The city’s powerful teachers union announced Wednesday that it endorsed Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bid for re-election, and vowed to battle with U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos if she threatens New York City’s public schools.
The endorsement comes as little surprise, since the United Federation of Teachers has been a reliable ally of de Blasio’s throughout his tenure and supports many aspects of the mayor’s education agenda.
Though UFT President Michael Mulgrew has more recently broken with City Hall on some minor policy issues, Wednesday’s announcement signals the powerful union will stand by the mayor — and broadly, his education platform — through his re-election battle this fall.
After Tuesday’s contentious Senate confirmation of DeVos, who has no personal experience with public schools and supports private school vouchers, both Mulgrew and de Blasio said they wanted to stand together in support of public education.
“Considering what happened yesterday, it became so simple for us that we know we’re going into another war,” Mulgrew said. “We know we’re going into this and it’s an amazing thing to us that we’re going into it with a mayor standing on our side.”
For his part, de Blasio agreed. While accepting the endorsement, de Blasio also pledged to fight the shifting winds in Washington.
“It’s not the first surreal thing that we’ve seen in the last few months, but it’s a really troubling one if your heart is with children,” de Blasio said of DeVos’s confirmation. “This is a tough week for anyone who cares about public education.”
After years of rancor between the UFT and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Mulgrew and de Blasio have enjoyed a mostly friendly relationship. In 2014, Mulgrew secured a long-term contract that raised teacher salaries and, facilitated by state policy shifts, recently agreed to a revamped teacher evaluation system that will allow for new ways to judge teacher progress, such as evaluating portfolios of student work.
The union leader is also supportive of the city’s “community schools” model, which provides additional resources to struggling schools. Mulgrew described his strategy at an event last October. While it is good to have a “foe” at City Hall, he said, it’s better to have someone who can help enact changes important to union members.
Recently, Mulgrew displayed a slight shift in his tone. He openly disagreed with the mayor’s decision to ban suspensions for students in kindergarten through second grade and in an interview with Chalkbeat said it is time to create some “positive friction” with the city.
On Wednesday, Mulgrew acknowledged that he has had “positive friction” with the mayor, but mainly focused on the mayor’s education accomplishments.
“It was a breath of fresh air to have a mayor who really was dedicated to the public schools, but that wasn’t enough for us to do this endorsement,” Mulgrew said. “We’ve had a real partner. Someone who really understands education.”
That’s a far cry from how Mulgrew has described Mayor Michael Bloomberg. During Bloomberg’s tenure, the union held rallies at City Hall and fought about virtually every aspect of the mayor’s education agenda, including the teachers union contract and Bloomberg’s push to close struggling schools and open more charter schools.
Bloomberg once called the union’s endorsement the “kiss of death.” Mulgrew fought back, saying, “Right now most candidates would rather be the victim of a zombie attack than get a Michael Bloomberg endorsement.”
Advocacy groups that typically oppose the unions and de Blasio quickly expressed displeasure with the endorsement and characterized it as a political deal.
“It’s no surprise that the teachers union would pay back Mayor de Blasio’s steady stream of sweetheart deals with a political endorsement, but the sad reality is that no one in this equation is looking out for underserved students,” said StudentsFirstNY Executive Director Jenny Sedlis.
The teachers union did not support de Blasio in the 2013 Democratic primary, though it did support him in the general election. This election cycle, de Blasio has already received early endorsements from other unions. Randi Weingarten, former head of the UFT and current head of the American Federation of Teachers, recently hosted a fundraiser in Washington for his re-election campaign.

May is Provider Appreciation Month:
Being a child care provider is not an easy job, but it certainly is one of the most important. It is also one of the lowest paying and least celebrated.
The wages childcare providers receive certainly do not reflect the importance or the demands of their work.
Further, even though child care providers work hard and have a very important job, sometimes the nature of the job means that they don't have access to health care or other important benefits. As a profession, they don't always get the respect they deserve. And, working with children all day, even though it is rewarding for many child care providers, is also isolating work with little adult contact.
Provider Appreciation Day is a yearly even for parents and the Community to recognize the importance of childcare providers. This year it is celebrated on Friday, May 7. Providers support families and make it possible for many parents to work and contribute to the national economy. Provider Appreciation Day began in 1996. A group of volunteers put it together to bring attention to and applaud the every day dedication and good work of child care providers. Since 1996, it has been on the Friday before Mother's Day.
Some things to do for your provider: gift certificates, a paid day off, flowers, cards, candy, anything that will let them know that they are important to you!
I repeat this not because I'm asking for gifts, but becuase I think a lot of the time, people don't realize what my job is. Sure, I stay at home, but I also lack adult contact, must adhere to strict rules and regulations regarding cleaning/sanitizing, and make less than $4/hour. My home is my work, and my work is my home. I chose this knowing full well what I was doing -- but not understanding how little appreciation others would show me.
Thankfully, the children that are in my care have wonderful parents who tell me often how much they appreciate me. I often get "I don't know how you do this" and the truth is, there are times when I'm not sure myself. In the end, I love my job, I love my kids and I love their families. The idea of Provider Appreciation is nice, I'm just thankful that I get it more than just once a year from the people who matter most to me.

Reports identified the body as Salvatore Montagna, although police would not comment.
The FBI once called him the acting boss of the Bonanno crime family – prompting one of New York’s tabloids to call him the “Bambino Boss” because of his rise to power in his mid-30s.
Nicknamed “Sal The Iron Worker”, he owned and operated a successful steel business in the United States.
Montagna’s death is the latest in a series of Mafia-related killings and disappearances over the last two years. He was considered a contender to take over the decimated Rizzuto family.
A provincial police spokesman said that a private citizen called after seeing a body along the shores of the L’Assomption River. He also reported hearing gunshots.
A post mortem is being held to find the cause of death.
Montagna was born in Montreal but raised in Sicily. He moved to the US at 15 but never obtained citizenship.
The married father of three was deported to Canada from the US in 2009 because of a conviction for refusing to testify before a grand jury on illegal gambling.
He pleaded guilty to the minor charge, but it made him ineligible to stay in the US. Montagna had no criminal record in Canada and re-entered without trouble.
His arrival in Montreal occurred only months before members of the Rizzuto family began being killed.
There has been speculation that Montagna was part of the new Mafia leadership in Montreal and was trying to reorganise the group.

Top Nigerian artist, Wizkid aka Starboy has been accounted for to have hit large with the 2016 record deal with RCA Records which remains the greatest music deal yet by an African music artist.
As indicated by a report on the official site of the Grammy Awards, Drake’s 2016 worldwide hit One Dance, when the most-gushed tune on Spotify was the venturing stone to show him the way to getting one of Africa’s greatest music send out.
A selection from the report peruses:
“Currently, Afrobeats is the next international sound sweeping pop music. Major stars like Kanye West and Rick Ross have all collaborated with Afrobeats acts. Drake’s 2016 international hit One Dance, once the most-streamed song on Spotify, featured Nigerian Afrobeats artist Wizkid, who would go on to sign with RCA Records in what became the biggest record deal ever for an African artist.”
The artist whose full name is Ayodeji Balogun has since been trending on Twitter as Nigerians take their turns to react to the reports
Key word: biggest record deal in Africa, we dea for the same table no mean say we b mate

Vitalik Buterin spilled the beans on the biggest remaining challenges for Ethereum, While the concept of stealth addresses seems complex in theory, Buterin has previously described it as a “low-tech approach” compared to other Ethereum privacy solutions.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared a possible solution to what he describes as the biggest remaining challenge for Ethereum.
In a blog post on January 20, Buterin acknowledged the need to find privacy solutions because by default, all information that goes to a public blockchain is also public.
He then arrived at the concept of a “stealth address” which according to him has the potential to anonymize peer-to-peer transactions, nonfungible token transfers (NFT), and Ethereum Name Service (ENS) registrations, in order to protect users.
In the blog post, Buterin explains how on-chain transactions can be carried out between two parties with anonymity.
First, a user wishing to receive assets will generate and store an “expenditure key” which is then used to generate a stealth meta address.
This address that can be registered with the ENS is then forwarded to the sender who can perform cryptographic computations on the meta address to generate a stealth address, which belongs to the recipient.
The sender can then transfer the asset to the recipient's stealth address in addition to issuing a temporary key to confirm that the stealth address belongs to the recipient.
The effect of this is that a new stealth address is generated for every new transaction.
Vitalik Buterin noted that the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, in addition to a key masquerading mechanism needs to be implemented to ensure that the link between the stealth address and the user's meta address is publicly visible.
The co-founder of Ethereum added that ZK-SNARKs, a cryptographically resistant technology with built-in privacy features can transfer funds to pay transaction fees.
However, Vitalik Buterin stressed that this could create Live draw sdy its own problems at least in the short term by stating that this consumes a lot of fuel, an additional hundreds of thousands of fuel for just one transfer.
Stealth addresses have long been touted as a solution to address on-chain privacy concerns, having been in the works since early 2014. But so far very few solutions have been brought to market.
This is also not the first time Buterin has discussed the concept of stealth addresses on Ethereum.
In August, he dubbed stealth addresses a “low-tech approach” for anonymously transferring ownership of ERC-721 tokens — otherwise known as NFTs.
The Ethereum co-founder explained that the proposed stealth address concept offers different privacy to Tornado Cash which is now approved by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC):
“Tornado Cash can hide transfers of major convertible assets like large ETH or ERC20 […] but is very weak at adding privacy to obscure ERC20 transfers, and cannot add privacy to NFT transfers at all.”
Buterin offers some suggestions for a Web3 project developing a solution:
“Basic stealth addresses can be mcitytoto implemented fairly quickly today, and could be a significant boost for practical user privacy on Ethereum.”
They do require some work on the wallet side to support them. That said, it is my view that wallets should start moving towards a more genuine multi-address model […] for other privacy-related reasons as well,” he added.
Buterin suggests that stealth addresses can pose "long-term usability problems," such as problems of social recovery. However, he believes the problems can be handled properly in time:
“In the long term, this problem can be solved, but the stealth address ecosystem in the long term looks like one that is going to rely heavily on zero-knowledge evidence,” he explained.


Beautiful bored people of Munich, if you’re looking for a truly unique hidden gem to visit in Bavaria, we have a new tip for you: the gorgeous Barockgarten Egloffstein, AKA the Egloffstein Baroque Garden in English.
… This is hands down one of the most random and wonderful things we’ve come across during our Bavarian travels, and a must-see in Franconian Switzerland.
Imagine an ornate monumental garden that belongs in Southern Italy, tucked away on a quiet residential road in the middle of Bavaria. Yes, this probably the most glorious private garden in the state, and it’s free for you to check out and photograph.
In this post, we’ll share a brief history of this quirky wonder, along with tips on how you can visit for yourself from Munich.
Egloffstein Baroque Garden: Fast Facts
Address: Paradiesweg 142
Opening hours: The garden is clearly visible from the street (all our photos were taken from there) at all hours of the day. Unfortunately, according to the official website, due to reasons related to liability law, the garden is not open as a public attraction however many report that the owner will let you in to take a look if he’s around. We were unfortunately not this lucky!
Cost: Free to look and photograph!
A Brief History of the Egloffstein Baroque Garden
According to the garden’s official website, the origin story of the Barockgarten Egloffstein goes a little like this: local man Manfred Ritter was on a walk one day in nearby Gößweinstein when he stumbled upon two monumental vases made of concrete, recently removed from the basilica’s towers, doomed to a fate of recycling.
And while most of us would have walked past, maybe snapped a photo and moved on, Ritter did things a little differently. Instead of leaving the vases as they were, he decide to consult with Church administration and a local architect. This was the beginning of Ritter’s intensely arduous gardening project.
After chatting with all the right people. Ritter was able to get the vases transported to Egloffstein, where he proceeded to build the most epic private garden ever with his BARE HANDS. Okay, it is said that he needed some minor machinery to help with the 1.5 tonne vases, but apart from that, this miraculous garden was a one-man job.
The monumental vases that inspired this dream now stand on 1m high bases, flanking both sides of a beautiful staircase framed by foliage, statues, and columns, evoking some relaxing vibes straight from the South of Italy.
And while the garden has achieved somewhat local fame (it was even used in a German heavy metal music video!), today the garden remains a largely unknown hidden gem, particularly among International visitors. So, why don’t you go check it out for yourself?
How to Reach the Egloffstein Baroque Garden from Munich
Franconian Switzerland is a region best explored by car. All the most noteworthy sights tend to be quite small (imagine little timber villages with not much going on!), so you won’t be spending more than an hour or two in each spot… plus you’ll want to see as many of these gems as possible.
We went to Egloffstein from Munich by car. It’s about 200km away and takes 2.5h. We parked at this Parkplatz, which was very conveniently located right by the walking path to the garden.
Is visiting Egloffstein possible from Munich by public transport? Yes, but you do have to transfer a few times. The quickest way to get there with public transport from Munich is to take an ICE train from Munich to Nuremberg, transfer to Forchheim and then hop on a bus from Forchheim to Egloffstein. Click here to check rates/routes.
Luckily, the main Egloffstein Busbahnhof is located right where we parked, so you’ll also be dropped off very close to the walking path towards the garden. Again, this is not the most straight-forward route to take, so we would definitely recommend coming by car if you can.
The official address according to the info plaque in front of the garden is “Paradiesweg 142”. From the aforementioned Parkplatz/Egloffstein Busbahnhof, you’ll want to find “Paradiesweg” and just walk up. There are even signs (as seen above) that say “Barockgarten”.
This is a very residential path, but I promise you it’s the right way! When in doubt, use Google Maps. The garden is not marked there as “Barockgarten” but if you type in Paradiesweg 142, you’ll be directed to the right place.
Along the walk up, you’ll encounter some beautiful views over town and Egloffstein’s main attraction, their hilltop castle.
As you continue up Paradiesweg, the path getting close to it looks like this. Don’t worry – the walk is not too steep!
Then before long, you’ll see it appear, surrounded by very normal houses! It genuinely emerges out of nowhere in this very quiet residential road – a super special hidden gem for sure!

CARLSBAD, CA--(Marketwired - October 14, 2015) - International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCQB: ISCO), a California-based biotechnology company developing novel stem cell-based therapies and biomedical products, announced today that the Company will make an oral presentation on the comprehensive results of its preclinical development of human parthenogenetic neural stem cells (hPNSCs) for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease at Neuroscience 2015 in Chicago.
Session Title: Therapeutics of Parkinson's Disease: Preclinical Studies
Session Date and Time: Tuesday Oct 20, 2015 8:00 AM - 10:15 AM
Location/Room: McCormick Place/N230
Session Number: 463
"The comprehensive data collected from our extensive GLP studies serve as proof of safety and efficacy for our planned clinical trial for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease in Australia. We look forward to providing an update on the status of our regulatory submission to the Australian government in the near future," said Russell A. Kern, Ph.D. chief scientific officer of ISCO.
ISCO's Parkinson's disease program uses human parthenogenetic neural stem cells (hPNSC) which are a novel therapeutic cellular product derived from the Company's proprietary human pluripotent stem cells. hPNSC are self-renewing multipotent cells that are precursors for the major cells of the central nervous system. The ability of hPNSC to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons and express neurotrophic factors to protect the nigrostriatal system offers a new opportunity for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
About International Stem Cell Corporation
International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) is focused on the therapeutic applications of human parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSCs) and the development and commercialization of cell-based research and cosmetic products. ISCO's core technology, parthenogenesis, results in the creation of pluripotent human stem cells from unfertilized oocytes (eggs). hpSCs avoid ethical issues associated with the use or destruction of viable human embryos. ISCO scientists have created the first parthenogenetic, homozygous stem cell line that can be a source of therapeutic cells for hundreds of millions of individuals of differing genders, ages and racial background with minimal immune rejection after transplantation. hpSCs offer the potential to create the first true stem cell bank, UniStemCell™. ISCO also produces and markets specialized cells and growth media for therapeutic research worldwide through its subsidiary Lifeline Cell Technology (www.lifelinecelltech.com), and stem cell-based skin care products through its subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care (www.lifelineskincare.com).

Ten Tips for Cats Who are Forced to Relocate with Their Owners
For realistic tips for humans who are moving with cats, read Making the Big Move: How to transform relocation into a creative life transition and visit other relocation resources on this site.
1. If you sense your owner plans to move, be on your best behavior.
Revive those terminally cute poses you used to get yourself adopted. Let your owner sleep past 5 AM. Keep your paws out of your owner's hair.
Use the litter box religiously. If you must throw up, head for the bathroom and skip the windowsills.
You do not want your owner to entertain thoughts like, "I don't want to ruin the beautiful floors in our new home," or, "You know, it's really hard to rent an apartment when you have a cat."
2. Here's a great game. Jump into an empty box, stick your head out and hold the pose while your owner runs around looking for a camera. As soon as she appears, finger on snap button, turn around and point your tail at the camera.
You'll learn some new cuss words, guaranteed.
3. The arrival of the moving van is your cue to hide. You can have lots of fun with this one.
Your owner will run around frantically, cursing the movers: "You idiots! You left the door open! Now little Fur-ball is gone forever!"
After they've wasted an hour running around the neighborhood, appear out of nowhere and begin to wash. When they shriek, "Oh there she is!" and try to hug you, summon an aloof glare and wash your face again.
Bonus tip: If you really want to freak them out, hide in your cat carrier.
4. As you begin your twelve-hour drive, remember that your owners would rather listen to your yowling than to the latest tapes or the local weather and news. Keep it up!
5. Demand a sandbox break as soon as your owner begins driving on a road where it is absolutely impossible to pull over. A narrow bridge with bumper-to-bumper traffic is a good choice.
6. Motel etiquette calls for you to sit in the window, looking absolutely adorable. Encourage passers-by to tap on the glass at all hours, especially if your owner has forgotten to draw the curtains.
If you suspect your owners have snuck you into the room without checking, begin yowling as soon as they try to move you to a more secluded spot.
7. When it's time to hit the road at 6 AM, you don't want to be found. If you can position yourself under the queen size bed, out of reach of your owner's arms, you can delay everyone's travel plans for a good half hour. The award for the most creative hiding place goes to the feline who wedged herself between mattress cover and springs.
Caution: This only works if your owner really adores you. If you can't be found in twenty minutes, you might be looking for a new home.
8. Insist on being present when boxes are unpacked. Jump into each box to make sure the contents arrived safely. If your owners lock you into the bathroom "so kitty can't escape," use the opportunity to practice your singing. The movers need entertainment, too.
9. Demand to test each windowsill of the new home. If you still have claws, test the curtains to see if they'll hold your weight. Fifteen pounds? Should be no problem.
Mini-blinds offer limitless opportunities for new versions of torture-the-owner. How many can you bend? How about breaking off a little hole for your head to peek through? Cute.
10. Encourage your owner to get a dog. You may never have to move again. "Honey, we can't move. We could never afford another place where Spot could have a yard."

For my next challenge, I choose an Australian cosmetic brand.
BULLDOG Skincare for Men
This time, lets review a men skincare product.
Honestly, what drawn me to that brand…is the bulldog.
I discovered that brand in Coles supermarket and found the packaging and the concept so attractive!!!
I am also so furiously curious when talking about skincare products….
What is in the formula???
Bulldog natural skincare ingredients formula for man
Bulldog skincare for men Formula
Aqua (Water), Ethylhexyl palmitate, Caprylic/capric triglyceride, Glycerin, Sodium polyacrylate, Sorbitan stearate, Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) oil, Citrus medica limonum(Lemon) oil, Citrus aurantifolia (Lime) oil, Pegargoneum graveolens (Geranium) oil, Artemisia vulgaris (Armoise) oil, Evernia furfuracea (Tree Moss) oil, Pogostemon cablin (Patchouli) oil, Vetiveria zizanoides (Vetivert) oil, Camellia sinensis (Green tea) leaf extract, Chlorella vulgaris extract, Hydrolyzed algin, Tocop
the main ingredient is water
This ingredient is often used in formulations as an emollient to replace petrochemical silicone. It is a processed ingredient from ester alcohol and politic acid. environnement working group refers to ethylhexyl palmitate as: Human irritant – strong evidence (only for products for use around the eyes, on the skin, or may be aerosolized (airborne)
Is Derived from coconut oil and glycerin. It is considered an excellent emollient and skin-repairing ingredient in cosmetics due to its mix of fatty acids that skin can utilize to repair its surface and resist moisture loss.
However it is suspected to be an environmental toxin according to the Canadian substance list.
is an emollient produced from vegetal or petrochemicals ingredients.
is a substance able to absorb 300 times it’s weight in liquid (water or oil). This is the reason why it is used in disposable diapers . It was also used in hygienic tampons, but is now forbidden since it was causing dangerous sides effects such as shocks…and strong infections. Researches to find out if that chemical is safe or not are rare. However, it has been proved that babies wearing diapers with sodium polyacrylates present much more rashes than babies wearing cloth diapers. The reason would be that this substance is absorbing so much liquid ( natural oil and moister) out of the skin, it could impair the natural skin protection. If it is doing so on babies behinds….what about men faces???
is considered a safe surfactant. It is thickening cosmetic creams and is an emulsifiant. It means it helps the oily part in the formula to bind with the water part.
Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) oil, Citrus medica limonum(Lemon) oil, Citrus aurantifolia (Lime) oil, Pegargoneum graveolens (Geranium) oil, Artemisia vulgaris (Armoise) oil, Evernia furfuracea (Tree Moss) oil, Pogostemon cablin (Patchouli) oil, Vetiveria zizanoides (Vetivert) oil, Camellia sinensis (Green tea) leaf extract, Chlorella vulgaris extract, Hydrolyzed algin,
All this ingredients are essential oils or plants extracts….are safe…and great in a cosmetic formula….!!! They have anti bacterial and anti aging effects, essential oils andhydrolized algin are excellent anti oxidant substances…
Tocopherol or vitamin E, is used as a natural preservative.
My point of view:
This brand has a lot of natural ingredients…as well as some chemical ingredients, none of which are carcinogenic, neurotoxic.
Bulldog is crualty free, meaning these formulas are not tested on animals…..for that reason…I love it.
The price is very decent (around 10 Au$ ) considering the formula. It is really important to underline the fact that many very expensive cosmetic brands contain a lot of dangerous and unhealthy ingredients.
So my review comment for that bulldog product….is not bad at all…
I will share a men formula and DIY recipe soon…stay tuned
And, Gentlemen…stay handsome…naturally…

|Jessica Chastain in Zero Dark Thirty
She plays Maya, the resolute CIA officer who spent her career tracking Osama bin Laden and ultimately spearheaded the massive operation that brought down the most hunted man in history. In an email chat, Jessica Chastain tells t2 about the highs and lows of being the “unemotional” Maya in Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow’s controversial Zero Dark Thirty, releasing in India on February 15.
How did you react when Kathryn Bigelow offered you the role of Maya in Zero Dark Thirty?
I wanted to be involved in any movie that Kathryn was making… I read the script and I really wanted to do it. I was really nervous when I was about to meet Kathryn because I am a very soft personality and not quite on a par with Maya. I was just hoping that she doesn’t reject me!
“The greatest manhunt in history”... the search for Osama bin Laden is exclusively told through the eyes of your character. What were the biggest challenges of playing Maya?
Maya is trained to be unemotional and analytically precise. But that doesn’t mean she is unemotional because there are moments when she appears weak. On the other hand, all my life I have been trained to be emotional… it’s been like years of trying to bring the walls down and open up my heart... allowing myself to be sensitive. So, being the kind of person I am and being in such scenes, my natural impulse would be to cry but Maya would never do that.
Is there any point where Jessica and Maya meet?
Like I said, the character is emotionally controlled and to the point whereas in real life I freely express my emotions. So that was a little difficult. But as I went on with the movie, I understood that she is not completely unemotional; it’s just that she is trained not to express. I felt a slight connect that no matter how hard and strong a woman is, she has emotions in her.
What kind of research did you do to understand Maya and her world? It must have been a disappointment not to have met the real Maya because of the undercover nature of her job…
I fell in love with Maya and her story. Sadly, I never met her. Of course I never want anyone to find out who she is because she’s an undercover CIA agent, but I am happy that in some way this film acknowledges her existence.
I asked (screenwriter and producer) Mark Boal a lot of questions about the CIA, about this woman, everything about the scenes….You don’t think there are that many questions but there are thousands that come up! I read The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright and Michael Scheuer’s book Osama bin Laden, which is fantastic. I learned so much about him which I could never have learned from reading articles or following regular news. Then I had to use my imagination to fill in the blanks of what I couldn’t find in the research about this woman. But I wish I could meet her; I want to salute her for the courage and the strength and thank her for everything she did.
The Zero Dark Thirty crew in Chandigarh
The shoot must have been stressful, both physically and psychologically...
Yes, the shoots were not easy. The atmosphere was dark and depressing and I found it difficult to handle. They don’t see women that often. I was like, ‘I am not getting out of this car, how dare these guys?’, but then you think, this woman had to live in Islamabad and all those places when she was doing this job and had to experience the same treatment where she had no control. Kathyrn and I got pretty depressed while we were shooting all that. So, we would send each other videos of dogs getting rescued!
The torture scenes have come in for a fair amount of criticism. How tough was it filming them?
It was not very easy for me to do something that I don’t believe in. I don’t like violence and I don’t like to fight. I personally can’t be that hard. So, it was like learning to do something that my inner self does not allow.
Was it easier being directed by a woman in a film as sensitive as this?
She (Kathryn) was awesome. Once she took me to Maya’s apartment and asked me how I wanted that to be. Yes, if you ask me, Kathryn herself does not believe in that (violence), but according to her, a filmmaker is a filmmaker. I think her approach to the movie was incredible and that’s what inspired me as well.
How was it shooting in Chandigarh?
I didn’t know what it would take on my part until I went there. I went to the Oscars (in 2012) and was in my Alexander McQueen drinking champagne with my grandma... the best day ever. The next day I had a flight to India, a 25-hour flight! The moment I landed, I rushed straight to the sets without any hairdo or make-up. I just wore a robe and we started filming in the market and that is how it worked everyday. We shot on the outskirts of Chandigarh and Rajasthan and I realised how different the culture and dressing were. It was pretty crazy… people were pushing me and I was buying vegetables and the cameras were hidden and I was thinking, ‘I was just at the Oscars!’ But I actually went on a horse-drawn carriage and it was so amazing. I also went to the Taj Mahal.
The film has been mired in controversies with many calling it a love letter to the Barack Obama administration…
A lot of research has gone into the making of the movie. As it is based on one of the world’s greatest manhunts, it is naturally dramatic. So people might feel that it’s dramatised. We were all ready for such comments.
After winning the Golden Globe, you are tipped to take home the Oscar for Best Actress on February 24...
Fingers crossed! I have kept my emotions under control. I am very excited.

text: Eddie Murphy has been selected to host the 84th Annual Academy Awards in February, according to the website HumorMillMag.com, which cited "several inside sources." The report was picked up by the Los Angeles Times , which said on its website Sunday that "no decision has officially been made" but that sources close to the Oscar show had told it that Murphy "has emerged as the top candidate." The reports take on particular credence given the fact that the awards telecast is being co-produced by Brett Ratner, who directed Murphy in the upcoming Tower Heist and is due to team up with him again for a fourth Beverly Hills Cop installment. But Ratner may not have the last word. Billy Crystal, who has drawn some of the highest ratings for Oscar telecasts when he hosted the show, has recently made it known that he's available to do so again. Murphy has never hosted the Oscars.

Colorado Springs and much of Colorado enjoyed record prosperity in 2017. Will that continue or should local businesses and government agencies prepare for change?
Tatiana Bailey, director, UCCS Economic Forum, will share her forecasts for the local, national and international economies 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Ent Center for the Arts, 5225 N Nevada Ave. The presentation is part of the 2018 UCCS Economic Forum, now entering its 22nd year. To register, individuals can go to www.uccseconomicforum.com. Check-in begins at 12:30 p.m. and there will be a networking happy hour afterwards at 4 p.m.
The Forum offers national, regional and local perspectives intended to help individuals, local government and businesses prepare. The Forum is a community outreach effort of the UCCS College of Business, and is supported by businesses, government entities and nonprofits along the Front Range.
“The UCCS Economic Forum is the premier resource for local and state economic information,” Bailey said. “This information is provided for—and supported by—local businesses and is an opportunity to learn about the trends and dynamics occurring nationally, statewide, and in our community.”
Individual cost of attendance is $80. Those interested in obtaining real estate continuing education credits pay $100. At 1:15 p.m., Tim Quinlan, director and senior economist, Wells Fargo Securities, will deliver a keynote address providing a national and international economic outlook.
At 2:25 p.m., Bailey will present the economic conditions and outlook for the state and the Pikes Peak Region.

UCCS College of Business professors Tom Zwirlein and Jeff Ferguson started the forum in 1997, then known as the Southern Colorado Economic Forum. Later, Fred Crowley, a senior instructor in the College of Business, worked with Zwirlein and helped build the forum into a half-day event. Bailey joined the forum in 2014 as Zwirlein and Crowley retired. In 2016, the forum’s name changed to UCCS Economic Forum to reflect a broader scope and its UCCS roots.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved a proposal to allow Washington state to negotiate supplemental rebates involving Medicaid value-based purchasing arrangements with drug manufacturers.
The state plan amendment (SPA) is specifically designed to allow the state to negotiate under a “subscription” model with manufacturers of prescription drugs that treat patients with hepatitis C. Under this model, the state would pay a fixed annual amount to a pharmaceutical manufacturer to purchase an unrestricted supply of hepatitis C drugs.
With CMS’ approval of the SPA, Washington becomes the fourth state cleared to pursue value-based purchasing agreements for supplemental rebates with manufacturers, after Oklahoma, Michigan, and Colorado. Washington is the first state to receive approval for a plan primarily focused on hepatitis C drugs.
Promoting value-based payments is one of the initiatives outlined in the American Patients First Blueprint, which captures the administration’s plan to combat high drug prices

Alex Mashinsky, founder and CEO of Celsius, speaking at CoinDesk’s Consensus conference in September, 2019. CoinDesk
Crypto lender Celsius has significantly reduced its outstanding debts to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Aave since the start of the week, freeing up almost $420 million in collateral.
As previously reported, Celsius began repaying its debt to Aave at the start of the week, when the troubled crypto lender transferred $20 million USDC tokens to the DeFi protocol. Since then, the company has almost entirely paid off its debt to Aave, having transferred $81.6 million USDC tokens today alone, according to data from Etherscan.
The move has allowed Celsius to reclaim 400,000 stETH tokens (worth around $418 million at current prices) that it used as collateral for its loan from Aave. The stETH token is a derivative version of ETH, with each token representing 1 ETH that is locked up on Ethereum’s upcoming proof-of-stake network.
Last week, the company also repaid its $228 million debt to DeFi lending platform Maker, reclaiming around $440 million of collateral in the form of Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC). According to data from crypto tracking platform Zapper, Celsius has reduced its overall debt to $59 million, and currently owes Aave $8.5 million in USDC and $75,000 in REN tokens, and around $50 million DAI tokens to Compound. Once it has repaid its debt to Compound, Celsius will be able to free up another $227 million in tokens used as collateral.
Celsius is one of the crypto lenders that decided to suspend withdrawals when the crypto market turned sour in order to prevent a run on its deposits. While other companies have filed for bankruptcy, it appears that Celsius it trying to avoid that fate. Back in June, “people with knowledge of the situation” said Celsius’ lawyers were advocating for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but executives at the company were against that idea.


GOP NIGHTMARE: Trump Announces He’s Launching Another White House Bid
The moment Republicans dreaded finally came on Tuesday night as Donald Trump announced that he will seek the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
“In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States,” the former president said during an event at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Trump’s announcement comes following the GOP’s underwhelming midterm elections performance – including the losses of several Trump-endorsed election deniers – and the subsequent blame game that has unfolded since Election Day.
The announcement also coincides with a period of heightened legal peril as Justice Department officials investigating him and his associates revisit the prospect of indictments in their Trump-related probes.
Trump is currently being investigated for inciting the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol and his mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after he left office, as well as election interference in the state of Georgia.
While Trump is counting on an easy path to the GOP nomination with his sustained support among the party’s base, his announcement is likely to make things difficult for Republicans in 2024.

While having larger breast is more preferable, sometimes bigger is not always better. Reasons like pregnancy, weight gain, and hormonal changes may alter a woman’s breast shape for worse making them droopy, large and unattractive. Having large disproportionate breast is not just unattractive; a host of health issues like pain, backache, physical impairment and physiological problems accompanies it. Bra straps that support large breast leave shoulder with dark marks and large breasts leave woman susceptible to skin infection due to constant chaffing and sweat accumulation. A simple breast reduction surgery or female breast liposuction can help reduce these troubles.
Female breast liposuction or breast reduction surgery is the process of reducing the size of the breast via liposuction. To achieve this, we at Allure MedSpa use the most advanced technologies, a combination of laser and vaser liposuction. The accumulated fat is targeted through this, with the use of vaser and laser, the fat is melted. The surgeon will then make a small incision to insert a cannula. This cannula will drain out the excess fat that has been melted.
For a woman, only a few things are scarier than harm to her breast. Nevertheless, we assure you that the procedure we use is completely safe and minimally invasive. Liposuction has minimal trauma to breast tissue. AllureMedSpa is home to superior technology and under the guidance and expert skills of Dr Milan Doshi, you will be subjected to the best treatment you can hope for. With proper consultations and counselling that we offer, rest assured, you are in capable hands.
Recovery period will involve soreness and swelling typically associated with liposuction. However, the healing would be rapid and you will be able to return to normalcy quite quickly. The incision made is small and will fade away with time without any scarring. You can resume your work in a few days as long as it does not involve strenuous activities. You will be guided and counselled through the recovery process and adequate aftercare will be provided.
We have an expert surgeon but not an expert photographer.All images you seen below are of our 100% happy clients. While the images may not reveal much, the real life difference is much more than seen in the images.
Dr. Milan Doshi- Founder and Medical Director of Allure Medspa, He is (M.S, M.Ch) Indian Board Certified Plastic Cosmetic Surgeon with International Expertise and qualification (Member of ISAPS- International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon). Read more..

Sorry, can't help. Have never had a vehicle with HID headlights before. It's an arc type and has a ballast. Would think the ballast would be the weak link. "Bulb" should be good for 10,000 hours.
Would hope the bumper to bumper warranty would cover it.Dealer should be reasonably expected to fix this under warranty . . . Wouldn’t you think?
Wow, would think that's the first thing they would have tried.GM recommends change the HID bulb itself.
