Cabañas Las Lilas, the best Argentinean meats
In the heart of Puerto Madero, the restaurant Cabañas Las Lilas has offered great hospitality and a unique grilling experience for over 20 years. The quality of the meat is the result of rigorous work with the producers of the most prestigious cattle breeds: Angus, Hereford, Brangus and Braford.
On the menu: ham-based starters, chorizo, black pudding, empanadas, and of course, the finest cuts of meat: asado de tira, bife de lomo, ojo de bife, meat unlike anything you've known before. Keep a bit of room for a dessert with dulce de leche, panqueque or millefeuille. Though it is primarily known for meat, Cabañas Las Lilas also offers a burrata, tomato and Greek olives salad, as well as a provoleta – grilled cheese, the Argentinean way – so that vegetarians be not left out.

Avenida Alicia Moreau de Justo 516
Menu: from 1,400 ARS
Aragawa, an institution for more than 50 years
The meat served here is so exceptional that you have to book several weeks in advance for the chance to get a table. The few who get in are indeed lucky because, in Japan, beef steaks of this quality are as rare as caviar. Indeed, the herds of cattle are so small that each restaurant drawing from them has a quota of meat per week that cannot be exceeded. In this family restaurant, one of the brothers works in the kitchen while the other welcomes you in the dining room. Each dish is prepared on the spot by the chef in person, who likes guests to be on time.
Inside, the decor is original, a tad rustic with leather chairs and wooden tables. For starters, allow yourself to be tempted by the succulently plump raw fish. For the main dish, there can be no hesitation: Kobe meat and nothing else! It comes in either 200 or 300 grams, depending on your appetite. Its aroma, texture, and taste are simply unmatched. You will keep this unforgettable taste experience forever. If you aren't that fond of proteins, you'll enjoy the chef salad or soup du jour.

Gatlin's, a family affair
Everyone agrees about certain restaurants, and Gatlin's BBQ is one of them. The darling of the public and the media, it has already won the Houston Press Barbecue Award twice, awarded by ‘The Houston Press', a free cultural weekly. Regulars come for the welcome, which is unlike any other, while those new to the restaurant come back for its culinary expertise.
Gatlin's serves barbecue sauce grilled spareribs – ribs – in every imaginable way: in salads, sandwiches or in a ‘spicy' version. It also offers a deliciously tender beef brisket – the house specialty – or recipes from Louisiana, all accompanied by amazing baked potatoes. Over and above the content of your plates, you will be charmed by its rustic setting. Greg Gatlin and his parents have recently moved into their new location on Ella Boulevard, which is six times larger than the old premises, but also more convivial. So there's something to satisfy all of their many fans! As an alternative to meat, order the delicious potato salad or mixed veggies.

Menu: around 15 USD
Clover Grill, art of the barbecue
With perfect finesse and craftsmanship, starred-chef Jean-François Piège and his wife Élodie introduce us to the art of barbeque, with a sense of luxury. Here, you'll find nothing but grilled produce which makes for incredible food inventions, carrying a gentle smoky taste putting the dishes in another dimension. You'll be able to choose between a celery-root cooked in ashes and served with a parmesan and black truffle sauce, joints of beechwood-roasted beef, as well as fish and fruits, such as the legendary roast pineapple with vanilla and espelette pepper, served with a lemongrass sorbet. Also of interest are the home-grown vegetables braised en papillote and the morel mushrooms stewed in a Château d'Arlay wine, both dishes being 100% veggie compatible.
6, rue Bailleul
Menu: around 55 EUR
Kyloe, the intensity of Scottish beef
At the Kyloe grill-restaurant, you'll enjoy a stunning view onto the Edinburgh Castle. Obviously, only the very best cuts of Scottish beef are served, such as the Aberdeen Angus, sourced in local farms. Chef John Rutter conceived a menu that will satisfy all your needs in terms of beef. Try the marinated bavette with caramelised onions and a rosemary foccacia, the Hardiesmill steak – pure bred 100% from the Scottish borders – or go for the 300 to 800g cuts to share for two or three, accompanied with heritage potato and bacon gratin.
Other savouring non-meat selections include shallot gnocchi in a garlic sauce, with broccoli and oven dried cherry tomatoes and parmesan, or a roast tomato and lentil soup for instance. To complement your meal, try the Angus the Bull restaurant signature wine, an Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. As for desserts, pastry Chef Fiona Boyd will have you drool over her chocolate fudge cake with spiced pineapple puree, or a red velvet cake with mascarpone, strawberry salsa and lemon meringue.

text: Ongoing macro-level socioeconomic change has been associated with protracted and uncertain work environments for youth around the world and consequently, prolonged periods spent in education. To investigate this association, the present study combined elements from the Jena model of social change and human development and the expectancy-value model in a two-wave study of final year Ghanaian tertiary students (N=504; females = 54.5%; mean age = 24; SD=4.43). Their work demands; perception of growing work-related uncertainties, coping strategies, perceived social support, expectancies and subjective values in work and further education domains and postgraduate intentions were assessed over two waves. A mediation relationship was hypothesized between work demands and postgraduate intentions through expectancies and subjective values. In addition, it was expected that engagement and disengagement coping strategies and perceived social support would moderate the relationships between work demands and expectancies and subjective values. Regression results revealed no direct relationship between work demands and postgraduate intentions but a successful mediation through the student’s expectancies. Thus, work uncertainties affect student’s assessments of their abilities and success expectations, which, in turn, are an indicator of whether or not a student intends to further their education. Other results indicate that, engagement coping moderated the mediation relationship between work demands and education domain expectancies whereas, disengagement coping moderated the relationship between work demands and work domain expectancies. Perceived social support was not significant as a moderator but was significant in predicting postgraduate intentions, and expectancies in both domains and education domain values.

People have been trying to communicate with the dead as long as the dead have been around. About four years ago, Neal Spencer from the British Museum, was excavating a house in the Nile Valley when he came upon an 11-inch (29-centimeter) bust of a male figure. The figurine had a short wig and bits of ancient Egyptian blue and red paint, which suggested the little guy was wearing a collar of beads and pendants. Spencer said such busts allowed the living to talk to the dead and ask them for help here on Earth [source: Spencer].
Cultures that worship their ancestors believe strongly that they can talk to the dead. The Dogon people of southern Mali still communicate with their ancestors, through a special dance. It's a masquerade, in which dancers wear sirige masks carved from a single tree. These masks link the Dogon's life on Earth with those of their ancestors.
Many Native Americans have believed for centuries that they could communicate with the dead. In their view, when a person died, he or she passed into the spirit world and became part of the supernatural forces that influenced their lives. The Apache and Navajo feared ghosts who didn't like the living [source: Encyclopedias of Death and Dying].

So he compromises national interest; caves in to US arm-twisting; capitulates to Pakistani blackmail at Sharm el-Sheikh
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a decent and honest man. His admirers would say he is an economist too. His detractors (a plague on their houses!) don’t quite see it that way and his critics (may they never escape the damnation of hell!) think he is a feckless man given to spinning webs of deceit to cover up his sins of omission and commission. So, there is no reason to doubt that when he met Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement (yes, it still exists) Summit at Sharm el-Sheikh last Thursday, Mr Singh did the tough-guys-don’t-cry act with him.
“I conveyed to him the strong sentiments of the people of India over the issue of terrorism, especially the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. We are reviewing the dossier of investigations into these attacks which Pakistan has provided to us. I also conveyed to Prime Minister Gilani that sustained, effective and credible action needs to be taken not only to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack to justice, but also to shut down the operations of terrorist groups so as to prevent any future attacks,” the Prime Minister told Parliament on Friday. Since he is a man of impeccable integrity, and because the Right to Information Act won’t allow us access to the ‘Record of Discussion’, we must believe that this is indeed what he told Mr Gilani.
And having read out the riot act, presumably in a stern though whiny voice and with an unsmiling face, the Prime Minister agreed to endorse a joint statement along with Mr Gilani, whose contents, in both letter and spirit, fly ruthlessly in the face of what he now claims to have said. Since 72 hours is a long time for public memory to remain fresh, it would be in order to quote the salient points of the joint statement:
“Both leaders agreed that terrorism is the main threat to both countries.”
“Prime Minister Singh reiterated the need to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice. Prime Minister Gilani assured that Pakistan will do everything in its power in this regard.”
“Both leaders agreed that the two countries will share real time, credible and actionable information on any future terrorist threats.”
“Prime Minister Gilani mentioned that Pakistan has some information on threats in Balochistan and other areas.”
“Both Prime Ministers recognised that dialogue is the only way forward. Action on terrorism should not be linked to the Composite Dialogue process and these should not be bracketed. Prime Minister Singh said that India was ready to discuss all issues with Pakistan, including all outstanding issues.”
Here’s a commonsensical interpretation, which is not quite different from how diplomats with commonsense would interpret it, of the joint statement, based entirely on an understanding of what used to be the Queen’s language:
The Pakistan-sponsored jihadi terrorism India has to cope with, and pay for with the blood of innocent Indians, according to Mr Singh, is no different from the bloodletting in Pakistan caused by those jihadis who have turned rabid and begun to bite the hand that once lovingly fed them. Nothing distinguishes the victim, our saintly Prime Minister believes, from the perpetrator of macabre misdeeds. So, 10-year-old Devika Rotawan, whose right leg has been disabled after she was shot during last November’s fidayeen attack on Mumbai, should feel contrite for deposing against Ajmal Kasab, the Pakistani who remorselessly crippled her and sat grinning in the court while she relived the horror of that night at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
Our firm and not easily persuaded Prime Minister demanded Pakistan must bring those responsible for 26/11 to justice. Mr Gilani assured him everything is being done in this regard. We must believe Mr Gilani, because our wise Prime Minister trusts him. Never mind minor details like Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the chief terrorist of Lashkar-e-Tayyeba who operates under the cover of a bogus Islamic charity, Jamaat-ud-Dawa’h, and the mastermind behind the carnage in Mumbai, being allowed to walk free and plot the next attack on India. Nor should we feel distraught if others ‘arrested’ in the case by Pakistani authorities are also set free on account of ‘insufficient evidence’.
The US, more specifically the CIA, wants us to share real time, credible and actionable intelligence with Pakistan. The Americans have been haranguing us on this score for some time now. We might as well give in and do Washington’s (or should it be Langley’s?) bidding. Why rub the Americans the wrong way, especially since they have us by our short and curly over our now compromised nuclear programme? And why upset the 300-million-strong middle class which aspires to see India become an American stooge? After all, they determined the outcome of this summer’s general election and ensured that we would continue to have a decent, honest and, not to forget, economist Prime Minister who oozes integrity. So, we shall pass on real time, credible and actionable intelligence to the Pakistanis and they shall rework their terror strategy accordingly so that our security agencies cannot pre-empt future jihadi attacks. No, there's no need to get upset about it. To cavil would be unpatriotic as all patriots are expected to back the Prime Minister who genuinely believes capitulation will “serve to further advance India’s interests”.
Pakistan, we are now told, has “some information on threats in Balochistan and other areas”. The sly reference to Balochi separatism in the joint statement need not shock us, even though this amounts to legitimising Pakistan’s absurd claim that Indian agencies, more specifically R&AW, have been fomenting trouble in Balochistan. The Prime Minister says there’s nothing to fear, ours is an “open book”. So, why feel apprehensive that this shall pave the way to Islamabad accusing New Delhi, and convincingly so, that India has been doing unto Pakistan what Pakistan has been doing unto India? The Prime Minister’s silence on the inclusion of Balochistan in the joint statement when he spoke in Parliament need not intrigue us — he wasn’t being cunning or deceitful; that’s not what decent and honest men do; he was merely glossing over a minor detail whose consequences can be disastrous.
The Prime Minister sincerely believes “action on terrorism should not be linked to the Composite Dialogue process and these should not be bracketed”. He is also “ready to discuss”, as the US wants him to, “all issues with Pakistan, including all outstanding issues”. However, this does not really mean what it means, or so we are told by the Prime Minister. What it really means, and I quote from his statement in Parliament, is that “action on terrorism should not be linked to the composite dialogue process”.
Further comment would be tantamount to questioning the integrity of a decent and honest man, and lending credence to what the Prime Minister’s critics say, that he is a feckless man given to spinning webs of deceit.

Navigating a turbulent ocean: A lesson from 2020
As a Diver and Open Water Swimmer I am aware of the powerful nature of the ocean. So when I enter into this vast and powerful body of water I usually know where I want to go or the navigational path I want to take. I also know that it might not be a simple swim to and fro, as the ocean in its entirety is energy, and energy as we know abides by certain laws. One very important universal law which the ocean succumbs to is The Law of Rhythm. It is this Law of Rhythm which is responsible for the push and pull of the currents, the ebb and flow of the tides, the crashing waves of rough seas or the calmness of a still ocean. The Law of Rhythm states that the energy in the universe is like a pendulum. Whenever something swings to the right it must then swing to the left. Everything goes through cycles, yet everything has a rhythm or pattern. We experience it in nature all of the time, the tides and currents of the ocean, the way the ocean kisses the shoreline, our seasons from winter to summer, night turning into day. Sometimes it feels as if the ocean is pulling you closer to where you want to go, other times it is pushing you away as you feel the current head on, and sometimes the current simply cuts across you. I can never be in control of the ocean, only aware of its movement and in doing so I have to be aware of my own self. I need to know when to move and how to move. I need to be in constant flow with my own energy and feel the currents and tides of the ocean. This way I can navigate my way through the ocean. Adhering to the natural flow of the ocean will bring me closer to where I want to be, even though at times it may feel like the ocean is pulling me in the opposite direction. It is this trust that even though the movement of the water takes me in a different direction at times to where I want to go, it is my knowledge of myself and adjusting to the flow which will eventually get me to the point I want to be. The Law of Rhythm only works with energy, so it has no idea who you are, what you believe in, or what you did or did not do, nor is it a punishment. The effects it has on the ocean and who is in it, is all the same irrespective of who you are.
Not only is the Law of Rhythm applicable in nature but it also applies to our lives as well as our emotions, since it is all energy. We constantly experience these ups and downs in life which I am sure we all can attest to. If we can for a moment think back, for many of us 2020 started out well; the great joy when everything goes right, when everything is in flow. Your job was absolutely amazing, business prospects were looking promising, your family was overjoyed with happiness and all was well in the world. Suddenly though things took a turn the “tide” or the “current” changed. Your job was no longer secure, business prospects started to fizzle out, your child had some social mishap, your relationships started to take strain and all of a sudden you focused on the struggle. You have been “swept off course” as you got caught in the ebb and now you are trying to correct your course as quickly as possible. You seem to be moving further and further away from where you were heading and your immediate reaction is to hold on and fight the tide. This is the ebb and flow of life or as we now aware The Law of Rhythm at work. The best way to navigate this turbulent ocean, called Covid or Lockdown, in order to reach your goals is to relax into where the “ocean” is pulling you, because there is most certainly a reason you have been brought there. You are being shifted in another direction for a reason. In your fight to continuously swim against the current and keep things the way it was you lose sight of the fact that you were meant to swim with it. The moment you realize you cannot control the environment around you, and you can only be aware of it, and control yourself, is the moment you let go of where your ego wants you to be and surrender to where the tide is taking you.
The way to use the Law of Rhythm to your advantage is to be like a swimmer in the open ocean, to be self-aware, mindful and know you cannot control that which is outside of you but to enjoy the swim irrespective because that is who you are and exactly where you were meant to be. The Law of Rhythm is a reason for you to believe that things will change for the better. It is not a matter of “if” but rather “when”. The Law of Rhythm is a reason for you to know that sometimes you will get what you want during flow and sometimes it will happen during the ebb tide. The Law of Rhythm is a reason for you to know that you can set your sights on anything that you desire. You just do not get to say when, nor do you get to say how it comes to you. You do not get to wrap your own gift, but your gift will arrive.

Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek expected fine for fans storming field after Texas win: 'It was worth it'
Arkansas’ 2021 season couldn’t have gotten off to a better start.
After opening with a victory against Rice, the Razorbacks had another home matchup this past Saturday, when it welcomed Texas — which was ranked No. 15 at the time — to Fayetteville. And by the end of the night, Arkansas fans were storming the field in celebration of the team’s 40-21 victory.
However, that postgame celebration didn’t come without repercussions. The SEC does not allow fans to go onto the field at any time, meaning Arkansas is getting fined for what happened Saturday night.
But that’s OK with Razorbacks athletic director Hunter Yurachek, who discussed the events with the Hawgs Illustrated Sports Club on Wednesday.
“If you saw the stands, they started to come down from the top with about two minutes to go,” Yurachek said, per Matt Jones of Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. “There was not a law enforcement official that I would have wanted to put in front of those students to try to stop them. That was not going to create a good scene for us.
“I’ll take the $100,000 — and again, not being flippant about $100,000 because it’s a significant amount of money — but it was worth it.”
It won’t be the first time that Arkansas has been fined for fans storming the field. It also happened after the Razorbacks defeated LSU on Nov. 15, 2014.
Although Arkansas has to pay up, it doesn’t change the fact that the team is now 2-0 with a big win over Texas. And so it makes sense why Yurachek understands how excited Razorbacks fans are because of the start to this season.
Now, Arkansas will play at home again this Saturday, when it takes on Georgia Southern at 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

FDA Demands Answers from 21 Vaping Companies
The FDA has begun enforcing a major provision of its Deeming Rule, more than two years after the rule went into effect. The Deeming Rule prohibits products from being introduced to the market after Aug. 8, 2016 without first going through premarket review by the agency. No product has yet been submitted for review.
The agency has sent letters to 21 vaping importers and sellers asking for evidence that some of their products were on the market before the 2016 deadline. Some of the named products almost certainly did not meet that deadline, which makes them in violation of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). This is a full list of the cited products:
- Suorin Vagon (American Vapor LLC)
- Baton Nicotine Salts and Baton Pods (Baton LLC)
- Nicosurge Nicotine Inhaler (Black Mountain Fulfillment, LLC)
- PHIX Pods (ECS Global LLC)
- JUUL Compatible Pod System and other devices and pods (Eonsmoke LLC)
- myblu Starter Kit (Fontem USA Inc.)
- RUBI (Kandypens Inc.)
- PIXL (Kretek International, Inc.)
- Vapeleaf (Logic Technology Development, LLC)
- Juno E-Vapor Battery and other Juno products (Magellan Technology Inc.)
- Maja Flavor Eliquids and Maja Flava Salty Crystal Starter Kit (Maja Flava Vape Den)
- Bo One, Bo Plus, bo CAPS (MMS ECVD Distribution, LLC)
- MYLE Devices, MYLE Pods, MYLE Starter Kits (Myle Vape Inc.)
- Vuse Alto (Reynolds American Inc.)
- Sutra Dash POD Vaporizer (Sutra Vape)
- Mi-Pod, Smoking Vapor E-Liquids (SV3 LLC)
- Vertipod Device, Vertipod Starter Kit (Vertigo Vapor LLC)
- STIG Disposable Pod Devices (VGOD Inc.)
- ALD POD Systems (VMR Products LLC)
- Xfire E-Cigarette Pen, Xfire Starter Kits (Xfire Inc.)
- Ziip Pods, Zpods (ZLab S.A.)
Most of the devices are pod and mini vapes, which have been the subject of attacks from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and other tobacco control groups. Anti-vaping activists believe all pod vapes are attempts to copy the JUUL, which has been the subject of a coordinated campaign of misinformation in an attempt to portray vaping in general and JUUL specifically as deliberately trying to lure teenagers into nicotine use.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is portraying what should be understood as routine regulatory enforcement action as an extraordinary step that will somehow affect what he calls the “epidemic” of teen vaping. Luckily for Gottlieb, the mainstream press has virtually no understanding of the issues, so his pronouncements are largely repeated without critical questioning. Some of the products named in this action were on the market before the cutoff date, and some weren’t. But removing any or all of them will only force people to buy other similar products.
In the last year, the FDA has swung wildly from seeming to show some understanding for the millions of vapers who have used e-cigarettes to avoid the dangers of smoking cigarettes to enthusiastically joining hands with the anti-vaping organizations that have applied pressure on the agency to ban vaping products, and have even sued the FDA to reinstate the 2018 PMTA deadline.
The FDA would like the tobacco control groups, vape-denouncing politicians, and politically active parents that are hyping the supposed teen juuling epidemic to think that the action against these pod sellers will somehow address some of their concerns. And the agency wants the public to believe that pointless sanctions on fringe elements of the Chinese vaping industry represent meangingful enforcement actions.
“Companies are on notice – the FDA will not allow the proliferation of e-cigarettes or other tobacco products potentially being marketed illegally and outside of the agency’s compliance policy, and we will take swift action when companies are skirting the law,” said Commissioner Gottlieb. His boss, HHS Secretary Alex Azar, is on board with the FDA’s new stance too, and that means the upper echelons of the Trump administration won’t get in Gottlieb’s way.
Now the FDA commissioner claims that the agency will learn exactly how many teens are using each kind of vaping product. That’s quite a promise to make, considering it took the massive federal agency two years to take any enforcement action to support its regulations, and that it never seems to do anything at all without being motivated by extreme political pressure.

Abdulfatah Ahmed, the Governor of Kwara State, on Saturday declared his intention to contest for the Kwara South senatorial district in the 2019 general elections.
Governor Ahmed, who announced his declaration via a post on Twitter, expressed his desire to the representative of his constituency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In actualisation of his ambition, Governor Ahmed, who recently defected to the PDP from the All Progressives Congress, APC, has picked up the expression of interest and senatorial nomination forms of the opposition party, and attached a picture in the tweet displaying both.
According to him, he decided to contest for the senatorial position after he was prevailed upon by his constituents to continue the work of governance he has done as the state Governor for the past seven years.
"In response to calls by my people and in keeping with my strong desire to upscale the excellent work we have done in all three zones of the state, through effective, purposeful representation, I have picked up the PDP nomination form for Kwara South Senatorial District", Governor Ahmed tweeted.

Well i just bought the JG-Bar 10 and it was working great for like 2 weeks now. All the sudden i went out side to shoot it and i cant. First I could pull back the bolt and slowly put it back into the fire position but now i cant even do that. Now all I can do is pull the bolt back but then when i go to return it to the fire position it just slams forward. Its not slam firing tho because even in i have a mag in it doesnt fire anything. I dont no what to do and i dont want to tell my mom cause she got mad that i spent 130 bucks on a gun. Is it a broken piece. HELP. What i think is that the spring isn't catching onto what ever it catches onto. I haven't taken it apart because i have no clue what I'm doing.

This report focuses on the transport of cargo and passengers by sea and inland on Lake Volta. It includes comprehensive information on the country and its ports and water transport infrastructure, the state and size of the sector, trade statistics, regulations, developments and influencing factors including the economic environment and coronavirus. There are profiles of 21 companies including Meridian Port Services, which operates Tema port, Maersk Ghana, a major player in the liner and break-bulk segments, and Supermaritime Ghana, which has a major share of the dry bulk segment.
Sea, Coastal and Inland Water Transport in Ghana
As a gateway to the Gulf of Guinea and an important sub-regional transit trade corridor, Ghana is a strategically important maritime trading hub. Ghana’s sea, coastal and inland water transport system facilitates trade and plays a crucial role in the movement of passengers and goods. Its Tema port contains the largest container terminal in West Africa. Ghana’s commercial ports collectively receive more than 3,000 vessel calls annually and handle around 85% of the country’s total trade volumes.
Expansion and Modernisation
Ghana received 314 fewer vessel calls in 2019 than the prior year, and while the volume of traffic was lower, the upgrading of Tema Port has allowed larger ships to dock. The expansion and modernisation of Ghana’s port infrastructure have improved efficiency and eased port congestion. Increased efficiency and streamlined processes have lowered the cost of doing business. Port authorities are focusing on accelerating turnaround times.
Construction of the US$330m Boankra Integrated Logistics Terminal, aimed at boosting coastal shipping and inland water transport to reduce congestion on road networks, started in November after an 18 year delay. The terminal, scheduled for completion in 2023, is expected to reduce the cost of transporting cargo to and from the middle and northern regions of Ghana. The Trans-Volta logistics project set to start in 2021, will establish an inland port network for fuel and cargo transport.

I don't wait to get inspired by something, I just do it. I'm always taking pictures of places and things I come in contact with. I get an idea in my head and I look for it.
My choice of subject matter really varies. The subject must have good form ,lots of color, and lead your eye around the piece. A well done piece tells a good story about that artist's life.
Every since I could hold a crayon, I was always doodling. As I got older, my loving parents and family also encouraged me to do more. I took drawing and painting classes , ceramics, and even photographyin high school. I was introduced to watercolors my junior year. Mrs. Worth was a patient woman but she keep challenging me to do more with this medium. That additional support from her helped me become the artist I am.
Before I start painting, I know what the finished product will look like when it's done. I only have two dedicated days per week to work on pieces, so it can take up to three months for me to finish one. I start in one spot and the brush tells me where to go next. I always try to paint what I see, not what I know.
When I am done, I study the piece to see if I need to add more colors, shadows or highlights. I have a couple of really trusting friends that get to look and tell me what they think before I show it to the public.
My paintings are a window to an inner world that no one has access to. I want people to look at my work and have an "AHHHHA" moment and make a personal connection.
I'm not sure where my art is headed next, but I look forward to the opportunities it leads me to. Whatever lies ahead, I want to grow as a individual on a professional level while still enjoying what I do.

Here are just some odds and ends that have brightened my days.
We have had mostly cloudy overcast days that are quite muted as of late.
Then the Lord blessed with this day of glorious sunshine and blue sky!
OH how it cheered my heart!
I also found some lovely vintage signs/ printable on Pinterest. I printed them off, cut them out, layered them over some dark blue card stock and stuck them up.
Something to freshen up the spaces. There are many people who love big open spaces, but not me.
I find that I love "stuff", and I find it interesting.
These new signs make me smile!
You can find them HERE!
Then I've also seen so many beautifully designed pies lately.
I made some of our own...maybe not so beautiful as others,
but very delicious and they made us smile!
It is such a comfort to me and a joy to take notice of simple things in life.
Have you been discouraged? Do you feel like life is a little bit "plain"?
I encourage you to look around you and notice the beauty in God's creation,
to add something new however small to your environment,
or bake yourself something yummy.
Thanks for dropping by!
You also make me smile!
Praying you have a lovely day!

Adam Schiff is living up to his shady reputation. He has admitted that the Democrats will erase evidence so the Republicans cannot get it before they take over the House at the start of the new year. The Washington Examiner reported that Schiff stated, “The evidence will all be made public. Now, we will have to make sure that we scrub that evidence for personally identifiable information, that the evidence that we provide protects people’s security, it doesn’t put them at risk. So, there are things that we’re going to have to do along those lines.” [tweet_embed]November 30, 2022[/tweet_embed] The January 6 committee is a crooked group of liberals determined to try and brand former President Donald Trump as a traitor. They cannot stand that he was right about the dealings deep within the Democrat Party. The Washington Examiner also found that “Renewed doubt has been cast on the committee after several staffers expressed their grievances over the direction it was headed, fueled by concerns about Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). Due to her influence, they claimed, the committee’s focus was too much on former President Donald Trump’s actions during the riot, while findings examining intelligence and law enforcement failures were going to be excluded from the final report entirely.” [tweet_embed]November 30, 2022[/tweet_embed] Schiff is a man who tried to impeach Donald Trump when he was president. He doctored evidence and told people what to say behind closed doors so it would seem that Trump was guilty of heinous crimes. And now he wants to doctor more evidence to hide the fake narrative his party is pushing. The Democrats have lied to the American people since President Joe Biden took office. And now that the Republicans have stopped their deeds, they want to hide the evidence that will incriminate them.

In the “PUBG Mobile: Stimulus Battlefield”, it is to be asked which sniper rifle player’s favorite firearms are. I believe everyone will answer in unison and “AWM” has no dispute. , AWM is a sniper gun player’s favorite. Not only is the sharp appearance of the water chestnut, but also because his single bullet damage is the most rifle.
Analysis of Firearms
AWM is a pull-type sniper rifle. The single-shot feature makes its own requirement for stability improvement not high. In fact, high-powered mirrors can pose a great threat to the enemy at medium and long distances.
AWM accessory support: muzzle, magazine clip, buttstock, sighting aid
Muzzle accessories: sniper rifle compensator, sniper rifle flame arrester, sniper rifle muffler
Clip accessories: sniper rifle quick clip, sniper rifle expansion clip, sniper rifle rapid expansion clip
buttstock accessories: pallets
Sighting support: red dot (holographic), double lens, quadruple lens, eightfold lens
Bullet Model: . 300 Magnum (dedicated)
Clip capacity: 5 rounds, 7 rounds expanded
AWM is embodied in its own role ,Remotely. As a single-shot sniper rifle, recoil impact on the firing performance of the firearm itself will not be too great, therefore, muzzle compensators and flame arresters are generally reserved as an alternative. However, the silencer can perfectly reflect the concealing effect of long-distance distance. Therefore, in addition to other basic accessories, the most important accessories are “sniper rifle muffler”!
AWM can only be obtained by airdrop. The items that appear in each drop are different, so the method of obtaining is relatively difficult. Also, its dedicated Magnum bullets appear at the same time as the firearms. There are fewer shots. Therefore, when shooting, it is necessary to pay attention to the shooting accuracy and avoid wasting bullets.
AWM recommends use of an 8x lens and a 4x lens. Because it is a single-shot mechanism, it is difficult to shoot at enemies in the movement. Use the eight-fold mirror to move the enemy at a distance from a distance. You can drag the viewpoint to follow the target and open the gun in advance. However, if you use an eight-fold mirror to aim at a medium-range or closer-moving enemy, it is difficult to keep up with the moving target speed. At this point the replacement of four times the lens can be the perfect solution to this problem.
The advantage of AWM is undoubtedly one of the most important ones. Equipped with an eight-fold mirror can kill enemies at ultra-long distances and make it difficult for opponents to fight back. The most important thing is that the power is the best among the firearms. In addition to firing a very high shotgun at close range, the AWM is the only firearm that can shoot down a full of bloody enemies. Of course you need to aim at the head.
The disadvantage of AWM is that the threat to the moving target is relatively small because of the single shot and it requires a certain amount of preloading. Sentenced. The close combat tolerance rate is relatively low. Therefore, when you are close to the enemy, do not use AWM. Otherwise, it will not be worth the candle.
AWM firearm trajectory in game The scene can be seen. When attacking a distant enemy, the bullet needs a short flight time. Therefore, when using the AWM, it is necessary to pay attention to the law of the enemy’s movement and to master the advance gun skill, you can easily deal with the enemies in the distant movement.


US organizations to hold march in Washington DC protesting of Israel’s settler-colonialism
RAMALLAH, Friday, May 28, 2021 (WAFA) – US organizations are scheduled on Saturday to hold a march in Washington DC in protest of Israel’s settler-colonialism, apartheid and military occupation.
The pro-human rights grassroots organizations have issued online calls for mobilization for the National March for Palestine, which will be the largest protest in U.S. history supporting the Palestinian cause and is organized by dozens of Palestinian, interfaith, and various civil rights organizations and will take place at the Lincoln Memorial.
Meanwhile, Faizan Syed, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called the US to end its support of Israel that is “illegally occupying and brutalizing Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank”.
“We are proud to be part of the growing movement in America that is calling attention to crimes committed by Israel and working to end U.S. support for those crimes,” he added.
“I am a proud American-Palestinian, and I refuse to have my tax dollars fund illegal Israeli settlements, construction of the apartheid wall, human rights violations, and the killing of Palestinian children,” said Fadya Risheq, organizer of the bus delegation who will be traveling to D.C. “I’m going to D.C. to let my government know that it must immediately stop its support of Israel that continues to commit crimes against Palestinians”.

By using MapleSim and the MapleSim Connector for B&R Automation Studio, automation engineers can dramatically reduce the time they spend developing and analyzing their models, with the potential to save literally months of work in some cases.
Waterloo, Canada (PRWEB) November 26, 2012
New connector product provides seamless integration between product lines
Maplesoft™ today announced the release of a new product that allows engineers to integrate high-performance, multidomain system models from MapleSim into B&R Automation Studio. The MapleSim Connector for B&R Automation Studio is the result of a partnership between Maplesoft and B&R, the global leader in industrial automation, formed to bring together products from both companies to save engineers time and effort for hardware-in-the-loop simulations and controller development.
MapleSim is an advanced physical modeling and simulation tool that applies modern techniques to dramatically reduce model development and analysis time while producing fast, high-fidelity simulations. B&R Automation Studio is an integrated engineering development environment that allows the controller, drive, communication, and visualization phases of a development project to all be configured in a single environment. With this new connectivity between products, complex engineering system models can be rapidly developed and optimized in the intuitive visual modeling environment of MapleSim, and then the high-performance, high-fidelity MapleSim models are automatically converted to code for easy inclusion into B&R Automation Studio. The model code is fully optimized for high-speed real-time simulation, allowing engineers to get the performance needed for hardware, software, and operator-in-the-loop testing, without sacrificing fidelity.
“Engineers can save significant time by determining the properties of their system before building a physical prototype through system-level modeling,” says Dr. Laurent Bernardin, Executive Vice President, R&D, Maplesoft. “With the drag-and-drop physical modeling environment of MapleSim, Automation Studio users can easily add a system-level modeling phase to their workflow, without the need for difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone mathematical derivations. With a system-level model, engineers can optimize for the desired behavior of individual elements without risk of unexpected side effects in other parts of the system.”
“This partnership offers our customers many real benefits,” says Kurt Zehetleitner, Technical Manager Automation Software, B&R. “By using MapleSim and the MapleSim Connector for B&R Automation Studio, automation engineers can dramatically reduce the time they spend developing and analyzing their models, with the potential to save literally months of work in some cases. The resulting high-fidelity models are so fast that they can be used directly in hardware-in-the-loop simulations. With more accurate models in the testing phase, fewer expensive physical prototypes are needed. In addition, controller design and optimization begun in MapleSim can then be continued in hardware-in-the-loop tests with B&R Automation Studio on the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) level.”
B&R is a privately owned company with headquarters in Austria and offices all around the world.
As a global leader in industrial automation, B&R combines state-of-the-art technology with advanced engineering to provide customers in virtually every industry with complete solutions for machine and process automation, motion control, HMI and integrated safety technology.
With industrial fieldbus communication standards like POWERLINK and openSAFETY as well as the powerful Automation Studio software development environment, B&R is constantly redefining the future of automation engineering.
The innovative spirit that keeps B&R at the forefront of industrial automation is driven by a commitment to simplifying processes and exceeding customer expectations.

A top Iranian general warned Saturday that the country could increase its missile range beyond 2,000 kilometers if it feels threatened by Europe.
Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami, head of the powerful Revolutionary Guards, also claimed Israel was afraid to go to war with Lebanese terror group Hezbollah because this would lead to the annihilation of the Jewish state.
Salami said Iran could expand its missile range and had only not done so because it did not see Europe as a threat.
“If we have kept the range of our missiles to 2,000 kilometers, it’s not due to lack of technology. … We are following a strategic doctrine,” he said, according to a Reuters translation of a Fars report.
“So far we have felt that Europe is not a threat, so we did not increase the range of our missiles. But if Europe wants to turn into a threat, we will increase the range of our missiles,” he added.
In October, Revolutionary Guards Commander Ali Jafari acknowledged for the first time that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has imposed limits on the country’s ballistic missile program.
“Our missiles’ range is 2,000 kilometers, and that can be increased, but we believe this range is enough for the Islamic Republic as most of the US forces and most of their interests in the region are within this range,” Jafari said in comments carried by the Tasnim news agency and translated by Reuters.
However, in 2015 Iran reportedly tested the Soumar missile, which can reach as far as 2,500 kilometers, putting southeastern Europe as far as Budapest in Tehran’s gunsights.
France has led an effort for the European Union to confront Iran over continued ballistic missile tests, which have remained a point of contention after 2015’s landmark nuclear deal.
Like Iran, the EU maintains that ballistic missile tests do not breach the nuclear deal. Israel, the US and others say they are in contravention of the accord, because the missiles be used to carry nuclear weapons.
In an interview earlier this month, French president Emmanuel Macron called for vigilance towards Tehran over its ballistic missile program and regional activities.
“It is important to remain firm with Iran over its regional activities and its ballistic program,” he said.
Iran has responded by saying the accord and missile development are not up for negotiation.
Salami also said the Saudis were trying to push Israel into war against Iranian proxy group Hezbollah, but Jerusalem was afraid to fight them.
“The Zionist regime did not respond to this request and understood that any new war would lead to their disappearance,” he said, according to Fars.
His statements echoed those of Jafari Thursday.
“It is a proven claim that today we say any new war will lead to the eradication of the Zionist regime,” Jafari told Iranian reporters in Tehran according to semi-official media outlets.
Also on Thursday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim world to fight “cancerous tumor” Israel.
“Today, the issue of Palestine is the primary issue among the Muslim world, since it has been an Islamic country usurped and turned into a means of sabotaging the security of several countries in the region,” Khamenei tweeted. “This cancerous tumor [Zionist regime] should be fought against.”
Israel has raised alarm bells over Hezbollah and Iranian military activity in southern Syria and has vowed to protect the country from any provocation, including reportedly bombing advanced weapons transfers.
Iran’s leaders routinely call for the demise of Israel. Iran funds, trains and arms terror groups in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia has accused Iran and Hezbollah of working against its interests, including firing a rocket at Riyadh from Yemen which was shot down.
Salami said Iran, which backs the Yemeni Houthi rebels, had nothing to do with the rocket, saying the Houthis had developed it themselves.

We have our soils tested for the amount of fines, etc. Then its just sand base and the bottom boulder is buried. The fabric is wrapped behind and under to keep erosion from happening.
We had 5" of rain at our site last Friday. Half the site drained to our wall and the silt fence/erosion control guy wasn't there to put a fence behind our wall. It eroded then blew out the top half of the wall that I just finished so I'm in the process of rebuilding a 50x14' section and using longer geo-grid and about 160 tons of sand for just that 50' portion. This site is horrendous for the back fill soil.
And as for the base by the ponds. There are 2 to 3 boulders buried underground.
I'm uploading some more pictures and videos.

The International Crimes Tribunal-1 on Sunday held back its order until October 20 on the contempt of court charge made against Barrister AKM Fakhrul Islam, counsel for the condemned war crimes convict Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, a BNP stalwart.
The three-member tribunal, headed by Justice M Enayetur Rahim, refrained from passing its order in the absence of the accused-contemnor.
Earlier, before making its revised order, Fakhrul’s counsel Alf-e-Sani had informed the tribunal that his client, now in custody in a case filed over leaking the draft of the ICT verdict, was meanwhile denied bail by the designated court.
On January 14, 2013, the tribunal show-caused barrister Fakhrul to explain why contempt proceedings should not be drawn against him for the petition seeking explanation from the tribunal members whether they were privy to alleged skypegate over conducting the trial, terming mala fide the petition to deliberately malign the tribunal judges and create confusion about the judges in public mind.
.On December 11, 2012, first chairman of the ICT-1 Justice M Nizamul Huq resigned in the wake of controversy over his judicial conduct in running the war crimes trial as he had allegedly been receiving advice regularly through email communication and skype conversations with Dr Ahmed Ziauddin, a Brussels-based Bangladeshi expert on international war crimes.
A vernacular daily Amar Desh made the skypegate public.

Nearly 60 years after it closed its doors, the Harriet Tubman School in Columbia will reopen this weekend, transformed as a cultural and education center to highlight historic contributions of Black Howard County residents.
A public ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Harriet Tubman Cultural Center will be held 10:30 a.m., Saturday, at 8045 Harriet Tubman Lane, Columbia.
The cultural center and the former junior/senior high school were named to honor Harriet Tubman, who was born into slavery in Dorchester County, escaped, then took part in more than a dozen missions to rescue 70 other enslaved people via a network of safe houses known as the Underground Railroad in the 1850s.
The foundation, led by 1962 Harriet Tubman School graduate Bessie Bordenave, has championed the school’s history and preservation since 2002.
The Harriet Tubman School was Howard County’s only all-Black high school, operating from 1949 to 1965. After it closed due to desegregation efforts, the Board of Education used the building as a maintenance facility for 50 years.
In October 2015, the Howard County Public School System transferred ownership of the Tubman school site to the county to be preserved as a historic, educational and cultural center.
More than $9.38 million was invested to transform the building, with $7.53 million coming from Howard County and $1.85 million from the state.
Howard County Times: Top stories
“Our substantial investment in this project reflects our commitment to learning from our past and creating an even brighter future, full of more opportunity for all,” County Executive Calvin Ball said in a statement. “I’m so grateful to the Harriet Tubman Foundation for its ongoing work to preserve our history.”
The completed cultural center includes a recreated classroom and principal’s office, artwork and photographic displays and historical exhibits as well as rentable spaces, including a 1,700-square-foot multipurpose room, an auditorium and a recording studio.
The county’s Department of Recreation and Parks will operate the facility. Visit howardcountymd.gov/recreation-parks/htcc to learn more.

Residents of Texas who take legally-prescribed drugs need to be aware that it’s possible to face DWI charges while taking those drugs. It’s important to understand why this is the case.
Is it illegal to drive when you take prescription drugs?
As long as you’re not impaired, it’s not against the law to drive while on legally-prescribed drugs.
However, if the drug causes intoxication, you shouldn’t drive. It can lead to an unsafe situation for you and everyone else sharing the road. If a police officer sees you driving erratically, they can pull you over and arrest you for driving while intoxicated.
How can prescription drugs impair you?
Depending on the type of prescription drug, you can experience certain side effects. Some drugs are dangerous to use when you’re driving or operating machinery of any kind and can cause the following effects:
- Blurred vision
- Slowed movement
- Slowed reaction time
What can happen if you’re arrested for DWI while on prescription drugs?
Drivers who are found to be on prescription drugs can be charged with DWI just like those impaired by alcohol or illicit drugs. A first offense of DWI on prescription drugs is considered a class B misdemeanor, which means if you’re convicted, you can face up to six months in jail and be required to pay a maximum fine of $2,000. You might even have your driver’s license suspended for one year.
With a prior conviction of DWI even if it’s not due to prescription drugs, the charges are elevated to a class A misdemeanor or even a felony in the first degree, both of which carry harsher penalties. In addition to a jail term and higher fines, other penalties that come with a conviction may include probation, community service, mandatory courses and rehab.
Even with the lesser misdemeanor conviction, these are criminal charges that can dramatically change your life for the worse. It’s possible to have trouble securing housing, a job or being accepted into certain schools.
Being safe while driving is important. Avoid driving if you’re taking a prescription drug that impairs you.


With the hustle and bustle of city life, sometimes it’s hard to find peace and quiet. But what if we told you a relaxing escape is just a kayak or paddleboard away? Oh, and it’s literally in the heart of Bay City? This is Float Paddle Center!
Husband and wife owners Rick Learman and Kristi Kozubal have day jobs – he’s an attorney and she works for the Michigan Small Business Development Center – but Float is their passion. This one-of-a-kind business in Bay City got its start during a conversation about the Millennial economy. Turns out paddlesports are growing incredibly fast in that generation. Long story short, Learman and Kozubal did their research, combined it with their love of the outdoors, and figured out a way to bring something new to Bay City just in time for the 2019 Tall Ships Celebration. “Getting out on the river is natural for us,” Learman said. “Boat life is the best life.”
You’ll find Float Paddle Center – with a growing lifestyle brand of retail goods – right next to the Ted Putz Nature Area at the corner of Salzburg Avenue and S. Wenona Street (next door to Bay City’s greatest bar & deli, The Wanigan Eatery).
Customers can rent single- or tandem kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to launch into the Saginaw River just a few steps out back of the shop.
“It’s quick and easy to get on the water,” Kozubal said. They’ve had to get creative – as the park doesn’t include a kayak launch yet – but they’ve made it work with rubber mats and grassy slope areas along the shoreline. Their dream is to have a launch put in at the City-owned park and they’ve even begun discussions with the City to improve the area.
If you’ve never been in a kayak or on a paddleboard, Learman and Kozubal say it’s surprisingly easy, even for beginners. It also helps that their business is on the west side of the Saginaw River, away from the commercial shipping channel.
During the week you do have to make a reservation at least three-hours in advance, but on the weekends they’re regularly open from 10am-6pm. There are solo rentals, as well as rentals that fit two adults, or one adult & two children (or a child & a dog). Of course, rentals come with lifejackets. Prices start at $25 for a single kayak or paddleboard for 2 hours. Tandem kayaks begin at $40 for 2 hours.
When you’re on the water you’ll see Bay City from a whole new view. The bird watching is simply incredible – especially near the Michigan Sugar Trails on the Middlegrounds. Paddlers have also seen a lot of non-feathery friends, such as mink, deer, and beaver. Whether you’re looking to find a moment of zen, enjoy the wildlife, or just try something new – you’ll want to check out Float Paddle Center. “The peacefulness of the water is remarkably calm,” Learman said. “It’s quiet even though you’re in town.”
Book your paddle today. And always, whether on land or water, Go With The Float.

Filing asks Court to place Epps on home confinement for remainder of 19 year sentence.
Federal prisoner and former Commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Corrections Chris Epps has asked a federal court to grant him compassionate release, as first reported by Jackson Jambalaya.
Epps, who is serving a 19-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in 2017 to conspiracy to commit money laundering, cited the risk of contracting COVID-19 as the reason he should be released. Coincidentally, the inmate has already had the virus based on the filing which states Epps has previously “suffered from a confirmed case of COVID-19.”
The former MDOC Commissioner is in a Texas prison and is currently scheduled for release in July 2033, if not sooner, the court filing references.
Epps’ attorney states that he has “an array of illnesses,” including hyperlipidermia, hypertension, unspecified glaucoma, enlarged prostate, and gout.
“As the Court is well aware, the health risks associated with COVID-19 are grave and can be fatal,” the motion states. “The hazardous situation caused by COVID-19, combined with the law analyzed below, justifies allowing Mr. Epps to serve the remaining months of his sentence on house arrest.”
The request was made to the U.S. Southern District Court in Mississippi.
Epps further argues that with he being “a 60 years old ‘Black or African American’ person, he falls within the category of those who need extra precautions in accordance with the CDC.” The motion goes on to say if he is released, he would quarantine and socially distance himself, even though he no longer has the virus.
The motion, filed on May 28, 2021, ends with this summation:
“In summary, the COVID-19 virus is highly transmissible, extraordinarily dangerous, and poses a severe threat to Mr. Epps. The conditions at FCI Seagoville do not allow Mr. Epps to take the self-care measures required by the CDC to protect his safety. Therefore, he asks the Court to order his immediate release from prison, and further order that he serve the remainder of his sentence on home confinement.”
As of this reporting, no action has been taken on this matter.
