Check the company’s website and see how they manufacture their products and where the fish they use to make their fish oil is caught. If they are caught in the clean, pure pristine waters of New Zealand or Australia then you can rest assured that you are getting pure fish oil.
Cannabidiol benefits There is no doubt that many diseases that are referred to as “age-related” are completely preventable. Our risk of cancer goes up with age, but that may be due to exposure to environmental toxins. A growing number of healthcare professionals believe that constant exposure to small amounts of petrochemicals, dioxins and other toxins is the cause of the increased cancer risk that accompanies aging.
Cannabidiol oil The source of the oil is very important. You need to look for a fish that naturally contains a lot of DHA. Most of the fish in fact are rich in EPA instead. You may not be aware of it, but the Hoki fish found in New Zealand is rich in DHA and is a good source of oil.
medical uses for Cannabidiol Food sources for omega 3 in addition to fish oil includes soybeans and tofu. Nuts and seeds like pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and walnuts are good sources. You can use soybean oil, canola oil and flax seed oil as a cooking oil to receive the benefits. Some eggs are sources of omega 3. If you choose to eat fish, you should include them in your diet at lease twice each week. The best fish sources are herring, sardines, salmon and mackerel – all fatty fish.

The fight broke out over bags. After the plane touched down in Miami, one passenger was not getting his luggage down from the overhead bin fast enough, at least not in the eyes of the man behind him. That man, who is White, started shouting racial slurs at the other passenger, a Black man.
In the front of the plane, flight attendant Cher Taylor heard the commotion just before the angry man punched the one pulling down his bags until he fell on his back into a row of seats. Taylor started running.
“I’ll beat you good, I’ll kill you,” the man was shouting, punctuating the end of each sentence with a racial slur.
Taylor, a Black woman, tried to step between them, unsure of how to intervene. When the White man finally stepped back, leaving the other man on the ground, he and his family walked off the plane. The gate agents couldn’t hold them, and the police did not arrive in time. The Black man and his family stayed behind for the police report. To Taylor, the optics were clear: One man got to walk away.
When she got to the hotel later that day, all Taylor could think about was the word — the slur.
“It triggered something in my soul that will never, ever leave,” she said. She dreamt of the fight that night, but this time she was being forced to watch. She called her therapist. When she got home, she didn’t go outside for five days.
Being a flight attendant was supposed to be her “fun” job, the job she took after a 22-year career in banking that afforded her the opportunity to continue working with customers, but also travel.
In the past year and a half, that job has morphed. When the pandemic began, Taylor took leave from work. By the time she returned in July 2021 after a surgery, she knew she was doing so in a landscape that was alien to her.
This year, there has been a more than five-fold increase in the number of violent incidents on planes. The Federal Aviation Administration, which is chiefly responsible for investigating incidents of unruly passenger behavior, initiated 183 investigations in 2020 — about average, though likely high for a year when travel was significantly interrupted.
As of mid-November 2021, the FAA has initiated 990 investigations.
In all, there have been reports of 5,240 unruly incidents, 72 percent of them related to mask mandates. The FAA has opened 245 enforcement cases among those, and 37 of the most violent events are being investigated by the FBI. Fines have also gone up to as much as $37,000 per incident, while the FAA is also trying to crack down on to-go alcohol sales to help reduce the number of incidents involving inebriated passengers. Several major airlines, including American and Southwest, have suspended in-flight alcohol sales.
But the new enforcement policies are just that — new. And the busy holiday travel season is about to begin, at a time when airlines have been struggling to manage the surge in demand for flights with labor force shortages and fewer flight attendants choosing to take on overtime hours. In October, that kind of breakdown led to about 2,000 flight cancellations at Southwest Airlines, for example.
All of those factors, plus the ongoing, compounding stressors brought on by the pandemic, could lead to additional turbulence among passengers and staff in the skies.
Flight attendants, a workforce that is 80 percent women, are often the last line of defense in many of these incidents. Some of the unruly or violent behavior is directed at them, specifically, and flight attendants have been heavily beaten and even hospitalized this year.
“It’s redefining the environment that we work in and what we are doing every single day. It’s exhausting, it’s taxing and it’s also disorienting about who we are and what we are there to do,” said Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, a union that represents about 50,000 flight attendants. Bad days and incidents happened pre-pandemic, “but it was a one-off, not something that was a regular occurrence and not something that was heavy on your mind and heavy on your family's mind when you're putting on your uniform.”
Last year around this time, the chief concern among flight attendants was getting sick in the sky, or whether they could keep their job after mass furloughs that began last fall. Those fears haven’t gone away — more than 3,500 have contracted the virus and more than 20 have died — but now they are joined by the anxiety of not knowing what kind of passengers they’ll encounter at work.
Brett Snyder, founder of the airline analysis site CrankyFlier.com, said a couple factors may be converging: the psychological impact of the pandemic and how it’s changed the way people behave in group settings; the political polarization around mask policies; and the rise of racially charged incidents, particularly against Black people and Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
In a recent survey by the flight attendants union of 5,000 attendants, 61 percent said disruptive passengers used racist, sexist or homophobic slurs during incidents of violence. The majority of flight attendants — more than 85 percent — had dealt with unruly passengers in the first half of 2021, and nearly 60 percent had experienced at least five incidents this year. One in six flight attendants had been part of a physical attack.
The federal mask mandate is undoubtedly playing a role. Earlier in the pandemic, airlines had individual policies on masking, which created some confusion around passenger expectations. It wasn’t until February that a federal mandate was put in place — for now, it will continue until January 18, 2022 — and the issue has only become more divisive.
“Flight attendants are not supposed to be police,” Snyder said. “But with the mask mandate, they're forced to be police, so it forces confrontation.”
But the masks are only one part of the problem, Nelson cautioned. Part of the reason there is such a focus on masks is because those incidents are also being so closely tracked as a result of the federal mandate. The rest of the unruly passenger incidents are not broken down by type — whether they are racially motivated, or involve sexual harassment or physical violence.
An increase in to-go alcohol sales during the pandemic is also playing a role, she said. Signs posted in airports promoting “destination happy hour” and drinks to-go have led to a rise in inebriated passengers, according to the union’s analysis. Alcohol played a role in about 58 percent of the cases of violence flight attendants responded to.
FAA Administrator Steve Dickson sent a letter to airports in August asking them to work with concessionaires to educate passengers that they can’t board a flight while intoxicated, nor can they carry open alcohol containers with them onto planes.
Critics say the FAA is still not doing enough, pursuing only a small portion of the cases that arise. But the situation is challenging, Nelson said, complicated by the fact that the FAA doesn’t have jurisdiction to criminally prosecute the cases, and it already suffers from lack of funding and small staffing. All of that is compounded by unclear regulations about how cases should be handled — and by whom — when they take place mid-flight.
“The 37 reports that [the FAA] referred to [the Department of Justice] were about prioritizing. They could do a data dump on DOJ and then it would actually take longer to get results,” Nelson said. “We need public criminal prosecution and consequences levied ASAP.”
At a hearing before the House’s Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security this week, some potential solutions emerged.
John Casaretti, the president of Air Marshal Association, suggested that what was needed was an investigative body that can serve as an intermediary between local police and federal investigators.
“I submit that air marshals could actually do this and could be liaison with the airlines and anybody who was assaulted,” Casaretti said. “That would take a lot of the burden off existing investigators or agencies that quite honestly may not respond to checkpoints for these types of low-level incidents or to the gate agents. I can't imagine that an FBI agent would be taking time out to come to an airport just to question an individual. I have not seen it happen unless it's a high-profile thing.”
There have also been more calls for a sort of no-fly list that could be shared among airlines, like the lists airlines already keep about unruly passengers, but different from the one the FBI keeps regarding suspected terrorists. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has argued that a federal list should be considered for violent passengers.
But that would require better enforcement policies, such as more sufficient police resources to get more accurate accounts of incidents, Snyder said.
“It's the accuracy of the whole thing. When you ban someone from flying on any airline, that is a severe penalty that could ruin family relationships, you can't see people, that’s a big deal. So if you're going to do that, you need to make sure that there's a better system for ensuring that this is actually warranted,” he said.
At the congressional hearing, Nelson; Everett Kelley, the national president of the American Federation of Government Employees; and John Samuelsen, the international president of the Transport Workers Union of America, argued that a list could include only people who have gone through a due process case with the FBI and been convicted. At least, Nelson said, airlines should be able to share information about passengers who they have individually investigated and banned.
“If there's not a no-fly list, people are going to continue to get on the planes and are going to continue to assault plane crews and gate agents,” Samuelsen said. “It's an absolute must that this list be established and it be done in a fair way where due process is protected.”
For flight attendants, who have faced violence and, especially, sexual harassment for years, the events of this year could be an opportunity to make self-defense training mandatory — an effort that has been ongoing since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. At the time, training was put in place for flight attendants, but it has become voluntary.
“They don't have the repetitive training that's necessary in order to be able to respond on board when an attack is imminent. We don't usually have warning for [these incidents] — this has to be an immediate reaction and that only comes with repetitive training,” Nelson said during the congressional hearing. “So this must be mandatory, must be in our initial training and in our recurrent training each year.”
And sexual harassment continues to be a major issue for flight attendants, as well. The industry has its roots in a history of misogynistic marketing and advertising that tried to lure men to flights by promising young, attractive women attendants. That legacy has been hard to shake, with passengers still harassing attendants regularly.
Then-President Donald Trump’s administration set up a task force to develop recommendations on how to reduce incidents of in-flight sexual misconduct, but the task force’s recommendations were not released until last year, and so far, no action has been taken on them.
Meanwhile, sexual harassment and sexual assault are still not tracked by the FAA as unique incidents on planes, so it’s difficult to capture the frequency of these events even though flight attendant surveys suggest they are still prevalent.
“When you are not tracking those things, you are sending the message that it’s not important,” Nelson said.
For the profession overall, nearly two years of intense added stress, violence and loss are leading more attendants to reduce their hours. They’re taking on less overtime, Nelson said, something that could affect airline schedules because airlines work under the assumption that flight attendants will pick up additional work.
Taylor, the flight attendant who witnessed the violent racial attack, has already reduced her hours from about 114 to 120 a month to around 80 to 99.
The incidents haven’t stopped, she said — people turning on her if there is a delay in deplaning or if she tells them their bags have to fit under the seat in front of them. She’s on edge every day she gets on a plane. And is worried about it even more as the holidays approach.
“As women in general, we suppress so much,” Taylor said. “I’m so afraid I’m going to explode just from holding everything inside.”

Togetherness is what we lack. There is power in a group, large or small, which is together in purpose. When we know who we are, what we care about, and what we share as common goals, being together is encouraging, electrifying, healing.
But we lack togetherness. We are driven to be individuals, to be skeptical of the leadership of others, to find fault rather than common cause. We exist in isolated clusters, now alone or now with a select few friends or family. We only rarely open ourselves up to a group experience, to being part of a larger something, a collective enthusiasm.
It seems to me that if we knew better who we are, what to be arduous about, how to come together for common joys and loves, we would be better for it. We could possibly capture that quality mentioned repeatedly in Acts: being in one accord.
The things that I suspect bring us together and fill us with intense longing as a bunch of Messianic Jews and philo-Semitic Christians would include:
- Praying and singing the words of the prophets and psalmists via the Siddur and also newer expressions.
- Connecting the whole story from the Patriarchs to the world to come in our learning.
- The physical ceremonies of Jewish tradition which make tangible our beliefs.
- The lifecycle events of people in our communities and the Jewish traditions to mark them.
- The rhythm of the calendar and sanctifying time with observance.
- The extraordinary life and liberating message of Yeshua, understood more deeply through holistic reading of the Bible.
- The literal belief in the corporeal and definite age to come and all its wonders.
These are the things that brought us together. These are the things that satisfy. These are the reasons some left old denominations in Christianity and Judaism. No tradition which omits these things can compel us.
So when we come together and focus on these things in our communal worship, we can leave behind the cynicism, the rugged individualism, the discord that fragments our togetherness. When we come together focused on these things, we can be, as it was in Acts, in one accord.

However, some of it can be seen in regions around Europe or maybe North America. They are the kind of vegetables that lives on very fertile soil; they grow fast, especially if there’s enough sunlight.

2. Belgian endives
Next, we have Belgian endives. They usually have smooth, pale-colored leaves which have a head with a shape of a torpedo. A Belgian farmer found Belgian endives in 1830.
It is said that he discovered that chicory roots could eventually grow and produce pale-colored leafy tips when they are exposed to moisture and darkness.
On the contrary, endives are cultivated mainly in fields, not like Belgian endives. This kind of leafy vegetable can also produce flowers with a tint of light blue, and it is located at the top of its stem where flowers usually grow.

Hello, everyone. I’m going to be blogging here on Fancast every day after each episode of ‘Dancing with the Stars‘, so come here and get the scoop – and vote for me and my wonderful partner, Aaron Carter. (Call 1-800-Vote4-01) OK, now welcome to my life.
It’s 8:30 on the morning after the first show of the new season of Dancing with the Stars. I’m at home right now. We have an early call today, so I’m getting ready to go to the studio. My voice is a little hoarse right now. It’s because I haven’t had very much sleep, if any, for what seems like weeks.
Between rehearsing for last Sunday night’s Emmy Awards and last night’s premiere of Dancing, I’m totally exhausted. I’m running on adrenaline, I think. My mom even called me the other day and said, “Baby, you need to find time to rest.” But I was like, “Ma, I love this. I love that it’s so busy. I’ll rest some other time.”
And I will. Right now it’s go-go-go and though I don’t have time for anything but rehearsals and shows, I wouldn’t change one thing. This is what I live for.
I hope you liked Aaron as much as I had fun dancing with him. He’s a great partner. I can do so much with him – and really push him. Aaron is very good at LTK – listening to Karina. Ha-ha! We’ve only had one miscommunication thus far. It was last Saturday, and he was nervous because we weren’t going to rehearse on Sunday because of the Emmys. I had to tell him to calm down.
And he did. Aaron said, “Just tell me what to do.” He’s competitive. One day before rehearsal, he said, “I want to become a professional ballroom dancer.” I thought it was cute, and I laughed. But he was serious. He said, “You know how Jamie Foxx transformed himself into Ray Charles for the movie?” I said yes. He said, “I want to transform myself like that into a professional dancer.”
I understood. I gave him things to think about. I told him to get into the professional dancer’s mindset. You wake up and stretch, think about what to eat, what to wear, what you’re doing to do in rehearsals…and make everything point to getting ready for your performance. He was like, “OK.” He’s young and eager – and I love him.
Everyone on the show takes this very seriously. I think Aaron got a taste of it last night. Most importantly, he got a taste of what it’s like to do well and see all the hard work pay off?
It was so funny and nerve-wracking to be first up. I tried to keep myself composed and not let Aaron see that I was about to have a mild cardiac arrest. Then right before we went on, I looked at him and said, “Angel.” That’s my code for “smile, stand up straight and open your shoulders as if you had angel wings.”
I thought he did great last night, considering the fact he’d never done this. During the Cha Cha Cha he didn’t do a couple of steps that I was expecting, and I wasn’t sure why. Then afterward, he said, “Knee pads.” It turned out he forgot to put them on.
I’m happy with our performances. It was a strong night. Obviously Donnie Osmond did well and with his and Marie’s fan base all of us are expecting him to be in the finals. He knows how to dance and how to work the cameras.
I was shocked to see how well Chuck did. I’m a big fighting fan. He’s a sweetheart and adorable. He really showed a vulnerable side. Louie Zito was adorable, Mark Dacasco was strong, and so was Michael Irvin. He wore his personality right on his sleeve and went for it – and I think people love that kind of performance.
As for the strongest teams, we haven’t seen the women. But definitely Donnie and Kym. I also heard Mya is great, Maks and Debi obviously are good – I’d be surprised if they don’t get a really good score – and I also heard that Kelly Osbourne is doing well. I’m eager to see everyone.
Before I go, I’ll also talk briefly about the Emmys. It was amazing. I loved it. Just the fact that Maks and I got our own stage was amazing. I think the number turned out to be great. We rehearsed like crazy in between Dancing rehearsals; Maks and I were both working 20 hour days.
I know what people were reporting – that we didn’t want to dance together because of the breakup and then yesterday another guy reported that we had a fight backstage at the Emmys. Neither is true.
First, the idea that we weren’t going to dance at the Emmys because of our breakup was total nonsense. I mean how often do you get a chance to dance at the Emmys?
As for a fight, Maks and I didn’t have a fight. Please. We were both so nervous and focused on making the dance perfect. We didn’t have time to do anything other than think about the dance. Actually, both of us were very honored to be able to dance together – and that’s the truth.
I wish I could meet some of these “sources” who seem to know everything. I would like them to tell me the winning lottery numbers. Surely they have them – they know everything else.
Come back tomorrow for more. I’m going to try to take some video for you and make this blog fun. I’m also going to give you my personal phone number so you can call me and talk. Aaron did this (his number is 310 746 8383), and he really answers.
Let me know if you have any questions. And remember to call in and vote for Aaron and me. The number is 1-800 – VOTE4-01

Insolvency continues to hit UK retail sector
Retail insolvency rates have surged by 7% year on year, although the number of company voluntary agreements has more than halved in five years, new data shows.
Data from RPC shows the number of retail insolvencies has increased from 999 in 2015‐2016 to 1071 in the last financial year.
Greater competition from online vendors has hit high street sales while operating costs have increased substantially, piling the pressure on to retailers.
A number of struggling businesses have also seen credit insurance withdrawn, reducing the options for those on the verge of insolvency.
March saw a 6% decrease in footfall, marking the biggest year on year decline since 2010, while the UK’s 20 main online sellers saw sales jump by 23%.
Despite the struggles of high street stores, the number of retail company voluntary arrangements (CVAs) has declined from 33 to 15 in the past five years.
Numerous major businesses have entered into CVAs, or are reportedly in the process of negotiating one, including Carpetright, Mothercare and New Look.
Retailers can also struggle to shift any excess office or floor space as a result of their lease agreements, which can place a further financial burden on them.
For those in difficulty it is important to assess the situation at hand and to seek appropriate advice on the best way forward.
Should financial issues persist, or a business not be structurally sound, then a CVA or alternative measure could simply be delaying liquidation.
Under a CVA, a company is able to freeze all of its unsecured debts while developing a repayment schedule and new terms.
This then enables debts to be repaid over time, as set out by the CVA and using profits from continued trading.

A royal wedding is approaching–Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle will be married on May 19, 2018.
According to Town & Country, the couple met on a blind date in July 2016. They dated for about four to six months before news of their relationship was leaked to the public. Meghan loved getting to know Harry privately first, while he reportedly knew she was the one from the first time they met. His friends agree, saying they haven’t seen him this happy in a long time.
On November 27, Prince Charles of Wales (Harry’s father) announced Harry and Meghan’s engagement.
Although the extended royal family will be seen at the wedding, rumors have been spreading about whether Markle’s family will attend. An article from People shares that Meghan’s mother will be there and is staying in a hotel with Meghan the night before. The bride’s two half siblings will not be there, as they have never had a close relationship. The most drama surrounds her father, Tom Markle. In recent days, sources have revealed that he staged a photo shoot with the paparazzi. Markle does not want to embarrass his daughter, so he announced that he will not attend the wedding.
The 12:00 noon ceremony will be held at St. George’s Chapel, according to Us Magazine. Six hundred people were invited to the ceremony and to the first reception, but only 200 close family members and friends were invited to the second reception afterwards. A Royal UK source reports that before the receptions, the newlyweds will ride around Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage so that the public will get a chance to celebrate.
A Lifetime TV Movie titled Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance aired on Sunday, May 13. The movie follows the relationship buildup of the two (played by Murray Fraser and Parisa Fitz-Henly), from the moment they met until just before the wedding.

Kentucky Health News
Health officials from Kentucky counties with some of the state’s highest and lowest Covid-19 death rates both cited vaccination rates as a contributor, but the health official in the county with one of the highest death rates said the relatively low health status of the population must also be considered.
A breakdown of Covid-19 deaths per 1,000 people in each county found that the highest county death rate is five times the lowest one. To explore that discrepancy, Kentucky Health News talked with a health official in a county with one of the highest rates, and one in a county with one of the lowest rates.
In Woodford County, which had the fourth lowest rate, 2.09 Covid-related deaths per 1,000 residents, Public Health Director Cassie Prather said she attributed the low rate to its high Covid-19 vaccination rates, especially among residents 65 and older, who are among the most vulnerable.
“I would love to see a map overlay of the death rates and the vaccine rates,” she said. Later adding, “I think the correlation is there.”
Woodford County has had one of the highest vaccination rates in the state throughout the pandemic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Data Tracker, 78.3% of Woodford County’s population has received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Among residents 65 and older, 93.3% are fully vaccinated; 73.3% of those who are fully vaccinated have received one booster shot; and 54.6% of those who have had the first booster have also received the second.
Prather said getting people in Woodford County vaccinated has been a community effort that includes weekly clinics that are still running, community members volunteering to drive people to the clinics, a partnership with the emergency medical service to do home visits, and a mobile clinic that goes out twice a week to farms and people they normally wouldn’t see at the health department.
She added that city and county governments have worked diligently to keep their citizens informed, and that she and Judge-Executive James Kay still do weekly Covid-19 updates on the county government’s Facebook page. “We knew how important communication would be . . . because we wanted people to be aware and to be able to make the best decisions for their family and friends,” she said.
Kay, who as judge-executive chairs the county health board, said his pandemic role has been to unite the community in an effort to fight the virus, while allowing the health department to lead the response.
“We did a full county and community response,” Kay said. “And we brought the cities and the county and the schools together to all be on the same page every day for nearly two years.”
Expanding on the importance of giving the public direct, real-time information to combat misinformation, he said, “We created a level of trust. When we told them information; they knew it was true.”
Adjoining Scott County’s Covid-19 death rate was just .007 per 1,000 higher than Woodford’s. Crystal Miller, public health director of the regional health department that serves the county, told Mike Scogin of the Georgetown News-Graphic that the community’s response to the pandemic was critical to keeping Covid-19 under control.
“It was all hands on deck,” Miller told Scogin. “All our community partners bought in and everyone contributed. From elected leaders to businesses and industries, the hospital, schools and the newspaper, everyone wanted to do the right thing. A big portion was community support. The calls we received at the health department were, ‘How can we keep people safe?’”
Miller also said Scott County has one of the state’s highest vaccination, which saved lives. The CDC says 65.2% of the county’s population has received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
“We did not get a lot of pushback,” Miller said. “I know that was not the case in other communities, where people refused to even wear masks.”
Metcalfe County, in south-central Kentucky, had the sixth highest Covid-19 death rate, 7.348 per 1,000 residents. It is served by the Barren River District Health Department, where Public Health Director Matt Jones said he thinks the rate stems from multiple factors.
Jones cited the county’s poor health outcomes, gauged by life expectancy and measures of quality of life; and health factors, such as access to physicians, tobacco use, children living in poverty, and other environmental factors that contribute to or detract from the local population’s health.
Among the seven counties with the highest Covid-19 death rates, all ranked 69th or lower for health outcomes, and four ranked in the bottom 11. All seven ranked 64th or lower in health factors, with three in the bottom six.
Jones also pointed to the discrepancies in health-care access between rural and urban counties as a possible reason for Metcalfe County’s higher Covid-19 death rate.
He noted that Warren County, which has a population of nearly 133,000, and Metcalfe, with around 10,000, have very similar vaccination rates, 45.7% and 45.3%, respectively, with at least one dose, but Warren’s death rate was less than half Metcalfe’s, 3.02 deaths per 1,000 residents.
Warren, with its fast-growing county seat of Bowling Green, has many more health resources than Metcalfe County, including two hospitals, while Metcalfe County has no hospital and a shortage medical providers, Jones noted.
Asked about the county’s lower vaccination rates, he said, “I think vaccinations did play a role, especially as it relates to moderate and severe cases. But I do think those health outcomes and the other indices played a major role in the overall outcomes of Covid.”
Among Metcalfe County seniors, 62.7% are fully vaccinated; 67.8% of those have received one booster shot; and 36% of that group have taken the second shot, according to the CDC.
Jones said the eight counties in his health district have taken a multifaceted approach to the pandemic that has evolved as their needs have evolved. Beyond providing testing and Covid-19 vaccination clinics, the local departments participated in work groups with community leaders to keep them informed and used social media, local newspapers and radio stations to keep the public informed.

The collection found in a self-storage unit rented by Dr. George Tyndall appeared to include homemade pornography — some of it decades old and featuring Tyndall with women apparently unconnected to the university — but also photos of unclothed women in what appeared to be a medical exam room, police Capt. The cache was found shortly after the Los Angeles Police Department launched an investigation into Tyndall last spring, the Times reported.

Updated September 02, Explicit photos of dozens of female celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence have surfaced on the internet, triggering many to question the security of online storage facilities. Images purporting to be of female actresses, models and athletes were posted on image-sharing forum 4chan, although the authenticity of many could not be confirmed. Lawrence, the Oscar-winning star of the cult movie The Hunger Games, was among those targeted by the hacker.

In all, women have filed police reports against Tyndall, making the case the largest sex crimes investigation in LAPD history, the Los Angeles Times reported. According to the Times, which first reported the findings, detectives had Tyndall under surveillance and saw him visit the storage unit, spending considerable time inside.
Nude pictures of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence and other Hollywood celebrities surfaced online yesterday in what is being called the biggest celebrity hacking incident in Internet history. An anonymous hacker claimed to have gained access to the private and intimate photographs through the celebrities' iCloud accounts and posted them on 4chan, an image forum where people can share pictures anonymously, reported various media. Some 4chan users later claimed to have access to more explicit content, including a video of Lawrence, which they were willing to upload in exchange for payments via PayPal or Bitcoin, reported The Independent.

Swing-district Democrats gamble that voters will follow them on impeachment
Trump call to Ukrainian president moved moderate members, but voters not there yet, one poll found
Several House members in crucial swing districts rolled the dice this week by supporting an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, betting voters will eventually agree that such an inquiry is the best path forward.
The support from members whose victories helped flip the House from red to blue last year may have spurred Speaker Nancy Pelosi to apply the impeachment description Tuesday to ongoing investigations.
Yet Democratic strategists and lawmakers admit they do not yet know whether reports about Trump’s July conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy — in which he allegedly asked Ukraine to investigate corruption claims that could damage former Vice President Joe Biden after holding up congressionally approved military aid to the country — have convinced more voters to favor impeachment.
“There’s people who call my office pushing for impeachment. There’s people who call my office saying, ‘Please don’t drag us into this,’” Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin told reporters Tuesday, explaining her decision to co-author a Washington Post op-ed with six other vulnerable freshman Democrats endorsing “impeachment hearings.”
“It wasn’t that I read the tea leaves in my district, it’s that the specter of this particular set of incidents crossed the Rubicon for me on a national security issue, on a constitutional issue,“ Slotkin said.
Virginia Rep. Elaine Luria, another op-ed co-author, said that of the 30 calls her offices had received on the issue since publication, 23 were positive.
So far this week, Slotkin and Luria have been joined in their new positions by moderate Democratic freshmen Dean Phillips of Minnesota, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, Haley Stevens of Michigan, Gil Cisneros of California, Jason Crow of Colorado, and Antonio Delgado of New York, among others.
Six of them — Slotkin, Luria, Spanberger, Sherrill, Stevens and Delgado — represent districts Trump won in 2016.
The Democrats largely avoided impeachment chatter on the campaign trail in 2018, and now have to walk their constituents through the nuances of the process and explain that endorsing an inquiry is not tantamount to a vote to actually impeach him.
“What we haven’t seen yet is Democrat attempts to sell impeachment to the general public. It’s very much been a debate inside the party,” said Ian Russell, a former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee political director. “Swing-district members will have to try to bring their voters along with them because once this goes, it becomes an all-consuming issue.”
Swing-district Democrats must also account for why their stance has evolved since a whistleblower complaint filed with the Director of National Intelligence inspector general came to light last week.
Many of those Democrats resisted calls earlier this year for an impeachment inquiry after former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III released his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Democrats have argued that Trump has not learned his lesson from 2016 improprieties and has solicited help from a foreign country for a future election.
Trump’s alleged request of Zelenskiy was “prospective, not retrospective,” Slotkin said Tuesday.
“It’s talking about 2020 and the potential use of dirt from a foreigner in 2020. And those things just made it, for me, beyond the pale,” she said.
In Virginia, both Spanberger and Luria have been caught in the middle between groups who voted for them but have different views on impeachment. There’s a liberal base urging them to do it, while a bloc of independent, Republican-leaning voters oppose it.
“Voters in my district sent me here to do what was right. I spent 20 years in the Navy making hard decisions, commanded a combat unit. I’m paid to be a member of Congress and make hard decisions,” said Luria, whose district backed Trump by 3 points in 2016.
In New Jersey, where Sherrill was one of four Democrats whose wins last year left the state with just one Republican in its 12-member House delegation, Monmouth University polling director Patrick Murray said a new state survey set to be released Wednesday, done before news broke about Trump’s call with Ukraine, showed independent voters do not favor impeachment.
“Furthermore, there’s a net negative impact on how [independents] would view their own member of Congress if they voted in favor of impeachment,” Murray said.
“Independent opposition to impeachment doesn’t necessarily mean that they support Trump or approve of him. But they see an election around the corner where Trump can be ousted, and they sent these members to Congress to work on bread-and-butter issues, not to impeach Trump,” Murray said.
Fundraising on both sides
In a sign both parties see a political upside, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday used Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s endorsement of an impeachment inquiry to raise money for 2020.
GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who could face a competitive reelection next year, sent a fundraising email deriding Democrats for continuing a “witch hunt” against the president “that has failed time and time again.”
Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates the race for Cornyn’s seat Likely Republican.
Democrats such as Sherrill also sent out a fundraising e-blast to supporters Tuesday. Hers explained her endorsement of impeachment hearings and stressing that she has “not come to this conclusion lightly.”
Not all Democrats …
Despite the flurry of Democratic moderates calling for an impeachment process to commence this week, some have held out.
Reps. Max Rose and Anthony Brindisi of New York and Jared Golden of Maine are three such Democratic freshman — all from Trump districts — who have continued to resist impeachment proceedings.
Minnesota Rep. Colin Peterson, a top GOP target in a district Trump carried by more than 30 points in 2016, continued to express doubt that impeaching the president without support from his GOP colleagues was a winning strategy for Democrats.
“If anyone thinks a partisan impeachment process would constrain President Trump, they are fooling themselves,” said Peterson, now the only Democrat in the Minnesota delegation who does not support an impeachment inquiry.
Bridget Bowman, Simone Pathé, Katherine Tully-McManus and Andrew Clevenger contributed to this report.

Have you ever wondered what is the difference in moderate Muslims and radical Muslims? When the mainstream media talks about Muslims, they throw up this wall between the “minuscule few radicals outside the U.S. borders and the many, many wonderful men and women whose proud traditions and wonderful “religion of peace” set them apart from the rest of us.” Sadly, many Americans today still fall for the media’s lies and twisting of the truth.
I got curious about it, so I started investigating to see the difference for myself in a moderate and radical Muslim. What I found was enough to scare anyone with enough sense to turn off the disinformation and think for themselves.
There has been an underhanded plot, put in place by the Muslim Brotherhood, to take over the world through any means necessary since 1982 This plan introduced the world to the “moderate Muslim.” In 1982, the Muslim Brotherhood wrote a document called, “The Project” laying out a plan for world conquest. It called for a terrorist “secret apparatus” that would eventually create Hamas in December 1987 and unveil the Hamas charter in August 1988. This charter was a 14-page plan written in Arabic, dated December 1, 1982, outlining a 12-point strategy to “establish an Islamic government on earth.”
Through deception, lies, fraud, and murder the Muslim Brotherhood has carefully implemented this plan into the fabric of every nation in the West. Consequently, there isn’t a free nation on earth who is not fighting jihad. The Muslim Brotherhood has entrenched itself in America to the point that they have influenced and written our laws, in the process of bringing about what they call “political jihad.” There are very few offices at the Federal level that were not filled with Muslims during Obama’s reign. Some are foreign nationals, and others are Americans who have betrayed us by swearing and giving their loyalty to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Americans are being threatened by half-baked laws and threats against us if we don’t fall into line and keep our mouths shut about what is going on around us. San Bernardino is an example of this takeover. Neighbors were so afraid of being accused of profiling or racism that they did nothing, even when they saw suspicious activity next door. The Justice Department threatened Americans for speaking out against Islam while they crushed every instance of Christianity.
I was recently sitting at a gas station with some friends in Livingston. While we were waiting, I noticed a man standing outside his car while his wife sat inside. They were clearly both Muslims. She was dressed in her Muslim scarf, and he was outside, facing east, praying. He stood and prayed and then he would get down in the position we see so much of in the streets of big cities. After a few minutes of this he climbed in his car a drove away. This shouldn’t be unusual, except that this is becoming the new normal in the U.S., and sadly, Christians are still being shut down at the same time.
The leader and founder of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) Omar M. Ahmad said:
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant,” he said. “The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth,”
I wrote an article a while back on sharia law and its stealth jihad on America.
Large Arab communities in the US are forcing American citizens to live under Sharia Law. Dearborn, MI is gone, and there is a move to take over areas of Tennessee and make its citizens live under this despicable anti-American law. Sharia law is “a slow, deliberate, and methodical advance of Islamic law (sharia) in non-Muslim countries.” Another frequently used term is ‘stealth jihad’, or Islamic religious law, seen as deriving from the Koran, Sunnah and hadith, ijmaʿ, qiyas, and from the teachings and example of Mohammed.
Europe is nearly gone, and we are losing America day by day, piece by piece. While we focus on the scandals coming out of Washington, this Muslim Brotherhood scheme is destroying the very fabric of our culture, replacing it with a barbaric, inhuman government and religious system which is fighting every way imaginable for world dominance.
We can listen to the talking heads, or we can wake up and recognize that America isn’t America anymore. Silence only emboldens these people. It’s time to talk to your neighbor about what’s really important, and it’s not climate change or children being separated from their parents at the border.

Mountain and sea
Get to know the most amazing hidden gems of the area
Benicasim is one of the most special touristic destinations of the Valencian region, a place with charm where, aside from the sun and beaches, you can discover the wonders of the sea, mountains, music and culture.
Benicasim is a town bathed by the water of the Mediterranen sea and enjoys all the benefits of the natural area of the Palms Desert. Even though it has a population of 18,000 people, the town reaches more than 60,000 during the summer period.
The enviable climate of Benicasim make its beaches one of the main touristic attractions. Our area has the sum of more than 6 kilometres of fine, sandy beaches. They stretch for miles and are well cared for, and provide the perfect place for holiday-makers to enjoy many sports.
Almadraba: The name of this beach refers to the ancient fishing craft. It’s a fine and sandy beach, bordered by a traditional Mediterranean promenade, ideal for walking and enjoying the sea in peace. Visitors can also enjoy one of the ‘Libraries by the Sea’ situated on the promenade.
Torreón: The majestic tower that gives its name to this beach can be found here. It’s a fine and sandy beach with a slight slope where many cultural and sporting activities are held.
Els Terrers: This is a calm water beach of more than a kilometre and a half long. It’s characterised by the wooden walkway that runs along it and that make it ideal for long walks. In addition, it’s a great choice to practice many aquatic sports.
Heliópolis: This beach, of about 3 km long, it’s one of the longest beaches of Castellon. You can enjoy a relaxed reading by the seaside in the ‘Library by the Sea’, or take a ride on the cycle path that connects Benicasim with the city of Castellón.
Voramar: The beach of Voramar distinguishes itself by its fine sand and shallow gradient. A precious place where you can contemplate the spectacular villas and enjoy water sports in its calm waters.
Gastronomy and leisure
Enjoy the wide range of Mediterranean leisure and gastronomy
The gastronomy of Benicasim is made famous by a range of products, all components of the Mediterranean diet.
Fish and shellfish, roasts, tasty stews, paellas and other rice dishes are part of the diverse cuisine that Benicasim is so very proud of. But it not only offers local cuisine, but a multitude of culinary options for every taste throughout the year: from select restaurants to the authentic taverns, tapas bars, burger bars, sandwich bars, Chinese or Italian restaurants, etc.
Points of interest
Green way (Vía Verde)
This green way is a coastal path between Benicasim and Oropesa that you can walk, run or cycle on. Along this old railway track you are surrounded by nature, the Mediterranean Sea, stunning cliffs, viewpoints, old stone ruins and hidden coves; all part of the history of Benicasim.
Desert de les Palmes Natural Park
The Desert de les Palmes is the Natural Park belonging to 5 municipalities in the province of Castellón, including Benicàssim, a privileged town located between the mountains of this area and the marvellous beaches that cradle the Mediterranean Sea.
In this extensive area you can enjoy the extensive Mediterranean vegetation and the views of Benicàssim from the top of the mountain, while breathing fresh air with a mixture of typical aromas such as rosemary, thyme, pine trees or the wonderful orange blossom, the orange blossom, which gives its name to our coast.
The Desierto de las Palmas was declared a Natural Site in 1989 and in its 3200 hectares we find 9 hiking routes of different levels of difficulty and with varied extensions, which you can walk with your family.
Among its highest peaks are the Mola del Morico at 694 metres and the Bartolo, at 729 metres.
The villas of Benicasim
The villas of Benicasim are known as the Valencian Biarritz, a 20th century set of villas characterized by its architectural richness and the beauty of its gardens. The characters of the original residents styled the villas of Benicasim, which can be divided into three areas: Hell’s Arean, due to the noisy festivities that took place in this villa; Heavenly Court, known for the peace of this area; and Limbo, which have garden areas that separate them.
This convent originally belonged to the ancient Carmelite Monks Monastery, built in the 17th An earthquake destroyed it in the next century, but a visit is essential due to its artistic heritage.
Saint Vincent Tower
The province of Castellon had eighteen towers along the coast that served as a defence against the corsair attacks. Saint Vincent Tower, surrounded by a spectacular garden by the sea which dates from the 16th century, is one of the best-preserved of the region.
The Columbretes Islands are one of the most unique natural spaces of the Valencian Region. It is composed of four groups of volcanic islands with great biological and ecological variety. The beauty of its biological diversity makes it one of the favourite destinations of the diving buffs.

Jerry Millet got the unexpected ride of his life while he was driving down a Louisiana highway and his truck was picked up by the swirling winds of a tornado.
Surveillance video from a nearby gas station captured the horror on tape Monday afternoon as Millet was making deliveries in his Ford pickup truck in Gonzales, La.
"I didn't know where I was or how high in the air I was, but I kept pushing on the brakes in that truck, like that was going to do something for me," Millet told WAFB-TV.
The video shows Millet's truck being lifted into the air like a toy. His truck twirled several times while airborne. Witnesses say the truck was as high as the telephone pole he flew past.
"The truck just started bouncing," Millet said. "I thought I was dead."
Millet's truck remained in the air for mere seconds before it literally fell from the sky and crashed 20 feet away onto a truck parked nearby.
A Good Samaritan driving in the opposite direction saw Millet's truck take flight and immediately stopped her vehicle to help him.
"I hear my daughter's voice, my baby girl," Millet said. "I look up, here she come a walking."
Millet's daughter, Lacey, just happened to be in the right place at the right time to assist her father.
"He was like, 'How did you get here? How did you know?' And I said, 'I seen the whole thing happened,'" Lacey Millet said.
The only causality was Jerry Millet's delivery truck. He suffered minor injuries and was released from the hospital on the same day.
He is now healing at home, thankful to be alive.

text: While most member countries of the International Egg Commission (IEC) took part in celebrating World Egg Day on October 11, Colombia took their celebration to the next level by breaking a world record for the world’s largest scrambled eggs. The National Federation of Poultry Farmers in Colombia (FENAVI) undertook this challenge using 59 758 eggs in the shell, totalling 3 112 kilograms, 646 kilograms more than the previous record holder. FENAVI collaborated with other local organisations and began preparations more than three months in advance, the most significant of which was the manufacturing of the pan that was specifically designed for the record attempt, spanning 12 metres long, 4 metres wide, 70 centimetres high and 20 centimetres deep. The resulting dish was offered free of charge to 15 000 Colombians at two locations in the city, and the eggshells were ground to make fertiliser which will be used for planting trees in the rural area of Soacha, where the record attempt took place. In excess of 150 people (apprentices, instructors and chefs) were required to prepare the world’s largest scrambled eggs. Undoubtedly the three most important ingredients of the day were the egg, teamwork and the time that had been spent in preparation. These all came together to highlight the importance of eggs in a delicious and nutritious diet. For more information about the record attempt visit the Guinness World Records site.


There's nothing like the ups and downs of college baseball. The Rebels outscored LSU(#13 RPI) in Baton Rouge while losing two of three nearly sweeping one of the best teams in the nation. At the same time, they come from behind to sneak by Jackson State(#253 RPI) in Oxford and Memphis(#127 RPI) at Autozone Park this week.
The Rebels have strung together three wins in a row this week and have the Wildcats of Kentucky(#27 RPI, 18-9, 4-5 SEC) rolling into town for this weekend. The weekend rotation has formed into a strength in the past weekend after being easily the greatest weakness in the first few weekends of college baseball.
Ole Miss sits at #40 in the RPI standings, according to Boyd's World, collecting a record of 19-8 with a 5-4 conference record.
What lies ahead is a three game series between two SEC teams separated by the smallest of margins.
Friday pitching: Drew Pomeranz(us) LHP vs. Alex Meyer(them) RHP
Pom Pom Pom Pom Pom-eranz gets wins for the Rebels when he takes the mound. He's got a 3.55 ERA while striking out 24 in 25 innings. The Friday starter should set the tone for the rest of the weekend, and Pomeranz has fulfilled that role thus far. Alex Meyer is a freshman starting on a Friday, so I'd like to see what kind of stuff he's got if he's the one slingin' pills for the 'Cats. Meyer is just about taller than everyone on the Ole Miss basketball team, save Kevin "Please transfer" Cantinol.
Saturday pitching: Philip Irwin(us) RHP vs. Chris Rusin(them) LHP
Irwin wasn't able to snag the win last week against LSU, but I'm sticking with him because of a 4-1 record. He seems to be out to prove that he has what it takes to pitch on the next level(I just mean the minors, for now). He leads the pitching staff in innings, so I'm beginning to wonder if his arm might be getting a little wear after some longer outings. Rusin looks to be the ace of the Kentucky weekend rotation. He leads the staff in K's, IP, W's and ERA. He's also got two complete games, so this one could be a John Smoltz- Jack Morris 1991 Game 7 type of match-up. Obviously, not even close to as big of a game.
Sunday pitching: Scott Bittle(us) RHP vs. James Paxton(them) LHP
How long can Bittle go in a game? He went seven innings last weekend and told Bianco he was just tired when he came out of the game. Bittle pitched one of the best starts of the entire season for the Rebels and a repeat performance would elevate his status to possibly rearranging the weekend rotation. THE BITTLER has struck out 29 in 17.2 IP. Ri-damn-diculous. Paxton might be the son of Bill Paxton, but we didn't take the time to look it up. Just tell him his dad is a hack. Might work. Anything other than the second rate throw it in the dirt we've been getting this year.
I hate to ever predict a sweep, because it just makes me feel uneasy and homer-ific. It's what the team needs to do right now to stay in the race for the SEC West or overall SEC regular season title. There's still 21 games left in conference play, but the Rebels have some serious challenges ahead. The Rebels need a sweep.
Friday: Ole Miss 6 Kentucky 2
Saturday: Ole Miss 2 Kentucky 1
Sunday: Ole Miss 7 Kentucky 6

Two intrepid librarians
Two intrepid librarians review the best nonfiction books for children
Monday, April 9, 2012
World War I: An Interactive History Adventure
by Gwenyth Swain
You Choose Books- Capstone Press, 2012
The reviewer borrowed a copy of the book from her school library.
There seem to be three major categories of nonfiction books for children:
1) Curriculum books that teachers use with classes as part of math, science and social studies lessons
2) Research book that students check out when they're looking for information for a research project
3) Pleasure reading nonfiction books that kids read independently (The Guinness Book of World Records, the DK Eyewitness series, and anything by Nic Bishop fall into this category.)
I recently came across a nonfiction series from the third category that is a hot commodity in the library. Kids stop by daily to see which books have been recently returned. The books are part of the Interactive History Adventure series by Capstone, and they're modeled after the old Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 1970s and 80s.
I brought home a few books from the series to read to see what the buzz is about, and I found myself sucked into the stories. Each book begins with a page titled "About Your Adventure." Here's a passage from the introduction to World War I:
"YOU are a young person coming of age as the world explodes in war. What will you do? How will you face the horrors of worldwide conflict? In this book you'll explore how the choices people made meant the difference between life and death. The events you'll experience happened to real people."
The story is written in the second person narrative making the reader the main character. At the beginning of World War I, I had to choose to live in Belgium, join the British military or join the American troops. I chose the British military and followed the instructions on the bottom of the page to turn to page 43.
After a series of choices, I ended up as an infantryman in Wales. While delivering a message to the command post, I was shot and killed. Immediately, I turned back to the beginning of the book to try another path. It is obvious why the books are so appealing to middle grade readers. The stories are full of adventure and suspense, and there are dozens of possible stories to follow within one book. The author does not shy away from the violence or bloodshed of war which contributes to the kid appeal.
You see David lying nearby. Blood is gushing from a wound to his head. You rush to his side but forget to stay low to the ground. A German bullet strikes you, and you fall. (p. 63)
Black and white photographs, maps and illustrations throughout the book help paint a picture of historical events for young readers. Back matter includes a timeline, glossary, bibliography, and index.
Essentially the books in the Interactive History series are a hybrid of fiction and nonfiction. It's evident from the bibliography that Swain researched World War I when writing the stories, however the book contains invented dialogue and fictionalized characters.
Boom! A huge explosion rocks the ship. You and Joe are thrown from the deck.
"What's happening?" you shout.
"It must be a German torpedo," Joe yells back. (p. 21)
For that reason, this is not the book I would hand to a student researching World War I for a class assignment. It is a book that I would give to reluctant readers. The length of the stories and the action-packed scenes from history will hook them right away. There are more than two dozen titles in the series covering topics such as the Titanic, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Salem Witch Trials. So far the books have accomplished two things in my library: they have attracted more readers to the nonfiction section, and they are serving as springboards to other history books. That makes me one happy librarian.

Good to know this is a strong series. I've selected other series for my library. I, too, can appreciate that readers have alternatives and can go back and redo.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the recommendation.
Apples with Many Seeds
Nice! Will definitely check this book out. I have a feeling that my ten year old daughter would also enjoy it. I think Alex has something similar over on his blog, I'd have to discover this book for myself to know what it's all about! :)ReplyDelete
This is the first I have heard of this series. It sounds exciting! I am going to check it out. Thanks for the review.ReplyDelete
Love to know something from the past and to make it short, I am a big fan of history and so glad to find reliable sources about world war 1 and 2 because I am certain this can give me enough information.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all these great suggestions! Now to fill up my GoodReads shelves! ap world history textbookReplyDelete
