What could be better on a cold winter day than a warming, smooth soup? Well, sometimes a cold soup. Few days ago I was supposed to make creamy, silky and warming root soup but then I had to make a change of plans. I wasn’t feeling very well and I couldn’t cook nor eat anything heavy and warm. I needed something simple, fresh and cool.
There’s nothing more simple than cold soups made in a blender. You can just add all the ingredients into the blender and let it make all the work. And still you don’t have to give up from the good taste. So this is the yummy avocado-cucumber-yoghurt soup recipe I developed on that day.
Cold Avocado Cucumber Soup
takes 5 minutes to make
1 ½ cups turkish yoghurt (natural)
1 cucumber (about 200 g)
2 cloves of garlic
few sprigs of chives
few sprigs of dill
pinch of salt
good olive oil
Peel the avocados and remove the stones. Wash the cucumber. Chop the avocados and cucumber. Add all the soup ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
Garnish the dishes with few drops of olive oil, lime juice and chopped chives.

Those opening their mail in India will soon have the scent of coffee to look forward to, but without having to pour a cup themselves.
The Coffee Board and India Post launched a coffee-scented stamp in Bengaluru on Sunday. The Rs100 ($1.55) stamps, featuring beans, a cup of the brew and the word COFFEE, is on sale via the India Post's website, plus 84 "philatelic bureaus" across the country. Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha launched the stamps at the General Post Office.
An ad for the launch posted on Twitter by the Coffee Board states: "Sent the aroma of coffee to your loved ones. Who would you gift these scented coffee stamp?" and the board claimed in a tweet that people were already queuing to buy the stamps.
It isn't the first time India has introduced stamps that smell. According to The Hindu website, a sandalwood-scented stamp was launched in 2006, with rose-fragranced varieties following in 2007.
India's coffee is exported worldwide, with Italy being the number one destination, taking 25 percent of exports in 2015-16, according to the India Coffee website. Nearly nine percent goes to Russia, in second place, while only 1.8 percent goes to the U.S.
Starbucks and Costa both have stores in India as well as Café Coffee Day, which also has a range of upscale holiday resorts in the country. But tea is still hugely popular in the country, with Indians each drinking 176.6 cups per year in 2015, compared to only 16.6 cups of coffee, according to Euromonitor figures.
This year has seen a global shortage in the supply of coffee, for the third year in a row, according to the International Coffee Organization.

Ultrashort pulsed (USP) or ultrafast lasers can do something very unique: They ablate almost any material without causing a thermal load of the adjacent material. Their cuts are smooth and melt-free, even on a micron scale. All of this makes ultrafast lasers very interesting for industries such as tool making, where hard materials must be processed very precisely.
In recent years, much progress has been made in developing ultrafast laser sources: Lasers with higher average power, higher pulse energy or higher repetition rate have become available. They have been complemented by beam delivery systems, either based on ultrafast scanners or some special diffractive optical elements (DOE), that spread one beam into a pattern of many identical beamlets. Although laser sources and beam delivery systems have improved remarkably, there is still room to grow, in particular when it comes to high-power lasers and high-efficiency processing technology.
The optical dot-matrix printer
A consortium of six partners from industry and research is now planning the next step in the development of the USP-laser process technology. They will develop a powerful 1 kW laser source and combine it with a special optical system that delivers a pattern of more than 60 switchable beamlets. One can see this as a late descendant of the dot-matrix printer.
The consortium consists of the research institute Fraunhofer ILT and the RWTH Aachen University from Germany as well as Amplitude Systèmes, LASEA France, AA Opto-Electronic from France and LASEA from Belgium as industrial research and development partners. The European Commission is supporting the project, named “MultiFlex”, within the framework of the program ICT-04-2018 for three years with an amount of € 4.7 million.
Delivery: High-end system ready for industrial use
The partners are looking beyond the already challenging system components: They intend to deliver a prototype with all the necessary control technology ready for the shop floor. It will start with a 1 kW laser machine that can deliver up to 1 mJ pulse energy either at the regular 1 MHz repetition rate or in a burst mode with less than 20 ns pulse separation.
The optical system converts the single laser beam into a pattern of more than 60 beamlets, where each single beamlet can be turned on and off separately. The resulting pattern can be directed onto the workpiece with a fast scanner. The complex system will be complemented by an industry grade control unit.
The resulting prototype will undergo an extensive series of tests and be validated in use cases provided by associated industrial end users. It has already been estimated that the prototype will improve the productivity by about 100 fold compared to current standard ultrafast laser processing systems. This will not only allow for significant progress in the tool making industry, but also opens up new perspectives for the application of ultrafast lasers for the texturing and functionalization of large surfaces.
This project receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 825201.

CBD has a promising role as alternative therapy in the management of anxiety disorders. However, more studies with standardized approaches to dosing and clinical outcome measurements are needed to determine the appropriate dosing strategy for CBD and its place in therapy.
Journal of the American Pharmacists Association
Published: November 19, 2019
The evidence reviewed above demonstrates the potential utility of the phytocannabinoid cannabidiol and pharmacological inhibitors of FAAH, to elevate levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide, for the treatment of anxiety-related disorders in the future. Such cannabinoid-related medicines could be used in various ways to treat these disorders. Given their acute anxiolytic effects, cannabidiol and FAAH inhibitors could be used as adjuncts to first-line SSRI or SNRI treatment, which have a delayed therapeutic response. Such drugs could be an improvement over benzodiazepines, which have abuse liability, a less favourable side effect profile and can interfere with extinction, which forms the theoretical basis for exposure therapy used in the psychological treatment of certain anxiety-related disorders [1, 10]. In this respect, cannabinoids could be combined with existing or novel psychological therapies to facilitate extinction enhancement and/or fear memory reconsolidation disruption, both of which may result in a lasting reduction of fear. Cannabinoid-related medicines could also be given as anxiolytics on their own but further research is needed to determine their effects when given repeatedly as the few studies that have examined this issue have found mixed results [107, 108, 109, 110]. The potential for certain adverse effects should also be examined more thoroughly given the reports of cannabinoid use being linked to executive dysfunction [111, 112]. Nevertheless, based on the evidence reviewed here, further research on cannabinoid regulation of fear and anxiety appears to be warranted and below we suggest various lines of enquiry for future work in this area.
The anxiolytic effects of CBD have been extensively demonstrated in animal studies and in healthy volunteers subjected to anxiety induced by several procedures, including the simulation of public speaking (Zuardi et al., 1993; Blessing et al., 2015). A pioneering study that investigated the effects on SAD patients showed that CBD reduces anticipatory anxiety (Crippa et al., 2011). Moreover, CBD was found to exert a significant effect on increased brain activity in the right posterior cingulated cortex that is thought to be involved in the processing of emotional information. A subsequent study (Bergamaschi et al., 2011) experimentally demonstrated a reduction in the anxiety provoked by simulated public speaking by a single dose of CBD in patients with SAD, although the findings were preliminary. Based on these findings, the current study was conceived to extend the published research into a more systematic study on the effect of CBD on teenagers with SAD with avoidant personality disorder for a longer period. Its results are consistent with those obtained by the previous research and indicate that intervention with CBD for a 4-week period reduced the level of symptoms in teenagers with SAD, as measured by FSE and LSAS.
In all, the results of the current study provide evidence for anxiolytic effects of repeated CBD administration in teenagers with SAD. At the same time, however, the author acknowledges several limitations of the current study. No assay of the blood level of CBD was undertaken. A more detailed baseline sociodemographic evaluation could have been performed to ensure the pretreatment similarity of the treatment groups. Measurements need to be performed at additional times between the baseline and the end of the study. These measures would be essential to show, for example, if CBD could produce rapid improvement of social anxiety (a putative advantage over paroxetine). Moreover, possible side effects should be evaluated systematically. Clearly, these are issues for future research that should also be long-term studies with a positive control (e.g., paroxetine) to better assess the potential usefulness of CBD in the therapy of SAD.

The response trigger is a drop-in kit for the 98 Custom. The response trigger kit increases your trigger speed by resetting the trigger and sear with excess gas during firing. This gas is used to operate a cylinder behind the trigger to do the resetting. The pressure of your finger on the trigger pulls it back to fire the next shot. The speed is determined by the amount of flow through the knurled adjuster on the side. The upper limit on the rate of fire is set by this adjuster.
The Tippmann RT Trigger is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used.

Sorta makes owning a Tippy less stressful
It isn't fast, and not worth the money. My friend put it like as fast as it would go, i thought he was kidding. i could easily outshoot his gun with a semi. i guess it isnt stressful to install if u take it somewhere to get it done, but i wouldnt drill a hole or whatever into my gun
Not worth it i dont think, try to find it for cheap. oh yeah, for people who think they're snipers or whatever: you don't snipe in paintball.
I have a model 98 running on CO2 with a polished stock, flatline system, & big daddy barrels, i also have the RT (response trigger) kit, 12 volt revy, coiled remote, double trigger, polished drop forward, expansion chamber, pro-team power feed, feild strip screw kit, & a rear velocity adj.
it increases the rate of fire.... but is it too much??????
The product increases the rate of fire to such an extent at a variable rate while in consistant fire, and causes ball breakage... especially when you get up to the higher bps. Since the design of the gun is not a vertical feed & on such an unusual angle, the feed rate stinks... even with my 12V revvy, and pro-team powerfeed.
I liked it origonally, but have determined that the electro kit, or the stock 98 alone are better than the RT98, due to the fact that is impossible to keep up with the feed rate of a 98 with the kit on it.
Tipmann 98 act with responce trigger,cyclone feed 16'' inch barrel,red and green dot sight
Amazing firing rate,easy to install,improves u as a player...
A little more co2 consumption and requires cyclone feed to work better
Ok i installed the responce trigger 1 year ago.Instalation was extremely easyfor me maybe and i saw an instructional video on youtube that helped me...u have to make a hole to ur gun but the hole is already there...it is covered with a light piece of metal..if u put pressure there with a screwdriver it breaks and its ready to take the responce trigger...
When i fired the first time i thought i bought another marker...Amazing firing rate(and sound!!!) that u can control..If u press the trigger softly it fires softly,if u insist u get a full automatic marker..u can still fire 1 shot at a time if u practice a little...
I already had a cyclone feed system installed and that helped a lot...with an ordinary feeder u will get some space between paintballs and the marker will fire blank shots...
Now for maintenace...over this year i didnt have to reapir anything with the responce trigger and my gun works perfect...
Now in the field i got a lot of better perfomance and moving targets are piece of cake for me!!!
Of course i spent more ammo.for example if u spent without r/t previously 200-250 paintballs now u spent 400...
GETIT GET IT GET IT AND U WILL REMEMBER ME...Its like getting a new and a much better marker.
Tempermental and most fields will not let you use it.
Do not buy this item. Yes it will greatly increase your speed but at what cost. I found myself chopping balls more regularly, especially if you use the flatline barrel. Most fields will not let you use this item much the same way that most will not let you put your electric marker on automatic because in truth that is what this thing is like.
If you play backyard ball, as its called, you may get away with this but then again why bother.
The installation while not difficult forces you to punch a whole in your 98 and the adjustment knob itself is a bit weak and mine was bent at some point. Still worked fine, but was still bent.
At my local field I was tired of being out gunned by those dang Ions, Egos and the occasional DM so I figured out my solution. I bought my RT about a year ago and it has served me well ever since. I knew that it would increase the rate of fire on my Tippmann but I had no idea that it would work as well as it has. It is an amazing upgrade an expensive one but it is well worth it. I never thought that Tippmann and ropes of paint were to be used in the same sentence. I use the fact that it stops working when there are about 100 shots left in the tank to tell me when I'm low on air. It is amazing to say the very least. the best part about it is that it is fully mechanical so it will work in the wet weather.
I recommend that every body that uses a Tippmann on speedball fields get ont because it will instill fear into the hearts of an Ion User.
A little hard to controll
Some chops see review
Well, i like it. It was a good investment, and i dont regret buying it. A few things, someon tell me if the cyclone feed keeps up with it. Mine chops sometimes, but others say it shouldn't. Its a great upgrade if you have a 98 custom or custom pro. Its fun playing noobs with this thing , they get scared and play eve worse :) yay!
tippmann 98 custom with response trigger, m-16 apex and carr adjustable stock
Shoots fast, decent price, no need to buy an air tank
Kind of a gas hog
i had a tippmann with just a normal trigger and then i upgraded to the response trigger. once i did that i was soo impressed i bought another tippmann with a response trigger. This shoots so fast and is cool because you can adjust the speed of which it shoots. this gun can compete with any other gun and is a good price.
I love this. it is the best 100 dollars I ever spent. dont go out and buy a 1000 dollar gun when you can get one just as good for 170.

There is absolutely nothing that I have ever used that can compare to ths. It is just incredible. With this upgrade I can now keep up with many higher end guns in bps. I LOVE the ability to shoot bursts of three or just full-auto!! This is a must for every Tippmann 98 owner.BUY IT!!!

The response trigger is an excellent advantage to have out in the woods. Just holding down the to trigger (if you have a double trigger) will unleash up to 15 bps, depending on your hopper. Just buy a decent hopper and good barrel, so it'll feed to it's full potential and become extremely accurate.
I 100% reccomend this product to anyone with a tippmann. It is basically full auto, and a good barrel and hopper upgrade make this an your gun a deadly combonation!

Of the film pairs I’ve chosen to lasso together for these “Double Feature” posts, this is one of the more improbable. At first glance, the link between these movies is laughably tenuous. One is a silent comedy from 1931 Hollywood, made by a man steeped in the traditions of vaudeville. The other is a bloody, fast-paced action movie from 1989 Hong Kong, made by a man influenced by the crime films of America and France. At least in the way they handle guns, Charlie Chaplin in City Lights and Chow Yun-Fat in The Killer couldn’t possibly be more different. Do these movies have anything in common beyond the fact that each has a blind female character?
Well, for starters, let’s be more specific. In each film, the main character encounters a young lady while going about his business. She changes his life; out of love, he chooses to do whatever it takes to earn the money for an operation to restore the woman’s sight. Meanwhile, he keeps his true identity hidden from her. That’s still a pretty thin connection. We can also say that the man meets another man who will play a major role in his fate, but there’s really no comparison between the millionaire and the police detective. These are wildly different stories — different tones, different milieus, different resolutions. But the filmmakers’ attitude toward the shared conceit is the same, and from there blossoms a romantic approach to storytelling that’s unmistakable. Chaplin and The Killer writer-director John Woo boldly put their hearts on their sleeves with these films, and the finely calibrated results can be entertaining and devastating in the span of a single scene. To put these films together is to see, on one side, the cinema of flowers by the curb, and on the other side, the cinema of candles snuffed out by a dove’s wings. Extravagant expression is the unifying quality.
The physical comedy of Charlie Chaplin is notable for combining elegance and earthiness. His Little Tramp persona always has an air of gentility despite his poverty. City Lights represents the filmmaker’s most successful hybrid of gags and pathos. Every time the tenderness of a scene reaches its zenith, Chaplin will deflate the moment with a bucket of water to the face or a potted plant to the cranium. These jokes are in no way cynical or embarrassed by emotion. Chaplin loves the emotions he can evoke, every single one of them. He just knows he can’t linger on one for too long or it will go stale. John Woo’s approach to action in The Killer is actually quite similar. The beautiful choreography and camera work always coexist with a sobering amount of bloodshed. The action weaves from spectacular coolness to heart-stopping danger to shocking collateral damage. Any one of these notes could have been overplayed, but they balance each other. The squib symphony of the film’s finale is a textbook example, with clearly delineated movements that keep the barrage of gunfire from feeling endless.
As a larger strategy, each film starts by promising uncomplicated fun (although The Killer opens with a church scene that foreshadows a metaphysical crisis for the main character) only to smuggle in deeper emotional resonance by the end. The Tramp’s journey in City Lights could be compared to a seesaw ride in which the positive and negative swings grow more and more pronounced. He’s in the same place at the end as he was at the beginning, but once the hope of a better life is introduced, its loss becomes crushing. Even before the ecstatic final moments, the closing scene has immense power, rendering the most famous character in movie history almost unrecognizable in his despondence. The trajectory of the assassin Ah Jong (Chow Yun-Fat) in The Killer is more like a downward spiral, subtle enough that he doesn’t recognize it until it’s too late to find a way back up. The “one last job” kicks off a series of double crosses and retaliation. An efficiently run criminal organization suddenly starts to destroy itself. Even though Ah Jong maintains an aura of calm superiority to his enemies, the cracks in his armor start to multiply. These films may have launched from the same place, but ultimately they head in different directions.
The older film ended one era, while the newer film essentially launched another. Chaplin’s defiance of the talkie revolution is legendary, but City Lights actually makes ample use of sound. In fact, some of the most striking techniques in the film are the sound effects, with comedic routines amplified by the presence of a whistle, a piano, or a boxing ring bell. Around this time, Chaplin basically treated synchronized sound as a gimmick on the order of 3-D cinematography. He wasn’t failing to learn new tricks; he just wanted to keep a specific art form alive. Chaplin had unique clout in Hollywood, but not even he could slow the march of change. In a way, City Lights is among the least influential of all masterpieces. By contrast, The Killer played a central role in bringing Hong Kong action cinema to the West, bringing style and energy to the genre that are still being emulated. The image of the gunfighter, a weapon in each hand, sliding backwards on the floor while firing, has become archetypal. The Big Boss, the hordes of cannon-fodder henchmen punctuated by The One Henchman Who Can’t Be Killed (who doesn’t usually have to speak, incidentally; here, he’s basically The Guy With the Sunglasses), the car chases and explosions — it all feels intimately familiar. Ironically enough, Woo might be just as dedicated to honoring traditions as Chaplin was, taking inspiration from the films of Martin Scorsese and Jean-Pierre Melville. Neither City Lights nor The Killer was so much trailblazing as it was perfecting established forms. Maybe traditions need to travel all the way around the world before they look fresh again. It would have taken a lot more than that to save silent movies, though.
What of the blind women themselves (played by Virginia Cherrill and Sally Yeh)? It can be said that they function more as symbols than flesh-and-blood people. Their problems are compelling, but they are entirely dependent on the heroes to solve them. These women represent innocence, purity, a chance at a fresh start. The Tramp and Ah Jong enjoy thinking of themselves the way the women think of them — a dream that’s more comfortable and less compromised than reality. (Ah Jong also keeps the truth a secret because he was inadvertently responsible for the woman’s blindness in the first place.) At the same time, these men jump at the chance to give the women their sight back. This is what love looks like to Chaplin and Woo. It begins when I feel good in the presence of another person, but it reaches completion when I seek that person’s welfare first, even at the cost of my own happiness. The outcome may be comic or tragic, but the point is to love, no matter what. That’s a message worth spreading.

CBP, Puerto Rico Police intercept 1,744 pounds of cocaine; 5 men arrested
AGUADILLA, Puerto Rico – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol Agents assisted Puerto Rico Police Department partners to intercept and seize 1,744 pounds (791 kilos) of cocaine, and arrest 5 US citizens in the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico. The estimated street value of the seized cocaine is $ 22.1 million.
“Our agents remain vigilant to support our Operation Stonegarden partners in Puerto Rico,” stated Ramiro Cerrillo, Ramey Sector Chief Patrol Agent. “Providing grant funding for their operations and sharing capabilities has immediate returns.”
Ramey Sector Border Patrol Agents responded to a call for assistance from the Puerto Rico Police Department’s Joint Forces of Rapid Action (FURA, for its Spanish acronym) maritime unit which was in pursuit of a suspect vessel near the town of Patillas.
The vessel made landfall at Inches Beach, Patillas, where PRPD and Border Patrol agents arrested five men who claimed to be US Citizens. Inside the vessel 34 bundles were found that field tested positive to the properties of cocaine. A firearm and three vehicles were also seized.
The subjects, conveyances, firearm and narcotics were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for prosecution and further disposition.
The Operation Stonegarden Grant Program (OPSG) is designed to enhance cooperation and coordination from the U.S. Border Patrol with local, tribal, territorial, state and federal law enforcement agencies in a joint mission to secure the border.
OPSG funds were allocated based on risk-based prioritization using a Border Patrol Sector-specific border risk methodology. Factors considered included, but were not limited to, threat, vulnerability, miles of border, and other border-specific “law enforcement intelligence,” as well as feasibility of FY 2016 Operation Orders to designated localities within the United States Border States and territories.
For Fiscal Year 2016 the Puerto Rico Police Department FURA units received a grant totaling $1,299,185 to support their collaborative operations with the U.S. Border Patrol.
As America’s unified border agency, CBP has a critical role in the efforts to keep dangerous drugs like cocaine and other narcotics out of the hands of the American public.

The Best Way To Learn Spanish: Music
Music is such a universal thing, often you don’t even need to know what the lyrics mean to enjoy the song. Though, it can help obviously!
For example, one of the best ways to learn Spanish is through music. In fact, the Spanish culture is loved for their vibrant and happy music, ranging from dance music Reggaetón to their traditional flamenco.
Engaging with a culture’s sound is a really fun way to supplement our Spanish for beginners course. While you’re practising your vocabulary, you may as well do it through the enjoyment of music. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to understand the words in a certain context. A big help when a beginner in any language.
So, if you’re ready to better your Spanish lingo through some good tunes, below is a list of our favourite songs for learning Spanish through music.
Agua – Jarabe de Palo
The first song on our list is this one by a Spanish rock group called Jarabe de Palo. The song has a very wonderful video on YouTube that includes some fantastic subtitles in both Spanish and English. This makes it extremely easy to match the corresponding words to one another, resulting in a sneaky beginner’s Spanish lesson!
This song is loved for its easy tune and the clarity with which the words are sung, making it a perfect choice for anyone to follow along to.
Carito – Carlos Vives
This one makes it onto our list because it’s one of the most loved songs for its catchy tune and, again, the clarity with which the words are sung.
It refers to a schoolboy who has a crush on his teacher, Carito. You’ll find many references to school and learning in the song, which you can throw around in your beginner’s class and impress your teacher – bonus points!
Macarena – Los del Rio
As we’ve mentioned, one of the best ways to learn Spanish is through music but if you include dance too, you’ve got a winning combo that will make remembering phrases and words that much easier.
When you move and sing, your brain will begin to associate the sounds and movements to the Spanish words and you won’t even realise it’s happening.
The Macarena song by Los del Rio is still a huge hit to this day. It is played at many parties around the world and manages to get people moving on the dancefloor with its universally entertaining moves.
For anyone starting out with beginner’s Spanish, this is a song you should listen to and take note of. It’s a really fun way to learn the language and you can enjoy it with friends and family too.
Quiero – Malú
For our fourth choice we’ve got Quiero by Malú. This song is all about pursuing your dreams and not giving up. Listening to songs that touch on inspirational topics such as this are undoubtedly some of the best ways to learn Spanish. They can become extremely memorable because of the sentimental elements.
This song in particular is a really good one for learning important verbs like “I want” and “I can”. After listening to it a couple of times, you’ll definitely be able to catch on quickly.
There are so many more Spanish songs for you to choose from that are full of good beats and meaningful words.
Grab your earphones and get acquainted with the ones we’ve mentioned. Why not impress your new beginner’s Spanish teacher with some quality verbs and phrases learnt from the lyrics? They will love it!


Beck: 'We're Not A Bunch Of Crazies'
Despite his belief that America is just the "stink on the crap pile" and a nation that is doomed to collapse, Glenn Beck has been on one of his optimistic upswings in recent weeks, mainly because God has massive miracles in store for his network that will bring him success beyond his wildest imagination.
And that was the message he delivered once again on his radio broadcast today, telling his audience that there is something really important taking place right now that he cannot exactly put his finger on, but "it gives me great and profound hope" because his audience of Tea Party activists cannot be dismissed as a "bunch of crazies" any more.
"You're not dismissed any more," Beck told his listening audience. "We used to be a bunch of crazies; we're not a bunch of crazies. We're a very powerful force and only getting stronger":

|The first time Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru saw Kathakali, a
staging of Nalacharitham kathakali, in 1955, there were times during the
performance when he couldn’t resist clapping his hands with joy.
Watching the show with him were diplomat- politician VK Krishna Menon
and freedom fighter- physician Dr. BC Roy. It was the first time such a
show, a Kathakali festival, was put up in New Delhi.
(‘A Kathakali fact about FACT’ by Shilpa Nair Anand, The Hindu Friday Review, Aug 11, 2018)
|In the early part of the 19th century, Nicki was easily the most
celebrated nautch girl of Calcutta. She figures in numerous
contemporary accounts of nautch parties to which the sahibs and
memsahibs were invited. The great babus of Calcutta vied with one
another to hire Nicki for their functions and festivities. She was known
to be quite wealthy and charged a thousand rupees for a single
performance. A contemporary admirer of Nicki was Lady Nugent, wife of
the Commander-in-Chief. She was greatly impressed with her performance
and by her dazzling gold and silver embroidered costume and glittering
ornaments studded with diamonds, pearls and emeralds.

You all know how much I love my furry kids. They are such a sweet spot in my day, all day. In addition to spoiling them rotten we also take special care to make sure they stay healthy. Part of that includes dental care. Now if you have dogs you know it can be a bit of trail to get them to sit and let you brush their teeth. Thankfully there is a way to do it that everyone will love.
Milk-Bone Brushing Chews gives you a super way to care for their teeth and treat them at the same time! With these your dog can brush his own teeth every day just like you do! In fact when fed daily, Milk-Bone® Brushing Chews are clinically proven to be as effective as brushing your dog’s teeth twice per week based on the reduction of tartar build-up and bad breath. That’s pretty sweet that I won’t have to fight with them to brush their teeth anymore.
Milk-Bone Brushing Chews have a specially designed 75 degree twist that helps the brushing nubs, which are on them, to reach down to the gum line, and they even clean hard-to-reach back teeth. These little chews are so effective that they have earned the trusted Veterinary Oral Health Council’s (VOHC) Seal of Acceptance, similar to the American Dental Association (ADA) seal seen on human dental products. Isn't that awesome?
Of course what is most important to me is that my dogs loved them. As far as chews go, they have a great lasting time, even with Cleo, who as you know, likes to eat her treats without chewing them first. It was nice to see her sit down and take her time with something. Plus, it had the added benefit of helping their teeth so it was really an all win type of treat.
What was really telling was that after the first day they knew what they were getting and my little Lady loved hers so much that she actually sat off to the side guarding her prize trying to make sure that none of my other, faster to finish, dogs took it from her. Of all four dogs it was really hard to tell who enjoyed them the most and that really makes me happy.

The FTSE 100 consolidated its gains on Friday afternoon as the much-awaited EU summit to discuss a rescue package kicked off.
Sentiment was broadly mixed across the major markets as uncertainty of second lockdowns in some cities weighed on the minds of traders during a largely quiet session.
London’s top flight closed 39.61 points higher at 6,290.3p at the end of trading on Friday.
David Madden, market analyst at CMC Market UK said: “It was a quiet trading session as the much-awaited EU summit to discuss the rescue fund began.
“The eurozone was already lagging behind the UK and the US in terms of economic health before the pandemic stuck, so if action isn’t taken quickly, that is likely to add to its problems.”
The major European markets were mixed as a result, with the French Cac 40 taking a tumble and the German Dax increasing by 0.41%.
Across the Atlantic, the Dow Jones was largely flat, while the S&P 500 dipped as it was impacted by recent negativity regarding tech stocks.
Meanwhile, sterling fell as Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, cautioned about an uneven recovery in the UK economy.
The pound fell 0.07% versus the US dollar at 1.254 and was down 0.52% against the euro at 1.097.
Multinational pharmaceutical firms pushed higher as they continued to see their share value strengthen during the health crisis, with AstraZeneca, Hikma and GlaxoSmithKline all rising.
In company news, Rio Tinto saw shares close in the green despite the commodities giant reporting a 3% drop in the amount of copper it managed to dig out of the ground in the second quarter of the financial year.
Chief executive Jean-Sebastien Jacques said the company delivered a “strong performance” in the second quarter despite the impact of the virus. Shares closed 118p higher at 4,941p as a result.
Elsewhere, British Airways owner IAG slipped after its UK-based airliner said it has retired its fleet of Boeing 747s with immediate effect.
BA was planning to ground its fleet of 31 jumbo jets in 2024 but the end has been hastened by coronavirus. Shares in the parent firm slid by 5.2p to 218.9p at the close of play.
HomeServe saw shares rise after it said customers have continued to renew their policies as normal despite the pandemic ripping large chunks out of many other businesses.
The house repairs business closed 47p higher at 1,350p after it said its membership business performed in line with usual trading patterns during the period April to mid-July.
Engineering parts firm Renishaw surged 450p higher to 4,880p after it raised its annual revenue forecast.
The price of oil drifted slightly lower as the negative sentiment from Thursday continued to linger.
The price of a barrel of Brent crude oil decreased by 0.18 to 43.2 US dollars.
The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Fresnillo, up 47.5p at 1,091.5p, AstraZeneca, up 343p at 9,187p, Homeserve, up 47p at 1,350p, and BHP, up 50p at 1,799.4p.
The biggest fallers of the day were WPP, down 16p at 608.2p, ITV, down 1.68p at 66.82p, IAG, down 5.2p at 218.9p, and Barclays, down 2.18p at 116.4p.

In the worst kept secret for close to a month, top-rated point guard Trevon Duval has committed to Duke.
Still in search of a point guard for next season, I can’t think of many 2017 prospects the staff has pursued more primed for the job than Patrick School (N.J.) floor general Jordan Walker.
All signs point to top-ranked recruit Trevon Duval imminently committing to Duke. Seton Hall fans should prepare for the off-season — and the 2017-18 season — accordingly.
Following a dismal 7-23 season at South Florida, 6-4 graduate transfer guard Geno Thorpe will visit Pittsburgh and then Seton Hall in the coming weeks.
Five schools remain — still — for top-ranked point guard Trevon Duval. I’ve taken a stab at dissecting all five destinations to project how the next few weeks may play out in his recruitment.

Taylor Swift Wins Big At Billboard Music Awards
It was a big night filled with big drama at the Billboard Music Awards, Taylor Swift took home eight awards while Justin Bieber was booed by the crowd. INSIDE EDITION has the scoop.
Taylor Swift cleaned up big time at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards.
The pop star took home eight awards, including Artist of the Year. She even poked fun at her roller coaster love life, telling her fans, "You are the longest and best relationship I've ever had."
She kicked the night off with a bang with her performance of her song, "22."
Justin Bieber won Billboard's first Milestone Artist of the Year award but got a chorus of boos during his acceptance speech.
He said, "I am an artist and should be taken seriously. This bull has got to stop."
The Biebs didn't get much respect behind the scenes either. After he and on-again-off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez were caught sharing a smooch backstage, Taylor Swift, Selena's close pal, stuck her tongue out.
And Swift had this to say when asked about 19-year-old Bieber's milestone award.
She said, "Can we have another question please?"
There were plenty of other jaw-dropping moments. Two young fans in the audience pit were injured when R&B crooner Miguel landed on them. Miguel came down on one young fan's head and he accidentally kicked the other young woman in the head, hard. You can see her crumbling to the floor before being picked up.
Whoopi Goldberg on The View said, "It is a live show. You have to keep going."
Miguel tweeted, "Got caught up in the moment, thank goodness [they're] okay." a photo of Miguel and one fan laughing backstage was posted on Tumblr.
Other stars sizzled at the Vegas show. Jennifer Lopez was a stunning lady in red in her sexy showgirl outfit. Christina Aguilera looked back to her old self after dropping the pounds. Just look at the difference from just a few months ago.
And what can you say about Madonna?
On the Today show, Hoda Kotb said, "She wasn't wearing pants during her acceptance speech."
At age 54, she's still got it.

An officer noticed a suspicious-looking vehicle in the parking lot of Stallings Oil Company on U.S. Highway 301 South around 1 a.m., police said. The driver sped away, and officers followed him.
Police said the driver – identified as Alphonso Moore, 39 – pulled around a house at 518 Dexter St., then backed out onto the street, nearly running over some officers. Police fired, striking Moore and his vehicle.
Moore drove away again, and his vehicle crashed into a tree at 649 Raleigh Road, police said. He tried to run but was quickly caught by officers.
Moore suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to Nash General Hospital.
Once released from the hospital, he will be charged with attempted assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, damage to property and multiple traffic offenses.
The officers, whose names haven't been released, were placed on administrative assignment, and the State Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the shooting. Those steps follow standard procedure for officer-involved shootings.

How to Care for Topiaries. Topiary is the art of shaping plants, by careful pruning, into fanciful shapes or forms. Topiary plants are usually grown in containers and require constant shaping. Here is a simple guide for topiary care.
Keep the soil moist on most topiary plants. Ivy, boxwood and evergreens will turn brown on the edges of the leaves if allowed to dry out between watering.
Prevent the pot from sitting in water. Standing water in the saucer will cause root rot. Fill the saucer with gravel to keep the roots up, out of direct contact with water.
Fertilize during the growing season. Avoid overfertilizing topiary plants, because you want to prevent excessive growth. A slow release fertilizer applied in the spring is all that most topiary plants require.
Keep stray branches and vines tucked inside the form.
Train vines back onto the support frame. You may need to tie woody vining plants onto the form with twist ties.
Prune long or rapid growth back to the main body of the topiary with bypass pruners. Pruning promotes bushy growth, which will fill out a topiary and make it appear lush.

ASSESSING THE MECHANISMS OF ATRAZINE TOLERANCE OF LOLIUM MULTIFLORUM: A PHYTOREMEDIATION APPROACH
MERINI, L.J.; BOBILLO , C.; CUADRADO,V.; GIULIETTI A.

Congreso; XLIV Reunión Anual de la Sociedad Argentina de Investigación en Bioquímica y Biología Molecular; 2008
ASSESSING THE MECHANISMS OF ATRAZINE TOLERANCE OF LOLIUM MULTIFLORUM: A PHYTOREMEDIATION APPROACH Merini|||LM1; Bobillo|||MC2; Cuadrado|||V1; Giulietti|||AM1 1Microbiología Industrial y Biotecnología 2Servicio de Huellas Digitales Genéticas - FFyB-UBA E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org As a new technology, phytoremediation is a low cost, environmental friendly biotechnological solution for atrazine (ATZ) pollution. Hence, the finding of ATZ tolerant plants and elucidation of the mechanisms involved in tolerance are crucial for designing remediation projects. Due to its agronomical properties and physiology, Lolium multiflorum (ryegrass) is one of the main candidates. The objective of this work is to assess the ATZ tolerance of ryegrass and the mechanisms involved in the process. Thus, ryegrass ATZ tolerance was assessed in MS agar medium with increasing herbicide levels. Then, the mechanisms involved in ATZ tolerance such as mutation psbA gene, enhanced enzymatic detoxification via P450 or chemical hydrolysis by benzoxazinones (Bx) were evaluated. Mutation in the psbA gene, encoding the ATZ target site D1 protein was evaluated by sequencing. The enzymatic detoxification was assessed in hydroponics cultures, exposing plants to ATZ and 1-aminobenzotriazole (P450 inhibitor). For Bx, the hydrolytic capacity of plant extracts on ATZ was tested. L. multiflorum was found as new tolerant specie, able to grow in presence of 1 mg Kg-1 of ATZ. The sequence for psbA gene was registered on GenBank. Atrazine tolerance is conferred in this specie by enzymatic detoxification via P450. Ryegrass is an excellent option for phytoremediation of agricultural ATZ contaminated soils

Animals are living creatures that have feelings just like a human being. Animals are not like us on the physical part, but that doesn’t mean that we have the right to kill, hurt or even experiment with them. If you ever had a pet or knew someone related to you who had a pet, they’d probably always be talking about how kind, sweet, beautiful, and lovely their animals are. Animal are even used to test products such as Shampoos, perfumes and cosmetics. Those products aren’t like the ones we use, they have different types of chemicals and they try them on the animals to see if it will affect us.
Amur Leopard is critically endangered because it’s hunted illegally for its beautiful fur. Their population is estimated to be about sixty individuals, they live about ten to fifteen years in the wild and twenty in captivity. People are trying to save the animal from extinction by monitoring populations, protecting their habitats, and trying to stop poaching and trade. Javan rhinos are critically endangered because of genetic diversity, natural disasters, invasive spaces, and diseases. They are only found in one protected area and there are about sixty of them left.
They never feared of loosing their homes but now so many of them already lost their homes due to deforestation. Habitat destruction is a huge problem and if we don 't put a stop to it now we will kill off some of the greatest species. An example of a species that is endangered from deforestation is the tiger and mountain gorilla. No one would have ever though that these two would be endangered of extinction but now it is huge problem. The list of endangered animals in the Amazon forest goes on and on.
One example is that some animals can get a disease called zoochosis and it is shocking what zoos will do when trying to hide it. For instance, “As Dr Keith Lindsay, a biologist with more than 30 years of experience in elephant research and conservation, has said, these are symptoms of “pathological, stereotypical behaviour that is common with disturbed animals in captivity, but which is never seen in the wild”. There are also cases of animals being given antidepressants to hide their unhappiness from visitors. In 2015 Auckland Zoo euthanised a gibbon, Iwani, because he was “severely depressed” and the zoo admitted they could not meet his welfare needs.”(An unnatural environment)This is significant because it shows that when zoos commit wrongs and take problems into their own hands it most often ends up worse.The amount of aquarium animals especially that have behavioral defects is very large and so are the consequences A study made by Captive Animals Protection Society proved that animals living in the water also suffer from this mental detrimention. This study also shows that 90% of the animals in the zoo have gotten this illness.
Hunting has a deeper meaning to some people and to take that away from them is in some ways inhumane. In addition, the detrimental wildlife issues that would emerge if hunting were no longer an option to keep animal populations under control would increase significantly. The idea of keeping hunting alive is crucial to keep our wildlife safe. Hunting may not apply to all people in the world, but it has to be done. In today’s world there is no other possible way to manage our wildlife in such an effective manner as we do it now.
It is known as one of the biggest red targets for animal activists and people that believe it is animals cruelty. Part of this criticism comes from the documentary “Blackfish”, which basically made revenue drop dramatically. According to an article by Binder, “The film is not fully accurate, and it portrays events that happened 30 years ago as contemporary. “The unfortunate thing is that people are taking that film at face value.” Most people now a days believe anything they see on TV. They take things and just believe it without knowing the truth or doing any research to support the claim.
This fact is horrible because they killing people out of frustration and boredom. Park trainers say that claps dorsal fin is normal for a male whales in captivity. This fact is false their fins calps because they 're not traveling far there in
If people realize the wrongness of infliction on animal, so infliction on animal is prima facie impermissible. (Marquis, 1987). Kant and Hence have the arguments that people do not have the duty for considering animal, but their theory is hard to explain is that possible for men would do harm on people because of hurting animal or some people do not inflict animals so that they will not do it on human. The alternative arguments on wrongness of the wanton infliction which considers more on the reader or some people themselves in the situation which the animals may face, so this is plausible. The wrongness of infliction on animals is approved, and the structure to prove this argument is similar with considering the lost of future on adult or young children for abortion, so the arguments which states that abortion is impermissible is powered by the analyze of why infliction of animal is wrong.
Animal rights activists argue that it is inhumane to house animals in inadequate habitats and are upset that many species that aren’t considered endangered are being held in zoos around the world. Zoo advocates argue for the conservation and research of endangered species, and thoroughly work to benefit different species and keep them healthy. Both arguments base their reasoning off of varying ideas, animals rights activists address the physical downfalls of animals in captivity, how it is nearly impossible to perfectly recreate an animals natural habitat, and the abuse of animals in captivity. Zoo advocates argue that the conservation and research of endangered species is necessary to keep them from extinction, they fight for humane treatment of animals around the world and work hard to show the real problem in today’s environment. Endearing Emotions As you can imagine, stories of animal abuse and the destruction of natural habitats around the world cultivate a strong emotional foundation that drives many people’s
This definitely helped a lot, but still doesn’t fix the problem with predators. Predators are like robbers of their prey’s life. Once one is caught, predators never let go. While some may argue that being in a zoo will affect an animal’s hunting skills, it’s not always the best plan to let endangered animals free in the wild. It stands to reason that society should continue keeping our animals safe from danger in

Vivacious, captivating, vibrant, and enthusiastic are just a few words to describe Hyla Crane, Executive Director of the Marco Island Center for the Arts…but that’s only what is apparent outwardly. What many don’t realize is that beneath the surface is a serious, tenacious, hardworking woman with a deep concern that her non-profit work at the Center for the Arts continues to thrive.
“In 1969, a small group of artists formed what is now the Marco Island Center for the Arts. It was officially incorporated in April of 1970. As we approach the 50th anniversary in 2020, it’s important to reflect where we have been, what we are doing now, and most importantly, how do we make sure the Center for the Arts is here for the next 50 years and beyond. Today, we are stable financially, but now the hard work really comes in…getting us sustainable,” explained Crane.
In 2014, while the Center was experiencing some financial struggles, Hyla Crane began her role as Executive Director. Crane, a former attorney who specialized in real estate development and commercial litigation, has dedicated most of her professional career working in the non-profit arena. Prior to taking on her role at the Center for the Arts, Hyla was the Director of Education for Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk, Connecticut.
Hyla’s educational background includes a Bachelor Degree in Philosophy from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and a law degree from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia.
In her brief tenure at the Center for the Arts, the larger-than-life personality has gotten the Center on good footing by continuing to broaden and build the stakeholder base while delicately balancing creativity and innovation yet being fiscally conservative.
“It was important to become recognized as a meaningful community asset and build our programming in a way that there is something for everyone. We want to be the people’s art home; a place to gather, experience, learn, and become inspired. We are always mindful to keep it fresh, keep it exciting, and keep it interesting,” declared Crane. “And remember, it all starts at the Center for the Arts.”
Originally from Woodbridge, Connecticut, Hyla is married to Richard Crane and has two daughters, Eryn and Carsyn. She also has a beloved corgi, Tory and cat, Nova.
Visit the Center for the Arts and experience the latest exhibition, “By Virtue of Place: FSU MFA Alumni,” at the Second Tuesday exhibition reception on Tuesday, November 13 from 5:30 to 7 PM. The Marco Island Center for the Arts is located at 1010 Winterberry Drive.

Hint The noise level is shown on a logarithmic scale of decibels. Regular exposure to noise can occur in people who are irritable, nervous, and have difficulty making decisions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended this limit.
The baseline noise levels in the society changes around 40 dB. International standards suggest the highest of 50 dB for day and 40 dB during night time in a residential area. Noise over 115 dB can be considered as highly avoidable. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggestions an industrial noise limit of 75 dB.
The CPCB has established the permitted noise levels in India for different areas. The noise pollution rules have defined the acceptable noise level in different areas, day and night. In industrial areas, the authorized limit is 75 dB during the day and 70 dB at night.
In commercial areas, it is 65 dB and 55 dB, while in the community’s areas it is 55 dB and 45 dB respectively during the day and at night.
So the correct answer is 75dB.
Note: It has been shown to interfere with the normal development of speech and hearing in children, resulting in delayed developmental stages that affect their overall growth.
The problem is significant in urban areas of India and therefore it is important that the authorities redouble their efforts to control and regulate noise pollution in order to protect millions of people.
The approach proposed by the CPCB will surely work as a deterrent. However, there are other aspects that CPCB needs to understand, especially those related to mass awareness.

Alright! Here's something to do in-game that @Julie_Martin and I created.
Several teams of three will go into game and destroy fifty automatons. All members of the team have the same uniform and the exact same set of weapons. The team captain will record the number of stars on the prize dial as points for the team.
Average battles should yield three points. However, if a team mate dies, it's one point off. If you lose the battle, three points off. Winning boss battles such as Baron Sizzlepot and the Mega Drill are worth three extra points.
Here's an example of the teams to be created:
This is Lila's team, (official name still in progress)
The team captain is responsible for recording all battles and points. After the crusade is over, the team captain will post the team's score on this topic. The team with the highest score wins bragging rights.
After a round has been completed, anyone who wants to can switch teams or stop playing. Team captains can become members of other teams and let someone else lead their team if they so choose.
Rules of conduct:
Please be reasonable when it comes to team switching and assignments. If you wanted to be on a team with someone who is already in a different team, be a good sport until the round is over and then ask about being on the same team.
Go ahead and create a unique team or join an already existing one. Remember: Every team needs a uniform, a unique weapon set, and a name. Only three people per team!

The RPS (Retractable Propulsion System) and SPS (Saildrive Propulsion System) provide minimal resistance when under sail and during races. The systems have the following features:
- The systems are light weight
- CP Propeller
- Require minimum space inside the hull and engine room
- Can be posisitoned near the center of the vessel, for optimum weight distribution
- Highly efficient when motoring.
- Replace a normal stern propeller
The RPS system can swing up into the wet box in the hull. When the doors are closed there is no resistance when sailing. When down the doors close around the leg so the hull looks smooth. It is only the leg that protrudes from the hull. The wet box takes up app. 2m x 1m x 1m inside the hull.
The SPS system stays down but the propeller can go into feathering posisiton. This will give a little resistance when sailing but the resistance is far less than from a normal shaft, P bracket and propeller in sailing position. The SPS system takes up a lot less space in the engine room since there is no need for a wet box.
Power supply and layout
Both the RPS and SPS can be driven by an electrical motor or a combustion engine.
The RPS will always have the power in at a horisontal direction. The power unit can be aft of the RPS or on the side depending on how it is most convenient. If a combustion engine is used a clutch unit must be mounted on the engine. In the clutch unit it is possible to have 2 PTO/PTI. The PTI can used for regeneration.
The SPS can have an electrical motor mounted directly on top of the leg. This will take up as little space as possible in the engine room.
Both of the systems exsist in three different sizes. The sizes are called 286, 335 and 386. The numbers correspond to the diameter of the propeller hub and that correspond to the power.
- 286 goes up to approx. 400kW
- 335 goes up to approx. 540kW
- 386 goes up to approx. 660kW
The lower leg are similar on the RPS and the SPS.
The RPS can adjust the propeller pitch forward to astern. The SPS can adjust the propeller pitch fethering to astern.
When designing the system for the boat it is important to decide where the focus lies. Is the focus on motoring or on regenerating.
The propeller on a RPS/SPS can be positioned forward or astern. That is just a question of turning the leg 180 degress. If the focus is on having the best possible efficiency when motoring the propeller should be pointing forward when in motoring. If the focus is on regenerating the propeller should be pointing astern when motoring. The difference in efficiency is causted by the shadow from the propulsion leg.
When regenerating the propeller should always turn opposite of the motoring direction.
Regeneration is posssible on both of the systems. If a RPS is used for regeneration a hybrid clutch must be mounted on the input shaft of the clutch unit. A generator must be mounted on the PTO/PTI. The power will then come from the propeller into the clutch unit and out through the PTO/PTI. The size of the generator is limited due to the size of the PTO/PTI.
If a SPS is used for regenation the electrical motor/generator on the SPS is mounted directly on top of the leg it is then the size of the generator or the electronis parts connected to the generator that is the limit. On a conventionel propulsion system about 20% of the designed power take out can be regenerated. On a RPS/SPS about 27% can be regenerated due to the fact that the leg can be turned 180 degress. Turning the propeller blades the opposite way makes them about 30% more efficient than a standard positioned propeller when regenerating.
When motoring the systems work the same way. The leg can be used with the propeller pointing forward or astern. The leg is not intended to be used as a steering system. The leg should be in a fixed position when motoring.
When maneuvering the engine is in a fixed medium-range RPM and the lever only adjusts astern – ahead by changing the pitch of the propeller. The leg can now be turned sideways to work as a thruster. The thruster will be with the max. power from the engine/motor. The leg turns from ahead to sideways in less than 3 seconds. The leg can give propulsion in any direction when maneuvering. The boat will often be maneuvered without the use of a bow thruster.
The boat will be able to go sideways, sideways and astern, sideways and ahead or whater ever is needed.

Justin and Kate interviewed me about how, after 2 1/2 years in a wheelchair, I cured my arthritis naturally:
We spoke about leaky gut syndrome, fasting and the link between anger and inflammation. We discussed different kinds of arthritis and how their development is different.
We discussed various risk factors that can predispose people to arthritis and how history and childhood stress can shape how your body responds to threats.
Most importantly, we talked about what can be done to heal, despite all these risk factors, and what that healing journey looks like.

To date LDSMingle has brought thousands of singles together.
Join LDSMingle today and free yourself of LDS dances, singles conferences, and LDS singles wards.
It's been revealed that couples who meet through online dating are 25% less likely to seperate than couples who meet through more traditional means.
The study asked almost 20,000 people, all married, a series of questions about their relationship, to discover how happy they were.
You're two of Hollywood's brightest young things on the verge of possible superstardom. In fact, in a breathless scoop this afternoon, magazine claimed that Zendaya and Holland were a real life item.“They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man,” said People's source.
You're leads in one of the biggest movies of the summer and spent a whole lot of time together on set. “They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another.”“They’re both really ambitious and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up," added another.
What I think they mean is that they’re happy to remain overweight because it’s preferable to denying themselves lots of delicious food.
But if people could eat whatever they wanted without gaining weight, they’d do so in a heartbeat.
Soon, we were talking on the phone almost daily, and when a job transfer took me clear to the east coast, we kept talking. Because of the distance, we both almost gave up more than once. If your idea of LDS dating doesn't include ice-blocks or a scavenger hunt, this is the place for you.They have great banter back and forth.”The two young actors quickly took to Twitter to confirm that, yes, they do like to joke around and make each other crack up.However, they clarified that they aren't dating. I guess they'll remain more Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire than Garfield and Stone.As Sagittarians, we hold onto freedom like it is our lifeblood.Threaten to take it away, or even hint at the slightest bit of enforcing control over us, and we'll rebel, run away, instantly turn off all interest or worse.

The launch of the Mercedes-AMG Project One is edging ever closer following confirmation that track testing of the wild Formula 1-powered hypercar has started.
While speaking at the ongoing New York Auto Show, Mercedes AMG boss Tobias Moers said testing of the 1,000 hp hybrid powertrain has started at a number of race circuits and at the brand’s proving ground. He also said that the engineering work for the engine is being handled directly by the automaker’s F1 team in the UK.
The hypercar’s powertrain will start with the same 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol engine as the Mercedes F1 car. A number of modifications will be made to ensure it is reliable on the street but even still, Moers says it will rev to 11,000 rpm and deliver even more power than it does in the race car, Autocar reports.
As with the F1 racer, the Project One will also utilize both MGU-K and MGU-H recovery systems. The first converts mechanical and heat energy into electrical energy while the MGU-H system creates electrical energy from the heat of the exhaust.
According to Moers, “We will have four electric motors – one for each front wheel, one on the crankshaft and one on the engine turbocharger. We will use the same ‘perfomance’ battery cells as the F1 cars, which have advantages and limitations; but we will still be able to deliver 30km of EV range. And our target for kerb weight is 1300kg ‘DIN’.”

Portland, Maine based artist Sascha Braunig is a portrait painter of sorts. She uses traditional baroque portraiture techniques with a nod to Op art and a wink at Surrealism. Braunig’s figures seem to barely emerge out of a hypnotic (and nearly seizure inducing) patterned background. Her canvases are striped with colors that contrast so much they nearly appear to glow. The effect is hallucinatory and almost a bit haunting. The gallery statement from her current exhibit describe the various concepts at play saying:
” Braunig’s geometric figures have a visual fluidity, as if their delicate skins can barely contain their bodies. Subject and background merge, creating ambiguity and optical tension. An alliance is forced between flat patterned designs and observed, mimetic representation.”
Sascha Braunig is exhibiting her work through December 22 at Manhattan’s Foxy Production.
Radical ceramics, paintings and drawings by the talented Amy Gartrell. Do these images make anyone else think of 80’s super fresh flavor, complete with the crazy squiggly lines? Her show “Whatever and Ever” is on view at Daniel Reich Gallery in NYC until June 26th, so go check it out!
Hanna Putz is an artist out of Vienna who contorts and un-poses her models to make striking photographs of equally striking people. Her camera seems to mummify the models, and in their lifelessness they are incredibly compelling. ( via )
Notoriously awe-inspiring Japanese pop artist Keiichi Tanaami has featured some spectacular new works in his show Cherry Blossoms Falling In The Evening Gloom. Since 2010, Tanaami has focused his energy toward the creation of large scale paintings focusing on prominent elements of his childhood, living in wartime Japan. The comic-like characterization of bombs, Mickey Mouse, and war planes, spin together his chaotic dreamscapes, full of hypnotic colors, patterns, and a nearly mirage-like quality.
An excerpt from the exhibition, at Nanzuka Gallery in Tokyo, details the symbolic elements within his work:
“Glowing, grotesque creatures personify bombs and the light of their explosions. Beams of emanating light are the searchlights of Japanese troops keeping watch for American bomber planes. The skeletal monsters that appear in his works represent war casualties, and at the same time function as figures of us, ourselves, who know no fear. A recurring character based on a motif that comes from Tanaami’s wartime memory of goldfish also frequently appears in his works, and is deeply connected to the sight of the light from the American bombs reflecting off of the scales of the goldfish his grandfather kept. Pine trees, seemingly pregnant with animal-like life forms, are based on hallucinations Tanaami witnessed when he nearly died from a pulmonary edema at age.” (Excerpt from Source)
I’ve been a fan of Stefan Ruiz’s work for a while, I collected most of the issues of COLORS magazine he worked on several years ago. He documents people, places, and objects from around the world that are both strange and familiar. I especially love his portraits; he conveys so much personality and narrative in such concise elegant images.
The pollution crisis in China is reaching an all time high. With over 500,000 people dying each year from diseases related to the air quality, it’s a time for action. A company in China called Xiao Zhu has decided to educate the public on just how serious the matter is. They have literally shone a light on the culprits – by projecting images of crying children’s faces onto the guilty factories’ billowing towers of smoke and pollution. As most of the victims of air pollution are children, this artistic protest has a hard hitting message. Stop now, or the future generations will continue to suffer.
The faces themselves are quite hard to stomach. Twisted and contorted faces fade in and out of the smoke clouds. Young boys are covering their mouths with masks trying to breathe without pain. It is an emotionally charged subject, and the company normally responsible for selling air filters have tapped into the drama of the situation. Their creative approach to such a huge environmental problem is working – people are noticing and spreading the word.
Xiao Zhu write this statement to accompany their video on Youtube:
We decided to put a spotlight on air pollution’s biggest culprits—the factories—by using the actual pollution from the factories as a medium…. Clean the air, let the future breathe again. (Source)
Not only is this a message for the whole nation, and world, but most specifically for the industry that is causing the damage. And I’m sure they won’t be able to avoid looking up at their own factories and see the mess they are creating. (Via The Creator’s Project)

Protests in Bolivia against sex crimes perpetrated by priests
Hundreds demonstrated Thursday in Bolivia's three main cities against sex crimes perpetrated by Catholic priests against children, after recent revelations in cases dating back decades.< /strong>
Protests took place in the evening in the cities of La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, the most populous in the country, with cries of “justice, justice”.
“We will be hell for pedophiles,” proclaimed a sign in Cochabamba. “No, no, no, no I don't want to forgive rapists just because they wear a cassock,” chanted protesters in La Paz.
The Spanish newspaper “El Pais” had revealed at the end of April that the late priest Alfonso Pedrajas allegedly abused more than 80 minors in Bolivia from the beginning of the 1970s. The daily had access to the diary in digital form of the dead Spaniard in Bolivia in 2009, at the age of 66. In it, the Jesuit priest says “having hurt many people, too many” people, he writes. He also says he was protected by his superiors.
The priest had settled in the country in the early 1970s, working in several schools until a few months before his death. He allegedly committed most of his abuse at John XXIII School in Cochabamba. This boarding school welcomed children from disadvantaged backgrounds and rural areas.
Following these revelations, at least nine complaints were filed in Bolivia for acts perpetrated by priests, including Mr. Pedrajas and four other Spanish religious, Luis Maria Roma, Alejandro Mestre, Antonio Gausset and Jorge Vila Despujol, all of whom are now deceased.
The Secretary General of the Episcopal Conference of Bolivia (CEB), Giovani Arana, admitted Wednesday in a statement that the victims had “found a Church that remained deaf to their suffering,” instead of “giving them the protection and care they deserved.”
