Today, the US Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on whether or not to advance Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court for a Senate confirmation vote.
About a month after his nomination, Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor in California, sent a letter to the ranking Committee Democrat Dianne Feinstein alleging that Mr Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while they were in high school. After four days of rigorous confirmation testimony, as required by the US Constitution, Senator Feinstein proceeded to make public the contents of Ms Ford’s letter.
Kavanaugh’s nomination is now in jeopardy, with the nation taking largely partisan stances on whether or not he is guilty of the allegations before him.
As at least three deciding Republican senators have expressed uncertainty over how they will vote, there is a chance Kavanaugh will not be confirmed. If he is rejected, it would be a significant victory for Democrats, who are in minority. The nation’s political right will certainly protest over what they perceive as a disregard of the “presumption of innocence” standard. If confirmed, however, women’s rights such as abortion may be seriously under threat.

Montblanc Reveals Newest Timepiece Collection
Famous German manufacturer of writing instruments, watches, jewelry, and leather goods Montblanc celebrates 157 years of Minerva’s heritage by launching the 1858 collection. Acquired by Montblanc in 2006, Minerva Manufacture is known for producing precise chronographs once used in the battlefields of World War I and II, and was founded in 1858. Inspired by the limited 1930s Minerva design of 100 pieces, the new Montblanc 1858 collection features four handcrafted new watches: a single-button chronograph in pink gold and three versions of a stainless-steel watch with subsidiary seconds. While the manually-wound, vintage-inspired timepieces bring the nostalgic feeling of a forgotten era, they manage to remain perfectly contemporary.


To the Editor:
The State Legislature's failure to enact changes in the New York City school system (news article, July 21), thereby continuing to permit its destruction, was an affront to integrity. School board corruption, nepotism, cronyism and political patronage -- do our legislators remember we once had a merit system to guard against such practices?
The inference from Albany is that there isn't a large enough lobby for school reform. There are more than 1.1 million children in the system, exclusive of parents, teachers and other concerned people. To patronize us with political gibberish is abusive and unprincipled.

Just wanted to share some feedback about my 1st week with OTG…
As soon as I found out what server OTG were on I made a brand new Belf pally and started lvling. I whispered the only name who was online at the time (shoutout to Stoni, what a champ!!) and started firing off questions about getting a guild invite, what days/time were raids and I’m sure this guy was thinking “who is this??”. But to his credit he was polite, knowledgeable about guild protocol and above all…supportive.
Application was reviewed and pending approval, still lvling my pally and doing all the things we do when we roll a fresh toon on a brand new server. Continued chatting with my dude Stoni.
Application approved, I hurriedly contacted the recruiting officer and got into the guild Discord server and started spamming chat with my typical enthusiastic nonsense… got my guild invite and started spamming guild chat… got a very enthusiastic welcome from all the guys/girls, continued lvling and making a nuisance of myself
Continued lvling, got a dungeon run from one of the guildies who had nothing better to do for an hour. Starting to feel at home now, the guild is super chill and really helpful…one of the guildies made a BiS lvling weapon enchant for me that made everything so much easier.
Continued lvling, at this point I’m debating bringing over my boosted 70 pally and lvl 73 DK (love playing DK, they’re the main reason I started playing Wrath Classic because I never got a chance to play when Wrath was live). By this time I’ve met/chatted with most of the guild and I’m really happy to be in a guild with these people.
Day 6 (server maintenance)
I decide to server transfer my pally and DK from a high population PVP server on the Oceanic cluster (5-10ms ping) to a PVE server on US East cluster (200-250ms ping) with a 18hr time difference. By the time i complete the server transfers the servers are offline for a 8hr maintenance.
Got up early to run dungeons with the guild (early for me is 9am due the time difference) and join voice chat in Discord. I introduce myself and instantly feel at home, chatting and bants while I set up my UI since the new ICC patch has hit the servers and reset everything. Happy my DK made it over. We start a dungeon for which I have a few quests and by the end of the run I’m working well with my homeboy Stoni the tank, getting to know the gang a bit better and I genuinely feel at home.
I cant believe it took me almost 10 years of playing WoW to finally stumble across a group of like-minded players who enjoy the game at my pace, are genuinely welcoming and helpful and speak my language (not a dig at other cultures just an observation about gamer chat ). All the things I wanted with the guilds I joined and ran were here the whole time…
Thank you OTG for reawakening the long-dormant joy of playing mmos with other people.
Big shout out to Old Punk for all the help! You rock my dude <3

20th November 2016 – January 2017
The list of internships for 2017 will be online as of 20th November 2016 on this website here. Precise deadlines and conditions of application differ by national member organisations, please visit your home country website for more details.
January – February 2017
Participants are being selected.
April – June 2016
The training cycle begins for the participants with two Multipliers Training Seminars, where they get to know other GLENnies and, with the support of facilitating teams, enter the world of GLEN. They kick off their GLEN learning process by getting to know GLEN, Global Education & Global Learning, and understanding their own involvement in global interdependencies. They get the chance to learn and reflect on global power structures and critical issues that shape our understanding of the world and our positionality within it.
There are two seminar groups, (1) GLEN Anglo and (2) GLEN GéCo.
Both have English as a working language. For GLEN GéCo, additional components will be included in French.
- April 24-29, 2017 in Werftpfuhl, Germany
- June 12-17, 2017 in Czech Republic
- April 10-15, 2017 in St-Dié, France
- June 30 – July 5, 2017 in Erbach, Germany
Internship in the Global South
July – October 2017
The internships at the host partners African, Asian, South-East European and Latin American countries usually take place usually between July and October. Internships cover a period of three months.
Global Education Practice phase in Europe
November 2017 – March 2018
Participants engage in Global Education/Global Learning in their own local contexts or beyond by developing a global education activity (GEA). The concrete requirements differ by Member organisation, therefore, your national co-ordinators will provide you with more details in this regard.
RENew stands for “Seminar for Review, Engagement and Networking“. This is the space for all GLEN participants of the cycle to meet again after their internships. During the four days of RENew, they can reflect on the GLEN cycle, their internships as well as their future engagement in Global Education / Global Learning. Together, they can develop plans and initiatives, exchange with former participants, network with people and institutions in the field of Global Education.
The next RENew Seminar will take place in March 2018 (exact dates and location to be communicated).
After the RENew
GLEN participants are part of the multipliers’ universe within GLEN. As GLEN Alumni, they are “Global Education Multipliers”, who work towards global change on local, national, regional and global levels as a part of a large network. Many multipliers initiate action as GLEN Alumni – in small or large groups, alone or as part of the network – to facilitate change and act as global actors in their everyday life.

“American entrepreneurs invest time, money, and talent in the next great works of music, film, art, literature, and technology. These creators expect and deserve to be compensated for their work and skill, both at home and overseas. To assure the continued creation and distribution of music, movies, software, and books, we must ensure that our artists, creators, and producers are paid for their work."
– Rep. Adam Schiff
California’s 30th Congressional District is home to Hollywood, the entertainment capital of the world – and representing this iconic industry and those who work in it is a critical element of Rep. Adam Schiff’s work in Congress. Every individual who works in the entertainment sector – from filmmakers to stagehands to writers to performers – deserves to have their intellectual property protected and their interests represented in Washington. Adam is proud to be their voice in Congress, fighting to ensure that this vital industry continues to thrive in the digital age.
Supporting Anti-Piracy and Intellectual Property Protection
The American music, film, software, gaming, and book and journal publishing industries are among America’s top exporters, and millions of jobs depend on their continued international leadership. Americans must not be forced to subsidize the content that others steal. Likewise, American businesses should not be forced to compete with foreign companies that cut production costs by using unlicensed software or pirated scientific articles.
Adam founded the International Creativity and Theft Prevention Caucus, a bipartisan bicameral caucus whose goal was to increase awareness and understanding of the creative industries and to advocate for policies, at home and abroad, that prevent the theft of copyrighted materials.
Standing Up for Entertainment Workers
Throughout the pandemic, Adam fought to ensure that all workers – even those with nontraditional employment like contractors, freelancers, and gig economy workers – could access the expanded unemployment assistance provided under the COVID relief bills. Many of those individuals and families who work in the entertainment industry were excluded from initially receiving assistance because they earned a living through a mix of self-employment and traditional jobs. Adam introduced the Mixed Earner Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Act, which was eventually included in the final COVID relief bill.
Adam has also led efforts in Congress to stand up for Hollywood unionized craft workers advocating for improved wages and working conditions on television sets. In 2021, Adam and Senator Alex Padilla urged the entertainment studios to ensure that all workers had sustainable benefits, increased living wages, and reasonable rest periods. After Adam’s advocacy, the workers reached a more equitable long-term contract.
Working with Private Industry to Crack Down on Pirate Sites
Adam, as the co-chair of the International Creativity and Theft Prevention Caucus, has called on the major players in the advertising space to encourage them to study the problem, adopt best practices, and operationalize their commitment to keep advertising off sites dedicated to theft. Adam continuously urges these major players to provide updates detailing the concrete steps currently underway to evaluate “digital ad assurance” technologies.
Adam believes that the private sector plays an important role in reducing copyright infringement and has worked diligently with good actors in the online payment and advertising spaces to cut off funds to sites that profit by stealing the Intellectual Property of American creators.
Extending and Expanding the Film Tax Credit
Adam has led efforts in Congress to extend California’s film tax credit, including in 2014 when he led an effort with 28 members of the California Democratic Delegation urging the leaders of the California State Senate and Assembly to reauthorize and enhance the tax credit. A June 2013 study by the California Film Commission found that feature film production in the state was far down from previous highs due to runaway production. The Office of the Legislative Analyst recently found that only 52 percent of film and television jobs are in California, down from 65 percent just a decade ago. After advocacy by Adam and other Members of Congress, the State Legislature took up and passed an extension and expansion of the state’s film tax credit in 2014. Adam continues to fight to keep industry jobs in California.

I look forward to participating in ‘Re- & De-‘, a research and residency project with colleagues and practitioners Dr Kyung Hwa Shon from the Royal College of Art, London and Yutaka Inagawa and Tamaki Ono from Onomichi City University, Japan. The project is supported by The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation and will begin in Japan from 16 July to 13 August 2022.
It was fantastic to be invited by Mindy Lee, curator of Blyth Arts, to hold an artists’ lead event with co-exhibitor Isabel Young as part of Fictions held at the Blyth Gallery Imperial College London between 08/06/22 – 07/07/22.
This is the second iteration of Fictions a two person exhibition project begun in 2020. The exhibition showcases new work exhibited for the first time.
This has been an exciting opportunity for Isabel Young and I to work with the curator Mindy Lee to expand notions and approaches to observed, recorded and imagined personal narratives in the space at the Blyth Gallery.
Fictions – Blyth Gallery Imperial College.
The show also includes the collaborative project RE – a unique collaborative artists book lead by Richard Nash and Gary Clough, including contributions from Isabel Young, Adam Knight, Susannah Haslam, Kyung Hwa Shon, Anna Beel, Alkesh Parmer and Linnet Hannan.
RE: Artists Book – 2022
I am very excited to be exhibiting again with artist and RCA colleague Isabel Young in the second iteration of Fictions at Blyth Gallery, Imperial College London, opening in June 2022.
Identification is an ongoing body of work which focuses on the nature of ID object classification tables and object ID silhouettes.
I am currently working on a series of nine 6 x 6-inch canvasses of constructed tables of embroidered objects. These will be exhibited alongside the second body of work developed as part of Fictions, a two-person exhibition with the artist Isabel Young at the Blyth Art Gallery at Imperial College London, in June 2022.
RE: word-forming element meaning “back, back from, back to the original place;” also “again, anew, once more,” also conveying the notion of “undoing” or “backward,” …
I am delighted to be invited by drawingisfree_ org, to join 14 other practitioners as part of the Drawing Projects UK PechaKucha style Symposium discussing the impact of lockdown on practice and drawing.
The sketchbook and its inherent mobility are and remain to be an essential and consistent aspect of my practice and working life. The sketchbooks created in lockdown became a surprisingly expansive format to engage with and outline journeys without moving.
There have been four main series of shaped narratives developed over the last four years – Blue and White Shaped Narratives, Coloured Shaped Narratives, Three-Legged Narratives and Small Object Narratives. The works explore and integrate notions around the sense of shapes within shapes, objects within objects and the relationships and hierarchies between the constituent parts.
It was a great pleasure to be invited to visit the Bond and Coyne studios in South London in November to a lead a drawing workshop. Bond and Coyne led a visibility campaign and film for the RCA’s Graduate Diploma in Art and Design programme, and the workshop was a direct result of this relationship. It was a great opportunity to expand and investigate further approaches to the teaching and the language of drawing working with art and design professionals in a staff development context.

'Plebgate' libel ruling: Reaction outside High Court
Reaction following a High Court ruling on the 'Plebgate' libel actions following an alleged altercation between former Government chief whip Andrew Mitchell and PC Toby Rowland in Downing Street in September 2012.
Mr Mitchell had sued News Group Newspapers over claims he called PC Rowland a "pleb" during an altercation at Downing Street in September 2012.
PC Rowland had in turn sued Mr Mitchell maintaining that the MP's statements made from December 2012 falsely suggested that he had fabricated his allegations.

If you haven't been tapped into Philadelphia rapper Lil Muk yet, it's time to get hip to the 19-year-old making noise locally and nationally. The young rapper has had a few successful single campaigns but his fans have been begging for a full-length project, which he happily delivered on Thursday. His debut project About Time is out now and it's sure to get a lot of attention because of the second track, "Living Life", which features Lil Baby.
Back in June, Lil Baby announced that he's expecting six figures for a feature, so it's safe to assume that Lil Muk cashed out for his latest record with the superstar. "Living Life" is a melodic song that also features YXNG K.A., showcasing Muk's storytelling ability and cementing him as one of the upcoming faces of Philly.
Listen to the new song below and let us know if you've got Lil Muk on your radar.

Solitary Watch - Locked Up and Locked Down: Segregation of Inmates with Mental Illness, released by Disability Rights Washington, details the widespread practice of housing men, women, and children with mental illness in solitary confinement. The report shows that prisons and jails routinely subject people with mental illness to conditions that dramatically exacerbate their condition, often to the point of suicide.
Disabled Behind Bars notes, for example, that deaf individuals are “among those most likely to be held in solitary”, often in place of treatment or necessary accommodations. It also notes the tragic story of Kalief Browder, a teenager who was arrested for allegedly stealing a backpack and was subject to two years in solitary confinement, a punishment condemned by the UN torture expert as torture and under which Browder made numerous suicide attempts. Ultimately, he committed suicide six months after his case was dismissed and he was released from Rikers Island.
As the report details, and has been widely proven, solitary confinement is especially devastating for people with mental illness. As traumatic as the experience is for individuals without unique mental healthcare needs, solitary confinement compounds and exacerbates the effects of mental illness. In solitary housing, treatment and other forms of much-needed mental health interventions “such as therapy and structured activities” are routinely denied to individuals, who have limited time outside their confined space, if any, and have only psychotropic medication available to them. The report cites the vast and growing body of scientific evidence that highlights the dangers of housing people with mental illness in solitary confinement, including reports from those held in isolation of sensory and sleep deprivation, “psychiatric decompensations, hallucinations, and behaviors relating to self-harm.” Many others have committed suicide.

It’s been a tradition for many years, and was thankfully saved in 2014 after there was a possibility it wouldn’t take place.
And as for the reputation of wet weather...well, it seems to be a mixed bag. The long range weather forecast for June 2014 suggests that the first three days of the Hoppings will see cloud and rain – but the final six days will thankfully be sunny. Of course, forecasts aren’t always right, and this far ahead it’s difficult to know how much faith we can place in promises of sunshine. But let’s stay hopeful – and we’ll keep you updated with weather forecasts closer as the Hoppings approaches.
Send us your photos from the Hoppings 2014 by emailing them to firstname.lastname@example.org with your name and whereabouts you live.

(UNDATED) - Fort Wayne’s Tom Henry easily kept the mayor’s office in Democratic hands after Republican Matt Kelty was charged with filing a false campaign finance report.
Stephen Luecke cruised to another term in South Bend, as did fellow Democrat Jonathan Weinzapfel in Evansville.
Jim Mansfield appears to have moved Muncie back into the Democrats' column -- with a nine-vote win over Sharon McShurley that's likely to be recounted.

Spike in manatees killed by watercrafts
SARASOTA- Last year, Red Tide contributed to a near record number of overall Manatees killed, this year the number of Manatees killed in watercraft injuries could hit an all-time high.
“We actually tell individuals apart by the scars they acquire from vessel strikes,” Gretchen Lovewell said. “So unfortunately it’s something that they deal with on a really regular basis.”
So far this year 81 Manatees have been killed by watercrafts, according to FWC that’s up from 59 deaths in the same time period last year.
“Which is really alarming especially on the heels of last year when we had huge numbers of animals dying from red tide in addition to last year set a record for vessel mortalities as well,” Lovewell said. “So this is not a trend we like to see continue on the rise.”
Mote Marine Lab Stranding’s Investigations Program Manager Gretchen Lovewell says boat strikes are especially dangerous for Manatees.
“Because of the way Manatees are built, their lungs lay across their back as well as their kidneys,” Lovewell said. “So when they suffer those boat strikes a lot of times they will hit the lung or the kidney and that’s pretty much cause of death.”
Boaters on the water can take simple steps to help keep Manatees safe.
“Obey those slow speed signs, slow speed zones,” Lovewell said. “They are put there for a reason, they are put their based on Manatee habitat, the other little things you can do is wear polarized sunglasses, they are amazing at helping you see animals through the water.”
And if you do accidentally hit a Manatee be sure to report it.
“You’re not going to get in trouble,” Lovewell said. “But not only can we stand a better chance of helping that animal, but also it helps us better learn how the animals are interacting with the boats, if we know what happened, the size of the boat the size of the engine.
You can contact Mote’s 24-hour stranding’s investigations program at 941-988-0212.


Some people think springtime is their favorite time to visit the wildlife park to see baby animals. To others, summer is the best time: grizzly bears splashing around in pools and icy treats for everyone. And to others, winter offers a chance to see how animals adapt to colder temperatures and grow extra layers of fur. But to many, autumn is the most magical time: A palette of bronze sweeps the hillsides—golden light streams through the trees. Dust rises from animals, rolling and sparring. And through the forest comes an eerie, haunting whistle – the sound of elk bugling.
The rut – mating season – runs September-November. In the Free-Roaming Area, male elk, mountain goats, deer, and bighorn sheep put on a show and vie for dominance to select their mates. Some compare it to watching a wildlife soap opera as the males flaunt their size and racks and clash with challengers.
“The loud clash of antlers and an elk bugling are sounds you’ll never forget,” said Northwest Trek’s assistant curator Dave. “It is one of the most exciting times of the year in the Free-Roaming Area.”
The elk sparring for dominance will give loud, low, throaty grumbles that turn into high-pitched whistles or screeches, followed by a few grunts. That sound signals the elk calling for mates and threatening other bulls to stay away. Sometimes, the bulls will spar and clash antlers with one another or rub their antlers against trees and shrubs.
“Any way they can show they are the most superior of them all, they will,” said Dave.
Only time will tell who the winner of them all is. As for the female elk known as cows? They stick together and seem to pay the males no attention.
“You can’t see these intimate moments with nature unless you immerse yourself in the outdoors,” said Dave. “We are excited to share this incredible experience with our community.”
Guests may also see rams hitting horns, deer bucks rattling antlers, or mountain goats posturing and huffing at one other.
See the rut!
There are two ways this fall to see the rut in action:

Outings After ”Behind The Closed Door(s)”: A Review Of The Research Publications Of Professor Haroon Oladipo Tejumola - II
In 1997, at the retirement of Professor Tejumola, he gave his valedictory lecture, which he titled: ”Behind the Closed Door(s)”. Thus, most of what he must have done up to that time must have been REQUIRED by his type of job. Then, after his retirement, his employers have now officially said, you are free, live the rest of your life with your own self-written constitution. It will be excellent then, to say that whatever publications he did after, were outings after ”Behind the Closed Door(s)”, made by himself, for himself by those he may label by ’himself’ (his students), and those who may be labeled with himself (those who care to read his works).

AbbVie and CytomX to co-develop Probody therapeutics
Posted: 22 April 2016 | Victoria White, Digital Content Producer | No comments yet
AbbVie and CytomX Therapeutics have entered into a collaboration to co-develop and co-commercialise Probody Drug Conjugates against CD71…
CD71 is highly expressed in a number of solid and haematologic cancers and has attractive molecular properties for efficient delivery of cytotoxic payloads to tumour cells. Probody therapeutics are designed to take advantage of unique conditions in the tumour microenvironment to enhance the tumour-targeting features of an antibody and reduce drug activity in healthy tissues.
“We believe that the Probody platform provides a differentiated opportunity to combine with our strength in antibody drug conjugates,” said Steve Davidsen, Ph.D., vice president, oncology drug discovery, AbbVie. “We are encouraged by the promising preclinical data that CytomX has generated for their Probody drug conjugate programmes to-date and look forward to working closely with their team. This collaboration will enable us to expand our innovative pipeline in antibody drug conjugates and leverage our strength in that area to previously unexplored targets.”
“This collaboration is another important step toward achieving CytomX’s vision of transforming lives with safer, more effective therapies and allows us to further advance our broad pipeline of Probody therapeutics,” stated Sean McCarthy, D.Phil., president and chief executive officer at CytomX. “AbbVie has demonstrated leadership in developing antibody drug conjugates and we look forward to collaborating with their team to realise the full potential of our CD71 Probody drug conjugate programme and additional oncology targets.”
Probody therapeutics bind selectively to tumours
Probody therapeutics are designed to remain inactive until they are activated by proteases in the tumour microenvironment. As a result, Probody therapeutics bind selectively to tumours and avoid binding to healthy tissue, to minimise toxicity and potentially create safer, more effective therapies. CytomX has generated preclinical data that demonstrates that Probody drug conjugates can safely and effectively target tumour antigens, such as CD71, that are not addressable by conventional antibody-drug conjugates.
Under the terms of the agreement, CytomX and AbbVie will co-develop a Probody drug conjugate against CD71, with CytomX leading preclinical and early clinical development. AbbVie will lead later development and commercialisation, with global late-stage development costs shared between the two companies. CytomX will receive an upfront payment of $30 million and is eligible to receive up to $470 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestones, pending the achievement of pre-determined outcomes. AbbVie will lead global commercial activities with CytomX eligible to receive a profit share in the US and tiered double-digit royalties on net product sales outside of the US. CytomX retains an option to co-promote in the US.
AbbVie also receives exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialise Probody drug conjugates against up to two additional, undisclosed targets.

Ruins of Shettihalli Rosary Church in Karnataka, India
© Amith Nag Photography/Getty Image
India’s only ‘floating church’
Today, you are witnessing Shettihalli Rosary Church, an ancient catholic church built in the 19th century by the French missionaries. Located 22 km from Hassan in Karnataka, the church was abandoned in the 1960s and is currently in ruins. The uniqueness about the church is that it gets submerged in water and creates an illusion of a floating monument every monsoon and for the same reason, the ruined church has become a popular tourist attraction in the region.
The church reflects the French Gothic style of architecture that was used by the British to attract wealthy estate owners. The towering columns along with the arched walls are still visible with black and grey tints, rising above the blue rippling water. Standing tall in the middle of barren fields, the church doesn’t have a roof and echoes with the silence of the surroundings and the chirping of the birds. Overall, it is a great sight in Karnataka and definitely worth the venture.

Overcoming addiction can quickly pose challenges if you don’t have support to help you through it. As such, you may want to seek a rehab center to move you away from your current life while you focus on becoming sober. However, you may question if you should get one if you have an addiction counselor to help you.
Addiction counselors offer excellent assistance and knowledge about addiction, allowing them to walk you through your rehabilitation. You’ll want to know what you should do if you work with an addiction counselor, so keep some crucial points in mind to ensure you get the treatment you need to work past your addiction.
The Benefits of an Addiction Counselor
You’ll naturally pick up on some benefits as you work with an addiction counselor. After all, they focus their work on helping those with addictions, so they naturally offer great help.
- Having consistent support.
- Receiving resources from them.
- Relying on confidentiality.
Addiction counselors work as a consistent support system, since they’ll listen to your needs and help you. They’ll also give you access to different resources, so you’ll find the best options for your situation. They keep your information confidential ensuring no one you know finds out about your situation, so addiction counselors offer great support.
What to Do If You Have One
Since you may have an addiction counselor, you’ll question if you should bother seeking a drug rehab center. However, you can work alongside your addiction counselor to see how they can help you with finding one. That way, you’ll have another person to work alongside you while you find a place to tackle your addiction.
Talk About Your Options
You can go over the different options with your addiction counselor to find the best approach for your situation. For example, they may feel a rehab center works for you, but they may insist you should go to one with detox. On the other hand, they may suggest you identify an addiction recovery program you can apply to your life. Ensure you mention the different ideas you identified, so your addiction counselor can offer some advice. As you work together and discuss the choices available, you’ll figure out how to overcome your addiction through their assistance. It requires planning and trust in your counselor, so ensure you think it over and work with them.
See If They Recommend Any Centers
You should see if they mention any rehab centers in the area. Since they work with various addicts, they’ll know the best centers available to help those people overcome their addictions. They could even recommend specific centers based on your personality, needs and what you prefer from a drug rehab center. After all, going through the rehab centers on your own can quickly become difficult and add up based on the situation. You may not know which ones to pick, so having someone to guide you and recommend centers can make it easier. That way, instead of going through dozens of centers, your counselor can recommend a few of them to help you.
Have Them Search With You
Even if they don’t recommend specific drug rehab centers, you can ask them for advice with the search. See if they can give you a list of centers in the area along with their phone numbers based on the databases they have available. You can also ask if they know of any centers other people went to in the past to receive help.
They want to help you overcome your addiction, so seeking their advice with the search can help you through the situation. Then, once you finish with the drug rehab center, you can turn to your addiction counselor again and work with them to help you remain sober despite any struggles. Overcoming addiction will seem complicated, but you make it easier as you have the right addiction counselor and rehab centers to work with you. Ensure you research, think about your situation and cover your needs. If you need additional information to help with the process, you can always contact us at 855-334-6120 to get your questions answered.

text: There are always stereotypes about an origin of a band and the music that they are playing, which are most of the times true. Often enough though, we come across bands that are inspired by famous musicians and don't meet those cliches, and that's when things get even more interesting. What we have here is a band that saw the light of day in Belfast, and this, if I am not mistaken it's their second release so far. The music the band is playing is pure Classic Rock, with the attitude and the feeling of the genre, and their influences from Rock legends like Aerosmith or AC/DC in the nature of the songs is more than obvious, with a lot of personal touch though. The songs are fast, with crunchy riffs and angry vocals, the kind of songs that inspire you to move along with the rhythm, and consume beers like crazy. All aspects of the album are good, from the musicianship and the performance abilities of the band, to the compositions, everything is well worked and has no weak points or indifferent moments. While the groove and the good vibes are the most important things in this album, there's enough diversity in the music, and moments where the band explores more bluesy or much harder paths, and adds them in their music in a very cool and fluent way. The production is as distorted and heavy as should be, and preserves some of the dirty feeling of the music. At the end, the album leaves a good taste, and an uptempo feeling to the listener. There's plenty of parts to sing along, the music is catchy, and the tunes are heavy enough, but can also find some airplay in the proper radio stations. Well performed, fun to listen to, with nice ideas and a proper production, this album has all it takes to become a perfect companion. Get some friends, some ice cold beers, and prepare for some good time.

Frankfort, KY – Kentucky Department of Insurance (DOI) Commissioner Sharon Clark recently announced that an annual filing insurance carriers will use to develop rates for workers’ compensation coverage shows the seventeenth consecutive overall decrease in loss costs.
The 2022 filing, approved by the Kentucky Department of Insurance, and effective Jan. 1, 2023, was submitted by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI), an advisory organization that is the oldest provider of workers’ compensation and employee injury data and statistics in the nation.
“The decrease shows the continuing decline in the lost time claim frequency and flat trend of the indemnity severity rate as well as an annual loss ratio trend for indemnity of -6.8%,” said DOI Commissioner Clark. “Under the leadership of Gov. Andy Beshear, Kentucky is increasing its investment and creating quality jobs. The decreased claim figures make Kentucky an appealing state to do business.”
The filing reflects an overall decrease across the class codes used in Kentucky, including manufacturing, office, and clerical, contracting and goods and services. Wage and medical inflation have the potential to affect historical patterns and were considered but it is not anticipated to create increased premiums due to the declining claim trend. For coal classes, surface mining decreased 2.2% while underground coal mining increased 3.5% from the 2021 loss costs.
A loss cost is an average compensation for lost wages based on the level of disability, plus medical benefit payments. The loss cost is a direct component in the computation of an individual employer’s workers’ compensation insurance rate. COVID-19 related claims were not included in the data used for this analysis.

Organizational Behavior (Bachelor level)
Individuals spend most of their time in organizations - in schools, hobby clubs, various communities and, naturally, in workplaces. The objective of the course is to provide you with an understanding of the basic principles of human behaviour, and of how and why individuals behave the way they do in organizations. The course acquaints you with the knowledge of effective people management and you learn about theories and concepts that help you in managing effectively your relationships with colleagues, managers, subordinates and customers. The course provides the foundation for the module 'Managing People'. After completion of the course students know current leadership theories, organizational culture, team management, motivation theories, conflict as well communication strategies and get an idea how to apply the models and theories to organizational situations. The goal is to see organizations in their full complexity and understand how to manage and lead them.
Leading Responsibly (MBA)
The aim of this course is to help students carving out their own values and define their role as a future leader. Students learn the fundamentals of how to cope with the multifunctional and multidimensional problems of leadership in and of an organization. This is achieved by exercises and discussions on topics that help students to reflect on where they want to go with their lives, what their values, beliefs and attitudes are, how they intend to cope with leadership dilemmas, and elaborating on what is motivating them, both extrinsically and intrinsically, and which path in their life might be best to maximally unfold their potential and utilize their capabilities.
In addition we focus on what constitutes good and effective leadership, analyze leadership processes and interaction between leaders and employees and examine ethical aspects of leadership.
Leading Organizational Change (Master level)
The process of managing organizational change is one of the key endeavor that is in the core of organizational leadership and effective management of people. In spite of the long history of introducing organizational change initiatives, there is
little indication that these initiatives lead to success and are sustained over time.
This course focuses on key tasks in leading change processes in organizations with the aim of providing an understanding of how change is achieved in different organizational settings and change situations. During the course we will examine how people in front line, as well as in different management levels, participate and produce change, and connect with others to create change. Specific topics include models and frameworks for analyzing and diagnosing change; the role of the change agent, leading change from the top, bottom up change specific
interventions; strategies of change; a justice perspective on organisational change; and understanding recipients reactions to change.

"Aside from lifestyle and genetic factors, there is increasing evidence that bacterial infections may play a role in heart disease. Porphyromas gingivalis, an important bacterium that causes gum disease, is also linked to cardiovascular disease. In this study we have identified and studied four genes of P. gingivalis that allow it to infect and survive inside artery cells," says Paulo Rodrigues, a researcher on the study.
Rodrigues and his colleagues had previously discovered that P. gingivalis had the ability to invade and survive inside human artery cells. In this study they examined the role four different genes play in this ability. They created four strains of the bacterium, each with a different gene mutated to disable it, and tested their ability to invade and survived in artery cells compared to a fully functioning strain of P. gingivalis.
"Our study showed that all four mutated strains were defective in invasion of the artery cells and that their ability to survive inside of the cells was diminished. These results show that these four genes play a role in the invasion and survival of P. gingivalis inside artery cells," says Rodrigues. "The knowledge of how this pathogenic bacterium interacts with artery cells is important and may lead to the development of therapeutics and diagnostic tools for the detection and possibly prevention of heart diseases caused by this association."

"'Imagine an older woman who lives up the street who has trouble getting around physically,' says Oregon State researcher Ellen Smit. 'She may be at risk for food insufficiency – hunger – just because she has trouble getting around.'"
Later in the article, the author defines frailty as “a state of decreased physical functioning and/or had complications of aging that increased the risk for falls, disability, or premature mortality.”
CSFP food packages do not provide a complete diet, but rather are good sources of the nutrients typically lacking in the diets of the target population.
Here is a picture sampling what might be included in a CSFP box delivered by Gleaners.
Senior frailty is a bad cycle for those who can’t get the proper nutrients. They have trouble leaving the house and getting to the market, they can’t get the proper diet required for strength, and then their frailty increases. With these CSFP boxes, seniors are able to receive the proper nutrition needed to help subside this cycle.
The video below is of a woman who receives meals from the Meals On Wheels Association, but it mirrors the same process for many of our clients receiving the 40 pound box of food each month.

Reports have rapper Jawara Headley, better known as Brinx Billions, suing Nicki Minaj for over $200 million, alleging the rapper ripped off his track for her ‘Rich Sex’ song.
‘Rich Sex’ was onboard Nicki’s 2018 album, ‘Queen’, and peaked at #56 on the Billboard Hot 100. Billions claims Minaj ripped off his version of ‘Rich Sex’ after he played it for her years before ‘Queen’ hit shelves. Adding that Nicki told him the song would be “extremely marketable and become a global hit” just before she allegedly took it for herself.
Billions is listed as a writing contributor and shares album credits with Nicki, Weezy, and others but the rapper claims he is the sole creator, composer, and producer of ‘Rich Sex’.
As reports reached fans, they took to Twitter to mock Billions, with many calling him out and stating he’s been ungrateful and a snitch.
Take a look below.

George H.W. Bush instantly turned over all his papers, together with his private papers, when he left workplace. Then, at a later date, his private papers have been returned to him because the Archives sorted via all the pieces, sources conversant in his presidential papers stated.
A supply conversant in the Archives advised CNN that they didn’t keep in mind former President Jimmy Carter discovering any stray labeled paperwork.
Former Vice President Dan Quayle confirmed to CNN that all the pieces was turned over and he by no means had any points with discovering labeled papers after he left workplace, and sources conversant in information of former Vice President Dick Cheney stated he additionally turned all the pieces over when he left the White Home and is in compliance.
A spokesperson for former Vice President Al Gore stated, “When leaving the White Home in January 2001, Vice President Gore and his employees turned over supplies to NARA in accordance with the Presidential Data Act. No labeled supplies have been found within the 22 years since VP Gore left public workplace.”
This story has been up to date with extra particulars.

A Review Of
The Black Order #4 of 5
Writer: Derek Landy
Penciler: Philip Tan
Inker: Marc Deering with Scott Hanna, Guillermo Ortego & Le Beau Underwood
Colorist: Jay David Ramos
Cover Artist: Inhyuk Lee
Editor’s Note: The opinions expressed herein are purely the opinions of the author of this article and do not necessarily reflect the official opinions of CosmicBookNews. Timelord regularly reviewed the 2007 “Nova” and 2008 “Guardians of the Galaxy” series with his reviews directly sent to the books’ editors and creators. Timelord’s reviews have been quoted by Marvel in cover blurbs, press reviews, and solicits.
The Black Order were Thanos’ Generals. They are on a mission to bring Thanos back to life. This mini-series is the story of the beginning of their mission – essentially a prequel to the events unfolding in The Guardians of the Galaxy concurrently running series.
Landy is clearly what Marvel Cosmic has been lacking since Marvel unwisely terminated DnA – a writer who is also a Cosmic fan. He weaves an exciting, fast-paced, action-oriented story that will delight most true Cosmic fans. I was very pleased to see that he takes the story and characters seriously and completely avoids the goofball take on Cosmic started by James Gunn in the MCU and carried on by Bendis, Loeb, et al in the comic book universe once DnA departed. It is quite simply refreshing to see the Cosmic characters treated with the same degree of seriousness and respect that the street-level Earthbound characters in the MU regularly enjoy.
It is often challenging for writers to weave a story where the villains are the main characters. After all, The Black Order’s mission is to essentially bring back into the universe one of the universe’s apex villains, Thanos. It’s nearly impossible to root for their success or to in any way like or sympathize with them. That’s why villains are so often written so one-dimensionally. Landy manages to really flesh out each character. He brings uniqueness and nuance to each – showing us different personalities by exploring a character’s inner dialog and/or back story rather than the lazy writing approach of simply differentiating one villain from another according to what super-power they wield. That really held my interest and made me want to learn more about each of these villains – deplorable as they and their mission are.
In an interesting twist, my favorite hero (as some of you know – lol), Nova, guest stars in this issue as a villain – having been enslaved and turned to villainous purposes by the events of the prior issue of this mini-series. Again, Landy manages to capture Rich Rider’s personality or swagger better than anyone since DnA. He is clearly aware of Rich’s history – with Rich making oblique reference to the events of Annihilation: Conquest as he struggles to remain as heroic as possible despite being under mind control of another. Impressive. I hope Landy is also a Rich Rider Nova fan, because if this is representative of his take on the character, I’d like to see more. We need writers who are true Cosmic fans to save the Cosmic characters from this stupid notion that all Cosmic should be written as farce simply because the stories are set in space.
Lee’s cover art is amazing! I prefer the more photo-realistic-oriented comic book art and Lee has produced one of the best fight scenes featuring Nova that I’ve seen since the DnA years when Granov was producing his incredible cover art. The story art and coloring by Tan, Deering, and Ramos were also very well done.
I once told Tom Brevoort that I looked forward to the day when Alonso’s, Bendis’, and Loeb’s tenure on Marvel Cosmic would just be a bad memory. Of course, he didn’t like that comment and told me so. But now, with the passage of time, Alonso, Bendis, and Loeb are just bad memories. As long as no one comes along to repeat what they did, maybe Marvel Cosmic will have a bright future. If Landy’s work is representative of a new era in Marvel Cosmic, I’m cautiously optimistic.

The main focus of this collection, which Stardust assembled in 2000, is the lesser-known 1943-1946 recordings of the drumless Nat King Cole Trio, which included Cole on vocals and piano, Oscar Moore on guitar, and Johnny Miller on bass. (Wesley Prince was the trio's original bassist, and bass dynamo Red Callender was briefly on board after Prince and before Miller.) Golden Years: 1943-1946 isn't the place to go if you're only interested in hearing the trio's best known recordings; you won't find "Route 66," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Hit That Jive, Jack," or "The Frim Fram Sauce" on this CD. The melancholy "I'm Lost" (1943) isn't obscure, but for the most part, Golden Years spotlights the trio's lesser-known work. Ranging from the funky jive numbers "Got a Penny, Benny" and "Let's Spring One" to romantic torch ballads like "My Lips Remember Your Kisses," "Beautiful Moons Ago," and "Let's Pretend," the disc tends to offer material that is solid and pleasing, if less than essential. Not everything on the CD is a trio recording; "I've Found a New Baby," "Rosetta," "Sweet Lorraine," and "Blowed and Gone" are swing instrumentals from Dexter Gordon's first session as a leader. With Gordon on tenor sax, Cole on piano, Harry "Sweets" Edison on trumpet, Miller or Callender on bass, and Clifford "Juicy" Owens on drums, the group was billed as the Dexter Gordon Quintet. These rarities (probably from 1943 or 1944) illustrate Lester Young's tremendous influence on Gordon, who still sounded a lot like the Prez at that point and had yet to develop a recognizable sound of his own; although by 1945, Long Tall Dex would become quite distinctive and influential himself. Golden Years: 1943-1946 isn't recommended to those who don't consider themselves serious Cole collectors; for casual listeners, a better introduction to the Cole Trio of the 1940s would be Rhino's 16-track CD Jumpin' at Capitol: The Best of the Nat King Cole Trio. But those who are heavily into Cole will find a lot to admire about this collection.

Nigeria’s high and ever-growing population, currently estimated to be 210 million, has been a source of concern to development experts, who insist that human capital should be a catalyst for productivity and national development.
By effectively investing in key areas of development, including Education, Health and support for small and medium-scale businesses, Nigeria’s population can be deployed as tool for national progress and development, Mr Peter Obi, Leadership and Governance analyst, who was Governor of Nigeria’s Southeastern State of Anambra and former Vice Presidential candidiate of the PDP, Nigeria’s main opposition party, said in a statement his aide shared with Prime Business Africa.
Obi wants Nigerian leaders to harness the country’s huge population for maximum national productivity and progress, even as the world celeberates Population Day. He explained that the huge population with which Nigeria is endowed, should be seen as a blessing, not a curse.
In his assessment, huge population of over 200 million appears a burden to Nigeria because it has not been properly harnessed.
A consistent commentator on national and economic issues, Obi stated that an educated and healthy population in a private sector-driven economy is a blessing to any nation.”In the world of today, where human capital is the greatest asset of any nation, huge population is no longer a disadvantage, Obi said while referencing India, a leading nation in information technology.
India, he said, has a population of over 1.3 billion people, while China, with its massive industrial productivity, has over 1.4 billion people.
“The same applies to Vietnam, Indonesia and some other similar economies. These countries have duely invested in their human capital, thus resulting in national progress and development.”
Obi said “Our high population has not been a blessing to us as a nation due to accumulated leadership failure over the years where the leaders have not sincerely invested in the people by prioritising education, health and supporting the small business sector which is the engine of economic development in any nation.”
He, therefore, advised leaders to invest in education, health and poverty alleviation to build an economy that would support the growing population and ensure Nigeria remains viable and productive.

A week is a long time in football: just ask those connected with Dinamo Zagreb.
The Croatian champions put in a spirited display as they were defeated 2-0 by Tottenham in north London last Thursday but as they prepare to host Jose Mourinho‘s side for the Europa League last-16 second leg in Zagreb, much has changed in the intervening period.
It was impossible to miss the towering 6’2 figure of Zoran Mamic as he prowled the technical area and barked orders out to his players during the first leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but he won’t be in attendance at Stadion Maksimir this week.
“Manager loses job” isn’t exactly headline news these days but Mamic’s departure from Dinamo is a far from typical football divorce story.
Rather than making plans to keep Harry Kane and Gareth Bale quiet, Mamic is instead facing up to the prospect of spending the next four years and eight months behind bars, after being found guilty of committing fraud by Croatia’s supreme court.
Mamic, his brother Zdravko, the former vice-president of Croatia’s Football Federation, ex-Dinamo director Damir Vrbanovic and tax inspector Milan Pernar, have all been charged with embezzling 116m kuna (£13m) from transfer fees received by Dinamo – including deals which took Luka Modric to Spurs in 2008 and Dejan Lovren to Lyon in 2010 – and tax evasion, worth an additional 12.2m kuna (£1.38m).
A day before his sentencing in June 2018, Zdravko Mamic fled to neighbouring Bosnia where he has citizenship. He has remained there ever since.
“Although I don’t feel guilty, I resign as I said before I would do if the sentence was confirmed,” Mamic said in a statement via Dinamo’s website. “I wish all the good luck to the club.” He has been replaced by his former assistant Damir Krznar, who will also assume duties as Dinamo’s sporting director.
Mamic’s resignation might seem rather sudden, but the case has been rumbling on for some time. At Euro 2016, Croatia fans sought to self-sabotage their own team by throwing flares on the pitch during a match against Hungary, airing their grievances at the running of domestic football on the continental stage.
It also dominated Croatia’s preparations for the 2018 World Cup in which they finished runners-up to France. The quartet were convicted on Wednesday 6 June, 15 days before Croatia’s 3-0 win over Argentina in their opening match of the tournament.
Captain Luka Modric, who went on to end Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s nine-year stranglehold of the Ballon d’Or that year, had a perjury charge hanging over him during the tournament after being accused of providing false testimony at Mamic’s trial. He was subsequently acquitted.
The drama surrounding Mamic didn’t appear to have any undue effect on Dinamo’s players at the weekend, as they bounced back from their Spurs defeat by thrashing Varazdin 5-0 to consolidate their position at the top of the Croatian league standings, in what proved to be his final game in charge.
Mourinho avoided being drawn into commenting on Mamic’s sentence but insisted that as far as he was concerned, little has changed. “Same players, same team, the assistant coach becomes the coach now, the ideas are the same there, the philosophy is the same,” he said.
“They’re not going to change anything in two days. When someone is the assistant shares the ideas of the head coach, I don’t feel anything is going to be different.”

It’s been a steady focus forward for this talented group of guys from the start – Bend Sinister formed in 2001 and began playing as many bar shows as they possibly could in their hometown of Kelowna.
After relocating to Vancouver, selling out a four-song EP and acquiring a new drummer and guitarist, the band sought out producer Shawn Cole to put together what is now their first full-length album Through the Broken City.
“The band has always been sort of my pet project almost from high school days,” said the band’s frontman Dan Moxon during a recent chat.
“I graduated from high school in 2000, and that’s kind of when the band formed with all different members except for myself.”
There have also been line-up changes over the years.
“From album to album, there have always been different members and what-not. But this configuration – including the guitar and bass players – have been on the last four records, and our drummer has been on the last two. He’s the newest addition to the band, having been with us for almost three years now.
“But when you’ve been in a band for almost 20 years, there are a lot of people who have left the touring life to be maybe a lawyer, or a doctor or a professor,” he explained with a laugh.
In 2006, the guys switched labels to newly-formed sister division of Distort Entertainment, Distort Light.
After a few more changes to their line-up, Bend Sinister returned to the studio once again in 2008 in order to put together what was to become their second full-length album, Stories of Brothers, Tales of Lovers.
The EP Bend Sinister came out in 2007, and in 2012, the guys released On My Mind and Small Fame.
Their latest project, the aforementioned Foolish Games, was released earlier this year.
Moxon said as a kid he was put into the proverbial piano lessons.
“I kind of revolted against those because they were too structured with the typical Royal Conservatory. So around Grade six, I had a teacher that taught the whole class to play guitar with all of these Beatles and Rolling Stones songs. That’s what started my ambition to play music and we even started a little band in Grade six.
“We had a drum kit, bass and guitar in the class, and from there on I played jazz guitar in high school and got pretty into that world.”
He then ventured off to university to study film, but ultimately realized that music was indeed his main forte.
It wasn’t long before Bend Sinister came to be, and initially the guys had to work on defining their unique sound amongst a myriad of influences.
Initially, Moxon’s songs were a focus but a strong sense of collaboration would ultimately take shape when it came to crafting new tunes. “Everyone is taking part in the lyrical process and the arrangements of the songs as well.”
Moxon wasn’t singing right off the bat – the first couple of records were instrumentals.
“I just wasn’t comfortable being a singer, and I had never been a frontman,” he said of those early years. He did have some experience performing with a friend in a kind of Simon and Garfunkel, folk-style, singer/songwriter duo.
“Through singing with somebody else, I become kind of comfortable enough to start singing by myself,” he explained. But again, he didn’t see himself as a singer in his growing up years.
“I didn’t sing a single tune as a kid,” he said.
These days, Moxon has no qualms about hitting the stage with confidence and belting out the instantly engaging, alt-rock tunes the guys serve up so very well.
“To see the excitement and the appreciation is pretty rewarding.”
They have even toured quite extensively overseas, with stops in Sweden, Scotland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Holland and France.
Each time it was an amazing and creatively enriching experience as well.
“I absolutely love going to Europe – those are opportunities that you aspire to. You see other places, you get to perform and you can show your art to the world.”
In the meantime, Moxon is happy to be on the homefront with the guys doing what they do best.
“I’m happy to tour when the opportunities come around, but at the same time it’s more about the making of the music to me and having a comfortable lifestyle where I can keep being creative.”
