Antique Hall Tables, also known as an Antique Telephone Table was a long slim piece of furniture often similar to the console table in design but this stands on four legs and quite often will have one or two drawers in the front or sides. They were mainly built in Oak or Mahogany were produced in the Victorian and Edwardian periods often in the Arts and Crafts designs. Due to their slim, tall appearance, they are very useful and stylish, so can really be placed anywhere in the home but were originally only built to stand in a hallway. Furniture makers like Gillows of Lancaster and Maple & Co, specialised in such tables and often built them to the customers specification, but these are quite hard to come by as they are very sought after and collectable. These antique tables would look lovely either in a hall, ideal for keeping keys in whilst acting as a telephone table or even simply as a side table in a living space providing a home for a lamp and precious family photos. Here at Antiques world, we do get good traditional antique tables in stock, along with hall furniture. Have a look below at our lovely examples for sale.
Hall Tables for sale
Below are a few examples of previously sold Hall tables, but if any particular style looks of interest please let us know as we do get many similar designs in stock and we can try to locate something similar.
Quality Rosewood, Small Antique Hall Table of outstanding quality with a beautifully figured rectangular top with rounded corners above two mahogany lined frieze drawers and original small turned handles. This formation is typical of writing tables made by Holland & Sons.
Edwardian Mahogany Small Antique Telephone Table. It has a rectangular top beautifully banded in satinwood above two mahogany lined drawers with original brass handles. It stands on four tapering legs with string inlay detailing and spade feet.
Regency Mahogany Antique Hall Table with two oak lined drawers and brass swan neck handles. It has a fine shaped apron and stands on four tapering legs.
19th Century Bow Fronted Antique Hall Table from the Regency period, circa 1830 and constructed from mahogany with the classic bow front design. The top has moulded edges with attractive string inlay around the perimeter. The bow fronted top sits above two oak lined drawers with decorative brass handles and boxwood string inlay decoration to the front. The table sits on elegantly turned legs and is the perfect size to sit at the side of a sofa, perhaps with a reading light? There is evidence, to the expert eye, that the top has been modified. This was quite a common practice during the Edwardian period when additional decoration was often added, as is likely to be the case in this instance. It has resulted in a beautiful table having classic Regency lines with practical proportions.
Oak Antique Telephone Table / Hall Table full of charm and character. The rectangular top has a moulded lower edge above a frieze drawer that displays cock beading and the original brass swan neck handles. The table stands elegantly on four tapering legs which still retain the original attractive pierced fretwork brackets to the hip (these often break over time so this table is quite rare still having them in place).
Antique Edwardian Inlaid Hall Table in the Sheraton design. It has a serpentine shaped top which has beautifully inlaid cross banding and a strikingly figured flamed mahogany oval central panel. The front has an unusual three over two drawer configuration all of which are mahogany lined, have cock beading and flow in a serpentine shape. The corners are canted and all sides are finished and shaped so it may be placed to the side of a sofa or in an open position.

After taunting Kanye West just last month, Soulja Boy has once again inserted himself in the love triangle of Ye, Kim Kardashian, and Pete Davidson. This time, Soulja Boy is going at Pete Davidson.
Following Pete Davidson seemingly having enough and going at Ye via iMessage, Soulja is issuing a special message:
“You better watch your motherf-cking mouth, n-gga. I do not like how you talking to Kanye,” said Soulja Boy. “Can’t no one talk to Kanye like that but me! What the f-ck you mean you laying up in the bed with his wife, he can pull up and do this and that? Boy, stop playing before we come and mush your punk ass up.”
Soulja added, “PSA! Watch your f-cking mouth when you talking to Kanye like that! I don’t know who the f-ck you think you is but you not Big Draco. Do not talk to Kanye like that no more! Or you gone have me on your ass, n-gga. Goddamn Kim Kardashian got you feelin’ yourself a little bit too much. Got to bring you back to reality, Skete.”
Last month, Big Draco had a message for Kanye:
“Kanye, wake up. Skete got yo bitch n-gga, whatchu gon do? Is you gon keep posting memes of Marvel vs. Capcom or you gon lay the smackdown? That’s what the fuck you get n*gga! N*gga tried to play me. N*gga, you know who the fuck I am? I’m Big Draco and now you running around Hollywood crying like a b*tch.”

NEW AND EXCLUSIVE: MYELOMA CANADA IS PARTICIPATING IN THE PILOT PROJECT OF CLINICAL TRIALS QUEBEC’S PERSONALIZED SUPPORT SERVICE
Myeloma Canada is proud to announce that it has joined Clinical Trials Quebec’s Personalized Support Service pilot project.
This support service, developed by Clinical Trials Quebec and powered by CATALIS Quebec, offers patients of all ages and medical conditions, as well as their caregivers, the possibility of finding clinical trials meeting their criteria. Clinical Trials Quebec’s team of health professionals guides patients and their caregivers through each step of their search and provides an overview of the clinical trials currently available.
The Personalized Clinical Trial Support Service is a new, bilingual, and free service designed to offer a compassionate and user-friendly support to patients and caregivers in Quebec. The support service’s goal is to provide patients and their loved ones with accurate and verified information, as well as simplified access to sometimes complex information, so that they can initiate or facilitate discussions with their medical team about participating in a clinical trial.
In the initial launch phase of its pilot, the Personalized Clinical Trial Support Service will focus solely on a few patient communities, including MC. “We are very pleased to be part of this initiative which will directly support members of our community in their search for clinical trials. For patients, choosing a clinical trial as a treatment option often means having to learn new concepts and debunk some myths. Among the tools we have developed to support them in this process, the Personalized Clinical Trial Support Service of Recherche Clinique Québec will enhance this offer, helping them determine if this is a good treatment option for them, regardless of the stage of their journey with myeloma,” says Martine Elias, Executive Director of Myeloma Canada.”
Clinical Trials Quebec’s Personalized Support Service is complementary to the other programs seeking to improve Quebec’s clinical research environment and serves as an opportunity for participants to obtain a summary of the various clinical trials that correspond to their needs.
To make a cost-free request to the Personalized Support Service, or to learn more about this pilot project, you can contact the Clinical Trials Quebec team by phone at 1-866 669‑6814 or by e-mail at [email protected]. You can also view the project’s microsite at clinicaltrialsquebec.com.

Giorgio Moroder Remixes Coldplay So It Doesn't Suck Anymore
The grandpa of EDM gives Coldplay a much needed makeover
Byon April 21, 2014
Few names strike more terror into the hearts of music lovers than that of Coldplay, who have made a career making music entirely for junior proms and hastily thrown together montages. Their song "Midnight" is no exception. The album version is bland to the point of being the audio version of a packet of saltines. In order to make this palatable you'd have to give the song a much needed overhaul, right?
Enter Giorgio Moroder.
For those of you not in the know, Moroder is the granddaddy of electronic dance music. He was instrumental (music joke, you guys!) in popularizing synthesizers in popular music in the 70s and for developing early disco sounds, and for all you young folk he was recently featured on the new Daft Punk album, too. In short, he's pretty great. He's taken a much needed stab at the Coldplay track "Midnight" and turned it from an aural holding pattern into a veritable dance floor banger (That's what the kids call them, right? Bangers?). He doesn't add a whole lotmerely punching it up and adding a house beat and some synth gemsbut it adds a lot of life to the track.
Give it a spin. It doesn't suck, and that's about as big a compliment as any about a Coldplay song, y'know?

With the world urbanising at a rapid rate, the future lies in the cities of the globe. Urban centres are marked by concentrations of people and serve as the growth centres of nation states. However, urban landscapes in emerging economies are characterised by rampant inequality and slums and their histories are full of paternalistic endeavours to improve living conditions for people living in these settlements.
This paper aims to understand the key areas of development for slum populations, as stated by them. A survey was conducted in the selected case study of VP Singh Camp in 2011 to understand the needs of the urban poor. The paper argues that the people living in the urban slums have vlear ersponses to improve their own situation and therefore should be made integral to the decision-making process of their development which at present bypasses them.

This past weekend we escaped about an hour and a half outside the city to visit some wineries in the Hudson River Valley area. We hopped in the car with my in-laws and spent the day tasting at a few different places and then enjoyed an absolutely incredible summer solstice dinner at the Millbrook Winery. It involved lots of lobster, butter, and a table right in the vineyards ,with beautiful weather to top it all off!
For the day of tasting I wore white jeans with a striped top and added a coral necklace for a pop of color. The quality on this shirt is great, the material is very sturdy. Not online anymore but might be in stores.
For dinner I changed into a new navy maxi dress and I just love it! The perfect dress for a summer night, and even 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!

Black July was a tragic and dark chapter in Sri Lanka's history, leading to widespread violence, destruction, and loss of innocent lives. The harrowing events of Black July not only left a deep scar on the nation's conscience but also exposed the extreme consequences of ethnic tensions and the violation of basic human rights. In July 1983, a wave of orchestrated violence was unleashed against Tamil civilians in Colombo and other parts of the country. Mobs, incited by extremist elements, targeted Tamil homes, businesses, and places of worship, leading to a gruesome massacre. The brutal violence lasted for several days, resulting in thousands of deaths and displacing countless Tamil families.
During Black July, the Tamil population endured unimaginable suffering and human rights violations. There were reports of law enforcement and security forces either turning a blind eye or, in some instances, actively participating in the violence. The right to life, enshrined in Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), was callously disregarded as thousands lost their lives. Reports emerged of Tamil civilians being subjected to unspeakable horrors, with Article 7 of the ICCPR on the prohibition of torture and inhuman treatment brutally breached, along with the systematic violation of the right to liberty and security, freedom from discrimination, and protection of minorities.
Black July serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of hate and discrimination based on ethnicity. It underscores the consequences of ethnic tensions, violence, and the history of Tamil genocide, emphasizing importance of fostering peace and understanding through mechanisms of transitional justice that promote healing, accountability, and reconciliation. Pursuing accountability for those responsible for the violence is vital for achieving justice. This may involve prosecuting individuals for human rights violations regardless of their rank or affiliation. Similarly, providing reparations to victims and addressing the root causes of the violence requires reforms to ensure that state institutions, security forces, and judicial systems are restructured to prevent similar atrocities in the future. This also includes establishing memorials and embedding social and cultural practices that can help honour the memory of victims and acknowledge the collective trauma experienced by the Tamil people. Integrating the history of Black July and transitional justice principles into educational curricula can raise awareness among the younger generation, fostering a culture of respecting human rights and understanding. A good example of this is the Tamil Genocide Education Week Act, 2021.
As we move forward, it is the collective duty of our and future generations to reflect on the somber reminder of the tragic consequences of Black July. We must not forget the pain and suffering endured by countless individuals during this dark period in history. Instead, we must use this collective memory to drive us towards a more just and inclusive society. By embracing the principles of truth, accountability, and reconciliation through effective transitional justice methods, we can work towards healing the wounds of the past and building a brighter future. Through education, empathy, and a commitment to human rights, the younger generation can play a pivotal role in ensuring that the lessons of Black July are never forgotten, guiding us towards a society that upholds peace, unity, and respect for all. Together, we can honor the memory of the victims and survivors and strive for a society where such tragedies are never repeated, and where every citizen can live in dignity and harmony.

THE planning applications committee at Surrey Heath Borough Council is grinding to a halt as members are increasingly distracted by the findings of the Standards Board for England.
At the most recent meeting on Monday a heated exchange of views concerning the Standards Board's advice led to an outburst from the chairman, Cllr Ken Pedder.
He referred to the recent investigations into 11 former and current Conservative councillors, including himself, in which they were all found to have brought their office or authority into disrepute over planning matters.
He said: "This has brought a heavy responsibility on the person who is holding the chairmanship of the planning applications committee.
"We have to be sure that the reasons given for overturning officers' recommendations are detailed and adequate.
"That word adequate is a difficult one, as you can understand."
Cllr Pedder also confirmed that the Conservatives are still considering taking the Standards Board to judicial review over its findings as he responded hotly to another councillor.
During one application, for a block of 15 flats at Beaumaris Parade in Frimley, four of the Tory members of the committee decided to abstain from voting after a Liberal Democrat member asked the committee to turn the application down despite officer recommendations to approve it.
This is the procedure for which they were criticised by the Standards Board, which said they had not given adequate reasons for overturning officer recommendations to refuse developments in the green belt.
Following the meeting Cllr David Whitcroft, leader of the Lib Dems, called their actions "absurd" and called for Tory members to resign from the planning committee if they were not going to take it seriously.
"It is absolutely absurd that four Tory members of the planning applications committee abstained on a planning application.
"From the amount of discussion of Standards Board issues by the Tory group — and they talked more about that than about the actual planning application itself — it seems clear that they would rather make planning decisions on the basis of what they think the Standards Board might conclude than on planning merits.
"If the Tories are not prepared to participate properly in the planning committee they should resign and make way for councillors who are."
Since the Standards Board began its investigations into the Tory councillors, members of the public have seen meetings of the planning committee descend into chaos as the members appear not to understand their own code of conduct.
One Tory councillor, Viv Chapman, decided to stand down from the committee following allegations made against her to the Standards Board.
However, the Lib Dems now believe that the Tories are gunning for them and are scrutinising their members of the planning committee in a bid to report them to the Standards Board.
Cllr Whitcroft said: "I have been advised that the Conservative group, at a recent meeting, discussed ways of embarrassing the opposition groups with the Standards Board.
"Comments at the meeting on Monday seem to support that — I can only think it would be to divert attention away from themselves."
Cllr Chapman refuted this: "The opposition are rattled because of what is coming back from the Standards Board. We're not petty. This was about ordinary voting which was non-political, as planning is supposed to be."
She added: "I think the whole system is a disgrace. I was given no access to a lawyer and I think it is completely against my human rights.
"The past two years with the Standards Board investigations have caused me a great deal of stress. For someone with health problems, or an elderly person, it could have caused them serious damage."
Cllr Whitcroft handed in a motion last Friday asking for an emergency meeting to be called to put a stop to the possibility of judicial review.
He is still waiting to hear of the council's decision.

The Hill of Despair is the location of the final battle of Final Fantasy IX, where Necron is fought. The party reaches it after battling Trance Kuja. The exact nature of the Hill of Despair is never explained, but it may be a kind of Purgatorial plane.
After fighting and getting blasted by Kuja's Ultima spell, Zidane wakes up to find himself with his friends in the Hill of Despair, where Necron, a deity whose sole purpose is to destroy all life, reveals its intentions. Necron declares it will revert the world to the "zero world", a world with no crystal and thus no life, claiming this is what all living beings crave, as there would be no fear of death in such a world. Zidane opposes Necron, and wants to prove how much they want to live despite life's fleetingness. The chosen party's allies revive the battle party, who face Necron head on. The battle ends in Necron's supposed defeat; though it withdraws, it claims it will exist as long as there is life in the world. After the battle, Kuja teleports the heroes outside of the Iifa Tree.
- Necron (Final Boss)
The Hill of Despair returns as the BMS for "The Final Battle" from both Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X.
Behind the scenes
The concept art for the Hill of Despair shows the party battling Hades instead of Necron. That is because Hades was originally planned to be the final boss of Final Fantasy IX, but was changed to an optional boss later in development. Hades has an eye within his sword and numerous prominent eyes peering from his throne. The final battle arena also has blinking eyes on the interior walls. It is possible that Hades represented the final culmination of the eye motifs observed throughout the game, seen largely on structures of Terran design.

How to get married in Montreal
Picture this: a city where European charm meets modern elegance, where every street corner tells a story, and where your love story unfolds in the most magical way possible. Welcome to Montreal, a perfect destination for your wedding. This guide is crafted to walk you through the enchanting journey of getting married in this vibrant city, ensuring your big day is as beautiful and seamless as the city itself.
The Essentials: Legalities and Documents
Before you dive into the fun stuff, let’s get the paperwork out of the way. If you and your partner are not Canadian residents, you’ll need a Quebec marriage license. This requires valid IDs (think passports or birth certificates) and proof of civil status. Depending on your home country, additional documents like a Certificate of No Impediment or Declaration of Single Status might be needed. Contact the Canadian embassy or consulate early on to get clear guidance. Remember, this step is crucial and lays the foundation for your dream wedding in Montreal.
Venue Selection: Montreal’s Finest
Montreal is a city of splendid variety when it comes to wedding venues. Whether you’re dreaming of a lavish hotel ballroom, a historic building, a serene garden, or a chic loft, Montreal has it all.
- Hotels: The Ritz-Carlton Montreal, known for its luxury and elegance, could be the perfect spot for a grand wedding.
- Historic Venues: Bonsecours Market and Windsor Ballrooms offer a blend of history and sophistication.
- Gardens and Parks: For nature lovers, Montreal’s numerous parks and gardens, like Mount Royal Park, provide a stunning green backdrop.
- Unique Spaces: For a modern twist, consider a trendy loft or an art gallery for an intimate and stylish setting.
When visiting potential venues, picture your wedding day unfolding there. Think about the size, ambiance, accessibility, and, importantly, the venue’s own rules and restrictions.
Incorporating Montreal’s Charm
Add a touch of Montreal’s unique flavour to your wedding. Consider hiring local artists for live paintings at your reception, offering a creative and personalized memento for your guests. Embrace the city’s cultural heritage with a Quebecois music and dance performance, or go bold with a Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatic act. For your menu, infuse local delicacies like poutine, tourtière, and maple syrup-infused desserts. Partner with a caterer specializing in Quebecois cuisine for an authentic taste of Montreal.
Montreal’s Wedding Services: The Dream Team
Planning a wedding is no small feat, but Montreal’s array of wedding services can make it a breeze. From experienced wedding planners who know the city inside out to skilled photographers who can capture the essence of your day, the options are plentiful.
- Wedding Planners: They can be your guide, helping you navigate the local scene and coordinating every detail.
- Photographers and Videographers: Choose someone whose style resonates with your vision to immortalize your special day.
THE REAL QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD BE ASKING YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
- Florists and Decorators: Montreal’s florists can bring your floral dreams to life, whether you prefer classic roses or wildflowers.
- Musicians and DJs: Music sets the tone for your celebration, so pick performers who align with your taste and can keep your guests dancing all night.
Natural Beauty and Seasonal Splendor
Montreal’s natural beauty and distinct seasons offer a stunning backdrop for your wedding. Spring and summer are vibrant with blooming flowers and lush greenery, perfect for outdoor ceremonies. Fall brings a warm palette of colours, ideal for a cozy, rustic-themed wedding. Winter, with its snow-covered landscapes, offers a fairytale setting for a romantic, white wedding.
Guest Experience: Making It Memorable
Your guests are travelling to celebrate with you, so make their experience memorable. Offer a range of accommodation options, from luxury hotels to quaint B&Bs. Montreal’s culinary scene is not to be missed; suggest local eateries and famous dishes. Organize group activities like a guided tour of Old Montreal, a visit to the Botanical Garden, or a food-tasting tour to introduce them to the city’s charms.
The Journey to “I Do”
Planning a wedding in Montreal can be as delightful as the city itself. From the legal groundwork to the last dance, every step is an opportunity to create something extraordinary. This guide is just the beginning – your love story and personal style will shape the rest. Montreal is a canvas awaiting your unique touch, ready to make your wedding not just an event but a beautiful beginning to your lifelong journey together.
As you embark on this exciting path, remember that your wedding in Montreal is more than a celebration; it’s an experience, a memory, and a testament to your love story set against the backdrop of one of the most charming cities in the world. So, embrace the adventure, savour every moment, and let Montreal work its magic on your special day.

Project duration July 2015- June 2018
Objective: To develop alternative sustainable management practices across the Torbay Catchment through increased understanding of soil biology and responses to soil microbes by 2018.
This project uses results and learnings from the 2013-15 project to encourage the understanding of soil biology to reduce off site impacts and improve productivity in the Torbay Catchment. Associated workshops, field days and communication activities will engage farming communities in innovative practices to increase skills, knowledge and confidence to adopt new behaviors.
Activities to date include:
- Commencement of soil trials
- TM Agricultural, a soil rejuvenator is being trialed
- Collection, culturing and application of local microbes is being trialed at the other sites
- Workshops run to date include
- Understanding your soil test & nutrient mapping
- Spend a day with Hugh Lovel
- 3 day bio-fertiliser workshop with Kym Cruse (TCG paid for members to attend this)
- Soil biology field day
- LAMP (Local Area Microbe Preparation) field collection days x 4

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy involves any damage to the body's nervous system that is not a part of either the brain or spinal cord. It can be caused by diabetes, traumatic injuries, toxin exposure, infections, and metabolic problems. A board-certified functional neurologist, like those at West LA Neuro-Kinesiology.
Problems with the peripheral nervous system can create numbness on one side of the spectrum, to extreme pain on the other side, and everything in between. Neuropathy starts to become abnormal when a person feels excessive pain or a lack of pain that would normally be expected.
The following represent issues to go to the emergency room:
- Sudden extreme pain, especially around the heart
- Unusual chest pains that last more than a few minutes, like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain
- Paralysis (fast onset)
- Sudden lack of coordination that may cause falling
- Lack of consciousness
Peripheral neuropathy covers issues where quality of life is at stake, not life itself. It covers those things that often may have a slow onset, not a sudden onset. However, after a severe event like a stroke or a heart attack, a functional neurologist can assist in a patient's recovery.
A board-certified functional neurologist can help with:
- Constant muscle weakness, especially when muscles on the other side of the body remain strong
- Unexplained pain that never seems to go away or keeps increasing
- Gradual onset of numbness, prickling, or tingling in the hands or feet, possibly spreading up the limbs
An important part of the work of a functional neurologist is to try to uncover the underlying reasons for these symptoms. If you already know you have some of these problems, we ask that you let us know. Some of these could include:
- Chemo therapy
- Pinched nerves (which could be from skeletal issues, arthritis or carpel-tunnel syndrome)
- Damaged tissue
Any persistent nerve pain, tingling, or numbness that is not normal should be looked at by a chiropractic neurologist. They can do:
- A 5S Bio Structural Analysis
- Nerve performance scanning
- Bio-impedance testing
- Nerve testing
- Cortisol testing
- Adrenal testing
- Neurovascular testing
- Laser therapy to reduce inflammation
- Manual therapy to repair tissue
- Physiotherapy to regain strength
- Vibration platform training
- High-energy electrical stimulation to regenerate blood circulation and heal nerve tissue
We can inform you about what can be done at home to improve your lifestyle.
We want to help you have a better quality of life. Come into West LA Neuro-Kinesiology today or give us a call at 310-427-7374!

Utilities use customer dollars to pay for their lobbying. Here’s how lawmakers can stop it.
Electric and gas utilities have used money collected from customers to lobby lawmakers, butter up regulators, and slow the shift to clean energy. Beyond being occasionally illegal, the practice has stuck consumers with higher bills and led to higher carbon dioxide emissions,

It is fair to say that the fight against corruption is one of the drivers, if not the driver, of the current protest movement. We are all quite familiar with protesters’ claim that the present regime is corrupt to the core and the massive scale corruption and incompetency brought the country to a bankruptcy. Corruption charges, however, are not just directed at Rajapaksas and the governing party alone. As this newspaper reported recently, the JVP leadership gleefully announced that they are in possession of over 500 files containing corruption charges against politicians (including the Opposition leader), ministry secretaries and other government officers. The same news item named the corruption case against Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s cousin Jaliya Wickramasuriya, who reportedly pocketed US$3.32 million (at today’s rate a person making Rs.100,000 a month has to work more than 100 years to make that much money) on a US$ 6.25 million real estate deal, pertinent to the Sri Lankan Embassy, when he served as Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to the United States. That is a commission exceeding 50 percent! Jaliya seems to put ‘Mr. Ten Percent’ to shame. As staggering as these numbers may, we all know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you dig a little deeper, the numbers are astounding. If you listen to the protesters, and read the banners and placards, no parliamentarian is exempted from corruption charges. Claims that the entire treasury has been looted seems not that exaggerated after all.

December 21, 2009
December 21, 2009
The investment of public funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 has stabilized the economy and created jobs across Ohio and the nation. The intent of the federal stimulus includes assisting those most impacted by the recession; creating jobs; and repairing and upgrading the nation’s infrastructure. In this analysis, we reviewed distribution patterns in three primary transportation programs to determine how Ohio addressed the intent of the federal law. We found that in Ohio, economic distress was targeted in both rural and urban areas. Primary cities, where the economic need is high, population dense and infrastructure old, were targeted for investment. Ohio will be adding more new capacity in interchanges and wider roads and bypasses than is typical for the nation, even though maintenance and repair and investment in mass transit can create more jobs than construction of new highway miles.
Policy Matters released an initial version of this report in November. The portion of that report that focused on the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) spending was data driven and considered all MPO funding together. After hearing strong concerns from MPOs, we decided that the analysis would be strengthened by incorporating interviews and by some revisions in categories. This report incorporates those revisions, including interviews with seven of the eight MPOs. As a result of those discussions, this revised analysis contains more discussion of methodology. As in our original analysis, we found that the MPOs as a whole spent more money in suburban communities than in primary cities (like Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Akron).
We conclude that the ARRA transportation funds did a good job of targeting need and creating jobs and we end with recommendations to ensure maximum job creation, need-targeting, and urban investment from future use of federal funds.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which heads to Congress this week along with the Protect IP Act, has everyone from politicians to ordinary citizens up in arms. Various websites and social media organized digital protests (or just raged) today against the legislation, and Twitter was no exception.
If the Act passes, many say social sites like Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr, could be heavily regulated or removed from the Internet altogether. SOPA also has the potential to directly impact journalists.
With good reason then, Stop Online Piracy Act was a trending topic on Twitter. According to Topsy, the hashtag #SOPA was tweeted more than 54,000 times in the last 24 hours alone.
Users urged each other to sign petitions and call their local politicans. Some vented and shared videos and the text of the act, while still others cracked jokes about the Internet and Congress.
For more information on the Protect IP Act, the Fight for the Future organization created this video.

This track is definitely a different approach than “Monster”, but it still satisfies nonetheless due to neat sample usage and clever rhymes. The Drew Money-produced track comes off Ms. Minaj’s Pink Friday which drops November 22nd – just like Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Tune in below.

text: Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) of the pleura represents a distinct mesothelial tumor presenting with unilateral pleural effusion and superficial spreading of stout papillary formations with myxoid cores, lined by bland, flattened, or epithelioid cells, without or with limited invasion of the submesothelial layer. The majority of cases have been reported in the peritoneum in women of reproductive age with no history of asbestos exposure and also in the tunica vaginalis of men. We report 24 cases of pleural WDPM and compared their histologic, epidemiologic, and clinical features with those of classic mesothelioma. Men and women were equally affected, with a mean age of 60 years. Half of the patients had a history of occupational asbestos exposure. In 11 patients with a minimal follow-up period of 24 months, the survival ranged from 36 to 180 months with an average of 74 months as compared with 9.89 months for 1248 paired patients with diffuse malignant mesothelioma. Ten-year survival was 30.8%. We conclude that WDPM is a rare and unusual mesothelial tumor, characterized by a lack of deep invasion and associated with an indolent clinical course and long survival. For these reasons, WDPM is best considered as a specific clinico-pathologic entity distinct from conventional diffuse malignant mesothelioma.

The Journey Part 1 – NYC: Pure Food & Wine
What a magical experience it's been on this journey so far! I'm currently on the beach in Jacksonville, Florida... but I'll go back to the start. My trip began with an action packed week in New York City - Visits with friends, wonderful yoga classes at different studios, amazing food, sight seeing, shopping... it was all I could have hoped for, and more! I kicked started the trip with a dinner at Pure Food and Wine with Philip. I've been wanting to eat there foreeever, and I can happily say I've done it (twice)! Get ready for a photo fiesta! I made sure to have the camera ready and waiting to go…
I started with the Master Cleanse Tini - lemon, maple syrup, cayenne, and sake. Really good, but a bit spicy for me, especially toward the end when the cayenne seemed to gather at the bottom.
We decided to get a bunch of food and share. For an appetizer we went with the Plate of Assorted Cultured Dr. Cow Tree Nut Cheeses served with rosemary crisps, pear, mache, and basswood honey. Delicious! Each component is great, but combined, this is a real savory treat! I would totally order it again.
Then we enjoyed the house cured olives with fennel and orange (pictured in the back), and the Asian hand rolls with spicy cream. I enjoy olives in moderation since they're a bit salty for me, but the orange/fennel was a nice combo. The hand rolls were good (not on the menu)... marinated cabbage filling of some kind. They were pretty good but I wouldn't order again.
Mojito- Mint, lime juice, sake, cava - this was my favourite! So refreshing!
Squash blossoms stuffed with spring onion and herb cheese... over heirloom tomato and marinated fennel/capers, with strawberries in aged balsamic vinegar, for the main course. This was seriously delicious! The cheese is insaaane! We also had some kind of croquettes in spicy sauce - not on the menu - it was really tasty too!
Dessert! Always my favorite part of the meal. Chocolate and more chocolate here. Trio of dark chocolate coated indian spiced ice cream treats: Chocolate cardamom coconut ice cream cone, pistachio gelato ice cream sandwich, chai tea creamsicle. Frozen heaven! I highly recommend!
Mint Sundae- chocolate, fresh mint, mint chip ice cream, mint chocolate cookies, and vanilla cream. I absolutely love ice cream so it was a given I would order this. The little choco chunks throughout really make it!
A few days later I enjoyed a second trip to Pure Food with some friends. Unfortunately that night I discovered that my camera battery was almost finished, so I didn't even get a pic of the 5 of us, or all the food- but I was able to snap a few shots really quickly here and there. Here I am with my good friend Deana (who I hadn't seen in a few years. It was so good to see her again!), and new friend Mary, who I met via my blog. We all had a great evening!
While everyone else drank wine, I enjoyed the Purple Rain Cocktail - raspberries, blueberries, yuzu, sake. The 3 of us gals decided to do food sharsies. We chose 3 appetizers: a salad with some kind of sherry dressing, candied walnuts, cheese, and dried berries (which I didn't get a shot of). It was fabulous, and I could have eaten a whole one myself - sharing 3 ways just left a few bites! Then we had:
Cream Cheese on Rosemary Crostini with marinated mushrooms, and fennel. This was really fabulous! Crunchy, creamy, and full of flavor.
King Oyster Mushroom Scallops with chive creme fraiche, wilted watercress, and garlic tomato broth. I was amazed at how similar this actually is to real scallops despite the fact they're made with mushrooms (I used to enjoy them back in the day). Actually, these are a bit firmer than a properly cooked (tender) scallop, but oh so yummy! The tomato broth is really flavorful, and the creme works really well in the dish.
For the main course, we enjoyed the Trio of Mini Pizzettes with various toppings... I don't remember exactly what was on each... but there were cherry tomatoes, cheese, marinated mushrooms, pesto, mache, probably other things... They were all delicious, although a tad salty. We also had the Enchiladas which I wasn't too impressed with. Definitely not like a typical one with a wrap and fillings... but the flavors were nice.
For dessert we enjoyed the Ice Cream Trio and Mint Sundae (I got to enjoy them twice!) and this Chocolate Mousse in Dark Chocolate with blueberry ice cream, vanilla cream, and berry puree. It was great - the other two are still my faves though.
No, we're not enjoying these desserts at all!!
More mint sundae! View from the top.
That wraps up my first two Pure Food and Wine experiences! I shall be back in NYC for another week and will be sure to try everything else on the menu 🙂

Dear Fall Weather,
The good people of the South are pining for your arrival. We are sweating in our jeans in hopes of hurrying you along. All we are asking for is a little cold front, just a taste of things to come. You are my favorite season, after all. This 95 degree with 85% humidity madness has to end.
In honor of the fall weather that I just know is right around the corner, I decided it was time for a little frugal crafting. Hobby Lobby had wreaths and fake flowers on 50% off, so I got a grapevine wreath and a bouquet of sunflowers for under $5. Then I found a fall leaf garland at the Dollar Store. The grand total for the wreath was $6, plus the glue and scissors I already own. I’ve seen a few fall wreaths around that I’ve loved, but they cost $25-$45. Not in the budget…
I wrapped the garland around the wreath, securing it in the back in between the wires of the wreath, securing it with a little glue. I removed the flowers from their stems and covered the backs of them in glue. I wedged 3 of them in a row down into the wreath, holding them in place with pressure until the glue set.

In one of the incidents, which took place on August 2, 2014 Davis brought a woman to the Wake Forest Police Department for testing after he stopped her on suspicion of DWI. Without allowing her the full 30 minutes to contact a witness, Davis recorded that she hadn’t requested one. When the woman asked questions about the test, the deputy simply claimed she had refused to take it — and filed that refusal with the Dept. of Motor Vehicles.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the most important investment themes in recent years.
While there are many ways to participate in this up-and-coming technology, one of the easiest ways is to look for companies that will benefit enormously from this technology.
In this article, we will explore one company that could fit into the above description — Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), the e-commerce and cloud computing giant.
AI and e-commerce
Launched as an online bookstore in 1995, Amazon came from nowhere to dominate the e-commerce business. It did this by making changes constantly to find out what would keep it growing. As AI gains the ability to do more, Amazon will likely shape its future operation further to take advantage of that and eventually solidify its leadership even more.
Let’s start with an obvious area where AI will be impactful — customer experience. AI is transforming customer experiences on Amazon by providing personalized recommendations based on individual preferences, purchase history, and browsing behavior. And thanks to ever-more-advanced algorithms, Amazon can deliver ever more targeted product suggestions, which should improve customer satisfaction and retention.
Another example is using AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants to enhance customer service. These chatbots can reduce response time and provide relevant information to help solve customer queries, leading to better customer satisfaction.
But beyond these easily observable areas, AI is revolutionizing Amazon’s operation in a big way. For example, AI is helping Amazon with demand forecasting. By analyzing vast amounts of data, AI algorithms can help predict demand, allowing Amazon to maintain optimal stock levels at different locations at different points in time. The outcome is lower inventory cost, less stock-out, and ultimately better customer experiences.
Another central area of improvement that AI will bring is warehouse operations. AI-driven robots and automation technologies will help Amazon in aspects like picking and packing, leading to higher efficiency, lower cost, and faster order fulfillment.
In short, Amazon is already employing AI in many areas of its business and will likely use more of it in the future.
AI and cloud computing
Another area of Amazon that will likely see an enormous impact from using AI is its cloud computing business or Amazon Web Services (AWS). As a start, AI will help optimize AWS infrastructure and operations. AWS can leverage AI technologies to improve resource allocation, automate routine tasks, and enhance its cloud computing services’ overall performance and efficiency. This optimization will help AWS save costs (and pass on the savings to customers) and improve its service to customers.
More importantly, AWS can leverage advanced AI technology to offer customers machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) services and solutions. These services empower businesses to leverage the most advanced AI capabilities without developing their infrastructure, reducing time to market and costs.
A recent example is the introduction of Bedrock, a cloud-based platform to help companies build generative AI applications like chatbots, text generation, image generation, etc. Using Bedrock, companies can leverage AI models from third parties like Stability AI, Anthropic, AI21 Labs, or Amazon’s in-house model Titan to build AI-powered tools. The result is lower investment costs and faster outcomes for companies in leveraging advanced AI tools to improve their operations.
And with the continued evolution and expansion of AI technology, investors can count on AWS to grow its suite of AI offerings in the future. A diversified offering, in turn, will attract and retain customers, which could expand AWS’s market share further.
Amazon is the AI stock to watch
Amazon is a leader in both e-commerce and its cloud computing business. The use of AI could further cement its position in these industries.
In e-commerce, AI is already transforming customer experience and improving operational efficiency. Meanwhile, AI is transforming AWS cloud offerings and driving new revenue opportunities.
And with its continuous investment in AI, Amazon is well-positioned to flourish in the AI-driven future.

Michelle Madrigal Reveals Battle With Anxiety, Depression: Fitness Is My Outletby Lei Dimarucut-Sison .
Most moms are no stranger to the feeling of sadness, or baby blues, which is quite common among new parents. Lately, more women are being diagnosed with postpartum depression (PPD), a more extreme condition which warrants immediate and specialized care and treatment.
Celebrity moms are no different from the rest of us in that they, too, often fall victim to PPD. But through social media, and using their popularity as leverage, they are able to reach out to their followers and share with them their own journeys and how they overcome their struggles.
Two days ago, former actress Michelle Madrigal revealed that she has been battling anxiety and depression for some time now. The life events in the last few years had been hard on the 30-year-old actress, who gave birth to her first child, daughter Anika, in October 2017. She tied the knot with Troy Woolfolk last month after one-and-a-half years of engagement.ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW
What other parents are reading
"I just want to share that on top of looking and feeling good...the gym has been my go to place since giving birth to Anika," she captioned a recent Instagram post.
"My life has gone through a huge transition from moving to U.S, leaving my career, starting over, losing my father, being a mom away from family etc.," she captioned her workout selfie.
Michelle left her career in show business in the Philippines to study culinary arts in the United States in 2016. In July 2017, she and her American fiance got engaged while she was pregnant with their child. Following weeks of kidney and liver complications, her father passed away in March the following year.
Through it all, Michelle had stayed resilient, even as she herself was adjusting to the life of a first-time mom in a faraway place.
What other parents are reading
Michelle has bravely documented her postpartum fitness journey since January 2018 when she first posted a raw photo of her new-mom physique for a fitness contest, saying she wants to be "in the best shape of my life."CONTINUE READING BELOWwatch now
A year since then, Michelle only needed two photos to illustrate the results perseverance and self-discipline bring.
"The progress is real!!!(Hello quads) Now, this didn’t happen overnight.... 1 year of consistently training from weight loss to gaining muscle mass. It has been a great journey of learning how to properly fuel my body and doing the exercises that works best for me.
"Was I always motivated? Heck NO!!!! But I wanted to feel great and look good in bikinis and crop tops lol ???? On a serious note, I had a GOAL of getting back into my pre baby weight... and once I hit that, I set a new one and that it so build muscle mass around my legs, glutes & back. I knew how I WANTED to feel about my body."
As she went along, it seems Michelle has found a deeper sense of purpose for wanting to become fit, and it's something many moms might find useful.ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW
In her latest post, she added, "I have been using fitness as an outlet to kinda focus on myself specially when my anxiety and depression kicks in. I am here to share that I honestly feel good from the inside out whenever I train."
Studies have shown that physical activity during pregnancy and after chilbirth, even low-intensity exercises, have a positive effect on the mother's well-being, and could possibly ward off symptoms of postpartum depression.

Its been four years since we’ve seen Frankie Lee at the tiny Social off Oxford Street and as many years between his two albums. Tonight, he’s accompanied by just a pedal steel guitarist, but it compliments his brooding songs perfectly. Its an accomplished short opening set showcasing his excellent new album ‘Stillwater’.
Now the main act. On the back of a return to form new album ‘Eraserland’, although he never really lost his form, Showalter is back in these shores with new band in tow and the welcome return of keys featuring higher up in the mix. It adds another dimension to the sound and allows for a lot more light and shade to proceedings as opposed to the riff heavy metal show the last time we saw them. That’s is not to say that the show does not have its heavy rock moments with the band finding their inner ‘Sabbath’ on an extended jam during ‘Rest of It’.
A humble man who wears his heart very much on his sleeve, the show is packed with sweaty emotion as the excellent band takes us though predominantly tracks from the masterpiece that’s ‘Heal’ along with a fair chunk of the new one. Its by turns, raw and brutal and but also surprisingly sensitive. There’s a couple of hair tingling moments with undoubtably stand out moments for me of ‘Goshen’ and ‘Shut in’. That said the new songs more than hold their own and I really see ‘Eraserland’ as a bit of a sequel certainly musically to ‘Heal’.
The intimacy and the lighting of the venue really add to the show and it really has a feel of just a bunch of mates performing great songs to another bunch of mates and it’s difficult to manufacture that.
Much love all round for a great night in what is becoming one of my favourite small venues in London even more so after the recently announced shutting of the iconic Borderline.

Developing and maintaining a healthy digestive system is one of the keys to improving your overall wellness.
Developing and maintaining a healthy digestive system is one of the keys to improving your overall wellness. How we breakdown our food, absorb the nutrients and excrete what we don’t need, can determine how we function on a daily basis! Unfortunately most of us don’t think twice about how we digest until it begins to give us problems such as bloating, reflux, constipation and cramps. But did you know that a host of other niggling problems such as headaches, anxiety, low energy and weight gain may also be caused by an unhealthy gut.
So what can you do to help protect and keep your gut healthy and balanced?
Remember that you are what you eat and absorb and a healthier digestion system means a healthier you
