We killed Soleimani, the number-one terrorist in the world by every account. Bad person. Killed a lot of Americans, killed a lot of people. We killed him. And when the Democrats try and defend him, it’s a disgrace to our country. They can’t do that.
We have the highest job numbers. Today, it was just announced, we have more people working in the United States than ever before in the history of our country – almost 160 million people. We’re doing an incredible job.
It’s actually just walking away from the Democrat party, no longer being a Democrat. The reason so many people are walking away today is because the party is inherently un-American.
Quiet. You just have to take a look at the pictures.
Nervous Nancy, how about Nervous … How about her district? Her district is so filthy dirty. It’s filthy dirty with all of the things, I won’t say it, but the needles and everything else. These are areas that were, 10 years ago, the best in the country and now they’re disgusting.
Bernie and The radical left cannot protect your family and they cannot protect our country, nor do they want to, I think.
The Iranian Regime Is Killing The Victims Of The Ukrainian Plane. As you see in this picture we were always smiling. We were always happy. We had a good life. Iranian regime forces kill people like flies.
Maryam Rajavi Overthrow This Regime. The elimination of Qassem Soleimani was a strategic blow to his regime.
Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash.

“If sanctions are to apply they must be approved by the UN and those that are being imposed on the Russian Federation have not,” the 90-year-old said after meeting visiting foreign minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday.
“They are illegal sanctions. So you have a lawless part of our international community seeking to dominate the rest of the world and we say no! That must never be allowed to go on.”
The Russian minister won diplomatic support during a visit that also saw the countries sign agreements on economic, military and technical co-operation. “Our friends in Zimbabwe and the Russian leadership are convinced that any solution must be sought based on international law,” Lavrov said.
The United States and European Union (EU) have hit Russia with tough new sanctions on its banking, energy and defence sectors over its actions in Ukraine. Moscow recently annexed the Crimea and supports the secessionist rebels in the east of the country. The conflict has killed more than 2 700 people across Ukraine’s industrial heartland.
Despite Ukrainian lawmakers ratifying a landmark EU pact on Tuesday that steers the ex-Soviet state closer to the West and pledged autonomy for pro-Russian rebels waging war in the east, Russia signalled it had no intention of backing down in the most serious East-West standoff since the Cold war, with the announcement it plans to boost its troop presence in annexed Crimea. – Sapa, AFP

The new aerodynamically-styled 1.4 litre Suzuki Baleno 5-door compact hatchback is a leader in the space race.
Built on a completely fresh platform that will be used by other future Suzuki models, the efficient five-seater Baleno has a Cd drag coefficient figure of just 0.299, making it the most streamlined production Suzuki to date.
The new car is additional to the Suzuki model lineup and launches in New Zealand soon after its European debut.
In spite of a modest overall length of 3,995mm, the Baleno offers a remarkable amount of front and rear legroom, easy entry and exit and a deep 355 litre capacity boot which is more than twice the capacity of the Swift’s load area. There is 20 mm more room between the front seats and the 805 mm of rear seat legroom is a 70 mm increase compared to the Swift.
As well as being economical, the well-equipped Baleno embodies new technology that makes the car strong and safe while reducing weight. The latest model fills an important gap in the Suzuki lineup, positioned between the top-selling Swift and the S-Cross.
“The new generation Baleno provides a welcome opportunity for Swift owners who need more room, with perhaps growing families, as well as attracting more motorists to Suzuki,” said Gary Collins, Automobile General Manager of Marketing for Suzuki New Zealand.
“While priced less than rival models, the Baleno offers an amazing amount of interior room and an enviable level of standard equipment,” he said.
Based on the iK-2 concept vehicle exhibited by Suzuki at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Baleno is 145 mm longer than the Swift, 50 mm wider and sits on a wheelbase of 2,520 mm, a 90 mm increase. It also has wider tracks front and rear and, in keeping with the model profile, is 40 mm lower.
The longer wheelbase and a shortened engine room with the compact mechanicals have contributed to the extended cabin area. While body rigidity increases by 10 per cent, Suzuki engineers have used technology employed on the new Vitara and other measures to achieve a 15 per cent reduction in weight.
Although larger than the Swift, the Baleno’s new platform is a remarkable 100 kgs lighter, a key factor in the car’s good power to weight ratio and impressive fuel economy. The body-in-white weighs just 196 kg, outstandingly low for a car of this size. In the combined official fuel cycle test, the manual Baleno averaged 5.1 litres/100 km, a 7.3 per cent improvement over the Swift.
The impact absorbent body is designed to lessen injuries sustained by pedestrians in vehicle-to-person collisions. High tensile steel sheets are used extensively in the body and the shapely body incorporates a steeply raked windscreen for good air flow.
Aerodynamics are improved by the A-pillar design, a smoother under-floor aids air flow as does a rear-end spoiler. The C-pillar and even the shaping of the rear lamps also benefit the car’s slippery shape.
Baleno boasts a distinctive liquid-flow shape with a bold V-shaped grille, “floating roof” design and horizontal chrome strip separating the rear window frame from the tailgate.
“The new platform incorporates an optimum frame shape,” said Rodney Brown, Automobile Technical Manager for Suzuki New Zealand. “By increasing rigidity and reducing weight, the design results in better fuel efficiency, safety, handling, stability and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels.”
Extensive use of 980MPa and 780MPa high tensile steel contributes toward the light but rigid body structure. The frame has smooth curving lines with fewer joints that enable reductions in required reinforcements. A trim overall 895 kg weight for the car is as much as 30 per cent lighter than similarly sized opposition brands.
Kunihiko Ito, chief engineer on the Baleno project, said, “We set our sights on developing the ideal hatchback, one that makes no compromises, giving an elegant, sophisticated and grown-up character.” Development work included fine-tune testing in Europe and the car will be progressively introduced to 100 global markets.
The tried and tested double overhead chain-driven camshaft, four valves per cylinder, 1,373 cm3, K14B 4-cylinder engine from the Swift has received minor changes for the Baleno, including modifications to the cylinder head shape and pistons. These have affected the compression ratio which rises from 10.0 to 1 to 11.0 to 1, resulting in better thermal efficiency.
The variable valve technology, fuel injected power plant is equipped with multi-point fuel injection and produces 68 kW of power at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. It emits a low 118 grams/km of CO2 with manual transmission, and the combination of an efficient engine and low weight of the car results in an outstanding 7.60 kW/100 kg power to weight ratio and best in class fuel economy.
A computerised control system ensures improved engine management control for better fuel economy and increased efficiency for the compact power plant.
A proven four-stage automatic transmission with overdrive is optional on GLX versions of Baleno and is standard on the LTD. The entry level GLX is also available with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Front suspension is by MacPherson struts and coil springs while the rear comprises torsion beam and coil springs.
Six air bags, ESP, ABS anti-lock brakes with EBD are standard, and all three versions of Baleno for New Zealand include a reverse camera for safety and convenience. Included on GLX models at no extra cost is privacy glass for the rear side and hatchback window, Smartphone audio with six speakers, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, air conditioning, leather-covered steering with steering wheel controls for the audio system and cruise control.
Remote door locks, electric operation for windows and door mirrors, daytime driving lights and a headlamp adjustment control are also standard. Automatic headlights activated by lighting intensity and “guide me home” headlights also aid convenience. The standard computer provides instrument read-outs for instant and average fuel consumption, fuel tank range, trip distance and outside air temperature.
A seven inch touchscreen for ApplePlay for maps, music podcasts, audio books and other compatible apps has special appeal for younger owners. Also provided is a USB port and SD card. There are no fewer than five cup holders and two centre pockets forward of the transmission control, plus handy door pockets.
GLX grade is priced at $21,990 plus on road costs and comes with 15-inch steel wheels fitted with 175/65SR tyres, while the same specification with automatic transmission is $23,990. LTD automatic ($24,990) has all the GLX equipment and adds 16-inch eight-spoked smoked aluminium alloy wheels shod with 185/55SR tyres, plus front fog lamps.
The Baleno is produced in India where Suzuki has had a long established reputation and a major presence for more than 30 years. Suzuki currently has 48 per cent of the growing Indian car market. In 2015, 1.2 million cars were manufactured in Suzuki’s main state of the art Indian plants, and the marque produced three million units, including 755,000 in Japan, 445,000 in East Asia and 194,000 in Europe.
“New Baleno sits between Swift and S-Cross and is a further example of our strength in the small and compact car market,” said Gary Collins. “With the introduction of Baleno we can confidently say we have all the bases covered in the small car market.”

Kamana'o is WAC player of week again
Hawaii volleyball coach Dave Shoji admitted after Sunday's win over San Jose State that senior setter Kanoe Kamana'o was under-appreciated.
"She does get overlooked for all that she does," he said.
Yesterday, the three-time All-American received some recognition from the Western Athletic Conference in terms of weekly honors. Kamana'o was named the WAC player of the week for the second time this season and the third in her career.
The Iolani School product averaged 16.25 assists and 3.75 digs as the Rainbow Wahine defeated Idaho and San Jose State. Her 130 assists gave her 5,869, five shy of replacing Colorado State's Analisa Taylor (5,873) as the WAC's all-time leader.
Kamana'o also had 30 digs in the two victories, moving her to 1,125 and into fifth all-time in the UH record books.
She also moved into a tie for eighth on the UH list for career blocks with 374.
Despite the two victories, Hawaii (17-5, 9-1 WAC) dropped a spot in yesterday's CSTV/AVCA Coaches Top 25 poll to 16th. Remaining at No. 1 was Nebraska (20-0), which received 59 of the 60 first-place votes.
Stanford (19-2), with one first-place vote, traded places with Penn State (22-1) for No. 2 after the Nittany Lions were swept by then-No. 14 Wisconsin.
Hawaii plays at Nevada on Thursday and Utah State on Saturday.
» Brigham Young-Hawaii kept its No. 9 ranking in the CSTV-AVCA Division II poll.
Shimomura, Matsuyoshi lead Hilo tourney
Hawaii-Hilo's Jayne Shimomura and Kiilani Matsuyoshi shot 2-over 74s yesterday and are tied for the individual lead in the Mauna Lani/Hawaii-Hilo Intercollegiate golf tournament at Waikoloa.
Both golfers are at 11-over 155 heading into the third and final round.
Sonoma State's Jarin Todd is the men's individual leader after a 7-under 65 yesterday. He's at 6-under 138 for the tournament.
The team leaders are Cal State Chico women (649) and the Cal State Stanislaus men (576) .
The Hawaii-Hilo women's team (651) is in second place. On the men's side, Hawaii-Hilo (588) is in fifth place, with Brigham Young-Hawaii (610) in 11th and Hawaii Pacific (626) in 13th.


Gather any group of teenagers together and you will get chatter, smiles and gossip. But as the projector clicks on in the meeting hall in Amman, Jordan, the assembled teens fall progressively silent. They are here to learn, and today's subject matter could not be more important.
Assembled today to take part in an awareness lecture on HIV, these teens are part of Caritas Jordan's ongoing HIV/AIDS Awareness Project, which is supported by Catholic Relief Services. Launched in 2007, the project seeks to fill a void Caritas saw in AIDS education across Jordan, where traditionally conservative attitudes make it difficult to openly discuss HIV and AIDS.
To help change that, Caritas Jordan set out to reach into Jordan's schools, parishes and communities to target students, youth groups and those served through Caritas programs with a message of AIDS awareness. Although HIV prevalence rates in Jordan are thought to be low, measured in hundreds of cases in a nation of 6 million people, many fear that ignorance about HIV could open the door for the virus to spread.
"This program is important to help people know what AIDS is," says Dr. Ammar Burgan, a general practitioner with Caritas Jordan. He speaks at awareness lectures to teach young people about HIV from a medical standpoint. "The most important slide in this lecture is the one on how to avoid getting HIV. If you can avoid getting it, we can stop the spread of the virus."
Through the lectures, Caritas teaches thousands of Jordan's young people about HIV, providing what, for many teens, is the first information they have received about the deadly virus. With staff members simply unable to meet the full demands of educating teens all over the country, a key component of the HIV program is a basic HIV awareness session for peer educators. They, in turn, carry the message back to their schools and serve as teachers to their peers.
"We learned the definition of AIDS and how it's transmitted from one to another," says 15-year-old Shareen Awad, who took part in the HIV training in early 2010. "We also learned how to protect ourselves."
A Skit Helps Spread the Message
Armed with that knowledge, Shareen and four of her classmates—also trained—designed a skit on HIV awareness, which they delivered to their class of 200 students at the Rosary School, a private Christian school outside of Amman. Most of her classmates, she says, knew little about HIV before she and her fellow peer educators began spreading the message.
"AIDS is an important disease that we should all know about," Shareen says. "Our classmates ask many questions. They know a little bit about it, but after the skit, they know more."
Some believe HIV cases are underreported in Jordan—that the number of people infected is more widespread than statistics show. Just 2 years out of medical school, Dr. Burgan lays some of the blame on the shoulders of his colleagues, many of whom have not had proper HIV training.
"Doctors even have the wrong information. We are trained in our careers to treat diabetes and cancers—we never discussed HIV," he says. "Caritas is really the first to discuss this."
Back in the Parish Club, a site used by Caritas volunteers to carry out local training and activities, after today's lecture ends, the assembled teens write down what they learned about HIV on large scrolls or paper located throughout the room. Moving quietly from one scroll to the next, Dr. Burgan is happy with what he sees and pleased to be providing real, science-based education on HIV to the young people of Jordan—a theme he comes back to as his mantra for combatting the spread of the virus here.
"The most important thing is knowledge about AIDS," Dr. Burgan says. "If you don't know about AIDS, you can't avoid AIDS."

New taster from Oceans forthcoming Thrill EP, released on the 30th October.
Way back in April, we released a new single from Oceans, the Noah Kin produced Sundown. Little did we know back then that Sundown would become the closing track to Oceans 2nd full EP, Thrill. Efe Tekkanat has been busy in the intervening few months. A smattering of live shows, Jyrock and a guest appearance opening for Satellite Stories at Helsinki’s most revered venue Tavastia. Efe’s been preparing for a move to the UK this Autumn, but in the meantime he’s been putting together his new EP.
Thrill EP shows a development in sound and ideas following on from the debut Oceans EP from late 2014. Oceans music is now direct and propulsive, R&B makes way for a more electro driven sound and a bigger role for guitars. The voice is gruffer and used more sparingly allowing for a more expansive musical vision. Efe comments on the new EP “I’m Telling You and Honest were the tracks to show the musical style of Oceans. In Thrill EP, that style is still proudly represented with echoing and addictive vocals, classy electronic hooks and booming bass. I think Give All is the perfect example of this new approach, with a melody that is kept simple and memorable.”

In this letter a series of stylized facts are presented on competition in Irish private sector lending markets across periods of both significant economic expansion and decline. Firstly, concentration of lending to the private sector is shown to have fallen during the boom period of 2004-2008, and to have steadily risen since the onset of the crisis. Secondly, we document that the lending market for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is significantly more concentrated than that for the private sector in total. Thirdly, we observe a degree of heterogeneity in the concentration of lending to different sectors of economic activity. Fourthly, concentration of new lending flows to SMEs in 2010 and 2011 is shown to be significantly higher than concentration of the stock of credit across all sectors, suggesting that the trend is towards even higher concentration in the SME market. Finally, it is apparent that the share of foreign banks in private sector credit stock reached its peak just as the crisis began, and has been falling since, indicating that in times of crisis foreign market participants react by more aggressively reducing exposure than domestic banks. The likely effect on Irish firms’ access to finance is discussed by placing these findings in the context of the literature on the link between banking competition and credit conditions. Our results suggest that firms, and particularly SMEs, will experience increasingly difficult credit conditions as a result of increased concentration in the lending market. In this light, policy measures aimed at alleviating credit constraints are of particular importance.

The annual culling of Louisiana's unusually large number of state boards and commissions began Wednesday with committee passage of a bill that would eliminate the Louisiana Music Commission along with lesser known panels such as the Silver Alert Steering Committee and the Louisiana Advisory Committee on Midwifery.
House Bill 1226 by Rep. M.J. "Mert" Smiley, R-St. Amant, is mainly a compilation of commissions that have stopped meeting or have been unresponsive to routine inquiries from the legislative auditor.
This year, the hit list includes the Aquaculture Coordinating Council, the Financial Literacy and Education Commission and the Atchafalaya Basin Advisory Committee along with the Louisiana Geography Education Initiative Program Council and the Advisory Panel on the Louisiana Teachers' Homebuyer Program.
Also on the cut list is the Compensation Review Commission, which was created to make recommendations for salaries and other compensation for legislators and statewide elected officials. It was supposed to provide an objective and well-researched viewpoint on fair compensation so that lawmakers would have at least a partial shield from criticism for raising their pay. Some of its recommendations were used in figuring draft versions of the legislator pay raise bill in 2008, which sparked a public uprising and ultimately was vetoed by Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Smiley's bill originally cut the Advisory Committee on Polysomnography, which deals with sleep diagnostics. An amendment in committee spared that one, as well as the Uniform Electronic Local Return and Remittance Advisory Board.
The music commission, created more than 30 years ago, once had an independent director with a budget and a board led by New Orleans jazz legend Ellis Marsalis. It was temporarily disbanded and reformed a few years ago and now is housed under the state Department of Economic Development.
Commission Chairman Maggie Warwick said the music board provided useful guidance to the department but that she supports its elimination. Board members and music professionals are forming a nonprofit group called the Louisiana Music Industry Council to continue the efforts of promoting the music business in the state. They also are promoting the idea of a Louisiana Songwriters Hall of Fame and annual awards. These organizations will provide opportunity for the involvement of more professionals than the music commission, which is limited to 15 members.
Sherri McConnell, head of entertainment industry development for the state department, said the music commission gets no state money. A department staff member who serves as the commission executive director, among other duties, will continue to promote music industry development, she said. The department's music, film and digital products development sectors are part of an integrated effort to promote entertainment business in Louisiana, and so a separate music board is no longer needed, she said.
Smiley's bill now goes to the House floor for further consideration. Other boards scheduled for elimination under his bill include the State Building Authority, the State Bond and Building Commission, the Capital Construction and Improvement Commission, the Louisiana School Asbestos Abatement Commission, the rural Health Care Authority, the Nursing Home Quality and Efficiency Board, the Commission on Law Enforcement Services, the Interpreter Certification Board, the Louisiana Infrastructure Bank, the Women's Health Commission and the Ambulance Standards Committee.
The bill would wipe out a defunct board called the Regional Transit Authority, which is not the same as the New Orleans authority by that name.
The Silver Alert Steering Committee was created to study the idea of public alerts for missing elderly.

AFCP is developing fuel cell generators for off-grid and back-up power markets, commencing with a 4kW generator, followed by a 10kW generator. The fuel cells are expected to be integrated into larger configurations of 10 kW fuel cell stacks, which range in generator size from 10kW up to 100kW. The Company is developing two prototype units for each configuration (4kW genset and 10kW genset), which are expected to be built by 2024 and 2025, respectively. All prototypes will have a complete CE-certification already, which will allow the Company to enter the market rapidly after the successful pilot implementation.
- Additional revenue opportunities targeting the off-grid and back-up generator markets
- Alkaline fuel cell technology with zero CO2 emissions
- Price leading fuel cell manufacturing technology allows for high volume production
- Designed to fill the increasing consumer demand trend for clean energy
- Operable with less pure “industrial” hydrogen that may contain up to 10 parts per million of carbon monoxide
- Supplementing the ongoing development of our 4 kW Micro CHP fuel cell by developing a range of fuel cells that target more immediate revenue opportunities within the off-grid and back-up generator markets.
- In 2021, the global portable generator market had a value estimated at US$4.6 billion with that figure expected to grow to US$6.7 billion by 2027.
- AFCP is developing fuel cells of varying power output capacities to satisfy these off-grid and back-up generator markets.
- Global players currently operating within the above segments provide diesel generators which feature a significant carbon footprint compared to the zero-emission alternative offered by AFCP’s fuel cells.

Gladbach are struggling towards the foot of the table, and their hopes of moving into mid-table were undone by a first-half blitz from Turpijn revealed as much in his own account of the deal. He demanded they match Turpijn's salary at Ajax. Maybe then it will be worth something for us. I will not be surprised if a lot of the technical errors are due to a lack of confidence.

The popularity of sports betting is growing, as more states legalize it and players become more sophisticated. Many people are also finding it easier to find reputable sports betting sites. But the game is not for everyone. It takes a lot of work and discipline to make money from sports betting. You must have a sound strategy and stick to it. It is best if you focus on a single sport competition and learn its rules and strategies. You should also concentrate on your bankroll and not exceed it. The biggest mistake is to bet more than you can afford to lose.
If you’re planning on making a sports wager, it’s important to know the different types of bets. The most common type of wager is a straight bet, where you place a bet on one team to win the game. The odds on a straight bet are based on the likelihood that the team will win, and the total points scored in the game. They’re typically posted in increments of half a point (like Packers -4) or more, but some books offer odds in whole-point increments as well.
Another type of sports wager is a spread bet, which is a number that handicaps one team and favors another when two teams are playing against each other. The goal is to win more bets than you lose by taking the underdog or giving the favorite. The point spread is often shown as a plus or minus sign, but our brains are trained to think of “plus” as positive and “minus” as negative. In the case of a spread bet, it’s actually the opposite.
While the math behind gambling is simple, it can be difficult to understand how the various bet types work. To help, we’ve compiled a guide on the most popular bet types and their odds. A straight bet is a bet on the winner of a game, and is available at most sportsbooks. The odds on a straight bet vary depending on the sportsbook, but they’re generally very low.
In addition to a basic straight bet, some online sportsbooks allow bettors to place accumulator bets on multiple selections. These bets are called accums or parleys and can result in larger profits if all of the bets are correct. These bets are often placed on games with high margins, like football and basketball.
Despite the fact that sports betting is very popular, it’s not easy to make a profit from it on a consistent basis. Most bettors will experience losses at some point, and some of these will be from bad luck or ill-advised risks. However, if you can avoid these mistakes, you’ll be on your way to becoming a successful sports bettor. It’s important to remember that winning and losing are both parts of the game, so it’s essential to stay emotionally detached from your bets. Otherwise, you might get caught up in a cycle of impulsive dumb bets that end up blowing your entire bankroll.

SELBYVILLE, Del. -- Authorities say a 4-year-old girl in Delaware passed out packets of heroin she found in her mother's backpack to her day care mates, thinking they contained candy.
Delaware State Police say the girl found the bags Monday in a backpack her mom gave her to use after hers was ruined by a family pet. The pack contained 249 bags of heroin weighing 3.7 grams.
Day care providers at the Hickory Tree Child Care Center in Selbyville called police when they noticed some children with the bags. None had been opened, reports CBS Philly.
Several children who came in contact with the bags were taken to area hospitals as a precautionary measure and were released after being examined, the station says.
The girl's mother, Ashley Tull, 30, of Selbyville, faces charges of maintaining a drug property and endangering the welfare of a child. A woman who answered a telephone number listed to Tull said she wasn't in and hung up.
A no contact order was also issued covering Tull's three children, who are being cared for by a relative, police say.

As the list of advantages goes on as well as on this shortened list must at the very least provide you with plenty of idea of how balanced those omega three supplements are on your overall health. Nevertheless, understanding what a fish product is able to do for yourself and knowing what you should search for in fish oil isn’t the very same thing. Here’s how you can grab those oils and all those omega three fatty acids.
Eating Fish Vs. Taking Supplements
The health benefits you get from fish oils are connected to the omega three fatty acids. These omega 3’s are vital to health that is great and keeping your entire body executing as it should. Nevertheless, the omega three that are very needed for health that is optimal are only present in some types of seafood together with the largest quantities in oily fish like tuna, sardines, Hoki, mackerel, salmon, along with other such fish. Unfortunately, customers do not consume so much of this particular fish type as they have to obtain those omega three fatty acids since several of these fish have very high levels of quite heavy metals, harmful toxins along with other pollutants as a result of the pollution of our oceans. This can make, eating these fish unsafe for your all-around health.
For that reason, medical experts are hinting that rather than risk consuming the contaminated skin of these fish, individuals get their omega three essential fatty acids through fish supplements. Nevertheless, you have to choose a health supplement which has oils that are very good. Here’s how you can find such supplements.
Search for supplements which say the species of fish the health supplement is created from. Be sure the motor oil is created from all those species of fish recognized to have amounts of fatty acid.
Search for all those oils from fish which are found in waters with the very least pollution. Choosing a health supplement which will get their oil from fish found in the Southern Ocean off the coastline of New Zealand makes sure that the fish are practically totally free of dangerous pollutants.
Make sure the engine oil rendered from the fish have been purified and the organization is prepared to teach you the outcomes of the lab screening from their present batch of oil. These lab results are going to allow you to make certain that the supplement you’re taking is safe and highly effective.
Stay away from those oils with artificial additives or maybe coloring and those that use fillers. Fillers decrease the quantity of omega three fatty acids you’ll receive per dose. You can read more extensive articles around the web, and a guide to fish oil by Digital Health Post.
Selecting a great fish supplement made with fish oils that are good are able to enable you to live and feel better than you might have thought possible.

Abu Walid al-Masri, living under house arrest in Iran for some years, is an active blogger, release comments on Muslim affairs and the war in Afghanistan on a regular basis on his Arabi-language website. Once they said he was in a luxury house, a mansion, now we discover it was very humble. We will be true to the values that make us who we are. It is very important to have independent verification of the American story.
Most of his men were in Pakistani cities not in the tribal areas. We have al-Qaida in Somalia, al-Qaida in Afghanistan still, we have al-Qaida in Pakistan — we have different al-Qaidas with different leadership. This news is not very surprising as Hamza, who was born 1989 in Jeddah Saudi-Arabia , was expected to be with his father. As children of Osama Bin Laden, his sons now feel the responsibility and right to demand full investigation into the death of their father. The second wish, to go to paradise, I think that is up to God. The Americans were not straight forward to tell us what happened.
Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world. It is un-islamic and un-human to throw his body in the sea to the sharks. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.
The conspiracy theories will be very thrive. Obama tritt ans Rednerpult und beginnt die neun Minuten lange Rede. The Taliban propaganda tape releases six years ago, shows Hamza Bin Laden carrying a gun.
Es ist sehr unüblich — gerade in Amerika — den Vorgänger von der anderen politischen Richtung überhaupt nur zu erwähnen. Eine Zeit, bei dem es jedem bewusst ist, wenn der Präsident der Vereinigen Staaten jetzt auftritt, ist etwas Bedeutendes passiert. Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. Meanwhile Omar Bin Laden is married to a British woman in his second marriage and is seeking to obtain a permission to move to a European country or the United States.
As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not — - and never will be - — at war with Islam. What made me believe that was the fact that most of his men were arrested in Pakistani cities: Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.
One of the sons, 24 year-old Ali, was sentenced to 18 years in prison by a Saudi court in 2008 for illegal possession of a gun. Does the killing of Osama Bin Laden make a difference to al-Qaida? For the Americans to come and to kill an important man like this and go away and take his body and the body of his son without the Pakistani government to know about this — this is ridicules.
Wow, über Obamas Rhetorik wollte ich schon immer mehr erfahren. Do you think Bin Laden was more a Prophet-figure to us than he was to his followers? In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support. On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family. For years there have been rumors Bin Ladens Yemeni wife had turned her back on the Al-Qaida founder and returned to her homeland of Yemen.
It is a Saudi fabrication. If there is one, we will see it soon. Abu Walid al-Masri, living under house arrest in Iran for some years, is an active blogger, release comments on Muslim affairs and the war in Afghanistan on a regular basis on his Arabi-language website. Discuss this issue with other readers!
A blog operated by one a former Jihadi colleague of Osama Bin Ladens, released a document yesterday allegedly written by the sons of the al-Qaida founder. Seine Mimik ist ernst und unbeweglich. What is your greatest wish in life?
I remember when I interviewed him in November 1996 I asked him: Denn er will ganz gezielt vermeiden, dass Emotionen erkennbar oder interpretierbar wären. F or the first time since US Special Forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden nearly one week ago, relatives of the most-wanted terrorist have issued a statement on his death. There are contradictory reports on who was inside the compound at the time of the raid and who was killed, injured or survived the US attack. Für Barrack Obama war es keine leichte Aufgabe. At one point the Egyptian terrorist leader says:

Renew Youth was recently featured in an article posted on the Blogwebpedia website titled “Do Anti-Aging Creams Really Work? Renew Youth Answers.” The article was written by Stephen Callahan who reveals how hormones can lead to aging skin and how to protect the appearance of youth with Renew Youth’s Topical Estrogen Cream.
The article reveals that many women are struggling with their skin because they feel that it makes them look older than they are. With the plethora of products available, it can be difficult to determine if anti-aging creams work or if they are simply an expensive product. Renew Youth reveals that a huge contributor to aging skin is the hormones at work in the body. If the root cause of aging skin is hormones, it can be beneficial to work with certain products that contain beneficial ingredients.
Renew Youth is an expert in helping women in menopause find solutions for the variety of problems that occur when the body goes through menopause. They provide reliable information about aging as well as effective products that can help reduce the appearance of aging. Youthful skin begins with three main elements including collagen, elastin, and moisture. Moisture is created from the oils naturally found on the skin and a variety of compounds like hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin stay hydrated by plumping up the skin cells. Collagen, however, is a protein that keeps the structure of tissues strong, The protein helps keep the skin cells strong, creating a firm and tight look. Elastin is another protein found in skin cells that provides skin with resiliency to help it return to its original shape after being pressed or pulled.
There are a number of different things that can affect the three components of healthy skin. Environment, poor diet, and hormones can all have an effect on the skin and can cause the skin show signs of aging like discoloration or age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, the urgency of embracing sustainability has never been more apparent. People across the globe are conscientiously working towards reducing their carbon footprint and conserving energy, recognizing the pivotal role these actions play in safeguarding our planet. Amidst this eco-conscious mindset, an innovative solution that harmoniously aligns with the principles of sustainability emerges: automotive window tinting. Beyond its aesthetic allure, automotive window tinting holds the potential to revolutionize our approach to eco-friendly living by promoting sustainability in multifaceted ways.
At the forefront of its environmental benefits, automotive window tinting effectively addresses the issue of excessive heat and contributes to energy efficiency. Renowned for its remarkable capacity to regulate interior temperatures, window tinting acts as a shield against solar heat, thereby diminishing the need for relentless air conditioning usage, especially during sweltering summer spells. This translates into reduced energy consumption and eases the strain on a vehicle’s cooling system. Consequently, the conservation of fuel is evident, culminating in decreased greenhouse gas emissions and a substantially diminished carbon footprint.
The ecological advantages of automotive window tinting extend beyond temperature control, encompassing the crucial sphere of UV radiation protection. The detriments of ultraviolet (UV) radiation are well-documented, with detrimental impacts on both human health and the environment. These rays accelerate the fading and deterioration of car interiors, causing irreversible damage to materials such as upholstery and dashboard components. Opting for automotive window tinting not only safeguards occupants from harmful UV exposure but also protracts the longevity of a vehicle’s interior elements. This extension in lifespan subsequently diminishes the demand for manufacturing replacements, conserving invaluable resources and the energy conventionally expended during production processes.
The seamless integration of comfort and sustainability surfaces through the realm of enhanced fuel efficiency, a surprising yet logical outcome of automotive window tinting. The provision of a cooler and more comfortable interior milieu discourages excessive reliance on air conditioning systems, thereby fostering improved fuel efficiency. The ripple effect of each saved gallon of gasoline reverberates in the form of reduced emissions released into the atmosphere, culminating in a considerably greener driving experience.
Beyond the confines of fuel efficiency, the preservation of a vehicle’s interior materials through window tinting culminates in extended longevity. The safeguarding of essential components such as seats and dashboards mitigates sun-induced wear and tear. By doing so, this proactive measure significantly curtails the frequency of replacements, inadvertently reducing waste accumulation and abiding by the tenets of sustainable living.
As proponents of sustainability, the reduced waste output associated with automotive window tinting stands as a testament to its ecological value. While the tinting itself isn’t an indelible feature, its role in prolonging the lifespan of interior components substantially curtails the necessity for frequent repairs or replacements. As a consequential outcome, the surplus waste destined for landfills experiences a marked reduction, thereby cultivating a more efficient and sustainable waste management ecosystem.
In summation, the merits of automotive window tinting transcend mere aesthetic enhancements, revealing a profound avenue through which to embrace eco-consciousness. This innovative practice facilitates a transition towards environmental sustainability, demonstrated through the manifold benefits it affords. From its pivotal role in curtailing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to the preservation of interior materials and reduction of waste, automotive window tinting epitomizes a holistic approach to eco-friendly living. It is imperative to recognize that a decision to enhance a vehicle’s aesthetics is, in essence, a commitment to driving not only in style but also towards a greener and more sustainable future.

- The City of Pittsburgh partners with Spin and three mobility service providers to pilot a program aimed at serving low-income residents by providing free transportation.
- The project is intended to help improve eligible residents’ access to jobs, education, and basic services and ultimately elevate their socio-economic status.
- Carnegie Mellon University will be conducting research and evaluating the project, tracking the economic, health, and social outcomes of 100 participants.
SAN FRANCISCO, 17 August (00:01 PT) - The City of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and Spin, a leading micromobility service provider, are launching today a first-of-its-kind study that will give up to 50 low-income residents in Pittsburgh free access to shared mobility and public transit services to study its effects on participants’ socioeconomic progress. Providing affordable and reliable transportation to all, otherwise known as universal or guaranteed basic mobility is considered one of the main factors that can enable upward socioeconomic mobility. The year-long research will study the potential of free transportation to improve people’s economic, health, and social outcomes when financial barriers to transportation are removed, with a goal of improving access to jobs, education, healthcare, social services, and recreational activities.
Pioneering research like this is critical to shape local and national policies that ultimately improve people’s lives. The trial will focus on residents of the Manchester and Chateau neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, with recruiting and ongoing support provided by the Manchester Citizens Corporation. Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) will evaluate the trial. Eligible participants will receive free access to the Move PGH transportation services including public transit, Spin scooters, POGOH bikes, and Zipcar. The pilot is funded by a $200,000 grant awarded from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, with Spin contributing an additional $50,000.
“Having access to affordable and reliable transportation is critical in helping families across our city find a pathway to prosperity,” said Pittsburgh Mayor, Ed Gainey. “This pilot program will help us more fully understand just how much of an impact transportation has on the lives and wellbeing of people in Pittsburgh.”
In total, 100 people will take part in the pilot and will be randomly allocated to two groups: 50 of them will receive free access to Move PGH transportation services, and 50 of them will not*, to allow for comparison. Analysis will include survey and travel behavior data collected from participants and the transportation service providers, along with anonymized details on participants’ income and use of various forms of public assistance from the Allegheny County Department of Human Services. The research is expected to conclude next summer.
"Making mobility more equitable and reliable is central to Spin's mission and we see great potential for positive impact in the Pittsburgh community, and beyond” said Philip Reinckens, CEO at Spin. “By piloting a wide variety of free transit and mobility options, cities and service providers like Spin are looking to support data-driven policy making that will ultimately improve people’s lives.”
The Manchester neighborhood was specifically chosen for the program as the median income is this area is 14% below median income in the City of Pittsburgh**. The economic opportunity of the Central Business District, where there is a higher number of jobs and services is just out of reach for people living in the Manchester neighborhood because of high transportation pricing and limited transit options. However, with better access to employment, education and various services comes the potential to improve participants’ quality of life and access to opportunities.
"Affordable transportation is a huge issue in Manchester and many of our neighbors, unfortunately, don’t have many opportunities within their own neighborhood and need to go elsewhere,” said LaShawn Burton Faulk, Executive Director of the Manchester Citizens Corporation.”We are excited to be home to this UBM pilot and see how it might improve the quality of life of our most vulnerable Manchestrians."
*Those in the control group will receive financial compensation for taking part in the research.
** As noted in the Manchester Neighborhood Plan

Washington D.C. – -(Ammoland.com)-The Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies learned yesterday of the Trump Administration’s proposal to merge administrative responsibilities of other Agencies into the Department of Interior (DOI) in an effort to improve the efficiency of the regulatory process.
Included in this proposal, the Department of Commerce’s National Marine Fisheries Service would return to DOI and merge with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The purpose of this reorganization is to consolidate the administration of the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act into one Agency within DOI.
This merger would also look to combine the two Agencies’ science and management capacity, with the intent of creating a more consistent Federal fisheries and wildlife policy and improved service to the public, particularly on infrastructure permitting.
“We are looking forward to working with the Administration in conducting efficient and effective conservation in the states,” stated Virgil Moore, President of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and Director of Idaho Fish and Game. “We trust our federal partners will reach out to state fish and wildlife agencies as true partners in managing fish and wildlife on the American landscape.”
This proposal comes in response to President Trump’s March 13, 2017 Executive Order to reorganize the executive branch.
The Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies represents North America’s fish and wildlife agencies to advance sound, science-based management and conservation of fish and wildlife and their habitats in the public interest. The Association represents its state agency members on Capitol Hill and before the Administration to advance favorable fish and wildlife conservation policy and funding and works to ensure that all entities work collaboratively on the most important issues. The Association also provides member agencies with coordination services on cross-cutting as well as species-based programs that range from birds, fish habitat and energy development to climate change, wildlife action plans, conservation education, leadership training and international relations. Working together, the Association’s member agencies are ensuring that North American fish and wildlife management has a clear and collective voice.
