The Portuguese star’s deal at the Stadio Meazza expires in June 2024 and talks with the Rossoneri are ongoing.
Chelsea and Real Madrid have reportedly held talks with Jorge Mendes, one of his representatives, but according to Gazzetta, Leao has snubbed both European giants as he wants to continue with the Rossoneri.
The economic agreement between the two parties is not believed to be an issue, with Milan planning to raise his salary to €7m per season.
However, there’s still no agreement over the fine worth more than €20m that Leao owes to his former club Sporting CP for terminating his contract unilaterally in 2018.
The player’s entourage expects Milan to pay part of the fee, something that Milan are not convinced of doing.
A Bola reported last week that Chelsea representatives have met Sporting CP to have a full picture of the situation, but according to Gazzetta, Leao does not want to move to Stamford Bridge and has tasked his agents with reaching an agreement with Milan.

America's overdose deaths increasing for certain drugs
America’s overdose death crisis has entered “the fourth wave” with the resurgence of methamphetamine and cocaine addiction. At the same time, more than 130 people die every day from opioid-related drug overdoses.
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention reports U.S. drug overdose deaths have declined and flattened overall, but continue to rise for certain drugs.
Deaths from psychostimulants (which include methamphetamine) rose 22% from October 2017 to October 2018, according to the CDC. Cocaine deaths increased 6% during the same period, and deaths attributed to synthetic opioids rose 11.4%.
“Some states have made really great strides in reducing opioid deaths, but it’s a growing problem in many states,” said Carla Haddad, with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows 2.1 million people had an opioid disorder last year and more than half obtained the pain reliever they misused from a friend or relative. Despite significant efforts to address the opioid crisis, the country continues to struggle with the epidemic due to the highly addictive nature of the drugs and barriers to treatment, including stigma and lack of access.
Now governments and communities are challenged with rising deaths from other drugs. Methamphetamine took the lives of 327 Oklahomans in 2017, more than any other single drug, according to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.
“It’s critical to broaden our focus with the resurgence of methamphetamine and cocaine. This is the fourth wave of the crisis,” Haddad said.
“To effectively address the crisis, communities really have to be involved,” she said.
States are focusing on partnerships with communities to address the issue, said Hemi Tewarson, with the National Governors Association.
People at the local level understand the community’s specific challenges, whether it is law enforcement strategies or the nearest hospital being far away, Tewarson said.
“It really needs to be a community-based approach if we’re going to get our arms around the issue,” she said. "We need to think about recovery more holistically."
Haddad said that includes wrap-around services like making sure people in recovery have affordable housing and job placement.
A large percentage of methamphetamine and cocaine deaths involve a mixture of drugs, she said.
"We have to get a handle on other emerging trends and talk about creating more flexibility with opioid funding,” Haddad said. “No single policy alone will have a large enough impact to substantially address addiction overdose deaths."
The battle against the opioid epidemic is seeing some results, Haddad said. Among them, from January 2017 to April 2019:
• Total morphine milligram equivalents dispensed monthly by pharmacies declined by 31%.
• Naloxone prescriptions dispensed by pharmacies increased by 484%. The medication is designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose.
• The number of unique patients receiving buprenorphine monthly from pharmacies increased by 29%. Buprenorphine is used in medication-assisted treatment to help people reduce or quit their use of opiates.
• The number of naltrexone prescriptions per month from pharmacies increased by more than 62%. The medication is approved to treat opioid use disorders and alcohol use disorders.

How to style your Gallery Wall using black and white frames
Gallery walls are a great idea to showcase your passion and love for art. Framing pictures and putting them up can make your house look homey and artistic. However, colorfulness is not for everyone, and that is where black and white frames come into play. Plain black and white frames for your art on a gallery wall can make your wall chic and minimalist while still allowing you to make a statement and show your love for art.
As the minimalist trend is rising, people are drawn towards the black and white colors as they are easy to style and look fabulous at the same time. Black and white frames work with any colored wall, and you can change up the setting to enhance the mood and feel of the place according to your liking without making drastic changes if you follow this palate.
Black and white frame
Black frames are great to capture your black and white art. They look amazing on white or any colored wall. Your photos, travel photos, or any art piece you like would be given a new life in a black frame. All black-framed walls can be styled by adding different sizes of frames on a white wall, add some green plants to the scene, with black furniture, and you are good to go.
As stylish and all-black framed wall sounds, all-white framed walls are just as impressive. White frames work amazingly with colorful photos and pastel-colored walls. They can be paired with white or gold furniture. They also work well if you are looking for the rustic cottage look, with exposed walls and wooden furniture.
Why use Black or White
Why these two colors when there are a plethora of different gorgeous colors? That is because you never go wrong with these two colors. They are a dream combination for a minimalistic look to make your place look modern and chic. Black and white walls are a classic way of styling your home, and they make the art look sharp and clean on a wall.
Tips to style black and white frames
There are thousands of ways to style black and white frames. You can use both black and white frames at the same time, you can also mix things up by throwing in a golden frame, and that would look stunning. Mixing shapes can be just as exciting as mixing colors for the frames.
Use squares, triangles, or circles to frame your art; mix these up, and your wall is ready. Another brilliant way of styling these walls is by using oversized frames. One big oversize frame, surrounded by smaller frames, is a phenomenal way of styling the frames.
As mentioned earlier, black and white art looks fantastic in these frames, and you can use black and white travel photos, a map of the world, or just the Eiffel tower and use these photos to express your love for traveling and art.

The expression mail order brides suggests that when you define your own criteria for any perfect special someone, you could search an international dating website, locate your most suitable girl and deliver her home in a lovely handbag! However , you need to take far more time and effort for more information about a potential partner and make emotionally informed decisions on this most important choice. It is crucial that before you begin dating deliver order brides, you should decide for yourself what that you are trying to find in your potential life with a partner. You will also must be realistic and accept the fact that there are simply no guarantees to the of this because there are just so many different nationalities, ethnicities and races on the globe! So , how does one decide which postal mail order brides will be best for your family?
First, it is important to understand that although some of the most spectacular marriages possess recently been arranged through mail purchase brides, this may not be always the situation. Although many from the marriages which were arranged as a result have been legitimate relationships, it has also been known for the contrary. There are plenty of cases on the wives simply being taken away from their husbands, as well as husband being taken to some other country and married to someone else. In both instances, the later destination within the spouses as well as the reasons why they will came into wedding ceremony in the first place may play a role in determining whenever this type of relationship is right for future years spouse.
When you think about the future life alongside the person that you intend to get married to, the best way to approach the subject is by using the terminology that you would use as you discuss marriage issues. For example, the terms like home violence, financial instability, age difference, legal parting and even faith and historical past can all be brought up as you discuss matrimonial issues. The sole difference between these terms and mail buy brides certainly is the process. Although filipina mail order brides the spouses may well end up in a domestic circumstances where they live in concert, they still remain other people to each other until they enter a matrimonial agreement.
On the other hand, let’s say that you would want to marry a mail buy brides. You will find three things that you ought to know about these types of women prior to you go into this unique predicament. Firstly, you have the possibility of transforming into a victim of human trafficking, which is a criminal offenses in which the both males and females are forced against their can into relationships against all their wishes. The second thing is, there is also the chance factor to become a patient of crime in the a lot country, and this is a crime that mail purchase brides have to worry about. Last but not least, there is also the chance factor to be subjected to social degradation, which will happens when the culture from the country you are visiting becomes hence different to the own and makes you not understand why you are being treated so in a different way.
Culturally, the culture of the United States is quite preferred. However , you will find cases in which the ALL OF US legislation is likely to discriminate against some cultures and drive those against their will into marriages. When it comes to mail order brides, some brides through the United States so, who get married to foreign males end up facing problems in the US because of their cultural background. If this happens to you, there exists still hope to be supplied citizenship in the us of America as long as you provide evidence that you are US citizens.
You will need to remember that though it is true that mail purchase brides will be subjected to individual trafficking and cultural destruction, the risks of having into a dangerous situation happen to be relatively low compared to the risks that non-US citizens facial area. The best alternative is still steering clear of all types of cultural differences by simply learning English being a second language. Learning English can reduce the risk of engaging in problems with legislation. In addition , if you are honest and industrious, even if you are a US citizen, your chances of succeeding in life can be pretty superior. Therefore , while all of us cannot totally prevent conditions like -mail order birdes-to-be, the best we are able to do is trying to prevent minors from currently being drawn in such scenarios in the first place.

Cementing global destruction
Up the hopper
At AWE Aldermaston itself, a group of protesters maintained a hi visibility presence from around 8am.
A spokesperson for Block the Builders said "We are calling on companies with contracts to build or project manage new facilities at AWE to cease and desist their complicity in Britain's illegal and immoral WMD project."
ONGOING PROTEST AND RESISTANCE
Police are running a large operation at AWE on a monthly basis, combining three forces, in the face of increasing public opposition to what AWE themselves have said will become the biggest construction site in the UK, rivalling Heathrow's Terminal 5.
Last month Block the Builders paid a visit to local aggregate firm John Stacey (who also supply aggregates to Lafarge) and locked up their vehicle compound (see http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/04/338001.html)
This morning's actions are part of an ongoing campaign of nonviolent resistance to new facilities being developed at the Aldermaston site which campaigners believe will facilitate the next generation of nuclear weapons.
1. 1. Lafarge is massive global company (75 countries) with sales of over 14 million euro in 2004. Its headquarters is in France. Lafarge Cement UK bought up Blue Circle in 2001. The Orion project will involve larger amounts of concrete. There were two possibilities being considered at the outline planning stage; either producing concrete on site, or a 24 hour concrete delivery for up to two weeks. Lafarge's Aldermaston depot is opposite AWE Aldermaston and their vehicles have been observed on a regular basis delivering large quantities of readymixed cement or concrete to AWE.

text: Background: Pinitol is thought to mediate insulin action and improve insulin resistance. We evaluated the effects of pinitol on glycemic control, insulin resistance and adipocytokine levels in type 2 diabetic patients. Material and Method: A total of 66 patients with type 2 diabetes who had been taking oral hypoglycemic agents for at least 3 months were enrolled and randomized to receive pinitol (n = 33) or matching placebo (n = 33). All subjects took 1,200 mg pinitol or placebo and maintained their current oral hypoglycemic agents throughout the study. Results: Mean HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and HOMA-IR were significantly lowered more in patients taking pinitol than in those given a placebo. Patients who had an HbA1c over 8.0% showed a greater reduction (p < 0.01) than those who had an HbA1c below 8.0% (p =0.16). In addition, in the group of patients with a HOMA-IR over 2.5, there was a significant decrease in HbA1c compared to that in the group of patients with a HOMA-IR below 2.5. There were no differences in the changes in adiponectin, FFA and CRP between the two groups. Conclusions: Pinitol can mediate insulin action to improve glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in patients with insulin resistance.

Newly appointed leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Humza Yousaf, speaks following the SNP Leadership election result announcement at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on March 27, 2023.
Andy Buchanan | Afp | Getty Images
Humza Yousaf on Monday was elected the new head of the Scottish National Party, promising in a speech to bring the party together, support citizens with the cost-of-living crisis and deliver independence from the United Kingdom.
He is slated to assume political leadership in Scotland following his nomination to the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday.
Yousaf said his immediate priority would be to “protect every Scot, as far as we possibly can, from the harm inflicted by the cost-of-living crisis, to recover and reform our NHS and other vital public services, to support our wellbeing economy , to improve the life chances of people right across this country.”
He added that he would work on plans to “extend childcare, improve rural housing, support small businesses and boost innovation.”
The SNP supports the campaign for Scotland to gain independence from the United Kingdom and holds a majority of 64 of the 129 seats in the Scottish parliament, giving it control over devolved areas that include housing, education, justice, local government and areas of taxation.
Yousaf, currently Scotland’s health secretary, has served in government since 2012 and was considered the favorite in the race against Kate Forbes and Ash Regan.
He has positioned himself as a unity candidate and has been touted by supporters as best-placed to maintain the SNP’s Alliance with the Scottish Greens party. He told BBC Scotland that his leadership style compared to that of his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon would be “less inner circle and more big tent.”
His political opponents have criticized his record as health secretary, with waiting times at A&E hitting record highs and drug-related deaths continue to rise in the country.
Yousaf, whose father is originally from Pakistan and emigrated to Glasgow in the 1960s and whose mother was born in Kenya, is set to be the first person of color to lead Scotland. If approved on Tuesday, he will be the country’s sixth leader since the establishment of the Scottish parliament in 1999.
“We should all take pride in the fact that today we have sent a clear message, that your color of skin, your faith, is not a barrier to leading the country we all call home,” Yousaf said.
‘Proud Scot and equally a proud European’
Yousaf’s election follows the surprise Feb. 15 resignation of Sturgeon, who served as SNP leader and Scotland’s first minister from November 2014.
She became a well-known political figure in the UK, uniting her party and leading it to win a wide majority in Scotland during three general elections. Sturgeon generated both praise and significant controversy over recent reforms to gender legislation in Scotland, and leaves behind a mixed legacy on domestic issues.
Yousaf, an ally of Sturgeon’s, has previously said he would challenge the UK government. decisions to block the gender reforms, but that he would be guided by legal advice in doing so.
Political commentators say that the new SNP head must manage a party which saw its divisions deepen during the heated leadership campaign, and will also contend with questions on the way forward for Scottish independence.
In his speech on Monday, Yousaf said, “We will be the team that delivers independence for Scotland,” and stressed that what united the SNP after recent infighting was that shared goal. He continued that building support for the cause would need to be done “on the doorstep.”
Sturgeon was leader during the 2014 independence referendum, when 55.3% of poll goers voted against leaving the union.
The SNP has campaigned for a second referendum since the Brexit vote in 2016, in which 62% of those who headed to Scotland polls chose to remain in the European Union. In November, the UK’s highest court governed that any second Scottish independence vote would have to be approved by the UK government, which opposes the move.
Yousaf has not committed, as Sturgeon did, to using the next election — expected to be held next year — as a de facto independence referendum.
On Monday, he said he was a “proud Scot and equally a proud European too.”
“Scotland is a European nation. We want to return to the European Union and play our part in building a continent that’s based on human rights, on peace, prosperity and social justice,” he said.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman has shot down a suggestion that the government settle the long standing Sabah claim by paying a “one off compensation payment.”
The defunct Sulu Sultanate’s claim over Sabah is long standing and in April 2013, Philippines gunmen had tried to press for the claim by “invading” Lahad Datu.
The siege ended with dozens of casualties and the death of two policemen a month later.
Bingkor state assemblyman Jeffrey Kitingan made the suggestion in the State Assembly on Wednesday.
“The claim should not be raised as Sabah is part of Malaysia,” said Musa.
Jeffrey agreed with the Chief Minister and highlighted the threats posed by the large number of Filipino illegal immigrants in Sabah.
“This is a breeding ground for them,” he said.
Kemabong assemblyman Rubin Balang, who chipped in, said there were no guarantees that the one-off payment would end the intrusions and related activities.
Tambunan assemblyman and Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan replied that since Sabah does not recognise the Sultanate’s claim, the question of any “one-off” payment does not arise.
Jeffrey held that the Sabah claim was tied up with the security issue.
He suggested, among other matters, the issuance of a special identity card just for Sabahans, presumably to weed out the foreigners having MyKad.
Klias state assemblyman Lajim Ukin, the Opposition leader, also called for the re-issuance of identity cards for Malaysians in Sabah.

Every night, you sleep on my neck.
Contentment seeps through our chakras.
Your serene breaths and dreams of banana chips
and walnut pieces and slow pats on the head,
in that flat little plateau
of rat-thoughts between
your albinism-pink ears,
sweet Muridae, Rattus norvegicus,
Your hand touches my lip when you want water,
touches my chin when you have to eliminate.
You brux and boggle in one aural realm, while throwing your voice,
like layers in a Bulgarian women’s choir, only within one rodent.
Brux: that sublime sound of teeth grinding and peeps of joy,
until the crescendo—the eye-popping boggle, big or wee,
that signals it gets no better than this—than you . . . with me.
I whisper into your one good ear, “I love you, Willie . . .”
When we fall asleep your tiny hand is on my finger,
and as I fade to that world of no cares,
the last things I am conscious of
are the feel of your four fingers clutching the joint of my thumb,
your sparse, curled rex whisker upon my clavicle,
and a limp after-thought of a tail across my shoulder
. . . and your breathing, blowing tufts of infra-red energy into me
as I fall to dreaming with you, Willie, old man,
rat friend of almost four years, imagining we won.
When we wake, I take
your smooshy small long body
like a one-shoulder fur stole,
moist from my sweat, off my neck
and we begin, again.
My guy and I rescued your gregarious cage-mate Quadi,
black-and-white hooded, four spots on his roly-poly belly
shy, scrawny, behind-the-scenes you, you and
who would steal a second or two of preens
before petted top-dog Quadi, high on bliss
would miff-sneeze—pissed rat thing).
I’d lie down with you rats and know peace.
When Quadi passed away,
oh, how you keened—
(in this sonic zone,
an otherworldly mewl)
in unison, we let go.
I took you out of a cage
that you clearly now felt was inhabited by a ghost,
and took you to bed with me,
(and my pain, pills, energy drinks and poetry books)
with my bad dreams of Mom’s cancer;
plus, my beau’s shock incarceration;
and, when released: immotility—
ending our fertility.
Now, a year later, your feet do not work
(research says it’s hind-leg degeneration)
so that when I put you on the floor for exercise,
you “swim”—but still get to impressive speeds
on the hardwood, using only your arms—
I refuse to call them forelegs, front legs, or any legs;
they don’t look like legs, to me when you are holding
a cashew, corn kernel, or my thumb.
You tire easily,
like young me,
with my illness, chronic pain.
D-mannose cranberry concentrate
and lots of water
cured your kidney troubles,
but bad luck—
an hormonal adolescent buck
ripped open your gut.
You were rushed to surgery.
The vet respected you,
at my 99-year-old grandmother’s
To protect your $400 sutures,
I plunked you into a snug
Willie, you bore that flak-sock
like one hungry for cake
for Ramadan or Lent, or Atkins).
You knew this was necessary to heal,
until the moment it was not—
you let me know:
red eyes fixed on my blue,
you wriggled free
and that was that.
I awake to kisses from your small pink tongue,
they aren’t sloppy wet kisses
like loving, exuberant dog,
they are neat kisses, on the dry side,
and, in the lexicon of kisses
The rat-fancier foster-family in Comox
called you Willie the Himi.
Himi stands for Himilayan: milk-chocolate points
at the base of your tail and on your nose,
that have become more caramel with age
your fur texture—short, soft feathery
surrounds your snow-white head,
as your round eyes, red pupils visible,
rimmed in ballet-slipper pink
blink and slowly shut in relaxation and ecstasy.
I wake to your kisses, bruxes, boggles,
and whole-body quivering and chirps.
An intact male, frequent climax
is a hallmark of yours, Willie—
no other intact male ratties (I’ve known many . . .)
have ever offered-up such a . . . gift
despite much whole-body-quivering.
Your collapsible spine
is too collapsed
for you to groom yourself,
and I know . . . ecstasy reached—
a waxy plug
in need of plucking
from your penis
and am struck
with some ancient race memory
or vision of a future HBO show:
I carefully place the evidence
of your decrepit virility
into a woven grass pouch
slung across my bare buxom breasts
—a potent talisman to ensure
the fertility of all wo/men
who come in the night
to employ me—
with preserved spunk of
over-the-moon white rat.

Two historians say they have found nearly three dozen living relatives of Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci by tracing his genealogy back five centuries.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Many of the descendants still live in Italy and include an accountant, a police officer, a pastry chef, and Oscar-nominated film director Franco Zeffirelli.
“Obviously I’m surprised, but happy, happy also for my grandmother who is no more, who was proud to have the name Vinci,” Elena Calosi told La Repubblica, according to The Guardian. Calosi is an architect in the small Tuscan town of Empoli, and one of the people who learned her ties to the famous artist.
A few of the descendants say they’d heard rumours from family members about their ancestry, but believed them to be just stories.
Alessandro Vezzosi — president of the international da Vinci association — and Agnese Sabato are the Italian historians responsible for the research. They followed da Vinci’s paternal family tree beginning with his grandfather — a Florentine legal notary — because Leonardo was illegitimate and the identity of his mother is contested.
They used documents from Italy, Spain, and France. DNA evidence was not available, because da Vinci’s remains were supposedly lost or dispersed in the 16th century.

AndACTION worked with Color of Change to participate in the official “Underground” live-tweet with cast members, creators, and an enthusiastic audience for the “Firefly” episode.
“Firefly” aired on March 30. Color of Change is a trusted and proven leader in racial justice, and we were interested in seeing how we could connect the “Underground” audience to their work.
We created three quote memes from the show’s creator and television and social critics about the depiction of slavery on film and TV, because we were curious if the audience was making the connection that this show connects the historical background with the racial justice activism happening today.
Sure enough, the Twitter audience passionately illustrated how much they have been wanting heroic characters like these, as well as their deep understanding of the connection between the trauma of slavery and its legacy of institutional racism. We followed up with a blog post analyzing the experiment.

Time Warp Tuesday: Meg’s Tracks for April 9, 2019
Time Warp Tuesday is upon us, so let's crack open the Alt Vault and rock out to some retro tracks.

This track popped up on my random shuffle the other day and I was pleasantly surprised. I totally forgot that Christina Hendricks (my #1 girlcrush) is in the video, so... awesome.
Date with the NIght/ Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Here's a song that reminds me of my college radio days. I wish I were like 10% as cool as Karen O.
Little Sister/ Queens of the Stone Age
This song is obviously not safe for work, but.... just look at hot early aughts Josh Homme. I mean, damn.
A Letter to Elise/ The Cure
I'm not crying. It's just my allergies.
Terrible Lie/ Nine Inch Nails
Pretty Hate Machine is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I can't believe it's turning THIRTY years old this October.
In The Meantime/ Spacehog
You may read the title for this one and think what the hell, but I promise you, the minute you hear the hook, you'll remember this one.
I Know It's Over/ Jeff Buckley
I'm a sucker for a great cover song, and Jeff's version of this Smiths track is breathtaking. I can't listen to it without turning into a sobbing mess.

For the authentic taste of Portugal, brush chicken (whole, spatchcocked or pieces) with oil and sprinkle generously with seasoning, then grill, braai or bake. Great on other meats and seafood too.

The intellectual and aesthetic pursuit of a coherent style
Studied at the Classical Lyceum and gradutated from University in Classics: his dream was to be a professor of Greek and Latin. And then his family background - they are furriers - began to emerge and in 1998, he began to work professionally in the fashion sector.
He didn't attend a professional school, but has always drawn.
He's collaborated with Versace, Roberto Cavalli and Mariella Burani.
At the end of 2008, he decided to work on his personal collection: he went to India to research embroidery, when he returned he presented a 40-piece capsule collection of furs and embroidery at the Milano Collezioni.
In 2008 he won Who is on next? and he showed his collection during Milan Fashion Week. "The contest gave me visibilty, which is important when presenting an emerging product to buyers and the media."
For Fashion Night Out, he dressed a Barbie in a miniature model of a dress he designed, with the same materials and details, entirely handmande.
"All of my collections have a precise cultural stance, which I believe comes from my educational background: Alberto Burri, the Japanese artist Iroshige, the work of Hans Hartung.
Fall/Winter 2010/11 is inspried by rocky surroundings, erosion and corrosion and the Japanese Raku ceramics. On the contrary of how it usually happens, in this collection the material influences the shapes."
"I believe in stylist cohearance, as a way of taking a precise aesthetic stance. My collections, as they evolve, have an intellectual common thread, along with a very high-quality sartorial research."
His outstanding quality
The piece of advice
Being both mentally and physically flexible: "Companies aren't always in glamorous areas: when I began I went to work 700 km from home and I was 22 years-old. Attentiona dn sacrifice are necessary: it's not just about working with sequins."
Having a theme is important for me, a logical throughline between the first and last song in each collection. They help me to choose which are the ideas I need to develop and which I should leave out. Within this cycle, it's crucial to have a short circuit, something disharmonious that makes the collection special."
To collaborate with the relaunch of legendary fashion brand.
His family, his father and brother, for their financial and moral support. Even in the most difficult moments. "It's not easy when you're young."
His creations are
"In three words: line, decoration, colour. My father is able to pick out the many shades of brown in leathers and furs, and he passed that on to me."
"I've been changing the silhouette of trousers: right now I'm into the oversized look."
Roy Halston "Glamour without being excessive", the drapings by Madeleine Vionnet, "like a gust of wind that blows against the dress."
"I'm very attracted to the cool beauty of Tilda Swinton, but also to the childish and sensual look of Audrey Tatou. I like alluring types."

The Ryerson men’s volleyball team lost 3-2 (25-18, 22-25, 24-26, 25-17, 15-8) in a tight game against the Waterloo University Warriors on Saturday. The loss drops the Rams to 10-8 — four points back of York University for fourth in OUA rankings.
“I think, at the end of the game, we were undisciplined in our passing,” Robert Wojcik said. “In the third set, it was 20-20, and the passing broke down, and we lost the set.”
The Rams started strong, taking an early 6-0 lead on route to a 25-18 first set win. Wojcik and outside hitter Stefan Ristic gave the Rams the early advantage, but numerous errors by Ryerson kept the Warriors close.
“It’s frustrating because at points we were dominant; they couldn’t stop us,” Wojcik said. “It’s frustrating when it’s a discipline issue that costs us the win.”
The second and third sets were not as friendly to the Rams as the first. They fell behind two sets to one including a pivotal third set, which the Warriors won 26-24. Ultimately, after another dominating set in the fourth, the Rams dashed their momentum and lost the final set 15-8.
“It’s not disappointing,” head coach Mirek Porosa said. “We lost in five sets to a nationally ranked team — we were the underdogs; they were the favourites. I praise our guys for sticking with it until the end, the fifth set is a lottery and we just fell flat.”
Setter Adam Anagnostopoulos said the Rams came up short on Saturday, but is confident that they could beat the Warriors if they them play again.
“Honestly, we gave them that game,” Anagnostopoulos said. “There’s nothing there that scares me, nothing there that I’m worried about at all.”
The loss cements the Rams’ fifth place position in in the OUA. There are three games left in the regular season.
“At this point, I think we’re pretty much locked into fifth for the rest of the season,” Anagnostopoulos said. “Hopefully we can get a little bit of momentum going into the playoffs.”
The Rams play their final home game against Guelf before hitting the road to take on the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen’s University in their final two games of the regular season.


SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted that everything was fine with the rocket as it arrived on the launch pad, but that "the movement trace of an upper stage engine steering hydraulic piston was slightly odd. Standing down to investigate."
The day before, he had tweeted that the organization was investigating a "very small leak" of helium in the rocket. When asked whether the two problems were related, he said it was unlikely, but not out of the question.
The launch was aborted 13 seconds before takeoff, multiple media outlets reported.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 18, 2017
The apparent problem was with a steering system in the rocket's upper stage.
Musk later said the launch would likely have been fine, as control systems are in place to overcome steering system position errors, but that it wasn't "worth rolling the dice."
SpaceX mechanical design engineer John Federspiel said on a company webcast that the decision to stand down was made "out of an abundance caution," CBS reported.
There were also last-minute software problems with the rocket's automatic self-destruct system, but those were resolved in the moments before the flight was to take off, according to CBS.
The launch has been rescheduled for Sunday, February 19, at 9:38 a.m. local time. The Falcon 9 will carry a cargo ship loaded with supplies for the International Space Station.
— SpaceX (@SpaceX) February 18, 2017
If it goes ahead on Sunday, the launch will be the first for SpaceX from a launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center once used for NASA's shuttle program. SpaceX signed a 20-year lease on the launchpad in 2014. There has not been a launch from the pad since NASA scuttled its shuttle program in 2011.
SpaceX has not launched a rocket from Florida since a rocket exploded in September while being fueled ahead of a routine, pre-launch test at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, near the Kennedy Space Center.

Kids2 has acquired and taken private Summer Infant
Summer Infant designs, markets and distributes branded infant and juvenile products. As a globally recognized leader in infant and toddler care, Summer offers a wide range of products, including gates, potties, entertainers, specialty blankets and baby gear products under the Summer and SwaddleMe brand names. Summer was founded in 1985 and has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market since 2007 under the symbol “SUMR.” Summer is headquartered in Rhode Island with additional distribution and logistics facilities in California and China.
Kids2 is an innovative, solutions-based platform that assists early-stage parents and families in raising children. The Kids2 brand portfolio includes leading infant, baby and toddler brands comprised of world-renowned Baby Einstein, Ingenuity and Bright Starts as well as a privately owned media company, a venture capital firm to invest in like-minded startups, a vertically integrated manufacturing facility and various joint-venture partnerships. Headquartered in Atlanta, Kids2 spans globally serving customers in more than 90 countries and has been inventing and reinventing infant and juvenile products for more than 50 years.
Kids2 and Lincoln International have worked closely over the last several years to evaluate the company’s capital structure during a very volatile period within the private capital markets. To execute this transaction, Lincoln worked closely with Kids2 to evaluate financing options and provide buy-side advisory as Kids2 pursued the acquisition of Summer Infant. The acquisition of Summer represented a unique opportunity for Kids2 to acquire a highly complementary business that would broaden its suite of products, create cross-selling opportunities, expand its blue-chip customer base, strengthen the distribution network and bolster its e-commerce presence.
Brendan Murphy, Managing Director in Lincoln’s Capital Advisory Group, commented, “We are pleased to have advised the owner and management team of Kids2 on multiple situations over the past several years and subsequently help position the business for continued growth and success. This acquisition of Summer Infant further solidifies Kids2 as a global leader in the infant and juvenile products space, bolsters its well-diversified product offering and strategically positions the company to drive value at the world’s leading retailers.”
This transaction demonstrates Lincoln’s complimentary buyside and capital raise expertise, which led to a fulsome, flexible capital solution that will allow the Kids2 team to seamlessly and strategically integrate Summer Infant.

Vanguard news Acadian colours
By Belle Hatfield
Members of Yarmouth Town Council will soon be able, once again, to accept nominations to serve on committees of the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
A recently approved policy that excludes council appointments to non-municipal boards and committees, also shut the door on councillors’ participation in these organizations. Council approved an amendment to the new policy at a committee of the whole meeting last Thursday, Jan. 24. The amendment allows for participation in boards and agencies like the UNSM where the council has approved membership.
It was councillor Dan MacIsaac who originated the discussion in November that led to the decision to eliminate councillors’ participation on non-municipal boards, like the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation or the YMCA. MacIsaac’s November motion directed staff, “to draft a policy to exclude non-municipal boards and committees” from the list of council appointments.
Traditionally there has been council representation on boards like the YMCA, in which there is a direct public interest and an expectation of ongoing municipal funding support.
The move was made to streamline and reduce councillors’ workload and to remove any perception of a conflict of interest.
Council’s decision to stop accepting appointments to non-municipal agencies has raised the ire of at least one resident. In a letter to council, Martha Cassidy questioned the decision.
“When questions regarding funding various organizations come up, it is helpful to taxpayers to know that someone on Council has attended at least some of the meetings of these groups,” she wrote.
Following is the original policy approved by council:
1. The purpose of this policy is to :
a. Manage the required appointments of Councillors to ensure the workload is appropriate and focused on the mandate of council
b. Ensure all Councillors are able to exercise their decision-making authority without undue influence from non-municipal organizations.
2. In order to meet these purposes, Council agrees that Council will only make appointments to committees or boards that meet at least one of the following criteria:
a. Created by Council through by-law or policy
b. Created by Council through an inter-municipal or intergovernmental agreement,
c. Created by Council through any other form of incorporation
d. Council is required to make appointments by an act, regulation, order, or other form
provincial or federal direction
3. Council shall not make an appointment where a non-municipal board or committee has written into their by-laws that a seat is reserved for a member appointed by Town Council, unless the organization meets the criteria identified in Section 2 of this policy.
The amendment to the new policy should be approved at council’s next regular meeting on Feb. 14.

Many people in Latin America and the Caribbean currently become volunteers to support the Venezuelan refugees and asylum seekers. Sonia Silva, a former international UN Volunteer who served in Lago Agrio, Ecuador with UNHCR, shares how volunteering facilitates the adaptation of families on the move.
According to UNHCR and IOM’s latest report, the number of Venezuelans leaving their country has reached 4 million. Globally, the report also reveals that Venezuelans are one of the single largest population groups displaced, with a number of refugees and migrants that has increased by one million since November 2018.
Lago Agrio is a town in Ecuador located 23 km from the Colombian border and with 91.744 inhabitants. Ecuador, along with other countries in the region, are hosting the vast majority of Venezuelans; for instance, Colombia accounts for some 1.3 million refugees and migrants, followed by Peru with 768,000, Chile 288,000, Ecuador 263,000, Brazil 168,000, and Argentina 130,000. For its location on a border, various international and national organizations coordinate their response to the mixed migration flows in Lago Agrio.
Former International UN Volunteer, Sonia Silva, is a 39-year old Mexican who served as Field Officer with UNHCR in Lago Agrio. As part of her assignment, she was in charge of monitoring the implementation of UNHCR durable solutions strategy and livelihood projects, within the framework of the UNHCR Livelihood Strategy, to ensure that objectives are met.
Along with UNHCR’s implementing partners, she assisted in the creation and development of alliances with relevant public institutions, while lobbying for the inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers in state policies and public programs.
I work for the integration of refugees and asylum seekers, promoting better living conditions. I advocate for public policies to have an inclusion approach at the local level, so that the population of refugees and asylum seekers have access to programmes that facilitate people's self-sufficiency, such as those on entrepreneurship and technical skills for employment, among others- Sonia Silva, former iUNV Field Officer in UNHCR Ecuador.
Through her daily work, she identified vulnerable groups or individuals who needed special attention or special arrangements; she also advised on the inclusion of the gender and child protection approach in all the field work.
Her assignment showed her the importance of volunteering for the protection and attention of refugees and asylum seekers, specially on the support given to families on the move.
Volunteering is very important, especially the one that is "invisible". When accompanying the families, they told me stories of solidarity and volunteering that occurs spontaneously: people have given families their furniture, they have linked them in employment issues, etc. We see the importance of generating networks and opening socialization spaces, such as meetings in schools, where people know each other and break the stereotype of “you vs. the others”. That type of volunteering facilitates the adaptation of families, and schools, grassroots organizations, churches, have a very important role on this- Sonia Silva, former iUNV Field Officer in UNHCR Ecuador.
Before taking the UNV assignment in Ecuador, Sonia had previous work experience on the protection of refugees, asylum seekers and IDSPs in Jordan, Spain and Mexico. Through her assignment in Lago Agrio, she witnessed human mobility from another perspective, and she finds that very satisfactory.


PR bosses on 'gardening leave'
ONE of the City's best known public relations men, Financial Dynamics chairman and Business Communications International chief executive Nick Miles, was sent on 'gardening leave' on Wednesday, along with colleague Hugh Morrison, BCI managing director.
FD chief executive Charles Watson said the shock ousting is a matter between holding company Cordiant and BCI, which has taken most of Miles' time since he moved there at the end of 2000.
BCI is a worldwide group that shares offices with FD in London's Holborn. It is understood that Miles had not been getting on well with Cordiant.
Cordiant has recently issued three profits warnings, made 1,100 redundancies and is in talks with banks about its £250m plus overdraft. Analysts say some of its problems stem from its £370m July 2000 takeover of Lighthouse Communications, of which FD was part.

Galaxy mapper's first discovery: surprise space debris
New Scientist said:
A robotic galaxy mapper may have just made its first discovery by surviving an unexpected onslaught of space debris.
Scientists working with the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite have found that the spacecraft is being peppered by far more micrometeoroids tiny specks of space dust than had been anticipated. The strikes shouldn't put Gaia in danger, although mission scientists will have to watch closely as the spacecraft begins its scientific observations. And the discovery might spell trouble for future spacecraft headed to the same orbital position.

After four years of planning, Indonesia announced at the U.N. climate talks in Doha, Qatar that it will set aside land, roughly the size of Singapore, as part of a rainforest conservation project. The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve, in Central Kalimantan province on Borneo island, will protect close to 200,000 acres of land and Indonesia will be rewarding investors with tradable carbon credits that they can use for profit or decreasing their own carbon footprint.
“We hope projects like Rimba Raya will lead the way in proving that conservation can address the rural development needs of the communities and also preserve our forests for generations to come,” Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan said in a statement.
This has been a significant step in protecting Indonesia’s landscape, as the country houses the world’s third-largest tropical rainforest. Unfortunately, these forests are disappearing at a fast rate as there is a rush to grow more food and people are keen on exploiting their timber and mineral wealth. By protecting the forests, Indonesia will be playing a role in curbing global warming as forest clearance is a source of greenhouse gases.
“This is a small but significant step in terms of contributing to the government’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and showing that larger volumes of forest carbon credits can be sold to credible buyers,” said Andrew Wardell, program director, forests and governance, at the Center for International Forestry Research in Indonesia, to Reuters.

How does a plane fly?
Do you want to know how airplanes fly? Visit Flightdemy to learn all about commercial aviation
If you're intrigued by aviation basics, you might often ponder: How Do Airplanes Fly? Learn about the four essential forces—lift, weight, thrust, and drag—that enable an Airbus A380 to glide through the sky.
We'll break down the aerodynamics and physics principles, such as Newton's Laws and Bernoulli's Principle, that make flight possible.
Understanding the Four Forces in Airplane Flight: Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag
Do you like aviation?
If you are passionate about commercial aviation, this course is specially designed for you.
Whether you have always wanted to be a pilot, or simply can't help but wonder about everything behind these fascinating flying machines every time you get on an airplane, this course is ideal for you.
The Four Forces in Airplane Flight
Ever wondered how airplanes sustain flight at over 30,000 feet? The answer lies in the balance of four forces: Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag.
When an airplane maintains a level altitude, lift counterbalances weight, and thrust equals drag. Let's delve into these forces in more detail.
Thrust: The Driving Force of an Airplane
Thrust propels an airplane forward, thanks to its engines. Whether it's a small piston engine or a powerful jet engine, thrust is essential for overcoming drag.
Generating Thrust: Overcoming Air Resistance
Drag: The Resistance to Flight
Drag acts against the airplane's motion. The aircraft's shape and aerodynamics are designed to minimize drag.
Minimizing Drag for Efficient Flight
Weight: The Gravitational Force in Aviation
Weight is the force acting downwards, comprising the aircraft, fuel, passengers, and more. It is balanced out by lift for flight.
How Weight Affects Airplane Flight
Lift: The Ascending Force in Flight
Lift opposes weight and is generated by the airplane's wings. Learn how lift is created through the Bernoulli's Principle.
Creating Lift for Sustained Flight
Understanding Lift with Bernoulli's Principle
Daniel Bernoulli's Hydrodynamica gives insights into how lift is generated in airplane wings through fluid dynamics.
So there you have it, the fundamental physics of airplane flight broken down. The next time you're cruising at 30,000 feet, you'll know exactly how and why you got there!

Allergen-Free* Pets Database
People with food allergies often have allergies to other substances, and may even be allergic to animals. Sadly, this can be especially difficult for children, but it may also be difficult for families where some individuals want to have their lives enhanced by owning pets.
We've written profiles of some pets that may be suitable for individuals with allergies. It is important before purchasing a pet to speak to an allergist, undergo appropriate testing, and also research a lot about the animal. You can find out much more about all of the animals by searching for websites on the species. None of the profiles should be considered inclusive, but should only be the beginning of researching an animal before acquiring it.
Before we begin talking about our animals,
here are a few tips for becoming a successful new allergen-free pet owner.
Be wary of any furred or feathered animal advertised as hypoallergenic. Furless cats and hairless dogs, for example, still produce dander. In many cases, allergies are actually to components of an animal's saliva! It's important to speak to a reliable allergist about what animal(s) will not cause a reaction.
Even the more highly accepted "allergen-free" pets may be allergenic to some individuals. For example, one FAST member can't be around fish, whether they're on a plate or in a tank, without risking having a serious allergic reaction. This is why it's so important to visit a trusted allergist before acquiring any pet, even if it's a pet you wouldn't think might pose a risk.
Ask around to see if a friend or acquaintance owns the type of animal you're interested in. This gives you a chance to observe the animal, see some of the care involved, and ask questions.
Read ingredients on pet foods (and other pet supplies) before purchasing a pet. As hermit crab owner Jenn Borgesen points out, foods for animals often contain common allergens, including (but not limited to) dairy, seafood, soy, and wheat. Bedding might be made of such food ingredients as corn or wheat. While a specific animal may not cause a reaction, it's possible that its supplies could!
Children should be secondary caretakers to animals. Parent(s) should be open to taking over the care of the animal should the child forget to, do an inadequate job, or lose interest.
Read as much as you can about the specific species before making up your mind. The Internet often has more up-to-date information than books. If using books, opt for ones that are highly rated (such as on an online bookstore website) and have been published recently.
Purchase and set up all of the supplies for a pet before acquiring it. Many new pet owners make the mistake of trying to purchase everything at once, which inadvertently puts stress on the new animal. It can take a long time to set up a pet environment, and an aquarium requires cycling. If you live in a small town or want a more exotic pet, some needed items may be available only through mail order, requiring purchase before obtaining the animal. You can make the wait more fun for children by thinking up pet names and reading about proper pet care.
Find a quality veterinarian before adopting a pet, and before an emergency arises. Especially in the case of exotic animal species, specialists may be difficult to find in some areas.
Animals may carry diseases. As reptile owner Cindy points out, animals may harbor bacteria, illnesses, or diseases such as salmonella. Instruct children to wash their hands after handling pets, and not kiss the animals. Purchase pets from reliable sources, and speak to your veterinarian if you have any questions.
Animals can be illegal in certain areas. Especially when dealing with more exotic pets, they may be illegal in your area. It's good to check before acquiring an animal. Some areas are interested in the safety of human caretakers, but often the pets are banned because they could hurt native wildlife if illegally released into the wild.
* Only your allergist can determine what is truly allergen-free for you and/or your child. The animals in the above profiles are fur- and feather-free, but that doesn't mean they will necessarily be allergen-free for all individuals. This website and participants in this article are not responsible for reactions that take place as a result of owning any pet.
Would you like to help by providing a profile of your favorite pet(s)? Only profiles including a personally-taken photo(s) will be accepted. Send an e-mail from this webpage, including all of the following information: your name as you would like to be credited, size and appearance of the animal, general housing requirements, lifespan, responsiveness to humans, quantity, and any fun notes. Thank you for taking the time to share about your pet(s)! E-mails about broken links are also appreciated--just use the link above.

Probe to extend to state, district police headquarters
JOHOR BARU: Investigations into the case of 16 policemen who have allegedly been colluding with drug syndicates will be extended to state and district police headquarters level.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he had informed Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, his deputy, Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim, and federal Narcotics Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff to take immediate action against those involved.
