RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A federal judge barred H&R Block, the nation's largest income tax preparer, from using misleading phrases to advertise its "Rapid Refund" loan program and ordered it to pay more than $500,000 to an upstart rival for using deceptive advertising in its refund anticipation loan program.
Block has been sued before over its advertising for refund anticipation loans, in which tax filers receive bank loans for the amount of the refund they expect to receive from the Internal Revenue Service. But the financial institutions can charge fees or interest.
U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson in Norfolk accused H&R Block of deliberately and maliciously using deceptive advertising for a no-charge, refund anticipation loan to draw customers in the Hampton Roads area just as a competing tax preparation service was launching its business there.
"We feel that this is a victory not only for Liberty Tax Service, but also for taxpayers who didn't fully understand the terms of this loan product because they weren't properly disclosed," said Lenny Holt, Liberty's chief operating officer.
Jackson ordered H&R Block to pay Liberty Tax Service $507,477, representing a portion of Block's profits in Hampton Roads in 2000.
The company said it has discontinued the product because it was not profitable.

Skidortsguide för Corvara (Alta Badia) (Corvara)
Foto credit: tourist offical
Statisk över backarna
- Acres(yta)för skidåkning:-
- Längdskidor:16.5 km
Corvara, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy, is a large resort with 19 lifts (11 chair lifts, 7 surface lifts) that offers skiers 3800 feet of vertical descent. Corvara has 38 pistes with a total length of 44 kilometers (28 miles). It is part of the Alta Badia area which has 130 km of slopes and ski resort skipass Dolomiti Superski with more than 1.100 km of slopes. Corvara is best suited to beginner skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for intermediates but little of interest for expert skiers. There are 16.5 kilometers (10 miles) of cross-country ski trails at Corvara. Over half of the pistes at Corvara are covered by snow-making. The closest airport is at Bolzano but the transfer time is 2 hours. The nearest train station to Corvara is at Brunico. There is accommodation located close to the pistes but we would welcome additional information about any hotels or chalets in Corvara. It is an ideal location to discover the very best off-piste in the Dolomites, in the very popular Sella group (from the most famous 'Val Mesdì' to the hidden and paradisiac 'Val Litres') and in the equally popular Marmolada.

Visitor Reviews of Corvara (Alta Badia)
Rob Dunston from United Kingdom writes:
Skied this area and the surrounding resorts of the Sella Ronda several times between 2014-2016 and overdue another visit.
I've skied all over the Alps in the past 35 years and have to say the Dolomites are jaw-dropingly beautiful. The skiing is pretty good too, with plenty of challenge all around the Sella Ronda and lots of cruising runs for intermediates.
The lift system is modern and impressive, though not quite as cutting edge as the big name resorts in nearby Tirol. But generally far better than the French equivalents.
The area has a well earned reputation for gourmet cuisine both on and off the mountain, with hostelries dotted all over the area which pretty much guarantee great pitstop each lunchtime.
Corvara, itself, is delightful and generally low key on the apres-ski front but there is a cracking bar at the bottom of the piste opposite the Boe Gondelbahn. Murin is more full on and rather like the big name bars in St Anton and Ischgl. If you want to party hard everyday, then neighbouring Selva is probably a better bet but the pistes are busier.
Cost wise, the value for money is excellent. Slightly cheaper than Austria. But massively cheaper than both France and Switzerland. Moreover, there is no compromise on the quality of hotels and subsistence.

The opinion of the court was delivered by: HECKMAN
On April 20, 1990, plaintiff was loading a twenty-foot length of corrugated steel pipe into a dump truck for his employer, Keeler Construction, using a tractor loader with a forklift attachment to lift the pipe. As plaintiff attempted to drop the pipe over the side of the dump truck, the pipe rolled backward over the forks, down the loader arms, and landed on top of him. Plaintiff is permanently paralyzed as a result of the injuries he received.
On October 4, 1990, plaintiff commenced an action against Varity, Inc.
in the Supreme Court, Erie County, State of New York. On February 8, 1991, all claims against Varity were discontinued and Massey-Ferguson, Inc. was substituted as the only named defendant.
The case was then removed to this court on the basis of diversity of citizenship.
The machine involved in this incident was a model MF20 tractor bearing serial number 9A93530 and equipped with an MF32 loader bucket (hereinafter "MF20 tractor loader"). It was manufactured by defendant on February 24, 1970 and was shipped to a local dealer on February 25, 1970. Keeler Construction purchased the machine on April 16, 1970. Keeler Construction owned the tractor loader for the twenty years prior to plaintiff's injuries.
Plaintiff claims that defendant is liable for plaintiff's injuries on theories of negligence, strict liability, and breach of express and implied warranties (Item 1, Ex. A). In his complaint, plaintiff alleges that the MF20 tractor was defective when it was manufactured because its design did not incorporate a roll cage and because it was sold with a forklift attachment that operated in a highly dangerous manner. Plaintiff also alleges that defendant negligently failed to warn of the tractor's dangerous condition.
On November 16, 1995, defendant moved for summary judgment. Defendant admits that plaintiff's injuries would have been avoided had the MF20 been equipped with either a rollbar, ROPS (roll over protective structure), or self-leveling device for the loader and forklift attachment (Item 51, Statement P 10).
However, defendant argues that it is entitled to summary judgment on the grounds that: (1) a manufacturer cannot be held liable for injuries caused by a product where it made optional safety equipment available and made the purchaser aware of those options, and (2) plaintiff's breach of warranty claims are time-barred.
On January 2, 1996, plaintiff's attorney filed a responding affidavit (Item 57). Essentially, plaintiff's argument is that roll over protection was required by New York law and industry standards at the time the MF20 tractor loader was manufactured in 1970, and that defendant failed to make such protection available to purchasers.
On September 10, 1996, defendant moved for an order precluding certain of plaintiff's exhibits from consideration in the motion for summary judgment on the ground that plaintiff failed to comply with a Rule 34 discovery request (Item 73).
On September 13, 1996, more than eight months after filing his affidavit in opposition to the summary judgment motion, plaintiff filed a memorandum of law in opposition to that motion and defendant's motion for order of preclusion (Item 80). Plaintiff's memorandum cites few cases and provides no analysis of the legal issues raised in defendant's motion for summary judgment.
Summary judgment is appropriate "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265, 106 S. Ct. 2548 (1986). In reaching this determination, the court must assess whether there are any material factual issues to be tried while resolving ambiguities and drawing reasonable inferences against the moving party. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248-49, 91 L. Ed. 2d 202, 106 S. Ct. 2505 (1986); Allen v. Coughlin, 64 F.3d 77, 79 (2d Cir. 1995).
The moving party has the initial burden of demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. To avoid summary judgment, the nonmoving party must then come forward with enough evidence to support a jury verdict in its favor. The nonmoving party cannot prevail "merely by vaguely asserting the existence of some unspecified disputed material facts," Borthwick v. First Georgetown Securities, Inc., 892 F.2d 178, 181 (2d Cir. 1989), or on the basis of "mere speculation or conjecture." Knight v. U.S. Fire Insurance Co., 804 F.2d 9, 12 (2d Cir. 1986) cert. denied, 480 U.S. 932, 94 L. Ed. 2d 762, 107 S. Ct. 1570 (1987). When a dispute in fact is shown to exist, it must be material in light of the substantive law. ...

For anyone who has followed FLY over the past two years, it comes as no surprise that he’s dropped yet another banger with only a moment’s notice. With little regard for traditional hype-building, Naseem Silver lets his production do the talking. And it speaks volumes.
“Flash” is the first taste of DNB that we’ve gotten from FLY this year, and it's sure to get rinsed like some dirty vegetables. Rest assured, the mysterious vibe and detailed sound design we’ve come to know and love hasn’t been lost in the depths of the atmospheric void that Silver explores in “Flash.” The mystifying bridge flows smoothly into a DNB drop, kicking the song into overdrive.
With upcoming appearances at Lightning in a Bottle, The Untz Festival, and SOL Fest, among others, you can expect to see and hear a lot more from FLY. With a growing number of eyes on him, FLY’s career is attracting fans like honey. After a surprise appearance on our stages last year with Player Dave and Eazybaked, The Untz Festival has an official slot on the books for this summer.

Dear Mr. Martin. I quote from Haaretz's article: ""Therefore I hope Israel understands all these consequences ... and they should also consider the consequences of such action for themselves," Gatilov said at a news conference." I regret that Mr. Gatilov didn't find the time to explain, in a satisfactory way, why his country (Russia) vetoed a UNSC resolution condemning the "security operations" carried out in Syria by a government who is murdering hundreds and maybe thousands of its own subjects. Russia is different from U.S.S.R. only by its composition.

Considering the recent flood of budget Android tablets with similar -- and in a few cases better -- features, Alcatel's new OneTouch Evo8 HD is a modestly specced 8-inch tablet with an overreaching $299 starting price.
The OneTouch Evo8 HD rocks an aluminum casing that comes in black or silver, ships with Android 4.2, and features a 1,024x768-pixel resolution screen. According to Alcatel it will be available in Q4 of 2013.
Despite its meek specs, the tablet garners some intrigue with a useful and unique twist on its integrated flip-cover. The optional "magic" flip-cover lights up with specific symbols when new e-mails, tweets, or other notifications are received. Technically, they're LED integrated patterns -- but I agree that "magic flip-cover" sounds more exciting than "LED integrated pattern flip-cover."
On the inside of the OneTouch Evo8 HD you'll find more demure specs, including a 1.6GHz dual-core CPU and 1GB of RAM. It has a meager 4GB of internal storage, but fortunately houses a microSD card expansion slot that supports up to 64GB.
Design-wise, the tablet follows the increasingly popular 8-inch tablet form factor, but its seemingly thick top and bottom bezels make it resemble the 7-inch Google Nexus 7 more than the 8-inch Apple iPad Mini -- currently the two most popular small tablets. Its dimensions, including its 0.35-inch thickness and 0.91-pound weight, make it pretty average-size for its category.
The OneTouch Evo8 HD is 3G and 4G LTE compatible -- with available removable modules -- and has Bluetooth 3.0 capabilities. The tablet also packs a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter and a 3-megapixel one on the rear. It only accommodates a Micro-USB port, but its content can be wirelessly displayed on a television using Alcatel's One Touch Home V100 dongle.
Calling the new tablet an upgrade from Alcatel's previous 8-inch effort, the, gives the OneTouch Evo8 HD too much credit. The new model houses front and rear cameras with more megapixels, but otherwise bears the same OS, resolution, internal storage, CPU, and RAM as the Tab8 HD, which wore a more reasonable starting price of $179.
Our team will have more details as IFA 2013 continues, so check back for hands-on photos and updated information on the Alcatel OneTouch Evo8 HD as it becomes available.

The Grammys announced its nominations Monday for the 61st Grammy Awards and although two of the top artists of our time are both in the running for awards, there’s no love for both of them.
Louis C.K. wasn’t even included in the Best Comedy Album category, a snub that made headlines when the nominations were announced, based on C.K.’s acknowledgement of sexual harassment and misconduct in public conversations with The New York Times and in a recent interview with Ronan Farrow. In the column, the comedian said that he withheld his best story idea for his now-canceled FX sitcom, “Louie,” because he worried he would make people uncomfortable with it.
“This was not just bragging,” Farrow wrote of his encounter with C.K. It “was not an attempt to be brave, nor an acknowledgment of great honor in my work or life. It was a calculated move to hurt people.”
Because it was only the second time in six decades that a woman had won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album, Billie Jean King is being acknowledged for that win as well.
Another recognizable name missing from the ballot was Dave Chappelle. The comedian was candid with journalist Jeff Sharlet in an extensive Rolling Stone profile after his controversial appearance on Stephen Colbert’s show and its aftermath. C.K. wrote, edited and co-starred in Chappelle’s Show, but in the interview, Chappelle expressed anger and regret over how he handled the aftermath.
“I just had no clue what to do,” Chappelle said. “I was in denial. I wasn’t angry, but I was disappointed and concerned. If people would have found out four or five years earlier, I would have been really down on myself.”

Back to 2022_05_11_MUN_SemanaDeLaAtención
The MUN organizes the Week of Attention, from May 23 to 25, conference to develop this capacity through workshops, conferences and meetings.
This is the first proposal of laboratory de Pausa, a space of research to develop, through experience, physical and mental competences linked to contemplative activity.
11 | 05 | 2023
From May 23rd to 25th, the University of Navarra Museum is organizing the Attention Weekconference in which, through workshops, seminars and meetings, we will work on this capacity, which is especially threatened nowadays. The proposed activities seek to deepen and test practices to preserve and develop it. All the proposals in the program - aimed at the general public, educators, researchers, artists, museum professionals, etc. - are free of charge, prior registration until fill in capacity is reached. Places for the morning workshops have been sold out and a waiting list has been set up for registration. There are still places for the afternoon meetings.
The initiative, which is part of the MUN's project SociArte and is supported by Fundación la Caixa, is a collaboration between high school de Cultura y Sociedad (ICS) of the University of Navarra, Princeton University and the Friends of Attention collective. This is the first project of laboratory de Pausa, a space at research that invites us to develop, through experience, physical and mental skills linked to the contemplative life.
In the words of Nieves Acedo, Director of Programs at MUN, the goal of laboratory de Pausa "is to create a space of activity to host pilot projects informed by a style researcher to better understand the attitudes related to the experience of the art spectator. We are convinced that art contributes to the regeneration of subjectivity through the conscious cultivation of skills such as attention, listening, reflection and independent judgment. Pausa's laboratory seeks to test this hypothesis and find new ways to put it into practice at internship".
In this sense, Fernando Echarri, manager of the educational area of the MUN, points out that these conference want "to make people aware of their attention capacity to advance in the knowledge of reality, using this capacity in an adequate way".
CONVERSATION AND LEARNING
To achieve this, during the three days workshops, conferences and meetings have been organized with professionals from different disciplines such as visual artist and filmmaker Claudia Claremi, Princeton professor and researcher Graham Burnett, writer, facilitator and artist multidisciplinary Peter Schmidt and polarity therapist and osteopath, painter, dancer and facilitator Fernando Yoldi.
However, emphasizes Acedo, "beyond the specific activities, the program seeks to provide opportunities for exchange, conversation and mutual learning, uniting a community of art professionals, researchers, educators and interested people in general".
All activities will be guided by professionals from MUN's educational area and Friends of Attention. This initiative is especially important today because of the relevance of topic , "as a response to the fragmentation of attention in an over-stimulated and accelerated world," says Echarri. And in the face of this status, the MUN proposes to train this capacity. "It is necessary to have a finding that attracts the will and sustains the decision to pay attention. The different activities aim to facilitate discoveries in this direction. The commodification of care makes this task urgent and serious. We have a lot at stake, as almost everyone knows, and what we are trying to do is to contribute something, to act and show what art and a museum (especially in a university campus ) can mean in this common task," Acedo emphasizes.
The program will apply "active methodologies in the morning workshops, with participatory experiential sessions, including learning by doing and the search for meaningful experiences. And art is the vehicle for the transmission of all the contents," details the manager of Education. In this regard, the Director of Programs stresses that "contemplating art is an absolutely free and, at the same time, complex action. A work of art is not a landscape or a tree. It contains a spectrum of meanings that are not always correct, it responds to an intentionality and admits value judgments, of success or failure. In this sense, art is the center of conference. There is no art without attention and I can think of no better place to think about the latter than art".

Sam Houston State women’s basketball looks for another Southland Conference win against Abilene Christian tonight.
The Bearkats head into the game following a 60-53 loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Sunday at home.
“[We have to tighten up] our defense and create more opportunities on the offensive end,” sophomore guard Taylor Dorsey said. “Last game, we didn’t put ourselves in good position to score.”
The Kats won the first meeting against the Wildcats 63-58 in Abilene on Jan. 22. Junior guard Shernise Robertson led the Bearkats with 28 points in that meeting.
The Kats defense has a big task by slowing down the SLC’s third scoring team. ACU’s sophomore forward Sydney Shelsted leads the Wildcats with 12.6 points per game. The Kats post will need to play excellent defense against Shelsted down in the paint. Although ACU does not shoot the ball well from the three-point line, the Kats need to tighten up their perimeter defense.
“We have to play good defense and rebound the ball, because they have good shooters and rebounders,” Dorsey said.
The Kats offense looks to shake off last game’s struggling performance tonight. The Kats need to get their leader guard Shernise Robertson going early in the game. Conversely, Robertson needs to set the tone early and get others involved on the offensive end.
Dorsey will have to help take the scoring load off Robertson’s shoulders. Against TAMU-CC, Dorsey only had eight points. Junior guard Amanda Barnes made her return to the court last Saturday but only played six minutes for two points.
“Everyone has to be ready when they have the opportunity to score,” Dorsey said. “When everyone is scoring, we play better as a unit.”
The Kats need to have good ball movement to get quality shots and limit their turnovers. The opposition has capitalized off the Kats mistakes all year long.
Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m.

I seem to have a very high nicotine tolerance, and Rustica by itself doesn't have much of a scent or flavor, so I decided to mix it 50/50 with Swisher Superior, Starr, and Three Thistles Strong (not all together, but Rustica with each one of the three) for an extra nicotine kick. Unfortunately, the Rustica seems to overpower the scent of the other snuffs, so that the subtle smokiness and tobacco scent unique to each Scotch is overpowered by the hay-like flavor of the Rustica. Beginner's mistake, I guess. I'll keep them separate from now on.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Jessica Chastain awards House Shorts prize for House Cocktail at Soho House New York
Soho House last night announced the winner of the House Shorts film competition, a platform committed to discovering the next generation of filmmakers from across the UK, USA and Germany. James Kibbey was crowned the winner at a screening and announcement ceremony at Soho House New York, attended by the nine finalists, as well as Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain – who was part of the judging panel for the competition.
Jessica Chastain who announced James as the House Shorts 2012 winner with his submission House Cocktail said: “I picked House Cocktail because of the playfulness, creativity and relationships established in the short.”
The finalists faced an illustrious panel including Harvey Weinstein, Paul Haggis, Paul Greengrass, Joe Wright, Jessica Chastain and current House Shorts winner Sean Gray following their submission of a two-minute film each reflecting the theme, imagination, set and shot in one of the international Soho Houses. The final filmmakers were chosen out of the many entries and awarded funding to produce the short films.
On winning, James Kibbey said: “The House Shorts competition has so many inspiring people and great brands attached. The opportunity to make one of the nine films for this competition has been great, but to be endorsed by judges of that calibre is incredible.”
Guests were treated to Bombay Sapphire Cocktails at the newly refurbished private members’ club and bedrooms in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. The house covers six floors and is built over 45,000 square feet of a converted warehouse building in Manhattan’s vibrant Chelsea area. The club offers extensive amenities including the Restaurant, Club Bar, Drawing Room, Pantry Bar, a 44-seater cinema, Cowshed Spa and a heated rooftop pool. In addition, Soho House New York has 26 spacious bespoke designed rooms.
As a result of winning House Shorts 2012, James will now receive a series of “money can’t buy” private mentoring sessions with each of the esteemed judging panel, providing guidance that will help shape his career, as well as full international Soho House membership. James will also benefit from international exposure, as his film will be screened across all Soho House cinemas and screening rooms worldwide, plus receive support from the House Shorts Industry partners; BAFTA (particularly with promotion through guru.bafta.org), The Hollywood Reporter and Bombay Sapphire.

The protocol, PHA-2, is based off of the recent Journal of Controlled Release publication, Stable isotope method to measure drug release from nanomedicines. Since its publication in late 2015, this assay has gained a lot of attention and has been in high demand at the NCL, particularly in regards to bioequivalence analysis of follow-on/generic nanomedicines. The unique features of this assay include:
- Can be done in biological matrix, either in vitro or using samples from an in vivo study
- Can determine encapsulated, protein-bound, and free unbound drug concentrations
- Utilizes a stable isotope of the drug, many of which are commercially available
- No requirement for radioactivity (like NCL protocol PHA-1)
The protocol uses a stable isotopically labeled version of the drug (D*) and a simple ultrafiltration technique. When spiked into plasma or other matrix, D* equilibrates with protein (Pro) and nanomedicine (NM) identical to the unlabeled, normoisotopic drug (D). Therefore, the ultrafiltrate fraction of the isotopically labeled drug represents a reliable measurement of the free drug fraction. The plasma protein bound, unencapsulated and encapsulated nanomedicine fractions can then be easily calculated.
Have questions on the protocol? Let us know. Dr. Stephan Stern, developer of the technique, will be happy to address questions.

Prenatal Trauma, Dissociation & Bonding: Cultivating Growth with the Calming Womb Model
Do you ever find yourself stuck or curious about how to engage in clinical work with client’s who are pregnant and have simultaneous unresolved histories of trauma and dissociation? This presentation endeavors to highlight how experiences of unresolved trauma and dissociation in pregnant clients often remains hidden as a result of defensive adaptations, thus leaving trauma unseen, unknown, and untreated. Research and practice has illustrated that unresolved trauma and dissociation in pregnant client’s prior to their childrearing years impacts prenatal bonding, the obstetric experience, and the ability to parent children in a mindful, attuned manner. This presentation will provide practitioners with an exploration into the importance of assessment and screening to identify unprocessed trauma in new parents, followed by a presentation of a model called the Calming Womb Family Therapy Model (CWFTM). The Calming Womb Family Therapy model can be integrated into different therapeutic modalities, carefully integrates the results of trauma and dissociation screening tools/questionnaires into case conceptualization and treatment planning, and offers trauma informed interventions and collaborative care to support and nurture relational attunement with parents and babies from the moment of conception through the first year after birthing. The overall goal of this presentation is to offer treating clinicians with tools to engage in early screening and assessment of trauma and dissociation, as well as a model for treatment and healing to prevent the transmission of intergenerational trauma, as a result of exposure to traumatic experiences that span childhood maltreatment, rape and sexual assault, unwanted/unplanned pregnancy, relational tragedy, unresolved obstetric traumatic misattunement, birthing trauma, and familial/cultural/migratory stressors.
This session was original presented as a live conference session in April 2023.
At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:
- Describe tools to engage in early screening and assessment of trauma and dissociation in pre and perinatal psychotherapy
- Utilize and adapt a comprehensive model for treatment to prevent the transmission of intergenerational trauma
- Identify at least two benefits of engaging in early prenatal psychotherapy
- List at least two prenatal informed dyadic-bonding mindfulness practices
- Describe at least two prenatal informed dyadic-grounding practices

Kira teams up with Evie, a student at the animal sanctuary to track down the paradise parrot--a bird thought to be extinct--and prove that it still exists. While they're trying to observe the elusive bird, bushfires threaten to wipe out the sanctuary and the parrot's habitat. There's no choice but to evacuate all the animals, which is a huge task even without trying to track down a missing baby wallaby. As the bushfires rage out of control, Kira makes a disturbing discovery. Should she keep her mouth shut--or tell a painful truth?

The shadow housing minister said she had taken part to give reassurances to people, so they could make informed choices about being part of a trial for vaccines
Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch had her first jab in October.
Thousands more people from ethnic minority backgrounds, as well as those aged over 65, are needed for Covid-19 vaccine trials.
Ethnic minority groups are “under-represented” in clinical trials in the UK, despite research showing ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by coronavirus, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) said.
In a video filmed by the NHS Trust outside the University of Bradford, Ms Shah said volunteering was her “way of contributing to the good work that the hospital trust and university, and people up and down the country are doing” to create a safe vaccine.
The reason it’s so important and I felt I needed to take part in this trial is because, whilst we have a large black and minority ethnic community, we know this virus impacts disproportionately on those from those communities

Albert Uderzo, co-creator, and illustrator of the Asterix comics, has died at the age of 92.
Uderzo was the one who illustrated and later wrote the popular stories, which explained in detail the adventures of Gaulish warriors fighting the Roman Empire.
Bernard de Choisy, Uderzo’s son-in-law, confirmed the devastating news of his death, revealing the French comic book artist died in his sleep in France on the 24th of March, on a Tuesday.
De Choisy clarified at the announcement that his death is not related to the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
He said in his statement:
“[He] died in his sleep at his home in Neuilly from a heart attack unrelated to the coronavirus. He had been very tired for several weeks.”
Uderzo is the one who created the comics in 1959 with the help of writer René Goscinny, and took charge of the writing after Goscinny’s death in 1977. The series was first released in October 1959 in the French magazine Pilote and quickly generated a cult following.
Fans absolutely loved the small-statured Asterix, a warrior from Roman-occupied ancient Gaul, and after the first solo book, Astérix the Gaul, was released, the comic books started to sell more than 370 million copies worldwide, in dozens of different languages.
Several stories have been converted into cartoons and showcased films depicting Asterix’s adventures with his best friend Obelix and dog Dogmatix, or Idéfix, as he was known in the French original, and in 1989 a theme park dedicated to the cartoons opened outside Paris.
After many years of working on the series, in 2011 Uderzo gave the torch onto a younger artist to continue illustrating the stories of Asterix. The most recent book, Asterix and the Chieftain’s Daughter was released last October.
Several tributes have been pouring in for the creator, with comedian Chris Addison writing::
Albert Uderzo has died. Oh, man. I think very few people’s works will ever give me the amount of pleasure his has ever since I was very young. One of my greatest culinary regrets is that I’ll never get to eat wild boar the way he drew them for Asterix. Chapeau, monsieur.
Mark Millar, the creator of comics including Kingsman and Kick-Ass, wrote:
RIP Albert Uderzo, my gateway drug to beautiful European comics. I just bought this two weeks ago for my office. The Master!
There’s no doubt Uderzo’s creation will continue to bring joy to fans for decades to come; he has left behind an incredible legacy.
Our thoughts are with his friends, family, and fans at these trying times.

You may think it’s impossible to eat out primally. Well you’d be wrong. First of all, there are plenty of ways to manipulate current menu items to make them more Paleo, and secondly, more and more restaurants are actually moving to “healthier” menu items. Obviously it is worth discussing what exactly “healthy” means, but for a lot of restaurants that are becoming more health-conscious, it is great for the Paleo lifestyle enthusiast.
Let’s start with an important point. “Healthy” to a chain restaurant trying to make boatloads of profit is completely different than a locally owned and operated dive that is just trying to get by while making their customers happy. I prefer local restaurants and the food the serve is usually worth trying. Check out this useful reference to get a professional dental check-up that can help you understand if the food you eat gives you enough nutrition. If you are ready to hear the truth about your dental heath and nutrition, of course. Generally speaking, chains look for the cheapest ways to make the most money. For those of you who are Business majors, it’s obvious; spend less, make more. So what that means in the food world is taking shortcuts. That can be in anything from using vegetable oil to cook vegetables and meats to serving salad dressings that come delivered in the thousands in neat “Tear Here” packages. As soon as food industry started to explore paper overwrappers, any dish can be cooked and taken out. That is why I do not usually eat at chain restaurants, as I believe my health is more important for me. I used to have some serious dental issues because of bad eating habits. I even had a serious dental procedure ( I mean dental implants in Calgary), so not I am very picky about food. So based on that observation, the first tip is this: if it comes in a pre-sealed package, it’s probably processed and most likely contains processed ingredients. Run and hide from this stuff.
Here are a few ways you can eat out and stay healthy at the same time:
1. Bet on Butter
Whenever you eat out at a sit-down restaurant and order a hot entree, it’s simple, ask that your dish be sautéed in butter; by doing that, you will know exactly how your dish is being prepared as opposed to it probably being sautéed in some strange mix of vegetable and canola oil. This is also a great way to get some of your daily saturated fat. If you’re wondering about the effect saturated fat on your body, or any fat for that matter, check out Max’s post on saturated fat.
2. Salad on the Side
Almost all restaurants have an option to get a side salad, if not also a side order of vegetables. No matter what you get for your entree, by ordering a salad or a heaping portion of veggies you will guarantee you get your daily micronutrient load as well as the soluble and insoluble fiber that is crucial for your intestinal and digestive health. Following this principle as well as getting your daily allotments of fruit, your body will thank you in the long run (a post on the importance of fiber coming soon!).
The building blocks of that chicken breast or steak and all of the micronutrients within are crucial for your development and longevity. Because you really have no control of the quality of protein you will be consuming, go for lean meats and poultry where the fat content is negligible (and since the animal was probably fattened up with grains, that’s a good thing). Think chicken breast, steak, fish, turkey breast, ham, bacon (but this should really count more as a fat source), lamb. I’m sure you get the picture.
4. Hydrate! Think Water.
So you’ve got some healthier fats in and your micronutrients from the salad. You also ordered a mouthwatering piece of juicy protein. You’re all set. Oh my! All of a sudden your lips go dry! You forgot to order a drink. You motion to the waiter and say, “one soda–” but you inner paleo conscious says whoa there. Soda is a definite no-go. “One large water, please.” People don’t realize that Americans are drinking themselves fat. While I also agree that added sugar and gluten and carbohydrates from food are all major players, the sugar, specifically fructose from sugar-sweetened beverages is the real culprit. It’s simple; don’t drink soda. If you want to go a little wild get some tea or seltzer water on occasion.
5. Skip the Bread Basket
One of the easiest way to cut some unnecessary carbohydrates from your days total is to just ask for the server to skip the bread. If there’s no bread on the table, you can’t eat it. If you can’t eat it, you can’t turn it into that tire around your waist. Simple trick to cut some serious carbs. You may not realize but those add up. In my experience, the bread is warm, soft, slightly crunchy on the outside and nice and flakey on the inside, basically addictive, and the first basket is gone in two seconds flat. A slice of white bread can have around 13 grams of carbohydrates per slice. Even if you only eat two or three, you’ve already eaten 1/3 of your daily allotment of carbs to be able to burn fat. Now you have no wiggle room for those important fruits and veggies you need during the day.
What do you do to try and stay healthy when you eat out? Leave a comment below.

Hello Persianstart , today the topic is about Great Bernese Angry Over His Ear Medication Leaves Internet in Hysterics this article created on 2023-02-16 11:53:00 about Great Bernese Angry Over His Ear Medication Leaves Internet in Hysterics enjoy and it will takes 5 minutes to read the content .
A dog named Benny has left the internet in stitches after a video of him snarling at his ear drops bottle went viral on social media.
The video, shared on TikTok on Saturday by the dog’s owner, under the username Mustard.tits, shows the great Bernese snarling at his ear drops bottle as his mom tries to medicate him, explaining to him that it’s all going to be alright.
In the hilarious post, his mom can be heard saying to him: “Listen it’s only gonna take a minute, and you’ll feel better after we do it, ok?”
According to TexVetPets, if you’ve been instructed by your vet to administer medications to your dog at home, and your dog is making it a challenge, there are ways to make this process easier for both.
Their advice is to create a positive environment, giving your pet a treat or a stroke before their medication. TexVetPets suggests using gentle restraint techniques, such as taking your dog to a small area where they can’t run from you. Then, you can use a leash, or get somebody to help if needed.
When it comes to actually administering the medicine, you must have everything at hand and plenty of treats. TexVetPets says to avoid using over-the-counter medications.
“Gently warming ear cleaners may help make the process more comfortable for your pet; just make sure they are not too warm. Try to make your handling as gentle as possible. Avoid pulling too firmly on the ear flap or poking the ear canal with the applicator tip of medication bottles,” says TexVetPets.
“Avoid introducing cotton-tipped applicators into the ear canal. Placing a set amount of medicine in a small syringe may make it quicker and easier to deliver the medicine.”
The video quickly went viral across the platform, and it has so far received over 2.5 million views and 417,200 likes in less than a week.
One user, Heliodora, commented: “I love that he’s only snarling at the bottle like it’s the BOTTLE’S fault.” And Lana Maxwell wrote: “He said ‘Stay back heathen.'” Casey Nicole said: “the FACES HE MADE.”
Almondjoy_isnt_bad wrote: “Well well well, if it isn’t my archenemy.” And Hollie added: “My Shih Tzu literally runs at full speed away from me when I pull out that damn bottle!!!”
Another user, Millertime463, commented: “They know the ear drops lol my Bassett does the same.” And Lap ugliest wrote: “That’s me when when I have to have blood drawn.” tokyoxdoll addedd: “My Aussie does the same exact thing!! she always let’s me do it but has to show her teeth at the bottle first.”
Chess said: “They def know the bottle lmao.” And KevTrash wrote: “Can always try applying the ear cleaner to a large cotton ball.” Eyonna Brooks added: “When my dog sees me with ear drops, he just runs.”
Roz Jr said: “You can see the love for Momma and hate of bottle battle in his head. The love won.” And candylou79 joked: “Oooh buddy I feel the same about eye drops.”
Newsweek reached out to Mustard.tits for comment. We could not verify the details of the case.
Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to [email protected] with some details about your best friend and they could appear in our Pet of the Week lineup.

Maafushi is a local island in the Maldives in which tourism has boomed up in the past few years. Now, you see many tourist guest houses and hotels. It was nice to see an island in close proximity to the capital Male with so many entertainment activities like water sports, snorkeling trips, excursions and much more. The ride in a speed boat to the island is $20 for one way. And you can easily find a room for various price ranges starting from $40.
In our short stay we managed to try a few restaurants around the island and I must tell you we were quite surprised with the bill at the end as most of it was exorbitant.
We went to Symphony lagoon restaurant by hotel Crystal sands for lunch on the day we were leaving. The island was pretty packed the weekend we visited, but the restaurant was pretty empty. But yet! It took them a good amount of time to bring us our food.
Upon the recommendations from the waiter we tried the Lebanese Chicken ($9.07) which was a Chef specialty. A huge piece of chicken breast grilled to perfection marinated with amazing flavours and which had a perfect amount of spice topped with some salad cream came along with some vegetable fried rice and a salad. The chicken tasted really good and went very well with rice.
Chilli chicken ($8.30) was another dish we tried. With a beautiful hue of red from the sauce this dish looked very appealing. The bell pepper, tomatoes and onions in the dish made an amazing combo with the chicken. This was also apparently served with the same vegetable fried rice and salad.
We also tried the fried cuttlefish with rice ($8.48). Batter fried cuttlefish was presented with vegetable fried rice and salad. The marination for the batter was on point and went well with rice.
The Nasigoreng ($5.51) we tried was topped with a fried egg. It was spicy and had a lot of meat in it. But it was a bit bland and not so special compared to the other dishes we had there.
For beverages, we tried a watermelon mojito ($3.39) which had a slightly bitter taste initially and when we sent it back they just added some more sugar syrup in it. We weren’t very pleased with that though. We also tried many varieties of fresh fruit juices. We had the mango juice ($3.89) which was thick and sweet and very filling. The orange ($3.24)and pineapple ($3.24) juices were also very light, refreshing and exactly what we needed to beat the heat at Maafushi.
Overall, they had some good food and fresh juices. But warning you that it might make a dent in your wallet!

As a passionate gardener, I understand the importance of providing the best care for plants. One common issue that can hinder their growth and overall health is potassium deficiency.
It is crucial to be able to identify the symptoms of potassium deficiency in order to address and treat it effectively. By recognizing these signs, you can take the necessary steps to ensure the optimal growth and vitality of your plants.
- Yellow or orangish flecks or spots on older leaves
- Yellowing between veins
- Brown edges on leaves
- Chlorosis (yellowing) of leaf tissue
- Slow growth, increased susceptibility to diseases, poor crop yield, and overall poor health
Common Causes and Effects of Potassium Deficiency in Plants
Potassium deficiency can have a significant impact on the health and growth of plants. Understanding the causes and effects of this deficiency is crucial for effective plant care. Several factors can lead to potassium deficiency in plants, with soil composition being a common culprit.
Light sandy soils, in particular, are prone to washing away essential nutrients like potassium due to their loose structure. Additionally, incorrect pH levels in the soil can render potassium unavailable for plant uptake.
Another factor that contributes to potassium deficiency is the presence of excess salts, calcium, or magnesium in the soil. These elements can inhibit the absorption of potassium by plants, further exacerbating the deficiency.
It is essential to note that different plants may have varying sensitivities to potassium deficiency, so it is crucial to monitor the specific symptoms exhibited by each plant species.
Table: Causes and Effects of Potassium Deficiency in Plants
|Soil composition (light sandy soils)
|Yellow or orangish flecks or spots on older leaves
|Incorrect pH levels
|Yellowing between veins
|Excess salts, calcium, or magnesium
|Brown edges on leaves
|Chlorosis (yellowing) of leaf tissue
The effects of potassium deficiency can be detrimental to overall plant health. In addition to the physical symptoms mentioned above, plants experiencing potassium deficiency may also suffer from slow growth, increased vulnerability to diseases, poor crop yield, and overall diminished vigor.
By understanding the causes and effects of potassium deficiency, gardeners can take proactive measures to mitigate these issues and promote optimal plant growth.
Identifying and Diagnosing Potassium Deficiency in Plants
Diagnosing potassium deficiency in plants is crucial for addressing the issue and promoting optimal growth. By recognizing the specific symptoms associated with low potassium levels, gardeners can take appropriate measures to rectify the deficiency.
Some common symptoms to look out for include yellow or orangish flecks or spots on older leaves, yellowing between veins, brown edges on leaves, and chlorosis (yellowing) of leaf tissue. It’s important to note that these symptoms may vary depending on the plant species.
When diagnosing potassium deficiency, a visual inspection of the plants can provide valuable clues. Examining the leaves for the characteristic discolorations and deformities can help determine if the plants are lacking potassium.
Conducting soil tests can provide further insights into the nutrient levels and pH balance, which may contribute to potassium deficiency.
Another technique to diagnose potassium deficiency is through tissue testing. Plant tissue analysis involves collecting plant samples and sending them to a laboratory for analysis.
This method provides a precise measurement of nutrient levels in the plant, including potassium. By comparing the results with optimal nutrient ranges, gardeners can confirm the presence of potassium deficiency and make informed decisions regarding fertilization.
Differentiating Potassium Deficiency from Other Plant Disorders
It’s important to differentiate potassium deficiency from other plant disorders that may exhibit similar symptoms. For example, magnesium deficiency and certain diseases can cause yellowing of leaves and appear similar to potassium deficiency.
By considering the specific symptoms and conducting further tests, such as soil analysis or consultation with agricultural experts, gardeners can accurately diagnose potassium deficiency and address it appropriately.
Effective treatments for potassium deficiency in plants
To effectively treat potassium deficiency in plants, there are several recommended approaches. One method is to spread organic mulch beneath the plants, which can help conserve moisture and improve nutrient availability.
Mulching not only helps retain moisture in the soil but also acts as a slow-release source of potassium. This can provide a steady supply of the nutrient to the plants over time and promote healthy growth.
Another effective treatment for potassium deficiency is the application of potassium fertilizer. There are various forms of potassium fertilizers available, but it is important to choose a slow-release option to avoid leaching.
Slow-release fertilizers, such as potassium silicate, sulfur-coated potassium products, or polymer-coated potassium, are preferred as they release nutrients gradually, allowing plants to absorb them more efficiently.
It is important to note that certain potassium fertilizers should be avoided in specific situations. For example, potassium chloride should be avoided if there are issues with chlorine or salt toxicity.
Readily leached materials like potassium nitrate and potassium sulfate should be avoided, especially in sandy soils. By selecting the appropriate potassium fertilizer and considering the specific requirements of the plants and soil conditions, gardeners can effectively treat potassium deficiency and support the overall health and development of their plants.
– Improves plant resilience
– Enhances disease resistance
|– May increase pH levels in acidic soils
– Requires proper application rate
|Sulfur-coated potassium products
– Minimizes nutrient leaching
– Suitable for sandy soils
|– May release sulfur as well
– Temperature-dependent release
|– Controlled release of nutrients
– Long-lasting effects
– Reduces fertilizer application frequency
|– Expensive compared to other options
– Requires proper timing and application
Preventing and Maintaining Optimal Potassium Levels in Plants
As a gardener, I know that prevention is always better than cure when it comes to potassium deficiency in plants. To ensure your plants stay healthy and avoid potassium deficiency, there are a few key steps you can take.
First and foremost, it’s crucial to provide your plants with sufficient nutrients. Regularly monitor the nutrient levels in your soil and adjust them as necessary. This can be done through reliable fertilization, ensuring that your plants have access to the potassium they need.
Another important factor to consider is the pH level of your soil. Maintaining the optimal pH range for nutrient availability is essential for preventing potassium deficiency.
Regularly test the pH of your soil and make adjustments if needed to ensure that potassium and other nutrients are readily available for uptake by your plants.
In addition to monitoring nutrient levels and pH, it’s also important to pay attention to fundamental parameters of plant health such as electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature of the root zone.
By keeping these factors in check, you can create an environment that promotes optimal nutrient uptake, including potassium.

Sirin Labs, the maker of the whopping US$16,000 Solarin Android smartphone is building a blockchain phone and have decided to build their new line of devices named “Finney” to work with a private Ethereum blockchain, rather than IOTA’s Tangle distributed ledger technology as initially stated in its whitepaper. “We are not working with IOTA. We considered the option and decided to path ways,” Nimrod May, chief marketing officer of Sirin Labs, told ETHNews.
“At launch, we are going to use the Ethereum blockchain. The Finney Phone will work through complete nodes that are hosted on Sirin Labs.
“Our plan since the release of our whitepaper, has always been to migrate the SRN token and Sirin Labs ecosystem to a next-generation blockchain.” The Finney devices, which will include a smartphone and a PC, will run on Sirin Labs’ open source operating system Sirin OS. Sirin OS will be designed to support inherent blockchain applications such as a cryptocurrency wallet, secure exchange access, encrypted communications, and a peer-to-peer resource sharing ecosystem for payment and apps, supported by the SRN token.
Finney devices will form an independent blockchain network. The Finney smartphone, which will retail for US$1,000, is slated to launch and be available to buy in November.
Sirin Labs plans to sell the device through eight new stores located in places with the most active crypto communities. So far, more than 25,000 units have been preordered and the company aims to ship from 100,000 to a few million units this year. Read more from coinjournal.net…
