2019 BMW 3 Series GT Exterior
Taking a gander at the first sight, 2019 BMW 3 Series GT with its modest bodyline size and dynamic bodyline outline.

In addition, both of bumpers are outlined with new plan that makes the car looks more astonishing than its predecessor.
On the exterior front, the new BMW 3 Series GT the fundamental design and also visual characteristics with inconspicuous augmentations to the profile, for example, the new LED headlamp cluster, a restyled front bumper, LED Tail-lights, a restyled rear bumper and chrome highlights too.

However, 2019 BMW 3 Series GT Review and Redesign still doesn’t give any information about what sort of features that will desire the car. For this situation, we may predict that the car may show signs of improvement security framework.

Revenue is an image of this, with all the GT producing up only 5 Percent of 3 Collection piece product deals, however like most top notch issues, for the situation, you may be varied, you could adequately as really stand out

"In 1952, the landscape of American fiction was dominated by a group of literary celebrities who had published their first novels after or near the end of World War II. James Baldwin, Saul Bellow, Truman Capote, Ralph Ellison, Norman Mailer, J.D. Salinger, Gore Vidal: these were the up-and-comers about whom everyone was talking in the days when serious fiction still mattered to the educated public, the ones who were expected to do great things.
But while all of them are remembered today, none save Bellow came anywhere near living up to his promise. And though the most consequential American book of 1952 was undoubtedly Ellison’s Invisible Man, the year’s most significant literary debut turns out in retrospect to have been a slender, poorly reviewed novel about a half-crazed itinerant evangelist who preached the gospel of the Church Without Christ, a book whose all-but-unknown author was a young woman whose home was not New York but a small town in rural Georgia.
It took a number of years for Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood to be recognized as a modern classic, but once recognition came, it was decisive. Today O’Connor, who died in 1964 at the age of 39, is generally acknowledged as one of the foremost American fiction writers of the 20th century. Not only has she emerged as a key figure in postwar American letters; she is by far the most critically acclaimed of the many Catholic writers who came to prominence in this country after World War II, as well as one of the most widely read novelists, short-story writers, or poets to have been born in the American South. As Brad Gooch points out in Flannery: A Life of Flannery O’Connor1 the first full-length biography of O’Connor, the Library of America’s 1988 volume of her collected works “outsold [William] Faulkner’s, published three years earlier.”2
That an author who published only two short novels and twenty stories (not counting student work) in her lifetime should now be the subject of such posthumous acclaim is the stuff reevaluations are made of. Might some of the attention now being paid to O’Connor and her modest oeuvre arise from the fact that she died so young? Or could it be that certain of her admirers are going out of their way to praise a writer who—unlike the once-big literary guns of the 50’s—was a woman?
Tempting though such mean-spirited speculation may be, it is misguided. O’Connor’s laconic, formidably tough-minded novels and stories are fully as good as their reputation, and vastly better than anything published by Baldwin, Capote, Mailer, Salinger, or Vidal. After she died, Thomas Merton wrote that “when I read Flannery O’Connor, I do not think of Hemingway, or Katherine Anne Porter, or Sartre, but rather of someone like Sophocles.” Though O’Connor herself would surely have scoffed at such praise, she is among a bare handful of American writers, modern or otherwise, of whom such a thing might plausibly be said.
But her reputation rests in part on a persistent misunderstanding. Unlike most of the other major American novelists of the 20th century, O’Connor wrote not as a more or less secular humanist but as a believer, a rigorously orthodox Roman Catholic. Her fiction was permeated with religious language and symbolism, and its underlying intent was in many cases specifically spiritual. Yet most of O’Connor’s early critics failed to grasp her intentions, and even now many younger readers are ignorant of the true meaning of her work.
Brad Gooch’s excellent book is likely to clear up this misunderstanding once and for all. Flannery: A Life is attractively written, thorough but not obtrusively detailed and—most important—wholly to the point. Unlike much of what has been published about O’Connor in recent years, it is the work of a biographer whose goal is not to advocate or justify but simply to tell the story of O’Connor’s too-short life and (insofar as possible) show how it was mirrored in her fiction.
As Gooch makes clear, O’Connor’s religious beliefs were central to her art. She was a “cradle Catholic,” one of the very few novelists of her generation to have been born into the church rather than converting to Catholicism as an adult, and she appears never to have weathered any crisis of faith. What inspired her to write fiction, however, was not her own reasonably straightforward relationship to the Catholic Church so much as the church’s more complex relationship to the world around her.
Roman Catholicism has long been viewed with suspicion in the South, where evangelical Protestantism in all its myriad varieties is woven into the fabric of a culture that is, in O’Connor’s oft-quoted phrase, “Christ-haunted.” O’Connor, on the other hand, was both a Catholic and an intellectual, a pair of traits that set her as far apart from the common life of rural Georgia as did the chronic illness that forced her to lead the reclusive existence of a semi-invalid.3
Yet O’Connor, to her credit, took the homespun beliefs of her fellow Southerners with the utmost seriousness. Even more surprisingly, she regarded them with exceptional imaginative sympathy, seeking to portray in her fiction the sometimes bizarre ways in which spiritual enthusiasm manifested itself in the lives of people who, lacking an orthodoxy to guide them, were forced to re-create the forms of religion from scratch. As she explained in a 1959 letter:
The religion of the South is a do-it-yourself religion, something which I as a Catholic find painful and touching and grimly comic. It’s full of unconscious pride that lands them in all sorts of ridiculous religious predicaments. They have nothing to correct their practical heresies and so they work them out dramatically.
Her sympathy, she added, arose from the fact that “I accept the same fundamental doctrines of sin and redemption and judgment that they do.”
Hence the ambiguity of Wise Blood, a concisely picaresque novel about Hazel Motes, an uneducated Southerner who longs to free himself from the Christianity in which he was raised but “cannot get rid of his sense of debt and his inner vision of Christ” (as O’Connor put it) and ends by blinding himself in order to better “see” his inner vision of divine grace. What gives Wise Blood its characteristic tone is that O’Connor plays Motes’s desperate struggle for laughs—but without ever making the mistake of viewing it, or him, with contempt.

Leave it to Mary Palmer Dargan, the Buckhead and Cashiers licensed landscape architect of HGTV and Architectural Digest fame to embark upon a new addition to her already extensive gardening repertoire by bringing in a sculptor as her latest lecturer for Dovecote's Grand Opening ceremony.
Sculptor Carl Peverall was on hand to interpret his addition to the Dargan's Dovecote Porch landscape located in Cashiers, N.C., and he told the large crowd gathered on Friday, June 27 that his inspiration for this piece came when he decided to honor a "very dear and late patron of mine, Andy Fowler."
Fowler, guests were told, had a bucket list that included something he had denied himself for years: a sculpture for his own garden. And when he realized that he was dying, he commissioned Peverall to make one for him, which the North Carolina artist did.
The surprising twist in the story comes about when Peverall comes to the bonsai plant sitting so perfectly in a bowl at the top of the stone structure he has created for the Dargans. According to Peverall, decades ago the North Carolina Arboretum received a large donation of bonsai plants and containers from Mr. and Mrs. George Staples of Butner, NC. But it was his patron Mr. Fowler who took it upon himself to see the donated plants were eventually placed in a Bonsai Exhibition Garden at the arboretum, thanks to his fundraising efforts and more.
Yet despite Andy Fowler's avid support and fundraising efforts for the future of this arboretum project, he had denied himself something he really longed for himself: a garden sculpture. And it was not until towards the end of his life, when he was "getting his affairs in order," according to Carl Peverall, that he gave himself permission to have it made. And isn't that just like a generous person, giving of oneself with great abandon, but denying themselves the smallest pleasure in life?
On Friday, the esteemed North Carolina sculptor shared with Mary Palmer (and her equally talented husband Hugh Dargan), as well as their Dargan Dovecote Porch Grand Opening guests, how his patron was finally able to receive and enjoy his long-desired sculptor, living one month longer than he believed he had when it was first commissioned.
And it was with this memory on his mind that Carl Peverall began creating The Mentor sculpture for Mary Palmer Dargan's latest professional endeavor: Dovecote, as he wanted to honor someone dear to him. And Dovecote seemed to be the perfect place to do it.

As a part of a weekly collection, we’re profiling girls who stepped up at a second of disaster and stuffed gaps within the labor market through the pandemic.
Elyce Rivera turned a 911 operator at a time when emergency response telephone providers had turn out to be lifelines for the hundreds of thousands of People sequestered at dwelling — and as facilities throughout the nation struggled to rent and retain new workers.
Alongside a job working for the town of Philadelphia, Ms. Rivera, 30, was doing hair at dwelling to make ends meet within the 12 months earlier than the pandemic hit. She was motivated to alter professions by her household’s tangible monetary wants. Her accomplice, Bennie Tucker, 30, had misplaced his job, and she or he wished to offer a greater life for his or her daughters, Nyelah, 9, and Ryelee, 3.
However she additionally had a want to “be part of one thing large,” she mentioned. Whereas many different girls had been locked out of the labor market, she joined a gaggle of important staff who proceed to work by way of the trauma of the pandemic — who, by monetary necessity, alternative, intuition or love, get up each day and save lives.
Ms. Rivera had gotten an affiliate diploma in felony justice and criminology a few years prior and, impressed by her stepmother, determined to use to be a 911 operator in March 2021.
When Ms. Rivera instructed her stepmother, Isabel Lopez, who has labored as a 911 operator in Pennsylvania and Florida for 20 years, that she wished to use final spring, “I instructed her the reality,” Ms. Lopez mentioned. “It’s very annoying.” However Ms. Lopez additionally instructed her about how the great days — corresponding to when an individual she helped known as her again to thank her — made up for the unhealthy days.
It was not a straightforward street for Ms. Rivera. She took the entry examination 4 occasions earlier than she handed, and was the final individual in her class to get licensed and cleared to take calls and not using a coaching officer on the road. She struggled with memorizing the police zones and municipalities inside the county and, later, with making use of that information whereas a coach coached her by way of calls. It made her ponder whether she was constructed for the function.
That every one modified in late October 2021, when she acquired a distressing name on the finish of her shift from a girl who had gone into labor whereas caught in visitors on the freeway. Ms. Rivera talked her by way of taking deep breaths and getting ready to present beginning, instructing her to place her legs up on the dashboard. On the similar time, she coordinated with the police to find the girl utilizing the middle’s GPS and mapping techniques. Ms. Rivera stayed on the telephone till emergency responders had been capable of finding the girl, shortly after she gave beginning. Later, the 2 girls met and Ms. Rivera acquired some media consideration for her dealing with of the decision.
“It boosted my confidence degree a lot,” she mentioned, “as a result of that was a extremely powerful name to take.”
On a day in early February, Ms. Rivera sat on her sofa in Eagleville, Penn., combing by way of her daughter Nyelah’s blow-dried hair.
“I didn’t get to take them to highschool in the present day,” Ms. Rivera mentioned. It was her seventh straight day working a 12-hour in a single day shift and that morning, after dropping her accomplice off at work, she’d slept by way of the alarm meant to immediate her to wake the women; they missed college.
“She doesn’t get a lot relaxation,” Mr. Tucker, Ms. Rivera’s accomplice, mentioned.
Later that day, on the 911 communications middle, Ms. Rivera sat down at her assigned station for the evening, a large cubicle flanked by a number of screens that confirmed advanced maps and communication techniques. Co-workers mentioned their “regulars,” folks with psychological well being points who name continuously sufficient that the operators know them by title. The middle is in some ways like another workplace: They rejoice workers’ birthdays as soon as a month, sending round a card and sharing desserts. The vibe within the room is surprisingly calm, contemplating the traumas unfolding on the opposite finish of the strains.
The calls come each couple of minutes, with few breaks. Folks name for psychological well being crises, automotive accidents, lacking individual stories, burglaries and home violence disturbances, which Ms. Rivera’s stepmother, Ms. Lopez, mentioned she had heard extra of for the reason that begin of the pandemic.
Because the pandemic exacerbated many social points, 911 operators — 74 % of whom had been girls in 2021, in line with the Bureau of Labor Statistics — turned a repository for the nation’s traumas. Situations of home violence elevated. And Ms. Rivera mentioned that many callers, such because the aged who dwell alone, known as “simply so that you can pay attention.”
“Generally they only need someone to know them, to sympathize with them,” she mentioned.
The calls associated to Covid had been notably unhappy. Generally Ms. Lopez may hear in callers’ voices “that they had been struggling to take a breath, to say they need assistance,” she mentioned. On some events the calls got here from youngsters saying a mum or dad was sick.
That’s why Ms. Lopez mentioned it was “a disgrace” that 911 operators weren’t well known as first responders, regardless of their contributions to public security and the specialised abilities required for the job.
Although some states, together with New York and California, have moved to designate 911 operators as first responders, Sara Weston, the founding father of 911der Girls, a nonprofit group, mentioned the lag in different states prevented 911 operators from getting ongoing coaching, assets and psychological well being advantages afforded to emergency medical technicians, firefighters or law enforcement officials.
“Regardless that we’re not out on the road, we’re those getting that first name,” Ms. Lopez mentioned, including, “We’re coping with people who find themselves traumatized.”
Little analysis is obtainable on how 911 operators are affected by this publicity, however a seminal 2012 research within the Journal of Traumatic Stress discovered that it could place 911 operators at an elevated danger of post-traumatic stress dysfunction. The pandemic appears to have solely exacerbated this development. In 2021, 32 % of responders in a survey of 546 call-takers and dispatchers in Poland reported emotional exhaustion through the pandemic, whereas 53 % mentioned it affected their capacity to do their jobs.
Ms. Rivera tries to depart her work on the door, however generally the calls keep along with her. At one level, Ms. Rivera, recounting a name a couple of rape, solid down her head, sharing that she’s the product of rape and that these calls are a set off for her. Nonetheless, she mentioned, she feels as if she’s landed the place she belongs.
It helps that Ms. Rivera works exhausting to domesticate optimism. When she was struggling throughout her coaching, she reminded herself she’s “not one to give up.” On her kitchen wall cling inspirational reminders: Scatter kindness. Discover pleasure. Keep humble. Exterior of labor, she tries to get in as a lot time as she will with Mr. Tucker and their kids.
Ms. Lopez and Mr. Tucker mentioned Ms. Rivera had a “large coronary heart” and was inclined towards serving to others. Her temperament is examined generally by callers who berate or are impolite to her, however she mentioned she tried to do not forget that most individuals are calling “on the worst day of their lives.”
Figuring out that she’s serving to folks throughout life-or-death moments offers Ms. Rivera a way of objective. “I really feel like that is the place I wish to be,” she mentioned. “That is one thing necessary. That is one thing that issues.”

Real or faux, we saw heaps of hair on New York’s runways this week — and we can say confidently, we’ve never been more motivated to steer clear of the snooze button and spend an extra hour in the morning teasing, gelling, curling, or braiding to achieve one of the following elaborate coifs. Here are six styles we’ve been coveting most:
1. Fearless Disco at Jenny Packham
Why: For one, we think this might be the answer to the age old humidity hair conundrum. Moreover, we think that this statement hair, paired with an enchanting barrette, is romantic enough for a date, while still being primed for a wild night out on the town. One fear we have is that we lack the curling iron prowess. Only trial will tell.
2. Idiosyncratic ’80s Hair at Rodarte
Why: The Mulleavy sisters have a way of making us rethink what we once thought, and despite loathing the ’80s as a whole, we find ourselves lovelorn over this edgy style. Essentially, they followed the same routine that a Brat Pack groupie might have prior to a party: deep parting the hair and using a curling iron to create a wave in front. You just need a proper ’80s nickname to match.
3. Slicked Back at Prabal Gurung
Why: We were already hankering for this look and then Prabal went and made us want it more. Hair stylist Paul Hanlon told Into the Gloss, “The idea for the hair was that the women were kept in a box and have been let out for a minute for the world to see them, but they are so über-beautiful and creature-like that they have to go back into the box.”
4. The Girl With Flowers in Her Hair at Zac Posen
Why: We don’t know many flower children. That is, if we’re not counting the models at Honor (see below), but we have yet to see any skipping through fields in voluminous ball gowns. And yet, we find ourselves wanting to strewn our next evening updo with fresh blooms. While this might be foreign black tie territory, we’re trusting Zac Posen on this one.
5. Gold Specked Updo at Lela Rose
Why: We’re all about updos when the temperatures begin to rise. We’re also not ones to shy away from a gilded look, especially when there’s gold involved. You can achieve this look by using a curling iron to creative waves, backcombing the wavy portion of hair, and then sprinkling the aureate leaf flakes atop the nest of teased hair.
6. Flower Stickers at Honor
Why: We’re human and
occasionally always prefer a shortcut when it comes to statement hair. Now excuse us while we raid our ’90s elementary school sticker books.

For over a decade from my early twenties my passion and job was creating pretty visual images be it on wall in clothing stores where I worked as Visual Merchandiser or be it on my own clothing that I would paint, dye or drawn on. I’ve always been crazy about clothing and how you can express yourself through fashion & colour.
Coming from a very eco conscious up bringing it wasn’t long till I started looking into the fashion industry I was then working in, sadly my research and findings were not only devastating to me but also our planet! Within less than a year I had moved myself within the fashion industry from a well-paid VM job to working in the vintage clothing sector, learning where and how to locate stock, watching the team revamp old vintage finds into new modern day two pieces. I guess this idea of sourcing something that already existed stuck with me!
I've been working away behind the scenes on my NEW "To:Me" Collection reworking lots of crewnecks ATFL style!
RAINBOW sweaters as I like to call them. It has been so hard keeping this collection from you all but I'm excited to share it will soon be ready to launch. I've been documenting the process and will share many BTS footage with you over on my Instagram account @allthingsfionalily so make sure you go over there to follow along with my day to day journey of running this colourful little brand.

Strictly Come Dancing 2018 is back – and with a whole new class of celebrities and some eye-catching new pro dancers, there’s plenty to talk about.
Saturday night’s pre-recorded launch show saw the celebrities dancing in the Strictly ballroom for the very first time.
Viewers also found out those all-important couples, as the celebrities discovered who they would be dancing with this year.
Check out some of the best reactions from the night below.
Vick Hope nabs new hottie Graziano
With Brendan Cole leaving the show, Strictly needed a new pro to plug the gap. But who could it be? Say hello to Graziano di Prima…
Quite the entrance, don’t you think?
Viewers had a lot of thoughts about Graziano, not all of them appropriate for a family show. But in the main, people seemed to be getting serious Game of Thrones vibes off the new recruit.
But which lucky celebrity would be partnered up with Graziano? That would be radio presenter Vick Hope.
And lucky lucky Vick!! #Strictly— 🦄 𝔍𝔢𝔴𝔢𝔩𝔰 🐝💙 (@JuetheBlue) September 8, 2018
Almost immediately viewers were touting them as potential favourites, and it’s not hard to see why.
I’ve been literally wanting to say this since I found out they were paired together but VICK AND GRAZIANO YESSS 🔥😍 I’m 100% rooting for them! #Strictly— Lauren (@TwirlyShirleyx) September 8, 2018
If nothing else, their Halloween theme is surely a given now right?
I’m sorry but if Vick and Graziano don’t do a Game of Thrones themed dance at Halloween I might riot #Strictly

Yet another predictable partner for Anton du Beke
Cast your eye down the Strictly celebrity list for this year. Now put money on who you think Anton will get.
What do you reckon? Susannah paired with Anton? #Strictly— Tracey (@TraceyCoutts) September 8, 2018
Bet Anton gets the oldest of the ladies as per usual #Strictly!!— hazel tetley (@hazypets) September 8, 2018
Congratulations, you bet correct!
Yes, Anton and Susannah Constantine are now officially a couple – but the group dance didn’t exactly fill Anton fans with confidence.
Susannah: I can't tell left from right.— Marianka Swain (@mkmswain) September 8, 2018
Anton: Yup, that's my partner #strictly
Hey, let’s keep our hopes up – maybe we’re in for a surprise?
Reigning champ Katya is back to the comedy routines
Last year Katya Jones secured the Strictly Glitterball with Joe McFadden, but this year she may have to take a little more inspiration from her previous year coaching Ed Balls.
She was partnered up with comedian Seann Walsh, and viewers were intrigued to see her choreography skills put to the test once again.
Katya is such a great choreographer. I hope Sean is good enough for her quite frankly #Strictly— Gwinnie (@gwinniejones) September 8, 2018
Katya is the comedian specialist now due to the Ed Balls experience #strictly
— Catherine Chisnall (@catherinechisna) September 8, 2018
The early signs however are that they will could be firm favourites among the Strictly voters, so maybe this journey has a way to go yet…
Seann and Katya are going to be hilarious 😂😂 #Strictly— katie (@Kaaaaatie_x) September 8, 2018
But even though some viewers felt they could do with toning it down a bit, frankly only one person’s opinion matters when it comes to Kevin’s future partner. That person is Susan Calman.
If you love them, set them free.— Susan Calman (@SusanCalman) September 8, 2018
Tonight my dance boyfriend @keviclifton will be paired with his new partner on @bbcstrictly. I'll be watching, supporting and cheering them loudly every step of the way. Can't wait to see who it is. Team Clifton to win!
Last year’s pair were so close that Susan even had a tattoo ‘I heart Grimsby’ made after her Strictly journey took her all the way to Blackpool, so whoever was coupled with with Kevin this year had a lot to live up to.
On Strictly, I promised the audience I’d get a specific tattoo if me and @keviclifton got to Blackpool.— Susan Calman (@SusanCalman) May 28, 2018
1. I always keep my promises
2. I added a sun for Bring Me Sunshine
3. It’s full of joy and a reminder of what I can achieve if I dance outside my comfort zone. I love it! pic.twitter.com/dHw4Tz174k
Luckily, Susan gave Stacey her blessing. Now, what does the future hold for Strictly’s new power couple?
‘Pashley’ looks a winner already – but is Ashley Roberts too good to be true?
Arguably one of the strongest partnerships of the night, Ashley Roberts and Pasha Kovalev are certainly ones to watch when the dancing begins in earnest.
They’ve even got a couple name that works straight out of the box.
Can we call Ashley and Pasha Pashley from now on, btw? #Strictly
— Paige ? (@RedheadRasslin) September 8, 2018
However, among all the glitter and the lip gloss, there is the annual Strictly shadow: is Ashley too good a dancer already?
The Pussycat Dolls star had plenty of dancing experience thanks to her years in the girl band, and even went on to judge ITV’s Dancing on Ice.
Will viewers turn against her because of her dance history?
Excuse me for pointing out the elephant in the room, but I thought #Strictly was about learning to dance.— Jess // UK Travel & Culture (@thecrownwings) September 8, 2018
Isn’t Ashley Roberts a trained dancer already? 🤨🤔
She has frequently explained that the style of ballroom in particular is something she’s wholly unfamiliar with, and that she like others will have to learn “a skill and a new style that I have never done before”, so it’s not quite as easy as saying she’s a certainty for the final.
People who say it's not fair because Ashley is already a dancer , but its a different type of dancing , never have i seen pussycat dolls do a paso doble during a music video 😂#Strictly— Evann Griffiths (@evann_lfc) September 8, 2018
With Pasha putting her through her paces, however, she definitely has a chance to go all the way.
Strictly now takes a two-week break to give the celebrities a chance to train with their pro dancer partners, with the first live show scheduled for Saturday 22nd September.

Rafael Trobat by Rafael Trobat
This is a superbly illustrated overview of the work of critically renowned Spanish photographer Rafael Trobat. Rafael Trobat is an internationally renowned photographer, and pupil of master photographer Cristina Garcia Rodero, who is best known for his striking images of daily life in Nicaragua at the end of the revolution in the 1990s. In order to achieve greater reality and closeness to what is being presented in his pictures, Trobat seeks the position of the photographer who is absent at the moment of taking the shot, hidden from sight of his models, without intervening in what takes place before his lens. Having taken this decision he only had to find a setting fitting his intents in order to fulfil his imaginative potential, and he chose life, with its contradictions and misfortunes from a close and condescending position, with ironic complicity in his gaze, seeking reality itself within this wink to the unreal and the absurd.

ave you just received word that your divorce is finalized? Divorce can be a draining process physically and emotionally, and finally being through with it should bring a huge sigh of relief. A new life of freedom and opportunity awaits. Clients regularly ask what to do once their divorce is over. Divorce is consuming, so it can be a bit strange to transition suddenly to having no court dates or attorney meetings in your future. While the period after your divorce is certainly a time for celebrating and reflecting, there are a few steps you should take once your divorce is finalized to make sure you have everything in order for your single life.
If you have just divorced, you are likely ready for some relaxation and recovery time. Everyone needs a little break after a stressful, complicated experience, especially after a taxing process like divorce. While you may be ready to take a break from the lawyers, paperwork, and court dates you faced during your divorce, there is one last area to focus on before enjoying your newly single life – your finances. Life post-divorce can be vastly different from married life, so it is crucial that you move on with a solid understanding of your finances and a plan for the future.
Divorce can be a burden, both emotionally and financially. For those over 50, likely preparing for retirement, divorce can be financially destructive. Retirement plans can quickly unravel, assets can disappear, and many late in life divorcees, especially women, find themselves in poverty post divorce. Late in life divorces, often referred to as gray divorces, are on the rise in America. For those ages 55 to 64, the divorce rate has doubled since the 1990’s, and for those 65 and older, the rate has tripled. Today, around one in four couples over 50 years old divorce, and it is more important than ever that late in life divorcees plan accordingly for their future finances.
The start of each year is a great time to set new goals and let go of any past negativity. While moving past unresolved feelings towards your divorce can be difficult, your new, post divorce life can only begin to improve when you let go of any unnecessary negativity and move on. Millions of other people have divorced and recovered, and now, you should too. While thinking about putting your divorce behind you this year, here are a few strategies to consider:
Following a divorce, many individuals are anxious to put their previous relationship behind them and move forward. For some, this may mean reestablishing themselves as a single person and dating casually. Others may find themselves in another serious romantic relationship and heading toward remarriage. As with many aspects of a post-divorce situation, remarriage can present an interesting combination of emotions and experiences to those involved, especially for children and divorced parents with any type of shared custody arrangement. These emotions can intensify with the prospect of blended family situations, as well.
Many divorced parent can attest that their divorce was a difficult process. Even the most amicable situations still carry a level of stress and distrust between spouses, and often, the total upheaval of the life of their children. During a divorce, feelings of bitterness and betrayal are frequently most acute, and their effects may last for months and years. For divorcing parents, who now have to co-parent, it is extremely important to avoid projecting such emotions onto the children, regardless of intention.
There is little question that divorce stress can affect everyone involved. Both spouses, any children, mutual friends, and often extended families on both sides may be forced to deal with uncomfortable changes resulting from the split. According to a recent study, women may be more likely than men to experience a marked increase in stress and stress-related behaviors following a divorce or separation.
According to the Pew Research Center, nearly 42 million American adults have been married more than once. The current estimate has almost doubled from what it was in 1980, when 22 million reported having been remarried, and has tripled the 14 million figure from 1960. The increase in divorce throughout the United States over the last several decades has certainly been a factor, along with an upward shift in the average age of the population, both of which contribute to more individuals able to and interested in getting remarried.
Life can get very confusing and complicated for children of divorce. Even in the best of situations, children can often feel like mere assets to be divided by their parents like furniture or cars. Regardless of how you feel about your ex during and after the divorce, it is extremely important that your children’s comfort and well-being are not overlooked.
If you have children and are going through a divorce, separation, or are not married to your children’s mother/father, you know that custody and visitation issues can be difficult. Understanding your rights and the reasons behind the laws is an important step to making an ultimate decision.

Before she stepped in the pitcher’s circle for her final season at Oaks Christian, Kiana Quolas was waiting to see which college would make the best pitch to the senior standout.
For Quolas, that offer came over the weekend during her official visit to Coastal Carolina.
The 5-foot-6 pitcher, who transferred to Oaks Christian following her freshman year at Oxnard, gave her verbal commitment to play softball for the Chanticleers.
“I’m really happy to know where I’m going and relieved the recruiting process is over, so I can enjoy my senior year,” Quolas said. “After all the long hours and hard practices, it really feels like it’s worth it.”
Quolas, an all-West region first-team selection by Louisville Slugger and the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, has a .442 average (87 for 197) with 61 runs, 69 RBIs and 13 home runs during her two seasons at Oaks Christian.
A member of the Victory USA Gold 18-under travel ball team, Quolas also boasts a 1.06 ERA with 297 strikeouts in 236<MD+,%30,%55,%70>2/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>3 innings for the Lions.
La Canada volleyball gets rematch with Mater Dei
As soon as the La Canada girls’ volleyball team got past La Salle in Saturday’s quarterfinals of the Gahr/Molten Classic, Spartans coach Brock Turner wasted little time in making it known that he’d like another shot at Mater Dei in the semifinals.
Turner got his wish and LaCanada, ranked No. 2 in Southern Section Div. II-AA, will get an opportunity for revenge at 6:30 p.m. today against the Monarchs – ranked No. 8 in Div. I-AA – at Gahr High.
The Spartans squandered a two-game lead in last year’s third-place match and lost 11-25, 20-25, 25-21, 25-23, 18-16.
“We have little things we need to work on (from Saturday), but they’re all fixable things,” Turner said. “The most important thing we have is we believe. They might be young, but they play like a very mature team. They work hard and they continue to fight, no matter who they’re playing.”
Los Alamitos, the top-ranked team in Div. I-AA, faces Lakewood – ranked No. 9 in Div.I-AA – in the other semifinal. The third-place match is 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Gahr, with the final scheduled for 8p.m.
Burroughs takes on Gahr, Chaminade faces Sonora and Flintridge Sacred Heart battles South Torrance, all at 4 p.m.
Viewpoint volleyball off to unexpected fast start
Following the graduation of five seniors, including outside hitter Blaire Berka and middle blocker Jordan Larsen, Viewpoint girls’ volleyball coach Frank Pontello anticipated some early growing pains this season.
But the Patriots showed impressive growth Friday and Saturday at the Laguna Blanca tournament, rebounding from a pool-play loss to St. Bonaventure to defeat the Seraphs 25-22 in Saturday’s rematch and capture the title.
“This gives them a big boost of confidence,” Viewpoint coach Frank Pontello said. “I was pleased to see so many good things this early in the season.”
Viewpoint suffered a 25-23, 25-21 loss Friday to St. Bonaventure, but knocked off Laguna Blanca and Arrowhead Christian in the playoffs before prevailing in the championship rematch. Junior right-side hitter Angelica Luczak was selected MVP and junior setter Stella Carnegie received all-tournament honors.
“They’re intelligent kids and they’re able to pull it together once they see a team the second time,” Pontello said. “We blocked a lot better and made a lot less serving errors. We cleaned it up on our side.”
Viewpoint will face another tough challenge at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday against Louisville.
Familiar result for Glendale women’s team in Fresno
Nearly 10 months since winning the junior college state championship, the Glendale College women’s cross country team returned to Woodward Park and captured the title Friday at the Fresno Invitational.
Behind three runners placing in the top 10, the Vaqueros held off Mt. San Antonio College 50-52.
Former Saugus standout Keri Molt placed fourth on the 5-kilometer course in 19 minutes, 21 seconds, followed by Burroughs alumnae Angie Martinez in fifth at 19:30.
Granada Hills graduate Diana Sanchez was ninth (19:34), Saugus alumnae Brianna Jauregui took 13th (19:44) and Arcadia grad Catlin Kelly finished 21st (20:06).

What an amazing day! Today we flew to our boys' birth city, and experienced a bit of their culture and some interesting things along the way! But let me back up and give the day's details.
Even though I took Nyquil last night, I didn't sleep very well. Throughout the night, a man up on the hill at the Orthodox church kept chanting a call to prayer. The poor L family woke up at 2 am and couldn't get back to sleep.
After getting ready, packing our luggage, eating breakfast with the L's and W's, checking email, and playing with the kids for a bit, we headed to the airport for our flight to Gambella, along with the L family and Mathewos, who works in-country for AGCI.
Wass was there to meet us, and he loaded all of our luggage onto the top of the van. We also met Yilma, the director of Brothers and Sisters Care Center, and Ochar, pastor of Bethel church. I had brought photos for each of these men from the mission group that was here in April/May, and they enjoyed looking through them. They especially loved the photos that I had collected and printed of all the Brothers and Sisters alumni kids.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to apparatus for the measurement of the quantity of oxygen, or other relatively strong paramagnetic gas, in a gaseous mixture by use of its magnetic susceptibility through its effect on the induced motion of a test body in a magnetic field.
2. The Prior Art
The measurement of oxygen via its paramagnetic susceptibility has been known since the middle of the 19th century when Faraday showed that all materials interacted with a magnetic field. Gases were found in general to be repelled by a magnetic field and we described as being diamagnetic, whilst oxygen and some other gases were found to be attracted to a magnetic field and called paramagnetic. The very high paramagnetism of oxygen enabled its measurement by magnetic susceptibility techniques.
Two principal methods were originally developed for implementation of this technique. One was to employ a uniform magnetic field whilst the other employed the non-uniform field as originally described by Faraday. An example of the former technique is given by L. G. Gouy in Compt. Rend. Vol. 109 (1885) 935 while an example of the latter is given by P. W. Selwood in Magnetometry 2nd Edition, 1993, Interscience N/Y London 1956. The bulky and delicate nature of these instruments led to the development of further apparatus amongst which the most successful were those based on the original Faraday gas susceptibility balance. In these designs a test body of well defined shape is suspended inside a gas cell. The test body is made of materials, such as quartz, which have a low value of diamagnetic susceptibility and is suspended such that a strong non-uniform magnetic field is present across it. When the paramagnetic gas enters the test cell the gas tends to move to congregate at the point of strongest magnetic field causing a change in the position of the test body which can be measured and related to the concentration of paramagnetic gas in the cell.
Several forms of test body have been investigated including the commonly used dumbbell (e.g. G. C. Haven, Physical Review Vol. 41 (1932) 337) and also with modifications using a flattened structure (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 3,815,018). Some other patents using dumbbell based designs for Faraday balances include U.S. Pat. No. 2,416,344 and U.S. Pat. No. 2,962,656. The apparatus described by these and other patents are similar in that all of them employ an optical method to detect the rotation of the dumbbell as the magnetic nature of the gas in the test cell is altered. Although in some cases a feedback system was employed in order to produce a null balance system, by electromagnetism, by electrostatic means (U.S. Pat. No. 3,026,472) and by variation of the magnetic field (U.S. Pat. No. 3,879,658) all of these techniques still required the use of optical means to provide the final measurement.
Non optical detection systems have also been disclosed that employ extra components to detect the rotation of the test body. These include the use of magneto-resistive pickup (GB-A-1 220 413), employment of separate high frequency excitation and pickup coils (U.S. Pat. No. 3,714,557), and capacitive sensing of the rotation, (U.S. Pat. No. 3,612,991). In these cases the use of an optical detection method has been replaced by the use of an alternative but in each case the new measurement technique is an additional system to the basic susceptibility balance and acts as an alternative to the optics.
WO92/05436 described an alternative arrangement for the measurement of the proportion of a paramagnetic gas not requiring the additional detection system extra to the basic susceptibility balance. In particular, it proposed that a test element should be made to vibrate in a varying magnetic field by the application of a current through the test element and where the electrical conductors used to apply the current to cause the current to cause oscillation were also used to sense the subsequent oscillation of the elements in the magnetic field. As described in that document, certain parameters of the oscillation, such as damping and frequency, are dependent on the proportion of the paramagnetic gas in the cell and therefore this proportion can be determined from measurements of the ongoing oscillation.
The present invention provides apparatus for the measurement of the proportion of paramagnetic gas in a gas mixture comprising a chamber to which said gas mixture may be admitted, means arrange to generate, within such chamber, a gradient magnetic field, a test element and means arranged to mount said test element in said gradient magnetic field such that the test element may rotationally oscillate about an axis, wherein said mounting means comprises electrical conductor means arranged to carry current to and from said test element whereby current may be applied to said test element to cause oscillation thereof and whereby EMF generated by movement of the test element in said gradient magnetic field may be measured.
The present invention therefore advantageously provides a gas sensor cell of simple construction in that there is no need to provide additional sensing elements to monitor the movement of the test element. This is because the same conductors which pass the current to cause the oscillation of the test element are used as the input to a sensing means which, by way of the generated EMF, can determine the characteristics of the oscillation of the element. From the variation in these characteristics the proportion of paramagnetic gas in the cell may be determined.
The present invention therefore utilizes principles set out in WO 92/05436, but has the advantage of using, in the preferred embodiment, well known gas sensor elements in its construction and also the number of degrees of freedom of movement of the test element is limited which considerably simplifies the required driving and sensing circuitry.
The present invention will be better understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment given by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a gas sensor cell according to the preferred embodiment;
FIGS. 2A and 2B show one preferred arrangement for mounting the dumbbell in the sensor cell;
FIG. 3 shows an alternative mounting arrangement;
FIG. 4 illustrates the attachment of the mounting strip to the mounting elements; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of apparatus utilizing the gas sensor cell of FIG. 1.
In general terms, in the invention a gas measurement cell has a measurement element suspended to oscillate about a suspension axis in a magnetic field. A coil which oscillates with the element may have electrical signals applied to it to initiate oscillation and also provides an output whereby the frequency of oscillation can be measured.
In general terms, the invention employs a test body suspended in a magnetic field to determine the paramagnetic portion of a mixture of gases using the electrical element in the test body as the active component in the measurement.
More particularly the apparatus described herein allows for the measurement of the effect of variation in a gas sample's susceptibility on a test body 1 suspended within a non-uniform magnetic field without the use of either optical sensors or additional detector components. Referring to FIG. 1, test body 1 is in the form of a dumbbell and comprises two spheres 1 a made from materials of low magnetic susceptibility. The test body is suspended in a strong non-uniform magnetic field produced by the magnets 2 by a strip of known torque constant 3. The strip 3 is joined to the test body 1 such that it connects to a single turn of an electrical conductor (a coil) 4 around the test body as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The whole of this assembly is mounted in a gas chamber 5 to allow control of the gases presented to the apparatus.
In operation a drive signal is supplied to the dumbbell 1 via the strip 3 to the coil 4. This signal may be either continuous or pulsed but is set so as to cause the electromagnetic forces generated between the current in the coil and the non-uniform magnetic field to cause the dumbbell to start rotating around an axis defined by supporting strip 3. The magnitude of the excitation is set so as to cause the rotation to stay well within the linear torque value range of the strip which is typically less than a 50° degree arc. As a result of the magnetic field a force is applied to the dumbbell whose magnitude can be calculated by:
where F is the force, H the magnetic field strength, dH/dx is the gradient of the magnetic field strength, V the volume, X0, the magnetic susceptibility of the test body and Xs the susceptibility of the gas surrounding the dumbbell.
The natural frequency of the suspension is described by:
where f is the frequency of oscillation, I is the rotational inertia of the system, L is the effective length of the mounting strip and K is the restoring torque value, which is a combination of the torque value of strip 3 and the force generated according to equation 1.
When the gas surrounding the dumbbell is changed from a weak diamagnetic gas, e.g. nitrogen, to a paramagnetic one, e.g. an oxygen mixture, the value of Xs in equation 1 alters, thus altering the force applied to the test element. This causes an alteration in the rest position of the test element. Further, this causes an alteration in the value of K in equation 2, in turn causing the natural frequency of the suspension to change. These two effects are additive in terms of the frequency shift. Referring to equation 2 above, the values of I and L are known parameters of the system in question, and accordingly, on measuring the value of f, the value of K can be established as:
As mentioned above, K is a combination of the torque value of strip 3 and the force f generated by equation 1. The exact relationship between K and f is therefore a function of the apparatus and can be either empirically measured or theoretically determined. It can therefore be taken that:
Where “f” is a function which represents the established relationship between F and K. Referring then to equation 1 above, the values of X,H, dH/dx and V are again known parameters of the system in question and accordingly, combining equations 1 and 4, the value of Xs can be determined:
From the value of Xs, the proportion of paramagnetic, oxygen gas can be calculated in a conventional fashion.
The coil 4 is used both to induce the rotational motion, when driven with a suitable electrical signal, as described above and to detect the said motion by using the EMF induced into the coil as it sweeps through the magnetic field. As the magnitude of the EMF is proportional to the equivalent frequency of rotation of the dumbbell it can be seen from the above that a measurement of the sample's magnetic susceptibility can be obtained without the use of optical or other independent measurement components.
The signal used to induce motion of the dumbbell may either be continuous or a finite period repetitive one. The signal generated by the system may then be detected by either: 1) changes in frequency (such as if the device is driven by a free running oscillator); 2) amplitude (such as when the device is driven with fixed frequency pulses and the coupling of a signal to induce motion that will be proportional to the frequency difference between that of the source and the dumbbell; 3) shape (comparing a reference signal with that produced by the sensor; or 4) any method by which an AC electrical signal may be compared to another.
FIGS. 2A and 2B and 3 illustrate particularly preferred mounting arrangements for the dumbbell shown in FIG. 1 in which corresponding reference numerals to those used in FIG. 1 identify corresponding parts and which are discussed in more detail in the following.
In FIGS. 2A and 2B, which shows front and rear views respectively of one preferred mounting arrangement, dumbbell 1 is mounted as before, by strips 3 attached to central element 6, on which spheres 1 a are mounted. Central element 6 is simply a structured part. One of strips 3 is attached to fixed mounting element 10.
The other of strips 3 is fixed to a central point of flexible spring 12 by way of mounting element 14. This arrangement enables changes in dimensions which arise with temperature variation due to differences in thermal expansion coefficients between the materials of the frame, dumbbell and mounting strip to be accommodated. In particular, flexing of spring 12 allows such changes to occur without the position of the dumbbell in the magnetic field changing substantially and while maintaining any required tension in strip 3.
The position of the dumbbell in the field significantly affects the behaviour of the sensor and therefore it is important that it be maintained. While it may be possible to match the temperature coefficients of the various materials, the arrangement described above is considerably more simple.
The spring 12 is mounted at positions 16 a, 16 b. In the arrangement of FIGS. 2A and 2B, the spring is fixed to mount 16 a while simply resting against mount 16 b such that it is permitted to flex as required.
FIG. 3 shows a further alternative mounting arrangement in a cell. As in FIGS. 2A and 2B, one of the strips 3 is mounted to a flexible spring 12, but in this case the fixed mounting of the other of strip 3 is by way of a fisher mounting 14 to fixed bar 18. This enables each end of strips 3 to be fixed using the same form of mounting element 14, a preferred form of which will be discussed below.
In a further alternative, fixed bar 18 in FIG. 3 may be replaced by a second spring 12 so as to provide an entirely symmetrical mounting arrangement for the test body.
FIG. 4 illustrates in more detail the attachment of mounting elements such as elements 10 and 14, to the strips 3, in the arrangement of FIGS. 2A and 2B. Mounting element 10 is provided with two flat portions 11. The mounting strip 3 passes between two flat parts 11 of mounting element 10 and passes out beyond them. Correspondingly element 14 has two flat portions 15 between which strip 3 passes. The strip 3 can then be pulled to set the tension correctly and then finally fixed by welding together the two flat parts of each mounting element with the strip between.
Such a sandwich weld has considerable advantages over simply welding the strip to one face of the flat parts. The thickness of the strip 3 is typically of the order of several μm while the thickness of the flat parts may be tens of hundreds of μm. The welding of two such differently sized pieces is difficult without heat damaging the thinner strip. The use of the sandwich form as illustrated reduces such problems and also ensures that any heat damaged portion of the strip is within the joint. This ensures that the portion of the ship which is part of the twisting motion of the sensor is not heat damaged.
Preferably, for instance in mounting the strip to spring 12 the mount 14 is made integrally with the spring 12 and the flat parts 15 of the joint 14 are formed as flaps on spring 12 and folded as necessary to form mount 14.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating one possible way in which the cell described above may be incorporated into complete apparatus which measures the paramagnetic gas proportion in a gas sample as mentioned above. The apparatus illustrated in FIG. 5 can be considered in two sections, a measurement section 50 and an input/output section 70.
Measurement section principally comprises a gas cell 100 of the type described in detail above and a microcontroller 60. Microcontroller 60 controls the electrical operation of cell 100, while the gas to be analysed is passed through the measurement chamber in a well known manner. Cell 100 simply has two electrical connections which connect to respective ends of strip 3. As described above, by way of these two connections, the operation of the cell may be driven and also sensed. As illustrated, one of the connections 102 is simply connected to ground.
In order to excite the cell 100, a suitable input, such as a pulse, is applied to connection 104 by the microcontroller 60, by way of connection 62. The ensuing oscillating output is applied to input 64 of microcontroller 60 by way of amplifier 66 and signal conditioning means 67, which are provided with appropriate feedback means 68. The signal is conditioned such that the signal input at input 64 is of a generally square profile such that microcontroller 60 can easily work with the signal.
According to one mode of operation, when the system is switched on a number of pulses are applied to cell 100 in order to cause the dumbbell to oscillate. Subsequently, in order to track and maintain the oscillation of the dumbbell, the time after the application of each pulse until the next zero crossing at input 64 is measured, and pulses are applied at the rate of once per cycle to maintain the oscillation. When the natural frequency of oscillation changes as a result of changes in the gas mixture, this affects the measured time to the zero crossing and hence such changes are tracked by the microcontroller 20. In this way, the natural oscillation frequency f mentioned above is measured by microcontroller 20.
As discussed in relation to equations (1)-(5), in addition to the value of f it is also necessary to know other system parameters in order to perform the appropriate calculations. In the arrangement illustrated in FIG. 5 there is provided a memory device 52, for instance in the form of an EEPROM, which has stored in it the values of the cell characteristics discussed above. Given these, and the measured value of f, microcontroller 20 calculates the value of Xs in accordance with equation (5). As is well known, this gives a direct measure of the proportion of oxygen, or other paramagnetic gas, present in the gas mixture being measured.
As mentioned above, the apparatus in FIG. 5 also includes an input/output section 70. In its simplest form this comprises a display means 72 which gives a visual display for example of the proportion of oxygen as determined by the microcontroller 20. Additionally, the input/output section 70 may provide for a communications link 74, e.g. an RS 232 connection, to enable data to be provided to a suitable computer such as a PC. As illustrated, input/output section 70 also includes switch means 76 which control the operation of the device.
As illustrated, FIG. 5 is simply one exemplary form of control for the cell described in detail above, and many variations are possible.

'Don't Tase Me, Bro' chosen most memorable quote
University of Florida student Andrew Meyer's plea to Taser-wielding campus police spawned a host of T-shirts and cyberspace traffic jams on YouTube. Now comes this history-making distinction: most memorable quote of 2007. The folks with the Yale Book of Quotations have chosen "Don't tase me, bro" as their quote of the year, saying it symbolizes the influence and speed of pop culture. Just a couple of days after officers stunned Meyer following his disruption of a campus speech by U.S. Sen. John Kerry, footage of the Sept. 17 incident was all over the Internet, and people were sporting the phrase on T-shirts. Meyer had some tough competition from the likes of Sen. Larry "(I have) a wide stance" Craig and Alberto "I don't recall" Gonzales.
Paint-the-model stunt was a test of taste
The March of Dimes fundraiser in Palm Beach has a reputation as one of the season's wildest. Past events featured belly dancers and a donkey auction. At this year's $500-a-plate soiree, held Friday, a model was wheeled into the ballroom on a bed, covered in a sheet, as the sound track to the James Bond film Goldfinger played, the Palm Beach Post reported. She stood up to reveal nothing but a thong, as a tux-wearing male artist painted her gold. Some patrons stormed out. "It was a faux pas, and we'll learn from it," event co-chair Annie Falk told the Post.
Jeffery Chalmers Reeb died Tuesday after riding a Disney World roller coaster. An Associated Press story in Wednesday's paper gave the wrong name.

And who wouldn't be?! All those pretty butterflies and colours, and the gorgeous new Charms Creations that include printed wood veneer butterflies just finish the job off.
So this is what I came up with:
I found some perfect paper in my collection, from Studio Calico's Print Shop collection. The colours and even some butterfly paper were a perfect match. I also found some die cut butterflies from some Crate Paper and Studio Calico collections I had in my stash. I was pretty set!
Check out the title! Pretty sweet isn't it?! I have been playing with foiling and I think that I am in love! I am using the laser printer and laminator method and it works a treat (check out Jennifer McGuire's you tube videos if you want to see how it works). I even took it up a notch and did the title as a print and cut from my Silhouette software. So pretty!
Add in a few pretties to make a little cluster. Can you spy the D-lish goodies? The paper flower, Pink Fresh Studio chevron wood drop and coloured doily.
How gorgeous is this butterfly lollipop from Charms Creations. I just love that I could add a touch of orange to my page with this. I also used some punched out butterflies from the paper with some glass cabochons from D-lish Scraps to make some great extra embellishments.
Isn't this die cut butterfly the perfect addition?! The colours and everything!
Throw in a few sequins and finish the page off! Sequins are a great way to add something extra to your page.
So that is my take on the mid month challenge. Why don't you have a go! Check out the shop here too if you want your very own Charms Creations with a pretty butterfly.
Thanks for stopping by,


Trump is the first US president to be impeached twice and the first to face trial after leaving office. If convicted, the Senate could then vote to bar him from running for office again.
Democrats were unimpressed by the presentation.
"Let me decide if he's guilty or not," Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy told reporters when asked if he could vote for Trump again.
Was the fact that he covered his head while drinking also because he is an Orthodox Jew?
The request was made by Trump's lead defense lawyer David Schoen, and Senator Chuck Schumer, who is also Jewish, agreed to accommodate him.
Trump last week became the first president in US history to be impeached twice, and when the Senate convenes for his trial will be the first president to be tried after leaving office.
"If in fact it is found that members of Congress were accomplices to this insurrection, if they aided and abetted the crimes, there may have to be actions taken beyond the Congress, in terms of prose
“We have a system of justice predicated on certain constitutional rights, which make this country different from every country in the world,”
"In her ears I’ll sing my cries / Until she opens her eyes," the House Speaker quoted Manor, who is considered to be Israel's greatest lyricist.
Calls to remove Trump from office have been growing louder following the Capitol riots.

A pending public purchase of a roughly 16-acre parcel in Springs and allowing the site to be subdivided and developed, with an eight-acre, private reserved area, are not the same thing at all. Yet that is what some in the hamlet and a committee that advises the East Hampton Town Board appear to believe.
The land is at 115 Neck Path and has a house roughly in its center. The issue is whether $2.7 million from the town’s community preservation fund should be used to buy it. The owners are willing to sell to the town, but at the same time are seeking approval for a three-lot subdivision.
The perspective of those who are against the deal is that the subdivision, if approved, would set aside ample open space and that the town’s buying the land would remove it from the tax rolls. It’s kind of a have-your-cake-and-eat-it too idea.
We think the property must instead become public land in its entirety and the house that is on it now should be removed.
East Hampton residents have several times shown their support at the ballot box for the community preservation fund. Among its goals are retaining and improving the town’s environment and character, as well as limiting development. Money in the fund comes from a 2-percent tax on a portion of most real estate transactions, and thanks to the newly booming market and several years in which spending lagged, there is plenty of cash in hand and then some. According to the town, East Hampton’s C.P.F. income last year had reached well into pre-Great Recession levels, and there is no sign of a slowdown. The money is there; what will not be there forever is suitable places to spend it.
The land at 115 Neck Path would appear to satisfy several of the qualifications listed as the town’s C.P.F. program goals. These include woodland preservation, groundwater protection, and adding to greenbelts and trails. As to the point about taxes, development over time costs municipalities more than does leaving land alone. Springs already has the highest residential density of all the town’s hamlets — and adding to that would be counterproductive.
The acreage is roughly rectangular, extending to the back of the secluded Shaaray Pardes Accabonac Grove Cemetery. It is important to note that it is sandwiched between two town-owned lots, one of which shares a property line with another that reaches to Old Stone Highway. If the deal closes, there would be some 66 acres of open space in all there, extending from Old Stone to Neck Path in an area right smack in the middle of the Accabonac Creek watershed.
Regarding C.P.F. purchases in general and this property in particular, there is much to be said for maintaining and preserving contiguous woodlands. It is a conservation axiom that fragmented forests are less than optimal habitat for many wild species.
For the town board to agree with the Springs group that allowing three houses there is the same as saving and restoring the land would be to undermine the preservation fund itself. The deal should go ahead as planned.

What Health Issues Are Caused By Hormones?
Your endocrine system, which is the collection of glands in your body that produce hormones, is just like a symphony orchestra. If one gland is overworked and “out of tune,” your body’s harmony can be thrown off.
Fortunately (but kinda unfortunately), our body doesn’t hesitate to send us signs like acne and weight gain or loss to let us know that something isn’t quite right. Here are 5 surprising health issues that you can blame you hormones for:
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract, which include the bladder and the urethra. Hormones, specifically estrogen, are the culprit behind why you have recurrent UTIs (what a b****!). Estrogen triggers the production of the body’s natural antimicrobial proteins in the bladder, so low levels of estrogen makes the urinary track vulnerable to infection. Hence, UTIs!
Tip: Make sure to pee after sex to help cleanse the urethra from harmful bacteria! Plus, avoid high sugar foods (a.k.a. carbs) because a sweet urine is the best environment for bacteria to grow.
Luckily, most young women don’t have to worry about this until they enter the next phase of womanhood, a.k.a. menopause! Estrogen and progesterone affect how your cells respond to insulin. After menopause, changes in your hormone levels can trigger fluctuations in your blood sugar level. If your blood sugar gets out of control, you have a higher risk of diabetes complications.
Tip: Not only do high blood sugar levels cause diabetes, they can also contribute to urinary tract and vaginal infections. So it wouldn’t hurt to lay off the sweets! Try some fruit instead.
Who knew that your hormones affect your breathing 🤷 In this case, estrogen itself isn’t the culprit, but rather its fluctuations within the body. Fluctuating estrogen levels can activate proteins that produce an inflammatory response, which can trigger asthma symptoms.
Tip: Ladies, always use maintenance medication, at the direction of your doctor, instead of relying on rescue inhalers. It’s far more important for lung health to prevent symptoms, instead of treating symptoms once they have started.
Women have certain health advantages, but osteoporosis sure isn’t one of them. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle. Bone production is affected by both testosterone and estrogen, so both men and women can experience bone loss as they age. However, the risk is higher in women because women tend to have smaller, thinner bones than men, and estrogen, which preserve bone density, decreases sharply when women reach menopause.
Tip: In order to prevent osteoporosis, make sure to get enough calcium and vitamin D, and eat a well-balanced diet!
Alopecia is a type of hair loss commonly called male- or female-pattern baldness. For many years, scientists thought that testosterone was the main culprit behind alopecia. However, it was actually dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, instead. DHT wants those follicles dead like Lord Voldemort wanted Harry Potter (for my fellow Potter fans out there, *wink*). DHT shrinks hair follicles, making it impossible for healthy hair to survive.
Tip: Eat healthy foods like protein and omega-3 rich foods (nuts, seeds, eggs, and fish). They can help lower inflammation and promote a healthier scalp!
Hormones play a bigger part in our health than they are given credit for. That’s why it’s important for you to educate yourself about it early! Aavia is here to feature tips and hormone facts to keep you informed about your hormone health.
