The X Factor's Stacy Francis Explains Run-In With Whitney Houston
The X Factor contestant Stacy Francis caused quite the stir up when Perez Hilton revealed she use to be a background singer for Whitney Houston. Just last Thursday the two bumped into each other at the Tru Hollywood nightclub. There was a loud screaming match that many witnessed, but Stacy assures everyone it was a big misunderstanding.
The Sun reports that Stacy and Whitney were talking about the legend joining The X Factor USA as a judge. Rumors were circulating all week that Simon Cowell approached Whitney to replace Paula Abdul or Nicole Scherzinger.
“I said, ‘Oh my God, are you going to do it? You’ve got to do it!’,” Stacy shared. “She said, ‘Well, I’m certainly considering it.’ It seemed to me like she was excited about being back on television and being on such a big show.”
According to Stacy, Whitney was looking to revamp her career with the show stating, “God is so good – he’s the God of second chances.”
Though Perez Hilton said that Stacey was a background singer for Whitney, the truth is she performed with her one time on stage in Connecticut after two chance meetings. The diva did not recognize Stacey on the eve of her death.
“It didn’t upset me that she didn’t remember me when we met again last week,” she added. “I was just so excited that my idol was there.”
Whitney Houston was found dead on Saturday at the age of 48 at the Beverly Hilton.

Solar cooker is a solar power heating device that uses the inexhaustible energy accessible from the sun. This abundant power from the sun is employed by this heating device generally for the objective of cooking, heating & sterilizing and so forth. Solar cooking is a kind of outside cooking which is now becoming promoted to lessen usage of other exhaustible fuel which may possibly finish in the coming future.
A solar cooker is a basic heating device made of a wooden box painted black. In order to concentrate the sunlight there is a reflective mirror of polished glass and a metalized film is placed usually to concentrate the light and heat from sun into a tiny section of cooking location producing it more particular so that more quantity of heat can be utilized. Thereby the heating energy of the device increases. The subsequent step primarily focuses on conversion of the light power of the sun into a usable type of heat. The absorption of the light is mainly


Autonomous (self-driving) vehicles are being increasingly tested on highways and city streets. But there is also a need for robots that can navigate through environments like sidewalks, buildings, and hallways. In these situations, the robots must interact and cooperate with pedestrians in a socially acceptable manner. The “rules of the road” no longer apply – there are no lanes or street signs, and pedestrians don’t use turn signals when cutting through crowds. The way people walk even changes from city to city.
Our first work presented a collision avoidance algorithm using Deep RL, where agents learn to avoid collisions with other dynamic agents by training in a simulated environment. This led to more natural behavior, agents reaching their goals faster, and a demonstration of the algorithm with real robots in our lab. This work was awarded as a Finalist for Best Paper in Multi-Robot Systems at ICRA 2017.
A continuation of this work extended the algorithm to learn social norms that pedestrians tend to follow, such as passing on the right side. The contributions included a Socially Aware collision avoidance algorithm and better handling of multi-agent scenarios. The algorithmic improvements enabled a robot to operate among pedestrians in a public environment (Building 32) for periods of over 20 mins without human intervention. This work was awarded Best Student Paper and Finalist for Best Paper in Cognitive Robotics at IROS 2017.
Our most recent paper further improved the handling of large numbers of nearby agents (n > 4) using LSTM and fewer assumptions about other agents’ behaviors. This work was presented at IROS 2018.
The robot is often tested in MIT’s Building 32 during peak traffic at lunchtime. Some applications of this technology could be in delivery of goods, mobility on demand (MOD) systems, and human assistance scenarios.
Software for a recent paper is published at Github.

In the spirit of what to eat more of for good nutrition and great taste registered dietitian nutritionist and academy spokesperson Isabel Maples encourages healthy snacking on fruits, vegetables, whole-grains and low-fat dairy.
“A well-planned snack can provide an energy boost, and satisfy your midday hunger. If you haven’t eaten for three or more hours, a snack can help bring up your blood sugar level for optimal energy,” Maples said.
Snacks should be mini-meals with fewer than 150 calories. Nutrition tips include advice to snack when you’re truly hungry not when you’re bored or stressed. Which brings us to the other crucial component of a healthy lifestyle- exercise. The physical benefits go beyond a slimmer body and a healthy heart. Jennifer McDaniel, board certified sports dietitian said, “Additional advantages include stress relief, better sleep and a more positive mental outlook.”

The Sunwell Grove is the location of the Sunwell and the temple (including Magister's Terrace, and the Sunwell Plateau) surrounding it. It is located on the Isle of Quel'Danas. It is said to lie across a small stretch of ocean, on an island northeast of Silvermoon City (in the former region of Silvermoon).
Millenia before it was a peaceful grove on the island with a small lake in the center. After the Sundering, Dath'Remar Sunstrider traveled to the grove with a vial of water from the Well of Eternity. He poured a few drops to begin the transformation, and the whole bottle to complete it. The Sunwell was born. The powers of the well were immediate, and they used them to build a place of honor around the well. The rest of Dath'Remars followers could not resist using the source of magic.
The Sunwell used to be the arcane node that empowered the high elves' magic and sustained their existence. The death knight Arthas defiled the well, using its energies to revive Kel'Thuzad as a lich. Now the grove is scarred and burned, like most of Quel'Thalas. Rumors say that the red and green dragonflights have sent agents to the Sunwell to see if it can be reenergized. It is apparently guarded by terrible creatures - like shadows hurling death from the trees.
The Grove can be seen in the Sunwell Trilogy Ultimate Edition when Sunwell was first formed, and after. When the sunwell exploded during the Scourge invasion during the Third War, it took a section of the forest with it, though the grove and the Terrace and Temple surrounding it can be seen again after Anveena returns to the well. In the trailer for Patch 2.4, it shows the Sunwell was once in an open forest. As stated in Lands of Conflict the Scourge the grove was left scarred and burned. No grove can be seen near the Sunwell Plateau in World of Warcraft. It it may be related to scale issues, or the Plateau was built over top of the grove. If the latter, the damage to the building is unexplained.

Urvashi Rautela has been in constant discussion for a few days. The actress is making headlines not because of any of her film projects, but because of her association with cricketers. A few days ago Urvashi said about Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant that he had come to his hotel and waited for him for hours. Apart from this, he also called Rishabh as a Chhotu Bhaiya in her Instagram post. Now a video is going viral, in which She is seen apologizing with folded hands in the name of ‘Mr Rp’.
Apologized with folded hands:
Urvashi was spotted by the team of Insta Bollywood during a recent award show. Where she was asked some questions talking the name of “Rp”. on which the actress said no nonsense. Urvashi was asked by the reporter, ‘Do you any message for Rp, you are twisting things but i am asking directly’. So Urvashi said, ‘Sidhi baat no nonsense and therefore i will not do any nonsense’. When the reporter again asked the actress if she had any message for Rp, Urvashi said, ‘All i want to say is…Umm…forgive me. The actress also folded her hands while saying her hands. Watch the video here:
Let us tell you that during an interview in August, the actress had said that ‘Mr. Rp’ waited for about 10 hours in the lobby of her hotel to meet her while the actress was sleeping in the room and made him wait so long. He felt bad for it. After this statement, Rishabh Pant shared a post in his insta story and said, “It is strange how people lie in interviews to get some cheap popularity and headlines. It is sad how some people are so thirsty to be famous. God bless them.’

I received this release today and was a
bit surprised as AT&T has been super-quiet regarding their CallVantage
service since their announcement of of the SBX acquistion. While Vonage has been
investing in customer acquisition with million dollar marketing budgets, AT&T
has really slowed the marketing spending to a trickle. I can’t recall the last
promotion I saw for the service so using the word trickle actually givs the company the benefit of the doubt.
Many in the industry were quietly predicting the demise of the service
altogether. I take this announcement as a sign that AT&T is still committed
to providing VoIP. Of course implementing E911 is easier for AT&T than for
many smaller companies because of their heritage and relationships in the industry.
What is confusing to me is that if the company is going to keep CallVantage
going, why aren’t they marketing more aggressively? A while back it was a two horse race between Vonage and AT&T.
Vonage is the clear winner now and AT&T is so far behind that it will take
immense spending to catch up. The field is wide open for a strong number two VoIP
provider. Who will it be. I wonder.
AT&T Aggressively Rolling Out VoIP E-9-1-1 Service
FOR RELEASE: MONDAY, JULY 11, 2005
BEDMINSTER, N.J. – AT&T announced today that it has begun introducing
Enhanced 9-1-1 service (E-911) to its AT&T CallVantage® Service
users in a phased deployment to be largely completed later this Summer.
E-911 service delivers a caller’s name, telephone number and service address
directly to the console of the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
in the event of an emergency.
“AT&T is proud to be making good on its commitment to deliver an E-911
solution to our AT&T CallVantage subscribers,” said Cathy Martine, AT&T
senior vice president for Internet Telephony. “It has long been AT&T’s
heritage to serve the nation’s public safety needs and the introduction of
E-911 for many of our VoIP users is the culmination of a lot of hard work.”
AT&T began provisioning eligible new AT&T CallVantage Service
subscribers with E-911 capabilities on a phased, market-by-market approach this
past April. That means in the service areas where the company has installed and
tested the infrastructure required to support E-911, eligible new subscribers
are automatically receiving the enhanced service when activating their
Existing AT&T CallVantage Service users in those same markets whose
accounts are eligible will be provisioned with E-911 service automatically by
mid-summer. To date, the company has migrated tens of thousands of lines
successfully across the nation.
When the migration is complete, customers will receive notification from the
company confirming they have been provisioned with E-911.
Exceptions would be those subscribers who have selected “out-of-area” telephone
numbers as their primary VoIP lines. For example, if a
in another part of the state, or in another state, he or she would not qualify
for E-911 service and would remain on AT&T’s 911 Alternative Emergency
Dialing service until the company is prepared to implement an “out-of-area”
AT&T is working with industry members, commercial
partners and public safety officials to rapidly expand these emergency dialing
capabilities in an attempt to provision all AT&T CallVantage subscribers
with E-911 access as quickly as possible.
In a similar manner, customers who travel with their telephone adapters are
cautioned to maintain an alternate means of accessing emergency services. While
AT&T enables customers to update their service address, in such instances
customers may be better served by using a hotel or other local phone to place
an emergency call until real-time updates are made possible.
AT&T CallVantage Service subscribers can determine their account status by
logging on to their personal Web portal and visiting the Account Management
& Settings page where they can review the emergency service type they are
currently subscribed to. All users are urged to proactively check their 911
status online, read their 911 notification letters and not to place test calls
to 911 as this creates an unnecessary burden on the nation’s emergency calling
In the interest of public safety, AT&T reminds customers that VoIP E-911
does not work if there is an outage in electrical power or broadband service.
Introduced in late March 2004, AT&T CallVantage works
with a customer’s broadband connection to provide a complete calling
solution with unlimited local and long-distance domestic calling, including
calls to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, unlimited calling to
discount rates for international calling, and a suite of advanced features for
$29.99 a month.
Under its AT&T CallVantage Local Plan, customers receive unlimited local
calling and access to the entire AT&T CallVantage Service advanced feature
set for $19.99 per month. All local toll and long distance calling and feature
use in the
billed at $0.04 a minute.

Photoshop Portfolio Hannah Sellner
My inspiration: I really like to travel so I wanted to incorporate that with the Empire building since that's a place I want to go and visit. I also really liking deep thinking so I wanted to use something that related to that.
Meaning of the piece: To me this piece means to continue to think at the highest level possible and to look at things from a larger perspective.
The images I used where related to the text I have written across the collage. I added the sun and moon because I shows that someone should have this type of thinking day and night. I bolded and changed the font of the word empire because I wanted that to be a focal point of the text and it also ties in nicely with the giant building. I wanted to use warm colors so that the sky looked a lot more realistic.
My inspiration: I wanted to make this collage around the idea of sadness. I used things that in my opinion have a negative connotation with it. I used a girl with an umbrella because that means it's a gloomy day, a dancer because my sister dances to a song that represents sadness, a plane because I don't like watching my family getting on planes and leaving, and flowers because my great grandmother use to grow many flowers.
Meaning of the piece: This piece means the things in my own life that are sad. There isn't very many elements to this because I try not to focus on the things that make me upset.
I tired to keep a cool color palette since those colors can relate to sadness. I didn't want to add lots of images and kept it very simple. I drew the stars so since I couldn't find a picture I liked with stars.
Inspiration: I was inspired by the Esteē Lauder holiday packaging. I like how clean and simple it looks so I tried to use that to make my CD cover. I decided on this album because I really enjoy Drake and I felt like this idea went best with this album.
Meaning: Since Drake is my favorite artist and music is a huge part of my life I wanted it to be near perfect so I took my time. I also wanted it to reflect a little bit of myself.
I used the pink color because on his songs on the album is a single and the cover of it was this baby pink color so I wanted it to match. I used the 6 God hands because that is one of Drake's logos. The CD its self is suppose to be a modern take on a record.
For this website I wanted it to be a fun feeling for it because that's the word I connect surfing with. I looked a ton of different surfing websites and they were all extremely colorful and almost hard to look at. So I decided to use blues as a base color to match the water and then use pictures with bright boards to make it more colorful. I kept it very simple so that customers could find what they were looking for very easily. I also added social media and ways to contact at the bottom of the page since that is what I had seen from lots of other websites.

Common Food Additives Promote Several Cancers.
According to a recent French study, emulsifiers, which are food additives commonly used by the food industry, increase the risk of cancers, particularly breast and prostate cancers. We propose to review these initial findings, which should encourage consumers to limit their consumption of ultra-processed products more than ever.
What are emulsifiers?
Emulsifiers are among the most widely used food additives in the food industry. They are used to improve the texture, appearance, and shelf life of products.
According to the Open Food Facts database, more than half of the industrial foods we consume contain them.
They can be found in every supermarket aisle, in very common products like prepared meals, industrial pastries and cakes, rusks, breaded cutlets, and desserts.
What is the link between emulsifiers and cancer?
In a study published on February 13, 2024, in the journal PLoS Medicine, French researchers from Inserm revealed that emulsifiers, which are ubiquitous in food, increase the risk of cancer by 15%, particularly breast and prostate cancers.
To reach this conclusion, the researchers analyzed the health data of 92,000 adults who participated in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort study between 2009 and 2021. The average age of the participants is 45 years, and 79% are women. During the period studied, 2,604 cases of cancer were recorded, including 750 breast cancers, 322 prostate cancers, and 207 colorectal cancers.
At this stage, the study is only an observational one, which is not sufficient in itself to establish a causal link. However, it has the merit of sounding the alarm about ultra-processed foods, which represent 30 to 60% of the energy intake of adults in Europe and North America.
Other recent research suggests that emulsifiers could disrupt the gut microbiota and increase the risk of inflammation and thus the occurrence of certain cancers.
What are the food additives under scrutiny?
This recent French study highlights two families of additives that appear to be involved in the occurrence of cancers.
The analyses showed that patients with high levels of mono and diglycerides of fatty acids in their bodies have a 15% higher risk of developing cancer, particularly breast or prostate cancer.
However, mono and diglycerides of fatty acids are widely used emulsifiers. They have been listed in over 14,000 food products in France according to Open Food Facts. This food additive, designated by the code E471, is found in certain margarines, some chocolate bars, some ice creams, and some snack products.
The second family of emulsifiers under scrutiny is carrageenans, also known as E407 and E407a. According to this study, carrageenans increase the risk of developing breast cancer by 32%. Carrageenans are found in nearly 10,000 products such as fresh creams, yogurts, and dessert creams.
How to limit the risks?
This study, which has highlighted a link between food emulsifiers and the occurrence of several cancers, should encourage you to read labels and limit your consumption of industrial foods.
Even if you don't have time to track down E471 and E407 codes, always look for the ingredient list on packaging. The longer the list, the more cautious you should be! The presence of numerous food additives is characteristic of ultra-processed products that are bad for health.
The authors of this study specify that it is not necessary to completely eliminate these additives from your diet, which would be nearly impossible. It is enough to limit their consumption, while waiting for other analyses to supplement this initial observational study and prove the causal link between these additives and certain cancers.
If these initial findings were to be confirmed, they could lead authorities to re-evaluate the regulations regarding additives in the food industry in order to better protect consumers.


According to tvdramas.about.com web site this is the top 10 list of best TV moments in 2006.
“2006 brought us loads of great television moments. From that grand prison escape to saving the cheerleader and the world, find out what we think were the best moments of television in 2006.”
10) Ugly Betty: Ugly is the New Beautiful
For decades, people have enjoyed wonderful television shows with beautiful characters. Then along came Betty, an unattractive woman with an ordinary life who scores an incredible gig working as an executive assistant for a top fashion magazine. Within seconds, millions of viewers fell in love with this sweet and intelligent young woman and soon we all believed that ugly is indeed the new beautiful!
9) House: House Gets Shot
The final episode of season two shocked everyone when House was shot by a former patient's husband and then treated viewers to a very trippy episode. In the end, House asked Cuddy to give him Ketamine — and when season three premiered, we were delighted when the drug worked and House was sans cane. Too bad the drug wore off and the grumpy doc is now facing jail time.
8) Kyle XY Puts ABC Family on the Map
The absolutely adorable and mysterious Kyle XY charmed everyone this past summer. Who is Kyle XY? We think he may be an experiment of some sort, but he could very well be an alien. Whoever he is, this young man has brought viewers in the millions to ABC Family and they couldn't be happier.
7) Grey's Anatomy: Derek and Meredith's Reunion
After watching a season of Derek and Meredith playing that good 'ole cat and mouse game, viewers were treated to a hot and heavy tryst between the two love doctors during the season two finale.

After watching the Halliwell sisters fight demons, vampires, elders, avatars, boyfriends and even death, it was refreshing to see these women 80 years in the future living the lives they had always dreamed of having. The finale may have been a bit corny, but we still loved it all the same!
5) Lost: The Others Live in Houses
The first scene in the season three premiere had millions of viewers gasping when during a cozy book club meeting, Juliet and the Others hear a loud noise, step outside (along with the fake Henry Gale a.k.a.

After being the punch line of many industry jokes, the ailing NBC finally found ratings gold in this epic drama about people with extraordinary abilities. The tagline "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" never gets old, especially now that fans are hooked, line and sinker. Let's just hope the return of Jack Bauer doesn't spell death for the cheerleader.
2) 24: The Day Ends Well Until….
After clearly the most intense day in all five seasons of 24 came to an end, all seemed to be hunky-dory until Jack was captured by the Chinese government and tortured to the point that he begged for death!

The development and operations standing committee approved a zoning bylaw application at its meeting June 17. If council also approves the application at its meeting on June 24, Parkbridge can start remediation work on the site at 70 Huron Street.
Since the location was formerly a landfill, Robert Voigt, director of planning for Parkbridge Lifestyle Communities Inc., said the remediation work is quite technical.
The process will include earth-moving equipment, soil testing, removing some earth from the site, bringing in fill and regrading the property.
“We hope to begin later this summer,” said Voigt.
When Parkbridge initially unveiled plans in May, 2018, for its head office on the site, there was backlash from neighbours who thought the four-storey building was inappropriate so close to residential homes. Residents also raised concerns over traffic, landscaping and buffering, and drainage and stormwater management.
Since then, Parkbridge has continued a dialogue with neighbouring residents and come back with a new plan for a two-storey building (35,000 square feet) and stormwater management for the water on their property, and also to help drain water from nearby properties where there has been an issue historically.
“We are assisting the Municipality with the existing stormwater management issue by collaborating on a solution that will allow them to install a new diversion pipe on our lands,” said Voigt in an email to CollingwoodToday. “We are happy that we can be a facilitator and partner with the Town for this solution. We hope to begin work on that part of the project as soon as possible after we have our final site plan approved for the project.”
The new head office will pull together the current Calgary operations and the Wasaga Beach office for approximately 130 to 150 jobs based in Collingwood, some of which will be filled at opening.
According to a staff report accompanying Parkbridge’s application for a zoning bylaw amendment, there will be 72 coniferous and deciduous trees and more than 700 coniferous and deciduous shrubs and a variety of ornamental grasses and perennials planted on the site to help establish new bird habitat that might have been lost through the cutting down of trees. Voigt also said there would be a privacy fence between the Parkbridge property and neighbouring residential homes.
Regarding traffic concerns, a left turn lane will be added at Huron Street. Parkbridge was initially planning a pedestrian and emergency vehicle access of Simcoe Street, but has since changed the plan to only a pedestrian access from Simcoe Street.
The changes, according to Voigt are a direct result of the comments and concerns expressed by members of the public after the initial plan was made public.
“As part of our extensive community engagement process we conducted for this project, we integrated the ideas and addressed the concerns of the public and town into our design revisions,” said Voigt. “This was important to us because we chose Collingwood as the new Head Office location for its wonderful sense of place and the quality of life it offers. So, we saw it as our obligation to create a building that fits within the neighbourhood, and that our 150 employees can be proud of. And it’s the right thing to do.”

3/10/17 - Vanessa Torres: Don’t Call It a Comeback
With a nearly fifteen year career as a professional skateboarder, Vanessa Torres, is a living legend. She’s paved the way in skating for young men and women all around the world.

While filming the finale on Quit Your Day Job, the first full length all-female skate film in nearly a decade, Vanessa tore her ACL on a smith grind. Tragically, her career, main source of income, and pursuit to 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo took a back seat.
Luckily, we’ve been blessed to have Vanessa here at DEUCE getting stronger and rehabbing her injury. We’d like to formally welcome her to our family. I promise you, she will be a more physical athlete on a skateboard than she ever has.

Gambling is merely the wagering of something of value or cash on an uncertain occasion with an unknown outcome, with the objective of winning either cash or merchandise. For most people, gambling is an important section of their everyday life. For instance, gamblers in Vegas wager on race and horse races, college football game titles, baseball games, etc. In less intense words, gamblers may place wagers on sports events, nationwide political elections, and even the outcomes of lottery drawings.
Among the first major reasons that gambling is becoming so popular is that it can be carried out without leaving home. Although there are many countries where gambling is illegal, almost all gambling games could be played for excitement at online casinos. As long as you have a computer with access to the internet, then you can place a bet on virtually any gambling game imaginable. The principal types of gambling include: live gambling, equipment gambling, card counting, equine racing, baccarat, and movie poker.
Lots of people think that gambling is always based on luck. This is really true in some situations, nevertheless, you that the chances are what determine how very much a gambler will win or lose. Gambling does require that one elements are present: consideration, skill, and luck. The forms of gambling games that are most popular involve: Roulette, Keno, Fixed Bingo, Sic Bo, and Baccarat. Accountable gambling 룰렛 사이트 is necessary in all of these forms of gambling game titles.
The second reason that gambling might be a suitable activity for liable gamblers is that nearly all forms of gambling involve risks. Gambling can take many different forms. Horse racing is a form of gambling which involves both risk and chance. In almost all horse racing games, an effective outcome is not guaranteed. However, there are also many methods which you can use to reduce the risks associated with horse racing game titles.
One of the most significant impacts of gambling may be the effect it has on those who participate in it. Many of the participants in the games suffer from substantial monetary losses. There are many of reasons why a gambler may lose money, but gambling is illegal in lots of jurisdictions due to the negative monetary impacts that it causes. It could lead to bankruptcies for many who take part in it, deprive government earnings from tax revenue, inspire violence and crime, and negatively have an effect on the school system.
A problem that benefits from increased gambling is an increase in substance abuse. Individuals who gamble are more likely to use drugs or alcohol as well as using other illegal things to do. Increased drug and alcohol use reduces college graduation and juvenile delinquency rates, can raise the risk of serious health issues, and can increase someone’s likelihood of becoming incarcerated.
Whenever a gambler participates in high-risk activities, such as activities betting, they put themselves at excellent physical and mental risk. The current presence of increased alcohol and drug use, coupled with poor judgment can lead to serious health consequences, especially when the gambler turns into addicted. Gamblers have to become more aware of the potential destruction that their actions could cause. If you have a loved one that you think may have an addictive personality disorder and are concerned about the impact that gambling may have on them, you should consult with a responsible gambling-related health professional.
Gambling, like a great many other types of addictions, takes a strong will and the capability to change one’s habits. Most gamblers can stop gambling once the time comes. Those that usually do not change their ways end up back at the equipment at every gambling establishment. A responsible gambler learns early on the perils of gambling and develops strategies to limit his or her chances of losing more money than winning. This, and also other resources, is a must to be able to start or keep gambling on your own or with family and friends.

By Andrea Hoffman, Collections Manager
The Wisconsin Veterans Museum is rich with stories of World War II veterans who eagerly and patriotically answered the call to service following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Fewer are the accounts of Wisconsin service members who had already enlisted prior to the decisive moment in history. Because of the scarcity of such collections, the museum is privileged to have recently received the highly comprehensive collection of Rhoda Ann Ziesler, a Manitowoc, Wisconsin native who served in the Army Nurse Corps beginning in 1940. Not only was Captain Ziesler one of the first–if not the very first–nurses from Wisconsin called to active duty, chance had stationed her on the island of Oahu on that fateful day, making her a firsthand witness to the harrowing event and its aftermath.
Ziesler had begun her nursing career at Manitowoc’s Holy Family Hospital. When she later signed up to assist the Red Cross, she was asked to indicate whether or not she’d between willing to serve her country, a question she answered in the affirmative. Ziesler then entered the Army Nurse Corps on December 16, 1940, almost one year to the day before the Pearl Harbor attack. During November of 1941 she was transferred from her training grounds at Camp Custer, Michigan to the 215th General Hospital located at Schofield Barracks in central Oahu, appointed head nurse of a 112 bed ward. During this time she served as the assistant to the chief nurse for the 600 bed hospital as well as acting supervisor of six other nurses.
While Schofield Barracks, a long-established mobile defense post for Pearl Harbor, was not a direct target that December morning, the adjacent Wheeler Army Airfield was a primary point of attack preceding the assault on the harbored fleet. Ziesler later recounted her experience while applying for the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, recalling, “On the morning of the attack, I and several other nurses were on duty and stepped outdoors to see what was happening. The Japanese planes were flying so low. We could see the rising sun [on the planes].”
Ziesler’s collection represents both ends of the spectrum of her service experience, from souvenirs reflecting a carefree tourist to those that document the realities of day- to- day existence while at war. Souvenirs given to the museum include a carved wooden blossom-shaped perfume holder still scented by its original ginger blossom contents, a full length native grass “hula” skirt, several Hawaiian-themed linens and a cloth sugar sack from the nearby Honolulu Plantation Company. Donated objects also include her uniform, watch and wallet, as well a flashlight retaining its original blue cellophane used during the strictly-enforced nighty blackouts on the island. She also returned with the hunting knife her father gave her before leaving, having alternatively hidden it in her girdle or beneath her pillow for her full tenure stating “they’re not taking me alive” in the event of an invasion.
Ziesler remained at Schofield Barracks through the rest of the war, her care given to numerous ailing service members likewise documented in other pieces she brought home, including a Japanese teacup recovered from the ruins of Okinawa given to her by a grateful Marine. The nurse also returned with another souvenir of sorts—a friendship with fellow Wisconsinite soldier Raymond Weller—that turned into a romantic relationship after their return home. In 1948 they were married and went on to have four children, one of whom, Dennis Weller, donated this collection.
Ziesler’s experience is a reminder of the important role ordinary people played in extraordinary times. The completeness of her collection—which further consists of her diary, various ephemera, letters, scrapbooks, and even a recording of a radio interview she did while still stationed in Hawaii—gives the Wisconsin Veterans Museum a unique and significant means to continue to share her story for years to come.

Chinese chicken recipes always come with specific instructions as to how the chicken is to be cut. The shape of the chicken pieces plays a significant role in the taste of the overall dish. Hence it is essential to follow the guidelines carefully. The Chinese have a peculiar way of cutting the chicken pieces for food. To become a pro in this field of butchery, you need to have the right amount of practice and experience. One tip to excel in this task is using the right knife. A cleaver is a preferred utensil to be used for chopping the chicken. You may also use a sharp knife or poultry shears for this purpose too. We will discuss Cuttings Chicken Chinese- Style.
Steps For Cuttings Chicken Chinese- Style
First of all, start by deboning the chicken from the breast and thighs. This makes the cutting process more convenient. The detailed method of cutting the chicken in Chinese style is discussed below:
- Let the chicken lay on your chopping board on its breast by facing upwards. Cut the chicken into equal two halves. As you reach the spine, apply more pressure, or use a cleaver or scissors. The spine being a good part of the chicken is difficult to cut.
- As you separate the chicken into two halves, use one half at a time to chop. Take one half on the chopping board, and by using your fingers, try to find the joint. The joint here refers to the one that is located in between the thigh and drumstick. Cut off the drumstick and arrange it on a plate.
- Refer to the recipe for cutting the chicken for, as that will determine the shape of the pieces. There are chances of the thighs coming apart in case you are cutting a cooked chicken. In such a situation, tear them off by using your fingers and then cut into desired sizes with a knife.
- By using your fingers, try to find out the joint that is present between the breast and the wing. Cut off the wing and arrange them on a plate.
- Now use your fingers again under the side of the breast and tear off the meat from the breast bone. If your recipe instructs not to debone the breast, you may skip this step.
- By using a knife, start slicing the breast into small pieces and organize them on the plate.
- Once you are done with the breast, now it is time to deal with the thigh. Use your fingers to tear off the meat from the thigh bone. It is a messy task to separate the meat from the thigh bone. So, don’t get disheartened if the pieces break unevenly. If you wish, you may skip this step too. In most recipes, the thighs are kept intact. Therefore, you may act according to the need of your dish.
- After having done with one piece of the chicken, you may proceed to the second half. Follow the same steps to cut or tear it into pieces of your choice.
Cutting chicken in Chinese style is an easy task. But you will need some practice to gain expertise over it.

Looking for a Battery Charger for Inc2
Hey guys, i'm looking for a battery charger + extra batteries for my Inc2 and i came across a few ones.
Amazon.com: Hyperion HTC Droid Incredible 2, Google G2, HTC Vision, 2x Battery + Charger (Compatible with HTC Droid Incredible 2, HTC Freestyle, Droid Incredible S, Google G2, Desire Z, HTC Vision, and Desire S): Cell Phones & Accessories
Both seem to have the same charging output and specs. The accessories in the second link don't matter to me as i already have a case/screen protector. Does anyone have any experience with any of these chargers/batteries? From what I've come to understand after reading around about the low (350mA) charging output for these chargers they will just take longer to charge the battery but SHOULD hold the charge just as good as if I charged my OEM battery on the AC wall charger. I've looked at other threads but most seem to be dated and hopefully someone comes across this thread with some help.

Re: Looking for a Battery Charger for Inc2
DO NOT BUY A CHARGER THAT ONLY OUTPUTS 350 MA. You will not be happy. Make sure it outputs at least 1.0. NewEgg has a Rosewill 2.0 Amp 4 USB outlets charger for 9.99. Buy a few cables at $1-2 and you will be happy.

Hey again everyone. I drove my Eldorado about 50 miles today and only stopped one time at an ice cream stand and that was it. I always check the temperature gauge and I glanced down at it as I was turning on to my street and it read 230 degrees. I shut off the motor and drifted it down my street and into my driveway to avoid any possible damage. The car always reaches 224 degrees and then cools down. Why is it getting that hot? It is 89 degrees outside and the air conditioner was running the whole time. I opened the hood and the coolant was bubbling into the reservoir and was almost to the top. Now it has settled down to the hot mark. I am afraid to drive it again without finding the source of the problem. It did the very same thing 2 months ago. I shut the car off where it was at, left it cool for 1/2 and hour and drove it home with no air conditioning on and everything was fine since then. The gaskets, water pump, coolant, and thermostat are all less than 3 months old. After the incident today, I waited 15 minutes and turned the key on and it still read 230 degrees. I started the car and the fans came on right away and cooled it down quickly. Do I have some kind of electrical problem with the fans?

In a eulogy for Hezbollah militant, Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah leveled a serious threat at the Israeli nation he blames for the killing of Mughniyeh. Mughniyeh died in a car bomb attack on Tuesday in Syria. He is thought to be the mastermind behind the attacks that killed hundreds of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s.
In remarks aimed at Israel, Hassan Nasrallah said this of Imad Mughniyeh's killing,
'You have killed Hajj Imad outside the natural battlefield. You have crossed the borders. With this murder, its timing, location and method — Zionists, if you want this kind of open war, let the whole world listen: Let this war be open.''
Hezbollah has long maintained that it only fights Israel within Lebanon and along their common border. These remarks could foreshadow a dangerous departure from that strategy.
If you'd like to see a future post shaking out Hezbollah and the relationship between Israel and Lebanon, let us know.

Any live structure one way or another communicate and transmit information to each other. If we are talking about bacteria, they pass each other a variety of signaling molecules. A group of scientists from Princeton University (USA) in the course of studying the characteristics of this interaction found a virus that could eavesdrop on these signals, thereby selecting the optimum time to attack and even preserve the viability of the entire population of their relatives.
The fact that viruses able to kill bacteria has long been known. Such viruses are called bacteriophages, and, penetrating into the cell, killing it from the inside, reproducing its copies. The problem here is this: if all the bacteria will die — viruses will have nowhere to breed and survive, therefore bacteriophages after “the work” also die after some time. But as it turned out, not all viruses want to put up with this state of Affairs. Dr. Bonnie Bassler and graduate student Justin Silp identified the virus VP882, which behaves quite differently.
“The idea that the virus encounters a molecule that bacteria use to communicate — this is something completely new. We found it in the natural environment, and then rebuilt the virus so that he can choose certain molecules of a certain type of bacteria.” — said the scientists in an interview with the journal Cell.
The photo of E. coli bacteria and virus. One of the viral proteins marked with a red marker. When the virus is in “standby” mode (left), colony of bacteria is growing, and “listening” red protein spreads to every cell. When the virus “knows” that the colony has reached a certain size, the virus goes into “attacking” mode
A new virus has enormous potential as a bacteriophage for the treatment of diseases, as it does not act like a typical virus has a wide range of effects.
“Most viruses can infect only a specific cell type. For example, influenza viruses affect only cells of the respiratory system, HIV infects only certain immune system cells. But the virus VP882 has a “multiple hosts”. We conducted tests with three types of bacteria — Vibrio cholerae, salmonella and E. coli. In all cases, the virus behaved equally effectively.”
