This small hotel is simple and clean with a little restaurant in a quiet4 story building. There is no elevator but there is a porter that carried my bags up since my room was on the 3rd floor. The room (Rm 31) was clean and had a 32 inch flatscreen tv, and faced the street with a small bath with shower. The AC worked well although I didn't like that it pointed directly to the head of the bed so you always had this cold air blowing on you.
Om Yim Lodge is just off Silom Road so you don't get all the crowds yet only a 5-10 min walk to the bars, clubs, restaurants etc. There is no joiner fee. I had breakfast and lunch a couple times in the hotel restaurant. The staff is very friendly and polite, and was always willing to give information/directions as well as hailed a cab for airport, etc; since most cab drivers unfortunately do not speak English this was helpful.
Getting here from the airport was a snap since the BTS Chong Nonsi Skystation is steps from the property. It takes about an hour from BKK Airport. Take exit 3 when you come off the train and you will run right into it! .

Renown session drummer Kenny Aronoff played on this track. Speaking with Songfacts
, he explained that the track was a last-minute addition to the album, and at first it had a more mellow feel. When producer Butch Walker played Aronoff the song, it was just acoustic guitar, a click track, and a loop. "He brought it up on the console, and now I'm composing the drum part to this song, which sounded kind of acoustic-y and folk-y," Aronoff said. "I said, 'Butch, I always look at myself as a drummer as an actor in a movie: What is my role?
' So I asked Butch, 'What kind of a song are we doing here?' He said, 'I want this song to rock harder than anything she's ever done.' But the song doesn't sound like that – it was just acoustic guitar and him singing. So, I pictured myself in a stadium playing with Zeppelin or the Foo Fighters or somebody big, and I come up with this drum part and they literally build the entire song around the drums.
Now, a million things could have gone wrong, but the song became a hit and was the first single on her record. She had already finished her record, but this happened many times with artists, where you finish the record, and they're feeling like they haven't gotten enough hits. Avril did that, and this song ended up being the golden gem that she had hoped she would have. And the fact that it did so well is like a miracle."

Outgoing UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage on Wednesday said he plans to assist further national campaigns trying to help countries exit the European Union once he leaves his post, claiming the current EU "project is now dying."
"I think what Britain has done is to open the door for the end of [European] political union," Farage told reporters in Strasbourg, where he is a UKIP member of the European Parliament.
"I do feel that our result offers a beacon of hope to movements right across the European Union," he said, citing opinion polls suggesting rising support for leaving the EU in Denmark, The Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Italy.
"Nothing is ever going to be the same again. I do belive that this project, the European Union project, is now dying," he said, adding that he expects a new eurozone crisis in the next few months.
"I will be working with parties and political movements across the rest of Europe and who are looking to get their independence back, too," Farage said.
He announced his resignation as UKIP leader on Monday, saying he had achieved his goal by securing a vote for a British EU exit, or Brexit. But he plans to continue to sit in the European Parliament.
Farage, 52, has led the right-wing party for a total of 10 years. He said he wants to focus on his personal life after the vote for Brexit, which he said, "means that my political ambition has been achieved."
His surprise resignation came at a turbulent time in British politics. Prime Minister David Cameron offered his resignation the day after the June 23 referendum, following his failed campaign for Britain to remain in the EU.

jones_supa writes: Biotie Therapies from Turku, Finland has signed a USD 2 million research contract with The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) to investigate SYN120 in Parkinson's disease patients with dementia. SYN120 is a dual antagonist of 5-HT6 and 5-HT2a receptors and these two distinct modes of action could result in a unique therapeutic profile for SYN120 combining pro-cognitive and antipsychotic activities. MJFF will fund an 80 patient, Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 16 weeks duration in patients with Parkinson's disease dementia. In addition to assessing safety and tolerability, the main focus of the trial will be to establish efficacy of SYN120 on cognition using the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) Computerized Cognition Battery as the primary efficacy endpoint. This trial, which is expected to begin in H2 2014, will be conducted by the Parkinson Study Group (PSG) at approximately 10 US sites specializing in cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.

To a lot of people, cars are a means to an end; a tool to get you from point A to point B. To other people, cars are a status symbol; a physical representation of wealth, prestige, or power. But to the people who made them, the people who designed them, dreamt of their creation and then executed; they are more than a means or a symbol. Those who spent countless hours creating, refining, and perfecting every aspect of a car understand the importance of the emblem that represents them. Read on to discover the history behind the world’s most iconic car logos and names.
Origins of the Mercedes Benz Logo and Name
The Mercedes Benz name is a combination of two: Emil Jellinek and Karl Benz. Emil Jellinek helped create the Mercedes 35hp through his company (the Daimler Motors Corporation), and chose to name the vehicle after his daughter, Mercedes Jellinek. Karl Benz created what is widely known as the world’s first practical automobile through his company, Benz & Cie. The two German companies merged in 1926, and the first ever Mercedes Benz was brought to life.
The Mercedes Benz logo was created in the early 1900’s by two brothers commemorating their late father. Paul Daimler and his younger brother chose two symbols to represent the brand’s car logo and name— a three-pointed and a four-pointed star. This paid tribute to the star their father had placed on his home, which was meant to symbolize the future success of his company. The three-pronged star ultimately became the lasting version due to the Mercedes’ brand promise of creating vehicles for sky, land, and sea.
Cars with such iconic logos and rich histories deserve to be kept up well! Click here for helpful tips to keep up your car’s interior at home.
The Porsche Logo Story
The story of the Porsche logo is somewhat of a mystery. The logo’s hazy origins are caused by two different tellings of the story—an American and a German version. The American version claims Ferry Porsche (Ferdinand Porsche’s son) dreamt up the logo on a napkin during a lunch with the American Porsche distributor, Max Hoffman. The German version disagrees, claiming that the engineer Franz Xaver Reimpiess designed the logo himself.
The Porsche’s car logo and name are a product of its headquartered location, the Free People’s State of Württemberg, and is modeled after its coat of arms. This coat of arms is both a representation of Porsche and a pivotal aspect of German history.
So, what is the animal in the center of the Porsche logo? Even upon closer inspection, it can be difficult to decipher. Much like the coat of arms, the animal in the logo is pulled from Porsche’s headquarters in Stuttgart, Württemberg, which was built over a horse-breeding farm. The city of Stuttgart’s seal featured horses, inspiring the black one featured on the Porsche logo. The black and red stripes are also pulled from Württemberg’s state seal, creating a powerful and strong design element. As if this wasn’t enough symbolism, the logo also draws inspiration from the Porsche family’s second home located in Swabia. History, controversy, and symbolism combined created the masterful logo we know today.

Simplicity at it’s Finest: the Bentley Logo Creation
The Bentley logo is expertly designed to coincide with the brand’s core identity. W.O. Bentley (the founder) described the brand messaging in a single sentence: “The policy was simple… We were going to make a fast car, a good car, the best in its class.” Classic, elegant, no-nonsense, and dependable are all adjectives that describe both Bentley and its logo. Design matched perfectly with brand intent is one of the reasons this logo is an exceptional feat.
While simple in design, the meaning behind the icon is essential. The prominent ‘B’ pays tribute to the creator of the company and his contributions to the automobile industry, while the wings have two meanings attached to them.
The first meaning takes us back to World War I, where W.O. Bentley was a Captain in the Royal Naval Air Service, and engineered a more advanced aircraft for the British than they had created previously. W.O. Bentley had a strong connection to the art of flying, which is represented today by the wings featured on popular Bentley models.
W.O. Bentley’s engineering feat garnered his position into the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE), and won him £8,000 from the Commission of Awards to Inventors. With this prize money, he carried out his lifelong dream of creating his own automotive company. As a Royal Air Service captain and a decorated engineer, W.O. Bentley’s love for motion was inextinguishable, and is reflected in the classic Bentley logo.

With a sword in one hand and a dagger in the next, Emery dashed in great speed towards Maeve.
However, his attack was quickly blocked by multiple plant roots that could somehow follow his movements.
Maeve cast a plant spell [Entangle] to block Emery\'s advances.
There were several roots, but none were fast enough nor strong enough, allowing Emery to slash through them with ease.
But, with just one second of him being distracted, Maeve had moved away and sunk into the darkness of the woods.
Hahahaha! Very good, very good! Catch me, dear sweet Emery!
Emery had participated in a few more fights now thanks to the Magus Academy tournament and he believed that the witch wouldn\'t be as good as him in close combat.
However, the one he was fighting today was a very cunning opponent.
Honed through living in the shadows for more than a hundred years, that alone was enough to make her a formidable opponent.
Both Emery and Maeve possessed an affinity for Darkness and Plant spells.
There was no reason for Emery to be afraid of being dragged into the woods.
But he won\'t be so stupid as to underestimate the witch.
The last time they fought two years ago she was ranked 6, the same as he was right now.
If only he had no restriction on him, probably Emery would be more confident.
He chased the witch into the woods while checking on his status.
[Battle Power: 65 (50)]
[Spirit Force: 217 (142)]
[Acolyte Rank 7]
[Immortal Gate: Stage 4]
Unfortunately, he was not at maximum power.
He had been using multiple [Spatial Gate] to rush to this place and with the added strain of using [Immortal Gate] for quite a while now, his power had decreased even further.
As for his spirit force, the many short training sessions he did in Khaos space last month had given him a 7 points increase in his spirit force.
It was a good increase, but not enough to let him break through the limit and attain the next rank.
Though the system said he was a rank 7 acolyte, the restriction made him stay in rank 6 and rendered him unable to use his rank 4 spells.
He could only hope the witch didn\'t improve much since their last battle.
Knowing this might become a difficult fight, Emery decided to keep hidden as many of his cards as possible.
For example, his [Blink] spell could turn the tides of battle at the last moment.
Hence, he merely relied on his high battle power to chase her.
Within seconds, the witch was within sight.
He dashed forward, jumped and executed a downward slash towards the witch, only to see her immediately grab the bark of the closest tree and suddenly disappear.
The tip of Emery\'s sword slashed the tree bark instead.
Right after she disappeared, she cackled, while Emery quickly pulled his sword and turned around.
To his surprise, he saw the witch walk out from another tree.
Hahaha, you are fast! Very fast! Where did you get all that power Will you tell poor granny here about your secret She taunted.
Emery had read about the spell Maeve used before in the Magus Academy library.
It was a spell called [Tree Stride], and it would allow the caster to teleport from one tree to the nearest tree.
The problem was, that spell was a tier 4 spell, which confirmed Emery\'s suspicion that right now, the witch had reached at least rank 7.
So, this was why she lured him into the woods.
This was going to be a difficult fight, after all.
Emery took his stance and was ready to chase after her one more time.
But this time, shadows in the form of a blade came charging towards him, forcing him to dodge by jumping.
This fight had turned into a game of cat and mouse.
While Emery chased her, Maeve would stride over to the trees and attack him from afar, while staying safe from harm.
Emery wished he could use his [Shadow Root] or [Blink] to quickly catch her, but he needed to wait.
The opportunity hadn\'t come yet.
His body started to feel a bit sluggish, Emery knew he couldn\'t keep using stage 4 immortal gate any longer.
It\'s draining too much stamina, so he decided to stop and drop his battle art back to stage 3.
[Immortal Gate: Stage 3]
[Battle power decreased by 8]
[Current battle power: 57 (42)]
This number should be enough for this game of cat and mouse.
If the witch could sense his strength, this could be a good chance to trick the witch.
Hahaha! Are you tired already, boy
His guess was proven correct.
From the start, he had suspected there was a high chance Maeve understood how to read his spirit, therefore, she would know when his strength dropped.
If he had to admit it, the shallow breathing wasn\'t an act, either.
Unexpectedly, his opportunity came faster than he thought and the witch was careless.
As she moved into another tree, she couldn\'t see Emery for all but a second.
A second was enough for him.
Emery quickly cast [Blink] and appeared behind her.
The witch was shocked and quickly turned and try to dodge
Without wasting the opportunity, Emery used the dagger battle art [Hidden Blade] to stab her back.
Emery can see the witch\'s skin change color just a moment before the dagger pierced arrived.
She was using the tier 3 spell [Oakflesh] to harden her skin, but fortunately, the tier 3 dagger and his strength were still able to pierce through and draw a small amount of blood.
But, it was not enough.
The witch was still able to move and the more time he wasted, the closer the witch would be to another tree.
The witch ran and was about to touch the nearest tree to cast her tree stride speel once more.
That exact moment, Emery quickly swung his sword using his strongest [Heroic Slash], the only battle art that seemed to be strong enough to cut through the oakflesh spell.
Blood splattered and stained Emery\'s face, while the witch\'s arm flew into the air and landed on the grass.
The witch fell and slumped onto the ground, holding the stump of her severed arm with her other arm.
She screams in agony cursing towards Emery.
Emery glared at her, while pointing his sword towards her.

The Government Accountability Office is recommending that Customs and Border Protection take several measures to fight internal corruption, including possibly polygraphing CBP officers and agents.
GAO made its recommendations following a review of arrests of CBP employees since 2005, including 144 arrested or indicted for corruption and 125 convictions. Most of the allegations of misconduct or corruption have occurred along the southwest border, causing CBP to fret about the impact on agency integrity.
In a report
(.pdf) issued Jan. 3, GAO recommended that CBP track information used to reject applicants, consider giving polygraphs to officers and agents, conduct quality-assurance reviews and set deadlines for completing and implementing a comprehensive strategy on integrity.
The Homeland Security Department agreed with the recommendations in the report.
CBP conducts background investigations and polygraphs of applicants, and requires random drug tests and occasional reinvestigations of incumbent personnel. But according to a summary
of the report, the agency's Office of Internal Affairs didn't have any way to track which of its screening tools helped them determine which applicants to reject. Without maintaining or tracking such data, the agency is challenged to determine which screening tools are most effective, GAO said.
CBP also was supposed to conduct monthly quality assurance reviews beginning in 2008 to ensure that case adjudicators were following procedures when evaluating the result of pre- and post-employment background investigations. The agency said it had conducted some of the reviews, according to the findings, but couldn't say how many.
"Without these quality assurance checks," the auditors said, "it is difficult for CBP IA to determine the extent to which deficiencies, if any, exist in the adjudication process."
Meanwhile, CBP IA had begun drafting an integrity strategy as called for in the agency's fiscal 2009-2014 strategic plan, but lacked target dates for completing the strategy and putting it into place. The CBP IA assistant commissioner also told GAO of "significant cultural resistance among some CBP components in acknowledging CBP IA's authority for overseeing all integrity-related activities."

England captain Joe Root says Jofra Archer has regained his smile and has been bowling “at the speed of light” after a turbulent week in the spotlight.
Archer is back in the England squad for Friday’s series decider against the West Indies, having sat out last week’s victory in Manchester following a breach of the team’s bio-secure bubble.
He paid the price for his unauthorised trip to Hove with five days in isolation, a written warning and a fine but hit back at his critics in an emotional newspaper column which also revealed his recent brushes with racist abuse.
The 25-year-old had suggested the experience left him short of motivation when he first returned to the nets, but Root has been pleased with what he has seen in the past 48 hours.
England have named all six of their frontline pacemen in a 14-man squad and may yet play four of them if Ben Stokes is not considered fit enough to play a full role with the ball – and Archer appears to have made a strong case for inclusion.
“I think Jofra will be ready for it. He’s had two good days of training and he’s got a smile on his face,” said Root.
“He’s bowled the speed of light over the last couple of days in spicy nets so it wasn’t much fun for our batters. I’ve had some good conversations with Jofra over the past few days. It is really important he’s mentally in a good enough place to play the game.
“We’re all here to support him and get around him, he knows he’s not going through this on his own and that is really important.”
Root was dismayed by the racial attacks Archer has been subjected to, which come in the midst of a series where both sides have made a point of showing a united front in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“No one should have to deal with that whether you’re a professional sportsman or a kid growing up at school. It’s deeply disappointing and there’s no other word for it.”
While it is hoped that such unacceptable abuse will be stamped out, the scrutiny, critique and goading that follows high-profile sportsmen on sites like Twitter and Instagram is unlikely to go away. Furthermore, the heat will only be turned up should he take part in the next Ashes tour Down Under in 2021/22.
Root, for one, recognises the need to cope with the battles ahead.
“Jofra has grown up with social media and it would be a big change to ask him to put it to one side, a bit unfair,” he said.
“He’ll have to learn to deal with it and know it won’t go away but there are times in the past it has motivated him to put in good performances. The challenge is to use it in a positive way and sift out the stuff he doesn’t want to see. Ultimately he just might need a better way of dealing with social media cricket-wise but it’s difficult when it’s been a big part of your life.
“We’re very aware it’s a big challenge, touring Australia. Obviously they’ll be trying to find anything on the group, as we found out last time, and what seems like a small irrelevant incident can be made into a headbutt or worse.
“We have a period of time before we go to ready the players in every way possible, how they perform on the field and the demands of touring.”
Root and Chris Silverwood will need to make a tough decision over the precise make-up of their bowling group on Friday morning, having used all six quicks in the first two matches.
Stokes has been the only constant member of the attack but he pulled up mid-over on the final day of the second Test with what has been revealed as a quad injury. He would play as a specialist batsman regardless – 343 runs at 114.33 settle that debate – but his niggle may prove bad news for spinner Dom Bess.
One attractive option to cover for Stokes would be play a seam quartet, pairing the vastly experienced James Anderson and Stuart Broad with the speed of Archer and Mark Wood.
“He’s fit to play the game, it’s just how much of an impact he can have with the ball throughout the whole game and in the second innings. We’ve got another day to work it out and be a bit more confident about it and we’ve got plenty of good options.”

In addition to its endless library of pop culture crossovers, Fortnite is known for its unique in-game events. Whether it’s something directly related to the game’s lore, or a concert with popular real-world artists, Epic Games usually goes all out for Fortnite Events. The developers have now confirmed that the next in-game event will be titled “Sky Fire,” and will serve as the finale for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7.
Epic Games announced the Sky Fire event in a post to the official Fortnite website. The Sky Fire event will go down on September 12, 2021 at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET. The massive mothership that’s been looming over Battle Royale Island since the beginning of the season has finally reached its destination and has its sights set on the IO’s secret base. Slone, who has been a recurring character throughout the season, will hatch her plan to stop the alien invasion.
During the Sky Fire event, players will be able to “join a strike team and sneak aboard the Mothership to deliver IO’s final message to the invading Aliens.” The playlist for Sky Fire will open up 30 minutes prior to its start time, and players will be able to join with a party of up to 16 friends.
Sky Fire will mark the end of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7. It’s long been a tradition that Fortnite seasons conclude with a massive, world-altering event, and this time will be no different. It’s likely that the events of Sky Fire will introduce changes to the map, as well as set the stage for Chapter 2 Season 8.
Fortnite’s next event will be Sky Fire, and it will take place later this month. As we get closer to the event, stick with Shacknews for everything happening in Fortnite.

It’s not always easy finding your way to paradise. Boracay is an island in the Visayas region of the Philippines, which needs a bit of effort to get to.
From Manila to Boracay: The quickest way to travel to Boracay Island, is to take a plane from Manila domestic terminal. The two flight options you have, is to fly directly to either the cities of Kalibo or Caticlan on Panay Island. The flight time to either city is 1 hour. The airlines that travel to either Kalibo or Caticlan, as far as I am aware at the end of 2014, are Philippine Airlines, Asian Spirit, Cebu Pacific or Air Philippines.
From Singapore to Boracay: The best way to get to Boracay is by taking the daily Silkair flight from Changi to Kalibo. From there, a bus ride will get you to the Caticlan jetty, where a short boat ride will get you to the sandy beaches of Boracay island itself.
It is worth noting that regardless of where you fly into the Visayas from, you can only set off for Boracay from Caticlan jetty. The bus ride from Caticlan airport is a mere 10 minutes, whereas the bus ride from Kalibo airport is a good 90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions and time of day.
The boat journey from Caticlan jetty to Boracay island should take no more than 20 minutes, and if you are lucky enough to be staying in a good hotel when you get there, then you will probably have a special ‘banca’ boat trip to the island lined up as part of your booking – although of us backpacking on a shoestring will not get that luxury and will have to pay the small fare for the trip on the banca. The banca boats are generally safe with good staff manning them.
When you’ve finally made it on to the island, hopefully you will be able to find your accommodation and settle down quickly. Tuktuks are available every on Boracay (as well as mopeds) and that means that getting around is really cheap! Check out the room (hopefully with a sea view of some kind), and then go out and explore the area – you may find that Boracay has more to offer than just white sandy beaches…
There’s nothing quite like laying on the soft sand with the palm trees swaying overhead as you listen the sound of the South China Sea waves crash in front of you. This is precisely what they mean by PARADISE – and all preferably with a nice beer and an ice cream at hand! Ah, this is the life!

Fitspo: What it is and How to Deal
Fitspo. A term I have come to loathe with every fiber of my being. Fitspo reportedly refers to images and words that women post with the purpose of inspiring themselves and others to live a fit and active life. The term stems from the more widely known term “thinspo” which refers to images and words meant to inspire women to lose weight. The hashtag #thinspo was actually banned on Tumblr and Instagram because of the constant disturbing images associated with the term.
Fitspo, in theory, sounds harmless enough. The problem is that it winds up being cleverly disguised thinspo. Thinspo charading as healthy and “body positive,” if you will. Yes, the mantras have shifted from starvation cheers to “strong is the new skinny,” but at the end of the day, the underlying problems are still present:
- We are encouraging the obsessive pursuit of a specific body type.
- We continue to be hyper focused on appearance.
- We still ultimately promote fear of fat.
The basic content of the message behind fitspo drives feelings of inevitable failure and guilt. We are failures for not “pushing it to the limit.” We must not be trying that hard if we don’t have a six-pack. This type of message works to create fraught relationships with movement and exercise, just as thinspo creates fraught relationships with food.
So how to deal with said fitspo trend? First and foremost, make sure that you are the commander and chief of the fitspo battle grounds- social media. We do have some control over what we view in social media , so make sure that you are viewing things that are helpful not harmful to recovery, and to positive body image in general. Don’t follow fitspo accounts. Blocks posts from friends who constantly give update about crossfit/marathon trainings/gym sessions, etc. from your newsfeed. Don’t fall down the rabbit hole of fitspo accounts by clicking through user name after user name on instagram. Social media can be as helpful or as harmful as we chose to make it. Additionally, stay away from magazines/other media outlets that tend to broadcast this type of message. We cannot take ourselves out of our culture, but we can work to create boundaries for ourselves within the culture.
Additionally, seek to explore your relationship with your body and movement in a safe and recovery-focused manner. Working out does not have to mean running like a gerbal on a wheel as your miserably count down the minutes until the arbitrary time limit that you set for yourself is up. Exercise and movement in general should be focused on creating a healthy mind-body connection. Strive to be active solely for the reason that it makes your happy- which means finding exactly which activities help your find your peace. This may be gentle yoga or a short walk 1-2 times a week. In fact, research shows that a fifteen minute walk outside 3 times a week releases a substantial enough amount of endorphins (those feel good chemicals) for people to notice a shift in mood! And as always, consult with your treatment team, outpatient doctors, therapists, etc, about what kinds and amounts of activity are safe during recovery from an eating disorder. (Most experts agree exercise should be put on hold during early recovery, especially if weight restoration is a focus. However, individual factors can impact how and when people should begin to incorperate activity later on).
So in summation, Fitspo is here with us at the moment. This is unfortunate, however we always have choices. Our choices are: a. play into the trend and passively view it as it comes our way, or b. stand up to the "fitspo bully'" and become proactive in our responses to such troubling material. The choice is ours. So sorry Fitspo. I already made mine- You are not empowering. You are not inspiring. In fact, like I said, you are kind of a bully. And there is nothing less inspiring than a bully.

Boiled vegetables, soups, salads, rice with vegetables, lean meats, whole wheat vegetable or chicken sandwiches, etc., are some of the foods that can be included in the daily diet menu. Following a diet can effectively help in lowering high blood pressure. However, you should also exercise regularly, give up smoking and alcohol to prevent complications caused due to hypertension. Take care!
A little tomato on your menu could be the key to healthier blood pressure. In addition to boasting plenty of vitamin C and quercetin, tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, which researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel have linked to significant reductions in blood pressure. Just don’t try to get your fix from ketchup or bottled tomato sauce; the combination of sugar and salt in most recipes can send your blood sugar through the roof.
Don’t deprive yourself of your favorite sweet treats just because you’re trying to lower your blood pressure. Mangoes are a great source of both fiber and beta-carotene, both of which have been deemed effective at lowering blood pressure. In fact, research published in Current Hypertension Reports suggests that adding beta-carotene-rich foods to your diet may be an effective way to lower blood pressure in no time. Not a fan of raw mangoes? Try freezing and blending them for a tasty homemade sorbet that’s perfect for those hot summer days.
Ever wonder how to lower blood pressure naturally? Sodium has always been the blood pressure bogeyman—shake most of it from your high blood pressure diet and you'll be safe. But research now shows that it's just as important to choose foods naturally low in sodium and high in at least two of the three power minerals: calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Add in these 13 well-balanced foods to your diet to cut your risk of stroke and heart attack nearly in half.
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and is an effective high blood pressure diet. According to this diet plan, one should have fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, low-fat dairy and lean meats and poultry in the diet. The daily diet should consist of high amounts of carbohydrates, good amounts of proteins, and very little amounts of fats and sodium. A vegetarian DASH diet should focus on eating more lentils, nuts, and seeds to gain essential amounts of proteins. This diet should also be followed by other people to maintain proper health and a healthy weight.
While fatty foods may seem like they have no place in a high blood pressure-fighting meal plan, fatty fish like salmon are a major exception to that rule. Salmon is loaded with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation, lower your risk of heart disease, and get your blood pressure into a healthy range. Research published in the June 2012 edition of the British Journal of Nutrition reveals that omega-3 supplementation reduced blood pressure among older patients and those with hypertension, making this tasty protein-rich fish a must-eat for anyone whose blood pressure has crept into a concerning range.

Developers Consortium to Buy Over 6 GW of Modules Annually to Support Local Manufacturing
The Biden administration aims at domestic production of 100 GW of solar modules
Four U.S-based independent power producers have formed a consortium to bolster the country’s rapid scaling of domestic solar manufacturing. They plan to spend over $6 billion on solar modules to support the expansion of the domestic supply chain.
The developers’ consortium comprising AES Corporation, Clearway Energy Group, Cypress Creek Renewables, and D.E. Shaw Renewables would purchase over 6 GW of crystalline silicon solar modules annually from local manufacturers.
The proposed purchase aims at driving the much-needed growth of the solar sector in America.
In a statement, the consortium said accelerating solar project deployment is essential to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees. While the White House’s recent action to support domestic manufacturing is a step toward addressing supply chain challenges, the consortium recognizes that more must be done to provide lower-cost, reliable, clean power to American families and businesses.
Earlier this month, President Joe Biden announced a 24-month duty exemption on solar modules and cells imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, and Thailand to ensure that the U.S. solar industry has access to a sufficient supply of the components. The administration also announced that it would collaborate with local bodies, including municipal utilities, to achieve around 100 GW of domestically manufactured solar modules.
The government authorized the Defense Production Act (DPA), empowering the Department of Energy to take sector- and consumer-centric initiatives to rapidly expand critical clean energy technologies in the country.
Clearway Energy Group CEO Craig Cornelius said, “By enacting legislation pending before Congress, policymakers can enable our consortium’s goal to broaden the range of products we use from American sources and increase our domestic solar manufacturing workforce. We look forward to partnering with federal, state, and local partners in government to fulfill this goal over the years ahead.”
According to a survey conducted recently by the Solar Energy Industry Association in April, the probe initiated by the U.S. Department of Commerce into solar imports negatively affected 90% of domestic solar manufacturing companies.
Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam came under scrutiny for using China-made components to assemble panels in America after U.S-based Auxin Solar filed alleged discrepancy in the assembling process.

“The Ryder Cup is beloved by fans around the world, and it’s exciting and inspiring to see our U.S. fans come together in support of their team,” said PGA of America President Allen Wronowski. “Fan engagement is what the PGA of America’s commitment to growing the game of golf is all about, and there is no greater stage for golf than the Ryder Cup.”

About the 2012 Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup, among the last great professional sporting events where winning, and not prize money, is its own reward, spans 38 competitions over 85 years. The competition was born in 1927, when enterprising English seed merchant Samuel Ryder commissioned the casting of a gold trophy that bears his name. The U.S. Team defeated Great Britain, 9½ to 2½, in the inaugural matches in Worcester, Mass. The Ryder Cup, recognized as the pre-eminent international team event in golf, has since expanded to involve the finest players of Europe. The United States has posted 25 victories, Great Britain/Europe has won 11 times, and there have been two ties. Europe currently has possession of the Ryder Cup trophy, thanks to a thrilling 14½-13½ victory over the United States in October 2010 in Wales. The 39th Ryder Cup will be held Sept. 25-30 at Medinah (Ill.) Country Club.

This article analyzes talent selection within Swedish Sports. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which this process of legitimacy is produced in the case of children and adolescents. The article involves a discourse analytical approach where organizational policy documents, annuals for operation, educational coach literature constitute the corpus of data. The aim is to document how problems of legitimizing talent selection are handled within the organization through the use of different discursive repertoires. The purpose is to deconstruct explicit statements and underlying suppositions through with the current process of selection is legitimized.
The research material allows us access into how the process for talent selection constitutes a significant part of a discursive apparatus of selection. In order to make the process of selection appear neutral, discursive work is played out in order to make the process appear fair and unbiased. Furthermore, this article shows how the production of the legitimate selection works in two directions, both individually and politically. The process of selection is being rhetorically displayed as legitimate to those within the system, as well as a Swedish egalitarian welfare politic at large.

Get to know the Flat-Coated Retriever
All you need to know about the breed
A regal dog with a jubilant disposition, the Flat-Coated Retriever is one of the ultimate convivial breeds. Originally bred for hunting, the breed was often seen on the 19th century estates of the English upper class, earning their keep by accompanying masters into the field and stream and excelling at what Retrievers do best: Fetching and retrieving.
That athletic ability, along with an amicable manner, has made the breed a cherished family dog and a frequent sight in the show ring, showing off the long locks that are the Flat-Coated Retriever’s standout trait. Functional as well, their signature coat protects this active dog from the icy conditions they often find themselves in.
The breed does have what can be called a mischievous side, a factor potential owners should think about when matching their activity level to a new pet. It’s because the Flat-Coated Retriever is known to mature slowly so best to have plenty of toys on hand to keep them occupied. They can also be mouthy (all that retrieving leaves its mark).
Although perhaps not as well-known as Labradors or Golden Retrievers, the Flat-Coated Retriever flourishes with all family members, especially children, once properly introduced and trained. They just may not be the best guard dog since they’re a little too welcoming of everyone they meet.
2 facts about Flat-Coated Retrievers
Things to look out for

Stories about wetlands and dirt, deer and bridges, earthquakes and water
September 10, 2014
Who knew we had built a big orange wildlife corridor:
- Bay Area wetlands restoration going strong. Construction is ramping up on two major projects to restore wetlands around San Francisco Bay. More than 85 percent of bay wetlands were drained over the last 150 years, but partnerships between non-profit and government agencies are slowly turning back the clock. Together they make up the largest coastal wetlands restoration effort in the country. The two newest links are in the North Bay. (ABC)
- Surprise bonanza since Napa quake: dry creeks now flowing. Spring water spurts out of rocks and trickles down the moss- and vine-covered cliffs in Solano County’s Green Valley – an oasis in a canyon that was parched by drought only two weeks ago. (San Francisco Chronicle)
- Climate change threatens more than half North American birds. A seven-year study of North American birds found that more than 300 avian species – more than half the birds in North America – will be in dire straits by 2080 unless something is done to reduce carbon emissions. (SF Gate)
- Time for Trees to Pack Their Trunks? The Nature Conservancy is anticipating a day soon — within the lifespan of a tree — when a changing climate may make the forest unsuitable for some tree species and varieties that now live there. (Climate Central)
- Still Time for a Conservation Legacy. What can Obama do for the wilderness? (New York Times editorial)
- Stop talking about conservation. We need restoration and rehabilitation. Yes, preserving existing ecosystems is a crucial and valuable cause, but just as funding clean energy and energy efficiency is a starting point for necessary change, so too “conservation” needs to be a gateway to something much, much bigger: restoration and rehabilitation. (Treehugger)
- And we’re bouncing to this because of the beat and because it’s about climbing trees.

Senior Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi on Saturday held a phone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The development of China-U.S. relations has brought great benefits to the people of the two countries and also promoted world peace and prosperity, said Yang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee.
China-U.S. relations now stand at a key moment, he said, adding that the Chinese government takes a stable and consistent policy toward the United States.
China urges the United States to rectify its mistakes made over a period of time and work with China to uphold the spirit of no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation, focus on cooperation and manage differences, so as to push forward the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations, Yang added.
Yang stressed that the two sides should respect each other's core interests and choices of political system and development path, and manage their domestic affairs well.
China will unswervingly follow its path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and no force could stop the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Yang said.
The Taiwan question, the most important and sensitive core issue in China-U.S. relations, bears on China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Yang said.
The United States should strictly abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, he said, adding that Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet-related affairs are all China's internal affairs and allow no interference by any external forces.
Any attempt to slander and smear China will not succeed, and China will continue to firmly safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests, Yang added.
Yang pointed out that all countries in the world should safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms of international relations in line with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
Such is the consensus of the international community, not the so-called rules-based international order championed by a few countries, Yang added.
Yang urged the U.S. side to play a constructive role in promoting peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. He reiterated China's position on the current situation in Myanmar, stressing that the international community should create an enabling external environment for the proper settlement of the Myanmar issue.
For his part, Blinken said the U.S.-China relations are very important to both countries and the world, and the U.S. side is willing to develop stable and constructive bilateral relations with China.
Blinken reiterated that the U.S. side will continue to pursue the one-China principle and abide by the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, and this policy stance has not changed.
The two sides have agreed to maintain contact and communication on bilateral relations as well as international and regional issues of common concern.

Rising up the ranks of a closed-knit industry takes unbridled passion, a massive amount of tenacity, and a fair bit of luck. The fortunate ones ascended to a successful status in the music industry and this is the opening chapter in just such a story.
Meet Sophie Francis. A Dutch teenage girl, with half of her childhood spent living in South Africa, who happens to be the next big thing in dance music.
Being passionate about music since a very young age, Sophie Francis started playing piano and singing along to every song. Soon she became fascinated about how music could touch and influence people.
Plucked from obscurity at the tender age of 14, Sophie began charting her path from a school challenge, of all things. Asked to master a skill over nine months, Sophie decided that she’d put her musical acumen to task. She went to class to learn to DJ and, as she learned the technical side, she quickly realized there was something much more at her fingertips. She began to obsess about music and mixing, production and the art of it all. She felt the real pull of music and what it can do for people and suddenly this school project became the catalyst of a career. She booked her first residency around this time at a local bar called ‘Het Pumpke’ where she perfected her skills and, as she played for more and more people, the artist inside began to emerge. She realized that she could connect with people in a powerful way through music.
She was hooked.
The industry was also catching on that this girl was something special. Always Management signed her in 2015 and almost immediately, had her performing at weekend festivals across the globe. The first of those, BCM Mallorca, showcased Sophie on the mainstage for 2 full hours and set a crystal-clear precedent that Sophie was a star.
As 2015 came to a close, Sophie was invited to South Africa for a tour where she performed on the mainstage of The Ruins Festival in St. Francis Bay, followed by a club show at The Coco Club in Cape Town, and rounding it all off with a fantastic appearance on Expresso a national TV show with 1.5 million viewers.
Next stop, 2016 where Sophie discovered a label that was accepting new producers. She sent Freeway Recordings 3 un-mastered demos and the result was unprecedented. They wanted them all. The label worked with Sophie on co-production and turned the 3 demos into fully realized hits. The singles; ‘Drop Of A Dime’ , ‘Up In This’ and ‘Bad Boy’ were released on Freeway Recordings at the beginning of 2016, and each reached Top 20 status on the Beatport Progressive-House chart. DJs supporting the records included; Tiësto, Quintino, Ummet Ozcan, Thomas Gold, Tritonal, Juicy M… and many others. The tracks were also added to rotation on NRJ and Tiësto’s Club Life worldwide radio show.
Sophie’s 4th single ‘Annihilate’ was gifted to her growing fan-base as a thank you for their overwhelming support. Fans again surprised everyone by pushing the song to a viral status by logging a mind-boggling 2 million plays on Soundcloud.
The summer of 2016 was very successful, performing mainstage for festivals of 35.000 people in Valencia, playing at top-ranked best clubs in the world by DJ Mag and gaining fan base after every single show. Watch a resume here . These season gave Sophie a special highlight when she was confirmed to play as the ‘New Discovery’ special guest which included performing at 15 shows at BCM Mallorca; the most important nights at this premium club and brought to prominence by alums such as; Steve Aoki, Oliver Heldens, and Nervo among others. Sophie was joined on stage by Martin Garrix where the pair performed an impromptu B2B set. Watch it here.
The milestones continued in 2016 when Sophie released her first vocal track ‘Walls’, on Powerhouse Music. ‘Walls’ entered the playlists of national Dutch radio stations (538, SlamFM, 3FM) and received a staggering 94% vote of ‘likes’ from listeners on 538 and broke into the Top 30 on the Dutch Airplay chart. ‘Walls’ was followed by the release of ‘Don’t Stop’, a club track on the Dirty Dutch imprint. The song entered the top15 on Beatport’s Chart, was premiered by David Guetta and supported by many international DJS.
As 2016 progressed, Sophie was feeling the pressure. She was now an in-demand artist getting offers for bookings in the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, US, India, China, Vietnam, Japan and UAE, but balancing the fact that she is still a student attending a gifted high school with very critical exams looming. Sophie is nothing if not hyper-focused on her goals and she works daily to achieve a harmony between her career and her studies. She has often said in the press that, although it’s difficult, she “loves her chaotic new life.” With the new year of 2017 rolling in, a new label came calling and, in late January, Sophie signed a deal with Spinnin’ Records. Her first single, ‘Without You’ was released in February and included a unique and quirky video that you can watch here . Her follow up single Lovedrunk was released in May and features a powerful vocal punch that harkens back to the raspy grit of Janis Joplin. Spinnin’ has made it clear that Sophie is a priority for them and have included her on the Spinnin’ Sessions in Miami and their stage at Tomorrowland in Belgium this July.
Speaking of Miami, Sophie was thrilled to perform at her first US show at none other than the Ultra Music Festival where she blew both the crowd and live stream audiences away. Thousands of new fans were made after her performance taking to social media to declare her set as one of the best performances at Ultra2017 and it cemented her new status as a festival headliner. After her set, Sophie was named by Billboard Magazine as one of Ultra Music Festival’s Top 5 Female Performances. You can watch the full report here .
It was also around this time that Sophie was named to the prestigious “Top 25 Most Influential Artists Under 25” by Spotify NL. She’s joined by fellow artists Martin Garrix and Oliver Heldens among others. Check it here.
Having a Zen-like mastery of work and school is paying off for Sophie. She’s a bona-fide rockstar on stage making crowds of people experience a kind of musical nirvana that is epic to watch. They get her because she gets them, and that’s a gift only a real DJ can give.
Sophie Francis recently graduated, and she will start touring internationally with top festivals around the world confirmed, as Storm Festivals in China, Parookaville in Germany, and Tomorrowland in Belgium to name a few. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter reveals for this amazing young star.

Skin tag is a benign growth of an extra skin that is mostly found around the skin folds like armpits, inner thighs and neck. These skin tags are usually small in size and do not cause any pain.
They are also mostly non-cancerous but they may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. The best way of treating them is to seek a doctor’s advice but these treatments may be very expensive. A number of home remedies are available that can be considered for treating skin tags. The remedies for removing skin tags are mentioned just for a reference and it is essential to consult your doctor before undertaking any one of them. Some of the home remedies for treating skin tags include baking soda, essential oils, apple cider vinegar, dental floss and nail polish.
Effective Home Remedies For Removing Skin Tags
Essential oil is considered to be an important method of removing skin tags at home. You can mix lemon essential oil, avocado essential oil and lime essential oil to remove the ugly skin tags from your body.
To prepare this mixture, you need to mix half a tsp of lemon essential oil, 6 teaspoons of avocado essential oil with half a teaspoon of lime essential oil in a bottle and then shake it well to allow the oils to combine with each other.
You can use a cotton swab to apply it on the affected area, and then let it dry for half an hour before rinsing it away with water.
Baking soda is yet another significant home remedies for removing skin tags easily. You need to mix baking soda with water or castor oil to prepare a thick paste out of it.
Try to blend the baking soda and water or castor oil paste well, so that you leave no dry lumps of baking soda in the paste. Then apply this paste on the affected skin thrice a day. Let the paste dry completely before rinsing it with water.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is also an important home remedy that can easily remove the skin tags from the body. As apple cider vinegar is mildly acidic, it can be easily applied to the skin tags everyday for removing them.
You need to soak a cotton swab in the apple cider vinegar and place it on the skin tags directly. Try to let the cotton swab remain on the skin tag for 3-4 hours before washing it away with plain water.
Nail polish can be of great help in removing the skin tags from the body. You need to apply it directly on the skin tags to remove them completely from the surface of your body. This normally takes about ten days to remove the skin tags. Alternatively, you can even use duct tape to achieve success in removing the skin tags.
Dental floss is an important home remedy for removing skin tags. You need to tie the skin tag with a dental floss till it shrivels up and eventually falls off owing to lack of blood circulation. But this method is painful as well as risky as it may cause inflammation of the affected area of the skin.

SportsEdTV, the world’s largest assembly of free curated sports instruction has launched its first stage collection of sports-specific art as NFT’s on OpenSea, the world’s first and largest digital marketplace for crypto collectibles.
NFT's (non-fungible tokens) provide iron-clad indestructible proof of ownership and NFT Mania, according to the Financial Times, has captured the imagination of crypto enthusiasts and is rapidly going mainstream.
“Like the sports idol posters we put on our walls as kids, the digital generation has NFT’s to collect and inspire. Ours are affordable and will feature NFT’s in numerous sports, and we are directing portions of any proceeds to our charitable foundation,” said Robert Mazzucchelli, Founder, and Chairman, SportsEdTV.
SportsEdTV NFT Collection joins a sports category on the OpenSea marketplace that features images running from Gronk-to-Gherig and other NFT’s of sports, heroes, and events. Some have developed amazing value, not unlike trading cards.
“We’re joining the likes of Nike, Twitter, Warner Brothers, in NFT projects and are adding value to our affordables by linking purchases to memberships and SportsEdTV’s upcoming loyalty awards,” added Victor Bergonzoli, CEO SportsEdTV.


A man has died at the Canadian Pacific Railway yards in Regina, after apparently trying to hop aboard a freight train, according to police.
Regina police say CP workers saw the man trying to jump onto the train on Sunday night, but he was struck and killed.
A different man was seen doing something similar at the rail yards on Saturday night, but he escaped with minor injuries.
"These types of situations, you know, with trespassing onto rail property or climbing onto equipment, it's very serious," CP spokesman Kevin Hrysak said Monday.
"It's very unsafe and people should know to stay away from trains," he added. "They can have this type of serious implication."
Police and CP officials say Sunday night's incident is under investigation. No details about the deceased man were released, including his name or age.
