Human and Labor Rights Must Be Protected before Mexican Government Given Blank Check to Allegedly Fight Drug War
November 13th, 2007: PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–News from USW: The United Steelworkers union announced today that it opposes handing Mexico what amounts to a blank check for $500 million for border enforcement of drug trafficking because it’s likely the American tax dollars will instead end up further undermining human and labor rights in Mexico.
USW International President Leo W. Gerard notified the chairmen of Congressional committees and subcommittees handling the Bush Administration’s request for the money that, at the very least, hearings should be conducted before votes are taken so human rights activists and trade unionists may testify to the violations that have occurred under the administration of Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his predecessor.

“The consumer boycott is the only open door in the dark corridor of nothingness down which farmworkers have had to walk for many years. It is a gate of hope through which they expect to find the sunlight of a better life for themselves and their families” (Cesar Chavez)
On March 8, after nearly four years of struggle and amidst the momentum of the 2005 Taco Bell Truth Tour, farmworkers from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) scored a decisive victory in their national boycott of Taco Bell. Caving under the weight of an intense grassroots campaign, the fast-food giant has agreed to work with the Florida-based farmworker organization to improve the wages and working conditions of farmworkers in the Florida tomato industry by paying a penny-per-pound surcharge demanded by the workers. The farmworkers’ sub-poverty wages have been stagnant and declining in real terms since 1978.

January 28th, at 3:00pm, at the [Student] Union Board meeting a resolution regarding Taco Bell will be introduced. This resolution calls for the support of the Union Board in the removal of Taco Bell from UT campus. Students are asking for support at the meeting to demonstrate a strong opposition to Taco Bell’s presence on campus. The meeting will be held at the Board of Directors Room in the Texas Union.

GEDDES, N.Y. - It’s Women’s Day at the fair. Not only do females 13 to 59 years old get in for $1, they are invited to attend the annual Women’s Day Luncheon. The event starts at noon in Daniella’s Events and Catering Steakhouse (the Empire Room).
Senior Citizens’ Day is still going on, so those 60 and over get in free.
It’s also Comic Con Day, so anyone wearing a costume gets in for $1. College students can just go as themselves and get in for $1.

Kartik Aaryan’s love life has been the talk of the town for a lot of time now. The actor is always hitting the headlines for his rumoured relationships with the leading ladies of his films. He has been linked with several of his co-stars including Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday. When the star was shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s Aaj Kal, he was rumoured to be dating Sara Ali Khan and also went to great lengths to surprise her on her birthday. However, it ended later and he has now been linked to Pati Patni Aur Woh co-star Ananya Panday. On Kareena Kapoor Khan’s radio show What Women Want, Kartik Aaryan was asked about his linkups, and Kartik has a hilarious answer.
In a recent episode, Kareena asked Kartik who he was dating, and Kartik replied that he himself doesn’t know what he is doing and that he goes on coffee dates, like normal people do. However, with every coffee date, the media changes his girlfriend. He said, “Main khud bhi abhi nahi jaanta ki main kya kar raha hoon life mein. Basically, main coffee pe jaata hoon, jaise aam taur pe log jaate hai. Toh har coffee pe media ke hisaab se change ho jaata hai… Coffee ki jagah meri girlfriend change ho jaati hai.” ALSO READ: Ananya Panday Reveals How She And Kartik Aaryan Handle Relationship Rumours
Kartik Aaryan also said, that sometimes his mom reads about his link-ups and tells him, “Beta, tu usko date kar raha hai.” He said he doesn’t know what is happening and why such things are being written.
On the work front, Kartik Aaryan will next be seen in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal sequel along with Sara Ali Khan. He will also be seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2.

Enrollment has declined for years in the South Kitsap School District and its officials do not expect the trend to end soon.
Sandy Rotella, SKSD’s chief financial operations officer, said she is preparing for a 2.5 percent enrollment decrease for the 2013-14 school year.
She attributes some of that to the outgoing, large senior class that is being replaced by a group of kindergartners. She said the district’s newest group of students numbers about 600, which is 200 less than the one that graduated earlier this month.
“It doesn’t mean the door’s open and everyone is leaving the district,” said Rotella, referring to enrollment decline.
The state uses a 10-month enrollment average — September to June — to calculate funding for public schools. Rotella said the state provides $5,116 per full-time equivalent (FTE) student. SKSD’s average for 2012-13 was 9,212.31, including Running Start students, which means it will receive more than $47.1 million in state funding.
SKSD, which retains Greene Gasaway Architects of Federal Way to project future attendance, projected the district would have 9,328 FTE students in 2012-13, which is a decrease of 79 from the previous school year. The difference between the projection and reality leaves the district with a shortfall of more than $590,000.
Greene Gasaway Architects principal Jeff Greene told the Independent in July that he makes his projections through analyzing enrollment figures through the last six years, birth rates in the area and through data provided by the Office of Financial Management.
Rotella said several factors, including adults having children later, have contributed to enrollment declines. Both Greene and Rotella have maintained that enrollment should begin to flatline before SKSD experiences growth again.
“There’s still a pattern that enrollment growth is going to increase slow and flat,” Rotella said.
She said two exceptions are Sidney Glen and Sunnyslope elementary schools, where district officials expect less than a 2.5 percent enrollment decline for the upcoming school year.
“Both of them have some new construction that has the potential to produce children that will attend schools,” Rotella said. “We were a little less conservative with them.”

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and partners have launched ‘new normal’ tour service on a special train.
TAT, the Thai Hotels Association and tourism-related operators invited representatives of embassies in Thailand and chambers of commerce of many countries to board the special train from the Hua Lamphong station in Bangkok to Hua Hin district of Prachuap Khiri Khan.
The guests traveled on special carriages where chefs from five-star hotels of the DusitThani Group served famous dishes of provinces as well as beverages all the way.
When the passengers arrived in Hua Hin, they released young blue crabs into the sea at the beach of KhaoTakiab community. They were young crabs earlier caught in fishing nets and kept at a local blue crab bank.
TAT PR director Nithee Seephrae said the special trip was aimed at promoting quality tours that could target tourists with high purchasing power after the COVID-19 crisis. Such trips were also suitable for young travelers, meeting participants and expatriates.
He expected such services to boost tourism late this year. (TNA)

This game is a totally unique concept. Which as far as we know has never been done before. It is a virtual slot machine game. That is activated by getting one or more of the lady holding the 'Virtual Slot' board symbols in any position on the reels.
When the game is activated the girl walks across the reels and leads you into a virtual slots casino. Where you have to choose between two virtual slot machines.
Option 1 Mini Super Slots Machine: If you select this slot machine you will almost certainly win some credits from the bonus round.
As you get 10 spins and it has a lot of winning combinations. Although the highest winning combination is credits. But also have a really big chance of winning nothing at all.

For the purpose, you must get a winning payline created by the 7 itself, and then five 7s will provide 1, coins. But wait until you hear what the star Scatter will yield.
For combinations of 3 to 5 Scatters, you will also get payouts. And with the 5 Scatters the amount won will be really amazing, 10, coins.

On Friday, Serum Institute of India said that it would receive $150 million in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the GAVI vaccines alliance to make 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses for India and other emerging economies as early as 2021.
The candidate vaccines, including those from AstraZeneca and Novavax, will be priced at $3 per dose and will be made available in 92 countries in GAVI’s COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC), the company said in a statement.
The Gates Foundation will provide the funds to GAVI, which will be used to support Serum Institute.
GAVI, backed by the Gates Foundation, is a public-private global health partnership with the goal of increasing access to immunization in poor countries.
It co-leads COVAX – a scheme designed to guarantee fast and equitable access globally to COVID-19 vaccines – along with the World Health Organization and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).
Gavi – COVAX
The COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) forms part of the COVAX Facility, a mechanism hosted by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, designed to guarantee rapid, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines for every country in the world.
“We are facing the most severe contraction of the economy since World War Two, and this crisis will have a terrible impact on the poorest and emerging economies,” said Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Chair of the Gavi Board.
“These countries will have limited resources to access future COVID-19 vaccines: it is our duty to support them. Without this support, the majority of the world’s population will continue to suffer from this disease even after we’ve developed a tool to tackle it. We now can stop this from happening,” she said in a statement released in Geneva.
The list of 92 AMC-eligible economies includes all economies with Gross National Income (GNI) per capita under USD 4,000 plus other World Bank International Development Association (IDA) eligible economies.
While close to USD 600 million has already been raised for the AMC, the “innovative financing mechanism” requires seed funding of USD 2 billion before the end of the year to secure and guarantee doses for the 92 AMC-eligible economies. India falls under the lower-middle income category.
A minimum of an additional USD 3.4 billion is estimated to be required to procure around one billion doses by the end of 2021.
“We now have the framework in place to ensure that every economy, particularly the poorest nations, don’t get left behind in the race for a COVID-19 vaccine,” said Dr Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
“This disease has spread at lightning speed across the globe, which means nobody is safe until everybody is safe. That’s why we now need support and vital funding to ensure that, once a safe, effective vaccine is ready, we can work on protecting the world and not just the lucky few.
Gavi will work with governments, international organizations, manufacturers, and civil society organizations to ensure doses get to those who need them,” Dr. Berkley said.
COVAX aims to deliver 2 billion doses of approved and effective COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2021.
India reported a record jump in daily coronavirus infections on Friday and became the third country in the world to surpass 2 million cases. It lags only in the United States and Brazil in the number of infections.

4. Are there different interpretations of Islam?
Carl Goldberg speaks widely on the subject of Islam and occasionally teaches it in adult education programs. Tonight he joins us to talk about what he knows about Islamism and the threat it poses to America, and how the Obama Administration and those that preceded it have made us dangerously vulnerable. What is the nature of the conflict over Israel?
Is the problem is "Islamism" or Islam, itself? Goldberg considers that is the crucial question of our age, and the survival of our civilization depends on getting the answer right.

President Obama told congressional leaders in a meeting Tuesday that he has the authority to launch broader attacks against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, downplaying the prospect of a Capitol Hill vote on his military plan ahead of his prime-time address to the nation Wednesday night.
Obama “told the leaders that he has the authority he needs to take action against [the Islamic State] in accordance with the mission he will lay out in his address tomorrow,” the White House said in a readout of the meeting that included Obama, Vice President Joe Biden; House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

The Value of Emily Dickinson is the first compact introduction to Dickinson to focus primarily on her poems and why they have held and continue to hold such significance for readers. It addresses the question of literary value in light of current controversies dividing scholars, including those surrounding the critical issue of whether her writings are best appreciated as visual works of manuscript art or as rhymed and metered poems intended for the inner ear. Mary Loeffelholz deftly incorporates Dickinson's distinctive biography and her historical, religious, and cultural contexts into close readings, tracing the evolution of Dickinson's style. This volume - which considers not only the complex history of Dickinson's poems in print, but also their future in digital formats - will be an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students seeking to better understand the importance of this seminal American poet.

COVID-19 is still spreading rapidly around the United States, and Bloomsburg University is no exception with the cumulative total of student cases being 355 as of Sept. 28. With all of the new procedures, there is some confusion among the people of Bloomsburg about the best way to tackle this virus.
Since many students have been tested, there have been many thoughts about the quarantining process.
“Honestly, quarantine as a whole was really boring but it gave me a chance to catch up on my school work and to help keep other people safe by staying home,” one student who was tested said.
The student health center has been working hard to get as many tests as possible done at the school, but with an overwhelming amount of students showing symptoms, it has been difficult.
“I tried to get a test [at the student health center] and it would have taken three days but Geisinger got me on the day I called,” an anonymous student said.
There has been a lot of controversy about how the university has been handling all of the cases. Other than the emails and videos about wearing a face mask, there are many people who believe that the school could have done more to prevent spreading.
“I have definitely felt frustrated speaking with students and parents on the phone while working at the Residence Life office because I empathize with their voiced concerns. I feel as though more formal training regarding procedures related to students in contact with COVID-19, quarantine and plans for class and activity conduct would have been beneficial earlier on in the semester,” a student Residence Life worker said.
In addition, this student worker also believes that Bloomsburg University could have been more productive in terms of trying to rid the campus of coronavirus.
“While I understand the uncertain times we are in together, I believe administrative decisions during the past summer to not reopen housing and in-person classes for the semester would have saved students and their families time, money and stress.”

Call me unevolved all you want but my favorite moments in videogames all involve bossing a situation: tossing a stun grenade and effortlessly KOing three guys in the aftermath, calmly headshotting a bad guy through the back window of his car as he drives away, or simply saving the galaxy for the third straight game in a series.
White Night is not that kind of game.
White Night is a traditional survival horror game. It’s you and some matches against a haunted house full of ghosts and any contact with them means death. You’ll not be headshotting anyone.
Right off the bat, the things that set White Night apart from most survival horror games are its art and narrative styles. 99% of the game is in a very dramatic high-contrast back and white color scheme. Black means shadows, darkness, and death; white is light and life. Narratively, White Night owes a lot to classic film noir from the golden age of Hollywood where the men are men and the women are accessories that lead men astray.
While the game’s art style is striking and attractive, I won’t say the same thing about its noir trappings, mostly because the dialogue isn’t what I would call “good.” The game is full of contrived faux noir lines like, “the pain swirled around me like a bunch of birds.” “Bunch of birds” is the dialogue equivalent of McDonald’s catering your party at the Governor’s mansion. That line happens early on and it’s sort of the game speaky low-point, but it lowers the bar for the rest of the game. After “bunch of birds,” literally anything else is better – kind of like how getting shot in your man area makes you forget that you also have a migraine headache.
The rest of its noir-ness, I could take or leave. At White Night’s heart, it’s just a game about a man ran off the road by a ghost, who drags himself to the nearest house for help and spends the rest of the night staving off death with matches and multipart “turn on the light” tasks. And should you manage to turn a light on while a ghost is present, you will permanently dispel it. Unfortunately this old house is just LOUSY with ghosts. You couldn’t swing a cat by its tail in this house without hitting multiple ghosts and you have to run from all of them. A lit match is no defense and should you run out of matches, you only have a limited amount of time to find some light before a ghost slaps you to death.
When you’re not running from ghosts and scrounging for matches, you’ll be creeping around from room to room slowly uncovering the mystery of the house’s former occupants, their identities, and the truth behind whatever tragedy happened there to leave the place super-haunted.
That part of the gameplay is handled via a sort of modern take on the old point-and-click adventure. As you move around, you are prompted to interact with objects. There are paintings to look at (so many paintings to look at), doors you can open (or more likely be told you can’t open because of your injured leg), and lots and lots of clutter that fleshes out the world. Your main goal should always be to turn on the light, or, if there’s a fireplace, build a fire. One of the game’s arbitrary rules is that you can’t interact with anything in the dark – at the very least you need a lit match. Sometimes, the game decides you need both hands to interact with the world so you have to put your match out, and that means finding an alternate – usually electrical – light source.
At times, White Night fulfilled me in a very old school way. Not only are many of the puzzles multiparters with sometimes obtuse solutions, the game is also fairly difficult. Autosaves are uncommon, and manual save points often must be activated by a nearby light source you have to turn on. Also, if you have a lit match, it’s extinguished. You can only carry 12 matches at a time. What do you do if it’s your last one? We don’t get that kind of unapologetic difficulty in games much anymore so White Night deserves credit for that and for building an atmospheric world with an interesting mystery that was entertaining to try and solve.
Having said that, however, I have to point out how frustrating the game could be. There often seems like no pattern to the ghosts and it is far too easy to simply stumble into one and die. Then maybe because you had to make a hard choice at the last save point due to low match count, you might lose a significant chunk of time. That chunk of time is artificially inflated by how slowly and awkwardly the protagonist moves. Sometimes, especially early on, it made me want to pull my hair out. Making movement even more hair-pulling is the way the camera constantly flips and twists and turns and how movement controls are relative to it. Left can become up, then left again, then down, then up again all in the space of 10 seconds. The game can be scary enough on its own without trapping you in such a camera-based nightmare vortex.
Ultimately, I feel like White Night was a positive experience. It could be frustrating at times, and don’t get me started on the dialogue; but it looked good, sounded good, contained some truly gorgeous musical numbers (if you’re into smoky-voiced lounge sirens), and played pleasingly old-school.
If you ignore the insipid faux-noir dialogue, you’ll find that White Night is a pleasing old-school survival horror gameplay experience with a sharp visual style and an intriguing story.

I've been gaming since the Atari 2600, and I'm old enough to have hip checked a dude way bigger than me off of the game I wanted to play at an actual arcade (remember those) while also being too young to be worried about getting my ass kicked. Aside from a short hiatus over the summer and fall of 2013, I've been with Gamingnexus.com since March 2011. While I might not be as tech savvy as some of our other staff-writers, I am the site's resident A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones expert, and self-proclaimed "master of all things Mass Effect." I may be in my 30's, but I'm not one of those "retro gamers." I feel strongly that gaming gets better every year. When I was a child daydreaming of the greatest toy ever, I was envisioning this generation's videogames, I just didn't know it at the time and never suspected I would live to seem them come into being.

Do you wake up in the morning ready to face the world and thankful for being given another day? Can you say that you are completely happy with everything that you do in this life and that you are living life to the fullest? If you can, then you are living a fulfilled life.
Living a life of fulfilment is what all of us desire to do yet so few have been able to do. Why do you think this is? It certainly seems to be an easy enough thing to do right?
No, not at all.
For so many of us, living life with purpose and with fulfilment is the most difficult thing we can imagine doing. Because we see it as such a difficult thing to do, we instead choose to live mediocre, 9 to 5 lives that require us to function in a trance-like state. We wake up each morning just to do it all over again.
Where in the world is the fulfilment in that?
When you live a fulfilled life, you live out of passion. You do what you are good at and you excel at it both monetarily and personally with very little effort. This happens because you are doing things that come natural to you and that you enjoy. Because you enjoy it, you devote time to it and do not see it as a tedious job. Instead, you do it from the heart, you put your 100% into it, and you love every single minute of it.
Now, you might be asking yourself, what can I do to live a life of fulfilment? What is the first step?
Well, the very first step is getting to know yourself… your values, your beliefs, and your goals.

Residents in Ville Platte and other communities in north Acadiana are waking up to flooded streets thanks to heavy downpours related to Barry.
On Monday, July 15 heavy rains battered the northern portions of Acadiana as Barry, now a tropical depression, continued to move out of Louisiana. Rain bands continued to stream in from the Gulf bringing strong winds and heavy rains.
Flash Flood warnings were issued for Evangeline and other Acadiana parishes early on Monday morning. A tornado warning was also issued for Avoyelles Parish.
The Evangeline Parish 911/OEP is alerting residents to flooding in the parish. Officials say that motorists should avoid driving on Hwy 106 between Hwy 167 and I-49. Roads in Ville Platte are also flooded and drivers are advised to avoid LaSalle Street and Main Street.
Here's Daniel's latest Facebook live about the weather:
For the Latest weather forecast: Barry's last stand produces flooding in Acadiana
Ville Platte residents shared photos of the flooding with KATC via social media. Some residents even reported flooding in some homes in the city. KATC's Abby Breidenbach was LIVE in Ville Platte Monday morning with more on the weather conditions.
Homes along the Bayou in Morrow and Big Cane in St. Landry Parish have also reportedly started taking on water following this morning's heavy rains.

Across the broad blue sky
they fly. Where bluebirds
make their escape.
in covered corners of fallen feathers
only to seek a sample of saving grace,
if the journey ends in a shattered nest,
why fly at all?
If the journey ends in a shattered nest,
why sing your song?
Breathe in the thickness once again
Blow the dust from your feathers,
shake the rust from your heart.
May a new melody drench you,
may it b r e a k o p e n your wings
For it's time, little bluebird;
it's time you're free


text: My Flag consists of three horizontal red, black and blue bands separated by two thin white fimbriations. I have chosen the red and blue to represent our history, with the blue representing our ties with the commonwealth (alternatively the sea) and the red signifying the honour and courage displayed in battle not only overseas but on our own soil also. The red, black and white together may also represent Maori heritage. The black band with the silver fern in the centre represents our strong new sense of national identity, and our willingness to overcome the troubles which are presented to us. The white bands represent the peace and purity which we hope to preserve in our nation. In my opinion, this flag sums up what we, as New Zealanders stand for. It displays our determination, as a young and emerging nation, to succeed, while also acknowledging our history. It is a simple yet bold design. I have used Dave Clarks fern design as it is well associated with our most iconic sports team, the All Blacks.

Back to: AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE JSS 1
Welcome to class!
In today’s class, we will be talking about the branches of agriculture. Enjoy the class!
BRANCHES OF AGRICULTURE
The following are the branches of agriculture;
- Animal husbandry
- Fishery science
- Agricultural Engineering
- Home science
I will be breaking it down for more explanation;
Deals with the production of various crops, which includes food crops, fodder crops, fibre crops, sugar, oilseeds, etc. The aim is to have better food production and how to control diseases.
Horticulture deals with the production of fruits, vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants, spices, condiments and beverages.
It deals with the production of large-scale cultivation of perennial trees for supplying wood, timber, rubber, etc. and raw materials for industries.
It deals with the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock in order to provide food for humans and to provide power (draught) and manure for crops.
Deals with the practice of breeding and rearing fishes including marine and inland fishes, shrimps, prawns etc. in order to provide food, feed and manure.
Deals with farm machinery for filed preparation, inter-cultivation, harvesting and post-harvest processing including soil and water conservation engineering and bio-energy.
Deals with application and utilization of agricultural produce in a better manner in order to provide nutritional security, including value addition and food preparation. On integration, all the seven branches, first three is grouped as for crop production group and next two animal management and last two-allied agriculture branches.
In our next class, we will be talking about Crop Plant Form. We hope you enjoyed the class.

Matt Cardona will be sidelined with a torn biceps after he worked a match at GCW Downward Spiral this past Saturday night.
He suffered the injury while wrestling Blake Christian. After the match, he noted that he thought he had hurt his arm while he was attempting to catch a diving Christian.

What is Screen Guild Awards?
The Screen Actors Guild is a American labour union that reflects actors in media across the globe. It was established in 1933 in a bid to get rid of manipulation of Hollywood celebrities that were forced into pre-existing contracts with major movie studios – several of which were famous for dictating the private and public lives of actors. The SAG Awards are held since 1995 and is frequently regarded as a sign of success in the Academy Awards, therefore if those nominations are not anything to go by; perhaps the Brits will have a little bit of luck on their side come Oscars season.
Emily Blunt Nominations Guild Awards
Emily Blunt is up for 2 prizes at next month’s Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards, the nominations for that have just been declared. The British star is around for the guild’s best movie actor prize for Mary Poppins Returns, which will be with its European premiere afterwards in London. She has also to get a supporting actor award for terror movie A Quiet location, that husband John Krasinski guided. Christian Bale and Olivia Colman are one of the additional British nominees. The prior is famous for his position as former US vice president Dick Cheney from the political satire vice. Hugh Grant, Joseph Fiennes and Sir Anthony Hopkins are one of the British abilities in contention for the guild’s awards. Stone also receives another nomination here for Netflix collection Maniac, while Krasinski gets his very own nod for behaving in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are both nominated for their behaving in A Star is born, which can be up for excellent performance by a throw. Black Panther, Black Klansman, Bohemian Rhapsody and Crazy Rich Asians will also be nominated for the SAG equal to a best film award.


Even if you reside in a very peaceful community you cant ever be too sure of your security. With the sort of world we reside in nowadays anyone could be a prospective crime target. It is really important to defend yourself because folks might not always be around to help you.
One practical approach is to bring a small stun gun. With its size you could constantly bring it together with you by putting it inside the pocket of your pants. Usually the most powerful stun guns are the ones that are deceiving in that way.
The Runt stun gun for instance is a small one that can offer high volts of electric shock onto any person it comes in contact with. Although a stun gun is a non-lethal weapon it can incapacitate your targets body momentarily allowing you to escape and look for assistance.
No person would suspect that you are carrying such a gadget much less a bad guy who could take you by surprise. With a small stun gun you can do the surprising yourself and disable him in the process. The most powerful stun guns dont have to be big. They just need to remain hidden and make it appear that you are unarmed.
Keep in mind that the goal is for you to defend yourself and not injure anybody. That is precisely why a stun gun is the perfect personal safety device. It provides a good degree of personal defense without causing physical harm to other folks.
There are various standards on exactly what characteristics the most powerful stun guns should have got. It all boils down to practicality. Would you choose to bring a large unit along with you? You might be staring at death in the face before you might even lift it.
Size is an advantage when it comes to stun guns. The more compact they are the better. Know how to handle them properly so you do not fumble awkwardly if faced with adversity.
The most powerful stun guns arent the obvious weapons. This is precisely what makes them helpful and extremely effective.

Kanye West Updates ‘TLOP’, Promises 3 Albums A Year
14 March 2016, 09:56 | Updated: 14 March 2016, 11:53
Ye' claims he will increase his work rate.
Following claims that he was still finishing his latest album ‘The Life Of Pablo’, Kanye West has updated a song from the project.
Yeezy has made some subtle changes to controversial song ‘Famous’, in which he offended Taylor Swift.
According to Pitchfork, the lyrics “she be Puerto Rican day parade waving” have been changed to “she in school to be a real estate agent”, in addition to extra production.
Stream the new version of 'Famous' via TIDAL.
Meanwhile, the rapper has also promised to release three albums a year from now on.
Ye’ made the surprising announcement via his favourite social media platform.
No more fashion calendar... I'm going Mad Max... 6 collections a year...3 albums a year— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) 12 March 2016
This marks a big shift in his previous releases, with Kanye previously never releasing more than one solo album a year.
Kanye West will follow-up ‘The Life Of Pablo’ with a new album this summer called ‘Turbo Grafx 16'.

Russia does not allow free or open speech, so protesting is nearly impossible. However, some residents are willing to pay the consequence to have a voice for the voiceless stray dogs.
Russian cities are culling stray dogs by poisoning them in preparation for the World Cup tournament. Sochi was a devastating disaster in 2014, when it hosted the Olympics, and animal activists are doing everything they can to make sure history does not repeat itself.
A video shows Russian residents protesting in the city center in front of the countdown display for the World Cup. People that protest can be detained by police, but some still prevail. Signs are made stating the countdown is a death clock, and to stop killing the stray dogs.
One woman has gone above and beyond by rescuing 400 dogs from the streets of Moscow. Elena Kalyuzhina, founder of Bertha Rescue, has taken in dogs with all sorts of illnesses and issues to protect them from being killed on the street. Hope For Dogs reached out to her to help tell her story. They made a video about her rescue dogs, and to show that people around the world are trying to help save the strays.
Kalyuzhina hopes to have some of the 400 dogs adopted, and to have more locals volunteer. She, along with 2 volunteers, care and feed all the dogs. There is no running water or electricity in the shelters, so water must be carried out to the dogs. She would love to have more shelters, so she could separate the dogs and give them the space they need.
Russia needs to find another solution that does not involve killing the strays. Other countries, like Ukraine, have established CNR programs that work, and save the lives of dogs. The dogs are tagged on their ear so that people know the dog has been vaccinated and neutered. Unfortunately multiple, if not all, the cities that are scheduled to host the World Cup are culling stray dogs or planning on it.
Watch the video below about Bertha Rescue in Russia.
There is a more humane solution. You can help by signing and sharing the petition below. Together we can make a difference!

In a large bowl, mix breadcrumbs and the milk/water. Stir to moisten. Add the remaining stuffing ingredients and mix well.
Lay a slice of prosciutto on the top of each steak. Place about 1/4 cup of the stuffing on top. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the garlic and let the oil heat until it begins to shimmer.
Brown meat rolls on all sides; remove from pan.
Add the butter to the same pan, let it melt and then add the chopped mushrooms. Salute for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour on mushrooms and whisk to combine so there are no lumps. Slowly add the wine, whisking to make sure there’s no lumps and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the stock and the tomato paste.
Return meat rolls to the pan and bring it to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through (165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer).
You can make your own top round steaks by buying a top (or bottom) round, slicing it thinly and hammering with a meat mallet

Not far from Paso Robles, in San Luis Obispo County, rural roads wind through some of the most beautiful countryside I’ve ever seen. This ranch was tucked into the hills and surrounded by big, beautiful oak trees. A few cattle were grazing in the distant pasture.
This painting bears the official stamp of the San Luis Obispo Plein Air Festival, 2012, on the reverse side.

Remember those Fast Don’t Lie commercials by adidas featuring Dwight Howard and Ken Jeong as “Slim Chin?”
Those spots aired five years ago at the height of Howard’s popularity, his statistical peak—from a scoring standpoint—and his unofficial ownership of the title of the League’s most dominant big man. His personality made him easy to love and his combination of strength, agility and athleticism made it hell for any center to match up with him.
Just like the theme of those commercials, a lot has changed rather quickly for Howard since then. He’s changed teams (twice), injuries to his back, labrum and knee over the past four seasons that have limited the overall explosiveness. Not even his partnership with adidas remains after he signed with China-based PEAK this summer.
After only missing a total of seven regular-season games in his first seven seasons, in the four seasons since his departure from Orlando, Howard has missed a total of 70, including 41 last season with a right knee injury.
These injuries, along with James Harden’s MVP-level emergence have caused Howard’s role in Houston’s offense to be reduced and his efforts focused more heavily on freeing teammates up on screens, cleaning up the boards and being an enforcer on the defensive end, where he is still one of the best in the business. If fully healthy, he’s always a candidate for his fourth-career Defensive Player of the Year award.
Make no mistake; this is no epitaph. You won’t see any opponent clamoring on how Howard has lost a step, as it’s a workout in itself having to try and keep him from powering his way to where he wants to go.
If he chooses to opt-out next summer and test the free-agent waters, there will be a handful of teams ready to offer the max, as he’s still at an elite level big man that commands double-teams and full attention at all times.
While Harden took the reigns of the team in Howard’s absence last season and more importantly, kept the Rockets in the top half of a stacked Western Conference, Howard had to humble himself immeasurably.
As hard as it was not to be on the floor for a player who has played through several ailments that would sideline many for weeks; it had to be even more difficult to watch a team he made the choice to join, in hopes of winning a title, succeeding with him in a suit.
As great as Harden is, the Rockets won’t go far without a healthy Howard commandeering the paint. That same sentiment is true if Howard isn’t forced to sit out those two months of last season, and having to come to grips with the reality of accepting deferring on offense and fully embracing a role he publicly resented and questioned during his only season in Los Angeles.
In any team sport, to collectively win, individuals must often sacrifice in some capacity to succeed. In sacrificing trying to shoulder the load, things should be a lot easier for Howard and the Rockets should only improve on last season’s Western Conference finals berth.

A Tale of Two Cities Characters
The main characters in A Tale of Two Cities are Sydney Carton, Charles Darnay, and Lucie Manette.
- Sydney Carton is an outwardly cynical barrister who believes he has wasted his life. He ultimately sacrifices himself out of love for Lucie Manette and dies by guillotine in Charles Darnay’s place.
- Charles Darnay is a French aristocrat who has severed ties with his family, the cruel Saint Evremondes. He risks his life to save Gabelle and is saved from execution by Sydney Carton.
- Lucie Manette is a compassionate young woman who devotes herself to caring for her father, Dr. Manette, and eventually marries Charles Darnay.
Last Updated on January 27, 2022, by eNotes Editorial. Word Count: 1054
Sydney Carton is an improbable hero who hides a noble and rather romantic nature beneath a carapace of hard-bitten cynicism. Carton is a barrister of high intelligence and considerable abilities whose career has nonetheless been unsuccessful, largely due to his lack of application and self-belief. He drinks a great deal and regards his life as worthless and wasted, which is one of the reasons why he decides to sacrifice it. The primary reason for his sacrifice, however, is his love for Lucie Manette, and it is his selfless concern for her happiness that finally elevates his deeply flawed character to the level of heroism.
Charles Darnay is a French aristocrat, a member of the Saint Evrémonde family, who has renounced his title and taken the name of Darnay in disgust at the cruel and oppressive conduct of the other Sainte Evrémondes. Darnay is physically very like Sydney Carton but psychologically quite dissimilar, as his character is open, honest, and quite free from cynicism. He is also less intelligent than Carton and seems not to grasp that Carton dislikes him principally because they both love Lucie Manette, and Darnay is able to marry her. Darnay is courageous and altruistic, risking his life when he returns to Paris to save Gabelle.
Lucie Manette is, in many ways, the archetypal Dickens heroine: young, beautiful, and so perfectly pure and good that she seems practically angelic. This is clearly the impression she makes on Sydney Carton, who loves Lucie but regards her as too far above him for him to think of marrying her. Lucie’s compassion and concern for Carton are a sign of her purity of heart, as is her selfless devotion to her father.
Dr. Alexandre Manette
After eighteen years of unjust imprisonment in the Bastille at the instance of the Sainte Evrémonde brothers, Dr. Manette is a physical and mental wreck, pitifully weak and perpetually terrified. The care of Lucie, the daughter he never met before his release from prison, gradually restores him to health and contentment.
Monsieur Defarge is the former servant of Dr. Manette, who now keeps a wine shop in Paris. He is also a leader of the revolution, to which he has a strong ideological commitment. Defarge is strong, brave, and principled. He hates the aristocracy, and the Sainte Evrémonde family in particular, partly out of loyalty to Dr. Manette. Nonetheless, he is more moderate in his attitude to the revolution than many of his comrades, including his wife. The Defarges take a leading role in the storming of the Bastille, and Sydney Carton foresees that he will eventually die by the “retributive instrument” of the guillotine.
Madame Defarge, wife of Ernest, shares his commitment to the revolution, though her attitude is far more extreme and bloodthirsty than her husband’s. She is fearless and ruthless, and utterly implacable in her hatred of the Sainte Evrémonde family. Madame Defarge is one of the leading tricoteuses, the women who sit placidly knitting as they watch the public executions.
Jarvis Lorry is an orderly, methodical, and slightly vain old gentleman of about sixty. He is a manager at Tellson’s Bank and takes charge of the Paris branch during the revolution. Lorry is a loyal friend of the Manette family, providing them with practical, and eventually life-saving, help and support.
Jerry Cruncher is a messenger for Tellson’s Bank who also turns out to be a body snatcher (or “Resurrection-Man”). He is a rough, even violent character, though he shows loyalty toward Jarvis Lorry and his friends, the Manettes.
The Marquis de Sainte Evrémonde
The Marquis de Sainte Evrémonde is Charles Darnay’s uncle, a haughty and corrupt French aristocrat with a face like a sardonic mask. In his cruelty, arrogance, and complete lack of remorse for a lifetime of oppressive exploitation, including assault and murder, the Marquis symbolizes everything that is wrong with the French aristocracy and which causes the revolution.
Monseigneur is a generic French aristocrat of a similar type to the Marquis de Sainte Evrémonde, though the two are not on good terms, as it becomes clear that Sainte Evrémonde is out of favor in court circles. Monseigneur also symbolizes the extreme decadence of the French aristocracy and the luxury in which they live. He has four gorgeously-liveried footmen to serve him his chocolate every morning, and Dickens sardonically observes that he would have been terribly ashamed to be waited on by only three servants and “must have died of two.” When the revolution begins, he has to escape ignominiously, disguised as a cook.
Stryver is a pompous and talentless barrister, always shown pushing and shouldering his way to greater professional success through a throng of other lawyers. He relies on the intelligence of Sydney Carton, who “devils,” or prepares cases, for him.
John Barsad is a spy whose real name is Solomon Pross. He is an obviously unreliable witness at Charles Darnay’s trial in London and later serves as a police spy in Paris. Dickens describes him as a terrible scoundrel, comparing him to Judas Iscariot. He cynically exploits his sister, the kind-hearted Miss Pross, who is Lucie Manette’s governess.
Roger Cly is a collaborator of John Barsad’s, also a spy and also untrustworthy, though less fully described. Cly is thought to have died, and his funeral procession is described, but when Jerry Cruncher digs up his coffin, it turns out to be full of rocks, meaning that Cly is alive and probably still working as a spy. Sydney Carton foresees his eventual death by guillotine.
Gabelle is an employee of the Sainte Evrémonde family whose letter to Charles Darnay, written from prison, brings Darnay to Paris. He is named after the gabelle, a very unpopular tax on salt, which was repealed in 1790, in the midst of the revolution, but reinstated by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806.
Miss Pross is the sister of Solomon Pross, also known as John Barsad, and governess to Lucie Manette. Her principal quality is her loyalty: she is strongly attached to Lucie and continually defends her brother, who shows her no consideration in return.
