More than 80 WCS high school students are now part of the Tennessee Mid-State and All-State Choirs.
In addition to being part of the Mid-State Choirs, 38 WCS students were also selected for the Tennessee Music Education Association’s All-State Choirs.
To earn their place on the choirs, students were required to learn pieces of a cappella music from the Renaissance period, upload a cut of each piece and submit it for adjudication. The judges, made up of teachers and members of the Middle Tennessee Voice Association (MTVA), followed a rubric to select students for the choirs.
“Mid-State and All-State students not only get recognized for their individual accomplishments, they also get the unique experience of singing with students from all over Tennessee,” said Nolensville High choir director Cassidy Lenstrom. “After doing a virtual Mid-State last year, I am very excited that my students get to experience these choirs in person this year.”
Students in the Freshmen Honor Choirs will perform Thursday, January 20, at First United Methodist Church located at 165 West Thompson Lane in Murfreesboro. Students in the Mid-State Choirs will perform Friday, January 28, at First Baptist Church located at 108 Seventh Avenue South in Nashville. The All-State Weekend event will take place April 27-30 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville.

To Jonathon Wurth,
The flyer was not intended to represent mainstream Muslims (as you mentioned). Most Muslims are ethical people who simply want to live peacefully and to practice their religion of choice.
However, those in fundamentalist strands of Islam have recently been intruding on others’ right to free speech by threatening or using violence. It was these groups that the flyer parodied.
Groups that use or threaten violence (again, NOT most Muslims) deserve to be ridiculed. This cartoon should not be offensive to mainstream Muslims anymore than a flyer mocking the Ku Klux Klan should be offensive to mainstream Christians. Divisive extremism exists in many forms (both religious and non-religious) and never deserves respect.
Anyone identifying all Muslims as violent extremists is simply ignorant. In fact, attending the SSA meeting would have enlightened anyone holding such an incorrect view. We watched a video of a Muslim who denounced the recent violence and discussed pictures of assemblies of Muslims who held signs rejecting violent extremists. Hopefully moderate Muslims will increasingly take this approach, recognizing that the fault belongs to those who enact violence and not those who use “offensive” speech.
Ultimately, the flyer pointed out the absurdity of violence as a response to speech and ideas. It was obviously not meant to exacerbate tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims, but to highlight the existing and increasing tension between certain religious extremists and the freedom of expression, which is foundational to healthy societies.

Have you recently found out about the wonderful world of coffee? Have you just taken that first sip and found that you just cannot get enough of it? Do you have a friend or a family member that enjoys coffee so much and you want to know why? Well, coffee has remained to be one of the most popular beverages for years for a reason. Aside from its unique and exquisite taste, it is also a great energy booster at the start of the day. I know some people who simply cannot live without coffee in their lives. It is a great reward for people who are tired from their work and it is the perfect beverage to greet the new day.
K-cups and their coffee makers are manufactured by the company Keurig. K-cup brewers make use of little cups (called k-cups) that are pre-filled with ground coffee beans. You fill the tank with water, put your little k-cup in the slot, press a button, and within seconds you have the easiest cup of coffee that you can possibly make.
Only use airtight containers to store coffee in the refrigerator if the container you are using is airtight.If it is not airtight, the food smells will be absorbed and taint the coffee. Improper storage can also allow moisture to your coffee.
Blade grinders are the cheaper of the two options, and consist of a blade that spins at high speeds to chop up the coffee beans. They are often small and very portable – great for taking travelling.
I had been living in this part of the country for several years and had thrown away so many coffee makers that I had lost count. I reckoned that I could always get a new one through some coffee company promotion or a quick trip over to WalMart to buy a cheap coffee maker. I was prepared for any coffee emergency. I had one or two units in the bullpen, ready to spring into service at any time. Hey, I told you I love coffee.
The history of coffee makers have been lost from generation to generation, and nobody knows much regarding the history of coffee makers from the Yemen/Turks time to year 1818, when the very first percolator was invented. From that time, the history of coffee makers became populated with ideas and innovations.
Remove the coffee grounds: Using two spoons, the crust is now drug from the far side of the cup towards you. It is then scooped up and removed to another cup rinsing off the spoons each time coffee is removed. Remove as much of the crust as possible and get ready to slurp.
And the list may go on. While the benefits of coffee would be never-ending, drinking too much coffee is also considered dangerous to your health. Drinking coffee is very important to our body, till it’s not abused just like any other drink, as too much intake may lead to more complications on your health.

You know it’s officially the holiday season when the Galleria brings out its 55-foot tree adorned in more than 450,000 twinkling lights and 5,000 ornaments—which, by the way, takes 50 people more than 24 hours of round-the-clock work to install.
Dubbed the “Annual Ice Spectacular and Tree Lighting,” the event is a tradition for Houston. For 33 years, the Galleria Christmas tree has been one of the most meaningful holiday ceremonies in the city—they started hand-fluffing more than 1,000 branches back in September (no joke). This year, the Ice Spectacular and Christmas Tree lighting will take place on Saturday, November 12.
While the Christmas tree lighting will take place later on in the evening, the entire day is with a series of family-friendly activities—face painting, balloon art, and a coloring station will be available. Lookout for the skating Santa Claus and the fireworks display. For parents who want to get that head start on holiday gifts, keep your eyes peeled for specials from participating stores.
As usual, expect live music to be a part of the holiday spectacular. The Christmas tree lighting typically features performances from iconic singers. In years past, Gyth Rigdon, The Voice season 16 runner-up, and Houston native Dana Monique, The Voice season 20 contestant, have performed. This year, during the 45-minute tree-lighting show, American Idol’s Leah Marlene will perform. The 21-year-old had a successful run on the show, finishing season 20 in the top three. Her angelic voice will provide the holiday carols for the evening, welcoming Houston into the holiday season.
Family-friendly activities will begin at noon. At 6:00 p.m., the countdown to the grand lighting of the tree and fireworks will begin.
If you miss the lighting of the tree, no worries, you can take a gander at the holiday lights in the Galleria all season long. Let the holiday shopping commence!

Grasshopper is a folding electric bicycle concept. It combines the portability of a folding bike with the autonomy and comfort of an electric bike. The particular way the Grasshopper is folded also allows for it to be transported as a trolley.
The aim of the design is to satisfy those who like to use the bicycle in normal day life, but live in places/cities where the configuration of the terrain is too severe. People can go anywhere without using the car, simply commuting and using the public transportation system, combined with the use of the Grasshopper.
The innovative features are the combination of electric power and a folding structure, the recharging of the battery through regenerative braking and at home while exercising. And all this in a format that still allows for an all-terrain use of the bicycle. The folding is made easy by the use of quick-release fasteners. It is easily adjusted to any height of a person. While at home the Grasshopper can be adapted with a support which transforms it into an exercise bike that produces electricity and can charge your electronic devices.

Cage party animal for company events
The way Kathleen Rich-New sees it, you have two choices at a company holiday party.
And your choice could make or break you, career-wise.
“You can either show up as a competent professional who knows how to handle themselves in a social situation, or you can decide to show up, strut your stuff and have a good time,” says Rich-New. “Which means that could be used against you when they look at promotions or decide who goes on the layoff list.”
Rich-New does executive coaching through her Cape Canaveral, Fla.,-based firm, Clarity Works Consulting. But she’s worked more than 25 years in human resources. And she’s seen plenty. Rich-New recalls a party she attended when she worked for a well-known company.
“Two young professionals showed up, and they were obviously all about a good time,” Rich-New says. “They were totally inappropriate to the executives and their wives. Kind of like sidling up to one of the male executives. His wife was standing right next to him, and she was just flirting outrageously, obviously had had too much to drink, and so, on a professional level, she obviously wasn’t that.”
In the next round of downsizing, they both were let go. But did their party performance have anything to do with that decision?
“Oh, absolutely,” says Rich-New.
Turns out, the holiday party may not be the venue in which to let loose.
So, what seasonal celebration pitfalls should dutiful employees —or really anyone who has a social standing in the community —avoid? And what should you do in the event of the unfortunate?
We’ll break it down:
Really, do we need to tell you? Massive amounts of alcohol and company parties just don’t mix.
“I went to a holiday party one time where somebody ran through the glass sliding door because they didn’t realize it was closed, and they had been drinking too much,” says Katy Pisciotto, a human resources manager who has a master’s degree in international business. “It broke out of the frame, and when it fell, it shattered.”
People need to know their purpose for the party, Rich-New says.
You’re not Kim Kardashian. So, don’t dress like her.
“You aren’t a celebrity on the red carpet,” Rich-New says. “So, obviously, they get coverage because they have skin-tight clothes, they have slit skirts, and they have revealing cleavage. Well, if you’re showing up at a professional event, people will remember forever if you show up inappropriately. And again, now you can’t be trusted.”
Smile! Because you’re always on camera.
“At any given party, there’s multiple iPads, iPhones taking pictures,” Rich-New says. “The problem is if you do something inappropriate. Of course, we’ve all heard of the horror stories on Facebook of kids passed out, and their friends posted (pictures of) them. Anything that you do that’s inappropriate can be posted within minutes. Your name is tagged on it and it’s there forever.”
Traci Foster, who works in human resources for Bass Pro Shops in Palm Bay, Fla., concurs.
“Now we have social media, so anything that happens can now instantly go someplace and cost people their jobs,” Foster says.
“But you also have to think about what does your company culture represent, and what do you want your holiday party to say about you? Do you want to serve alcohol and have people maybe run the risk of an accident? . . . I think it all begins really with your management team and your leadership team and setting the example that way as well.”
Watch your mouth
If you wouldn’t say it in the office, don’t say it at the office party, such as off-color “jokes.”
“It is an after-hours event, typically,” Foster says. “It’s not always the alcohol, sometimes people tend to talk more freely in those situations while, still, you want it to be a respectful environment and don’t want to offend people.”
Leadership needs to set the tone, she says.
“If that’s a culture that you have within your environment day in and day out, it’s a little bit easier to pull those things off,” Foster says of staying politically correct and respectful.
So, what if you overdo it and find yourself shaking your head in post-party embarrassment?
“I definitely think you have to acknowledge the behavior and whoever you offended, a sincere heartfelt apology,” Pisciotto says. “Make restitution. If there was something damaged, offer to pay for it.”

As a big fan of the first two Borderlands games, I was somewhat hesitant when it was announced that there would be a game released on the last generation of consoles that takes place between the previous entries in the series. Then it was revealed that Gearbox, who headed up Borderlands and Borderlands 2, would not be taking the lead instead leaving it to 2K Australia to take charge. Unfortunately, this addition to the Borderlands universe falls flat up until the very end.
The story begins after Borderlands 2 with returning character, Athena, being captured by Lilith, Mordecai and Brick. Athena’s recollection of events is when the game takes place largely between Borderlands and Borderlands 2. The story focuses on Handsome Jack from the second game and how he gained the power to take over and take charge of Hyperion. Focusing on Handsome Jack is a great idea with him arguably being the best part of the previous game. However, all side plots and the new supporting cast fall woefully flat. At some point it seemed like 2K Australia realized this and focused more on returning characters such as Mad Moxxi, the original Vault Hunters and the four new ones for the Pre-Sequel in the latter half of the game. New characters such as Janey Springs, The Meriff and Pickle are forgettable and irritated more than entertained. Oh and Pickle is one of the most irritating characters in video games ever. I just thought that I’d throw that out there.
The four new playable characters are cool because they are pre-established from past games and DLC. For example, Athena played a supporting role in the General Knoxx DLC in the original game. Wilhelm was Handsome Jack’s bodyguard that you fight in Borderlands 2, Nisha is Jack’s lover that you also fight in the second game and the Claptrap is in DLC from the original game as well. While you might know the fates for some of these characters, it doesn’t diminish the fact that you get to play as those bosses which is neat. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel puts a heavier emphasis on each character’s Action Skill with shorter cooldowns allowing you to use them much more often. If you want full on offense, Nisha’s Showdown auto-lock ability might be your best choice. For defensive-minded players, Athena is your character with her Kinectic Aspis skill absorbing the pain enemies deal and throwing it back at them. Wilhelm is a balance of the two summoning his two drones, Saint and Wolf with one protecting you and the other going out and fighting for you. Lastly is Claptrap . . . his action skill is called VaultHunter.EXE and it results in one of many different effects which affect all members of the party. For example one is called Rubber Ducky where everyone will constantly bounce around. Another is where you guns will constantly fire resulting in chewing through all of your ammo (hint: if you don’t want to waste your ammo when this happens, constantly change guns). These are fun and funny the first few times but can result in frustration from others in the party. Luckily there are some that actually buff your friends instead of incapacitate them.
Besides the characters, other changes have been made to the gameplay. Since Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes place on the moon, there is no oxygen. So all of the character classes (with the exception of Claptrap) will have an oxygen pack that acts as another piece of equipment to be upgraded and swapped out. Luckily for those of you who choose Claptrap, well . . . you are picking a robot who doesn’t need to breath rendering this entire mechanic non-existent. For those players who pick the human characters, this oxygen mechanic doesn’t affect you too much one way or the other begging the question: why was this implemented in the first place? There are enough oxygen geysers emerging from the surface of the moon to negate the very slow health drip once your character has run out of air. It is frustrating that this was even a new feature when its effects are so negligible and the only thing that it adds is another meter on screen.
Other gameplay changes include the new cryo gun type freezing enemies while slag has been removed (which is explained in the story). Players now have jetpacks which use up some of your oxygen and allow you to glide across areas. The issue with this is that when you are jumping on the moon and using the jetpack, you are in lower gravity so you can fly far eventually being able to judge distances. However, when you are indoors, this freedom (and sometimes inconvenience) is ripped away from you resulting in a serious lack of mobility compared to those outdoor sections. All in all I would have rather the vertical aspect of the game be trimmed down and be an occasional gameplay feature rather than one that is so prominent.
Visually the game looks like a Borderlands game. That quasi-cell shading artstyle is back and hasn’t really changed. There is no dramatic upgrade in visuals because this is being made for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 which is not a too important. Enemies look good, but unfortunately the environments are repetitive for the most part. I get it that it is a moon, but most of it looks similar resulting in a boring to look at game sometimes including indoor and outdoor settings. All of this gets thrown out the window when you get to the last area, (in every aspect) but that will take you some time, albeit not as much as previous games.
The sound in the game is also hit or miss. Abilities, guns, grenades and the like all sound muffled when on the moon’s surface and more impactful when there is atmosphere. The returning voice actors come back to do a great job with the high point being a tie between Handsome Jack and some of Wilhelm’s dialogue. However, it is odd that Pandora’s moon is apparently Space Australia. Almost every new character has an Australian accent which was jarring since neither of the previous games had leaned in that direction. It makes sense that 2K Australia would look locally for voice talent, but it still caught me off-guard. Not only that, but these new characters never seem that funny. Either they use some term that I personally wasn’t familiar with or they were trying to force out humor like that friend who laughs at their own jokes. Unfortunately this happened to returning characters too, although not as frequently.
Like previous games, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel supports up to four player co-op which is the way to play. Borderlands games have never been very fun solo and this iteration is no different. New Game Plus also returns for those of you who want to dive back in.
However, you might not want to right away. This is without question the weakest game in the franchise thus far. From the, at times, cringe-worthy writing, to the new gameplay mechanics that don’t quite work out, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is somewhat of a disappointment when placed by its predecessors. The biggest saving graces of the game are that last area and the actual story involving Jack culminating in one of the best final bosses that I have faced in a long while. If you are a hardcore Borderlands fan, you will probably want to check this out, but for anyone else, this might not be for you.

First off, putting extra cash toward a mortgage early on, when most of the payments are going to interest, is the BEST time. If you pay an extra $1 on your mortgage today, you will save 30 years worth of interest (assuming a 30 year mortgage). If in 29 years you pay an extra dollar, you will only save 1 year worth of interest.
That said, there are lots of things that go into a decision like this. Do you have other debts? How stable is your income? What is the interest rate on your mortgage compared to any other debts you may have or potential investments you might make? How much risk are you willing to take? Etc.
Mortgages tend to be very low interest, and, at least in the U.S., the interest on them is tax-deductible, making the effective interest rate even lower. If you have some other loan, you are almost always better to pay the other loan off first.
If you don't mind a little risk, you are usually better off to invest your money rather than pay off the mortgage. Suppose your mortgage is 5%. The average return on the stock market is something like 7% (according to my buddy who works for Wells Fargo). So if you put $1000 toward your mortgage, you'd save $50 the first year. (Ignoring compounding for simplicity, changes the exact numbers but not the basic idea.) If you put that same $1000 in the stock market, than if it's a typical year you'd make $70. You could put $50 of that toward paying the interest on your mortgage and you'd have $20 left to go on a wild spending spree. The catch is that the interest on a mortgage is fixed, while the return on an investment is highly variable. In an AVERAGE year the stock market might return 7%, but this year it might return 20% or it might lose 10% or a wide range of other possible numbers. (Well, you might have a variable rate mortgage, but there are still usually some defined limits on how much it can vary.)

What could be nicer than a bacon buttie? Answer – a bacon and egg sarnie!
This is very quick and easy to make. It’s quite filling too. Get some suitable bread – I used a sub type of baguette – fry the eggs and fry the bacon. (I used loin bacon – it’s what we call back bacon in the UK.) Split the roll and butter it. Bung in the bacon and top with the eggs. Eat immediately.
I’m not going to tell you how to fry eggs, because I’m assuming you know how to do that. But if someone asks, I guess I’ll have a go. Crikey, we had enough trouble with my piece on how to boil an egg.

Re: July 29 letter from Charles Bader, “Challenging the arguments against gay marriage”
Bader's letter is no more than a misguided attempt at redefining marriage, stating, “The conventions of marriage are socially defined not ordained by a higher power and they should change when not appropriately inclusive.”
Conventions of marriage, as Bader expressly defines later in his letter, are sex acts including oral and anal sex. He also dismisses as a higher power nature's design to achieve the potential and very natural consequence of the male-female sexual union, conception.
Furthermore, Bader argues that society's confirmation of sterile heterosexual unions (seniors) as marriage also confirms the validity of accepting homosexual unions as marriage. Once again he rejects the design of nature, the undeniable purpose of the male-female matrix, recognized and affirmed as marriage by society for centuries even when the potential for procreation may be absent.
Finally, how much more contradictory could Bader’s claim be as he insists that the adoption of children provides homosexual unions with the same purpose and legitimacy as heterosexual unions? Could it be any more apparent that without male-female sexual unions homosexuals would be bereft entirely of the opportunity to foster a child, a fact so unmistakably clear as to resolve the issue conclusively?
Oh to what lengths finally will the liberals’ unbridled obsession with inclusiveness abuse our patience?

While most of the country was expressing its solidarity and compassion for the victims of Sunday's Orlando attack and the larger LGBT community, Donald Trump chose instead to show solidarity with himself.
"It makes me long for the days when Trump was just bragging about the size of his penis," Stephen Colbert joked on Tuesday's episode of "The Late Show."
"In his defense, Trump didn't come right out and call the president a secret Muslim, but a lot of people took it that way," Colbert added. Trump, faced with questions about what he meant by the comment, called in to "The Howie Carr Show" and said people will just have to "figure it out.”
Colbert then decided to clear things up for anyone still perplexed by Trump's rhetoric with his own "Figure-It-Out-A-Tron."
The points seemed to connect themselves.
"I see patterns where none exist!" Colbert said.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist

More Lies From The Corrupt Elite
Don’t believe them
Paul Craig Roberts
For two decades the offshoring of American jobs to Asia and Mexico has destroyed the careers and incomes of tens of millions of US citizens, the pension tax base for state and local governments, the federal tax base for Social Security and Medicare, and the opportunity society that once characterized the United States of America.
The rise in corporate profits that resulted from substituting foreign labor for American labor rewarded corporate executives and boards, hedge funds, large shareholders, and Wall Street with profits at the expense of the American population and the US economy.
The low rates of economic growth claimed since the alleged recovery from the 2008 financial crisis that resulted from financial deregulation, a huge mistake made by politicians in service to capitalist greed, is based entirely on under-measuring inflation. Allegedly, Americans have suffered no inflation for a decade, but anyone who buys anything knows that that is a lie. What jobs offshoring did is to destroy the growth in productivity based US consumer purchasing power that drove the US economy. In short, the short-sighted executives, boards, and Wall Street have impaired aggregate demand in the US.
The corrupt Federal Reserve under the incompetent Alan Greenspan ramped up consumer debt to take the place of the missing growth in consumer income. This works until consumers cannot carry any more debt. The subsequent Federal Reserve chairmen have kept the house of cards standing by pumping trillions of dollars into the prices of financial assets.
In my day such inappropriate Federal Reserve behavior would likely have been considered a felony. The Federal Reserve chairmen would possibly have been arrested and put on trial. In the least they would have been forced to resign for bailing out five banks at the expense of the US population.
As nothing was done, today we have financial asset prices based on money printing by the Federal Reserve and its accomplices—the Japanese central bank, the EU central bank, and the Bank of England. The financial criminality is worldwide.
As bad as the situation is, it is about to get worse. The same self-serving elites who told the insouciant American people that jobs offshoring would create more and better jobs for Americans are now telling them the same thing about robotics.
The accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, has been hired by someone to put out a “study” that robots will create more new jobs for displaced Americans then they will destroy. This lie will be repeated endlessly by the neoliberal economists and financial media, just as they repeated endlessly that jobs offshoring would do the same.
Having lost the manufacturing and professional skill jobs such as software engineering, robotics attacks the domestic service non-tradable jobs that could not be offshored, although some of them, such as nursing, could be filled by bringing in nurses on work visas under the false claim that there was a shortage of American nurses. Domestic service jobs have been approximately 90% or more of the new jobs for as long as I have reported on the jobs statistics, which is many years. Now, Americans are going to lose many domestic service jobs to robots.
Artificial intelligence is not necessary for robots to be programmed to do the domestic service jobs that are now the bulk of US employment. Moreover, the current level of robotics imposes the cost of doing business on the customer. If you doubt that, consider your experience the last time you tried to contact a service provider.
People are being made irrelevant. Before long, they won’t even know how to drive a car, because self-driving cars will take that function also away from them. The insouciant humans will sit there in the car being brainwashed by the propaganda from their video screens. They will cease to experience a human existence, and, thereby, will become disposable.
Other than disposing of them, how else do you get rid of millions of peoples who have no jobs to support them, peoples whose support are likely to be regarded as a dead-weight loss on the profits of the rich?
Robotics cannot possibly work for a humane society unless the means of production are socialized. Unfortunately, Western peoples are so brainwashed and insouciant that they are incapable of revolution.
Do you want to be erased? That is what American Capitalism is doing to you.

great experience great doctor. friendly staff. they were very helpful with my insurance questions and put me at ease with my surgery. i definitely would recommend him to anyone who needs an oral surgeon.
Delay in the billing I got two wisdom tooth extractions done , the doctor was experienced and did a good job. This was in the beginning of November and was promised to get my money reimbursed as I paid upfront at the Oral and Maxillofacial surgery and implant specialists as they had not submitted the correct pre-approval to my dental insurance.
After following up with them and my insurance found out that they are waiting for a denial from my medical insurance , so that they can send it to my dental insurance. After many reminders , there was no response. When I contacted my medical insurance I got to know that they haven't received any claim from the doctors office and later on got to know that they had submitted it to the wrong address. It was me who made them realize this although it was their job to find out why they haven't received the denial. After every week of following up with them and my dental insurance till the date , they still haven't submitted my claim to the dental insurance.
Really irritated with this whole process, they say they are doing their best job, if this is their best way of dealing with bills I'm sorry I wouldn't recommend anyone to visit this office.

§ 37. Mr. R. MORRISON
asked the Minister of Transport (1) the number of motor cars registered for the first four months of the present year, and similar figures for the same period last year and in 1914;
(2) the number of commercial motor vehicles which have been registered up to the last available date this year, and similar figures for the same period last year and in 1914?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)
As the reply involves the quotation of a number of figures, I propose, with the hon. Member's consent, to circulate it with the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Following is the answer:
|Class of vehicle.||Number of licences current on 28th February.|
|1. Private cars (i.e., cars taxed on horsepower)||498,188||572,444|
|2. Goods carrying vehicles||232,482||258,636|
|3. Hackney vehicles||77,424||73,560|
|4. Tractor vehicles||2,568||2,959|
§ Corresponding figures are not available for the year 1914, but the number of licences issued in the financial year 1913–14 for private cars was 132,015 and for hackney vehicles 51,167. Commercial goods vehicles were not licensed in 1914, and I have no information as to the number registered in that year.

Banks disallowed to hold more than 30% stake in other firms
MUMBAI: The country’s largest private sector lender, ICICI Bank, has got a respite for three years to continue holding more than 30 per cent ownership in its insurance arms – ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd.
A notification from the Central government said the “private sector lender ICICI Bank has been exempted from provisions of the Banking Regulation Act relating to shareholding above 30 per cent in its two insurance subsidiaries.”
The Sub-section (2) of Section 19 of the Banking Regulation Act 1949 provides that no banking company will hold more than 30 per cent shares in any company.
“As previously announced by ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd, it has proposed an acquisition of another general insurance business, which if consummated will result in ICICI Bank’s shareholding reducing to less than 50 per cent,” the statement explained.
Last month, ICICI Lombard had announced the merger of Bharti Axa’s non-life insurance business with itself.
“The exemption during its operation may permit both ICICI Lombard General Insurance and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance to consider strategic options such as mergers and acquisitions or capital increase, which have the potential of reducing the bank’s shareholding and thus comply with the respective banking regulations,” said ICICI Bank.
However, it said there are no current plans for the bank to divest to less than 50 shareholdings in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance.
“There would be no impact on the current distribution arrangements. It may be further mentioned that the above is unrelated to the bank’s current assessment of its financial position and outlook,” the bank said further.

The Bachelor Australia has had some very interesting storylines unfold, but none quite as unexpected as this. Vakoo Kauapirura and Rachael Arahill have seemingly ditched this year's Bachelor Matt Agnew in favour of each other. New photos published on Monday show the reality TV stars on a date at a Sydney restaurant.
Watch Below: The Bachelor Contestant Rachael Arahill Arrives In A Wedding Dress.
"Rachael and Vakoo formed a really strong friendship in the mansion and their feelings for each other quickly developed," a source said. "They ended up hooking up in the mansion one night after one of the first cocktail parties. It was never filmed and producers never found out about it."
“They started spending lots of time together after that. The girls would always see them together, going for walks alone, and started to question if they were more than friends but they never confirmed it."
The pair have been giving fans hints for weeks that there may have been something more than a friendship.
“Thankful we went on this crazy journey or I wouldn’t of met my soulmate,” Rachael captioned a photo of the pair to Instagram.
“I love you so much!” Vakoo replied.
Following her elimination, Vakoo all but confirmed in a cryptic Instagram post that she’d found love in the mansion. “I may not have found love with the Bach but I found love with some extraordinary women,” she wrote.
Rachael is still currently in the mansion, but its expected Matt asks her to leave after it comes to light she had been flirting with someone from the crew.

The show is produced by Fremantle; it is unclear whether the company would pursue a new season elsewhere following its cancellation by ABC, firts reported by Variety.

text: Okay, here is a news flash: You’re one of a kind! No one in the world is exactly like you, and being unique is a fabulous thing! It’s important to keep this in mind whenever you start spouting gloom and doom about how much longer it’s taking you to lose those last 10 pounds than your jogging partner, or why your legs aren’t shaping up quite like your gym instructor’s. Instead of thinking negative, be positive and have more faith in yourself and your hard work! You have your own healthy-weight range, based on your height and metabolic rate, which determines how quickly your body burns calories. Furthermore, different body types respond to exercise in different ways. If you’re pear-shaped, which typically means you carry most of your weight in you hips and thighs, you may never achieve the same athletic tone as someone who’s naturally lean. It’s just not physically possible, and you know what? That is perfectly fine! The last thing you should be doing is comparing yourself with others and obsessing about the number on the scale. Focus on achieving your weight-loss goals on your own timeline. Do what’s right for you, relish each and every accomplishment!

After loving Annihilation (Book 1 in the Southern Reach trilogy), and not really loving, but not hating Authority (Book 2), I was excited for Acceptance, which is book 3, and the final book in the trilogy.
Acceptance starts pretty much right after Authority. Control and Ghost Bird (the new name for the biologist) are back in Area X, and further explore its mysteries. The stories of the psychologist (from Annihilation), Ghost Bird, Control, and the former lighthouse keeper are told during different time points throughout the book.
Acceptance was the hardest to read of the trilogy (for me), because I already had so many questions, and I’m the type of person who likes her questions answered! That’s probably why I never watched the TV show Lost when it was on.
Another hard part to accept (hah!) about Acceptance was the unreliability of the narrators. Some of that I liked, but you eventually get the feeling that you can’t trust anyone. Also, this book was a much slower read for me. It didn’t have the creeping dread or the impending sense of doom I felt with the first book.
Some questions are answered, but a lot aren’t. You learn that there were way more that twelve expeditions, and the journals from those expeditions are absolutely creepy. I think my biggest issue with this book is that the magic isn’t there for me. Area X felt so real and fleshed out in the first and some of the second book. The third book just didn’t do it for me.

The Cyber Front Z army, a viral so-called ‘people’s movement’, is just another troll farm being used to boost Russian propaganda on mainstream social media, as seen by recent ISD research. ISD analyst and Russia expert Julia Smirnova features in this article by VICE News explaining how the “army’s” Telegram channel makes it seem that this is a grassroots movement by openly posting directions on how to boost pro-Kremlin content, when in reality the content is being boosted by for-profit trolls.
“The Cyber Front Z channel openly calls on its ‘supporters’ to write comments under specific posts—mostly by Russian citizens and organizations that oppose the war—probably to create an impression that those comments are written by people who genuinely support Cyber Front and not by trolls who are paid by the state or one of the pro-Kremlin oligarchs. However, the [St. Petersburg–based media outlet] Fontanka investigation makes it clear that this is a classic troll factory, with people being paid for the comments.”
According to the article, the channel is claiming to be combatting disinformation coming from Ukraine and the West by pushing their accounts of the “special operation”, while encouraging Russians to comment on those labelled as enemies because it is their patriotic duty to support their military.
Julia Smirnova is an Analyst at ISD and ISD Germany, focusing on proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy myths, hate speech and extremist ideologies online.

A Deeper Dive is a music blog written and created by artist Caroline Janes. Janes, a senior at Texas State University, began posting on her blog as an assignment for her Fundamentals of Digital and Online Media course she took in the Spring of 2019. Her blog, much like this one, focuses on the indie genre and its multitudes of subgenres. Janes writes retrospective reviews of years in indie music, stretching from 2019 to 2014. She also highlights specific albums and artists by diving deeper into their discussion, such as artists like STRFKR and The Black Keys. Throughout A Deeper Dive, Janes provides a personal and thoughtful commentary on indie projects and musicians that is certain to excite and entertain.
The posts that comprise the bulk of A Deeper Dive are year in review articles. Janes focuses on years that were memorable for the indie community. Within each year in review she puts the spotlight on popular indie releases and discusses their impact as well as how each album works with the artists’ extended discography. These reviews can be a “trip down memory road” for many readers, as they focus on classic and sometimes forgotten albums by major indie artists. Other posts in A Deeper Dive take a closer look at a singular subject. Janes puts two indie bands, The Black Keys and STRFKR, under the microscope and analyzes their recent releases and popular albums, commenting on both their studio work and live performances.
What sets A Deeper Dive apart from other indie music blogs is Janes’ personality that permeates through her writing and art that she includes in several articles. Her personal touch adds an extra layer of flare and intrigue, which makes her articles interesting and captivating to read. Although some posts are somewhat formulaic, her twist of introspective creativity keeps the articles from becoming boring or repetitive. Janes also writes for KTSW 89.9, the student run radio station on Texas State campus, focusing on the same indie genre. She dives further in depth into the world of indie rock in her KTSW articles.

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive James Dimon will receive $28 million in total compensation for 2016, up 3.7% — or $1 million — from 2015, according to a Thursday securities filing.
The chairman and chief executive’s pay package includes $21.5 million in performance-related restricted stock and $5 million in cash. His base salary is unchanged at $1.5 million, according to the filing. The total compensation is up from his 2015 pay package of $27 million.
This is the second year Dimon is being paid in so-called performance share units, a type of restricted stock that has requirements on how long it must be held and has the possibility of being worth nothing based on the performance of Dimon and the bank.
J.P. Morgan’s board awarded Dimon total pay of $28 million in 2016 based on strong performance across businesses, risk management, customers and leadership, according to the filing. The bank’s stock gained nearly 31% in 2016, though much of the increase came from a postelection bump across the banking sector. Before the November election, J.P. Morgan’s stock

Ottawa, ON – This was the most important game of the season. Game 7 went down inside the Earl Armstrong Arena and Ottawa was able to win the game in double overtime to snap Casselman’s five year championship reign.
F/2OT | Ottawa 3, Casselman 2 | OJC wins series 4-3
Both teams would trade leads that didn’t last long. It started with Casselman opening the scoring from Joel Hunt on the power-play, then 37 seconds later, Thomas Freel was able to pot home his 7th of the playoffs.
The Ottawa Canadians would grab their first lead from Devin Saumur in the third but it would only last for 13 seconds. Frédérick Gagnier got his 5th of the playoffs to send the game to OT for the second consecutive game.
The First OT solved nothing but Noel de Kemp was the hero, sending the Ottawa Canadians to the championship series for the first time since 2013. Jacob Ramalho collected two assists and was one of their best players throughout the night. They will now face the Perth Blue Wings in the Barkley Cup Finals starting this week.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is sure to be one of the biggest phones of 2017, and so it’s no surprise that the rumor mill keeps trying to reveal details about the device ahead of its official reveal.
The latest report includes several renders of what’s said to be the Samsung Galaxy S8. These images, which come from @OnLeaks and Gear India, are based on factory CADs and claim to show both versions of the Galaxy S8: one with a 5.8-inch display and one with a 6.2-inch screen.
Both phones look fairly similar, sporting curved edge screens, USB Type-C ports, and 3.5mm headphone jacks. Also expected to be included with both Galaxy S8 phones is a 12-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel front camera, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a microSD slot. The smaller GS8 will reportedly have a 3000mAh battery, while the larger model is expected to have a 3500mAh battery.
There are a couple of other details worth noting about the design of these phones. The fingerprint reader that’s been present on the front of recent Galaxy S phones has been moved to the back of the Galaxy S8, to the right of the rear camera. Also, there’s a button on the right of the phones that’s said to be dedicated to activating Bixby, rumored to be Samsung’s new digital assistant that’ll compete with Apple’s Siri and Google’s Assistant.
It’s rumored that Samsung will officially announce the Galaxy S8 on March 29.

Thread for encouraging ideas & discussion on optimizing ibXXX stablecoin pools on Curve. A full list of current Curve pools is included in the “Background” section below.
Members of the team or community are encouraged to suggest, discuss or debate possible new implementations.

The Keep3r protocol comes under pressure in two main areas with regards to liquidity pools on Curve;
1. Attracting liquidity
2. Maintaining balance of assets in pools
1. Attracting Liquidity;
Keep3r has two main methods of attracting liquidity to pools. These are;
- Incentivizing the pool by utilizing treasury-held gauge vote directing assets (such as veCRV or vlCVX) to ensure new CRV emissions are directed to pools containing Fixed Forex assets
- Further incentivizing the pool by directing new KP3R token emissions to the pool in the form of rKP3R
For the first of these two methods, the main challenge is the strain it puts the protocol under to accumulate gauge vote directing assets, in particular, this is a challenge due to the number of stables and pools that have to be supported. The protocol acquired 798,701 CVX tokens at a total cost of $21.4m between 19th December 21 & 24th March 22, and acquired 552,196 CRV at a total cost of $1.5m in April 22.
On the second, the main impacts will be on the relative market price of the KP3R token (at a basic level, higher volume of available token = lower price) but is also further impacted by the volume of emissions allocated to incentive curve pools (determined by the Multisig) & by the lack of aligned incentives for current vKP3R holders to direct new rKP3R allocations to each pool (issue further discussed in this forum post)
A further issue arises where the assets pooled alongside Fixed Forex stables are not currently being incentivized either on the CRV emission side or, in some cases, at all by the protocols that own the assets on the other side of the pool. A short summary;
- ANGLE only currently incentivizes the agEUR + ibEUR pool with ANGLE tokens (i.e. no CRV emissions directed to this pool)
- For USDC paired pools, Circle does not contribute any kind of incentives at all
- For Synthetix assets (i.e. sEUR, etc.) there are no SNX rewards allocated to the pools
2. Maintaining balance of assets in pools;
The challenge of maintaining a balance of assets in each pool is further explained and outlined in this forum post with an expectation that when imbalances occur there are either clear methods incentivizing users to restore the peg or the protocol takes on this burden
Please use the comments section below to add any new suggestions, or to debate any suggestions proposed by other community members.
It would be helpful if you could indicate what benefits, risks or supplementary steps should be taken to ensure peg of adjusted pools.

Now that they’ve completed their royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be a little concerned about what their future looks like. Royal expert Omid Scobie has suggested that, while they are happy to live lives outside of intense media scrutiny, the couple is uneasy about some other parts of their new arrangement.
One of the biggest concerns comes with the couple saying goodbye to their royal staff, which they had come to rely on heavily during their time as royals.
“For Meghan saying goodbye to her staff didn’t just represent a sad ending for the relationship that they had working together, it also represented the end of her time as a working member of the Royal family,” Scobie said in an interview with Access Hollywood.
“The emotions were heightened and there were tears, there were hugs. I think for Meghan she really appreciates the work that this very small team, that has become like a family to the couple, have done for them.”
Scobie also said that the staff was instrumental in helping the couple fend off external attacks. “They’ve helped them fend off the attacks from the tabloids and helped them organize tours and the amazing engagements,” Scobie said. “It is that team that make all of that happen. For Harry and Meghan to leave that behind there is probably going to be a sense of fear as well.”
Scobie also acknowledged that the next period of their lives would come with a huge number of adjustments.
“They will be starting with an entirely new group of people once they are fully out of the royal family,” he noted. “That is going to take some time to really get used to.”
He also noted that they’ll be losing a lot of royal privileges and titles as they transition out of the family. While they always knew that would be a possibility, they are just now starting to face the reality that they will lead different, less grandiose lives now.
Scobie concluded by saying that the transition has been an emotional roller coaster for the couple. “It was actually a very tearful moment as she said goodbye to some of the aides that have worked closest to her for the past year or so and really sort of protected Harry and Meghan through some really difficult times. It was a tough moment but I think also one that came with hope because, of course, Harry and Meghan are moving into a new chapter that will hopefully give them the life that they want,” Scobie said.


Samsung’s Galaxy S9 will NOT debut at CES 2018, Galaxy X may instead, however
Following earlier reports claiming Samsung would showcase the Galaxy S9 in some capacity at CES 2018 in January, the company has itself stepped in to clarify that such an occurrence is “unlikely”.
This is according to a report from The Korea Herald, stating that the comment comes direct from Samsung itself. The report also goes over some other existing rumours and claims that the Galaxy S9 will feature a near 90% screen-to-body ratio compared to the Galaxy S8 series 84%. Contrary to earlier reports, however, it’s now thought that Samsung will not implement an under-display fingerprint scanner; apparently Samsung has switched suppliers for the scanner components.
According to the publication’s source “familiar with the matter,” it is “highly unlikely for Galaxy S9 to have an in-display fingerprint scanner as the technical challenges are still left unaddressed.” Apparently the scanner will be located on the rear panel.
The news stacks onto other recent details which we have reported earlier this week, most notably that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will ship in four different colours; black, blue, gold, and a new purple hue.
Lastly, there’s some new speculation in light of the word from Samsung that the Galaxy S9 will not be coming to CES; some sources indicate that instead we may be seeing the rumoured folding and flexible OLED Samsung Galaxy X at the January expo instead. As with the earlier story about the Galaxy S9, however, we expect if this is happening it will be behind closed doors for Samsung’s partners only.

Some Queensland Liberal National Party MPs are concerned about Coalition Senator Ian Macdonald’s call for a review of the zone tax for major coastal cities such as Cairns and Townsville.
The Coalition flagged a general tax review as part of its northern Australia whitepaper.
Senator Macdonald says zone tax concessions may no longer be appropriate in Cairns and Townsville, given the cities’ “modern amenities” and should be increased in other areas.
“We need to have a complete review and see if places like Mackay, Townsville and Cairns, which currently get a zone tax allowance of about $50 a year, are still in that remote category,” Senator Macdonald said.
“Do they have access to good hospitals, theatres and schools and cultural destinations and are they still in a situation where they need encouragement to bring people to the area?
“Quite frankly, does the tax allowance of $50 or so, does that encourage people to move from Melbourne to Townsville?
“I think from a government point of view, to make it effective in Normanton or Julia Creek or Alice Springs, there needs to be savings, and perhaps we need to look at where the current zone tax system applies.
“Would it be better to remove it quite frankly from places that have everything and divert it to areas of Australia where they really do need assistance to encourage people to move there?”
Incentives ‘important to grow regional Queensland’
However, the state LNP Members for Cairns, Gavin King, and neighbouring Barron River MP, Michael Trout, disagree.
Mr King says the incentives are important to grow regional Queensland.
“The urban centres of northern Australia is where the absolute vast majority of growth will be,” he said.
Mr King says tax concessions are still needed to boost the north’s population.
“I think we need to continue to support regional cities, regional centres in order that they can cope with that growth, because as much as we want to grow some of those really, really small very remote areas, we’re not going to grow or be able to grow those areas as much as we’re able to grow places like Cairns,” he said.
He says such a move would fly in the face of the State Government’s commitment to grow regional Queensland.
“If we want to grow cities like Cairns we are going to need these type of incentives, these type of benefits encouraging people to move to a place like Cairns,” he said.
“So I don’t support the Senator’s call because there’s a longer term vision at play here and that is we want to grow regional Queensland and these type of tax zones are just another important piece of the puzzle.”
Removing concession ‘does not make sense’
Mr Trout says the concessions are warranted, given cost-of-living pressures.
“The cost of doing business in northern Australia comes at a far higher average than in the south and your fuel you’re paying more, so I think if there’s any incentive for doing business in north Queensland it should be applauded,” he said.
Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill says removing the concession does not make sense.
“We can pay more for petrol, we pay more for insurance and now you’ve got Senator Ian Macdonald suggesting we shouldn’t have a tax rebate, no,” she said.
“Let’s have a look at the whole situation as part of the northern Australia policy. Let’s make sure we develop a policy that will let these regions grow.”
Cairns Mayor Bob Manning says if the concessions are withdrawn, other incentives would be necessary to attract people to the region.
He says on the face of it, Senator Macdonald’s comments appear to contradict his party’s election commitment to develop northern Australia.
“I can see where he’s coming from but I don’t think he would get much support from the region unless we look at this in a broader context involving other issues involving northern Australia,” he said.
“You’re not going to let go of what you’ve got until you know you’re going to get something better or something more meaningful.”
Editor’s note: The ABC originally reported that Senator Macdonald said tax concessions could be “withdrawn”, but the story has been updated to show the Senator has called for a “complete review” to see if certain regional cities are still classed as remote.

Slot or Trench Drains
Slot Guard™ is a patented, high performance, and cost effective system designed to reduce sediment and debris flow into slot or trench drains during construction. Installed above ground, it significantly improves worker safety, sediment control, ease of maintenance, removal and monitoring. Slot Guard is a better alternative to installing gravel or sand bags over slot/trench drains during construction.
Slot Guard size ranges from 6″ to 20″ wide and is wide enough to fit most styles of slot or trench drains. Install by laying on top of grate and attaching to grate with tie wire. Tie wire is wrapped around the cross-bars in the drain opening and up through the Slot Guard.
A renovation project at a UPS© facility in Kentucky had nearly 500 linear feet of a trench drain across the shipping docks. The contractor installed Slot Guard™ 84×12 to protect the 12” wide trench drain.
Long drains on the AZ DOT Connect 202 Project were successfully protected with 6″ Slot Guard.
Route 395 Near Bishop, CA
Slot Guard can be installed with GR8 Guards or Combo Guards to cover grates and catch basis which are sometimes built in proximity to the slot drains. Slot Guards can be overlapped end-to-end and made continuous to protect long drains. Drainage Inlet Protection needs to be cleaned periodically, expecially after heavy storms to clear debris, sediment and other organic matter to prepare for following storms and to prevent backup.

HOOVER, AL (WBRC) - South Carolina's Will Muschamp made his SEC Media Days debut as the Gamecocks new head coach on Thursday. Muschamp took over the program in December after former head coach Steve Spurrier resigned.
Muschamp along with players Deebo Samuel, Marquavius Lewis, and Mason Zandi spoke to the media on Thursday.
Muschamp was the head coach at Florida from 2011-2014 before joining Auburn's staff as the defensive coordinator in 2015.
"Gus and I have a great relationship and I really appreciate him giving me an opportunity. That was my third stint at Auburn. As excited as my family was to move to Columbia, South Carolina, we were extremely disappointed to leave Auburn, Alabama," said Muschamp.
South Carolina returns four starters on offense, and six on defense. "I've been really pleased with the reception of our players. Any time there's change or coaching changes, and those things happen, there's resistance. We've had very little. Our guys have really bought into what we're doing," Muschamp added.
South Carolina will open the season on September 1, 2016, at Vanderbilt.

Kim Kardashian is pregnant with a baby boy – and her husband Kanye West is getting the son that he always wanted. When Kim announced on Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she and Kanye had finally conceived and North West had a sibling on the way, CDL reported that the reality TV star was pregnant with a boy, now multiple sources are coming forward and confirming the news. Kim and Kanye were actually spotted on June 1 perusing the boy section of a kids’ clothing store, further fueling rumors that they would be having a son.
According to a new report in US Weekly, sources close to Kim and Kanye are backing up CDL’s report and confirming that they are expecting a son. The magazine’s insider dished, “Kanye loves Nori more than anything, but to make his world complete he really wanted a little boy, an heir. He’s overjoyed!” Kim was apparently just as thrilled as Kanye when she learned that she was pregnant because she “always wanted two kids, a boy and a girl.”
It’s really just common sense that Kim Kardashian is pregnant with a boy, she and Kanye both expressed their eagerness to have a son and a brother for North West n interviews over the course of the past year. And, Kim conceived via IVF treatments. The celebrity couple has millions of dollars at their disposal, and they both desperately wanted a son, it would be absurd for them to not have male embryos implanted. When money is not an issue, and you are seeing top fertility doctors – you have the option of deciding whether you get pregnant with a baby boy or a baby girl.
Is there any doubt in your mind that Kim Kardashian will give birth to a baby boy? How do you think they will make the official gender announcement, even though we all already know what she is having? What will couple name their “heir?” Let us know what you think in the comments below!
FameFlynet: Kim Kardashian June 9 and 10 photos with small baby bump despite the spanx and girdle – don’t squeeze the baby boy!

According to Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the Bush administration has been quietly lobbying members of Congress and state governors to oppose California’s strict greenhouse-gas emissions rules for cars. In December 2005, the state submitted a request to the U.S. EPA for a waiver it needs to implement its standards. Since then, the EPA has been stalling, promising a ruling that’s been nearly two years in the making. Waxman’s committee uncovered emails between officials at the U.S. Department of Transportation and the White House Council on Environmental Quality and conducted interviews of DOT staff, all of which he says point to a concerted campaign approved by the White House and led by Transportation Secretary Mary Peters to gather opposition to California’s standards. In a letter to the CEQ demanding a condemnation of the lobbying, Waxman wrote, “The administration is trying to stack the deck against California’s efforts to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from motor vehicles. It suggests that political considerations — not the merits of the issue — will determine how EPA acts.” California’s pending standards would cut greenhouse gases from new cars by nearly 30 percent by 2016; 11 other states have adopted California’s rules, but no one can act on them until California’s waiver is granted.

Mainstream Feminism Struggling to negotiate and come to terms with an identity, many women of color are not as eager as white women to give up their racial or ethnic distinctiveness. I can't speak for anyone else, but I find you as appealing as any and all other races of men on the planet. At the first sight of Sandra no one, not the nurse, her mother, father or neighbours would admit the obvious. Like sexism, racism is a problem that is structural and endemic to American culture and needs to be addressed systematically, along with class and all other systems of domination. In this way, Western feminists repeat and redirect their racism and condescension toward Muslim women and third world women in general, while conveniently avoiding the sexism and oppression in their own backyards. Similarly, the research on household location, work, and commuting often asks questions, directly or indirectly, about household gender regimes Hanson and Pratt ; Rapino and Cooke ; Timmermans et al.
What are the implications for theory? Slavery existed as a sexual economy, and that black bodies have always been unintelligible both breeders and concubines.
