Should something mean be illegal
What video has gone viral? Are our kids more mean than they used to be? Why have we created a society that is self-centered? Should acts like this be punished by law? What gender do you think the kids are in this video? Do our kids have empathy anymore?

MI5 chief reveals 2005 bombing fears
The head of MI5 during the 2005 London bombings today said she feared at the time the service would not be able to cope with continuing terror attacks.
Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller said following the 7/7 suicide bombings and the failed attacks a fortnight later, she suspected terrorists could try to bomb the capital on a regular basis.
She said investigators did not immediately know the attack on the capital's public transport system - which killed 52 people - was carried out by suicide bombers.
Lady Manningham-Buller, director general of Britain's domestic intelligence agency between 2002 and 2007, was speaking ahead of the publication of MI5's first official history today.
In a BBC interview she said: "My recollection of 7/7 was a feeling of 'It's happened', what we half expected would, what we had prepared for, what we had trained for, so it was a bad day for everybody.
"But the service started immediately doing all the things that it knew it had to do.
"In the early days we did not know it was a suicide bombing until the forensics began to come through. So at the beginning we were trying to support the police in possibly finding the team who had done it, who for all we knew, at that stage were still alive and capable of mounting another attack."
She recalled the failed attacks on July 21: "For me it was worse, although nobody died, although it was an unsuccessful attack, I had that feeling that if this is going to happen every fortnight how are we going to cope with this?
"How are the police going to cope?
"It was the apprehension that this might be a continuing problem."
Lady Manningham-Buller also defended MI5's interrogation of suspects, saying its agents operated to the "highest ethical standards".
She wanted to speak out on the subject of torture but could not at the moment while cases involving the alleged mistreatment of British terror suspects were before the courts.

Japan is expected to name its 23-man squad for the World Cup on May 31, several days ahead of the June 4 deadline.
Friday’s announcement was the first indication of the players new head coach Akira Nishino has in mind for the World Cup.
Japan fired Vahid Halilhodzic as coach last month, only two months before the World Cup opens, and replaced him with Nishino.
Honda has seven goals with Mexican side Pachuca this season. The attacking midfielder, a mainstay on Japan’s recent World Cup squads, fell out of favor with Halilhodzic, who benched him during qualifying matches.

Northampton County Council -- having undergone a substantial makeover in the November election -- is rethinking a 40-year, $10 million grant for the proposed Da Vinci Science City project in Downtown Easton.
In December, county council approved a grant that would send the Da Vinci center $250,000 a year over four decades. The money would come from the 4 percent county tax on hotel rooms, which supports economic development and underwrites grants for tourism-related projects.
The $130 million Da Vinci development, planned for South Third Street and Larry Holmes Drive, is benefiting from grants from other sources, including $30 million from the city of Easton. It recently announced it would replace plans for an aquarium with a nature dome, a condition to receive $20 million in state funding. State officials objected to an aquarium in Easton competing with a proposed state-supported aquarium in the Poconos.
Last week county council introduced a measure to end its $10 million subsidy. Only two members who voted for the grant remain on the council, Peg Ferraro and Robert Werner. Some members are balking at public funding for a project that hasn't outlined its final make-up.
Da Vinci Center Executive Director Lin Erickson has asked council to hold off on repealing the grant and wants to brief members on the plans before the scheduled Feb. 15 vote.
Northampton County previously approved $1 million to ArtsQuest for the SteelStacks project in Bethlehem.
What do you think? Should county council revoke its grant for the Da Vinci project? Register your vote in our informal poll, and feel free to elaborate in the comment section.

The Casebook of Jonas P. Jonas and Other Mysteries(2012)
A collection of stories by E X Ferrars (Elizabeth Ferrars)
E. X. Ferrars (1907-1995) was born Morna Doris MacTaggart and known as Elizabeth Ferrars in Great Britain. By whatever name, she was an elegant crime writer, specializing in the traditional, classic mystery. She remains,wrote one reviewer, one of the most adept and intelligent adherents of the whodunit form. Her characters were always distinctly drawn, usually (but not quite always) likable, and her settings vividly described. Like many of the Golden Age writers, she often set her mysteries in English villages, but her books could range as far as Cyprus, Greece, and Africa. The Casebook of Jonas P. Jonas contains seventeen previously uncollected stories, including the six cases of Jonas P. Jonas who retells his sleuthing exploits in the hope that his niece will write his memoirs. This is the thirty-fourth volume in Crippen & Landru's Lost Classics series uncollected detective and mystery stories by great writers of the past. The book is edited by the detective-fiction-expert John Cooper, who has also edited collections by Michael Gilbert, Michael Innes, and Julian Symons. The cover illustration is by Gail Cross, and the Lost Classics design is by Deborah Miller.

Clinton Dunnock Sentenced to 14 years in Prison for Cocaine ChargesPosted on August 3, 2007
U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Clinton Dunnock, 34 years old, of Baltimore today to 14 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. Judge Bennett enhanced Dunnock's sentence upon finding that he is a career offender based on his prior convictions for felony drug offenses.
According to his guilty plea, a confidential source (CS) advised the DEA that Dunnock was attempting to obtain multi-kilograms of cocaine from a source of supply in New York from whom Dunnock had previously obtained heroin and cocaine. The narcotics were to be delivered in Maryland on January 31, 2007.
On January 31, 2007, DEA agents observed Dunnock exit his vehicle carrying two plastic bags and enter another man's vehicle. Dunnock and the man then walked to an unoccupied vehicle which contained the narcotics. Dunnock was arrested after taking possession of approximately seven kilograms of cocaine. Agents recovered from the plastic bags approximately $38,000 packaged in a manner consistent with narcotics transactions.

The Resit for the Basic Education Certificate Examination has started today at various examination centers.
The BECE resit was introduced last year to provide pupils who could not pass the Basic Examination for the first time a second opportunity to rewrite their paper to better their grades.
At the Bolgatanga Girls’ Senior High School, the only center in the Upper East region, about 150 pupils are sitting for this year’s examination.
A pupil who spoke to kuulpeeps.com said she was very optimistic of making good grades this time around because she had had enough time and space to revise her notes properly.
Supervisor for the center indicated that, although there are supposed to be age restrictions, it occurs to him that it has been overlooked considering the age of some of the pupils.
He mentioned that the exams was going on smoothly and nothing untoward had been registered
The exams will run from today, February 15th and end on Friday February 19th.

May 12, 2020 Arlington, TX —- MedCore Partners announced today that it has successfully brokered the sale of Texas Health Surgery Center Arlington. The 11,987 square foot facility sits on 2.16 acres and is home to Surgical Care Affiliates, a state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center operator performing all aspects of ocular surgery in conjunction with a group of specialty physicians. This facility offers a stress-free atmosphere with a wide array of ophthalmic services including cataract, cornea and retina care along with ophthalmic plastics.
Located near the intersection of N Davis Road and W Randol Mill Road in Arlington, Texas, the convenient location is just minutes from Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital in the heart of Arlington’s medical district.
MedCore Partners successfully combined highly specialized market analytics and brokerage services which allowed them to quickly secure a proven buyer. “We were extremely pleased with MedCore’s services and ability to get this deal closed during unprecedented times.” – Jeff Brockette, CEO at Texas Retina Associates.
Michael Collins, Senior Vice President of MedCore Partners said “I think this transaction is a great example of why healthcare real estate is such a strong asset class.

Urika Jonsson shared with fans an hilarious photograph on her Instagram today after her "tiny t**ts" bikini snap yesterday.
The 52-year-old blonde bombshell is no stranger to a scorching snap, but this time she posted a joke "topless" snap of a person who looked just like her, but on a different body.
Ulrika showed the funny side of her personality as the picture showed her with a male body and hairy chest.
The fan posted he picture from their book and tagged her in it, saying: "That you?"
Ulrika certainly saw the funny side and proceeded to post the joke snap on her social media page, sharing it with her 63.6k followers.
Her hysterical "topless" snap comes just a day after Ulrika posted a bikini snap wearing a teeny black swimsuit.
The Gladiators presenter drove her fans wild with the snaps as she enjoyed the sunshine amid lockdown.
She looked fabulous as she showed off her sizzling physique in a black string bikini.
Ulrika looked gorgeous in the series of photos, as she shielded her face from the sunlight in a white bucket hat.
She opted for a natural makeup look to show off her beauty and styled her hair into loose effortless curls.
Urlrika captioned the jaw-dropping snap jokingly saying: "Sun's out tiny t**ts out."
The mum-of-four recently joked that she was going to become a "virgin" again as a result of not being able to have sex with her boyfriend during lockdown.
Taking to her column in BEST magazine, Ulrika wrote: "Having spent the past two years of coming out of a somewhat 'barren' marriage with little human touch, I have then spent the past five months motoring along in a physical relationship with a new man – so you might see the confusion my brain and body is suffering.
"It took a lot to get my inner sexual engine started up again – only for coronavirus to take away the petrol and dump in an isolated garage on the edge of nowhere."
She continued: "I know you might argue that missing intimacy, touch, love and affection, is way down the list of needs and musts right now – and I hear you.
"But it took a long time to re-programme my dormant brain to wake up and give and receive affection. And now I'm trying to do the reverse. And you know what they say about old dogs...
"So, instead, my new approach is looking forward to 'dating' again - whenever that may be. I'm trying my hardest to remember what it feels like.
"At the same time as wonder whether I'll actually be a virgin again by the time this is all over."

Impenetrable the will to maintain
all the deluded hopes that sustain an ego,
perched high on a pedestal of clay,
brittle that edifice, prone to decay.
Yet we hold on tight to these limits,
in a belief, we are protecting our ways,
when truth alone is sacrificed,
just to keep a non-compliant ego at bay.
Truth is often a bitter pill,
a discomfort of vulnerability,
to be stripped of our shrouds and allow
light to bathe us truly.
But these walls we build are false beliefs,
an adverse reaction to change,
what our soul really needs in growth,
to in honesty hone and rearrange.
What we need is not protection but honesty,
to accept and abide by our vulnerability,
so we can discover what is within us,
to allow who we are to arise.
The ego is brittle and sensitive,
but humility is far more stoic,
to be open and exposed to the light of truth,
gives rise to learning and movement.
Pride is an expense we do not need,
like a filter that colours the truth,
and in our stance we lose the opportunity
to grow and understand the ruse.
Honesty with ourselves is the first step
to a life far more rewarding,
open to the faults and potential we hold,
so we can accept, learn and grow.
Delusions just keep us still,
bide time and instil a false comfort,
each day a repetition of the previous,
a circle of never-ending will.
Whereas being open is a gift of change,
a never-ending growth of wisdom
and the fulfilment of a thirsty soul,
understanding a higher purpose.

James Lipton, a famous media personality and presenter of “Inside the Actors Studio”, died in his house on Monday. He was 93 years old.
Lipton died Monday morning in the midst of his fight against bladder cancer, local media reported, citing his wife Kedakai Turner Lipton.
He was known for his passion. His interviews with top-class stars “Inside the Actors Studio” for more than 20 years made him a well-known figure in pop culture. James Lipton enabled individuals to be simply the best form.
Lipton hosted for 22 seasons and interviewed numerous world-famous actors and directors as part of the Actors Studio Drama School.
Notable guests on the show range from Paul Newman to Meryl Streep and Steven Spielberg to Stephen Sondheim.
The TV show was nominated for 20 Emmys during Lipton’s run. Actors Studio was originally founded by director Elia Kazan as a workshop for artists.
Lipton was born in Detroit and eventually moved to New York to pursue a career as a performer. He appeared in plays and soap operas. He joined the cast of The Guiding Light in 1952 and later became the author of the series.
Will Ferrell introduced Lipton to another audience by portraying him in “Saturday Night Live”, and the popularity of “Inside the Actors Studio” led to cameos in other series, including “Arrested Development” and the animated “Family Guy”.

A couple of weeks back or so, one of the commenters was suggesting some other singers with one of them being Emiko Shiratori（白鳥英美子）. Now, I've actually heard of Shiratori since she was part of the 1970s duo Toi et Moi（トワ・エ・モワ）and some of her songs were played on my old radio program "Sounds of Japan" back in the 1980s.
Although Shiratori has been listed in J-Wiki as a pop/folk singer, my impression of her through the songs from "Sounds of Japan" is that of someone who is an expert in healing music. As soon as you listen to her, the effect is almost something you would get from a cup of chamomile tea. Her beautiful voice is very calming to the soul.
Some time after the initial breakup of Toi et Moi, Shiratori began her solo career. Her first single coming out in 1982 but it wouldn't be until 1988 that she got her first hit through her cover of "Amazing Grace". However, she had been releasing solo albums since 1973 and her 9th album "Irodori"（彩り...Colours）from September 1992 has this lovely number called "Irodori no Aki" (Colourful Fall).
I did forget what a lovely voice Shiratori has and it's nice to be reminded of it through this ballad. Perhaps that cup of chamomile and some cookies would be fine to have right now. Also, if my tape recorder Jaws is in a kind mood, I may try to track down those old songs of her on the ancient audiotapes of "Sounds of Japan".

As one of Germany’s foremost bicycle cities, Münster (Westfalen) has the country’s largest bicycle station, with safe and dry parking spaces for 3500 bicycles.
The bicycle station is located directly in front of Münster’s main railroad station, so people can ride their bikes to the station and then take the train to wherever they are going. People commuting into Münster also can deposit a bike here and then use it every day after they arrive here by train.
Bicycle parking costs € 0.80 for a day, € 4.50 for seven days, € 8.00 for a calendar month or € 80.00 for a year. (Make that € 100.00 for the year if you want to have your own reserved space.) Prices as of 2021.
By the way, it is still possible to park bikes up on the street for free, which lots of people still do for short term parking. (That’s what I did when I stopped to take these photos.)
While people in Münster are proud of having the largest bike station in Germany, they are well aware that several cities in the Netherlands, just off to the west, have much larger ones.
The world’s largest bicycle parking garage is currently the one in at the main station in Utrecht, in the Netherlands, which opened in 2019 and can hold 12,500 bicycles. Utrecht is just 170 km west of Münster.
The American Environmental Defense Fund, in an article on “Bike-and-Ride Commuting”, pointed out that bicycle stations like this one “eliminate the inefficiency of using your car for only a short distance (cold starts), and that saves a lot of fuel and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.” They explained that most cars “burn as much gas and put out as much pollution and greenhouse gases in the first two miles of a trip when the engine is cold as they do in the next five or ten miles of a trip.”
Also, they said that building and operating a bicycle station only costs one tenth to one one-hundredth of what it would cost to provide parking for the same number of cars.
In the Münster bicycle station there is a machine where for a mere € 4.50 (price as of 2021) you can have your bicycle washed. Just put a protective cover over the saddle, roll the bike into the machine, insert the money, push the button, and after five minutes it’s clean.
By the way, the Münster bicycle station began operations on June 14, 1999, so it has already celebrated its twentieth anniversary. At first lots of people thought the bicycle station was a crazy idea, but it’s been a huge success, and now people in Münster can’t imagine how they ever got along without it.
For us visitors, the bicycle station is the first thing we see when we arrive in Münster and come out of the train station, so it’s a great welcome to the city.
The Münster bicycle station also has a professional bicycle repair shop, which is very convenient especially for people who park their bicycles here anyway.
As the Environmental Defense Fund pointed out in their article, simply providing bicycle parking at the station isn’t enough, “you have to make the facilities safe and comfortable as an incentive to get people to find it as convenient as driving with many extra benefits besides.”
They mentioned Münster as a good example of a city which has done this, and went on to explain: “There’s no doubt that bicycling is not only great for your health but saves money on fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It offers a way to get more people on mass transit at lower cost. Given the low cost of building and maintaining bike stations, we can both afford and physically accommodate a lot more bike spaces than we can car spaces. And it can free up now crowded park-and-ride spaces that often fill up early in the morning, so people who can’t bike can more dependably catch a ride on transit.”
At the Münster bicycle station they also have bikes for rent, including tandem bikes and bicycle trailers for children. The rental price as of 2021 is € 8.00 per calendar day, reduced to € 7.00 if you have come from more than 100 kilometers by train (just show your ticket). You can also rent for three calendar days (€ 20.00) or for a week (€ 37,50), and there are reduced prices for groups.

Fossil fuel-related air pollution causes over 3,000 deaths in London every year. Campaigners say that should cause healthcare organisations to rethink investments
Air pollution is responsible for five per cent of all UK deaths every year, with 3,389 annual deaths in London alone being chalked up to man-made pollution, according to a new report. Fossil fuels are largely responsible for poor air quality.
‘The studies gathered together in the report were looking at early mortality,’ says Medact director Dr David McCoy. ‘For people with chronic respiratory disease in particular, poor air quality is going to be an aggravating factor in their death. We used London as an illustrative example.’ Five organisations for medical workers behind the report think this means professional bodies and organisations allied with the health sector should divest from fossil fuel companies.
The report, Unhealthy Investments, highlights the health impacts from fossil fuels and possible divestment strategies. Medact, Healthy Planet UK, the Climate and Health Council, Medsin and the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare collaborated on the report.
‘These deaths are a direct consequence of air pollution. We’re calling on health organisations to divest from fossil fuel companies. We’re particularly campaigning for links to be broken with companies that extract fossil fuels, like the major oil producers,’ says McCoy.
“These deaths are a direct consequence of air pollution. We’re calling on health organisations to divest from fossil fuel companies”
Last year, the British Medical Association voted to divest in fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy due to concerns over air pollution.
‘We’re focusing on colleges and various health worker organisations. We also want to encourage organisations like the Wellcome Trust, which has £450million invested in fossil fuels, to divest,’ says Alistair Wardrope, national coordinator at Health Planet. ‘We’d like to see more shareholder activism over the issue.’
‘Our organisation can provide support in sorting out the legal and bureaucratic issues around divestment,’ says McCoy.
Medical divestment is one strand in a wider campaign. ‘Oxford City Council, several US universities including Stanford and some UK local authorities have divested already,’ says Wardrope.
More UK health organisations are expected to make decisions on divestment later in the year.

A complaint has been lodged that school management officials have secretly copied and blackmailed nude scenes in the toilets of school teachers. A total of 52 teachers have lodged complaints with the school authorities. The shocking incident took place in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. Teachers allege he copied video and photos of the school restroom and worked without pay for months, threatening to spread it outside.
According to the complaint, the school management committee used to show these pictures and threaten them when they asked for their salary arrears. Based on the teachers’ complaint, the police have registered an FIR against the school authorities, alleging sexual harassment, and espionage.
But the school management committee secretary denied the allegations. The camera was not installed in the teachers’ toilet. Meanwhile, there is a CCTV camera in the toilets of male teachers. He said this was in view of the recent increase in incidents including murders on school premises.
The school is in arrears with the salaries of the teachers. The secretary said it was due to the financial crisis in the wake of the COVID epidemic. Sadar Bazar Police SHO Vijay Gupta said the investigation into the teachers’ complaint was progressing.


There are lots of varieties of rope socket in most typical use: Knot sort, teardrop sort and braided sort. The rope_socket is required to make connection between wireline and toolstring. The essential toolstring parts are rope_ socket, knuckle joint, stem, mechanical jars, and so forth.
The teardrop (additionally known as a ‘no-knot’ or ‘wedge’ sort) is designed for 0.092″, 0.105″, 0.108″, 0.125″ and is designed O.D for 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″, 1-7/8″, 2-1/8″, 2-1/2″.
The usual physique of teardrop has an inside taper to simply accept the thimble. Nevertheless a thimble eye is accessible to transform the older type of rope socket.
The top of the wire is bent to suit the curve on the backside of the teardrop, with the brief aspect barely shorter than the aspect of the thimble.
The groove within the thimble of this socket just isn’t deep sufficient to accommodate the full thickness of the wireline. Because the safety of the wirelne relies upon upon its being pinched between the thimble and it physique. Care should be taken to make sure the right dimension of socket is chosen for the wireline in use.
As the inner parts of the teardrop rope socket don’t allow the wire to rotate, it’s important to incorporate a swivel instantly under it.
Don’t substitute a knuckle joint rather than a swivel. A swivel has 11/2 levels to five levels of lateral motion, the place a knuckle joint just isn’t designed to rotate
underneath load and has 15 levels of lateral motion. Within the occasion of it being essential to fish the rope socket, a knuckle joint will enable it to put over towards the aspect of the tubing wall at an angle which can make latching tough / inconceivable.

Following 100,000 Opportunities Initiative’s successful premiere Opportunity Fair & Forum last month, the group today announced its plan to repeat the event in Phoenix on Oct. 30.
Committed to creating pathways to employment for young people, the organization held its first fair in Chicago earlier this summer. The coalition, now comprising 33 leading U.S. companies, continues to accelerate its nationwide effort to hire America’s opportunity youth – 16-24-year-olds who are not in school or employed.
While one in seven young adults neither works nor attends school nationwide, that figure is even higher in Phoenix. Of America’s 25 largest cities, Phoenix scores highest in youth disengagement—especially among African American, American Indian and Hispanic populations in Maricopa County.
“Phoenix is a strong indicator for the larger crisis facing our nation when it comes to engaging opportunity youth,” Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said. “While the statistics are sobering, our city is seeing a small but powerful groundswell of civic, community and elected leaders that are working hard to give youth in Phoenix the type of meaningful job and educational opportunities they deserve. The business leadership driving the 100,000 Opportunities Initiative will help take our city’s efforts to even greater heights and bring more attention to the magnitude of this issue and its impact on the rest of the country.”

Animal feed additives are ingredients with the nutritional value provided to animals. It acts like a vitamin for farm animals that receive insufficient nutrients from regular diets. The global AFA market has grown rapidly in recent years due to the increasing demand for meat and related products.
The increasing demand for protein-rich meat and dairy products, industrialization in meat production, increasing consumption of meat, outbreaks of animal diseases, and increasing awareness of meat safety and quality are some of the key growth drivers in the AFA market.
Regulatory structures and rising raw material costs are some of the biggest challenges limiting the growth of this industry. However, rising creatine animal feed prices created several opportunities for the AFA. Limiting the use of certain harmful feed additives and environmental concerns also creates opportunities for the use of AFA.
Most feed producers seek to improve production processes to develop products at lower costs and increase production capacity.
The global AFA market is segmented into two main categories:
· Dietary supplements for animal feed( creatine animal feed)
· Non-food feed additives
Amino acids, minerals, and vitamins are included in the creatine animal feed additive category, while hormones, antibiotics, enzymes, prebiotics and probiotics, immunomodulatory, and feed acidifiers are included in the non-food feed additive category.
Creatine animal feed provides essential nutrients in the right ratios. It helps to increase muscle mass faster and get lean meat.

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well, things seem to have been mad round here recently and I almost forgot to post this but, luckily I remembered just in time.

Mexico Finally Gets Oil Out Of Deep Water
Mexico may have finally had success in deep drilling for oil in its sections of the Gulf of Mexico. According to the Financial Times, the state oil company Pemex has hit an oil well just south of the maritime boundary with the US. Trion 1, the successful well, lies in the Perdido Fold Belt, a formation known for its rich oil reserves on the US side of the line. The discovery was confirmed on Wednesday by the Mexican President.
Premex has been searching for oil in the Gulf for most of the past ten years but with little success prior to the Trion discovery. The only other well that can be considered a success – albeit a modest one – was the Lakach well, which produces natural gas mainly, but its value has been greatly undermined by the recent shale gas gold rush.
Trion shows a lot of promise though and both Premex and President Calderon have waxed enthusiastically about the prospect. According to a statement from Premex, the well has a flow rate of 10 thousand barrels per day. The company also said that the region is one of Mexico most promising prospects. President Calderon added to the sense of optimism, saying that the discovery could be an indication of a great oil potential in Mexico’s share of the Perdido field: between four and 10 billion barrels of crude oil and its equivalent in natural gas.
!m(/uploads/story/312/thumbs/pic1_inline.png)If those numbers turn out to be accurate, then the discovery of Trion couldn’t have come at a better time for Mexico. The country relies heavily on oil production, representing as it does one-third of Mexico’s income, but some of the country’s biggest oil fields are nearing depletion. For example, the gigantic Cantarell field in the Sound of Campeche has seen a dramatic drop in production – down from 2.5 million-plus barrels a day at its peak to a mere 400 million bpd today. As a result, Mexico’s overall crude output, which peaked at 3.4 million bpd in 2004, has decreased significantly, standing now at 2.5 million bpd. In these circumstances, it’s easy to see why the country is putting so much hope in Trion and Perdido.
But as the Financial Times points out, not everyone is convinced that the region carries so much potential. David Shields, an independent oil analyst based in Mexico City, described Mr. Calderon’s prognoses as “politically inspired speculation”. According to Shields, the president’s claims can’t be confirmed without a serious investment of time and effort.
Perhaps the major problem here is that Mexico and Premex are essentially going it alone in these initiatives. This is attributable to the way the Mexican constitution regulates oil production in the country. Mexican law, as explained by Luis Miguel Labardini, a partner of the Mexico City-based Ernesto Marcos y Asociados consultancy, says that only the state can be the owner of oil in the country. This will surely deflect any potential partners, leaving Premex shouldering alone the burdens and risks of exploration and development.

Our music lesson students will have the opportunity to take lessons from the comfort of their own home or in one of the teachers studios. Careful attention is placed on each student to ensure a custom lesson plan. Our music teachers understand that every student has different needs and abilities and therefore the lessons will be planned with that knowledge in mind.
lessons are available in the following areas:
Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet
Seems I've always been a teacher, even when I didn't realize it; from my school days as first chair helping other students, through college where I taught for the Southern Nevada School of Music and at Vesleys Music Conservatory, through the time I received my first certified public school teaching position and after that as a business owner with employees, I have been teaching and learning. Currently I teach Instrumental, Vocal music and Speech/Drama in Oklahoma as a certified classroom teacher. I have produced State Speech Champions and a vocal student who received the coveted Red Card to appear on The VOICE tv show. I believe the forestated exemplifies my passion for teaching and having young people do more than they might think.
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Violin, Cello, Viola, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Drums, Recorder, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Mallet Percussion, Bassoon, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar
I have 7 years of public and charter school: General Music, Band, and Choir teaching experience. In both Texas and Oklahoma. I started private teaching in 97 for a studio where I taught Group Piano, Group Voice, private Voice, piano, clarinet, saxophone and trumpet. I went to another studio and taught the same group. I then started my own studio mainly teaching piano and voice. I have since add Violin, Cello, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Guitar, Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute and Saxophone to my lesson offering. I am a certified Teacher for All Levels Vocal and Instrumental Music from Pre-K to 12th grade in the State of Texas and Oklahoma. I have played French Horn for 26 years, Piano self taught from age 5, currently am a pianist for a local church. I am a member of a community choir and active receive continued vocal training.
My teaching experience includes working with children at St. Paul United Methodist Church and The Learning Tree Daycare in Muskogee, Oklahoma. More recently I was a teaching assistant at the University of Arizona where I held my own studio of undergraduate voice majors as well as teaching a voice class for students with no previous musical experience. In addition to my teaching experience, I have performed in many opera and musical theatre productions (Cimarron Opera, The International Summer Music Institute, Muskogee Little Theatre) as well as professional choirs.
Instruments: Piano, Voice
My teaching experience began at the University of Tulsa. I taught voice to a few students who were non music majors for about a year. After graduating from the University of Tulsa, I began teaching at Brook Fine Arts Academy in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I taught over 30 students a week in both voice and piano (ages 3 to 20) for over a year. In my work as a teacher, I have helped students prepare for school competitions, studio recitals, talent shows, solo and ensemble contest, and musical auditions. I also taught both theory and ear training skills to my piano students. I enjoy teaching because it's wonderful to help students gain confidence not only in their musical abilities but in themselves as an individual. My job as a teacher is to help motivate my students but above all help them have fun in the process.
As a soloist, I have performed in operas and opera scenes at the University of Tulsa and the University of Oklahoma. I have been a payed performer for Tulsa Opera Chorus and Tulsa Oratorio Chorus. I have been in church music for the past 7 years, and am currently the director of music and organist at First Christian Church in Moore, Oklahoma. I love teaching voice to all age groups!
Don't just take our word for it. We hold the highest possible A+ rating from the nations foremost online reliability source: The BBB. Check out our A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.Ok
Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.

Hear Miley Cyrus Join Forces with RuPaul, Ghostface Killah on Her 'She Is Coming' EP
Published May 31, 2019As expected, Miley Cyrus has released her new EP. Titled She Is Coming, the new mini-release can be streamed now.
The EP is made up of six songs and features contributions from Ghostface Killah, Swae Lee and Mike WiLL Made-It. It also even features RuPaul, who guests on "Cattitude" — a song that delves into the Nicki Minaj/Cardi B beef.
Apparently, this is the first release of an entire trilogy of EPs, with She Is Here and She Is Everything to follow later this year.
For now, hear She Is Coming below.
In other Miley news, she is slated to star in a new episode of Black Mirror, which will premiere its fifth season on Netflix on June 5.


WGBH, one of Boston’s two National Public Radio affiliates, has made an investment of an undisclosed amount in podcast app maker RadioPublic.
RadioPublic, a Boston-based startup founded by public radio veterans, announced on Wednesday that it raised a new $1.2 million seed round with WGBH as the lead investor. Other new investors include former Groupon CEO and founder Andrew Mason and local investment firm Companyon Capital. The startup’s original group of investors — which includes The New York Times, American Public Media and Slate.com publisher Graham Holdings — also participated in the funding round.
Jake Shapiro, RadioPublic’s CEO and co-founder, told BostInno that the startup raised the round after proving it could build a podcast app for iOS and Android that could attract hundreds of thousands of users — largely through organic growth — with the first $1.6 million in funding it raised in May 2016. Shapiro declined to disclose specific user numbers.
“We feel like we’re in a great place to help publishers who have a direct membership or crowdfunding model.”
What also encouraged investors was RadioPublic’s ability to help podcast publishers reach and expand their audiences in ways they haven’t been able to before, Shapiro said.
For example, the company integrated a crowdfunding campaign for Radiotopia, a podcast network run by public radio program distributor PRX, into RadioPublic’s app. This materialized in a few ways, including push notifications and call-to-action messages that displayed on the pages of Radiotopia shows. Shapiro declined to say how much money Radiotopia raised through the app, but he said it was a high response rate.
“We feel like we’re in a great place to help publishers who have a direct membership or crowdfunding model,” Shapiro said. “We think we’re the most effective channel.”
These kinds of features could benefit WGBH, which carries out fundraising efforts for itself and 205 other public radio and TV stations across the United States through its Contributor Development Partnership, according to WGBH COO Ben Godley.
With CDP’s large database of donors, WGBH could integrate that data into RadioPublic and use it to personalize the app for individual listeners, Godley told BostInno. This could help public radio stations not only with fundraising but also with promoting podcasts and events.
“It’s a way for stations, including WGBH, to enrich the audience experience on the RadioPublic player,” said Godley, who is joining RadioPublic’s board as an observer.
The other reason WGBH invested in RadioPublic is simple to understand if you follow NPR or any affiliate: podcasting is the future of the industry. Even Frontline, the flagship investigative journalism TV show WGBH produces for PBS, has its own podcast now.
“We generally make investments where there’s a strategic alignment.”
“It’s starting to become a commonly used platform for on-demand listening, and it certainly meets all the criteria of what audiences want,” Godley said.
Goldey said this isn’t WGBH’s first tech startup investment: six or seven years ago, the company made a strategic investment in roundCorner, a Philadelphia-based company that provides a customer relationship management system for nonprofits and universities.
“We generally make investments where there’s a strategic alignment,” Godley said. “The real point is to improve our service to audiences.”

We all have regrets. There isn’t a single person in the world who hasn’t regretted something in one way or another, in light of new information or personal growth. We all make choices somehow that dictate the way we live for a certain time, the actions we take and how we impact ourselves, others and the world around us. We all live with a certain guilt and both project and interiorize blame in order to deal, because someone or something must be at fault, and it’s easier to blame ourselves or the other person involved because we can hardly see through the veils of disconnection, the connection to everything that surrounds us that lays behind.
There’s a saying “You are responsible for your actions, but not of the consequences of those actions” — this is also the idea behind the concepts of free will and determinism. Even we do have free will to act a certain way, undetermined by past actions/reactions, the free will of another will determine the consequences of our actions, hence this cycle of continuous action/reaction, most of the time without pause to think things through.
We react mostly instinctively out of “pre-programmed” emotions which we haven’t processed yet - not that I like this language, we are not machines. This brings a certain lack of clarity to the actions we will take forward. In order to have some clarity over both our emotions and the consequences of them, we need to look inside and find the wound that causes it. It’s most certainly always a wound, it’s like we accomulate them throughout our lives and live according to the fact that we’re wounded. One large statement in the world of healing post-traumatic stress disorder is the idea that traumatized people are not sick, but injured. That trauma victims are not victims, but survivors. This is so valid in the eyes of those who try to approach an impossible situation of so much pain and sorrow, and there is an physical, emotional and mental reaction we seemingly have no control over.
More so, we live in an age where fear is our control emotion, meaning we fear the other despite their harmless nature, we fear vulnerability and we fear surrendering this fear, in fear of more wounding happening. We live in the fear of death and fear of life, because both ideas have become terrifying. Life is terrifying because is full of harmful people and situations and places, death is terrifying because there simply isn’t a “knowing” on what is death anyway, besides the parting of life. So we cling to the fear of living, because it’s easier to think about than the fear of dying to which we have no solution to.
We can certainly do something every day to step out of our fear of living, and we can certainly enjoy life despite that fear in the background and even forget it exists. But you turn on the news, or open a social media website, and you’re bombarded with fear, hatred and harm. You’re bombarded with pressure to be anything but yourself in a world that demands both perfection as it criticizes it. We all have perfection and imperfection, some more than others one or the other, but we all do have these qualities. We are in perfect alignment with nature, as well as imperfectly disconnected from nature.
The urban realities have brought to our emotional tables of wounds isolation and too much connection which renders vulnerability and openness targets instead of qualities to nurture within ourselves.
So we blame, we blame the other and we blame ourselves, we feel guilt and regret, because certainly there is some part of us who deserved it all.
But do we deserve hatred? Does anyone deserve hatred, disdain, mockery, to be used, to be discarted, to be ridicularized? Does anyone? Do you, do I?
So, we feel regret, blame and guilt in order to not be vulnerable, open our hearts with a word of compassion and simply say: “I see you, I see good in you.”. We hide this because collectively we seem to have decided that what is good is to be hidden and showed only to those who we feel deserving. Collectively we divided ourselves with silly notions as borders with no respect for the cultural difference of people who band together, whether it is by family, land, work or leasure.
So, I see you. I see good in you. I see love and appreciation for life, I see kindness and intelligence, I see compassion and critical thinking. Do you see yourself? Can you stop with the regretting, and the blaming and the guilt? Can we stop this incessant noise of discord and build bridges of understanding?

SuperCoach: Round 4 Buy, Hold or Sell3:49
Tom Sangster runs you through who to Buy, Hold or Sell ahead of round 4.
ALL the ins and outs for round four of the 2013 NRL season.
Manly forward Richie Fa'aoso has been successful in his bid to downgrade his grade three dangerous contact challenge at the NRL judiciary and will sit out Thursday's clash with the Wests Tigers. Matt Utai is nursing neck and hamstring injuries but is expected to get the nod ahead of James Tedesco if cleared fit to play.
Roy Asotasi is expected to make his return from a one-match ban for failing to meet coach Michael Maguire's training standards. Beau Champion is still one week away. Reigning Dally M medallist Ben Barba is back for the Bulldogs after dealing with off-field issues.
Justin Hodges (hamstring) has been cleared to play. Siosaia Vave is expected to miss another week, despite returning from suspension.
Ben Pomeroy makes his return from a groin injury, while Isaac De Gois returns to the bench with the strong form of John Morris. The Dragons are unchanged from round two, with Daniel Vidot starting ahead of Chase Stanley.
Cameron Ciraldo is back for the Panthers. Ashley Harrison will need to pass a test later this week before being given the all-clear to return from last week's concussion. Brad Takairangi is also in doubt with a hamstring injury, with Steve Michaels expected to start in the centres.
Kurt Gidley (calf) remains injured for the Knights, with no time frame for his return yet announced. Terry Campese, out with a knee injury, is due back next week, but the club is remaining tight-lipped about when the five-eighth will be ready.
Nathan Friend (neck) could return to start for the Warriors this week. Coach Matt Elliott will make a call on Sunday. The struggling Warriors are dealing with the worst injury list in the NRL. Manu Vatuvei (ankle) is still one week away. The Cowboys are unchanged despite their dismal showing against Newcastle.
Luke O'Donnell's one-week suspension for failing to meet the training standards of coach Trent Robinson is good news for Aidan Guerra. Luke Kelly (hamstring) is expected to play, forcing Ben Roberts back to the bench.

Even if they’d just put out one album Fujiya & Miyagi would probably have still topped our list, but this year they managed two. Granted, the second was a reissue of Transparent Things, their breakthrough album, which came out in 2006 but really gained momentum in 2007 (the first time we saw them live was August 2007 at Loop Festival) so it’s an anniversary release of sorts. It didn’t get a vinyl release first time around which has been remedied with the reissue – it’s clear rather than black vinyl, so a transparent thing in more than just name. There was also an eponymous album – Fujiya & Miyagi was the collection of the three EPs that had been put out over 2016 and 2017 – But where Transparent Things hadn’t had a vinyl release originally, the EPs only came out on 12”, only coming out on cd / digital download upon the release of the album. It’s no understatement to say that it’s one of their strongest releases for years – from the self-deprecating lyrics on Extended Dance Mix to the throbbing electro of Serotonin Rushes, Fujiya & Miyagi are on top form right now.

With around 70 productions per season, the Theater Dortmund is one of the most prolific theatres in Europe. What's more, it stands out in the theatrical landscape of the Ruhr area thanks to its diversity. Comprising five sections, the theatre provides everyone with a love of the performing arts with a comprehensive programme that encompasses concerts, ballet, opera, plays and children's and young people's theatre across four venues.
Current programmes display a number of pieces which underline the courage and level of importance the theatre has when it comes to societal discussions. And the residents of Dortmund love all the different sections of their theatre. For example, the children's opera, which was opened in 2008, was funded exclusively through donations.
Recently, the Theater Dortmund has begun to frequently attract attention outside of the Metropolis Ruhr. In 2018, under the artistic direction of Kay Voges, a survey of critics voted it the best theatre in North Rhine-Westphalia for the third time in a row. Voges is a pioneer when it comes to the latest in stage technology.
In 2017, the multimedia mastermind behind the rejuvenation of the theatre was invited to the Berliner Theatertreffen – the most significant gathering of the German-speaking theatre industry – for his direction of the piece "Die Borderline Prozession". As a result, his productions, which blend the world of the theatre with video and computer aesthetics, have gained a substantial following and can no longer be called an "insider tip". What's more, this avant-garde approach works well with statements surrounding urgent, socio-political questions.
With his contemporary interpretations, new artistic director Heribert Germeshausen is promising to bring a breath of fresh air to the field of opera. Under his direction, the Metropolis Ruhr is set to receive a "RuhrOper 21" in Dortmund. Together with its visitors, this project aims to discover what the genre of opera could look like in the 21st century.
It may have been around a long time, but it's still young at heart. The RuhrBühnen can be proud of the knowledge that their ranks include a long-standing theatre specifically aimed towards children and young people in the shape of the Kinder- und Jugendtheater (KJT, children's and young people's theatre) in Dortmund. The KJT was founded in 1953. Though they may be aimed towards the younger members of society, there's nothing to stop adults from enjoying a visit to one or two of the productions on offer. As long as they don't block the view of the stage, of course. This is because Dortmund's ensemble is sure to offer a remarkable theatrical experience, even for those visitors who have long-since come of age.
