You can’t medicate your grief; at some point you have to stop and the pain comes rushing back. Distractions do help; but if you are not grieving your loss, eventually distractions end and you are once again left with the pain.So what does work?
Allowing yourself to fully mourn your loss so you can ultimately accept it and move on with your life. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t begin to re-enter during the process. In fact, making your way back into the world goes a long way in helping you work through your grief.
Patience and purpose are helpful healers. Activities and deeds, such as work, hobbies, interests, and volunteering are excellent ways to distract while helping the mind refocus. And when you’re in a place where it’s difficult to feel joy, there is satisfaction in accomplishing tasks and joy in helping others.
Transitions are never easy and this is a tough one to make. Everyone works through grief in their own way and in their own time; so cut yourself or your loved one some slack and go with what works.

Harran is among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Harran is the most special among them as the city is still called with the same name as the Akkadians called it. Harran was established in the 62nd Century BCE like the other small agricultural villages of Upper Mesopotamia. The city walls were added to protect the people and their produce in the 30th Century BCE. Harran was part of a strong trading system of the Mesopotamian cities which grew the city to agriculture, science, and religious center. Akkadians called it Harranu which meant crossroads in their language. Harran became an Assyrian Colony by the Bronze Age. Harran's first influence of religion started in 2000 BCE by Sumerians building a Sin temple in the city. Sin was the god of the moon in Sumerian Mythology. Assyrians, Hittites, Meds, Persians, Alexander the Great, Romans, Arabs, and Turks all contributed to the long history and culture of Harran.
Where is Harran?
Harran is a district of Sanliurfa province of the Republic of Turkey. It is located in the south of Sanliurfa on the way to Syria. Harran is only 45 kilometers away from Sanliurfa city and only 25 kilometers away from the Syrian Border. You can reach Harran with a flight to Sanliurfa GAP airport which is only 83 kilometers away from Harran. Thanks to the proximity to Sanliurfa, Harran will be a very special experience of your southeastern tour of Turkey. Tour in Mesopotamia should include Harran as well as the neighboring important attractions like Gobeklitepe and Sanliurfa.
What to see in Harran?
Harran is famous for the adobe houses. The architecture is similar to a beehive from the top. Thousands of mud bricks were piled up on top of each other to create the iconic roofs of Harran houses. Once you are in Harran, you should definitely visit one of these houses which are tourist attractions now to refresh. Modern Harran today and some old inhabited houses behind the city walls are neighboring the ancient Harran City. Excavations of the Harran mound continue at a very slow pace due to the heat of Harran in summer. There have been recent restorations in the ancient city to the Grand Mosque of Harran as well the tower of the University of Harran. After Islam, Harran became a center of education before Baghdad thanks to the multicultural population. Many western works were translated to Arabic in Harran city making it an important center of science. Not much is left from this center of knowledge today besides the tower but it is still breathtaking to see the remains of this legendary complex. As Harran is part of the Great South East Anatolian Irrigation Program, there are many irrigation systems scattered on the Harran plains. Harran is a very fertile land at the moment thanks to the legendary Euphrates River supplying water to the numerous villages of Harran and prepare to take pictures of the locals on duty.
Harran in the Bible
Harran is associated with Haran in the Bible which is translated as Charan in Hebrew. Abraham, his nephew Lot, and his wife Sarai all lived in Harran for a while on their way from Ur to Canaan. Haran was the home of Laban, Isaac, and Jacob according to Genesis 27:43. Harran is stated in the 2 Kings and Isaiah because of the Assyrian conquests in the 8th and the 7th BCE. The Book of Ezekiel identifies Harran as a trading Phoenician city. Harran was a seat of a Christian diocese before the First Nicaea Council in 325. The Romans moved the seat to Edessa which was the capital of their Osrhoene State. Today, Harran is a titular see according to the Christian Church.

People working in teams are vulnerable to so-called process losses, which occur when the teams output is less than what could be produced given the capabilities of the team members. Teams can develop practices that provide awareness of each other's activities, thereby enabling them to coordinate activities better and reducing one of these process losses coordination loss. Such awareness is harder to maintain when team members are geographically dispersed, but can be promoted using social computing technologies. We present a framework derived from a case study that identifies drivers of awareness practices in geographically dispersed teams. Our investigation indicates that new awareness practices were developed at times when the teams faced changes in the team's goals, social computing context, physical context, and team structure. The teams developed awareness practices to improve coordination in the teams, but the practices had the added effect of decreasing social motivation losses. Based on these results, organizations that are considering implementing social computing technologies such as life streaming and microblogging are advised to take social motivation into account formulating their implementation strategies. Designers and users of social computing technology are similarly advised to consider latent social motivation effects that might occur in organizational teams when social computing technology and practices are introduced.

We enjoy ethnic food and love cooking it at home. I first made this Chicken Tikka Masala from Cook’s Illustrated a couple of years ago and was so impressed that I was able to make such a delicious Indian dish at home.
Although the recipe does have quite a few ingredients and multiple steps, it is fairly easy. Don’t be intimidated if you’ve never tried anything like this at home! The sauce and chicken are cooked separately and stirred together in the end. The chicken is dipped in yogurt and broiled which yields tender meat with nice charred spots. While the chicken cooks, the masala sauce simmers. The sauce has a nice, slow burning heat thanks to a serrano chili. If spice isn’t your thing, substitute a milder pepper or omit it all together.
The only substitution that I made to the original recipe was to sub the heavy cream in the sauce for plain yogurt. I thought that the plain yogurt would work well in this dish to add creaminess based on my success with this Curry and Yogurt Braised Chicken that we love. It turned out just as tasty as I hoped and the plain nonfat yogurt provided guilt-free creaminess.
I served the tikka masala over brown rice with naan on the side. Naan is a must for dipping into the delicious sauce. I usually make homemade naan but was pressed for time so I used Trader Joe’s naan. It was passable but Brandon and I both agreed that the homemade is much better.
One final note, this dish reheats well. It’s one of those things that has even more flavor the second time around. Whether you love Indian food or have never made it at home, this is an awesome recipe to try!
Chicken Tikka Masala
(Recipe source Cook’s Illustrated)
FOR THE CHICKEN
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon table salt
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts , trimmed of fat (I only used two large breasts and it was fine)
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (I used fat free)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium garlic cloves , minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
FOR THE MASALA SAUCE
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 fresh serrano chile, ribs and seeds removed, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2/3 cup heavy cream or plain non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves (I omitted)
FOR THE CHICKEN (STEP ONE)
In a small bowl, stir together cumin, coriander, cayenne and salt. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with spice mixture and press gently to adhere. Cover chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour. While chicken is in fridge, in large bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, garlic and ginger.
FOR THE MASALA SAUCE
In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, chile, tomato paste and garam masala and continue to cook, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, sugar and salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cream or yogurt and return to simmer. Remove pan from heat and cover to keep warm.
FOR THE CHICKEN (STEP TWO)
While sauce is simmering, Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over it. Spray rack with cooking spray. Adjust the oven rack to upper-middle position (about 6 inches from heat) and pre-heat broiler. Dip chicken into the yogurt mixture (you’re looking for a thick coating of yogurt) then arrange chicken on the wire rack. Discard excess yogurt mixture. Broil chicken until thickest parts register 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer and exterior is lightly charred in spots, 10 to 18 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through cooking.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes and then cut into 1-inch chunks. Stir into warm sauce (do not simmer chicken in sauce). Stir in cilantro, season with salt to taste and serve over rice with naan.
Yield: 4-6 servings

Universal Standard, which launched in September 2015, as a direct-to-consumer apparel brand for women sizes 10 to 28, is introducing a limited-edition size-extended jewelry collection.The collection will consist of a necklace, choker, earrings, rings and bracelet, all made to scale on a larger frame so that each piece will not only fit comfortably but also look good on a bigger body.According to Alexandra Waldman, cofounder and chief creative officer of Universal Standard, women on the bigger side of the plus-size range — sizes 18 and up — often have difficulty accessorizing their looks due to a lack of jewelry options made to look right on a larger form. Pieces often pinch, or sit unnaturally on the body, she said. In an effort to give women better options, the company created this limited-edition collection of silver-plated jewelry, made specifically for the plus-size customer. “The designs are minimalist but full of understated drama,” she said. They are doing the manufacturing themselves.The collection retails from $40 to $70 and will be available beginning July 11 on universalstandard.net. Specific pieces include pendulum earrings for $50, pebble necklace for $70, a tile ring for $40, pebble bracelet for $60 and a jointed choker for $60.In addition to an online business, Universal Standard has a New York showroom where customers can book an appointment, at 256 West 36th Street, work with one of their stylists, and items will be delivered from their distribution center to their home, with free shipping and free returns in the U.S.Waldman declined to provide a first year projection, but said, "This is a pretty untapped territory so any projections would be hard to nail down, but with 100 million plus-size women in the U.S., it’s fair to say that demand is definitely there."In a related move, Universal Standard is embarking on a 12-city road trip for a series of pop-ups, trunk shows, and a model search beginning Sept. 7. Nordstrom will be hosting six of the 12 pop-ups in their major markets including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, and Washington D.C. For the duration of the road trip, Universal Standard will be selling the majority of its collection at both Nordstrom and on its Web site.
Etro’s show, titled “The Tree of Life,” was a celebration of the house’s 50th anniversary. “My father founded the company in 1968, which was the year of counterculture and psychedelia. It’s really a show that celebrates that and the paisley design of India and its origin,” said Veronica Etro. #wwdfashion #mfw #ss18 (📷: @delphineachard)
For @msgm’s spring 2018 show, creative director @massimogiorgetti said “Words, sounds, colors. Synthesis and therapy of a collection,” were the inspirations behind the collection, showing today. Read the rest of Milan spring 2018 inspirations on WWD.com. #mfw #wwdfashion #ss18

Air Berlin, the German airline partly owned by Gulf carrier Etihad, is launching another cost-cutting initiative as it tries to return to profit."The company is reacting to a further worsening of the economic environment, the weak euro and consumer behaviour that is marked by growing uncertainty," the company said in a statement.Germany's second-biggest airline after Lufthansa also said a German air travel tax and persistently high fuel prices created additional headwinds.It said it aimed to significantly reduce costs with the new programme, dubbed Turbine 2013, without being more specific. It also did not say whether the programme would involve job cuts.Air Berlin, which has not posted a full-year operating profit since 2007, has already cut seats, unprofitable routes and postponed plane orders to reduce costs and shrink its way back to profitability after racking up debts to expand.Its current savings programme, Shape & Size, is aimed at improving earnings before interest and tax by EUR€230 million by the end of 2012.German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier cited a letter sent to employees by chief executive Hartmut Mehdorn as saying Shape & Size would not be sufficient to reach the airline's goal of returning to an operating profit next year.

It is perhaps maybe not really a scene through the Hollywood hit “Runaway Bride” but a conventional Serbian wedding service — just with a lot of the functions played by Chinese tourists.
Enticed by visa-free travel and costs that are low to Western Europe, the Chinese have now been arriving at Serbia within their droves.
The landlocked Balkan state is currently one of many fastest-growing locations in European countries for Chinese travellers, topping the maps this past year, and it has been rolling away of the carpet that is red.
From Chinese restaurants, to street indications in Mandarin, infrastructure has quickly sprung up.
Chinese authorities were also sent to your roads of Belgrade in the summer to simply help keep in touch with their compatriots, a programme also piloted in other European metropolitan areas.
Plus in rural western Serbia, locals in the little, picturesque vacation town of Gostoljublje have discovered a method to claim a piece for the cake.
Zeljko Sredic, whom has the resort of wood getaway domiciles, lays on a complete Serbian wedding experience, without really getting hitched.
“We thought we would do weddings since they include most of the traditions: the tradition of food, track, party, costumes and so forth,” he told AFP.
The wedding extravaganza has been wooing the Chinese in particular since it began two years ago against rolling hills and farmland.
– Costumes and dance –
On a present Saturday, two busloads of tourists mostly from Shanghai had been welcomed with people music and drawn into a old-fashioned circular “kolo” party by their Serbian hosts.
“They always want one thing uncommon, different things and this is unquestionably one thing you cannot get in agencies that have typical trips to offer,” Katarina Jovancic, the group’s Serbian guide, stated regarding the sidelines for the dancing. (mehr …)

Phang Nga Province is just one hour north of Phuket. The jungle is as stunning as that of Khao Sok. Being closer, this is a much more budget-friendly destination.
Forest Park Hike (very easy)
This particular forest park area in Phang Nga Province is almost entirely flat. Thick, verdant jungle with plenty of old-growth trees is the overall theme. Several small creeks with cool water make hiking comfortable. Plus, riparian areas (areas beside a river or stream) tends to offer the most biodiversity.
Walking beside majestic limestone karst cliffs is a big part of the attraction. There are a few caves and stunning cave-like features as well as springs coming out of the rock. One unique spring produces a lovely waterfall.
During the spring months, there is a lot of wild edible fruit available. There is always something in the plant kingdom to eat. Various gingers, mushrooms, and leafy plants offer year-round wild dining.
There is at least three days’ worth of hiking in the particular patch of jungle. If you walk each of these at a steady pace, they are about five hours in length. This can be shortened and it will take longer if you are on a survival-centric trip as you will learn different survival skills along the way.
On multi-day trips, it is recommended to start off here and work your way to more challenging routes. However, if you are sure you want to try more challenging routes, this area can be skipped.
The ascent takes about 30 to 40 minutes and it is not very difficult. Once you reach the ridge, you will be treated to gorgeous old-growth jungle with many primary-growth trees.
The trail is undulating, but not challenging if you take your time. There are a few tricky spots, but there are always trees to grab to assist you.
This area is extremely good for wild edible fruit during the spring months especially. There are also a good quantity of orchids and other epiphytes, thus adding to the dramatic effect of the tropical jungle setting.
The largest flower in the world, the Rafflesia, is common in the jungle here. It is much easier to see here than in the more popular national parks like Khao Sok.
The downhill section is challenging, especially if it happens to be wet. If it is dry, it is not slippery. If it is wet, care must be taken.
If you walk at a steady pace, this jungle hike takes about six hours. You will end in a plantation area with dirt roads, necessitating the need for a transfer by truck as vans/buses can’t access these roads.
Starting off in a Palm Oil plantation, you will quickly start walking along a beautiful small river. It starts off with a splendid waterfall… one of many to come.
You will walk in the water most of the time. This is an area with very thick jungle, so walking in the river is the absolute best way to access the deeper parts. There are a couple of areas where you will walk on a jungle path to skip and difficult stretch of river. The path is easy.
There is a creek flowing into the river and you have the option of hiking up this creek or continuing on the river. The creek is more congested and difficult to navigate, but it offers a different look at some thicker jungle. If you continue along the river you will be treated to several small waterfalls. There are some wonderful places to take a break and go for a swim. The water is cold, at least by Thai standards, but very refreshing. This is an ‘out and back’ type of hike as there are no easy loops in the area.
This is normally about a four to five hour hike. It can be shortened or extended as desired. If you are focusing on jungle survival, this will take longer.
If you are comfortable on uneven terrain and willing to scale waterfalls and ascend steep mountains, this is the route for you.
Luckily, the rocks in this creek are not overly slippery. There are clean routes up the more tricky waterfalls with solid, flat, footholds right where you need them.
You will be in the creek for quite a while, and then you’ll veer off up a mountain. It is steep. You have the option of carrying a walking staff (supplied) and this does help. The walk to the top takes almost an hour and it is at a very steady sharp incline.
However, once you reach the ridge you will find that it was all well-worth it. The trail remains easy for the next hour or so. There are a lot of huge emergent tree species (species that towering way above the mean jungle canopy level).
You will eventually walk downhill to rejoin the creek. However, this time you are on the opposite side of the mountain. You have the option of doing a twenty minute hike (one way) in the opposite direction to visit a big pool full of big fish if you wish. If you choose not to, you take a left and head through the creek. There are a couple of tricky spots where it is safer and easier to wade or swim through a pool instead of scaling the creek bank.
At a certain point you will turn off of the creek and head up a steep mountain. This bypasses a very problematic section of the creek. It is not a long climb. The downhill section after it is actually more challenging, though there are trees to grab right when you need one.
This is a solid six hour hike. It is something you can build up to and do on your last day (recommended) of a multi-day hiking / jungle survival trip.
So, if you did everything listed here you could spend six
days in the jungle.
Check out the jungle survival tour prices.
Check out our Coastal survival course held on a small island in stunning Phang Nga Bay.
You will be shown a variety of edible plants and fruits and will have the opportunity to sample many of them. The photos show just a mere fraction of what is available in the jungle.
Ginger - Etlingera megalocheilos
Luk Wai - Salacca Palm fruit
Ma Fai - Baccauraea ramiflora
There are some very pleasant places to stay in Phang Nga Town. There are cheery guesthouses in town.
One of the many great things about a visit to this area is the food. There are some awesome restaurants in Phang Nga Town. You do not have to eat spicy food if you do not want, but if you would like to try authentic Thai cuisine, you will get it. Either way, you will be stuffed when you leave the table.

Removing Rogue Chinese Firms from US Stock Exchanges
By now you should have chanced upon news that talk about the US Senate passing a bill that allows more transparency on companies listing shares on US stock exchanges.
This move can lead to many Chinese companies from listing or raise money from investors in the US.
What on Earth is Happening?
If you are lost about what on Earth is going on, and what caused the sudden tension, allow us to break it down for you.
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
I know we talked about Chinese “Starbucks” earlier, but let us bring you on a journey to give you a deeper understanding of the situation.
- In March 2019, a bill entitled Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was introduced
- The bill requires companies listed to disclose information on whether they are owned or controlled by a foreign government.
- The bill requires companies listed in the US to have more transparency by making it compulsory to submit an audit
- On top of that, the SEC will have the right to audit the audit.
- If this is not done over a three-year period, the company will be delisted.
This affects Chinese companies even more simply because China does not allow US regulators to access to audit reports for their companies.
So What is this Luckin Coffee Saga About?
Luckin Coffee was considered a huge threat to Starbucks in China. They are really competitive on their pricing and were fighting head-on for the same demographic which Starbucks wants in China.
On top of that, being a homegrown brand fueled by an aggressive plan to grow, people are calling them the next “Starbucks”.
Well, that was until it all turns to sh*t.
On 19 May 2020, Luckin Coffee was delisted from the Nasdaq. Their financial data was inflated.
The sales figure was fabricated by 2.2 billion yuan (S$440 million).
While the bill was proposed in the year 2019, Luckin Coffee’s incident further highlights some of the major loopholes in the US exchanges when it comes to foreign companies.
This, coupled with Trump’s constant trade war with China, might have resulted in a swifter action of passing the bill.
In short, Luckin Coffee sabo sia!
What Does the Passing of this Bill Mean to Singaporean Investors?
The passing of the bill can result in several China companies being forced to delist. There are about 156 Chinese companies that could be affected by this bill include Alibaba, Baidu, Weibo Corporation, etc. These companies have a total market cap of US$1.2 trillion, which is going to be a tricky issue for both the companies and the exchanges.
Investors of these companies might start seeing a declining trend for the stocks they invested in.
While we believe that China will not take this lightly, investors might want to keep a closer look on the news during this period of time.
In the long run, the bill is good in strengthening corporate governance. This can create a better environment for investors on the exchanges.
Looking at the example of Luckin Coffee, the stock price dropped by 32% after a trading halt that lasted for more than a month. It is believed that the stock price will continue its downward trend. We can only imagine the losses some of these investors are taking.

Tupolev Design Bureau has published the description of its new civil supersonic aircraft.
According to senior representative of PJSC Tupolev, Valery Solozobov, in particular, the aircraft will be able to reach the speed from 1,500 to 1,900 km/h at an altitude of 11 km. The take-off weight of the aircraft is 70 tons. It was said that there will be about 30 seats in the cabin.
However, developers still have to work together with leading institutes of Russia to solve the main problem of supersonic aviation - overcoming the sound barrier.
There are two models - with a fixed and variable geometry of the wing. The latter will enhance take off and landing performance. It was reported that the new supersonic aircraft would cost a little more than the subsonic Tupolev-214 - about $28 million.
The last supersonic airliner Tu-144 was decommissioned due to financial problems in the 1980s.
In late January of 2018, Russian President Putin suggested resuming the production of supersonic civil aircraft on the basis of the strategic missile carrier Tu-160.

Variable-volume Closed Loop Dust Collection System at Steinway(ST10817-1)
Steinway & Sons has a mandate to condition designated manufacturing areas for better control of humidity in order to optimize the moisture content of various wood components of the pianos being constructed. Currently they are the demonstration site for Energy Resource Solution’s (ERS’s) Solar Thermal Cooling project, co-funded by NYSERDA. This project impacted the sizing requirements of the Solar Thermal project as the existing constant volume open-loop dust collection system adds considerable cooling/heating loads to the facility by exhausting conditioned air.
The project demonstrated a dust collection system using variable-volume control in combination with a closed-loop (recirculation) system. Steinway replaced the entire Action Department dust collection system (35% of the energy consumption of the existing systems).
Reduced kWh consumption associated with efficient VFD control. Reduced natural gas consumption due to closed-loop recirculation; lower emissions; reduced carbon footprint; improved product quality and productivity.
The system was installed in the Action Department and became operational in late 2008, with debugging and commissioning occurring through the Spring of 2009. The primary benefits of the system are improved dust control, expansion capability, and lower energy consumption ($58,000 per year in electricity and gas savings).

Last year, James Blake watched the Open from home surrounded by his friends who gave him what he really needed, they laughed at him. Yesterday afternoon those friends filled a box in Arthur Ashe Stadium and once again were supporting Blake – loudly.
“It means so much to me to be doing that in front of them,” Blake said of his cheering section. “They’re picking me up now when I’m high, they were picking me up when I was low.”
Whatever he’s done for them “is probably not enough for how much they’ve done for me,” Blake said.
In fact, the whole crowd embraced Blake as a friend, and the homecourt advantage was as palpable as the harshly humid weather.
The 25-year-old American toppled 28-seeded Greg Rusedski of Great Britain, 7-5, 7-6 (3), 6-3 in an opening-round match that was about as tight a battle as a straight-set win can be.
Blake and Rusedski (the 1997 runner-up) have both battled through hard times on their climbs back toward the top of men’s tennis. Yesterday’s win was a big step on Blake’s (currently ranked 49) comeback trail, after missing last year’s Open with an injury and suffering through an illness-plagued year.
Last May he suffered a fractured vertebrae in his neck during a practice session, causing him to miss two months. Then, during the summer, he was stricken with Zoster, an illness affecting hearing and vision, which caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face.
“Everyone was coming into the hospital room saying, ‘It will be all right,’ ” Blake said speaking of his illness when his face was partially paralyzed. “One of my best friends came in and just started laughing at me. That was exactly what I needed.”
Blake, who was born in Yonkers, entered the men’s draw as a wild card (eight entries the USTA chooses) after winning the final U.S. Open Series event last week in New Haven.
“I feel like I’m getting better and playing better every time I step on the court,” Blake said. “I think it’s a lot tougher than people realize to come from such a high [winning last week], such little preparation to come here and play as well as I did today.”
Blake will next face 52nd-ranked Russian Igor Andreev, 22, who beat qualifier Gillies Elseneer. If he wins, it will be his third trip to the third round (2002 and 2003), the deepest he’s been in his five previous Opens.
For Rusedski, Britain’s No. 2 player, it’s another step on what has been a unique road. On March 9, 2004, he was finally cleared by the independent Tennis Anti-Doping Program tribunal of a doping charge that turned out to be, well, dopey.
In January 2004, Rusedski announced he tested positive for nandrolene in July 2003 in Indianapolis. The March 2004 ruling found him not guilty of the offense on the basis that the source of the drug might still be an electrolyte replacement product dispensed by the ATP trainers.
Despite the distribution being stopped in May 2003, the risk of taking the supplements may not have been effectively communicated to Rusedski. The same circumstances had earlier led to Bohdan Ulihrach’s suspension for a nandrolene offense being overturned.)
“Well, I just think it was the injustice,” Rusedski said yesterday of the experience trying to clear his name. “I think it was very unfair. Now we find out it’s all-natural in the body. So it irritates and makes people angry.”
Unlike more recent public steroid debates, professional tennis is serious about its penalties. Players found guilty have to forfeit earnings and multi-year suspensions are strictly enforced.
The accusations hurt Rusedski, who stopped playing for a few months for fear that a guilty verdict would result in him returning any titles and prize money he might win (and to recover from a myriad of injuries).
Yesterday, he took a shot at the ATP – the organization responsible for both giving him the supplement in question and punishing him for it.
“The tour gave me absolutely zero help,” Rusedski said.
Though the experience is in his past, Rusedski clearly still harbors feelings.
“I think it’s an injustice,” he said. “You know, rules for some and rules for others.”

O Rappa is a Multi Latin GRAMMY Nominated Brazilian reggae/rock band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Combining many styles such as rock, reggae, funk, hip hop and samba, O Rappa’s songs contain sharp protests against the social problems in Brazil and the members of the band themselves are supporters of numerous social projects.
In 1993, reggae artist Papa Winnie came to Brazil but had no band to play shows with him. He immediately picked four people: Nelson Meirelles, Marcelo Lobato, Alexandre Menezes and Marcelo Yuka as the band. After Papa Winnie’s shows, the four decided to stay together picking Falcão as the 5th member and vocalist.
In 1994, they released their first album, on Warner, O Rappa. It was initially only known to small groups within the working class suburbs or Rio de Janeiro. In 1996 the album Rappa Mundi was released. Most of the music was a success, especially the cover of “Hey Joe”, a song made famous by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
However it wasn’t until the third album Lado B Lado A (Side B Side A) in 1999, that O Rappa gained widespread fame selling over 150 000 copies of that album. Their film clip for their song Minha Alma (My Soul) was also held in high regard winning many MTV Brasil’s Vídeo Music Awards.
In November 2000, drummer Marcelo Yuka was shot during a robbery. He tried to avoid the assault by slamming his car against the bandits. The incident left him a paraplegic and he was forced to leave the band. He was replaced by Marcelo Lobato.
In August 2001, the group released its first live album, Instinto Coletivo. It featured a couple of tracks recorded in the studio with the participation of Sepultura and Asian Dub Foundation.
On 7 July 2007, O Rappa performed at the Brazilian leg of Live Earth in Rio de Janeiro.
In 2008 they released 7 Vezes(7 times). In 2010, the band launched the live album and the DVD O Rappa Ao Vivo Na Rocinha(Live in Rocinha), which was recorded during a concert at Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro’s largest favela. The album featured the band’s biggest hits as well as many b-side tracks.
Considered by many[who?] as the most iconic and respected contemporary Brazilian band, they’re consistent on their work. Capable of bringing many rhythms together and combining it into unique melodies that are impossible to label. Their rock and reggae influences are clear but other elements added to the melodies give the band the status of pioneers.
On May 3, 2017, the group announces on Facebook that after the tour ends in February 2018, it will pause ‘no return’.

Mad Max Director George Miller Was Crushed by a Bullied Boy’s Story - So He Did Something Unbelievable
After seeing a heartbreaking video of a 9-year-old Indigenous Australian boy bullied because of his dwarfism, director George Miller cast him two films.
The effects of the now-famous video showing 9-year-old Quaden Bayles' heart-wrenching reaction to being bullied because of his dwarfism reverberate, more than two years after his mother, Yarraka Bayles, posted it on Facebook. The highest-profile yet may be the decision by legendary Mad Max director George Miller to cast Quaden in not one but two films.
The boy has a minor role in Three Thousand Years of Longing, the fantasy romance now in theaters, and he will appear in Furiosa, Miller's upcoming prequel to the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road.
“It was good for us and it was good for him,” Miller recently told The Sydney Morning Herald. “And he did such a good job that he’s got a small role in Furiosa.”
Quaden Bayles' Mother Spoke on Behalf of Her Son
A clearly upset Yarraka Bayles speaks over a portion of the six-and-a-half-minute video, uploaded in February 2020. She urges people to be aware of the dangers and sorrows that accompany bullying, and to do what they can to stop it.
"I want people to know – parents, educators, teachers – this is the effect that bullying has," she said. "This is what bullying does. So, can you please educate your children? Your families, your friends?… You wonder why kids are killing themselves?"
The video of Quaden, who was born with achondroplasia, a rare genetic condition that causes dwarfism, gathered 23 million in a matter of weeks. The footage reveals a near-hysterical Quaden pleading that he wants to kill himself to put an end to the abuse.
"I'm going to die right now," he sobs. "Give me a knife, I'm going to kill myself. Give me a knife now so I can stab myself in the heart."
With the viral spread of the video came countless messages of support from people around the world, including a number of celebrities.
Among those sent who Twitter messages to Quaden were the actor Jon Bernthal and superstar Australian actor Hugh Jackman, who attached a short video in which he says, “Quaden, you’re stronger than you know and, no matter what, you’ve got a friend in me.”
However, not all of the responses were positive. One of those, in particular, spurred George Miller to take action in support of the bullied boy.
George Miller Took an Interest in Quaden Bayles' Story
George Miller was moved by the video of Quaden Bayles, of course. But then he was upset to read that Australian newspaper columnist Miranda Devine had suggested Quaden might have been coached by his mother, “to obtain money from donors" as part of a fundraiser established by comedian Brad Williams to send the family to Disneyland.
Quaden’s family filed a defamation lawsuit, which ended in a confidential settlement -- and an apology from Devine. (Nevertheless, false online accusations of a scam persist.) In a postscript to that part of the story, nearly $500,00 was raised in the campaign. However, Quaden’s family declined the trip, and instead donated the money to two charities: Dwarfism Awareness Australia, and the Balunu Healing Foundation, which supports indigenous youth in Australia.
But Miller, who was previously a physician, could tell the heartbreaking video wasn't a performance. “I thought, ‘What the hell would she know about that?’ ” the filmmaker recalled. “That really fired me up.”
With that, he cast Quaden as an extra in Three Thousand Years of Longing, which stars Idris Elba as a djinn who's freed from an antique bottle by a lonely academic (Tilda Swinton). Impressed with the boy's performance, Miller then added him to the cast of Furiosa, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth.
Furiosa began filming in June in Australia. The film opens in May 2024.
Quaden Bayles' Remarkable Story Continues
However, Quaden Bayles' burgeoning film career is only one part of his incredible -- and incredibly uplifting -- journey, that extends well beyond George Miller movies.
In addition to messages of support from the likes of actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mark Hamill, and commentator Megyn Kelly. Closer to Quaden’s home, Australia’s National Rugby League's Indigenous All Stars team invited the boy to join them that in February 2000 as they took the field in an exhibition match against the New Zealand Maori team.
A perusal of his Instagram page reveals Quaden with Justin Bieber, opening a First Nations Fashion and Design runway show, and celebrating his heritage in an incredible photo shoot. That's only for starters, of course.
His story continues, with Quaden bringing more attention to bullying. Children of all ages experience bullying, which has the potential to create heightened sadness, distress and bodily harm, and can lead to lasting effects. Hopefully, it will serve as a reminder for adults to keep up the fight.
And who knows? The day may come when Quaden will win an Academy Award, and celebrate by taking his family to Disneyland.

An unmanned X-37B space plane landed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, wrapping up a record 780 days in orbit.
The mission broke the mysterious plane’s own record by spending more than two years in space.
Altogether, the program, which has at least two of the reusable planes, has logged 2,865 days in space over the course of five missions.
The fifth mission launched on Sept. 7, 2017, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The Air Force plans to launch a sixth X-37B mission sometime in 2020.
The U.S. Air Force’s secret X-37B space plane landed in Florida on Sunday after a record-breaking 2+ years in orbit— Bloomberg TicToc (@tictoc) October 29, 2019
The unpiloted plane was sent to conduct classified technology experiments in space pic.twitter.com/Xf6k0gWByZ
The Mysterious Space Plane X-37B
The Boeing-built space planes resemble a smaller version of NASA’s space shuttles and have a similar reentry trajectory that uses a runway, like the old shuttles. They feature a small payload bay and use a deployable solar array for power.
The 11,000-pound vehicle is about 29 feet long, with a wingspan of just under 15 feet, and was designed to stay in orbit for 270 days.
It was originally a NASA program, with roots in the space agency’s lifting-body research, that ran from 1999 to 2004.
The X-37B is designed to serve as a platform for experiments and to offer insights on transporting satellite sensors and other equipment to and from space.
The X-37B made its first flight in 2010. A second model took off on its first mission in 2011.
Because the program is classified, the Air Force reveals few details about the exact nature of the experiments.
This latest mission hosted the Air Force Research Laboratory Advanced Structurally Embedded Thermal Spreader, an experiment designed to “test experimental electronics and oscillating heat pipe technologies in the long-duration space environment.“.

Pretty much a GOP sweep here, though the problems in Fort Worth and San Antonio may still swing the Lt. Governor race to John Sharp. The results can be found here.
Democrat Chris Bell won the 25th CD, and Henry Cueller is still leading incumbent GOP Rep. Henry Bonilla in the 23rd, though not by as much as he was when I first reported it.
Minority turnout was strong and favored the Democrats as expected.
Exit polling conducted for the Houston Chronicle by the Center for Public Policy at the University of Houston showed Laredo businessman Tony Sanchez's gubernatorial bid successfully energized Latino voters.
In Harris County, Hispanics polled accounted for 14 percent of the local electorate, well over the usual 9 to 10 percent who typically vote. Statewide, UH pollster Richard Murray expected Latino turnout to jump from a 12 percent share to possibly 20 percent.
But in Harris, one of the state's minority centers, more than 54 percent of voters cast ballots for GOP Gov. Rick Perry, with 82 percent of the vote counted. Nearly 52 percent had chosen Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Cornyn over Democratic candidate Ron Kirk.
Of the state's four top races, the only Democrat holding his own in Harris County was former state Comptroller John Sharp. But as returns rolled in, even Sharp slipped increasingly behind Republican David Dewhurst in the close race for lieutenant governor.
Where the Dems failed was with the Anglo vote.
U.S. Senate candidate Ron Kirk, the former mayor of Dallas and an African-American, and gubernatorial candidate Tony Sanchez, a Mexican-American businessman from Laredo, dominated their GOP opponents among black and Hispanic voters Tuesday.
But exit polls in Harris County and early vote returns statewide showed Kirk and Sanchez fell far short of the 35 percent of the Anglo vote that Democratic candidates usually get. Former Gov. Ann Richards won in 1990 with 37 percent of the Anglo vote.
Kirk received about 30 percent of the white vote in Harris County, according to an exit poll conducted for the Houston Chronicle by the University of Houston Center for Public Policy. Sanchez reaped 27 percent.
The two men led their Republican opponents only in predominantly Hispanic South Texas as they lost statewide to Republican Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Senate nominee John Cornyn.
I suppose I shouldn't get too discouraged. This was the first race with nonwhite candidates for Governor and Senate. Race wasn't much of an issue, but let's face it: The first nonstandard candidate has a bigger hurdle to overcome. That's just the way the world is.
The Bush factor didn't help, either. Cornyn remoraed himself to Bush and was swept to victory. Overcoming Bush's incumbency and popularity may have been too much to ask.
I'll give it some more thought later. It's too depressing right now.Posted by Charles Kuffner on November 06, 2002 to Election 2002 | TrackBack

Research from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, has unveiled a more effective method to treat fibromyalgia, a medical condition that causes chronic widespread pain typically accompanied by fatigue and sleep, as well as mood and memory problems.
The trial was conducted by university researcher Dr Ian Gilron and suggests that the combination of pregabalin, an anti-seizure drug, and duloxetine, an antidepressant, can safely improve outcomes in fibromyalgia.
The combination can not only relief the affected person from the chronic pain, but can also improve physical function and overall quality of the patient’s life.
Until now, the two drugs, pregabalin and duloxetine, have been individually proven to treat fibromyalgia pain.
Dr Gilron said: “Previous evidence supports added benefits with some drug combinations in fibromyalgia.
“We are very excited to present the first evidence demonstrating superiority of a duloxetine-pregabalin combination compared to either drug alone.”
The initial idea that Fibromyalgia was a musculoskeletal disorder has been rejected by recent research, suggesting that the condition is caused by a disorder of the central nervous system including the brain and spinal cord.
According to the researchers, fibromyalgia increases painful sensations by affecting the level and activity of brain chemicals that are responsible for processing pain signals.
Dr Gilron added: “The condition affects about 1.5% to 5% of Canadians, and more than twice as many women as men.
“It can have a devastating on the lives of patients and their families. Current treatments for fibromyalgia are either ineffective or intolerable for many patients.”
The current clinical trials, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), have been conducted on combination therapies for chronic pain conditions.
The research demonstrates how the current available treatments have been extensively studied, are well known to health-care providers and can be used in the most effective ways to treat fibromyalgia.

My friends, have you ever worn the Pandora jewelry? If your answer is no, then please have a good look at the following content, may be you will have a different thinking about the life, and even, the Pandora jewelry.
Every women has a dream of luxury jewelry, even though tucked away in their subconscious is an idyllic vision. From another aspect, we see ourselves on a long trip that spans the moment. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. Then I will ask you again, don’ you really want a Pandora jewelry? But uppermost in our minds is the final destination, is why we have to buy Pandora jewelry. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering—waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
When talk about the Pandora jewelry, people always have different views on it. They will say, “When we reach the station, then that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 18.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I have paid off the mortgage!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!” All of these kinds of comments, people who said this always a loser in their own life, they always think too much but do too little. This is not thinker, but a loser.
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. And sooner or later, we must realize what is pandora jewelry and what is the fashion trend. The true joy of life is the trip. The true joy of life is to buy Pandora jewelry. The station is only a dream. But Pandora jewelry is not a dream. It is so authentic and just waiting for you. It constantly outdistances us. It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Just embrace the moment, embrace the Pandora jewelry. People always tell us not to do what and what we should do, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough. Just to face it, face the fashion, face the Pandora, facing with what we should all come ahead of us.
Finally, once more, relish the moment and grasp the Pandora jewelry. The time only has once, and youth is only once too. Just look ahead, so many people are walking so hurriedly, so many worker are fighting for living, so many women are waiting for a better brand of jewelry. Then Pandora is here. It is here not only for you, but for the world. Grasp Pandora, then you grasp the moment.

NEW leaked images claim to show a low-cost iPhone will be coming to the market
A US tech website called Techdy has reportedly got its hands on the new
phone’s plastic casing and front screen assembly.
Techdy claim the early prototype is largely made from plastic and ‘does not
They also say the device has a 4inch screen like an iPhone 5 and is shaped
like Apple’s iPod Touch.
Speculation has been rife about a low cost iPhone after images of its rear
shell in white, red, blue, green and yellow emerged last month.
But in a twist, Techdy have created an Android knock-off called the Basic Bear
and are selling them in five colours for $199 (£134) each.
Chris Chang, editor of M.I.C. Gadget blog, wrote: “When we hold the
budget iPhone in our hands, the plastic chassis does not feel cheap at all.
“Unlike the plastic build quality of the Samsung Galaxy phones, the
plastic material used on the budget iPhone feels more sturdy.”
The budget handset is likely to launch in the autumn, presumably alongside
Apple’s flagship iPhone 5S.
