In 2019, Nury Martinez became the first Latina to become the president of the Los Angeles City Council.
The LA City Council is responsible for enacting laws that govern the City of Los Angeles and has the final say on the budget for all departments and agencies within the city. There are 15 City Council Members who each present over a council district.
When Martinez took the helm, there was cause for celebration but now many in the city are calling for her resignation. Martinez was caught on tape making racist remarks about Black Americans.
Martinez, the child of a dishwasher and a factory worker from the Mexican state of Zacatecas, is a Democrat. She previously served as a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education from 2009 to 2013.
An anonymous Reddit account tipped off people about the racist audio recordings. The voices on the recordings seem to that of Council President Nury Martinez, Councilmembers Kevin de León, and Gil Cedillo, and L.A. Labor Federation President Ron Herrera, Knock L.A. reported.
She and two other council members were caught using racist language while discussing a white colleague and his toddler Black son in a broad conversation with a labor leader.
In the October 2021 conversation, which lasted for roughly an hour, Martinez can be heard calling fellow council member Mike Bonin “that little bitch.” She also said that he handled his adopted son like “an accessory.” She refers to the child as “su negrito,” which is a disparaging term in Spanish for a Black person. She also called the child “ese changuito,” or that “little monkey.”
“There’s nothing you can do to control him, parece ch****ito.”
“This kid needs a beatdown. Let me take him around the corner, I’ll bring him right back.”
Martinez, de León, Cedillo, and Herrera discussed Black political power in L.A. and what de León terms “the Wizard of Oz effect.”
In the recording, Martinez says of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, “Fuck that guy, he’s with the Blacks.”
The files were posted earlier this moment, the account and those files have since been deleted, The Daily Beast reported.
Martinez has since apologized.
In a Oct. 9 statement, she said, “In a moment of intense frustration and anger, I let the situation get the best of me and I hold myself accountable for these comments.”
Bonin told the Los Angeles Times that the audio had made him “disgusted and angry and heartsick,” adding that his son had been two years old at the time they were made.
Tensions between Blacks and Latinos in Los Angeles have heated up.
California has seen a rapid growth in the Latino population, which is now at 19 percent in the U.S. and 39 percent.
In a series of lawsuits companies have settled with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Black Californians detail racism they claim to have experienced at warehouses from Latino co-workers. These are the largest discrimination cases seen in California.
“We are seeing an increase in larger race harassment cases,” Anna Park, regional attorney for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Los Angeles district office, told The Los Angeles Times. “The nature of them has gotten uglier. There’s a more blatant display of hatred with the N-word, with imagery, with nooses. All the violence you’re seeing in the news, it is manifesting in the employment context.”
Under U.S. federal policy, “Hispanic” is not recognized as a race but as an ethnicity. Hispanics can be of any race–there can be white and Black Hispanics. There are Black and white Latinos. But non-Hispanic Black American workers in California have found themselves the victim of discrimination from Latinos.

Thurso West Kirk
We are very pleased to announce Morning Glass Designs will be working on the restoration of several stained glass windows in Thurso West Kirk. The work involves the removal of 3 windows which were restored in unsuitable glass, reconstruction of these panels in a new configuration (to remove hopper vents) and reinstallation, as well as providing workshop-based training in the fundamentals of stained glass removal, repair and installation as part of a funded scheme.
Work on the project (which will be carried out in association with Michael Zappert Leaded Lights, Aboyne) is being overseen by Edinburgh-based conservation architects Addison Conservation & Design. The windows are scheduled for removal in early June, and the refurbishment of the church (which includes the building of a new south entrance) will take several months.

- Artistic revolution
Throughout history, forms of
arthave gone through periodic abrupt changes called artistic revolutions. Movements have come to an end to be replaced by a new movement markedly different in striking ways. See also cultural movements.
Artistic revolution and cultural/political revolutions
The role of
fine arthas been to simultaneously express values of the current culture while also offering criticism, balance, or alternatives to any such values that are proving no longer useful. So as times change, art changes. If changes were abrupt they were deemed revolutions. The best artists have predated society's changes due not to any prescenience, but because sensitive perceptivity is part of their 'talent' of seeing.
Artists have had to 'see' issues clearly in order to satisfy their current clients, yet not offend potential patrons. For example, paintings glorified aristocracy in the early 1600s when leadership was needed to nationalize small political groupings, but later as leadership became oppressive, satirization increased and subjects were less concerned with leaders and more with more common plights of mankind.
Examples of revoutionary art in conjunction with cultural/political movements:
Trotskyist& Diego Rivera
Black Panther Party& Emory Douglas
Social realism& Ben Shahn
Feminist art& the Guerrilla Girls
Industrial Workers of the World& Woody Guthrie
Artistic revolution of style
But not all artistic revolutions were political. Revolutions of style have also abruptly changed the art of a culture. For example, when the careful, even tedious, art techniques of French neo-classicism became oppressive to artists living in more exuberant times, a stylistic revolution known as "
Impressionism" vitalized brush strokes and color. Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoirburst onto the French culture, effecting a revolution with a style that has become commonplace today.
An artistic revolution can be begun by a single artist, but unless that artist gains some understanding, he becomes an iconoclast. The first
Abstract Expressionistswere considered madmen to give up their brushes and rely on the sheer force of energy to leave an image, but then the import of atomic bombs, all atomic energy, became realized, and art found no better way of expressing its power. Jackson Pollockis the artist best known for starting that revolution.

Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/31/2000
Publication Date: N/A
Technical Abstract: Plants produce many compounds that have been shown to deter insect feeding, acting either as metabolic poisons or as feeding deterrents. Several insect species have been shown to be sensitive to specific flavonoids in feeding tests. For example, high levels of the luteolin C-glycoside maysin, found in the silks of certain cultivars of corn (Zea mays L.), have been shown to be one of the key factors conferring resistance to attack by the corn earworm [Helicoveria zea (Boddie)]. The elucidation of the genetic and enzymatic mechanisms is a key part of a breeding program designed to transfer the genes involved to economically important corn cultivars as a method of earworm control. The analytical methodology for evaluating flavonoid composition in these hybrids and its use in elucidating the enzymatic steps involved in the biosynthesis of these compounds will be discussed. An overview of plant-insect interactions involving flavonoids will also be presented.

Western, in conjunction with the City of London, developed a London household food waste survey to help them understand the amount and reasons why food is wasted and what leads to these behaviours. The focus is on food that could have been eaten (e.g. whole fruit, bread, leftovers etc.) rather than the parts of food that cannot be eaten. Ultimately survey results will help them better understand how much and why food is wasted and help inform future policies related to food waste. See CTV news piece, link to a Londoner story and that further describes the survey.
This survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete. We would be grateful if you would consider communicating with your network via email and/or social media to let them know about this survey. Thank you for your consideration.


72 Majestic Whale Photos To Celebrate World Whale Day
Today is World Whale Day, an event started in Maui, Hawaii, in 1980, to raise awareness and to protect these majestic sea creatures and their habitat. But this is no backyard nature conservation event! It's also a fun opportunity to participate in The Maui Whale Festival, that will feature a parade, live music, and other festivities!
Though humpback whales can reach the length up to 16 meters, weigh around 30 tonnes, and travel up to 25.000 kilometers a year, these sea mammals are still endangered due to overfishing, noise pollution, and sea vehicle collisions. In spite of their voluminous size, the latter is the most common cause of serious injuries and death of the whales. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, now the population of this marine animal has recovered to around 80.000 of them worldwide; the humpbacks still need our protection to live and thrive.
This leviathan of a list is Bored Panda's way of taking part and letting you join, in these World Whale Day festivities. Which sea animal photo do you find the most inspiring? Do you have some whale pictures of your own? Vote or submit your pics below!More info: mauiwhalefestival.org

Always check the weather before your trip!
* GPX tracks are taken on recreational level and they are not tested.
This walk offers a lot of panoramic views on lake Orta, crossing ancient rural villages and chestnut woods.
From Pella the trail follows the paved mule track until San Giulio mountain, from this point you can proceed along the asphalt road (as in the GPX track) or along the steep trail.
Close to the town’s church there is the first panoramic view on San Giulio Island and Orta’s promontory. Back on the mule track and among the woods the trail reaches Egro, Cesara locality, and goes down along a step until Egro’s cross. The cross is on top a rocky spike that dominates lake Orta, offering an amazing panorama that spans from Gozzano until Omegna. The Buccione tower and Mottarone’s peak can be seen in sunny days.
The trail then goes up to Egro and towards Grassona, reaching Colma. From this point it goes down along a mule track until Ronco, a typical village facing the lake with its narrow paved roads. Leaving Ronco it proceeds along the council asphalt road that reaches Pella.

Problem: Abbott developed TriClip™ to address a gap in minimally-invasive treatment options for tricuspid regurgitation (TR). For the product launch, Abbott needed to demonstrate how the first-to-market technology combined their trusted MitraClip™ implant design with a delivery system reimagined for the right side of the heart.
Solution: We partnered with Abbott to showcase how TriClip™ offers both proven technology and an innovative, tricuspid-specific delivery system. To do this, we animated dynamic beauty shots alongside key features and benefits to introduce the system components and generate excitement. Then, to show TriClip's key differentiators in action, we created a detailed procedural sequence featuring both the proximal and distal ends of the device, clearly demonstrating how the TriClip system offers the control needed for precise delivery to the tricuspid valve.
Outcome: The TriClip™ animation has been received so well that it has reached far beyond just the product launch. Since its completion, the animation has been adapted for use in training, clinical trials and presentations. It has been segmented for use on social media, and the beauty shots have been rendered as high-resolution illustrations for use across website and marketing materials.


Law Society chief executive Des Hudson saw his remuneration package fall 16% last year, the society’s annual accounts have shown.
The Law Society recorded a net deficit of £22.7m in 2012 – more than the £10m which had been budgeted for as a result of IT project overruns. Income for 2012 was £120m.
In 2012, Mr Hudson received salary and benefits of £340,000 and no pension contributions, having received £376,000 pay and £31,000 in pension contributions, a total of £407,000, the year before.
Until 2012 his pay had risen substantially since joining the Law Society. The 2007 accounts, Mr Hudson’s first full year as chief executive, had him on a package worth £230,726.
A Law Society spokesman said: “[Mr Hudson’s] reward package is determined by reference to criteria set each year by an independent remuneration committee. In 2012 he chose a salary enhancement in lieu of pension contribution.”
The accounts, which will be presented to Thursday’s annual general meeting, reveal that he was also paid £25,000 as a director of Queen’s Counsel Appointments, the joint Law Society/Bar Council body that handles the award of the QC mark. The spokesman said this acknowledges his contribution, in an ex-officio capacity, to the body’s work and is made to the Law Society, rather than Mr Hudson personally.
Antony Townsend, chief executive of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), saw his package rise 9%, with salary and benefits of £225,000 (up from £209,000) and pension contributions of £26,000 (up from £21,000).
In all the Law Society paid £51.7m in employment costs across the two organisations in 2012, a drop of 6.6%. However, the number of staff fell 10% from 1,023 to 919, with the reduction in posts split fairly evenly between the Law Society and SRA, which as of 31 December 2012 employed 376 and 543 people respectively.
The Law Society spokesman said the higher than anticipated deficit was largely made up of a £4.4m charge for depreciation, £5.9m of fixed assets impairment costs, and £3.2m provision for future costs arising from the assigned risks pool.
He said: “The deficit will be funded from accounting reserves. We were aware of most of the costs; however the fixed asset impairment arose towards the end of the year, after we reviewed our levels of capitalisation and cost savings.”

While many of us may not be aware of its presence in our water, chlorine is one of the most common additives used in modern drinking water. While it is intended to act as a purifying agent, the reality is that chlorine can be quite harmful to the health and beauty of those who are exposed to it on a regular basis. For more information about Shower Head filters for Hard Water click here
Almost everyone has at some time or the other experienced dry, flaky skin or brittle, frizzy hair that resists moisturizing products. Both these reactions are some of the milder effects of chlorine on the body. Over time, these symptoms can cause issues that are much more severe such as heart disease, skin damage, premature aging, hardening of the arteries and even a higher risk of developing cancer. This is why a chlorine shower filter is so important to your health and beauty.
How Showering Increases Exposure to Chlorine
Showering in hot water, especially in an enclosed area can leave your body even more exposed to the contaminants in water. In this environment the heat of the water opens your pores and allows for deeper absorption and your lungs are exposed to a mist form of these contaminants as you breathe them in. Chlorine readily invades your body through both of these methods, making a shower the largest source for chlorine exposure. The longer and hotter the shower you take; the higher the concentration and level of absorption you will be exposed to. Shower head filters help to eliminate the chlorine.
Chlorine & its Effects on Chronic Conditions
In a hot shower environment where exposure is consistent, individuals suffering from health conditions such as eczema and asthma are at even higher risk. The more exposure you have, the higher the risk to your health. In those with preexisting conditions, this means an increased rate of attack and a more severe reaction.
In addition to removing the chlorine from the water, chlorine shower filters also remove other toxins from the water making it much safer for you and your family. Through the use of a KDF media, the chlorine is removed from your water using an electrochemical process. Being made from zinc and copper it is capable of reversing the process that separated chlorine from sodium in the brine solution it originally came from. Copper and zinc together causes a 900 to 1100 millivolt charge to occur. This causes a galvanic charge which is capable of recreating the original environment in which chlorine was separated from sodium. In this state, the chlorine recombines with metal (most often zinc) and creates a totally safe and harmless product known as zinc chloride. The KDF media in chlorine shower filters also works as a bacteriostatic and helps to reduce the risk of fungus, mildew and bacteria forming in your shower area.
Sounds complex? The good news is, installing a chlorine shower filter in your shower is simple and uncomplicated. In most homes, it is as simple as unscrewing the shower head, screwing on the shower head filter in its place and then screwing the shower head onto the end of the filter. These filters are well worth the investment especially for those with high exposure.

What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is use of another person’s work or ideas without acknowledging the author whether the work is published or unpublished, professional or amateur, graphic or digital. If another’s words, phrases, ideas, opinions, designs, or facts are used, credit must be given. When words and ideas are noted, the source should be clearly indicated to enable researchers to differentiate their own thoughts from others.

Defense stocks rise and fall along with talk of strikes against Syria
WASHINGTON – Aerospace and defense companies, many with operations in Arizona, have seen a rise in stock prices since U.S. officials first started talking about military action against Syria last month.
Boeing, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin all saw gains from Aug. 21, the day the Syrian government reportedly launched chemical weapons against civilians and opposition forces in the civil war there, through Friday’s close.
Raytheon stock climbed to $77.93 per share on Aug. 26, the day United Nations inspectors arrived in Syria to investigate whether President Bashar al-Assad’s government had used chemical weapons. After hitting what was the highest price in at least the last 15 years, Raytheon stock slipped back down, at the same time that congressional opposition to a strike has risen.
Raytheon was thrust into the news when an Obama administration official was quoted saying that any attack on Syria would likely involve Tomahawk cruise missiles – built in Arizona by Raytheon Missile Systems, a Tucson-based division of the company.
It is not clear if any of the companies’ gains can be attributed directly to the news about Syria. Raytheon’s stock, for example, had been on a gradual climb for the last six months after hitting a 52-week low at $52.24 in January.
But it hasn’t hurt.
“Raytheon could benefit from U.S. involvement in Syria,” wrote Joseph Nadol, an aerospace and defense analyst for J.P. Morgan, in his Sept. 3 report to investors. Nadol listed Raytheon second on his list of September prime defense stocks.
A spokesman for Raytheon declined to comment this week on the company’s rising stock price. Other defense contractors in the state also declined comment on their stocks, although Boeing did point out in an email that the company is involved in much more than just the defense business.
On Aug. 31, President Barack Obama said he planned to take military measures against Syria to prevent future use of chemical weapons there, but said he would seek congressional approval first. That resolution is still being debated by Congress, which is on recess until next week.
Should the United States take action against Syria, administration officials have been quoted in news reports saying an attack would likely come from U.S. warships in the Mediterranean Sea that are armed with Tomahawks.
Tomahawk missiles can be launched from ship or submarine and are the same missiles the U.S. used in attacks on Libya in 2011.
The Pentagon bought 196 Tomahawk missiles from Raytheon in fiscal 2013, for $320.3 million, according to information from the Defense Department. The military also bought 196 missiles in fiscal 2012 after buying 417 in 2011, the department said.
Raytheon said in July that it reported second-quarter net sales of more than $6 billion this year, up 2.1 percent from the second quarter in the previous year. In its latest filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said, it also reported a 7 percent increase in net sales for its missile systems branch, to $1.69 billion in the second quarter.
The company said then that sales of several missiles drove the division’s growth, but the Tomahawk was not one of those cited.
Former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl said there is no getting around the fact that the defense industry is now a sizable part of the state’s economy.
“At least in one case, we’ve got a defense contractor in Arizona that could actually benefit by a strike on Syria,” Kyl said of Raytheon.
He added quickly that economics should never be considered in the decision to go to war. But an expert with the National Priorities Project said the cost of war should be considered.
Mattea Kramer is research director for the organization, which said its mission is to make federal budgets accessible and relevant to Americans.
She said taxpayers pay $36,000 an hour for the Tomahawk missile program but that there will be other costs that come with military action against Syria that cannot be predicted at this time. That is one reason not to get involved in Syria, she said.
“It would be costly,” Kramer said. “No one can say how costly it will be.”

The website you are trying to access is not one of our trusted partners.
He hosts one of cable TV’s highest-rated programs, but at least seven major advertisers have dropped Tucker Carlson Tonight following his racist screed against Black Lives Matter and marches protesting police brutality toward blacks.
T-Mobile, Disney, and even Papa John’s Pizza are among the marketers who decided that reaching Carlson’s far-right followers isn’t worth tarnishing its brand. SmileDirectClub, Vari, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, and Poshmark have also severed their association with the middle-age frat boy.
On June 8, Carlson attacked the worldwide protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd. In an apparent attempt to stir fear instead of marchers demanding an end to the systemic racism in law enforcement, Carlson cautioned against “left-wing mobs” out to “cancel your rights.”
“This may be a lot of things, this moment we’re living through, but it is definitely not about black lives,” he told his audience. “Remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will.”
Two days earlier, Carlson had called out celebrities who donated to nonprofits supporting police reform and raising bail money for protestors.
Carlson read the names of Seth Rogen, Janelle Monáe, Steve Carell, Don Cheadle, Colin Kaepernick, Harry Styles, Cynthia Nixon, and others over images of violent riots.
“I think when white supremacists are bothered by your actions, that’s probably a good thing,” tweeted Rogen in response.
Following his June 8 statements about the protests, Carlson was hit with charges of racism, and not for the first time.
In 2018, Carlson’s show lost advertisers after he claimed immigrants made the United States “poorer and dirtier.”
The next year, he drew fire for characterizing white supremacy as a “hoax” after authorities linked the mass slaying of 22 people at an El Paso Walmart to a white supremacist who feared a “Hispanic invasion.”
In the wake of that incident, the hashtag #FireTuckerCarlson trended for a while and Carlson went on vacation.
The latest incident, however, hits Fox News where its heart is — money — and at a time when the network is particularly vulnerable. Advertisers were already disengaging with Fox News for its denial of the COVID-19 pandemic, which in turn is causing companies to trim their marketing budgets.
A recent ad industry study predicted that COVID-19 will take 33 percent from advance commercial commitments “as advertisers … shift to short-term buying.”
“Of the more than 150 advertisers surveyed in early May, half say they feel they can replace the reach of linear TV with ads within streaming services and digital video ads,” wrote CNBC.
But Carlson can still count on one high-profile advertiser: MyPillow. Company CEO Mike Lindell is Minnesota chairman for Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, and he’s a backer of the “All Lives Matter” movement — a racist counter to Black Lives Matter.
MyPillow had 45 airings on Carlson’s show between May 27 and June 9, according to iSpot.tv.
In addition to sticking with Carlson for now, Lindell is said to be considering a run for governor of Minnesota. If he does, Carlson also can count on him for campaign ads in the Minnesota market.
But for now, the biggest star of one of the world's most successful media businesses might consider recalibrating his approach to a nascent cultural shift.

Rolf Abrahamsohn was not only a witness to the Holocaust he was also witness to the remorselessness of some of his fellow country men.
One day a few months after the war Rolf encountered a man who was hitchhiking. Rolf felt sorry for the man because he only had one leg, so he decided to give him a lift.
After a few minutes the conversation turned to the Kristall nacht. The hitchhiker told Rolf that one night he was at a party he was told “come and meet us at the Loestraße tomorrow, you will see some action there” He said he did go there and walked into a textile shop,it had been burning already, but the place was “filthy” the hitchhiker claimed. At that stage Rolf stopped the car and kindly asked the man to leave the vehicle, when the hitchhiker got our Rolf said” I wish they had blown away your other leg too, our place wasn’t filthy”
The shop the man had been referring to was Rolf’s parents shop.
I mentioned fellow country men because Rolf was a German. Although the Abrahamsohn’s were Jewish they did celebrate Christmas like any other German, singing the same carols and hymns. They even sent their sons to an evangelical christian school.Rolf’s dad had fought for the German army during WWI, with the slogan “All Jews are proud to be German”
Rolf Abrahamsohn was born on March 9 in Marl,Germany. To Arthur Abrahamsohn (1888 – 1942), Else Abrahamsohn, geb. Gottschalk (1890 – 1944)
He had 3 brothers.Ludwig Abrahamsohn (1921 – 1924), Hans Abrahamsohn (1922 – 1942), Norbert Abrahamsohn (1933 – 1940).
Ludwig was born before Rolf, he died in an accident aged 3.Below is a picture of Rolf and his other 2 brothers.
Although they were Jewish the boys attended the evangelische Goetheschule in Marl.However due to increased antisemitism they left the school in 1934.
Arthur was beaten half to death during the Kristallnacht in November 1938. The shop had been damaged by fire,after that the family moved into a so called “Jew House” in Reckinghause. Shortly afterwards the Father and the older son Hans were arrested. When they were released again Arthur and Hans fled to Belgium.
Aged 14 Rolf was forced to do slave labour for companies in the Ruhr region one of the companies was Ruhrgas AG(Currently E-ON Ruhrgas)
In 1940 his youngest brother Norbert died of Diphtheria aged 7. In January 1942 Rolf and his Mother were deported to Riga where he survived the ghetto.
Later they were sent to the Kaiserwald concentration camp in Riga. Unfortunately his Mother did not survive due to the appalling living conditions.
Rolf then was deported to the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig.
Subsequently he was then send to a sub-camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp where he was put to work in the armament production and clearing of bombs. The last few weeks of the war he spent in Theresienstadt where he eventually was liberated by Soviet troops.
Hoping to be re-united with some of his relatives he found out that his Father and Brother had both been killed after they had been deported from Belgium.
After the war he decided to re-open his Parents’ shop.
He has since become a successful business man and since the 80’s he has been involved in re-establishing a Jewish community in the Recklingshausen-Bochum area together with other survivors.
I am passionate about my site and I know you all like reading my blogs. I have been doing this at no cost and will continue to do so.

The benefits of yoga are plentiful. It improves posture and brain functionality, calms the mind, lowers blood pressure, and increases flexibility. Certain poses can also provide targeted relief for aches and pains due to travel, athletic training, or just your everyday routine. Incorporating yoga poses into your day can help you feel light on your feet, balanced, and focused. We talked to Bay Club San Francisco Yoga Teacher, Danni Pomplun about the best poses to practice in the morning, noon, afternoon slump, and night.
Many people tend to stretch their arms overhead when waking up. This instinctual movement is the body telling the mind it wants to get the blood flowing. What are you waiting for? Get out of bed and do a small series of movements.
Pose #1: Low Lunge
Start in downward facing dog and take a couple of deep inhales and exhales. Press into your heels and feel your back open up. Lift one leg toward the ceiling and press into your hips. Swing the leg forward and move into a deep low lunge. Once you’re stable in the stretch, raise your arms up to the ceiling and press your hips forward. If it feels good, arch your back a little.
Benefits: Low lunge treats lower-body soreness and any areas that might be tight like the quads, hips, and hamstring. It strengthens your knees, releases hip tension, and helps build mental focus.
Pose #2: Chair
Stand with your feet hips distance apart. Feel the ground beneath you and notice the connection between it and your body. Bend your legs as if you were sitting in a chair and sweep your arms over your head into a V-shape. Imagine that you are sitting in a chair and keep the back long and the inner thighs parallel to each other. Hold the pose for a few deep breaths.
Benefits: Chair pose stretches out the chest and shoulders and stimulates the internal organs. It strengths the legs—calves, ankles, and hip flexors—while toning them.
In the middle of the day, one can feel a wide variety of emotions related to work or things that happened in the morning. Stress, anxiety, negative thinking, lack of productivity—all of these may occur at any point during the middle of the day. Alleviate pressure and calm your mind by stepping away from your desk for five minutes to perform these poses.
Pose: Warrior II
This pose starts in a similar way as low lunge. Begin in downward facing dog. Lift one leg toward the ceiling and press into your hips. Swing the leg forward and move into a deep low lunge. Shift your weight, so you are standing with your front foot pointed forward, and your back leg pointed toward the side. Extend the arms into a T-shape at both sides. Press into the front leg, so you are in a strong lunge position.
Benefits: The Warrior poses take their name from ancient Hindi mythology and the story of a mighty warrior. When practicing Warrior II, harness the energy of this powerful warrior. Imagine that you are the embodiment of strength and when you breathe out, let go of the things that are worrying you. This pose helps develop stability and balance, improves circulation and respiration, relieves backaches, opens the chest and lungs, and energizes tired limbs.
A lull in energy and enthusiasm can occur between 1:00 and 4:00 pm—especially if you indulged in a large lunch. When you’re feeling sleepy and sluggish, don’t reach for the unhealthy snack. Instead, move your body! Get up, take several deep belly breaths, and move into a nice soothing yoga pose to ward off the tiredness.
Pose #1: Wide Leg Forward Fold
Start in mountain pose, and separate your legs anywhere from three feet to four and a half feet. Make sure your feet are parallel to each other and exhale. Lean your torso forward, and place your fingertips on the ground directly below your shoulders and flatten your palms. Extend your arms behind your body and walk your hands back and lengthen your torso.
Benefits: Wide Leg Forward Fold increases flexibility and stretches the spine and back. It also helps calm the mind and relieve anxiety and stress, while improving digestion. Additionally, this pose can help reduce fatigue—perfect for that afternoon slump!
Pose #2: Downward Facing Dog
Start in a tabletop position with your knees on the floor directly underneath your hips and your hands pressing into the ground directly underneath your shoulders. Slowly lift your knees off the ground and extend your legs. You should feel a gentle stretch in the back of your thighs and calves. Shoot your tailbone toward the sky and lengthen your back, so that you are making an upside down V-shape. Press your feet into the floor and breath in and out. Move from side to side and see how the stretch changes from one leg to the other. Press into your hands for more of a backstretch.
Benefits: Downward dog is an inverted yoga pose. These types of poses reverse the effect of gravity on the body and get the blood flowing in new directions. Seeing everything turned upside down can help one look at things differently. It strengthens the bones, lengthens the spine, and tones both the arms and legs.
After a long day, it’s time to slow things down and prepare for bed. Quiet and reflective meditation can calm the body down and so can doing a few deep stretches before climbing into bed.
Pose #1: Long Lizard
Start in a runners lunge with one leg forward and bent and the other leg extended behind you with both hands on the ground. Press into your bent leg, so you feel a nice deep stretch in the hip flexors. Bend the back leg, so that the knee is touching the ground and breath into the hip stretch. If you can, bring your elbows to the ground to deepen the stretch. Hold the pose, breathing in and out. Repeat with the other leg forward.
Benefits: Long lizard pose opens the groin, hip flexors, and hamstrings. It’s a soothing stretch that will feel good to anyone who sat at a desk all day. It opens and releases the chest, shoulders, and neck and strengthens in the inner thigh muscles.
Pose #2: Seated Forward Fold
Sit on the floor with your legs extended long in front of you. Straighten your legs and flex your feet pressing into your heels. Lift the arms over the head and fold your body over the legs. Leave the buttocks firmly on the floor. When you exhale lean deeper into the stretch extending your arms to reach your toes. When you inhale, ease up on the stretch. Repeat several times.
Benefits: A simple forward fold relieves stress and mild depression. It calms the mind down while stretching the hamstrings, spines, and shoulders. It soothes headaches, anxiety, and fatigue, and improves digestion.
And if you’re really looking to make yoga a priority before the end of the year, join Danni for his yoga classes at Bay Club San Francisco.

NUNEATON’S George Eliot Hospital has been struck by an outbreak of the winter sickness bug – affecting up to 15 staff and patients.
Hospital bosses are asking visitors to postpone non-essential visits to relatives and friends to contain the highly contagious norovirus, which causes violent sickness and diarrhoea.
There are four confirmed cases of norovirus on one ward and seven suspected from two other wards. Four members of staff are off sick with suspected norovirus.
It is the second hospital in Coventry and Warwickshire to be affected. Last weekend University Hospital, Coventry, lifted visiting restrictions following an outbreak two weeks ago which at its peak closed seven wards – affecting more than 60 staff and patients.
Nigel Kee, chief operating and nursing officer at George Eliot Hospital, said: “This kind of bug is not uncommon at this time of year and a number of neighbouring hospitals have already taken similar precautions.
"We want to stop it spreading as quickly as possible and we are asking for the help of our visitors to reduce the risk of it spreading within the hospital.
“Sickness bugs like this do not usually put patients at serious risk, but they are unpleasant and can spread rapidly amongst patients, staff and visitors alike.”

Here are seven of the most common signs:Upset stomach.
Stomach disturbances like gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn can all be signs of an unhealthy gut.
A high-sugar diet.
Unintentional weight changes.
Sleep disturbances or constant fatigue.
Is 30 billion CFU probiotic too much?
CFU numbers on probiotic supplements can vary anywhere from several million to 50 billion, but the researchers concluded that effective probiotic dosage for general gut health seems to be in the range of 10 million to one billion CFU/mg per day in humans. Dosage recommendations can vary for specific conditions.
Do probiotics detox the body?
By taking probiotics, it is increasing the number of good bacteria which can detoxify your system and help you absorb nutrients more efficiently. If you have been taking too many antibiotics, the probiotics can balance the negative effects of that as well.
Who should not take probiotics?
Although probiotics are generally safe to use, findings of a review from 2017 suggest that children and adults with severe illnesses or compromised immune systems should avoid using probiotics. Some people with these conditions have experienced bacterial or fungal infections as a result of probiotic use.
What is the best time to take probiotics?
“The best time to take a probiotic is on an empty stomach,” Dr. Wallman says. For most people, that means taking a probiotic first thing in the morning (at least an hour before a meal, Dr. Wallman advises), or right before you go to sleep.
What happens to your body when you start taking probiotics?
1. They May Cause Unpleasant Digestive Symptoms. While most people do not experience side effects, the most commonly reported reaction to bacteria-based probiotic supplements is a temporary increase in gas and bloating ( 9 ). Those taking yeast-based probiotics may experience constipation and increased thirst ( 10 ).
Should I take probiotics in the morning or at night?
Probiotics contain live microorganisms that can enhance your gut health. While research indicates that some strains may survive better if taken before a meal, the timing of your probiotic is less important than consistency. Thus, you should take probiotics at the same time each day.
Can probiotics cause weight gain?
Some Probiotic Strains May Increase the Risk of Weight Gain and Obesity. Not all studies have found that probiotics help with weight loss. Some studies have even found that certain probiotic strains might lead to weight gain, not loss. This includes Lactobacillus acidophilus (27).
What are the side effects of too much probiotics?

Can probiotics be harmful?
Possible harmful effects of probiotics include infections, production of harmful substances by the probiotic microorganisms, and transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from probiotic microorganisms to other microorganisms in the digestive tract.
What happens when you stop taking probiotics?
If you stop taking them, your gut bacteria are likely return to their pre-supplementation condition within one to three weeks. You may be able to get longer-lasting changes by “feeding the healthy bacteria”. Like all living organisms, bacteria need food to survive.

Some medications that may interact with certain probiotics include: antibiotics, antifungals (such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, griseofulvin, nystatin).
What is the best probiotic?
A general recommendation is to choose probiotic products with at least 1 billion colony forming units and containing the genus Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium or Saccharomyces boulardii, some of the most researched probiotics.
Is it OK to take a probiotic every day?
Not only is it safe to take probiotics on a daily basis, but it’s recommended you do so. Creating a consistent routine increases probiotic benefits, which we’ll dive into. Because probiotics are natural (they’re the bacteria your body literally needs to be its healthiest), they are safe to consume every day.

Passwords grant access to IT resources such as a bank account, computer, email, or a server on a network and are designed to limit access to only those individuals who are authorized. In this way they help protect your privacy and identity. The quality (strength) of your password is an important factor to consider. If passwords are guessed or stolen, someone logging in under your identity could possibly cause problems with your credit, reputation, or with MIT's resources.
Updating your password
If you haven't changed your password in a while, before you do so, refer to this article on strong passwords. It offers guidelines on what to choose and what not to choose when picking a new password.
Keeping your password safe
MIT's network is under constant and heavy attack from automated password crackers running against MIT's authentication systems. It is important to protect your password by:
- Changing your password at regular intervals
- Having a strong password
- Never telling anyone your password or hinting at it, not even to friends, colleagues, system administrators, and account managers
- Picking passwords you can remember and don't need to write down
- Locking your screen or logging out when stepping away from a computer, especially in a public area
- Using a temporary password when using a public computer or a public network to access confidential information
- Ignoring requests by websites or browsers to "remember" your password
If you have a hard time remembering all of your passwords, there are several password manager tools available, some of them are free. Keep in mind that anyone who could gain unauthorized access to your computer will then have all your passwords at their disposal, so make sure the system storing all your passwords is encrypted with a strong password.

Evil West arrives at players as the last third-person shooting game of Shadow Warrior developer, Flying Wild Hog. Taking a new approach to the aforementioned Shadow Warrior, this title sees players take control of a vampire hunter to protect the old west of supernatural entities. As with many new releases, some players have questioned whether this game will appear in the Xbox Game Pass Subscription service. Here is your answer whether Evil West is at Xbox Game Pass.
Are Evil West in Game Pass?
The short answer is no; MAL West is not available in Game Pass. If you want to play the game, you must buy the game through Xbox, PC or PlayStation. Nor is it available in PlayStation Plus, which means that none of the systems obtains a launch in its respective subscription service.
This may surprise some since the last game of the developer Flying Wild Hog, Trek to Yogi, was a release of the first day at Game Pass. Perhaps the lack of a Game Pass launch of this game could be the result of a different editor; While Trek to Yogi was published by returning Digital, Evil West brings us Focus Home Interactive. Perhaps Focus Home did not feel so ready to make this a first day title at Game Pass as returning. However, do not be surprised if you finally get to the service in the future.
That is all you need to know about whether Evil West is at Xbox Game Pass. If you still do not know whether to choose Evil West, take a look at DLPRIVATASERVER in the extended game trailer of this unique title.

Both achieved success in the '90s, to finally become the staple of pop culture people now enjoy every day. Given their synchronistic upbringing it's no surprise that there has more than a little overlap.

The motion of sediment and development of bed forms in natural rivers still constitute intriguing phenomena encountered in a variety of problems including river hydraulics and other geophysical and environmental flows. Since the pioneer work of Einstein (1950) and, later, Einstein & Barbarossa (1952), the profound effects of movable sediments on the flow fields have been recognized very important in order to determine the nature of resistance (Yalin, 1977; Vanoni, 1979; García & Parker, 1991). This paper presents the results of a simple methodology, based on energy balance, for computing the components of the total shear stress (grain and form-drag) acting on a uniform, two-dimensional flow over fully developed dunes. The method considers mainly an analysis of spatially-averaged (over several dune wavelengths) shear stress distributions. The corresponding roughness function that appears in the logarithmic velocity profile is also investigated and related to dimensionless numbers of the sediment transport phenomenon. Different regimes indicating the nature of the total resistance, mainly for different scales of the flows, are identified. Then, the characteristic roughness length for the logarithmic velocity distribution is derived from the roughness function and applied, in turn, to the boundary-layer-type total friction coefficients. Finally, an alternative expression for the dimensionless bedload transport due to fully-developed, two dimensional dunes, including a wide range of alluvial streams, is presented.

The houses were constructed by the Office of the Prime Minister to relocate hundreds of households from the disaster-prone districts of Bududa, Manafwa, Sironko, Bulambuli, and Namisindwa. Each unit, sitting on one acre of land, has two bedrooms each, a sitting room and a kitchen.
Houses that were given to residents within the Bunambutye
Resettlement Camp in Bulambuli district have developed cracks. According to leaders in the camp, over 50 houses have
developed cracks that put the lives of occupants at risk.
The houses were constructed by the Office of the Prime Minister to relocate hundreds of households from the disaster-prone districts of Bududa, Manafwa,
Sironko, Bulambuli, and Namisindwa. Each unit, sitting on one acre of land, has two bedrooms each, a
sitting room and a kitchen.
But some of the houses have been abandoned forcing the owners to seek refuge in the neighbourhood. According to residents,
others have since gone back to where they came from. The resident in the camp says that the cracking could have been caused by a poor mixture of
sand and cement, and they fear that the units could collapse anytime.

According to construction engineers, such cracks are caused by natural calamity, soil failure, construction faults, improper design, and inadequate joints. The buildings sometimes crack, as a result of temperature variations, moisture changes and chemical actions which eventually destroys the wall
integrity and affect the safety and durability of the structure.
Peter Peks Pak, the Bulambuli Resident District Commissioner blamed
the cracks on the soil texture in the area and that the cracks were expected by

I'll be straight up honest: I didn't like the Volta remixes. The remixed versions didn't sound too different from the studio versions. That or they were too annoyingly "busy" to be enjoyable. The only standout remixed song from Volta for me was "Wanderlust" (I loved it so much that I bought the "very very limited edition" LP package that includes 2 vinyls, stickers, 3D glasses, CD, and the music video!). Seriously, you can't beat the gorgeousness of the cover art for this one.
My favorite "Wanderlust" remixes are:
Wanderlust (Matthew Herbert Remix)
This is easily and instantly a very cool remix. I like the "stomping" sound of it, gives "Wanderlust" even more urgency.
Wanderlust (Ratatat Remix)
Now this one is amazing! It sounds darkly extraterrestrial in the beginning and then it's otherworldly optimistic with those skittering beats and this rift that sounds guitar-like. This remix has so much creativity, color, and character that it's pretty crazy and absolutely impressive.
Wanderlust (Mark Stent Instrumental)
Remixed by: Mark 'Spike' Stent
I love this. Sweeping, gorgeous, and somehow even more powerful with just the instrumental.
Biophila was one beast of a project. Its remixes are no different. They're so beastly in fact that Björk did a remixed version of the album called Bastards. This makes it her only 2nd remixed album (the first one she did was Telegram, a remixed album for Post).
Many fans found Biophilia hard to get into. Bastards is more immediate, easier to connect with, catchier, and more upbeat. I love Bastards so much that honestly, I think it's better than the original! I love just about every remixed song on Bastards, but here are my most favorite:
Virus (Hudson Mohawke “Peaches and Guacamol” Rework)
This song's about love and you can just feel it in this remix. Absolutely beautiful!
Sacrifice (Death Grips Remix)
This is one of those remixes that makes you go "damn!" or "holy shit!" It's that good.
Mutual Core (These New Puritans Remix featuring Soloman Is. Song)
This remix is so rich in sound that it creates a universe and a story in your mind. And as the song progresses, it takes you even deeper into that universe and story that your mind created. Of all the Biophilia remixes, this one is the best. I just can't love it enough. It's so stunning.
Mutual Core (Matthew Herbert’s “Teutonic Plates” Mix)
As if this song isn't already awesome, this "Mutual Core" kicks ass.
Thunderbolt (Death Grips Remix)
This remix has character. It's crazy, mad, and very sexy.
Thunderbolt (Omar Souleyman Remix)
"Thunderbolt" with a Middle-Eastern/distinctively Arabic flavor. What's not to love about this?
Solstice (Current Value Remix)
While the original "Solstice" is slower, this one takes off as something else entirely different, and it's extraordinary.
Moon (The Slips Remix)
While the original "Moon" might be too slow and dare I say boring, this "Moon" sounds like it came from the heavens! So stunning, ethereal, beautiful, and it just almost makes you want to dance!
Crystalline (Matthew Herbert Remix)
"Crystalline" is my least favorite song from Biophilia, but this "Crystalline" on Bastards is so good! It sounds aggressive and urgent but is softened by these beats that are crystal-like. Especially at the song's finish. It sounds like sparkling crystals are actually falling from the sky. What a nice touch!
Other Biophilia remixes that I love that were released separately are:
Hollow (Current Value Remix)
"Hollow" (next to "Dark Matter") is the most inaccessible track on Biophilia. This version is not only immediate, but even spookier-sounding than the original.
Cosmogony (Matthew Herbert Mix 1)
I felt that "Cosmogony" didn't need to be remixed because it's fine as is, but this is breathtaking. It sounds so "airy" as if "Cosmogony" is being sung in outer space and slowly landing on planet Earth.
Cosmogony (Matthew Herbert Mix 2)
This "Cosmogony" is marching to its own beat and sounds electrifying while doing it.
Thunderbolt (King Cannibal Remix)
This is 11-minutes of one fascinating remix of my favorite song from Biophilia.
Virus (Matthew Herbert's 'fever' Mix)
Another 11-minutes of divinity. This "Virus" sounds eerie and more sensual.
And lastly, Sacrifice (Matthew Herbert's Pins and Needles Remix)
* Only one section of this remix was included in Bastards. This is Matthew's remix in its entirety.
This is the most powerful song on Biophilia. Matthew Herbert's remixes are always the best, usually so ethereal and sensual. Something about this one is extra special. It's layered with glitchy, sparkly, and cinematic beats that somehow makes "Sacrifice" even more powerful and moving.

There is a lot of information to unpack here. We enjoyed it a lot. Just wish we had to spend more time to see the exhibits. You can move at your own pace. We just had to leave to catch a show we had already booked. The speakeasy bar downstairs is amazing. Moonshine was awesome and I had about the smoothest old-fashioned ever down there.
There mob museum is a great way to learn about some fascinating portions of American history. The history and the detail provided in the exhibits are great. You get to learn about both the mob and organized crime in general but also it's involvement in the creation of Vegas as it is now. After your visit to the museum you have a great opportunity to explore the rest of Fremont Street since you're in the area already.

The Ohio University Board of Trustees will consider increasing tuition, fees and rates, as well as the approval of nearly $56 million in capital improvement projects during its Jan. 19 meeting.
OU Vice President for Finance and Administration Deborah Shaffer will present the board with an update on the current financial state of the university, as well as budget planning for the next financial year.
The university recommends the board approve plans to extend the OHIO Guarantee — a model that guarantees level-rate tuition, housing, dining and fees to students and their families — to regional campuses.
The plan would include a legislated 6 percent tuition increase during the first year of the transition of the guarantee to “maintain the competitive rate structure of the regional campuses” as compared to nearby two-year institutions, according to a university news release.
OU executives are also set to recommend increases in tuition, fees and rates for students in the incoming fall 2018 cohort. The increase would be allotted for under the Ohio Revised Code, which allows 1.3 percent tuition increases, equal to the sum of the Consumer Price Index 60-month inflation rate.
Additionally, the university will recommend a 3.5 percent increase in residential housing rates on the Athens campus, as well as a 2 percent increase in Athens campus culinary service rates and a new fee — proposed at $6 per credit hour — that would affect incoming Fall Semester students on both the Athens and regional campuses.
Current students enrolled under the OHIO Guarantee would not be affected by any of the proposed increases.
The board will also consider more than a dozen capital projects, which, if approved, would cost the university about $56 million.
The most expensive projects on the board’s agenda are the $31 million renovation of the West Union Street Office Center and the $15.9 million renovation and demolition of various buildings at The Ridges. Additionally, several residence halls would receive restroom, water and roof upgrades.
The OU Board of Trustees will meet in Walter Hall on Jan. 18 and Jan. 19.


A report on the technology blog Barron's has pointed out that some of the big players in the data storage domain could be looking forward to acquire data storage firm 3PAR Inc., primarily owing to the company’s focus on high-end storage segment.
Shares of 3PAR Inc. skyrocketed by 15 percent on Monday after Barron’s reported that the company is prepping itself as an attractive target for some data storage giants, including IBM, HP, or NetApp.
The company has already garnered a significant reputation in the data storage sphere, with its cutting-edge technologies in thin provisioning, as well as designing top-notch clustered storage architecture.
Dubbed as “Utility Storage”, the handy architecture, according to the company, could help users to bring down their storage expenditure to half of the costs they had to bear initially.
The report further cited 3PAR as one of the beneficiaries of the expected surge in IT spending next year, and quoted that with as much as $100 million in cash, along with small debt, the company has done exceptionally well to wither away the aftermaths of economic recession.
Analysts are forecasting its revenue to grow by a considerable 22 percent to reach $236 million for the financial year ending in March next year, Thomson Reuters reported.
For cash rich companies, getting 3PAR could well prove to be a judicious investment for the future, when the global economy eventually becomes better. One name that hasn't yet been mentioned is Cisco; one however can expect the networking giant to be interested in venturing in high end storage to expand its portfolio.
