The main vessel of the systemic arterial circulation arising from the heart. The aorta (see illustration) is the main artery leaving the heart in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. In mammals, reptiles, and birds, which possess two heart ventricles (muscular chambers that pump blood out of the heart), the aorta arises from the left ventricle. Divided into three parts for convenience only, the aorta carries blood from the heart to various organs and other structures of the body. The first portion is termed the ascending aorta and passes upward under the pulmonary artery; the coronary arteries arise at the base of the ascending aorta behind the aortic valves. The second part, or aortic arch, curves over the hilum of the left lung, giving off the innominate, left carotid, and left subclavian arteries, which supply the neck, head, and forelimbs. The third portion, or descending aorta, continues downward in the thorax on the left side of the vertebral column to the diaphragm, giving off small arteries to the bronchi, esophagus, and other adjacent tissues. Below the diaphragm, the vessel known as the abdominal aorta descends to the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra, where it bifurcates into the two common iliac arteries supplying the hindlimbs.

Routt County saw 6,124 voters turn out at the polls on Election Day, a drop from 2005's record number of 6,850 voters in an odd-year election.
The drop occurred despite a large number of local issues on this year's ballot.
"I was disappointed," Weinland said. "I thought we were going to have a higher-than-normal turnout, and it was ordinary."
Weinland said she wasn't sure why turnout dipped, but guessed the lack of any state issues on the ballot may have played a role.
Weinland said she was thankful for a smooth process compared to the 2006 election, in which voters waited for hours to cast ballots at crowded vote centers plagued by mechanical delays and a long ballot.
"We have a good experience under our belts as we move into '08," Weinland said of Tuesday's election. "I needed that. The voters needed that."
Steamboat Springs Mail-in ballots could be the only option for Routt County voters in the 2008 election.
In a meeting with the state legislature's Joint Budget Committee on Thursday, a group of county clerks from across Colorado said legislation might be necessary to allow an all-mail-ballot election in 2008, because the Colorado Secretary of State's Office has failed to complete a court-ordered recertification of the state's electronic voting equipment.
The recertification was supposed to be done in July, but is now not expected until December. The delay has stalled efforts of Colorado counties - including Routt - to prepare for next year's presidential election.
"I didn't make it down to Denver," Routt County Clerk and Recorder Kay Weinland said Friday. "I did say I would support an all-mail vote if we can't get our equipment certified."
The certification delay is frustrating, Weinland said, because of the amount of money that Routt County has already spent on 35 electronic voting machines.
Weinland received authorization earlier this year to purchase 20 more of the electronic machines for the 2007 election, at a cost of $160,900. But because the state won't allow counties to move forward with voting equipment purchases while the certification process is pending, Routt County has not yet bought its 20 new machines. And Routt County's 35 voting machines - used in Tuesday's election - could be disqualified from use in 2008.
"I think we're between a rock and a hard place," Weinland said. "We can't just buy more equipment."
'Excuse every time'
Secretary of State Mike Coffman has blamed the certification delay on voting machine vendors failing to provide all the information required to complete the certification process.
"It was, 'The dog ate my homework,'" Coffman said Friday. "It was an excuse every time. I've never seen anything like it."
Vendors, in turn, have accused Coffman of changing the rules throughout the process by repeatedly asking for additional information. Colorado's 64 counties currently use electronic voting equipment from four vendors. Routt County's machines are from Texas-based Hart InterCivic.
"The rules changed once we started down that road and they continue to change," said Pete Lichtenheld, director of marketing for Hart. "To change the rules in the middle of the process is unreasonable. : We're 100 percent confident in our equipment."
Coffman denied that he has been changing the rules, and said the additional requests were sometimes the result of more questions being raised than answered when Hart and other vendors submitted their initial documentation.
State Rep. Al White, R-Winter Park, is a member of the Joint Budget Committee and attended the county clerks' presentation Thursday. He seemed open to the idea of an all-mail ballot if necessary.
"My thoughts are, they need some legislative options to run fair and verifiable elections next year," White said. "There's a lot of uncertainty as to whether these machines will be certified on time."
Coffman acknowledged that circumstances have put him at odds with several of Colorado's county clerks. Coffman placed Routt County on his Election Watch List this year after a 2006 election that saw hours-long delays at Routt County polls.
Coffman said he is "getting it on both sides." In the face of lawsuits aimed at doing away with electronic voting altogether, Coffman said he is trying to make sure the equipment is beyond reproach.
At the same time, Coffman said, county clerks are nervously stuck with expensive machines that could be decertified.
"Their frustrations are just boiled over," Coffman said.
On top of it all, Coffman - who has announced his intention to run for the 6th Congressional District seat being vacated by Republican Tom Tancredo, a candidate for president - has also faced accusations that he is not committed to the task at hand.
Coffman denied such claims, as did White.
"He's committed to pursuing his job first and foremost, I think," White said. "He has always demonstrated an ability to do the job he was elected to do."
While confident the certification process will wrap up in December, Coffman said there is no guarantee that equipment will pass the certification.
"I don't know how the results are going to be," he said. "It could be that nothing passes."
In the event that any equipment does not pass certification, a "Legislative Task Force on Voting Equipment Recertification" will be convened to develop alternative solutions for Election Day 2008. State Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon, a Democrat, and State Rep. David Balmer, a Republican, will lead the task force, which will include Coffman.
Meanwhile, Weinland noted that mail-in ballots are gaining acceptance in Routt County. There were about 2,000 requests for mail-in ballots this year, compared to just 375 in 2005.

Fat Facts - Separate fact vs. fiction
Fat comes in two main forms: unsaturated and saturated fat – with both demanding a rightful spot on your plate. As it is a macronutrient that your body needs to function, we should be looking at 25 percent-35 percent of our daily calories coming from fat, with no more than 10 percent coming from saturated fat.
Most healthy fats can be distinguished as liquids at room temperature, whilst in comparison the saturated fats are solid. These good fats come mainly from vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fish, and they differ from saturated fats by having fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to their carbon chains. In terms of the beneficial fats, they can be categorised into two groups: Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated Fats.
Still need convincing to reorganise your eating regime to fit in these vital macronutrients? Well, I’ll let science do the talking. By replacing unsaturated fats in your diet and adding these healthy fats, you would improve your cholesterol profile through reducing the harmful LDL cholesterol, which would ultimately decrease the risk of heart disease. As well as this, it also lowers triglycerides. You can find increase the amount of Polyunsaturated fats in your diet by eating sources such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, flaxseeds, walnuts, canola oil, and un-hydrogenated soybean oil. And for Monounsaturated Fats, these are prominent in olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, avocados, and most nuts, as well as high-oleic safflower and sunflower oils. These Essential fatty acids (EFAs) will help keep you feeling full and will maintain proper brain cognition, whilst also cushioning vital organs, assisting with absorbing fat-soluble vitamins as well as numerous other benefits
Opposing these healthy fats, are the notorious Unsaturated and Trans Fat’s which can have negative effects on our health. A diet rich in saturated fats can drive up total cholesterol, and tip the balance toward more harmful LDL cholesterol, which prompts blockages to form in arteries in the heart and elsewhere in the body. For that reason, most nutrition experts recommend limiting saturated fat to under 10% of calories a day.
Imagine eating foods rich in a specific ingredient which increases the amount of harmful LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream and reduces the amount of beneficial HDL cholesterol, whilst also creating inflammation, which is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. Doesn’t sound good, now does it? Well unfortunately for us, this ingredient does exist – and it’s called Trans Fat. Food products such as doughnuts, cookies, pies, cakes, and commercially fried foods may all contain large amounts of trans fats. So, from a health perspective, we should try to cut this type of saturated fat out of our diets completely.
So what does fat actually do for you?
1. It's a major fuel source for your body (meaning it provides a lot of calories) and also the main way you store energy. 2. You need fat to help you absorb certain nutrients, such as fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E and K) and antioxidants (like lycopene and beta-carotene). 3. Fat is important in giving your cells structure. 4. Omega-3 fats, a type of unsaturated fat, are important for optimum nerve, brain and heart function. One type of fat you don’t need? Trans fats, an artificial kind of fat found in partially hydrogenated oils.

Happy Monday morning, folks … here’s Khloe Kardashian’s a**!
Seriously I can’t believe this shoot I did for @complex!!! I’m still blown away by how talented @stevengomillion is!!! Shout out to my glam team @1maryphillips and @cesar4styles. @monicarosestyle you always know how to make me feel so comfortable on set!! You are my security blanket!! I love you all madly! Check out the article at http://trib.al/sl3Mrey
It may look like she’s posing for King or Smooth mag, but nope, it’s actually Complex that got KK’s cake by the pound. The reality TV beauty has been working on her fitness for quite sometime and has been showing off her fit physique on Instagram. Now, she’s taken it up a notch a plastered that fatty on the front of a magazine.
But, it’s not just her body that’s on display. Khlo-money let the mag invade her mental for a minute, too. In the interview, Kardashian opened up about her relationship with French Montana and she admitted she may have used him for a distraction.
What’s your relationship like with French Montana now?
We haven’t dated in a few months. I’m friends with him. I talked to him recently because his best friend was just murdered. He’s a great guy, super funny, a sweetheart.
Would you consider him a rebound?
I don’t know if I believe in rebounds, unless you just sleep with someone for a night or two. They’re just people you can laugh and have a good time with. My life is so serious, or always moving so fast, it’s fun to have that outlet to enjoy and let your hair down and not worry about things.
And you guys seem to be cool even if you’re not together.
When you f*ck someone, why would you not…. Like, if someone has seen my vagina, I think it’s OK that I say hi and give him a hug hello.
Do you think you weren’t ready to be in a relationship yet?
For sure. I don’t think I was ready at all to have a serious relationship at the time. I needed time on my own to digest everything that’s happened. I went from Lamar to just distracting myself. Not to discredit French at all. I was very honest with French about that—I feel bad. I don’t think it’s fair for me to lead somebody on, or for me to act like I’m in this perfect headspace if I’m not. With love you don’t mislead or play around, so if you’re not perfectly clear, just be honest about it.
The now divorcée also opened up about her marriage to Lamar Odom. At the time of the interview the divorce had not been finalized.
What’s your relationship with Lamar like?
I talked to Lamar this morning. I talk to Lamar as often as I can, which is inconsistent, but not on my terms. When you genuinely feel like that was the right relationship, you’re supposed to give it all you can. That’s what marriage is about. It’s not, “Let’s see if it works, if not we always have divorce.” I am not one of those girls. You took a vow before God and you’re supposed to abide by that. I’m not rushing into my divorce because I’m not looking to get married tomorrow, so I don’t have a deadline. I’m not rushing it. So when it’s time and it’s supposed to happen, it will.
Lamar is genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever met, and everyone says that when they meet him. I think Lamar’s gonna always be that person [for me] but that’s what made it so special. Even if I had it for five years or whatever, it was the best ever and I’m grateful I did. Some people don’t get that ever and I had that magic for a long time.
Do you miss it now?
Oh my god, I miss him every day. I miss what we had—things we got to do together are just memories. I like looking back and holding on to that stuff. I definitely miss it, and there’s times I’ll get so sentimental and so sad, but this had to happen for some reason. I’ll figure it out over time, someone will give me that answer eventually. I think it would be very fucking weird if I didn’t miss it.
Oh, and speaking on relationships, Khloe as opened up about Kylie dating Tyga. Apparently, the youngest Kardashian sister thinks we have to treat their relationship as a “special case”.
Do you feel that the criticisms of Kylie and Tyga’s relationship are fair?
I think at 16 I was probably f*cking someone that was in their 20s, for sure. I wouldn’t say I was even dating, probably just sleeping with them. But again Kylie is not a normal 17-year-old. You’re not gonna say, “Hey, so what are you doing this weekend?” and have her say, “Having a slumber party at my girlfriend’s,” or “Going to prom.” That’s not what Kylie does. Kylie is taking business meetings and bought her first house, or she’s going on a private plane with Karl Lagerfeld to take a meeting. That’s not even what people do in their 30s. It’s a rare circumstance, so let’s treat this as a special case.
Check out the full interview where Khloe also talks about Caitlyn Jenner, Kanye West and more, at Complex.com. Take a look at more pics from the shoot in the gallery below.
Dwyane Wade On New Heartfelt Documentary: It’s A Story “I Never Got A Chance To Tell As A Kid”
It’s been an epic week for Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.
It first started with one of the biggest trades of the year with Wade returning back to Miami to finish the rest of the season with the Heat. “I was happy,” Wade told us on Thursday night about the trade.
He added, “The journey of the NBA took me to Chicago, it took me to Cleveland, but it also brought me back to Miami; a place from a basketball sense birthed me.”
Days following the big NBA announcement, the lovebirds then celebrated the release of Dwyane’s documentary, Shot in the Dark, which the NBA champion produced alongside Chance the Rapper.
The film follows the Orr Academy High School basketball team on Chicago’s Westside. Throughout the documentary, cameras capture the journey of individual athletes trying to make it to the NBA despite growing up in the violent streets of Chicago.
During the screening, Wade also opened up to HipHollywood about why the project was near and dear to his heart. “It’s home,” the Chicago native said. “I jumped on board right away because it’s a story being told that I never got a chance to tell as a kid. To be able to shed some positive light on a tough, dark situation for us was big.”
Union added, “I’m so proud. Coming up on Hoop Dreams … It explores so many other topics that are critical to kids in Chicago.”
As for whether or not D-Wade picked up some advice from his TV star boo, not quite. When asked what tips Union gave Wade ahead of the project, the actress told us, “None. You have to learn. Humility and school of hard knocks. Things are not going to go your way and you have to learn through experience just like the rest of us.”
Check out the documentary on February 24 on Fox Sports.

Despite the seemingly well-intentioned solution that Singer proposes in his essay article, there are three counter arguments against his point of view. One criticism is that the proposition of Singer is found to be too radical to the current moral standing of society today. Society today would rather outright condemn people who break the moral norms than a state of moral wrong. Singer argues that such moral standing should not to be a justification to not look beyond one’s own social problems and to be concerned with the moral problems. The matter falls that societies which have more than enough wealth do nothing to help populations which are in abject poverty while knowing something can be done to remedy it.The second objection to Singer’s proposition is that there should be a clear distinction between the act of helping the poor as either charity or duty. This is where the problem of Utilitarianism as a consequentialist form of ethics lies. Alexander and Moore (2007) observed that “according to critics, for consequentialists, there is no realm of moral permissions, no realm of going beyond one's moral duty (supererogation), no realm of moral indifference, and all acts are seemingly either required or forbidden”. It would be viewed as ethically problematic to force the wealthy individuals to give up some of their wealth against their will, regardless how noble the intentions are. However, Singer argues that an individual should always to do whatever would avert the greatest amount of bad. from happening, unless one could only prevent this bad by doing something that is wrong in itself. Singer does not suggest that a person can put off people from hunger but only by murder or theft, he or she should do so. Singer does not go to the length to assert any moral standards as absolutely right and obligatory but merely sets the issue of doing wrong that good may result from it. The last objection to Singer’s proposition in his essay article is the problem on how much should the wealthier people of society give away to those very much less fortunate. It would seem rather unfair that even though some people are wealthy, they would lose a significant portion to those who are in serious lack. What Singer suggests is that those with

The following essay under the title "On Famine, Affluence, and Morality" concerns the article written by Peter Singer that points out the solution to famine is the moral obligation of the wealthy to donate a portion of their belongings to the poor…
The situation he describes is one that could be told forty years later in the same words and same context, which is to state that little has changed in bridging the gap between the world’s poorest people and the richest societies economically, or even with regard to the most basic aspects of standard of living such as adequate food, shelter, and health care.
Even though people are born in different countries and speak different languages, they belong to one race and that is ‘humanity.’ If you have a relative or a friend who is suffering from starvation, then you will definitely help him by providing food as long as you have enough resources.
The article seems to suggest that we are responsible for the woes that have befallen the poor and the refugees in the camps. Peter Singer is therefore suggesting that it should be our responsibility and an obligation to get those entangled in unfortunate circumstances out of it (Singer, 1972).
He has numerous assumptions in his essay, which apparently discusses humanity’s duty to help starving people in countries that need help the most. Among his assumptions include our duty to prevent what is bad, and promote what is good. He elaborates this contention by explaining that if we, humans, have the capacity to help other people who are in need without sacrificing some things that are equally important and significant to our lives, then by all means, we are ought to do so.
The core thesis of Singer’s work is hinged on four suppositions: (1) "Suffering and death from lack of food, shelter and medical care are bad" (2) "If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, then we ought, morally, to do it", (3) "It makes no moral difference whether the person I can help is a neighbor's child ten yards from me or a Bengali whose name I shall never know, ten thousand miles away", and (4) "The principle makes no distinction between cases in which I am the only person who could possibly do anything and cases in which I am just one among millions in the same position".
In third world countries, adequate services and infrastructure are not readily available. Disaster response is also limited, reducing the countries’ ability to provide for its people. Contributing towards these eventualities is considered charity, which means the voluntary diversion of funds towards such assistance.
The viewing public also believes that by contributing money and food that it can stop the suffering and save the children. In fact, these assumptions are only partially correct. The causes of famine are far more complex than simply the weather or temporary natural conditions.
Mr. Singer argues that, in no uncertain terms, the world is not doing enough to help those that need it, and in fact those that can help have a moral obligation to do so. Mr. Hardin argues that while help is certainly possible for those that need it, the likelihood of
The core thesis of Singer’s work is hinged on four suppositions: (1) "Suffering and death from lack of food, shelter and medical care are bad" (2) "If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of

When I heard the riff, I thought, "Wow, this sounds pretty cool" and I was trying to think of what it reminded me of. I thought it sort of reminded me of Blaqk Audio, a side project of AFI (an American Alternate Rock band). Then, when heard the singing style, I was again reminded of the project. And then Jemaine and Bret appeared in the video with Jemaine having a hairstyle nearly identical to the singer's iconic one and Bret's hair and costume similarly echoing the synth/guitarist's. Blaqk Audio is such an obscure group, but I wonder if perhaps they were parodying their occasionally pretentious and somewhat 'edgy' attitude?
Or maybe I'm just stupid. Probably.

WASHINGTON — August 7, 2021 — The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO), representing the full spectrum of U.S. textiles from fiber through finished products, issued a statement today welcoming Senate passage of a bipartisan infrastructure bill that will provide billions of dollars in new spending to revitalize the nation’s roads, bridges and railways and help reconstitute a domestic supply chain for personal protective equipment (PPE).
“We commend the Senate for passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which will provide critical resources for our nation’s aging infrastructure and at the same time help incentivize the reshoring of personal protective equipment (PPE) production, an important priority of the U.S. textile industry,” said NCTO President and CEO Kim Glas.
NCTO worked with congressional allies to include a version of the Make PPE in America Act, legislation co-sponsored by Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.), in the infrastructure legislative package. The bill ensures all PPE purchased by the Departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs are Berry Amendment-compliant; guarantees long-term contracts (a minimum of two years) to U.S. manufacturers; and creates a tiered preference for PPE made in the Western Hemisphere by our free trade partners using U.S. components, after domestic manufacturing capacity has been maximized.
“We sincerely thank Senator Portman and Senator Peters for working to include their Make PPE in America Act in the infrastructure bill,” Glas said. “This bill will help onshore critical production of personal protective equipment (PPE) by guaranteeing long-term contracts for domestically produced PPE and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are utilized to bolster the federal purchase of American-made PPE.
The U.S. manufacturing industry has produced over a billion lifesaving PPE and other medical products over the last year, as NCTO members retooled production chains in response to the nation’s needs. We will continue to urge the government to purchase Berry-compliant products containing 100 percent domestic content for PPE to help bolster the full U.S. production chain in the future.”

The Cold Moon from earlier this month amped up a little bit with a Flickr filter. I love seeing and taking shots of the moon. Some filters are more than a distraction, this one actually makes the moon look a little three dimensional.
This is a file photo from a few years ago taken off my front yard at the sunset. I love a little color in the sky. This kind of color is short lived. I have found out that one has to act in a a minute or so or it all turns to gray.
I am linking with Skywatch Friday. Take a sky photo, post it on your blog and link it to Skywatch Friday. We never close.

UNPO Demands Immediate Release of IRA Anti-Slavery Activists and Announces Fact-Finding Mission
Initiative for the Resurgence of the Abolitionist Movement in Mauritania (IRA Mauritania) members Mr Biram Dah Abeid, Mr Brahim Ramdhan Bilal and Mr Djiby Sow are still imprisoned in Rosso, Mauritania. The three activists have remained in detention since their arrest on 11 November 2014.
They were sentenced to two years in prison after being formally charged with being members of an unauthorised organisation, violating public order, inciting violence and offending the authorities. These charges follow their involvement in the ‘Caravan of Liberty’, an initiative established to educate Haratin people throughout Mauritania about their rights to land and freedom from slavery. The repression of Haratin-led peaceful anti-slavery initiatives and demonstrations by the Mauritanian Government has been an ongoing problem in the country. Currently, seven other activists remain in prison, four of whom were arrested in October 2014 and are still yet to face trial.
In January 2015, UNPO strongly condemned the unfair detention of Mr Abeid, Mr Bilal and Mr Sow and demanded their immediate release.
Mr Abeid and his colleagues have appealed against the authorities’ decision. They are currently still waiting for a date to be set for their trial. UNPO fully supports their call for an appeal and sincerely hopes that the judicial process will be fair and free, since the right to a fair trial is essential in any country that respects the rule of law.
UNPO will continue to support their non-violent struggle and advocate for peaceful strategies in promoting the principles of dignity, liberty and equality that constitute the core of fundamental human rights.
Moreover, the three activists have been suffering from very poor conditions of detention. Other IRA members, currently detained following peaceful demonstrations, have reportedly been also tortured. Until recently, Mr Abeid, Mr Bilal and Mr Sow had not been able to watch television, play sports, or have access to a brighter part of the prison. Thanks to international pressure and the assistance of a delegation of the National Bar Association (ONA), the three activists were granted full respect of their prisoners’ rights. Subsequently, the three anti-slavery activists also announced that they decided to stop their hunger strike.
Two UNPO representatives will be conducting a fact-finding mission to Mauritania from 16 to 20 March 2015 in order to obtain more information on the situation of the imprisoned activists, and more broadly, on recent developments of the issue of slavery in the country.

This is another review of a recording from Varituuk with the musical style this time around returning to instrumental black metal with the demo being self released in 2012 and called "F">
"F1" begins with heavy black metal guitar riffs and drums and as the song moves on it goes more into a depressive black metal direction but the drums do start speeding up after awhile and the riffs get more diverse while remaining true to black metal.
"F2" begins with some mid paced and primitive black metal guitar riffs along with some drums and a minute later there is a brief use of blast beats being utilized before returning to a more mid paced direction but getting fast again in certain sections.
''F3" begins with some slow guitar riffs and drums and then the song gets slightly faster as time moves by but for the most part it stays more in a mid paced direction but closes with some slower riffing.
"F4" begins with some soft acoustic guitars and this is an all acoustic instrumental.
Song lyrics and vocals are all absent from t his recording with the music being all instrumental, while the production has a very dark, raw and primitive sound.
In my opinion t his is another great sounding recording from Varituuk and if you are a fan of instrumental black metal, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "F1" and "F3". RECOMMENDED.

The National Guard was on the streets of more than a dozen US states and Washington DC on Sunday morning, after protests following the death of George Floyd gave way to another night of violence across America.
Angry crowds have clashed with police in major cities across the US, with fierce battles in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington, in the latest display of public anger over the death of Floyd, an unarmed black man, in police custody last week. Some 5,000 members of the National Guard have been called up in 15 states and the District of Columbia, with another 2,000 prepared to deploy “if needed”.
The Floyd case, which echoes the high-profile killings of other black Americans at the hands of white police officers, has revived long-simmering tensions over race relations. It comes in the lead-up to a presidential election and in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 100,000 Americans and disproportionately affected people of colour.
“These last few days have laid bare that we are a nation furious at injustice,” Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former vice-president, said in a statement early on Sunday. Mr Biden endorsed peaceful demonstrations, but condemned the looting and destruction that has been rampant in many cities, with cars burnt, windows smashed and businesses ransacked.
“Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not,” Mr Biden said.
“The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest. It should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance.”
Police have arrested nearly 1,700 people in 22 cities since Thursday, according to the Associated Press.
In New York, at least 120 people were arrested and at least 15 police cars damaged on Saturday night. Protesters threw objects at officers and torched police cars, while a video showed two police vehicles driving into a crowd of demonstrators in Brooklyn.
Similar scenes played out in large cities like Philadelphia and Chicago, as well as smaller ones including Fargo in North Dakota, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
In Washington DC, shattered glass covered the pavement just blocks from the White House, as looters smashed windows of businesses and sprayed graffiti on federal government buildings.
In the south, in cities such as Richmond, Virginia, and Charleston, South Carolina, protesters vandalised monuments to the Confederacy, symbols of the Civil War and the America’s fraught racial history.
There were growing calls on Sunday for US president Donald Trump, who has attracted criticism for his handling of the Floyd case and seen his approval figures slide in recent weeks, to address the nation from the Oval Office.
A new national Washington Post-ABC News poll published on Sunday showed Mr Biden with a 10-point lead over Mr Trump, with 53 per cent of registered voters favouring the former vice-president over the sitting president.
Robert O’Brien, the US national security adviser, told ABC News the president had given “extraordinarily eloquent remarks” on Saturday about “bringing the American people together and how we stand with the family of George Floyd”.
Mr O’Brien said he did not know if the president would speak from the Oval Office, but said Mr Trump would “continue to communicate with the American people throughout this crisis”.
Yet Mr Trump’s critics said his interventions in recent days had done more harm than good. On Friday, Mr Trump provoked anger when he suggested the military could fire on protesters, tweeting: “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.” The post was hidden by Twitter, which said it violated the platform’s rules on glorifying violence.
Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington DC, told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday that Mr Trump “has a responsibility to help calm the nation, and he can start by not sending divisive tweets that are meant to hearken to the segregationist past of our country”.
Keisha Lance Bottoms, the mayor of Atlanta, said on the same programme: “What I’d like to hear from the president is leadership, and I would like to hear a genuine care and concern for our communities and where we are with race relations in America . . . I am concerned that this president has a history of making matters worse.”
Floyd died on Monday after police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, received a 911 call about the attempted use of a forged banknote. He was arrested by four police officers and held handcuffed, face down on the street with a knee on his neck, until he became unresponsive and was moved on to a stretcher.
The officers were sacked by the Minneapolis police department this week. Derek Chauvin, one of the officers, was taken into custody on Friday and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.


text: Lifestyle Pets Katy Perry's Dog Nugget Stars in Music Video for Her New Single 'Small Talk' Katy Perry debuted the music video for her new single "Small Talk" on Friday By Eric Todisco Published on August 30, 2019 04:55 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Katy Perry chose an adorably furry friend to star in her latest music video — her dog, Nugget. In the video for her new single “Small Talk,” Perry, 34, expresses her love for her pooch via song, of course, as the pop star and Nugget wear matching outfits throughout various scenes. Next, Perry and Nugget show off their runway skills at “The Mutt Ball” show, where they face off with other dog owners and their furry pets. While Nugget gets 10s across the board from the judges to earn herself and Perry the big trophy, another (human) competitor catches the eye of the singer, instantly creating jealousy from Nugget. As Perry falls in love with her new man, Nugget is left alone and saddened. However, it seems even dogs can find love from “The Mutt Ball” show: Nugget connects with Perry’s beau’s black Labrador, and the two couples live happily ever after … we can only assume. YouTube Katy Perry’s Dog Nugget Lands Her Own Commercial and 4 Other Celebrity Pets Who Found Stardom The “Small Talk” music video is not the first time that Nugget stole the show from her famous mom. In 2017, the pup starred in Perry’s new ad for Citi’s Double Cash card. In the spot, Nugget got her own personalized chair and Perry’s full attention. “I’ve traveled from stage to stage with Katy but it’s time to take my solo career to the next level and ride my own wagging tail. I’m as happy as a hound dog chasing a gut truck to be launching this new campaign with Citi,” Nugget said in a statement. “It finally puts me on the pedestal on which I belong.” Splash News Online Puppy Love! Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s Identical-Looking Dogs Are Bath Buddies Nugget also shares a striking resemblance to the dog of Perry’s fiancé. Orlando Bloom’s pooch Pups Mighty. Last August, Perry posted a photo of the fresh, clean and soggy canines on her Instagram, captioning the photo, “Couple O’ rugrats Nugget N’ Mighty,” of the two wet dogs standing side-by-side. When Bloom, 42, first got his pup, many thought the dog was actually Perry’s pooch, until photographic evidence proved otherwise.

12 May, 2021With a near 100 per cent majority, ArcelorMittal workers in Canada’s Quebec region have rejected the last offer from company management and called for an indefinite strike over wages, pensions and broken promises.
2,500 workers of ArcelorMittal Mining Canada in Port-Cartier, Fermont and Fire Lake participated in the vote, which returned between 97 to 99.8 per cent support to reject the company’s offer and in support of an indefinite strike.
"Taking the hard way out, our members decided to strike so that ArcelorMittal would share its staggering profits with the workers, for the benefit of their region, rather than just the shareholders,”
says Dominic Lemieux, Metallos (USW) Quebec director.
Workers had organized permanent picket lines in front of the company's facilities in Port-Cartier and Fermont.
The union is demanding better wages and pensions, improved working conditions as well as premiums for living in the North. As the price of iron is at a record high, workers argue it is high time that ArcelorMittal respect and acknowledge their immense contribution.
In addition, promises made during the 2017 negotiations have not been fulfilled, for example with regards to the hygiene of certain sites and the quality of some food served to workers.
Valter Sanches, IndustriALL Global Union general secretary, expresses solidarity with the workers and demand that ArcelorMittal returns to the bargaining table:
“The high level of support from the workers is a very direct indication of the trust between the members and their union. This is a clear signal to ArcelorMittal management to immediately return to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith to find a solution."
IndustriALL informed ArcelorMittal global union network members and asked to extend solidarity to their sisters and brothers in Quebec, Canada.

The United States has been facing an economic malaise and severe foreign policy issues since the end of the last recession in 2009. Inept energy policies can be blamed for much of these problems. It is prudent for energy policy to be elevated to a number one issue in the 2014 and 2016 elections in order to restore the nation’s economy and international leadership.
When it comes to energy, climate change, justice and transparency, the Obama Administration and its Environmental Protection Agency want it every possible way. Their only consistency is their double standards and their determination to slash hydrocarbon use, ensure that electricity prices “necessarily skyrocket,” expand federal government command and control, and “fundamentally transform” America.
President Obama has made 2014 his “year of action” and plans to use his executive authority to implement various actions of his agenda that are too divisive for Congress to consider. John Podesta, as White House adviser, was brought on board late last year to help Obama find ways to use executive orders to unilaterally push climate policies.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
Omega 3 fatty acids are one of the polyunsaturated fatty acids. These very important fatty acids are found in plant oils and marine oils. They keep you full, help your body absorb essential vitamins, and have been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Omega-3 fatty acids promote smoother, younger-looking skin by reducing inflammatory skin conditions like acne and psoriasis.
It has for long been believed that saturated fats were behind high cholesterol levels and heart disease. Research however, does not support this claim. Unsaturated fat makes up 74% of the fat that is found in clogged arteries, and more than half of that is polyunsaturated fat. Many long-living cultures ingest large amounts of saturated fats which also contain many disease-fighting nutrients and phytonutrients.
Case in point: mothers’ breast milk is high in saturated fats, which babies need for the development of their brain and nervous system. Although saturated fats have been much maligned, the truth is they are NOT the cause of heart disease.
Saturated fats raise HDL (high density lipoprotein), which is the “good” cholesterol and change LDL (low density lipoprotein), which is the “bad” from small, dense (bad) to Large LDL, which is mostly benign. Overall, saturated fats do not harm the blood lipid profile like previously believed.
Saturated fats are excellent for cooking, because they have no double bonds; they are highly resistant to heat-induced damage.

(DCWatchdog.com) – The United States of America is presently facing more significant domestic terrorism threats than it does from international terrorism, according to a leading Democrat member of the US Senate who was commenting on the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
US Senator Mark Warner, a Democratic from Virginia and the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, declared his concerns about domestic threats in a Sunday interview on CBS News “Face the Nation.”
Warner made it clear he is far more concerned about threats from within America and that he means conservative and right-wing Americans such as the protesters who breached the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
He was responding to a question by CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan about whether 21 years after 9/11, America is still vulnerable to Islamist terrorism and whether it is “paying enough attention to the Middle East and to Afghanistan.”
In his answer, the Democrat chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee recalled that he was right in the middle of a political campaign when the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened and that back then, he had far fewer differences with his opponents than he does today.
He lauded the American public for “coming together” after the attacks and insisted that “we defeated the terrorists” due to its “resilience.”
Warner also emphasized that thanks to the US intelligence community, America is both “better prepared” and “safer” from Islamist terrorism. He then compared the foreign terrorist threat to the “domestic threat.”
“The stunning thing to me is here we are 20 years later, and the attack on the symbol of our democracy was not coming from terrorists, but it came from literally insurgents attacking the Capitol on January 6,” the Democrat US Senator stated.
“I believe we are stronger. I believe our intelligence community has performed remarkably. I think the threat of terror has diminished. I think we still have new challenges in terms of nation-state challenges, Russia in longer-term, a technology competition with China,” Warner elaborated.
He then emphasized that “the election deniers” from the 1/6 “insurgency” are his most significant cause of concern for the safety and security of the United States.
“But I do worry about some of the activity in this country where the election deniers, the insurgency that took place on January 6, that is something I hope we could see that same kind of unity of spirit,” declared the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
What is your reaction to and opinion of Warner’s comments? Please share your thoughts by emailing [email protected]. Thank you.

Types of Execution
There are four order execution modes in the MetaTrader 5 for Android mobile platform:
- Instant Execution
In this mode, the order is executed at the price offered to the broker. When sending an order to be executed, the platform automatically adds the current prices to the order. If the broker accepts the prices, the order is executed. If not, the so-called "Requote" occurs: the broker returns prices, at which the order can be executed.
- Request Execution
In this mode, the market order is executed at the price previously received from the broker. Prices for a certain market order are requested from the broker before the order is sent. After the prices have been received, order execution at the given price can be either confirmed or rejected.
- Market Execution
In this order execution mode, a broker makes a decision about the order execution price without any additional discussion with the trader. Sending an order in such a mode means advance consent to its execution at this price.
- Exchange Execution
In this mode, trade operations conducted in the platform are sent to an external trading system (exchange). Trade operations are executed at the prices of current market offers.
Execution mode for each security is defined by the brokerage company.

More than 1 billion tons of food lost or wasted every year, UN-backed report finds
About a third of all the food produced for human consumption each year – or roughly 1.3 billion tons – is lost or wasted, according to a new study commissioned by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The study, compiled by the Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology and unveiled today, finds that food waste is more of a problem in rich countries and food loss during production is a bigger issue in poor countries because of poor infrastructure and technology.
Consumers and retailers in industrialized countries waste an estimated 222 million tons of food each year, mostly by throwing away perfectly edible food. Fruits and vegetables have the highest rates of wastage.
The average consumer in Europe and North America wastes 95 to 115 kilograms of food a year, while his or her counterparts in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia or South-East Asia wastes only six to 11 kilograms of food.
The report outlines steps to reduce waste, noting that surveys consistently show consumers are willing to buy foods that are safe and taste good even if their appearance does not meet some standards.
Selling farm produce direct to consumers, without having to go through supermarkets and their over-emphasis on the appearance of foods, is another recommendation.
Charities should work with retailers to collect and then distribute or on-sell food that would otherwise be thrown away, despite meeting standards of safety, taste and nutrition.
The report also calls for a change in consumer attitudes to encourage them to not buy more food than they need at any one time and to not throw food away needlessly.
For poorer countries, the report recommends measures to strengthen the food supply chain post-harvest, noting that many farmers miss out on valuable income because food is lost during harvest or in subsequent storage.
“The private and public sectors should also invest more in infrastructure, transportation and in processing and packaging,” the report also states.

This paper presents a self-startup power management IC (PMIC) applicable in thermoelectric generators (TEGs). The PMIC is based on a boost converter integrated with a complete control circuitry that handles all required operations, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The converter supports cold self-start from low TEG voltages using three startup phases and two power-on-reset (POR) signals for smooth transitions between the phases. The PMIC is designed and fabricated in a 180-nm technology. The cold-start operation is verified at a minimum TEG voltage of 60 mV. The converter achieves a peak efficiency of 79.94% at 120-mV input voltage and 1080 mu W output power, while maintaining efficiency above 70% for a wide range of TEG voltage from 80 mV.


Miss Sánchez Ramírez Mariana Downing is crowned Miss Dominican Republic Universe 2023
Santo Domingo.- Mariana Downing, the representative of Sánchez Ramírez, was crowned as the new Miss Dominican Republic Universe 2023 on Sunday night. The 27-year-old beauty is set to represent the Dominican Republic in the upcoming Miss Universe competition, scheduled to take place in El Salvador in December of this year. The event unfolded at the Sambil Convention Center and was broadcast on Color Visión, channel 9.
Chantal Silliman, and Miss Santiago, secured the position of fourth runner-up, while Miss Distrito Nacional, Eoanna Constanza, claimed the third runner-up title. Melissa Domínguez from Miss Santo Domingo de Guzmán took the place of the second finalist, and the first finalist position was secured by Yamilex Hernández, the representative of La Vega.
Downing, a 27-year-old Dominican model of British heritage, gained international recognition for her relationship with Puerto Rican salsa singer Marc Anthony when she was 21. Born in the Dominican Republic, she pursued her modeling career in Miami, signing with the Wilhelmina agency and collaborating with renowned brands such as Calvin Klein and Chanel.
Despite her Dominican and English heritage, Downing does not speak Spanish, which became evident during the question section of the gala where she responded in English. This raised reactions on social media, though her response was deemed excellent. Journalist Alicia Ortega asked her what she would prefer among being pretty, rich, or intelligent. Downing replied in English, saying, “Between being smart, beautiful, or rich, I would choose to be smart. Intelligence builds legacies, and inner beauty is crucial in an educated society. Intelligence takes us far, and wealth comes with intelligence. As Nelson Mandela said, ‘Knowledge is power.'”
The Miss RD Universo gala was hosted by Yulianna Vargas and the current Miss RD Universo, Andreína Martínez, who was also the second runner-up in Miss Universe. Participants discussed various causes they support, such as mental health, circular economy, and autism awareness campaigns.
The Dominican singer La Ross María added musical charm to the event with her songs, including “My Most Beautiful Gift.” Throughout the gala, participants were acknowledged for their efforts and dedication during the contest.
In addition to Mariana Downing’s victory, several participants received special awards:
– Best Body: Amelia Ramírez, Miss San Cristobal
– Best Talent Test: Madelyn Mejía, Miss Peravia
– Overcoming Girl: Yndiana Abreu, Miss Salcedo
– Miss Photogenic: Francheska Pujols, Miss Azua
– Miss Communication: Heidy Rosado, Miss Barahona
Out of 24 candidates, the number was reduced to 15 semifinalists, then 10, and finally, five, with Mariana Downing emerging as the winner. The participants showcased their elegance in swimsuits and evening gowns, featuring designs by Bride To Be, Leonel Lirio, and Giannina Azar.
The jury for the contest included the “Beauty Czar” Osmel Sousa, along with communicator Miralba Ruiz, designer Nina Vásquez, and designer Gustavo Arango.

Enjoy a more convenient road trip thanks to cutting-edge driver assistance technology
They say the journey is the destination, but sometimes on a road trip, you just want to get there — to the lake, to your friends’ house, to that city you’ve never visited before. Wherever you’re going, you’re probably familiar with using cruise control to help make long drives easier and more relaxing. But now it’s time to take a leap forward into the future with a technology that helps make driving even more convenient: Super Cruise.™*
Super Cruise is the first true hands-free technology for compatible roads. It uses sensors in your compatible vehicle, as well as high-definition maps, to steer and maintain your vehicle’s position within the lane. That means on compatible roads you can safely take your hands off the steering wheel when Super Cruise is engaged (though you should always keep your eyes on the road and be ready to take over.)
Think of it as a 21st century step forward from the traditional cruise control we’re all comfortable with and a more advanced adaptive cruise control. And just like using cruise control helps make a road trip a little more relaxing, so too does using Super Cruise. That keeps you fresher for all the fun you have planned for once you get to your destination.
Super Cruise is available on select Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC vehicles today, and by 2023, Super Cruise will be available on 22 GM models. So you may already have this technology — and if not, it may be on your next vehicle!
To get inspired for your next Super Cruise road trip, start by taking a look at our map of compatible roads. There are more than 200,000 miles of Super Cruise–enabled roads in the U.S. and Canada. With so many places you can use it, you may be inspired to find excuses for another last-minute road trip. For instance, you could try Super Cruise for:
- Taking a weekend jaunt from Southern California to Las Vegas to try your luck or see a show
- Traveling through the Midwest to sample some deep dish in the Windy City
- Crossing Texan highways in search of the best brisket
- Loading up friends and family for a long weekend escape to the beach
- Scouting the Pacific Northwest in search of the most picturesque trailheads
Wherever you’re thinking of trying Super Cruise, first become an expert on all you need to know by checking out our frequently asked questions about this cutting-edge technology.
Stay connected along the way
Of course, Super Cruise isn’t the only technology that can make your next road trip a little more relaxing and convenient for everyone on board. Your vehicle’s available in-vehicle Wi-Fi® Hotspot* allows passengers to stay connected on the go. They can post to social media, catch up on work, stream movies or music, or scope out the next lunch stop online. Up to seven compatible devices can connect to the hotspot at once! Learn more about how to use your Wi-Fi Hotspot before heading out on your next trip.

Well, this is it. On May 27, 2006, Bud Shank reaches 80 years of age, and he is not only still on his feet but busier and playing better than ever!
He works in some strange places, like Fargo last month, where it was minus 6 degrees and snowing a blizzard. Then there is a tour of Taiwan/Mainland China/Hong Kong in the planning stages for summer.
Coming out soon is the Bud Shank Big Band CD, recorded at a roaring, fantastic performance live at Ken Poston's fall event in 2005. This is Bud's first ever big band of his own, and he hopes to do a lot more work with them in the near future. He is also planning to record a duo CD with pianist Bill Mays in New York City this spring.
In celebration of
such a major birthday, Bud got to pick a very special present, and of
course he couldn't as for a nice tie or new slippers. His gift is sitting
in the garage in all its glory: a 2006 silver Porsche
During the birthday month of May, Bud will tour back east, with two nights at Chris's Cafe in Filial, then four nights at the Iridium in New York City, including a birthday bash on the 27th, then a tentative gig at Blues Alley in DC, followed by two nights of concerts at Scullers in Boston. Should be a fun tour and a nice chance to connect with a lot of friends and fans on the right coast.
Mrs. Bud is at work on a book entitled "Vignettes -- Life on the Jazz Road," a humorous look at the travails of touring.


Law enforcement agencies don’t flip through old yearbooks when they want information on a suspect anymore–they turn to Facebook and Twitter.
Social media sites say they are constantly besieged with requests for information. Facebook told Newsweek in 2009 that it received between 10 and 20 requests for information each day.
The New York Times reports this country’s antiquated privacy laws, which haven’t changed since 1986, make it hard to stay on top of the flood. Critics say the current law gives “more protection to letters in a file cabinet than e-mail on a server.”
They want to see the law tweaked to provide just as much protection for emails as a letter someone would store in their home.

President Kufuor has asked Ghanaians to recognise the common destiny of all the ethnic, cultural, religious and political groupings within the country for peaceful co-existence.
"When we begin to stress what unites us, it becomes easier to resolve those things that divide us," he said, in a speech at the 50th Anniversary and Founders Day of the Achimota School in Accra at the weekend.
A performance by the students, using the theme of the school's song "From Gambaga to Accra and Wiawso to Keta." was staged to display the cultural diversity of Ghanaians and the school's aim of serving all Ghanaians, irrespective of one's cultural of religious background.
The President said Achimota School was among the first to acknowledge the common humanity and mutual interdependence of the black and white races.
Unfortunately, he said the world of today in many areas is heavily marked by intolerance, conflicts and suspicion founded on religion, race and wealth, adding that the "idea of the common humanity of the races tends to be relegated to behind these causes of division."
He said the forces driving globalisation namely-science and technology would however compel the acceptance of common humanity as central and the destiny of all the evolutionary philosophies and processes that the world was struggling over?
The world must share common values of interdependence and submission of the precept of "each being his brother's keeper to survive."
That, he said, was why nations and communities like Ghana must accept to live by that imperative of enshrining mankind as the "raison d'etre" of all endeavours.
President Kufuor also commended the founders of the school for launching the co-educational system.
Though it was new and quite revolutionary, he said it has remained the best arrangement for a rounded and balanced education which has provided the "girls equal opportunities with the boys,"
With the whole world now acknowledging the role of women in nation building, President Kufuor said it was time society worked hand-in-hand with government to remove the remaining cultural barriers that impede the full participation of women in national development.
He paid tribute to the many Achimotans including Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Flt.-Lt.Jerry John Rawlings, both former Presidents, who have played their part in the development and governance of the country.
The President urged the students and the entire youth of the country to seize the moment and apply their mind, hearts, and hands to their studies to enable them to position themselves well to overcome the many challenges of the world.
Kwame Pianim, Chairman of the function and president of the 1957 year group of the school, recalled the contributions of old Achimotans to the growth and development of the country.
He said it was gratifying to see most of the 1957 year group Achimotans serving in various capacities in the country.
Mr. Pianim, a noted economist, also commended the government for ensuring a micro economic stability and for laying a solid economic foundation for the future.
The acting Headmistress of the school, Mrs. Flora Mensah, said it was a tradition to honour founding fathers of the school on the first Saturday of every March.
She said the event was aimed at showing the cultural differences among Ghanaians.
