Recentfusion.com—Pokhara: Nepal Paragliding Pilot Club (NPPC) accused Bluesky Flying School (BFS) of doing negligence in the rescue of Shailesh Pahari of Pokhara Lakeside who lost his life during a paragliding training offered by that company at Sworek Maidan of Syangja on last Friday.
In this regard, NPPC has submitted a memorandum to Western Regional DIG Kamal Singh Bom and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) demanding a probe over the accident and to punish the culprit, on Wednesday.
NPPC claimed that the company has been operating illegally breaching the government rules and regulations and demanded to close such companies. NPPC president Khum Bahadur Gurung claimed that the BFS conducted the training in Sworek illegally though its authorized office is based in Bandipur of Tanahun.
It has been claimed that the company defied the government directives of flight-halt on that day of VVIP visit of Indian President Pranab Mukherjee and shifted its training location to Sworek from Bandipur without any prior information to government officials.
Pahari’s relative Narayan Paudel accused BFS of providing information of accident delay and took long time to take injured Pahari to hospital for treatment. Flights without proper security and rescue measures, involvement of illegal instructors without work permit in paragliding training also are the accusation against BFS by NPPC secretary Hari Bastola.
The club has accused training schools- BFS in Bandipur and Babu Adventure in Sworek of breaching government rules and not meeting minimum basic criteria as per the aviation regulations while providing training to the trainees. According to NPPC, both the training schools have been taking admission of students who have lacked minimum academic qualification and other criteria.
After an appeal by Nepal Air Sports Association (NAA), paragliding service on Tuesday remained closed to mourn the death of Pahari, in Pokhara. A three-member committee led by CAAN Deputy Director Subash Jha has been formed to probe the death of Pahari. BFS owner Narayan Parajuli has been taken in custody by police to investigate the case. It’s the 10th death during paragliding in Nepal but first one while on the training.

Emako Blue was supposed to be a star. She was beautiful and good-hearted. She was Monterey's best friend. She was the only girl Jamal cared about, the one who saw through his player act. She was the one who understood the burden of Eddie's family. She was the best singer anyone had ever heard, with a voice like vanilla incense, smoky and sweet. She was Savannah's rival, the one who wouldn't play by the rules. She was destined for greatness, already plucked from South Central Los Angeles by the record producers. She was only fifteen when she died.
Gr 7 Up-In Los Angeles, Monterey, Jamal, Eddie, and Emako follow the rules, avoid trouble, and plan to make something of themselves, despite the odds. Eddie and Emako are keenly aware of how difficult that can be; both live in South Central L.A. and have older brothers in prison. With her confident attitude, endearing nature, incredible singing voice, and exceptional beauty both inside and out, Emako makes a lasting impression on everyone. Monterey is thrilled to have her as a best friend. Jamal is in love with her. Eddie is glad to have a confidante who understands his family troubles. Emako is even nice to wealthy but unhappy Savannah, who is jealous of her. When Emako's brother is released from jail, she becomes the victim of a drive-by shooting meant for him. The teens' world is torn apart as they mourn their senseless loss. This short, succinct, and poignant story of friendship, family, and overwhelming sadness will leave some readers in tears. Each chapter is told from the point of view of one of Emako's friends; additionally, some chapters are told from Savannah's perspective. Steered by perceptive dialogue, the story takes readers from Emako's funeral, through flashbacks, to the moment she is killed, to the shock and sorrow that follow her death, bringing it full circle. Each character is well drawn and believable, especially Emako. The strength of this book is in its simplicity, as it was in Woods's The Red Rose Box (Putnam, 2002).-Diane P.

UofL Sex Scandal Leads to Class Action
The salacious allegations of sex parties at the University of Louisville’s basketball dormitories has taken a new twist as Kyle Hornback, a current student at UofL, filed suit against escort Katina Powell and Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ) Book Publishing, LLC. IBJ published Powell’s book, Breaking Cardinal Rules, which details her personal involvement in promoting and facilitating the prostitution of her two daughters and other women in her employ, allegedly for the benefit of UofL basketball players and recruits.
The complaint, filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court by Hornback’s attorney Nader George Shunnarah, seeks designation as a class action on behalf of all University of Louisville students. The suit seeks injunctive relief, declaratory relief, an accounting of the book’s profits to be held by a receiver and compensatory and punitive damages arising from the “oppressive, malicious, willful, wanton, and outrageous” conduct by Powell.
Hornback’s main contention is that as a result of Powell’s engagement, promotion, and advancement of prostitution, UofL students have suffered harm, including to their degrees, their ability to repay student loans, and their ability to find employment after graduation.
The complaint explains that all students have a contract with the University, whereby in exchange for their tuition, students are provided an education and a degree necessary to obtain employment and pay off student loans, and that Powell’s involvement in facilitating prostitution for basketball players and recruits has intentionally interfered with said contract, as well as the business relationship between the University and its students.
In addition to compensatory and punitive damages, the lawsuit demands a trial by jury. However, according to Jon Fleischaker, Chair of the First Amendment & Media Practice Group at Dinsmore & Shohl and counsel to the Kentucky Press Association and The Courier-Journal, “this is a silly lawsuit.” “Whatever you think of Katina Powell, she has a First Amendment right to write about whatever she wants and it appears that at least some of what she wrote is true,” Fleischaker told The Courier Journal.
Here at the Poppe Law Firm®, we have many UofL graduates and are diehard Cards fans and are extermely hurt by the allegations against the basketball team; however, not everything that hurts can be a lawsuit, and this looks like one of those times.

Experience the Benefits of Utopia Silver Gold and Silver Soap Bars (Product Review)
by Aria Milan
(NaturalNews) The allure of gold and silver has held humanity's captivation throughout history. The true reason behind this appeal, beyond the symbol of wealth, is not known but there have been many postulations. When one is familiar with the properties of silver, then it's easy to assume that the long held value of this precious metal is beholden to its medical uses and applications. Silver is a potent bacteria fighter and its use in dressing wounds dates back to Ancient Rome, reportedly by Pliny the Elder. Today it is used in hospitals as an anti-septic. If silver is prized for keeping illness away, gold's true value may lie in its ability to augment health. With these two concepts in mind, Utopia Silver Supplement Company presents Colloidal Gold and Colloidal Silver Bar Soaps that provide benefits beyond those of other body cleansers.
Utopia Silver Supplement Company is based out of Utopia, Texas and specializes in colloidal silver and colloidal gold health products. This is a small company that sells very effective products and has been targeted by the FDA for standing by the health claims of customers who've used their supplements and found them to be helpful in treating specific ailments. Mike Adams has recently covered this sweep operation by the FDA to "punish" various supplement companies that make truthful claims on the effectiveness of their products. You can read about Utopia Silver Supplement Company's long battle with the FDA in an article written by Tony Isaacs titled A Small Supplement Company's Fight for Health Freedom (http://www.naturalnews.com/023719.html) .
Colloidal Silver Skin and Scalp Bars
A soap that contains bacteria fighting properties is a great concept in theory, but not in application when one uses a conventional soap. Many antibacterial soaps on the market contain harmful chemicals, such as triclosan, that not only kill bacteria but can kill the user over time. This may sound like an alarmist statement but to a person with an overburdened immune system, it is not. There is a naturally effective alternative to chemical antibacterial soaps that is safe for everyday use -- Colloidal Silver Bar Soaps.
Silver has been prized throughout history not only for its use in currency but also medically as a powerful anti-septic. People in the early 1900's used to drop silver coins in milk bottles to keep the milk fresh. Silver was used to stave off infection during World War I before the widespread use of antibiotics. Many test results show that silver is deadly to over 650 single-celled organisms without having a toxic effect on humans.
Utopia Silver has taken its colloidal silver and formulated it into a soap bar. The colloidal silver used in this product is made with .9999 silver in pure deionized water from the Edwards Aquifer of Texas and contains no gelatins, no animal proteins, no salts and no nitrates. The nanometer sized particles provide a silver surface area that allows for maximum antibacterial action. This bar soap makes a great antibacterial hand cleanser without the carcinogens found in many commercial hand soaps. According to company owner Ben Taylor, this soap can also be used to brush your teeth and gums -- it eliminates plaque and gum disease and does not contain fluoride.
Colloidal Gold Skin and Scalp Bars
Gold is the ultimate precious metal and has been coveted for its use in jewelry. But its true value may lie in its health benefits. Dating back to the Egyptian use of this metal for its anti-aging properties, it was also cherished for its mental focus enhancing abilities and as a mood up-lifter. According to Utopia Silver, a recent study demonstrated that ingesting colloidal gold liquid increased a subject's IQ by four points. The colloidal gold contained in these soap bars are made with 24 karat gold and is the same colloidal gold that's being used in the formulation of some of Europe's most elite anti-aging cosmetics and facial creams.
Both the colloidal silver and colloidal gold soaps also contain:
* Plant minerals derived from prehistoric humic shale - Provides 75 essential trace minerals to be absorbed through the skin.
* Aloe Vera - Aids the skin's natural ability to heal tissue and rejuvenate skin cells.
* Essential Oils of Vanilla, Lavender, and Juniper - These oils help to relieve nervous tension and uplift mood.
* Other Ingredients: Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Palmate, Castor Seed Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Glycerin Sorbitol, Sorbitan Oleate, and Glycerin Soja
To achieve optimum therapeutic benefit of the soap bars, the company recommends massaging it gently in to the skin, hair, or scalp and leaving it on for 5 minutes before rinsing. This allows for the maximum absorption of the minerals and aloe vera. Some may argue against the safety of absorbing silver or gold. Both gold and silver are non-toxic and gold has been approved as a food additive by the EU.
I recommend the colloidal gold soap for the potential beauty benefits that it offers. The colloidal silver soaps make a safe alternative to antibacterial hand soaps. These don't lather as well as other body soaps, such as Dr. Bronner's bar soaps, but they still work well as a full body cleanser.
Utopia Silver Supplement Company has put together a products package for Natural News readers that is a good value for its colloidal products. According to company owner Ben Taylor:
When Natural News readers buy a bottle of Advanced Colloidal Silver and both of the colloidal silver and colloidal gold soap bars, they will receive an extra bottle of colloidal silver and a bottle of colloidal gold -- a $48 value. In other words, for $35.90 (plus shipping), the purchaser will also get $83.90 worth of products. Plus, Utopia Silver has created a discount code just for Natural News readers which will give them a 15% discount on any items not on sale -- forever!

Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall will today visit the set of the iconic BBC family entertainment sci-fi show, Doctor Who as part of the shows landmark 50th anniversary celebrations.
The royal couple, who are due to become grandparents in two weeks when Charles’ son Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton have their first child, will visit the famous set in Cardiff, and may even get to confront one of the Doctor’s most notorious enemies, the Daleks!
This will be the first royal visit to the set since it moved to the Roath Lock studios last year, and to help mark the occasion the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will be welcomed by show stars Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman.
Also on hand to greet the couple will be showrunner Steven Moffatt along with a selection of production crew.
The Prince and Duchess will be given a tour of the studios which will include a stop at the show’s production office where they will get to meet the costume designers, storyboard artist, locations manager, graphics artist, set decorator and production designer along with examples of all their hard work.
Of course no tour of the set would be complete without a trip onto the famous TARDIS, which the Royal couple will be treated to, as well as being introduced to a few of the show’s most notorious baddies including a Weeping Angel, a Cyberman, an Ood and of course a Dalek with the voice artist that bought them to life, Nicholas Briggs, on hand to make it seem that much more real.
The Prince and the Duchess will also be shown a demonstration of green-screen special effects by SFX and some of the Skillset apprentices training on the show, and other productions made at the studio.
Doctor Who will return to BBC One for its 50th anniversary special on Saturday, November 23.

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Affirmative Action: Doing What Is `Just'
SEVERAL years ago, Sandra Day O'Connor said that the United States Supreme Court had not yet reached a consensus on affirmative action.
At the time, the justices, including Justice O'Connor, were sharply divided over whether race-conscious programs that favored blacks and other minorities in the workplace were addressing past discriminatory practices or reinforcing racism by mandating preferential employment of blacks over whites.
The court swung in both directions, supporting certain laws and agreements that generally addressed inequity but striking down others that resulted in reverse discrimination against white workers. Opposing forces clashed on basic philosophy.
The Reagan administration generally took the position that affirmative action needed to be "color-blind" and address individual biases case-by-case, rather than grapple with group discrimination stemming from historical disadvantage.
The liberal wing of the Supreme Court took the position that, in the words of Associate Justice Harry Blackmun, "in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently."
Conservatives charged that such favoritism reinforced the discriminatory "separate but equal" policies of the first half of the 20th century and promoted racism rather than eradicating it.
Today, the high court is no closer to consensus over affirmative action than it was four or five years ago.
Despite a clear conservative tilt - as a result of judicial appointments by former President Ronald Reagan - race-related remedies have not been ruled out, as many had predicted. Neither have they been cemented in. It's unclear whether President Bush's replacement for retiring Justice Brennan will tip the scales.
The justices' stance perhaps mirrors that of the general public. For the most part, whites believe that affirmative action has done its job and has afforded ample work opportunities for minorities, according to national surveys. Blacks say discrimination in jobs and pay still exists, say these same public-opinion soundings.

Kazakhstan and Türkiye have inked a military cooperation plan for 2024, strengthening their bilateral ties in various strategic sectors.
A statement released by the Defence Ministry of Kazakhstan revealed that the comprehensive document was signed following negotiations between Kazakh Colonel General Ruslan Zhaksylykov and Turkish Minister of National Defense Yashar Guler in Ankara.
During the discussions, both parties delved into the current state and future prospects of their mutual interests.
“As a result of the meeting, a military cooperation plan between Türkiye and Kazakhstan for 2024 was signed,” the ministry said.
The ministry noted that the signed document solidifies the strong historical and cultural ties that bind Kazakhstan and Türkiye.
“Currently, interaction has been established between the defense departments in the fields of military science, education and combat training,” the ministry said, adding that military-technical cooperation is being established.
The Kazakh delegation also visited the united company Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS), which produces aviation equipment and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Türkiye and Kazakhstan have agreed to boost political, economic, trade and defense cooperation under a joint memorandum signed on May 10, 2022. The two countries also signed 15 agreements covering defense industry, military intelligence, trade and agriculture.
On May 11, 2022, the Kazakhstan Engineering national company and TUSAS signed an agreement approving the joint production of Anka drones in Kazakhstan.
In accordance with the agreement, the Turkish side will transfer technology and train personnel for the maintenance and repair of Anka drones to be used by the Kazakh Armed Forces.
The Anka drone inducted into the Turkish Air Force in 2013 can carry out various intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions with a flight duration of 30 hours. It can carry 200 kilograms of multiple surveillance and signal equipment. Developed in 2010, Anka has evolved into a modular platform with synthetic aperture radar, ground moving target indicator radar, and a modified radome structure incorporating airborne satellite communications antenna, which provides secure, high-speed beyond-line-of-sight communications. The drone can be used to detect, identify and track stationary or moving ground targets.
A country of slightly more than 19 million, Kazakhstan has the second-largest military power in Central Asia, behind Uzbekistan, and ranked 63 out of 145 countries, according to Global Firepower’s 2023 report. Rankings are based on the strength of individual combat arms, the number of servicemen, the length of a country’s borders, and the availability of oil reserves and labor.
At the same time, officials in Kazakhstan are working on upgrading the country’s military equipment, part of which was left over from the Soviet Union when it dissolved in December 1991.
According to Global Firepower data, Kazakhstan’s army is equipped with 300 tanks, 1,200 armored fighting vehicles, 407 rocket projectors, 238 military aircraft, 15 military naval vessels, and 22 combat helicopters.

Text description provided by the architects. A portion of the ground floor in an industrial building was renovated into a co-working space that consisted of small office rooms, individuals’ dedicated desks, and a series of shared spaces including a meeting room, a drink bar, and lounges. As the given space had a high ceiling, we partially made it into two stories while considering the reach of natural light to the deep area. The floating lounge or “cloud seats” was one of unique design features that made the best use of the ceiling height and created a dynamic scene in the space.
The afternoon sun light softly comes into the lounge through a lace curtain, creating a relaxing environment.
We purposefully used some outdoor construction materials for interior space. For example, lightweight concrete blocks were laid to the full ceiling height with patterns in order to create feature walls at important shared spaces; red bricks were paved for both exterior and interior spaces blurring the boundary and dealing with the level difference in between; and concrete columns standing in the middle of the site were shaved off and their original rough surfaces were exposed. These design decisions were certainly made to create a kind of taste, but it also reflected our design philosophy to resist the transient reality of commodified office environment. We used outdoor construction materials and their tectonic expression, and tried to create a stable identity to this project and anchor it to this specific location.
The space provided various types of working environment for the members to choose from: such as, an enclosed room, a duplex, with a private garden, and a desk at an open floor.
The “cloud seats” is a relaxing lounge next to the drink bar. It was formed by steel members and covered by OSB boards, and raised to the upper floor level by a number of supporting steel columns. Through the design process, we tried to make this object visually detached from the space and float in the air. Firstly, we gave a unique form to the object, a zigzag passage with six finger-like seats attached irregularly. Its form refused to merge into the dominant interior perspective framed by the modernism factory building. Secondly, the edges of OSB boards were cut in sharp angle and joined perfectly without showing material thickness. The tectonic reality and construction process were purposefully hid, which visually detached the object from the site context. Thirdly, the columns were irregularly placed and painted in four different colors. They were dissociated from each other, and thus the whole object visually lost structural coherence. It was meant to reinforce the idea of floating. Fourthly, The bottom of the floating object was finished by mirror-effect material. Its reflection hid the structural reality and the floating object was dissolved in the air. All these designs made the “cloud seats” float in the air and detached from the working section, and created a relaxing environment.
The use of such design elements as water, greenery, concrete, and red brick brought an outdoor walking experience into the interior working environment.

I teach modern art and visual culture for both the first year course (Prelims) and papers taken in subsequent years. At graduate level, I teach a course on the interaction between modernism and mass culture from the later 19th century to the present. In all my teaching I encourage students to engage as closely as possible with actual works of art, regularly leading visits to collections in Oxford and beyond. I welcome student interest in a wide range of media, from painting and sculpture to contemporary video and installation art.
My research focuses primarily on European modernisms. My first book, Matisse and the Subject of Modernism, was published by Princeton University Press in 2004, and recently I curated an exhibition of Paul Gauguin’s prints at the Princeton University Art Museum. The accompanying catalogue, Gauguin’s Paradise Remembered: The Noa Noa Prints, examined the role played by reproduction in Gauguin’s understanding of French colonialism in Tahiti. I have published essays in the Oxford Art Journal, Art Bulletin, Burlington Magazine, Gazette des Beaux-Arts, Artforum International, Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide and in various edited volumes.
I am currently pursuing two new projects. In the first I explore the question of artistic belatedness in French art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a particular emphasis on the work of the Neo-Impressionists. The second is a study of the politics of embodied spectatorship in the work of the 19th-century British painter Ford Madox Brown.

Live Coverage: Delta Countdown Under Way
A 12-story Delta II rocket is poised for launch from California early today as NASA counts down toward the planned launch of a national weather satellite that was seriously damaged six years ago in a manufacturing mishap.
The huge mobile service tower at Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in central California was rolled back away from the sleek blue-and-white United Launch Alliance Delta II and its payload late Tuesday.
The Delta and the meteorological marvel are slated to blast off during a 10-minute window that will open at 5:22 a.m. EST, and the weather forecast looks good to go. Click to enlarge and save the beautiful tower rollback image captured by Carleton Bailie of United Launch Alliance. Then click the enlarged image to get an ever bigger, more detailed view.
Live NASA TV launch coverage of the $564-million mission will be webcast here in The Flame Trench beginning at 3:00 a.m. EST. NASA's George Diller of Kennedy Space Center will provide launch commentary that will continue through spacecraft separation 65 minutes and 36 seconds after liftoff.
Simply click on the NASA TV box on the righthand side of this page to launch our NASA TV viewer and live coverage of the ULA's second launch of 2009.
The NOAA-N Prime spacecraft is owned and is to be operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA's latest polar-orbiting weather satellite has a conspicuous past.
The spacecraft was seriously damaged in September 2003 when it toppled to the factory floor during an operation aimed at turning it from a vertical to a horizontal position.
An investigation led by current Acting NASA Administrator Christopher Scolese found that the 14-foot-tall satellite -- which weighs about 3,100 pounds -- was not properly bolted to a turnover cart before the operation began.
You can checkout the mishap report as well as an Office of Safety & Mission Assurance critique here: NOAA-N Prime Mishap Report.
Built by Lockheed Martin, the NOAA-N Prime satellite is expected to improve weather forecasting and U.S. search-and-rescue operations while keeping tabs on environmental events around the world.
The spacecraft the fifth and last of a series of five polar-orbiting environmental operational satellites with improved imaging and sounding capabilities. NOAA-N Prime will collect meteorological data that will be used by the National Weather Service to develop forecasts. The images and a data from the satellites are used by meteorologists on television news around the world.

The second letter begins with a rumination on the tedium of writing about sex and the difficulty of driving a middle course between vulgar language and "mincing metaphors and affected circumlocutions".

Let Us Be Your Partner in Recovery
Miracles In Action provides online addiction and mental health treatment options to allow individuals access to care from the comfort and safety of home.
Miracles in Action provides outpatient treatment which can be provided in-person, online telehealth or as a hybrid program.
IOP In-Person/Online Telehealth/Hybrid Programs
As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Miracles in Action began exclusively offering telehealth groups in March of 2020. Now, as the threat of disease transmission subsides, we are offering hybrid groups for those seeking in-person options. Our telehealth groups are still available for those who are not yet comfortable with in-person groups.
Our staff continues to come into our office to serve those with individual requirements. We are following all CDC recommended guidelines for everyone we meet face-to-face. Our infection protocols for providing safe on-site delivery of services will include actions such as mask requirements, monitoring hand washing, taking temperatures daily, physical distancing, and keeping our facilities extra clean.
Our goal remains to limit physical contact as much as possible for all clients and staff while continuing to remain socially and spiritually connected through our community and programs. Despite these challenging circumstances, we will continue to safely and effectively provide compassionate and individualized addiction treatment services.
Addiction treatment is now more important than ever. Addiction rates have skyrocketed as a result of the global pandemic, with overdoses and addiction-related deaths at unprecedented numbers.

How does drug addiction treatment work?
Addiction affects everyone differently. As such, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to drug addiction treatment. Instead, the process begins with a personal assessment and evaluation. During this initial meeting, our drug addiction treatment specialists ask a series of questions designed to assess an individual’s level of addiction and recovery needs. Once the assessment is complete, our specialists recommend a personalized treatment program. This program may involve a combination of proven addiction treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, family therapy, stress management, and more. Most often, our patients begin by attending treatment several days a week at one of our facilities. As they progress through recovery, the number of times they need to visit the facility for treatment may gradually decrease.
If I go to rehab, will I have to live at the rehab facility?
Whether or not you will need to live full-time at a rehab facility will depend on the specific details of your situation. For those struggling with very severe substance use disorders, inpatient (or residential) treatment may be recommended. Others, however, may benefit from an outpatient (or non-residential) rehab program.
What is outpatient treatment?
Outpatient treatment simply means that you do not live full-time at the rehab facility where you receive addiction treatment services. Instead, you visit the facility several times a week for several hours at a time to attend therapy, take part in support group meetings, and receive other treatments specifically tailored to you and your recovery. You then return home to sleep and manage outside responsibilities, such as going to school, working, or taking care of your child. Our outpatient treatment programs include Drug & Alcohol Addiction recovery along with Mental Health Disorders.
How long does drug addiction treatment take?
The amount of time you will need to attend drug addiction treatment will depend on numerous factors, including the severity of your substance use disorder, whether or not you have a co-occurring mental or behavioral health condition, the amount of support you receive at home, your risk of relapse, and much more. Generally speaking, recovery is a lifelong process. At Miracles in Action, we provide ongoing support and comprehensive aftercare services to our patients. No matter where you are in your recovery, you can count on our team to be there for you every step of the way.
Miracles in Action offers online IOP programs, including group and individual therapy sessions online via telehealth platforms for those who need substance use and mental health treatment services. Evening classes, individual therapy, and group therapy sessions are available from the comfort and safety of home.
We are committed to ensuring the availability of compassionate substance use and mental health treatment to those who need it.
“Miracles in Action provides a warm, loving, and family feel to the recovery process. I can say that I am very fortunate to have witnessed the miracles that take place here. The management and clients' past and present continue to make this place a success. Thank you Miracles in Action for all that you do. ”- A.M.

The presence of chiral quaternary centers in numerous biologically active natural products highlights their importance in the field of the synthetic organic chemistry where their construction still remains a challenge. In the last years, important improvements have been achieved in the generation of quaternary stereogenic centers through the polar reactivity by carbon-carbon bond formation unlike the radical transformations that have been far less successful. Strategies involving both single and multiple C-C bond-forming events per chemical step have been developed for which sensitive reagents and careful temperature control are typically required. In the last years our interest has been focused in the field of difunctionalization of alkenes. The addition of CF3, N3 or P(O)Ph2 radicals to the double bond of the tosyl acrylamides triggers an one-pot cascade reaction involving trifluoromethylation, azidation or phosphonylation, aryl migration and desulfonylation affording α-aryl-β-substituted amides. In this case, the sulfone group acts as a traceless directing group.
Now we have developed the enantioselective synthesis of α-aryl-β-substituted amides with a quaternary center from (SS)-N-aryl-N-(arylsulfinyl)methacrylamides by photoredox catalysis through a cascade reaction involving addition of a sulfonyl radical to the double bond, 1,5- transposition of an aryl group and elimination of the sulfoxide group. This group directs the transformation in an enantioselective manner and leaves no trace of itself by the time the cascade has come to an end.

Saul Bass: A Life In Film & Design, the first book devoted to the work of Saul Bass, is a comprehensive monograph on one of the greatest graphic designers of the past century. Alongside Paul Rand, Bass reinvented American corporate branding, though he is best remembered for his groundbreaking film title sequences: "With his work in titles, Saul would elevate the opening of Hollywood films to the status of an art form."
The title sequences and posters for Otto Preminger's The Man With The Golden Arm and Anatomy Of A Murder were revolutionary. For each film, Bass created a deceptively simple graphic silhouette: a hand and forearm for The Man With The Golden Arm, and the outline of a body for Anatomy Of A Murder. His poster and title sequence for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo maintained the concept of a single motif (in this case, a spiral), though Bass achieved a kaleidoscopic effect in the animated opening titles.
Bass also designed the title sequence for Hitchcock's Psycho, and he received an additional credit as 'pictorial consultant'. The extent of his contribution to the film has been in dispute ever since: Bass drew storyboards for the shower scene, and later claimed that he was largely responsible for filming the sequence, though Hitchcock's other collaborators have refuted this. (Bass's sketches are reproduced in The Art Of Movie Storyboards; for more discussion of his contribution, see Stephen Rebello's Alfred Hitchcock & The Making Of Psycho, Bill Krohn's Hitchcock At Work, and Psycho In The Shower.)
In the Bass/Hitchcock debate, the book sides squarely with Bass - "It is time for Saul's contribution to the shower scene to be acknowledged" - even suggesting that he had artistic control over the scene: "After the sequence was shot, Hitchcock insisted on two inserts... Trusting Hitchcock's vision Saul agreed." In a long footnote, the authors rightly criticise Hitchcock for downplaying Bass' contribution to the film, though they're less critical of Bass' ambiguous claims of creative input.
The book, written by Pat Kirkham and designed by Bass' daughter Jennifer, includes a preface by Martin Scorsese, who explains how Bass could "penetrate the heart of a movie and find its secret. That's what he did with Vertigo and those spirals that just keep endlessly forming - that's the madness at the heart of the picture, the beautiful nightmare vortex". Kirkham interviewed Bass for Sight & Sound magazine (February 1994) and wrote a thirty-page article on Bass and Hitchcock for the journal West 86th (Spring 2011); she also co-edited the magnificent History Of Design.

Contemporary Christian music (or CCM-and occasionally "inspirational music") is a genre of modern popular music which is lyrically focused on matters concerned with the Christian faith. It formed as those affected by the 1960s Jesus movement revival began to express themselves in a more contemporary style of music than the hymns, Gospel and Southern gospel music that was prevalent in the church at the time. Today, the term is typically used to refer to pop, rock, or praise & worship styles.
The Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album is an honor presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards, to recording artists for quality albums in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) genre

Chamblee, Doraville and the Atlanta Regional Commission are teaming up to develop an economic and transportation plan for Buford Highway as part of Livable Centers Initiative, but the city of Brookhaven is absent from the study group.
The reason? Brookhaven already has such a plan in place.
The Buford Highway Improvement Plan and Economic Development Strategy was approved by Brookhaven City Council in 2014. The city hired The Jaeger Company and Urban Partners to develop the plan with the help of citizens, elected officials and city staff.
“We weren’t able to get an LCI grant because we already have our Buford Highway improvement plan in place,” said city government spokesperson Ann Marie Quill, who said Brookhaven’s city manager will attend meetings when possible to keep up with discussions over the new plan.
Brookhaven’s plan will be “grandfathered” into the Livable Centers Initiative, or LCI, plan when Chamblee, Doraville and the ARC complete its study. “The Buford Highway LCI will incorporate Brookhaven’s existing plan combined with what Chamblee and Doraville do,” said Jim Jaquish, spokesperson for the ARC.
Councilmember Joe Gebbia said Brookhaven should be part of overall planning for the highway corridor that runs through the three cities.
“There is no way you can have a conversation about Buford Highway without including Brookhaven – this has to become a tri-city effort,” Gebbia added. “This is a hiccup.”
A community meeting was held Oct. 12 at the Canton House on Buford Highway to bring together people to discuss what they would like to see on busy corridor known for its international cuisine and as home to thousands of immigrants. Planning for the LCI is expected to continue through February 2017.
“This study supplements existing plans in both cities (Chamblee and Doraville) and will help develop a plan and process to revitalize Buford Highway, addressing connectivity, affordable housing and pedestrian safety,” according to the study’s website at buhimasterplan.com.

The new phenomenon of digital nomads is constantly increasing and concerns a new concept of global mobility in the global job market. Since the beginning of the pandemic, many companies have expanded the possibility of working from home for security reasons for many professionals, linked to companies by contracts of employment or freelance work.
These workers are an addition to the many already-existing professionals who are not physically constrained by their job or employers as to where they work. These professionals are thus free to travel (compatibly with restrictions related to pandemic needs) and establish their temporary residence in different countries, according to their needs and life expectations. But how do European laws on immigration and work authorizations in the countries of destination of these foreign professionals respond to the modern global mobility of workers?
In Portugal, for example, there are various entry programs with long-term visas that entitle the holder to temporary residence permits, not necessarily linked to the transfer of one’s residence, for stays of up to one year (provides that one has means of support from abroad). In addition, a particular visa called D2 allows you to enter as a self-employed person or as remotely-working employee for foreign companies, demonstrating one’s link with the professional community of the country by opening a bank account, requesting a VAT number for the conduct of one’s business, and a business plan with the intention of exercising one’s own business in the country.
Even more cutting edge is Spain. The new Spanish remote worker visa was created for foreign employees from countries not included in the non-European Economic Area. Moreover, People with EU passports or from Schengen countries can already work remotely in the country for less than 6 months per year without the need to officially register. For those arriving from non-EU countries, the new digital nomad visa allows those who are employed in non-Spanish companies or have an income with less than 20% earned from Spanish companies to apply for it. The Spanish digital nomad visa becomes a perfect option for people who work remotely as freelancers or entrepreneurs with multiple clients. It will also benefit people employed full-time with foreign companies, with the ability to work from home or abroad.
What about Italy? What programs and incentives does Italy offer for digital nomads? Currently, incentives are provided from the fiscal point of view for those who move their residence to Italy from abroad and carry out a professional activity, being able to take advantage of a deduction of up to 90% of the taxable income produced in Italy. Unfortunately, immigration legislation does not yet meet the request for greater flexibility in the authorization of entry and work in Italy of smart-working professionals. The type of visa and residence permit from which these workers can benefit is still the visa and residence permit for self-employment, linked to the following minimum requirements:
• Availability of an entry quota as established in the annual Flow Decree;
• Request for entry within the time limits established by the decree (therefore it is not yet possible to request this type of visa at any time of the year);
• Availability of economic resources adequate for the exercise of the specific activity in Italy, already present in an Italian bank account, or alternatively a professional work contract with a client based in Italy.
The application for these types of visa requires the assistance of legal experts who are familiar with the terms and requirements of the applications for entry into Italy.

I added this 1" body lift to my 3" suspension lift. Now i have more clearance for my 35s. Very easy to install at home with basic tools and you cant go wrong with the price.

The 3" body lift looks great but the problem was that the kit did not come with directions of any sort to say what pieces go and where. Also the kit came with 1 bracket missing for the rear and 1 bracket for the front missing. Along with 4 bolts missing for the spacers. Very dissappointed with that part. Mechanics had to make there own bracket. Lift looks great otherwise
Reviewed by keith h (PUNTA GORDA, FL) — Nov 09, 2014 10:32 AM
I like how my truck sits now. It already had a 2" leveling kit on it. I put oversize tires on it and they rubbed before the lift kit. The photos on the instructions were a bit grainy and hard to read. Which is why I gave it 3 star on installation and quality. It took a day and a half to install as I am picky on how my truck looks. I would recommend this product over all though.

The Seebodenspitze rises above the S. Valentino Lake in the upper Venosta Valley.
The mountain is particularly popular, because you do not need to start your hike in the valley, as it can be easily reached with the gondola lift from S. Valentino/St. Valentin up to Malga S. Valentino/Haider Alm and therefore ascending up a height of 2,100 m. From Malga S. Valentino through a sparse pine forest and across grazing grounds on the initially only slightly ascending, then fairly steep climb no. 10 up to the “Schwarzer Kofel”. Further across large rocks up the ridge and from there, the wide crest leads to the summit. From the summit, you can see the entire mountain landscape of the upper Inntal Valley and upper Venosta Valley. The descent leads across a small detour via the so-called “Three Lakes” (Drei Seen in German) and then back again to Malga S. Valentino.
Where to eat
In our guest house, we spoil you with delicacies from the region. We are also equipped for festivities of a special kind in the midst of untouched mountain natures (vintage, birthday celebrations ...).
- You're traveling a distance of 4 miles on this moderate trail. The hike is therefore not too long. The average length of all hikes in South Tyrol is 7 miles.
- Elevated between 7067 ft and 9321 ft, the hike is among the 5 highest elevated hikes in Italy. You're facing an uphill climb of 748 vertical meters on this hike.
- You shouldn’t forget to bring your hiking boots. There are some sections on the trail where sturdy footwear is required. There are places to buy beverages and food along the track. However it’s always recommended to bring enough water and food along with you.


Zapata Hawks tip drill interception tops weeks six of high school football
ZAPATA COUNTY, TX . (KGNS) - It’s another chance to crown our top play from the previous weekend in high school football in our King of the Mountain voting.
For week six we head over to Zapata and this tip drill interception from the Hawks in their dominating win over Hidalgo.
It looked like the Pirates would cut into the home teams lead deep in the red zone but this pass tossed to the end zone tipped by Brandon Fuentes and then corralled by Danny Ramos would give the momentum back to Zapata on their way to a 56 to 14 win.
The question is that play better than our two-time defending champion from LBJ
Back in week four it was Ivan Gonzalez with the heads up play to keep rolling over the defender for what would be the game’s only touchdown.
The choice is now up to the viewers, head over to the KGNS Sports Facebook or X to find the link to the poll.
Voting will be up until Wednesday evening with the winner announced later that night in the 10 p.m. sportscast.

Finding Your Next Arcade Machine: A Buyer’s Guide
Arcade games are one of the earliest forms of video gaming, and you can still spot numerous machines in entertainment centers and amusement parks inviting you to give them a go.And why won’t they be there? Arcade machines are beloved by all ages and they’re pretty low-maintenance — just set them up and let the good times roll. Arcade machines are a great choice for people who want to build an all-inclusive gaming room, offering guests a fun activity when they’re over and giving you a way to blow off some steam at the end of a long day.To help make your life a little more fun, let’s take a look at some great arcade machines in 2023. We’ve also included a buyer’s guide to help you identify the right one for your needs, so take a look!
Pop-A-Shot Basketball Arcade Game
Barrington Billiards Arcade Machine
Mortal Kombat Arcade Machine
Top Upright Design
Hall of Games Arcade Machine
Fun for the Whole Family
Ms. Pac-Man Arcade Machine
Top Countertop Machine
Factors To ConsiderThe words “arcade machine” evoke images of vintage cabinets with classic controls and memories of lining up at the local hang-out. Consider the following factors if you’re interested in adding one of these awesome machines to your game room:
GamesThe number and type of games are the first things to consider when it comes to any arcade machine. If you’re after a specific game or series, there’s a good chance that there are some dedicated machines available, but a multi-game arcade machine can provide you with hundreds, and sometimes even thousands, of games to play. Some of these arcade machines even allow you to download additional games as well.
Screen sizeThe screen size can vary from one arcade machine to another, and it doesn’t always depend on the type of machine you’re using — some countertop models have bigger screens than a traditional upright cabinet, for example. A good rule of thumb is that the larger the screen, the better your game will appear on it. If you want to enjoy your game to the fullest, choose an arcade machine with a fairly large screen.
Coin-operationRemember the days when you had to purchase coins to play your favorite games? Some arcade machines still feature coin-operation (particularly commercial ones), but ones without coin-operation can be great for having friends over and staying up all night playing games for free. Some arcade machines allow you to choose between play-for-free and play-for-coin modes, and the play-for-coin mode can let you use the machine to earn some money, especially if it’s set up in a restaurant or other public area. When you’re playing yourself or want to throw a free game night, simply turn on the play-for-free mode — no more lugging coins around in your pocket!
DimensionsMake sure you consider the dimensions of the arcade machine, as this will help you determine whether a cabinet will fit in the space you want to place it. Measuring the available space beforehand will help you choose a compatible model.
Types of Arcade MachinesThere are many different types of arcade machines. Some house thousands of games inside a single cabinet, while others are custom-built for a single game. We’ve listed the most common types of arcade machines below:
Upright cabinetsUpright arcade cabinets are usually made of metal or wood. They’re about six to seven feet tall, with a display screen at eye level and a control panel set slightly above the waist. They also have a marquee that overhangs the monitor for a secluded appearance. These arcade machines are available in various shapes, from a simple perpendicular box to a complicated asymmetrical form. The controls are usually a joystick or trackpad with action buttons, and some variations have two joysticks instead of buttons.
Table or sit-down cabinetsThese arcade machines come in different shapes, including cocktail tables, candy cabinets, or deluxe cabinets. Cocktail cabinets are shaped like coffee tables, with screens set inside and controls placed along the edges. These arcade machines are smaller in size, but they take up more floor space. Candy cabinets received their name because they resemble hard plastic candy, and they’re positioned in a way that the player can play games for extended periods while sitting on a chair or the included stool. Deluxe cabinets are more commonly used for vehicle or fighting games, and their controls usually resemble that of the vehicle controls or weapons used in the game.
Countertop cabinetsThese arcade machines are a smaller version of upright arcade cabinets — they’re big enough to house the screen and controls and are placed on top of a counter or tabletop. You can spot these in bars or restaurants, but they’re equally as popular for personal use.
Our top pick is a departure from the arcade video games we all know and love. According to the manufacturer, the Pop-A-Shot Basketball Arcade Game is the original basketball arcade machine that took the world by storm — and for good reason. It boasts 16 different game modes with 6 audio effects for hours of fun, and you can toggle through these options on its easy-to-use control panel.This arcade machine comes with two hoops and seven balls so you can challenge your friends and family members. Its infrared sensors make sure that each and every one of your shots is counted and shows up on its electronic scoreboard, and you can adjust the entire machine’s height depending on your needs. You can also fold this arcade machine up for storage when it’s not in use, and thanks to its high-quality design that offers tons of fun, it’s top of our list.
- Sturdy, adjustable design
- Comes with two hoops and seven balls
- Wheels offer portability
- Sensors can be faulty
Not a fan of video games? Our next pick is a bowl and bounce game from Barrington Billiards that might be up your alley. This arcade game is a tabletop skeeball bowling game in which you roll the ball off the end of the runway and try to land it inside the point slots. A metal cage on top of the point slots prevents balls from bouncing off the table, and its design returns balls automatically to keep the fun going.This arcade machine may be a classic, but the manufacturer has given it an attractive, modern look. This bowl and bounce set boasts an oak finish with a rustic design, integrated sound effects, an electronic scoreboard, and flashy lights. Its metal legs provide all of the support that this arcade machine needs, and it comes with four balls included to get things rolling.
- Durable, high-quality construction
- A modern twist on a classic game
- Cage to prevent balls from bouncing out
- Very high price
This Arcade1Up Mortal Komat Arcade Machine can be a great addition to any game room. This mini cabinet offers you three games from the classic Mortal Kombat series — Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat. The cabinet itself features the iconic game’s original artwork, letting you bask in the glory days of arcade gaming, and it features a 17-inch colorful LCD screen so you can enjoy the game to its fullest.This arcade machine includes joysticks and buttons for up to two players, letting you compete against your friends and see who’s the top dog. You can still enjoy this arcade machine by yourself, though, and that’s because you can battle against the computer to hone your skills. Our favorite part about this arcade machine might just be your favorite part too — it doesn’t require any coins to play!
- Large LCD screen
- Cabinet boasts original game art
- Coinless, two-player design
- Assembly can be tricky
If you or someone in your life loves basketball, this indoor basketball arcade machine can be a great choice. The Hall of Games Basketball Arcade Machine comes with six basketballs and two hoops to shoot into, and it features an electronic scoreboard with eight different game modes and sound effects for that authentic arcade feeling.Unlike regular video games, this arcade machine lets you stretch your muscles while using it, making it a great option if you have a little baller who always wants to be outside shooting hoops. Its highly durable frame is made from steel and features wheels for added portability, and the whole thing folds up to make storing this arcade machine as easy as a lay-up.
- Durable, corrosion-resistant steel design
- Built-in LED scoring system
- Hand pump included with six balls
- Assembly can be time-consuming
If your gaming den doesn’t have enough space for a full-size machine, then consider this countertop model from Arcade1Up. The Ms. Pac-Man Counter-Cade is a 4-in-1 arcade cabinet featuring such popular titles as Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, Galaga, and Dig Dug II.This arcade machine may be smaller than a standard upright arcade cabinet (and cost a fraction of the price), but it still delivers an authentic experience thanks to its 8-inch LCD color screen and full-size controls. Unlike large, upright cabinets, this arcade machine comes pre-assembled, making it easy to set up and start having fun right away, and also includes a 90-day warranty in case you run into any issues — and we’re not talking about the ghosts you’re trying to escape from as you munch tiny dots across the screen!

- More affordable than upright arcade cabinets
- Includes four classic games
- Small screen size

COP’s De Lima ‘frightened’ by resignations of top cops
Congress of the People’s (COP) Vernon De Lima says he’s “frightened” by the resignation of Commissioner of Police Dwayne Gibbs and his deputy Jack Ewatski. De Lima, a prominent attorney, said Jack Warner’s appointment as the Minister of National Security should have never occurred in the first place.
“The COP’s position has always been Mr Jack Warner should never have been a member of Cabinet at all. “This is a very serious thing,” he said. He believes Warner is now aligning the security forces under him, and said he cannot understand how someone with “so much hanging over his head” could have been made minister of national security.
“It is frightening…look at the way these two men have resigned,” De Lima said yesterday. He said the COP protested against the Manning administration for the same reason and he believes there is little difference in what is happening now. And president of the non-governmental organisation Fixin’ T&T, Kirk Waithe, said they are concerned at the latest developments.
“The process which was recently engaged causes us great concern. “We believe it to be a dangerous precedent. “And it appears to be yet another example of this administration’s blatant disregard for our Constitution,” he said. Nevertheless, Fixin’ T&T believes Ewatski and Gibbs should have been removed a long time ago because the country has the talent “to effectively manage the police service.”
“It is our sincerest hope that the balance of their contracts was not bought out,” said Waithe.

WPP swoops for Finsbury
THREE directors of Finsbury, one of London's top financial public relations companies, will become multi-millionaires, having sold their business to Sir Martin Sorrell's advertising giant WPP for an estimated £50m.
Analysts believe WPP will pay about six times revenues for Finsbury, which last year had turnover of £8.2m, but tie in the selling directors with a demanding five-year earn-out. Finsbury was formed in 1994 by former financial journalist Roland Rudd, who owns more than 75% of the equity. It employs 60 people.
Its clients include Cable & Wireless, Lloyds TSB and the Stock Exchange.
