Norwegian buyout firm creates oil service conglomerate | City A.M. HITECVISION, a Norwegian private equity firm focused on the offshore oil and gas industry, yesterday launched new oil service conglomerate Global Maritime Group by merging five companies in its portfolio. The Stavanger-based buyout firm believes that as a group the companies are better positioned to capture a greater share of the market. The largest member of the new group is Global Maritime, a consultant for the offshore and maritime industries. The group also includes Marine Contracting and Deep Sea Installation, engineering companies focused on offloading, transportation and installation of offshore structures; Vryhof Anchors, a supplier of anchors and mooring equipment for large floating structures; and Deep Sea Mooring, a supplier of mooring to E&P companies and drilling operators. Jan Vatsvag, chair of Global Maritime Group, told City A.M.: “The main reason for the merging is to take a larger portion of the sector’s contracts. Together the company is better positioned to capture more of the market than individually. There are areas where we can supply a number of different services to clients, and we know that some of the oil companies prefer to have larger suppliers. With an annual turnover of around £119m, the group will be fully established by 1 January. What effects will the fall of oil prices actually have?

The most exciting and rewarding aspects of Trust Deed Investing is that there are no “Tenants From Hell” that have to be dealt with, the listening to tenant problems, collecting rents, repairs or dealing with contractors, just to name a few. And if the borrower defaults, you take back the property at 60% of the value and gain the equity in the property and repeat the process again. TripleNet Investors prefers to deal only in loans/trust deeds below $200,000 in the residential market. A trust deed investment is where an investor makes or purchases a loan to a borrower which is evidenced by a promissory note. The loan is secured by a deed of trust (i.e. trust deed) that encumbers real property. What is a Private Money Loan? It is a loan made to a real estate investor that is secured by the real estate. In return, these Private Money Loan Investors are given (take) a first or second mortgage that secures their legal interest in the property thus securing their investment. This is also called Hard Money Lending when banks and savings and loans will not make the loan but private investors do. Starting in 1974, TripleNet Investors has been helping professionals and individuals invest internationally with confidence for many years. Basically, when you invest in trust deeds you are becoming the bank/lender. That is to say, you are making money the same way banks make their money. They take in your money and give you 0% to 2% on your deposits and then they lend it out at a 6% to 10% rate giving them a hefty profit even after covering operating costs. What’s more, these loans are collateralized by a promissory note secured by a recorded Deed of Trust. There is certainly a reason why banks make their money lending against collateralized property and not by investing in the stock market. And, the reason is the safety in having a secured investment. We believe that investing in extremely well underwritten First Trust Deeds always makes sense. However, due to the current market place, this makes this investment even more attractive. Restricted lending by banks is creating greater access to high quality borrowers. Our collateral has already been through historic declines and we are only lending at 60% of today’s appraised value. And, the interest rates available today to you as the investor, are far better than what the banks are offering. Our UPS (Unique Selling Proposition) is that we react quickly to loan requests and can underwrite and process a loan in a matter of days unlike a bank that often takes between 45-90 days. In addition, the borrower may not be able to obtain a non-owner occupied property loan due to tightened banking lending policies. Banks primarily use high Loan-To-Value (LTV) ratios on homes. We offer low LTV ratios to our Private Loan Investor to increase security of the loan. Our standard LTV ratios are under 60% of the value of the property securing the loan and frequently as low as 60% to 65%. This means additional security on the investment. For example, if a property is valued at $100,000, you as the Private Loan Investor will never have to loan more than $60,000 to $65,000 dollars on the property. That’s a 60 to 65% loan-to-value ratio. Obviously, this offers a much safer approach from that taken by conventional lenders. It is TripleNet Investors’s considered opinion, that banks have gotten and will keep getting into trouble because they make loans at an 85%, 90%, or even 100% loan-to-value ratio leaving them no equity for transfer costs, if they are ever forced into a position where they have to take back the collateral property. South Africa’s lenders, for the most part, instituted precautionary measures and missed the US home debacle. A trust deed or deed of trust (a.k.a. mortgage) is a document recorded with the county that creates a lien on the property; the lien secures the property as collateral to ensure the borrower’s obligations under the promissory note. A lien priority indicates the order in which the creditors are paid when the assets of a borrower are liquidated; lien holders are paid in the order their claims were filed, starting with the earliest recorded lien. With regard to Trust Deeds, we find and meet with the borrowers, analyze their requirements and balance sheets, originate, underwrite, document, fund, and set-up the servicing of the loans. Additionally, we continue to monitor the performance of the loans and provide guidance to our investors throughout the life of the loan. Our most preferred borrower is the borrower who may have bad credit, is self-employed and prefers not to divulge his assets in any form, but has sufficient cash on hand for the difference in equity. Our primary borrowers are experienced businesses or business people that purchase fixer uppers (rehab properties) well below market value from banks, estates (probate) and other lending institutions, etc. for the express purpose of resale for a profit. They buy these houses or multiple unit buildings at a substantial discount, fix them up in a timely fashion and have an excellent marketing program for resale – usually in a time frame of about 8 months. Most of our borrowers obtain loans on a repeated basis – using TripleNet Investors as their primary source of real estate related acquisition financing. All loans are appraised by an independent OREA licensed appraisal company. We personally sight inspect every single property to assess not only the property physically, but also the neighborhood and community. Our primary concern is to evaluate the marketability of the property. Each loan is covered by a full extended ALTA lenders title policy from Lawyer’s Title, to insure that the title holder/owner has a valid title to the property, is in first lien position and protected against any other title defects. A copy of the preliminary title report will be provided for your records. Borrowers are required to maintain homeowners insurance in an amount to cover the loan and replacement cost of the improvements. You, the lender, are always listed as the loss payee on the insurance policy. All transactions are funded directly to a licensed, bonded and insured title/escrow company such as Lawyer’s Title & Escrow, and your vesting (how title is held) is on each promissory note, personal guarantee, recorded Deed of Trust, or Assignment. All loan payments are made directly to a nationally recognized, insured, bonded, and licensed loan servicing company. Your payments can be automatically deposited into your account and you will receive monthly statements. This is analogous to “clipping coupons”. Have more questions? Please call or email (Find our Contact Info here) at your convenience. There is a 9-10 hour time difference between JHB and California. *This is not an offer to sell securities. Any person, entity, or organization must first be qualified by the company and read all of the offering documents and attest to reading and fully understanding such documents. TripleNet Investors. and its affiliates are not licensed securities dealers or brokers and as such, do not hold themselves to be.

1. In every morning, usually I don’t and don’t want to wake up after the first ring of the alarm. But it’s not a problem for me. I take the first ring as a sign that it’s already Subh and it’s almost the time to actually wake up and start the day! I have set the second ring 15 minutes after the first one. 2. I am easily annoyed by smoker. Ok, to be more specific, to the smoke from the smokers. It can directly affect my mood just right after I smell the smoke, especially when I’m taking my meals because I cannot move from the site right on the spot to avoid from the dangerous smoke. So for smokers, for not inducing temporary hatred from me, avoid your smoke from me ok. I don’t want to be secondary smoker and then get indirect but worse health effect from the toxic smoke that you inhale! 3. I think I am not as soft as what I used to be once upon a time. I think I have changed, improved. I don’t know how people see me, but from my personal view, I think I have reduced the softness in me – the way I speak, the way I walk, the way I think, the way I show myself. Maybe you don’t have any idea how soft I was – it was up to a point where people ask "is that a boy or a girl?" But dear people; don’t simply judge and condemn the softies. They need your guidance to change, to be like you, to be normal. They are challenged by Allah with their own way. I myself never shelled out hundreds of ringgit to get my hair 'rebonded' silky straight. Kudos for having the guts to do what you did. haha...baik lah. No more tagging. I admit that U've a drastic change. Btw, I never saw your condition before :) And If you said that you've changed, I admit it.huhu.

Taylor B. Warner is a highly experienced DUI attorney in Ontario, California and serves all courts in San Bernardino & Riverside Counties. If you or a family member was arrested on suspicion of DUI in the Inland Empire, we can help defend your rights. The DUI defense lawyers at the Law Office of Taylor B. Warner has successfully defended clients against accusations of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and in many cases we are able to get the charges reduced or dismissed completely. Additionally, we have worked with clients facing 2nd or 3rd DUI charges. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a violation of the vehicle code and can result in being charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. Determining whether or not it is a misdemeanor or felony depends on a few factors, including whether or not the defendant has any prior DUI charges, what the blood alcohol content was and if anyone was injured. Once you know the charge against you, preparing an adequate defense is important. Generally, our attorney will represent you at the Department of Motor Vehicles in this instance. The DMV hearing is a separate process. The Department of Motor Vehicles has its own rules, standards and regulations. The only question the DMV is going to determine is whether or not your license should be suspended. However, criminal court is where you will face the criminal charges and the punishment. The criminal process begins with the arraignment. Our Inland Empire DUI defense lawyers can help you or your family member create a strategy for defense of allegations of "Driving Under the Influence" and other criminal charges. If necessary, we can also set up a payment plan for your defense. If you or a family member was arrested in San Bernardino or Riverside Counties, we are familiar with the local courts and judges and can offer the excellent opportunity for a successful conclusion to your case. In California, you only have 10 days to contact the DMV after a DUI arrest to obtain a "Stay" and a hearing, and help preserve your driving privilege if possible. If you were recently arrested and you're within that 10 days, it's critically important that you call the Law Offices of Taylor B. Warner now at 909-466-5575 to schedule a free, no obligation consultation regarding your matter. We can provide you with all of the facts & information and discuss our potential defense strategy based on your circumstances and unique situation at that time.

Long haul flights can either be absolute bliss of your worst nightmare. The hours can seem to drag on forever or go really quickly, the trick is to occupy your time in the right way. A light jacket is the perfect airplane packing essential, as it can get quite chilly when you are up in the air. Try to avoid anything that’s too bulky as it will be annoying to carry after you have reached your destination and you will more than likely overheat. Your jacket can double up as the perfect blanket when you are up in the air, you will inevitably try to nap during your long journey… so you may as well be comfortable when you do so! The Trtl travelling pillow is one of the most favoured travel pillows around, there are lots of colours to choose from, but the premise remains the same… comfort. There is a build in neck support that allows for the perfect napping position whilst travelling. If you want to nap on a long haul flight, then we would recommend giving one of these travelling pillows a try. The worst thing about long haul flights is the boredom and sitting down for so long. Try taking a walk up and down the aisle every few hours to give your legs a stretch. It’s also important to bring along some boredom busters for the journey. Whether you like to get stuck into a good novel, or are more into puzzles, find your niche and run with it. Stock up on snacks, magazines, puzzle books, the works as this will prevent you from succumbing to boredom.

With almost one third of upstate city residents and one half of upstate city families with children under 18 living in poverty, compared with less than 10% of suburban residents and families, it is helpful to understand how their demographic, social and educational characteristics, and how they differ from more affluent residents of the counties surrounding them. The data shows that in important ways, the poor living in upstate cities possess characteristics that make it difficult for them to compete effectively for good jobs. With the exception of Utica, Troy and Schenectady, most upstate city residents who live in poverty identified as members of a minority group in the Census Bureau’s 2013 American Community Survey. Because the residents of communities outside central cities within the county containing the city are overwhelmingly white, it is not surprising that almost 70% to 90% of suburban residents whose income is below the poverty line are white, (not Hispanic or Latino). • People identifying as “black” or “African American” are the largest group of those in poverty living in Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse. • Black or African American residents ranged from 25% to 50% of the population with incomes below poverty level. • Hispanics are the third largest group in poverty in upstate central cities, ranging from 10% to 20% of the population with incomes below the poverty line in most cases. But, when we look at the percentage of people of each race or ethnicity whose income is below poverty level, the picture differs. The data shows that both in upstate cities and in the counties surrounding them, poverty among blacks or African American and Hispanics or Latinos is generally two to three times higher than it is for whites, who are not Hispanic or Latino. More than half of people who identify as black or African American live in poverty in most upstate cities, while nearly half of Latinos and Hispanics are poor. In most cases, the percentage of minority group members living in poverty in suburbs is much lower – about 20% in many cases. For those who identify as white, not Hispanic or Latino, the percentages of people living in poverty are lower – around 20% in cities, and about 5% in suburbs. Residents of upstate cities whose incomes are below the poverty level are more than twice as likely to have only a high school education or less than residents living outside the city who are not below the poverty level. • Overall, 60% or more of residents of upstate cities have a high school diploma or less, while 30% to 40% of residents whose incomes are above the poverty level, living outside central cities, have high school diplomas or less. • The most significant educational difference between upstate central city residents living below the poverty level and residents outside cities whose incomes are above poverty is the percentage of residents who had not completed high school. • Outside all of the upstate central cities, less than 8% of residents had not completed high school, while in central cities, 25% to nearly 40% (in Utica) of residents had not graduated. One of the strongest differences between people in poverty in and not in poverty is found in family structure. • Outside central cities, 80% to 85% of families whose incomes were above the poverty level were married. • For those whose incomes were below the poverty level outside central cities, 60% to 70% had single adult householders. • In central cities, 55% to 70% of families whose incomes were above the poverty level were married. • In contrast, among those whose incomes were below the poverty level living in central cities, between 65% and 90% of families had a single adult householder. • Sixty five to 75% of all families in central cities, with incomes below poverty level, had single adult householders with children below 18 years old. • Most families in poverty with children below 18 years old (85%) were headed by unmarried householders were headed by women. • Single parents were much less likely to head families with children under 18, living above the poverty line. In the suburbs, less than 10% of these families were headed by single parents, while 16% to 25% of families with children under 18 having incomes above the poverty line were headed by single parents. • Most single parent families living above the poverty line (78%) were headed by women. In upstate central cities, less than half of residents sixteen years old or older in poverty worked part-time, or full time in the past twelve months, compared to almost 70% of those living outside central cities and not in poverty. • Less than 10% of residents of central cities who lived in poverty worked full-time, compared with 45% to 50% of those living outside central cities. • Over half of upstate city residents whose incomes were below the poverty level did not work, compared with about 30%, on average, for those not in poverty and living outside cities. The high percentages of minority group members, people with low levels of educational attainment, single parent families, and part-time or no work experience are all significant barriers that have contributed to the high poverty levels found in upstate central cities. Central cities, for more than a century, have been home to the least well off Americans. Exposes of tenement life in the late 19th century described conditions in the slums of American cities. At the same time, through the first half of the 20th Century, cities were diverse. Most urban residents at that time lived within the borders of central cities, so while poverty was present, so was wealth. With the end of the Second World War, the beginnings of suburbanization became evident. Young families seeking to raise families in environments with detached housing and some open space, found opportunities in the new tract developments that sprang up. Since automobile ownership was widespread at the time, the new suburban residents had relatively easy access to jobs located in the central cities. The growth of suburban communities after the mid-20th century has not abated. At the same time, the population of central cities in many places has continued to decline. For example, Syracuse’s population peaked in 1950 at 221,000. In 2010, the city’s population had declined to 145,000. In 1950, the Syracuse metropolitan area had 465,000 residents, increasing to 663,000 in 2010. The city of Rochester declined from 332,000 to 211,000 in the same period, while the Rochester metropolitan area grew from 488,000 to 1,054,000. Poverty is a complex problem. Our economy has failed in recent years to produce enough jobs to meet the supply of low skilled workers, many of whom are concentrated in central cities. This problem is largely a result of two major long term trends. First, globalization has allowed more workers throughout the world to compete for manufacturing jobs that were monopolized in the past by advanced industrial economies, like the United States. While globalization has undoubtedly been beneficial in reducing poverty globally, it has had a significant cost for low skilled American workers who, in the past, had greater opportunity to hold a reasonably well paying manufacturing job. The second trend is the result of the development of information technology and automation. Just as low skilled, comparatively low paid, foreign labor has made it more difficult for low skilled workers in the United States to find well paid manufacturing jobs, technology and automation have reduced their availability. An additional factor that has contributed to the employment difficulties facing low skilled workers is the lingering effect of the severe recession of 2008. While the official unemployment rate has declined to near pre-recession levels, the labor participation rate has not recovered. These trends have contributed to the increasing income inequality in our society, as low skilled workers have relatively high levels of unemployment, and low wage levels for many of those who find work. Though poverty is persistent, evidence based approaches have been successful in reducing poverty levels both in the United States and outside it. These approaches typically have specific goals, good measures of need and success, and a commitment from political leaders to follow through with needed resources over a reasonable period of time. For upstate cities that are hard hit by poverty to see reductions in levels of economic distress among their citizens, a greater recognition of the fact that poverty has become a defining characteristic of central city populations, particularly for families with children, is needed. And, beyond that recognition, realistic, targeted approaches must be created and funded. For many years, concerns about Upstate New York’s relatively slow economic growth have revolved around the idea that the region’s performance has been subpar, and that by altering government policies, by reducing tax burdens, or by spending money on economic development projects, performance could be improved. But these analyses ignore the fact that Upstate’s economic performance is largely the result of its historic industry mix, which emphasized manufacturing in the past, its location and its age. All of these factors have worked to make the region less competitive as a location than it once was. In fact, from the perspective of personal income, upstate metropolitan areas are doing a little better than comparable rust belt cities. Each of the large Upstate metropolitan areas, other than Utica-Rome had a median family income in 2013 that is higher than that of rust belt cities outside New York, on average, or for the United States ($64,719). While residents of Upstate metropolitan areas are doing relatively well, Upstate New York metropolitan areas are distinctive for the amount of economic segregation that exists between the economic fortunes of city residents and those of suburban areas surrounding the cities. In all but one (Albany) Upstate city, incomes of families average a smaller percentage of what suburban families earn than the average of rust belt cities outside New York State. In the most extreme case, the Rochester metropolitan area, city families earn only half of what suburban residents earn. The poor economic condition of Upstate city residents can also be seen by looking at poverty statistics. Other than in the Albany- Schenectady-Troy metropolitan area, Upstate cities have higher percentages of poor people than the rust belt average, with more than 30% of residents living in poverty. In contrast, the percentage of poor people in suburban areas outside cities is very low, well below 10% in all cases except Utica, compared with the rust belt average of 10.5%. Of the 841,636 people who lived in Upstate cities in 2013, 256,973 lived in poverty, while of the 2,037,889 people who lived in the counties outside the central cities, only 160,313 lived in poverty. As a result, the percentage of people in poverty in Syracuse and Schenectady is more than five times higher than in the suburbs, compared with three times higher in rust belt cities outside New York State. The economic condition of families with children in Upstate cities is of even greater concern. In Rochester and Syracuse, nearly half of families with children live in poverty, while in Buffalo, Utica and Troy the percentage of poor families with children is greater than 45%. In contrast, about 10% of families with children in the suburbs around upstate cities were poor. 92,574 of the 198,549 children under 18 living in the upstate cities lived in poverty in 2013. Outside the cities in the surrounding county, 43,808 of the 437,728 children under 18 lived in poverty. The percentage of families with children living in Syracuse, Rochester, Schenectady and Troy was more than five times higher than in the suburbs, compared with a difference of less than three times in rust belt cities outside New York State. Poverty in Upstate cities grew twice as fast as in the nation as whole, and almost five times as fast as in the suburbs around those cities between 1999 and 2013. The percent of families with children living in poverty grew by 7% nationally. But the fortunes of upstate city residents were far more adversely affected by poverty than suburban residents during the period. Poverty in families with children in Upstate suburbs grew by an average of 3.3% during the period, while in Upstate cities, poverty grew by 15.3% on average, growing by 17.5% in Rochester, 18.1% in Syracuse, and 23.9% in Troy. Efforts to help Upstate New York have, in the past, focused on reducing taxes and creating economic development funds to provide resources to promote regional economic growth. Governor Cuomo’s Upstate Revitalization Initiative encourages the development of Regional Economic Development Councils which have been tasked with the development of strategic plans in competitions for state economic development funds. The program could be potentially beneficial to the Upstate region, if projects are chosen well, and implemented as promised. But regional strategies do not focus on the needs of the people of Upstate cities who have been hardest hit by the growth of poverty over the past fifteen years. Cities are home to people who compete least effectively for good jobs, because of weak educational backgrounds, high percentages of single parent households, criminal records, transportation difficulties and the like. For those reasons, traditional economic development or tax incentive strategies are unlikely to significantly benefit them. Instead, state leaders should develop strategies that are designed to directly address the obstacles that prevent city residents from getting good, full time jobs.
With almost one third of upstate city residents and one half of upstate city families with children under 18 living in poverty , compared with less than 10 % of suburban residents and families , it is helpful to understand how their demographic , social and educational characteristics , and how they differ from more affluent residents of the counties surrounding them . The data shows that in important ways , the poor living in upstate cities possess characteristics that make it difficult for them to compete effectively for good jobs . With the exception of Utica , Troy and Schenectady , most upstate city residents who live in poverty identified as members of a minority group in the Census Bureau ’s 2013 American Community Survey . Because the residents of communities outside central cities within the county containing the city are overwhelmingly white , it is not surprising that almost 70 % to 90 % of suburban residents whose income is below the poverty line are white , ( not Hispanic or Latino ) . • People identifying as “ black ” or “ African American ” are the largest group of those in poverty living in Albany , Buffalo , Rochester and Syracuse . • Black or African American residents ranged from 25 % to 50 % of the population with incomes below poverty level . • Hispanics are the third largest group in poverty in upstate central cities , ranging from 10 % to 20 % of the population with incomes below the poverty line in most cases . But , when we look at the percentage of people of each race or ethnicity whose income is below poverty level , the picture differs . The data shows that both in upstate cities and in the counties surrounding them , poverty among blacks or African American and Hispanics or Latinos is generally two to three times higher than it is for whites , who are not Hispanic or Latino . More than half of people who identify as black or African American live in poverty in most upstate cities , while nearly half of Latinos and Hispanics are poor . In most cases , the percentage of minority group members living in poverty in suburbs is much lower – about 20 % in many cases . For those who identify as white , not Hispanic or Latino , the percentages of people living in poverty are lower – around 20 % in cities , and about 5 % in suburbs . Residents of upstate cities whose incomes are below the poverty level are more than twice as likely to have only a high school education or less than residents living outside the city who are not below the poverty level . • Overall , 60 % or more of residents of upstate cities have a high school diploma or less , while 30 % to 40 % of residents whose incomes are above the poverty level , living outside central cities , have high school diplomas or less . • The most significant educational difference between upstate central city residents living below the poverty level and residents outside cities whose incomes are above poverty is the percentage of residents who had not completed high school . • Outside all of the upstate central cities , less than 8 % of residents had not completed high school , while in central cities , 25 % to nearly 40 % ( in Utica ) of residents had not graduated . One of the strongest differences between people in poverty in and not in poverty is found in family structure . • Outside central cities , 80 % to 85 % of families whose incomes were above the poverty level were married . • For those whose incomes were below the poverty level outside central cities , 60 % to 70 % had single adult householders . • In central cities , 55 % to 70 % of families whose incomes were above the poverty level were married . • In contrast , among those whose incomes were below the poverty level living in central cities , between 65 % and 90 % of families had a single adult householder . • Sixty five to 75 % of all families in central cities , with incomes below poverty level , had single adult householders with children below 18 years old . • Most families in poverty with children below 18 years old ( 85 % ) were headed by unmarried householders were headed by women . • Single parents were much less likely to head families with children under 18 , living above the poverty line . In the suburbs , less than 10 % of these families were headed by single parents , while 16 % to 25 % of families with children under 18 having incomes above the poverty line were headed by single parents . • Most single parent families living above the poverty line ( 78 % ) were headed by women . In upstate central cities , less than half of residents sixteen years old or older in poverty worked part - time , or full time in the past twelve months , compared to almost 70 % of those living outside central cities and not in poverty . • Less than 10 % of residents of central cities who lived in poverty worked full - time , compared with 45 % to 50 % of those living outside central cities . • Over half of upstate city residents whose incomes were below the poverty level did not work , compared with about 30 % , on average , for those not in poverty and living outside cities . The high percentages of minority group members , people with low levels of educational attainment , single parent families , and part - time or no work experience are all significant barriers that have contributed to the high poverty levels found in upstate central cities . Central cities , for more than a century , have been home to the least well off Americans . Exposes of tenement life in the late 19th century described conditions in the slums of American cities . At the same time , through the first half of the 20th Century , cities were diverse . Most urban residents at that time lived within the borders of central cities , so while poverty was present , so was wealth . With the end of the Second World War , the beginnings of suburbanization became evident . Young families seeking to raise families in environments with detached housing and some open space , found opportunities in the new tract developments that sprang up . Since automobile ownership was widespread at the time , the new suburban residents had relatively easy access to jobs located in the central cities . The growth of suburban communities after the mid-20th century has not abated . At the same time , the population of central cities in many places has continued to decline . For example , Syracuse ’s population peaked in 1950 at 221,000 . In 2010 , the city ’s population had declined to 145,000 . In 1950 , the Syracuse metropolitan area had 465,000 residents , increasing to 663,000 in 2010 . The city of Rochester declined from 332,000 to 211,000 in the same period , while the Rochester metropolitan area grew from 488,000 to 1,054,000 . Poverty is a complex problem . Our economy has failed in recent years to produce enough jobs to meet the supply of low skilled workers , many of whom are concentrated in central cities . This problem is largely a result of two major long term trends . First , globalization has allowed more workers throughout the world to compete for manufacturing jobs that were monopolized in the past by advanced industrial economies , like the United States . While globalization has undoubtedly been beneficial in reducing poverty globally , it has had a significant cost for low skilled American workers who , in the past , had greater opportunity to hold a reasonably well paying manufacturing job . The second trend is the result of the development of information technology and automation . Just as low skilled , comparatively low paid , foreign labor has made it more difficult for low skilled workers in the United States to find well paid manufacturing jobs , technology and automation have reduced their availability . An additional factor that has contributed to the employment difficulties facing low skilled workers is the lingering effect of the severe recession of 2008 . While the official unemployment rate has declined to near pre - recession levels , the labor participation rate has not recovered . These trends have contributed to the increasing income inequality in our society , as low skilled workers have relatively high levels of unemployment , and low wage levels for many of those who find work . Though poverty is persistent , evidence based approaches have been successful in reducing poverty levels both in the United States and outside it . These approaches typically have specific goals , good measures of need and success , and a commitment from political leaders to follow through with needed resources over a reasonable period of time . For upstate cities that are hard hit by poverty to see reductions in levels of economic distress among their citizens , a greater recognition of the fact that poverty has become a defining characteristic of central city populations , particularly for families with children , is needed . And , beyond that recognition , realistic , targeted approaches must be created and funded . For many years , concerns about Upstate New York ’s relatively slow economic growth have revolved around the idea that the region ’s performance has been subpar , and that by altering government policies , by reducing tax burdens , or by spending money on economic development projects , performance could be improved . But these analyses ignore the fact that Upstate ’s economic performance is largely the result of its historic industry mix , which emphasized manufacturing in the past , its location and its age . All of these factors have worked to make the region less competitive as a location than it once was . In fact , from the perspective of personal income , upstate metropolitan areas are doing a little better than comparable rust belt cities . Each of the large Upstate metropolitan areas , other than Utica - Rome had a median family income in 2013 that is higher than that of rust belt cities outside New York , on average , or for the United States ( $ 64,719 ) . While residents of Upstate metropolitan areas are doing relatively well , Upstate New York metropolitan areas are distinctive for the amount of economic segregation that exists between the economic fortunes of city residents and those of suburban areas surrounding the cities . In all but one ( Albany ) Upstate city , incomes of families average a smaller percentage of what suburban families earn than the average of rust belt cities outside New York State . In the most extreme case , the Rochester metropolitan area , city families earn only half of what suburban residents earn . The poor economic condition of Upstate city residents can also be seen by looking at poverty statistics . Other than in the Albany- Schenectady - Troy metropolitan area , Upstate cities have higher percentages of poor people than the rust belt average , with more than 30 % of residents living in poverty . In contrast , the percentage of poor people in suburban areas outside cities is very low , well below 10 % in all cases except Utica , compared with the rust belt average of 10.5 % . Of the 841,636 people who lived in Upstate cities in 2013 , 256,973 lived in poverty , while of the 2,037,889 people who lived in the counties outside the central cities , only 160,313 lived in poverty . As a result , the percentage of people in poverty in Syracuse and Schenectady is more than five times higher than in the suburbs , compared with three times higher in rust belt cities outside New York State . The economic condition of families with children in Upstate cities is of even greater concern . In Rochester and Syracuse , nearly half of families with children live in poverty , while in Buffalo , Utica and Troy the percentage of poor families with children is greater than 45 % . In contrast , about 10 % of families with children in the suburbs around upstate cities were poor . 92,574 of the 198,549 children under 18 living in the upstate cities lived in poverty in 2013 .

Forget the war in Iraq, the war on terror or any other war against which Connecticut citizens are said to have voted by defeating Joe Lieberman and nominating Ned Lamont for the U.S. Senate. The operative war for American citizens is something closer to home -- a war of independence from the bickering partisans who have made political life in America a childish and tedious exercise. Democrats aren't wrong when they say that the Lamont victory was a defining moment. It defined the Democratic Party as a vigorous, motivated, organized force that is . . . completely out of touch with mainstream America. Don't get me wrong. Lamont is a perfectly respectable candidate -- well-spoken, attractive, gracious and rich. What's not to like? And millions of Americans of every political stripe are disgusted with the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq war. But what happened in Connecticut allowed the rest of the country a close glimpse of what the Democratic Party has become -- a ruthless machine of the far left, fueled by left-wing blogs and personified by the stubbornly adolescent Michael Moore. What else can one call the message now being telegraphed to Democratic leaders? You either stand with us against the war in Iraq, or we take you down. The morning after Lamont's victory, for instance, Moore posted a note on his Web site to Democratic candidates that is a threat without the veil. He specifically targeted Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and John Edwards, all likely presidential candidates in '08. Noting that nearly every Democrat planning to run for president had voted for or supported the war, Moore said, "we are going to make sure they pay for that mistake. Payback time started last night." Even though both Kerry and Edwards have changed their minds and are now anti-war, that's too late for Moore, who wrote: "Their massive error in judgment is, sadly, proof that they are not fit for the job. They sided with Bush, and for that, they may never enter the promised land." To Clinton, he spoke directly: "I'm here to tell you that you will never make it through the Democratic primaries unless you start now by strongly opposing the war. It is your only hope." As for the rest, "To every Democratic Senator and Congressman who continues to back Bush's War, allow me to inform you that your days in elective office are now numbered. Myself and tens of millions of citizens are going to work hard to actively remove you from any position of power." Moore's manifesto, through which he may have lost a few grammarians, is straight out of Stalin's playbook under "P" for purge. Like Stalin, the operatives who ousted Lieberman are determined to remove dissidents from The Party. Clinton, among others, snapped to. Looking grim before television cameras, she vowed her allegiance to the party, promising to support Lamont in the general election against Lieberman, who is running as an independent. And though Clinton has resisted calls for a timetable to withdraw troops from Iraq, she recently hammered Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in an apparent attempt to distance herself from the administration. Kerry and Edwards similarly have reiterated their party allegiance. Genuflection noted. Flash to Connecticut immediately after the count, and Lamont's victory photo tells the rest of the story. There they were, those two perennial groupies to irrelevancy, the twin reverends Sharpton and Jackson. Heaven forbid a Democrat should give an acceptance speech without their pandered presence. Lieberman -- admired by centrists and conservatives -- promises to stay his own course as a nonpartisan independent. His decision may be viewed as a blasphemous, punishable offense by the MoveOn/Moore wing of his party, but he's hitting a note that rings true for the times. The extremes of both parties -- whether the Michael Moore left or Pat Robertson right -- have had their day, and most sensible Americans have had enough of both. The independent candidate, who puts state and country above party, may be the right candidate in this climate, while the Democratic Party -- now fully revealed as a radical, anti-war, far-left party -- may have written its own suicide note. Working title: When Hari Met Kari.

As you’ve probably already heard, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently made an announcement declaring the Zika virus to be a global health emergency. Where did it come from? And do the millions of genetically modified mosquitoes that have been released in these areas have anything to do with it? [I haven't yet been able to find the patent for the Zika Virus, but it's fact that the Rockefeller Foundation is responsible for isolating the virus, which can now be purchased online]. Zika is a flavivirus, which is pronounced a bit a like flavor. Flay-v-virus. Most viruses in this family are carried by arthropods — mosquitoes and ticks. We’ve known about Zika virus since at least 1947, when researchers from the Rockefeller Foundation put a rhesus monkey in a cage in the middle of Zika Forest of Uganda. The team was conducting surveillance for yellow fever. But “Rhesus 766” would ultimately become the first known carrier of Zika virus. (It remains unconfirmed if monkeys or other animals are consistent carriers — or reservoirs — for the disease).

If you think about it, with millions of mosquitoes released, we are still talking about thousands of mosquitoes that can bite. Estimates of genetically modified insects that have been released into the environment are between 50-100 million. What about the environmental health impacts report?

Nowadays, unlike the past, it is no longer hard for anyone to get their hands on their dream knife. Not to mention the fact that one no longer has to worry about having to shell out an excessive amount of money for the knife since rates across the board are a lot more reasonable now. Due to this, there has been a surge of people who have gotten into the knife collecting and buying business. Even though it has always been a niche market, there is little doubt of the fact that people have made it a lot more popular. However, what a lot of people still fail to see is the fact that when it comes down to sheer artistic quality and elegance, there simply aren’t that many options for one to choose from due to the lack of established and professional knife services out there. When it comes to fixed blade knives, there are a great many options to choose from since they are designed for a large variety of different applications. Even few types of hunting knives fall into the category of a fixed blade knife including dive knives, boot knives, throwing knives, survival knives and combat knives. After all, the fact that a lot of people forget about is that with a fixed knife, one does not have to worry about much wear and tear in terms of any kind of damage. Since the blade is fixed, rest assured that it is as strong as it can be, unlike other types of knives where its strength is sometimes the doubtful factor. Be it a fixed blade knife in the uk or anywhere else, for that matter. A lot of people blindly trust any knife service that they come across and that is precisely the spot where things tend to go wrong. It may be concerning some of the alleged fixed blade knives in the uk, but after a couple of months, things are not holding up to scrutiny when it comes to the aspect of quality because one has not done their homework well enough in looking for a reputed service. Well, we at Perkin Knives are here to save the day for you in every possible way across the board. Whatever may be the purpose of the knife that you are looking for, rest assured that we will have the perfect model for you. The only thing left for you to do is give us a call as soon as possible and we will sort things out for you at the very earliest.

Boyd was a versatile athlete in college (track & field and boxing as well as football) and was the NCAA champion in the 100-yard dash as a senior. Undrafted by the NFL, he signed with the Rams in 1950 and was a backup among a talented group of receivers during his first two seasons, catching a total of 18 passes for 348 yards (19.3 avg.) and five touchdowns. After missing the ’52 season due to military service, Boyd broke out in 1953 with 24 pass receptions for 548 yards and a league-leading 22.8 yards per catch. Rams went 6-5-1 to finish fourth in the NFL Western Conference while leading the league in total yards (5187). Boyd’s production dropped in 1955 as he missed five games with a knee injury, ending up with just 22 catches for 383 yards (17.4 avg.) and three touchdowns. He played two more seasons, grabbing 30 passes for 586 yards (19.5 avg.) and 7 TDs in ’56 and 29 for 534 yards (18.4 avg.) in 1957. Overall, Boyd caught 176 passes for 3611 yards (20.5 avg.) and 28 touchdowns over the course of seven seasons and 79 games, all with the Rams. Noteworthy for the speed he brought to LA’s passing attack, the 1954 season was the only one in which Boyd received All-NFL and Pro Bowl honors. The Orlando Renegades of the United States Football League were hoping to build off of their first win of the season the previous week as they played the Arizona Outlaws on April 14, 1985. The Renegades, coached by Lee Corso, were the relocated Washington Federals, a club that had gone a combined 7-29 in two USFL seasons, and losing the first six games of their third campaign promised only more disappointment. QB Reggie Collier (pictured above) was highly mobile as well as an able passer and WR Joey Walters was a quality receiver. But the Renegades were held back by having the league’s poorest defense. Arizona was a combination of the previous year’s Arizona Wranglers and Oklahoma Outlaws, coached by Frank Kush, formerly of Arizona State. Veteran QB Doug Williams was a capable passer and also had a good target in WR Alphonso Williams. The roster contained several holdover veterans from the Wranglers team that had reached the 1984 USFL title game and the club was off to a respectable 4-3 start. There were 32,169 fans in attendance on a hundred-degree day at Sun Devil Stadium. It was not a promising beginning for the Renegades when FB William Miller was lost to a knee injury on the opening kickoff. But the visitors scored first during the opening period after DT Ed McAleney recovered a fumble by the Outlaws at the Arizona 46. Shortly thereafter, Reggie Collier rolled to his right and threw long to WR Jackie Flowers for a 38-yard touchdown. Jeff Brockhaus added the extra point. Before the first quarter was over, Orlando got another break when FB Rickey Claitt grabbed a deflected Collier pass and gained 31 yards. On the next play, RB Curtis Bledsoe, running to his left, went 19 yards for a TD and Brockhaus again converted. Down by 14-0, the home team narrowed the score in the second quarter. A short Arizona punt hit WR Jeff Smith of the Renegades and was recovered by the Outlaws at the Orlando 13, and two plays later Doug Williams threw to TE Ron Wheeler, who made a diving catch for an 11-yard touchdown with five minutes remaining in the first half. Luis Zendejas kicked the point after. On Arizona’s next possession, Doug Williams connected with Alphonso Williams for a gain of 45 yards to the Orlando four. But the Renegades held on defense and the Outlaws settled for a 20-yard Zendejas field goal with the clock down to 34 seconds. The score was 14-10 at halftime. In the third quarter, Arizona made it a one-point contest with a Zendejas field goal from 42 yards. However, the Renegades put together a long drive that covered 81 yards in 12 plays, including passes to Walters for gains of 33 and 15 yards and culminating in a three-yard scoring run by Claitt. Brockhaus added the extra point to increase Orlando’s lead to 21-13. The Outlaws struck back before the period was over as Doug Williams connected with Alphonso Williams for a 54-yard TD. However, an attempt to tie the score with a two-point conversion failed. Still, it was a two-point contest at 21-19 heading into the final period. In the fourth quarter, the Renegades maintained possession for 8:45 in a key drive that included carries by Collier of 8 and 14 yards to convert third downs. With 2:08 left on the clock, Jeff Brockhaus extended Orlando’s lead with a 38-yard field goal. There was still time for the Outlaws, but they now needed a touchdown to win and, starting from their own 27 following the kickoff, Doug Williams, confronted by an inspired defense, threw four incomplete passes and the Renegades held on for a 24-19 victory. The Renegades led in total yards (303 to 231), first downs (16 to 12), and time of possession (37:11 to 22:49). The Outlaws had three sacks, to one by Orlando, and the Renegades were penalized 9 times for 60 yards, to six flags for 50 yards thrown on Arizona. Orlando also turned the ball over twice, to one suffered by the Outlaws. Reggie Collier completed 12 of 23 passes for 180 yards with a touchdown and an interception and also ran the ball for 48 yards on 9 carries. Rickey Claitt rushed for 51 yards on 13 attempts and Curtis Bledsoe contributed 43 yards on 15 carries, each accounting for a TD. Joey Walters led the Renegades with four catches for 63 yards. On defense, LB Ron Freeman was the standout as he accumulated 11 tackles, defended two passes, and had a sack. For the Outlaws, Doug Williams was successful on just 8 of 24 throws for 166 yards with two TDs and no interceptions. Alphonso Williams had a big performance with four pass receptions for 127 yards and one TD. RB Reggie Brown gained 70 yards on 15 rushing attempts. Having won two straight games, the Renegades returned to their losing ways for the next three and, while more competitive down the stretch, finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 5-13 record. Arizona continued to lose, eventually dropping six straight contests on the way to ending with an 8-10 tally that placed fourth in the Western Conference. Reggie Collier continued to impress with his running and passing, throwing for 2578 yards and 13 touchdowns while giving up 16 interceptions and rushing for 606 yards and 12 TDs.

Nate tries to piece together his team after coming out of hiding. However, the high stakes involved in his latest con could spell disaster for him and his friends. Surrounded by FBI, the team decides to hide in plain sight, while continuing to take down the corrupt mayor and his gunrunning partner. Little do they suspect that Nate has a different endgame in mind for them all. The LEVERAGE crew aims their sights on a charming funeral director who embezzles money from her grieving mourners, then discovers she is also selling the identities of the recently deceased to a deadly Mexican drug cartel. The team puts together a plan to steal Nate's former boss's prized Michelangelo Maquette and sell it back to him. While searching for a philanthropist’s missing wife, the team comes up against a grifter ring running a web of sophisticated “Sweetheart Scams”. Now, Nate must learn how to steal hearts… or risk losing Sophie’s for good. While at jury duty, Parker learns someone is trying to sway the trial's verdict. The team goes after a con man masquerading as a psychic medium in order to drain the life savings of his bereaved clients. When Latimer hires Nate’s father to pull off a heist in an ultra-secure government office, the Leverage team must stage a fake hostage stand-off when they’re trapped inside and the feds lay siege to the building. Sophie and Nate find themselves taken hostage during a bank robbery. They soon learn they are trapped inside with their latest target: a corrupt judge. Nate, Eliot and Hardison are forced to intervene when Hurley returns, embroiled with the best of intentions in a three-way drug deal. Nate Ford, a once-loyal corporate employee has recovered millions of dollars in stolen goods for his employer. But when that employer denied his son’s insurance claims and allowed the boy to die, he realized he could no longer work for such an entity. Out of work and descending into alcoholism, Ford is hired by an aeronautics executive to recover airplane designs the executive claims were stolen by a rival company. Helping him are four highly skilled team members: Parker, an expert thief; Alex Hardison, a specialist in Internet and computer fraud; Eliot Spencer, a high-octane “retrieval specialist” who can take out a gang of henchmen without breaking a sweat; and Sophie Devereaux, a grifter who could win awards for her acting skills during difficult scams. At first the newly formed team is hesitant to trust each other after so many years working alone but being double-crossed changes the dynamic, ultimately forcing them to unite.

Until Tignale became a tourist location the local economy had always been based on agriculture. Thanks to the great energy, intuition and entrepreneurial skills of Filippo Bettanini, the family farm business saw its most prosperous years in the second half of the nineteenth century. At the time the family home was the centre of a large and thriving farm with a very rich and varied production that included maize, wheat, potatoes, beans, fruit, timber, fodder for cattle breeding and finally, silkworms bred by the women of the household, ensuring extra income for the family. In winter the family managed with the revenue produced by the sale of charcoal and firewood and by selling poles from their chestnut trees, highly prized for their strength and durability both for use in agriculture and in construction. After the winter they looked forward to the late spring, when thanks to mulberry leaves, they could grow silkworms. Then there were the fruit trees producing pears, apples, apricots, peaches, cherries and sour cherries contributing to their revenue along with corn, wheat and potatoes. Then, before winter set in they collected walnuts and chestnuts. The farm also produced wine and olive oil for the family needs.. From marc, the refuse of grapes after winemaking, the family Bettanini started distilling the Grappa that later, in Thirties’, Gabriele D’Annunzio - the famous poet- named “Rugiada delle Alpi” (morning dew). Given the inadequacy of the roads, little more than mountain paths, the heavier and cumbersome products were lowered to the port of Tignale by a cableway and loaded on the boats that led them to their destination. In the middle of the 20th Century, in the plains farming became mechanic and mountain farming became economically unsustainable. During the Fifties and Sixties, in Tignale began a period of deep crisis: people gave up farming and a lot of them emigrated. Our farm business today is based on a cultivated area of 78 acres (31.6 hectares), 97% of which is located within the Alto Garda Park, in a Special Protection Area, mainly meadows, pastures and woods. As for the last 70 years, and even more so today as a result of globalization, mountain agriculture is not able to compete with large-scale mechanized agriculture in industrialized countries, nor with the agriculture characterized by low labour costs of the developing countries. When in 2006 we decided to resume agricultural activities in Tignale, we decided to focus on the integration of agriculture and tourism by choosing to concentrate on limited-scale high-quality agricultural production, for the family and for the activity of our agritourism business. The natural consequence of our philosophy from the beginning, geared to the preservation of the beautiful natural environment of the Alto Garda Park in which we operate, was the decision to focus on Organic agriculture, which together with respect for the environment, ensures healthy and genuine products. Potatoes: we grow the white and yellow qualities here in Prabione, well known for its suitability for this type of cultivation. They are picked as we need them from the month of July onwards and they can be found in the restaurant in the form of delicious roasted potatoes and homemade gnocchi. Corn: which we grind and use to make our local polenta. Fruits: apples, pears, almonds, chestnut, cherries, sour cherries, elderberries, plums and apricots are used in our jams and chutneys as well as in some dishes and desserts. Vegetables: the salad vegetables, aubergines, tomatoes, courgettes, peppers, green beans, celery etc.., cultivated in our small family vegetable garden in Prabione, supply the kitchen of our restaurant daily. Wildflower honey, especially the summer variety with its characteristic taste of chestnut, is a perfect accompaniment to the strong cheeses of our area. The hives, which we leave to develop according to their natural cycle, allowing the swarming of queens, are located in the village of Gardola, as this is exposed to the south and less windy than Prabione and is therefore better suited to the life of this amazing insect. Olives, cultivated in Oldesio in a small olive grove overlooking the lake and cold pressed in Tignale's oil mill, produce our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, appreciated for its organoleptic qualities by those who taste our restaurant's cuisine. Grapes: this unique product is grown outside the Alto Garda Park. In fact, following the crisis of mountain farming in the 1960s all the vineyards of the family were abandoned. Recently we started the wine business again, focusing on a more suitable area; the morainic hills of the Valtenesi. The 10,000 sq m vineyard is in fact on the hills of Polpenazze, in a location extremely suitable for this crop. Thanks to the collaboration of our friend Dario Ferrarini who makes wine for us, every year we produce good organic red and rosé wine (with a very low content of added sulphites), to accompany the dishes in our restaurant. Marc, a by-product of winemaking that we annually distil with the traditional method used for 4 generations, producing the precious Grappa Rugiada delle Alpi. Grass, harvested and turned into hay three times a year, the predominant food of our riding horses. Timber used in the form of poles for the fences and firewood for heating in winter.

Minimalist designs are very trendy right now for business cards and there is a tendency for a black and white or very neutral colour palette to be used. This set of business cards shows that a minimalist design needn't be sombre or boring. Simply using a color block in a vibrant green brightens the effect and makes the cards eye-catching and pleasing to look at. A subtly textured card stock has been used which adds interest to the cards without competing with or complicating the design features.

On this last day of the Democratic Convention, with our campaign unfortunately in the rearview mirror, the Democratic Party should ask itself, seriously, what it needs to do to turn out the progressive vote in November. Fear of Donald Trump is not enough. Using Donald Trump as a bugbear won’t scare young unaffected progressives into voting Democrat come November — no matter how much the Hillary camp thinks it will. Yes, Donald Trump is inarguably worse, but Bernie supporters aren’t gravitating to Trump. You need to make a positive argument, not a negative one. Hillary True-Blues being smug, especially since the fairness of the election has been called into question, turns away potential voters in droves. Yes, she is the candidate. But if you want her to be President, you need Bernie supporters. Don’t dismiss the desire to support politics of conviction and especially third-parties. People are hungry for something they can believe in. Hillary hasn’t made her case to them, no matter if she has to you. Just because they say they’re voting Green or Libertarian or Peace and Freedom doesn’t make them stupid, and you should be able to articulate why voting Democrat is better than other options. The party platform is the most progressive it’s been since the New Deal. This is a direct result of the Bernie movement. We have moved the party to the left, should be proud of that, and staying involved is the way to keep that going. Someone close to the candidate needs to convince her to treat Sanders supporters with some respect. Firing Debbie Wasserman Schultz would be a good start. Publicly committing to the progressive planks of the platform would also go a long way. But this needs to come from Hillary, not a surrogate. Some people are never going to be convinced. But if the Hillary camp thinks they can win in November without progressives, I think they’re being optimistic and playing a very dangerous game. Hillary, and Bill before her, has always been good at taking the temperature and adjusting her stance to the reading — now she needs to do exactly that to ensure a win in November.

Cloud computing may sound like a set of complicated technical tasks, but decisions to invest in cloud solutions are often driven by the entire executive team and top management. The reasons have less to do with system specifications and more with good business sense. CEOs are attracted to the flexibility. CFOs and COOs cannot afford committing to large capital outlays that tie up cash and require huge annual maintenance and support costs. CIOs are realizing that a cloud computing model that comes with best practices, enhanced security and specialized expertise is sometimes impossible to be developed by in-house teams. Instead of installing a suite of software for each computer, you would only have to load one application. That application would allow workers to log into a Web-based service which hosts all the programs the user would need to do the job. Now you can do more with less, by obtaining access to more computing power whilst reducing the costs of your IT investment. Zephirus can help your company develop a cloud computing roadmap for selecting and deploying the healthiest mix of on-premise, hosted and cloud solutions.

Over the Mountains is Segue‘s second full length release with Silent Season, the long time coming follow up to 2013’s Pacifica. In a similar vein to Pacifica, Over the Mountains transports the listener to a different place and time, somewhere deep under a forest canopy on an unknown path leading to a majestic mountain vista somewhere above the clouds. The only thing keeping you going is knowing that things will only get better, because you never know what’s waiting over the next hill. Like an all day adventure through the Canadian Rockies, the album hits many highs and lows, driving forward at a relentless, hypnotic pace that lures you into a timeless sense of space. Once again Segue delivers a collection of long ambient-dub tracks that are filled with just the right amount of melody to provoke the mind of a focused listener, or to provide a serene atmosphere to fill any space.

Sound sleep is key to your healthy body and a good mood. It helps stimulate your growth hormones and alleviate negative thoughts. It keeps you energized all throughout the day and enhance your cognitive functions as well. In particular, the circadian rhythm of your body regulates your sleep. In addition to this, a nutritious diet, exercises, and healthy lifestyle practices are the three important factors, which regulate this cycle and help you attain quality slumbers. However, certain underlying complications affect this rhythm and lead to sleeplessness. While performing the day-to-day tasks, you have to put both the mental and physical labour simultaneously. Although it is a part of your daily life, an excessive pressure exerted on the body and mind can cause disturbances in the sleep pattern. Particularly, stress, several medications, uncomfortable body sensations, trauma and grief are some of the most common causes of an irregular sleep pattern. Moreover, pale or wrinkled skin, irregular body weight, signs of depression, food craving, and mood swings are some of the signs that you haven’t slept well for several nights. This sleep-pattern gets irregular day by day if the underlying conditions are left untreated. Consequently, it leads to chronic sleep disorders. A study suggests that an adult requires at least 1.5 to 1.8 hours of deep sleep, which is 20% of the total sleep for a duration of 24 hours. Moreover, you must sleep at least 7 to 8 hours daily to sustain physical and mental health. However, this duration depends widely on an individual’s work-routine, health, and lifestyle habits. You can regulate your circadian rhythm through natural methods. In addition to this, you can also take efficacious sleeping tablets to improve the quality of your sleep. In this course, Ambien sleeping tablets can help you mitigate the maladies and enjoy a comfortable sleeping time. These sleeping pills get functional within 10 to 20 minutes of ingestion and help you hold a cosy sleep for the recommended time period. These medicines repose the central nervous system and induce sound slumbers. You can buy sleeping tablets from some of the medical providers, which hold a renowned position for their credibility in the medical market. These sleeping tablets are available online with these trusted suppliers, where you can get them at a low price and alleviate such ailments effectively. In conclusion, healthy sleep can keep you active and revived for long. Sleeping tablets and salubrious lifestyle habits can help you enjoy a happy bedtime.

World class lineups year after year, and more artists than you can shake a stick at. What Stage – The biggest stage at Bonnaroo, with the iconic “Bonnaroo” neon sign on top. Which Stage – Our second largest stage, located on the Southern edge of Centeroo. This Tent – This Tent is waaaay too big to fit in your campsite. On the West side of Centeroo. The Other – Once a tent, now a stage the size of “Which”, The Other is your go-to spot for electronic in the Northwest corner of Centeroo. You already know What Stage, Which Stage, This Tent, and That Tent… but are you ready for “The Other”?! We’ve pulled down the tent and cranked up the bass in this newly expanded stage & area dedicated exclusively to the best of dance & electronic. Dance your heart out late into the night at this fully loaded new stage, and experience mind-blowing visuals, earth-shattering bass, and the kind of late night sets that you’ll remember for years to come. So when you’re looking for next-level electronic & dance on The Farm, make your way to The Other. You asked, and we heard you loud and clear – Kalliope is back for another year of all night magic in Centeroo. A legendary late night (and early morning) destination on The Farm for fans and artists alike, Kalliope brings mind-blowing light shows, an earth-shattering soundsystem, and a whoooooole bunch of pyro. Artists like Skrillex, Kaskade, Cherub and more have climbed her heights in past years, making musical magic high above the dancing crowds till sunrise ☀️. This summer will feature the inevitable surprise drop-ins, but who exactly will grace the stage amongst the flames this year? There’s only one way to find out… see you on The Farm. Snake & Jake’s Christmas Club Barn serves up Christmas-themed celebration in the summer! To bring the spirit of the legendary New Orleans dive bar to life, this offbeat venue features glistening lights, ornate holiday decor, a naughty or nice list and at LEAST one creepy Santa on the premises. Expect DJ sets, brass bands, robe parties, and plenty of surprises to keep you entertained day and night at this central point of Centeroo shenanigans. It’s the world’s freshest wireless dance party and one of Bonnaroo’s top attractions! Live DJs spin LATE into the warm Bonnaroo nights, keeping it quiet for the tired and the volume turned up for all you night owls. The Silent Disco is a unique Bonnaroo experience, so make sure to join and bust a move to the hottest dance beats – broadcast directly into your ears. Looking for a good laugh? More than just music and art, Bonnaroo also books some knee-slappin’ comedy performances. Keep an eye out on main stages and in campground plazas. Who? Your next favorite band, and your new best friends, that’s who. Be sure to check out the Who stage for some good times and great music from up-and-coming acts. Still powered by solar energy and positivity, this stage is here to help you learn HOW to make a difference and have a great time. Last year, the HOW stage hosted an eclectic schedule of music, dance, environmental speakers and interactive entertainment including yoga, wellness practices, talks about beer, and more. A special thanks to Tree Power & Sound for four great years of providing power for this stage!

Former international Guard Decosta Walbrook (G) had an amazing evening in the last round for Yorks Crushers and that's him to receive a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 6. The guard had a double-double of 32 points and twelve rebounds, while his team crushed Freetown T. (#8, 1-4) with 23-point margin 90-67. Yorks Crushers maintains the 7th position in Antiguan ABBA. Yorks Crushers is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-3 record. In the team's last game Walbrook had a remarkable 61.9% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Yorks Crushers and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Decosta Walbrook averages this season 15.4ppg and 8.6rpg. The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Canadian center Torey Fassett (198-C) of second-ranked Flyers. Fassett impressed basketball fans with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course Flyers cruised to a 85-73 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Stingerz (#6, 2-2). This victory allowed Flyers to move up to second position in the standings. His team lost just one game this season, while they won 5 matches. Fassett is a newcomer at Flyers and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. The third best performed player last round was American Joshua Minner (198-G-90) of Cutie Ovals Ojays (#4). Minner scored 28 points and grabbed ten rebounds. He was a key player of Cutie Ovals Ojays, leading his team to a 99-53 easy win against the lower-ranked HS Outlaws (#9, 1-5). Cutie Ovals Ojays is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 4-1 record is not that bad... Minner has a very solid season. In 5 games in Antigua he scored 27.0ppg.

Judge Hanen, however, showed his hand by explaining that the president had engaged in a “complete abdication” of the law. Rather than enforcing the law, Hanen saw Obama’s actions as making law: The executive is “is not just rewriting the laws; he is creating them from scratch.” This is the role of Congress, not the president. So Blackman thinks that Judge Hanen’s real objection to DAPA is based on the Constitution, not the APA. He may well be right. But then why didn’t Judge Hanen rule on the constitutional merits? Probably because if he had, the opinion would have been even weaker than it was.

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela formally protested to the Cooperative Republic of Guyana for the incursion into its jurisdictional waters of two seismic exploration vessels, Ramfor of the Bahamas flag and Delta Monarch of the Trinidad and Tobago flag, both hired by the transnational ExxonMobil and whose crew claimed to have a permit from the Guyanese government. Through a Note of Protest, the third so far this month, the Venezuelan Executive reiterated on Thursday its categorical rejection of unilateral and arbitrary activities of exploration in maritime areas of Venezuela, which the Republic of Guyana has been facilitating to transnationals of hydrocarbons. The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela informed on Monday that the Bolivarian National Navy, carrying out its customary patrols for the Venezuelan Atlantic facade, corresponding to the day 12/22/2018, in charge of the Kariña Oceanic Patrolman (PO-14), spotted the unprecedented presence in jurisdictional waters of Venezuela of two seismic exploration vessels. The referred ships were at the coordinates Latitude 09 ° 17 ‘4 “N Longitude 058 ° 15’ 7” W and Latitude 09 ° 15 ‘0 “Longitude 058 ° 17’ 3” W, in the maritime projection of the Orinoco Delta being indubitable under sovereignty of Venezuela. Faced with this flagrant violation of national sovereignty, the corresponding international protocols were applied, acting with the prudence which abbandoned the Guyanese government when unduly authorized such exploration, the General Secretary of the United Nations, António Guterres, was notified. Previously, the Government of Venezuela expressed to Guyana its strongest protest for the Notice of the Navigators N ° 31 (2018) dated December 6, 2018, which indicates that the company ExxonMobil through its subsidiary Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (Eepgl) that day and until December 31 began, in what they falsely call the maritime zone of Guyana, a seismic survey campaign with the presence of two vessels. In this regard, the Venezuelan Executive reiterated its categorical objection based on the most elementary principles of international law. In that sense, Venezuela proposes to the government of Guyana, the resumption of direct negotiations, by mutual agreement for the coming year and with the assistance of the Secretary of the United Nations.

Ndudi Godwin Elumelu: Ndudi Godwin Elumelu, was born on the 23rd of February, 1965. He hails from Onicha-Ukwu in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. He had his education at the popular Yaba Tech (Yaba College of Technology), Yaba, Lagos where he obtained a National Diploma in Business Administration in 1989. He later bagged a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Accounting & Finance in 1993 before his Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) with specialization in finance in 2001. Mr. Elumelu has attended many courses both locally and overseas, some of which are credit analysis course by H. Pierson Associates Ltd., Finance Africa summit in South Africa organized by Philip Consulting, 2nd Nigeria International Insurance Summit and other courses in Europe. He is a member of the board of directors in many companies, some of which are Tenoil Petroleum and Gas Company Limited, Structural Trust Fund Limited, Exchange Trade Limited, MunGen Consults Limited, Transglobal Communications Limited, Pet – Jibson & Company Limited, Peton Engineering Limited, and Pet – N Chemicals amongst many others. He is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers. As a result of his knack for excellence, he left to set up Transglobal Investment Ltd., an outfit which consists of eminent Nigerians and seasoned businessmen of proven integrity. The firm handles all classes of insurance business amongst other services. Before engineering the incorporation of Transglobal Investments Ltd., he was a staff of Gulf Bank where he was saddled with the responsibility of management of credit, marketing, treasury and other services. On leaving Gulf Bank Ltd., he joined Inter Capital Ltd., an investment outfit where he was the Head of Credit. He was elected into the Federal House of Representatives in 2007 to represent the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Costituency. However, prior to his election, Hon Elumelu had tried his luck first in 2003, but some high wire politcal intrigues had not only pitched him against the then Governor of Delta state, Chief James Ibori but had equally caused him to lose to Hon. Pascal Adigwe. He returned in 2007, much wiser and more determined, but met with the same old forces, which not only pitched him against his own blood brother, Peter Elumelu, but also tried to deny him the opportunity to represent his people, on the alleged grounds that he had snubbed a lucrative offer from the godfather himself, Chief Ibori, to serve in the Delta State cabinet. Part of his problems with the then establishment had also allegedly emanated from the fact that he was seen as an Abuja politician and had equally been regarded as a major fixture of the then Godswill Obielum political structure, which gave the Ibori machinery a real scare in 2007. After the defeat of Obielum at the Ogwashi Uku governorship primaries, the structure was allegedly taken over by Mrs Mariam Ali, wife of the former PDP national Chairman Ahmadu Ali, who was herself humiliated at the Senatorial elections by the Ibori machinery which returned incumbent Senator, Patrick Osakwe on the platform of the Accord Party. Hon. Elumelu suddenly found himself alone and had to proceed to the Court where triumphed as INEC declared him the winner of the April 2007 Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency seat. However, all that is in the past now, as Hon. Elumelu enjoys a very cordial relationship with the present administration in Delta state as indeed he does with all and sundry and even Godswill Obielum himself has already settled his old scores with Governor Uduaghan and is now one of the strongest campaigners of a second tern for the governor in Delta North. Sice his election, he has been a member of several high brow committees in the House including: Committee Membership: Diaspora, Drugs, Narcotics & Financial Crimes, Interior Affairs, National Security & Intelligence, and the House Committee on Power, where he served as Chairman). His anti-corruption stance to expose the ill perpetrated in governance, which is the cog in the wheel of development of our great country is in line with the sermon of zero tolerance on corruption by the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan. He was seen by many as a role model, a catalyst for change and a likely whistle blower on malpractices and injustice in the system at the initial stages of his Power Committee activities. He and his team appeared to be passionate and resolute to ensure that through their probe of over $16 billion expended on electricity projects between 1999 and 2007 without tangible outcome, will bring about positive solutions in addressing our problems. Hon Elumelu had stood upright in his performance as Chairman of the Committee on Power where he demonstrated a high level of patriotism, and brought his managerial acumen and intellectual prowess to bear on the assignment. This was evident in the manner he moderated the probe on the power sector, where he deposited logical and tasking questions and occasionally guided those in the box from derailing in their presentations. He accommodated the contributions of others with high sense of humility, integrity and sincerity to ensure that they were on track and focused in making a positive difference to correct the mistakes of the past. He was well admired in those days that he was even nicknamed by admirers as “Mr. Due-Process and Transparency”, but it was also reported that he also received several death threats to his life as a result of his progressive actions, but this did not deter him from carrying out his legislative duties and freely relating with all and sundry with equanimity, which depicts his moral upbringing. However, it was this same Power Committe assignment that was to cause Hon Ndudi Elumelu a lot of nightmares as he was suddenly accussed from both within the House of Representative and outside of connivance, fraud and high handedness amongst others. Hon Elumelu, Senator Nicolas Yahaya Ugbane and Hon. Jibo Mohammed, amongst 9 others were originally arraigned on Friday October 30, 2009 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a 130 count charge over an alleged N5.2billion Rural Electrification Scam The charges were separated thus: The three lawmakers among them were originally and jointly facing a 62 count charge while the other six accused are jointly facing a 68 count charge. The three lawmakers are: Hon. Godwin Ndidi Elumelu, Senator Nicholas Yahaya Ugbane and Hon. Jibo Mohammed. The other accused are Engr. Samuel Ibi Gekpe, Dr. Abdullahi Aliyu, Simon Kirdi Nanle, Engr. Lawrence Kayode Orekoya, Abdulsamad Garba Jahun and Barrister Kayode Oyedeji. In 2010, The EFCC, presisely on Thursday October 14th, 2010, re-arraigned former Senate Committee Chairman on Power, Senator Nicholas Ugbane, his House of Representatives counterpart, Hon. Godwin Elumelu, and Hon Jibo Mohammed at the Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court, Abuja, before Justice Abimbola Banjoko on a fresh 65 count charge bordering on defrauding the government in the Rural Electrification Agency project. They were reprtedly granted bail and the case is said to still be on-going but that has not deterred Hon. Elumelu from seeking for re-election in the April 2011 polls, despite reports in some quarters that the EFCC is poised to scuttle the political ambitions of those still under investigation or in litigation with the Commission. Infact because of his great interests in youth and women empowerment, and the Energy sector in particular and nation building in general, he has been propelled to remain courageously vital in legislative activities in the hallowed chambers which has distinguished him as a leader with the interest of the downtrodden at heart. To be sure, the Hon. Godwin Ndudi Elumelu campaign has been hinged on four themes, which have featured prominently in his electioneering campaign prior to his election into the House of Representatives in April 2007 and this time around. The themes according to Elumelu’s manifesto listed Economic Empowerment of Underprivileged Women, Youths and Farmers; Moral Probity Through Respect For Traditional Institutions; Determination to Improve Living standards of the People; as well as Infrastructural Transformation of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency. Amongst all these, the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) projects is the one that has visibly spread across many parts of his constituency and gulped a large chunk of the constituency project funds. The others are not far behind. Elumelu in his stewardship publication tagged: ‘The Elumelu Stewardship” is said to have influenced the following constituency projects in the federal budget. It is indeed rare to see a politician who will come out to list his constituency projects and even add costs to them as Hon. Elumelu has done with his own projects and for this, he is well endeared by the people of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, even though there is an important school of thought which still believe that some of his project costs were highly inflated. In fact his popularity amongst his constituents led recently to his being confered with the prestigious title of Odozi Ani (meaning ‘the one who makes things better’) of Oko, in Oshimili North LGA of Delat State, in recognition of the good works he has reportedly done for the people of Oko. This is in addition to the titles he has received from Idumuje-Ugboko, Okpanam and other communites in the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency. Incidentally, his main challenger for the position, Alanza Uche Ugbomah, himself a staunch PDP stalwarth, now contesting under the platform of the Accord Party and a strong ally of the PDP, Delta state chairman Chief Peter Nwaoboshi, is from Oko. Many analysts have opined that the entrant of Mr. Ugbomah into the race may not be unconnected with the expectation that the EFCC may spring a suprise on the outcome of the election, but with the seeming decision of the anti-graft Commission to remain silent on the fate of those in Court and under investigation, especially at this election period, it remains to be seen how far the gamble to challenge Hon. Ndudi Elumelu will go, because he is by far the most favored candidate to win the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency again. Yes I have read the things he has done but in all the places he emssioned I still not satisfied because he did not do anything to the town where the Mother come from I am surprised that he can not even menssion any from there and where he and his siblings were brought up I wish my people will remenber that this man who happend to be their son too did not regard them pls I am useing this midium to ask Mr Elumelu that ebo na bi a mu nwa do not forget Onicha Ugbo is also your town look my dear brother if you are being chased out of Onicha Uku there is no other place you will run to if ont Onicha Ugbo so pls if you are voted again which I know my people will not abandon you pls try to help us. Thanks and God bless you. The Constituency projects Ndudi Elumelu claim to have sited at Ogwashi – Ukwu is fruadulent, falsehood intend to deceive the people. where, in the name of God, did he bulit one block of computer lab with accessories? Elumelu has done nothing for the people of Ebu Oshimili North, it time to vote for the man that will recognise us, Alanza Uche Ugboma. I have tried repeatedly to get intouch with ndudi Elumelu all the way from US but all in vain.In United states of America,in a second I will get to speak to all those that I voted for .Why is Nigeriann democracy different from other parts of the world.Elumelu needs to visit Ebu and see how my home town is left with nothing.the hospital is in shamble and schools have no chairs or laboratory for the students.Ebu is being marginalised .Elumelu you have done nothing for my home towne. please my dear fellow deltans, i am beging IG to come and prosecute Fred Ajudue, for the killing of our youth in Ibusa, please this man has finish us with criminal tricks.

As a result of his knack for excellence , he left to set up Transglobal Investment Ltd. , an outfit which consists of eminent Nigerians and seasoned businessmen of proven integrity . The firm handles all classes of insurance business amongst other services . Before engineering the incorporation of Transglobal Investments Ltd. , he was a staff of Gulf Bank where he was saddled with the responsibility of management of credit , marketing , treasury and other services . On leaving Gulf Bank Ltd. , he joined Inter Capital Ltd. , an investment outfit where he was the Head of Credit . He was elected into the Federal House of Representatives in 2007 to represent the Aniocha / Oshimili Federal Costituency . However , prior to his election , Hon Elumelu had tried his luck first in 2003 , but some high wire politcal intrigues had not only pitched him against the then Governor of Delta state , Chief James Ibori but had equally caused him to lose to Hon . Pascal Adigwe . He returned in 2007 , much wiser and more determined , but met with the same old forces , which not only pitched him against his own blood brother , Peter Elumelu , but also tried to deny him the opportunity to represent his people , on the alleged grounds that he had snubbed a lucrative offer from the godfather himself , Chief Ibori , to serve in the Delta State cabinet . Part of his problems with the then establishment had also allegedly emanated from the fact that he was seen as an Abuja politician and had equally been regarded as a major fixture of the then Godswill Obielum political structure , which gave the Ibori machinery a real scare in 2007 . After the defeat of Obielum at the Ogwashi Uku governorship primaries , the structure was allegedly taken over by Mrs Mariam Ali , wife of the former PDP national Chairman Ahmadu Ali , who was herself humiliated at the Senatorial elections by the Ibori machinery which returned incumbent Senator , Patrick Osakwe on the platform of the Accord Party . Hon . Elumelu suddenly found himself alone and had to proceed to the Court where triumphed as INEC declared him the winner of the April 2007 Aniocha / Oshimili Federal Constituency seat . However , all that is in the past now , as Hon . Elumelu enjoys a very cordial relationship with the present administration in Delta state as indeed he does with all and sundry and even Godswill Obielum himself has already settled his old scores with Governor Uduaghan and is now one of the strongest campaigners of a second tern for the governor in Delta North . Sice his election , he has been a member of several high brow committees in the House including : Committee Membership : Diaspora , Drugs , Narcotics & Financial Crimes , Interior Affairs , National Security & Intelligence , and the House Committee on Power , where he served as Chairman ) . His anti - corruption stance to expose the ill perpetrated in governance , which is the cog in the wheel of development of our great country is in line with the sermon of zero tolerance on corruption by the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan . He was seen by many as a role model , a catalyst for change and a likely whistle blower on malpractices and injustice in the system at the initial stages of his Power Committee activities . He and his team appeared to be passionate and resolute to ensure that through their probe of over $ 16 billion expended on electricity projects between 1999 and 2007 without tangible outcome , will bring about positive solutions in addressing our problems . Hon Elumelu had stood upright in his performance as Chairman of the Committee on Power where he demonstrated a high level of patriotism , and brought his managerial acumen and intellectual prowess to bear on the assignment . This was evident in the manner he moderated the probe on the power sector , where he deposited logical and tasking questions and occasionally guided those in the box from derailing in their presentations . He accommodated the contributions of others with high sense of humility , integrity and sincerity to ensure that they were on track and focused in making a positive difference to correct the mistakes of the past . He was well admired in those days that he was even nicknamed by admirers as “ Mr. Due - Process and Transparency ” , but it was also reported that he also received several death threats to his life as a result of his progressive actions , but this did not deter him from carrying out his legislative duties and freely relating with all and sundry with equanimity , which depicts his moral upbringing . However , it was this same Power Committe assignment that was to cause Hon Ndudi Elumelu a lot of nightmares as he was suddenly accussed from both within the House of Representative and outside of connivance , fraud and high handedness amongst others . Hon Elumelu , Senator Nicolas Yahaya Ugbane and Hon . Jibo Mohammed , amongst 9 others were originally arraigned on Friday October 30 , 2009 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC ) on a 130 count charge over an alleged N5.2billion Rural Electrification Scam The charges were separated thus : The three lawmakers among them were originally and jointly facing a 62 count charge while the other six accused are jointly facing a 68 count charge . The three lawmakers are : Hon . Godwin Ndidi Elumelu , Senator Nicholas Yahaya Ugbane and Hon . Jibo Mohammed . The other accused are Engr . Samuel Ibi Gekpe , Dr. Abdullahi Aliyu , Simon Kirdi Nanle , Engr . Lawrence Kayode Orekoya , Abdulsamad Garba Jahun and Barrister Kayode Oyedeji . In 2010 , The EFCC , presisely on Thursday October 14th , 2010 , re - arraigned former Senate Committee Chairman on Power , Senator Nicholas Ugbane , his House of Representatives counterpart , Hon . Godwin Elumelu , and Hon Jibo Mohammed at the Federal Capital Territory , FCT High Court , Abuja , before Justice Abimbola Banjoko on a fresh 65 count charge bordering on defrauding the government in the Rural Electrification Agency project . They were reprtedly granted bail and the case is said to still be on - going but that has not deterred Hon . Elumelu from seeking for re - election in the April 2011 polls , despite reports in some quarters that the EFCC is poised to scuttle the political ambitions of those still under investigation or in litigation with the Commission . Infact because of his great interests in youth and women empowerment , and the Energy sector in particular and nation building in general , he has been propelled to remain courageously vital in legislative activities in the hallowed chambers which has distinguished him as a leader with the interest of the downtrodden at heart . To be sure , the Hon . Godwin Ndudi Elumelu campaign has been hinged on four themes , which have featured prominently in his electioneering campaign prior to his election into the House of Representatives in April 2007 and this time around . The themes according to Elumelu ’s manifesto listed Economic Empowerment of Underprivileged Women , Youths and Farmers ; Moral Probity Through Respect For Traditional Institutions ; Determination to Improve Living standards of the People ; as well as Infrastructural Transformation of Aniocha / Oshimili Federal Constituency . Amongst all these , the Rural Electrification Agency ( REA ) projects is the one that has visibly spread across many parts of his constituency and gulped a large chunk of the constituency project funds . The others are not far behind . Elumelu in his stewardship publication tagged : ‘ The Elumelu Stewardship ” is said to have influenced the following constituency projects in the federal budget . It is indeed rare to see a politician who will come out to list his constituency projects and even add costs to them as Hon . Elumelu has done with his own projects and for this , he is well endeared by the people of Aniocha / Oshimili Federal Constituency , even though there is an important school of thought which still believe that some of his project costs were highly inflated . In fact his popularity amongst his constituents led recently to his being confered with the prestigious title of Odozi Ani ( meaning ‘ the one who makes things better ’ ) of Oko , in Oshimili North LGA of Delat State , in recognition of the good works he has reportedly done for the people of Oko . This is in addition to the titles he has received from Idumuje - Ugboko , Okpanam and other communites in the Aniocha / Oshimili Federal Constituency . Incidentally , his main challenger for the position , Alanza Uche Ugbomah , himself a staunch PDP stalwarth , now contesting under the platform of the Accord Party and a strong ally of the PDP , Delta state chairman Chief Peter Nwaoboshi , is from Oko . Many analysts have opined that the entrant of Mr. Ugbomah into the race may not be unconnected with the expectation that the EFCC may spring a suprise on the outcome of the election , but with the seeming decision of the anti - graft Commission to remain silent on the fate of those in Court and under investigation , especially at this election period , it remains to be seen how far the gamble to challenge Hon . Ndudi Elumelu will go , because he is by far the most favored candidate to win the Aniocha / Oshimili Federal Constituency again . Yes I have read the things he has done but in all the places he emssioned I still not satisfied because he did not do anything to the town where the Mother come from I am surprised that he can not even menssion any from there and where he and his siblings were brought up I wish my people will remenber that this man who happend to be their son too did not regard them pls I am useing this midium to ask Mr Elumelu that ebo na bi a mu nwa do not forget Onicha Ugbo is also your town look my dear brother if you are being chased out of Onicha Uku there is no other place you will run to if ont Onicha Ugbo so pls if you are voted again which I know my people will not abandon you pls try to help us . Thanks and God bless you . The Constituency projects Ndudi Elumelu claim to have sited at Ogwashi – Ukwu is fruadulent , falsehood intend to deceive the people . where , in the name of God , did he bulit one block of computer lab with accessories ? Elumelu has done nothing for the people of Ebu Oshimili North , it time to vote for the man that will recognise us , Alanza Uche Ugboma . I have tried repeatedly to get intouch with ndudi Elumelu all the way from US but all in vain . In United states of America , in a second I will get to speak to all those that I voted for .Why is Nigeriann democracy different from other parts of the world . Elumelu needs to visit Ebu and see how my home town is left with nothing.the hospital is in shamble and schools have no chairs or laboratory for the students . Ebu is being marginalised .Elumelu you have done nothing for my home towne . please my dear fellow deltans , i am beging IG to come and prosecute Fred Ajudue , for the killing of our youth in Ibusa , please this man has finish us with criminal tricks .

Basic general aspects of main infectious and parasitic diseases, even of zoonotic nature, of laboratory and wild captive animals will be presented. According to the principles of the “5 freedoms”, students will be address to understand what Animal Welfare means. Moreover, they will develop knowledge and skills allowing them to identify the needs of the animals in order to improve their living environment (housing system, environmental conditions, cleanliness) and management. Moreover, they will be skilled to identify rearing conditions that can cause pain and distress and develop strategy to remove them. To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to recognize the environmental impact of animal husbandry and individuate possible control strategies. To develop theoretical knowledge on the basis of animal nutrition in vertebrates. The course will provide students with opportunities to get knowledge and practical tools useful to assess energy and nutrients requirements of laboratory and wild animal species, feed evaluation and feeding management. Provide students basic concepts on pharmacology (e.g., pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics) and toxicology (e.g., cellular and target-organ toxicity, mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and reproductive toxicology). Provide students basic concepts on anesthesiology, equipment for anesthesia and monitoring, perioperative management, anesthetic emergency management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. To develop theoretical knowledge on the pattern of reactions of animal organisms to injuries and practical skills to perform the main diagnostic ancillary techniques.

Students will be able to understand how animals show sign of disease and to follow the main diagnostic ancillary techniques. To develop skills and knowledge throughout all the sequence of reproductive events in the male and female gender, with emphasis to differences among target species of vertebrates. Student would also be trained to newborn care and management, neonatal resuscitation, hand rearing techniques, growth evaluation, first care and aid of orphaned animals. Student would be qualified to assist veterinarians in clinical and surgical procedures and techniques useful in the control of animal reproduction and newborn care. This course is focused on wild animal behaviour and zoological medicine, addressing the individual and herd medical management. The course incorporates clinical settings, principles of veterinary internal medicine, principles of newborn assistance, and applies them to wild animals in natural and captive environments. Students will also acquire theoretical and practical tools useful in assisting veterinarians during clinical and surgical procedures in wildlife, implementing veterinarian indications for management of wild animals during trauma and in critical condition, provide basic evaluation and first aid to different species of vertebrates. To recognize relevant behavioral features of the wild species, which could affect their management. To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to recognize problems in adapting to the provided environment in wild animals and to address them. Students will acquire theoretical and practical tools useful in addressing wild animals ethological needs and training. Students will be able to: transfer the knowledge on the requirements of wild species in nature to the captivity condition, in order to maximize their welfare and health; acquire basic skills on handling, transport requirements, containment methods and enclosure design and management for animals belonging to different taxa; interpret and use cost-accounting models widely used in private and public enterprises directly involved in the management and care of animals, as well as to understand key issues relating to the more common tools of business management control. To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to recognize presence of main infectious diseases in wild animals as well as possible nutritional and management problems. To evaluate any possible interaction with human activities (i.e. hunting, killing, mistreatment). To apply specific protocols for samples and evidence collections and preservation. Students will acquire the capability to execute a dissection and/or necropsy aimed to collect information, biological and pathological data as well as samples for ancillary exams. Elements to perform dissections aimed to preserve skeletons will be also explained. Through this course students are expected to: acquire theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and tools to manage husbandry and welfare of species (among rodents, lagomorphs, birds and fish) involved in scientific research under laboratory conditions; understand the ontogenesis, function and the determinants of the behaviour of species involved in scientific research (rodents, birds and fishes – example species will be given for each taxa); develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling them to identify normal and abnormal behaviours expressed by species involved in scientific research; acquire theoretical and practical tools useful in addressing laboratory animal ethological needs and training. The aims of the course are i) to briefly describe the main animal models (e.g. mouse, rat, zebrafish) and how to obtain them (spontaneous vs induced models, transgenic models) and ii) to outline the proper procedures for assisting and performing a necropsy in laboratory animal species. Specific theoretical knowledge and practical skills will be provided to enable students collection of specimen performed avoiding the occurrence of artifacts or post mortem change in the collected tissues, collection of samples appropriated for the intended purpose (i.e. histology, cytology, microbiology, virology, cell cultures, banked tissue, RNA and DNA samples) and adequate in number and amount to provide valid results. - basic concept on laboratory animal health status monitoring, clinical management, practical handling, drugs and fluids administration, elements of biomedical imaging, record keeping and occupational health and safety. Part of the course will focus on pain assessment, pain score systems, pain management, emergency care, humane endpoints and euthanasia. - an introductory but solid background to basic surgical principles and procedures, to establish basic surgical skills, to gain knowledge and skills about care of surgical environment and equipment, to acquire basic knowledge about the most common used surgical models. - basic concepts on in vivo methodologies used in in vivo pharmaco-toxicological preclinical studies. Give students an overview of alternative in vitro methods. The work opportunities vary depending on the area considered: from the care of wildlife in a controlled environment, for educational, research and preservation purposes, to that of coadjutor in support of veterinarians or expert in the monitoring and care of animals intended for recreational, research, educational, sports and assistance activities. In addition, the training received will allow graduates to connect and integrate the actions promoted by more specialized professionals (veterinarian, biologist, zoologist, etc.) who work in the field of animal care. 2. SAT score report with a score greater or equal to 1500 (50%) for the score scale up to 2400 or a score greater or equal to 1000 (50%) for the score scale up to 1600 (newly revised SAT); this certification is required by 28 February and mandatory only for EU citizens and non-EU citizens legally residing in Italy. Non-EU citizens not residing in Italy may opt for a Skype interview with the assessment commission, if they haven’t taken the SAT test.

On “The Conservative Conscience” podcast Wednesday, Conservative Review senior editor Daniel Horowitz explained why Americans need to get beyond the false dichotomy of either believing in Russian collusion or supporting Russia by default. “Russia, at the end of the day, still has nuclear weapons. There are some theaters where they could be helpful, there’s theaters where they’re neutral, and there’s theaters where they’re hurting us. And we need to combat them where they’re hurting us,” he explained. Horowitz laid out a strategy to use the Democrats’ current anti-Russia sentiment to force a much-needed policy change.

The woman's scream still ringing in his ears, Des collected himself again.’¿Qué está pasando? ¡Qué juego tan enfermizo!’ thought Des. “Are you alright?”, Des addressed the woman. “I’m Desmond by the way.” He stepped besides her keeping the naked guy, or was it even a guy, in his sight. He scanned the room for anything heavy and blunt that could be used to take that abomination down. Vivien noticed the guy they’d just met bending over to her. Seconds ago she saw through him, he being a skeleton to her. And just before that she saw things even worse. Her world was broken into pieces for now. Like far away and under water she still noticed his question with a good delay. Vivien was still too shocked to form a reasonable sentence, but after a brief moment, still trembling and with wide open eyes, she gave a subtle nod. Meanwhile at Gavin’s outer body experience. In his drugged, natural behavior. Floating around and still no idea where to go. But .. he knows the structure of these surroundings. He touched a huge flat area, what would be a wall between rooms. The area around of his fingerprint was now in a state of a pulse mode. The whole environment began vibrating and all exploded in a huge color matrix, like a newborn star. Colors, unicorns, space dust and other thing in your weird dreams. He wasn't accustomed to his speed yet. He flashed right over the outline. The room walls were bursting like a jet hitting the sound barrier, in different shades of purple. “Damn. This went fast .. ”, he giggled. Testing the flight speed needed some more adjustments. Gavin floated back to the outlined thingy. “Well. What is this outlined cat looking thing doing here?” He reached out to touch the shiny thing - like a child. Touching any- and everything. His mind slipped black again .. nano seconds later .. Gavin opened his eyes, blinked. “What the heck is going on?” He looked around. “Office building? Check.” “View angle? Bit off, looks normal for now. All a bit huge and the colours are not here. Who gives ..” “Acoustics? I can hear the grass growing. Mkay. Voice? Check One. Check Two.” “Meoow!”, he meowed and started to clean his face, out of natural behavior. “Percival. Percival Riley, you know the guy who does the electronics around here. Uhhh no?”, Percival tried to jumpstart Desmond’s memory. Responding to the his question. Percival sighed at what's going on and scratched his head in frustration. “This is just clearly a bad dream and at any moment I'll wake up in my bed,” Percival banged his head on the wall attempting to wake up. But it just hurt. The pain felt pretty real. Even though it subsided quickly. Despite being dead not 5 minutes ago, he felt fine again. Well, physically at least. Des didn’t understand what Percival was trying to say. For him it were just incoherent words. And then the thing even started banging his head on the wall. At that moment it looked more like a robot that had some sort of system crash, then a human being. The scene was not without its comical aspect, as an apparently naked human man banged his had on the wall while mumbling incoherent words. Then Des remembered that this thing moments before was nothing but a burned crisp, and all that was here now reformed out of nothing. Des grabbed the chair and advanced on that headbanging thing. As soon as Gavin spirit transitioned into his new hull, his earthbound body had dropped with a loud noise on the floor.
The woman 's scream still ringing in his ears , Des collected himself again . ’¿Qué está pasando ? ¡ Qué juego tan enfermizo ! ’ thought Des . “ Are you alright ? ” , Des addressed the woman . “ I ’m Desmond by the way . ” He stepped besides her keeping the naked guy , or was it even a guy , in his sight . He scanned the room for anything heavy and blunt that could be used to take that abomination down . Vivien noticed the guy they ’d just met bending over to her . Seconds ago she saw through him , he being a skeleton to her . And just before that she saw things even worse . Her world was broken into pieces for now . Like far away and under water she still noticed his question with a good delay . Vivien was still too shocked to form a reasonable sentence , but after a brief moment , still trembling and with wide open eyes , she gave a subtle nod . Meanwhile at Gavin ’s outer body experience . In his drugged , natural behavior . Floating around and still no idea where to go . But .. he knows the structure of these surroundings . He touched a huge flat area , what would be a wall between rooms . The area around of his fingerprint was now in a state of a pulse mode .

Late US senator John McCain will receive his final public sendoff today (Saturday) in a nationally televised ceremony featuring eulogies from two ex-presidents, but with current commander in chief Donald Trump conspicuously absent from the proceedings. Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama will deliver remarks honoring their friend and former White House challenger, at a memorial service in Washington’s National Cathedral that McCain planned himself in recent months as he battled brain cancer. That the men who vanquished McCain in their presidential battles were asked to speak is testament to the former war prisoner’s commitment to looking beyond party and signalling that Americans, regardless of political affiliation, are rowing together in the same boat. Amid today’s inflammatory political environment the message could serve as a soothing balm for a nation bruised by two years of divisive discourse. And the absence of Trump, whose bitter feud with McCain has wrangled US politics during that time, will serve as a final rebuke of the president, highlighting the clash between a Republican elder statesman and the current president from his own party. McCain’s last public event, before he is laid to rest Sunday in a private ceremony at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, comes a day after he was accorded the rare recognition of lying in state in the US Capitol. While members of Congress honored one of their own in a touching ceremony that featured an address by Vice President Mike Pence, Trump was again not there. Instead he holed up in the White House and remained uncharacteristically silent on Twitter during the ceremony, before flying to a political event in North Carolina later in the day. McCain’s widow Cindy, his seven children and his 106-year-old mother Roberta McCain joined scores of members of Congress, state governors, diplomats and other dignitaries at the somber Rotunda ceremony. It was an awkward message to deliver from a president who has studiously refrained from praising McCain, either during his illness or since his death. Their feud took root during Trump’s 2016 campaign, when he questioned the notion McCain was a war hero — because he had been captured after his navy fighter jet was shot down over Hanoi in 1967. McCain pushed back in the following months, calling Trump’s behavior petty and “disgraceful,” and in one of his final acts in the Senate blocked the Republican effort to repeal Obama’s health care law known as Obamacare.

The government has just announced the postponement of work to electrify the Great Western rail network in south-west England, a £2.8 billion project. This summary of measures could have been taken straight from the Osborne playbook, with cuts to social security, pensions and other entitlements that all hit working people again combined with further cuts to investment. The only thing that is new is this security and immigration-obsessed government has provided a small amount of funding to conduct cyber-warfare because it feels it is falling behind. If the Osborne approach was completely mimicked in the upcoming Autumn Statement, there would also be a new tax giveaway for big business. There is a fundamental reason for this. The Tories have not implemented austerity because they are ‘the Nasty Party’, although they are. The entire austerity programme, the cuts to public services and pay, cuts to social welfare, cuts to business taxes, further privatisation and cuts to public sector investment all have one central purpose. This is not, as stated, to eliminate the deficit, otherwise the Corporation Tax rate would not have been cut and costly privatisations made. The purpose of austerity is to restore profitability. And this has been a failure. Even before taking rising prices into account, the level of profits in the second quarter of this year was lower that it was in the third quarter of 2014. Profits are not sufficiently recovering to allow any major reversal of austerity for a government wholly committed to driving down wages and the social wage while giving big handouts to big business. Of course, some tinkering and publicity-seeking measures are likely, as the government pretends to be on the side of working people. No doubt it will be aided by the extremely compliant media. But anti-austerity activists should be clear. This will be the same old austerity Tories as before.

The 11 Day Power Play, the world’s longest hockey game whose purpose is to help fight cancer, is back in Buffalo, with a twist. Instead of 40 players living, breathing, sleeping and playing one continuous hockey game spanning 11 continuous days, this year’s version will include roughly 120 teams comprised of 1,700 players participating in 60 four-hour shifts of one single game. It’s dubbed the “11 Day Power Play Community Shift” and will run from July 5-15 at HarborCenter. The opening ceremony starts July 5 at 7 p.m. and the puck will drop at 8 p.m. “People kept asking us… ‘What are you gonna do next? What are you gonna do next? And if you ever do it again, we want to play.’ So we just kind of knew that we needed to do this community event. We didn’t want to lose the momentum,” said event co-founder Amy Lesakowski. The 11 Day Power Play is the crazy idea of Amy and Mike Lesakowski. Mike’s mother, Evelyn, died of brain and lung cancer in May 2016, and Amy is a survivor of breast cancer. “I was able to jump in a clinical trial at Roswell Park. That clinical trial, I believe, saved my life. I want to support the hospital as well as so many other people in our community,” said Amy. Last summer’s wildly successful inaugural event helped raise $1.2 million for Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Roswell, located in Buffalo, is the nations’s first cancer center and a world leader in groundbreaking research in the fight against cancer. It also set a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous hockey game: 251 hours. When the final horn sounded, the Blue team had outscored the White team, 1,725-1,697. But aside from a few side bets and endless razzing between players, that hardly mattered. The grueling physical and mental marathon game tested the resolve, spirit and stamina of every player. Players often skated two and sometimes three four-hour shifts per day, while living at the arena. Locker rooms were transformed into bunks. Blisters, cramps and muscle aches became the norm. All in the name of fighting cancer. An incredible bond was forged among the 40 men who endured 11 grueling days of continuous hockey. One was also forged between the community and the event itself. Support for the event was tremendous from local companies. It truly captured the hearts and minds of Western New Yorkers. Sensing this, the Lesakowskis and their board knew they had to continue the momentum as well as their fundraising efforts by broadening the game and involving the incredible greater Buffalo community. Merging their passion for hockey and fighting cancer, Mike and Amy have been on a mission to bring hope to those suffering the ill effects of the disease. They want to make a difference. And they know they already are. Every donation, no matter how big or small, really adds up. Every single dollar is important; as their video explains, Roswell Park can leverage an additional $13 in research grant funding for every dollar donated. The $1 million raised by this event for cancer research could potentially turn into $13 million for Roswell! “Just knowing how hard the scientists and researchers at Roswell work. For them to go out of their way to really stress how important those funds are. I mean every dollar raised is really thirteen dollars. It’s considered seed money,” said Amy. Along the way, the Lesakowskis have been humbled by the support they’ve received. Aside from crushing their fundraising goal of $1 million, the outpouring of support from the community was insane. It was overwhelming how quickly and selflessly Buffalo showed up. The Lesakowskis know that Buffalo is filled with tens if not hundreds of thousands of Sabres fans, bar leagues, and hockey families. After all, they’re members of all three of these groups. Once the idea was hatched to open the event to a wider group, the initial response to the call for teams exceeded expectations. In fact, it was so popular that a wait list had to be made to participate. The teams are comprised of male and female players of all ages. “Eleven-year-olds are the youngest and I believe we have a 71 or 72-year-old,” said Mike as he shuffled through registration papers. While their ages span generations, and their skill levels vary, they’re all unified by a single mission: having fun while fighting cancer. Aside from having a personal cancer story to help motivate them, each team has a fundraising goal and each player has a personal goal as well. The 11 Day Power Play committee supports every player with individual website pages, as well as sharing and monitoring their fundraising efforts. This year’s event has already raised more than five hundred thousand dollars, well on their way to their $1-million goal. Make a difference.

He went to great lengths to personally try to make the teams as even as possible. This year, it’s kind of up in the air. It’s one game comprised of 60 ‘mini-games’ that will be added up to one final score. “It’s funny. No matter what you tell people, it’s a charity game, it’s for fun… if it’s 3-1, the team with 1 is going to try a little harder,” Mike said as he chuckled. “There’s a whole white team and a whole blue team and everyone gets jerseys. We’re gonna keep score per shift and overall and we’ll see how it shakes out. It’ll be very interesting to see how close or not close the game ends up being. The game will have referees and official scorers and all, but it’s a little more casual this year. Since they’re not trying to break any records, they don’t have to follow specific rules. Unlike some fundraisers, all of the monies raised for the 11 Day Power Play go directly to the bottom line. The event is fueled by one part-time event coordinator, six dedicated board members, and hundreds of volunteers from the community. Sara Schumacher is the tireless and dedicated coordinator who works hand-in-hand with the Lesakowskis. More than 60 local companies stepped up to generously support the fundraising goal last year. The response this year has been just as tremendous as local and regional sponsors continue to rally behind the event and its cause which has received both national and international publicity. The endless, unwavering support from the community only adds to the event’s heartwarming “give it all you got” nature. It’s hard not to get caught up in the personal stories of those affected by cancer in some way. The primary beneficiary of this year’s event is once again Roswell Park. However, proceeds will also go to Camp Good Days and the Make a Wish Foundation of Western New York. Both Amy and Mike felt strongly about supporting more organizations that go beyond research and offer joy to so many suffering from cancer or other life-threatening diseases. “Roswell is still by far our primary beneficiary. We’re going to give 80 percent or more to Roswell because that’s where our heart is mostly. But with having so many people, we thought that having a couple more charities involved would open up the audience, too,” said Mike Lesakowski. As an added incentive to raise money, the top three individual fundraising teams get to play against a team comprised of Sabres alumni and Buffalo Beauts. The Beauts are a professional women’s hockey team coached by former Sabres Ric Seiling and Craig Muni. On the final day, Sunday, July 15, they will play one hour each against the top fundraising teams, from 3:00-4:00 p.m., 4:00-5:00 p.m., and 5:00-6:00 p.m. Like most records, the 11 Day Power Play’s Guinness World Record has already been broken. The same group in Alberta, Canada that held the record before Mike and Amy hatched their original plan played an outdoor game earlier this year. “You know, I’m not sure when,” answered Mike thoughtfully. “This event that we’re doing right now, when we first thought of it, we weren’t sure how it was going to be accepted. Kind of similar to last year. We had a lot of people sign up really quickly so it was obvious there was a lot of interest. I think the way it’s played out, there’s going to be interest going forward. A lot of the teams that have signed up and people that have already said, ‘Hey, I hope you guys continue to do this because it’s a really cool idea.’ So this particular event, we’re hoping it’s going to live on. And then we already have ideas for some other events. To answer your question, I don’t know. I would say if not next year, then the following year for sure. “The guys in Edmonton have done it… I think this was their sixth time since 2003. It’s about every other year. There are teams registered from all over the map, including one from Canada and one from North Carolina. In addition to the actual players, referees and Zamboni drivers, running an event of this magnitude requires tremendous planning, logistics and manpower. The game never stops; there are always two teams playing round the clock, 24/7. Volunteers are needed to help coordinate a constant flow of people throughout the 11 days. They’ll help families and fans find their way around, sell merchandise, and offer a helpful hand wherever needed. The game never stops, so volunteers are always needed, be it 2 a.m. on Tuesday or 9 p.m. on Saturday. There will also be live music every day from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Bands have signed up, donating their time to add to the festive atmosphere at the arena. Last year, 12-year-old Emmett Jakubowski was the Event Ambassador for the 11 Day Power Play. The passionate hockey player with an infectious smile got back on the ice for the first time after enduring a bone marrow transplant to skate with the 40 original team members. The seventh-grader, who has benefited from all three organizations—Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make a Wish Foundation—will be back again in the same capacity, plus he’ll captain his own team of some fellow cancer survivors. Ethan Kane, another 12-year-old, heard about the event and wanted to get involved as an integral part of his Bar Mitzvah. A requirement of his process is to volunteer for something that rights a wrong – he chose the 11 Day Community Shift. Ethan is the captain of a team comprised of half classmates and half hockey mates from his travel team. The vigor and dedication of such young supporters to help others through this hockey experience is beyond inspirational.

And if you’re in the western New York area from July 5-15, stop into the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift.

I think the way it ’s played out , there ’s going to be interest going forward . A lot of the teams that have signed up and people that have already said , ‘ Hey , I hope you guys continue to do this because it ’s a really cool idea . ’ So this particular event , we ’re hoping it ’s going to live on . And then we already have ideas for some other events . To answer your question , I do n’t know . I would say if not next year , then the following year for sure . “ The guys in Edmonton have done it … I think this was their sixth time since 2003 . It ’s about every other year . There are teams registered from all over the map , including one from Canada and one from North Carolina . In addition to the actual players , referees and Zamboni drivers , running an event of this magnitude requires tremendous planning , logistics and manpower . The game never stops ; there are always two teams playing round the clock , 24/7 . Volunteers are needed to help coordinate a constant flow of people throughout the 11 days . They ’ll help families and fans find their way around , sell merchandise , and offer a helpful hand wherever needed . The game never stops , so volunteers are always needed , be it 2 a.m. on Tuesday or 9 p.m. on Saturday . There will also be live music every day from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Bands have signed up , donating their time to add to the festive atmosphere at the arena . Last year , 12 - year - old Emmett Jakubowski was the Event Ambassador for the 11 Day Power Play . The passionate hockey player with an infectious smile got back on the ice for the first time after enduring a bone marrow transplant to skate with the 40 original team members . The seventh - grader , who has benefited from all three organizations — Roswell Park , Camp Good Days and Make a Wish Foundation — will be back again in the same capacity , plus he ’ll captain his own team of some fellow cancer survivors . Ethan Kane , another 12 - year - old , heard about the event and wanted to get involved as an integral part of his Bar Mitzvah . A requirement of his process is to volunteer for something that rights a wrong – he chose the 11 Day Community Shift . Ethan is the captain of a team comprised of half classmates and half hockey mates from his travel team . The vigor and dedication of such young supporters to help others through this hockey experience is beyond inspirational . If you ’d like to donate , volunteer or show your support by purchasing some 11 Day Power Play merchandise , visit 11DayPowerPlay.com . And if you ’re in the western New York area from July 5 - 15 , stop into the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift . It ’s free to attend and open to the public during the entire 11 days in July . covering the 11 Day Power Play event last year .

Birds that Vladimir Putin tried to save have 'almost disappeared' due to illegal shooting. Only a 'few pairs' of the West Siberian population of the Siberian crane now remain in the lower reaches of the Ob River, warned Dr Lev Vartapetov, deputy director of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals in Novosibirsk. In the 1980s, there were at least 280 cranes which wintered in the Keoladeo Nature Reserve near Agra in India. By 2012, the population had sunk to just 18 birds. The same year, President Putin took part in an audacious exercise to persuade captivity-bred cranes to migrate from the Yamal peninsula in Western Siberia to central Asia, rather than Iran or Pakistan. He flew in a hang-glider to lead six Siberian cranes in flight in September 2012. However, the cranes failed to take the hint and did not go south that year. The crisis is in marked contrast with Siberian cranes in the Sakha Republic - or Yakutia - which winter in China. Experts are working at Oka State Nature Reserve in Ryazan region work is underway to 'restore the fading Western Siberian population' of cranes, he said. Meanwhile, strong warnings have been issued in Pakistan over the threat to the birds. In January, Kashif Majeed Salik, a senior official of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), expressed the fear over a growing trend of illegal shooting of migratory Siberian cranes and Bustards in winter. 'If the practice continues, extinction will be the ultimate fate for the endangered migratory birds which would also badly hit the eco-system,' he said. The cranes were being 'hunted indiscriminately', he said. Ten months ago, newspaper The Nation warned that 'up to 25,000 Siberian cranes are killed or trapped in the country due to excessive hunting', citing a revealing analysis by Divisional Forest Officer Wildlife Abdul Halim who spoke at a gathering of hunters. Shooting and live trapping of birds had separated 25,000 more cranes from their pairs, he said. Widespread hunting 'posed a serious threat to the survival of cranes and, therefore, the government had banned hunting', he said. Illegal hunting should be avoided, he said. 'Hunters should act upon the relevant laws. They should extend support to the wildlife department to save cranes and other wildlife species and their natural habitats,' he said. The tragedy of the depletion of these birds is highlighted by an announcement in November 2014 that 'the last Siberian crane has returned to Iran for the seventh consecutive year'. Locals named the crane Omid - Persian for 'Hope' - when it landed at Fereydunkenar wetland after a winter migration. 'Omid flies a distance of about 6,000 km each year to arrive in Iran,' said the report from Mehr News Agency. While the attention to this crane is commendable, its rarity nowadays is so sad. Fereydunkenar is a resort on the Caspian Sea. Its wetland has one of the richest ecosystems among the northern cities of Iran. Dr Vartapetov's institute is part of the the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Thank God the heroic efforts. My kids favorite movie is fly away home. There needs to be more balance in our globally connected universe. If I can he!p let me know. Why is mankind so passionate about killing ,cranes.... birds...bears...gorillas ...lions...apes etc. etc. and also killing each other. Why oh why ,can't we control our barbarian instincts. I wish this crane 金山小白鶴 could back to its family land to live with its families. We adore this crane 金山小白鶴. Such a sad indication of how man's tunnel vision for "supremacy trophies" can alter the fate of another species...one that is just as valid, just as crucial to our "big picture" When will man wake up to the butterfly effect...if our brains are supposedly more sculptured why does this sort of devastating savagery exist?

We've been up since 5:45 this morning. We're grown adults, yet still get so excited about Christmas Eve. Monty has already been snooping under the tree this morning, while Mr. B is snuggled next to the fireplace watching a "feel-good" Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel. There is a magic and warmth that comes with this day each year. I was wrapping a few presents the other night when Mr. B looked at me and said, "I am excited for kids one day and the magic that comes with Christmas Eve." I agreed, yet didn't realize that growing up Santa visited the Bores house on Christmas Eve(ning) while they were at church. Scott and his dad would sit in the car and wait for mom to "finish doing her hair" before they were off to hold candle sticks and sing Silent Night. They'd return home to an empty glass of milk, a few cookie crumbles and presents lying under the tree. He said it was magical. While holding your lit candle sticks this evening, may we all imagine the real reason we celebrate this season. "Silent night, Holy night. All is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin , mother and child. Holy infant so, tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, Holy night. Shepherds quake, at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah. Christ the Savior is born." When I moved to Colorado 4 years ago, I realized I didn't have a nativity set. I searched high and low for a manger that had a "removable" baby Jesus. There is just a sense of excitement I get on Christmas morning when I finally get to put the little porcelain baby in the manger and whisper, "Happy birthday Baby Jesus." From our house to yours, we wish you the most magical Christmas. Although missing my family this year, we will be celebrating our Annual Bores Christmas sleepover at my in-laws. There will be spilled wine, crab legs, dart game competitions, and loads of laughs.

The Catholic Church in Singapore is saddened to learn of the killing of one of our brothers-in-Christ, the 86 year old Reverend Father Jacques Hamel in France in a place of worship. Such cruel acts are designed to instil fear and divisiveness in our society. The Church condemns all acts of terrorism and violence. We must beware of the danger of using religion for political motives or for spreading an ideology. All true religions must promote peace, love, tolerance and uphold dignity of life of every human person. We cannot allow acts of terrorism to succeed in dividing our society, or destroy our peaceful co-existence between and among peoples of all religions, races and cultures. It behoves us as government, organisations and individuals to stand together to do everything we can to protect our unity and our way of life. Let us be vigilant at all times against those who seek to strike fear in our lives and to pray for peace in our country and the world at large.

Brexit uncertainties may be giving fresh impetus to many UK resident non-UK domiciliaries who are thinking about their residency plans. However, for res non-doms, it’s important not to lose sight of another key tax change now on the horizon – the change in the Inheritance Tax (IHT) deemed domiciled rules. A person is deemed domiciled for IHT purposes if he has been resident in the UK for not less than 17 out of the last 20 tax years, ending with the tax year in question. Even a day’s residence in a tax year will cause that tax year to count as a UK residency year. That’s why a little over 15 calendar years of continued residence can be enough to cause a person to be deemed domiciled, if he takes up residence in the UK right at the end of a UK tax year. Being deemed domiciled for IHT purposes means that all of a person’s estate (broadly that means his directly held assets wherever situated in the world) are subject to 40% IHT on death. This is regardless of his actual domicile. Planning can be undertaken to shelter assets from exposure to IHT before a non-dom becomes deemed domiciled but it is easy to miss the deadline. Once a person is deemed domiciled, it will take three complete UK tax years of non-residency to lose the deemed domiciled status. So exposure to IHT can continue even after the non-dom has left the UK. Draft legislation, currently set to be included in the Finance Bill 2017, reduces the 17 year threshold. It is proposed that, with effect from 6 April 2017, UK tax residency of at least 15 years out of the last 20 years in which the year of assessment falls will suffice to cause a person to be deemed domiciled. As a consequence, res non-doms who are already deemed domiciled under the 17/20 year rule and who decide to leave the UK on or after 6 April 2017 will have to remain non-resident for a minimum of five complete tax years before they lose their exposure to IHT. Res non-doms who will be affected by this but who leave in the current UK tax year will be taxed under the old rules, where deemed domiciled status is lost after three complete tax years outside the UK. The above position is modified if the person is actually domiciled in one of the few countries with an Estate Duty Double Taxation Treaty with the UK (such as France, Italy and India) or is a widow/widower and has elected to be deemed UK domiciled. All other res non-doms: take note!

Jewel Samad/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Melody C. Barnes preparing to play golf with President Obama on Sunday in Fort Belvoir, Va. Melody C. Barnes, a White House aide, broke through President Obama’s green ceiling Sunday afternoon. Ms. Barnes, the president’s chief domestic policy adviser, became the first woman to play a round of golf with Mr. Obama since he tee’d off his presidency in January. The milestone is noteworthy as Mr. Obama has come under criticism recently for hosting a basketball game earlier this month for members of his cabinet and congress that included no women (“Bunk,” Mr. Obama told NBC in an interview last week when asked about the controversy over the estrogen-free game). Shortly after 1 p.m. on a crisp and sunny fall afternoon, Mr. Obama and Ms. Barnes took to the links at the U.S Army’s Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The president wore a black short-sleeve shirt while Ms. Barnes donned a baseball cap and a dark long-sleeve shirt, according to a White House pool report prepared by Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times. It was not immediately known what Mr. Obama and Ms. Barnes shot on Sunday. This story is “Bunk”! Having a slow news day, New York Times? When it came to having women in the inner circle, Obama talks a good game but W walked it where O merely talks it. Who cares? I like to play golf with the guys just to be a guy… talk sports, have a beer, tell off-color jokes. The President (any president) has to spend all day being PC and inclusive with the pressure of providing for a nation of people, fighting two wars, and dealing with global crises. Let the guy play some basketball with the guys or pick his Sunday foursome with whomever he wants. Yeesh… this is NOT news. I thought the Silly Season ended on Labor Day. I hope she didn’t “let him” win! I think Obama has long since proved his bona fides as a strong feminist. But does the absurd media coverage the all-male basketball game has received mean that every time Obama moves a muscle, it wlll be scrutinized for politically correctness according to extreme feminists??? Well, I am certainly confident that anyone who considers the all-male basketball game to be serious evidence of Obama’s sexism would never condone a bunch of women getting together without a male present . What is this, cable? I read the Times to get away from this silliness. Seriously? Who cares who he plays golf with? Who cares what kind of clothes he or his guest was wearing? You would think the New York Times would have more to report on with two wars going on and Obama’s rating in the toilet. I’ve always been a tomboy…sports fan, more comfortable hanging with the guys. I totally understand the bond amongst men, often centered around beer, sports, cigars (i.e. fun stuff!). It’s a wonderful thing, just like the unique bond amongst women. The problem arises when work and important decisions are made during these all-male activities, whether intentional or not. I don’t know what to say ladies…take up golf I suppose. Unbelievable. This is “political correctness” without common sense. Dangerous. I am ok if there are baby showers were just women are invited, I am ok if there are sports team only for girls, I am ok if there are bathrooms only for women, and I am ok if the President chooses to play sports with men. People can read way too much into things, and forget context, common sense, perspective and also a bit of humor. Honestly, if the original story had not been on the front page, I would have thought it was a story from The Onion. I guess when the media is on a quest to find fault with someone, all areas are open. Shouldn’t Obama first decide about troops in Afghainstan before he takes time off to play golf? my father made me take golf lessons during junior high school and high school – he said it was for my future. he was right… once the office found out that i played golf, i was invited to play with the “guys.” it’s true… a lot of work issues are discussed during a game – i don’t think it’s intentional but it happens. Yeah, John Drew, just like it’s a lot easier to be a right wing Christian if you don’t apply all those silly principles to your own life–you know, the ones about feeding the poor, loving your neighbor, and all that nonesense. Oh, puh-leeeze. Is there really nothing else to talk about? Many times men are establishing relationships that further their careers when they get togther in activites such as these. Decisions are often made in such settings. If the all male club is sustained, women are put at a disadvantage. The people invited to such events are often the real inner circle. When women are excluded, they are put at a disadvantage. If HRC had been elected president, how would men like it if she only invited women to all social functions and shut out men? My question is hypothetical since HRC did not win, but it would be interesting to see men’s reactions to such a scenario. For all of Obama’s talk, I do think he harbors sexist attitudes. “When it came to having women in the inner circle, Obama talks a good game but W walked it where O merely talks it. In response to Liz: If you are playing golf with people who are talking about work you aren’t really playing golf. First of all, obviously the president and his staff seems to have realized that this is a problem. Why else, all of a sudden, Melody Barnes is playing golf with him? Second, to all those people dismissing this story: it’s not “just” a basketball game. Things like these might seem harmless on the surface, but can actually have a deleterious effect on women’s upward movement in the workplace. It is exactly these kinds of informal, male networks that can give men the edge, when it comes time for performance reviews, bonuses, allocation of juicy assignments, promotions, etc. This doesn’t mean that men aren’t allowed to play basketball anymore. It just means that corporate bosses need to be a lot of more sensitive about organizing after-work activities that are inclusive of everyone. If that means that you don’t play basketball with your office, but with an external community league, so be it. It won’t be the end of the world. Being an egalitarian leader means having to make some sacrifices. We women who golf learned a long time ago that it helps solidify relationships, make men more comfortable off the course, and allows boht players to witness outside the office what we should already know from inside the office – namely, how people behave when things go your way – and when they don’t. Is it with honesty, humility, humor, and strength? It’s a great litmus test for any relationship, professional and personal. Good for President Obama for opening up the game. What Obama organized is a text book example of a boys-only club. The president is never “off duty,” particularly when interacting with his employees. Every moment of the president’s day is scheduled. An opportunity to spend time with him is precious to anyone who wants to have an influence on public policy. That’s why some people spend tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of dollars to play a round with him. This is Politics 101. Every nay-saying commenter here acknowledged that these games help the president bond with his staff and other advisors. Bonding with your boss is important. Women deserve an equal opportunity to do this. If you don’t think its a problem that, after 22 golf games and numerous basketball games, NO women – until now – were given an equal opportunity to get face time and bond with the president, you are both a sexist and an ignoramus. And don’t fool yourselves – if a president Hillary Clinton organized 22+ golf games and a dozen bridge games and didn’t invite any male staff, you male reporters and pundits and commenters would be shrieking with outrage. You’d be crying about man-hating and calling for her impeachment. Admit it. We do NOT need a White House modeled on Mad Men. If that’s the change B. has in mind, he can stuff it.

Should n’t Obama first decide about troops in Afghainstan before he takes time off to play golf ? my father made me take golf lessons during junior high school and high school – he said it was for my future . he was right … once the office found out that i played golf , i was invited to play with the “ guys . ” it ’s true … a lot of work issues are discussed during a game – i do n’t think it ’s intentional but it happens . Yeah , John Drew , just like it ’s a lot easier to be a right wing Christian if you do n’t apply all those silly principles to your own life – you know , the ones about feeding the poor , loving your neighbor , and all that nonesense . Oh , puh - leeeze . Is there really nothing else to talk about ? Many times men are establishing relationships that further their careers when they get togther in activites such as these . Decisions are often made in such settings . If the all male club is sustained , women are put at a disadvantage . The people invited to such events are often the real inner circle . When women are excluded , they are put at a disadvantage . If HRC had been elected president , how would men like it if she only invited women to all social functions and shut out men ? My question is hypothetical since HRC did not win , but it would be interesting to see men ’s reactions to such a scenario . For all of Obama ’s talk , I do think he harbors sexist attitudes . “ When it came to having women in the inner circle , Obama talks a good game but W walked it where O merely talks it . In response to Liz : If you are playing golf with people who are talking about work you are n’t really playing golf . First of all , obviously the president and his staff seems to have realized that this is a problem . Why else , all of a sudden , Melody Barnes is playing golf with him ? Second , to all those people dismissing this story : it ’s not “ just ” a basketball game . Things like these might seem harmless on the surface , but can actually have a deleterious effect on women ’s upward movement in the workplace . It is exactly these kinds of informal , male networks that can give men the edge , when it comes time for performance reviews , bonuses , allocation of juicy assignments , promotions , etc . This does n’t mean that men are n’t allowed to play basketball anymore . It just means that corporate bosses need to be a lot of more sensitive about organizing after - work activities that are inclusive of everyone . If that means that you do n’t play basketball with your office , but with an external community league , so be it . It wo n’t be the end of the world . Being an egalitarian leader means having to make some sacrifices . We women who golf learned a long time ago that it helps solidify relationships , make men more comfortable off the course , and allows boht players to witness outside the office what we should already know from inside the office – namely , how people behave when things go your way – and when they do n’t . Is it with honesty , humility , humor , and strength ? It ’s a great litmus test for any relationship , professional and personal . Good for President Obama for opening up the game . What Obama organized is a text book example of a boys - only club . The president is never “ off duty , ” particularly when interacting with his employees . Every moment of the president ’s day is scheduled . An opportunity to spend time with him is precious to anyone who wants to have an influence on public policy . That ’s why some people spend tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of dollars to play a round with him . This is Politics 101 . Every nay - saying commenter here acknowledged that these games help the president bond with his staff and other advisors . Bonding with your boss is important . Women deserve an equal opportunity to do this . If you do n’t think its a problem that , after 22 golf games and numerous basketball games , NO women – until now – were given an equal opportunity to get face time and bond with the president , you are both a sexist and an ignoramus . And do n’t fool yourselves – if a president Hillary Clinton organized 22 + golf games and a dozen bridge games and did n’t invite any male staff , you male reporters and pundits and commenters would be shrieking with outrage . You ’d be crying about man - hating and calling for her impeachment . Admit it . We do NOT need a White House modeled on Mad Men . If that ’s the change B. has in mind , he can stuff it .

Those of you who know me are probably aware of the fact that I am an "AgVocate". No matter where I go, I am always eager to have a conversation with someone about agriculture and food topics. But I must admit, I was caught a bit off guard when I found myself busting myths about agriculture in the local bowling alley. A group of friends had decided to get together for some mid-week fun. We are all 30 somethings, well educated, and, I would argue, well adjusted (despite what you might think about Millennials). This particular group of friends are the ones I refer to as the "Wine group". You see, when you are married to someone who works as a winemaker, you tend to hang out with people who work in the industry. Nonetheless, on this particular occasion we found ourselves with buckets of beer on the table instead of the usual bottles of wine. Since we were in a bowling alley, I made a crack about how we should be drinking White Russians. For those of you who miss the reference, go watch The Big Lebowski, RIGHT NOW. Ok, no wait, finish reading this post first :). You see, in The Big Lebowski the main character is a huge fan of White Russians. If you have never had a White Russian before, it is a mixture of vodka, coffee liqueur and cream/milk served over ice. I joked that we would probably have to bring our own milk, since I doubted they have it behind the bar at the Rollin' Stones in Penticton. At that point, my one friend piped up and asked "Do you just buy regular milk at the grocery store?" The question caught me a bit off guard, but I answered, "Of course. Regular 2%". She proceeded to tell me how earlier that day she had been in conversation with her colleagues at work. One had mentioned how she only buys organic milk because she doesn't want her kids "pumped full of growth hormone." I have certainly heard this statement before, but it never ceases to amaze me how some people continue to have these misinterpretations of the realities of our food and farming systems in Canada. In order to set the record straight, I assured my friend that no milk produced in Canada contains growth hormones, and that the only animals that may receive synthetic hormones are beef cattle. By this time there were a few other friends from our group listening in, so I took the opportunity to continue (once a teacher, always a teacher). I shared that when it comes to antibiotics, farmers will choose to treat their animals appropriately in order to address their illness, just like we do with humans. But, I quickly added that treated dairy cows have their milk separated from the rest of the milk, so it doesn't enter the tank. Everyone was surprised to learn that the milk is tested at the farm, and that if it contains traces of things like antibiotics, the farmer has to pay a fine and the milk is dumped. The conversation stopped there since I had to go bowl my next frame. However the next morning I sent my friend some additional information so that she can share with her colleagues. You may find them interesting and informative too. My friend did share this information with her colleagues. Apparently they were surprised by the information, and wondered why these facts are not more widely known. I wonder the same thing. Canada has one of the safest food systems in the world. When I go to the grocery store, I feel confident knowing that whether I buy conventional or organic the food is strictly tested and is safe to consume. I also know that if I happen to buy something organic, it is going to have the same nutritional value as the conventional alternative. It is not "healthier" because it is organic. I believe in choice. I believe that many Canadians are privileged to have the financial means to make whatever choice they want to in the grocery store. If you are buying organic milk because it supports your values, that's great. But if you are buying organic milk because you think it is healthier, or safer, please watch the video above. I believe in choice, but I believe it should be an informed choice. By the way, in case you are wondering, beer does not improve my bowling game. Maybe next time I will stick with a glass of milk - just regular old 2%, thank you very much.

Struggling with PTSD, James battles his inner psyche and his addiction. He's trying to keep himself together while falling apart. An honest account of personal struggle, touching on themes of addiction, loss, alienation and recovery, The Mind of James Svengal is a heartfelt, uncompromising and surreal account of one man’s journey back to himself. However, first he must confront truths about himself, his relationships and his past. Follow this troubled artist, hooked on experimental pills, as he takes a series of surreal trips into his subconscious – but is he ready for what he’ll find there? The Mind of James Svengal is a full colour, 180 page graphic novel by Lyndon White and Jordan Sam Adams. In a lot of contemporary fiction, mental health is either underrepresented or misrepresented; often trivialised or used as a plot device rather than explored properly. Having both had first-hand experience of how mental health issues can affect people, ourselves included, we wanted to draw from our own personal experiences and present an honest, respectful account of a person struggling with these issues, with a view to starting an open and positive conversation around mental health. At its core, The Mind of James Svengal is a character drama focusing on the consequences that James' coping mechanisms have on his relationships, work life and well being. Lyndon is a UK freelance illustrator, writer and comic artist. Working with publishers such as Blue Fox Comics, Hellbound Media, Disconnected Press, ComicHaus, Capstone Press, Lyndon is a rising star in the comics industry. Lyndon takes the essence of the narrative and ensures that he adds his unique flare of undertones including horror and surrealism. Jordan is a writer of comics and TV. He has written comics for Disconnected Press, The Psychedelic Journal and 100% Biodegradable, along with screenplays for Sony Pictures Europe, Prince TV and Tirana Films. Jordan has garnered praise for his clear storytelling, witty dialogue and innovative concepts. Simon is an actor, director and producer who also writes comics, novels, plays, poetry, and (award winning) film scripts. He co-founded Blue Fox Comics with his wife Marielle, and together they have successfully crowdfunded numerous comics, including Hexes, Gone, Sinners, Robyn and his most recent project, The Girl in the Midnight Gown. He is also the co-organiser of the Meanwhile... Comic Con, held in Chichester. Blue Fox Comics is a Sussex based independent small publisher, specialising in comics and novels. Since 2015, they have published a wide range of titles, bringing high quality in both production, art and writing to the comics community. 2018 will be their busiest year, with multiple titles ready to be printed. We've already spent the time writing the story, creating the artwork, editing it all, contacting printers, working out costs and preparing the book for print. All of which has take a huge amount of time, especially due to the size of the book. We won't be taking any money from the Kickstarter campaign for ourselves, we just want to raise the money to cover the printing costs. The Mind of James Svengal graphic novel. UK comic size (240mm by 167mm), softback, full colour, 180 pages. A3 prints. 250gsm Tintoretto Gesso. Original drawings. Pencil & inked on 300gsm Bristol Board.

In the cases where sperm is retrieved by surgical methods such as TESA, TESE, or micro TESE, if adequate volume of sperms is available, the testicular tissue can be frozen to be used for other treatments and to eliminate the need for another operation in consideration of possible future attempts. In addition, sperm sample can be collected and frozen in advance of the treatment for patients with who chemotherapy or radiotherapy is planned, or for persons who have difficulty in providing their sperm. Frozen tissue or sperm samples can be stored for up to 3 years in special tanks with -196 ºC containing liquid nitrogen. Patient’s written consent is required for freezing procedure.
In the cases where sperm is retrieved by surgical methods such as TESA , TESE , or micro TESE , if adequate volume of sperms is available , the testicular tissue can be frozen to be used for other treatments and to eliminate the need for another operation in consideration of possible future attempts .

Jesus is generosity in flesh. All that he had--his power, his life, his comfort--was poured out and given away for the salvation of others and the restoration of all things. As his people we are more than recipients of this generosity. We are invited to be imitators of such generosity, to experience the joy of giving away all that we have. Just like Jesus. In this series we will examine four areas of life where “generous living” is incredibly difficult and desperately needed, yet done first, best, and for all by Jesus Christ.

What makes an inline six more reliable than a V8? 1. Way less moving parts. Less pistons, less rocker arms, less injectors, ect..... The more moving parts the more there is a chance to have something break. 2. In line 6 engines are smoother running than a V engine as the pistons are not fighting on another on a power stroke. Not that it affects the reliability at all but look under the hood of a Dodge with a Cummins you can actually see the engine and even work on it for that matter. Look under the hood of a Ford or Chebby, other than changing oil what can you easily work on with those two diesel equipped pickups? Inline engines develop their torque at a much lower RPM. Less RPM's equals less wear and tear on the engine. While Detroit Diesel had a long good run with V engine configuarations, the Cummins 903 is a POS, the Cummins 555 is a POS, the Cat 3208 is prone to crack the block around the main caps, especilaly if turbo charged. Cat 3408 is prone to block cracking and even crank cracking. All the engines listed above are very expensive to work on when repairs are needed. Over the road trucks in the 70's thought V engines were the way to go, so did the agriculture industry and look at the change in the early to mid 80's and today, 99% of that equipment is all inline 6 engines. V engines are used in big equipment applications such as trains, ships ect.... work well when spun at low RPM's but their use in an automotive industry at high RPM's is not good. Just my two cents on the subject since I work in this industry. Wrong on that Inline 6s are "smoother". They have perfect primary and secondary balance, but the actually power delivery is not smoother. Part of the reason why people like I6 "smoothness" over say a 4 cylinder, is the fact that I6s HAVE over lapping power strokes, "fighting each other" as you say. Have you taken a look at a 6.9/7.3 IDI V8 diesel? Those are about as simple as they get, and you can easily do a lot of work on them. Its all about the injection system and emissions, the more complicated the injection system and emissions standards, the more wires, hoses, actuators, etc.. going all over the place. Cummins used a relatively archaic injection system (compared to Ford and Chevy) upto 2002.5 or so before they finally went common rail. Take a peak under the hood of a 6.7 Cummins equipped Dodge, just as packed in with electronics and other components as the V8 diesels. I6s making more torque is also BS. Its all about the bore/stroke relationship, even just the factory tune can make a big difference. Heres proof of this: The Navistar MaxxForce 7 (The commerical version of the 6.4 PSD) makes 620 ft-lbs @ 1400 RPM, while in comparison, the latest 5.9 Cummins generates 610 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM. I do not doubt that the bore and stroke play a big part into the power on an engine, but the bore and stroke of the Navistar built engines used in truck applications were the same bore and stroke used in Ford applications. Navistar uses programing with low horsepower, high torque and low RPM. Ford used high torque, high horse power and high RPM's in their programing. You are not comparing like to like. If you are going to throw a 5.9 into the picture you need to compare to the 6.0 (VT365). You have added displacement using the 6.4 so that would be more comparable to a 6.7 Cummins which last I saw had 650 FT LBS of torque. On the Cummins website a VT903 twin turbo 14.8L V-8 has a max torque of 2086 (Nm). The current inline 6 (QSX 15) with 15L of displacement and a single turbo puts out max torque of 2542 (Nm). In the above example the V-8 has more horse power but lower torque. The the Dodge Spec 6.7 cummins also has a displacement advantage, and generates that 650 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM, vs. 1400 of the MaxxForce 7. Now the ISB 300 (6.7 commercial engine) generates 620 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM as well. The Commerical 6.7 also has one more power level, the 325 HP which has 750 ft-lbs of torque, but at 1800 RPM! In this case, it looks like Cummins is the one with the high RPM high HP engines, and its a straight 6! I'm not trying to slam cummins, or navistar, but I'm just trying to point out that engine configuration has very very little to do with how much torque it makes, and at what RPM it makes it at. I was just hoping for a 7.0l I6 sleeved engine with a Cat emblem on the side. It was more for the reputation and sound than anything else. They(The Big 3) have had their share of the problems, but in the little I know(nowhere close to most of you) the simplest of problems has to be with the Cummins. The Navistar 6.0L and newer have soured a lot of peoples' opinions about diesels in Fords. My favorite engine is the Cummins, but unfortunately I can't stand the TRASH built around it. Chebbys in my opinion are worthless as far as real work goes, and again this is just my .02 cents worth and not intended to start a debate about what is better. Getting more power out of my 300.

LL Cool J has become the first rapper to receive the prestigious Kennedy Centre Honour at the weekend, in a ceremony which also recognised Gloria Estefan and Lionel Richie. LL Cool J has become the first rapper to receive the prestigious Kennedy Centre Honour. The 'Mama Said Knock You Out' hitmaker was recognised with the US' highest achievement for a performer in a ceremony on Saturday (02.12.17) evening, with Lionel Richie, Gloria Estefan, 'All in the Family' producer Norman Lear and dancer-and-actress Carmen de Lavallade also picking up the accolade at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.. The 'Lip Sync Battle' star was introduced to the room by Darryl 'D.M.C.' McDaniels, who said it was "crazy" for a rap star to be included, a sentiment echoed by LL Cool J, who described himself and his friend as "the guys on the other side of the tracks". He added: "I want you to know that the inner city is a whirlpool. Every now and then somebody like me will make it out. "What you're looking at is possibilities - what every young inner-city black man could potentially be if given the opportunity and if someone put their arm around him." And after the event, the 'Phenomenon' singer paid tribute to other hip hop stars on his Instagram account. He wrote: "I believe that we are built to do anything we put our minds and proper actions to. You have all the tools inside you that are required for you to fulfill your GOD given purpose. "This one is for those who came before me and those who followed me. We were sent to this planet to love and inspire one another. Manifest our dreams and make them a reality. I hope you're inspired by me because I'm absolutely Inspired by you. "Mic check 1212 Let's ride!! #KCHonors #StateDepartmentDinner #hiphop (sic)" Kenneth Edmonds, who is better known as Babyface, praised Lionel as a "surprisingly nice" guy for a "superstar genius". The 'Hello' singer opened his speech by saying "I love you", noting his fans always want to hear him say that. He added: "I'm in the business of reminding the world that love is the answer." Gloria was honoured by Rita Moreno, actress-and-choreographer Debbie Allen toasted Carmen, and journalist Bill Moyers celebrated Norman. The event is usually attended by the President and First Lady, but President Donald Trump avoided a showdown in August when he revealed he and wife Melania would not be attending, following Norman's declaration he wouldn't attend if the controversial US leader was there, while other artists had expressed an unease at meeting him. Kennedy Center officials previously admitted they were "grateful" to the couple for not attending. Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter and Chairman David M. Rubenstein said in a statement: "In choosing not to participate in this year's honor's activities, the administration has graciously signaled its respect for the Kennedy Center and ensures the honours gala remains a deservingly special moment for the honourees." Ahead of the intimate ceremony, the honourees attended a state dinner the evening before.
