I've been thinking about this for awhile. Think about a song or songs that really, and I mean really move you in some way. Whether it's the lyrics or the melody or whatever. Some song that resonates with you on an emotional level. Got the song in mind? Great! Now, can you hoop to it?
I have a few songs that I really, really love. Songs that really touch me in a way. However, none of them are songs I can hoop too. I don't know why. There are just some songs, types of music, etc., that I struggle to hoop too. However, I really want to express what I feel inside when I hear these songs outwardly with my hoop.
So, as a challenge, I'm going to work on hooping to one of these songs. I'm hoping once I get over the initial block I seem to have, that these songs just might bring out something in my hooping that I didn't know was there simply because they touch me.
The challenge? Pick a song that moves you but one that you might not necessarily hoop to and see if you can work through whatever is holding you back from expressing this beloved song through your hoopdancing!
I've got two songs in mind. They are totally different, and neither one is something I'd usually hoop too. I mean I'd jam around with the songs playing the background, but I've never consciously hooped TO thes songs. Meaning, really listened to either one of them as I was hooping and tried to express the song through my movement. I don't mean in a theatrical sense. I'm not much on "theatrical" hooping. It's not that I don't appreciate it; I just personally wouldn't do it. What I'm trying to get at it a somewhat very unfluent way is that I want to know if my hooping is different when I hoop to something that really means something to me rather than just a fun song that appeals to me.
I understand what you mean. If you look at my "Hooping Through Heartache" video, you'll see that I was tearing up near the end of it. Part of that was because of what I was going through at the time, but part of it was because of the song itself. Because of both factors, I think that's one of the more powerful hoop dances I've done.
Wow I SO love this challenge! I just found my camera so I do definitely want to get a hooping video up. Unfortunately the weather has been so crappy and I think my landlord is feeling a little crabby because I made this kind of gross patch in the grass from jumping around while it was muddy and wet. But I think this Saturday we're due for a nice day. I can't wait to attempt this!
Two songs immediately spring to mind and I have no idea how I'm going to hoop to them! But I love this. I think that a lot of music that is "moving" isn't necessarily what springs to mind when you think of what you want to hoop to. I think it's going to result in a lot of very interesting vids! Thanks for this. :)

Perceptions of corporate greed are further damaging the image of businesses already struggling to overcome the negative perceptions generated by recent corporate scandals -and there is no easy solution to the problem.
CEO pay levels are increasingly a source of concern for the board members of US companies, according to Jay Lorsch, Louis Kirstein Professor of Human Relations at the Harvard Business School.
The long-term trend in the US has been for CEO pay to rise along with the pay of other executives, and it is now twice as much as that of CEOs in major European countries.
Lorsch points to a recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research indicating that the increase in pay of senior executives has been a major source of the rising inequality of wages in the US. Criticisms of CEO pay have two main themes, Lorsch says: it is too high, and it is not related to company performance.
But the reasons behind high levels of CEO pay are complex and difficult to overcome, argues Lorsch. The most significant of these is that board compensation committees face pressure to keep raising CEO pay. This is partly because of fear of losing an adequate CEO.
To make sure this does not happen, compensation committees rely on surveys by consultants about CEO pay in similar companies but without regard to company performance.
These surveys report compensation by quartiles - and most companies want to place their CEO in the upper quartile. As a result, says Lorsch, CEOs are like the children of Lake Wobegone - all are above average.
Another upward pressure comes when boards are trying to attract a new CEO from outside the company. This often means not only high pay, including incentives for performance, but also guaranteed "goodbye" payments if things do not work out.
The main brake on rising CEO pay levels is concern among directors about shareholder reaction to excess compensation, but often this is weak. Shareholders are a changing and amorphous group to the directors, while the CEO is real and has an office down the hallway. Unsurprisingly, upward pressure usually wins out.
But Lorsch suggests a few steps compensation committees can take to keep CEO pay levels in check. The first is to recognise that consultants' surveys are flawed and are a huge source of the problem. Directors should insist on surveys that reflect company performance.
Second, it is helpful to gauge CEO pay in relation to what the next echelon of management is being paid, thus placing the focus on internal quality. Finally, compensation committees should focus more on what shareholders will accept - ignoring shareholder concerns will continue to exacerbate an already serious problem, Lorsch says.

Anna Wedderburn reports on a recent Irish study that demonstrated the link between the second wave of Covid-19 and international travel
A study led by Prof Patrick Mallon, Professor of Microbial Diseases in the University College Dublin School of Medicine and Consultant in Infectious Diseases in St Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin, has demonstrated that the second Covid-19 wave in Ireland was most likely to have been directly caused by international travel.
This conclusion was reached by sequencing and comparing the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 found in individuals in Ireland during the first and second wave of Covid-19. Using open source databases online, such as GISAID and PANGOLIN, which map SARS-CoV-2 variants across the globe, Prof Mallon and his team were able to trace the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 variants that were found in Ireland, where they came from and when they arrived.
This study highlighted the impact that effective lockdowns can have on the SARS-CoV-2 virus. After the first lockdown in Ireland, which saw the daily reported case numbers of laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 fall to three, the lineages of SARS-CoV-2 that were present during the first wave of Covid-19 did not reappear.
Additionally, this study demonstrated that the second wave of Covid-19 in Ireland resulted directly from SARS-CoV-2 infections being imported into the country, most likely through travel from continental Europe and the United Kingdom and then spreading throughout the population. Finally, the data did not find any significant associations between the different SARS-CoV-2 variants found in Ireland and disease severity or clinical outcome.
First versus second wave
Four hospitals were included in Prof Mallon’s study: the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin; St Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin; Beaumont Hospital, Dublin; and Wexford General Hospital. For the purposes of this study, the ‘first wave’ signifies March through to June 2020, while the ‘second wave’ signifies July through to December. A total of 225 samples were sequenced across the first and second waves – 134 during the first, and 91 during the second.
Although this is a relatively small sample size compared to the number of cases of Covid-19 reported in Ireland, it is still significant as it includes 15.2 per cent of hospitalised cases from four major hospitals in a geographical location where the majority of SARS-CoV-2 cases in Ireland have been reported.
Furthermore, the demographics of study participants broadly reflect the demographics of hospitalised Covid-19 cases in Ireland: Average age of 65; 55 per cent male; 83 per cent Caucasian; more than 80 per cent with an underlying condition; and an overall mortality rate of 10.6 per cent. The study also included a wide geographical spread: Samples were collected from individuals residing in 12 different counties, with 68 per cent of cases residing in Dublin, 21 per cent in Wicklow, 4 per cent in Wexford, and the remaining 7 per cent spread across Clare, Galway, Kildare, Longford, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Offaly, and Waterford.
Prof Mallon and his research team reported 26 different lineages of SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of Covid-19. Five of these lineages accounted for 81.8 per cent of cases, and just two accounted for 68.7 per cent of cases – with B.1.1.267 accounting for 33.6 per cent of cases and B.1.1 accounting for 37.4 per cent. By mid-June 2020, these SARS-CoV-2 variants were no longer detected in this cohort. This drop in detection coincided with the decline in reported cases nationally that accompanied the country-wide lockdown (falling as low as three new cases a day).
From July onwards, which for the purpose of this study is defined as the second wave, 91 SARS-CoV-2 samples were sequenced from the four hospitals. The predominant lineage reported this time was B.1.177, a variant that originated in Spain in early March 2020. This lineage was first reported in Ireland on 10 September, and overall, it accounted for 82.4 per cent of cohort cases in the second wave. Using the database GISAID, it was concluded that this B.1.177 variant was introduced to Ireland multiple times from a number of European countries, with a particular emphasis on the United Kingdom.
Although the B.1.1.7 variant of concern, originating in Kent in the United Kingdom, was detected in only three of the sequenced samples from the second wave, all of these samples were collected in the 10 days leading up to 27 December and comprised 15 per cent of all samples sequenced during this timeframe. This variant was first identified in the cohort on 17 December from a patient with symptoms dating back to 10 December. The final sample in this study was collected at the end of December, and it is likely that as further data is collected, the significance of the B.1.1.7 variant may become more evident.
A key finding of this study was that none of the common SARS-CoV-2 viral lineages that were detected during the first wave of Covid-19 in Ireland re-emerged during the second wave, apart from a single case of the B.1.1.70 variant collected on 21 December. Significantly, the B.1.1.267 variant of SARS-CoV-2, which according to the PANGOLIN lineage website has only been identified in Ireland, has not re-emerged since the first wave. This variant evolved within Ireland during the first wave and did not spread outside of Ireland.
As Prof Mallon’s study did not find a reappearance of this SARS-CoV-2 lineage during the second Covid-19 wave, it suggests that the B.1.1.267 lineage of SARS-CoV-2 no longer exists and was eradicated during the first lockdown. This demonstrates the importance, relevance, and effectiveness of lockdowns alongside the control of international travel, particularly in light of the number of new SARS-CoV-2 variants of potential concern currently emerging around the globe.
This was the first study in Ireland that looked at the genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 in the context of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as lockdowns, and alongside clinically relevant data. It was also one of the first studies of this kind to be carried out in Europe.
Consequence of travel
In conclusion, this study shows that the first wave in Ireland was characterised by a larger number of distinct lineages, originating from continental Europe and within Ireland itself. With the first lockdown, these lineages disappeared from SARS-CoV-2 infections contributing to hospitalisation among participating hospitals. The second wave was derived from viral genetic lineages that originated outside of Ireland and were not found in the first wave. This suggests that there were multiple introductions of SARS-CoV-2 through travel during the summer of 2020, and these lineages then spread throughout the population.
Lineages that had been recorded during the first wave were not observed during the second wave, apart from a single case. This suggests that the second wave was not an inevitable residual wave originating from the initial first wave, but a second wave in its own right, originating in the same manner as the first wave did, through importation of SARS-CoV-2 from different countries.
If the second wave had been derived from the first wave, it would have mirrored the lineages found within the first wave. These data suggest that the first lockdown may have largely eradicated these commonly reported lineages from the circulating pool of transmitting viruses contributing to hospitalisations in south-east Ireland.
The second wave of infections resulting in hospitalisations were largely seeded by multiple travel-related events from countries outside the island of Ireland. With hindsight, this suggests that strict control of incoming international travel (eg, compulsory quarantine) could have significantly altered the pattern of the pandemic in Ireland.

Zarif Mahmud : Although Bangladesh is not responsible for climate change, the country is facing losses equivalent to $4.5 billion to $5 billion every year. Despite the limited resources, various ministries and departments of the Bangladesh government are adopting and implementing various plans to combat and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Speakers gave this information in an exchange meeting at PKSF building in Agargaon.
Chairman of PKSF Dr. M. Chaired by Khairul Hossain, BRAC University Emeritus Professor Dr. Ainun Nishat, PKSF Managing Director Dr. Namita Halder NDC. PKSF Deputy Managing Director Dr. Fazle Rabbi Sadek Ahmad attended the program and spoke.
Dr. M. Khairul Hossain said that the Bangladesh government has formulated the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan, National Adaptation Plan and National Adaptation Program of Action without looking at the outside world to deal with the growing effects of climate change and the implementation of these is underway.
In recognition of such bold and effective initiatives, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was awarded the ‘Asia Climate Mobility Champion Leader Award’ at the COP-28 conference, which is undoubtedly a matter of pride for Bangladesh. Dr. Ainun Nishat emphasized on conducting environmental survey before undertaking any infrastructural development project.
He urged Bangladesh to start preparations now to find new international partners in international climate negotiations after transition from LDC. He said that in recent years, biodiversity and food grain production have been threatened due to changes in the course and timing of monsoons.
Emphasizing on adaptation, mitigation, financing and capacity building to deal with climate change, he said that wind power production can be undertaken by installing wind turbines in coastal areas as a source of renewable energy in Bangladesh.
PKSF managing director said in the opening speech. Namita Halder NDC said that PKSF is conducting various activities to protect the poor and ultra-poor communities who are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In recognition of the efficiency and transparency of these works, PKSF has already been recognized as an accredited entity of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and Adaptation Fund under the United Nations. He expressed hope that PKSF will get financing in this sector in the future from the ‘Loss and Damage’ fund promised in COP-28.

Here’s the email that went out today from Habib Balian, the CEO of the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority, the independent agency that is overseeing the building of the 11.5-mile light rail line from the current Gold Line terminus in Pasadena to the Azusa/Glendora border.
The Foothill Extension is funded by Measure R, the half-cent sales tax increase approved by Los Angeles County voters in 2008. When the line is complete, the Construction Authority will turn it over to Metro, which will operate the line.
Here is Habib’s email:
This morning, the Construction Authority received proposals for the Pasadena to Azusa Foothill Extension Phase 2A Alignment contract. This is a major milestone in our process to select a design-builder to complete final design and construction of the 11.5 miles of track, stations, crossings, systems, maintenance facility, and more.
The three proposals were all in by 9:00 a.m. this morning, hours ahead of the deadline. Each proposal will now go through a significant evaluation process, including review by multiple technical evaluation committees.
Proposals will be evaluated on a number of criteria, and will result in an award to the team providing the “best value.” This methodology assures the Authority will hire the team that not only provides an efficiently-priced bid, but also proposes the best personnel and processes for delivering a high-quality project on time and on budget.
We feel confident that the three teams competing for the work each afford world-class experience and know-how. It will certainly make selecting a winner challenging. But that is exactly what we want for such a significant regional project.
As a reminder, the three design-build teams short-listed last year are (in alpha order): (1) Foothill Transit Constructors, a Kiewit-Parsons Joint Venture; (2) Shimmick/URS/Stacy and Witbeck Joint Venture; and (3) Skanska/Balfour Beatty Joint Venture.
I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress, as we move closer to April’s planned contract award and start of work on this highly anticipated project.


New Maharashtra CM, deputy CM Fadnavis hold their first cabinet meeting
Geetanjali Minhas | July 1, 2022 | Mumbai
Former Maharashtra chief minister Davendra Fadnavis stunned all at a press conference Thursday and named Eknath Shinde, the rebel MLA from Shiv Sena, as the next chief minister. Though Fadnavis said he would stay out of the government, a few hours later the BJP leadership announced he would be the deputy chief minister.
“BJP’s central leadership has decided that Devendra Fadnavis should become a part of the government. So, we made a personal request to him and the central leadership has said that Fadnvais should take charge as deputy CM of Maharashtra,” BJP national president JP Nadda announced.
Later, at 7.30 pm, Shinde took the oath as chief minister and Fadnavis took the oath as deputy chief minister. Immediately after the swearing-in ceremony, Shinde replaced his profile picture on his Twitter handle with that of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, sending out the message of positioning himself as the heir to the Hindutva and Maratha icon.
Two and half years after the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) came to power, it fell this week after the rebellion led by Eknath Shambhaji Shinde, who has taken control of Maharashtra with the BJP’s support. This development has ignited a fight to claim the legacy of Shiv Sena. The Shinde faction has declared in the Supreme Court that it is the real Sena. He has claimed that Uddhav Thackeray by forming an “unnatural alliance” with the NCP and the Congress has diluted the Hindutva ideology of Bal Thackeray.
At the press conference, Shinde said that the decision taken by him and other MLAs is to stay committed to Balasaheb's Hindutva and for the development work in their constituencies.
“We have 50 MLAs with us,” Shinde said. Thanking prime minister Narendra Modi, Fadnavis and other BJP leaders, he said, “It is their magnanimity. They had a bigger mandate; yet they made me the chief minister. Who does that?”
The Shinde camp has been saying that it was ideology and not expectations of plum postings with cabinet portfolios that led them to break off from the Thackerays and go with BJP.
Immediately after the oath-taking ceremony, in their first cabinet meeting, Shinde and Fadnavis overturned the Thackeray government’s decision of moving Metro 3 car shed out of Aarey in Mumbai. Fadnavis asked the bureaucrats if the courts could be apprised through the advocate general that the car shed could be built at Aarey itself. The move was seconded by Shinde. Fadnavis directed the urban development department officials to bring a proposal for building the car shed at Aarey before the cabinet.
Fadnavis also said that the 33-km underground Metro project between Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ was stuck because of a legal wrangle over the Kanjurmarg plot where the MVA government had proposed to build the car shed.
A special session of the state assembly will be held on July 2-3 and the election for the post of the speaker – lying vacant since Nana Patole’s resignation – will be completed.
Earlier in the day, in an interview to a TV channel, Yuva Sena president Aditya Thackeray said his father, Uddhav Thackeray, was betrayed by his own people. “We did have an idea about a couple of people’s ambitions and they were also offered the posts they wanted a month before this drama started. The person who started the rebellion (Shinde) was given a department that no CM has parted with in the last 33 years.
“My father is not hungry for power. He walked out of Varsha (the CM residence) the moment the banner of rebellion was raised. He is dignified, graceful, clean and loyal to his words. The traitors took advantage of the situation when the chief minister had a medical surgery and in isolation.”
Aditya said that his father did not physically meet anyone for a one and half month starting from November because he underwent two surgeries. However, he added that there was not even a single party meeting that he missed and made use of technology to continue his work.
Asked about BJP and Shinde’s claims of deviating from the basic ideology of Hindutva as being an important reason for the faction breaking away, Aditya said, “Their idea of Hindutva is very different from Balasaheb Thackeray’s or the party president’s idea of it.”
Prime minister Narendra Modi said that the Supreme Court’s verdict on the abrogation of Article 370 is historic and constitutionally upholds the decision taken by the Parliament of India on 5th August 2019. Modi also said that the court, in its profound wisdom, has fortified the very

Omaha (KPTM) - Nearly 3000 pounds of prescription drugs were collected at several "take back" events throughout the Omaha Metro over the weekend. Anyone who wanted to safely discard unwanted prescription drugs could do so at drug stores. The event, the second of 2013, was sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency with ten different area law enforcement agencies assisting.
One Omaha family is thankful for the events.
"I thought he was asleep and I poked him in his side and there was no response. There was no heartbeat," said David Hayes whose teenage son Dillon died after taking prescription drugs.
"On his phone, he was texting that night. Some kid at school gave him prescription pills to so called chill him out. He was reaching out to them, texting them saying there was something wrong and asking if he could overdose on the pills. They said no, there is nothing wrong and those kids basically turned their backs on him and left him to die," said Hayes.
He then founded "Dillon's House," a charity that spreads information on the importance of staying away from unprescribed prescription drugs.
"Seeing what was outside in the vans was impressive," said Hayes who was at the take back event at the 180th and Pacific HyVee. "People are getting rid of prescription drugs and getting them out of their medicine cabinets and not having them accessible to kids."
His message to anyone who wants to hear it is simple.
"I want to inform people about the dangers of prescription drugs. Every 14 minutes we lose a child to prescription drugs, so we are trying to turn those statistics around."

In an interview published in a leading Russian newspaper, the U.S. ambassador to Moscow has warned Moscow that a "no" vote against a second United Nations resolution allowing war against Iraq will do extensive damage to U.S.-Russian relations. The U.S. envoy said budding economic cooperation could be especially hard-hit.
Prague, 13 March 2003 (RFE/RL) -- U.S. Ambassador to Russia Alexander Vershbow could hardly have been more explicit. In an interview published in yesterday's Moscow edition of the newspaper "Izvestiya," which was reprinted in today's national issue, Vershbow said Russia's leadership faced a clear choice: either say "yes" or abstain from voting on a second United Nations resolution allowing war against Iraq or face an immediate deterioration of ties with the United States.
Vershbow held out the promise of increased U.S. investment in the energy sector and said the United States was considering a new partnership with Russia in space, following the United States' loss of the space shuttle "Columbia." He added that Russia's relationship with NATO is beginning to yield positive results and could improve further.
But Vershbow said all these projects would be harmed if Russia vetoes a U.S.-backed UN resolution against Iraq. Vershbow said this would be a "great pity," but he left no doubt that bilateral ties across the board will suffer if Moscow chooses to go against the United States on this key issue. Vershbow said that "Russia should carefully weigh the consequences" of how it votes.
Vershbow's uncharacteristically blunt language has analysts questioning whether delivering what amounts to an ultimatum through the media will have the effect Washington desires. The interview comes days after Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said Moscow would vote against any UN resolution paving the way for war against Iraq.
Ivanov, speaking today in Dushanbe, rebuffed Vershbow. He said any attempt to link the Russian position on Iraq with bilateral relations between Russia and the United States was "unjustified."
RFE/RL spoke to Sergei Markov, a top adviser to former Russian President Boris Yeltsin, who currently heads the pro-Kremlin Institute for Political Studies, for his views on how Vershbow's words are being received in Moscow.
Markov said he believes the U.S. ambassador spoke on behalf of the U.S. State Department and administration as a whole, and he noted that the message Vershbow delivered is consistent with what Moscow sees as the prevailing attitude in Washington. "This comes out of the general U.S. philosophy that Russia is weak, Russia is in the United States' pocket, and if, for some reason, it strays from the path, it has to be pressured harshly," Markov said.
To Markov, the "Izvestiya" interview is the latest in a series of diplomatic gaffes by the United States that he said will only end up hurting Washington's longer-term foreign-policy interests. "Without a doubt, this is a huge mistake. But one has to say that American diplomacy, as a whole, not only that led by [Secretary of State] Colin Powell, has committed a multitude of the most serious mistakes. The image of the United States in the world at present, one has to say, is dreadful. And the United States is falling into a type of isolation. I would call it the trap of leadership. The war in Iraq is being unleashed in order to preserve the leadership of the United States. But since most countries and public opinion are opposed, we see that this war is undercutting the basis for the United States' global leadership," Markov said.
Nicholas Redman, Russia analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit in London, is less categorical than Markov in his assessment of U.S. policy. He said Washington is simply pushing all the buttons at its disposal in a last-minute attempt to swing the UN Security Council vote in its favor. But he agreed that attempting to bully Russia into agreement, or at least keeping silent, is likely to be counterproductive. "I think the U.S. is in a position where it has to push for a resolution now, and so it is pushing hard. This may not be productive, but this is all they have right now," Redman said.
Following the terrorist attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001, Russian President Vladimir Putin made the strategic decision of aligning himself with the United States. But the Russian leader has come under increasing criticism at home for his policy, and observers say Vershbow's words will only provide further ammunition to the anti-U.S. camp in Russia.
The U.S. ambassador's appeal to Russia's economic interests is also likely to ring hollow. In reality, thanks to its exports of oil and gas, Russia does five times more trade with countries of the European Union than with the United States. According to Redman, visions of massive energy exports to the United States are pie in the sky for now. "The bulk of energy exports, the bulk of oil exports -- non-CIS exports -- certainly are going to Europe. Oil trade with the U.S. is negligible. It's a PR exercise. It makes no economic sense at the moment," Redman said.
When it comes to economics, Markov noted that Germany -- the most dovish country in Europe on the Iraq issue -- is in fact Russia's biggest trade partner. "From an economic point of view, the United States is an insignificant partner for Russia, and Germany is its main partner. America is interested in Russia as a geopolitical, strategic partner -- a partner in the war against terrorism and a leader that can help Russia out of the relative isolation it remains in to this day. But from the point of view of economics, the U.S. is an insignificant partner," Markov said.
Recently, U.S. President George W. Bush has come out in favor of repealing the Jackson-Vanik amendment, a Cold War-era law that links Russia's trade privileges to its policies on Jewish emigration. But Markov said that Russians find Bush's words to be little more than further proof of Washington's condescending attitude. "The elimination of the Jackson-Vanik amendment is linked to the U.S. Congress's point of view, that this is a huge gift to Russia. But from our point of view, the very existence of Jackson-Vanik is a shocking disgrace for the American political elite, which, 15 years after limits on Jewish emigration were lifted, continues to trade on this issue in a manner that is unseemly and unconscionable."
The crisis over Iraq has already revealed deep rifts between the United States and many of its European allies. Now, as both sides retreat to hard-line positions, the new partnership between the United States and Russia forged in the wake of 11 September appears imperiled as well.


After their loss last year, Republicans are grappling over what to do next -- and when it comes to foreign policy, small-government conservatives worried about debt are squaring off against big-military conservatives fearful of defense cuts. Fortunately, the GOP does not need a total makeover; what it needs is a renegotiated modus vivendi between the two competing camps, each of which has valuable things to teach the other.
This public law (H.R. 325) was approved on February 4, 2013, and states that if Congress does not agree to a concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2014, Congress will not be compensated until they do agree to a budget resolution.
Shannon K. O'Neil says after Republicans' election-year drubbing, the United States has an historic opportunity to fix its broken immigration system. And the arguments against reform simply don't hold up anymore.
Julia E. Sweig says the recent "fiscal cliff" deal marks the end of the grand bargain, and "the new normal in Washington is one of hyper partisanship, in which the Republicans have learned that if they wait long enough the Democrats will soften at the end of negotiations."
After coming to a slow crawl on the fiscal deal, this Congress will leave a legacy of the fewest enacted laws than any since 1947; Jonathan Allen writes that the best the 112th Congress has been able to do is "avert the worst."
"To gun control advocates, the opposition is out of touch with the times, misinterprets the Second Amendment, and is lacking in concern for the problems of crime and violence. To gun control opponents, advocates are naive in their faith in the power of regulation to solve social problems, bent on disarming the American citizen for ideological or social reasons, and moved by irrational hostility toward firearms and gun enthusiasts."
Americans want to see Congress and the president make a deal on the "fiscal cliff," but the incentives are strongest for policymakers to act only after the cliff has come and gone—and wreaked a great deal of havoc in the process, says Gayle Tzemach Lemmon.
The primary political parties in Mexico negotiated these accords to create congressional consensus and move forward on reforms in the areas of civil rights, economics, security, and governance. The original pact was signed on December 2, 2012, and a fourth political party joined on January 28, 2013.
Micah Zenko says, "Like Dick Cheney 21 years ago, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has engaged in an exhaustive effort to avoid both sequestration and any further reductions in the Pentagon's budget. The distinction between Panetta and his predecessors, however, is in the tactics he has employed to protect his bureaucratic turf."
Joseph Lieberman's retirement will impact the clout of the bipartisan trio, which included Senators Lieberman, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham, that once dominated congressional debate on foreign policy, says the New York Times.
Gregory Bovt writes that Russia is a low priority on the list of foreign policy issues for both Democratic and Republican candidates and advises avoiding excessive anti-Russian or anti-U.S. rhetoric from both sides.
The Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court's decision to dissolve parliament has "thrown Egypt into turmoil once again," threatening the upcoming presidential election runoff and the hopes of the country's sixteen-month-old revolution, says CFR's Steven A. Cook.

CHECHEM HA CAVE
Located beyond the towns of Cayo and high into the lush primary growth jungle of the Vaca Plateau is Chechem Ha Cave (“Cave of the Poisonwood Tree”). Discovered by the local land owners and their hunting dog a number of years ago, this cave is a sacred Maya burial site containing artifacts that date back two millennia. A variety of ancient pots and a carved stela used for ceremonial purposes can be viewed up close, and visitors are surprised by the final chamber of the cave which opens into a cathedral-like cavern where Mayan ceremonies were once held. This cave rivals ATM, but without the water element.
Drive Time From Table Rock: 1 hour
Adventure Level: Strenuous. To examine some of the pottery you’ll have to climb ladders and hold onto ropes, and getting to the cave entrance requires a scenic, yet mildly challenging, 35-minute hike through the jungle.
Available as a ½ Day Tour or as a Full Day package with Xunantunich Ruins.

ABSTRACT. The hover fly fauna of the taiga zone of Central Siberia was studied for the first time. 169 species belonging to 55 genera of three subfamilies were collected from the territory of Tsentral’nosibirskij Reserve in Krasnoyarskii Krai, Russia. In contrast to the fauna of tundra zone which is dominated by species of the subfamily Syrphinae, the fauna of the studied taiga area differs in its high number of subfamily Eristalinae taxa (97 species of 31 genera). The subfamily Syrphinae is represented here by 65 species of 20 genera, and the subfamily Pipizinae by 7 species of 4 genera. Representatives of the subfamily Microdontinae were absent in the studied territory. The unusually high species diversity of the subfamily Eristalinae can be explained by the large number of species whose larvae are associated with arboreal vegetation; furthermore, the large number of small, organic-rich water bodies in a studied area dictates their presence of the richest genus in the Palaearctic, namely Cheilosia, 17 species of which were found in the Reserve, a significantly higher number than in the tundra zone. The proposed list of Syrphidae species is not exhaustive due to the early onset of the summer, 2016. The status of the subgenus Knutsonia Barkalov, 2012 of the genus Sphaerophoria Le Peletier et Serville, 1828 is renamed as Knutsoniana Barkalov et Mutin, nom.n.
KEY WORDS: syrphids, Syrphidae, Central Siberia, taiga, Enisei Region, list of species.

Electronic Development of Long Term Passive Acoustic Monitoring Devices
The Australian Antarctic Division has developed low power electronics to receive and record continuous, long term, acoustic data sets in the southern ocean. The device discussed includes custom electronics to implement signal conditioning, digital to analogue conversion and data storage.
The difficulty of accessing deployment sites in the Southern Ocean has led to the need for long term recordings, which has previously been solved through heavily duty-cycling recording systems. The design presented uses an array of commercial, flash RAM based, digital storage cards to provide an inexpensive, low power way of recording the large amounts of data necessary. Custom acquisition electronics allow further reduction in power consumption, minimising the mass and size of the batteries required to collect this data. Smaller, lighter batteries ease design requirements on enclosures and moorings.
The first deployment of the recorders occurred in 2012, and since then a total of 13 deployments have occurred with 8 successful recoveries, 1 lost at sea and 4 devices currently deployed. Future enhancements to the electronics will be discussed including a move to multiple channels, simpler architecture, and further reductions in size, cost and power consumption.

The mastery of the hook-up given that the preeminent intimate script has consequences for many small adults—even those people that dont go after hook-ups themselves. Over and over, the audience is instructed that real relationships is often casual and fun, mainly because they have only the meaning that many of us ascribe in their eyes. Setting try stripped from many different intimate phrase; actually widely used text shed their own therefore. A hook-up, for example, can consist of all from straightforward kissing, to petting, to entrance, to various other pursuits constrained merely by teen imagination. Exactly what anybody might be expecting in a hook-up or an intimate partnership will differ drastically individually.
This selection of unclear and variable sexual desires encounter perilously with the carte blanche fond of younger United states people. After all, kids might be children should go outrageous. The egotistical individualism forecast among teenagers and teenagers confides in us hookupdates.net/ChristianMingle-review official website to not ever just take “no”for a response. Respect for designs of erectile integrity—the concept that gender may well by its type imply some thing much more than a game—has missing from screen. With-it has gone esteem when it comes to very notion of boundaries.
Especially those with a rigorous rule of intimate integrity have the ability to more boundaries to become crossed. His or her plight was intensified by our personal tradition’s habit of conflate sexual continence with repression. At the most useful, we are now informed that a chaste diet could be possible for the superhuman or abnormally spiritual, however for its normal institution child. At the worst, this frame of mind leads to a disdain for erectile borders as backward, misogynistic, and dangerous—or basically stupid and unworthy of esteem.
We know two young women with just about the same stories. These ladies arranged perspectives on sex that had been therefore laughable to their peers that within one situation one of these pushed themselves upon the girl (plus one other pressured this model to touch him or her inappropriately) in order to corroborate a place. In neither instance was any respect revealed for the consequences the young people would face for the aftermath of these a private breach. Whenever challenged eventually in regards to the disturbance, each young man would disregard the breach and chaos from inside the wake with the harm because of the woman’s “prudish”views about gender, compared to by his knowingly creating entered a person’s the majority of personal restrictions. As soon as this was brought to light, in cases the city rallied around your as an alternative.
Agree Doesn’t manage
You finished only some in years past, and every one men and women requires both of your hands to depend the volume of buddies who were intimately broken in college—and those are merely those we all know regarding. These aren’t men and women we all wanted due to their traumas or folks who invited any kind of hassle: in the course of what would or else feel typical university existence, people and organizations they trustworthy betrayed these people within the most uncomfortable tactics conceivable. As often as not just, the abusive situations didn’t feature alcoholic drinks, and additionally they took place common spots normally such as the dark-colored edges of fraternity knock places. To our expertise, not merely one regarding assailants has confronted any type of lawful or disciplinary repercussions, and barely any bring struggled any societal fallout—even as soon as publicly implicated.
Why, after that, once college or university administrations accomplish a lot to-drive room the idea of “consent,” carry out students manage never to obtain the communication? Since they see within the start that consent—as truly at this time conceived—doesn’t seem sensible. Off one part inside lips, managers accept the alcohol-fueled hook-up taste with a proverbial shrug with the arms, and outside of the other part determine youngsters that any booze make use of negates the chance of agree. From this standards, all sex presented by consumption of alcohol happens to be, in many feel, erectile strike. Any college freshman understands that it just does not add up to say that any alcohol-infused party carpet make-out treatment might be labeled as assault—at smallest perhaps not after the provides power to that be is motivating all sorts of sexual manifestation. The standard is viewed as inconsistent and absurd, therefore it brings shrugged switched off.
While beer is definitely implicated in many cases of sex-related assault, it is only a driver in something previously primed for strike. On an university just where excessive ingesting was typical even so the hook-up had not been the dominating kind sexual conversation, intimate assault would both be a lot more straightforward to steer clear of and far harder to dedicate.
Fortunately, undoubtedly much that college students and institution staff and directors can do to enhance university norms off from abetting strike and towards starting a much safer and far healthier surroundings during kids can thrive. It is the matter in our further composition, that are posted the next day.
To bearing an actual change in behaviors, colleges should never best affect the communications the two…

Concluding the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015
At the 28th International Steering Committee (ISC) meeting of the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Decade was officially closed. Ms Semiha Borovac, Minister of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ms Milanka Opacic, Deputy Prime Minister of Social Policy and Youth of Croatia opened the meeting with a retrospective of the actions taken by their governments to include Roma and with an overview of their key achievements. Next were statements by representatives of some key international partners in the Decade: the United States (as observer), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the Open Society Foundations and the World Bank (Decade founders) and the Regional Cooperation Council. All of these statements noted the importance of the Decade in laying the grounds for Roma inclusion and setting the most important principles of such efforts, as well as the need to do more until the ambitious goal of the Decade is achieved. Decade partners expressed readiness to continue the efforts towards this goal, support future initiatives committed to Roma inclusion and meaningfully involve Roma communities.
Roma civil society organizations, represented by the Decade Focal Points’ delegates at the meeting, presented their Declaration by which they committed to continue their efforts toward full inclusion of Roma and monitoring and assessment of the governments’ performance towards this aim, and called upon their governments and the European Commission to launch a new Decade of Roma Inclusion, develop relevant policies, programs and strategies, allocate sufficient resources, implement those policies and meaningfully involve Roma in those processes.
Responding to the pledges to continue the processes of Roma inclusion initiated by the Decade, Ms Salla Saastamoinen, Director for Equality at the Directorate-General of Justice and Consumers of the European Commission and Mr Goran Svilanovic, Secretary General of the Regional Cooperation Council, committed to pursue further the implementation of the European Union Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies up to 2020 (EU Framework) both in the European Union Member States and in the enlargement countries. The implementation of the EU Framework is already ongoing in the EU Member States and new measures are being introduced to improve the participation of Roma civil society in the process. , the involvement and cooperation of the enlargement countries on the issue of Roma inclusion is planned through the project Roma Integration 2020 that should start in 2016 under the leadership of the Regional Cooperation Council and with the support of the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations of the European Commission and the Open Society Foundations. Both these processes are taking over the most important legacy of the Decade, including its goals and priorities and its principles of implementing official national policies, measuring and reporting on achievements and participation of Roma.
The 28th International Steering Committee meeting featured lively debate with government and civil society representatives on the progress made in the past year, but also the main challenges and successes of the Decade as a whole. Two reports reflecting the achievements and shortcomings of the Decade were launched by the Decade Secretariat at this meeting. The Roma Inclusion Index 2015 presented a quantitative overview of the trends and the situation in Roma inclusion, while A Lost Decade? provided qualitative reflection on the whole process of the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015.. All information about the Decade, including the conclusions and documents of the previous debate within the Decade on its future and legacy will remain available to inform future initiatives on its website. With the launch of Roma Integration 2020 in 2016, the Decade website will be merged into a new website maintained by the Regional Cooperation Council.
Please find below links to documents related to the debates on the future of the Decade initiative.

If you are looking for the best Saturday hang out spots for Botswana youths, you can do better than political party conventions. These are no places for sagging baggy pants and exposed belly buttons. Besides “yoo man you are da bomb” does not exactly cut it as politicalspeak.
You would wonder what chubby faces mostly from Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) middle class families, dressed out in “BMD ROCKS” T-shirts could be doing in the hustle and bustle of the opposition Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) convention, but there is a good chance that they could be scrambling for membership cards.
Two months after a group of disgruntled BDP members set out on an improbable journey, announcing the formation of a new party, the political passions that they have stirred were finally bursting into light at the party’s convention held on Saturday at Letlhabile Primary School.
The new party has taken a direct line in search of youths who for a long time have been disengaged from the formal political system. The image of university students in sagging baggy pants and exposed belly buttons chanting anti-establishment slogans and waving homemade placards have always been met by an impatient wave of the hand from the political leadership. The youth on the other hand tended to vote in larger numbers on Big Brother eviction nights that on polling day.
For the first time, Botswana seems to have a party with the cool factor and groovy enough to appeal to youngsters. The BMD is pioneering the use of websites to recruit new members marking a leap forward in the evolution of Botswana politics in the information age. Batswana youths can “friend” Gomolemo Motswaledi, Botsalo Ntuane or other BMD leaders on Facebook. This is part of a campaign to shake Botswana’s young middle classes out of their political apathy.
The party has created a group which attracts new members through the Facebook social networking platform. The party membership forms have boxes for members social networking site addresses among them Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Skype.
Most people who could not attend the Saturday convention were able to view it life on the internet via Skype. New members can join the BMD through the party website. The site provides the members with an opportunity to have a discussion on issues of interest. This is the most interactive use of the internet for politics that Botswana has seen to date.
The youth vote is expected to be the most contested area among Botswana opposition parties in the 2014 general elections. The Botswana National Front (BNF) presidential candidate Duma Boko is campaigning on the ticket of appeal to youths in his contest against Olebile Gaborone, the current party Vice President.
The Botswana Congress Party is hoping that the youthful Dumelang Saleshando will be a hot ticket among Batswana youths come 2014. Saleshando is strongly tipped to replace his father as BCP president.

Ty Dolla $ign is facing serious jail time after being charged with two Felony Drug Charges. The singer has been indicted by a grand jury and is looking at up to 15 years in Fulton County, Georgia prison. He is being charged with possession of cocaine, a Schedule 1 controlled substance, and a misdemeanor charge for less than an ounce of marijuana.
The incident stems from a September 5th traffic stop along with Skrillex and five others. Police dogs were called after marijuana smoke was detected in the vehicle. Ty Dolla $ign was the only one charged with an offense. A rep for Ty had this to say:
‘Ty maintains his innocence and there is no indication to the contrary. It’s also very important to note that Ty’s jewelry and cash seized from him upon his arrest in September 2018 was ordered returned to him last week… another clear sign that this matter is coming to a close soon.’

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its labor market report for July on Friday that delivered some surprising numbers. The biggest shock was 528,000 jobs gained, which was more than double compared to the 250,000 experts predicted.
The massive job gains have brought down the unemployment rate to 3.5%, returning the job market to its pre-pandemic levels. This jobless rate was last season in February 2020, when it marked the lowest point in almost 50 years.
Among other bits of info, the Bureau of Labor Statistics report also showed that Americans are earning 0.5% more per hour compared to an estimated 0.4%. Also, hourly earnings increased 5.2% year over year.
These numbers have caught experts by surprise as the Fed’s interest rate hikes and surging inflation were expected to cool off the U.S. labor market. However, it appears that the layoffs and job cuts mainly targeted the tech industry, with the service industry ramping up its hiring due to increased customer demand. A big part of the process was also businesses hiring back the employees they laid off during the pandemic.
Analysts now believe that these numbers will make the Fed even more aggressive with increasing interest rates. The committee is set to meet again in September when it might bump up the rates by another 0.7% points. This would be the third hike in the same range since June.

Roberto Mancini says Manchester City's title win was "fantastic for the club and supporters after 44 years".
The Citizens clinched the Premier League title after a nail-biting 3-2 victory over Queens Park Rangers at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Manchester United looked like they were going to win their 20th title as City were still 2-1 down after 90 minutes, but were saved by two late goals from Bosnian Edin Dzeko and Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero in the fourth minute of injury-time.
The Italian explained how his side were worthy of the win: "It was incredible - they deserved this.
"To win it like this is incredible. I don't think I've ever seen a finale like this. We didn't deserve to lose, we had a lot of chances and we deserved to win the game and championship."
Mancini now hopes for more success and trophies at the club and is looking forward to a long rivalry with Sir Alex Ferguson, even though rumours of his retirement continue to circulate.
Ferguson has previously said that the rivalry between neighbours has made him feel younger than his 70 years.
"I think for us it was really important to start winning this championship, Manchester City can have a big future now," added the City manager.
Mancini is bound to already have his eye on the Champions League trophy.

The threats of extinction to uncontacted tribes in the Peruvian Amazon have turned the tribes’ plight into one of global concern, with members of the public all around the world increasingly aware of the desperate situation facing them.
More than 150 articles and interviews about Peru’s uncontacted tribes have been published or broadcast in more than 20 countries, from as far afield as the US, UK and Spain, Australia and New Zealand, to Brazil, Japan, India and China.
The tribes’ plight has been covered by some of the world’s most well-known daily newspapers, news agencies and radio stations. It has also been covered in many other kinds of publications: from Sunday newspapers to local newspapers, in-flight magazines, specialist Indigenous newspapers, and women’s magazines.
The tribes face extinction because of the oil exploration and illegal logging taking place on their land. The oil exploration is being actively permitted and promoted by the Peruvian government, while many of the loggers are after mahogany.
Uncontacted tribes are exceedingly vulnerable to any form of contact because they don’t have immunity to outsiders’ diseases. After contact, it is common for at least 50% of a tribe to die.
Survival International’s Director, Stephen Corry, said today, ‘They may be isolated, but that doesn’t mean that what is happening to Peru’s uncontacted tribes is hidden. More and more people are becoming aware of the tragic situation currently facing them and the determination of oil companies and loggers to trample over their rights and rob them of their lands. If public opinion really is a ‘superpower’ in its own right, as has been said, Peru’s government is starting to feel its might.’

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, the leading U.S. crypto exchange, accusing the company of violating federal securities law. The lawsuit comes shortly after a similar suit was filed against Binance.
According to the SEC, Coinbase has been operating as an unregistered broker, exchange, and clearing agency simultaneously. The SEC argues that Coinbase solicited customers, handled orders, allowed bids, and acted as an intermediary all at once. The lawsuit names Coinbase, Inc. and Coinbase Global, Inc. as defendants but does not specifically mention founder and CEO Brian Armstrong or any other executives. The SEC suit claims that “The Coinbase Platform merges three functions that are typically separated in traditional securities markets – those of brokers, exchanges, and clearing agencies.” It further states that Coinbase has not registered with the SEC as a broker, national securities exchange, or clearing agency, allowing the company to evade the disclosure requirements established by Congress for securities markets.
SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized in a press release that Coinbase’s blending of different functions was problematic. He stated that Coinbase’s alleged failures deprived investors of critical protections, including measures against fraud and manipulation, proper disclosure, safeguards against conflicts of interest, and routine inspection by the SEC. The SEC pointed out Coinbase’s Prime, Wallet, and staking products, as well as the tokens listed on its platform, as areas where federal securities laws were violated. The news of the lawsuit caused a decline in the entire crypto market and Coinbase’s premarket stock price.
The SEC argued that Coinbase was aware that some of the cryptocurrencies it offered to U.S. customers could be classified as securities. It referenced Coinbase’s Crypto Ratings Council effort, initiated in 2019 to create an informal system to assess whether a cryptocurrency was a security. The SEC claimed that during this period, Coinbase added crypto assets to its platform despite recognizing that they exhibited characteristics of securities, in order to achieve exponential growth and boost its own trading profits. The SEC identified several tokens, including solana (SOL), cardano (ADA), polygon (MATIC), sandbox (SAND), filecoin (FIL), Axie Infinity (AXS), Chiliz (CHZ), flow (FLOW), internet computer (ICP), near (NEAR), voyager (VGX), dash (DASH), and nexo (NEXO), as securities in the lawsuit. These tokens were available on Coinbase’s Prime or Wallet services, according to the SEC.
The lawsuit also referenced Coinbase’s public registration statement, highlighting that the company acknowledged in its risk factors section that some of the listed assets might be securities. The SEC had previously warned Coinbase about potential legal action by sending a Wells Notice, to which Coinbase responded in April.
In the current lawsuit, the SEC alleges that Coinbase violated the Exchange Act across four different counts by failing to register. It also claims that Coinbase violated the Securities Act and seeks a permanent injunction against the company to cease further violations, as well as disgorgement and civil penalties.

BANGKOK, Nov 21 – Thailand’s obsolete Air Navigation Act, enforced since 1954, will be amended to allow up to 70 per cent foreign ownership in aviation-related businesses, according to Transport Minister Chatchart Sitthiphan.
He said a draft of the new Air Navigation Act, approved yesterday by the cabinet and set for parliamentary deliberation, allows foreign companies to engage in aircraft manufacturing, maintenance and spare parts distribution.
A Thai-based company can accept up to 70 per cent foreign ownership in accord with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreement on air navigation, and foreign ownership may be increased to 100 per cent if it involves aviation business using advanced technology.
The present Air Navigation Act came into law in 1954 setting maximum foreign ownership at 49 per cent, but the act has failed to attract foreign investment to Thailand, Mr Chatchart said. He called for changing the law in accord with the coming ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015.
The government will encourage the private sector to set up an aviation industrial estate to prepare Thailand as a logistics hub for the region, he said, adding that the aviation industry will boost Thailand’s economic opportunities after the country’s success in the automotive manufacturing industry.
The transport minister said he invited Rolls-Royce, world leader in spare parts manufacturing and aircraft maintenance, to invest in Thailand during his recent trip to the United Kingdom.
He said Rolls-Royce had reservations about the Thai Board of Investment (BoI) requirement that foreign investors disclose some confidential technological information, adding that he would discuss the issue with the BoI.

South African Tourism
South African Tourism’s video-driven campaign effectively reached citizens in a time of need, resulting in a successful campaign. Between May–July 2020, the campaign achieved:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, South African Tourism wanted to foster a sense of community and provide citizens a sense of reassurance. To stay connected, the tourism agency leveraged hopeful and positive video messaging, targeted to South Africans.
The tourism agency also aimed to inspire future tourism amongst South Africans through a #ShareSouthAfrica travel program, which encouraged citizens to use the hashtag to share their personal experiences and adventures.
The MediaShop, South African Tourism’s media agency, partnered with VDX.tv to run a full video experience across desktop, mobile and instream over three months. The omnichannel approach enabled the campaign to reach as many people as possible.
The South African Tourism campaign featured two video assets: an inspirational Nelson Mandela video and an exciting tourism-centric video, both of which invited users to explore more in the creative unit. The canvas allowed customized messaging, such as “Watch Now” and “#ShareSouthAfrica” – to be promoted alongside the videos.
In an effort to support the local community, VDX.tv utilized its full network of local South African websites to reach the most relevant audiences, in turn driving revenue for local publishers in the tough times.
A CPV (Cost per View) pricing model guaranteed 100% viewability, ensuring the message was in view for a longer amount of time to create maximum impact.

Bruno Mars has undoubtedly earned a spot as one of the really loved artists in the music business and he has been eager to please crowds these last few months with the 2017 Tour. The crowds have actually been incredible thus far and there is no denying that the vibe at a Bruno Mars concert is a high as ever.
If you are a Bruno Mars concert goer you will certainly not be let down by the show at the The Forum – Los Angeles in Inglewood, California this Tuesday, November 07, 2017 at 08:00 PM, which is going to blow your mind, not simply as a result of the exceptional preparation of the event, but mostly the sound and vibe are things you will surely enjoy when you share the hall with a truly music loving crowd.

All reviews of this performance are mostly positive and the place is undoubtedly the most suitable you can ever go to for an event of this kind.
Bruno Mars has truly delivered several unforgettable performances consistently in the United States and worldwide, yet this year’s tour promises to be something unique as evidenced by the sold-out shows.

The nurse walked in and 15 year of 2005 2020 Barca Lionel Messi thank you for the memories shirt my dad locked eyes with her “This is Deb. She’s the smartest person I’ve ever met and the only woman I’ve ever loved. I want to give her medical power of attorney. Get the papers. Hurry. Please. Get the papers.” Realizing that he hadn’t asked, he turned back to my mom “Please. I know I don’t deserve it, I know I’ve been horrible to you. I’m so sorry. I’m so so sorry Deb. Please, I can’t, she won’t, I don’t. Please. I’m afraid and I don’t have anyone else I trust.” We stayed and talked to him for awhile, then I borrowed my mom’s iPad and went to the cafeteria to let them talk alone. We said goodbye that night and got on a plane home.

My mom went back out, once a 15 year of 2005 2020 Barca Lionel Messi thank you for the memories shirt week, to check on him. That was the last time I saw my father, dead or alive. I didn’t go out for the funeral I didn’t really see the point. One of the monsters of my childhood was slain that day in the hospital. I could no longer summon hate, anger or fear for my father. I only had pity left. Pity for the man so afraid to face his demons that he lived a miserable life and died a lonely death. The fear my father inspires in me is much different now. I’m terrified of ending up like him. I will not regret my life because I was too afraid to live it.

States take up where Congress left off
Momentum grows to require job eligibility checks
- By Wilson P. Dizard III
- Jul 12, 2007
Several state legislatures have passed various forms of legislation that would require employers to use the Homeland Security Department's Electronic Employment Eligibility Verification System. Many more are considering bills during their current sessions that would have the same effect. Others have done nothing ' and in one case, in Florida, a bill requiring employers to use EEEVS died in committee.
The state bills vary widely. The most draconian legislation, now pending in the Missouri legislature, would prohibit landlords from renting dwellings to illegal aliens.
Violators of that provision would lose their rental licenses and occupancy permits. The Missouri bill would require employers to use EEEVS and allow local governments to deny business licenses to companies that employ unlawful workers.
More typical variants of the state EEEVS legislation require state agencies and organizations that receive state funds to use the federal system. Another, signed recently by Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, mandates a phased introduction of an EEEVS requirement for all employers, starting with the largest companies.
Some states' labor laws already forbid the employment of illegal workers by state contractors, as in the case of Louisiana. In a similar vein, New Hampshire law imposes special fines on employers who are deemed to have employed illegal workers. But those laws don't specifically require use of EEEVS.
DHS' Citizenship and Immigration Services agency tracks the bills. It provided a detailed spreadsheet of their requirements from which the map above is drawn.

A few weeks ago I ran into the woman who inspired me to finally make the decision to pursue WLS. She's lost well over 100 lbs, looks great and is REALLY into Zumba. I've texted her when I've achieved what I considered significant milestones (surgery date, 50 lb loss, 100 lb loss, etc.) I thank her for her inspiration and support.
What's been rattling around in my brain and poking me since I last saw her was her reply to my news that I hit 100 lbs down. She asked if I was 'at goal weight yet?'
My goals have always been to get off all my co-morbidity conditions meds
, lower my blood pressure and avoid getting diabetes (I was on the cusp.) That said, I met my goals immediately after WLS (getting off meds), having normal bp and NO diabetes. Getting healthy was and is my priority. Smaller sizes for me are the icing on the cake (that I no longer eat :)
Numeric goals like a certain weight or having to do something physically competitive (like running a 5K) stress me out. I haven't figured out why that is yet.
I like to do things 'my way'. I'm ok with my sloooooowwwww weight loss (now 1-2 lbs/month). I'm ok with walking and occasionally jogging more and more steps. I DO count them and like see them increase, but don't have a fixed number that I HAVE to achieve.
Maybe that's why this time is different for me. Every time I achieved my 'goal weight' as defined by others (WW, dr, peers), I would freak out and gain it all back plus more.
The most memorable time for me is when I actually achieved the weight that's listed on my driver's license (160 lbs)
I spoke about it at an OA meeting, realized what I was saying and immediately began the upward gain to 300lbs.
So for now I'm focusing on today. For me, each day is
