Could your home’s landscaping use a little TLC? If you’re ready to take it up a notch, Suwanee, GA, landscape designers have some tips for you. Taking your yard from brown and boring to green and inviting is easier than you think.
The Planning Stage
Some people balk at this stage because they feel constricted by planting diagrams and such. However, planning is very important before you dig because you need to know where underground utilities run. The last thing you want is to plant beautiful plants, bushes, and trees to find out you’ve planted too close to the sewer line. Fixing this mistake is timely and costly.
Planning also protects your landscape design in Suwanee from unexpected delays because you don’t have the correct equipment. Some projects require backhoes, stump grinders, etc. Without these tools, you’re stuck in limbo. Make sure you know where to rent large equipment and what type of tools to leave to the pros.
Pick a Focal Point
Where do you want guests to see when they walk up the sidewalk to your house? What’s going to give your home that one-of-a-kind curb appeal? For some people, it’s an ornamental tree or bush. For others, it’s a hardscape accessory like a retaining wall or a water fountain. Decide what your landscaping’s focus point is and start building out from it.
Choose Natural Plants
Some plants grow well in the area, while others do not. For example, plants that need a dry, desert climate are not ideal for landscaping in Suwanee. Many people resist creating elaborate flower gardens because they don’t think they have a green thumb. The truth is that most people plant the wrong things. When you stick with plants that are natural to the area, less maintenance is required. The plants grow easier with less work from you. In some cases, you may not even have to spend as much time and money watering because the plants get what they need from Mother Nature’s natural weather patterns.
Keep It Moving
Your landscaping is a work of art, but not a painting that hangs on the wall. It needs plants that don’t just sit there. Add in a mixture of tall grasses that move in the wind. Also, consider plants that invite wildlife like hummingbirds for life.
Go with the Flow
Let go of your idea of what the landscaping should look like and pick some plants just because. Forget being practical. Go big.
But, don’t go all out. When trying new plants, choose one or two to see how they do in the garden.
Hire a Pro
Sometimes, you need a little help. Landscape contractors in Suwanee help homeowners of all shapes and sizes of yards design beautiful soft and hard landscapes. Call a local contractor today!

Aug 15, 2008 (DVB), A former child soldier who escaped from a hard labour camp after being jailed for desertion has been re-arrested while trying to compile a case to submit to the International Labour Organisation, his uncle said.
Maung Htut San Oo's uncle Ye Tun Zaw claimed his nephew was recruited into Burma's armed forces at the age of 11 and tried to escape on several occasions.
"Maung Htut San Oo was born on 10 October 1987 and lived with his mother Daw Ni Ni Lwin in Hlaing township’s ward 1, his father having passed away when he was very young," Ye Tun Zaw said.
"In early May 1999, when he was 11, he went swimming at Insein swimming pool and was abducted by a soldier on his way back home , he was later taken to a soldier recruitment center where he was enlisted as a soldier," he went on.
"The soldier first took him to Insein railway station’s police station and asked him to choose whether he wanted to go into jail or to go with him," he said.
"Htut San Oo was scared and he decided to go with the soldier who took him to Mingalardon soldier recruitment centre."
Ye Tun Zaw said that at first, Htut San Oo was given menial tasks to do, but shortly after his recruitment he was sent on a military training course.
"For a first few days they only let him work as a servant in military officials’ houses , on 24 May, they sent him on a four-month soldier training programme in Pyinmana," Ye Tun Zaw said.
"After the training, he was posted to air defence artillery battalion 13."
Htut San Oo made two attempts to escape from the military, the second of which was successful, but when he turned 16, he reenlisted at South Dagon’s soldier recruitment centre after learning that the government hunted down military deserters.
Ye Tun Zaw said officials at the South Dagon recruitment centre changed his date of birth on his registration papers to say that he was 21, the minimum legal age for enlistment being 18.
After reenlisting, Htut San Oo was sent to Hle Gu officer training camp outside Rangoon, and was then signed up for an advanced training program which lasted for two and a half months.
"He came home for a visit when he was given leave but he never went back to the army," Ye Tun Zaw said.
"About two years later, when he was 18, he was arrested for deserting the army and was sentenced to two years in prison," he said.
"He was assigned to hard labour on a private rubber plantation. The prisoners were given no holiday or benefits and were beaten when they couldn't work."
Ye Tun Zaw said Htut San Oo managed to escape from the work camp when Cyclone Nargis hit Burma in early May, and began to assemble documents to report his case to the ILO.
He was arrested at his local ward Peace and Development Council office where he went to get a copy of his householder list.
He is now being detained in Insein prison’s ward 4, cell 8, where he is being kept in shackles.

MONTGOMERY, AL - A proclamation signed by Gov. Kay Ivey will be presented to Apprenticeship Alabama partners on November 15, 2017 at the Alabama Department of Commerce as part of National Apprenticeship Week. The program starts at 10 a.m. and will be held in the "Hall of Flags" at The Alabama Center for Commerce.
Immediately after the proclamation ceremony, The Department of Commerce and Apprenticeship Alabama will also be hosting a roundtable industry discussion to address the current and future needs of business and industry in regards to apprenticeship programs in Alabama.
US Dept. of Labor Southeast Region Director, Garfield Garner, will be leading a discussion on National Registered Apprenticeship trends nationwide and for Alabama. There will also be a brief update on the work that Apprenticeship Alabama is doing to engage more companies in apprenticeship programs.
This discussion will include leaders from business and industry, Career Technical Education, Alabama Community College System, Department of Commerce, AIDT and other stakeholders in Alabama.
"National Apprenticeship Week is a great time to highlight the many services available to Alabamians. The ability to 'earn while you learn' can provide opportunities to some that otherwise wouldn't be able to enter high-skill, high-wage industries." stated Fitzgerald Washington, Alabama Secretary of Labor.
"Apprenticeships have proven time and again that they benefit not only companies but also employees. Anything we can do as a state to help both means we all win," said Ed Castile, Deputy Secretary of Commerce.
The third annual National Apprenticeship Week is celebrated November 13 - 19, 2017.
The Alabama Department of Commerce is located at 401 Adams Street, Montgomery, Alabama 36104.

Cooperativity Can Enhance Cellular Signal Detection
Most sensory cells use surface receptors to detect environmental stimuli and initiate downstream signaling. Cooperative interactions among sensory receptors is known to play a crucial role in enhancing the sensitivity of biochemical processes such as oxygen sensing by hemoglobin, but whether cooperativity enhances the fidelity with which a system with multiple receptors can accurately and quickly detect a signal is poorly understood. We model the kinetics of small clusters of receptors in the presence of ligand, where the receptors act independently or cooperatively. We show that the interaction strength and how it is coupled to the dynamics influences the macroscopic observables. Contrary to recent reports, our analysis shows that receptor cooperativity can increase the signal-to-noise ratio, but this increase depends on the underlying dynamics of the signaling receptor cluster.
pacs:87.16.Xa, 87.18.Cf, 87.18.Tt, 87.18.Vf
Biological systems must precisely respond to small changes in environmental cues to carry out essential functions. The best studied example of this precision is the cooperative binding of oxygen to hemoglobin, which allows for tight binding of molecular oxygen under high concentrations in the lung and near complete unbinding under low concentrations at distal locations. This switch-like response is essential for efficiently carrying out tasks, and cooperativity allows hemoglobin to tune binding and unbinding over a very narrow physiological range. Similarly, sensory cells must respond to both small changes in external ligand concentrations and shallow chemical gradients with high accuracy. For example, chemotactic bacteria such as Escherichia coli can detect and respond to extremely small changes in attractant concentrations near the fundamental Berg-Purcell limit Berg and Purcell (1977), which is set by ligand diffusion. It is interesting to imagine that cooperative interactions between receptors may also help increase signal detection, since recent experiments have demonstrated that the bacterial flagellar motor, which is involved in the biochemical pathway for chemotaxis, is highly cooperative ((3); (4)) and cell surface receptors form clusters ((5)). Indeed, it has been suggested that clustering allow receptors to interact cooperatively ((6)), but there is no theoretical basis to suggest that cooperativity helps with signal detection.
Cell signaling is initiated through ligand binding to the extracellular domains of surface receptors, leading to receptor activation (Fig. 1(a)). The increase in receptor activity is directly proportional to the amplitude of the downstream cellular signal. In recent years, there have been several theoretical studies exploring the role of cooperativity in biological signal transduction Bialek and Setayeshgar (2008); (8); Aquino et al. (2011); Skoge et al. (2011). Working within the framework of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model, Bialek and Setayeshgar Bialek and Setayeshgar (2008) showed that receptor cooperativity lowers the threshold required to sense a change in concentration, bringing the value closer to the Berg-Purcell limit. Moreover, Hu et al. (8) employed an Ising-type model to show that receptor cooperativity improves gradient sensing in a two dimensional model of the cell embedded in a chemical gradient. A crucial concept in signal transduction is the ability to detect the signal over the intrinsic noise in the system, which is known as the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. This is particularly important in the present case since cooperativity not only sensitizes the receptors’ response to a signal, but also amplifies their intrinsic noise due to stochastic fluctuations between activated and inactivated states. In this regard, Skoge et al. Skoge et al. (2011), also employing a dynamic Ising model, recently showed that cooperativity in chemoreceptor activity slows down receptor activation leading to a reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio compared to non-interacting receptors. They showed that this result was true for one and two dimensional Ising models making strong implications that cooperativity does not enhance signal detection.
The well-known advantages of cooperativity in signal detection juxtaposed with the recent claim that cooperativity fails to enhance the SNR motivated us to more closely examine the role of receptor kinetics on this phenomena. In this Letter, we formulate the equilibrium energetics of a small cluster of interacting receptors using the formalism of statistical mechanics, and the system’s dynamics are then studied using classical chemical kinetics, in which forward and reverse rate constants determine the transition rates between distinct structural states of the system (Fig. 1). The MWC (11) and Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer (KNF) (12) models make up two seminal schemes for describing the kinetic states involved in the allosteric activation of proteins. Here, we closely follow the KNF model, which assumes that receptor activation immediately follows from ligand binding, and the activation state of neighboring subunits influence the kinetics of activation and deactivation. In general, there are very few constraints placed on a system’s dynamics given its energetics and conformational state space, and because of this, the kinetics can be imposed in a number of ways. For the spin system, it is common to use Glauber dynamics (13) to determine the time evolution of a system. However, detailed balance only restrains the ratio of the forward to backward rate constants, and many biochemical systems fail to follow either of these dynamics (14); (15). We show here that the relationship between SNR and receptor cooperatively is highly dependent on the manner in which detailed balance is enforced.
We consider small clusters of interacting receptors, and each receptor can exist in two states: activated or inactivated. The interaction between receptors is based on the physical proximity of the receptors in a cluster rather than their requirement to fall on a regular lattice, and therefore, the activation/deactivation rate of any given receptor depends on the activation state of all other receptors in the cluster (Fig. 1(b)). The corresponding Hamiltonian is
where is the intrinsic coupling, or represents the active or inactive receptor states, denotes links between receptors, and is related to the energy of ligand binding. Specifically, depends on the bulk ligand concentration and the ligand dissociation constant . For , the system is cooperative and receptors are biased toward the active state, while is a model of independent receptors.
We describe the time evolution of a system of receptors as shown in Fig. 1(c) using the master equation, written here in matrix form
where is a column vector with components and is a tridiagonal matrix, whose nonzero elements are given by , and . Here is the normalized probability of observing active receptors, is the rate at which a single receptor deactivates given that receptors are active, and is the rate at which a single receptor is activated given that receptors are active. We use reflecting boundary conditions such that and for the fully inactive and fully activated states, respectively (20). The average number of active receptors at any point in time, , is given by the probability distribution function: , where are integer components of the column vector .
The ratio of the forward and reverse transition rates between any two adjacent states in Fig. 1(c) is related to the energetics of the system through the principle of detailed balance
where is the energy difference, in thermal units, between the two states and the values and account for the number of available receptors for activation or deactivation, respectively. Our energetic and kinetic formulation in Eqs. 2-3 adheres closely to the approach laid out in Ref. (16). According to Eq. 1, the energy of the system with activated receptors is leading to . Given the definition of , the ligand dependent term becomes , where and are the base activation and deactivation rates for a solitary receptor, respectively. The dissociation constant is defined as the ratio of and . Thus, a definition of the rate constants that is consistent with Eq. 3 is
where is a phenomenological parameter specifying how the energy of coupling affects the forward and backward transition rates, and we assume that the ligand concentration only influences the activation rate. When , Eq. 4 reduces to the standard kinetics for ligand binding to a cluster of non-interacting receptors. For clusters exhibiting positive cooperativity with , tuning from 0 to 1 allows us to explore a range of kinetic models. For instance, Glauber dynamics results from , while a kinetic model in which cooperativity only influences the forward rates and not the reverse rates results from .
The equilibrium probability distribution, , can be determined from Eq. 2 by setting the rate of change to zero. With this quantity, the equilibrium probability of a single receptor being activated as a function of ligand concentration is . This can be solved analytically to determine the dependence of receptor activity on ligand concentration and coupling
where with . For four receptors (), is shown in Fig. 2(a), and we see that as the coupling constant, , increases the activation curve becomes more sigmoidal as expected for highly cooperative transitions such as oxygen binding to hemoglobin. Unlike dynamic properties discussed next, the equilibrium properties depend only on the ratio of forward and backward transition rates.
To determine the kinetic properties of the system after a change in ligand concentration at , we must solve the full master equation in Eq. 2, which can be done formally as
where the exponentiated rate matrix becomes the conditional probability matrix. The average activity of the system, , follows from , and the change in the system due to the external jump in ligand concentration, , is
where is the observation time after the perturbation. Assuming that the change in ligand concentration is small, linear response theory (17) tells us that the return to equilibrium is proportional to the natural fluctuations in the system, and we can rewrite the time averaged dynamic response function Skoge et al. (2011), , as
The time auto-correlation function can be written as , which is
where is an element of the conditional probability matrix and . Using the spectral decomposition, can be diagonalized as , where is formed from the eigenvectors of and is a diagonal matrix of its eigenvalues () with and for .
As shown in Fig. 2(b), increases as cooperativity is introduced into the system. As expected from a shift in the energetics of the active state, leads to greater activity than - the non-interacting case. Additionally, the response time of the system depends on the kinetic model, with eliciting faster dynamics than , since the forward rate constants are larger. The response kinetics of a cluster can be understood more quantitatively in terms of the correlation time , which characterizes the time required for the response to decay to equilibrium
where and is the largest non-zero eigenvalue of the master equation. For a cluster of non-interacting receptors, . The addition of cooperativity slows the dynamics, as can be seen qualitatively in Fig. 2(b), but as shown in Fig. 2(d), is much smaller for dynamics than Galuber dynamics, which have . In fact, this difference becomes more pronounced as the cluster size increases. Nonetheless, regardless of the kinetic model, the static response, , is independent of , and the solid and dashed lines converge at longer times.
For a given observation time , the signal-to-noise ratio is defined as
where is the average intrinsic noise of the receptor cluster averaged over time . The response of a multiple independent receptors is always amplified relative to that of the single receptor. Thus, a cluster of non-interacting receptors has a signal-to-noise ratio which is times the SNR of a single receptor. When cooperativity is introduced into the system, this linear scaling no longer holds, and the quantity must be calculated using the master equation.
The average variance in activity of a cluster of receptors, after averaging for time , is given in ref. Berg and Purcell (1977) as
where is a column-vector with components and is defined as
is a diagonal matrix with elements , where is a time dependent function used to describe the dynamics of the variance. As the observation time, , increases, integration of the signal over multiple transitions from active to inactive leads to a reduction in the variance as shown in Fig. 2(c). However, the speed with which the variance decays is directly related to the time required for a receptor to cycle between active and inactive states, which is roughly twice the system’s correlation time , as shown previously (18); (19). For large observation times, much greater than , the variance becomes
In the case of , we recover the signal-to-noise ratio of non-interacting receptors with for long averaging time,
We calculated the SNR at time for clusters containing 4 receptors and no cooperativity, (blue curve in Fig. 3(a)). As expected, the SNR increases as the ligand concentration is increased. Next, we introduced increasing amounts of cooperativity by tuning from to . For these calculations, we assumed model kinetics with . Surprisingly, we realized that cooperativity increased the SNR, as can be most clearly seen in Fig. 3(b) where the ratio of the SNR for a cooperative cluster to a non cooperative cluster is always greater than one. This result indicates that receptors always benefit from cooperativity when . The increased SNR for a cooperative cluster has a strong dependence on the ligand concentration, and its advantage reaaches a maximum around for the case. For a large cluster containing receptors, the SNR ratio is dramatically increased and for the cooperative cluster is over 10 times more sensitive than the non interacting receptors (Fig. 3(c)). The SNR’s dependence on ligand concentration is even more pronounced, and it is shifted to lower concentration values compared to the smaller cluster. This sharp transition arises from a combination of a more sigmoidal binding curve and a decreased correlation time . Therefore, both the equilibrium and kinetic properties play a role in increasing the SNR. For small ligand concentrations, cooperativity in large clusters dramatically suppresses the SNR (Fig. 3(c)). This suppression arises from decreased receptor activation below threshold. Finally, in Fig. 3(d), we show that a cluster of 4 receptors obeying Glauber dynamics exhibit a reduction in the SNR for high ligand concentrations consistent with a recent report Skoge et al. (2011). Nonetheless, for small ligand concentrations, cooperativity modestly increases the SNR.
Here, we show that cooperativity can increase or decrease the SNR of a receptor cluster depending on the dynamics of receptor activation. For , the SNR can be dramatically increased with respect to a group of non interacting receptors, but this increase is highly dependent on ligand concentration. Moreover, for , the SNR is either reduced or only marginally increased with respect to a cluster of non interacting receptors. This later result is consistent with previous work Skoge et al. (2011), but here we have shown that the SNR depends heavily on ligand concentration as well. Increased sensitivity comes from both the equilibrium properties of the receptors and their intrinsic dynamics. The SNR can be increased dynamically by decreasing the correlation time. Cooperativity reduces the correlation time for clusters with dynamics, while the correlation time increases for clusters obeying Glauber dynamics (). Real biological systems have complex dynamics, and it will be interesting to further explore how the detailed kinetics of a particular signalling system influence their macroscopic properties.

Find out if you have a Permax side effects claim
There is urgent news for Parkinson’s patients who took pergolide therapy, or Permax. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic reported that three patients who used Permax developed severe heart valve disease, much like the deterioration and regurgitation resulting from the diet drug Fen Phen. Two of these Permax patients needed heart valve replacement and the third suffered other serious damage to the valves. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Mayo Clinic have ordered further investigation into the side effects of Permax.
Permax, or pergolide mesylate, is a drug developed by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly to treat Parkinson’s disease. According to Kindra Strupp, spokeswoman for Eli Lilly, more than 500,000 people have taken Permax since the product was approved for treatment of Parkinson’s disease patients about 13 years ago. Strupp noted that the company is aware of the valve disorder and that they have been in contact with the FDA. Amarin Pharmaceuticals Inc. markets Permax in the US, and is also aware of the valve disease.
Dr. Raul Espinosa, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic and one of the authors of the report, says that further investigation into other heart valve surgeries is underway to determine if the condition stemming from pergolide is under-recognized by doctors. This investgation came about after the initial report indicating three cases in which women in their 60’s or 70’s who were taking Permax developed severe, unexplained valvular heart disease. None of the patients–a 72-year-old, 74-year-old and 61-year-old–had used other drugs associated with heart valve problems.
The patients had symptoms such as fluid retention in the legs, breathing difficulties and heart murmurs that can be indicative of heart valve problems. The heart valves keep blood from flowing backwards in the organ, and are essential to the normal flow of blood. Two of the patients underwent surgery to replace the defective valves. Once the valves were removed, and examined, large surface lesions were identified on the valves.
The drug’s makers say that Permax has had a safe record since coming on the market, but that they would consider adding the information when they update the labeling on the Permax package. Dr. Abraham Lieberman, the medical director of the National Parkinson Foundation in Miami, was one of the doctors who studied pergolide in the 1980’s, when it was being developed. “There is evidence of pulmonary fibrosis that is associated with pergolide,” he says, “but there’s a 14-year history of people taking Permax, and why hasn’t this showed up sooner?”
Pergolide shares characteristics with a number of other drugs that have been associated with valvular heart disease. These drugs, including Fen-Phen, which is taken for weight loss, are all associated with a heightened stimulation of serotonin receptors which cause the valve damage.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder resulting from the degeneration of neurons in a region of the brain that controls movement. The degeneration creates a shortage of the brain-signaling chemical known as dopamine, causing the involuntary movements that characterize the disease. In the United States, at least 1.5 million people are believed to be affected by Parkinson’s disease according to the National Parkinson Foundation Inc. (NPF), and about 50,000 new cases are reported annually, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
Many Parkinson’s patients have taken Permax and few are aware of the potential side effects. If you or a loved one have taken Permax and have experienced any of these symptoms or are concerned that you may, call our Permax injury lawyers now at 1-800-THE-EAGLE (1-800-843-3245) or SUBMIT A SHORT AND SIMPLE CASE FORM HERE.


Backup repositories were often affordable NAS devices or external disks of consumer grade. After moving to VMware on centralized storage we started using Veeam Backup and Replication. We purchased a large Synology Rack Mount NAS configured as a 40TB RAID 10. Using old servers I built a "dev" cluster of servers using this NAS as an iSCSI repository. Veeam replicates virtual machines in production to this development setup in another building on a daily or weekly scheduling based on priority. Daily backups for data that frequently changes is done incrementally to another dual RAID 10 Synology NAS device. There are copy jobs that move encrypted versions of our critical backups to disks that can be taken offsite. We are working with a local ISP to get fiber to our building to improve bandwidth for pushing data offsite to Amazon Web Services.

Just one in four Republicans agree that people of color are unfairly punished over marijuana, despite data consistently showing that Black and Hispanic people are disproportionately arrested over cannabis compared to white people, according to a new poll.
It’s a significant finding, especially given how commonly studies and reports about racial discrimination in cannabis enforcement are cited to support efforts to enact marijuana reform. The survey also shows that the message apparently isn’t getting through to sizable portions of Democrats and independents, either, though they are far more likely to acknowledge disparities than GOP voters are.
Overall, 52 percent of Americans agreed strongly or somewhat with the idea that “people of color are unfairly punished for possession of marijuana compared to white people,” the survey from Data for Progress found.
Democrats were most likely to agree with the idea, at 77 percent, including 54 percent who said they strongly agreed. Fifty-seven percent of independents think the same. But just 24 percent of Republicans agreed, including only 11 percent who strongly agreed.
A plurality of white people (48 percent) believe people of color are unfairly punished. But minority respondents themselves are far more likely to agree with the sentiment, with 72 percent of Black people and 64 percent of Hispanic people saying that’s the case.
A majority of people under 45 (65 percent) said minorities were unfairly punished compared to white people over the low-level marijuana offense, versus 45 percent of people over 45.
“With only half of Americans acknowledging the reality that criminalization is enforced in a racially disparate way, clearly more work is needed by advocates and elected leaders to educate the public,” Justin Strekal, founder of the BOWL PAC, told Marijuana Moment. “Given the partisan divide, now is the time for Republican leaders to speak up or be defeated by someone who will.”
(Disclosure: Strekal supports Marijuana Moment’s work through a monthly pledge on Patreon.)
One of the most widely cited reports on racial disparities in cannabis criminalization comes from the ACLU, which found that Black people are about four times more likely to be arrested over marijuana possession compared to white people, despite rates of consumption being roughly the same.
It’s also a fact that the war on drugs in the U.S. was largely precipitated out of racial animus, with an aide to President Richard Nixon admitting that the administration sought to associate Black people and political enemies with drugs as a means to advance their agendas. That was referenced in a congressional resolution introduced in 2018.
Officials with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Museum recently acknowledged how “racial, ethnic and class prejudice” were foundational principles of the drug war that partly led to the agency’s own founding.
The Library of Congress has documented how racist and stigmatizing media depictions of marijuana were used to reinforce prohibition, for example.
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Director Nora Volkow separately said last year that research has firmly demonstrated that drug criminalization has disproportionately impacted communities of color.
President Joe Biden has also talked about racial disparities in cannabis enforcement, including last week when he issued a proclamation pardoning Americans who’ve committed federal marijuana possession offenses.
The U.S. Sentencing Commission (USCC) has since broken down the demographics of those impacted. And while Black people represent about 12 percent of the U.S. population and usage rates are comparable between races, the group accounted for 24 percent of the federal possession cases. White people, by contrast, represent 58 percent of the national population but only accounted for 41 percent of those pardoned under the president’s proclamation.
The new Data for Progress poll involved interviews with 1,220 likely voters from October 7-11, with a +/-3 percentage point margin of error.
The survey also found that the majority of Americans back Biden’s cannabis pardons move, at 72 percent. That includes a majority of likely Republican voters (55 percent).

Several prior surveys conducted and published this past week have also asked Americans about a how they feel about Biden’s marijuana clemency action, and they’ve consistently shown that people are in favor of the decision.
Yet another new poll on the topic, from CivicScience, showed 67 percent of respondents strongly or somewhat back Biden’s pardon action, while a survey from YouGov found that 62 percent of Americans support the move.
By a margin of 62% to 25%, most Americans approve of Biden's federal pardons of those convicted of marijuana possession.

Consistent with prior surveys, Data for Progress, in its poll, also found that an overwhelming majority (80 percent) don’t believe that cannabis should be in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) alongside drugs like heroin. That includes Democrats (88 percent), independents (82 percent) and Republicans (70 percent).
All three of the newest polls also asked people whether they support legalizing marijuana overall, and each showed majority support for the reform. Data for Progress showed support at 66 percent, CivicScience found 70 percent want cannabis legal in their state and YouGov showed 55 percent backing the reform.

Data for Progress also showed that a majority of Americans (67 percent) across the political spectrum believe that nobody should be in jail over cannabis, and 63 percent said marijuana should be legal in all states.
The organization also found that 63 percent of respondents believe marijuana should be safer in the U.S. if was legal. Another 64 percent said that cannabis has positive health effects. And 71 percent said legalization would generate tax revenue that would benefit society.
CivicScience separately asked people who answered the question about their stance about Biden’s pardon action about their cable news preferences. People who said they watch Fox News were the least likely to support the cannabis clemency at 32 percent, compared to 93 percent who said they watch MSNBC and 87 percent who watch CNN.
Two-thirds of CNN and MSNBC viewers hold a ‘very positive’ view of President Biden's decision to pardon thousands of Americans convicted of federal marijuana possession, while 11% of Fox News viewers say the same. Read more here ➡ https://t.co/xTkvlB6fs2 pic.twitter.com/yATlrkFofY

That firm additionally asked respondents if “U.S. marijuana policy should be more or less forgiving than President Biden’s decision to pardon thousands of Americans convicted of simple possession under federal law.”
Forty-four percent said it should be more forgiving, 27 percent said it should be less forgiving and 29 percent said that it’s appropriately forgiving as it is.
YouGov also surveyed respondents about their own personal experience with cannabis. It found that half of Americans say they’ve at least tried marijuana.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris said on Monday that voters should elect lawmakers who support marijuana reform so that Congress can enact a “uniform approach” to the issue in light of the president’s cannabis pardons.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said that he appreciates the “significant” step that the president has taken, but there’s “more that we can do” to address the drug war and he’s “very hopeful” that additional reform can be enacted before the end of this Congress.
While the senator said that he does believe legalization could pass, the expectation is that Congress will work to advance a package of incremental marijuana reform proposals that includes banking and research legislation during the lame duck session.
Several Cabinet-level officials have celebrated Biden’s cannabis reform actions, including the heads of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and Department of Labor.

It’s time to show off the artistic talents in this week’s edition of the Moodle Army!
Comfort zones…whether taken literally or figuratively, they conjure images of safety, cosiness, and rooms adorned in as many Hygge-worthy soft furnishings as you can crochet from alpaca wool (in my head anyway!) So had I gone a step too far by asking the Moodle recruits to leave such wondrous surroundings?
For my own entry this week, I was reminded of a training session I once attended, about taking risks in business. It was the usual, PowerPoint laden affair until they broke out the Slinky toys and crayons…
We were told the story of how an elephant who, cruelly tethered for years by a chain and forced to walk around in circles, could not bring itself to step outside the circle once the chains were broken. It was stuck in its comfort zone…that was ultimately destroying it as it refused to go out and look for food.
The anecdote has always stuck with me and as I think I’m quite capable of drawing a passable cartoon elephant (albeit, from behind), I decided to use this as a basis. Except, as suggested by the prompt post, I used my left-hand. And my mouth. And my toes.
See the photographic evidence. I shaved my Hobbit feet especially. You’re welcome!
Let’s see where the Moodlers have dared to venture with this week’s entries – Don’t forget, there will be a new challenge tomorrow at 9am – join in, share and spread the Moodle love!
Thanks all for taking part, reblogging and reading. Enjoy!
Not being allowed to Netflix and Chill, poor James is like some tragic urchin from a Dickensian novel, being torn from his comfort zone!
Allegedly, this is Mark’s left-handed entry, a landscape of Dartmoor. I feel he may have qualifications in ambidexterity…
And finally, another who was clearly on the same certified course as Mark is Sue, with her left-handed offering of segregated territory!

The hypocrisy of Western leftists is becoming a little too much to bear with regards to women’s rights and the Middle East.
Most left-wingers and Democrats today would hold that going to war in the Middle East was a mistake, a destructive act started by Bush, and even a hindrance on the lives of Muslims. Simultaneously, most leftists would say women’s rights are important to them, if not a top priority issue. As an individual who believes in feminine empowerment while acknowledging the reality of foreign affairs, I cannot help but notice a disconnect. Alleged infringements on women’s rights in the United States are exaggerated, while the violent struggles of women in the Middle East are largely ignored by the same people.
CNN recently did a story on the Sun Brigade, an all-female unit of the Kurdish forces, who are fighting back against ISIS since they stormed Sinjar (the Iraqi province of the Yazidi minority that formed the Sun Brigade), killed hundreds of people, and sold women and children into slavery. The narrative is inspiring, describing how a band of female musicians laid down their instruments and took up arms to protect their fellow women. A member of the Sun Brigade proclaims, “We are Yazidi. We are women. And we will destroy you or anyone who touches our women and dirties our lands.” This rallying call should have been an international moment of female empowerment, yet the story goes largely unnoticed.
Even more recently, the Taliban in Afghanistan conducted a purging of women leaders in the province of Kunduz. In this area, women were finally gaining some ground by leading an all-girls high school and establishing shelter for female victims of domestic violence (described by Taliban commanders as “immoral”). The Taliban responded by burning buildings, looting offices, and smashing belongings, followed up by threats communicated to the women leaders who were able to escape. Abdul Wali Raghi, commander of the Taliban, had a less than pleasant message for Hassina Harwari, the woman who ran the shelter: “Hassina Harwari herself is an immoral slut and if we had captured her, she would be hanged in the main circle in Kunduz city.”
It sounds like women’s problems in United States are arguably minuscule compared to the literal violence women face in the Middle East. So where are the feminists in America when we need them to speak up on these issues? Where is the international community when vulnerable women need them most, and what will be done in the future?
Women’s rights activists need to rethink their pacifist stance. While protests, social media campaigns, and rallies make headway in the West, these actions only end in death in the Middle East. International intervention is needed, and a few UN peacekeepers are not going to be enough. Sometimes, war is necessary, even moral, if it means eradicating oppressive, violent forces and protecting targeted and vulnerable groups.

Barnsley v QPR - Sky Bet Championship - Tuesday, 26th September 2017 - Oakwell
QPR left it late to claim a share of the spoils against Barnsley on Tuesday night, as Luke Freeman’s stunning 87th minute equaliser handed Ian Holloway’s side a plucky point in South Yorkshire.
Freeman’s outrageous long-range effort cancelled out Harvey Barnes’ equally impressive first-half goal, as honours ended even at Oakwell.
Barnes’ 20th minute strike, a fantastic curling effort from fully 20-yards, looked to have settled a game of few clear-cut chances, but Rangers – after an improved second half display – salvaged a deserved point thanks to Freeman’s blockbuster.
Holloway made three changes to the Hoops’ starting XI following Saturday’s 0-0 draw at home to Burton Albion.
Steven Caulker, Massimo Luongo and Bright Osayi-Samuel – the latter making his full QPR debut – started, with Darnell Furlong, Yeni Ngbakoto and Conor Washington missing out.
Alex Smithies started in goal, behind a back four of Alex Baptiste, Caulker, Jack Robinson and Jake Bidwell.
Skipper Luongo was named alongside former Tykes star Josh Scowen and Freeman in a three-man midfield, with Osayi-Samuel and Pawel Wszolek providing support for Jamie Mackie in attack.
On a misty night in South Yorkshire, Rangers – lining up in a 4-3-3 formation – settled well.
Indeed, it was the R’s who created the first opportunity of the game on the quarter hour, when Bidwell raced to the by-line and pulled the ball back to Wszolek, who saw his header saved by Adam Davies.
It was the hosts, however, who broke the deadlock on 20 minutes, courtesy of a stunning strike from distance.
Arriving onto a loose ball, Barnes curled an unstoppable right-footed shot into the top corner from fully 20-yards, giving Smithies absolutely no chance.
Buoyed by their goal, the Tykes almost made it two on 36 minutes, but Adam Jackson’s header from an Adam Hammill free-kick looped just wide.
Rangers were second-best by now and headed into the break a goal down.
Holloway reacted to his sides’ below-par first half display by making a change at the break, introducing Washington at the expense of Osayi-Samuel, whilst the hosts replaced goalscorer Barnes with Tom Bradshaw.
Now deploying a 4-4-2 formation, Rangers began the second period on the front foot, creating the first chance of the half, when Bidwell’s speculative right-footed volley flew inches over the bar.
Moments later, Mackie volleyed a half-chance over the crossbar, before the action swung to the other end, with Ike Ugbo seeing his low drive well saved by Smithies.
Rangers continued to ask questions of the Tykes rearguard, with Scowen heading over Freeman’s 64th minute corner.
A minute later, Luongo appeared to be brushed aside in the box by George Moncur, but despite protestations from the Australian and his team-mates, the referee waved away the appeals.
Smithies had to be at his agile best to tip Hammill’s goal-bound half-volley soon after, as Barnsley provided a threat on the counter-attack.
But the best chance of the half fell the way of Wszolek on 68 minutes, with the Polish wide-man spurning a golden opportunity midway through the second period.
Arriving on to Freeman’s pass, the R’s winger was wasteful with his effort, squandering a fantastic chance to draw Rangers level.
Holloway made his second change of the evening with 17 minutes to play, withdrawing Caulker at the expense of Matt Smith.
A couple of minutes later, Kazenga LuaLua replaced Mackie.
Smith toe-poked a shot on target six minutes from time which Davies saved with ease, but there was nothing the Tykes keeper could do to prevent an R’s equaliser on 87 minutes.
Freeman created space for himself 25-yards from goal and fired an unstoppable shot into the foot of the net, to draw the Hoops level.
It was a stunning strike and one worthy of the R’s improved second half display, as the Hoops headed back to the capital with a hardworking point.

US President Barack Obama has backed Pentagon plans to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.
President Obama said the site in Cuba undermines national security and US values.
The Obama administration has released its long-awaited plan to close the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay and transfer remaining detainees to a facility in the US, but the proposal ducks the question of where the facility would be located.
The plan delivered to Congress makes a financial argument for closing the controversial detention centre in Cuba. US officials say it calls for up to $475m in construction costs that would ultimately be offset by as much as $180m per year in operating cost savings.
The proposal is part of Barack Obama's last effort to make good on his unfulfilled 2008 campaign vow to close Guantanamo and persuade policymakers to allow the Defence Department to move nearly 60 detainees to the US.
But with few specifics, the proposal may only further antagonise policymakers who have repeatedly passed legislation banning any effort to move detainees to the US.
US officials say the plan considers, but does not name, 13 locations in the US, including seven existing prison facilities in Colorado, South Carolina and Kansas, as well as six other locations on military bases.
They say the plan does not recommend a preferred site and the cost estimates are meant to provide a starting point for a conversation with Congress.
The seven facilities reviewed by a Pentagon assessment team last year were the US Disciplinary Barracks and Midwest Joint Regional Corrections Facility at Leavenworth, Kansas; the Consolidated Naval Brig, Charleston, South Carolina; the Federal Correctional Complex, which includes the medium, maximum and supermax facilities in Florence, Colorado; and the Colorado State Penitentiary II in Canon City, Colorado, also known as the Centennial Correctional Facility.
According to the officials, the US facilities would cost between $265m and $305m to operate each year. The annual operating cost for Guantanamo is $445m.
More detailed spending figures, which are considered classified, will be provided to Congress, said the officials.
Late last year, other US officials said the assessments by the Pentagon team suggested that the Centennial Correctional Facility in Colorado is a more suitable site to send detainees whom officials believe should never be released.
Members of Congress have been demanding the Guantanamo plan for months, but those representing South Carolina, Kansas and Colorado have voiced opposition to housing the detainees in their states.
The administration is currently prohibited by law from moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States. Mr Obama has long opposed that prohibition and the White House has not ruled out the possibility that the president may attempt to close the prison through executive action.
Advocates of closing Guantanamo say the prison has long been a recruiting tool for militant groups and that holding extremists suspected of violent acts indefinitely without charges or trial sparks anger and dismay among US allies.
Opponents say moving the detainees will not eliminate that problem.
There are currently 91 detainees at Guantanamo Bay, of whom 35 are expected to be transferred out by this summer.
The rest are either facing trial by military commission or have been determined to be too dangerous to release but are not facing charges. Some cannot be charged because of insufficient evidence and some may face future prosecution or have been designated for indefinite detention under the international laws of war.
Seven detainees are in the early stages of trial by military commission, including the five men accused of planning and aiding the September 11 terrorist attack, and three have been convicted and are serving sentences.
At its peak in 2003, Guantanamo held nearly 680 detainees, and there were about 245 when Mr Obama took office.

In September, we passed the grim milestone of 1 million deaths from COVID-19 globally and numbers continue to rise in a crisis that feels as if there’s no end. But the World Health Organization and its partners continue to work tirelessly to manage the pandemic and forge a way out for all.
Just seven months ago, the UN Foundation joined forces with the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO) to urgently fill funding gaps in the COVID-19 response with the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Since March, over 633,000 individuals, philanthropies, and corporations from 190 countries have generously given more than US$236 million to the Fund.
This money has been rapidly deployed to:
- Speed personal protective equipment, testing kits, and other important supplies to where they are most needed.
- Conduct research on potential COVID-19 treatments, diagnostics, and vaccines.
- Enable information about the virus to be shared.
- Support vulnerable populations with infection prevention control and other services.
The Fund and the outpouring of generosity that has accompanied it constitute an act of global solidarity and a commitment to the idea that the only way out of this pandemic is by working together.
Because the Fund has been able to rapidly move flexible funding to where it is most needed, it has already had a tremendous impact. Between July 1 and Sept. 30, at the direction of WHO, the Fund disbursed more than US$41 million to WHO and US$5 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), bringing total disbursements to WHO and its partners to US$219.7 million. The Fund fuels WHO and other UN agencies to tackle the pandemic, even as needs evolve and new issues arise. Learn more about the Fund’s impact in the latest quarterly report.
How exactly is the WHO managing the pandemic and forging a way out? Here’s a look at how the Fund has been helping UN agencies distribute lifesaving equipment, protect some of the world’s most at-risk areas, and develop vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics that will be instrumental to ending this pandemic.
Delivering the Tools to Fight COVID-19
The pandemic shocked global supply chains, and countries could not access personal protective equipment (PPE), testing kits, oxygen respirators, and other tools to fight the virus. Enter the World Food Programme (WFP). The WFP, which was recently awarded the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize, has a global logistics distribution system that can get goods to where they’re most needed. As the pandemic accelerated, so did demand for WFP’s logistics services. The Fund provided US$20 million to scale up its global logistics distribution system.
In August alone, WFP dispatched more than 17,000 cubic meters of health and humanitarian cargo. To put that into perspective, 1 cubic meter of PPE is equivalent to 32,500 clinical masks, 1,800 face shields, 1,600 safety goggles, or 30,000 gloves.
The Fund also supports WHO in procuring PPE, COVID-19 diagnostics, and medical equipment. Between July 1 and Sept. 30, WHO deliveries of PPE alone — comprising medical masks, respirators, goggles, face shields, gowns, and gloves — increased from 5.5 million pieces to more than 220 million pieces, to 173 countries.
What do these shipments and numbers mean? They mean front-line health care workers can be protected, outbreak clusters contained, and lives saved.
Managing the Infodemic
Spreading alongside the virus is misinformation. The term “infodemic,” coined by WHO, refers to an overabundance of information — some accurate, some not — that occurs during a disease outbreak. This misinformation makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance to protect themselves, their families, and their communities against infection.
Resources from the Fund are also supporting WHO’s work to manage the infodemic. WHO hosted its first infodemiology conference this summer with world experts to create a research agenda. At the community level, the WHO Information Network for Epidemics (EPI-WIN) is partnering with trusted sectors and pillars of society — faith-based organizations, youth associations, employers, health workers, cities and mayors, the private sector, governments, and others — to share and adapt information. This ensures that people can easily access evidence-based information about COVID-19, and that in turns means they are more likely to believe it.
Leaving No One Behind
This pandemic has made it clear that we are only as strong as the most vulnerable people. To make sure we all recover together, WHO is providing essential goods and services to some of the world’s most at-risk populations.
The Fund allocated US$5.05 million for WHO to support the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and strengthen the continent’s response to the pandemic. The grant is helping to develop a harmonized strategy to protect borders, travellers, economies, livelihoods, and schools from the risk of increased COVID-19 transmission as African countries reopen.
The UN Relief Agency (UNHCR), which provides protection for over 86.5 million refugees, stateless persons, and internally displaced people, is also responding to the pandemic with support from the Fund. In Uganda, for instance, 21 quarantine centers and 109 health centers are being improved and expanded in refugee-hosting areas. UNHCR is also advocating for national governments to make sure refugees, internally displaced people, and other marginalized groups are included in public health responses.
UNRWA, meanwhile, provides health services to 5.6 million Palestine refugees. As of Sept. 30, more than 9,000 Palestine refugees were confirmed to be infected with COVID-19. Fund contributions are supporting primary health care service delivery at 141 UNRWA health centers in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. From July through September, these centers provided 1.8 million health consultations.
The impact the Fund is rapidly making in UN agencies’ global response to COVID-19 is clear. Without the generous donations and global solidarity of Fund supporters, the world would be lagging behind in the response to COVID-19.
Finding A Way Out
To end this pandemic, we need diagnostics, therapeutics, and eventually, a vaccine — and these need to be distributed equitably. The Fund is helping WHO and its partners do just that. WHO is leading efforts to learn about the virus and understand the best ways to overcome it. Research is occurring at breakneck speed, and WHO is coordinating these advancements.
Looking ahead, WHO is preparing to launch the Vaccine Solidarity Trial. With over 100 vaccine candidates being developed globally, some with the help of an early Fund disbursement to CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the trial will help determine which vaccine candidates are both safe and effective. Findings from the trial will bring us one step closer to ending this pandemic.
Developing a vaccine, though, is not enough — people everywhere will also need access to it. Earlier this spring, WHO, CEPI, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance launched COVAX to develop, manufacture, and equitably deliver 2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine by the end of 2021, as the vaccine pillar of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator.
As the WHO Director-General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said, “The ultimate measure of success will not be how fast we can develop tools — it will be how equally we can distribute them.” A global pandemic calls for unprecedented global partnership to help us all recover. COVAX helps us do just that.
Urgent Needs Remain
As we approach almost a year since this virus was discovered, the battle against the pandemic continues to rage on around the world, with many countries experiencing spiking infection rates and once again placing restrictions on transportation and working from home. The COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund has helped global partners prevent, detect, and address the COVID-19 pandemic, but there continue to be urgent needs in the global response. Every donation makes a difference. Support WHO and partners’ lifesaving efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by giving to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

According to the website NME.com David Bowie was battling liver cancer. Although it hasn’t been made official that is according to Theatre director Ivo Van Hove who worked with Bowie on a theater production of Lazarus which is also the same name as David’s last album that was released on Jan. 8th.
Adding to that, Bowie apparently suffered 6 heart attacks prior to his passing according to the person who published a biography about Bowie a few year back, Wendy Leigh.
Either way, Bowie was said to be a workhorse who was working even as he was on his deathbed.

Raigunj, Oct. 5: Forty-eight hours after a mystery plane “dropped” a “packet” in a pond in Mokdamgach village in the Chopra police station area, which, according to some villagers, triggered an explosion, the police closed the case today saying there is “nothing in it”.
Police and villagers failed to find a fragment of any material that could suggest an explosion after flushing out the water from the pond and conducting an intensive search to trace the debris of the “bomb-like” object. There was also no packet.
“I am hundred per cent certain nothing fell into the pond or in the surrounding area. We are ending the search operations and have asked police to leave the area,” said district superintendent of police Arun Sharma.
Chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee also expressed doubts over the veracity of the villagers’ claims. “The main problem is that the search is being conducted on the basis of what a 14-year-old girl saw. I have asked the police to investigate and submit a detailed report to me,” Bhattacharjee said this afternoon.

2 Corinthians 9:10 (New International Version)
This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way.
2 Corinthians 9:10 (The Message)

This rattler was about 4-5 feet long and seemed thick. I counted nine sets of buttons on his tail; they didn't rattle at us so it was a good encounter.

|Also known as||RoC , Riray|
May 23, 1982|
Malabon City, Metro Manila, Philippines
|Genres||P-pop, rap, dance|
|Occupation(s)||Singer, songwriter, dancer, actress|
Rochelle Pangilinan (born May 23, 1982, in Malabon City, Philippines) is a Filipina dancer, actress and recording artist. She was one of the founding members of the popular group SexBomb Girls. In 2007, she repackaged herself as a rap and hip-hop artist under the name RoC.
Rochelle "Riray" Pangilinan was born in Malabon City, Philippines, and is one of three siblings. Her family was very poor, and her father, Rodolfo Pangilinan, was an alcoholic wife-beater. Her parents separated but reunited in 2000 after her father stopped drinking, but he died on November 11, 2007, of emphysema. Rochelle also has a fan who look exactly like her named April Casingal who recently engaged with Marco Recio.
Pangilinan entered dancing contests at a young age, and at age 14 was offered a job at Eat Bulaga!, a popular daytime variety show. She was only 14 when she first appeared on Eat Bulaga!. A group of dancers including Pangilinan were formed in November 1999 as the Chicken Sandwich Dancers, an offshoot of the Danz Focus (the resident dancers of Eat Bulaga!). At first, there were four (Cheryl, Debra, Janine and Rochelle). The group expanded to six with the addition of Jopay and Aira, then eventually expanded to 8, 12 and then 13 (during their first FHM Philippines appearance) to an all-time high of 22. In 2000, the Tom Jones song, "Sexbomb", was a hit in the Philippines, and the group was named the SexBomb Dancers by their manager, Joy Cancio.
In 2002, the singing group SexBomb Girls was formed, with members Jopay Paguia, Evette Pabalan, Weng Ibarra, Monic Icban, Izzy Trazona, and Pangilinan herself. In that same year, they released their debut album Unang Putok, with the hit single "Bakit Papa". They went on to later release three more albums.
In 2002, the SexBomb Girls starred in their first movie, Bakit Papa, with co-stars Allan K., Wendell Ramos, Epi Quizon, Chynna Ortaleza and Richard Gutierrez. In that same year, Pangilinan starred (without her group) in the movie Bertud ng Putik, where she was the leading lady of Bong Revilla, and rival to the character played by Regine Tolentino. She was also a regular on Daboy en Da Girl, a show on GMA KiliTV.
In 2004, Pangilinan appeared on Home Along Da Airport with co-star Dolphy, a show on ABS-CBN, GMA's rival network. After her appearance in the rival network, there were rumors that she would switch channels but she stated that she will not be leaving GMA. In 2005, she appeared on the TV show Darna as a mermaid named Corella, Darna's ally.
In early 2010, Pangilinan portrayed one of the main villains, Deborah/Babaeng Manananggal in Darna.
Recently, Pangilinan appeared as one of the lead characters, Marikit, on the Philippine historical drama Amaya.
Rochelle as RoC
Pangilinan stated on showbiz talk show S Files in March 2007 that she will be leaving the SexBomb Girls' roster for a short period of time and will not appear in the group's long-awaited return on Eat Bulaga!. Whilst on leave, she co-wrote and recorded songs along with established rap artists Michael V., Gloc-9, and fellow SexBomb Girls Evette Pabalan and Jovel Palomo, resulting in her debut rap album. She later returned to Eat Bulaga! as part of the dancing roster.
On June 3, 2007, Rochelle introduced herself as RoC and launched her debut album Roc-A-Holic (released on June 8, 2007, by Panacea Music) on a weekly variety show, SOP Rules. The album consists of catchy rap, hip hop-flavored and Latin-inspired songs, with the carrier single "Baile".

I was told that in buttercream icing that if you use margarine instead of unsalted butter that it will hold up better in a hot environment. I live in Virginia Beach Va and it gets really hot. Is this true?
I too am in the process of figuring this out as the humidity is starting to get bad and I have already had trouble with my buttercream drooping quickly. I have heard to repace 1/2 the butter with shortening to help. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
I use all shortening...whipped well first. Never greasy

We’re going to create a 'not-for-profit' family-friendly waterfront community arts hub & space for ALL, within Ramsgate Royal Harbour.
All profits from the Ramsgate Arts Barge will be reinvested back into the project & local community initiatives - to help those in the community who need it most. By supporting this Crowdfunder campaign, your donation will directly support the launch of a sustainable project that once opened, will serve & help the Ramsgate community for generations to come. We cannot do this without you & it will not happen without your support.
2020 has been a year like no other. We all need some good news and something positive to look forward to...
Introducing... 'Vriendschap' (The Ramsgate Arts Barge)...
- This project aims to unite the community of Ramsgate & Thanet through a 'not-for-profit' social enterprise project to repair, renovate and refurbish a 130-year old, 51-metre Dutch barge 'Vriendschap' (Dutch for friendship), into a family-friendly waterfront community arts hub & space for ALL.
- Over 100+ volunteers have registered to date to be a part of this incredible community venture.
- To celebrate & champion Ramsgate's unique maritime history, we want to be open in September 2021 - in time for Ramsgate's 200th year celebrations as the UK's sole Royal Harbour Marina - granted by King George IV in 1821.
- The project will create Ramsgate’s first large multi-faceted arts events & performance space, hosting a year-round diverse offering of arts events including visual arts, exhibitions, comedy, theatre, art installations, acoustic music, cabaret, film screenings, spoken word, poetry, debates, talks & community events. In addition, a wide range of child & adult art courses, classes & workshops will be available throughout the whole year.
The key aims & objectives of the 'Ramsgate Arts Barge' project are to:
- Create NEW Job Opportunities
- BOOST and stimulate the local economy by driving increased footfall & tourism into Ramsgate 12-months per year- to everyones benefit.
- Provide FREE access to the arts for ALL school children across the Thanet District (which ranks as the most deprived local authority in Kent) through a series of programmes, workshops & events.
- Provide ten hours per week FREE community studio hire to all schools, colleges, charities, not-for-profits, performing arts groups & all societies with a social aim & objective operating across Ramsgate, Thanet & Kent.
- Reinvest all Ramsgate Arts Barge profits back into the project & local community initiatives to address local issues & help those in the community who need it most.
Mayor of Ramsgate, Raushan Ara "This is a very exciting new venture for our community, which can be accessed all year round and another addition to our harbour". (photo credit: Eleanor Marriott) The project has already started forming school & educational partnerships across the Thanet District & will continue to do so across all schools in Thanet throughout the Crowdfunding campaign. Head of Ramsgate Arts Primary School, Nick Budge “This is a fabulously creative project that is set in our town’s internationally-famous harbour, and RAPS is keen to support any idea that expands the creative arts in our community. Our long term vision is to form a learning partnership with the Arts Barge and become an integral part of the proposed educational programme.”
Overview of the 'Ramsgate Arts Barge' project:
- 'Ramsgate Arts Barge Community Interest Company' is a social-enterprise 'not-for-profit' organisation - all profits from this project go back into the project & community initiatives
- In August 2020, RAB CIC took legal ownership of 'Vriendschap'
- 'Vriendschap' is now a community asset to Ramsgate - it is not hired or leased - it is here to stay and protected under a legal 'asset lock' which prevents it ever being sold for private or personal gain. The more successful this project is - the greater the community benefits, which will last for generations.
- The permanent mooring has been approved by Thanet District Council - now we need YOUR help to bring this project to life!
External Concept Idea (Image: del Renzio & del Renzio, Architects):
Ramsgate Arts Barge & Community Arts:
- Ramsgate Arts Barge will support, assist & champion local artists, providing a large arts space to enable local artists to showcase their work & celebrate the town being a centre of artistic creativity - as highlighted by the 'Creative Ramsgate' report (Heritage Lab, 2019)
- A number of affordable art studios will be available for hire to local artists for both short & long-term artistic projects.
- A full range of adult art courses, classes & workshops will be available on the Ramsgate Arts Barge year-round - encouraging day-trippers, overnight stays & tourism into the area - to the local economies benefit.
- The project will form partnerships with domestic & overseas arts institutions to create ‘artist in residency’ programmes, attracting established international artist’s in their field. The large events space will serve to attract well known artists across the arts – putting Ramsgate on the map as ‘must-visit’ destination for the arts…
- The power of arts in a community should not be under-estimated for it's social & economical benefits. Arts have the power to improve well-being & mental health through inclusive activities that will unite, strengthen & create togetherness throughout the whole community.
Internal/External Concept Ideas (Image: del Renzio & del Renzio, Architects):
The 'Ramsgate Arts Barge' Crowdfunder Campaign:
- Your donation will help 'do some good' in the world, with the effect & impact of your donation lasting for decades.
- By making a donation, you will be playing the BIGGEST part in the whole project - directly contributing towards creating a sustainable community arts space that can be enjoyed now and by future generations – ALL because of your generous donation & support.
Where your incredibly kind donation will go:
We are aiming to raise a total of £97,472 from this Crowdfunding campaign.
ALL money raised will go directly towards the following:
1. Essential steel welding repair works, maintenance & protective painting to the barge. Once these major steel repair works have been completed, the barge will only need light maintenance/protective coat painting re-applied every 10 years.
2. Royal Institute of British Architecture (RIBA) Feasibility Study (del Renzio & del Renzio - Ramsgate Architects) . This in-depth study/report looks at all practical design considerations, recommendations & suggestions prior to the renovation & refurbishment.
3. Barge Inspection Survey & Repair Consultancy. Like a car MOT, all boats must be inspected, safe & repair works completed if needed. The full hull inspection (bottom of the boat) has already taken place, identifying all the major essential steel work repairs needed.
4. Initial materials for the renovation & refurbishment, protective & safety equipment for volunteers & tool hire. To keep costs down and be as environmentally friendly as possible, we are planning to use as many reclaimed and recycled materials as possible during the renovation & refurbishment.
5. Project overheads: Mooring, Marine & Public Liability Insurance & Electricity. If we can hit the Crowdfunder target, this will cover all the project overheads throughout the repair, renovation & refurbishment phases, right up until the September 2021 opening.
Let us unite to create an incredible community hub for ALL and finish 2020 on a high, with smiles on our faces & full of optimism of what the future brings...
This isn't a project about a boat - this is a project about hope.
We need YOUR support to make this project possible. Please give what you can - knowing your donation will enable a brighter future for generations to come. We cannot do this without your help. Please donate what you can and be a part of making this incredible community project possible. Thank you.
It's time for community.
