SAN ANTONIO-The Culinary Institute of America is celebrating 10 years in San Antonio. Their mission to graduate qualified future chefs and restaurant owners remains on the front burner.
"I always tell my students it's my dream to be called and saying I'm going to open up my restaurant or my bakery," Amandy Carranza said.
Carranza works for the CIA in San Antonio. Students come the Pearl Brewery location to obtain an associate degree: Culinary arts or Baking and pastry arts.
"I really love baking since I was little. so doing this helps me improve my skills," Imani DeSouza said.
DeSouza wil graduate in a few weeks. Madelyn Rodriguez is also getting a degree. She said the CIA changed her life.
"A lof of us changed our dream from when we started," Rodriguez said. "I know for me it's a completely different world being here."
Rodriguez and DeSouza are among the students who have to take on the good and bad from real customers.
"Everybody's in customer service, right?" Carranza said. "So food is about making people happy pretty much."
They invited Neighborhood Eats to sample their breakfast and lunch fare. Of course, there would be no taste test without a pastry.
The taste test started with a pesto salad: The green leaf of a salad mixed with pasta, parmesan cheese, corn, pecans, radish and pesto sauce. Delicious!
Next on the sampler was the Philly 9. It's grilled steak, cheese sauce, onions, mushrooms and peppers. ¡Qué rico!
The same can be said for the marinaded Korean beef, kimchi and pickled veggies on flatbread called the K-town. Both plates come with the most delightful house made chips and plantains (Wish I could buy these in the store).
Brioche French toast with a dusting of powdered sugar, crawling with fresh berries and maple syrup was yet another savory part of the taste test. ¡Qué rico!
Neighborhood Eats took a care package of pastries back to work where they were devoured as quick as you can say sugar.
Breakfast and lunch at the CIA Bakery Cafe at Nao ranges from $5-$9.
That's this week's edition of Neighborhood Eats. If you have a suggestion for Marvin send him an email (Mhurst@kens5.com), tweet (@Mhurstkens5) or post it on his Facebook page. #KENS5EATS

Anterior ankle arthroscopy is a useful, minimally invasive technique for diagnosing and treating ankle conditions. Arthroscopic treatment offers the benefit of decreased surgical morbidity, less postoperative pain, and earlier return to activities. Indications for anterior ankle arthroscopy continue to expand, including ankle instability, impingement, management of osteochondritis dissecans, synovectomy, and loose body removal. Anterior ankle arthroscopy has its own set of inherent risks and complications. Surgeons can decrease the risk of complications through mastery of ankle anatomy and biomechanics, and by careful preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique.

Some travelers through Charleston International Airport don’t think it’s time for the Transportation Security Administration to allow small knives on planes.
“I don’t see any reason that a person has to have a knife on board,” Gail Walker, of Marion, Oh., said this morning.
TSA announced it is changing its security to align with international standards by allowing certain items through screening as carry-on.
Beginning April 25, TSA will allow knives that do not lock, and have blades that are 2.36 inches, or 6 centimeters or less, in length and are less than 1/2 inch in width.
Other newly approved carry-on items include novelty-sized toy bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and two golf clubs as part of carry-on, TSA said on its website.
The change is designed to allow officers to better focus on “higher threat items,” the agency said, including explosives.
Walker said she has adjusted to travel life without bringing a small knife along and said the change is not needed now.

No, Jan. 6 Isn't Another Chance for Trump to Reverse the Election
Caplin & Drysdale’s Trevor Potter authored the December 27, 2020 op-ed “No, Jan. 6 isn’t another chance for Trump to reverse the election.” for The Washington Post. Below is the full op-ed, and please visit this link to view the op-ed as it appears in The Washington Post.
. . .
Jan. 6 is not another Election Day. Don’t let President Trump convince you it is.
What will happen then — a joint session of Congress to receive the presidential and vice-presidential election results transmitted by the states — typically occurs every four years in relative obscurity. But this election cycle has been anything but typical. While there’s no realistic chance of anything happening Jan. 6 to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power consistent with the will of America’s voters and Monday’s electoral college votes, there is still a good chance Trump will try to make the day a super spreader event for the election disinformation with which he is relentlessly trying to infect American democracy.
Foreknowledge is, however, a form of inoculation here. By understanding exactly what does and doesn’t happen Jan. 6, all of us can contribute to making that day a reaffirmation of our democratic process rather than part of a continued assault on it.
As required by the Constitution’s Twelfth Amendment, the House and Senate will gather in a joint session presided over by Vice President Pence. There, the slates of electors for president and vice president from the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, received by Congress from the state governments and accompanied by certificates from the governors, will be read out, and the vote totals will be counted. This is usually a routine process — as it should be, because federal law urges any disputes over such slates to be resolved in the states by Dec. 8, ahead of the electoral college meeting Dec. 14. That is to say any disputes (which are rare to begin with) are meant to be disposed of well before Congress gathers to count the electoral votes. It’s “really a formality,” as Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) has rightly called the coming session.
But it is at least possible for members of Congress to raise objections to one or more slates of electors as they’re read aloud. Under a 130-year-old law called the Electoral Count Act, if one representative and one senator jointly object to a slate, then the whole process pauses while the House and Senate separately debate the objection, then vote on whether to sustain it.
This gives Trump’s die-hard supporters in Congress an opportunity to again provide more disinformation about the election on national television Jan. 6. At least one Republican House member, Rep. Mo Brooks (Ala.), has said he is considering making such an objection — much to Trump’s delight. He’s thinking of objecting even though his ostensible reason, purported election fraud, has been resoundingly rejected by state and federal courts, state election officials of both parties and even Trump’s own attorney general. (It has also been rejected by Trump’s lawyers, who have mostly refrained from bringing fraud charges in actual court proceedings where they would have to prove them, even as they fling accusations around outside of court.)
Even if Brooks finds one or more colleagues and senators to join him, there’s no real possibility of overturning the outcome of the election: the Electoral Count Act requires both the House and the Senate to reject a slate of electors, and there is no sign that either chamber would do so. A number of Republican senators have already rejected such a challenge to the votes of the people, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is telling his caucus not to join any such effort. Surely a majority-Democratic House won’t do so.
As with so much that’s happened since Nov. 3, however, it’s not the threat of actually changing the outcome that’s most worrisome here. Instead, it’s the danger of spreading disinformation and undermining the perceived legitimacy of American democracy, planting the seed for future attempts by the losing party to change election results if they control state legislatures or Congress.
Imagine how Trump might frame the votes that he could push for in January as he continues to deny his election defeat. First, just as Trump has turned on Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp — previously a close ally — because Kemp would not take illegal steps to disrupt that state’s vote certification, the soon-to-be-former-president could start tweeting demands that objections be lodged in Congress. Trump has also attacked Arizona’s Republican Gov. Doug Ducey for not preventing that state’s certification of electors for President-elect Joe Biden, and the U.S. Supreme Court for rejecting a far-fetched lawsuit by his supporters in Texas. Second, if one or more objections are made, Trump might frame the potential votes in the House and Senate to be a vote for him or for Biden — and Trump might, in turn, excoriate any Republican who votes “for Biden,” as he would misleadingly frame it.
That’s why it’s essential to immunize the American people against these falsehoods now, before they can spread. There’s simply no vote for or against any candidate Jan. 6 when Congress meets. No representative or senator is being asked to choose between Trump or Biden. That’s something they were all entitled to do along with other Americans, when they as citizens voted before or on Nov. 3. As Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said recently, “trying to get electors not to do what the people voted to do is madness.”
Instead, there’s only one thing that could be put to a vote Jan. 6: American democracy. The question is whether to respect the choice already made by the American people in every state, as certified by each state’s own election system, whether any particular member of Congress likes that choice. The alternative is to lodge a legally futile but psychologically damaging blow against the integrity of America’s fundamental democratic process and the principles of federalism and the sovereignty of voters.
There’s a way to prevent all of this, of course. No member of Congress should have to choose between casting a vote for democracy itself or avoiding excoriation by the sitting president on Twitter. If lawmakers do not indulge in partisan, baseless claims of election fraud by joining an objection Jan. 6, no vote occurs. Instead, the day proceeds just as it should: as a routine ceremony finalizing the votes already cast by the American people, proceeding the inauguration ceremony Jan. 20.
Don’t let Trump claim otherwise. There’s nothing left to vote for or against. We already voted — and he lost.

Australians are living almost six years longer than they were 30 years ago, but more people are being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Life expectancy at birth in Australia was 77 years in 1990 and had risen to 82.9 years by 2019 according to data published in the Lancet Public Health, which also compared the burden of disease in Australia with 14 similar high sociodemographic (SDI) countries over the same period.
Australia ranks better for diabetes and stroke than many other countries, but ranks poorly for anxiety and depressive disorders as well as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and falls among the elderly.
“This tells us that despite Australia’s strong healthcare system we need to do better with our primary prevention and health promotion strategies,” said Associate Professor Shariful Islam from Deakin University’s Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition.
The study represents the most extensive analysis of disease burden in Australia using standardised and globally comparable metrics developed by the Global Burden of Disease, a comprehensive assessment of premature death, morbidity and disability.
The leading cause of deaths in Australia were ischaemic heart disease; stroke; tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer; Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias; and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Poor mental health, drug use disorders, as well as self-harm and interpersonal violence are among the emerging health issues in Australia.

Researched and independently tested, Ruff Rider's Roadie Canine Vehicle Restraint keeps the dog you love safe and secure while riding, braking or turning, and affords the best protection in extreme situations.
Roadie is NOT a converted leash. It was developed to provide a safe and secure way for your dog to travel in a vehicle with you.
Roadie features & benefits compared to others:
• Safety - stress is placed on the chest instead of the neck of your dog
• Comfort - the tether/leash is adjustable and allows for movement

• Convenience - easy to use, can be leftg on all day in and out of the car
• Vet Approved - designed with input from a veterinary orthopedic surgeon and design engineer
It easily attaches to any vehicle's seatbelt system and the tether acts as a short walking leash for "pit-stops" and all around use. When not in the car, the tether/leash can be rolled up and secured with the hook & loop closure.
Roadie is not designed to fit skin-tight like other harnesses; a looser fit assures your dog stays comfortable and secure.

Cruising along Skyline Drive it occurred to me that maybe this hike wasn’t going to be the hike I had conjured up in my mind yesterday. At that time, I sat on the edge of my bed, maps spread out around me and Sidekick Pauli sprawled beside me catching rays from the afternoon sun.
Now I found myself facing mountains that still showed vestiges of winter. I pulled over no less than three times along the drive just to look, gaze in wonderment, lost in the beauty of Shenandoah. I decided we would hike where the snow still lingered.
I had been headed to Elkwallow Wayside, but stopped short when I got to Overall Run Falls trail head. Yes! We ARE STOPPING RIGHT HERE!!! The trees were all sporting a fresh layer of rime and the trail was perfect with about an inch and a half of dry snow. Oh, it was gorgeous! Like *gasp* gorgeous!
I took a look at the map and started down the AT to Elkwallow, I would decide whether to backtrack or loop once I got there. Sidekick Pauli was hiking with me today and is still sporting a pretty good scar down her neck…so it just depended on how she was doing when we got to Elkwallow.
The AT to Elkwallow Wayside is a fairly moderate hike with a view that was nice! Sidekick Pauli scrambled up the rocks and stared into the distance with satisfaction. Oh, she was definitely happy to be back on the trail! This was our only overlook, although, there were nice forest views along the way. We passed over Skyline Drive on the AT, then headed slightly up before passing the PATC Range View cabin and descending to Elkwallow Wayside.
At Elkwallow, we took a detour down to the picnic area…for a pit stop. While I was, um, otherwise engaged a family had driven up to also use the bathroom. Apparently, this was the only bathroom open in the area. When Sidekick Pauli and I exited the bathroom they just lost it. They were gabbing away in a language not understood by me. They were simply in fits!! I didn’t get it, what the heck, haven’t they seen something like this before??? I heard their laughter and felt their pointing until we disappeared into the woods. Haha! Glad I could add something to their Shenandoah memory!! 😀
Sidekick Pauli was loving it! I decided to loop down to Matthews Arm campground, then climb back up to the AT via the Traces & Tuscarora Overall Run Trails. The weather had warmed a bit and there was no snow on the Elkwallow Trail down to the campground. A nice picnic on a damp log awaited us! Sidekick Pauli gobbled down several of Queen V’s home made doggie treats!! I made do with a PB&J. 🙂
The birds were rocking out while we sat there in the middle of the otherwise quiet woods. Lovely to listen to but my butt was getting wet…time to move!
Soon after crossing the bridge we reached Matthews Arm campground. We found the Traces Trail after crossing the parking lot. This trail starts to climb, and the climb goes on, and on. Maybe it was because I left this piece of trail for last…but man, oh man, that climb! Between 800 and 1000 feet! To say I was happy to reach the snow line would be an understatement! Whew!!
I reached the car and began getting ready for the drive home. Took off the layers, traded out the hiking boots for sandals, did a few not helpful stretches, grabbed the cheezits…
While storing my bag, boots, and clothes in the back of the car, a ranger pulled up. “Hey, just wanted to let you know there is some weather coming in overnight so we are going to be closing Skyline Drive.”
No problem, ranger! We are ready to go! Hike on!

*Content warning – this piece contains details regarding the abuse and murder of a child.*
The murder trial is ongoing.
Three people in the UK are currently on trial for the murder of five-year-old Logan Mwangi.
As Sky News reports, the child’s body was found in the River Ogmore near his home village Sarn in South Wales last July.
Logan’s mother, Angharad Williamson, and her partner John Cole, have been accused of his murder. A third person – a 14-year-old – has also been accused, but he cannot be named due to his age.
Today, a jury at the Cardiff Crown Court heard that Logan suffered 54 injuries prior to his death.
Prosecutor Caroline Rees QC told the court: “The prosecution say that Logan died as a result of a brutal and sustained assault upon him which happened inside the home.
“It is the use of forceful violence which caused the catastrophic injuries found at post mortem.”
Logan’s mother, her partner and the 14-year-old have also been accused of perverting the course of justice.
Accusing them, Ms Rees said: “Each prioritised their own self-preservation over all else and particularly over the needs of Logan.”
The jury also heard how Ms Williamson filed a missing person’s report for Logan on 31 July and accused another woman of abducting him.
CCTV subsequently captured Cole and the 14-year-old walking along the river’s pathway carrying Logan’s body. They walked to the spot where Logan’s body was later found.
Meanwhile, a light can be seen going on and off in the child’s bedroom. Prosecution claim that this means that Williamson was awake and knew what had happened to her child.
Additionally, the jury also heard that a social worker visited the home on 30 July, but was told that Logan could not be seen as it was claimed he had tested positive for Covid-19 and was isolating.
Referencing this, Prosecutor Rees said: “If, as Angharad Williamson claims in interview, and as we understand her defence case will be, (the youth) and John Cole had severely assaulted Logan the day before, why didn’t she tell (the social worker) in her 20-minute visit to the property?”
The murder trial continues.

Domain networks typically include servers, desktops, printers, and other devices. It also supplies a mechanism to qualify and authenticate users for network access. Administrators can control the user’s resources and the user’s access level.
Network domains can organize network resources and users based on the organization’s needs and the type of resources connected to the network. Administrators can apply policies to network resources at an acceptable level. The user logs into the domain to access authorized resources. Domain Networks also enable communication and collaboration of users on the network. Domains can include resources and users on local area networks (LANs) and broad area networks (WANs). Here you can read more about Blockchain and Traditional Databases: Similarities and Differences Explained
Features of Domain Networks
A domain network has the following characteristics:
- Domain name: A domain network has a unique name that identifies it on the Internet or a private network. For example, webopedia.com is a domain name that belongs to a domain network1.
- Domain controller: A Network Domain has one or more servers that act as domain controllers. These servers store and manage information about the domain, such as user accounts, passwords, groups, policies, and permissions. Domain controllers also handle the authentication and authorization of users and devices that join the domain.
- Domain members: A domain network has various members that are part of the domain. These can include computers, printers, scanners, and other devices connected to the network. Domain members can access the resources and services available in the domain, such as shared files, folders, printers, and applications.
Benefits of Domain Networks
A domain network offers several advantages over a workgroup network, a more straightforward network type that does not have a domain controller or a domain name. Some of the benefits of domain networks are:
A domain network allows the administrator to manage the entire network from a single point. The administrator can create, modify, and delete user accounts, groups, policies, and permissions for the domain members. The administrator can also monitor and troubleshoot the network performance and security.
A domain network provides a higher level of protection than a workgroup network. The domain controller verifies the identity and credentials of the users and devices that try to access the domain resources. The domain controller also enforces the security policies and settings that the administrator defines. The domain members can also use encryption and certificates to protect their data and communication.
A domain network can support many users and devices without compromising the network performance and reliability. The domain controller can distribute the workload and traffic among servers and subdomains. The domain network can also include remote locations and cloud services.
Challenges of Domain Networks
A domain network also has some drawbacks and limitations that must be considered. Some of the challenges of domain networks are:
A domain network requires more planning, configuration, and maintenance than a workgroup network. The network administrator needs the technical skills and knowledge to set up and manage the domain controller and the domain members. The administrator must also ensure the compatibility and interoperability of the different devices and systems in the domain.
A domain network bill scam involves more expenses than a workgroup network. The network administrator must purchase and install the hardware and software required for the domain controller and members. The administrator must also pay for domain name registration, renewal, network bandwidth, and security.
A domain network depends on the availability and functionality of the domain controller. If the domain controller fails or becomes inaccessible, the domain members may be unable to log in or access the domain resources. The domain controller poses a single point of failure and is a potential target for cyberattacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a domain network?
The network domain is a group of connected devices such as computers, printers, servers, and network objects such as users, companies, and systems. These devices and objects are organized and managed under a single administrative umbrella.
Is the domain network legit?
Many business owners reported receiving emails from Domain Networks requesting up to $289 in payments for listing maintenance. This email looks legitimate, but domain name invoices from Domain Networks are unfair, and business owners do not need to pay.
What is the structure of the domain network?
The domain network has five features: the line where the resource flows, the device that controls the flow of the resource, the junction where the feature is connected, the assembly representing the line, the intersection, the assemblies of the device, and the subnetwork line that defines the range of the resource flow.
We have explored that a domain networks is a type of network that has a domain name, a domain controller, and domain members. A domain network provides centralized management, enhanced security, and improved scalability. A network is a system of related things, and a domain is a set of support and items controlled by a set of privileges and rules. However, a domain network has challenges like complexity, cost, and dependency. A domain network suits large, complex networks supporting many users and devices.


Over 24,000 age pensioners in Hunter are to be hit by Tony Abbotts broken promise on the age pension.
Tony Abbott said time and time again before the election that he wouldnt change the pension and now we know that is exactly what he is planning to do.
"Tony Abbott wants to pay high income women $75,000 to have a baby, but wants to cut the payments of over 24,000 age pensioners in Hunter.
"Why are the priorities of this Prime Minister so twisted?" Joel Fitzgibbon said.
"At the last election, Tony Abbott promised our pensioners he would not cut their pensions he is betraying the trust of pensioners who took him at his word,"
Before the election, Tony Abbott made a solemn promise to Australian pensioners:
ABBOTT: No cuts to education, no cuts to health, no change to pensions, no change to the GST and no cuts to the ABC or SBS.
[Tony Abbott SBS Interview 6 September 2013]
ABBOTT: I can assure your listeners that there will be no cuts to health, no cuts to education, no cuts to pensions, no change to the GST
[Tony Abbott 5 September ABC AM]
ABBOTT: There are no cuts to health. No cuts to education. Pensions dont change. The GST doesnt change.
[Tony Abbott Speech to the National Press Club 2 September 2013]
Joel Fitzgibbon said that he would fight against Tony Abbotts cuts to the age pension.
"Labor does not support the Prime Ministers cuts to the Age Pension and we will oppose these cuts every step of the way."

We all have stories. We all learned how to use language to deliver the message of our view, our story. Some of us have been told stories that we allow to be incorporated into our personal story, sometimes without knowing whether it is true or not. As humans we are born with the power of creation. We have beautiful creative energies that flow through us. We use them to create life, music, art, love, and sometimes we use them to create messes, mistakes, wounds, or hardship. We also use them to create our stories. What is important to see here is the value of being mindful of how we use these energies.
With our stories, our word needs to be flawless. We have so much knowledge about ourselves, the world, the past and we want to bring that into our future. But we have to be particularly careful that we do not distort this knowledge and that we remain impeccable with it and the energy it exists in.
The real authentic you is beyond anyone you could ever imagine you to be! That is how powerful the energies are that are within you. Your truth is real, your body is real, but the beliefs you hold about yourself are not always real. Sometimes they are distorted as well. Sometimes they are not our own beliefs, they are part of that story we allowed to become part of ours, whether it was true or not. The shaman helps bring the pieces back together that have been pulled from the story. Acting as a bridge to the soul's truth and the distorted or broken story of one's life, they can help support the union the energies of the story.
So, we go back to the need to be impeccable with our words. If our words have the ability to create our story, then should we be sure we speak only the truest words. And in the process of that creation, we should speak of what we really are and really want to breathe life into.
Knowing this, our self-talk then begins to change. We have the power and the knowledge and the creative ability to make a story of truth for ourselves to exist in. No more room for talk that is self-deprecating. No more lies. No more using the power of our words to create a story that works against us.
The shaman knows the power of story. The shaman is the storyteller. The shaman knows that every word creates a symbol, holds magic and is all-powerful. When the story wounds or dis-empowers, the shaman often is called upon to help heal the soul whose creative force has been depleted, blocked or wounded. It is often in the healing of the story and the reintegration of the truth that one returns to their power.

WHO: Air pollution rising in cities
More than 80 per cent of people living in urban areas that monitor air pollution are exposed to levels that exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. All regions of the world are affected, but people in low-income cities suffer the worst effects. Some 98 per cent of cities in low- and middle-income countries with more than 100,000 inhabitants do not meet the WHO air quality guidelines. In high-income countries, that figure decreases to 56 per cent of cities.
These figures come from the WHO’s recent update of its global urban ambient air pollution database. Data from a total of 795 cities in 67 countries was compared for levels of small and fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) between 2008 and 2013. Over these six years, global urban air pollution levels increased by eight per cent, despite improvements in some regions.
PM10 and PM2.5 include pollutants such as sulphates, nitrates and black carbon, which penetrate deep into the lungs and into the cardiovascular system, posing the greatest risks to human health.
According to the database, levels of PM2.5 are highest in India, which has 16 of the world’s 30 most polluted cities. China has improved since 2011 and now has only five cities in the top 30. Nine other countries, including Pakistan and Iran, have one city each in the worst 30.
“It is crucial for city and national governments to make urban air quality a health and development priority,” said Dr Carlos Dora, co-ordinator of the WHO’s Interventions for Healthy Environments programme. “When air quality improves, health costs from air-pollution-related diseases shrink, worker productivity expands and life expectancy grows.”
The WHO database, including a summary, is at: www.who.int/phe/health_topics/outdoorair/databases/cities/en

Tongues have started wagging about the future of the talks.
The handshake offers a ray of hope. One hopes that this gesture turns out to be ice-breaker before the winter chill sets in.
News and social media went into frenzy after Prime Minister Narendra Modi walked up to his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of a climate change summit in Paris and shook hands. Many jumped the gun and started discussing the fate of the stalled talks between the two countries. Was the handshake a mere courtesy photo-op, or was there something more to it? And so on and so forth. Well, one just does not know what the two leaders discussed, but one thing is certain that they did not discuss the climate of Paris. But what mattered most was the handshake which replaced the most important Paris climate talks as the lead story in Indian and Pakistani newspapers.<!– Dna_Article_Middle_300x250_BTF –>Tongues have started wagging about the future of the talks. What a prosaic interpretation? Is there any doubt about resumption of talks? Absolutely not! It is just a matter of time when the two countries will again start talk the talk, but what is more important is whether they will walk the walk. No two neighbours can remain in a perpetual mode of denial for long. In the past also, the two countries have been involved in talks despite going to full-fledged wars three times and a brief conflict in Kargil in 1999 since their independence. But they were back to talks after sometime. It is an on and off exercise which will go on before the two nations regain trust about each other to operationalise the full-scale structured talks. The leadership of both the countries is mature enough to understand that war would only lead to catastrophe and complicate the matters beyond repairs. Dialogue can only take them forward to any meaningful and lasting solution to the issues that bedevil their relations.But for that to happen, a congenial atmosphere is the basic requirement. Incidents in the last few months have only widened the trust deficit as both the countries view each other with suspicion. The media of the two countries has also played a devilish role by resorting to jingoist rhetoric forcing the hands of the leadership of both the countries to move cautiously. The cross-border firing, increase in militant activities in Kashmir, the recent arrest of agents affiliated to Pakistan’s intelligence agency in India do not augur well for the immediate resumption of talks, even though cosmetic, in the immediate future.The handshake offers a ray of hope. One hopes that this gesture turns out to be ice-breaker before the winter chill sets in. This was their second meeting this year after they met in the Russian city of Ufa in July and decided to give a push to the stalled talks by agreeing to a meeting of National Security Advisors. But sadly, the meeting just failed to take off as both the sides stuck to unreasonable grounds. There was another opportunity a month later in the United Nations General Assembly session for them to meet. But by then the ties had soured and the two leaders intentionally decided to stay away from public glare by only waving at each other.Talks for the sake of talks should be avoided. Both the countries should do some serious introspection and adopt a pragmatic approach if they are really serious in taking the talks forward. Nawaz Sharif’s recent offer of unconditional talks with India during his meeting with British Premier David Cameron on the sidelines of the Commonwealth summit in Malta has largely gone unnoticed in India as New Delhi has not even bothered to take note of it, leave aside making any comments. Pakistan needs to understand that talks and terror can?t go hand in hand. At a time, when the world has been rattled by a series of bloody terrorist activities, the sentiments are running high against terrorist groups. And to expect India to enter into talks with Pakistan as long as it is seen as in collusion with terrorist groups is asking for too much. Pakistan needs to make some forward movement in this regard before it can hope for resumption of normal ties.The use of terrorism as a state policy is falling apart as the nations themselves are feeling the pinch. Who knows is better than Pakistan which has suffered the most? The same groups whom it cradled have started turning their back on it and are causing the maximum damage. Terrorism today poses a major threat to the world than anything else. The Paris attacks have only emboldened the resolve of the global community to formulate a common and concerted strategy to defang this monster which is spreading its tentacles.There is an opportunity before Pakistan to join the global war against terrorism to regain its bruised image. India is not the only country which views its estranged neighbour with suspicion. The list is endless. Pakistan has been ticked off by major powers from time to time. It should listen to the sage counsel and launch a war against terrorism. There is no doubt that it will feel the pain initially, but this pain is worth suffering, because if it is allowed to fester it will become a deadly disease and amputation will be the only recourse. It is up to Pakistan to decide which path it wants to tread. Talks with India can wait.Vikas Khanna is a senior journalist and the views expressed by him are personal.

Music affects life in different ways. Inspires dreams, it gives energy during exercise, helps you relax, and motivates. It all depends on our mood. There is therefore nothing surprising in the fact that music may very well help us perform better and better transactions.
The relationship between music and our cognitive functions is widely recognized. Music supports the process of reading and literary skills, understanding of time and space, mathematical ability and emotional intelligence. It is also said that music relieves pain, reduces blood pressure and increases the resistance. What more could an investor want?
In this article we discuss how music affects the carrying out of the transaction. It should be remembered that in this case, correlation does not necessarily imply a causal relationship! Music is absolutely no substitute for replacement commercial skills to be constantly developed. However, one may be tempted to conclude that listening to music has a positive effect on the transaction in five ways.
If you plan to be a great trader, you must be able to deal with emotions. The realization of how we respond to stress, is one of the best ways to do to deal with it. Listening to music while carrying out commercial transactions reduces stress enough that it allows you to concentrate on performing the right actions at the right time. Music also helps in the fight against the negative bias, allowing you to focus on the positive experience. Not always easy to trigger a positive attitude, which calm the mind and strengthened the analysis of the economic calendar. So try to improve your mood, including your favorite song.
Research shows that the brain develops much faster data while listening to the right music (in this case, Mozart). Processing speed a measure of the effectiveness of cognitive, which combines the speed and fluidity of tasks is extremely important for traders, who must constantly juggle a wide range of data, indicators, etc., To open or close the position. To run multitasking, traders must be vigilant and assertive. Listening to your favorite songs is a great patent for an even better performance in this area.
Medical studies have shown a close link between listening to music and the increased level of concentration. According to a study conducted at the Medical University Stanford: "[M] usic involved brain areas associated with concentration of attention, memory and the ability to anticipate."
In the course of transactions in the financial markets is very important, increased attention and appropriately respond quickly to the latest developments, new trends, and other factors that may affect the financial results. This study clearly indicates that music in the background helps concentration and responsiveness.
The research also shows that listening to music, especially classical music, improves the ability to recall information. This effect is so immediate that the researchers could pinpoint the types of music, having the strongest effect on memory. Investors who want to remember the concepts of financial theory and strategy should learn them, listening to a particular piece of music. This way is much easier and faster to remind yourself what you want, "recreating" the song in my head!
You do not need science to this point easily prove. Commerce (and probably most things in life) brings much more fun when accompanied by the music coming somewhere in the background. People listen to music when I work, clean up, learn, train and direct the car. Why trade would be different? The pleasant experience with investing, the greater the motivation to act.
The music itself, of course, does not improve the financial results, but certainly relieves stress and cut off from the everyday problems that often stand in the way of success. Listening to music improves concentration, increases productivity and relaxes. Under enormous pressure prevailing in the financial markets, these elements can decide whether to generate a profit, or you clear your account.
If you decide to experiment with music, start to go very slowly. Make sure you hear all the alerts and whether the program for music playback does not slow down the CPU in your computer. Perhaps it would be better to listen to music from your phone, tablet or other device, independent of the place of your work.

Poem in Your Pocket Day 2010
Last year, I was inspired by Buffy Hamilton and other media specialists who were participating in National Poem In Your Pocket Day. I asked myself, “How might we celebrate this wonderful day in our elementary school?” This question developed into a 2-day celebration of poetry throughout our whole school.
Our preparation starts at the beginning of April with daily poetry on BTV and poetry writing workshops with multiple classes. This year, we did lessons on green living poetry, poetry & photography, book spine poetry, and shape poetry. Many classroom teachers also explored biopoetry and list poetry. Because of CRCT testing, we held our Poem in Your Pocket Day on April 15th instead of the national day, April 29th. On April 15th, all students, teachers, and staff carried poems in their pockets that they wrote themselves or that they copied from a book. Each person was given a “Poem In Your Pocket Day 2010” sticker indicating that they had a poem in their pocket. All day, participants were encouraged to stop one another and share their poems.
On April 14th & 15th, the media center was transformed into a poetry cafe. Tables were set with bulletin board paper tablecloths, paper lanterns, die-cut confetti, and poetry books. Crayons were also placed on tables for students to create their own images and poetry as they attended the cafe. Lamps covered by scarves lighted the sides of the media center. The stage area featured a cloth covered stool with groovy lights and fabrics as a backdrop. Every class in the school came to the cafe during the two days to read poetry at the open mic. We all celebrated each poet’s reading by snapping.
Several incredible moments happened during the two days. When our paraprofessional, Ms. Olin went to do lunch duty, she saw students asking each other to share their poems. Our principal went outside to recess on both of our school playgrounds and heard students saying, “Do you have your poem? Let me hear it”. In the media center, we saw several students who hardly ever speak go up to the microphone and share their poem. We saw students do some impromptu multiple voice poems and choral reading. We also heard a beautiful reading of Eloise Greenfield’s “Honey, I Love” from a 3rd grader. We had several adults who also shared at our open mic. Our school secretary, aka “The Queen”, shared a poem about being a queen. Our technology integration specialist, Steve Piazza, shared a poem he wrote about pockets. Meg Inscoe, a first grade paraprofessional, shared a limerick about her class. Ms. Olin shared two poems that she wrote about things she loves and dreams. Several teachers, including Ms. Em, shared their poetry as well. Our assistant principal saw students sharing poems after school as they went to their cars. Also, her son had memorized his poem and recited it for the family at dinner. The day after Poem in your Pocket Day, a PreK student brought me a poetry book he had made at home and he left space for me to include my own poems. The list could go on and on. The day was just filled with wonderful moments.
It was sad to take down all of the cafe decorations after school, but we have these pictures to help us remember this wonderful day until next year’s Poem in Your Pocket Day. Enjoy viewing the pictures and looking at examples of our poetry creations. Feel free to post comments about your own poetry celebrations.


How will California ever finish high-speed rail when it can’t finish San Francisco’s Downtown Rail Extension?
Twenty-three years ago, a restauranteur named Gavin Newsom was appointed to his first political gig, as a San Francisco parking-and-traffic commissioner. Back then, a top priority of San Francisco transportation officials was a proposed 1.3 mile-rail line called the Downtown Rail Extension, or DTX, to connect the city’s commuter rail station with downtown.
All these years later, DTX still is little more than a proposal, vital but unrealized. still. As such, it embodies the massive failure of transportation execution Newsom now confronts in California.
The history of the DTX also demonstrates that, for all the state’s struggles to build big infrastructure projects, California is even worse at the little stuff. We’ve constructed two rail lines that reach the edge of LAX, but don’t enter the airport. Disneyland has its own railroad and monorail but no rail link to the park itself. San Diego’s signature trolley doesn’t go to its world-famous zoo.
The mile-plus gap that DTX should fill—between where trains arrive in San Francisco and the city’s downtown Market Street corridor—has its origins in Civil War-era planning, and San Francisco has blown repeated opportunities to bridge it. The best chance to build a downtown rail station came after the 1906 earthquake, but it was dropped in the rush to prepare for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
By the mid-1990s, when Newsom was appointed to that San Francisco commission,
It appeared that the DTX’s time had finally come. In 1999, San Francisco voters approved Proposition H, which mandated the extension finally be built, to connect commuter rail to a planned Transbay Transit Center downtown. During the campaign, the rail extension’s cost was estimated at $600 million.
Over the next decade, plans were refined. And in 2010, ground broke on the Transbay Transit Center. But the transit center ran so over budget that it ended up grabbing the $600 million intended for DTX. Newsom’s successor as mayor, Ed Lee, stalled the project by proposing a new path for the extension so that it would reach new housing developments and a new basketball arena. A study of possible paths was supposed to take eight months, but took 5 years.
The Transbay Transit Center opened in 2018, as the world’s most expensive bus terminal. It has no rail link because construction on DTX still hasn’t started.
During the last 23 years —a period in which Newsom launched his political career, got married, was elected mayor, got divorced, got remarried, was elected lieutenant governor, had four kids, and got elected governor—a rail project of just 1.3 miles has gone exactly nowhere. The best-case scenario is that DTX would open in 2027—a year after Newsom would leave office if he serves two terms.
This may tell us something about Newsom’s deep skepticism about high-speed rail and other transportation projects. For all the governor’s lion-like roars about the need for transformational projects in health care, education and housing, he has squeaked like a mouse when it comes to infrastructure.
Since he first encountered DTX as a rookie public official, Newsom has seen some projects progress with struggle (like the Central Subway in San Francisco) while others failed. And he’s seen newly elected officials intervene to impose their own vision on major construction projects. Governors Pete Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenegger both stalled the new east span of the Bay Bridge to reconsider it—in the process adding to delays on the scandalously expensive project. The east span was such a disaster that Gov. Jerry Brown and other top officials wouldn’t attend its 2013 opening. It was left to Newsom, then the lieutenant governor, to handle the ceremony.
There are huge lessons to be drawn from California’s transportation failures, large and small. Every project needs a clear and accountable champion. Successful projects require dedicated staffs with technical expertise and real power; too many projects rely on too many expensive and unaccountable outside consultants. Such projects need realistic budgets, more financial commitment from taxpayers, and far greater urgency. DTX has none of these things.
Neither does high-speed rail. And if the bullet train ends up diminished or dead, Newsom can console himself with this: It won’t be nearly as bad a failure as DTX. The latest estimates for that 1.3-mile project, which includes a couple new stations, have ballooned to $6.1 billion.
High-speed rail may be an $80 billion project, but if it were as expensive per-mile as DTX, connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco would cost over $2 trillion.

Consider Lady Gaga’s hackles raised. After People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals publicly branded her a “turncoat” for sporting fur at recent appearances, the pop diva fired back with a thinly veiled indictment of the animal-rights group and its “violent, abusive, and childish” campaigns. “I have truly always stayed away from skinned fur, especially [since] I have never been able to afford a nice one,” she addressed her fans in a blog post, winkingly titled “Furgate Part 1,” on Wednesday. “But this does not mean my morals are rigid and that I won’t bend at the sight of an absolute art piece of a coat.”
The self-proclaimed “Mother Monster” considers herself someone who “appreciates and adores the beauty of animals in fashion, but…not a strict vegan.” She also stopped short of admitting that the pelts were real. “I am choosing not to comment on whether or not the furs I purchase are faux fur-pile or real because I would think it hypocritical not to acknowledge the python, ostrich, cow hide, leather, lamb, alligator, “Kermit,” and not to mention meat, that I have already worn,” she said.
Where you see an animal carcass, Lady Gaga sees a “museum pièce de résistance,” she said.
Where some may see an animal carcass, however, Gaga sees a “museum pièce de résistance,” a view she asks her fans to respect as much as she respects theirs. As for PETA, which cautioned her against becoming a target like “the mindless Kim Kardashian,” the “Born This Way” singer couldn’t resist a final dig: “Save your flour to make bread for the children who are hungry,” she wrote, alluding to the PETA supporter who “flour-bombed” the reality star in March. “And Kim Kardashian is fabulous.”
Gaga’s fans flooded the comments with messages of support—and disgust. “I don’t understand how you can put your taste in fashion and art above the life of a beautiful creature,” a fan named Alec Haas wrote. “Animals are not ours…they are not for us to use as clothes,” another replied. “And Kim Kardarshian is just a futile person.”

Who is the Light?
Before the world began, there was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through him. Nothing was made without him. In him there was life. That life was light for the people of the world. The Light shines in the darkness. And the darkness has not overpowered the Light.
There was a man named John who was sent by God. He came to tell people about the Light. Through him all people could hear about the Light and believe. John was not the Light, but he came to tell people about the Light. The true Light was coming into the world. The true Light gives light to all. (John 1:1-9 International Children’s Bible)
The writer of this book of the Gospel, the Apostle John (and not John the Baptist who he writes about here), writes in a cryptic manner. His words are beautiful and poetic, sometimes to the point where you wouldn’t know what he’s referring to unless you are already familiar with the Bible stories.
The theme for our Christmas program at church last night was "Jesus is the Light." Though our number of kids is small, they did a great job, sharing the Light of Jesus with us.

ESPN launches website, app to tap digital sports content market2 min read . Updated: 02 Jun 2016, 08:36 PM IST
ESPN's website and app, launched under the aegis of its Sony Pictures partnership, offers access to various sports, will live stream the UEFA Euro 2016
New Delhi: Sports broadcaster ESPN Inc. on Thursday launched a set of mobile first digital products for India including a multi-sport website and the ESPN app, seeking to tap into a large and potentially lucrative, but highly competitive market for sports content. Both the website and the app will generate revenue through advertising in India.
ESPN will directly compete with Star India owned and operated digital platforms hotstar and starsports.com.
ESPN announced the digital launches first in October, at the time of its return to the broadcasting space in India through a partnership with Sony Pictures Networks India. The digital products too have been launched under the aegis of the partnership.
ESPN.in and the ESPN app, will both carry SONYESPN branding and feed off and into Sony LIV, the digital streaming platform of Sony Pictures Networks (SPN).
“Sony LIV has been instrumental in bringing the best of entertainment to the digital millennials. Sports is an integral part of our offering. Together with ESPN, we are geared to increase our offering manifold," said Uday Sodhi, executive vice president & head, (Digital Business), Sony Pictures Networks India.
Around 40-50 million Indians actively consume sports content on digital media, according to Sodhi from Sony based on estimates from other platform owners.
ESPN’s website and app offers access to sports such as football, hockey, badminton, tennis, Formula 1 and kabaddi. ESPN will live stream the UEFA Euro 2016 matches starting from 10 June.
Over the past 18 months, ESPN’s digital video views in India (primarily on ESPNcricinfo and ESPN FC) have grown by over 130%, the company said, without specifying the numbers.
“Serving the massive and vibrant sports fan community with entertaining, insightful and high-quality products and content, across digital devices and television, is at the core of ESPN’s strategy in India and the subcontinent," the company said in a statement.
According to GroupM, digital advertising spending will touch ₹ 7,300 crore on the back of higher investments in cross-screen campaigns. Digital advertising will account for 12.7% of all ad spending in 2016, added the media buying agency in its report titled This Year Next Year 2016. The agency expects Video on Demand (VOD) services to gain popularity in India.
Currently, hotstar is India’s largest premium streaming platform with more than 85,000 hours of drama and movies in 8 languages, and coverage of every major global sporting event. Launched in February 2015, it has been downloaded by more than 65 million users and has attracted followers on the back of a highly evolved video streaming technology across devices and platforms.
Soon after its launch, Hotstar raced on to become one of the fastest adopted new apps anywhere in the world. Hotstar offers most of its content free of cost and recently introduced a pay wall that provides some of the most popular international TV series and films largely from the 21st Century Fox library for a monthly subscription fee of ₹ 199.
According to Vinit Karnik, business head (sports, entertainment and live events) at media buying agency GroupM, “Digital viewing in India is growing by every hour. Sports fan likes to keep in touch with the action real time and on the go. Launch of ESPN.in only confirms this trend. While the digital platforms are currently driven by advertising revenue, the day is not to far when the marque event will be available only on subscription." he said.

Pentium Hydro has won a general works contract at the Roy Hill iron ore mine in the Pilbara, Western Australia.
Under the contract, the Vysarn subsidiary will be responsible for dual rotary and reverse circulation bore drilling services, minor civil earthworks or rotary air and conventional drilling services as per Roy Hill’s requests.
In the initial two-year period, the Perth-based iron ore company may issue work requests to Pentium, who must respond within two business days. Roy Hill may choose to extend for a further year.
Pentium has already accepted its first work request from Roy Hill for dual rotary drilling and construction, dewatering production bores up to 100 metres deep at Roy Hill’s iron ore mine, 115 kilometres from Newman.
The works, which are valued at approximately $2 million, are expected to take four to five months to complete, subject to the mobilisation of the rig before Christmas.
Pentium managing director Sheldon Burt said the company was thrilled to have the opportunity to build a strong working relationship with Roy Hill.
“Pentium Hydro is delighted with the award of a contract with a client of Roy Hill Iron Ore’s standing,” Burt said.
“We are committed to building strong relationships and the development of these relationships is a core component of Pentium’s long-term strategy to be a leading hydrogeological water well service provider in Australia.”
This year, Pentium has also completed contract work for AngloGold Ashanti and the Independence Group’s Tropicana gold joint venture and at Fortescue Metals Group’s Cloudbreak iron ore project.

The original painting entitled "Shuri" by AP was used to create two sets of earrings. This pair features a silver oval setting which highlights the unique cuttings from the painting, which are sealed in a two-part epoxy resin, leaving the rear of the canvas visible for authenticity. A gorgeous blue glass bead is surrounded by a rose quartz on either side. The colors of paint used sparkle and glitter in places for an effect that draws the eye.
Shuri Oval Canvas and Resin Earrings
These earrings are one-of-a-kind, and come with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
