We’ve got a large collection of the latest and greatest Honda models, and we’ve proven time and again that our customer service can’t be beat; just ask any of our thousands of happy customers!
The 2015 Honda CR-V is ready for action, take a look at how this SUV fares against the Nissan Rogue.
Power and Fuel Efficiency
Under the hood of the 2015 Honda CR-V, you’ll find a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, which is very similar in size to the Nissan Rogue’s 2.5-liter inline four. Don’t let their similarities hoodwink you, though, the CR-V’s four-cylinder is capable of producing 185 horsepower while the Rogue can only muster 170 horsepower. The CR-V produces 181 lb-ft. of torque at 3,900 RPM, while the Rogue only achieves 175 lb-ft. of torque at 4,400 RPM. Honda estimates the 2015 CR-V to earn 27 city/34 highway mpg with front-wheel drive and 26 city/33 highway mpg in all-wheel drive configurations. The Rogue can’t match those numbers; even in front-wheel drive configurations Nissan’s crossover SUV only earns 26 city/33 highway mpg.
Capacity and Towing
The Nissan Rouge might be a larger vehicle in terms of exterior size, but the 2015 Honda CR-V beats it soundly when it comes to cargo capacity. With all rows of seating in place, the CR-V offers 35.2 cu.ft. of space for cargo, which opens up to 70.9 cu.ft. when the rear seat is folded down. The Rogue only offers 32 cu.ft. with its rear seats in place and 70 cu.ft. when the rear seat is folded. The CR-V is capable of towing up to 1,500 pounds in a trailer while the Rogue can only take on a maximum of 1,000 pounds.
A wealth of safety equipment comes standard on all 2015 Honda CR-V models and includes great active systems like vehicle stability assistance with traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and daytime running lights. Honda also included numerous passive safety systems, like a suite of advanced airbags, the LATCH child-seat safety system, and seatbelt reminders for the driver and front passenger seats.
Hit the city streets or the dusty trail with ease and peace of mind in the 2015 Honda CR-V. This compact SUV makes a great pick as your next vehicle and Brandon Honda of Tampa, FL is ready to help you find your own!

One thing to keep in mind Derby week is that race horse handicappers are full of it, part of it being the ability to press on in the slow wake of lousy picks. There has never been a group of people as proficient as handicappers when it comes to forgetting that a key selection ran like Lassie.
Pickers are like refs and meteorologists: What bad call?
There should be one place where you can’t treat all mistakes like the yesterday’s fish scraps: picking.
There’s no suicide in horse race handicapping. But there should be a hint of accountability. If you don’t admit a mistake, what’s to learn?
Accountability works on a sliding scale. If you tout a favorite that has no trouble and runs poorly, you owe it to viewers and readers to show up on the town square in your underwear with only a Form in tow, ready to answer each and all handicapping questions. Pick a long shot and an “Oops” could suffice.
Here’s the point. Less than two weeks to the Derby, opinions are like the hail that fell on me and my car three nights ago, with mini-meteorite-like chunks the size of big league chaws of tobacco pelting my skull and keeping me from running the car into some shrubbery for protection: too many opinions can be harmful.
From now until the post, you’ll hear dozens of stories originating straight from the mouths of some trainers, whose knowledge of their horses has nothing to do with objective handicapping.
Derby week is also prime time for doomsday stories about the horse racing industry, about how wagering is down, about how nobody goes to the live races anymore, about how newer and younger fans are needed. Date night at the track, wouldn’t that be cute. Guess what. The last few years, most everything is down. Try to fill your gas tank. Here’s something that’s not sinking, slot machine profits going to tracks. Here’s something else that’s not down, purses at tracks receiving slot machine profits. And here’s why so few go to the live races: simulcast or remote betting. What percentage of horse race tracks have closed recently? Only Blue Ribbon Downs in the Oklahoma sticks a couple of years ago. Is that about it? Who wouldn’t want it to be years ago, the guys in fedoras at packed live racing grandstands, before casinos began taking shape almost overnight. Take into account the off-track action today, and you’d have the stands overflowing again. If the drugging of horses has become such a factor in the business, handicap it, find the crooks yourself. Today is speedier than used to be the case. And what are we doing with the extra time, playing slots? Here’s how they’re selling the latest smart phones: You can break up with your girl or boyfriend quicker than ever before. You can start a car from overseas. Unnecessary excess, get some, hurry, before it’s gone.
Already today I have heard that trendy horse Nehro can’t lose, that surgery agreed with The Factor, that this trainer told that trainer that the Florida Derby was a complete throw-out.
I’m one lucky picker. Last fall in this space, I hit the Superfecta it the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile, listing horses one through four in the precise order in which they finished, the payoff coming in at around $600. Anybody hitting a Super in print for a global audience gets a grace period on hitting another one. It doesn’t mean I won’t try next week. It does mean I have a very nice yeah-but.
From now to the Derby post, the horse player is apt to hear dozens of great-sounding theories, save for the fact that the ones putting forth the plans may have just run zero for 50.
Before works, gate draws and the weather, what’s to pick? I’ll make it a little easier on the person who can’t wait. Here’s who I like today. Nobody

The title of a June 1, 2018 ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) news release, concisely highlights how insane sanctuary policies senselessly endanger public safety:
3-month review shows how New York City’s failure to honor immigration detainers leads to hundreds of dangerous criminals released — Many of those released offended again.
Here are the first two paragraphs of this press release:
NEW YORK — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in New York conducted a three-month review of detainers lodged with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and New York Department of Corrections (NYDOC) to determine the type of criminal aliens who have been released from custody without ICE being notified. Detainers are ICE’s request to a local law enforcement agency to notify ICE when an alien in custody will be released.
Within the three months, from January to mid-April this year, ICE prepared more than 440 detainers against aliens booked by NYPD or NYDOC. Nearly 40 individuals who were released from custody, reoffended and were again arrested for crimes by local law enforcement officers.
This ICE news release comes on the heels of the unbelievable statements of Nancy Pelosi in which she attacked President Trump for characterizing members of MS-13 as “Animals” which I wrote about in a recent article.
Clearly Pelosi is not alone is showing contempt for victims of crime while defending extremely violent transnational gang members. In point of fact, mayors of so-called Sanctuary Cities and governors of Sanctuary States are going well beyond vitriolic rhetoric to defend criminal aliens, they have implemented policies to obstruct ICE agents from identifying, arresting seeking the deportation of criminal aliens from the United States.
According to the ICE news release, the NYPD will only cooperate with ICE if the aliens for whom detainers were lodged if those aliens have convictions for crimes that NYC official decide are sufficiently egregious.
These dangerous and nonsensical policies engager public safety by enabling these criminal aliens to remain at large where, all too often, the prey on additional victims.
These policies also attract criminal aliens and fugitives to these cities so that they should really be called “Magnet Cities.” Let’s not forget that Kate Steinle’s killer unhesitatingly stated that he repeatedly returned to San Francisco after being deported because of that city’s sanctuary policies.
The term “Turnstile Justice” generally refers to the way that criminals are arrested and are quickly returned to the street where they continue to threaten public safety and commit acts of violence on still more victims, perhaps even the previous victims of their crimes, to intimidate them from testifying against them in court.
Where aliens criminals are concerned, however, there is a lawful alternative, harnessing the immigration laws to make certain that alien criminals would be deported to bring their criminal activities to a screeching halt.
Several months ago as I prepared to write a commentary about how immigration anarchists, such as the mayors of so-called “Sanctuary Cities” were undermining border security and immigration law enforcement, I thought of relating this another sort of “turnstile justice” and how, under former NYC Mayor Giuliani, the NYPD was able to reduce crime in the city’s subways by arresting subway riders who jumped the turnstiles to avoid paying for their rides.
This coincided with former NYC Mayor Giuliani’s “Broken Windows” approach to law enforcement of going after the relatively minor crimes to set the tone and sending the message that no crimes are acceptable.
A number of news reports noted that many “fare beaters” were wanted for other crimes.
By an amazing and frustrating coincidence, on February 10, 2018 the Associated Press reported, Turnstile justice? Manhattan eases up on fare jumpers that began with this excerpt:
NEW YORK (AP) — Fare beaters who hopped over grimy subway turnstiles back in the early 1990s were the first targets of a policing strategy that went after the smallest offenses and was credited with helping to drive crime down to record lows.
So now, a new policy to halt the prosecution of turnstile jumpers in Manhattan has some city officials and riders questioning it as a foolhardy turning back of the clock.
“The New York transit system is facing major problems already,” said Dottie Jeffries, 67, a daily subway rider who was just getting off the train in Greenwich Village. “And not caring about whether someone pays … sets a tone of permissiveness that could cause more trouble.”
It is also believed that this wacky decision was based on the fact that many illegal aliens were also avoiding the fares. With the ongoing love fest between immigration anarchists and illegal aliens, the needs of the illegal aliens are clearly the priority for NYC, a bastion of anarchy.
Sanctuary policies also ignore that alien sleeper agents, that is to say, terrorists who are hiding in plain sight, who violate the immigration laws to enter the United States and remain in the United States, but are scrupulously careful to not violate other laws to avoid calling attention to themselves.
This strategy was identified by the 9⁄11 Commission as is a key terrorist embedding tactic.
This an issue I also addressed in my recent article, Congressional Hearing: Iranian Sleeper Cells Threaten U.S. That article was predicated on an April 17, 2018 hearing conducted by the House Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee on the topic “State Sponsors Of Terrorism: An Examination Of Iran’s Global Terrorism Network.”
Meanwhile, New York City gets the lion’s share of federal money to protect the city and its residents from the omnipresent threat of additional terror attacks even as more victims of the 9⁄11 attacks continue to die from their exposure to toxins released when the World Trade Center collapsed.
The mainstream media have described sanctuary policies as being “pro-immigrant” when in reality, lawful immigrants require no protection from elements of the Department of Homeland Security that are engaged in the administration and enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws.
Indeed, lawful immigrant lives are placed at risk, not by ICE agents, as Ms Pelosi would have you believe, but by these anarchistic sanctuary policies that don’t deter crime, but encourage crime.
Consider that some cities, New York City included, have made it a practice to reduce certain felonies to misdemeanors to shield aliens, who are convicted of these crimes, from deportation (removal) from the United States.
The hypocrisy surrounding immigration is beyond the pale. As I have previously noted, while Chuck Schumer has called for passage of federal law that would deem trespassing on national landmarks and critical infrastructure a felony with a five year maximum prison sentence to deter this crime, it is the very same Chuck Schumer who insists that aliens who trespass on the United States should not only not be deported from the United States but rewarded with U.S. citizenship.
One of the most frequent invoked claim by advocates for sanctuary policies is the desire to “not separate families.”
Meanwhile the official website, New York State Domestic Violence Dashboard 2016 that provides a wide array of statistics included this expert concerning orders of protection for New York State and for New York City,
Family Court Orders of Protection: Of the 60,700 filings: Statewide: • 49,321 petitions (81 percent) were brought against non-intimate partner/other family members • 11,379 petitions (19 percent) were brought by intimate partners New York City: • 19,669 (82 percent) were brought against nonintimate partners/other family members • 4,337 (18 percent) were brought against intimate partners Rest of State: • 29,652 (81 percent) were petitions brought against non-intimate partners/other family • 7,042 (19 percent) of the dockets filed outside of NYC were petitions brought against intimate partners.
Amazingly temporary orders of protection were even issued to keep pets safe from violence. Consider this excerpt from that website:
Protections for Pets The number of temporary orders of protection issued in Family Court that included protection for companion animals totaled 536; this represented a 12 percent increase from 2015. There also was an increase in the number of final orders of protection, to 118 or 4 percent.
In the foregoing we have documented tens of thousands of instances where the courts in New York City and New York State ordered family members to stay away from each other to protect family members from violent relatives.
Do not these orders of protection separate families?
Of course they do, but then the lunacy of sanctuary policies have nothing to do with “family reunification or with protecting “immigrants.”
Furthermore, all though the statistics are not available, wouldn’t it be interesting to know how many illegal aliens have been issued such orders of protection? In such cases, deporting these criminals would not only protect public safety in general, but would particularly protect family members of vicious criminal aliens.
Insane sanctuary policies demonstrate that for immigration anarchists, achieving political objectives are far more important than are national security and protecting the lives of innocent victims of criminals, ignoring the obvious, that Sanctuary Cities Endanger – National Security and Public Safety.

Amnesty defines MBS era as darkest of Al Saud rulers
Amnesty International has called empowerment of Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman as the onset of the darkest era for Al Saud ruling in terms of human rights.
Share It :
Amnesty International has reportedly noted that the era of Mohammad Bin Salman has opened the darkest time in regards to human rights issues in the Arab kingdom.
The international organization announced that since empowerment of Mohammad Bin Salman in 2015 the country has seen massive crackdown on freedom of expression targeting human rights advocates and numerous people who have voiced their opposition in any form.
It added," All human rights or women rights advocates, independent journalists, authors and activists have been detained, unfairly sentenced or conditionally freed."
Among the sentences issued for these people are banning their travels or limiting their peaceful activities. Horrendous murder of dissent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the country's consulate in Istanbul in October 2018 is only one of the crimes committed by Al Saud against its critics.
Digital monitoring and targeting activists outside Saudi Arabia and via cyber space, controlled by Saudi government, has created an ambiance of fear and crackdown.
Amnesty International has announced in its previous report that illegal sentences and travel ban issued by Saudi authorities is another instance of crackdown by the government.
The report also says that the travel ban is a tactic by Saudi authorities to silence the critics both inside and outside the country, a decision which violates international human rights.
The organization has launched an international campaign titled "Lift-Travel-Ban" reasoning that Saudi authorities are using the arbitrary sentences as means to punish and control the activists, authors, journalists and their families in the Arab country and overseas.
The campaign has referred to the files of 30 human rights advocates who have received jail terms and whose travel ban will be implemented following the end of their prison terms.
It has also enumerated 39 activists whose family members have been banned from travel without official orders.
Lynn Maalouf, Deputy Director for Research in Amnesty International' Middle East and North Africa Regional Office said," The arbitrary use of travel ban by Saudi officials targeting activists and human rights advocates reveals the truth that the opposite voices are still silenced while Saudi authorities are claiming to pursue gradual reform in the Arab kingdom.
Maalouf said," Activists who dare to express criticism are not particularly favored by the authorities; therefore, they make the victims of illegal decisions and travel bans" calling on Saudi officials to lift all arbitrary travel bans and respect freedom of expression for all.
Activists living outside Saudi Arabia say that the emotional impacts of the decision have been the worst for them since they are not able to visit their families or their homeland as they are likely to be detained if they enter Saudi Arabia.

How to Move Your Pet to a New HomeWhether you are walking around the corner or throughout the country, your moving day checklist need to include how to make moving as safe and easy as possible for your pets. The chaos of packing up your house and moving into a brand-new one can be just as difficult for our furry (or flaky) member of the family as it is for us. The unexpected activity in their home and being introduced to an unknown environment can cause your pets a great deal of stress and anxiety. The following tips will help you prepare your animals in the past, during and after the relocate to ensure that the transition is as worry-free as possible for everyone, particularly your family pets!
Before the Move: Animal Preparation
If you are vacating the location, call your veterinarian so you can take your family pet's records and any prescription medications with you, and be sure your pet is up to date on vaccinations. Ask your veterinarian to supply one if you do not have an existing health certificate for your family pet handy during interstate travel. This file is needed to transport pets across state lines. This is also a great time to ask your veterinarian if they can advise another vet in your new community. After you move, make certain you update your animal's tags or microchip info with your brand-new address and contact number.
Prepare an easily-accessible moving-day set that consists of a gallon of water and enough pet food, kitty litter, toys and grooming tools to sustain your animal and keep him (or her) comfy throughout the very first few days of unpacking. Place short-term ID tags with your new address and phone number, or a cell phone number, on your animal's collar.
Numerous animals haven't spent much time in automobiles or dog crates. In the months or weeks leading up to the relocation slowly accustom them to their cages by putting their food within, and start carrying them around your house or take them on a short drive in their crates.
While moving with a pet typically refers to moving with a cat or canine, they are not the only animals who require extra care when relocating to a new environment. Each year, millions of families move with their favorite tarantula, iguana, fish, bird or other exotic pet. Here is a quick breakdown of what is required to move pets other than pets or cats:
Fish-- fish respond strongly to stress and a move can be traumatizing, if not fatal. For brief ranges, you can carry them in bags filled with their old tank water. (Check with your regional fish tank shop for materials and more information.) A lot of significant fish tank supply shops will provide big plastic bags instilled with focused oxygen and water that can support fish for roughly 24 hr.
Birds - like a lot of family pets, birds are really tense about modification. Take your bird to the veterinarian for a checkup and obtain the necessary documents to move your feathered friend. Prepare an appropriate provider and assist them get changed to their short-term home.
Guinea Pigs-- these pets are understood to experience changed-induced tension or being scrambled around. Ensure they are transported in a warm, comfortable small provider, and attempt not to take a trip with them for more than 3 hours.
Reptiles/Exotic animals - reptiles are extremely vulnerable to temperature changes and need to be managed with severe care. Some veterinarians will loan a professional carrier to secure your lizard, spider or snake throughout a relocation. If you are doing a long-distance move, moving reptiles and other exotic animals can be hard. They need special handling, so contact a professional business that concentrates on transferring exotic animals if your pet will need to be delivered or provided.
If you can not take your pet with you during the relocation, there are a range of animal relocation companies that will carry your animal utilizing either their own cars or by prearranging proper moving methods and boarding.
Throughout the Move: Family Pet Separation
On the day of the relocation, keep your animals away from all the action. Another option would be to ask a good friend to enjoy your animals or place them in a kennel till all your valuables are loaded away.
Once whatever is out of the home you can retrieve your animal and location him in the vehicle or moving truck. A bigger pet can be moved in a kennel in the back of the automobile; you may require to put seats down if possible.
After the Move: Animal Orientation
Set up to have the electrical power turned on in your new house a day or so before you arrive if possible. You will have the ability to adjust the environment in your house to keep your family and animals comfortable throughout the relocation. Choose an electrical energy company in your area and call them 2 to 3 weeks prior to your relocation date to set up services.
It is best to keep your family pets safe and not let them roam the home immediately as soon as you've arrived at your brand-new home. If possible, established your house as much as you can while keeping them in a single room or remote area. Place their preferred toys, treats, water, food, etc. in the location while they gradually get used to their new environments.
This will provide you time finish relocating and "pet learn this here now proof" your house. Be sure to look for open windows, improperly saved chemicals, loose cords, pest-control toxin traps and repair any open holes where your family pet can get stuck. When all the boxes and furnishings have been moved in and the movers are gone, your family pet will be able to explore his new house.
Place familiar things in similar locations as in your previous house, and try to preserve their usual regular to help alleviate your animal's anxiety. When they appear comfortable, slowly introduce them to other rooms in your house, while keeping some doors shut.
Your family pet chooses up on your tension, so how your pet reacts to the change is going to depend on you. Every animal has his own special personality, and you understand him best, so let your animal's behavior be your guide to figure out how he's adjusting to his brand-new house.

Our Second Place Cupcake Recipe
from Bruce Yanoshek
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 Tbs cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 oz. Unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- ¼ cup plus 2 Tbs cocoa powder (I used a blend of natural and Dutch processed)
- ½ cup brewed coffee
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Make the pudding at least 4 hours in advance. The day before is fine.
- In medium heavy saucepan, thoroughly combine sugar, cornstarch and salt with a whisk. Whisk in milk until sugar is dissolved, then cream. Add the chopped chocolate and cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. The chocolate will begin to melt, then clump together. Just keep it moving in the liquid as you constantly scrape the bottom of the pan with the whisk. In four to 5 minutes, the foam on top will disappear, then the mixture will thicken and bubbles will appear all over the top when you stop stirring. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour into a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the pudding. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Make the cupcakes.
- Preheat oven to 325°. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with papers and set aside.
- In small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and both sugars.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. With a whisk, stir in the cocoa powder and cook about 1 minute, until very fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool one minute.
- Whisk coffee into cocoa mixture, then buttermilk. Whisk in both sugars until dissolved. Whisk in the egg.
- Whisk in half the flour mixture until fairly smooth, then the remaining half, and whisk until smooth. Transfer batter to a small pitcher or large measuring cup with a spout. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin. Bake on middle rack 14 minutes, or until done.
- Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove to rack and cool completely.
With a medium open-star tip, fill cupcakes with part of the pudding, then switch to a large open-star tip and make decorative swirls on top.

Fabio Baracho, VP of Marketing, and Alejandro “Alex” Gershberg, Marketing Director at Grupo Modelo, part of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the largest brewery in Mexico.
In this episode, Alan, Fabio, and Alex discuss Grupo Modelo’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. A huge part of this response was envisioning “The Match of the Ages” which occurred when the world felt most isolated and cultural gatherings came to a halt.
Soccer is a Mexican cultural icon. Despite any division the country faces, soccer is the great unifier. But during the pandemic, all games were canceled for more than 60 days. As a way to reunite the country and give back to the people, Grupo Modelo created a brand new 90-minute soccer game from scratch with the country’s two biggest rivals using 70 years’ worth of historical footage.
The game, which aired at zero cost on all major networks, became the highest earned media in the history of the brand. The initiative, El Classico de la Historia, became the first Mexican brand to win a Titanium Lion in the history of the Cannes Lion International Festival of Creativity for Corona brand.
Listen to the full conversation as they discuss the process behind creating the soccer game and how they used the talent and creativity of their employees to help a nation.

We humans ignore mundane objects like rocks, string and old fabric. Cats, however, are naturally curious creatures who find pleasure in romping around with rolls of toilet paper. Sometimes their playful curiosity can have dangerous consequences. You may have little time to react if your cat ingests a foreign object.
Why Do Cats Eat Foreign Objects?
There are many reasons cats eat weird nonfood items. Sometimes they’re just hungry or it’s accidental, but there are also medical reasons for strange feline appetites. Malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, diabetes, parasites and thyroid disease can cause your kitty to eat things she shouldn’t. Consult your veterinarian if you find your cat has developed an affinity for items other than her cat food. Your vet will conduct a thorough examination of your cat’s health that includes blood work and a urinalysis in order to uncover the reason for her odd dietary choices.
Signs and Symptoms
Your cat may exhibit the following signs after ingesting a foreign object: vomiting, loose stools, diarrhea, lethargy or weakness. Often foreign objects pass through your kitty’s digestive system without any problems. Keep a close eye on her for the next 24 hours to make sure she is still eating and eliminating regularly. Immediately call your vet if she appears distressed in any way.
When your cat eats a foreign object that is too big to pass through her digestive tract, this creates a life-threatening condition called foreign body obstruction. Signs of an obstruction include vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal tenderness, lack of appetite, lethargy and aggressive behavior. Blockages range from partial to whole but are always dangerous and require veterinary care. Without treatment the condition can result in permanent damage to the bowels and intestines as well as blood toxicity and even death.
The first step when dealing with the ingestion of a foreign object is to locate the foreign object. Your vet will perform an abdominal exam and X-rays in order to find the item in question. Once this is done, your vet will likely induce vomiting if the object is still in your kitty’s stomach. If the foreign object has already made it to the intestines and is causing an obstruction, surgically removing it is the next step. Make sure to watch your cat carefully as she recovers, limiting her access to potentially dangerous foreign objects such as strings or thread.
Always check with your veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet, medication, or physical activity routines. This information is not a substitute for a vet’s opinion.

|Pen and Ink Reflections
One of my favourite stories of transgender resistance to oppression comes from India. A group of hijra people were being harassed and humiliated. Of course, this was/is nothing new. Whilst hijra have their gender officially recognised on the Indian subcontinent, they are outcasts among outcasts, typically living on the margins, in the very poorest quarters, and they stir a range of reactions in others. Like all marginalised people, behind their own remarkable brave lives lies terrible and very real fear, and many sad stories: of the sex trade and exploitation, of cruel and/or dangerous castrations, of being cast out and shamed. In one community this shaming grew intolerable. Exclusion, humiliation and actual physical and sexual violence grew exponentially. What could the hijra do? The law, politicians, even religious leaders, did not care. They were actually deeply complicit. Then, after one particularly awful day, the hijra hatched a plan. In the early hours of the morning, after stripping off their undergarments, they would walk, en masse, to the houses of the worst abusers, rattling pots and pans, bells and whistles, and anything they could put their hands on, seeking to wake up the whole neighbourhood, and make the maximum impact. This they did, raising a mighty commotion. Then, they waited whilst the worst offenders, particularly the leading fathers of the community, opened their doors and windows, and came out to see what the terrible din was all about. Standing in line, shoulder to shoulder, the hijra together then took hold of the hems of their dresses, and, with an extraordinary shriek and song of pride, lifted them up, and displayed their genitalia, in all their glory. All those who watched on were taken aback, not only with shock, but with shame. For the hijra had turned the tables on them. The shame now rested on those who were rightly shameful. The powerless had, if only temporarily, transformed the powers that oppressed them, into tools of life and liberation...

Yoga is a beautiful practice that focuses on aligning the breath with the movement of the body, gaining strength, balance, and flexibility. With consistent practice and bermuda yoga lessons, you can become a master at yoga and perform routines with ease and dexterity. Your health will also benefit as well, so let’s take a look at some ways you can work towards becoming a yoga master.
Break everything down. Poses can be made up of several parts, so breaking them down is an essential step for beginners to yoga. By breaking the postures down, you can see how they work and gain more insight into aligning the body. You’ll likely need to build up strength as well as flexibility in certain areas of the body to accomplish some of the more complicated poses but keeping everything in small parts makes it feel less overwhelming.
Start with a solid foundation. As you get more advanced in practicing yoga, the poses will become more complicated and you will need to be both stronger physically as well as in your understanding of how to perform the postures properly. For this, you should have a solid foundational understanding of the basic yoga poses and which muscle groups the more advanced poses use. Study the moves you will be doing to avoid injury and get the most out of your practice.
Have a knowledgeable expert help. You can study on your own with videos and visuals on the internet, but there is something to be gained from having a professional help you learn as much as possible and stay safe during your practice. You may not have noticed certain things that are hindering your growth in yoga, but an expert can get you into alignment and correct issues, so you get better than you expected in a shorter amount of time.
You can become amazing at yoga and gain flexibility as well as strength by practicing consistently and having a solid understanding of foundational poses.

The following personal history piece focuses on the author’s journey in the mental healthcare system, through both psychiatry and psychotherapy. It also deals with how stigmatizing and detrimental the system (and the world) can be to those with mental illnesses. This memoir-style essay tells the story of the author’s illness like it’s the big bad wolf, and walks the reader with her on the journey to coping with it. It’s a piece that not only talks about the author’s individual reality, but also the greater reality of the world of psychology, psychiatry, and mental illness.
This is a story about a troubled man’s relationship with authority. In psychoanalysis, Freud’s concept of “transference” has to do with a process where the analyst becomes the object of all the patient’s emotional energy and neediness. But does it happen only in a psychoanalytic context?
“The Complicated Life of a Fictional Therapist” uses satirical humor and quirky point of view to delve into how the people we consider the most “put-together” are honestly struggling with average problems like caring and motivation.
As we age, a common human experience is losing faith in the institutions we grew up believing in (i.e. family, government, economy, education, and religion). Is the American medical industry an institution we should have faith in, or not? Could it be causing unnecessary harm by promoting the invention of diseases, utilizing erroneous mental health categories, and informing its practices on funding? What are the positives of the American medical industry when compared to other countries? How do we fix the errors of this American institution to purely reflect an apolitical agenda intent on servicing those in need?
Depression seems like an obvious flaw in the human condition. The symptoms of depression (everything from apathy, social isolation, and anhedonia to emptiness, sleeplessness, and ruminations) can make engaging in daily life absolutely impossible. As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote: “Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not.” Despite what seems like an obvious evolutionary handicap, research has shown depression has a variety of hidden benefits, such as encouraging attention to detail, creativity, empathy, and resiliency. By acknowledging depression’s hidden benefits, we can alter the way it impacts us individually and societally.
The controversial and well-known Lolita by Nabokov forces us to address taboo topics and confusing realities in a way that only art can do. How do relationships often represent unrealistic ideals? Despite the novel’s taboo subject matter, can it teach us something about the dynamics of normal relationships? How do different art forms allow us to address immoral behaviors, social faux-pas, or the negative features of our human condition productively?
There’s no question the United States — and the globe — has been experiencing crisis and turmoil. Crisis Theory emerged as a response to assist those who faced unimaginable horrors while serving in WWII — can it help us now? How can we apply Crisis Theory to the U.S.’s political climate, institutions, policies, and laws; personal therapy sessions and individual mental health; and response to the COVID-19 global pandemic in order to enact positive change?
If ‘good’ is what causes pleasure and ‘evil’ is what causes pain, is death evil? Or, do we live in a universe where what happens to is indifferent and only how we relate to it is good or bad? Is death a transformative experience or the cessation of life and consciousness?
Are we benefiting from mental health diagnoses, medications, and treatments? Or, is the current mental health industry causing more harm than healing? How do we accurately deal with psychological distress?
How has mate selection changed over time? How does assortative dating affect future populations?

Tonight may have been South Carolina's "finest" political hour since Strom Thurmond's segregationist presidential bid in 1948 -- if not Rep. Preston Brooks' 1856 game of whack-a-mole in the U.S. Senate chamber . . . using the head of Sen. Charles Sumner, R-Mass., as the "mole."
During President Obama's speech on health-care reform before a joint session of Congress, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-Seditionland, provided one of South Carolina's top political moments -- but not the top political moment -- since the state came up short on slavery and segregation during past periods of American ferment. Tonight's bid for glory fell just short, mainly due to Wilson's lacking a heavy, gold-headed cane . . . and that he was too far away from Obama to throw a shoe at him.
STILL, according to this story on MSNBC, the congressman gave it the ol' college try. Think Ole Miss, 1962:
Without naming Bush, Obama blamed his administration for bequeathing him “a trillion-dollar deficit when I walked in the door of the White House ... because too many initiatives over the last decade were not paid for — from the Iraq war to tax breaks for the wealthy.”OBVIOUSLY, they do things differently in South Carolina, and Wilson forgot that Americans don't do "Question Time" like they do in Britain. Just like our national legislators don't duke it out on the floor like they do in Taiwan and South Korea.
“I will not make that same mistake with health care,” he said.
The remarks contributed to a sense of palpable tension in the room. When Obama promised that his plan would not cover illegal immigrants, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted “You lie!” — the most obvious of several instances when the president was greeted with audible disagreement.
The Associated Press reported that Obama’s wife, Michelle, shook her head in disappointment.
Unlike Britain, the chief executive here is not a prime minister but, instead, a president -- a head of state as well as government. American legislators would no more -- well, at least until today -- scream "You lie!" at a president than Brits would flip off the queen.
It would be like giving the finger to the nation itself.
Then again, they've developed quite the knack for that in the Palmetto State over the last century and a half. Wilson's fellow Republicans likewise seem eager to learn all the wrong lessons from history.

Some 500 major league baseball players traded in their team uniforms for service uniforms during world war ii with so many men absent from the diamond, the sport marched on from 1942 to 1945, though it was just a shadow of the real thing—“the tall men against the fat men at the company picnic,” in sportswriter frank graham’s matchless phrase. Union soldiers took their baseball equipment on campaign during the civil war, and the game was played by troops during and following the spanish-american war of 1898 2 when the united states entered world war i in 1917, the popularity of major league baseball was already firmly established, though the league suffered a backlash from a population that wondered why professional athletes remained safe at home playing a game while millions of men mobilized to fight and die in europe. The all-american girls professional baseball league ran for 11 years and 12 seasons from 1943 through 1954 during the league’s run it entertained the country and kept “america’s favorite pastime” alive.

On "Bloody Sunday", 13 people on a banned protest march in Derry were shot to death by the British army. Now the Tricycle Theatre, situated in the heavily Irish Kilburn area of north London, is considering staging a play based on the Bloody Sunday legal enquiry. The official court investigation into the tragic incident is ongoing, and the Tricycle has been monitoring its proceedings for nearly a year now. If, at the conclusion of the enquiry, the Tricycle decides it's stageworthy, a script will be written based on court records. To date, the Tricycle has created critically acclaimed court-to-stage productions based on enquiries into Nuremberg, the Stephen Lawrence murder trial, the arms to Iraq scandal and Srebrenica. All of those were edited by Richard Norton-Taylor and directed by Nicholas Kent with Surian Fletcher-Jones.

The compiled responses indicated that a minority approved of e-cigarette use for smoking cessation. “A minority (13.5%) believed that e-cigarettes are FDA-approved for smoking cessation, while approximately one-third believed e-smoking lowers cancer risks (31.1%) and could help with smoking cessation (31.1%).”
17.5% would recommend e-cigs for smoking cessation
Moreover, less than half of the participants believed that e-cigarettes are better for patients than tobacco products. “Further, 35.9% agreed or strongly agreed that e-cigarettes are better for patients than tobacco products, and 17.5% were likely to recommend e-smoking to their patients for smoking cessation.”
In line with similar studies from across the globe, the researchers identified countless misconceptions about e-cigarettes. “We observed several misconceptions about addictiveness and inadequate awareness about e-cigarettes’ harmful effects, leading to non-scientific opinions about its therapeutic use for harm reduction or in smoking cessation. Academic programs around this topic should be updated in accordance with majority expert recommendations,” they concluded.

The robot simulation and offline programming tools are best and innovative to verify proper investment in robotic systems. The robot can be programmed on a PC to carry out all the feasibility checks or without stopping production with simulation software.
The programs for robots can thus be prepared even in advance, increasing productivity.
This approach offers several advantages:
- Risk reduction.
- Quicker start.
- Greater overall productivity.
- Faster production batch change.
The Offline programming involves the whole robot programming achieved with simulation software. The result is to operate on the robot with a CadCam interface.
All this is obtained starting from:
- A basic CadCam whose functionality is implemented to build new robot operations that are difficult to implement.
- Electronic and mechanical devices inserted on the robot.
To achieve the above, CadCam Mastercam-Robotmaster, RoboWaveBending bending cad, Visual Components general-purpose simulators were used.
With CadCam Mastercam-Robotmaster, self-adaptive systems have been created on deburring systems with highly accurate finishes on plastics, aluminum, and cast iron.
3DRealizeR allows you to build a 3D simulation of your production line and provides detailed indications on its operation.
With its simple and intuitive user interface, 3DRealizeR is suitable for sales engineers with the need to simulate robots.
3DRealizeR is based on the characteristics of 3DRealize, adding the ability to insert robots in the model. It allows you to evaluate its operation, check cycle times, reachability, and absence of collisions during simulation.
You will no longer be tied to a single robot manufacturer. A catalog of over 1000 different robots allows you to choose exactly the robot you prefer. And if there is something you would like to change, 3DRealizeR also allows you to instruct the robot to carry out your instructions properly.
Your 3D simulation will not only be simple and graphically appealing. You can quickly spot problems and errors with intelligent collision detection and reachability.
Everyone likes to have alternatives. With 3DRealizeR, you can immediately evaluate all the layout options and present them to your customers, in a few minutes.
The use of a virtual simulator is fundamental for many robot designers because they can test the algorithms, prepare the structure of the robots, and check their effectiveness in real situations. A well-made simulator must guarantee accurate tests, allowing those who use it to obtain all the necessary data.
For this purpose, Gazebo was created about three years ago, of which the new version 7.0 was released last month. With a powerful physical engine, high-quality graphics, and a convenient interface for programming, this software tool enters the ranking of the best robot simulators. Result also obtained thanks to the fact that Gazebo is free and freely downloadable.
Using Gazebo, one realizes the numerous qualities of this simulator, studied in every detail to provide the best user experience:
- dynamics simulation, which allows you to interact with a virtual world that follows the simplest laws of physics, to predict what could happen in reality
- 3D graphics with which we can observe the work from different points
- simulation of data collected by different sensors
- possibility to use predefined robot models
- numerous tools that facilitate the planning and analysis of the work
There are many fields in which Gazebo can be used, starting from the design of advanced robots, such as those used at the DARPA Robotics Challenge, reaching simple machines for enthusiasts.
The main programming language is C ++. There are also some functions and lines of code specific for Gazebo, which are published together with tutorials and examples to help the less experienced.
Currently, this simulator is available for both Windows and Mac, but correct functioning is guaranteed only for Ubuntu, therefore for the Linux operating system. However, there are also some suggestions on how to make Gazebo work with other operating systems, for which some requirements are required, such as 30 GB of free space for those who use Windows, without the security that the program actually works.
Many developments are expected for Gazebo, which is less than three years has been distributed in 7 different versions and for which at least four other updates have already been planned, arriving at version 11.0, which is expected to be released by 2020. Any future update will bring important innovations, which have already been defined and published but which will, of course, be modified according to customer needs.
A few years ago, the US Company DARPA proposed a challenge to technology institutes around the world. To create a robot capable of operating without the human need in case of need, such as natural disasters or nuclear disasters. The 25 teams took advantage of the best technologies combined with in-depth research to prepare the cars for the race, which took place on 5 and 6 June this year.
There are eight tasks that each robot had to complete. In addition to the ability to walk and interact with the outside world, automata have had to drive, cross rough paths, close a valve, and more. The ranking was determined by the number of works completed, and the time is taken. The winner was the KAIST team, a South Korean team that, with the DRC-Hubo robot (robot while climbing the stairs), managed to complete all operations with the time of 44:28, winning the $ 2 million first prize. In second and third place, both from the USA, respectively, the IHMC Robotics team with a $ 1 million prize and the Tartan Rescue team who won $ 500,000.
Only the three teams on the podium managed to complete all the exercises, but the results are positive: the continuous development of robots allows us to think that in the future, we could be protected or saved by these machines, whether or not commanded by humans.

In The Passenger Pigeon, Errol Fuller brings his artist’s eye to a recently popular, much-covered, yet little understood phenomenon. Most bird fans and scholars should know that Fuller, a collector of Victorian taxidermy and relics and a painter of extinct birds, hybrid birds-of-paradise, and boxing, has become one of the great self-taught scholars of ornithology and its history in our time. His monographs on the Great Auk and the Dodo, while scientifically impeccable, connect with the force of art.
Virtually every other work on the Passenger Pigeon, however worthy and necessary, reads like a catalog of numbers. Only the first-hand accounts, such as Audubon’s, come alive. Fuller has all that working stuff in appendices; he wants you to see the bird. Even his imagined re-creation of a first-hand sighting lives.
He has all the familiar images, old and new: Audubon, Fuertes; photos of Charles Whitman’s breeding birds; photos of Martha; Walton Ford’s terrifying Falling Bough. But he shows the unfamiliar too: two photos of specimens in brilliant color, with breasts redder than an American Robin’s, that have never been exposed to daylight since they were laid to rest. An egg, life-sized. And he reminds us how little we know, how little we studied them when we could. Did they really lay just one egg? Did they really abandon their young at two weeks of age?
(Fuller accepts the convention that they needed enormous breeding colonies. He gives a good population biologist’s argument: mass breeding “swamped” nest predators. But this is only significant if they actually abandoned their young early. Perhaps, if they did, the parents exhausted the local food supplies fattening the squabs, and the numbers of the young meant that sufficient numbers survived to breed.)
Not a complaint. Fuller’s vivid account is the one new book on the species you must buy. I suspect we have much more to learn about this most enigmatic icon of extinction.

One of the best parts of Luke Cage is how it seamlessly adds hip hop into the Marvel Universe. Every episode is named for a Gang Starr track, Method Man plays himself, and Harlem’s Paradise hosts a who’s who of hip hop and R&B legends. However, one up-and-comer has taken his slot at the fictional club and turned it into a breakthrough moment. Jidenna‘s powerful performance of “Long Live the Chief” in Episode Five, “Just To Get A Rep” had even the most casual hip hop fans sitting up to take note of his name.
“Long Live the Chief” actually came out last fall — along with a slick music video – but it doubles as the title track for Jidenna’s debut album, which is set to come out later this fall. Early reviews for Long Live The Chief are already strong. Jidenna has the support of such popular acts as label-mate Janelle Monae and has a witty and articulate style that eagerly betrays his top notch education. (The line “But I still rejected Harvard” is a reference to the fact that the rapper attended Stanford University – also the alma mater of Luke Cage creator and showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker.)
Jidenna is also making waves for himself this week on the heels of a rather explosive cypher performance for the BET Hip Hop Awards. See, Jidenna dropped a line that implies he may be queer (or that he doesn’t care if you’re speculating about his sexuality.) Decider contributor Erika Ramirez tweeted about it:
In any event, Jidenna is poised to take over the music industry this season. His stint in Marvel’s Luke Cage was clearly just a warm up for the total domination to come.
You can stream “Long Live the Chief” on Spotify.

Hong Kong customs has made its first-ever arrests over the sale of counterfeit goods via a live webcast on social media, detaining a couple and seizing HK$100,000 (US$13,000) worth of knock-off brand accessories.
The couple, both aged 30, were accused of setting up a web page on social media and touting accessories bearing forged trademarks – such as earrings, scarves and ornaments – through live shows, according to Wong Che-yin, head of customs’ intellectual property technology crime investigation division.
To avoid detection, the pair ran the webcast late at night. The weekly event lasted for five to six hours and attracted 50 to 60 viewers during the peak period.
Get the latest insights and analysis from our Global Impact newsletter on the big stories originating in China.
“The sellers did not appear in front of a camera during the webcast,” he said.
Interested buyers were asked to leave their contacts on the webpage and were later instructed to transfer money to a designated bank account before the goods were delivered, according to the Customs and Excise Department.
“The fake accessories were sold for between HK$20 and HK$100 each – around 5 per cent of the original price of their genuine counterparts,” Wong said.
He said he believed the illegal trade had been going on for a short period as the suspects took advantage of people who spent more time surfing the internet at home amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Authorities began investigating the matter after receiving a complaint recently in connection with the sale of bogus products via the web page.
Wong said undercover agents posing as buyers were also deployed to make purchases and gather evidence.
After identifying the suspects, customs officers raided a flat in Sha Tin and arrested the couple. Inside the flat, they found about 2,000 suspected counterfeit items with an estimated street value of HK$100,000. They are investigating the source of the goods.
The two suspects have been released on bail, pending further investigation.
Under the Trade Descriptions Ordinance, those who sell goods bearing a forged trademark face a jail term of up to five years and a HK$500,000 fine.

But first we needed to get together and set all the logistics; we had to plan concerning gear, food and schedule.
Early May I found myself a cheap ticket to Ljubljana, Slovenia. Very easy...no...So for all of you: if you want to keep the costs down you actually fly all the way over to Istanbul, Turkey and then return to mid Europe: Ljubljana, Slovenia....I felt bad concerning the environment :(
So, after one day travel I finally arrived and was picked up by my dear friends at the airport.
And who could come up with a better place to do our planning then this place up in the Slovenian Alps!!! Check out my bedroom!!!!
Then after sorting out all the planning and going through all our gear, we needed to start the paper work and emails. Now we had to try to get sponsors ....a very difficult job. So we all agreed to do our efforts in following weeks. First we need a tent, maybe we can borrow it from some climbing friends.... Lets see what we manage. Still working on that!!! Do you have a tent for us ? :) :)
Then we needed base layers. And we are so super happy to get ACLIMA onboard: we are so proud to announce that ACLIMA AS are sponsoring all of us with everything we need concerning base layers and wool!!! During our expedition we will do thoroughly testing of all the great gear we received!
Thank you ACLIMA!!
In between the planning we got the time to enjoy the Slovenian Alps :)
For breakfast Irena invited me to run up the little bump behind her place...only 1000meter up up.
An excellent way to celebrate my birthday-breakfast :)
And of course we did a 2000m peak near by. In lovely weather we enjoyed it!
...little did I know who was invited: Irena was actually asked to guide the US ambassador to Slovenia.
We had a really fun and nice climb!!!
Here is to tempt you: Enjoy the pictures!
