Thursday night, March 30th, the Acorn Tigers baseball team took on the Caddo Hills Indians.
Kobe Hogan started the game on the mound for the Tigers and retired the first two batters he faced, then following an error, retired the fourth batter of the inning. Keeping the Indians scoreless through one inning.
In the bottom of the first, Acorn's clean-up hitter, Josh Staggs, hit a three-run home run to left center field to give the Tigers an early 3-0 lead after one complete inning.
Caddo scored two runs in the top of the second to narrow down the Tigers lead, but Kobe Hogan ended up striking out the side to end the inning with the score 3-2.
Number two, Lynch, drove in two runs for Acorn in the second on a single to center field. A few plays later, Hendrix scored on an error by the Indians. Jacob Haddox drove in an extra two runs on an RBI triple to left field, and later scored on an error by the third baseman. Logan Frost struck out looking to end the second, but not before the Tigers scored six runs, to extend their lead to 9-2 after two innings.
After walking the first batter of the third inning, Hogan induced a popup to first base, in which the runner was doubled off. Caddo's number eighteen then popped out in foul territory to end the top of the third, with the score 9-2 Acorn.
Acorn's Lynch drove in one more run in the bottom of the third with an RBI single to second base. A couple plays later, Kobe Hogan scored on a dropped third strike by the Indians catcher. Lynch then scored on a passed ball on the next play. After scoring three more runs in the inning, the Tigers led Caddo 12-2 after three innings.
In his fourth inning of work, Hogan only allowed two base runners on a walk and a single to shortstop. Hogan struck out one batter and got two Indians to fly out. Keeping the score 12-2 Acorn.
Logan Frost drew a two-out walk in the bottom of the fourth, and was later drove in on a single to the shortstop by Kobe Hogan. After four complete innings, the Tigers led Caddo by a score of 13-2.
In the top of the fifth, the Indians added on four runs on a few doubles and passed balls. Narrowing Acorn's lead down to 13-6 after four and a half innings.
The Tigers scored one more run in the bottom of the fifth inning, to extend their lead to eight, 14-6 after five complete innings of play.
Caddo scored another three runs in the top of the sixth, tightening the score up at 14-9 heading into the bottom of the sixth.

I know some of you dread Monday morning.
Monday morning is typically when you have voice mails waiting for you about coaching, referee, and parent situations that took place on Saturday. Typically, there is a parent complaining about a coach who has no business coaching. There's a coach complaining about the schedule or some rule interpretation that caused them the game. And there are both parents and coaches complaining about the referees. If you don't have these voice mails waiting for you, surely you have an email waiting for you in your inbox from that one coach. You know who I'm talking about, that one coach who thinks he knows more than you and wants to tell you exactly how you're doing everything wrong.
Sound familiar?
How do you handle this criticism? Do you take it seriously? Do you laugh it off? Do you ignore it? Read this humbling blog entry from Tim Keller on how he handles criticism.

How to Get Started
A lifestyle change to eating plant based whole foods can seem overwhelming without a little guidance. The following advice will help you adapt and find new ways to cook and eat as we guide you on your new dietary journey. The evidence is out there that eating plant based whole foods can heal, cure and restore the body and allow you to have a healthier, happier life.
Your Journey Starts Today
Everyone has a position of where they are in diet and lifestyle and we are all unique. Look at where you are right now and access your habits and beliefs about food. Think about easy changes you can make today that will start your journey of transformation. These can be simple things such as drinking more water and less or no soft drinks, or trading the butter in for olive or coconut oil or cooking without fats.
Center on the Journey of Change
Any change is a process and any process takes time. Consider the Standard American Diet, (SAD) as a starting point and eating plant based whole foods, as an end goal. As you move through the jungle of food choices you will slowly find yourself getting closer to a healthier plant based lifestyle and further from the unhealthy SAD. Plant based whole foods will start to become the norm while refined, processed and animal products will be phased out and become a distant memory.
Total Immersion Brings About Dramatic Changes
If you are trying to reverse chronic disease, the sooner you adopt eating plant based whole foods, the sooner you will get yourself out of the danger zone. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, states that after only 3 weeks of eating plant based whole foods with no added oils, can protect the plaque in vessels from breaking free and becoming potential blockages in your circulatory system. Life and death can be at stake. Alternatively, if you are just looking to adopt a healthier way of eating, any changes you make today will start to affect your health today. Either way, making the commitment to change is crucial.
Start with Adding in Better Foods
We encourage you to start with the additions of healthy plant based foods that are new to your diet. This will ultimately crowd out many unhealthy food choices you have made in the past. Don't think about this as deprivation or having to give up what you eat, but consider it as adding new and different foods to your dietary regimen. When you start eating the more nutritious foods, you will notice how much better you feel after the meal. Plant based cookbooks can help with new ideas, as well as the recipes in our blog posts. Remember though, the food you buy is what you consume, so make smart choices at the grocery store.
Set Goals
Setting goals is an important aspect of any change. Each week write down the goals that move you closer to eating plant based whole foods and the steps you need to take to get there. All steps are progress and small steps count and are important to bring you closer to a healthier lifestyle. Beginning goals may be to buy a plant based cookbook, stock your pantry with some whole grains and leafy greens, or bring a healthy lunch to work.
Reading Labels
Marketers are experts at getting people to believe that their product is worth buying and eating. They go to great lengths to make you believe that some of the worst foods are healthy. Marketers label products going after the latest media hypes to capture the current trends such as "fat free" or "whole grain". It may say "whole grain" on the front of a package, but it is up to you to read the ingredient label to see if a whole grain is actually in the product or if it has been refined and pulverized into a stripped down unhealthy version.
Sodium content is often very high in many pre-packaged foods. As a guideline, the content per serving should never be higher than the calories per serving. Many prepackaged items have more than the entire daily recommendation in just one serving.
Fats can be problematic so it is best to steer clear of foods that have 10 – 20% fat content and especially those with hydrogenation oils and saturated fats. "Low Fat" products often use sugar instead or add other elements that may resemble food but are far from real.
Added sugar is something you need to steer clear of in most products. It simply is not necessary. Fruit juices, especially those from concentrate will often have as much sugar in them as soft drinks. Eight ounces of apple juice has 7 teaspoons of sugar!
When we consume whole foods it supplies our bodies with a bountiful amount of nutrients as we need them. Our bodies know how to break down these whole healthy foods to utilize what it needs at the time. So, as long as you consume a variety of whole foods from all of the different Plant Food and Gratitude groups you should get most of the nutrients you need. Eat a rainbow of foods with lots of variety and your body will thank you for these gifts.
What does eating plant based whole foods look like?
Eat food that looks like how it was grown, before any refinement, enhancement, processing, modifying, coloring, preserving, or genetically altering it to be something else. It's simple, a whole apple, greens from the garden, whole grains from the plant, peas from the pod, etc.
Food Groups
The following show a variety of food groups that are part of a healthy plant based whole foods lifestyle:
Eat Less of or none of the following:
The Integrative Nutrition Plate
The Integrative Nutrition Plate is a model for meal planning created by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. It is similar to the MyPlate model put out by the USDA but with some significant improvements. Getting all the vitamins and nutrients that your body needs is obtained by choosing foods from a variety of whole foods, mostly plant-based. The old adage of eating from the 4 food groups is mimicked in this plate but with a healthier twist and taking into account that healthy nutrition is about more than just the food we put in our mouths. Healthy relationships, energizing activity, a fulfilling career and a sense of spirituality that works for you, are all part of a balanced diet. At least half of every meal should be Fruits and Vegetables which are loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, fiber and fun. Part of your meal should be Whole Grains rather than refined flours. The meat category has been replaced with Protein, indicating that there are many ways to get the protein our bodies need without eating meat. The glass of milk has been replaced by Water which is important for hydration. The addition of Fats and Oils indicate that healthy oils in our diet are healthful and not harmful if cooked with care he addition of Fats and Oils indicate that healthy oils in our diet.
Food IS Medicine.
Instead of relying on pharmaceuticals to take away the ailments caused by years of cheeseburgers and soda induced destruction, eating a diet full of plant based whole foods will create a strong vibrant body fully charged and optimized for what life delivers. Eating plant based whole foods has been shown to:
What are the side effects of eating plant based whole foods?
How will I get enough protein?
Protein is in a lot all foods that we eat. The average recommended intake of protein is 42 grams a day. People who eat a variety of plant based whole foods actually average 70% more protein than they need everyday (over 70 grams). Great plant based sources include:
If I don't eat dairy, how will I get enough calcium?
We have been lead to believe to believe that cow's milk is necessary for a complete diet (3 glasses a day!) and that the best source of calcium is from cow's milk. This information has been heavily marketed by the more powerful than Oz dairy industry. According to Dr. Walter Willett, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the US national recommendation of 1000-1200 mg calcium per day is probably an overestimate and was based on a study in the 1970s that lasted only a few weeks. More recent studies of thousands of postmenopausal women have shown no decrease in fractures in women taking calcium and vitamin D supplements. His recommendation is to shoot for about 500 mg per day which is what the World Health Organization recommends.
Calcium is an important mineral for our bodies. It is critical to the formation of strong teeth and bones, muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and enzyme and hormone secretion. If you eat a variety of plant based whole foods, your calcium intake will be fine without the need for supplements. Here is a list of non dairy sources of calcium:
Will I need to take any supplements?
B12 is a vital nutrient that cannot be obtained sufficiently from today's Plant Food and Gratitude sources, but not for the reason you may think. Vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria found in dirt and because our soils have been depleted due to pesticides, it lacks the proper amounts we need. Furthermore, through the washing process, we wipe our fruits and vegetables clean to eliminate other pathogens which contributes to this nutrient being further depleted. Animals do not naturally contain B12 either, but because they eat plants grown in the dirt or the flesh of other animals, they produce their own B12 from the bacteria in their gut. B12 is a water soluble vitamin so it is not stored in your body and needs to be ingested on a regular basis. It is recommended that you take at least 10 mcg per day in supplement form or foods that are fortified or contain B12 2 times per day.
Ways to get Vitamin B12
Vitamin D plays many roles in health including bone strength, mood, thyroid regulation, calcium absorption, and muscle function. Vitamin D is more of a hormone than a vitamin which our bodies can make, however depending on the season and the latitude of where you live, we often do not make enough and need to get it from other sources. You can have your Vitamin D levels checked by your physician as many people are deficient in Vitamin D, regardless of the diet they are on, especially in climates that are cold and dark in the winter months, have indoor jobs, or have very dark skin. It's important to find ways to get more Vitamin D in your life to promote overall wellness. The current recommendation for vitamin D is 400 IU per day for children and 600 IU adults up to 50 years old, and 700 IU for adults over 70 years old. However, talk with your healthcare practitioner about the amount your body needs if you are deficient.

As former features editor of MEED, Bernadette remains a regular contributor to the title which has been publishing business information on the Middle East since 1957. Aimed at senior managers, directors and board level business people, MEED is a subscription only publication which underpins its reporting with data from the unparalleled MEED Projects database.
Recent reports include analysis on Iran's construction sector, tunnelling throughout the Middle East including Doha's new metro, the executive education market in the Gulf, healthcare spending, investment in Saudi Arabia's ports, power supply and demand in key markets, the potable water challenges of the region and a supplement on wastewater.
In this tunnelling report I spoke to contractors about their experiences of creating tunnels in the Gulf region, which despite its relatively small size in international construction terms, is a global hub for these methods with $245bn in schemes planned or underway. Qatar for example is breaking world records by having the most tunnel boring machines (TBMs) active at once as it seeks to create three new metro lines ahead of the controversial FIFA 2022 World Cup. Qatar Rail told me about their passage to Doha after manufacture by Germany's Herrenknecht and at the time of writing 14 of the 21 had arrived. Saudi Arabia too is pushing on with tunnelling underway for six new metro lines on Riyadh's first mass transit system, the $23bn Riyadh Metro. Three packages have been awarded to three teams to deliver six lines, and 42 per cent (or more than 70 kilometres) of this will be tunnelled.
Microtunnelling too is experiencing a boom and as the name suggests it is used for creating smaller diameter tunnels than those needed for roads and railways making it appropriate for piplines and small tunnels. "The main difference between microtunnelling and using a TBM is that with microtunnelling, you are pushing a pipeline into place behind the microtunnelling machine, but with a TBM, you are building the lining in place behind it," said John Wheeler, general manager at Al-Naboodah Specialist Services, part of the UAE's Al-Naboodah Construction Group.
Taking to contractors was the most interesting part of writing this. Their experiences are a valuable resource for anyone working on this type of project. To be open about the issues some needed to retain anonymity and their accounts which included warnings over high water tables and rushed designs pointed to a single critical piece of advice: Preparation is everything. The better planned the project, the more risk that is removed.
Beware of helicopter Universities that drop troops into the Middle East, charge low fees and promote distance learning, then drop out a few years later because their business models fail. This was one of the more controversial views reported in a series of articles on the region's private education market. While researching the Executive Education Guide 2014 I found that demand remained strong for further education aimed at business executives and some schools were forecasting double digit growth. Flexibility and collaboration were the buzzwords of the moment with schools increasingly seeking to pair up with companies and government organisations to deliver bespoke training for employees.

"The Jon Kittleson Exhibit"
Jon Kittleson's art exhibit includes a painting of his grandfather, the late Sgt. Major Galen Kittleson of Toeterville,. who is credited with performing more prisoner-of-war raids that any other solider. Kittleson helped save 511 prisoners who were on the Bataan Death March in the Philippines in World War II.
Despite multiple physical and health issues, Jon Kittleson continues to share his time, talent and treasures with everyone around him.
Kittleson, originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia, will be exhibiting his original works of art at the Mitchell County Historical Museum beginning this Sunday, June 9, continuing through July 21.
He is the son of Bruce Kittleson of St. Ansgar and grandson of Darlene Kittleson and the late Sgt. Major Galen Kittleson of Toeterville, a highly decorated World War II veteran, who was featured in several national war documentaries.
The exhibit will open with a reception from 1-5 p.m.on Sunday.
He began studying and producing art in 1999, when he was a junior in high school.
"I first discovered my art accidentally in middle school, after sustaining a wrestling injury," he said. "It ended my sports career and left me partially paralyzed on the left side."
Fortunately for Kittleson, he had talented art instructors in high school who helped him develop his interest in art.
After high school, he attended Tidewater Community College where he earned his Associate's Degree in Graphic Arts.
"I believe my art represents the power to overcome any challenge, mental or physical," said Kittleson.
According to Kittleson, his college art history professor described his style as reminiscent of Matisse and Chagall.
"She also described my art as new and bold," he said. "She found my approach to my subjects to be both original and fresh."
His first individual solo art show was at the Virginia Beach Central Library in March of 2004.
There he displayed 14 original pieces.
"I was very blessed to have sold half of my art within the month," he said.
Kittleson moved to St. Ansgar in 2006.
"Art for me is a form of therapy," he said. "I really enjoy creating art.
"I thank the Lord for giving me such talent."
For the past several years, Kittleson has had more health issues.
After making several visits to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., he was diagnosed with a genetic disorder known as Rapid Onset Dystonia Parkinsonism (RDP).
In October 2008, he was forced to leave his job at Grain Millers, Inc. in St. Ansgar for medical reasons.
Since then, he started asking people in the community if they may be interested in having their portrait painted.
"I am volunteering my time at the Good Samaritan Society," said Kittleson. "I try to bring joy to the residents by doing art with them.
"I am focusing more time on creating a name for myself in my community as an artist."
Currently, Kittleson creates with oil pastels and uses colored pencils for his portraits.
"I have started to enjoy working on portraits," he said. "It brings me joy when the picture turns out just like the photograph."
He concluded by saying "other than simply enjoying creating art, I enjoy watching the different stages, from start to finish, that my portraits go through."
The Mitchell County Historical Museum is located in the Cedar River Complex, 809 Sawyer Drive, Osage, Iowa and is open daily from 1-5 p.m. and by appointment.

The Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI) has identified a photo tweeted out by the Taliban that shows Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl posing with a senior member of the Haqqani network in Afghanistan.
MEMRI, a think tank, said the Twitter account @khorasan3, which is associated with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, showed an undated photo Wednesday of an apparently happy Bergdahl posing with Taliban Commander Badruddin Haqqani.
Haqquami, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in August 2012, was the son of Haqqani head Jalaluddin Haqqani. It was not immediately clear when the photo with Bergdaal was taken.
The Idaho native was freed by the Taliban May 31 in a deal struck by the Obama administration in which five senior Taliban officials were released from detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Bergdahl had disappeared from his post in Paktika province in eastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009. Some former members of his unit have said that he left of his own accord.
He has not commented publicly on the circumstances of his disappearance, and the Army has made no charges against him. The Army has said it is investigating Bergdahl's disappearance and capture, but that investigators will not interview him until those helping him recover say it is all right to do so.
The Associated Press contributed reporting to this story.

As always, I'm closing the year out with a summary of my favorite records from the year gone by. The only qualifying factors to make this list are that they must be full-length albums consisting of new material (I have a separate section for EPs and collections of previously released material), with a release date in 2014. Everything I really enjoyed this year that falls outside of those boundaries still gets a mention, just not a ranking.
It was really hard to pick a clear #1 this year. I love the top four albums on this list just about equally. Two are more "baroque" pop records that lean toward the electronic and experimental, and two are more in-your-face rock records. They're the only "A grades" that I gave out this year. Which one is my favorite among them changes based on my mood, so I basically gave the #1 slot to the one I've enjoyed for the largest chunk of the year. I can't imagine very many other people who would ever actually listen to all four of them, let alone like them all, but they all come with my highest recommendations for anyone into the types of music these individual artists are making.

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti June Blog Hop! .
Make sure to check out the Reverse Confetti blog for all the details of this hop and for a full list of inspiration and information! We are celebrating SUMMER this month!!!
I stamped all my popsicles from Hey, Sugar in Versafine Black Onyx Ink on Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper. I loosely colored them all in with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade, and Peacock Feathers and die cut using the coordinating dies. To a white notecard, I added splatters of the same colors. I added my images and a sentiment stamped on the banner die from Flowers for Mom Confetti Cut.
To make a sweet treat to go with my card, I made a gift card tag using the Gift Card Holder Confetti Cut embellishing it the same way as my coordinating card. I added a strip of green cardstock to ground my banner sentiment on my tag. I tied my tag off with hot pink twine and slipped my Cold Stone Creamery gift card inside.
I hope you've enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it's time to hop on over to Melissa Phillip's blog. Here is the full list of participants sharing inspiration:Amy ShefferTrisha Barber

I. Love. Autumn. Bring on the soup. Bring on the sweaters. Bring on fall colors and cozying up. Tomorrow is the big apartment move-in day. I moved up here with my Peace Corps bags and a few boxes, so I'm fairly housewares-less. But right now my dreams are filled with me, on a couch with hot tea, warm bread, and an blanket.
I've done a lot of wandering around in these first couple of weeks in Minneapolis. I've done a lot of sitting in coffee shops, a lot of walking down unknown streets, a lot of wandering into record stores and old-stuff stores and book stores. I've done a lot of wondering at the fall leaves.Seriously, yesterday I just stopped and stared at the ground.
Beautiful. There are reds and yellows and greens, and the wind whips them up and lays them down in brushstrokes. Every boulevard offers fantastic colors.
Yesterday was a bizarrely warm autumn day, perfect for the Armenian church in St. Paul which held a fundraiser festival, cooking lamahjo, kebab, and other delicious Caucasian treats. They lined the space outside with picnic table and cooked up a feast. They set up their foyer as a cafe, shuffling jazzves over hot plates to pour coffee into those familiar tiny cups. An Armenian woman hovered ready for anyone whose coffee grounds had settled, whose fortune awaited a reading.
I did balk a bit when she tried to explain to me how to turn your cup for a coffee-grounds reading. A wave of tiny moments rolled over me, moments when Alvard or Gayane or Serine or so many wonderful tatiks (grandmothers) laughed while I looked into their coffee cups and read their fortunes myself. 'None of these Armenians know,' I thought. Many of them have never been to Armenia. Certainly none know how much I am missing it, how much I wish I could sit with my landdad and play a game of nardi, how much I wish I could grab the pinkies of my co-workers and dance the kochari.
One man at the edge of the church yard sat whittling wooden boxes. A woman asked him a question, and he said, "My english, not good. Wait?"
"Do you speak Armenian," I asked.
"Yes el em khosum hayeren," I said. I also speak Armenian. And there it was, a glimmer I'd been waiting to see. A connection I had so hoped to make on this Autumn afternoon at the Armenian church.
"Du hay es?" he asked me. Are you Armenian? Sweeter words were never spoken. This man was from Yerevan. When I told him that I'd just come from there a few months ago, he laughed, asked me about the city. Another PCV with whom I served in Armenia was there as well, and the three of us talked about the country and settled into this corner of the church yard for a game of nardi. I sat with him for a couple hours, hours that felt like a breath of fresh air.
The man lives in Iowa, so I won't see him soon. But how wonderful to have a small, autumn day, a brief Armenian afternoon.

During the photo shoot to his "Carter 6" album cover, Young Thug made the photographer strip down with him.
If Thugger hadn't stirred up enough drama by naming his debut album Carter 6, before Lil Wayne's Carter 5 has even seen a release date, he continued to cause controversy by posing nude on the album cover, and laying out the album's title in phallic formation over... well, you know where.
Complex tracked down the Carter 6 photographer, Sandy Kim, and asked her about the provocative photo shoot. Apparently, Young Thug wasn't the only one without clothes. Kim, a fan of Thugga's boundary-pushing style and music, wanted to go all out for Thug's debut album, and asked the Atlanta rapper if he was willing to pose naked.
Thug's initial response: "Fuck no, I'm not getting naked, you get naked!" As Kim says, "Artists should totally be down to commit to the vision they're asking for," so she agreed, they both stripped down, and got on with the shoot.
Young Thug is one-of-a-kind, and his debut album promises to be just that.
What do you think of the controversial album cover?
We just broke down Young Thug's most controversial moves. You think his latest stunt belongs in the list?

A BMJ editorial suggested the "widespread non-adherence to clinical guidelines" about in-hospital cardiac arrests should promote "soul-searching". I think something quite different is needed.
First, we already know some of the ways to increase survival. The Get With the Guidelines dataset (just published in JAMA cardiology) has shown that monitoring for interruptions in chest compressions; monthly reviews of cardiac arrests; and adequate resuscitation training can help.
Maybe all UK hospitals do all of these.
But what I didn't see in any of the analyses was any consideration of the patients who have, or might benefit from, a DNACPR (Do Not Attempt CPR) order.
These patients have lower rates of survival, if they do have CPR. Increasing numbers of appropriate DNACPR orders – of course with patient and family consultation – might be one of the many reasons for the encouraging trend over time in CPR survival. But we can't know, because patients with a DNACPR order are ignored in the CPR datasets – and in all other routine data.
For patients with a DNACPR , CPR success isn't about survival. It's about avoiding the "medical battleground" of CPR, and having a natural death, surrounded by loved ones.
Counting this sort of success could be a start towards having more of it.
Of course, the Emergency Care and Treatment Plan currently being consulted on by the Resuscitation Council may help move things forward. But there will still be questions to consider over DNACPR orders.
And unless something is counted, it feels like it doesn't count.
Look here for more doctor-speak stuff in my BMJ Rapid Response. So far, 24 people liked my comment! I'm thrilled!

Donald Trump's state visit should go ahead as planned because there is no advantage in "making it a bigger embarrassment for this country", former Labour MP Glenda Jackson has said.
Downing Street has rejected claims that the Queen has been put in a difficult position because of the invitation.
Oscar-winning actress Jackson, who retired as a Labour MP in 2015 after 23 years in Parliament, said whether Trump is received at Buckingham Palace should not be the issue up for debate.
She told the Press Association: "People already know I'm a Republican. I think the Queen is a very nice woman and has done a marvellous job and I understand the tourist attraction of our Royal Family is very important to the economy, but I really don't think that equates with what the real argument is about.
"We in this country do not believe you can condemn country after country based, presumably, on its national religion and say all of these people are evil and bad and terrorists."
She added: "It (the invitation) is out there now. What is the advantage of making it a bigger embarrassment for this country?
"Let him come and let everybody get on the streets, wave the flags.
"Or it will probably be like it was when (George) Bush came, when there wasn't a single person living in London apparently when the president of the United States came to stay. I can see that happening again."
Theresa May's spokeswoman has said she does not "accept" the view of the former head of the Foreign Office, Lord Ricketts, that things would now be awkward for the monarch due to the controversy which has engulfed the planned visit.
Speaking before she was honoured at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for her first stage role in 25 years, Jackson said she found the travel ban "deeply depressing" and added: "The only thing one can take out of what's been happening over the past couple of days is the true special relationship is between the British people and the American people, who are saying in no uncertain terms to their respective governments 'These aren't our values, this is not what we believe in, think again'.
"Let's hope they will.
"They are not showing any signs of it at the moment but I'm extremely proud of what we have been doing in this country and for American citizens, a country that has always treated me with enormous generosity and kindness and welcoming, to see them turning out on the streets, there is the special relationship, those are the values that matter."
She added: "I would argue that one of things that is really depressing is that at a time of huge fundamental, almost tectonic shifts in how electorates are responding to their political structures, is we seem to have lost the capacity to simply debate with people whose opinions we don't share and who don't share our opinions and the ease with which people opt for being abusive or dismissive is not the way forward."

The city of Visakhapatnam may not be as famous as Vijayawada for its micro, small and medium enterprises, but post the setting up of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and other PSUs, this sector has grown sizeably. But post demonetisation and the implementation of the GST, the performance of this sector has been hit badly.To give a fillip to this sector, the State government is proposing to set up at least one MSME park in each Assembly constituency. It has set up the MSME Development Corporation and has set an ambitious target of setting up around 200 MSME Parks by 2023.According to A. Ramalingeswara Raju, General Manager of the District Industries Centre, the aim is to facilitate setting up of 30,000 MSMEs that will generate around 3 lakh jobs. The investment could be around 45,000 crore.In Visakhapatnam district, the authorities are taking steps to set up at least five parks in the first phase — one each at Narsipatnam, Gurrampalem, P. Anantavaram, Nakkapalli and Atchuthapuram."The existing MSMEs are in the recovery mode, but we are confident that the new units will overcome the teething troubles," he said.Around 2,400 new MSMEs have come up in the district in the last four years in addition to the existing 13,000 units.Mr. Ramalingeswara Raju pointed out that getting land for the parks is a challenge and the department is focussing on availability of government land for the first phase.

Hello my wonderful people. I'm currently in China at the moment mixing a bit of business (visiting Yiwu) with pleasure (Beijing).
As you may or may not be aware, I have decided to ditch corporate life in a bid to focus on other pursuits and build a sustainable family business on Amazon.
I wanted a business where earning potential wasn't capped, it could be operated from anywhere and it gave me the flexibility to focus on other areas in my life like acting and working on my network for creative women – Talent Reel.
Hence, the birth of Aidan Liamsi – a small family business dedicated to women and fitness, health and beauty as well as baby and pet ranges. Watch this space 😉
Now we all know that you can't have a business without any products to sell, therefore, it was time to start getting serious.
I headed out to Yiwu – home of the largest commodity market in the world in the search for our gold. This bustling trade market is home to approximately 76,000 suppliers spread across five districts. It really is phenomenal. Although, there were always lots of people doing the same thing as me, the markets were never ever packed.
I met with three agents to test the water and each day we took to the market and the process of looking, testing and asking questions through the translator became the norm.
By the end of the three days, I knew who I wanted to work with, but whether the relationship develops into a fruitful one is yet to be decided.
The reason being is that Yiwu might not be the right vehicle for me. Don't get me wrong – it's great and I found all the products I wanted, however, some of them just weren't at the right price! Those that could work had other caveats attached.
For example, I want to private label the products but to do this – it typically requires an order of 1,000/2000 pieces which just isn't going to happen for the first order.
The odd supplier who agreed to a smaller production of 300 pieces would have trouble providing me with a branded box even if I provided the design work. They needed a high order quantity to enable a new box to be printed. It was all a bit crazy and there is definitely a missing gap in the market there.
The agents I decided to go with seemed to be quite proactive and advised they could go to another supplier for boxes so it still could work – but, we will see.
The alternative is going back to the drawing board of Ali Baba as the prices seem a lot lower.
My business trip was definitely a great learning experience and nice to make some business contacts.
Some of the things I learnt along the way are:
- Yiwu is great if you want to buy without private labelling (think of Aladdin's cave)
- Yiwu has lots of variety so you really can mix and match
- They don't like giving samples 😦
- If you want to private label, you will need to potentially buy thousands per product
- The Chinese don't like to haggle so you have to ask the translator/agent to ask for lower prices but they don't like doing this
- You can't access Google, YouTube, Facebook (maybe more but that's all I use) in China so get a VPN before you go
- Make sure you ask your agents for references – the good ones should have no problem putting you in touch with one or two of their clients
- Meet with a few different agents so that not all of your eggs are in one basket
After the business trip was over, it was time to fly to Beijing for some pleasure and to see part of the Great Wall of China.
I booked a tour to hike 6km from Jinshanling to Simatai West up hundreds of steep stairs and steep inclines. It was tough in places but extremely worth it. The views were just outstanding.
Overall, I've had a lovely time in China, I have seen some amazing places, eaten beautiful food (hot pots, dumplings and the legendary Beijing duck – yummy!) and learnt a bit more about the culture.
However, I am ready to come home and start working on the next bits for Aidan Liamsi. Being away in Yiwu really helped me cement the product ideas and uncover a few new bits. It's so exciting – I can't wait to tell my family so we can get to work.
A word of warning – if you are thinking about visiting Beijing, make sure you brush up on your Chinese or take some flash cards as hardly anyone speaks English. Which makes it a lot harder to communicate and get around but not impossible! Just call it an adventure and an excuse to learn a new language 😉

India suggests EU to resume stalled FTA negotiations
Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has suggested her European Union counterpart Cecilia Malmström to resume the long-stalled negotiations over the proposed free trade agreement. Sitharaman tweeted yesterday that she suggested chief negotiators should start talks on Ind-EU Broad-based Trade and Investment Agreement (BITA). Both the ministers met on the sidelines of an Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) Ministerial Council Meeting in Paris on Thursday.
The negotiations launched in 2007 for the proposed BTIA have seen many hurdles with both sides having major differences on crucial issues like intellectual property rights, duty cut in automobile and spirits, and liberal visa regime. Before this meeting, senior officials from both the sides had met twice this year to resolve the contentious issues. The pact is aimed at reducing or significantly eliminating tariffs on goods, facilitate trade in services and boost investments between the two sides. The two-way commerce in goods between India and the EU stood at USD 98.5 billion in 2014-15.

Jun 4, 2:27 PM
In Maharashtra, Revenue Minister of the state Eknath Khadse has resigned from the ministry today. However, more details are awaited. Earlier today, Khadse visited Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his residence in Mumbai and held discussion with him.
Earlier the BJP has begun the process to act against Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse, sending emissaries to impress upon him to come clean in a land deal in which he is facing allegations of impropriety. The party also indicated that the row over allegations that he received phone calls from underworld don Dawood Ibrahim too was not handled responsibly.
The last 24 hours saw Khadse making concerted attempts to plead his case with the Central and state leadership to defend himself on the controversies.
Reacting on the resignation of Mr Khadse Maharashtra Congress chief Ashok Chavan told PTI the minister was forced to resign as he was facing serious charges of corruption, Congress today demanded a high level investigation into the allegations against the BJP leader.
Former AAP leader Anjali Damania, who is on a hunger strike demanding Khadse's resignation for the last three days, said this was the initial victory for her after exposing Khadse's wrongdoings.

Once vilified in some quarters for his outspoken stance on civil rights issues, Ali held firm to earn dozens of tributes, lighting the Olympic torch in 1996 in Atlanta and being named a UN messenger of peace in 1998.
He received the highest US civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2005.
Meanwhile condolence messages have been pouring in from around the world. The World Boxing Association has released a statement saying that Mr.Ali was an outstanding committed athlete, who gave the best in the ring, as well as a role model and inspiration for many young people.

With cyber attacks running into the tens of thousands yearly (at a conservative estimate) and the criminals behind them developing their tech skills to increasingly advanced levels, it's no longer a case of "if" your company will become a victim – it's "when".
It seems like every week another big brand makes news headlines because of major disruptions caused by security breaches. Apple, Twitter, PayPal and a host of banks were among those that found their information and systems allegedly compromised by hackers this year alone. And it's virtually guaranteed that 2017 will see a slew of fresh attacks. But this article isn't about fear mongering – it's a discussion of where cyber security is falling short, and what can be done about it.
Failure to detect intruders
Verizon's most recent Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) looks at information security incidents in more than 82 countries, across a wide variety of industries. It shows that 89% of all breaches have a financial or espionage motive and that attackers are getting much faster at compromising their victims. The typical time required to hook into their systems? A day or less (often a matter of seconds). They then lurk in the background performing lateral movements, sometimes for months or even years before taking action and disappearing with the credentials, other data or finances they were targeting. The DBIR indicates that half of all exploitations happen between 10 and 100 days after the initial invasion, with the median around one month.
The issue is that cyber security systems often fail to detect these intruders until it's too late. By the time the attack is noticed, the damage bill is running into the millions, and it may not be possible for the company to ever fully recover. The vast majority of incidents are not even detected by the victims themselves – they are identified by third parties. IT security teams are essentially treading water, reacting to breaches instead of effectively preventing them – and allowing hackers and malicious insiders to stay one step ahead. This has to change.
From a reactive to a proactive approach
It's clear that simply taking steps to secure your data is no longer enough. And while response and recovery plans remain critical, a more comprehensive, integrated strategy that includes a pre-emptive approach to cyber security is needed to protect your company's data – and with it, the future of your business.
Pre-emptive security means putting in place active measures that anticipate threats and repel attacks, based on intelligence and preparation as part of a detection-response doctrine. Cyber security experts sometimes joke that there is an alternative way of warding off attacks – disconnecting from the Internet entirely. Since that is not an actual possibility, we need to install reliable solutions to beat adversaries at their own game. Early detection is key and the ability to respond timeously is fundamental to a defence in depth approach.
Bringing in Breach Detection
More and more, companies are turning to automated cyber security incident response systems to detect and block a host or network-based attacks. Breach Detection from Internet Solutions is one such solution. A kind of honeypot 2.0 (faster, more affordable and much improved), it uses the age-old defensive technique of deception to trap would-be attackers.
The process is simple: you configure a number of devices (perhaps you make one a Windows file server, disguise another as a router, and a few others as Linux web servers), and deploy them throughout your network. They act just like their namesakes – intruders can't tell the difference. When there's any suspicious activity, like a scan for open services across the network, or default passwords being tried against network devices, these devices alert your cyber security staff to the attempted breach, and they can take care of it before any damage can be done. There are zero false positives. Attackers can try to identify the devices, but doing so requires active interrogation – and this sets off an alert. Breach Detection is a detection product that helps you shift your cyber security strategy to one of cyber resilience.
How well protected is your company from cyber attacks? Is your defence strategy mostly reactive or does it include pre-emptive tactics? Use our Cybersecurity fact sheet to find out the benefits of outsourcing your cybersecurity versus managing it in-house.

It's Thursday Feb 7th with just one more day left of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York where only the strong are left standing in this crazed week full of fashion, media and celebrities. I'm in the tent awaiting the publicist for the talented man behind the lens, Mr. Nigel Barker.
America's Next Top Model judge and photographer, Nigel Barker was born in London, England, and got his start in the fashion industry with an appearance on the televised U.K. model search, The Clothes Show in the mid-'80s. After traveling extensively around the globe on popular campaigns he made the move to the other side of the camera and established his own photo studio, Studio NB, which is located in Manhattan.
As I work my way through the intensely roaring crowd I finally come upon his publicist who is sporting a smile although in a bit of a rush. We shake hands and she ushers me into a secured lounge area where the interview is to take place. I saunter in prepared for the interview, I see Nigel chatting casually with group of ladies who seem to be excited by just being in his presence.
Once introduced, I can plainly see the humbleness Nigel exudes along with good spirits.
How are you feeling?
I feel great. I am enjoying all the shows.
I noticed you at the shows and realized that as soon as the first model walks out until the last model ends the show, your eyes light up like a light bulb and you give your undivided attention and really focus on each model. What are you thinking?
Well, I come to these shows by choice, because I want to be here. Out of respect for the designers and models, I give my full attention due to the fact I am very interested in seeing the designers' new lines and to get inspiration. A lot of people come here to just meet celebrities or have an alternative motive. I am here because I love fashion and like to see all aspects of the show, from the lights and music, to the clothes, hair, make-up, and models.
Do you get inspiration from watching the shows?
Absolutely, I get inspired in many different ways, for example just the way a certain model walks could inspire me.
Do you think the pressure to be thin is the same for male models as it is for female models?
Yes, the pressure is the same, but a lot of it has to do with your genes. For some models it may be tough to stay thin and they have to be on a constant diet. But, there are a lot of models out there that genetically have a difficult time putting on weight; you never really hear about that.
You were a model before you became a photographer. Do you feel you are able to express yourself more as a photographer than a model?
Definitely, there is a lot more for me to work with as a photographer.
Before you started modeling you had plans to study medicine, but your mom entered you into a modeling competition and from there your career took off. It's obvious that fame was in the cards for you. Do you ever think if you didn't pursue modeling and stayed with your plans to study medicine, that you would have become a famous doctor that discovered some vaccine for a disease?
Life would have been very different for me if I (had) stayed with medicine. I don't know what I would have become. I was 18 and just took the opportunity that was presented to me. I had a great time modeling. I got to travel the world and meet exciting people and kept my dream alive.
Is there anything else that you want to do creatively?
There are a lot of things I have been thinking about doing and a lot of things I am doing. Right now, for example, I am the creator and executive consultant on new TV show called, The Shot, which airs on VH1.
Also, I've been working with David's Bridal for a few years now shooting their ad campaigns and this year we decided to add to that and do something different. I'll be sharing my prom fashion expertise through red carpet tips for David's Bridal Prom online. We have even created a contest called, David's Bridal "Glamour Girl" contest. One lucky winner will get her "red carpet moment" and be in the lime light as the subject of a celebrity style photo shoot in New York City shot by me. Check it out at, www.davidsprom.com
And, I have always considered it extremely important for people to stand up and make a difference. Canada's commercial seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth. In the past three years, more than one million seals have been killed for their pelts. I am committed to helping save the seals. Do something to stop the senseless slaughter, go to www.bansealtrade.org and sign the petition. In addition, my studio has designed a t-shirt that will also be available soon that really makes a "fashion statement" worthy of the red carpet.
Have you ever thought about having your own clothing line?
Yes, I have thought about having my own clothing line. I am not sure yet, I'll see how things go.
Being in this industry, do you find it hard to make friends?
No, not really, I meet great people everyday.
How do you like being a father?
It's the best thing that has ever happened to me.
How many kids do you have?
I have a two year-old boy named Jack that I adore.
You seem to be a very humble person that really isn't caught up in celebrity frenzy. I would imagine that you come from a very humble family.
I do, I have a very normal down to earth family that I am close to and love.
Is there anything that you have never revealed and would like to share with the readers?
Nigel: (with a smile) I have been waiting for Splash Magazine.
You have great sense of humor. Thank you for your time.
It's was my pleasure, thanks to all the readers.
My impression of Nigel was on point. Leading up to the interview, Nigel and I separately attended the same fashion shows and upon our brief encounter one can see he exudes a very pleasant and inviting vibe while embracing life and the people around him. Throughout the interview he had a smile on his face and when asked about his son I could see the apparent joy he brings him. It's nice to know that this talented photographer is a loving caring husband and father in a world where most men are stifled in expressing their emotions and personal style. Nigel has great confidence and that makes it ok to be a man, husband, and father while enjoying fashion shows and everything that comes along with that: observing models, complementing hair, make-up and the designers clothes while not feeling it takes away from his masculinity. I would like to give a special thanks to his friendly publicist for making the interview possible.
I wish him continued success.

Se usa como Antivírus o popular Avast! CUIDADO!
A última correcção trouxe um erro! Não re-inicie o computador, sem pelo menos antes, seguir as indicações no fórum da Avast!
Vários programas, e até mesmo componentes do M$Windows estão a ser assinalados como tendo um vírus "Win32:Delf-MZG (Trj)"
The recent avast! VPS update has a serious flaw inside it, various files are being marked as "Win32:Delf-MZG (Trj)". Some of the common files being marked as this false positive include Skype and Spybot S&D.
Apart from marking various files as this virus, the new update brought a crippling threat to the windows operating system. Accounts are vague but some are reporting that the new update may hinder the windows operating system's boot.If you have updated avast during the last 48 hours do not restart your computer!This is caused by avast scanning the starting files, during this process it will mark a file as hazardous and will not allow you proceed without aknowledgement, being that this is happening during the time in which windows loads there is no possable way to give aknowledgement to the program therefore putting the computer at a standstill.
1. Besure to determine if your avast has been updated by finding your Spybot S&D folder and scaning the updater.
2. Asuming that it detects it as the false positive, open up msconfig and uncheck avast scripts in the services tab and the startup tab.
2.1 Going to the avast settings (Right click on icon 4th down) then going to the trouble shooting tab.Finally check the second box"Delay of loading of avast" may also work

KUCHING: Double-storey terrace houses in the city can cost over RM1mil in the next five to 10 years if changes are not made to the planning requirement.
Sarawak Housing and Real Estate Developers' Association (Sheda) president Joseph Wong predicted that the lack of affordable housing for the middle-income group would also contribute to the sky-rocketing price of houses.
He said Sarawak was in the severely unaffordable category of Malaysia's housing affordability index, even beating Kuala Lumpur.
"Developers are facing challenges of high cost of labour, land, construction and other compliances.
"The rise in labour cost will double in the next decade as the weak ringgit may deter foreign workers from working here," he said at the opening of the 20th Sheda Property Expo 2017 over the weekend, which saw over 100 booths and more than 70 exhibitors.
Wong said Government policy changes such as the proposed shift of foreign worker levies to employer, as well as prohibition of construction workers to live within the construction sites, could exaggerate the rate of increase in labour cost and house prices.
"Despite the ongoing hurdles, demand for affordable homes remains strong as seen in Property Guru's Affordability Sentiment Index 2016, where 40% of respondents are looking at buying affordable homes priced between RM250,000 and RM350,000.
"In order to overcome the predicament, more affordable housing initiatives from the Government and developers need to be encouraged," Wong said.
He said Sheda had proposed to the state government measures to stabilise housing prices in the state.
This included urging developers to use the Industrialised Building System (IBS) to build affordable housing, reduce cost and speed up constructions.
"While our high-end housing market is over-saturated, we have neglected a huge market – the middle-income group.
"Sheda estimates that about 100,000 houses within the price range of RM250,000 to RM350,000 will be in demand in Sarawak to service the middle-income group," he added.
Sheda had proposed for amendments to the Strata Title Ordinance 1995 and Strata Title Management Act to resolve problems pertaining to issuance of strata title affecting the public and private housing developers.
Wong said the association also wanted more intervention from the state government to introduce eco-friendly houses, such as incorporating solar panels in future residential properties.
Meanwhile, Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian said about 60,000 units of affordable housing for the low-income group was needed in Sarawak.
In light of the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy in London, UK on June 14, Dr Sim said local councils in Kuching, Miri and Sibu had been instructed to carry out checks on all high-rise buildings in their area to ensure they meet Fire and Rescue requirements. These structures include commercial buildings and shopping malls.

DescriptionWhy I did this costume: I had been wanting to do a catgirl cosplay for some time now and it was really hard to make a decision. It was between Asha Clan Clan and Felicia and when it came down to it I picked Felicia. I will probably consider doing another catgirl at some point though. There are so many cute designs and fun characters it can be hard to pick sometimes. I love how big the paws are and the character in general. I mostly played as Felicia in fighting games more than watch the anime itself. I am a fan of puzzle figher and capcom vs marvel.
About this costume: I am glad I revised this costume I am a lot happier with the results. I have been talking about re-doing it again for a really long time but I never end up getting around to it. I really wanted a lot more photos of this costume. A lot of people ask how I get the fur pieces to stick to my body and I use spirit gum. You can buy it online or in costume stores. It stays extremely well and will not fall off. I used a higher quality fur the second time around which looks a lot nicer than the original. The paws are hand-sewn, and I carved the claws. I hand sewed the pads on all the paws and stuffed them. Overall I was really happy with the costume.
Costume History: Originally made in 2004 re-worked in 2005. Re-made in 2008. I plan to also re-work this costume more in the future for a new photo-shoot.

Back in the 19th century, philosopher William Hazlitt stated we are only "imaginatively connected" to our future self whereas we are naturally connected to our past and present self. But what does a deep thinker like Hazlitt have to tell us about today's energy debate?
It has something to do with the fact we unconsciously believe that our future self is someone else, not us; that our grasp on the future is tenuous at best and our motivations are totally rooted in the present: My gas bill is going up by 20 per cent so I am going to switch provider rather than save energy; I have just had a new lawn laid so will use as much tap water as I need to make sure it survives despite the ridiculously dry spring we have just experienced.
Our present self finds it hard to make decisions based on anything other than our immediate needs and wants. In Australia, scientists receive death threats because they advocate a carbon tax; China threatens financial retaliation if the EU includes foreign airlines in its Emissions Trading Scheme…countries, not just individuals, find it hard to look beyond the immediate.
Monday Morning
It is the classic Monday Morning Syndrome: I know I should have ironed a shirt on Sunday evening as I have a busy start to the week, I had plenty of time but couldn't be bothered. Future Me will deal with the problem. On Monday morning I rush around dealing with the issue, making myself late cursing my lack of attention to the problem on Sunday night.
We are collectively leaving the problems on climate change to our future selves. That is bad enough, but we are also leaving them to future generations. Saving a few pounds now to meet the build budget, stores up problems for the future when the building rapidly becomes unfit for purpose. We know what will happen, but leave Future Self to deal with it.
A plumber leaves out an 80p isolating valve and a few years later his successor has to spend three hours trying to isolate the water supply in order to change the washer on a dripping tap. Everything we do now has consequences in the future and those consequences are increasingly frightening.
Germany has announced it will abandon nuclear power and go all out for renewables…but in the meantime that is bound to lead to a significant increase in gas consumption. The UK is decommissioning its nuclear capacity, but nimbyism means every proposed wind or solar farm gets held up by planning red tape.
If you don't want nuclear; or wind; or to pay more; and you don't want the hassle…what do you want? You can't leave everything to Future You and expect to keep the lights on.

Fundraising is a vital importance to the Bassett High School Band. All of the funds necessary to run a band program the size of the Bassett High School Band comes from band member fees, generous donations, and fundraisers. These member fees, donations, and fundraisers pay for items such as competition entry fees, travel, food, lodging, buses, copyright permission to play music, clinician pay, uniforms, props and so much more. All of these types of expenses are incurred by the band boosters as part of the band program. The Bassett Band Booster's budget supports the entire Bassett High School Band program – including the Concert and Symphonic bands, Jazz band, Winter Indoor Percussion, Color Guard,(JV and Varsity) and of course two Marching Bands (Pride and Band of Distinction).
Several types of fundraising opportunities are available and though all fundraisers are voluntary, we encourage participation and support. We are thankful for our volunteers because without them our fundraisers would not be successful. If you would like to volunteer, please contact our Fundraising Team, Christina Moore and Susie Cannady. You can email them at email@example.com or email@example.com.
To help ensure the safety and security of our students, Henry County Public School District requires that all volunteers undergo comprehensive background screenings. Click on the link for more information.
