Custom Made Jewelry Handcrafted –Sterling Silver
The reproduction of antique jewelry is an opportunity to recreate and appropriate pieces of history that fascinate us, both for their design, so different from modern jewelry, and for their history, which reminds us of the origin of our civilization.
The British Museum in London exhibits incredible Byzantine rings, which recall the splendor of the Byzantine Empire, pearl of the Orient at a time when Christianity was very present there.
We therefore had the opportunity for one of our customers to reproduce one of these rings that you can find here on their site.
Faced with all the existing chain maille weaves for making chains, used both for bracelets, necklaces and anklets, it's normal that you feel disoriented when you search for an internet purchase.
To find your way around, we offer you this guide which includes most of the chain maille weaves used for bracelets, chains and necklaces.

Men prefer signet rings to rings.
Wearing little jewelry, they are usually oriented towards making unique signet rings personalized according to their tastes. Of course, the price of these signet rings suffers and has nothing to do with the price of simple rings manufactured in series that are found in jewelry dealers.
The purpose of this article is to explain what are the cost factors when making a signet ring in gold or silver and help you to mature your project.
Note that there is no more beautiful signet that the one that makes you want. A beautiful signet ring is one that brings together a style that suits you with the decorative elements that make you vibrate.
Hundreds of expectant mothers take advantage each year of their maternity to buy and wear a pregnancy bola. This unique piece for pregnant women has positive effects for both the baby and the mother!
The bola is a jewel usually rounded shape that tinkles gently with the movements of the woman who wears it. The sound has soothing virtues to the extent that the baby will get used to the sound melody of the bell pregnancy. It is generally said that the baby hears the ringing as early as 4/5 months of pregnancy, and then until the end of the pregnancy.
For the pregnant woman, the jewel bola is an original and trendy accessory that symbolizes motherhood, but it is also a pretty jewel that will bring a particular touch to your wardrobe ...
According to sources, the bola pendant is made in Mexico, Thailand, China ... but the real origin is Indonesia and more precisely Bali. Made by craftsmen respecting the tradition, the realization of a jumper bola pregnancy respects certain unavoidable steps.
Mexico is the world's largest producer of silver ore and a leading producer of silver jewelry.
This is why many wholesalers and suppliers of silver jewelry are in Mexico.
Silver metal is extracted as ores mixed with other rocks and ores and must be separated and refined in order to produce pure silver or 999 silver bullion.
This silver is then used for the manufacture of jewelry, to do this, it must be alloyed with other metals (usually copper) to obtain silver jewelry having a better mechanical resistance.
It is essential to know how to solder silver to make elaborate jewels.
However, in the majority of cases, when we talk about silver solder, it is an abuse of language : in reality we're doing a silver brazing.
In jewelry, we assemble silver coins by wetting them with silver solder. This silver solder will, by capillarity, run along the gap between the two parts and hold them together while cooling.
We invite you to discover this process in photos, by the work of a designer making silver jewelry.
To solder silver, it takes two pieces in pure silver (925 or 950 in the case of this example) and silver solder.
It's also necessary to use a liquid facilitating the solder, it cleans the areas of solder and avoids the oxidation of the latter, we generally use the Borax.
Silver solder is an alloy of silver and copper that has a lower melting temperature than the pure silver we are trying to solder. It's less pure silver than the sterling silver we work.
Hallmark of a jewel or a precious metal object (gold, silver or platinum) is the official guarantee of the title (its degree of purity) of the considered metal.
These precious metals have common characteristics : they're very resistant to oxidation, they have an incomparable brilliance, and above all they are ductile, malleable.
Therefore, it's necessary to combine them with other metals in order to increase their mechanical strength and to be able to use them in the form of jewels or pieces of silverware.
Silver is commonly alloyed with copper; and gold with zinc, nickel, copper, or silver. It's in order to find your way among this range of precious alloys that hallmarks have appeared. Hallmarks are a guarantee of the title of the jewel's metal or object of art.
We usually recognize sterling silver by testing it with acid.
Many jewels are sold claiming to be sterling silver but are fake jewels, namely an economical 925 silver plated metal.
A popular method for testing silver jewelry is that of the touchstone.
Many women with a silver jewelry collection also have a collection of silver chains and bracelets broken or damaged to continue wearing them. The advantage of solid silver jewelry is that they never lose the metal value that composes them.
It's easy to melt these jewelry scraps into a silver nugget that can be resold or reused to make a new silver jewelry at a lower cost.
Biker clubs always have their emblem, worn as well on their leather jacket, tattooed on the body or worn proudly on a jewel.
In this case, this is a silver biker ring that receives the logo of the club, the sponsor belonging to a motorcycle club.
Their emblem depicts a custom pirate style skull with crossbones and a pirate headband on one of the skull's orbits.
Onyx stone is a fine stone that is neither rare nor precious, yet onyx is the most popular stone for making men's signet rings.
Much more than the signet rings with amethyst stone or turquoise.
As you certainly know, signet rings are the type of men's favorite ring. From a massive historical heritage, they give volume allowing all forms of customization possible.
We present here various achievements of men's signet rings adorned with a natural onyx stone.
The signet ring is a jewel of ancient origin, historically used by both women and men.
This is one of the few jewels that had a practical utility function, as it served as proof of identification, like today's digital signatures, in order to seal the letters with a wax seal. and legal acts (marriage, inheritance ...).
If the wearing of the signet ring meets the aesthetic and fashion today, precise rules governed the wearing of signet rings for the nobles during the Middle Ages.
The wearing of the signet ring changes according to the country, the sex and the time.

Cole Sprouse is baring it all.
The Riverdale recently recounted losing his virginity as a teenager, noting that the story behind his first sexual experience said "so much" about him.
"I was 14 when I lost my virginity, so this is still bowl-cut guy," Cole, now 30, recalled on the Call Her Daddy podcast March 8. "I was on a family trip in Florida, and I met this girl who was older, so that's already dubious. The first night we kind of made out, the second night—this makes me nervous, it's so cringey—I, like, knocked on her hotel door."
Soon after the duo made their way to the beach where Cole pulled a move that he says his twin brother Dylan Sprouse has never let him live down.
"I looked at her, and I was like, ‘So, are you like DTF?'" he revealed. "She goes, ‘What?' And I go, ‘You know, down to f--k?' I was 14."
When his date answered, "Sure," the Five Feet Apart actor issued a quick warning to his brother and friend Charlie, who was accompanying them on the trip, to vacate their shared room.
"We were all staying in the same hotel room because we were f--king 14," he recalled. "I was like, ‘Dude, you gotta get out of the room, man. I've got a girl coming over."
However, this plea for space brought its own set of issues for Dylan and Charlie, who Cole and his date ran into on the way back to their room.
"We pass each other, my brother looks at me and goes, ‘What the f--k are we supposed to do?' I looked at him, and I said another line that he's never forgiven me for," he shared. "I was like, ‘I dunno, go play chess or something.'"
And the event itself ended up being a bit anticlimactic. Cole said he "lasted about 20 seconds," and ultimately "ended up regretting that experience a little bit because I hadn't made it special at all."
However, it did lead to a valuable life lesson for the actor when it comes to romance.
"After that, I became truly a serial monogamist," the Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum said. "I went from long-term relationship to long-term relationship."
Among those relationships include his Riverdale co-star Lili Reinhart, who Cole dated for three years until their 2020 split. He told host Alex Cooper that although working together on the CW show was "really hard" for the pair after the split, they are now in a good place.
"We're good friends now, which is awesome," Cole—who is now dating Ari Fournier—said. "We work really well together now."

In his speech to the nation Costa stated that it is “unacceptable to maintain the levels of circulation within the public as was seen over the weekend”. He highlighted data from public transport and mobile networks which showed that over the past weekend there was only a reduction of around 30% in the circulation of people in Portugal.
He reiterated that what is important is not what prohibitions are being put in place but instead the importance of everyone protecting themselves, others and the National health Service (SNS) at this time.
The new rules include:
The prohibition of the sale or delivery or click and collect service of any non food goods, including clothing stores.
All food areas in the shopping centres are to be closed, even for take away.
All promotional campaigns and sales are prohibited that would encourage the movement of people.
Parks may remain open but nobody may stop in these areas.
Local councils are to limit access to areas that attract large concentrations of people such as riversides or sea fronts. The use of benches, play parks, sports equipment, even tennis and padel, are prohibited.
All workers who have to work outside the home must have a valid declaration to go to work. All service companies with more than 250 employees have 48 hours to submit a list of their essential workers.
It is prohibited to move between municipalities during the weekend.
All establishments of any type must close at 8pm on week days and at 1pm on weekends, with the exception of food stores that may remain open until 5pm on weekends
The government will now also reinforce the presence of police on the streets to enforce the lockdown rules across the country.
“This is not the time for parties or birthdays, the safety of the country is dependent on everyone, use a mask, wash your hands, maintain social distance, protect yourself and others, our health and that of everyone else is at stake,” said Costa.

PLF files brief in Proposition 13 case
Yesterday, PLF filed a friend-of-the-court brief in Young v. Schmidt. This is the case that challenges Proposition 13’s requirement that all new taxes imposed by the state Legislature pass by a two-thirds vote. As discussed, Charles Young—the plaintiff in the case and former UCLA chancellor—has argued that this section of Proposition 13 is illegal because it exceeds the scope of what voters may accomplish through the initiative power. Our brief refutes that argument by showing that the initiative power is the appropriate vehicle for instituting this type of legislative reform. Because ultimate political sovereignty in California rests with the people, the people have the power to insist that all new state taxes pass by a two-thirds legislative vote.

To all mothers and “mother-lovers”: Happy Mother’s Day. Last week I battled, and fortunately dodged, tornados in Alabama on a road trip with daughter, Greta, and Aunt Jane – as close to my mother as I can get, aside from dreamland. Every bolt of lightening, every wail of the siren was worth enduring. Certainly because I was surrounded by family and memories, but also because I could indulge in favorite “nursery” foods: hop ‘n john, greens, anything-fried-you-name-it, and grits – oh, those grits! – loaded with shrimp, butter, and andouille – the holy trinity of soul.
My sister-in-law made easy greens one night, using bags of collards and bacon, which inspired the following recipe. Upon my return to Ann Arbor, I purchased a Japanese varietal of turnips and their greens called Hakurei from Green Things Farm – a local farm that sells their produce every Wednesday at The Farm at St. Joes, as well as many other area farmer’s markets. Love that St. Joe’s puts their money where their mouth is: in disease prevention; the hospital actively grows their own produce and supports local farms, thus promoting healthy eating habits.
These are undoubtedly the best turnips I’ve eaten in my life. A bit less spicy than their brothers, the sweet bulbous turnips and their greens can be eaten raw or cooked, per recipe below. The turnips don’t get much bigger than the size of a golf ball, and the best thing about them is they don’t need peeling. Low-labor! The skin is as tender as the flesh.
My husband, Richard, and I have been in turnip paradise the past couple of weeks (we’re very good customers), and I’m happy to be spooning them up for Mother’s Day. I realize this is not traditional Mother’s Day fare. So here are some other (quite healthy for the most part) Mother’s Day blogs from years gone by: Waffles with Warm Strawberry Compote, Double Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Strawberry Syrup, Steak Diane, Grilled Salmon with Edamame and Oranges.

Terry McAuliffe is giving it a shot, one small
cluster at a time.
Wolffe Oct 4, 2007
Oct. 5, 2007 - The scene did not exactly reek of triumph. Just two dozen
supporters had gathered at the union hall
perched between a welding company and a gas station in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
room was two-thirds empty, the sign-up sheets on the walls blank. But that did
not deter Terry McAuliffe, the hyperkinetic chairman of
presidential campaign, as he tucked into his speech at the seventh event of his
long day. The campaign is on fire.
great, McAuliffe told the room.
McAuliffe can be forgiven his congenital enthusiasm. He had just helped Clinton
post impressive third-quarter fund-raising numbers outpacing her nearest rival, Sen. Barack Obama, in total dollar
amount as well as the tally of new
donors added to the rolls. A campaign that had already been taking on the aura
of inevitability suddenly surged
forward and was reflected in a fresh round of polls showing an ever-growing gap
between Clinton and the competition.
But McAuliffe wasn’t resting on his laurels. What happens in your state here is
going to be a huge determinant of who
the Democratic nominee for president is, he said. Don’t believe the polls. Four
of the last six polls have put
Hillary in the lead here. But we’re not in first place. We’re bunched up in a
three-way tie … We’ve got to run like
we’re 20 points behind. McAuliffe’s pitch is a sign of both the strength and the
weakness of the Clinton campaign in
Iowa. Taking nothing for granted, the Clinton juggernaut dispatches a key
lieutenant to canvas Iowa in a blue Chevy
Cobalt, meeting small clumps of supporters other campaigns might view as hardly
worth a major fund-raiser’s time.
(McAuliffe says he extends his audience by making hundreds of calls to voters
during his travel time.) But despite the
Clinton camp’s manifest advantages, they need McAuliffe on that road. The New
York senator’s position in Iowa is much
weaker than any other early voting state. While she may have opened up a
daunting lead in national polls33 points,
according to the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll she's neck-and-neck with
Obama and former senator John Edwards
in the Hawkeye State.
A defeat in the first-in-the-nation caucus could imperil
her lead in other early states, if the
pattern of previous elections is repeated. And an early loss would raise serious
questions about her campaign’s
biggest selling point: that she is strongest, most electable candidate in the
field. Even Clinton’s supporters in Iowa
Wally Horn, an Iowa state senator from Cedar Rapids, introduced
McAuliffe at the union hall Wednesday
evening. Horn, who has spent 35 years in the legislature, signed up with the
campaign after persistent pressure from
the candidate’s husband during the Clintons’ first campaign swing together in
early July. He asked me three times in
15 minutes, Horn said, recalling that Clinton had visited him as a sitting
president in 1994. Clinton’s finger-wagging message for Horn was simple: I want you to be for Hillary. But Horn
sounds more supportive of Bill than of
Hillary. You know when he walks in the room; you don’t need to look around, you
just know he’s there, he said.
What’s so sad, for me anyway, is he tries to hide it now because of Hillary. He
can explode a room, but he has to
keep low and small. Horn says he’s convinced that Hillary is ready to be
president. He just isn’t sure that Iowans
can be trusted to vote for her, even when they say they like her. I was a [Dick]
Gephardt supporter before, but
people didn’t show up at the precinct caucus, he said, referring to the former
House Democratic leader from Missouri
in the 2004 caucuses. In Iowa, people are so nice they’ll tell you they support
you, but then they don’t show up.
This is what concerns me about Hillary. You almost know it’s a natural for
people to get out for Obama to the
precinct caucus. But Hillary is going to have to get her people there, and it’s
not a natural. Horn’s views are
supported by the recent NEWSWEEK Poll, which showed a big gap between support
among registered Democrats and likely
caucus-goers. Among all Democrats in Iowa, Clinton enjoys a 6-point lead over
Obama. But among people likely to vote,
Obama is leading by 4 points. That 10-point spread suggests that Obama holds an
early advantage in organization and
enthusiasm. Over the next three months, much can change in Iowa; many
caucus-goers typically make up their minds in
the last month of campaigning. At this stage of the campaign four years ago,
John Kerry was universally written off as
dead in spite of his early front-runner status and his strong performance in the
Clinton might yet pull
away decisively from her rivals in Iowa. Or she may suffer a Dean-like crash.
But for the Clinton campaign, the lack
of obvious enthusiasm for the candidate is troubling. At the union hall in Cedar
Rapids, only two members of the
audience expressed a strong bond with the senator. One was an Arkansas
transplant; the other had recently hosted a
house party for the candidate. But if that bothered McAuliffe, he didn’t show it
as he primed the small crowd for a
campaign swing by Clinton herself early next week. In his mind, Hillary is the
only candidate who can defeat
Republican Rudy Giuliani in states like California and New York. And only
Clinton could lead the Democrats to a
One supporter piped up asking for advice on how to answer a
nagging question: why perpetuate the
Clinton-Bush dynastic hold on the White House? I understand since 1980 there has
been a Bush or Clinton on the
ticket, said McAuliffe, and I understand that people raise that issue. People
like something new. But with the
unique circumstances we have in the world, experience has to trump everything
else. You’ll always have candidates
that come up as an alternative to what people view as the inside. But what is
very unique now is it’s obviously war in
It’s Iran, it’s Afghanistan. You have Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar; all
these countries have issues today. It’s
about to explode in the Middle East! I just pray we can keep everything together
until we can get a new president in
office. I like new things, too. But when you’re in a difficult situation, I’ve
got to go with someone who can do the
job tomorrow. There’s no on-the-job training for Hillary. If that apocalyptic
argument didn't drive Iowans to caucus,
McAuliffe had one last plea. In three months, we can change the course of the
world, he said. I’m asking you, can
you give us an hour a day, two hours a day? In three months, this thing could be
over, and if we don’t do it, we’re
not going to win. We have got to fire people up.
The audience shuffled out, and
McAuliffe jumped in his car to the
Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign was designed
and built to be a dreadnought, an all-big-gun
battleship that would rule the waves without being
dented, slowed or thrown off course. But it has been
caught off guard by a submarine named Barack Obama,
running silent, running deep — until he surfaced
with a spectacular showing in the first round of
fund-raising numbers. What startled Clinton's team
was not just Obama's totals or his success at
drumming up contributions over the Internet, but
also how much he is collecting from the big donors
who have fueled Clinton enterprises for the past
decade and a half. "It was a real wake-up call,"
says a Clinton strategist.
Clinton's campaign still professes publicly to be
unperturbed, maintaining that it never believed the
race would be a cakewalk. "The game plan that we
began this campaign with is the game plan we are
using today," insists spokesman Phil Singer. But
Clinton's advisers privately acknowledge that she is
retooling her strategy on four fronts: intensifying
her fund-raising, emphasizing her experience and
policy depth (she's counting on the upcoming debates
to put those on display), pondering when and how to
go on the offensive against Obama and dusting off
the "two for the price of one" theme of her
husband's 1992 campaign. But this time it's Bill you
would get in the bargain.
fund-raising comes first. As her campaign chairman,
Terry McAuliffe, discovered, Obama "works
the phones like a dog. He probably did three to four
times the number of events she did" in the first
quarter. "No matter who I call," McAuliffe says, "he
has already called them three or four times." So
Clinton is stepping up the pace of her cash raising.
Instead of big galas, she will be doing more
fund-raisers in smaller settings that offer extra
attention from the candidate — especially for those
contributors who can pony up the maximum $4,600
total allowed by law for the primary and general
elections. Whereas her forces once warned donors
that it would be seen as an act of disloyalty to
contribute to anyone but Clinton, they are now
inviting Obama's fund-raisers to consider hedging
their bets by helping her too. And they are
reassuring a new and younger generation of
fund-raisers that despite the size of her operation,
there will be plenty of room at the table for them
and their ideas.
being added are "small dollar" events, like a recent
$100-a-head "Party on the Pier" at New York City's
Pier 94, which are useful for collecting not only
money but also e-mail addresses with which she might
blunt the advantage that Obama has on the Internet.
Having raised her money largely on the coasts until
now, Clinton is going inland. Invitations just went
out for a May 7 fund-raiser in Chicago, which is her
hometown — and Obama's political turf.
Attending all those events across the country,
however, means Clinton will have to spend far less
time in the Senate, a move that, aides say, she had
hoped to put off until later in the election season,
considering she was just reelected to a second term
last fall. Clinton's Senate record — and
particularly the skill she has shown working across
party lines — has been her answer to those who say
she is too polarizing to be elected. But as former
majority leader Bob Dole and others have learned,
the chamber isn't an ideal base from which to run a
Clinton's challenges go well beyond money, though.
She also has what Obama's handlers are calling an
"enthusiasm gap." The New York State Senator still
leads in most polls, but the latest Gallup survey
found that 52% of respondents have an unfavorable
view of her. Her favorable rating has dropped 13
percentage points since February, to 45%, and has
been below 50% in each of the past three Gallup
surveys. By comparison, Obama and former Senator
John Edwards, her two strongest rivals, registered
52% favorable ratings, and — more significantly —
their unfavorables were at about 30%.
Clinton is lavishing more attention on groups like
women, whom she considers her natural
constituencies. After radio host Don Imus got fired
for his controversial remarks about the Rutgers
women's basketball team, Clinton accepted a
long-standing invitation to speak on the campus
about women's equality. And both she and Obama are
aggressively courting African-American voters, who
are torn between their loyalty to the Clintons and
their excitement over the prospect of the first
black President. As Obama was telling his life story
during a recent appearance with Al Sharpton in New
York, Sharpton's cell phone rang. "Is that Hillary
calling?" Obama joked. "Breaking my flow?"
Clinton will also put in more time on the trail, as
well as in smaller sessions with donors and
activists. Part of his job has been to make the case
that his wife and Obama aren't so different in their
records on Iraq: though Obama opposed the Iraq
invasion as a Senate candidate, the former President
argues, Obama's voting on the war has been virtually
identical to Hillary's in the Senate. Bill has
"verged on feckless in this respect," grumbles a
leading Democratic fund raiser who has defected from
the Clinton camp to Obama's. Both Clintons have made
the case to potential fund-raisers that the U.S.
will probably suffer a terrorist attack on the scale
of 9/11 after the next President is sworn in — and
that Hillary is the only Democratic candidate
capable of handling such a crisis because of her
Senate Armed Services Committee tenure and her years
in the White House.
Hillary Clinton is also banking on the grueling
schedule of debates, which is "where she will
shine," says a strategist. "This will be her
strongest point. She knows this stuff inside out."
But her team says she is not yet ready to begin
challenging Obama directly on his lack of
specificity. That's because going on the attack
could further boost her negatives and create an
opening for Edwards, who has offered far more
detailed plans than she has on issues like health
care. "They are worried about both Obama and
Edwards," says an outside adviser. "They think if
Obama flames out, Edwards rises." And if that
happens, Hillary's team will have to consider a
course correction once again.
Terry McAuliffe is credited
with almost single-handedly bringing a financially ailing Democratic party out
of the red and into the black, securing a future for the blue.
At an early age, Terry McAuliffe started a
driveway maintenance company, earning money for contributions to the campaigns
of candidates he thought could make a difference.
That passion led to
establishing more than two-dozen companies in the fields
of banking, insurance, marketing, and real estate,
rebuilding and revitalizing the Democratic Ticket.
After graduating from
Terry McAuliffe served as the
finance chairman of the Carter-Mondale reelection
committee. Establishing himself as a proven wrangler of
donor support, he was appointed national finance
chairman of the Gephardt for President Committee,
national finance chairman, and national co-chairman of
the Clinton-Gore reelection committee.
The life of
the party. His
tenacity proved especially impacting after the 2000
election, when the Democratic party was bankrupt and
decades behind the times in acquiring voter and donor
lists. Pressing state chairmen to give up exclusive
control of their voter lists, Terry McAuliffe invested
millions in a new headquarters, gambling that the party
could mount a challenge to the wealthy GOP and its
peerless fundraising efforts.
Every high-risk tactic
paid off. The Democratic National Committee built an
extensive voter roster, enabling the party to develop a
strong direct-mail donor list. And, the DNC's new
headquarters and infrastructure enabled their operation
to utilize the Internet and modern facilities --
producing state-of-the-art telecommunications and public
relations media. While chairman of the DNC, Terry
McAuliffe raised over $535 million dollars, shattering
all previous records for funds raised by either party.
Under Chairman McAuliffe's tenure, for the first time in
Democratic Party history, the DNC was debt free and
out-raised the RNC.
McAuliffe gained national attention during the
presidential election of 1980 when he wrestled an
alligator to raise $15,000 dollars in funds. Since that
feat, he has continued to demonstrate a drive and
commitment that have helped elect Democrats for more
than 25 years.
Some of Terry
McAuliffe's success at engaging crowds can be attributed
in part to his trademark gravel-voiced charm and
Cheshire cat smile -- but more important, to his
business acumen and communication skills. It's difficult
not to be engaged by his droll, no-nonsense presence.
His abilities to rev-up party supporters and gain the
respect of his Republican critics have been key to
becoming the most successful fundraiser in modern
political history. Serving as the chairman of both the
53rd Presidential Inaugural Committee and the White
House Millennium Celebration, Terry McAuliffe's
leadership and creativity helped the Democrats skyrocket
20 points in the polls during the 2000 Democratic
National Convention. He is currently serving as the
chairman of Hillary Clinton for President.
New York Times and Washington Post
best-selling first book, titled What a Party!: My
Life Among Democrats: Presidents, Candidates, Donors,
Activists, Alligators and Other Wild Animals was
released in January 2007, to rave reviews from critics
and insiders on both ends of the political spectrum.

Terry McAuliffe Biography
Terry McAuliffe lives in McLean, Virginia, with his wife Dorothy and five
children. He is an attorney and is licensed to practice in the District of
Columbia and the United States Supreme Court. He has successfully started more
than two-dozen companies in the fields of banking, insurance, marketing and real
Terry McAuliffe Family and education
Terry McAuliffe grew up in Syracuse, New York; his father was treasurer of the
local Democratic organization. He started his first business, McAuliffe
Driveway Maintenance, at the age of 14. In 1979, he received a bachelors degree
from Catholic University in Washington, D.C. After graduation, McAuliffe took a
job in the 1980 presidential reelection campaign of Jimmy Carter. After the
campaign, McAuliffe enrolled in law school at Georgetown University. He received
a Juris Doctor degree in 1984.
Terry McAuliffe Career
Terry McAuliffe served as Chairman of the Federal City National Bank by the age
of 30. From 1985-87, McAuliffe served as finance director of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee. During the 1988 presidential campaign, he
served as finance chairman for Dick Gephardt. During the 1996 election cycle, he
served as national finance chairman and then national co-chairman of the
Clinton-Gore re-election committee. In 1997, he was chairman of the 53rd
Presidential Inaugural Committee. In 1999 he was chairman of the White House
In 2000, Terry McAuliffe chaired a tribute to outgoing President Bill Clinton,
which set a fundraising record for a single event. The same year, he chaired
the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. Following the convention,
the Democratic ticket received a significant bounce in the polls. In February
2001, McAuliffe was elected as the chairman of the DNC. McAuliffe served until
February 2005, presiding over a period of record fundraising wherein the DNC
raised more than $535 million, outraising the RNC and emerging from debt for the
first time in party history. McAuliffe built a new headquarters and created a
computer database of more than 170 million potential voters known as "Demzilla".
Under his tenure, the Democrats lost House and Senate seats in the 2002 and 2004
Congressional elections, while their Democratic nominee narrowly lost the 2004
presidential election. In 2002, McAuliffe drew some controversy when he
announced that he would not channel funds towards Carl McCall's campaign for
Governor of New York. Congressman Charles B. Rangel protested that this would
alienate the black vote and McAuliffe reversed himself. McCall was defeated
by a large margin by incumbent George Pataki.
Terry McAuliffe stepped down as DNC chair in January 2005. As a former party
chairman, McAuliffe is one of the roughly 796 superdelegates to the 2008
Democratic National Convention.
On January 23, 2007, his book, What A Party! My Life Among Democrats:
Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators, and Other Wild Animals,
was released and debuted at #5 on the New York Times Bestseller list and #1 on
the Washington Post's list.
Terry McAuliffe Controversies
Terry McAuliffe has been criticized by political commentators such as William
Safire  and Arianna Huffington  for his ties to Global Crossing, a
company that went bankrupt in 2002 amidst what The New York Times called
"many of the same accusations that have made Enron into one of the largest
corporate scandals in history."
In 1997, McAuliffe purchased a pre-IPO $100,000 stake in Global Crossing. By
1999, McAuliffe sold his investment, which was then valued at $18 million
dollars. Howard Kurtz of CNN reported that McAuliffe sold his shares years
before there was "any hint of trouble with the company."
In March 2004, former Global Crossing executives paid $325 million without
acknowledgment of wrongdoing to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging fraud. In
April 2005, former executives agreed to pay fines for failing to disclose
"material information" in the company's financial reports, settling a three-year
inquiry by the Security and Exchange Commission.
Rick Perlstein, in his book review of McAuliffe's memoir, What a Party!, wrote
that McAuliffe's involvement with Global Crossing compromised McAuliffe's
ability to attack Republican ties to the Enron scandal during the 2002 midterm
congressional elections. Republicans ended up winning a majority in the U.S.
Senate.  Frank Rich of The New York Times contrasted McAuliffe's
characterization of Enron as "a web of greed and deceit" with Mcauliffe's
defense of his investment in Global Crossing.
Herman v. Moore
In 1999, the U.S. Department of Labor sued Jack Moore, pension fund manager for
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, on the basis of several
deals made with McAuliffe. In one deal, McAuliffe and the pension fund partnered
to buy commercial property in Florida, with Terry McAuliffe investing $100 while
the pension fund put up $39 million. McAuliffe received a 50% interest in the
partnership and emerged with $2.45 million from his original $100 investment.
The lawsuit was called Herman v. Moore, with Alexis Herman, the Secretary of
Labor, as the plaintiff. In October 2001, Moore and another union official
agreed to pay six-figure penalties for their roles in the deals and the union
agreed to reimburse the pension fund. McAuliffe was not charged with wrongdoing.
Terry McAuliffe, whom we ought to call the Manchurian Chairman, hit a new low
Sunday, saying on ABC's "This Week": "George Bush never served in our military
in our country. He didn't show up when he should have showed up. And there's
John Kerry on the stage with a chest full of medals that he earned by saving the
lives of American soldiers. So, as John Kerry says, 'Bring it on!'"
McAuliffe is to politics what MTV is to Superbowl halftime shows: Low, tacky,
and a failure. He is also increasingly unstable to the point that Democratic
Party pros have to worry about what he'll say next. Yesterday's pratfall was a
perfect example of an attention-starved ego diverting the press from the themes
that the candidates are trying to develop onto a stupid comment and the clean-up
McAuliffe has long been a candidate message-killer – so much so that the
anti-Clinton wing of the Dems suspects he's programmed to take down anyone who
gets in the way of Hillary's potential run in '08. Crackpot allegations from the
Begala school of broadcasting sure don't help the Kerry campaign, so you have to
wonder about the Manchurian Chairman theory, though I think the evidence
supports the much more simple proposition that McAuliffe is a world-class fool
with too much money and powerful friends who didn't think about the Peter
Principle until it was too late.
The Dems are stuck with McAuliffe through the convention, for which the
Republican Party should be thankful. Having a buffoon in charge of the
opposition is the sort of gift that keeps giving, as anyone who can recall
McAuliffe's '02 prediction about the Florida governor's race or his '03
prediction about the California recall will attest.
McAuliffe's decision to deny that service in the national guard is service in
the military – even as thousands of national guard have served in Iraq – is a
blunder larger than any of his others, and trafficking in discredited urban
myths gives you a glimpse of McAuliffe's desperation to turn the conversation to
anything except Kerry's way-left voting record, or his role in the Dean
meltdown, or the failure of Wes Clark to capture any significant support outside
the loon caucus.
For the record: President Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard from May
of 1968 to October of 1973. The long-ago discredited allegations that the
president was AWOL (Absent WithOut Leave) are a feature of the Michael Moore
crowd who point to a period of months when Bush was working on a campaign in
Alabama, from May to November 1972, and did not fly. As the New York Times has
reported in the past: "A National Guard official and Mr. Bush's spokesmen have
said that he made up the missed dates, as Guard regulations allow."
Republican National Committee Chair Ed Gillespie labeled McAuliffe's lies
"slanderous," "despicable," and "reprehensible" – which they are – but not even
the dimwits in the national press corps are going to chase that rabbit, so only
McAuliffe and the party he leads look bad as a result.
I hope the RNC provides a 24x7 cable show for McAuliffe and, in the interim,
invites all those outraged with yet another clownish moment from the Alfred E.
Neuman of American politics to skip the getting mad and go straight to the
getting even via a donation at GeorgeWBush.com.
BUSINESS WEEK, DECEMBER 22,
1997: The U. S. Attorney's Office in Washington is trying to learn more about
how McAuliffe earned a lucrative fee in helping Prudential Insurance Co. of
America lease a downtown Washington building to the government. Prudential just
settled a civil case involving that lease for over $300,000 without admitting
any liability .... The Labor Dept. is probing McAuliffe real estate deals that
were bankrolled by a union pension fund .... And Labor Dept. probes are looking
at possible conflicts of interest in at least two of McAuliffe's Florida real
estate deals that were bankrolled by International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers pension money. Investigators want to know why McAuliffe got what look
like very sweet deals.
WASHINGTON POST, JANUARY 12,
1998: McAuliffe, the premier Democratic fund-raiser of the decade, has spent
much of the past 12 months dealing with hostile Republican investigators,
federal prosecutors and adverse news stories. He has emerged as a key, but
enigmatic, figure in two overlapping federal investigations: the broadening
inquiry into illegal fund-raising on the part of the Teamsters union conducted
by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York, and the Justice Department's
investigation into alleged 1995-96 Democratic presidential fund-raising abuses.
In addition, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Columbia investigated
McAuliffe's role in the award of a $160.5 million federal lease, but decided
against bringing criminal charges. . . McAuliffe has given depositions to
federal prosecutors and congressional investigators, but he has not been called
to testify publicly, and he has not been charged with any crime .... McAuliffe's
success has come from his knack for being in the middle of a deal while
maintaining a critical distance. For almost 17 years - as broker, lawyer,
promoter and facilitator - McAuliffe had estimated with uncanny precision the
sustainable distance between contributor and candidate, as well as between
seller and buyer.
ASSOCIATED PRESS: The Labor
Department is suing two union officials alleging they invested pension funds in
"imprudent" deals with companies owned by a top fund-raiser for President
Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Terence McAuliffe, the fund-raiser who
recently offered to help the Clintons purchase a home in New York, is not a
defendant in the lawsuit. The Labor Department regulates those who manage
workers' pensions, not those who do business with such funds. The lawsuit says
that in one instance McAuliffe made $2.45 million on a deal in which the fund
bought him out of a real estate partnership. He had invested $100, the pension
fund $39 million .... The department alleges the pension fund lost money as a
result of a loan and a partnership deal that comprised more than $47 million in
investments with McAuliffe's companies. Tax records show the fund didn't receive
all the principal and interest due under the loan.
WALL STREET JOURNAL: In his
defense of the [Clinton house] loan, Mr. McAuliffe asks: What can Bill Clinton
do for me? For starters, he could make it tough for the U.S. Attorney's office
to get to the bottom of Mr. McAuliffe's oft-denied role in the sleazy 1996
"contributions swap" between the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and
the Teamsters union .... What Terry McAuliffe did in essence is make a
contribution to Hillary's campaign. Its whole purpose is to enable her to
establish residence in New York, thus the money is absolutely essential to her
campaign .... In the Hillary race, no McAuliffe "loan," no residency, no
campaign. His contribution would seem to be more than $1,000.
AND THERE'S THE LITTLE MATTER
reported by John McCaslin in the Washington Times: Chapter 5 of the Federal
Elections Commission's guide for candidates states: "An endorsement or guarantee
of a bank loan is considered a contribution by the endorser or guarantor and is
thus subject to the law's prohibitions and limits on contributions."
JUDICIAL WATCH: By law, neither
the President of the United States, nor any other federal employee, can
supplement his income with cash gifts. So Bill Clinton, as President, can't use
cash gifts to pay off his legal bills or supplement his income. Therefore he
cannot use cash gifts to qualify for a mortgage. It is also improper for banks
or other lenders to count the Clintons' future earnings potential when
considering them for a mortgage. One qualifies for a mortgage based on current
earnings and savings, not pie-in-the-sky future earnings "estimates."
NEW YORK TIMES: A former
Democratic official has testified that Terence McAuliffe, President Clinton's
friend and chief fund-raiser, played a major role in promoting an illegal scheme
in which Democratic donors were to contribute to the Teamster president's
re-election campaign, and in exchange the Teamsters were to donate large sums to
the Democrats. The official, Richard Sullivan, the Democratic National
Committee's former finance director, testified in Manhattan at the trial of
William Hamilton, the Teamsters former political director, that McAuliffe urged
him and other fund-raisers to find a rich Democrat to donate at least $50,000 to
the 1996 re-election campaign of Ron Carey, the former Teamsters president.
During the three-week-long trial, Sullivan testified that McAuliffe had said
that if a Democratic donor made a large contribution to the Carey campaign, then
the Teamsters would contribute at least $500,000 to various Democratic Party
committees . . . McAuliffe's lawyer, Richard Ben-Veniste, said his client had
done nothing wrong.
Terry McAuliffe Is Dems'
DNC Chair Fought for Stability, Financial Strength
By Thomas B.
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, July 26, 2004
BOSTON, July 25 -- On
Monday night, Terence R. McAuliffe's party will hail him as a hero, the first
Democratic chairman in decades to put the party on secure financial footing --
with an unheard-of $70 million in the bank -- and on the cutting edge of
When McAuliffe gavels the
Democratic convention to order at FleetCenter, he will be honored by the 5,672
delegates and alternates as the man who almost single-handedly put the
Democratic Party back together again.
"Serving as chairman of the
party when you don't have the White House, and you don't have the House, and you
don't have the Senate, is the toughest job in the country," Sen. John F. Kerry
(D-Mass.) told The Washington Post. "Thanks to Terry McAuliffe, we are ready to
lead this country, we're ready to change this nation and I thank him for his
But McAuliffe has not
always enjoyed such a lofty standing in his party. Just six years ago, he
struggled to survive federal investigations of illicit Teamsters campaign
contributions to the party and his fundraising role as national finance chairman
and then national co-chairman of the 1996 Clinton-Gore reelection campaign.
At the nadir of his
political career, McAuliffe threatened to give up politics forever. "My wife and
I decided I don't want to do it anymore. I ought to be left alone," McAuliffe
said during the federal inquiries. "I'm not doing money anymore," he declared.
"I'm not involved in any campaigns."
after he was absolved of any wrongdoing. In 2001, with a helpful nudge from Bill
Clinton, he was elected Democratic National Committee chairman, only to become
the target of grass-roots fury. Loyal Democrats, dismayed by the election of
George W. Bush, complained that their leaders in Congress were acceding to the
new Republican president on everything from Iraq to tax cuts. The outrage fueled
demands that McAuliffe resign after the party lost House and Senate seats in the
Zack Exley, an Internet
aficionado who worked at MoveOn.org, set up a Web site in 2002 that declared:
"Don't blame the American people! Blame the Democratic Party leadership. Terry
McAuliffe is an idiot."
McAuliffe recalled in a
recent interview that "in 2000, we had a devastating loss. This party was
demoralized in 2001, people were madder than heck at the party. 'Why did we
allow this to happen?' and 'Why didn't we fight harder?' . . . We went through a
very tough time in 2002 after the midterm election."
McAuliffe said that after
passage of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law that prevented the parties
from raising and spending unregulated "soft money" from corporations, unions and
wealthy individuals, many "wrote off" the Democratic Party. "It was one of the
darkest times in our party," he said.
McAuliffe fought back.
He forced a controversial change in the primary campaign schedule and pressed
state chairmen to give up exclusive control of their voter lists. He also
invested millions in a new headquarters, and gambled that the party could mount
a challenge to the GOP's three decades of dominating fundraising.
Every one of these
high-risk tactics paid off. The schedule change gave Kerry time to raise more
than $200 million; the DNC now has a voter list with information on more than
170 million people, which allows the party to develop its own direct-mail donor
list. The new headquarters, in turn, is wired to run an operation increasingly
dependent on the Internet and the facilities to produce all forms of
telecommunications and traditional media.
Exley is now one of the key
architects of Kerry's successful Internet fundraising operation, an operation
that will soon be restructured to redirect its hundreds of thousands of donors
to McAuliffe's DNC.
Donna Brazile, who was Al
Gore's campaign manager and one of McAuliffe's early critics, has done an
about-face. "We boxed," she said. "He has been punched, believe me." Now, she
said, "Terry has put the party in a strong strategic position."
McAuliffe first gained
attention in the presidential election of 1980, wrestling an alligator on a
fundraising prospect's dare. His major claim to fame in the 1980s and 1990s was
raising "soft money" contributions in amounts ranging from $100,000 to more than
$1 million. Now, as DNC chairman, McAuliffe has become the champion of the
direct-mail and Internet small giver.
While many assumed the 2002
McCain-Feingold law would gut the Democratic Party, the party has decisively
broken all "hard money" fundraising records (contributions of $25,000 or less),
eliminated debt and built a donor base that could potentially power the party
for years with McAuliffe at the helm.
McAuliffe expects that when
his term ends in early 2005, "I am going to walk off the stage and everything we
said will have been accomplished. . . . The new chairman, whoever it might be,
will take over a party financed by millions of dollars that will automatically
come in at the touch of a button, new facilities, no debt and voter files. This
party is now secure for 25 years."

Robert L. Coleman, MD, FACOG, FACS, reviews the treatment landscape of cervical cancer and identifies recent approvals that have improved patient care.
Robert L. Coleman, MD, FACOG, FACS: Lately, we’ve been in a great situation of being able to talk about advances in cervical cancer management, the greatest of which has probably been a global adoption of vaccination campaigns. While the end results of these efforts probably won’t be realized for decades, the impact of the preinvasive component of this disease is already being observed. In areas where there’s a high vaccination rate and low patient trafficking in and out of a geographical environment, we’re seeing near resolution of high-grade cervical dysplasia. These are the important precursors of the development of cervical cancer. We expect these campaigns to ultimately lead to a reduction in cervical cancer incidence. That’s a tremendous change.
We’re going to talk about treatment. There are a lot of new opportunities in cervical cancer that have come on the coattails of our understanding of how immunotherapy and other agents are behaving with respect to cervical cancer biology. It’s a very exciting time for a disease that we ultimately hope to eradicate because it’s viral induced. For the unfortunate patients that we have to treat, we’re seeing some new opportunities.
We employ 3 treatment modalities that we use for the care of women with the diagnosis of cervical cancer: surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy has now been augmented with a new class of drugs that we call biologicals. Those biologicals include factors that involve targeting angiogenesis and factors such as the tumor immune microenvironment. Over the past couple of decades, we’ve seen nuanced use of those modalities. Sometimes all of them are used. But in cases of early-stage disease, surgery alone can be curative, as can radiation therapy alone. In more advanced stages, we start to incorporate chemotherapy and radiation. For patients who have had recurrent disease, sometimes there’s a surgical option. It’s a radical option, but sometimes there’s a surgical option. Then the modalities will be used to address systemic disease, so they can be used in different formats for that particular approach.
Some of the recent advancements have all happened within the last 12 months. We’re very excited to have something to talk about in this particular setting, but they have piggybacked on incremental advances we’ve seen, mostly in the setting of recurrent and metastatic disease, where we have iteratively increased the overall survival expectations by adding drugs to a chemotherapy backbone. Probably the most recent major advance we saw was the addition of bevacizumab to platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced-stage and recurrent cervical cancer.
The crop of trials that we started to see emerge onto the environment looked at the addition of immunotherapy. We initially saw the approval of pembrolizumab, which gained accelerated approval in patients who had PD-L1–positive cervical cancer. Shortly thereafter, earlier this year, we saw the results of a phase 3 trial with another immune checkpoint inhibitor called cemiplimab, which demonstrated improvement in progression-free and overall survival, and objective response over single-agent chemotherapy. That added a second agent to this immunotherapy portfolio. Most recently, we saw the addition of pembrolizumab to the GOG 240 regimen, which was what I just mentioned: the addition of bevacizumab to the chemotherapy backbone in patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage or recurrent cervix cancer. That also demonstrated an improvement in progression-free and overall survival. That led to our most recent approval of pembrolizumab, not only in that setting but also full approval in the recurrent setting as a single agent. Those were tremendous advances.
Then new to the scene was a cytotoxic agent called tisotumab vedotin, which was studied and demonstrated single-agent activity in patients with recurrent cervical cancer. This led to accelerated approval for that agent. It’s been a fantastic year with so many new options for our patients.

The message is clear. The lead single by Crooked I lets the world know that It's Still The Row! Tha Row Records (formerly Death Row Records) will release the soundtrack to 'DysFunKtional Family' on March 25th with Crooked I leading the assault.
The track features Crooked I and newcomer Virginia Slim on the offensive, targeting the police department for the recent raids on their company. Standard practice for a Row release is the dissing of former artists and as per usual, Crook throws shots at Snoop Dogg on the lead single and word is Kurupt will also speak his thoughts. This time the attack on Snoop is not unprovoked following his release last year 'Pimp Slapp'd'
Other names to appear on the soundtrack include Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Juvenile, Danny Boy, Kurupt, Michel'le, Eastwood, and N.I.N.A. (the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes).

The newest issue of Foreign Affairs features the theme of “America’s Forgotten Wars”, with a cover illustration that juxtaposes a carefree scene of Americans enjoying a picnic with a scene of American soldiers fighting and incurring casualties in some sandy and desolate battle space. The picture depicts truthfully the detachment between, on one hand, the daily interests and attitudes of most Americans and, on the other hand, the disturbing reality of the United States being engaged continuously in a variety of lethal military operations in multiple lands overseas. Andrew Bacevich has elsewhere provided several reasons why, as he puts it, “the vast majority of the American people could not care less” that their country has become mired in what amounts to permanent warfare abroad. These reasons include, for example, that the true costs of these military expeditions have not been completely tabulated and that “blather crowds out substance” in American public discourse about foreign policy.
The pattern of permanent U.S. involvement in warfare, which has prevailed for the past sixteen years, departs markedly from what had been the traditional American approach toward war and peace, and therein lies an additional set of reasons why Americans at home are not now up in arms over how fellow citizens have had to take up arms and fight endlessly overseas. That tradition grew up throughout the nineteenth century and was cemented by America’s greatest overseas military effort ever: World War II. The tradition was one of war being a relatively infrequent necessity that involved the United States sallying forth to slay a clearly defined monster of the moment and then, after a clear and victorious ending, returning to peacetime pursuits.
As I have discussed at greater length elsewhere, the application of this template of what war is expected to look like—and especially the expectation that any war will have a definite, identifiable end—has entailed numerous problems when applied to more continuous American activities abroad. The problems have included the quandary of what to do about some of the detainees at Guantanamo. The past experience of holding prisoners of war until the end of hostilities does not apply, not only because of any distinction between legal and illegal combatants but also because events that led to the current detentions will never get to a point that can be identified as the end of hostilities. Another problem has been the difficulty Congress has had in exercising its constitutional responsibility to define clearly the objective and scope of U.S. involvement in any foreign war.
The mental template of finite war also underlies the carefree American public attitude toward the unending American involvement in warfare abroad. At some level of the American psyche is the belief that today’s combat, like most of yesteryear’s, will have a clear (and victorious) end. Thus most Americans feel no need to contemplate and discuss what ought to be the very disturbing prospect that Americans will be fighting abroad forever.
That the current unending warfare was launched as a so-called “war on terror” has added significantly to these problems. (Bacevich lists as another of his reasons for the acceptance of permanent war that “terrorism gets hyped and hyped and hyped some more.”) The “war on terror” label, and the associated concept, never were logical. As the late Zbigniew Brzezinski once commented, calling this a war on terror makes as much sense as calling World War II the “war on blitzkrieg”. Terrorism is a tactic that has been used for millennia, and in that regard the countering of it is endless. The “war” terminology also has encouraged the excessive militarization of counterterrorism.
On top of this was George W. Bush’s encouragement to Americans to respond to terrorism by going shopping and to "get down to Disney World in Florida…take your families and enjoy life, the way we want it to be enjoyed." These words were in one sense prudent advice not to do terrorists’ work for them by overreacting with fear. But they also encouraged the very sort of detachment and lack of concern about endless warfare that is depicted on the Foreign Affairs cover.
Added to this are additional American tendencies in thinking about America’s involvement with the world—especially the tendency to believe that any problem abroad can be solved with enough determination and effort, and that the United States is the party that should take the lead in solving it. There is great reluctance to leave any situation that still looks like a mess, because the leaving looks like failure, regardless of what specific U.S. objectives may have been accomplished. These American habits of thought are added to the more general human tendency to treat sunk costs as investments. The result is recurrent mission creep, in which expeditions that began in the name of countering terrorism morph into a nation-building enterprise or an effort to counter the influence of some other state.

New Delhi: The BCCI may have created extremely popular and successful Indian Premier League (IPL) but the Indian board has not done “enough” to market Test cricket, revered by the purists, says former India opener Gautam Gambhir.
Known for his straight talking, the two-time World Cup winner put forth his point in presence of CoA chief Vinod Rai and CEO Rahul Johri.
“I don’t think BCCI has marketed Test cricket as well as they have done with ODIs and T20s. I remember a Test match at Eden Gardens against West Indies (in 2011). India batting on the first day and there were 1000 people,” Gambhir said.
“Imagine Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman playing and there are only 1000 people,” the senior opener said during launch of cricket historian Boria Majumdar’s book ‘Eleven Gods and Billion Indians’.

Killer 'threatened to murder neighbour' before Poundland attack
A killer who fatally stabbed a man in a Poundland store had previously threatened to murder his neighbour, an inquest has heard.
Trevor Joyce attacked Justin Skrebowski with a knife from a shop in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in December 2015.
Dr Phil Davison told Oxford Coroner's Court he was admitted and discharged from a mental health centre after he confessed to threatening a neighbour.
In 2016, Joyce was jailed for life after pleading guilty to manslaughter.
He was charged with murder, but admitted the lesser charge on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was ordered to serve a minimum of nine years.
The inquest, which opened earlier, will examine the treatment given to Joyce, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Davison, from Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, said Joyce's mental health had started to "deteriorate" prior to the attack.
In October 2015 he was arrested four times in one week, had started carrying a knife, and placed a death threat through his neighbour's door before he was voluntarily admitted to Littlemore Mental Health Centre.
The psychiatrist said Joyce told him he knocked on his neighbour's door and would have killed them, had they been in.
Dr Davison sent an email asking to be consulted before Joyce was discharged but told the inquest this did not happen.
Six weeks after being allowed to leave on 28 October, Joyce killed Mr Skrebowski, an antiques dealer and who had been buying balloons for his wife's birthday.
Joyce was diagnosed with a psychotic illness in 1997 and had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act on three occasions.
Following his death Mr Skrebowski's wife Gulsen Alken has fought for tighter restrictions on the sale of knives in shops, and pushed for the inquest to take place.
It is scheduled to run for two weeks, with more than 40 people due to give evidence.

Then, too, there is the team of three 10th-grade girls from the Masters School, a private elementary and high school in Dobbs Ferry. They go by the name of Jacyurmar, a fusion of the first three letters of each girl's first name. The girls said they meet for an average of 20 minutes a day to see how the market is affecting their holdings. ''I've definitely learned from this,'' Marissa Riviello, one of the girls, said. ''It's fun.''
And there is Mr. Gurney's Entrepreneurs. The club predates CNBC's tournament. Founded several years ago, the group is a mixture of grades and races. Its members include Brandon Woods and Irene Morales, both seniors.
As her club's lone girl, Irene said: ''At first, I was really intimidated by the others who knew what they were doing. I guess I've learned since then, that as much as people think this is a man's world, a woman can be involved. With a will to succeed, anything's possible.''
Brandon, too, is upbeat, based on his three years with the club. ''I think, with the economy doing well, there's definitely momentum for minorities in the market,'' he said. ''I read things like Black Enterprise, and I'm finding there's much opportunity for us. I really have learned from this contest. It has made me think about being a stockbroker, a trader, in the future.''
With Mr. Gurney as supervisor, the New Rochelle team has to perform a balancing act, considering the students' varying approaches to the market. For instance, Michael Queller, a self-described gambler, takes an aggressive stance, with the club and in his personal investments. Mr. Gurney is also more than a player on paper. The two often meet informally during the day to compare notes. ''Whatever company I'm invested in at home, I'm invested in for the school competition,'' Michael said.
His approach is tempered by Rick Gottlieb, the team researcher -- Mr. Gurney's term -- and Brandon, who takes an interest in both history and the long term.
Mr. Gurney seems to take satisfaction from the club.
''I tell my students, 'I just want you to be passionate about something in life, whether it's stocks, sports, drama, history,' '' he said. ''When we have stock club meetings, the kids are definitely passionate. It's enjoyable to be around.''
No report on school investment clubs in Westchester would be complete without mention of the Hackley Hornets of the Hackley School in Tarrytown. Last year they placed first in the CNBC tournament. School administrators are now considering how to use the club's winnings of $18,000. Their choices include authorizing students to invest the money in the market, using the money to start a scholarship fund or putting the money in the school's general fund.
The Hornets' faculty adviser, Jenny Lyons, called Aaron Siegel the force behind the school's victory. Aaron is looking into new competitions for the investment club, one of which is sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank.
As for the CNBC tournament, Aaron said: ''It takes the mists away from how the market works and allows you to see how it actually is. For us, it has been a remarkable experience.''

Almost 90 per cent of temporary skilled migrants who were granted Subclass 457 visas in 2009-10 to date are managers and professional workers, new figures show.
The average total salary package for all new Australian temporary skilled migrant workers is almost $100,000 – an increase of $10,000 on the same time last year.
The highest paid workers on a Subclass 457 Australia visa were in the mining industry, with an average total remuneration of $169,000, followed by the financial and insurance services sector at $127,600.
Temporary skilled overseas workers in Western Australia were the highest paid with an average total remuneration of $114 800, followed by New South Wales ($101,100), Queensland ($97,900), Victoria ($94,200), Tasmania ($94,100), Northern Territory ($85,500), ACT ($83,600) and South Australia ($81,700).
The summary report also showed a quarter of all primary visa applications granted have been to citizens of the United Kingdom with 15 per cent to citizens of India and eight per cent to US citizens.
Registered nurses, doctors and computing professionals are the top occupations for primary Australian visa grants.
The Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans said in a statement that these latest figures show that the Subclass 457 visa program is responding to the changes made by the Rudd Government to protect local jobs.

The National Sleep Foundation recommends 14 to 17 hours of sleep for newborns, and 12 to 15 hours of sleep for infants. However, as many caretakers know, ensuring children achieve the optimal amount of sleep can be difficult. As a result, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. (“Johnson & Johnson” or the “Company”) created “J&J’s Bedtime” line of baby products to help babies sleep. Unfortunately, many customers who bought J&J’s Bedtime products were disappointed by the results.
In 2010, Stephanie Leiner (“Leiner”) filed suit against Johnson & Johnson alleging its claims that Bedtime products were “clinically proven” to help babies sleep better were deceptive. Leiner alleged the Company tested all products together as part of a treatment routine to aid sleep, but that labels deceived customers to believe that each individual product, independently, would aid sleep. Between 2010 and 2016 the Company sold 30 million Bedtime products.
After years of litigation, led by our partners, James Shah, Natalie Finkelman Bennett, and Jayne Goldstein, U.S. District Judge Elaine E. Bucklo granted final approval of a $5 million settlement for the class on January 18, 2017. Around 300,000 claims were filed out of a potential class of nearly 13 million individuals. As outlined in the settlement, the Company has also changed its labels to reference the routine.

Total teledensity reached 77.2 percent at the end of March, 2019 compared to 74.1 percent at the end of last fiscal year 2017-18.
Minsiter said according to Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA), 75% cellular teledensity in Pakistan gives the hope of reaching inclusions milestones sooner than later.
With the focus to enhance the momentum of teledensity growth in the rural areas of Pakistan, the prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, announced the launch of cellular services during his visit to the area in November, 2018.
A survey conducted by LirneAsia, a Sri Lanka based think-tank, in 2000 households among a sample population aged between 15-65 years revealed evidence contrary to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority's (PTA) claims of high teledensity in the country.
56 million by the end of August 2018 with teledensity of 28.
The PTA claims that the cellular teledensity in Pakistan is roughly 73% - the number of cellular subscribers divided by the total population.
It also revealed that teledensity rose by 143 in May to 11,609 as against 11,466 in April.
The overall teledensity in India increased from 89.90 at the end of December 2016 to 91.90 at the end of December 2017 at the growth rate of 2.22%.
Pakistan itself, as a market for people centric mobile based applications and products is ready for the next level of development with state-of-the-art and ubiquitous connectivity structure through fixed and mobile networks having a teledensity of more than 71% which is increasing every month.

I love Crab Rangoon! I was going to retell this story from a similar recipe, but decided to give you the link instead. I had another plan for the mini phyllo shells, but threw this all together for a Christmas Day nibble. They were devoured in minutes! Definitely serve with Frank's RedHot Sweet Chili sauce! Also, use a decent quality or fresh crab. I used a can of "fancy" crab, and it was just okay. The recipe would benefit from nice chunks of crab, versus mine that just kind of had an essence of crab flavor.
Crab Rangoon Bites
from Iowa Girl Eats
6 oz crab
8 oz 1/3-less fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream (I used low-fat)
2 green onions, chopped
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground ginger
30 frozen phyllo shells (2 15-count packs)
Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and ground ginger into a bowl and use a hand mixer until smooth. Fold in crab, then spoon mixture into phyllo cups, filling to the top, and place on the baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, until shells are golden brown around the edges.

Team Obama's Big Bird ad has more that 2.1 million views on YouTube, yet the campaign seems eager to move on.
The ad, which was produced in response to Mitt Romney's statement during the presidential debate that he would "stop the subsidy to PBS," has been mocked by late night comics for being trivial and denounced by public television executives for politicizing a Sesame Street character beloved by Democratic, Republican and independent toddlers alike.
Asked by the Washington Times after last night's vice presidential debate to respond to the backlash, Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod got defensive. "We released a spot. We created conversation, and I think we succeeded in what we wanted to do. The spot was on a few comedy shows. It wasn't in our main rotation," he said. "I wouldn't say that it was a central element of our strategy."
So, there you have it. Big Bird is not a "central element" of President Obama's re-election strategy. We're glad the campaign adviser cleared that up, though we wonder if Mr. Axelrod finds it at all odd that he needed to.

Identical Twins Not So Identical
5 July 2005 (All day)
Twins who share the same DNA sequences may still end up looking and acting differently. Biologists haven't been sure what causes these variations. Now researchers report that some of them may be due to environmental influences that switch genes on and off.
The key lies in chemicals that attach to the genes and determine which ones get turned on, or expressed. Like genes themselves, these chemicals, called epigenetic marks, are passed from parent to child, and changes in their patterns can trigger genetically linked diseases such as some cancers. Since twins with identical genes do not always develop the same diseases, Manel Esteller, a geneticist at the Spanish National Cancer Centre in Madrid, wondered if environment might have affected their epigenetic patterns.
Esteller studied 49 sets of identical twins in Europe and recorded background information such as their smoking histories and diets. To check for epigenetic differences, Esteller and his team sequenced the twins' DNA and injected chemicals that identified known epigenetic markers. The researchers found that twins have indistinguishable epigenetic patterns at birth but develop differences later. "I think the CSI [Crime Scene Investigation] will be happy with this finding," says Esteller, explaining that epigenetic analyses could distinguish twins in criminal cases.
Environment seemed to play a critical role: Twins reared apart showed more epigenetic differences than those reared together. A serious illness in one twin seemed to correlate with greater differences between epigenetic profiles. Epigenetics may explain how DNA and the environment interact to give organisms their unique characteristics, says Esteller, who reports his findings online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This study gives a remarkable demonstration of how environment affects our DNA "packaging," says Stephen Baylin, a cancer biologist at John Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. It may also herald a new approach to genetic medicine, adds Arturas Petronis, a geneticist at the University of Toronto in Canada. "Despite billions of dollars pumped into [researching] complex diseases, the results are quite modest," Petronis says. "If we shift the emphasis from DNA sequence variation to epigenetics misregulation as a key mechanism of disease origin, we can perhaps better explain the non-Mendelian features" of diseases.
