EditorsNote: updates and details added from previous stories Arrest warrant issued for Patriots' Hernandez
New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is the subject of an arrest warrant on obstruction of justice charges based on the possible destruction of evidence in connection with the shooting death of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, according to reports by Reuters and ABC News.
As of late Friday evening there were no reports that an arrest was made. However, early Friday Reuters cited a police official who requested anonymity, and later ABC News added the warrant was issued Friday morning and such warrants are returnable in seven days.
If an arrest is made based only on obstruction charges, it would not necessarily preclude filing further charges in this case.
Hernandez has been tied to the shooting death of Odin since the victim's body was found Monday afternoon in an industrial parkway only a quarter mile from Hernandez's North Attleborough, Mass., home.
Police searched Hernandez's home Tuesday and Wednesday, then returned Thursday with a warrant. Law enforcement sources told ABC News that the security system at Hernandez's home was intentionally damaged and his cell phone was shattered. Authorities are concerned with those issues as well as the fact that Hernandez apparently hired people to clean his house Monday.
A surveillance video reportedly shows that Hernandez was with Lloyd in North Attlelborough, Mass., hours before Lloyd was murdered. Those two and a couple of other men were seen leaving a Boston-area bar late Sunday night.
It has been reported that Lloyd died between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday.
Lloyd, 27, was a linebacker for the semi-pro Boston Bandits. There were indications that he was shot and the body dumped in the industrial park. Lloyd had practiced with the team on Saturday. Lloyd was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend, Shayana Jenkins, who is the mother of his child.
Boston's Fox 25 News reported that neighbors heard shots fired between 3 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. Monday. Video surveillance footage showed Hernandez and two other men wearing hooded sweatshirts entering Hernandez's home shortly afterward. Hernandez was seen at Lloyd's home an hour earlier.
On Thursday, Hernandez visited Gillette Stadium. Reports indicate he was probably there to rehab his injured shoulder. According to NFL.com, team security contacted owner Bob Kraft or other executives, and instructions were given to ask Hernandez to leave to avoid a media frenzy at the stadium. He was apparently there about 35 minutes.
Also on Thursday, Hernandez drove to the offices of the legal firm of Ropes and Gray in the Boston area. Michael Fee, a lawyer with the firm, released this statement regarding Hernandez and the investigation: "Out of respect for that process, neither we nor Aaron will have any comment about the substance of that investigation until it has come to a conclusion."
The growing investigation into Hernandez prompted CytoSport, which makes the Muscle Milk line of supplements, to fire Hernandez as an endorser Friday.
"In light of the investigation involving Aaron Hernandez, CytoSport is terminating its endorsement contract with Mr. Hernandez, effective immediately," the company said in a statement.
SI.com uncovered two incidents in which Hernandez was associated with guns and police. SI.com obtained a Providence, R.I., police report that detailed an incident in which police found a gun disposed under a car after a New York Jets fan confronted Hernandez at 2:26 a.m. on May 18, though there was no evidence that the gun belonged to Hernandez.
In 2007, Hernandez was interviewed by Gainesville, Fla., police about a shooting that occurred after Florida's 20-17 loss to Auburn. Hernandez was not considered a suspect. His mother confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel that her son and a friend from Connecticut were in a nightclub near where the shooting took place.
On Tuesday, the story of a lawsuit in Florida emerged in which Alexander S. Bradley alleged that Hernandez pointed a gun at him and it discharged while they were riding in a vehicle, striking Bradley in the face and resulting in the loss of his right eye and other facial injuries that required surgery. According to the suit, the two men had argued outside a strip club.
Bradley is seeking $100,000 in damages. The suit was filed earlier this month and withdrawn four days later, but USA Today reported that there was a paperwork error and it would be re-filed Wednesday.
The Patriots selected Hernandez in the fourth round of the 2010 draft after he won the John Mackey Award as the top tight end in the nation. He was considered to have first-round talent, but due to failing drug tests and a questionable off-season life-style, he slipped down many draft boards and, reportedly, was taken off some.

- Australian Imperial Force
a special army of volunteers for overseas service which began enlistment in 1914; formed again in World War II. Abbrev.: AIF
In 1914, following the outbreak of World War I, the 1st Australian Imperial Force, was raised by voluntary enlistment for service overseas (existing militia forces were unable to serve overseas). In November 1914 the first contingent, consisting of 20 000 men – one infantry division and the 1st Light Horse – set sail for war training camps in Egypt. In February 1915 they were joined by a second contingent which included New Zealand troops and all were grouped together as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, under the command of Major General Birdwood. In April 1915 it was sent into action on the Gallipoli peninsula.
By the end of World War I the 1st AIF comprised five infantry divisions and made up most of two mounted divisions. More than 330 000 men, about one-fifth of whom were recruited from country districts, served in Egypt, Gallipoli, Sinai, Palestine, Britain and on the Western Front in France and Belgium. Almost half of those were wounded and 59 000 died on active service. About 2100 women served with the 1st AIF, mainly as nurses. Australia was the only country with an all-volunteer army in World War I.
In World War II more than 690 000 men and 35 000 women enlisted in the 2nd AIF, which fought as part of British formations in the Mediterranean campaigns and served with Australian militia divisions in the Pacific.

Sol-leks is a supporting character from chapters 2 to 5. He is a dog who is blind in one eye and doesn't like it when people or dogs approach him from his blind side. His name means "Angry One", and like Dave, Sol-leks prefers to be left alone.
Sol-leks joins the team on the night when Buck arrives at Alaska. It appears that Sol-leks likes to be left alone, and so every dog does their best not to bother him, including Spitz. Sol-leks is blind in one eye and does not like to be approached on his blind side. Buck discovers this the hard way when he walks past Sol-leks on the wrong side. When this happens, Sol-Leks attacks Buck and he makes sure to avoid doing this again.
During one of the trips, Sol-leks and other dogs were attacked by wild huskies. But Sol-leks manages to escape, but wild dogs leave him with wounds.
When Buck starts to show leadership skills and other dogs start to rebel against Spitz, Sol-leks and Dave weren't affected by any of that. But Sol-leks, like everyone else, understands that the fight between Buck and Spitz is coming. So when Sol-leks and other dogs (including dogs from police camp) started chasing a rabbit, during one of their stops. But soon Sol-leks and other dogs see how Buck and Spitz start fight, and when Buck falls on the ground, Sol-leks and others start cycle to Buck, like wanting to tear him apart. But soon he sees how, Buck kills Spitz. And when Spitz falls on the ground, Sol-leks and the other dogs eat him.
During next day, Francois who noticed that Spitz is missing what he wanted to do, Sol-leks leads the dog. But Sol-leks was afraid of Buck. And Sol-leks was left in his position, while Buck was made the lead dog. But Sol-leks doesn't care about they think because Dave can't pull sleds anymore.
Later after 30 days of traveling, Sol-leks and other dogs were sold to Hal, Charles, and Mercedes, because A Scotch Half-Breed needed new dogs. New owners threat Sol-leks and other dogs poorly, first of all, they overfeed him, then later underfeed. Also, he was supposed to pull all of their useless things and later Mercedes, who can't walk anymore and want to ride on sleds. And where there only 5 dogs left alive. Sol-leks get to John Thornton camp, where he sees that Buck is rescued by Thornton. But Sol-leks and other 3 dogs were left with inexperience owners, who lead him and other dogs on ice road. When they walk on ice road it breaks, and Sol-leks with other dogs and owners drown in a lake.

Section 420, initially a temporary Code provision currently extended through the year 2013, allows an employer to make a transfer of excess pension assets to a Section 401(h) account without the employer having to pay either regular income tax or the pension reversion excise tax on the amount transferred.
The IRS apparently views this withdrawal as a "pension reversion" to the employer, which is fully income taxable to the employer and is also subject to the 20% pension reversion penalty tax under Code Section 4980.
The ATB held that the distribution of pension reversion
income from a subsidiary to its parent was excludible from state taxable income, because the subsidiary was being liquidated.(30) The ATB also ruled that the parent's share of such income should not be included in the denominator of its state apportionment factor, because it represented "gross receipts from the disposition of securities."
A court of appeal held that a taxpayer's pension reversion
income was not includible in business income under either a transactional or functional test.(10) Under the functional test of Rev.

, and alternative ways to get equity to employees.
Petersen, M., 1992, Pension Reversions
and Worker-Stockholder Wealth Transfers, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 107: 1033-1056.
First, firms can avoid pension reversions
and instead obtain excess assets by reducing future pension contributions.
Bowers, Christea, and Mittelstaedt (1994) and Pontiff, Shleifer, and Weisbach (1990) also attempt to measure wealth transfers from labor to shareholders by examining the relation between pension reversions and acquisition premiums.
Petersen, Mitchell A., 1992, Pension Reversions and Worker-Stockholder Wealth Transfers, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 107: 1033-1056.
These results regarding the relation between pension reversions and wealth transfers are consistent with the evidence concerning wage concessions in general.

Canna River’s new Delta 9 THC gummies have just hit, and they are superb! Containing 20mg of CBD and 10mg of D9 THC derived from USA-grown hemp, these 2:1 ratio edibles could be the elevating touch you need to make every day great. This is the Kiwi Burst option that is perfect for those seeking an exotic or tropical flavor! Each gummy contains 30mg of cannabinoids total for a total of 900mg per bottle at 30 gummies.
If you’re looking for a specific flavor, Canna River’s D9 gummies come in a variety of tastes that could suit anyone’s preference from Lemon Raspberry, Kiwi Burst, to Dragon Berry, Crazy, Apple, and Blue Razz!
Canna River’s CBD and Delta 9 Gummies are:
- Made in the USA and derived from USA-grown hemp
- Made with a 2:1 ratio of 20mg of CBD and 10mg of D9 THC in each gummy, 30 gummies total
- Available in Lemon Raspberry, Kiwi Brust, Dragon Berry, Crazy Apple, or Blue Razz flavors!
These gummies contain Delta 9 THC, the dominant cannabinoid found in cannabis. As these are derived from hemp and contain <.3% D9 THC on a dry weight basis they are farm-bill legal; however, if you have to undergo drug screenings, we do not recommend these gummies as they have the potential to make you test positive.
What Is Delta 9?
Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabinol is a major cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. In its raw form, THC is referred to as THCa and is not psychoactive. The lowercase “a” implies acid. Throughout the curing and drying process of THCa, the acid is eliminated by a decarboxylation process resulting in Delta 9 THC. THC in its decarboxylated form contains psychoactive properties and can result in a mind-altering experience.
Delta 9 THC works through attaching to Endocannabinoid system receptors throughout the brain and the Nervous System. Effects may last for a few hours, but is dependent on frequency of use, dosage, body weight and/or cardiac activity level.
Delta 9 is known to be lipophilic, which means that it can readily attach to fat. As D9 THC attaches to fat cells it has the ability to move from the fat cells into the bloodstream and may remain in the body for longer periods of time. D9 can be detected in the body for up to 20 hours after it has been ingested.
The compound Δ9-THC can be legally derived from hemp. In accordance with the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the 2018 Farm Bill) all derivatives, isomers and/or cannabinoids found in hemp are federally legal provided that all final products contain less than 0.3% D9 THC.
- If you are subject to routine drug screenings, do not consume Δ9-THC.
- Each state has their own separate laws regarding hemp products. Please be aware of the laws within your state/province of residence.
- Psychotropic potency of Delta 9 THC will vary by dose and effects will also vary for users. Therefore, do not operate a vehicle after consuming Δ9 products.
- Consult your doctor before use.
Take 1 gummy at a time and wait 1-2 hours for the effects to kick in. For individuals new to edibles or who don’t have experience using D9 THC, start with 1/4 a piece at a time.
Sugar, corn syrup, purified water, pectin, broad spectrum hemp distillate, full spectrum hemp distillate, citric acid, sodium citrate, lecithin, natural and artificial flavor, artificial color

With a 4% forecast CAGR from 2017 to 2022, the Middle East and Africa is predicted to outperform world sales, which are expected to see a 2% CAGR. Annual per capita sales in the region remain low, at US$31, corresponding to less than half of the world’s average.
Product affordability and an underdeveloped cold chain infrastructure in many markets remain key barriers to increased adoption of dairy products in many markets. However, markets with developed modern grocery channels, notably Saudi Arabia and the UAE, benefit from a wider availability of perishable dairy products. Both countries have higher per capita sales than the average for the Middle East and Africa for cheese.
Among the largest markets, Iran has seen a stagnation of sales, while Algeria and Saudi Arabia recorded rapid growth. In Algeria, the affordability of cheese was improved by small portions allowing cheese to be sold individually, as well as by products suitable for non-chilled storage enabling to lower unit prices and target low-income consumers.
Yoghurt and sour milk products has seen a strong performance across most key markets, notably Algeria and Egypt, although it has seen a decline in Iran. In Egypt, a shift from unpackaged to packaged yoghurt helped fuel growth, while drinking yoghurts also saw a rise in popularity.

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA) today announced its financial results for the third quarter, ended September 27, 2008. The company reported net sales of $107.2 million and earnings per share of $0.50.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2008 increased by 0.9% to $107.2 million, compared with $106.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year. In contrast to prior quarters when sales benefited from changes in foreign currencies, net sales in the third quarter were reduced by $1.9 million, on a sequential quarterly basis, due to a stronger U.S. dollar. The total number of active Associates in the third quarter of 2008 increased by 2.2% to 184,000, compared with 180,000 in the third quarter of 2007. On a sequential quarterly basis, active Associates increased by 8.9% from 169,000.
"We were pleased to see a significant increase in the number of active Associates from the second quarter," said Dave Wentz, chief executive officer of USANA Health Sciences. "During the third quarter, at our international convention, we introduced enhancements to our already rewarding Associate Compensation Plan. The enhancements provide our independent Associates with two additional ways to earn income through their USANA home-based business."
Earnings per share from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2008 were $0.50, compared with $0.70 in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in earnings per share was primarily due to higher overall operating expenses, including increased Associate incentives, wage-related expenses, equity-based compensation, increased depreciation expense due to significant investments in facilities that were completed in 2008, and legal fees associated with various law suits which have largely been resolved. Additionally, earnings per share in the third quarter were reduced by approximately $0.04 due to costs related to the company's response to a tender offer, which are not expected to recur in future periods.
"Over the last two years, we have made significant investments in our business to address rapid growth and to prepare USANA for anticipated future growth," said Jeff Yates, chief financial officer of USANA Health Sciences. "With time, we are confident we will gain significant leverage from these investments."
For the nine months ended September 27, 2008, net sales increased by 1.1% to $318.0 million, compared with $314.4 in the first nine months of 2007. Earnings per share were $1.58 in the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of 21.0%, compared with $2.00 in the same period of 2007.
North America Region
During the third quarter of 2008, net sales in North America decreased by 3.0% to $64.6 million, compared with the third quarter of the prior year. Excluding changes in foreign currency, net sales decreased by 3.8%. This decrease was mainly due to lower-than-expected sales in the U.S., where the number of active Associates declined by 3.2% on a year-over-year basis. On a sequential quarterly basis, however, active Associates increased by 7.0% in the U.S. and by 7.3% in North America.
Asia Pacific Regions
Net sales in the Asia Pacific regions, during the third quarter of 2008, increased by 7.6% to $42.6 million, compared with the third quarter of 2007. Excluding changes in foreign currency, net sales increased by 4.7% in these regions during this quarter. This growth was primarily attributable to increases of 39.1% in Hong Kong and 25.2% in Malaysia. These increases were partially offset by a 6.9% decline in Australia/New Zealand and a 7.0% decline in Singapore. Importantly, the number of active Associates in these regions increased by 5.2% on a year-over-year basis and by 11% on a sequential quarterly basis.
The company expects net sales for the full-year 2008 to be between $432 million and $438 million and earnings per share to be between $2.22 and $2.28. Accordingly, we expect the fourth quarter of 2008 to reflect sales between $114 million and $120 million, and earnings per share to be between $0.64 and $0.70. This earnings per share estimate is based on an effective tax rate of 35.0%.

: The city corporation has detected 450 buildings constructed in violation of building norms as per the statistics presented in the assembly.
As many as 42 unauthorized constructions
were demolished by city corporation since 2015 and owners of 52 unauthorized constructions obtained stay order against demolition.
The town planning committee has recently asked for separate data on unauthorized constructions, files received for regularization, files pending in the court and other types of violations. Palayam Rajan
, chairman, town planning committee, said that a meeting was recently convened and it has been decided to issue notices for demolition of all unauthorized constructions without any stay orders.
He said that squads were constituted to look at violations pertaining to permit, parking and CRZ
. Separate data are being compiled and action will be taken accordingly. The officials had earlier finalized a list of 17 buildings which had to be demolished in the first phase in Vizhinjam-Kovalam area.
A total of 169 buildings were identified as unauthorized in Vizhinjam-Kovalam area.
The demolition drive was finalized as per the decision of a meeting convened by LSG department in which it was decided to assess the action taken on report submitted by vigilance pertaining to constructions in violation of coastal regulation zone norms in Kovalam-Vizhinjam area. However, corporation checked the move after there were complaints about the civic body ruining the tourism industry.
In 2016, assembly data had revealed information on both private and government buildings which had been built either in violation of municipality building rules or without concurrence of art and heritage commission within 100 metres of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple.
According to the reply furnished by then LSG minister K T Jaleel, the city corporation had issued provisional order (PO) to these buildings. However, the list included some of the constructions which had been built nearly two decades ago.
The reply enlisted violations and encroachment by a hotel group, unauthorized constructions near Pathra Kulam, encroachments by shopping complex, a hotel, heritage zone violations by treasury building, unauthorized construction of a high-rise building by directorate of technical education, high-rise construction of a jewellery, constructions above a textile shop and unauthorized constructions along the stretch from Pazhavangadi to Attakulangara.
Bunks on the left side of East Fort main gate and a mobile tower atop Soubhagya building were also listed as constructions for which provisional order had been issued.
In 2018, corporation had taken action against unauthorized constructions in Vizhinjam, Thiruvallom, Nemom, Vattiyoorkavu and Fort. Highest number of unauthorized constructions were detected in Vizhinjam zonal; 149.
Rajan said that amount would be allocated to engineering wing to undertake demolition procedure and then levy the charge from violators. The response to regularization drive of LSGD has been minimal within corporation limits, officials said.

Our Duty of Care, a group of healthcare professionals who are part of the wider “Care Not Killing” alliance – a long established network of mostly anti-choice and religious organisations initiated to oppose assisted dying, has this week published an open letter addressed to the Health Secretary, Humza Yousaf MSP, re-iterating their opposition to the introduction of assisted dying legislation in Scotland. Their opposition stems from the idea that everyone has the right to life under Article 1 of The Human Rights Act 1998. What they fail to mention in their letter however, is our fundamental right to die at a time we choose. This a most basic human right.
Many medical organisations hold a neutral position on assisted dying; such as the Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of Nursing, Royal Society of Psychiatrists, Royal Pharmaceutical Society and others. The British Medical Association’s first ever survey of its members’ views on assisted dying in 2020 found that doctors are in support of a change in the law.
The authors of this letter argue that enhancing patient choice, as the Assisted Dying Bill would seek to do, would in fact diminish the choices of the most vulnerable by detrimentally affecting palliative care. FATE fundamentally disagrees. The Bill, which is being brought to the Scottish Parliament by Liam McArthur MSP, will have strong safeguards in place; it will only apply to terminally ill, mentally competent adults. With the detail of the proposed Bill not yet drafted, it is difficult to understand how opposition organisations such as Our Duty of Care can defend their position.
The next phase of this proposed Bill is a comprehensive consultation, which will seek views from all corners of society. FATE will be engaging fully with the medical profession and others on any concerns that they may have regarding the proposed Bill and we hope that common sense will ultimately prevail. The Bill seeks to work alongside excellent palliative care and to give dying people what they need to in order to experience a good death – high quality palliative care and more choice should they reach the limits of that care. Over 400 million people worldwide now have access to assisted dying, it is time for Scots to have this choice.

Sustainable futures: REI
Gaining the support of 475 organisations from all sectors and taking a stand on a day when no other brand will, REI has put its commitment to people and the environment at the heart of its business. How does its #OptOutside campaign support this? Brittany Golob reports
In 2015, American outdoor retail co-op REI chose to do something other major retailers wouldn’t even dream of. It chose to close its doors and e-commerce site for one day. Not just any day, but the biggest shopping day of the year – Black Friday. Now, after two successful years of the #OptOutside campaign, REI has become a poster-child for commitment to its stewardship ideals, in the face of overwhelming pressure among its peers to convert sales.
For REI, success is measured not just in numbers, but in the ongoing stewardship role the brand plays for its people, the environment and the outdoor lifestyle. Its sustainability and stewardship programmes reflect this ethos, but its business model is also built upon that foundation.
The #OptOutside campaign was not designed as a communications campaign. It wasn’t intended to achieve clicks and likes and shares and media coverage. The only metric placed on its success, said VP of brand stewardship & impact Alex Thompson at the June 2016 Sustainable Brands Summit in San Diego, was take up by employees. “We did know that it would ruffle feathers and we did know that it would make a dent, and we wanted it to make a dent, but we did not anticipate the level of participation or the sustained dialogue,” he said.
REI has always focused on its employees and its members. The co-op model allows it the flexibility to look beyond profit and take a long term approach to business development, as it doesn’t have shareholders to answer to. But, as a co-op it must ensure it treats its people right. #OptOutside was one of many ways REI has achieved that. By giving employees the day off – for some the first Black Friday they’d had off in decades – to be outside or with friends and family, the company was showing a level of respect for its partners.
Other programmes, like its commitment to fair labour standards throughout its supply chain, two days of paid leave to spend outside and a commitment to women in leadership, among other things, have led to its inclusion on Fortune’s ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ for the 19th consecutive, and 20th overall, year. In 2014, REI rebranded to include the word ‘co-op’ in its brand name and on its logos, emphasising its commitment to its members.
One of REI’s key stewardship objectives has been to work in partnership wherever possible. For that reason, #OptOutside was not kept a closely-guarded brand asset. It was designed to be shared. Millions of people took part, including REI’s 12,000 or so employees. But it also encouraged other companies to follow suit, including a number of outdoor brands. In its first year, 170 corporate or governmental partners joined REI, a number that rose to 475 in 2016. It also encouraged 22 states to waive entry fees to their parks on Black Friday. This extends to the company’s committment to sustainable manufacturing and transparency throughout its supply chain. To that effect, it has a partnership in place with Canada’s Mountain Equipment Co-op to jointly uphold standards in their overlapping supply chains.
Vik Sahney, divisional vice president of sustainability at REI, says, “Partnerships are essential. While in the past nearly 80 years, we’ve grown from 23 members to 16 million members, REI is still a relatively small organisation compared to larger retail stores. So when we look at how we can have real impact in the world, it is clearly about going beyond our four walls. Reducing our own impact to zero wouldn’t be meaningful enough. It also would ignore some of our greatest assets such as our co-op structure, our unique position in the value chain with brands and manufacturers, and with our co-op members."
REI has partnered with the US National Parks Service to increase awareness and access to the country’s national parks. In a year when national monuments are being targeted by President Donald Trump, partnerships between business and public sector organisations, like this one, may become increasingly valuable to protecting the US’ environmental treasures. With former first ladies Michelle Obama and Laura Bush as honourary co-chairs and a public education and awareness campaign, Find Your Park, REI helped create a successful partnership with brands like Disney, Budweiser and American Express.
That commitment to the environment doesn’t just stop at partnerships, though. It is part of the heart of the REI brand. The outdoor retailer is not only founded by, but employs and serves people who love nature. But, as a business, sustainable practices also have a business value. That was at the heart of #OptOutside. “It was drawing on nearly 70 years of heritage,” Thompson said. “This was a business decision first and foremost. It was a business decision to dig deep into the values of the co-op and to ask ourselves, ‘What can we do to build the character of this organisation and to share what we stand for and inspire others?’”
Sahney adds, “The values of our founders set us on that course which we track today through continuously asking a few simple questions. First, ‘What is in the best interests of the co-op membership?’ second, ‘What actions would make our members most proud?’ and third, ‘How does this enable an outdoor life?’.”
And it has paid off. Despite not having any business objectives and despite closing the doors to potentially millions of dollars in sales on Black Friday, REI has seen a 31% increase in visitors to its site on Black Friday. Last year, it recorded a 5.5% increase in annual revenue as well.
But, REI also reinvests almost three-quarters of its profits into the outdoor community, to reinforce its commitment to its people, its communities and the natural world. The initiatives and projects it has in place now are all designed to serve the business, and its communities, better in the long term. Sahney says, “A number of recent studies have shown that businesses that focus on the long term deliver better financial results, are better places to work, and are more sustainable.”
REI’s projects and programmes all individually set a high standard for environmental and social stewardship. However, without its long term focus, that’s all they would do. REI’s commitments all stem back to its main value – a life lived outdoors. That is reflected by #OptOutside and the bold statement it makes about the responsibilities of a modern business. As Thompson said, “We think beyond profit. I think that’s profound because the people who built REI created the organisation not imagining what it would become, but they made profound decisions about how you would measure impact over the long range.”
Staying true to that founding ethos has allowed it to build a successful business that reaches 36 states. But it has also allowed REI to blaze a trail – not only through the great outdoors – but in a new approach to sustainability and stewardship.

Last year, my 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. Now, I know that every mother says this, but my daughter is truly as perfect as a human being could be. She is sweet, kind, generous, caring and compassionate. She had always wanted to work at NASA when she grew up so that she could save the environment, mankind and the world.
But after a year of chemotherapy and radiation, she has suffered some very dangerous and rare side effects. She has not let the drugs cripple her spirit, but every organ in her body has been weakened. She has lost much of her innocence and faith in the goodness of the world. She is not quite so able to help others now.
So here's my question: Why would G-d hit such a perfect child? Wouldn't He want her to save the world? Why must she suffer, and never be able to fulfil her dream to help humanity?
My heart reaches out to you in what must be a most painful and heart-wrenching time. There are no words that can take away the pain and no explanations that can satisfy a heart grieving for the life that could have been for your daughter.
I join you in protesting your daughter's undeserved suffering, together with the suffering of all innocent people. I do not believe that G-d wants us to defend the suffering of innocents. He may have His reasons, but that is His business. Our business is to oppose and relieve the suffering of innocent people wherever we can.
G-d is ultimately responsible for allowing undeserved pain to exist. But we must also recognise that G-d is the source of life itself, and life is also undeserved. Nobody earned the right to live, and nobody gained life on their own. G-d is responsible for suffering, but He is also responsible for life in the first place.
So just as we can ask, "What did this girl do to deserve so much suffering?", we can also ask, "What did we do to deserve such a beautiful soul as this girl?" The very fact that such a shining soul came down to this world is a gift. For whatever reason, this soul had to go through the darkest of journeys, and yet her soul is the brightest of souls. Just as we are pained by her suffering, we must also be thankful for her goodness. G-d caused that too.
Every life has to be seen as a whole, a package. The good and the bad, the painful and the beautiful, these things cannot be separated. They are all intrinsic to the soul's identity, and to its journey in this lifetime. You can't have the talents without the challenges, and you can't have the beauty without the pain. Your daughter's fine qualities and her terrible suffering - this is her soul.
Why is this so? Why can't it be different? Only G-d knows. And the truth is, we don't want to know the answer to that. We don't want an explanation for pain, we just want an end to it. In the meantime, all we can do is be thankful for life. And be thankful for the gift that we have been given, the soul of your daughter, who has and will continue to bring goodness and light to the world.
At NASA they will tell you how small and insignificant our planet earth is in the whole scheme of the universe. But there are some things that they will never discover anywhere else in the universe: the unconditional love of a mother for her child, the indomitable spirit of the human being to stand up to adversity, and the simple yet infinite power that humans have to give, to care, to love and to do good for each other.
NASA can achieve a lot for our planet. But a little girl who faces adversity with dignity, and counters pain with goodness, and fights hopelessness with hope, can achieve infinitely more.
I wish you, your daughter and all your loved ones strength and courage to face the challenges ahead, and we pray for her complete recovery.

Most often French people eat raw grated celeriac in mayonnaise. It’s tasteful but mayonnaise is high caloric and it’s not helpful to lose weight!
We have been too greedy since last Christmas at home and each year before spring, it’s always the same statement of fact:
All of us have been gaining weight at home and the most annoying is my father’s high cholesterol level.
Eating raw celeriac in mayonnaise wouldn’t be reasonable at the moment!
I’ve bought a celeriac a few weeks ago and I’ve decided to cook it in a healthy and low caloric way:
Sauteed celery root.
The most difficult is to cut celeriac into dices.
Celeriac is hard to cut and I have to use all of my strength to succeed in this. It’s true I’m only 1m47 tall and I’ve lost much strength since I’ve sold my bakery!
Well, once cut into dices, I bring celeriac to a boil in water with lemon juice, I drain it and I saute it with a bit olive oil. You can flavor it with garlic and parsley but I particularly enjoy to flavor sautéed celeriac simply with lemon juice.
Lemon sauteed celery root is the perfect side dish to serve with pork, chicken, veal or fish.
If we were not on slimming diet, I would serve it with my home made creamy lemon sauce, the same sauce I use when I cook the …
But we go on slimming diet and have to avoid eating lemon flavored creamy sauce!
So today, I’ll simply serve sautéed celery root with broiled chicken fillet marinated in lemon…
Ingredients 4 servings
- 1 Celery root
- 2 Lemons
- 1 Table spoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- As I previously wrote, the hardest is to cut it! First, remove end and cut celery root in 2.
- Slice roughly each half and peel each slice.
- Cut each slice into 2 cm cubes.
- Bring a large pan water to a boil. Squeeze a lemon and pour juice into the pan. Add celery dices and cook for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, squeeze another lemon and set juice aside.
- Drain celery.
- Pour 1 table spoon olive oil into a skillet, preheat and add celery dices. Cook over hight heat until lightly browned (about 15 minutes), stirring regularly.
- Last, pour lemon juice to deglaze. Check seasoning and add salt and pepper as taste.
- Serve warm.

Step dad is not a party to your family law
matters. You have no current authority to have a court order a psychological evaluation of the stepfather. You would have to sue stepdad on behalf of your child for some sort of tortious conduct, such as intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED
). Or, you could request a domestic violence
protective order (DVPO) on your child's behalf. But, your child would have to be prepared to testify to stepdad's abusive conduct to her, which causes her a fear of (or actual) emotional or physical abuse
The above should seem familiar to you, because I told you in one of the very first answers provided to you, that what this is all about, and that the only real means of getting any relief is for your child to pick up the phone and call child protective services,
or testify to abuse in a DVPO hearing.
You then gave me all manner of excuses why your child would never do this, and I explained that until she decides that she will take some step to protect herself, the court will have no evidence with which to deal with the problems, and you will continue to lose ground in your quest for justice.
In short, we have now come full circle. Nothing at all has changed, except that you have a bigger child support arrears
, and you have received some gift monies from friends and/or relatives.
I know that you want your share of justice in this matter, but the botXXXXX XXXXXne remains the same: it's not really up to you. Your daughter must decide that she needs protection from her stepfather -- because as long as she does and says nothing, and as long as there is no physical evidence of abuse, there is no credible evidence suggesting that the status quo parenting arrangements ought to be changed.
You're not going to get a psych eval order against the stepfather. You don't have any credible evidence that he has done anything wrong, and the putative plaintiff, your daughter, apparently remains unwilling to testify to the contrary. Until she is, nothing will change, except for the amount of your support arrears.
Hope this helps.

Trade blocs should promote co-operation, not competition
American leadership of a fledgling trans-Pacific free-trade zone that excludes China has prompted Beijing to join negotiations to create a 16-nation east Asian free-trade bloc that does not include the US. They both include members of the Association of Southeast Asian nations (Asean), peripheral nations like Australia, and Japan, whose full commitment is problematic because of the power of its farm lobby.
Having joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which already included Singapore, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand, the US seized on it as its main regional trade initiative and linked it to non-tariff issues such as government procurement, the operations of state-owned enterprises, intellectual property rights and complementary regulations - all points of friction with China. Without ruling China out, these conditions made it unlikely Beijing would join.
In a coded rebuff at last year's Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit, President Hu Jintao said nations should work to establish a balanced, inclusive and win-win multilateral trading regime. Hence the move to create the new trade bloc - the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, consisting of the 10 members of Asean, plus China, India and South Korea as well as Japan, Australia and Zealand.
The American vision includes the other North American nations, Canada and Mexico. It is only natural, after a decade of preoccupation with terrorism, the Middle East and then the financial crisis, that the US wants to tap into regional markets as part of its pivot back towards Asia. But the exclusion of China does not take account of its legitimate interest in military and trade arrangements in the Pacific. It is also regionally divisive. It is only natural that China should use a multilateral platform to oppose it. Regrettably, it will result in overlapping involving the friends of both countries.
The US and China should focus on speeding up market reforms that reflect the principles of free-trade groups and reduce obstacles to co-operation.
