Manchester City fans are furious with Benjamin Mendy after his calamitous mistake saw the club go a goal behind against Chelsea from home at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
As Chelsea cleared the ball the Frenchman went to gather it but then he played a wayward pass which was intercepted by Christian Pulisic, who broke with pace
Mendy attempted to chase the American down but he was left in the dust as Pulisic slotted past Ederson.
Benjamin Mendy simply had an outing to forget. His crossing was hit and miss, too, rendering him a liability on the day. He was subbed off for Oleksandr Zinchenko before the hour mark.
Many Man City Fans have reacted to the 25-year-old’s mistake and the huge impact it could have on Manchester City’s season.
Is Mendy normal guys? #mcfc this is the second time his doing this.

Mendy biggest liability in #mcfc history. That’s awful.
— Paddy Reston (@PaddyReston) June 25, 2020
What on Earth is Mendy doing there? #mcfc
— Chris Meister (@cmeis1991) June 25, 2020
Mendy is very very overrated #MCFC

Former Manchester City and England international forward Rodney Marsh has suggested he will not play for Manchester City again
>Think Mendy may have played his last game for Manchester City😱
— Rodney Marsh (@RodneyMarsh10) June 25, 2020
on the goal he made 4 separate errors in a few seconds. Continued to run to the ball, then played it, then attempted tackle when should have just held up/forced inside then challenged lamely with wrong foot. 90k/wk lovely.

Such a disappointment after a good start to his CITY career pre-injury.
— DC (@DanCurran77) June 26, 2020
Agreed – poor decision making when it really matters
— Steve Cox (@stevecox68) June 25, 2020
Oh Rodney Rodney… he’ll start against Newcastle, in the Cup, on Sunday & then play the majority of games through to the Champions League final in Lisbon. Where he’ll lead the post match celebrations, after running Bayern ragged…

Mendy did cause the first goal, but the whole team played underwhelming. Sterling and Ederson were really poor. But the tactic was weird. Playing without an attacker and having KDB play way up front where he can’t create for us… We just couldn’t break their defence.
Manchester City now have little to play for in the Premier League now and must shift their focus to the cup competitions.

Peanut Butter Cake with Chocolate and Amaretto Ganache
Don’t you sometimes feel like a delicious dessert but are too lazy to spend hours in the kitchen creating one from scratch? Or you need to impress someone with your cooking skills but have no time between work, family, facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat, tumblr and youtube?
Then have no fear! I have a hack for you! A simple answer to your problems! Buy a cake mix! Now hear me out, I know that many frown upon the use of such a shortcut, but there are ways you can make a deliciously moist cake out of a simple mix.
This is what you have to do to get the best cake possible from any mix:
- Substitute the water for whole milk.
- Use room temperature eggs.
- DO NOT over mix. A few small lumps are ok.
- DO NOT over bake. Make sure you keep an eye on your cake. If you just follow the time in the box you might end up with a dry possibly burned cake. Remember that all ovens are not created equal and yours might cook it faster than what the box anticipates. So check it often!
For this cake you will need a few other ingredients than just the ones the box calls for:
-Cake Mix (Yellow, Buttery, or White works well)
-Use whole milk instead of water. (Follow box measurement)
-Use peanut oil instead of vegetable oil. (Follow box measurement)
-Add 1/4 cup peanut butter. (Can use chunky, sugar, no sugar, whatever you have at hand)
-However many eggs it asks for at room temperature.
Make cake according to box directions. Just keep an eye on it. Once finished let it cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile let’s make a simple yet fancy ganache (Sounds fancy doesn’t it?) to go over our cake.
Chocolate and Amaretto Ganache–
-1 package of chocolate chips. Can use bittersweet, semisweet, or dark chocolate.
-3/4 cup heavy cream.
-2 Tbsp Amaretto. (An almond liquor. Oh yeahhhh boozy goodness)
In a small saucepan heat heavy cream to a boil. As soon as it starts boiling, pour it over the chocolate chips. Stir until it becomes a smooth mixture. Then add Amaretto and stir until combined. Now let it sit for a while so that it cools a little. As it cools it will harden which will make it stick to the cake.
Pour over the cake starting at the center and spreading to the edges until you have covered all of the surface area. Decorate cake with strawberries and drizzle them with a little of the ganache.
Now you might say, this still sounds like too much work for me! Well never fear, I have an even shorter shortcut for you! (Though I got to say your level of laziness… I mean time-saving skills has impressed me!)
No time to make a ganache? No problem. Buy a container of pre-made chocolate frosting! Add 2 Tbsp of Amaretto to it. Mix well. And then spread over your cake! That’s it.
So there it is, the easy way to make a pretty, delicious cake that will make you look like a kitchen god/goddess.

On Monday, we had the fortune of publishing Nancy Ludmerer’s magnificent “Matchbox”, the second place finalist for our 2020 Summer Short Story Award for New Writers, selected by Kali Fajardo-Anstine. Today, we’re equally fortunate to share this great interview assistant editor Melissa Hinshaw conducted with the author. Dig in below:
Inquiring minds must know: How did you manage to make a 22-page second person story so engaging?!
It can be hard to pinpoint what makes a story engaging (whether my own or someone else’s). Several years before I began working on “Matchbox,” my son (then 26) commented that I cared about my characters the way I care about people. It’s one of the nicest compliments I’ve received about my writing—and perhaps explains the appeal of this story. For me, “Matchbox” is about character and identity. Candace, the narrator, is still trying to separate herself from her twin. I’ve used second person before but this story, more than any other, demanded it.
What inspired “Matchbox”? What sorts of ideas or images were you pulling out of other works—fiction, real life, movies even—when you sat down to write this piece?
I practiced law for over 30 years. As part of my pro bono work, I interviewed prisoners throughout New York State correctional facilities, so it was a milieu I was somewhat familiar with; like Candace, my narrator, I viewed it as an outsider. Later I worked with a New York State justice task force seeking to eliminate wrongful convictions; DNA evidence was critical. Those experiences informed “Matchbox.” The immediate catalyst was a March 1, 2019 article in the New York Times about how DNA could be used to identify and therefore exonerate—or convict—an identical twin. Like the article Lottie shows Candace in “Matchbox,” the Times story reported that judges were skeptical because this DNA research had not been sufficiently replicated. Another source was the classic (or comic) twin narrative. Since I was a kid, I’ve loved the mayhem that look-alikes can foment—whether in books like The Prince and the Pauper, movies like The Parent Trap, or verse like Henry Leigh’s The Twins, which I was so happy to excerpt in “Matchbox.”
The theme of matches, flames, and this sort of almost-explosiveness starts in the very beginning with the title and carries all the way through. How did you “tend the flame” so to speak as you were writing “Matchbox”? Is that a theme that you started with, or that you added on later on in writing?
Once I decided that Lottie’s crime would be arson, I had to explore why. It’s a crime that’s often viewed as psychological in origin, particularly among young people, and because it is so serious, can lead to lengthy imprisonment. The scene in which Lottie’s lawyer wants Candace to go before the jury and speak about her own fascination with fire was also key. What you identify as the “almost-explosiveness” in many scenes and in the sisters’ relationship followed naturally from these elements. The title came last. My working title was “Heredity.” Once I settled on “Matchbox” it seemed exactly right.
Do you have a sister? How did you tap into the deep well of sister conflict for “Matchbox”?
I don’t have a sister. I do have two older brothers, and remember how surprised I was when a few years ago one brother described the other as the person who was most like him in the entire world. From my sisterly perspective, I always thought they could not be more different! I think “Matchbox” might have been harder to write if I did have a sister. My longing for a sister and imagining what that might be like all went into this story. Your question also drew me back to my high school yearbook, where twin sisters Doria and Sharon (non-identical) both inscribed loving wishes. Sharon concluded hers: “Always remember the other half.” I’ve never forgotten it.
I couldn’t help but notice an echo between the image of ashes at the end and the behind-the-scenes presence of the narrator’s dead mother. In some ways this is a grief story. Tell us a little bit more about that.
The sisters’ experience of their somewhat wayward mother binds them, as does the love they all shared. Her death is both freeing and scary for them. Candace resists the role of Lottie’s caretaker; Lottie is propelled into violence. To some extent, their future relationship will depend on how they both deal with this loss going forward.
I believe you live in New York, and this story is set in New York. Tell us about how place informs or interacts with your writing.
My apartment in Manhattan is two blocks from the corner where for years a bus (bigger than the one in “Matchbox”) used to pick up and take family members to upstate prisons on the weekend. Kids and adults would wait patiently for the bus in all kinds of weather. There’s a terrific article and photo essay about this at here. To feel confident moving characters in a fictional world, I often do research—as I did, for example, for a story currently making the rounds, set in 19th century Poland. In “Matchbox,” most of the setting is based on personal experience.
You’ve published with us before—your story “Summer, 2002”—and are evidently continuing the trend of winning contests and acclaim elsewhere. How do you make your work stand out again and again?
I never attended an MFA program but nonetheless have been privileged to study and work with amazing writers. I began sending out “Summer, 2002” in 2003; thirteen years later, after multiple rejections and revisions, Masters Review took it. My belief in that story was sustained through the years by my wonderful writing teacher (at Kenyon Review summer workshops) Nancy Zafris, who believed in the story from the get-go, and has continued to be a mentor and friend.
As for “Matchbox” it began as an eight-page opening and fragment, which I showed to the brilliant Karen Bender, who’s been working with me one-on-one as a writing coach since September 2019. She loved the premise and the setting and kept asking the critical questions that helped me move the story forward. Her input was invaluable.
I’m grateful for the discipline that practicing law required and instilled in me for decades. Judges don’t move deadlines because a lawyer doesn’t get inspired. I’m also grateful to ongoing (pre-COVID) workshops at my local YMCA (hosted by Beth Bauman) which provided weekly prompts and to my husband Malcolm Spector who remains my first and most loyal reader.
My parents taught me by example that gratitude is the greatest virtue. Thank you for asking these questions and for loving “Matchbox.”

Vetster connects pet owners to thousands of licensed veterinary professionals ready to provide online pet care through video, chat and voice-enabled appointments 24/7. Founded in September last year and officially launched in November, Vetster is the largest veterinary telemedical marketplace in North America. “With veterinarians in all states and provinces across North America, Vetster makes it easy for pet owners to find, book and conduct a telemedical appointment with a trusted veterinarian — all from the convenience of their own home,” says CEO and co-founder Mark Bordo.
For veterinarians, the Vetster platform provides them a way to expand their services outside the clinic and clinic hours, reach new clients, and provide care in between appointments or for treatment where an in-clinic appointment may not be needed. For pet owners, Vetster offers an easy way to book appointments at times convenient to them, access care outside the clinic setting, and improve their pet’s overall health with proactive and regular care. Says Bordo, “Vetster aims to create a holistic and consistent approach to caring for pets.”
Bordo believes the growing acceptance and adoption of telemedical services for people and the dramatic increase in pet ownership spurred by the pandemic were key factors in the development of Vetster; he notes veterinarians saw a 50% rise in clients that challenged their ability to meet the needs of clients within their current practice.
“Building a platform that exceeded the needs of our customers and our veterinarians quickly has been no easy feat, particularly when we’re all working remotely and need to collaborate and be lock-step with one another,” Bordo shares. “Our MVP [minimum viable product] needed to have a robust set of tools to support scheduling, great audio and video quality, it needed to be secure, and needed to offer key features like reporting, automated billing and payments. Accomplishing this within just a few months was a huge challenge and I’m so proud to say our team rose to the occasion.”
Bordo credits the team’s experience in building successful marketplaces (noting they previously built Canada’s first short-term rental marketplace which was later sold to Expedia); Medical Director Sarah Machell, DVM, who was instrumental in ensuring Vetster’s solution brings immediate value to its veterinarians and veterinary practitioners; and partners who have helped Vetster educate the market and attract clients to the platform.
He also credits earlier advice to “be persistent,” noting that persistence is the key element to get any startup off the ground. “Every startup will face hurdles and challenges while starting. Daily persistence tackling each and every problem as they arise has been key to our success and a challenge which is tested daily.”
In its first six months, Vetster attracted veterinarians in every state and province across North America to make care more accessible and available 24/7, with thousands of pet owners booking appointments to receive care, access online prescriptions where regionally permitted, and help improve their pet’s overall health. Sharing, “Vetster is on a mission to become the world’s leading online platform to access veterinary care for their pets,” he reports Vetster recently raised $12.25 million CAD, which will be used to expand globally and build out the company’s platform and services.
Did You Know: The pet care industry has grown to $100 billion in the last year as more people have added pets to their family.

India has agreed to import additional 325 MW of electricity from Nepal.
Organizing a press conference on Wednesday Energy Minister Pampha Bhusal revealed that India has given permission for additional export of power.
Prime Minister (PM) Sher Bahadur Deuba had discussed the issue with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi during their meeting on Saturday.
"It is a matter of happiness that Nepal is exporting her surplus electricity to India. This will make a huge contribution to Nepal's economic progress," Modi had said addressing the joint press conference with Deuba on Saturday. "I feel further happiness that we are going to accept Nepal's proposal to sell additional electricity in India."
Modi's statement allayed longstanding Nepali fears that India may refuse to procure surplus electricity generated in Nepal assuring that proposals for import of Nepali electricity will be accepted.
India had earlier agreed to import only 39 MW from Nepal.
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) Spokesperson Suresh Bhattarai said that the Indian permission for buying additional electricity from Nepal has been known only today.
Nepal is currently buying electricity from India during the dry season but will be able to sell surplus electricity to India during the rainy season.

- President Ram Nath Kovind approves imposition of governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir: Ministry of Home Affairs
- Mehbooba Mufti submits resignation to Governor after BJP pulls out from Jammu and Kashmir coalition government
- Muscular policy won’t work, Kashmir not enemy land: Mehbooba Mufti
- Omar Abdullah seeks early elections in Jammu and Kashmir after BJP pullout from PDP alliance
NEW DELHI/SRI NAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir was brought under Governor's rule today and the state Assembly put under suspended animation, a day after the PDP-BJP government collapsed with the BJP ending the three-year-old alliance with the regional party.
As Governor N N Vohra held multiple meetings in Srinagar during which security measures were discussed, Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat said the ongoing military operations in the Valley against terrorists would continue as earlier.
Governor's rule in the state is unlikely to have any impact on ongoing military operations, he told reporters in New Delhi.
It is for the fourth time that the sensitive border state was placed under Central rule in the last one decade--all under the tenure of Vohra, who was made the Governor in June 2008.
This is the eighth time in the last four decades that the state was put under Governor's rule.
"The President has approved imposition of Governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir with immediate effect." a Union Home Ministry spokesman said in New Delhi in the morning.
An official gazette notification issued in Srinagar said the Governor Vohra has put Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly under suspended animation.
The six-year term of the current Assembly ends in March, 2021.
Separately, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the Centre wants terrorism to end and peace to prevail in Kashmir.
"Our only aim is that terrorism should end and peace should prevail in Kashmir and our government will work keeping this in mind," he told reporters in Lucknow.
Singh was responding to a question about BJP's dramatic decision to pull out of the coalition with the Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP.
Mehbooba submitted her resignation after the BJP withdrew support.
Vohra had last night recommended imposition of Governor's rule in a report sent to the Rashtrapati Bhavan around the time when President Ram Nath Kovind, who is on an overseas trip, was onboard his special aircraft.
The contents of the Governor's report were immediately sent to Suriname where the president was scheduled to land at 6.30 pm (3 am IST).
The president after perusing the report gave his assent and the same was sent to the Union Home Ministry by 6 am (IST) following which the process of promulgating Governor's rule was prepared and sent to Srinagar.
"Immediately after receiving the President of India's approval, Governor N N Vohra issued the proclamation to impose Governor's rule in the state under Section 92 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir today," a Raj Bhavan spokesman said in Srinagar.
After assuming charge as the head of the state administration, Vohra held meetings with top civil administration and police officials at the Civil Secretariat in Srinagar.
The Governor held discussions with Chief Secretary B B Vyas and identified the major tasks which shall require to be dealt with on a strict time-bound basis, beginning from today.
He was earlier accorded a ceremonial welcome and guard of honour by a police contingent as he arrived at the Civil Secretariat to take charge of the administration.
Vohra chaired a meeting of top officials -- both from civil administration and police -- to gear up the state administrative machinery to function with speed, efficiency and accountability.
The break-up of the PDP-BJP coalition triggered celebrations in parts of the Valley, even as some people expressed apprehension that Governor's rule might lead to lack of transparency and worsen the situation in the state.
In several areas of Kashmir, including Srinagar, Kupwara and Pahalgam, people burst firecrackers after the news broke out.
"This alliance was unholy. The PDP should not have joined hands with the BJP in the first place. But better late than never. We are happy that this alliance has ended," said Faizan Mir, a resident of Srinagar.
However, some people felt that an elected government was any day better than the Governor's rule.
"A democratically elected government is much better any day than the Governor's rule which essentially means New Delhi's direct rule in the state where now they will have absolute control over the administration and the security apparatus. They can do anything now in the absence of a government which otherwise could built pressure on them on certain issues," said Feroz Ahmad Bhat, a resident of central Kashmir's Ganderbal.
Security preparations for the annual Amarnath yatra also figured during the meetings held by the Governor.
Security forces have already been asked to maintain "highest level of alertness" and "synergy," police said.
The two-month long pilgrimage to the 3,880 metre high cave shrine of Amarnath will commence on June 28.
As speculation mounted over what could be the exact reason for the BJP to walk out of the alliance, BJP state president Ravinder Raina said deteriorating law and order situation was the main reason so that Governor's rule can be imposed to ensure restoration of peace and normalcy in the state.
BJP general secretary Ram Madhav yesterday cited the "larger national interest, the deteriorating security situation" for the party's pullout.
National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah called for immediate dissolution of the state Legislative Assembly and holding of fresh elections in the state.

The wait for the infamous HTC Passion – the Taiwanese manufacturer's first Android 2.0 phone sporting a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen with multitouch (squee!) – may take a little longer than first believed.
"Market sources" apparently have said that the Passion (and that's likely just going to end up as the code name, btw) has been pushed back to "early 2010" so HTC can keep "working to further advance the software." When last we checked, the talk was that the Passion would be out by about now. Of course, what "early 2010" means is anybody's guess and really isn't that far-fetched a prediction, given that we only have three weeks or so left in 2009.
Also stated by this source is that HTC will announce the Espresso, the likely successor to the HTC Hero, at Mobile World Congress in February. That already has been stated by an HTC official, as well.

The galanin receptor (GALR) is a family of G protein-coupled receptor. It is a metabotropic receptor which binds galanin and was first discovered 30 years ago. The 29 amino acid long peptide (30 amino acids in humans) was named galanin after its N-terminal glycine and its C-terminal alanine. The N-terminal end of galanin, of which the first 15 amino acids are conserved in all species, is essential for its biological activity. However, the C-terminal region varies among species and lacks receptor affinity. The C-terminus is believed to primarily serve as a protector against proteolytic attacks.
Galanin receptors can be found throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems and the endocrine system. It co-exists with a number of classical neurotransmitters, including GABA, acetyl choline, noradrenalin, serotonin, glutamate, and dopamine. Selective galanin agonists are anticonvulsant, whereas antagonists produce antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in animals. Therefore, either agonist or antagonist ligands for the galanin receptors may be potentially therapeutic compounds for humans. An extensive up-regulation of galanin was observed both in PNS and CNS during sensory and motor system development and after nerve injury. GALR is also up-regulated in the basal forebrain of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, galanin has also been shown to be expressed in keratinocytes, eccrine sweat glands and around blood vessels.
Fig.1 The unknown signaling of the postulated galanin fragment preferring receptor (GalR1–GalR2 heteromer) is compared with the signaling of the GalR1 and GalR2 homomers. (Fuxe, 2012)
Here shows part of galanin receptor in humans including GAL-R1, GAL-R2, and GAL-R3, which are three subtypes of the receptor. All three belong to the GPCR superfamily but the subtypes have substantial differences in sites of expression as well as their functional coupling and subsequent signaling activities. These differences between the receptor subtypes contribute to the diversity of possible physiological effects as well as the plausible pharmacological relevance of targeting the galanin family.

Bikers for Babies riders to roll through Saturday
Roughly 6,000 bikers made their way through the area for this past year’s March of Dimes Bikers for Babies fundraiser.
Similar numbers are expected this year as the 16th annual bikers for babies event rolls through Sunday.
Riders will depart from Kansas Speedway between 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and make their way through Basehor, Tonganoxie, McLouth, Springdale, Easton, Winchester, Valley Falls, Ozawkie and Oskaloosa.
Local participants said they expect most bikers to come through Tonganoxie between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Bikers will come west along U.S. Highway 24-40 and then head west to McLouth on Kansas Highway 16.
Drivers are asked to be cautious with so many bikers coming through town. Residents in communities where the bikers ride through have been known to stop along the route and wave to bikers, much like a parade.
The event supports local research related to premature birth and programs such as neonatal intensive care units and family support at Overland Park Regional Medical Center, Saint Luke’s Hospital and Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center.

Modular Solution for Efficient Structural Health Monitoring Solutions5 years ago - IT, IoT - Singapore - 825 views
All structures, whether bridges, wind energy plants, water, gas and oil pipelines, tunnels, oil rigs, pavements, rails, but also ships, planes, trains or others are subject to various internal and external factors which may cause wear or malfunction. This can happen, for example due to deterioration, an incorrect construction process, lack of quality control or an extreme situation resulting from an accident or environmental load. To be able to observe these changes in the material and to react in a proper way before serious damage is caused, the implementation of a damage identification system is crucial. The monitoring of structural behavior can detect anomalies in time, thus enabling maintenance and repair actions to be implemented more efficiently, with a direct impact on the reduction of operating costs. Replacing schedule-driven maintenance with condition-based maintenance is the main goal of infrastructure monitoring providing the following benefits.
Benefits of Infrastructure Monitoring
- Boost (life) safety
- Continuous observation
- Automation of maintenance
- Detecting damage in early stage to enable proactive response
- Extension of major overhaul cycle
- Saving of costs and time
Structural Health Monitoring System for Different Industries
Short and long-term monitoring of bridges, tunnels, buildings and high pressure water pipe,roads and foundations. Measurement of the applied loads and life time prediction.
Professional structural monitoring of on- and offshore wind power plants. Measurement on tower, foundation, rotor blades and on other components.
Continuous, stand-alone monitoring of vehicle loads, handling, out of roundness (WTMS) and effect on the superstructure (OBM). Long-term measurements on rails, railroad switches and ties.
Oil & Gas
Efficient measuring on offshore applications. Using measurement technology to monitor risers, pipes, cranes, foundation structures, pipelines etc.
Measurement Technology for Long- and Short-Term Monitoring
A customized solution including sensors, measuring amplifiers, data acquisition software, data transmission and analysis provides the technical basis for efficient monitoring. However, correct sensor installation, commissioning and maintenance as well as the conditioning of test results are indispensable to ensuring successful use of a structural health monitoring system. Both HBM’s modular test and measuring equipment and the highly competent support and service provided by HBM support you and, if necessary, can handle your entire project.
Measurement data alone is not sufficient today. Data transmission, automatic alarms and analysis, comprehensive logs as well as remote diagnostics and control are indispensable for operating monitoring systems. Wether you use a complex company network or a stand-alone solution, HBM is looking for providing you with the perfect solution.

“I have never set limits for myself” – Misty Copeland
Misty Copeland actually laughed the first time her teacher told her she had the talent to become a professional dancer. At the time, the teenaged Copeland didn’t even know what it meant to be a “professional dancer”. Yet, from the start, she proved to be a prodigy. Beginning ballet at the late age of 13, she became strong enough to do pointe after only three months of training. Five months later, she was cast as Clara in The Nutcracker. At age 15, she received a full scholarship to attend San Francisco Ballet School’s summer intensive program. By age 19, she joined the corps of American Ballet Theatre.
But her career did not have smooth start. She soon fractured a vertebra in her lower back during rehearsal- an injury that took a year to fully recover from. Furthermore, doctors were concerned that her bones weren’t as strong as they should be because she hadn’t gone through puberty yet. They put her on medication to start the process. As a result, Copeland quickly developed a figure that was not considered ideal for ballet. When ABT management told her that she needed to “lengthen” (code for “lose weight”), she was devastated and fell into disordered eating. But, eventually, and with the encouragement and mentoring of a former ABT dancer, Copeland began to embrace her new body. She said, “My curves became an integral part of who I am as a dancer, not something I needed to lose to become one.”
In 2007 Copeland was promoted to soloist, the first African-American in two decades to achieve this rank at ABT. She hopes to go on to become the first female African-American principal in the history of ABT. Copeland has made it one of her goals to promote greater diversity within the ballet community. She says, “I’d like to continue to inspire dancers, especially dancers of color, in this art form. And I’d like to be remembered for changing the minds of people that may have been closed off to what they expect to see in the ballet world.” Copeland’s advice to everyone is to “accept everything about you that makes you different.”
- She enjoys listening to music before a performance- just not classical music.
- When she performed in Swan Lake as a corps member, she would quietly sing to herself to get through the second act. She said, “it’s agony, so you have to go someplace else in your mind.”
- Her favorite step is grand jeté. Her least favorite is fouetté.

Israel has approved coronavirus vaccinations for children aged 5 to 11, the Health Ministry announced in a press conference on Wednesday night.
The nearly unanimous vote—73 in favor and two against—was reached by the Pandemic Response Team and the Advisory Committee on Vaccines.
According to the ministry, of the 73 experts who voted to approve the move, 67 supported recommending that young children get inoculated, and six were for merely allowing them to do so.
Health Ministry Director-General Nachman Ash said that sanctions won’t be imposed on children don’t get vaccinated, and testing kits will continue to be available free of charge for kids. Ash said that approximately 200 children get infected with Coronavirus daily.
The decision comes on the heels of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approval last week of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine for 5-11-year-olds.
At the end of August, Israel was the first country to extend eligibility for a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to all citizens aged 12 and above. The United States followed suit several weeks later, after chief U.S. medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci announced that data from Israeli booster shots would clarify the level of risk involved in administering them to citizens under the age of 65.
As Israel began a national drill on Thursday to test the country’s preparedness for the outbreak of a new, more lethal variant COVID-19. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that though Israel is “is in an excellent situation” where managing the virus is concerned, “we are not closing up shop.”
To safeguard the public while maintaining the flow of normal life, he stressed, “we must continue to closely monitor the situation and prepare for any scenario.”


Fernando Alonso has been non-committal about his future in Formula 1, as the 2024 season gets underway.
The season-opening race is the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend and Alonso, who first drove in the series 23 years ago, remains a front-runner.
The Aston Martin driver’s contract expires at the end of this season meaning, in 2025 when he will 43, he could seek pastures new at Mercedes or even Red Bull.
“I need to decide if I want to keep racing,” Alonso said in Bahrain.
“That’s the first thing I need to decide, in a few weeks or a few races.
“I feel great now but I know it’s a demanding calendar.
“In 2026 there are different regulations. They may be tempting or not.
“I will wait a few races to decide.”
The two-time champion has already stepped away from F1 once but, after two years away, he returned.
A year ago in Bahrain, Alonso secured a surprise podium finish on his Aston Martin debut.
It heralded a great start to the season for his team although it slowly faded as 2023 went on.
What are Aston Martin’s hopes this year?
“Let’s wait a couple of races,” he said.
“Bahrain is a specific track in terms of characteristics.
“We’ll have to go to Saudi, Australia and maybe Japan to have the order of performance for the teams.
“Everything is delivering as expected.
“Maybe the step from last year to this year is good enough or not? We’ll find out…
“There is a different approach from 2023. We started with a good base but it was a shock to us, how good it was at the beginning.
“We were not a big team, off-track, in terms of developing the car.
“We learned lessons last year.
“To become a contender for the championship in the future, it was an important season.
“This year we start with a good base line, and with a lot of things in the pipeline for the rest of the season.
“It will be interesting to see if we can keep the pace of developing the car.
“We didn’t meet those expectations last year. We want to improve in that regard.”

Blog Tags: Marine Pollution
Marine debris has become a major issue facing the oceans today. It’s estimated that 10 to 20 million tons of plastic trash make their way to the ocean each year through a number of pathways, like litter, runoff, and direct dumping. In a recent study, scientists found plastic debris in 88 percent of ocean surface water samples.
Recently, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been busy building momentum to protect the oceans for generations to come. Next week, the U.S. Department of State will host the first “Our Ocean” conference, an event where prominent scientists, world leaders, and conservationists will converge to tackle some of the biggest threats facing the oceans today. The invitation-only conference will be held on Monday, June 16 and Tuesday, June 17 in Washington D.C.
This is the second in a series of posts about how to green your life, week by week.
This week, thanks to Mindy Pennybacker’s Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth through Simple, Everyday Choices , I decided to confront my bottled water addiction. Like most addicts, I tell myself that I’m not addicted. Sure, I’ll indulge in bottled water every now and then, but what’s the harm in that, right?
Wrong! If one in 20 Americans stopped buying disposable water bottles, we would eliminate 30 million pounds of plastic waste a year. When Do One Green Thing hit me with this fact, it blew me away. When did it become socially acceptable to eject 30 million pounds of non-biodegradable waste onto the planet? Sure, some of the plastic is recycled, but an estimated 80 percent is placed in landfills, and finds its way to our local waterways and oceans.

Once again the 2nd ESO students have recited poetry out loud. A great experience which has helped them in many aspects.
Which are the benefits of reciting poetry out loud?
-It helps students to learn new vocabulary words.
-As they practice memorizing the poetry to recite, it links memory with audio and visual events, helping them develop memorization skills.
-They learn and understand pitch, voice inflection, and volume.
-Students who recite poetry are aware of breathe coordination, movements of the mouth and other physical gestures as they align these to the rhythm in the poetry.
Here are some examples of their performances. We hope you enjoy them.

Get a Pet To Boost Your Child’s Immune System
Most children share a deep love and bond with their family pets. And these adorable furry friends do more than offer companionship, teach responsibility and bring joy to your home — they can help boost children’s immune systems, too.
Immune Response: Allergens, Eczema, Infections
Though you may hesitate to let your dog lick your baby’s face, these doggy kisses may help protect your child from getting sick.
Researchers in Finland found that family pets — dogs in particular — have a protective effect on children’s respiratory tracts. Babies who have early contact with cats or dogs are 30 percent less likely to experience colds, ear infections and coughs than children who are not exposed to animals.
A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that children who had a dog in their first year of life were 13 percent less likely to develop asthma than children from dog-free households. Children who grow up with pets also have a decreased chance of developing certain allergies and eczema.
Why Pets Help Our Immune System
When you let your dog outside, they may dig in the dirt, sniff their environment, chase animals and roll in the grass before coming back inside your home. Though this may be a turnoff for some parents, when a pet brings germs into our homes on their paws, fur and snouts, these germs benefit the human microbiome and help keep us healthier.
Outdoor cats who spend time in the home also offer health benefits, though they are a little more fastidious and tend to track fewer germs than dogs. Indoor cats and other pets may not be as beneficial to the immune system, but they are wonderful for providing companionship and reducing stress.
A few minutes of petting an animal can give your child an immunity boost, too. One study found that petting a dog for only 18 minutes can raise immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels in our saliva, an antibody that helps protect against infection.
Never Too Young
Babies benefit from being around pets essentially from birth, but it isn’t feasible for every family to have a pet when their children are infants. Being around pets offers health benefits from infancy to adulthood, so having a family pet is great at any age.
The immunity boost your pet provides will happen as soon as you introduce the pet into your home. But you should get a pet only when you are ready for the responsibility.
Other Health Benefits of Having Pets
In addition to boosting children’s immune systems, the bond between human and animal offers your children other health benefits, too.
● Mental health. Animal companionship can ease anxiety and reduce stress.
● Physical activity. Taking your family pet for a hike, walk or run is a great way to fit daily exercise into your child’s schedule.
● Self-esteem. When your pet gives your child unconditional love, this can boost your child’s self-esteem. Being responsible for the pet’s care also develops a sense of accomplishment and responsibility in young children.
● Socialization. Having a family pet can improve your child’s social and emotional skills. A recent study found that toddlers with dogs were 30 percent less likely to have behavior and peer problems compared to families without dogs.
Before You Get a Pet
It’s essential to teach babies and children animal safety. Show your children how to responsibly interact with pets to avoid accidents and injury. Don’t leave a baby or small child unattended with a dog for the safety of both.

3 Affordable Solar Options
When many homeowners think of solar power, they envision total energy independence — getting enough solar panels to unplug from the electric grid and power everything in the home. When they realize such a bold plan is above their budget, they write off solar power. However, there are more affordable ways to harness solar power. Here is a brief explanation of three realistic options for harnessing solar, without a full solar array.
1. Simple solar swimming pool heater
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that solar pool heaters are the most cost-effective use of solar power. They are more durable than gas pool heaters or electric heat pump pool heaters, and the costs are comparable. The DOE estimates that an initial investment of less than $4,000 will be paid back in two to seven years. DIY resource: https://www.networx.com/article/3-affordable-solar-options
Solar pool heaters pump pool water through a filter, then through solar thermal panels that heat the water (or cool the water at night in hot climates). The cheapest heaters are basically thick rubber or plastic treated to reduce UV damage. These heaters lack the expensive glass and metal parts of more complex solar panels, so they are particularly cheap. They typically aren’t powerful enough for use in freezing temperatures, and could be damaged in severe weather. Still, that leaves several months of pool heating and comfort in most climates.
2. Simple solar water heaters
Another inexpensive solar option for mild climates is a batch, or integral collector-storage solar water heater. These systems simply use black tubes to heat water before it flows into the conventional water heater, reducing the amount of gas or electric heat needed to heat water. Again, these systems could freeze in harsh weather. However, this experimental do-it-yourself batch solar water heater provides 94 percent of a modest home’s hot water needs through the cold Montana winter.
The system cost about $1,000 in materials, and is saving the homeowner an estimated $300 in annual energy costs. He provides free construction plans on his site. DIY resource: http://www.hometalk.com
3. Simple solar electric financing
There are affordable options for solar electric, as well as the aforementioned solar thermal projects. Instead of paying thousands of dollars upfront for solar photovoltaic panels, you may be able to just buy the solar power you use.
Through Payment per Power Agreements (PPAs), the solar installer owns the panels and sells you the solar electricity you generate and use in your home. According to SunRun, the company that first developed PPAs, their average customer saves 10 to 15 percent on electric costs even though they are now typically paying two electric bills — to the local utility and to SunRun. The savings should also increase over time. While utility rates increase 6 percent per year on average, PPA customers lock in their rate for the term of the agreement. PPA payments also cover upkeep, which simplifies ownership of solar systems, which have complex and expensive parts.
However, PPAs are not available everywhere. Visit SunRun for more information on PPAs.
Of course, the costs of solar vary widely depending on your site, sun resources and, perhaps most importantly, local and state incentives. Click here for more information and for help calculating your solar costs.

The Sun and Her Stars
The little-known story of screenwriter Salka Viertel, whose salons in 1930s and 40s Hollywood created a refuge for a multitude of famous figures who had escaped the horrors of World War ll.
Hollywood was created by its “others”; that is, by women, Jews, and immigrants. Salka Viertel was all three and so much more. She was the screenwriter for five of Greta Garbo’s movies and also her most intimate friend. At one point during the Irving Thalberg years, Viertel was the highest-paid writer on the MGM lot. Meanwhile, at her house in Santa Monica she opened her door on Sunday afternoons to scores of European émigrés who had fled from Hitler—such as Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, and Arnold Schoenberg—along with every kind of Hollywood star, from Charlie Chaplin to Shelley Winters. In Viertel’s living room (the only one in town with comfortable armchairs, said one Hollywood insider), countless cinematic, theatrical, and musical partnerships were born.
Viertel combined a modern-before-her-time sensibility with the Old-World advantages of a classical European education and fluency in eight languages. She combined great worldliness with great warmth. She was a true bohemian with a complicated erotic life, and at the same time a universal mother figure. A vital presence in the golden age of Hollywood, Salka Viertel is long overdue for her own moment in the spotlight.

“In The Sun and Her Stars, Donna Rifkind delves into the fascinating, complex life and work of one of Hollywood’s unsung screenwriting legends and emerges with a rich and illuminating biography, one that Salka Viertel herself would have undoubtedly adored.” —Sarah Weinman, author of The Real Lolita: A Lost Girl, an Unthinkable Crime, and a Scandalous Masterpiece
“This book elegantly captures a splendid life and career worth remembering, its moving central portrait set like a brave feminist jewel amidst treacherous crosscurrents of history, in Europe and Hollywood, which echo eerily today.” —Patrick McGilligan, coauthor of Tender Comrades: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist
“The best biographies tell the story not only of the individual but of the entire milieu in which they lived. Donna Rifkind does exactly this in her examination of Salka Viertel, a figure mostly unknown to the general public but whose life is a winding line from prewar Vienna to the coast of California at the dawn of Hollywood. This book is smart, questioning, insightful, and ultimately impossible to put down.” —Christian Kiefer, author of Phantoms: A Novel
“The unjustly forgotten Salka Viertel, premier memoirist of Hollywood’s Golden Age and so much more, gets a vital, comprehensive biography to call her own in Donna Rifkind’s lively and engaging The Sun and Her Stars.” —Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Film Critic

The Southern Quarterly
"An inherently fascinating tale, and one rich in significance for our understanding of the history and legacies of slavery and racism, revolution and enlightenment, and democracy and human rights. . . . Beautifully written and exhaustively researched. . . . One hopes that . . . the book will be read across the traditional geographic boundaries of the academy."
"Elegantly written and meticulously researched . . . will be regarded as the standard account for some time to come. . . . Dubois has done a marvelous job."
William and Mary Quarterly
"A rich and important study on Guadeloupe . . . during the Revolutionary period. . . . An extended and subtle analysis of the changing meaning of republicanism and race. Opens the door to such future research, and not just fills the gap in the historiography but firmly places the question of the universality of the Revolution at the forefront of historical research."
Latin America and the Carribbean
"An outstanding contribution to Caribbean historiography and Dubois has arguably written one of the best monographs on the Age of Revolution to date."
Estudios Interdisciplinarios de America Latina y el Caribe
"In this impressive work, Dubois reveals a world of ideas and conflicts that will astonish even most specialists of eighteenth-century history. One of the most informative works of history [I] have read in a long time."
American Historical Review
Dubois explores the slave revolts that brought about the abolition of slavery in the French Caribbean in 1793-1794, the contradictory form this emancipation took, and the process through which it was reversed in bloody conflicts in the early 19th century.

CCBC and St. Mary’s College ink new dealCCBC students interested in studying Maryland’s history first hand will now be able to participate in archeological digs on historic sites through an articulation agreement with St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The new agreement allows CCBC students graduating with an associate in Applied Science degree to transfer up to 70 credits into the Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology degree at SMCM.
St. Mary’s College is also encouraging interested and qualified students to participate in SMCM Summer Field Schools on actual “digs” in the St. Mary’s County area while staying their campus. Not only will students gain practical insight on Anthropology as a major, they will receive upper-level credits at St. Mary’s College toward the B.A. in Anthropology requirements. Better yet, students can also transfer those courses back into CCBC to receive six electives toward their associate degree. Students do not have to be an Anthropology major at CCBC to participate.
“Our partnerships with four-year institutions continue to grow,” said CCBC President Sandra Kurtinitis. “Working together, we can offer our students so many wonderful opportunities to expand their knowledge and encourage them to move on from their associate degree, continue with studies and earn a bachelor’s degree.”

Madrid, 19 September 2013.- Ferrovial, through a consortium led by subsidiary Cintra Infraestructuras, has achieved financial close for the concession to extend the North Tarrant Express in Texas (US). Investment is estimated at 1.35 billion dollars (around 1.01 billion euro). NTE Mobility Partners Segments 3 LLC, the consortium led by Cintra, also includes Meridiam Infrastructure, Dallas Police and Fire Pension System and APG.
The project will be financed with a combination of public and private funds: 531 million dollars from a federal TIFIA loan (Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act); 127 million dollars from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT); 274 million dollars in Private Activity Bonds (PABs), maturing in 25 and 30 years (which were 2.5 and 4 times oversubscribed respectively); and 430 million dollars in equity.
This operation again highlights Cintra's capacity to issue debt in the capital markets. Enrique Díaz-Rato, CEO of Cintra: "We are very pleased to have successfully attained financial close for this project. We have achieved an efficient capital structure despite the complex economic situation at present. We are looking forward to commencing a project that will bring growth and employment to the region, as well as great benefits to citizens".
The operation also evidences investor appetite for managed lanes projects. Managed lanes are currently the most advanced, safest and most reliable form of tolling. This totally electronic barrier-free system does not require vehicles to stop, and tolls are set dynamically on the basis of demand.
The construction of segment 3A, measuring 6.5 miles (10.5 kilometres), is part of the project to rebuild and expand one of the most important corridors in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States and one of the fastest-growing conurbations in the country.
The Cintra-led consortium will upgrade the existing lanes, which will be toll-free, and build two additional managed lanes each way which will use electronic tolling; the consortium will also handle operation and maintenance of the entire roadway, which includes a second section, 3B, measuring 3.6 miles (5.8 kilometres) built by TxDOT. The 43-year concession will start from the date the highway opens to traffic, which is scheduled for mid-2018.
With this project, the fourth in Texas to be headed by Cintra, the company's managed investment in the state exceeds 7.4 billion dollars. In 2009, a consortium headed by Cintra was awarded the contract to develop and operate the first two sections of the NTE, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In October 2012, Cintra inaugurated sections 5 and 6 of State Highway 130, between the cities of Austin and San Antonio in Texas; it will manage that concession until 2062. Also in the US, the company operates Chicago Skyway and Indiana Toll Road.

Meanwhile, till 6 January court has deferred the hearing. The court has also asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to file a reply on the health of the former Maharashtra minister within two weeks. Earlier on Monday Malik’s bail plea was filed and the special court rejected it. However, on 23 February Nawab Malik was arrested by the ED over a property deal allegedly linked with gangster Dawood Ibrahim.


I’m a compassionate person who believes in helping those in need, providing healthy, legal, and responsible alternatives to lift them out of despair. When appropriate, I believe in offering people second chances. I’ll call this approach “diversion.” Simply throwing individuals in jail or prison as a solution, without effective assistance, is setting us all up for failure. Although diversion and assistance are my priority, we need to begin holding everyone in our community accountable for their actions.
I will seek to uphold law and order in a humane manner. To address the homelessness crisis, we first need to acknowledge the actions we have taken thus far do not constitute an effective response. We need to focus on data-driven approaches, and we must collaborate with our regional partners. Seattle can no longer go it alone. We must be prepared to adapt and respond to the ever-changing economic and social landscape. We must address the underlying factors which cause homelessness and recognize that each individual case is different. A tailored approach to an individual’s situation is the first step on the journey back to empowerment and helping them get back on their feet. In addition, with a 6-billion-dollar city budget, we need to do a better job with the revenue we have and strive for transparency. The taxpayers of this city should feel more comfortable with their investments in this crisis. Just as important, we need to do a better job of listening to what the homeless population is telling us about why they are underutilizing the current services provided, and what they feel are the flaws in the present approach.
This issue is deeply nuanced and far from being as simple as black and white. What is good for one district may not necessarily work for another. I believe we can create sustainable development which produces enough affordable housing while also preserving the charm of our neighborhoods. We must ensure the new emphasis on density does not undermine the quality of life for old and new residents alike. This means we must do a better job in providing a public transportation system that is much more reliable and efficient. We must ensure equal access to services our most vulnerable communities require, and we must make sure we have a plan for those who are currently being pushed out of their homes and communities.
We cannot nurture a holistic and healthy community if we do not take steps —now—to ensure the people who will live there can all be healthy and happy. This means, placing a higher priority on creating and fostering green spaces and public gardens in urban villages. This means, respecting all common spaces and making sure everyone is playing by the same rules. Most of all, this means listening to all of the voters and stakeholders in the district; whether they are homeowners, renters, unhoused, or workers and small business owners. We must realize high rise apartment complexes are not the only way for us to create density, and while it is extremely important to protect the rights of renters, we need to ensure we are not just playing into the hands of big corporate developers and landlords.
We must allow and incentivize backyard cottages and ADU construction and do more for mom and pop landlords who have for decades provided Seattle’s most affordable housing options. The fact of the matter is that Seattle is not creating enough affordable housing units. The hard truth is most low-income residents cannot afford the new units being constructed on a mass scale. This affects the socio-economic balance of our community and threatens to rip away the underlying fabric of what has made Seattle such a special city. Maybe it’s time for us to get out of the way and let property owners help in this battle to increase housing supply.
Based on my many years of varied experiences as a police officer, and countless conversations with the people of D6, it is obvious that restoring a sense of community-driven public safety has never been more important. This means increased funding for mental health and addiction services to help those in distress. This means differentiating between members of the homeless community who are truly in need of housing and wrap-around services, and those who have come to this city to sell drugs, vandalize, loot, and take advantage of our generosity. We must do more to identify those in our homeless community and share that information to achieve the very best outcomes for the individual. We must do this to protect the greater population from fugitives and criminals – and sexual predators. We need to work harder to ensure that there is safety, not only within housed communities, but even more so within our sanctioned and unsanctioned homeless camps. The victimization and predation that exists in the homeless community is appalling and we cannot allow this to continue on our watch. Too many people are dying on the streets and that is our responsibility. We must demand accountability, not only among our elected officials and police officers, but also among those they serve. We must do more to make sure that parks, sidewalks, green spaces, and the environment are not being degraded because we are afraid to have tough conversations. I do not intend to criminalize homelessness. However, the discarding of needles and the presence of human waste in our shared spaces is not okay. It must stop.
In terms of policing, we must hold bad cops accountable for their actions, while also remembering to praise and elevate the good officers.
There is still so much work to do to improve the relationship between the community and the police department. The concept of community policing attracted me to the force. I want to focus more resources on community policing in order to sustain a bridge that connects our residents with those who’ve sworn to protect and serve them. This means getting officers out of patrol cars and getting them into walking shoes to create true, sincere, connections between officers, residents, and businesses in our community. The more we know about each other, the more we can help each other. I also want to improve the retention of good police officers and firefighters by focusing on hiring locally and creating incentives for them to live in the communities they serve.
Like so many of you, I want to see this city succeed so that together we can all enjoy a healthy, safe, and equitable environment.

Hello everyone -- I think remember seeing someone address this question on the board before, but it was a long time ago and I can't find it anymore, and I don't remember the answer! I'm in the very early stages of thinking about buying a house, so I'm trying to get my "financial house" in order. I've purchased my scores through myFico and one of the things coming up on my score simulator is that I have lots of accounts with balances.
Very true, I'm working on getting my credit cards paid off, but the bulk of those accounts are coming from years of student loans (there are probably twenty different accounts reporting with balances). A few of those accounts have very small balances, balances that I could pay off right now to try and get the total number of accounts with balances down. However, I can't seem to find a way to direct my payments to only those loans. Does anyone do this? Do you think that the total number of student loan accounts with balances is having a big effect on my scores?
Call in to make your payment and have the account/loan number handy, your servicer should be able to give you a current pay-off amount for the loan and then apply it right there. Then just monitor your statements or online account to be sure the payment was applied properly.
I doubt that having many installment loans is having a huge impact on your score. Tidying up your CC balances will probably have a much larger impact. That said, those installment loans can have an impact on your debt-to-income ratio, which is very important when buying a home, so I see no reason not to start getting as many of those loans as you can paid off.

A growing pet population will require more veterinary technologists and technicians. In addition, many people consider their pets to be part of their family and are willing to pay more for pet care than in the past. Also, veterinary medicine has advanced considerably, and many of the veterinary services offered today are now comparable to health services for humans.
As veterinarians perform more specialized tasks, clinics and animal hospitals are increasingly using veterinary technologists and technicians to provide more general care and to do more laboratory work. Furthermore, as the number of veterinary services grows, veterinarians will continue to prefer higher skilled veterinary technologists and technicians over veterinary assistants for more complex work.
Continued support for public health, food and animal safety, and national disease control programs, as well as biomedical research on human health problems, also will contribute to demand for veterinary technologists.
Overall job opportunities for veterinary technologists and technicians are expected to be excellent, particularly in rural areas. The number of veterinary technology programs has been growing, but rapid employment growth means that the number of positions available will continue to outpace the number of new graduates. Workers leaving the occupation will also result in job openings.

One more thing that one can’t assist but discover about Asian brides is their petite stature. Normally, individuals don’t simply get married, and when they’re married, they’re prepared to struggle for his or her asian ladies for marriage household. All Iraqi ladies, the identical as Arabic women typically speaking, are particularly appealing.
If you happen to’re searching for Asian woman, bear in mind, mail order brides will not be divided into value categories and have no worth.

Although international locations in Asia are widespread sources of brides, the decision to grow to be mail order shouldn’t be an easy one to make. Of all of the utterly completely asian mail order brids different nationalities, you can all the time trust Asian girls to be humble. People have been sharing weird tales of mail order brides, from the couple who teamed as much as grow to be bounty hunters to the woman who realised that is how her mother and father met.
2,000 adults had been requested about relationships, and discovered that more than half of men say they’ve beloved a couple of individual their lifetime. Though there are many males contemplating registering as much as begin on the lookout for women in those agencies, it is troublesome to return throughout huge variety of members who are available latin brides for marriage for exclusive and instant touch.

Hunter Paper Co
Belfast Store 366 Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast, BT4 3EX, UK
- Letterpress greeting cards printed on a vintage press.
- Customizable luxury letterpress wedding stationery.
- A collection of stationery goods from the best brands around the world.
366 Upper Newtownards Road
WHAT WE LOVE
After establishing her wholesale card and print business in 2016, illustrator Emma Johnston opened her own shop, Hunter Paper Co., with her husband Ross in 2020. The brand uses a vintage printing press to produce their signature greeting cards and custom stationery, that are offered alongside a collection of beautiful stationery from all over the world.
"We really feel a part of the local community, which we could never have achieved by being purely online."
Emma started the business in 2016 just a few months after her illustration degree. She started screen printing cards and prints and selling at local markets. As the business started to grow she decided to take the leap and buy a letterpress printing press, teaching herself how to print and put together a collection for trade shows to sell wholesale to independent shops around the world. Throughout the years we often talked about our joint dream of the business having a physical space to not only house the production side of the business, but also to stock the beautiful products we found at trade shows over the years. Ross officially joined the business in 2020, although had always been a huge part of the business before then. He started growing our online shop and then we found the perfect space near our home and took the leap!
What makes Hunter Paper Co. so unique? Our shop combines our own brand products, designed and letterpress printed by us, as well as a curated selection of the best stationery from around the world coupled with warm, friendly service.
Emma & Ross Johnston, the shopkeepers at Hunter Paper Co
What inspired you to open Hunter Paper Co.? Meeting the independent shop owners we have stocked over the years at trade shows, seeing their passion for independent retail, and the idea of curating our own selection of products we were finding at shows and on our travels. The pandemic definitely sped up the trajectory of our business. We knew we'd one day love to open a shop, and the pandemic gave us the space to think about it seriously and decide to take the leap.
What do you love about having a shop? Seeing people get excited about a notebook or fountain pen never gets old, meeting and getting to know so many interesting and lovely people. We really feel a part of the local community, which we could never have achieved by being purely online.
ON THE FUTURE OF RETAIL
"We really think the future is local. Getting to know the people who live nearby and pass by everyday, it's what people are yearning for after years of zoom meetings! Curation is also a huge aspect of making retail a success. People go to a shop because of the look and feel of the place and what they might find that's different from the cookie-cutter bigger stores."
