At present, a married couple cannot begin divorce proceedings until a year has lapsed from the date of their marriage. There are, however, instances where a marriage may fall outside of these rules based on the grounds that it is either void or voidable.
How soon can you divorce after getting married?
Every California divorce case has a 6-month waiting period before the court can finalize your divorce. This means that even if you file for divorce the same day you were married, the soonest you can get divorced is 6 months after the wedding.
Can I divorce before 1 year?
In case you wish to file for a divorce before this one year, you will have to go for a contested divorce and make your grounds very clear to the court. In some dire cases, such as torture, harassment, and other hardships, the court will grant a divorce even before the one-year mark.
Can I get alimony after 1 year of marriage?
If your marriage was very short, permanent support may never become necessary. For example, if your marriage lasted only one year, you can expect to pay or receive alimony for six months; but this obligation may be met through temporary support payments.
Can I get divorced after 3 months of marriage?
For married persons to get a divorce:
If you and your spouse have lived in California for at least 6 months but in different counties for at least 3 months, you can file in either county. If you do not meet the residency requirement, you can still file for a legal separation.
Which is better annulment or divorce?
While a divorce legally ends a marriage, an annulment declares the marriage null and void, as if it never existed. The end result is the same for both options – the parties are each free to marry again.
What are the five stages of divorce?
The five stages of divorce include cognitive separation, emotional divorce, physical separation, legal dissolution, and spiritual un-bonding. Until the emotional divorce is complete, the physical connection may continue, thus keeping couples still “married” years after the formal divorce.
Do you have to wait 12 months for a divorce?
Separation. Separation generally means living apart from each other. It can be unilaterally initiated by either spouse, or mutually decided. To prove that your marriage has ‘irretrievably broken down,’ in order to obtain a divorce, you must have been separated for at least 12 months.
How many months do u have to be separated before divorce?
Cutting off waiting period for divorce by six months under the Hindu Marriage Act, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that divorce can be granted without the mandatory 18-month period of separation between the couple.
Can I get alimony if my husband cheated?
If you committed adultery, but your spouse permitted it or forgave you and carried on with your marriage even once the affair ended, your instance of adultery will not likely prevent you from receiving an award of alimony.
Does length of marriage affect alimony?
The “length of the marriage” affects the kind of alimony. Usually judges order more alimony for longer marriages; the longer the marriage, the more alimony a judge will order.
What determines if a spouse gets alimony?
A judge will assess if one spouse has a demonstrated financial need and if the other spouse has the ability to pay alimony. Alimony is generally awarded in cases where the spouses have very unequal earning power and have been married a long time.
What makes a marriage null and void?
Two of the most common underlying reasons for considering a marriage void are the illegal acts of “bigamy” and “incest”. A bigamous marriage exists when one of the spouses was legally married to someone else when the marriage took place. An incestuous marriage occurs when the spouses are close family members.
Can I get divorced after 6 months of marriage?
Divorce by mutual consent can be obtained within six months, but no petition in such a case can be filed within first year of marriage. There also has to be gap of six months between the first and second motions. The court can waive this cooling off period in some cases.
Can you annul a marriage for cheating?
No, cheating is not grounds for annulment. Annulments are available only for specific statutory grounds which include such things as incest, bigamy, and mental incapacity.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a widely used culinary spice, found in most freshly prepared meals.Usually paired with salt, and a staple at most dinner tables in Australia, black pepper also has medicinal qualities.
Medicinally, black pepper is frequently used for relieving respiratory congestion, caused by coughs, colds and other conditions which produce excess mucous. In addition to its circulation stimulating properties, black pepper has been found to accelerate metabolism, increasing thermogenesis (heat production) and has also been found to stimulate serotonin production in the brain. It has analgesic and anti-bacterial effects and can be used to treat toothache.
In rats fed a high fat diet, the administration of black pepper was found to significantly reduce oxidative damage and inflammatory markers. Researchers were able to show that with ongoing pepper supplementation, they were able to reduce these markers to near normal levels (or that of the control group fed a normal diet).
Another study investigated the antioxidant effects of black pepper and how it may help to treat/prevent Alzheimers disease. It was found that administration of black pepper significantly increased working memory, memory performance and displayed antioxidant activity .
Other studies to date have also showed black pepper to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity, believed to be the result of its down-regulation of inflammatory cytokines (cell-signalling molecules) and reduction of cell proliferation (uncontrolled cell growth)associated with cancer development.
Black pepper is used widely in all types of cooking. It gives a nice little kick to salads, sandwiches, gravy, dips and pates. It’s a great addition to warming winter soups, stews and casseroles, goes well with all kinds of meat and can be added to roast vegetables. Black pepper is so versatile, it can be added to almost anything!

An increasing number of older Americans are filing for bankruptcy, with long-term care costs often one of the driving factors, according to a new study.
The rate at which seniors (65 and over) file for bankruptcy has more than doubled since 1991, researchers found. The percentage of elders in the bankruptcy system, meanwhile, has nearly quintupled. The magnitude of that growth has been so great that the broader graying of the U.S. population “can explain only a small portion of the effect,” authors note.
Data, derived from the Consumer Bankruptcy Project, shows that seniors report they’re struggling with inadequate income and unmanageable costs of healthcare. The median bankruptcy filer reported a negative wealth of more than $17,000, compared to positive wealth of more than $250,000 for their non-bankrupt counterparts, according to “Graying of U.S. Bankruptcy: Fallout from Life in a Risk Society,” which was published earlier this month.
The implications for long-term care providers are unsettling: More seniors less likely to pay their own bills, meaning more residents covered by low-paying Medicaid.
“For an increasing number of older Americans, their golden years are fraught with economic risks, the result of which is often bankruptcy,” study authors noted.
The Detroit Free Press reported that surging bankruptcies for elders correspond with a drop in retirement benefits across the country, with many companies phasing out pension plans. Policymakers are challenged with figuring out a way to respond to this trend, as medical costs swell and the population rapidly ages.
“We’re most definitely going to have to address it,” Paul Bridgewater, president and CEO of the nonprofit Detroit Area Agency on Aging, told the Free Press. “We’re compiling the data to come up with solutions. But across the board, as the baby boomers go into retirement, there are going to be a number of situations that we’ve never had to deal with.”

Director : Pradeep Krishnamoorthy
Producer : Fathima Vijay Antony
Music Director : Vijay Antony
Starring : Vijay Antony, Arundhathi Nair
Vijay Antony, the most happening actor of both kollywood and tollywood was praised for his movie Bichagadu. ‘Bichagadu’ stood as one of the best box-office collectors of the season. Hence, the movie Saithan (Tamil) or Bethaludu (Telugu) is being the most awaited movie. Here is the review of the movie..
Dinesh (Vijay Antony) is a normal man, with a loving family. Being a software employee, his life was a fair one, with a fair salary, a beautiful house to live in. The real struggle for Dinesh starts after ten days of his wedding with Aishwarya. He hears eerie noises calling the name ‘Jayalakshmi’. Since then, he tries to kill himself and also attempts to murder his wife. Who exactly is this Jayalakshmi? Why is Dinesh haunted? To find out the answers, watch the movie in theaters.
Director Pradeep Krishna Murthy who has extracted the main crux of the story from Hollywood’s ‘Lucy’, has failed to execute the concept well. Unclear narration will leave the audience with unanswered questions.
The song ‘Jayalakakshmi’ haunts the audience. Music by Vijay Antony is just okay. Pradeep Kali Putharen’s Cinematography is fine. The audience who expect for some kind of thrill, are kept waiting until they find out that there is nothing of such kind. The director has tried to convey something, which he ends abruptly.
Vijay Antony’s action.
Vijay has performed very well in the role of a psychologically haunted person.
The thrill which carries us away and keeps us speculating.
Most of the things are unclear.
The director seems to have ended the movie without any clarity.
‘Bethaludu’ being a psychological thriller, is a badly executed movie with so many questions unanswered. With the mediocre graphics, there are some thrilling streaks, but on a whole, the movie is a little boring.

One of the most common diseases of modern society is the so-called chronic fatigue syndrome. Almost half of humanity suffers from this health problem. Think only how huge this scale is! What caused such a general spread of the syndrome? What is its cause? This syndrome is characterized, above all, by such a notion as fatigue. Not just temporary fatigue but one that does not leave a person for quite a long time. Even despite the possibility of rest, which for some reason does not help get rid of this fatigue.
Scientists have proved that a functional disorder occurs primarily because of lack of sleep or sleep without a certain regime. Long-term stress and fatigue only aggravate the process. If you have recently suffered a cold, or there is a deficiency in vitamins, it can also lead to chronic fatigue syndrome. In addition to obvious reasons, there are also medical indications, such as thyroid disease, hormone problems, nervous system disorders, anemia or serious viruses. Find out more about the possible problem solutions and measures that can be taken to get rid of the chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Symptoms of chronic fatigue
- Tip number 1: Sleep for 7-8 hours daily
- Tip number 2: Correct your diet and eat healthy foods
- Tip number 3: Use physiotherapy methods
- Tip number 4: Take natural homemade remedies
- Tip number 5: Take vitamins and immunomodulators
- Top-7 Things That Will Help to Prevent the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
1. Main signs: permanent fatigue, not even eliminated by prolonged sleep, which has been observed for more than six months, and the elimination of obvious ailments in the body.
2. Secondary symptoms:
- feeling chills;
- dryness in the throat and eye mucosa;
- muscular and vertebral pain;
- shortness of breath;
- low-grade fever;
- enlargement of lymph nodes.
3. Neuropsychological signs. They include various phobias (especially fear of bright light), irritability, poor concentration of attention, feelings of depression and despair.
If there are more than eight signs (both main, about six from the list of secondary, plus at least one of the third group), the diagnosis is chronic fatigue syndrome and you need to start treating it using the following tips.
The syndrome of chronic fatigue often happens in intellectual workers (journalists, doctors, teachers). And women get sick twice more often. There are many among
them who are too demanding about themselves. The fact is that mental stresses are exhausting more than physical loads. After all, the brain, which is only 2-2.5% of body weight, consumes about a fifth of the body’s energy reserves.
During the day, a person works, then needs rest. Sleep is a normal and vital period for every organism. What should it be? How much does a person need to sleep to maintain health? Is it important to go to bed and get up at the same time?
Let’s start with an interesting fact, which was established by scientists: people who sleep at the same number of hours at night, live longer than those who change the duration of sleep. These same experts drew attention to the fact that lack of sleep contributes to the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system. The organism undergoes wear, changes occur even at the level of biochemical reactions.
Recommendations for healthy sleep:
- A regime is required: In order that sleep brings maximum benefit and minimum harm, you need to go to bed and get up at the same time. When this regime is violated, our biological clock is lost – biorhythms. It must be said that even on weekends, sleep and wakefulness should not change.
- Duration of sleep: The scientists answered the question of how much to sleep: on average, the sleep period should be 7-8 hours. However, a healthy dream is a continuous dream. It is more useful to sleep for 6 hours than 8 hours with awakenings. An adult may need from 6 to 8 hours a day.
- Do not lie in bed after you wake up: There is a danger of falling asleep again. In addition, the body should get used to the fact that the day begins just after waking up at the set time. It will very quickly become the norm for you.
- Avoid an exciting environment 1 hour before bedtime: Prepare your body for sleep, excluding bustling activities, active exercise at least 1 hour before bedtime.
- Before going to bed, perform a relaxing treatment: Let this become a tradition, especially for those who have problems falling asleep. Set your “ceremony” before going to bed, in which you turn on something that helps you to relax. If a person performed active activities and, having not calmed down, went to bed, he can toss and turn in bed for a long time.
- Try not to sleep during the day: This can lead to problems with falling asleep in the evening.
- Create a cozy and relaxing environment in the bedroom: There is no room for a TV and computer in it. The mattress on the bed, pillow should provide comfort and fit orthopedic norms. The bed should be associated with sleep, so categorically you cannot watch TV, eat, read. Be sure to ventilate the room before going to bed. Oxygen promotes rapid falling asleep and a healthy sleep.
- A good dream testifies to a well-spent day. Spend a bright time of the day actively, do not neglect physical exercise and walking outdoors.
- Avoid eating food before bedtime. The last meals should be eaten at least 2 hours before the bedtime. And dinner should not be plentiful.
- Smoking, drinking coffee, alcohol closer to the time of falling asleep prevent healthy sleep. Refuse this in favor of health.
So, we found out that a person needs to sleep 6-8 hours a day. If a short sleep becomes systematic you may face a dangerous phenomenon of chronic lack of sleep. Many people today have a short nap during the week. At the weekend, the person allegedly compensates for sleep shortage up to 12-13 hours of the day. Alas, this not only does not fill the lost, but also worsen the condition. This phenomenon doctors called “sleepy bulimia.”
- Consequences of the lack of sleep:
- decreased immunity;
- decrease in efficiency, concentration of attention, memory;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- Obesity (the body, as if defending itself, tries to fill the lack of energy with extra calories);
- in men due to lack of sleep, testosterone levels drop by 30% (the stomach begins to grow even in lean men, there is a risk of inflammation of the prostate gland); increases the level of the stress hormone – cortisol, where treatments like hormone pellet therapy in Houston, TX can help;
- depression, insomnia may develop;
The most important danger of lack of sleep is the violation of normal biological rhythms of the body. During the day, each organ and system has its own periods of activity and rest. Inside the body, chemical reactions occur, which also depend on biorhythms. Violation of sleep and wakefulness, rest time leads to very serious internal disorders, the cause of which is desynchronosis. Unfortunately, the list of violations, which may result is not limited to the above mentioned.
Important: Until a certain time to cope with lack of sleep, a person can, by changing his way of life by effort of will. However, over time, chronic lack of sleep can lead to sleep disorders, which he won’t be able to cope with on his own.
Not everyone knows that the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome can be malnutrition, namely: a deficiency in the diet of many useful components that provide the body with strength and energy for a whole day. All products that we eat, have an impact on the physical, emotional and mental state. Using correct and healthy food, our body will function normally, regardless of whether we have a hard-working day or an active healthy rest.
The simplest and most natural way to recharge energy is to include foods rich in iron in the diet. It is this microelement that plays an important role in providing oxygen to all internal organs. And to maintain the body in a workable form, you must consume at least 18 mg per day. A lack of iron in the human body is immediately felt: metabolism is slowed down, there is weakness and rapid fatigue. Therefore, it is recommended to diversify the diet with lean meat, seafood, liver.
Fine sources of iron are:
- leafy and green vegetables,
- oranges and pomegranates.
Foods to include in your daily ration:
- Oatmeal, buckwheat, chicken and eggs: all these products contain the amino acid tryptophan, which is processed in the body in the “hormone of happiness” serotonin. Daily consumption of these products not only satisfy the body’s need for serotonin, but also perfectly saturate, leaving no feelings of hunger.
- Fish, especially fatty (mackerel, herring, salmon, salmon):
It contains vitamin B6, which not only improves mood, but also strengthens the immune system. In addition, fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and amino acid tryptophan, from which serotonin is also formed. It is recommended to eat fish every week at least 3-4 times. The daily intake rate is 100-150 g.
Oranges, tangerines, as well as carrots, beets, tomatoes and other vegetables, and fruit of bright color:
They contain bioflavonoids, which help improve cerebral circulation and raise the mood.
It is very rich in Group B vitamins, which regulate the work of the adrenal glands, and also promotes the production of the hormone adrenaline.
Bananas are a storehouse of vitamins, microelements and many useful minerals, they are sources of potassium, iron, tryptophan, which also, in turn, forms serotonin. Bananas, perhaps, is one of the most indispensable products in the syndrome of chronic fatigue.
It contains a large number of polyphenols, which are involved in the synthesis of serotonin, in addition to cocoa beans contain magnesium, which relieves stress. Chocolate should be exactly dark with a content of cocoa of at least 80%, its daily intake of 45-50 grams.
In addition to the already known polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3), vitamin B6 and amino acids, tryptophan nuts contain selenium-mineral essential for the functioning of the immune system. Especially rich in selenium is the Brazil nut. Daily consumption of nuts 30 gr.
The record holder for calcium and phosphorus is cheese. In addition to the amino acids of tyramine, tricactin and phenylethylamine, the cheese also contains vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, B12, PP, C. The nutrients in the cheese are 98-99% absorbed by the body. Daily intake of cheese should be 30-40 grams.
Important: Reconsider what you usually eat and try to break meals into 5-6 meals a day.
It will be helpful to choose a suitable method of physiotherapy among the following:
- Relaxing massage: Massage of muscles and joints, as well as head helps relieve tension, reduces pain, improves blood circulation and nutrition of muscles.
- Acupuncture: This procedure relieves pain, calms the nervous system, helps restore the vital forces of the body.
- Magnetotherapy: It helps to restore the activity of the endocrine and immune systems as well as provides analgesic and relaxing effects.
- Hydrotherapy: Relaxing effect on the body of water procedures relieves stress, pain, has calming and relaxing effects.
- Laser therapy: Application of laser radiation with a therapeutic purpose is able to activate self-regulation systems, accelerates metabolism, stimulates the activity of the nervous system.
Important: It is necessary to have courses of physiotherapy to prevent the chronic fatigue syndrome as well as use different massage techniques for the treatment of the syndrome.
A good effect is achieved when treating the state of chronic fatigue with natural remedies that will help to solve the problem and return to normal life. First pay attention to proper nutrition.
- Honey and nuts: A good method of getting rid of chronic fatigue of the body is the use of honey with nuts, in the absence of allergy to honey. Natural liquid honey in equal proportions must be mixed with walnuts. Honey with nuts will help restore the immune system and increase vitality.
- The energy mix drink: Take 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of iodine – dissolve everything in 1 cup of boiled water. Take during 10 days after eating. Usually one course is enough to feel a surge of energy.
- The mixture based on honey and vinegar: it will help to show wonderful results in the treatment of persistent drowsiness and fatigue. In 100 gr. honey add 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, mix and take it for 10 days 1 teaspoon per day.
- Ginger tincture: To improve the tone of the body, you can prepare ginger tincture. Take the root of ginger 150 gr. and insist on 700 ml. vodka for 7 days. The tonic is ready, take 1 teaspoon with water for 2 doses per day.
- Ginger tea: The ginger root is cut into pieces, about 1 cm of the root finely chopped, squeezed out a little juice, pour a glass of boiling water, add lemon and honey to taste. Such tea will restore lost strength and energy.
- Garlic tincture: In the treatment of chronic chronic fatigue not the last place is occupied by the tincture of garlic. You need to rub a glass of fresh garlic, put the mass in a liter jar and pour vodka to the top, close tightly. Put in the fridge and let it stay for two weeks. Then strain and take as follows: on the first day, 5 drops before each meal. Each day, add a drop, until there are 25 drops for each reception. This tincture will very quickly help to normalize the condition.
- Tincture of St. John’s wort: A tablespoon of St. John’s wort is poured with 1 glass of boiling water and insisted for half an hour. Take it for three weeks, three times a day for 1/3 cup.
- Treatment of plantain: Prepare the infusion – 10 dried leaves of plantain to grind and pour boiling water. Keep in a warm place for half an hour. Take 2 tablespoons 20 minutes before meals three times a day.
Important: It is worth noting that the treatment of the chronic fatigue is going to be effective if you take natural remedies for a certain period of time. One course should last no more than three weeks, then you need to take a break.
Medical treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome is also practiced, especially if the condition is severe and a person can’t succeed in its treatment on his own.

What's eating my roses? Endelomyia aethiops?
I have many roses, and all are being eaten by these tiny little larva, hope you can see it on the leaf close-up. Is it a sawfly? Endelomyia aethiops? I googled all over and didn't find a lot of info on it, so hoping someone here can help. I sprayed all bushes yesterday with dishwash soap and water, but the larva are still here this morning. My wild roses are affected the worst. I am trying the BBC garden clinic message board as well, see if anyone there replies. Here's a pic of my Celestial alba:

Last week scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland announced the discovery of new sub-atomic particles: a pentaquark and tetraquarks. This BBC article does a really good job of explaining the role of quarks in the composition of our universe, so I encourage you to read the article.
But they also included a graphic to show how quarks relate to atoms. It’s a simple illustration, but it does a great job.
Sometimes great and informative graphics can be simple. They needn’t be flashy or over-designed. I could quibble about the depiction of the electron cloud around the nucleus, but it’s not terrible.
Credit for the piece goes to the BBC graphics department.

I think what I can say is that given my interest in information design—be it in the shape of clear charts, maps, diagrams, or wayfinding systems—I am fortunate that my day job focuses on data visualisation. Outside of work, I try to stay busy with personal design work. Away from the world of design, I have become an amateur genealogist and family historian.

LANSING, MI (WLNS) – Lansing mayor Virg Bernero introduced an annual health challenge and a new business Friday.
Starting at the Fenner Nature Center, Mayor Bernero and officials from the non-profit organization Lettuce Live Well got things stirring for the Lansing million’s Let Us Be Fit health challenge.
The challenge is simple to take on. All participants have to do is create a team with friends and family members and then grab a punch card to keep track of your team’s points.
Each team member can earn those points based on pounds lost, or by participating in monthly events.
Then those points can be used to win some fun prizes.
6 News spoke to the mayor who says it’s less about the pounds and more about being active.
“Too many people with a sedentary lifestyle now. And it will kill ya. Because if you think about it, we’re sitting by day. A lot of people sit by day in front of a computer. They work in front of a computer, and they go home the fact is showing they are spending more time not necessarily in front of the TV, but in front of the computer. So we got to get them out of that,” said Mayor Virg Bernero, city of Lansing.
The challenge is part of a larger city goal – to have the community lose a total of 1 million pounds this year.


Teimana Harrison has come a long way since the days he was better known for his dreadlocks than his rugby.
Now, the New Zealand-born flanker is less wild warrior more soldier, having shed hair and the intemperate attitude.
Harrison, by his own admission and that of Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder, has grown up.
And he is now a man Saints can count on as a staple feature of their side, with the 23-year-old having been the club’s most consisently impressive player since early December.
“It’s been nice putting a few games together,” said Harrison, who has remained in the starting line-up since impressing at Bath on December 5. “You can actually find out how good you are.
“It’s been an awesome experience.
“I’m very much a confidence player so it’s good to get that belief under your belt and start playing well.
“It shows on the field and there’s just that incentive to improve every week.
“I’ve definitely been waiting for these games.
“I read something in the paper that Jim said. It seems I’ve matured a bit now and I’m not just running around like a headless chicken - I’m picking my battles.
“It’s nice to get the run of games and hopefully it carries on.”
These days, the only reminder of Harrison’s striking dreadlocks is his Twitter handle, @rasta_dreadlock.
And his buzz cut is a symbol of a boy who has become a man since being scouted by then Saints skipper Dylan Hartley during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Harrison, who made the transition from the Senior Academy to the first team in 2012, has also been helped by becoming a father - his daughter, Keita, is now two years old.
And he said: “Being a father has definitely helped me.
“I haven’t been around her that often because me and my partner split up so she’s over in New Zealand while I’m over here, which sucks. But I’ve got something to play for, my daughter.
“It definitely helps me.”
And on how his style of play has evolved, Harrison said: “Picking the battles is key in the Premiership, not going for every breakdown otherwise you just tire yourself out.
“I’ve learned that you’ve got to try not to make every tackle big and with your carries you try to pick the right people to carry into rather than just a brick wall.”
Now Harrison will look to help Saints deal with four games that will be key to achieving this season’s aims.
Glasgow Warriors will arrive at Franklin’s Gardens for a Champions Cup clash on Sunday, with Sains knowing they must win that match and the one at Scarlets six days later to stand a chance of reaching the quarter-finals.
Premiership games against Wasps and Harlequins then await for Mallinder’s men, who are seven points adrift of the top-four after last weekend’s defeat at Leicester.
“We’re doing okay in Europe if we win both of the next two games,” said Harrison, who was this week named Saints’ player of the month for December.
“In the Prem, we’re sitting fifth behind Leicester and we can get there (in the top four) if the results go our way.
“It’s going to be exciting.”

Digital Health Corner Editor: Parisa Vatanka, PharmD, CTTS
Telepharmacy – much like telehealth – has grown immensely due to the COVID-19 pandemic out of the need to provide patients with safe and convenient access to a pharmacist. However, for many people the term “telepharmacy” is like the word “kombucha” – it’s commonly used and apparently very popular, but good luck accurately describing it.
While I won’t get into the fermented mystery that is kombucha in this article, I will make sense of telepharmacy for you, explaining how it works why it’s important, and why pharmacists across the country should consider implementing it for their practices.
What is telepharmacy?
Telepharmacy is defined as, “the provision of pharmaceutical care through the use of telecommunications and information technologies to patients at a distance,” according to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
This broad definition of telepharmacy has many different applications, which is what makes it somewhat difficult to define, and also leaves it open to many misconceptions.
The telepharmacy I’m discussing here is community-based telepharmacy, consisting of remote verification and counseling. A community-based telepharmacy is a brick-and-mortar pharmacy location, either a standalone building or a dedicated pharmacy space inside a clinic, that has the look and feel of a traditional pharmacy.
The only difference is the pharmacist is not on-site, only a pharmacy technician. The pharmacy technician fills prescriptions, taking high-definition images of the fill process, which are then shared via HIPAA-compliant software with the pharmacist who reviews and verifies the prescriptions from a host pharmacy location. The pharmacist then counsels patients via private video call.
History and impact of telepharmacy
A common misconception about telepharmacy is that it’s an entirely new and unproven practice, but the reality is – it has been in use for a long time and has consistently improved with time as technology has advanced. When telepharmacy first appeared in the US in 2001, the concept was centered around a single video link between a pharmacy technician and pharmacist. Modern telepharmacy solutions utilize imaged-based workflows, which enable the remote verification of prescriptions and patient counseling through a secure, high-definition live-video connection.
Telepharmacy allows pharmacists to have a presence in a wide variety of settings where a full-fledged pharmacy may not be feasible. There are underserved patient populations spanning rural and urban settings all across the country who need accessible pharmacy services. In fact, there are over 2,000 “rural pharmacy deserts” across the U.S., which are defined as areas located 10 or more miles from their nearest pharmacy (though pharmacy deserts aren’t unique to rural settings). With telepharmacy, pharmacists are able to interact with patients face-to-face via video, and provide personal, high-quality care regardless of geography.
Telepharmacy has proven to be a safe and effective way to provide pharmacy services in areas where traditional pharmacy may not be a feasible option. Today, telepharmacy is practiced in 25 states in a variety of settings – from standalone locations to on-site clinic telepharmacies.
The possibilities and potential with telepharmacy are only growing as the digital health industry expands, and there are opportunities for integration across the digital health spectrum that may allow pharmacists to further contribute to the health and wellness of our communities. Hopefully telepharmacy and its benefits are less of a mystery to you now, but as for kombucha… you’re on your own in figuring that one out.

Watch the First Trailer of Top Gun: Maverick!
2k views | By Hangar.Flights Contributor | Last updated on June 19, 2022
Today, the trailer of the Top Gun sequel Top Gun: Maverick was finally released!
The film is a direct sequel to 1986’s Top Gun, the film that helped establish Cruise as an official Hollywood star. It’s set 34 years later, with Cruise reprising his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, now a flight instructor at the Topgun, the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar. There, he’s teaching the son of his late partner, Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, who’s following in his father’s footsteps. There are plenty of callbacks to the original film in the trailer as well — Cruise on a motorcycle, playing volleyball, and of course, flying fighter jets.
I don’t know about you, but we cannot wait to go see it!
Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters on June 26th, 2020.

In today’s diverse and inclusive educational landscape, ensuring equal access to resources and opportunities for all students is paramount. Digital libraries have emerged as powerful tools for providing students with access to a wide range of educational materials, but it’s essential to ensure that these resources are accessible to students of all abilities. In this blog post, we’ll explore the importance of accessibility in digital libraries and share practical strategies for ensuring inclusivity for all students.
Accessibility refers to the design of products, services, and environments to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use them effectively. In the context of digital libraries, accessibility encompasses various factors, including:
- Physical Accessibility: Ensuring that digital library platforms and resources are usable by individuals with physical disabilities, such as those who use assistive technologies like screen readers or alternative input devices.
- Cognitive Accessibility: Designing digital library interfaces and content in a way that is easily understandable and navigable for individuals with cognitive disabilities, learning differences, or language barriers.
- Visual Accessibility: Providing alternatives for visual content, such as descriptive text for images and captions for videos, to ensure that individuals with visual impairments can access and understand the information.
The Importance of Accessibility in Education
Accessibility in digital libraries is not just a legal requirement; it’s a moral imperative and a fundamental aspect of inclusive education. When digital resources are inaccessible, students with disabilities may face barriers to learning, participation, and academic success. By prioritizing accessibility in digital library design, educators can create learning environments that accommodate diverse needs, promote equity, and empower all students to reach their full potential.
Practical Strategies for Ensuring Accessibility
Here are some practical strategies for ensuring accessibility in digital libraries:
- Adhere to Accessibility Standards: Design digital library platforms and resources in accordance with recognized accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), to ensure compliance and maximize accessibility for all users.
- Provide Alternative Formats: Offer alternative formats for digital content, such as text transcripts for audio and video materials, accessible PDFs, and HTML versions of documents, to accommodate different learning preferences and assistive technologies.
- Use Semantic Markup: Use semantic HTML markup to enhance the accessibility of digital content and improve compatibility with assistive technologies like screen readers. Ensure that headings, links, and other elements are properly labeled and structured for easy navigation.
- Optimize Multimedia Content: Provide descriptive text for images, captions for videos, and transcripts for audio recordings to make multimedia content accessible to individuals with visual or hearing impairments.
- Test for Accessibility: Regularly test digital library platforms and resources for accessibility using automated testing tools, manual testing methods, and user feedback to identify and address accessibility barriers effectively.
Empowering Inclusive Learning Environments
In conclusion, accessibility is a cornerstone of inclusive education, and digital libraries play a vital role in ensuring that educational resources are accessible to all students. By prioritizing accessibility in digital library design and implementation, educators can create inclusive learning environments where every student has the opportunity to succeed. Together, let’s work towards building a future where digital libraries are truly accessible to all, regardless of ability or circumstance.
Stay tuned for more insights, tips, and resources on leveraging digital libraries to create inclusive learning experiences for all students!

We’re just getting into the Groove here at GrooveGuardians.com and we wanted to give somewhat of an informational post – about JUICERS!
Single gear juicer, masticating juicer, single auger juicer, wheatgrass juicer… these are but different names for the same equipment. Basically designed for extracting juice of leafy green vegetables like wheatgrass, spinach and kale, these juicers can really be used to juice almost anything. If you want to read more, we suggest browsing over to review websites like this one or amazon.
The working of this machine is very simple. You need to cut your chosen fruits and vegetables to a suitable size that can get into the chute at the top of the juicer. It’s not at all necessary to peel or remove the skin from the foodstuff. You should know that many fruits and vegetables contain live enzymes exclusively in the skin and you shouldn’t lose these nutrients by removing the skin and throwing it in the garbage.
While extracting juice of leafy vegetables or wheatgrass, you may need to slightly push these down into the main auger of the juicer. For juicing most other foodstuffs, the single gear juicers are usually designed to have an automatic feed that pulls the food down into the rotating gear by force of gravity, causing little effort on the part of the operator.
On entering the juicer, the produce is crushed or ‘chewed’ by the auger and then pushed through a fine sieve, with juice coming out from one side of the sieve and fills the provided chamber while the remaining pulp is discarded into another chamber.
The auger of a single gear juicer moves at a speed of just 80 rpm. Such low speed prevents the internal components from getting heated. And, that’s the main benefit of such juicers as heat kills live enzymes and destroys nutrients. Juicers with a single gear keep the enzymes intact, thus delivering healthier vitamin rich juice.
The low speed of such juicers also prevents oxidization of juices, essentially required for a healthy juice. Oxidization is the process of air getting added into juice, causing the juice to rot or spoil. Well, nobody would ever eat rotten or spoiled food, but many people continue drinking spoiled juice as they don’t realize that it is spoiled. This juice is not likely to cause any harm to the body, but it remains to be of poor quality and appears rather watery with a thick layer of foam on top. Non-oxidized juice would have very little foam with an even color through the juice. You might see this when using Omega juicers. It may appear tasty, but lacks vitamins and nutrients, thus defeating the very purpose of having fresh juices.
Simple operation coupled with the convenience of simple assembling or dismantling makes these juicers a desirable accessory for any kitchen.

Gov. Parson, city mayors outline plans on gun violence
Gov. Mike Parson met with the mayors of the state’s four largest cities Monday and announced his support of gun legislation focused on juveniles, domestic abusers and prior offenders — areas which would for the most part mirror already existing federal law.
In announcing his support of the measures alongside Columbia Mayor Brian Treece, Springfield Mayor Ken McClure, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas and St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson, Parson told reporters it was part of an “immediate” response to what has been a violent year in Missouri.
More pressing issues surrounding firearms and constitutional rights would be part of a “long-term discussion,” he said, indicating the measures presented might have a chance at passage in the gun-friendly, Republican-majority legislature.
“One of the things we are really focusing on is what can we do in the immediate future,” Parson said. “There are a lot of long-term discussions to be had in this state, we are all pretty familiar with that when it comes to the Second Amendment, when it comes to the guns on the streets, but there are a lot of things in-between that I think we can get done.”
'This is common-sense gun reform'
The mayors have met several times in recent weeks and in October announced a common front to battle violence statewide. Part of their approach is a three-point plan to enlist better witness protection services, greater access to mental health services and what they have described as a “common sense” approach to gun violence.
Treece said the priority is keeping guns out of the hands of children, domestic abusers and violent offenders.
“This is common-sense gun reform legislation that I am hopeful in the next 30 days we can find some common ground to really pursue some of those tangible efforts to really reduce and prevent crimes in our respective communities,” Treece said.
McClure thanked his fellow mayors and Parson for meeting several times on the issue of violence.
“Our focus has been that common problem we have, even though it has variations in each of our communities, of violence and crime, how best can we address that,” McClure said. “So we have come up with three priorities we want to make our initial focus.”
Both state and federal statutes already make it illegal for a felon to be in possession of a firearm. The legislative focus would be on empowering prosecutors to make deals with violent offenders to voluntarily surrender their Second Amendment rights in exchange for a lesser sentence, Treece said.
“In September, the majority of arrests that were made in the homicides we had during that period of unrest, all had some type of prior felony charge that if they were prosecuted as a felon, would have prevented their carry of a gun,” Treece said. “But because they were plead down to a misdemeanor, they obviously continued to carry that handgun.”
Federal law already makes it illegal for some domestic violence suspects and convicts to own a weapon. However, there is no state mechanism to remove guns from the hands of domestic abusers, as on the federal level, and the GOP legislature’s move to allow concealed weapons to be carried without a permit raised questions as to whether abusers could be identified without an adequate background check in place.
'Make the state safer'
Kristin Bowen is a volunteer for Missouri Moms Demand Action, a grassroots organization which advocates for gun reform. On Monday she applauded the announcement that state and local leaders would take a look at issues the group has been raising for years regarding violent offenders and domestic abusers, describing it as a non-partisan issue that affects all Missourians.
“We stand ready to work with Missouri leaders, including the governor, mayors, and law enforcement and look forward to learning more about the proposals to address the crisis of gun violence across the state,” Bowen said. “Lawmakers in Jefferson City would also do well to look across the border to Kansas, where lawmakers have worked across the aisle to make the state safer by passing legislation to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.”
Federal law requires anyone purchasing a handgun to be at least 21, with the age limit set at 18 for long guns. Minors in Missouri can possess a firearm with a parent's permission. Those having firearms illegally, however, are often put in a grey area as prosecutors and the courts are reluctant to charge juveniles federally.
The details of the legislative proposals were not presented at the press conference and with many juvenile crimes committed by offenders with a stolen weapon, it was not clear what effect additional age restrictions at the state level might have.
“Stealing comes from different models, whether it comes from guns or property, what happens, that becomes a crime of opportunity also,” Parson said. “Maybe you're not looking for a gun, you find a gun, and that gun ends up on the street. Those are the things we have got to address.”
Parson admitted during the press conference the potential legislative fixes raised during the meeting were short term ideas, but he felt those might have a chance in the legislature.
“We can name 10 different things here, but the reality of it is, if you can't do seven of the 10, what are we doing wasting our time talking about it. The whole idea today was to narrow it down to these three items and I think those are all doable.”
Legislation to address root causes, such as poverty, drugs, a lack of mental health services and education shortfalls, would need to be addressed as part of a long-term strategy, Parson said.
“We still have got to do something about the poverty across this state,” Parson said. “We’ve got to do something about the people we are talking about who may be escalating this violent crime. It is still going to come back to education, it’s going to come back to workforce development and how do we give people hope in this state to get out of those situations.”

My experience at the Rijksmuseum
The pretension begins at home where you can download the Rijksmuseum’s app. The app already gives you a good impression of the exhibitions of that moment. In the museum you can also use the app as an audio tour. The exhibition about the history of South Africa was followed by Adriaan van Dis’s audio guidance. The National Museum is big. Take a full day to thoroughly explore the entire museum. I have been coming to Amsterdam several times in a year. Each time I go to another part of the building. Usually I use discounted tickets.
The museum is well accessible by public transport. Below the adjacent Museum square is a large parking garage.
The staff at the museum are very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of toilets and the wardrobe is free. You can take your camera, but do without flashing photos.
There is a shop in the museum and there are dining options. The prices are of course on the high side. The museum is also interesting for children. There are regular activities for children. See the website of the Rijksmuseum.
The garden outside is also worth a visit. The museum’s cultivation has taken a long time, but it has been worth it.

The mythology of Lilith is first mentioned in ancient Babylonian demonology as a class of winged female demons that attacks pregnant women and infants. The myth migrated to the world of the ancient Hittites, Egyptians and Greeks.
The earliest surviving mention of her name appears in the Sumerian epic poem, Gilgamesh, a hero who slays monsters and assists a goddess. A dragon and “Zu-bird” appear as well. Her appearance in various folklore goes on, and sometime in the Middle Ages around the year 1000, a new twist was added to the mythology by Jewish sources – that she was Adam’s first – and terrifying – wife who left Eden because she was treated as man’s inferior. Unwholesome sexual practices are linked to Lilith as she powerfully embodies the demon-lover myth.
None of the Patriarchs made mention of Lilith, nor do Jesus or the apostles. The Apostle Paul, arguably the chief of Gentile conversions, never even hints at the idea of Adam having a bitterly-estranged wife who inhabits the darkness and is responsible for the primal deception of mankind.
Lilith is found in Jewish mysticism, the sort one would find in the Zohar, because these are the doctrines of Kabbalah–the Synagogue of Satan mentioned in Revelation 2:9.
Kabbalah absorbed the ancient mysteries of Babylon. Kabbalistic doctrines and practices are so pervasive in modern culture, you can find them in movies, literature, and even corporate logos—all of which devout Christians avoid.
The point is: traditions such as Lilith were adopted by Jews who practiced witchcraft and sorcery, Jews who would later deny Christ and clamor to have him killed, as Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16. Kabbalah is a different religion, one that the Bible specifically forbids, along with all of its myths and traditions.
Just as you should not be deceived by stories of Zeus and Aphrodite, or the Babylonian gods of Anu, Enlil or Shamash, or their many demons we should stay away from the satanic mythological stories of Lilith and any other entities or principles that are unscriptural and dangerous to your spiritual health.
To learn more about what the Bible says about demons listen to, “How Do Demons Influence Our World?”

As we approach Easter – for most people just a long weekend when they can regroup and rest – for some people the spiritual highlight of the year – we can often forget, when contemplating his deeper spiritual messages and the agony of his personal journey, that the historical Jesus Christ was a dangerous man who subverted the ruling status quo in his country, and that, above all, is why he was put to death.
This Facebook meme reminded me.
As we approach Easter, we should dwell on the fact that Jesus fought against the institutionalisation of religion, fought against its co-option as a business enterprise, and talked of how the Kingdom of Heaven resided in all of us, and not in buildings, if we could but find the key.
He also detested the brutalisation of society by economic forces, and the obsession with accumulating personal wealth and how it diverts us from what really matters.
But in cleansing the temple, Jesus did not argue against public worship. Quite the opposite. He wanted the Temple reserved for its rightful use.
And worship definitely serves many valuable purposes, not least sharing information and insights on complicated spiritual matters, building community, showing spiritual respect, and bringing peace and joy to people.
But he did argue against hypocrisy. When religion is reduced to mere pomp and circumstance, or when it mindlessly supports the bastions of conformity, he was on the other side of the metaphorical barricade.
He told us to become like little children in our understand of the world and our role in it, and in relation to what we perceive as God. Simplicity, innocence and trust. And a trenchant opposition to anything which reduces the world to a mere monetary exchange.

The Social Dilemma vs. Media Propaganda
'The Social Dilemma' Documentary is an excellent example of carefully fabricated bits and bobs, mixing true danger and myths in an exact amount to manipulate you into a hidden agenda.
On one hand it draws attention to the addiction, which is triggered and caused by those social platforms, showing how people are getting under its influence how it modifies their personality for the worse.
On the other hand it labels critical thinking and different perspectives as the sin of society. And here is the point where I would stop and separate facts and fictions.
Yes, it is addictive and it can effect the psyche and especially towards kids and young adults it can be quite dangerous. It is also a high level commercial platform with a designed algorithm. It is AI, the brain, the logic. In an energetical code, this is the masculine logical part.
But life is about balance and heart and brain need to be balanced. One can not exist without the other. Yin and Yang always work together and complete each other, the same way as conscious and unconscious.
It was predictable that as soon as the social platforms get out to the public, it would find its on way and sooner or later the shadow-self will wink in. The overreacted surprise showed by the CEO in the documentary about the fact that it got out of their hands deserves an Oscar specially the part how they try to pass over their responsibility.
Since humanity exists on Earth, there were always conflicts, different perspectives, revolutions, demonstrations, bullies. Social media did not invent these things, it just highlighted them and speeded them up. Those conflicts and revolutions are the birthing places for development. We need those different ideas what challenging the status-co in order to move forward. Stigmatizing it as misinformation shows either lack of understanding of the working psyche or carefully manipulating force in action.


- 104-year-old Elisa Khumalo is the oldest resident in Mndozo village in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, but she still has to relieve herself in the open.
- The rest of the family use a neighbour's toilet, but it is too far for Gogo Khumalo to walk.
- Ward 7 councillor Bawinile Khumalo has promised to find out why the elderly Khumalo is still not on a list to receive a toilet.
On 1 April this year, Elisa Khumalo turned 104 years old. She may be the oldest resident in Mndozo village in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, but she still has to relieve herself in the open.
She has no proper toilet, and uses a roofless pit latrine with broken walls.
"It is embarrassing and degrading for my mother-in-law to relieve herself in the open every day. We have to use a blanket to cover her whenever she sits on our make-shift toilet seat," says Khumalo's daughter-in-law Nokuthula Khumalo.
READ | Her gruesome death could have been avoided – family of 11-year-old who drowned in pit toilet
The rest of the family use a neighbour's toilet, but it is too far for Gogo Khumalo to walk.
"I'm the one who takes her to the toilet every day. Our toilet's roof was blown away by the storm a year ago, and we couldn't afford to rebuild it," says Nokuthula, who lives with her children and Khumalo's great-grandchildren.
A toilet project is currently under way in the village and some of the residents have had new toilets installed by the municipality, but not Khumalo or her neighbour, Muziwendonda Zungu.
"Like other local residents, we applied for the toilets to be built for us [three years ago], but we are still without a toilet, while we have seen other local residents having their toilets built recently," says Nokuthula.
She said a ward committee member had told her the Newcastle municipality had run out of budget for more toilets, and their family would be included in the next budget of 2020/21.
Asked for comment, Ward 7 councillor Bawinile Khumalo (ANC) said: "As a ward councillor, I take a list of those residents who are in need of toilets or any type of service delivery, from my ward committee members and then take it from there.
The toilets that are currently being installed in the ward are for those who are on the list; and those who are not on the list right now, their toilets will be built in the next phase.
"And, for senior citizens and the disabled residents in the ward, the ward committee members have a separate list for them."
He said he would find out more from the local ward committee member.

"As I reflect back upon our inaugural year of the Youth Leadership Highlands program, I am very humbled. We have been gifted with an incredible group of students and a community that embraced our efforts in a great way. A program like this would not be possible without the support of so many people. It makes it easy to teach the students how to give back when so many people are giving of themselves for our YLH program. I can't say thank you enough to everyone that made this program happen," said Tracee Smoak, Mason G. Smoak board of director.
Click on a YLH DAY to Learn More
Students spent the day learning about Highlands County business and the health care system as part of Mason G. Smoak Foundation’s Youth Leadership Highlands program. This program exposed students to fundamental business concepts and provided the students the opportunity to experience the concepts firsthand. In this picture, students visit with representatives from Samaritans Touch for educational mini-workshops.
Seventeen high school students spent the day learning about Highlands County Government & Education. The day began at Highlands County Courthouse where several speakers meet with the students about various courthouse responsibilities and functions. For several students, a highlight of the day was a supervised/guided tour of the jail – learning firsthand about our criminal justice system. Students also enjoyed demonstrations from the K-9 and S.W.A.T. units. At South Florida Community College, the Dean of Applied Sciences & Technologies, Kevin Brown, led the students on a tour of the Health and Science Education Center, dental education clinic, public service academy, and select trade and industry programs.
Youth Leadership Highlands Social Services day was a huge success. In the morning, students got to know each other with some icebreakers, and then they viewed a "dedication of the home" ceremony at Highlands Habitat for Humanity-Mason's ridge. Edward and Anne Smoak, who were also present at the dedication, sponsored the home. New Testament Mission allowed students to prepare and serve a meal for the hungry. In the evening, Jeff Roth of the Children’s Advocacy Center, gave the students a tour of their facilities, led them through some team building exercises, and taught them about Highlands County social services.
Youth Leadership Highlands Economic Development & Tourism day focused on local business and industry. The students toured Everglades’s assembly plant, WWII private plane collection at Sebring Airport, listened to a presentation by the Highlands County Director of Tourism, John Sherlacher, and a tour of Sebring International Raceway where we met famous racer Bobby Rahal. As the day came to a close, one YLH student stated, "I learned that Highlands County isn't just a little unknown area in the world, 100's of thousands of people from all over come..."
The Youth Leadership Highlands program emphasized the importance of Highlands County agricultural and environmental industries during a full day of leadership education and training. Several different private and public organizations took part of educating a class of 17 local high school sophomore students about different aspects of Highlands County agriculture and environment. The students picked strawberries and learned about plant cycles and packing at Atlantic Blue Operations, they learned about Florida diary and cattle industries while touring Smoak Ranch in Southern Highlands County, and studied the caladium business at Happiness Farms in Lake Placid.

Auckland has been overcast for the past few days, but today was the first day of full on rain. As such, I decided to walk to the Auckland War Memorial Museum just about a mile from downtown.
The entrance fee was $25NZ for foreigners, and free to the residents of New Zealand.
The museum has three levels. The ground level boasts a stunning collection on Maori and other Pacific Island artifacts.
Weapons, musical instruments, handicrafts. You name it, they probably have it.
Floor 1 is home to the Natural History section, with exhibits on volcanoes, animals, and the land itself.
Floor 2 has the history of wars that happened in New Zealand, as well as foreign wars in which New Zealand had a stake. The memorial is mostly for those who lost their lives during the World Wars. There was also a small gallery concerning the Holocaust.
The museum was flooded with kids on school trips, some of whom were wearing bright crossing guard outfits.
The museum itself is worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood.

Evens Charles is the founder and managing principal of Frontier Development & Hospitality Group LLC. A native of Washington, D.C, Mr. Charles attended Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he was a Big East Conference Division I football athlete. During his five-year athletic tenure at Temple University, he earned a B.A. in Psychology and a Master of Education.
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Charles was inspired by his landlord and began investing in real estate, which led him to start Frontier. At the age of 25, he executed his first small transaction that required an out-of-pocket investment of $1,000 resulting in a $25K profit six months later. This transaction was the catalyst that catapulted Mr. Charles into real estate investing.
After a ten-year period of several successful luxury residential and multi-family acquisition and development projects, Mr. Charles, at the age of 36, had led Frontier to its first hotel investment. The firm has since grown to over a nine-figure portfolio of Hilton and Marriot Internationally branded hotel assets across six states.
His accomplishments have been recognized as one of the 2019 Black Enterprise largest 100 Black Owned Businesses in the nation; 2019 Outstanding Entrepreneur Award by the Caribbean American Heritage; The 2016 Deal of Year Award for the DoubleTree by Hilton Largo, MD, presented by NABHOOD; the 2010 Entrepreneur of the Year awarded by NAMD; the 2010 Outstanding Hotelier Award presented by the Asian American Hotel Owners Association; 2009 Hotel Owner of the Year Award; and the 10 People Under 40 to Watch in 2010 awarded by the Philadelphia Tribune Magazine.

Experts and activists from various institutions lambasted the Criminal Code bill on Thursday, saying articles regulating immoral behavior in the draft law went too far into the private lives of citizens.
The House of Representatives is currently deliberating the bill, which, among other things, would expand the definition of adultery and criminalize consensual sex between two unmarried persons.
The bill could also potentially criminalize same-sex relationships as it will include consensual homosexual acts between adults. Currently, only pedophilia is prohibited.
Jentera School of Law lecturer Anugerah Rizki Akbari said neither the government nor the House seemed to have a clear vision of what changes they wanted to make in the Criminal Code bill.
Anugerah said the current Criminal Code, which is based on Dutch colonial law, penalized extramarital sex as a way to protect the institution of marriage.
“Who or what is protected by criminalizing consensual sex between unmarried people? Who is the victim here?” he said.
Imam Nahe’i, an Islamic teacher and a National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) commissioner, agreed, adding that from a Muslim perspective, criminalization of adultery should be narrowed, not widened.
“The level of evidence needed to prove adultery is very high in Islam,” he said. “To prove murder, you only need two witnesses. To prove adultery, you need four witnesses.”
Ratna Batara Munti from the Women’s Legal Aid foundation echoed their sentiments, saying the bill increased the number of “victimless crimes.”
“The government should not arbitrarily take away personal freedoms in the name of morality,” she said. (kmt/ebf)

Without mentioning Kamala Harris, Brittany Aldean, wife of country star Jason Aldean, took exception with the vice president’s “long weekend” tweet.
Via Instagram, Aldean posted a photo of a flag flying at her home. Rather than mentioning Kamala Harris, Brittany wrote: “Our family doesn’t take Memorial Day lightly. It’s more than a ‘long weekend.'”
She continued with her Memorial Day tweet, again without mentioning Kamala Harris, “Jason Aldean and I both come from military families and understand the importance our loved ones and others have sacrificed for us.” Aldean said, “We fly our flag high. EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s the least we can do to show our appreciation.”
She also said: “God bless the Mamas who couldn’t hold their babies one more time (and) to the Daddies who weren’t able to express just how proud they were. WE THINK AND PRAY FOR YOU, DAILY. Happy Memorial Day. Thank you Military and everyone who continues to serve this beautiful country and risk their lives for us!!!! We love you!!”
Kamala Harris hasn’t mentioned her tweet since she posted it.
Republicans Criticized Kamala Harris for Not Honoring Meaning of Memorial Day
Aldean wasn’t the only person in the United States who criticized the vice president. Kamala Harris drew ire from Republicans when she tweeted, “Enjoy the long weekend.”
Americans know Memorial Day is a solemn, federal holiday. We honor the memory of those who lost their lives defending this country. Wishing someone a “happy” Memorial Day can be discouraged. Still, Americans also view the holiday as the unofficial start of summer. People commemorate it by spending time with friends and family during a three-day weekend. Kamala Harris acknowledged the long weekend.
But Kamala Harris hadn’t been ignoring the military before or after her long weekend tweet. Before the tweet, she posted a video honoring Sydney Barber, the first Black woman Brigade Commander at the U.S. Naval Academy. The day before, Harris also gave the commencement address at the Naval Academy. She tweeted: “To the class of 2021: You are tireless. You are ambitious. You are idealists in the truest sense of the word. Hold onto that. Congratulations!”
Harris Visited Arlington Cemetery, Monday
Kamala Harris also mentioned Memorial Day last Sunday. She wrote that the military throughout history “risked everything to defend our freedoms and our country.”
At about the same time Brittany Aldean posted on Instagram about Kamala Harris, the vice president visited Arlington Cemetery. She and President Joe Biden participated in a wreath ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Harris tweeted: “We owe these heroes—and their loved ones—everything. Not just on Memorial Day. Every day.”

This might be the most prolific year in Kanye West’s career. Aside from producing albums for Pusha T, Teyana Taylor and Nas, he also released his solo project, Ye, the Kid Cudi collaborative project, Kids See Ghosts and this weekend, he’s preparing to release his ninth solo studio album, Yandhi. However, the title of his upcoming project could possibly be just the beginning of future endeavors.
According to The Blast, Kanye West recently trademarked “Yandhi.” The use of the name is meant to market everything from jewelry to underwear and everything in between. Yeezy filed the documents to trademark the name last week on September 19, ten days before the release of his forthcoming album. In addition to underwear and jewelry, ‘Ye also included footwear and shoes in his filing. Will Kanye launch a new sneaker line under Yandhi? It definitely looks like it.
Kanye West hasn’t dished out much information on the release of his forthcoming album, but he may have revealed some of the possible collaborators on the project. Yesterday, Ty Dolla $ign shared a photo of Kanye sleeping in the studio which seems like a promising sign we’ll hear the “Or Nah” singer on the project. In addition, he’s also been spotted in the studio with G Herbo and Tekashi 6ix9ine. Earlier this month, he released the single, “I Love It” with Lil Pump. It’s unsure if that’ll end up on the project but the song arrived shortly before he announced that he’s dropping a new album.
Are you excited for Kanye West’s Yandhi? Sound off in the comments.
