The chickens have landed at the Brockville and Area Food Bank.
The Chicken Farmers of Ontario made their latest chicken run to Brockville on Friday, delivering 720 kilos of fresh locally grown birds as part of a provincewide mission to support food banks.
Friday’s delivery was the third of the year to the local food bank by the chicken farmers who began their program to support the hungry four years ago.
Since 2015, the farmers have donated enough chicken to make four million meals for the Ontario food bank clients, according to Tim Klompmaker, an Eastern Ontario chicken farmer and director of the organization.
He said Ontario’s chicken farmers are doing their part to tackle hunger.
Patricia Shanahan of the farmers’ organization said her group encourages Ontario chicken farmers to donate 300 chickens a year toward the program, which is organized in partnership with Feed Ontario, formerly called the Ontario Association of Food Banks.
So far, about 500 of the province’s 1,200 chicken farmers have joined the program and their numbers are growing annually, Shanahan said.
The farmers get a tax credit for their donations.
JoAnne Sytsma, depot manager of the food bank, welcomed Friday’s donation and thanked the farmers for their continuing support.
She said the chicken is a popular item at the food bank and she expected it to be gone in a couple of weeks once the word gets out about the fresh shipment.
Food bank volunteers on Friday were packaging the meat into freezer bags and freezing them for clients.
Local MPP Steve Clark and Mayor Jason Baker were at the food bank for the shipment and they lauded the local volunteers and the farmers for their dedication.
“It’s another example of how farmers and our agricultural sector are so generous in giving back to their communities to help those in need, particularly as we enter the holiday season,” Clark said.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- September marks Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and as a result, women throughout the United States have a valuable addition to the infamous honey-do list. As the second leading cause of death in U.S. men, prostate cancer will affect close to 218,000 this year, many with almost no symptoms. Sadly, 32,000 of those men will succumb to the disease. What Dr. David Samadi, Vice Chairman, Department of Urology, and Chief of Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, wants men and women to be most aware of this month is that "the silent killer" doesn't have to kill. Understanding prostate cancer and respecting its unfortunate, but significant, roll in our lives is key. Dr. Samadi is a prostate cancer treatment and robotic surgery expert that has completed over 3,500 successful robotic prostatectomy procedures in his New York Urology practice.
Dr. Samadi knows that his greatest allies in fighting prostate cancer are women. "They're the ones that care the most. Women read more, they talk more and, honestly, they push more. And it all comes from a place of caring." And Dr. Samadi is grateful for this. "Women have the power to educate their husbands, boyfriends and fathers and make them act." This month, Dr. Samadi is giving women some more ammunition in the fight to keep their men healthy. "The List" outlines four simple reminders about prostate cancer: Learn your prostate cancer risk, Improve your lifestyle, Screen annually and Treat aggressively, if necessary.
LEARN Your Risk:
"In most cases, it's very easy to know whether or not a man is at an increased risk for prostate cancer," explains Dr. Samadi.
Genetics – men with a father or brother with prostate cancer are 2x as likely to develop the disease; having 3 or more relatives with prostate cancer makes a diagnosis almost certain
Race – African American men have a 60% increased risk of prostate cancer over Caucasian men
Age – more than 65% of prostate cancers occur in men over 65
Weight – obese men, those with a BMI over 30, are 33% more likely to die from a prostate cancer disease
IMPROVE Your Lifestyle:
"Healthy doesn't have to be hard. Making changes now is much easier than the changes you could face with prostate cancer," stresses Dr. Samadi.
Eat Right – It's no secret that what you eat impacts your health; and while diet can't necessarily prevent prostate cancer, eating right can improve your overall health. Further, some studies show that nutrients such as lycopene, found in tomatoes, and sulforaphane, in foods such as broccoli, can have cancer-fighting properties. Even red wine contains antioxidants.
Move It – Exercise goes a long way in improving a body's strength and wellness, and is certainly part of maintaining a healthy weight. A healthy sex life may help, too, as some research indicates a reduction in prostate cancer risk with increased ejaculations.
"Men have a huge reluctance to see a doctor about anything. Annual physicals are an inconvenience to them. Why go to the doctor when I feel perfectly fine? But waiting for symptoms doesn't work with prostate cancer," Dr. Samadi warns.
PSA Test – Performed by your primary physician at your annual physical, this simple blood test measures levels of the Prostate-Specific Antigen. Annual PSA testing should begin at age 50, though men with increased risk should begin at age 40. Some physicians recommend the test even earlier as a baseline.
DRE – During the Digital Rectal Exam a physician does a finger check for bumps or abnormalities on the surface of the prostate. Though the least appealing of the tests, it's quick and painless and should be performed annually with the PSA screening.
Symptoms – Though not clear indicators, there are some potential signs of prostate cancer. Frequency or difficulty urinating, weak or interrupted urine flow, pain associated with urination or ejaculation, erection difficulty and blood in urine or semen are issues that should be mentioned to your physician. Don't dismiss them as minor or too embarrassing to discuss.
With a prostate cancer diagnosis comes important treatment decisions. "Do your homework," urges Dr. Samadi, "and if it's appropriate to your diagnosis, strongly consider robotic prostatectomy surgery."
Watchful Waiting – For those who choose to postpone radiation or surgery, surveillance of the cancer is an option. "This can be risky business," Dr. Samadi cautions. "Prostate cancer has a way of sneaking up on us and accelerating faster than we know. This option should be chosen after careful consideration of all treatment choices." For men of a more advanced age or reduced physical capacity, waiting may better serve their health than aggressive treatment.
Open or Laparoscopic Prostatectomy – Historically, radical prostatectomy surgery was performed via open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Both options effectively remove the cancer; however, open surgery is associated with a longer and more painful recovery. Laparoscopy offers improvements in this area, but can be limiting to a surgeon's ability to perform optimally.
Robotic Prostatectomy – More recently, robotic prostatectomy using the da Vinci Surgical System allows surgeons to pair their open and laparoscopic expertise with enhanced technology. Precise movements and enhanced visualization make this option a superior way to remove the prostate while sparing the nerve bundles that control urinary and sexual function. "Recovery is faster and men get their lives back on track much more quickly with robotic surgery," says Dr. Samadi. With more than 3,500 successful robotic prostatectomy surgeries to his credit, Dr. Samadi urges prostate cancer patients to choose a well-experienced surgeon for this procedure.
Radiation or Chemotherapy – External or internal "seed" radiation and chemotherapy are chemical options for killing cancer cells. In certain instances, these options may be ideal; however, it is Dr. Samadi's belief that removal of the prostate is the best way to eliminate risk of the cancer returning. "It's about peace of mind. Treat the diagnosis aggressively without allowing it to consume your life. Side effects are present with each option, but robotic surgery can really help mitigate the risks." Dr. Samadi also cautions that in most cases, prostatectomy surgery cannot be performed after radiation. "If the radiation fails or the cancer returns in a few years, prostatectomy may not be an option."
Prostate cancer will be the hot topic this month. Dr. Samadi urges women to seize the opportunity to do what they do best – read, talk, push. Get men to the doctor. To men he says, "Listen to the women in your life. They depend on you and they care about you. These really are simple steps. And what's one more list? Make her happy; check off The List."
More can be seen from prostate cancer expert, Dr. David Samadi, who is also part of the Fox News Medical A-Team.

It would be an understatement to say that typhoons aren’t typically associated with something positive. In the natural world, they cause mass destruction, wiping out entire communities and leaving many bodies in their wake. But a Japanese engineer has constructed a wind turbine capable of harnessing the immense power of these storms in order to turn it into useful energy. If his project is successful, a single typhoon would have the ability to power Japan for 50 years.
“Typhoons are normally nothing but a disaster,” noted Atsushi Shimizu, the inventor of the world’s first typhoon turbine. Japan is no stranger to the destruction of typhoons. In fact, the country has already seen six typhoons in 2016 alone.
Shimizu’s highly durable eggbeater-shaped device was constructed to counteract Japan’s energy shortage, which has been an issue since the Fukushima disaster back in 2011. “Japan actually has a lot more wind power than it does solar power, it’s just not utilized,” Shimizu said.
Shimizu, the founder of green tech firm Challenergy, says Japan could be “a superpower of wind.”
Above he is showing off a model of his typhoon turbine. (Image: Challenergy)
“For decades, Japan has brought in European-style wind turbines, not designed for typhoon zones, and installed them with no careful consideration — they’ve broken almost entirely,” explains Shimizu. Back in 2013, during Typhoon Usagi, eight turbines collapsed at China’s Honghaiwan wind farm, in eastern Guangdong, while an additional eight were reportedly damaged. Such unsuccessful efforts have led the Japanese government to focus on solar power, with many urban homes now incorporating solar panels. But Shimizu believes in the potential of Japan’s untapped wind power.
Shimizu’s typhoon turbine is unlike conventional turbines in that it works on an omnidirectional axis to allow for the machine to withstand unpredictable wind patterns. The speed of the blades can be adjusted to prevent them from spinning out of control when a storm hits. Called the Magnus effect — the sideways force that makes a spinning object stray from a straight path — it offers an astonishing amount of control over the turbine’s blades. Engineers can adjust the speed of the blades by simply tightening the centre rod.
A prototype, which has been tested, showed 30% efficiency — 10% lower than propeller-based turbines. However, the big difference to make note of is that Shimizu’s turbines are capable of surviving an actual storm.
In 2013, Shimizu quit his job and founded Challenergy, after which he won funding to invent his wind turbine. Earlier this summer, the functional prototype was installed near Okinawa. Now, the device must be tested under high-wind conditions to see if it holds up to Shimizu’s expectations.
It’s not completely known where all the incoming energy will be directed, however. Will it go right back to the grid? Or will it be stored in large batteries? Nevertheless, while questions remain and outcomes have yet to be seen, the idea is nothing short of groundbreaking.

When it comes to eating disordered behavior, many people do not think “exercise.” However, this typically healthy activity, used to excess, or used for unhealthy reasons, can become a large part of someone’s eating disorder. In fact, the terms “exercise-abuse”, “over-exercising”, or “purging” are often used to describe this pattern.
When exercise is used excessively, the primary purpose is often to burn calories. People with eating disorders become intensely afraid of gaining weight, and will exercise in equivalent amounts to the calories they want to burn. While this unhealthy habit may support their eating disordered thinking, it takes a tremendous toll on a person’s body.
People often get addicted to exercise because prolonged physical activity raises endorphins in the brain. These chemicals raise our moods, which in turn make us feel better about ourselves and overall happier. Both the physical and mental effects of exercise can be addictive. Many time eating disorder and exercise go hand in hand when someone in experiencing mental disorder. You may notice a combination of extreme workouts and symptoms of an eating disorder. Because exercise is good for you, it is hard for the person suffering from the illness to slow down. They are able to justify their actions better because they are doing a productive activity. Here at The Delray Center, we are able to address all facets of physical illness, including over exercising.
Many over-exercisers will report discomfort, pain, or even injury in their bodies as a result of their excessive activity, or will report feeling “nothing at all,” which results from a total mind-body disconnect. They will continue to exercise obsessively despite their body’s cues, and they will also spend countless hours feeling the need to exercise, which has them missing out on other important aspects of their lives.
Treatment for this aspect of an eating disorder involves hands-on teaching and monitoring of a person’s exercise routine. People need to be taught how to exercise appropriately, by listening to their body’s cues and finding enjoyment and fun in what they do again. If someone is at a particularly low weight, than no exercise is recommended until a safe and healthy weight can be restored.

In a ceremony last week attended by many of the volunteers he has worked with over the years in a variety of organizations, Greg Orcutt of West Tisbury received the “Spirit of the Vineyard” award.
“Greg embodies what it means to be civic-minded,” West Tisbury library director Beth Kramer said in remarks November 14 at The Grill on Main Street in Edgartown. “He is truly interested in and cares about what happens in our community.”
Ms. Kramer was speaking from experience. She has worked with Mr. Orcutt, treasurer of the West Tisbury Library Foundation which successfully raised funds for the library’s renovation project, just one of his many volunteer positions.
The award, sponsored by Hospice of Martha’s Vineyard, is given to recognize and honor members of the Vineyard community for the depth and breadth of their volunteer efforts on the Island. Mr. Orcutt, general manager of local radio station WMVY, was born and raised on the Island and now lives with his wife in West Tisbury.
“My old friend Kerry Alley, who is on the board of Hospice and a previous winner, told me about the award,” Mr. Orcutt said in a conversation with the Times. “I didn’t know I had been nominated. It must have been a slow year.”
Mr. Alley was Mr. Orcutt’s eighth-grade teacher at the old Edgartown Junior High School. They reconnected when Mr. Orcutt returned to work on the Island at WMVY radio 11 years ago.
“Greg was a dutiful student and is still doing some pretty good things,” Mr. Alley said.
The station sponsors the annual Big Chili Contest, a benefit for the Red Stocking Fund, of which Mr. Alley is co-chairman. Mr. Orcutt jumped in to help. It was just the beginning of his Island public service work.
“I have a lot of fun doing it,” Mr. Orcutt said. “It is a nice way to meet other people in the community, and living in a small community when you do something you can see an immediate effect.”
It wasn’t long before he began helping with the Chowder Contest, which in turn led to Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, the West Tisbury Library and other things.
“Volunteering is a wonderful thing,” he said. “It is something we need to do and should do. I think that this is what the award is about.”
Mr. Orcutt said that the award is all the more meaningful to him because of who is giving it. “Hospice must have the hardest job of all the volunteer organizations on the Island,” he said. “What they give back to people during the worst possible times of their lives is wonderful. What means the most to me is they are recognizing me and I think so much of them.”
In addition to Ms. Kramer, State representative Tim Madden, Mr. Alley, and HabitatMV president Doug Ruskin spoke at the event.
Mr. Ruskin said that while most of the volunteer time at Habitat goes into construction, “which is not Greg’s strong suite, what he does is in some ways even more important, the little-heralded background work that all nonprofits need to stay alive.”
Mr. Ruskin ended his remarks by noting Mr. Orcutt’s humility. “Greg’s just one of those guys who quietly makes a difference in the community and doesn’t think it’s a big deal. He told me he was embarrassed to be getting this award. Thank you, Greg.”

Tromsø, Norway—Biotec Pharmacon announced today that its subsidiary Biotec BetaGlucans has been awarded up to NOK 8 million in a grant by the Research Council of Norway for a project titled “Bioactive wound healing dressing with beta-glucan for treatment of hard-to-heal wounds.” The project is to be supported over 4 years, although the award is subject to successful contract negotiations between the parties.
“We are pleased to have been awarded this grant, which serves as a great testament to the hard work being done at Biotec BetaGlucans. It will help us develop a broader set of treatments for the many people suffering from different types of hard-to-heal wounds,” said Christian Jørgensen, CEO.
The grant has been awarded from the User-driven Research-based Innovation Program (BIA), and the focus of the project will be to develop novel bioactive gel-forming fibre dressings. These dressings will contain soluble beta-glucan (SBG) for the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds by re-activating the healing process.
The project aims to develop new and cost-effective wound healing devices for the treatment of large hard-to-heal wounds, exuding wounds (burns and ulcers), donor-site wounds and wounds on mucosal surfaces.
Biotec Pharmacon also announced in late January that its subsidiary, Biotec BetaGlucans, has finalized treatment in a UK Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study on its wound care gel, Woulgan, in diabetic foot ulcer patients.
According to Biotec’s website, “Woulgan Bioactive Beta-Glucan Gel is an active wound healing product containing soluble beta-glucan. The product provides an optimal moist wound-healing environment, re-hydrates necrotic tissue and aids in autolytic debridement. The active ingredient in Woulgan is soluble beta-glucan, a proprietary substance shown to promote angiogenesis, cell proliferation and wound contraction.”
Biotec BetaGlucans filed an application to the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in June 2018 to finalize the study. The application was accepted in November 2018, and all patients have now been treated.
“The acceptance from the MHRA and study completion is a positive step forwards for the Company,” noted Jørgensen. These results expected mid-year will provide further validation of our Woulgan gel product in wound care management.”
The study, initiated in 2015, was part of the MHRA’s requirements to assess the safety and usefulness of Woulgan before approval as a medical device in the management of wounds. The study aimed to recruit 60 patients for treatment with Woulgan gel and 20 with a commercial hydrogel from Smith & Nephew (Intrasite). The study was allowed to be finalized after having recruited just above 60 patients in total.
In parallel with this study, Biotec Pharmacon ran a large 300-patient clinical study in the UK (including diabetic patients), demonstrating the Woulgan gel’s excellent safety profile and its clinical efficacy and usability. This evidence, alongside case studies, has contributed to the MHRA’s favorable decision to allow the completion of the PMCF study.
The contract research organization handling the study is now collecting and evaluating the data from the four clinical investigation sites. The results are expected in late Q2 2019.

Limited right-of-way width along with required lane configuration and widths make designated accommodations for bicyclists a challenge along W 8th Street at present. If an access management strategy can be implemented to the point where the center turn lane is deemed unnecessary the street could be re-striped to include a 5-foot bike lane in each direction. In the interim, shared lane markings or “sharrows” could be considered. Speed limit, traffic volume, lane width and other physical characteristics are factors when considering shared use lanes. These should be considered during the implementation phase.
The north side of the street includes back-in angled on-street parking to serve local businesses. This type will maximize the number of spaces in order to help offset the loss of private parking that was encroaching the right-of-way near Colony Plaza. Although parallel parking was also considered it would result in significantly fewer parking spaces. Pull-in angled parking was also considered but because it requires drivers to back out into traffic when leaving it was not the preferred configuration.
Embrace Millcreek, the Township’s adopted comprehensive plan, clearly articulates the community’s vision for the West 8th Street corridor. This vision includes stakeholder consensus around creating a ‘Main Street’ feel that accommodates all modes of travel – driving, transit, biking, and walking. Placing parking to the side or rear of buildings rather than between the building and the street reduces conflicts between pedestrians and motorists. It also provides opportunities for landscaping as well as activities such as outdoor eating and sitting areas. Parking is important but it doesn’t need to be front and center.
The answer to this question goes hand-in-hand with the answer to why parking is shown behind or to the side of buildings. Requiring the parking to be placed to the side or to the rear of buildings requires moving the buildings closer to the sidewalk. This creates opportunities for safer pedestrian connections from the building entrances to the sidewalk along the street. It also provides better exposure for businesses and other building tenants. It places the focus on people and businesses rather than cars and parking.
No, the Presque Isle Gateway District Plan does not say anything about specific businesses unless a specific business is currently encroaching on the public right-of-way on W 8th Street.
Protected bike lanes require additional space to physically separate bikes from automobile traffic. In many cases, the existing right-of-way are not wide enough to accommodate required travels lanes, comfortable sidewalks, and separated bikes lanes. A multi-use trail was considered for Peninsula Drive and W 6th Street but is viewed as a long-term solution due to cost and other factors.
The Township has already applied for, and in some cases received, grant funding to implement portions of the plan. The benefit of plans such as this and Embrace Millcreek is that they demonstrate to funding agencies that requests for grants will go to implement a larger vision. Millcreek will continue to seek assistance from local, state, and federal funding agencies to leverage any investment it may make.
Roundabouts are often safer than traditional signalized intersections. The tight circle of a roundabout forces drivers to slow down, and the most severe types of intersection crashes - right-angle, left-turn, and head-on collisions - are unlikely. In addition, the center of the circle provides an opportunity for a gateway feature such as a sign or public art. Once accustomed to using a roundabout, many people prefer them because they keep traffic moving.
This plan does not propose any changes to Presque Isle State Park. The Park is owned by the Commonwealth and is under the jurisdictional control of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).
An Official Map is a land-use planning tool authorized by the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. It is a way for Millcreek to comprehensively examine the Township and identify properties that could be beneficial for future public use. The map is a means for the Township’s intentions to be clearly stated so that property owners are fully aware if there is a potential future interest in their parcel.
Municipalities can place on their Official Map any piece of land or facility that will provide a benefit to the public. The MPC specifically spells out the following as being for a public purpose or benefit: public streets, watercourses, parks, playgrounds, open space, pedestrian ways and easements, floodways, and floodplains.
Nothing. The land or facility designated on the Official Map is simply a way of providing the Township some time to enter into negotiations for the possible acquisition of a property prior to development and prior to such an opportunity to provide for a new road or public facility is lost. Under the Official Map, Millcreek has one year to acquire the necessary facility after receiving notice from the developer/owner of their intentions to develop. If the Township is not in any kind of position to acquire the property, it can waive its right to it at any time during that one-year period.
No. By designating the property on the Official Map, Millcreek is saying that in the future, that property would be a good location for some type of public use. The Official Map is a planning tool that allows the Supervisors to plan for public facilities in the future. Designation of lands or facilities on the Official Map does not mean the Township will definitely be purchasing the property. In the form of an Official Map, Millcreek is simply given a chance to put together a plan for acquiring the property, which it could very well decide not to do. The Township already has the ability to acquire property without an Official Map.
In Pennsylvania, a Township can acquire land for public purposes whether or not the municipality has an Official Map. The Official Map allows for Millcreek to designate public lands and facilities in a comprehensive fashion so that they are laid out in an efficient and logical manner. Typically, many properties designated on the Official Map are undeveloped or underdeveloped giving the Township a chance to acquire that property which will be less expensive and ideally in a logical place to meet the needs of the public.
No. The intent of the Official Map is not to take anyone’s home or create onerous regulations on their property. The Official Map is intended to provide a pause in the pace of development so that the Township may attempt to acquire land when property owners propose a new development. For this reason, the Official Map provides two extra provisions to homeowners: any expansion of a home no greater than 25% in area of the existing structure is exempted from the Official Map, and the Township only has 90 days to potentially acquire a portion of a property where there is an existing single-family home.
A “Taking” is a commonly used term for Eminent Domain. Government cannot take anybody’s land; however, all levels of government have the ability to acquire land from private individuals provided that through the proper processes established by law; the Township pays the property owner fair market value of the property; and the property is for a public use or benefit such as those facilities shown on the proposed Official Map. The process takes time, and the property owner has the ability to dispute any stated value of their property and have a separate assessment done on the property’s value. Then, a separate body (not the Township) will determine the appropriate market value.
The placement of property on the Official Map DOES NOT mean that Millcreek will be purchasing any property upon the adoption of the Official Map. The intent of the Official Map is to provide the Township with a limited amount of time to acquire a property, or portion thereof, for the purpose stated on the Official Map prior to the development or redevelopment of the property.
The Official Map is triggered only when a property owner provides notice that they will develop their property, which would be considered construction of a permanently affixed structure on the property. A modification to an existing home is exempt if the expansion is no greater than 25% of the area of the existing home.
The Township cannot prevent a reasonable return to the owner or make the property useless. Property owners have the ability to apply for a special encroachment permit, which would give them the ability to encroach into an area on their property designated on the Official Map including reduced setbacks from such area.

288. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the number of Garda cars and vans attached to each Garda district within Dublin as of 1 July 2020 and 1 July 2021, in tabular form. [38264/21]
Minister for Justice (Deputy Heather Humphreys): The Deputy will be aware that in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. The allocation of Garda resources is a matter for the Commissioner and his management team, in light of identified operational demands. This includes responsibility for the allocation of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no role in these matters. I am assured, however, that Garda management keeps the distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities, to ensure their optimum use.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the tables in the attachment to this answer set out the number of vehicles assigned to each district within the DMR at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021, the latest date for which figures are available. Please note that the category 'others' refers to MPV, SUV, Minibus or Prisoner Conveyance Vehicles.

Dark Wolf, CARPATHIANS Book #25
by Christine Feehan
Synopsis:In Dark Lycan, Christine Feehan journeyed into the heart of the Carpathians, and into the souls of two lifemates stirred by the flush of passion and the threat of annihilation. In Dark Wolf, the breathtaking story continues as the bonds of family are imperiled, and the fate of two lovers lies hidden in the seductive shadows between life and death.
Skyler Daratrazanoff always recognized the miracle that was Dimitri Tirunul, a man beyond any dream that had ever engaged her nights. But she was human. Vulnerable. He was Carpathian. Nearly immortal. She was nineteen. He was an ancient. Yet she held half his soul, the light to his darkness. Without her, he would not survive. Caught between the two warring species, Dimitri has spent centuries hunting the undead to keep his people free, and humans safe. He had survived honorably when others had chosen to give up their souls. But now, marked for extermination by the Lycans, Dimitri found himself alone, and fearing for his life. But salvation was coming…
No Lycan would ever suspect someone like Skyler to dare mount a secret rescue operation. A teenage girl. A human of untested abilities. But she had something no one else had. She was predestined for Dimitri—as he was for her. And there was nothing stronger for Skyler than her desire to see her life-dream come true. Whatever the risk.
Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION’s Devilish Diva – Shawnie:
*eARC received from the Publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
I am not honestly sure where to start with this review. I had high hopes for this book, since I have been a total fan of the series since I found it in 2009.
I guess since reading the way most of the books have been written, I though Feehan was going to go a different route with this book, sort a like the rest of them, but she surprised me - and not in a good way. While the book is good, it's not great. I wouldn't put it in my top anything and that sucks because I did like the book.
Skyler knew she was Dimitri's lifemate since she was sixteen. Back then she was a scared and still struggling with her nightmares, so she let her step parents, coddle her. But fast-forward some years and she has become a brilliant, beautiful, never take no for an answer nineteen year old semi woman. She's been in constant communication (mentally) with Dimitri since that fateful night, and he's been her rock, her anchor, her lifemate without the claim. But something is definitely wrong. Its been two weeks since Dimitri went missing and nobody will tell Skyler anything. You can imagine how she took that, right. Yeah, not well at all. With her best friends Paul and Josef, she sets out to find her missing mate, because all she knows is that he is missing and in some major sweet mother of all things crazy pain.
I honestly didn't know how to take it all in, because when the book first starts its all Skyler. Her thoughts, interaction with the boys and other people and how she was feeling. There is no background information, no real explanations of any kind. Feehan just throws us into the beginning of a rescue mission. Now the mission is actually believable, which helped because I would expect nothing less than a lifemate going after the other. What also made it believable was the fact that she had Josef and Paul with her. Sky's got powers no one is sure about and her connection to Dimitri is so powerful it spans great distances. Josef is a warrior and a genius, despite what the other Carpathian males think of him and Paul is brother-in-law too the most dangerous Carpathians ever born the De La Cruz brothers. Between the three of them they have it all figured out, and Dimitri has come to terms with the fact that his lifemate is putting herself in danger to save him, so he is helping also.
Its not an easy pill for the bad-ass warrior to swallow, knowing his mate is in danger and her can't do anything about it, except give her confidence and draw her silly. Because he is suffering, being slowly tortured by the ones he gas protected his entire long life and she refuses to leave him like that. It goes against everything he stands for to have Skyler in danger but there is no other way, no other choice because if she does go, he will die.
There was no relationship struggle or anything like that. It was disconcerting to say the least, because there is always relationship struggles in Feehan's books. I guess she figured they had enough time to get past that, and by having Skyler talk about the years since they found out they were fated that gave the reader more understanding. It still wasn't enough for me, but maybe I just like the struggle to get to the HEA.
There was a confrontation scene though, two actually, which gave us a better understanding of how well Dimitro and Skyler are suited for one another. It also gives us a look at Josef's feelings and beliefs as far as how his family sees him. But its also anti-climatic, in my opinion, not over too soon, but the focus is taken off of the confrontation due to other problems happening. (No spoilers).
All in all it was a good book, it did give you all the elements of a really great HEA, but it just didn't do it for me. Honest rating on the book from 4 1/2 skulls. Honest rating as far as my opinion 3 skulls.
Still read the book, because remember NO TWO READERS, READ THE SAME BOOK.


“Mama June” Shannon of WeTV’s From Not to Hot is celebrating 11 months of sobriety. She posted a series of three photos that documented her journey over the past several years. These spanned from the period before she was addicted to drugs through the darkest time in her life before taking charge of her decisions for the better in late 2019.
The television personality, who shot to fame as the matriarch of a clan of four daughters in the reality series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, had previously struggled with cocaine addiction. She was arrested in March of 2019 at an Alabama gas station alongside longtime boyfriend Geno Doak, as was reported by TMZ. June was subsequently charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. Geno was arrested on the same charges in addition to a charge of domestic violence/harassment.
June began her post with an expression of hope and joy during this celebratory season for her followers. She then shared that she was sober for almost one year and that she felt “really good.”
June posted several photos to document how far she had come in her recovery.
One was an image of where she wore makeup with her hair done at the beginning of her journey into drugs. In a second snap, she posted a scene still from her family’s TLC series where she said she looked “rough as hell” after being on cocaine for a few years. In the final snap, June looked better than ever in a dressy shirt, with her hair and nails done and her teeth fixed.
June said she was proud of herself and how far she had come in her sobriety. She said she knew a lot of people who had relapsed throughout the coronavirus pandemic and said that having a relapse was not an option for her.
She recently told one of her alumni directors at Banyan Treatment Centers that sometimes she felt “kind of greedy” because they have been so much more helpful to her in her recovery than they could imagine and she could never return all that kindness.
In conclusion, June told her fans that in one month, she would be able to follow her new dream of working in a rehab facility to help others.
Her fans applauded her for staying on the right path towards overall wellness.
“So proud of you… amazing how far you’ve come in almost a year,” wrote one follower.
“This is amazing, go June!” penned a second Instagram user.
“Atta girl! I just celebrated 4 yrs on Christmas Eve! Keep at it girl!! It only gets better,” claimed a third fan.


Dr Alex Awiti, Vice Provost of the Aga Khan University in Kenya, writes that currently, seven coronaviruses are known to cause mild to fatal illness in humans. Vaccines and therapeutics are not the solution. The solution lies in a One Health approach, which considers the critical interdependence among human, animal and environmental well-being. Studies have shown that humans and domestic animals are likely to interact with wildlife when more than a quarter of wild or natural habitat is lost. Such interactions exacerbate the risk of disease transmission.

We do a lot of work at the kitchen bench! Today the children wanted to construct three dimensional flying objects. I often forget about artistic construction for them, but they love it, and it's so easy to grab some boxes out of the recycling bin and give them some sticky tape. Evie usually wants to make the same as Finn with some slight variations, and that is fine. Finn has a really clear image of what he wants to create and I allow him access to the resources he needs.
I try not to interfere in what they are doing (unless they need help with the tape or scissors). I think it is important that they engage in the problem solving and creative process in their own way.


One of the original winners of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) wants back on the show ... this time as a coach.
Diego Sanchez, the network reality show's season one winner, has expressed interest in coaching the show and already has an opposing coach in mind.
"The Dream" (via Fight Hub TV) states that while he wants to challenge for the title one day, he wouldn't mind coaching on a future season while he's getting there:
"My thing right now is to coach that show, I know that a title shot for me is going to happen one day it will but I would love to coach that show right now. I would like it to be against BJ (Penn); he is back at welterweight, let's go do it and have a rematch, I think it would be great. I have a lot I can show these guys and Jesus Christ has blessed me with an ability that needs to be shared."
As is tradition on the show, the two opposing coaches fight each other at the end of the season. Penn and Sanchez have already faced off at UFC 107 back in December of 2009. Penn defeated Sanchez in the fifth and final round of their lightweight title fight via doctor stoppage due to a cut on Diego's forehead thanks to a well placed kick by "The Prodigy."
Sanchez will probably have to find another counterpart if he were to earn a slot as coach, as Penn recently announced he was taking time off to enjoy life after his loss to Nick Diaz at UFC 137 last weekend.
The athlete formerly known as, "The Nightmare" would join Rashad Evans, Forrest Griffin, Michael Bisping, Josh Koschek and Matt Serra as former participants on the show to return as coaches.
The Ultimate Fighter is in its last season on SPIKE and will now be carried on FOX in 2012. Anyone lucky enough to grab a spot as a coach will recieve some very good exposure to such a wide audience.
Would a season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) pitting "The Dream" and "The Prodigy" as opposing coaches be must see TV for you, or does Penn stand benefitting anything from a fight with Sanchez after already having soundly defeated him?


DJI Mini 3 Pro: Hands-on and unboxing videos emerge of Mini 2 successor with its RC remote controller
Barely a day has passed since DJI announced its next hardware event, accurately predicted by several leakers. However, @JasperEllens has received two hands-on videos providing a detailed look at the Mini 3 Pro and its RC remote controller. Initially, the leaker shared an unboxing video, embedded below. As far as we can tell, the retail box shown matches the first Mini 3 Pro leak, also published by @JasperEllens. Incidentally, the same video highlights the Mini 3 Pro's RC remote controller, which has C1 and C2 buttons on its rear.
Subsequently, @JasperEllens has leaked a short video in which the Mini 3 Pro and RC remote controller are powered on. Unmistakably DJI's upcoming products, rather than existing ones, it seems that both are box fresh and without all their packaging removed. While the RC remote controller has leaked before, the videos showcase its dual USB Type-C ports, memory card slot and its large display. Presumably, the display will match the one DJI includes in the RC Pro, which has a 5.5-inch panel. If that is the case, the Mini 3 Pro's RC controller should peak at 1,000 nits while outputting at 1080p.
For reference, the Mini 3 Pro is rumoured to cost €739 in Eurozone, but only with a battery. Alternatively, DJI is expected to offer the drone with the regular RC-N1 remote controller for €829 and a separate Fly More Kit for €189. Even though DJI has not confirmed that this will be the case, Argos UK published its Fly More Kit product listing last week, outlining all its components. Finally, the package pictured in these hands-on videos will retail for €999, which includes the Mini 3 Pro, a battery and the RC remote controller. Reputedly, the Mini 3 Pro will be orderable from May 10 and will ship on May 17.

Facebook says it has added several security features to help people in Afghanistan control their accounts as fears rise of reprisals from the Taliban.
In a series of tweets late Thursday, Facebook’s head of security said the company had temporarily disabled the ability to view and search the friends lists of Facebook accounts inside Afghanistan. He also said the platform, which is seeing a proliferation of new Taliban accounts despite a ban on the group, had provided a tool to help Afghans quickly lock their accounts if they feared being targeted.
The unprecedented measures target one of the most fundamental Facebook features: the friends list. They represent a frank acknowledgment from the company, which has long touted its ability to connect the world, of the risks of having personal information available on social networks.
Since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan this week, their promises of amnesty and reconciliation have been undermined by reports that their soldiers are engaging in reprisal attacks and forcibly cracking down on protests.
In the days since the militants took over cities including Kabul, the capital, many Afghans have shuttered their social media accounts and deleted messages out of fear that their digital footprints could make them targets of the former insurgents. In the past, the Taliban have meted out brutal retribution against Afghans with ties to the country’s former government or Western countries such as the United States.
The Taliban have nevertheless become sophisticated users of social media. During the summer offensive that catapulted them to power, they used social media platforms to spread their messages.
Facebook’s head of security, Nathaniel Gleicher, also urged people with friends in Afghanistan to consider tightening their own privacy settings.
The social network’s strict bans on the Taliban have pushed many of its most influential voices and officials to Twitter. Still, the platform has struggled to keep out all accounts. Dozens of new ones have appeared on the site in recent days, presenting the company with the difficult question of how to regulate a group that now controls Afghanistan.

The Premier League Restart continues on Friday night with a couple more games, and Paddy Power is offering all eligible customers the chance to claim a special ‘Power Price’ we recommend backing – a boosted 5/1 on Southampton and Manchester United both to win.
PLEASE NOTE: 18+. New and existing customers. Pays in cash. T&Cs apply.
Why You Should Back Southampton & Manchester United Both To Win
Southampton to beat Norwich City – Norwich possess one of the worst home records in the top flight and they have won just two Premier League fixtures since the start of 2020. Southampton, meanwhile, are one of the league’s better travelling teams so despite their poor form via the shutdown, this could be a great opportunity for Saints to stop the rot and kick-start their run-in as they try to avoid being dragged into a relegation scrap.
Manchester United to beat Tottenham Hotspur – Spurs’ season appeared to be falling apart at the seams when the Premier League suddenly went on hiatus in March, and they are now facing a United side who were in good form and had recently got the better of both Chelsea and Manchester City. United also got the better of old boss Jose Mourinho earlier in the campaign, winning 2-1 at Old Trafford, and it would not be a shock to see them do the double over him.
How To Claim 5/1 Southampton & Manchester United Both To Win
- Visit the Paddy Power website
- Sign into your account or register for a new one (new customers can claim a £10 risk-free bet)
- Head to the football section
- Select ‘Specials’ from the menu underneath the banner slideshow
- Look for ‘Southampton & Man Utd to both win on June 19th’
- Click on the yellow 5/1 odds box
- Enter your stake in the betslip and place your bet
- If Southampton and Manchester United both win, Paddy Power will pay out your winnings in cash.

Memories from 55 years ago awaken me this cold morning as I recall biting on an ice cube and chipping my eye tooth. Never gave me a problem until I ran my tongue over its worn, crooked edge. I smile remembering the love present that day, both my Grandparents admonishing me.
Now my teeth remind me of my mothers, old, lacking that meaty white look, striations line the vessels residing in the living pulp reminding me of crooked yellow lines drawn at random. I weep for my lost youth.

500 Startups’ ‘Distro Dojo’ to kick off in Malaysia in Aug
By Digital News Asia July 13, 2015
- Growth accelerator for Asean startups supported by MaGIC
- Participating startups get US$50K funding from 500 Startups
SILICON Valley’s 500 Startups will be launching its ‘Distro Dojo’ accelerator programme in Asia, supported by the Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC).
Distro Dojo was first launched in London last month. The first in Malaysia intake will commence in August at the MaGIC Cyberjaya campus, the agency said in a statement.
MaGIC has entered into a partnership with 500 Startups to support administrative costs and provide the space for 500 Startups to run the programme over a course of three years and graduate a total of 100 Asean growth-stage startups. Financial details were not disclosed.
500 Startups will be responsible for the complete management and facilitation of the programme, including bringing in top regional and global specialists to work with the selected startups.
Startups will receive US$50,000 worth of funding from 500 Startups – however, US$25,000 will be pumped back into the programme training fee, while US$25,000 will be available for product marketing.
Distro Dojo is a 10-week programme for top growth-stage startups that have raised at least US$150,000 in funding from other investors.
Startup founders and their teams will benefit from hands-on work done on their companies covering areas such as user acquisition, conversion optimisation, content marketing, user experience, and emerging channels, MaGIC said in a statement.
The main outcome is to grow a startup’s customer or user base, while upgrading the startup’s own competency in the area, it added.
“The Asean startup ecosystem is at a new stage of maturity, with plenty of companies having already gotten very far with their product and fundraising,” said 500 Startups managing partner Khailee Ng (pic).
“Now they need to deliver on the high expectations that come with fundraising. There are many ways to spend the money to get more customers, and we want to equip them with world-class tools, methods, and tactics to get them 510 times the customers with the same amount of funding they’ve raised,” he added.
In August to October 2014, four companies – The Luxe Nomad (Malaysia/ Singapore), CatchThatBus (Malaysia), iMoney (Malaysia) and Orori (Indonesia) – completed the Distro Dojo pilot programme, codenamed ‘Cerebro.’
These four companies had already raised over US$7 million in collective funding, and wanted to grow their customer base significantly, MaGIC said.
Noting that early-stage accelerators have been popping up, including the MaGIC Accelerator Programme (MAP), MaGIC chief executive officer Cheryl Yeoh (pic) said the agency also has “plans to cater to growth-stage startups, which have unique needs to turbocharge their user acquisition or revenue, post-funding.
“We are delighted that 500 Startups has chosen to work with MaGIC to launch Distro Dojo, an accelerator that is open to all Asean startups to apply to. In line with Malaysia’s chairing of the Asean summit this year, this programme reinforces MaGIC’s commitment to build entrepreneurs with an Asean mindset,” she added.
Applications are now open for the first intake into the program and more information can be found here.

Demi also shared the pictures on Snapchat, and added another one which was a closer up view of her chest and face.
Her sexy and confident posts come just days after she confessed she was feeling “better than ever” after overcoming her body issue demons.
She wrote on Instagram: “Feeling better than I’ve ever felt. It’s all about self love.
“Tell yourself you’re beautiful daily. Be gentle with yourself.
"Eat carbs without guilt and remember that life is too short to worry about what others think!!”
Demi, who has also battled alcohol addiction as well as bulimia, recently celebrated five years of sobriety.
She said: “It feels amazing. All I’ve been doing is focusing on bettering myself. It’s been quite the journey, but it’s well worth it.”
Part of her new lifestyle involves regular visits to the gym, with L.A.’s Unbreakable Performance Center founder Jay Glazer telling People Magazine: “This is her safe haven. Demi will be here for four hours a day.
"It’s her one place where she doesn’t have to be a pop star. She’s talked a lot about her addictions, and this has become her healthy addiction.
"She lights up when she comes in here.”
