X-Core Galactic Plague Strategy Surely this will be a new game for you; when you come to X-Core Galactic, you are no longer a superhero or legendary character to protect the world. With this game, you will play as one of the evil invaders from aliens. Players will be really spooky and cruel in this game when you will perform summoning rituals or sacrifices. At that time, the people of the earth will submit and act as your assistant. Not only that, trying to spread disease to the earth, can take place in real or in spirit. Find ways to destroy humanity, but pay attention to not being disadvantaged.
BELIEVING AND WORSHIPING ANCIENT FORCES WITH EXCITING STRATEGIC WAYS
A new race officially begins when you join X-Core Galactic. This is a unique tactical action game. Honestly, you’re not only making strategy in this game, but you also have to participate in hundreds of never-ending wars. You are one of the cultists of the ancient power, and to be able to complete the tasks excellently, you must possess the ultimate intelligence. Really, when you come to this game, you will be the head of the dark alien forces and try to take over the earth by all means.
BE BRUTAL WHEN DETERMINED TO SPREAD THE DISEASE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH
Players will become brutal and extremely cruel when coming to X-Core Galactic. You will find all kinds of ways to tame the earth’s humans and perform barbaric summoning or sacrifice rituals to make them your assistants or fighters. Not only that, the player must determine that they will come up with remedies and ways to spread the insane mental illness to humanity. Or you try to win people over with horrible infectious diseases.
COME UP WITH A MENTALLY CRUEL STRATEGY TO DESTROY ALL OF HUMANITY
When entering this game, you are entering a new world without justice or peace. Instead, you will be immersed in wars, madness, and guilt. Every time you spread a pandemic, you feel refreshed, and that feeling is really new. By all means, make sure you can destroy humanity with the most sinister tactics.
AVOID THE TEMPTATION AND DO THE WRONG RITUAL IF YOU DON’T WANT TO GO CRAZY
I must remind you that, in the process of conquering the human race, there are often barbaric strategies released. You have to be careful that you don’t get too deep into it, so you don’t get tempted or go crazy. In addition, every war in this game takes place regularly, and the invasion scale is expanded after each level. Players will make invasions in secret ways. Until your forces are powerful enough, make them public.
OVER 15 UNIQUE ALIEN SPECIES THAT ALLOW YOU TO TRANSFORM OR CONTROL
X-Core Galactic gives you more than 15 alien species that allow you to control and transform. One of them is the Grays – with their intelligent nature, they are able to come up with a strategy quickly. Reptiloids – have a ferocious appearance and, with it, superhuman health. In addition, there are many other species, all of which offer robust and unique characteristics. In particular, you must determine that there is no danger of the wars on earth breaking out.
GROW YOUR INVADING EMPIRE BY UPGRADING OVER 50 VARIANTS
Players can expand their territory by invading more galaxies. Not only that, in each fight, you have to know the percentage you have a chance of winning. Know the best situation and time to invade the earth. It is always best to open war at a time when people are preparing their forces to fight. On the other hand, players can also upgrade and develop their elements with more than 50 powerful variations in X-Core Galactic.
- This is really a unique game when you are one of the evil forces from aliens; you believe & worship the ancient believers and want to do bad things.
- Players will be ruthless and determined to infect all people on Earth, trying to spread epidemics of mental epidemic phenomena to humanity.
- You will become mighty by acting in secret and making a series of invasions openly; the wars never end in this game.
- Try, with your strength & intelligence, to do everything to take over the earth, mainly to prevent all rebellions from taking place on the ground.
- More than 15 alien species allow you to control and transform; they are mighty and unique; in addition, you can also upgrade your characters with 50 different variations.

The singer and YouTube star’s future with the BBC ballroom show is now back on track after he received a negative test result on Thursday.
HRVY, who has been isolating since being diagnosed with coronavirus, revealed the news in a tweet that read: “He’s free from Covid, he’s a free elf now… thank you for all the kind messages, I tested negative today so I’m back, love you guys and see you all soon”.
Filming for the new series of the BBC ballroom show kicks off on Monday, with all the celebrities and professional dancers recording the launch show.
HuffPost UK understands that HRVY will now be able to take part given his negative result.
The BBC previously said in a statement following his diagnosis: “We have rigorous protocols in place to manage Covid-19 as the safety of all those involved in the production is paramount.”
Last month, Strictly’s executive producer Sarah James confirmed that once the series was underway, any cast members who tested positive would need to self-isolate for two weeks, meaning they’d be unable to continue with the series.
Strictly bosses have already had to make some big adjustments to this year’s series due to the coronavirus crisis, including cutting the show’s run and fewer contestants taking part than usual.
The annual Blackpool special has also been axed, while judge Bruno Tonioli will be unable to take his usual seat on the panel, because of travel commitments, although he will offer weekly critiques via video-link in the results show each Sunday night.
Strictly will launch on Saturday 17 October, with the first live show airing the following week.

Zambia, Lesotho, Malawi, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe — not exactly marvels of good nutrition — have been destroying food shipments from America. Why? This will sound like a sick joke, but they are afraid of genetically-modified foods. These countries have now expressed official opposition to American food entering their country, at a time when almost 3 million Zambians, to cite just one example, desperately need food aid.
There is another villain in the story, namely some of the European nations. The Africans fear that if they accept genetically-modified foods, the seeds will mix with their current crops. Europe will then be reluctant to import African foodstuffs. By the way, Greenpeace opposes the food shipments as well.
Peter Pringle offers a good survey of the debates on genetically-modified foodstuffs.

Bust of Martin Luther King Jr. (Alston) facts for kids
A bronze bust of Martin Luther King Jr. was made by African-American artist Charles Alston in 1970, two years after King was assassinated. Alston received a commission from the Reverend Donald S. Harrington, of the Community Church of New York, to create a bust of King for $5,000. Five bronze busts were cast in 1970, each approximately 32 centimetres (13 in) high.
One cast was acquired in 1974 for the collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, but has been on long-term loan to the White House since 2000, under the administration of Bill Clinton. It was displayed in the White House Library, and was reputedly the first image of an African American on public display in the White House. The bust was moved to the Oval Office in 2009 by Barack Obama, where it was displayed along with a bust of Abraham Lincoln. It replaced a bust of Winston Churchill by Jacob Epstein that had been a loan to George W. Bush from the British Government Art Collection. In January 2017, Donald Trump placed another Epstein Churchill bust belonging to the White House in the Oval Office but also retained the bust of King. Alston's sculpture of Martin Luther King Jr. remained in a prominent position at the Oval Office when Joe Biden began his presidency in January 2021. It is currently displayed near a bust of Robert F. Kennedy, with both sculptures flanking the fireplace in the office.
A second cast of Alston's bust of King was donated to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in January 2016.

The girl knows she’s different. She doesn’t age. She has no family. She has visions of a past life, but no clear clues as to what she is, or where she comes from. But there is a face in her dreams – a light that breaks through the darkness. She knows his name is Gabriel.
On her way home from work, the girl encounters an injured stranger whose name is Jonah. Soon, she will understand that Jonah belongs to a generation of Vampires that serve even darker forces. Jonah and the few like him, are fighting with help from an unlikely ally – a rogue Angel, named Gabriel.
In the crossfire between good and evil, love and hate, and life and death, the girl learns her name: Lailah. But when the lines between black and white begin to blur, where in the spectrum will she find her place? And with whom?
Gabriel and Jonah both want to protect her. But Lailah will have to fight her own battle to find out who she truly is.
The moment I first read the synopsis for Lailah I just knew it was something I had to read. Vampires and angels in one book? Awesome! I was also intrigued by Lailah’s character needing to find out who she was and how this would all fit into one world. And I must say on a whole I enjoyed what I discovered.
Francesca, or Lailah as we come to find out is her true name, is all alone, drifting from place to place just to get by. She has these memories and dreams and knows she is immortal somehow, but doesn’t seem able to put the pieces of her life together. She is searching for a face she knows from these past memories who may have the answers, a boy named Gabriel. And when she finds herself in the middle of a mess with Vampires and a boy named Jonah, she just so happens to find the one she’s been looking for as well as a world of trouble coming her way.
My very favorite aspect of this novel that worked tremendously for me was the world the author created. Here we have Angels who come from a dimension called Styclar-Plena, a place born from light that is sustained by souls. Pureblood Vampires are from the third dimension, or as mortals refer to it, Hell. Purebloods create their own clans with Second Generation Vampires, gaining complete control over them. This is where Jonah and the other vampires we meet fit in since they were able to break free of their Masters with the help of Gabriel, an angel. How it all worked was very clever and different from other angel and vampire books I have read before. When we discover the details of Styclar-Plena, I was entranced. How it was all explained was very detailed and worked parallel with what mortals believe of Heaven and angels but it didn’t come from a religious background. I had never seen that done before and it was intriguing to me. How Lailah fit in with it all was also a great addition.
As far as characters go, I have to say Jonah the Vampire was my favorite. That was a complete surprise to me because I thought for sure it would be Gabriel. But Jonah was a bit of a flirt and played up his Vampire charm. He could absolutely be doing something bad and wrong but somehow it all worked for him. I really don’t feel like I got to know Gabriel enough to really connect with him, honestly. And that is probably because he is purposely holding himself back at arms length and keeping secrets and truths from Lailah until he can gather all the facts. It could get annoying but I also saw the purpose. Lailah… well she fell a little flat for me. Her voice wasn’t very strong and she often came off as childish and selfish. Especially when it came to the two boys. Some of her dreams and memories were confusing to me and I felt like I just wasn’t getting it at times. However, I feel like the Lailah we might see in book two could be a vast improvement.
When Lailah finally finds out the truth on who she is, it is not something that is unknown to the reader, since we get some early insight in the Prologue but the author threw in some surprises that I didn’t expect, in fact I have a whole other theory that was completely wrong. I slapped myself for that but I love when theories are wrong and I can think back to all the clues I missed or misread.
Overall, I liked the base of this story and the series. I did have some issues with character development as well as some of the filler scenes that just felt unnecessary, too convenient or confusing, but I am intrigued on where this series may go and I look forward to the next installment.

Starting on the 15th of May 2022, the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour launched in Durban, South Africa. This particular one was unique from its predecessors; not only was it on the African Soil for the first time, but it was the first time children were involved in the deliberations. The children and youth present at the event spoke extensively about their own experiences with child labour in their countries and what their peers experience. They all represented millions of children in and out of child labour. Amongst these young activists, a few stood out, with significant positions in youth organisations, national podcasts, and major strides in their work against child labour.
In our present-day, decent fashion is a long-forgotten art. A lot of people tend to shy away from modest fashion because they think it is not popular, fashionable, trendy, or in vogue.

Update: For all the Premier League action live click HERE
Liverpool did not have the greatest of times at the Emirates last weekend, where Arsenal eased past them to go five points clear in the English Premier League table.
On Saturday, Brendan Rodgers will expect a response from his side when they host struggling Fulham at Anfield.
The Arsenal fixture was supposed to be a measure of Liverpool's capabilities to cut it with the top teams this season; they did not pass that test with flying colours, but it will be soon forgotten if they can pick up all three points against Fulham with an authoritative performance thrown in for good measure.
"Having analysed the [Arsenal] game twice afterwards, I thought they had better control of the game than us; that's something that is part of our identity that we're looking to improve," Rodgers said. "But in terms of chances, we could have got something from the game. That always gives us great hope. We didn't play to our maximum but we still could have had something from it.
"We're just looking to grow and improve our level in every aspect. That's something we'll continue to work on.
"If you look at where we're at, if you're averaging two points a game you would like to think you would get into the Champions League. Come Saturday, if we can get another three points -- which we'll be fighting hard for -- that would take us above that."
Fulham have looked out of sorts this season, with fans calling for manager Martin Jol to be sacked, after seeing their team languishing near the bottom of the table with just ten points from ten matches.
Jol, though, believes Fulham are just a win or two away from finding their form and starting that climb up the table. "We experienced this before at this club over the last 10 years, so hopefully we will get results," Jol said. "Look at Cardiff City. They were in the same position then they won the derby game against Swansea City and now they're fine.
"So that's what we look for, we look for a few results. You have to start somewhere to get wins under your belt and then go from there. We need a few surprise results and maybe we can start against Liverpool."
Team News: Liverpool welcome back Glen Johnson, after the right-back was missed sorely in the loss to Arsenal last weekend due to illness. "Glen Johnson will be fit," Rodgers said. "He's fine. He's trained this week - it was just one of those peculiar things that happened.
"Maybe if it had been a day earlier, he may have been able to play. But he's fine for the game and has looked good in training this week."
Fellow fullback Jose Enrique could also return for the first time since the beginning of October, with the Spaniard set to undergo a late fitness test.
Fulham will have to do without Sascha Riether, who starts a three-match ban, handed retrospectively for stamping on Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj. Hugo Rodallega and Matthew Briggs also miss out, but Brede Hangeland could make a return from injury.
Key men: Liverpool: Has to be the SAS combine of Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez, who will be raring to go after being kept rather quiet by the Arsenal defenders last weekend.
Fulham: Dimitar Berbatov has not been his usual best this season. Maybe a big game against Liverpool is the kind of challenge that the former Manchester United man requires to get his campaign up and running.
Where to watch
The game is scheduled for an 8.30 pm IST start with live coverage on Star Sports HD1. You can also catch the match live online by clicking the official link HERE.
Expected lineups: Liverpool: Mignolet; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Cissokho; Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson; Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho.
Fulham: Stekelenburg; Hughes, Senderos, Amorebieta, Richardson; Sidwell, Parker; Kasami, Berbatov, Kacaniklic; Bent.
Prediction: 2-0 to Liverpool

“In the name of the father, son and holy spirit let’s play ball.”
With that inspirational message from seminarian Christopher Ballard, the annual ‘Men in Black’ basketball game packed the St. Joseph’s gymnasium Friday night in Camillus as parishioners from throughout the Syracuse area came out to watch local priests and seminarians go toe-to-toe with CYO basketball teams to raise awareness of the priesthood.
Father Joe O’Connor, director of Vocation Promotion for the Syracuse Diocese and coordinator of the game, said the event is a fun way to remind young men that the Catholic priesthood is a fun and healthy vocational option.
“It’s my job to get young men to think about the priesthood,” O’Connor said. A task often considered challenging, O’Connor said his perception is different: “I am creating a culture of vocational awareness and support,” he explained.
The church is well aware of the dropping numbers – in it’s most recent study, Georgetown’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate found in 2008 there were 40,580 thousand priests in America, down from 58,632 in 1965. But O’Connor said it’s quality, not quantity, that counts.
“Although it’s harder to have fewer (men interested in the priesthood), there is something exciting about it,” he said, noting that those who do make the commitment to the seminary and Catholic church are more likely to stick with it.
And with events like the MIB game, both men eligible for the priesthood and their families are afforded a more in-depth look into the lives of priests.
Among the MIB stars was Baldwinsville’s Chris Ballard, 25, currently studying at St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore. Ballard’s grandmother, Arlene Luckette, was at the game along with extended family to cheer Ballard on. Luckette said her grandson announced at the age of 14 that he was being called to the priesthood, a decision he pursued directly after graduating Baker High School. Ballard will be fully ordained in June 2010 and begin service in the Syracuse Diocese.
Ballard participated in last week’s MIB game in Utica, as well as Friday’s event, and said it was partially designed to remind parishioners and potential priests that not all men of the cloth are “crotchety old men.”
“We’re normal, we play sports,” Ballard joked. Yes, he even had a girlfriend in high school, all the while known as “Father Chris” to his teammates and friends.
“My friends weren’t terribly shocked,” Ballard remembered. “I was always interested in the church … I think the challenge is helping people to understand that this is another opportunity, look at what we’re accomplishing, what we’re achieving.”
For those in the audience for whom the seminary is not an option, the game was still exciting and entertaining.
Barbara Cooper, of Eastwood in Syracuse, attended the game with family to watch Fr. Kevin Maloney. Maloney is the parochial vicar at Blessed Sacrament in Eastwood, and Cooper pointed him out during warm-ups as “the hotdog.”
“I think it’s a great idea to let kids see priests have fun — they’re not just praying all the time,” Cooper laughed.

The county recently adopted a revised salary and benefit package for its thousands of employees that will save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars in future costs.
“Chairman Cronin hit the ground running and has handled several important issues, including the landmark compensation and benefits reform to help the county stay on a path of fiscal solvency,” said Chamber President & CEO John Schmitt. “I would encourage all business leaders to attend Cronin’s State of the County Address and learn about what’s been accomplished and what lies ahead in the future."
Seating is limited, so preregistration is strongly encouraged. Cost to attend is $25 for Members and $35 for nonmembers. Register online at www.naperville.net or over the phone by calling the Chamber at 630-355-4141.

Purpose of review: Phytosterols are plant sterols structurally similar to cholesterol that act in the intestine to lower cholesterol absorption. Because they have very low systemic absorption and are already present in healthy diets, increasing the intake of phytosterols may be a practical way to reduce coronary heart disease with minimum risk.
Recent findings: Phytosterols displace cholesterol from intestinal micelles, reducing the pool of absorbable cholesterol, but they are also rapidly taken up by enterocytes and increase expression of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette A1 sterol transporter. Phytosterol esters dissolved in food fat reduce LDL-cholesterol by 10% at a maximum effective dose of 2 g/day. However, this work probably understates the true effectiveness of phytosterols because it does not account for those naturally present in baseline diets. Single meal studies show that phytosterols in intact foods are bioactive at doses as low as 150 mg. The potential effectiveness of phytosterols has been improved in several ways. Individuals most likely to respond have been identified as having high cholesterol absorption and low cholesterol biosynthesis. Phytosterols can be emulsified with lecithin and delivered in non-fat or low-fat foods and beverages, and the amount of fat in fat-based preparations can be reduced substantially with the retention of bioactivity.
Summary: Phytosterols effectively reduce LDL-cholesterol when given as supplements, and the smaller amounts in natural foods also appear to be important. Future work will focus on the better delivery of phytosterols in natural foods and supplements and on further defining the mechanisms of action.

Thank you so much for coming and writing this review. I agree that this view is magical. I wonder why anyone can leave the master bedroom in the morning.

CAIRO: The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) indexes showed a mixed performance during Sunday’s early and mid-session trading, hammered by selling pressures on some blue chips topped by the largest weighting on the gauge CIB stock.
The benchmark index EGX30 dropped 0.68 percent to hit at 8,282 points, lower than Thursday’s close at 8,340 points. In turn, the small and mid-cap index EGX70 slightly added 0.11 percent to hit 590 points while the broader index EGX100 fell 0.06 percent to reach 1,036 points.
Market capitalization lost around 700 million EGP, registering 480 billion EGP, compared to 480.7 billion EGP Thursday. Turnover amounted to318.9 million EGP.
technical analyst at El-Mokattam Securities Brokerage and member of the Egyptian Society of Technical Analysts (ESTA) Walid Helal attributed the decline to selling pressures on leading shares topped CIB, Beltone Holding.
“Completing corporations’ financial results for Fiscal Year 2013-2014 which coincided with the escalated violent insurgency in Iraq while Ramadan approaches triggered intensive sell-offs,” Helal told The Cairo Post.
“The benchmark is expected to be heading down toward 8,100-8,150 points after breaching its stop-loss level of 8,500 points,” Technical Analysis Desk at Naeem Brokerage head Ibrahim El-Nemr said.
He said that a breach below 8,100 may drag it lower toward 7,720 points.
Last week, EGX indexes lost ground and market capitalization shed more than 15 billion EGP ($2.1 billion) following the swearing-in of the new Cabinet. EGX30 plunged 4.64 percent to end the week at 8,340 points, down from 8,746 points last week.

On my recent trip to Paris, my travel partner and I pondered this question a million times: Are we sure we don’t want to go into the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa?
Our choice to miss out on one of the world’s finest art galleries was a conscious one. It wasn’t that we had no interest, it was that we didn’t have enough time to see everything – an obvious realization on action-packed trips to Europe. This is when priorities come in – and you wouldn’t want to regret not visiting a cherished attraction when you never know when life will bring you back to France’s capital city – which ranked third for the most visited city in 2014 after Bangkok and London.
Whenever we were trying to decide whether or not to invest our time or money in something, we asked if we would regret it.
We were on Contiki Holidays’ London and Paris tour. It was a short one, where the two cities were squeezed into seven days, with some of our new acquaintances moving on to Rome, Amsterdam, or staying longer in Paris like we were.
Contiki’s mantra is “No Regrets” – and this perspective helped us with our decision making.
Would we regret not spending 149 euros to see a Moulin Rouge performance? Would we regret not indulging in a Nutella-banana crepe on our last night in Paris after we were full from dinner? Would we regret not standing in line to purchase overpriced macarons from the famous Laduree? My answer was yes to these three things – so I did them.
When we asked if we would regret not going into the Louvre, the answer was no. I love art, I just don’t love crowds of people pushing their way up close, constant clicks and (prohibited) flashes of cameras and interruption of the should-be peaceful environment I had hoped for.
I got my fill of Monets, Manets, and Van Goghs in the Musée d’Orsay, housed in a beautiful old train station. But for some reason, I was not inclined to stand in front of Da Vinci’s famous portrait. Perhaps it was because of hearsay: how small people say the painting is, how hot the museum was, and how crowded and noisy it gets – and that was a set up for disappointment. But those who visit Paris, or Europe in general during peak season, have come to expect these circumstances.
Aside from the Mona Lisa, the Musée du Louvre is home to the famous Venus de Milo sculpture, usually the second work of art on Louvre must-see lists. The museum also houses works by Rembrant, Vermeer, Rubens, and Michelangelo.
The idea of walking into a building filled with over 35,000 works of art is overwhelming. I saw it from the outside, and the building is a masterpiece in itself. The Louvre’s glass Pyramid, which acts as the museum’s main entrance, was built in 1989.
It wasn’t the money or even the lines that deterred us from entering the Louvre. It was the time commitment of all there was to see – and a need to spend a whole day, or at least half, exploring its interior. Time is precious when you’re on a schedule in Europe.
Instead, I spent my time in Paris enjoying a picnic under the Eiffel Tower, popping in and out of stores to admire hand-crafts and crafted-sweets, and meandering the cobbled streets in search of hidden treasures.
You can’t see everything when you travel, but it is important to compromise with your travel partner. Decide on what you must-see, what you would like to see if you have the time, and what you don’t want to bother with.
This is not to say I will never go into the Louvre, or that I don’t want to see the Mona Lisa. But for this trip, I just knew it wouldn’t make me smile as much as seeing artists paint portraits atop of Montmontre or visiting the Marché aux Puces flea market in a quieter area of the city. Everyone’s travel styles are different – and I don’t regret it.

SEASON 1 | EPISODE 4
CMarie Fuhrman: Hells Canyon Revival
3.12.2021 // PODCAST SEASON ONE
If you aren’t already familiar with CMarie Fuhrman, we are happy to introduce you to her today. CMarie’s body of work includes poems, essays, books – gorgeous prose and observations on place, history, and the more-than-human world. She is the nonfiction editor at High Desert Journal, and director of the Elk River Writers Workshop. CMarie lives in the mountains of Idaho with her partner Caleb and their dogs, Carhartt and Cisco.
In this episode of The Freeflow Podcast, CMarie reads a new iteration of her essay, “Hells Canyon Revival,” which was first published in 2017. CMarie’s story takes us to Hells Canyon on the Snake River, where she explores several dualities with her characteristically thoughtful prose. She considers the art and cultural histories that are buried beneath impounded water, the limitations of language, and one ancient salmon hidden behind bars, high above the waterline.
Hells Canyon dam is the next dam upriver from Lower Granite, which is the one of the four dams on the Lower Snake being considered for decommissioning after Republican Idaho congressman Mike Simpson recently proposed a controversial $33 billion plan to dismantle the earthen portions of these dams. The dam issue is not as simple as clean energy (or hydropower) and infrastructure versus healthy ecosystems and survival of salmon and killer whales. The Lower Snake River dam debacle is, on both sides of the discussion, an issue of legacy and pride.
CMarie’s essay is a personal account of her relationship to the Snake River, the tension within the landscape and its history, and her place within its remaining wildness. After her reading of “Hells Canyon Revival,” CMarie discusses the myriad binaries within the narrative and her own complicated history of relationship to rivers.

- Report: Higher Premiums If Trump Halts 'Obamacare' Subsidies Associated Press by Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar — Premiums for a popular type of individual health care plan would rise sharply, and more people would be left with no insurance options if President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to stop "Obamacare" payments to insurers, the Congressional Budget Office says. The nonpartisan number crunchers also estimated that cutting off payments that now reduce copays and deductibles for people of modest incomes would add $194 billion to federal deficits over a decade. That head-scratching outcome is because a different Affordable Care Act subsidy would automatically increase as premiums jump, more than wiping out any savings.
- Trump Administration, Facing Pressure, Agrees to Continue Obamacare Subsidy for Now Los Angeles Times by David Lauter — The decision to make this month's payment, which was due next week, signaled that the administration has decided against immediately precipitating a collapse, potentially giving Congress time to pass a bipartisan package of fixes to some of the law's problems. Leading Republican members of Congress have pressed the administration to keep making the payments, fearing that any move to cut them off would cause chaos in insurance markets. Trump has said voters would blame Democrats for any problems with the markets, but few Republican elected officials share that view.


|A household is evacuated due to illegal aquaculture in Bái Tử Long Bay, Cẩm Phả City in the northern coastal province of Quảng Ninh. VNA/VNS Photo
QUẢNG NINH — Aquaculture production in Bái Tử Long Bay, Cẩm Phả City in the northern coastal province of Quảng Ninh is the livelihood of hundreds of households - but many are encroaching illegally on the waters here.
Authorities say almost 100 households are moving in on the bay for illegal aquaculture, causing environmental pollution.
Despite being fined multiple times for violations, many households continue their activities, claiming that it is the only way they can make a living.
Since August 5, Cẩm Phả City has implemented the relocation of cages and foam buoys encroaching on the waterways for illegal aquaculture. The city’s authority has deterred 74 cases of violations and seized nearly 400 foam buoys and 125 bamboo arrays in an area of about five hectares for illegal aquaculture.
Currently, there are 24 violating households left. Of that, 13 have asked to have more time to relocate and 11 were forced to move.
These households have shown disagreements when being asked to relocate their illegal aquaculture production. Many have gathered on Cạp Vọ Island in Cẩm Trung Ward and asked for more time to harvest before moving out.
They claim that they have borrowed billions of đồng to invest in raising breeding with the hope that they would have a source of income to pay the debt after more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the past two years, oysters and clams could not be sold or sold at very low prices, causing heavy losses for fishermen. The relocation at this time would cause the losses of billions of đồng and put them in debt, they said.
|An aquaculture farmer works with the authorities concerning illegal aquaculture production. VNA/VNS Photo
Since 2018, the city’s forces have detected violations by many households. Although the city required these households to dismantle and relocate their cages, they did not comply.
Due to loose management, the households have accepted the fines and continued to start new crops after harvesting.
According to the city’s Economic Office, there are two biggest consequences of illegal farming on the sea route.
Most households have raised aquaculture on the sea route, even the national waterway, affecting the traffic flow and water safety.
In addition, illegal production has caused severe environmental pollution, affecting the beauty and ecology of Bái Tử Long Bay.
An aquaculture farmer, who wished to remain anonymous, said he kept expanding the raising area in order to make a living and earn money to repay bank loans.
He said he accepted to be fined but will continue his business.
Phan Văn Kính, Vice Chairman of Cẩm Phả City People's Committee said the city's security order and an environmental inspection team were assigned to be in charge of the issue.
However, it was the responsibility of both the team and the unit in charge of the sea area when illegal aquaculture activities haven’t been deterred since 2018.
The city has requested the violating households to pay fines and relocate as soon as possible.
On August 29, the city’s People's Committee temporarily suspended the work of four officials involved in illegal aquaculture in Bái Tử Long Bay.
The four officers and employees of the city’s security order and environment inspection team are Phạm Thành Nam, deputy head of the team, Trần Văn Hùng, Đoàn Quốc Hiệp, and Bùi Duy Tùng.
They have been suspended from work for 15 days for the inspection of the city’s Party Committee's Inspection Committee involved in illegal aquaculture violations in the bay.
The committee said to avoid the recurrence of illegal aquaculture, it had assigned commune authorities to strictly manage the marine area, establish inspection and control groups on sea routes, and coordinate with the police and the military command board to conduct daily inspection and control over the sea area.
Any violations would be handled immediately, he said. — VNS

1. Tom Cruise sues tabloids for $50 million
Celebrities are accustomed to being blasted on the covers of tabloids, but according to Tom Cruise, two magazine have crossed the line into libel land. Cruise is suing Life & Style over a July article titled "Suri in tears: Abandoned by her dad," and In Touch over a cover with the headline "Abandoned by daddy," reports TMZ. Cruise, who is reportedly seeking $50 million for defamation and invasion of privacy, will donate any winnings to charity — potentially the most positive contribution to society in the history of tabloid-celebrity warfare.

"We want him to have a normal life," says Snooki, whose concept of a normal life seems to consist of starring in two MTV reality shows and appearing on Today.

In a brand new interview with the Instances of India, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon continued his historical past of criticism in opposition to Bitcoin, saying “I feel for those who borrow cash to purchase Bitcoin, you’re a idiot.”
The billionaire CEO has held a particularly dismissive stance on Bitcoin because the asset first emerged, largely selecting to disregard it’s lengthy observe document of secure operation, worth appreciation, and demand from his personal prospects.
Notably, within the interview Dimon declared, “I don’t actually care about Bitcoin,” and went on to explain simply how little he is aware of about it.
“I don’t know if it’s an asset. I don’t know if it’s international trade. I don’t know if it’s a foreign money,” Dimon stated. He additionally prompt that regulation will constrain Bitcoin, however as to “whether or not it eliminates it, I don’t know and I don’t personally care. I’m not a purchaser of Bitcoin.”
He continued, “That doesn’t imply it could possibly’t go 10 instances in worth within the subsequent 5 years.”
There are indicators that Dimon is having to melt his public stance on Bitcoin, particularly as funds operated by his financial institution start to allocate capital to the market.
However it’s clear from his many dismissive feedback, that Dimon isn’t personally focused on Bitcoin.
“I realized a very long time in the past, work out what you need, do what you need and achieve success your self,” Dimon acknowledged. Dimon went on to match Bitcoin to a speculative tulip mania, a beanie babie frenzie and web shares.
Dimon additionally commented on the economic system within the wake of worldwide authorities lockdowns, arguing that Bitcoin is benefitting from a bigger asset bubble within the international economic system: “That is extra an indication of the pump being primed. The spend right this moment is 20% over what it was pre-Covid.”
The billionaire CEO additionally spoke candidly concerning the banking business and the potential for additional authorities involvement within the sector, “Governments ought to acknowledge the issues they don’t do effectively. Like banking. For those who begin making loans for political functions, they are going to be unhealthy loans.”
Nonetheless, executives at JPMorgan see some potential for Bitcoin alongside the rising demand from their purchasers. In August, JPMorgan Chase partnered with the Bitcoin-focused institutional-grade platform New York Digital Funding Group to supply the passively managed Bitcoin fund.
On the finish of August, each Wells Fargo and JPMorgan filed for passive Bitcoin funds for his or her rich purchasers as effectively, indicating that, regardless of Dimon’s considerations, the banking sector is responding to rising demand for Bitcoin.

Rapper-songwriter-producer 21 Savage adds another role to his resumé as the first ambassador for Pernod Ricard’s relaunched Avion Tequila campaign. The theme — about taking a borderless approach to life and creativity — ties in with 21 Savage’s immigration status and his love of flying as a pilot.
“When I’m in the air flying, there’s nothing like it,” says 21 Savage in a long-form video for the campaign titled Depart.Elevate.Arrive. “There are no boundaries, no borders, no traffic … elevation is what everybody should strive for in life. Just building, building and going up … setting your goals and accomplishing them. Elevation is the key to life.”
The full video can be viewed here:
Night After Night is the agency helming the Avion Tequila campaign with Savage, who’s co-managed by Kei Henderson of Since the 80s. The firm’s previous campaigns featuring music artists include Love Thy Neighborhood and #LoveThyBar for Jameson Irish Whiskey with Anderson .Paak and Make Your Statement for Martell Cognac in partnership with Quavo of Migos and the culinary collective Ghetto Gastro.
In an exclusive statement to Billboard, Night After Night co-founder and chief creative officer Casey McGrath says, “We’re excited to continue to tell these stories about living with a borderless mindset literally and figuratively. Our ultimate goal is to get 21 Savage back up in the air, both touring internationally as well as eventually helping him to secure his pilot’s license, with the brand supporting his creative passions along the way.”
Of partnering again with Night After Night for the Avion relaunch campaign, Paul Di Vito, Pernod Ricard USA’s vp marketing, adds, “I have been working with Night After Night for almost a decade now. They helped propel Jameson from being a niche whiskey brand to an industry juggernaut — without it losing any of its cool — in our most recent partnership with Anderson .Paak. There’s not another agency that understands how to put the brand at the very heart of the consumer that can capture, create and communicate those values so seamlessly. Their suggestion of 21 Savage and the insight of his passion for aviation proved this further as he’s been the perfect partner to bring forth our new vision for the brand.”

Something Special: The Three Graces Book Six (Volume 6) Paperback – May 5, 2016
About the Author
Nia Farrell is the naughty side of a multi-genre author who is published in nonfiction, poetry, music, and children's books, with one documentary screenplay under her literary belt. She's an old soul and a period reenactor who's been into corsets for centuries, although she wears them more to Civil War events these days. Nia has been involved in the metaphysical community for over twenty-five years. She is a Reiki Master and crystal healer whose work encompasses this and other lifetimes. In her book SOMETHING MORE, BDSM and submission are tools for healing post-rape PTSD. SOMETHING MORE has been nominated for BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR, Ménage Category, in the 2016 Golden Flogger Awards. Her debut books from The Three Graces Series, SOMETHING ELSE, SOMETHING DIFFERENT, and SOMETHING MORE, are kink with a paranormal twist. Soul mates, reincarnation, karmic fallout, shamanism, and psychic abilities come into play. Personal experience and extensive research go into crafting her characters, but it's her sense of whimsy that has made fictional Posey, Minnesota, the ménage capital of the United States with a Monty-Python-themed diner that's central to the plotlines. Nia was fortunate enough to meet her soul mate early on. She married her high school sweetheart, raised two children, and began writing at her husband's suggestion. She has been published in erotic romance since 2015. Nia Farrell’s webpage niafarrell.wordpress.com

This book hit several Hot Buttons for me and Ms. Farrell's selection of narrators was just perfect! Also, the amount of research that supports this book is extremely impressive. Our author has outdone herself!
This series is a Must Add to your library, regardless if you read or listen. I am rating this 5 stars as it will go on my TBRR shelf.
This is an 18+ read featuring MMF and it's variations, BDSM, Period Reenactment, Paranormal and addresses PTSD. Enjoy!
I had read all three of The Three Graces books and absolutely loved them all. I've tried to decide which story was my favorite, but it's impossible to do. This newest addition just makes a difficult decision more impossible.
Something Special follows Grace, J.T. and Nico, from Something Else (book one), after they have been together for awhile & are expecting their first child. It is told from J.T.'s POV. The author has given the readers an in-depth look at the dynamics between a triad of people in love - an alpha Dominant, a female submissive and a second male who is both dominant & submissive. It is amazing to this reader how this female author can so thoroughly get into the male dominant's psyche.
As in the first three books, this story line demonstrates the level of commitment and love between three souls who live and deal with not totally common additional issues (PTSD, psychic abilities and living a "different" lifestyle) on top of the "normal" everyday obstacles of life and love. And, it also shows how even the strongest of personalities can bend and give to prove their love!
I adored this novella as much as the previous three and am looking forward to reading more as soon as possible.
Together, J.T. and Nico plot the perfect after-wedding surprise for their wife, no small feat when she’s a psychic medium, and after a beautiful celebration they whisk her away to an East coast BDSM retreat to give her the honeymoon experience of her fantasies.
I absolutely love a story with heart. And there’s something so beautiful about the love these three characters share. And this time the story is told from J.T.’s perspective, which adds intriguing insight into how he views their family. Oh, and the ménage sex is hot, hot, hot!
If you’re a fan of The Three Graces series, this book is an absolute ‘don’t miss’. If you’re not familiar with the stories, help yourself to Book 1. Something Special is a worthy addition to the series and I can’t wait for the next one!
A BDSM Ménage story, I'm drawn into their journey. J.T. finds himself realizing that his love for Grace and Nico goes beyond anything. He never thought of marriage before meeting them.
My heart sang reading this Something Special Story. The sex scenes are wonderfully detailed. This book is part of a series but I was able to follow the story.
I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a BDSM Ménage story. I look forward to reading more book by Nia Farrell.
I have fallen in love with this series and these characters. Author Nia Farrell has put so much depth and thought into her stories, they hold you captive.


Deutscher Wetterdienst, Meteorological Observatory Lindenberg, Lindenberg, Germany
Abstract. The Maïdo high-altitude observatory located in Reunion Island (21° S, 55.5° E) is equipped with Lidar1200, an innovative Raman lidar designed to measure the water vapor mixing ratio in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere. The calibration methodology is based on a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) IWV (Integrated Water Vapor) dataset and lamp measurements. The mean relative standard error on the calibration coefficient is around 2.7 %. Two years of lidar water vapor measurements from November 2013 to October 2015 are now processed. By comparing CFH (Cryogenic Frost point Hygrometer) radiosonde profiles with the Raman lidar profiles, the ability of the lidar to provide accurate measurements is possible up to 22 km. The ability of measuring water vapor mixing ratios of a few ppmv in the lower stratosphere is demonstrated with a 48-hours integration time period, an absolute error lower than 0.8 ppmv and a relative error less than 20 %. This Raman lidar is dedicated to provide regular profiles of water vapor measurements with a high vertical resolution and low uncertainties to international networks; in the wider interest of research on stratosphere-troposphere exchange processes and on the long-term survey of water vapor in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere in the Southern Hemisphere. A strategy of data sampling and filtering is proposed to meet these objectives with regard to the altitude range requested. 10-min time integration and 65–90 m vertical resolution ensure a vertical profile reaching 10 km, but more than 2800 minutes and a vertical resolution of 150–1300 m are necessary to reach the lower stratosphere with an uncertainty less than 20 %.
