Topic: Americans United for Separation of Church and State
Despite heavy rains, the Nashville Peace Coalition held a planned Peace street rally at Centennial Park in Nashville today, just days before the anniversary (March 19) of the Iraq War.
The Nashville Peace Coalition has called for peace in Afghanistan and Iraq on the sixth anniversary of the occupation of Iraq; the street protest went on as planned but rain washed out plans for an accompanying concert and speaker program that was to have from noon to 4 p.m.
“Now is the Time for Peace” was intended as an appeal to President Obama and the Democratic House and Senate to withdraw all troops from Iraq including non-combat troops and reverse the recently announced troop surge in Afghanistan. «Read the rest of this article»
Senate made the right call in rejecting reckless religious right overture, says Church-State watchdog group
Americans United for Separation of Church and State today hailed a Senate vote rejecting tax funding for religious facilities in the economic recovery package.
“The Senate has voted to reaffirm an important American principle that religious groups should pay their own way and not expect funding from the taxpayer,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United.
The 54-43 vote came after Religious Right groups began complaining that the proposed economic recovery bill (H.R. 1) was hostile to religion. In fact, the legislation merely states that tax funds used for school construction and rehabilitation may not be diverted to religious institutions. «Read the rest of this article»
‘Faith-Based’ funds were misused by Bush administration, Church-State watchdog group says
The U.S. Senate should not go along with a House plan that provides $100 million in “faith-based” funding as part of the federal economic recovery package, according to Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
HR 1, the measure approved by the House yesterday, includes a $100 million appropriation for the “Compassion Capital” Fund (CCF), a key component of former President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative.
Americans United officials say CCF money was allocated by the Bush White House without adequate oversight or civil rights and civil liberties safeguards. Administration officials also misused the fund to help political candidates and directed cash to their Religious Right allies. (TV preacher Pat Robertson’s Operation Blessing, for example, was given a grant.) «Read the rest of this article»
San Diego religious symbol’s display on public land violates Constitution, Church-State watchdog group argues
The Christian cross is not an appropriate symbol to memorialize deceased veterans of many different faith perspectives and should not be displayed on government property, Americans United for Separation of Church and State has told a federal appeals court.
Americans United and other religious and civil liberties groups today asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a lower court’s ruling holding that the Mt. Soledad cross in San Diego is a secular war memorial.
“American service personnel come from many different faiths and some follow no spiritual path at all,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. “It is disrespectful to our deceased veterans to use the symbol of only one faith to memorialize them all. «Read the rest of this article»
Religious Right Push For Creationist Concepts In Texas Science Standards Could Damage Textbooks Nationwide, Says AU’s Lynn
Americans United for Separation of Church and State on Wednesday urged the Texas State Board of Education to stick to sound science and reject creationist concepts when revising its science standards. The state school board is currently examining the science curriculum, which is reviewed and updated every 10 years. The Seattle-based Discovery Institute and other Religious Right forces are seeking to include loopholes that undermine instruction about evolution and open the door to creationist ideas.
Scientists, teachers, mainstream religious leaders and civil liberties activists want to improve the Texas standards to ensure that the public school classroom does not become a vehicle for religious indoctrination.
“Public schools should educate, not indoctrinate. The Religious Right is exploiting Texas public schools to push a narrow viewpoint and in the process is doing a great disservice to its students, not to mention undermining the mandates of our Constitution.” ~~ Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director. «Read the rest of this article»
Church-State watchdog group urges justices to require government neutrality toward religion
A Ten Commandments lawsuit to be heard this week by the U.S. Supreme Court inappropriately focuses on free-speech rights rather than church-state separation, says Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The justices will hear oral arguments Wednesday in Pleasant Grove City v. Summum.
The case tests whether Pleasant Grove City, Utah, can accept a Commandments monument for permanent display in a local park while turning down a monument showing the tenets of another faith. The Summum religion sued the local government after its display was rejected.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Summum had a free-speech right to display its monument next to the Commandments monument. «Read the rest of this article»
Decision is out of step with other rulings, watchdog group says
Americans United for Separation of Church and State has criticized a ruling by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholding the use of sectarian prayers before government meetings in Cobb County, Ga.
The court ruled 2-1 that Cobb County’s practice of opening meetings with prayers that include references to specific deities is constitutional. Americans United and the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia argued that under Supreme Court precedent, communities must use non-sectarian prayer.
Said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director, “The Constitution gives government officials no authority whatsoever to prefer one religion over others. This decision is very disappointing.” «Read the rest of this article»
Church-State watchdog group sends 100,000 letters to religious leaders nationwide
Americans United announced today that 100,000 letters have been mailed to clergy and lay leaders reminding them that federal tax law prohibits tax-exempt entities, including houses of worship, from endorsing candidates.
“Houses of worship are supposed to tend to spiritual needs and do charitable work, not act as political action committees,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director. “Our letter reminds religious leaders about what the law requires, why it makes sense and how it could affect them.” «Read the rest of this article»
Church-State watchdog group says Pastor violated federal tax law with call to vote for McCain
According to a report in the Associated Press, Bishop Robert Smith of Word of Outreach Christian Center in Little Rock told congregants, “I will be voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin.”
Smith later admitted that he took this action fully aware that federal tax law prohibits houses of worship from opposing or endorsing candidates. He told the Associated Press, “It’s about principle. I wouldn’t care if it’s my mother. If she isn’t for life or for heterosexual relationships, I wouldn’t vote for my momma.”
Smith’s violation of the law was part of a larger effort coordinated by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Religious Right legal group. The ADF sponsored a so-called “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” Sept. 28 during which pastors were urged to violate federal tax law by endorsing or opposing candidates from the pulpit. Smith had planned to take part in that event but was out of town at the time. «Read the rest of this article»
Americans United for Separation of Church and State today filed complaints with the Internal Revenue Service about six churches whose pastors endorsed candidates from the pulpit during a mass defiance of federal tax law last Sunday.
The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Religious Right legal group in Scottsdale, Ariz., urged pastors to defy federal tax law by endorsing or opposing candidates during a so-called “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” Sept. 28. Under the IRS Code, churches and other 501(c)(3) tax-exempt groups may not intervene in elections.
“These pastors flagrantly violated the law and now must deal with the consequences. This is one of the most appalling Religious Right gambits I’ve ever seen. Church leaders are supposed to tend to Americans’ spiritual needs, not behave like partisan political hacks. I urge the IRS to act swiftly in these cases.” ~~ Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United.
Lynn also scored the ministers who took part in the ADF gambit. «Read the rest of this article»

Metal strip is employed as a raw material in the manufacture of a number of products, and the metal strip is directly related to the final quality of the finished product. Therefore, before further processing, the strip has to be examined for compliance with the various quality criteria.
In addition to the physical properties, an important feature of the metal strip is its thickness profile. The thickness profile can be measured by many different techniques. Micro-Epsilon, a manufacturer of sensors and systems from Ortenburg, offers an interesting solution for this purpose.
Coils are the raw material for many other products. The thickness is an important factor.
It is not very easy to produce a metal with a constant thickness. Roll bending creates deviations from the desired thickness in hot- and cold-rolled metal strips. Therefore, various techniques such as roll cambering or using support rollers are adopted for optimizing the thickness profile.
The thickness profile over the width and length, the geometry, and the documentation of measured values are the important quality criteria of a metal strip. Measuring systems checking these and providing correction variables for regulation are essential to satisfy the quality criteria.
Thickness Measurement Methods
Traditional mechanical thickness measurement systems calculate the metal sheet thickness via contact using a caliper-type arrangement at set measurement points. The thickness values are then interpolated to provide an approximate thickness measurement.
As this method is quite slow, it is not suitable to obtain an in-process detailed thickness profile across or down the length of the strip. Additionally, these types of measurement methods are usually affected by wear and are not automated, so they are likely to interfere with the flow of production.
Alternatively, radiometric techniques can be used to measure metal sheet thickness. The radiation from an isotope source is dampened by the sheet, and the balance radiation is measured on the opposite side. The difference between the transmitted and the measured radiation is converted to an area-weighted value, and later, to a thickness measurement.
However, the radiometric method depends on the condition of the metal sheet and the alloy. Although this type of thickness measurement provides sufficient information about the thickness profile of a known alloy, it requires costly, complex safety provisions due to the radiation intensity.
Across three shifts, the cost of radiation protection, non-stop safety monitoring systems, and supervisors mean that there are high variable costs associated with these methods. Although the use of capacitive sensor technology provides a solution, the systems using the technology have a relatively large spot size.
The sensors can only provide averaged thickness profile information around the frontal areas of the sensors as they measure over the complete face. Better local resolution is needed for the edges of the products.
Different variants are available from Micro-Epsilon for this purpose. Using two-sided thickness measurement and laser sensors, a simple C-clamp measuring device measures the thickness on a selectable track in the direction of production.
A closed O-frame is used in another variant. Here, a sensor is placed on each side of the metal strip in an identical position. The sensors then continuously move perpendicular to the production flow and the thickness profile can be measured over the complete width of the product.
The new high-end system for measuring the dimensions and profile of strip metal from Micro- Epsilon.
New Method for Profile Measurement
In this new high-end solution, the sensor system traverses along the measuring gap across the complete width of the strip. In contrast to traditional solutions, two laser line scanners are used to provide significant improvements in accurancy and base distance to the metal strip.
The new O-frame innovation from Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik uses specially adapted laser line scanners. These scanners provide higher precision thickness measurements in comparison with laser point sensors when there is a larger distance to the target, and therefore, a larger measuring gap.
The system possesses a measuring gap of 200 mm, it is quite robust and can handle large fluctuations in strip guidance. Long-term operation and extended life can be ensured by simple, effective tweaks such as an open structure at the bottom so that dirt and scale easily drop through the system, not obstructing the sensors.
Possible collisions are avoided by the 200 mm measuring gap that protects the sensors. Additional mechanical protection is provided by completely safeguarding the measuring system, as metal strip vibration or curved/bent strip ends are always a risk for the installed sensor system.
Better measurements on many different strip materials, irrespective of the alloy type, can be enabled using profile sensors rather than point sensors to increase the density of profile information. Laser line scanners instead of point lasers can be used to significantly improve the measurement accuracy; an accuracy of 0.01 mm for a strip of maximum width of 4 m can be achieved with laser line scanners.
The profile sensors are supported by high-tech light barriers, which accomplish the task of width measurement, and if necessary, the edge detection of each individual strip after splitting. All measured data can be used to document the metal strip. The “profile” and “thickness” data are assigned online to a precise position on the strip, and the system is used in service centers for flat metal strips, and after individual metal strips are separated from the coils.
The system is a high-end solution for the measurement of metal strip geometry. The new system has effectively replaced the popular, traditional measurement systems. The return on investment related to laser scanner measurement comes from the in-depth knowledge of real strip tolerances, including the fact that each individual strip is documented and traceable for end customers.
Laser scanners are used in the system. These provide very precise data, particularly for metals.
scanCONTROL Functioning Principle
During measurement, a highly sensitive CMOS matrix records the reflected light of the laser line and generates a precise image of the surface profile. The displayed line is changed by changes in the profile, and a changed image is formed on the matrix.
A 3D image of the object is generated by opposing the individual line profiles as the scanner or measurement object is usually moving. In this manner, a so-called “point cloud” is created because the image consists of several thousands individual measurement points.
The system in use for the cut-to-length shear. The geometries of the individual strips are inspected.

I don’t think what you did was quite how the styling was supposed to be. It was a good effort though. I did not like the psychedelic backgrounds that you added to some of your pictures.
Good job changing up your poses this week. I liked the variation. I also thought the different headwraps were beautiful! You have that technique down. However, what that technique is, I can’t tell from your pictures. I think maybe you should’ve used a different color fabric and also better lighting with closer shots so we could see what was going on.
Excellent product placement! Your instructions were clear and concise. The pictures went well with the explanations. Good job. I loved the shots of your “doodles” afterwards.
I am loving that first picture of you surrounded by the products. It really stuck out and you looked so laid back and beautiful. You gave good instructions and upkeep tips. The after shots were gorgeous, I loved the vibrant colors.
Your doodles came out nicely but I think you could’ve gone more indepth on the explanation of how to do them both with your words and your pictures. I also was a little disappointed with the variety of your aftershots. I’ve gotten so used to you going all out with them.
Very nice, thorough instructions. Your after shots were beautiful, as usual.
Your instructions were a little too brief, though the pictures seemed appropriate. You had beautiful results and looked gorgeous but I would’ve liked to have seen some different poses and shots.

Recent rumors suggest that Windows 10 Creators Update will be released on April 11. As a result, Insiders expect Microsoft to kick off the internal sign-off process this week. This means that the Redmond giant will compile a series of Release To Manufacturing build candidates and then select a candidate for the final OS version. In other words, Insiders could have the chance to test Microsoft’s favorite RTM candidate starting this week.
This is part of Microsoft’s standard build testing process. The software giant wants to detect and fix any major issues that the Creators Update might bring and for this reason, will roll out the RTM build in waves. This is exactly the same strategy the company used to release the Anniversary Update last August.
Selecting the perfect RTM build candidate is only the beginning. Once this is done, the company will focus mainly on squashing the bugs reported by Insiders. The Creators Update arrives on Windows 10 Mobile and Xbox One a few weeks after the OS becomes available on PCs.

The short-selling ban implemented by the
Securities and Exchange Commission
may carry upward momentum into the coming week, but analysts say there are still too many variables in the market that could derail a complete recovery.
Last week, the collapse of
, the surprise acquisition of
Bank of America
and the $85 billion bailout of
weighed on the stock market, forcing the worst selloff Wall Street has experienced since the first trading day after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in 2001.
Despite a strong rally over the previous two trading sessions, spurred by the SEC's decision to put into place temporary measures to prohibit short-selling in financial companies as well as the government's plan to buy mortgage-backed securities and support the mortgage market with more liquidity, the major indices finished little changed for the week. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average
dipped 20 points, while the
tacked on 3 points and the
added 12 points.
"If you were Rip Van Winkle for a week, you'd think that not much happened," says Paul Nolte, director of investments with Hinsdale Associates. "However, the
and the Treasury's balance sheet have been altered dramatically over the last five business days."
Steven Sheldon, CFA and principal with SMS Capital Management, says that the SEC ban and the government's plan have removed the panic from the market for the short term, which is a positive, but that risks still remain.
"A few days ago we were headed toward something cataclysmic," says Sheldon. "At least, for the moment, that's off the table. But once the dust settles Monday, we'll be back looking at fundamentals. The pendulum will swing back towards the negative before this is all over."
Indeed, uncertainty still looms over credit and financial markets.
fate is still undecided, while
still is shopping itself to all bidders. By Monday, there is a chance that both or neither will be independent any longer.
"Nothing is out of the realm of possibility," Nolte says. "Last Monday, Lehman was gone and Merrill got the bum-rush into Bank Of America's arms. It's going to be very hard to tell who the winners and losers are going to be. It's hard to get your arms around whether this is enough or if this is the solution. We have no idea for six months to a year until this has a chance to work it's way through the financial system."
Investors are hoping for more clarification on the economy when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke makes three separate appearances on Capitol Hill to discuss the U.S. financial markets, his economic outlook and the recent Treasury and federal housing and finance agency bailout of government-sponsored enterprises
Bernanke will appear before the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, the Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday, and the Committee on Financial Services in the House of Representatives on Thursday.
In addition to Bernanke's testimony, the backend of the week is loaded with economic data, starting Wednesday with a report on existing home sales. The consensus among economists is that sales in August fell to 4.93 million annualized units from 5 million the month prior.
"The home sales numbers are going to be the ones people focus in on, because that's still the root of all evil at this point," says Nolte. "Any type of news, especially good news, will be welcome."
Thursday brings three separate reports on durable goods orders for August, weekly initial jobless claims, and new home sales for August. Durable goods orders are expected to have declined 1.3% last month, while new home sales are expected to have increased slightly to 518,000 units from 515,000 units.
On Friday, the highlight of the economic docket is the final read on second-quarter gross domestic product, which is expected to increase a bit to 3.4% from the last reading, which was 3.3%. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index for September will also come due.
In addition to the two housing-related economic reports, a couple of homebuilders will be out with quarterly earnings results during the week.

will release results Friday.
Among the tech companies set to report earnings this week, the spotlight will shine brightest on
Research In Motion
when it posts quarterly results after Thursday's close.
are all also set to deliver results.
Several retailers are also set to report quarterly results, including
Bed Bath & Beyond
Monday will also bring a change to the Dow's makeup, when
replaces component AIG, leaving the index underweighted in financials following the recent turmoil in the stock market. The move marks the second time in 2008 changes have been made to the Dow's component list.

Four Kenya sports federations sponsored by Sportpesa have pleaded with the government not to pass the Betting Control Bill into law.
This is after the company issued letters to the various federations that it will terminate their contracts if the government passes the bill into law.
Barely a day after Sportpesa issued letters to the Kenya Motorsports federation, Kenya Rugby Union, Football Kenya Federation, AFC Leopards SC, Gor Mahia FC, the Boxing Association among other sports organizations that it sponsors, the various federations have come together to plead with the government not to pass the betting control bill into law.
The Government through the Treasury CS, Henry Rotich in his proposed budget, suggested increase in taxation to betting and gaming companies.
The plan made to impose a 50% tax on the gross revenue of the betting companies will greatly affect their revenue.
The government is set to discuss about the bill that was raised by deputy minority chief whip, in the National Assembly, Jakoyo Midiwo.
Meanwhile, organizers of the Nairobi Governor’s cup have received a financial boost from the Nairobi Liquor licensing board and the Nairobi County government to a tune of 10million shillings.
With the final for the Governor’s cup scheduled for 21st July this year, the amount that will be shared among winners in each category has also been increased from one million to 4.25 million shillings.
The runners up price has also been increased from 500,000 shillings to 1.7 million shillings.
The semifinal sub county league matches will be staged at different stadia in Nairobi within a span of two weeks.

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing.
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
You wait for the war to happen like vultures. If you want to help, prevent the war. Don’t save the remnants. Save them all.
When asked for advice by beginners, I always stress that. Know your ending, I say, or the river of your story may finally sink into the desert sands and never reach the sea.
What is really amazing, and frustrating, is mankind’s habit of refusing to see the obvious and inevitable until it is there, and then muttering about unforeseen catastrophes.
We are reaching the stage where the problems that we must solve are going to become insoluble without computers. I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
Uncertainty that comes from knowledge (knowing what you don’t know) is different from uncertainty coming from ignorance.

My Girlfriend is a Zombie Chapter 315 Part 1 – Unexpected Guests
“En. Although…I didn’t want…I didn’t want to remember how it felt to be human, since what I am right now is good… but… without it, I always feel that something is missing…”
There was a strange look in Ye Lian’s eyes as she whispered.
This made Ling Mo suddenly feel very emotional and he couldn’t help but hold her from behind.
After deeply smelling Ye Lian’s scent, Ling Mo said very firmly, “Don’t worry, now that Shana’s issue has been resolved, I will help get you to Leader Level as soon as possible.”
“Brother Ling…. are you…. afraid?”
Ye Lian suddenly asked after nodding her head.
Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, and then revealed a bitter smile.
‘It turns out that my behavior has been so obvious… Even Ye Lian, who is a bit slow, is aware of it.’
“I’m not afraid, just a bit uneasy.” Ling Mo shook his head and said.
At this time, Shana turned around while stroking her hair and said, “Actually, what your thinking is too far into the future. You really don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. Our survival rate is already much higher than the average person. Being cautious is good, but being too cautious will lead to your current situation. Don’t pay too much attention to the Falcon Camp. We just need to concentrate doing well on our end. No one can say clearly what will happen in the future, but even if there was danger, at least we would still be together, no?”
Without waiting for Ling Mo to respond, Shana walked over to him, put one hand on his shoulder, looked seriously into his eyes, and said, “My dream is that no matter what happens, we will never separate from each other. What about you?”
“Huu….” Ling Mo took a deep breath, then looked at both Ye Lian and Shana before turning his gaze to Li Ya Lin, who was training Hei Si in the inner courtyard.
He nodded, “Understood, any worrying right now is pointless. All I need to remember is this. My dream is also the same.”
“En, don’t humans struggle to survive when they have goals that they wish to complete? All you have to do is put us as your goal and we will be fine.”
Shana opened her mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
Her smile wasn’t like before. It was smile that came from the heart.
Ling Mo’s heart felt as if it was slammed by a fist, and he couldn’t help but hug Ye Lian more tighter.
‘When will Ye Lian also be like this, showing a real smile from the heart…’
After this conversation, Ling Mo’s impetuous heart had calmed down a little bit, and he began to put all his focus on training his skills.
At the same time, he incorporated a way to hunt gels into his training program. The amount of gels he had in his hands also increased.
This was a back-up plan that he prepared for himself, but if he could, he really wished things wouldn’t develop to that point…
In addition to constant usage of his spiritual tentacles on the girls at night, he also practiced combat training during the day.
Teaching Hei Si had gained great results so far. Basically, she had no problems when it came to walking upright. But if she was alone with Ling Mo, she couldn’t stop herself from pushing Ling Mo down and squatting on top of him with a pair of long legs.
The host that Hei Si found was really attractive. She had a face with a little bit of baby fat, very white skin, and two majestic balls on her chest that weren’t small. Especially those long legs of hers, which was really irritating to look at when they were being covered by her black stockings.
Her favorite posture was to press those two majestic balls on Ling Mo’s chest, and then continue to lick Ling Mo’s neck, trying to express their closeness.
However, every time Ling Mo was pushed down, he would show a helpless look, “It doesn’t matter what your appearance looks like, your actions are exactly the same as a dog’s…. But then again, if you were able to control your genes during evolution, why didn’t you just make yourself look more human? Oh… I guess you’re right, for dogs, human beings aren’t perfect, right?”
Hei Si let out a “Wuu” in response.
Her intelligence now was enough to understand what most of Ling Mo said, but since she was only a parasite, she still wasn’t able to speak.
However, on the plus side of things, ever since Hei Si evolved into that form, she basically became Ling Mo’s super strong signal router. It made Ling Mo’s life much easier.
Every time he thought about how useful she was, Ling Mo would reluctantly endure all the kinds of atrocities she committed…
As for Ye Lian’s evolution, Ling Mo had already developed a plan that works for both him and her.
Exchange of body fluids! Which meant kissing!
to be continued…

A line of thunderstorms swept through the southern half of Minnesota overnight and was out of the Twin Cities before 7 a.m., setting the stage for what's going to be a rather miserable weekend.
The high temp Saturday in the Twin Cities will struggle to reach 50 degrees, and simply getting to 40 degrees on Sunday is going to be a challenge. Temps in the 40s in mid-May is cruel and unusual punishment, but that's what's on tap for the weekend.
Really, the cool temperatures are the result of a powerful storm system that features a warm front that'll be draped somewhere near the Iowa border. Temps north of the front are colder while much warmer conditions – and potential for severe thunderstorms – exist south of the front.
So while it'll barely reach 50 in the metro Saturday, the temp in Mankato and Rochester will inch close to 70 while the mercury could reach close to 80 near the Iowa border. And that's where there's a slight risk for severe storms.
Large hail is possible with storms as far north as the Twin Cities and St. Cloud, but the chances are slim.
According to the National Weather Service, it'll be cold enough on Sunday that there could be snow mixing with rain along and east of the Interstate 35 corridor north of the Twin Cities. You can see some blue show up in the simulated future radar (may not work in all browsers) and that's an indication of snow.
Accumulations are not expected, but for gee gosh golly this is ridiculous. Last year on May 18-19, the high temps in the metro reached 84 and 72, respectively. Fortunately, the cool pattern will be gone by midweek with 70s returning by Wednesday.

NEW YORK — “It’s very couture,” said Ginny Hershey-Lambert, Bergdorf Goodman’s executive vice president of merchandising, describing Tom Ford’s women’s ready-to-wear, which the store began selling Friday on its second level. “It’s body-conscious in ways that really show the profile of a women without overt sexiness.”
Launching the first Tom Ford women’s shop-in-shop is a coup for Bergdorf’s. The shop, adjacent to the shoe department which is being renovated and will include Ford’s footwear, is only the second location for Ford’s women’s wear in New York City, joining the designer’s flagship at 845 Madison Avenue. Bergdorf’s was also first to open a Tom Ford men’s shop-in-shop three years ago, and will follow through in November with an expanded Tom Ford beauty boutique.
The mood of Ford’s newest shop-in-shop is modern, crisp and sumptuous, with accessories housed in sparkling chrome and mirrored vitrines, eveningwear in Macassar ebony wood wardrobes and daywear displayed inside gray, steel-framed wardrobes. A long sofa, silver ottoman, marble table and Jacques Quinet table lamps enhance the salon effect.
Ford’s women’s collection is striking in its tailoring, sensuality, and prices, including a dyed goat hair jacket, priced $18,508, and exotic handbags as expensive as $18,950 — though day bags start at $2,850. Ford makes his statement with velvet tuxedo jackets, $4,990; ruched tulle cocktail dresses, $5,995; leather motorcycle jackets, $8,960, and with gold accents, jewel tones, sculptured shoulder treatments and unmistakable oversized zippers on the handbags.
The brand building continues with the opening of the first Tom Ford Women franchise store at the end October in Munich. The 2,150-square-foot shop, in a landmark building off Maximilianstrasse, will be owned by luxury retailer Marion Heinrich, who also operates a 7,000-square-foot multilabel store and a Chloé shop in the Bavarian capital.

Publishers Weekly said of this collection, "Slatter displays a rare gift for evocative and poetic prose." The book was nominated for the World Fantasy Award and Aurealis Awards. The story is available here.

We thought it might be a good idea to make available PDF file samples of the work of some Tartarus authors you may not yet have read.
We’re starting with our growing list of contemporary writers. First up is that masterful magician of the macabre, Reggie Oliver, whose collection with us, Mrs Midnight, has proved such a popular and critical success. Mrs Midnight is now available in a paperback edition (priced £14.95), or as an ebook (£3.50). The title story of the collection is a tour de force of mounting horror with a music hall theme. It is available here, and we hope you will enjoy it.
Future PDFs will be announced as they become available and will include samples of the writing of Mark Samuels, Mark Valentine, Angela Slatter, Quentin S. Crisp, Tim Lees, Rhys Hughes, Michael Reynier and Jason P. Wyckoff. We also hope to provide samples of some of our classic authors, and our journal Wormwood.

Even before the United States and its al- lies embarked on war in Iraq in 2003, the question of whether it is acceptable to strike enemies without clear provo- cation was an increasingly vexing one to policy makers, academics, and legal ex- perts. “Preemptive war” (attacking an enemy who is clearly about to strike you first) has always been an acceptable response to a dire and clear threat. But “preventive war” (striking a potential enemy while circumstances are favor- able to the attacker, or striking in early anticipation of a possible, or even only theoretical, threat) has traditionally been regarded in the international community as not only unwise but immoral.

We all want to be at our very best, especially when traveling. Holistic pharmacist Sherry Torkos, appeared on San Diego’s Fox 5 with easy remedies that help manage health problems common during spring break. The health author suggests including Suntheanine in your travel kit. This supplement helps promote calming relaxation and improves your sleep quality. It’s ideal when traveling as it won’t cause the next-day fog typical of medicated sleep aids.
Traveling between time zones, and even Daylight Savings Time, can be hard on your body. Torkos said, “Even just changing one hour can really impact sleep quality.” Worrying about an upcoming trip or what you’re missing at home can also affect your sleep patterns. Torkos offered a solution: “This is a clinically studied form of an amino acid. It’s called Suntheanine. It makes you feel more calm, more relaxed and improves your sleep quality.” Torkos explained that the remedy is also non-drowsy. “So it’s not going to knock you out the next day. “
Suntheanine comes in both capsules and chewable tablets, and acts fast. “It works in about 30 minutes or so,” said Torkos. The chewable form of Suntheanine contains 100 mg of L-theanine in a naturally flavored tablet. “And unlike a lot of these sedative drugs, it’s non-addictive,” Torkos added. “So I love this. It’s a great product to take when you are traveling.”
Suntheanine helps ease the tension of traveling with kids
Traveling with children can be stressful, for both the parents and the kids. “This is a good remedy to take to help take that edge off — the stress and anxiety – especially if you are a nervous traveler,” said Torkos. “And these chewable Suntheanine tablets can be taken by children eight and above.”
Suntheanine is a patented pure form of L-theanine. This amino acid can help alleviate the daytime fatigue, poor concentration and irritability often associated with jet lag. In use since 1994, there are no indications of adverse reactions or contraindications.

In this study, a radial flux generator which is driven directly for low speed turbines and structured by permanent magnets has been designed and analyzed by finite elements methods. The designed generator model has got the good results which show high performance characteristics of a permanent magnet generator. Both electrical and magnetic parameters of the designed generator have been calculated; the data obtained from the analyses have been commented. Maximum efficiency has been tried to get by interfering to structure of generator regarding to magnetic materials saturation. Comparison results made in the study have been demonstrated that the designed permanent magnet radial flux generator has superior performance rather than normal generator.

IF YOU watched that recently-surfaced video of the Spice Girls back in the day, tackling media-sexism by destroying a couple of advertising spods on-set, and thought “That’s all very well, but where my contemporary bad-girls at?” – the answer is Leeds. All through December. From Riot Grrls to soppy punx, here’s our pick of the best female-fronted gigs this month.
Hands Off Gretel
Having hit the ground running since their early 2015 debut, Hands Off Gretel have been recognised nationally and internationally by the Alternative Press, as well as by packed out audiences for shows at Rebellion Festival, Camden Rocks, and Whitby Goth Weekend.
Their message of female empowerment goes beyond the honest and frustrated lyrics delivered over a mixture of nineties grunge and post-punk; singer Lauren’s commitment to the DIY ethic extends to hand-written notes and feminist zines included with purchases of their self-made merch and records.

The Julie Ruin

Comprising of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre members, TJR are true pioneers of riot grrl punk rock. Hanna’s piercing post-feminist wails and huge anthems not only cement their status as one of the biggest bands in the punk-sphere but also promotes a real sense of girl power with hit-back anthems such as “Mr So and So.”. Empowering, energetic, and exuding inclusivity, this is a must-go show. Sian Parmar

If you’re into sweet, (self-titled) ‘sappy punx’, Bruising are the ones for you. Delicate vocals from lead singer Naomi float above the reverb-drenched, scuzzy guitars for a whole back catalogue of college-riff soaked melodies that scream American Pie. Their latest track “I Don’t Mind” showcases the band’s talents in mixing sweet, sentimental lyrics with bold, heavy guitars. With an already established following, previously supporting Los Campesinos and Diet Cig, the lovely Leeds quartet are not to be missed. Sian Parmar

Self-described “slack metal” punks Slowcoaches are a catchy combo of heavy guitars and vocal melodies from singer Heather. Reminiscent of 90s grunge, their moody, melodic punk jams are anything but the apathetic, with a whole host of high-octane performances under their belts. With their new album, Nothing Gives, getting released by Leisure & District in December, the band are sure to secure their fast and furious rise to punk stardom. Sian Parmar

Sidonie and Esme - along with friend Harry - decided to start a band while a house party, inspired by their joint love of sixties surf, lo-fi garage and psyche. They didn’t know how to play any instruments, of course, but if you let minor details like that prevent you from startiing a band then you’ll never get anywhere.
Nearly three years on, they’ve taken the North-West by storm, earning praise from the likes of NME and Steve Lamacq, and they can even play instruments now. See, you just have to believe.
They’re playing Wharf Chambers as part of Pizza for the People’s Indie Banquet - joining a bill that includes Cowtown, Team Picture, Party Hardly, Yard Wards, and perhaps most importantly Pizza Guy, and Buckets of Vegan Fried Chicken!!. That’s actual pizza and vegan fried chicken, not just misleading band names...
Indie Banquet, Friday 16 December, Wharf Chambers, Tickets
Cate Le Bon
Last up is someone a little different; the cathartic, calming sounds of Cate Le Bon. Slightly-spooky songs, she’ll have you entranced with the fragility of her voice and trademark doleful tones and sparse guitars cementing the overall emotive force of her music. New album, Crab Day, depicts a journey of growth and confidence as a talented artist. Get lost in her immersive music and see the bewitching Welsh wonder for yourselves. Sian Parmar

Further Consideration Of Locating Critical Criteria In Dog Collar

Today’s plastic surgery marketplace is highly commercialized, with many doctors (and sometimes even non-doctors) claiming specialization certification. Anyone with a medical license can legally perform almost any procedure in their office, and additional specialized training is voluntary. Choosing your plastic surgeon might be one of the most important decisions you make, but finding the right one can be extremely difficult and confusing.
So, how do you choose the right plastic surgeon for you?
Accreditation and training
Before you choose a surgeon, you’ll want to make sure that he or she has been properly certified and works at an accredited hospital. The Joint Commission International (JCI) is a global organization that provides accreditation to hospitals that meet a high standard of patient safety and health care. If your surgeon works at a JCI-accredited facility or at a level one hospital, that means that they are accredited to provide you with high quality care. When looking for a plastic surgeon abroad, it’s also a good idea to find surgeons who have done some or all of their training in the US, Europe or Canada.
At MedRepublic, we hold our surgeons to a high standard. Our MedRepublic medical advisory board, comprised of US-trained doctors, screens and interviews all providers appearing on the platform. Additionally, the advisory board verifies each provider’s education experience and credentials, including board certification and licensing. Our physicians are in good standing with the medical community and are world-class candidates to provide top-notch care.
Experience in your desired procedure
Each area of plastic surgery is different, so you need to make sure that your surgeon has a lot of experience in the specific procedure you desire. You can ask the following questions to gauge their experience:
- How did you train in this procedure?
- How long have you been performing this procedure?
- How many times have you done this procedure?
All of MedRepublic’s surgeons have at least 3 years of experience in their given field, including having performed each offered procedure successfully at least 50 times.
Check the surgeon’s record
You can ask your surgeon to see before and after photos of his/her previous patients, and even to speak with patients before you. It’s also a good idea to do some research online about whether they have any malpractice suits against them. At MedRepublic, only surgeons who have no history of current or repeated legal malpractice appear on the platform.
Know the surgeon’s aesthetic taste
In addition to technical skills, plastic surgery entails having an eye for aesthetics. Surgeons may differ in what they think is “beautiful,” and their vision might differ from yours. Even if a friend recommends a particular surgeon, their aesthetics may not be the same as yours. Look closely at results of your surgeon’s past procedures. Do they appeal to you personally? Look especially for patients that have similar characteristics as you – do their results look like the results you desire?
Do you like your surgeon?
It seems like a simple question, and it is. You’re going to be spending a lot of time with your plastic surgeon before and after surgery. Do you feel comfortable with your surgeon? Do you like spending time with him or her? Do you trust him or her? If your answer is “no” to any of the above, it’s not a good fit.
Pay attention to the facility and whether the surgeon has hospital privileges
Like the surgeon, the facility needs to be accredited, as does the anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist should either be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist or a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. It’s always worth asking where the surgeon has hospital privileges, even if you’re having plastic surgery at an outpatient clinic. Hospitals do background checks, so if the surgeon doesn’t have hospital privileges, that’s a red flag.
Be cautious about multiple procedures at the same time
When you have multiple procedures at the same time, that increases your risk of complications. Unfortunately, since surgeons make more money the more procedures you have, financial motivation may make a surgeon make unethical choices. If your surgeon is pushing for you to have multiple procedures at once, that’s also a red flag. This is not to say that multiple procedures are not an option that can be pursued safely, but to be wary if your surgeon is the one pushing for it, not you.
Doing your due diligence before choosing your surgeon can save you from major issues down the line after surgery. Asking the right questions and doing research takes more energy and time now, but will pay off immensely in the long run.

Striking example of Jodocus Hondius' decorative map of the Iberian Peninsula, first issued circa 1610.
Hondius' Nova Hispaniae Descriptio is the first carte-a-figures map of the region and one of the most striking 17th century printed maps of Spain.
Based on Gerard Mercator's map of Spain, the map is surrounded by plans, city views, and characters in the dress of the day. The top margin includes views of the cities of Alhama, Granada, Bilbao, Burgos, Vélez-Málaga, and Écija. At the bottom are shown Lisbon, Toledo, Sevilla, and Valladolid. In the bottom right corner is a Renaissance cartouche crowned by the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Spain, flanked with two seated male figures and decorated by three figureheads. On the sides, three female and three male figures in distinctive costumes represent the nobility, merchant, and peasant classes.
In the bottom margin is a medallion with the portrait of King Philip III of Spain, and an inscription with the king's name. In the bottom left corner, the scale appears in a pedestal below the emblem of the publishing house.
The publisher, Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612), was an acclaimed Flemish printer who lived in Amsterdam and specialized in the production of maps and globes. He was a friend of Gerard Mercator and edited his atlas. In 1604, Hondius purchased Mercator's plates from his heirs and published a new edition of the atlas, which was constantly expanded and became quite popular in the 17th century. This map is not dated, but the portrait of King Philip III of Spain (1598-1621) and Hondius's date of death suggest it was published around 1610.
Jodocus Hondius the Elder (1563-1612), or Joost de Hondt, was one of the most prominent geographers and engravers of his time. His work did much to establish Amsterdam as the center of cartographic publishing in the seventeenth century. Born in Wakken but raised in Ghent, the young Jodocus worked as an engraver, instrument maker, and globe maker.
Hondius moved to London in 1584, fleeing religious persecution in Flanders. There, he worked for Richard Hakluyt and Edward Wright, among others. Hondius also engraved the globe gores for Emery Molyneux’s pair of globes in 1592; Wright plotted the coastlines. His engraving and nautical painting skills introduced him to an elite group of geographic knowledge seekers and producers, including the navigators Drake, Thomas Cavendish, and Walter Raleigh, as well as engravers like Theodor De Bry and Augustine Ryther. This network gave Hondius access to manuscript charts and descriptions which he then translated into engraved maps.
In 1593 Hondius returned to Amsterdam, where he lived for the rest of his life. Hondius worked in partnership with Cornelis Claesz, a publisher, and maintained his ties to contacts in Europe and England. For example, from 1605 to 1610, Hondius engraved the plates for John Speed’s Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine.
One of Hondius’ most successful commercial ventures was the reprinting of Mercator’s atlas. When he acquired the Mercator plates, he added 36 maps, many engraved by him, and released the atlas under Mercator’s name, helping to solidify Mercator’s reputation posthumously. Hondius died in 1612, at only 48 years of age, after which time his son of the same name and another son, Henricus, took over the business, including the reissuing of the Mercator atlas. After 1633, Hondius the Elder’s son-in-law, Johannes Janssonius, was also listed as a co-publisher for the atlas.

'Bahot dino se mann mein baat thi': Akshay Kumar breaks silence on drug problem in Bollywood
New Delhi | Jagran Entertainment Desk: Amid the ongoing controversy over alleged drug nexus in Bollywood, superstar Akshay Kumar made a heartfelt appeal to fans as well as the media urging them to not paint every film personality with the same brush. In an almost four-minutes-long video, the 53-year-old actor addressed the coverage of drug probe in relation with actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
He said that drug issue exists in Bollywood, like any other industry, but one shouldn’t assume that every person in the profession is part of the problem. "Today, I'm talking to you with a heavy heart. I want to say so many things in the past few weeks but there is so much negativity everywhere," he said.
"We may be called stars, but Bollywood has been created because of your love. We are not just an industry, but through our films we have showcased Indian values and culture throughout the world," Mr Kumar said.
Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB) is probing the alleged Bollywood drug-nexus and has till now arrested Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and some suspected drug peddlers. The federal agency has also questioned Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan as a part of the investigation. Amid the probe, Bollywood has faced wrath of many on social media and various other platforms for being a negative influence on cinema fans.
Last month Producers Guild of India, which has 136 members including biggies like Aditya Chopra, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan and Vishal Bhardwaj, criticised media for "peddling" what it termed "clickbait journalism".

Even though I don’t share every single creation, I thought this one was worthy. Made this last night and was absolutely quick, easy, healthy and delish. I prefer to eat cold food after working out/running, and of course it has to be quick, so I either have cereal with almond milk, make a really cold shake or whip up a salad.
First time I use Tofu noodles in a recipe and was quite happy with the result. They are gluten-free and vegan. Now, don’t be discouraged by the smell when you first open the package and prepare per the instructions, including rinsing before putting into boiling water.
I mixed the broccoli slaw with the Honey Ginger dressing and peanuts while the noodles where boiling. After noodles were done, I rinsed in cold water chopped a little and mixed with slaw. This will taste better if you let marinate for a little, 15 mins will do.
Optionally serve with chopped chives.
The mix of the slaw and peanuts crunchiness nicely complemented with the soft noodles… And oh so refreshing…
Do you have a preference about eating hot or cold foods after working out?

Informed citizen schools federal government on Covid vaccine safety and efficacy
Posted BY: Infowars.com
Sam Dodson, an electrical engineer, called out the FDA for doing “nothing” regarding the “massive safety signals” connected to the experimental Covid vaccines, colluding with pharmaceutical companies to suppress trial data for 75 years, ignoring fraudulent data, ignoring adverse events like myocarditis and prion diseases and ignoring issues with infertility.
Also, don’t miss Dr. Clare Craig, co-chair of the HART group, covering the massive anomalies stemming from the latest 6mos to 4-year-old COVID vaccine trial data. Her findings shocked her and they will shock you as well.
When you peel away the veneer of reality, you can see the true face of those who want to control your body.

Welsh Water is the sixth largest of the ten regulated water and sewerage companies in England and Wales and is responsible for providing over 3 million people with drinking water and for treatment and disposal of wastewater. They are committed to delivering best quality service at least possible cost. Since 2001, DCWW has been owned, financed and managed by Glas Cymru, which is a company limited by guarantee and as such has no shareholders and is run solely for the benefit of customers. This business model aims to reduce Welsh Water's asset financing cost, the water industry's single biggest cost, and improve service delivery by employing best in class contract partners for each business activity.
Under Glas Cymru's ownership, Welsh Water's assets and capital investment are financed by bonds and retained financial surpluses. All day-to-day activities are carried out by specialist contract partners selected following a competitive procurement process, therefore the company out sources all engineering and operational activities. Efficiency savings to date have been used to insulate Welsh Water customers from any unexpected costs and also to improve credit quality so that Welsh Water's cost of finance can be kept as low as possible. This funding model is unique in the UK, it allows DCWW to take a longer term view of investment than is common in the UK as a result DCWW has developed ‘Green Space Wales’ - an initiative to promote natural drainage to help the sewerage network cope better with climate change and increasing urbanisation and to reduce incidents of sewage flooding. This work is currently being developed as part of a surface water management strategy by MWH on behalf of DCWW. As part of this initiative, DCWW is engaging with partners throughout Wales to raise awareness of what can be done to reduce the risk of sewer flooding due to intense rain storms and the increasing amount of surface water run-off from roofs and paved areas. Wales is a UK leader in utilising natural drainage to reduce sewer flooding, they are already working with the Welsh Assembly Government, the Environment Agency Wales, the Consumer Council for Water and the Welsh Local Government Association to raise awareness and engage on this issue. They have experience in not only utilising innovative rainwater management techniques but in also developing effective methods for public participation in such initiatives.
