind it till it touched that earth – created shadows forever. Ghosts etched on walls, 'thermal rays imprinting one person forever on the stone steps of the Sumitomo Bank'. Up to 250,000 died in the initial aftermath with figures rising to 450000 since due to radioactive exposure. A wood and paper city up in flames, its infrastructure destroyed.
Those that survived became the Hibakushi – literally 'explosion-affected people'. As the Hibakusha website states:
"according to the Atomic Bomb Survivors Relief Law, there are certain recognized categories of hibakusha: people exposed directly to the bomb and its immediate aftermath; people exposed within a 2 kilometer radius who entered the sphere of destruction within two weeks of the explosion; people exposed to radioactive fallout generally; and those exposed in utero, whose mothers were pregnant and contaminated in any of these defined categories"
International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) remind the world that with regard to nuclear weapons, "no weapon ever invented can cause so much death and destruction so quickly, on such a catastrophic scale, or such widespread and persisting toxicity in the environment"
As John Pilger stated in his 2008 article,
"the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a criminal act on an epic scale. It was premeditated mass murder that unleashed a weapon of intrinsic criminality. For this reason its apologists have sought refuge in the mythology of the ultimate "good war", whose "ethical bath", as Richard Drayton called it, has allowed the west not only to expiate its bloody imperial past but to promote 60 years of rapacious war, always beneath the shadow of The Bomb."
See "The lies of Hiroshima are the lies of today"

I think that the biggest difficulty while traveling is not knowing the native tounge of every country I visit. I was able to make my way through Germany with my five years of Deutsch klasse on my back. I also picked up some simple Dutch, French, Spanish, and Italian to help me navigate these countries at the bare minimum. Everyday there are new words to learn, and it has become somewhat of a fun game. Trying to guess what signs, menus, and products say is a daily task that has become seamingly easier.
The one thing I can't seem to get a grasp on is the conversation strangers make with me. Whether it's the old woman on the streets of Paris or the guy in the train station of Rotterdam, having someone come up to me and babble on about something that sounds like nonsense is intimidating. Especially when it gets aggressive. I have only been faced with one scary situation in Europe, and one was enough.
The day Rylee (my travel buddy!) and I left France to head to Barcelona, we had about an hour to sit and wait in the train station. From the very second we got to this station we both had a weird feeling about it. We couldn't find a place to sit that felt comfortable and out of the way. Everywhere we went I got the feeling that we shouldn't be there. When we finally found a section of ten seats that cleared out, we lugged our backpacks and bodies over to the bench and sat down. Happy with our seat situation we pulled out our lunches and began to munch and chat away. About fifteen minutes after sitting down a woman came and joined us. With all of the big bags she was carrying she took up five seats across from us and then stood there with her back facing us. I thought it was odd that she would use all the seats for her stuff and not make room for herself, but I ignored it and continued on with my carrot salad. It wasn't until five minutes later that I realized that the woman across from us had sat down and had now proceeded to stare at us. Staring is something I find common in a lot of European cities. Not a rude or judgmental type of stare, but a curious and harmless stare. Except this woman's stare was not harmless. Her eyes were like knifes, sharp and narrow. They pierced right through me, it felt as if she was sending needles into my skin and out the other side. I have been through high school, I know this judgemental stare. So doing the natural thing I pretended to not see her, and just kept on doing what I was doing. She didn't stop. She just kept looking at us with her hollow eyes. Her mouth opened and out poured lightening speed French. Rylee conversed with her in French, explaining how we don't speak the language and asking if she spoke any English. This just seemed to enrage her more. Empathetically apologizing we sat there with fear growing in the air. Just then two children who looked to be about nine and thirteen came over and stood near the woman. She continued to ramble on to them, her voice growing louder. The kids looked at the woman, then looked at us, then back at the woman. Nothing was said as they moved her many bags and sat down next to her. The glair didn't stop and now she was resting her chin on her knee gazing like a panther sneaking up on its pray. As the room got hotter and the tension rose no one did anything. The bystander effect, psychologically people are less likely to intervene in stressful situations when more people are also watching, and people were definitely watching. Now she was yelling and waving her hands up in the air as if to ward us off. She pulled out her money pouch and handed a €20 bill to the children, waving them away. My heart was racing and if it wasn't for the police man eyeing her at the other end of the station I might have gone into panic mode. Just then like an angel of light in a dark forest our friend Jennifer had appeared. She had dropped us off at the train station, and happened to come back to use the restroom.
There was no understanding this woman's chopped up French. There was no communicating or mediating with her. There was only the option to flee the situation. I will never know what it was about Rylee and I that made this woman so upset, but at least there was a lesson to learn and now a story to tell.

Deputy Lieutenants
Deputy Lieutenants come from all walks of life and all parts of the County and are honoured for their contribution to the Nation and/or the County.
The Lord Lieutenant leads this influential network of Deputy Lieutenants and provides the organisation for their individual networks to interlock for the benefit of East Sussex's varied communities.
Their local and specialist knowledge and experience is increasingly being used to positive effect in key sectors ranging from education to youth services, and from business to the rural economy.
They are the eyes and ears of the Lieutenancy in our local communities and liaise closely with the local authorities with whom we have much common cause.
They advise on events potentially warranting Royal visits, on how local people can put forward others suitable for honours or for invitations to Buckingham Palace Garden Parties, and on anniversaries warranting a message from The Queen.
They also advise on how community organisations can gain recognition in The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. This award recognises the vital role played by the thousands of unsung heroes of the voluntary and community world which we in the Lieutenancy believe it is important to celebrate and encourage.
The Lieutenancy operates a community information service (entitled Lieutenancy in the Community) whereupon Deputy Lieutenants will attend a community group meeting, or a school, or a local organisation such as the Rotary or the Women's Institute to explain the history of the Lieutenancy, its relevance to the local community and how it can help you.

The most evident social trend of the 20th century has been consolidation -- multinationalized businesses, globalized politics, homogenized cultures. Amid this bustling bigness and togetherness has been heard a persistent cry of smallness and aloneness, a sense that comforting certainties are being stripped away and each individual left isolated with nameless terrors, deterioration and death. Painters and composers, philosophers and poets have struggled to express this sensibility by reducing their art forms to the essential, scaling ambition down from the eternal to the minimal. Where once creators held that truth was beauty, in these despondent works truth is achingly ugly, beauty...

BRIDGEWATER – For almost the entire first half visiting Elizabeth, a clear underdog, had the look of a team most capable of pulling off an upset.
With just over two minutes to go in the second quarter the Minutemen held host Bridgewater-Raritan to a field goal for its first score and still led the owners of a perfect 10-0 record by four points.
To be ahead that late in the first half was surely a home run for Elizabeth.
However, on first-and-10 from their own 20, the Minutemen turned the ball over on a fumble.
Like good teams do, BR capitalized on the Elizabeth miscue by reaching the end zone for the first time five plays later to take the lead for good.
The Panthers then overcame a blocked punt by Elizabeth that resulted in the Minutemen registering a safety to pull to within one point early in the third quarter.
BR, which was held to minus 15 yards of total offense and no first downs after its first two possessions of the first half, answered by scoring single touchdowns in each of the third and fourth quarters in addition to clamping down Elizabeth's running game.
"That was huge, the way our kids responded after the blocked punt," said BR head coach Scott Bray, now in his 10th season at the helm of the Panthers.
It added up to top-seeded BR downing fifth-seeded Elizabeth 23-9 in Friday night's North 2, Group 5 semifinal played at BR's John Basilone Memorial Field.
BR improved to 11-0 for the second straight year and is headed back to the North 2, Group 5 final the first weekend in December. After never reaching a state championship game, the Panthers have now made two straight.
This is the ninth time BR qualified for the playoffs, with the Panthers still seeking their first state championship in the playoff era.
Elizabeth concluded its 2016 campaign at 5-6. When looking back on this season for the Minutemen it will be noted that they finished a game under .500, yet they were winning the playoff game that led to the state championship game in their section until there was only 36 seconds remaining in the first half.
The key play in the game was Elizabeth's turnover after BR pulled to within 7-3 following a 20-yard field goal from solid senior kicker Justin Davidovicz.
The Minutemen were 2:17 away from taking that 7-3 lead – or even a bigger one – into the locker room at intermission.
However, BR junior linebacker Chike Nwankwo had other ideas when he came upon Elizabeth senior quarterback Jahmin Muse.
Nwankwo was able to wrestle the ball away from Muse while Muse was spinning to gain yardage. Senior free safety Ricky Tate was there to recover the fumble for the Panthers, giving them a first down at the Elizabeth 19 with 2:09 to go in the second quarter.
It was the first of three big plays Tate was the integral player on.
"Chike had him (Muse) from behind," Tate said. "The ball was just there for me to pick up."
"Chike slid over, did his job and made a great tackle," Bray said. "It was such a big play, to continue our momentum into the second half."
Three runs by junior running back David Usewick got the ball to the six. Senior quarterback Nick Attanasio then gained three yards before being stacked up at the three.
BR was pushed back five yards to the eight after being called for illegal procedure. That made it third-and-goal from the eight with 46 seconds remaining before intermission.
On third down, Attanasio scrambled and then rolled left. With a burst of speed, he was just able to sneak into the end zone, stretching the ball slightly pass the pylon for BR's first of three touchdowns.
Instead of being up by four at the half, Elizabeth was now down by three at 10-7, with BR getting the ball to start the second half.
"Once we took the lead at 10-7 we just had to keep going," Tate said.
Elizabeth not only survived BR's first possession of the second half by producing a three-and-out, but the Minutemen were also able to block Davidovicz's punt. Khamran Rodriguez came through the line and batted it cleanly, with the ball then spinning its way into the end zone.
Davidovicz was able to fall on the ball to prevent Elizabeth from scoring a touchdown. Instead, the Minutemen received two points from the safety to get to within one point at 10-9.
Elizabeth had to punt the ball away after its next two possessions, while BR had to following its next.
Then the Panthers took possession at their own 49 with 2:30 to go in the third. The big play in this drive was a 36-yard pass that Tate went up, caught and brought down vs. double, right-side coverage.
On the next play senior running back Matt Alesandro went in from the one to increase BR's slim, one-point advantage to a touchdown now.
On BR's next possession, the game now in the fourth quarter, Usewick found a hole up the middle and raced 41 yards untouched for the final six points of the game. For the first and only time the Panthers were up by two touchdowns and now truly in control with 8:18 to go.
Tate's third big play was an interception at the BR 14 to halt Elizabeth's next possession.
The Minutemen, who received a 66-yard touchdown run down the left side by senior Max Michel midway through the first quarter, threatened to score again late in the fourth, but their drive in BR territory and the game ended when Alesandro sacked Muse for a 10-yard loss.
"Muse is a special player and we had to contain him," Bray said. "No. 4 (Michel) had such a strong game for them on defense the first time we played, he was physically hard to handle."
"We played our hearts out and fought until the end," first-year Elizabeth head coach Jamil Jackson told his team after the game.
Elizabeth battled the entire contest and never thought for one minute that it didn't have what it took to win. Back on Nov. 3 in a Mid-State 38 Conference-crossover game at Elizabeth's Williams Field, BR held on for a 27-21 triumph.
"I'm proud of our kids and where we are at," Bray said. "It feels good.
"We're surprised that we're 11-0, especially playing the teams we do in our conference, and only a fool would not think that at this stage. The kids bought into our defense and, offensively, have done some nice things."
NOTES: BR will next play the winner of today's second N2, G5 semifinal, pitting sixth-seeded Union (5-4) at second-seeded Westfield (9-0). Westfield defeated Union 44-14 in the same seeded and location semifinal stage last year, with the Blue Devils jumping out to a 34-0 lead with still 10 minutes to play in the second quarter.
The teams met most recently for the first time in three years in regular season play back on Oct. 8, also at Westfield's Gary Kehler Stadium. Westfield was a bit less dominant this time, but still, nonetheless, dominant enough in a 28-13 win that included Union 3-0 at the time and Westfield 4-0.
Should Westfield win, it would set up a second consecutive 11-0 vs. 11-0 second-seeded Westfield vs. top-seeded BR sectional final in N2, G5.
BR has won the Mid-State's last two Delaware Division championships, while Westfield has captured he last two Watchung Division crowns.
With Westfield holding on to win last year's final 10-7 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, it was the first state championship in the playoff era for the Blue Devils since 1977.
"We don't care who we play," Bray said. "We're just happy to get another shot and will prepare hard for whoever the team is."

About You
About You
From novice to hard core sailors we'll tailor our sailing and tuition to suit your experience and learning style to help you achieve your sailing goals. We enjoy both cruising and racing; and understand that sailors, or aspiring sailors, shouldn't be restricted or pigeon-holed. Therefore we offer RYA qualifications, but we understand that these will not suit all requirements and so offer the opportunity to gain experience outside the standard RYA course route. We strongly encourage your development through experience, increasing understanding and confidence. We are all learning all the time – even the most experienced!
Your experience
Some sailors are out on the water every week, others haven't stepped onto a boat for years. Everyone learns in slightly different ways and everyone has aspects of sailing they love and others they find difficult. We know a qualified YachtMaster who struggles with some knots. Everyone gets rusty at different rates – some skills need frequent practice while others can be picked-up after years.
What do you want to get out of sailing?
We appreciate that everyone has different reasons for sailing, from beginners seeing if they enjoy it, through to experienced, dedicated cruisers and racers.
Have you got limited time?
If so challenge us to see how we can help!
How do you learn best?
We understand that some people want intense tuition others need less teaching and more time to reason, others need lots of practice.
We will attempt to explain the broad, and sometimes confusing, range of sailing courses available.
Which sailing course is right for me?
So whether you're a novice or a YachtMaster contact us to talk through your sailing aspirations and experience and see what would work for you.
Example Challenges:
- Novice needing to find out if they like sailing, or whether they will just get seasick.
- Skipper who needs to brush-up before a cruising charter.
- Experienced crew that needs to practice some different roles on a boat.
- Rusty skipper who needs to brush up sailing and crew leadership.
- Navigator who needs help moving from paper charts to electronics chartplotting.
- Racer who needs to go faster.
- Experienced sailor getting his work colleagues out on the water.
- Qualified skipper – crewing frequently but unable to practice skipper's skills.
- Coaching and mentoring – we all need support occasionally. We can offer a coaching and mentoring service to crew and skippers as they develop and tune their skills.

Relentless as ever, Your EDM Records has just put out a new record with west coast natives TRILL ZILLA & Sjacked, and bass house fans everywhere are going to love us for this one.
Since catching the wildly fun and relatively new wave that is bass house, we've have had the opportunity to hear some incredibly gnarly tunes, but this one might just take the cake when it comes to 'hectic.' The appeal of this new genre, for me at least, is that it's crazier and harder than deep house, but not so wild or predictable as electro house; all while keeping those crucial kicks and growlers as intact as can possibly be. This is where "Beat Go Down" really shines. It's cray, but not too cray; and its versatility to DJs is something that is quickly going to become apparent as this release makes the rounds this summer. We couldn't be more pleased to have this one (or these two) on our roster as the year moves forward. Grab it below!

They tell me nothing good ever happens after 2 a.m., and I agree. Nothing good ever happens after that time, but surely, sometimes glorious and golden things do. Sometimes in the gray hours, the ones where night bleeds into morning and sin blends into sleep, we are our truest selves. Our most unlatched selves. In the gray hours, we let down the guards and open the gates, reprimanding our inhibitions and shoving them into the corner for a long overdue timeout.

text: 6 Best Medical Credit Cards for 2019 Kat Tretina April 22, 2019 Credit Cards creditcard It's an unfortunate truth that you'll likely end up in the doctor's office or hospital at some point. With that comes hefty medical bills. Even if you have health insurance, you could be on the hook for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, particularly if you have a high deductible. When that happens, one option to cover the cost is to charge your medical expenses to a credit card. However, if you choose to do so, it's important to take into account interest rates and terms. Otherwise, you could end up paying far more than you originally charged in interest fees. We went through dozens of credit cards to find the best cards for medical expenses. Below are our favorite six cards. Best medical-specific credit cards If you know you're going to need a medical procedure, check out medical-specific credit cards. These cards are designed to be only used to pay for medical expenses, so they're limited in use. However, they tend to offer lower interest rates and more generous repayment terms than other credit cards. Three of the best cards are: 1. CareCredit With CareCredit, you can pay for your medical procedure and qualify for a financing term of 6, 12, 18, or 24 months at no interest, as long as you make the minimum payments on time. However, keep in mind that CareCredit is a deferred interest card. That means that if you do not pay off the balance in full by the end of your promotional period, interest is charged from the original purchase date. 2. AccessOne MedCard Depending on how long you need to finance your purchase, you could qualify for 0% APR or a low-interest rate with AccessOne MedCard. Like CareCredit, AccessOne MedCard is a deferred interest card. If you have poor credit, AccessOne MedCard may make sense for you. The company is open to applicants with all credit scores. 3. Wells Fargo Health Advantage The Wells Fargo Health Advantage card is one you apply for directly through your healthcare provider. It offers low APR options, but you should know that it does not offer a 0% APR promotional period like other medical-specific credit cards. Best general credit cards for medical expenses Medical-specific credit cards can be useful, but they have their limitations. If you do not pay off the balance by the end of the promotional period, you could end up paying a fortune in interest charges. If you want to avoid deferred interest charges, or simply want a card that offers more flexibility, check out these other options: The information related to The Chase Freedom Unlimited® credit card has been collected by CreditSoup.com and has not been reviewed or provided by the issuer of this card. 1. Chase Freedom Unlimited® With the Chase Freedom Unlimited® credit card, you can qualify for 0% intro APR for 15 months from accounting opening on new purchases and balance transfers, giving you time to pay off your purchase without worrying about interest fees. After that, a variable APR of 16.49% - 25.24% applies. Plus, you never have to worry about an annual fee with this cash back rewards favorite. You can also earn a $150 bonus after you spend $500 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. Along with this bonus, earn 1.5% cash back on all purchases, so you can even get money back after paying for your medical procedures. Cash Back rewards do not expire as long as your account is open. 2. Capital One® Quicksilver® Cash Rewards Credit Card The Capital One® Quicksilver® Cash Rewards Credit Card gives you 0% APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers. After that, a variable APR of 15.49% - 25.49% applies. Like Chase Freedom Unlimited®, the Capital One® Quicksilver® Cash Rewards card offers 1.5% cash back on all purchases and charges no annual fee. You'll get a one-time $150 signup bonus if you spend $500 within the first three months, helping to offset the cost of your medical expenses. There are also no foreign transaction fees with Quicksilver, so you can even use the card if you travel outside of the country for your medical care should you have a health emergency while traveling or plan to explore medical tourism to save on elective procedures. The information about the HSBC Cash Rewards Mastercard® credit card has been collected independently by CreditSoup.com. The card details have not been reviewed or approved by the card issuer.

The new Xiaomi Mi CC9 PRO is the world's first 108 megapixel smartphone. Equipped with a Snapdragon 730, 6.47 inch FHD+ Amoled Curved Display, 8GB RAM, 128GB ROM, five back cameras with up to 50x zoom and a 32 MP front camera, 5260 mAh battery, 30 Watt Super Charge, 4G LTE and in-display fingerprint sensor.
108 Megapixel Penta camera, AMOLED display, Snapdragon 730, 8GB RAM, 5260 mAh battery and current DxOMark flagship... The Mi CC9 Pro, also known as Xiaomi Mi Note 10 appears like a premium flagship. As a matter of fact, it is a high-end mid-range model in terms of price. Tradingshenzhen is offering it at a reasonable price. Order now!
Yes, the Mi CC9 Pro is really in the mid-range - at least in price. In view of the features, it's a slap on the face for competitors like Samsung, Sony, Apple or Huawei. A glance at the data sheet of the price technical bulwark which is known in China under the name Mi CC9 Pro will instantly convince every potential price-conscious buyer. It is undeniable: The Xiaomi CC9 Pro is the 2019 price-performance winner.
The Mi CC9 Pro is the first mass-produced model to feature the Isocell Bright HMX 108 megapixel sensor developed in collaboration with Samsung. The comparatively gigantic 1/1.33 inch sensor is equipped with a f/1.69 aperture and, due to pixel binning, shoots high-resolution images with a resolution of 27 megapixels. The main sensor is supported by two megapixel telephoto lenses with f/2.0 aperture and 12 and 8 megapixel resolution. Also a 20 Megapixel wide-angle camera with f/2.2 aperture is installed. A macro lens with f/2.4 aperture for close-up shots rounds off the five-megapixel camera. However, a 32 megapixel selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture is used on the front.
The extraordinary camera setup does not only read excellently on the data sheet, but also convinces in actual use. The shots can be taken both during the day and at night, with panoramic views or normal shots at an absolute top level. In the current DxOMark benchmark market, the Mi CC9 Pro came first with 121 points. This is made possible by a successful interaction of hardware and software. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is provided by both the main sensor and the telephoto lens. The Dual Flash Leds allow different tones to be accentuated using soft and hard light. In the video sector, Xiaomi surpasses even the top dog Mate 30 Pro from Huawei with its Budget Phone.
Xiaomi also humiliated its competitors with the display. The elegantly curved and TÜV Rheinland certified screen offers an FHD+ resolution of up to 2340 x 1080 pixels. Therefore, a pixel density of 398 ppi is achieved despite a size of 6.47 inches. Digital content is displayed in razor-sharp resolution. AMOLED technology, on the other hand, guarantees lifelike color reproduction. At the same time, the panel can greatly reduce energy consumption.
The same applies to the core of the smartphone. The Snapdragon 730G Octa Core processor clocks up to 2.2 GHz and is characterized by its low power consumption. With the Adreno 618 GPU, gamers will also get their money's worth. The 8 GB RAM, which is more than generous, effortlessly processes even demanding apps in multitasking. The integrated battery is impressive. With a capacity of 5260 mAH and considering the power-saving components, the Mi CC9 Pro from Xiaomi promises to be a real endurance runner. The gigantic battery can also be charged with up to 30W via the USB-C port.
The Mi CC9 Pro shows no flaws even at second glance. The features will satisfy even the most demanding smartphone users. The complete package can be described as absolutely harmonious and also leaves nothing to be desired. With 128 GB, the ROM is sufficient even for data messies. With Dual SIM, two phone numbers can be managed at the same time. For the Internet, FDD LTE and 4G support is available at high speed. The same applies within local networks. The WLAN standards 802.11a, b, g, n and ac are supported by the CC9 Pro. Smart everyday companions such as fitness trackers or smartwatches can be connected via Bluetooth 5.0. An NFC chip, a 3.5 mm jack port as well as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and A-GPS were also installed.

Party for Socialism and Liberation
|Central Committee[1]
|June 2004[2]
|Split from
|Workers World Party
Revolutionary socialism
|Political position
The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a communist party[3] in the United States established in 2004 after a split in the Workers World Party (WWP).[4]
The PSL is running Gloria La Riva and Leonard Peltier in the 2020 election.[5]
The PSL was formed when the San Francisco branch and several other members left the Workers World Party in June 2004, announcing that "the Workers World Party leadership is no longer capable of fulfilling [the] mission" of building socialism.[4]
The party's goal is to lead a revolution paving the way towards socialism, under which a "new government of working people" would be formed. The PSL proposes many radical changes to be implemented by this government. In the political sphere, all elected representatives should be recallable, securing freedom of speech for the working class (except in the case of xenophobia or bigotry and to prevent re-establishment of the capitalist system) and the elimination of corporate influence from politics. The party's program states: "Achieving fully developed socialism, a goal that has not yet been achieved anywhere, will open the way to communism and the end of class society".[6]
Concerning economics, the PSL would among other measures prohibit the exploitation of labor for private profit, implement a working week of 30 hours and eradicate poverty through the introduction of a basic income guarantee. The PSL would grant the right of self-determination to what it considers oppressed nations of the United States, including "African Americans, Native, Puerto Rican and other Latino national minorities, the Hawaiian nation, Asian, Pacific Islander, Arab, and other oppressed peoples who have experienced oppression as a whole people under capitalism". It would grant independence to Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands and the Mariana Islands, which it considers colonies.
Historically, the PSL has a generally positive view of the Soviet Union, describing the October Revolution as "the single biggest event that shaped global politics in the 20th century". The PSL acknowledges that the New Economic Policy of Vladimir Lenin led "to a re-polarization of social classes, especially in the countryside". The PSL blames the reforms initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev for the fall of the Soviet Union.[7]
The PSL supports Cuba and mourned the death of former Cuban President Fidel Castro.[8] While it has been critical of the Chinese government, the PSL acknowledges China's contributions to socialism and anti-imperialist struggle and it views the Chinese Revolution favorably.[9] The PSL also supports the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela. It has endorsed activities that called for the release of the Cuban Five—deemed political prisoners by supporters—and called for the extradition of Luis Posada Carriles from the United States.[10]
The PSL voiced solidarity with Nepal upon the overthrow of the monarchy and the 2008 election of Pushpa Kamal Dahal.[11]
In the Leninist tradition,[12] the PSL supports the right of nations to self-determination. It has been outspoken in condemning Israel and its role in the Middle East. The PSL led demonstrations against the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in July 2006 and supports the right of return for Palestinians.[13]
The PSL co-operates with other organizations across the United States in the anti-war movement[14] and is a member of the steering committee of the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism Coalition (A.N.S.W.E.R.). As one of the most active members of the coalition, the PSL has gained notice for successfully forging ties with Arab and Muslim American groups such as the Muslim American Society, Al-Awda and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.[15] The PSL advocates for the end of the United States military presence in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria and the closure of all United States foreign military bases.[16]
The party's main publication is the monthly newspaper, Liberation News,[17] which replaced a quarterly magazine, Socialism and Liberation.[18] The PSL outlines its political perspective, including its assessment of the current international and domestic situation, in the pamphlet Who We Are, What We Stand For.[19] The party also owns its own printing company, PSL Publications, through which it has published multiple printed books such as Socialists and War: Two Opposing Trends by members Mazda Majidi and Brian Becker[20] and an e-book which was released through Amazon titled A Woman's Place Is in the Struggle by members Ana Maria Ramirez, Anne Gamboni, Gloria La Riva and Liz Lowengard.[21] The PSL's publication company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Fortunately, I think I picked pretty well. We decided to put several large swatches all over the living/dining room and kitchen to get a better feel of what the colors would look like w/ shadows, natural light, furniture etc.
So far I like what I see.
Here are the kitchen swatches
All colors are from the Martha Stewart Collection at Home Depot.
On the cabinets/wall
dining room swatches
see how blue the current gray (nimbus cloud) looks flanked by the brown-grays?
Living room
Ignore the ghastly Cowboys game on the tube...I did. haha
Above the fireplace
What do you think?
I'm leaning toward the lighter gray (bedford) for the walls and the flagstone for the lower kitchen cabinets. David is worried it's going to be too plain/bland but I promised him this is just one layer of many. And who are we kidding, textiles are what really make a room and those are tbd.
I told him to trust me. He agreed. :)
Good news!! My back is finally healed. I'm still nervous to move like usual but I have little to no pain anymore so I was able to get back in the swing of things at the gym today.
2 weeks of not being able to do much really showed today though. I was tempted to be really discouraged at first but decided progress is progress so I won't despair. I'm still doing good things for my health and my body and that's a win.
Here is today's workout:
30 minutes elliptical
(probably the first time I've ever been on one but I didn't think the high-impact of the treadmill was a good idea)
harder than it looks. I was swwwweating y'all.
and to cool down...
It felt so good.
Afterwards I came home and had a simple but delicious lunch.
Toasted turkey and colby jack sandwich on wheat
with a spinach & romaine salad with cucumbers, celery, and carrots
(and about 1tsp light Italian dressing)
I topped it off with a glass of water
and a
blueberry, strawberry, banana, and chia seed smoothie
(w/ 1Tbsp unflavored whey protein)
So good.
Hope you're all having a great Monday!
The weather here is beautiful and I'm soaking it in...especially after the summer we had.
Heck, last week we even reached 100 degrees one day.
I'm MORE than ready for fall.
What's the weather like where you live today?

From The New Orleans Times-Picayune
The Gulf Coast's resilient spirit is the star of Robin Roberts' Katrina-anniversary ABC special
By: Dave Walker
ABC's "Katrina: 10 Years After the Storm With Robin Roberts," which airs Sunday evening (Aug. 23) on WGNO, played well on Wednesday (Aug. 19) to a highly-invested New Orleans screening audience, many of whom appear in the special. The invited viewers gave it a standing ovation.
Maybe the most moving storyteller in the special doesn't say a word. Unique for broadcast prime time, "Katrina: 10 Years After The Storm" has a haunting original jazz score from a New Orleans composer and performer.
"I love Terence Blanchard — the fact he even took our call," Roberts said. "Flew up to New York. Sat with us before we had anything. We just showed him bits. We showed him some interviews with Syrena, and he was familiar with my story. As we would get segments, we'd send them to him, then he sat with it and created the music around what we were able to show him.
"(The music) is a character in itself. You know how close music came to being a casualty of Katrina, and so I love the fact that we have Terence Blanchard."

A series of workshops to be held in Plymouth County will include classes for parents and social and art groups for teenagers.
Parents of teenagers with Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism now have support closer to home.
A series of workshops for Plymouth County parents and teens who have Aspergerwill be the first of many programs held on the South Shore.
The new series – made possible by a $25,000 grant from the Phillips Foundation to the Asperger's Association of New England – will include classes for parents and social and art groups for teenagers.
Such services were previously unavailable on the South Shore, and many parents traveled to Watertown or Newton, said Catherine Mayes, an advocate with the Asperger's Association of New England who is organizing the classes in Plymouth County.
Mayes, a Marshfield resident and parent of an 18-year-old with Asperger, said parents deserve easy access to programs that help them advocate for their children.
"It's very hard for parents who know their kids are very smart but don't understand why they can't navigate the social world," said Mayes. "We can always learn more."
A group of parents met Thursday at Norwell Public Library for the first local workshop, which focused on advocating for teens within the public school system.
Jean Stern, an Asperger parent and director of children's services at the Asperger's Association of New England, guided parents through getting the most out of schools based on what the law requires.
Workshops will focus on helping children find an appropriate social group, planning for difficult transitions and navigating the law.
