For Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb, Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan and Rami Malek are back, along with franchise newcomers like a very suave looking Dan Stevens as Sir Lancelot and Rebel Wilson as a British security guard in a nifty hat.
For this third instalment the action moves to London, with Stillers Larry Page and the museum exhibits looking for a way to save the artefact that allows the inanimate to come to life at night. Perhaps theyll manage to find a point in bringing things to the UK in the actual film, but it comes across as a little pointless in the trailer even if the Trafalgar Square lions do come to life.
Take a look at the new full trailer below. The movie will be in cinemas at Christmas.

I believe the company name was a first name than the word "tanks", like "johnstanks.com". Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Distillery effluent is perilous and hazardous to human race by polluting the water bodies and soil. In whole world every year the total production of distillery products is less then the production of distillery effluents. And due to this the ecological balance continuously disturbing and the food web and food chain of organism also ill effected with the toxic pollutants released from distillery effluents in environment. In present time there are lots of microorganism used to bioremediate the pollutants from industries. In this research work we had used the microbial consortium for the bioremediation of distillery effluents. Consortium was made by the white rot fungus (Phanerochaete chrysosporium)MTCC787. which produced maximum levels of ligninolytic enzymes along with isolated organism i.e. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger from distillery effluents. Phanerochaete chrysosporium in respect to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger showed a maximum decolorization zone (31.0 mm) inoculated with brilliant blue dye plates with in 15 days of incubation. It also shows the maximum ligninolytic activity on 13th day in flask studies as compared to other isolates. This WRF was used in combination with the other isolated organism i.e. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger from distillery effluent showed significantly better variations in reducing color (87.8%),Dissolved sulphites (96.8%), COD (60.7%) ,BOD (59.4%) and Sulphates (63.5%), respectively on 15 days of incubation when compared to these organism used alone.

Hurricane season officially starts for the Atlantic Coast June 1, and weather experts predict that the 2013 hurricane season will be more dangerous than normal. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts as many as 20 total named storms, which could include seven to 11 hurricanes and three to six major hurricanes. Accuweather also predicts a worse than normal hurricane season, with 16 tropical storms and eight hurricanes. They predict that four of those will be major hurricanes, and that three of those will make U.S. landfall.
So what can you do? It’s simpler than you may think – Get a kit. Make a plan. These two simple sentences have been used by everyone from the Red Cross and CDC to state and local health departments to encourage everyone to be prepared. Kits help ensure that you can either take shelter safely in your home or evacuate quickly and safely. A plan helps you care for yourself and your loved ones, even your pets and livestock.

This post was originally published at Mind the Science Gap on Nov. 1, 2012.
The e-mails started on Friday. The director of my home county’s Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) sent out a request that all volunteers report their status for the upcoming hurricane. Would we be available in the event that Hurricane Sandy hit Northern Virginia? As the news reports came in and bloggers up and down the eastern seaboard reported what was going on, I couldn’t help but feel like I should be down there. I’ve spent most of my life on the East Coast; many friends and family members were hunkering down and waiting for the storm to pass. Thankfully, everyone I know pulled through safely.
Before I got involved in public health, my mental image of disaster response was a mish-mash of government response and spontaneous volunteers. The images of Hurricane Katrina on TV showed FEMA agents and uniformed National Guardsmen in one clip and college students and church groups in another. However, there is a middle ground – organized groups of people who train to specifically respond to disasters on a volunteer basis. The category of is a broad, and it includes many EMTs, firefighters, response teams, and search and rescue teams that have day jobs and work alongside their full-time colleagues. For the sake of this article, I’m going to focus on the groups that anyone can join regardless of experience. Continue reading

Join the Dutch Resistance with Miep and Jan Gies as they fight against the Nazi occupation of their homeland with courage and strength. Melissa reviews A SMALL LIGHT on Disney Plus
Opening with Miep attempting to smuggle Margot Frank across a checkpoint, A SMALL LIGHT tells the story of Miep Geis. A young woman who agreed to hide the Frank family. Miep Gies was Otto Frank’s Secretary at his company, Opetka, and immediately agreed to hide the family when Otto mentions fearing they will have to go into hiding. Throughout the War, Miep deals with the struggles that come with hiding first seven, then eight, people from the Nazis. From how to feed them without ration cards, hiding what she’s doing from friends and family to the fear that they will get caught. Miep and the other three office workers do what they can to hide the existence of their “friends” from clients, neighbors, and even other employees.
Meanwhile, Miep’s husband, Jan, refuses to be the only one to do something. Jan works with the Resistance, using his job as a social worker to assist them in their activities. He risks his life on several occasions to smuggle children and babies to safety. And he helps in one of their most daring attacks against the Nazis. Together, the duo helps smuggle their Jewish landlady and her grandchildren to safety. All the while hiding a young Dutchman refusing to join the Nazi Party in their home and survive one of the worst winters of the occupation by eating Tulip bulbs for dinner.
Usually, stories involving the Frank Family focus on adapting Anne’s diary and telling the story of what was going on in the Annex. This time, we get to hear the untold story of Miep and learn just what it took to hide eight people for twenty-five months in the attic of the building. While Miep always maintained that she was not a hero for what she did, she was most definitely a hero. Miep’s actions were at great risk to herself. And they took courage and strength. Her story deserves to be told, and after nearly 70 years we finally get to see it.
There are many other heroic stories of the Dutch Resistance, some of which are only recently coming to light. I’d love to see National Geographic adapt another such story, like that of Corrie ten Boom or Janny Brandes-Brilleslijper, who was one of the last to see Anne and Margot alive and briefly appears here. It’s time to shine a light on more of these heroes.
A Small Light has eight episodes and covers the years 1942-1945. And it boasts flashbacks going back to the pre-war years and Meip’s childhood. The title is taken from a quote of Miep’s regarding her actions during the war. I highly recommend this mini-series.
A Small Light is streaming exclusively on Disney Plus now. Subscribe to our newsletter at the top of our homepage to stay up-to-date with all the latest reviews from FUTURE OF THE FORCE.

'As a student of history, I am no pessimist, but regardless of which party/coalitions comes to power on May 23, the space for secularism, pluralism and minority rights has shrunk significantly,' says Mohammad Sajjad.
The reference point for any summation of Muslims under Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi's rule will begin from the Gujarat riots of 2002 when he was chief minister.
It was not only about the massacre, which has been happening in India since long with the culprits going unpunished in most cases, but that no other regime remained so openly unapologetic about it, ever.
Hence, Modi's rise to prime minister in itself was like rubbing salt into the wounds of Muslims. That it was done in the name of 'Vikas' (development), is one of the biggest ironies of the history of the republic of India.
The slogan coined by the BJP in 2014 was 'Sab ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas'. This, quite expectedly, turned out to be quite hollow.
Because not only during the campaign, but also with ominous frequency subsequently, the utterances of the PM, his aide Amit Anilchandra Shah, who is also president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, and of many ministers and legislators, made it amply clear that the regime is anti-Muslim and it consolidates its base on such rhetoric as well as practised realities against Muslims.
The ruling party did not have a single Muslim MP elected to the Lok Sabha. Its minister, Najma Heptullah, even went on to declare that Muslims were not minorities.
As if this was not enough, the UP assembly election results of 2017, and the elevation of a person like Ajay Singh Bisht as chief minister, further demoralised justice-loving people.
The frequency with which Muslims were lynched (not to say of love jihad propaganda and a Ghar Wapsi campaign) -- in most cases, the police extended help to the perpetrators -- and the manner of investigation ensured that the perpetrators remained unscathed.
Jayant Sinha, a Harvard University alumnus, the Hazaribagh MP and a minister in Modi's government, even garlanded accused who were on bail. A responsible, justice-dispensing, political party would have sacked such a minister and replaced him with another candidate in the Hazaribagh Lok Sabha election of 2019.
Terror accused Pragya Ṭhakur being nominated by the BJP to contest the Bhopal Lok Sabha seat reveals a lot about the BJP, if at all there is any secret left.
Earlier, an apparently pro-Muslim party like the Rashtriya Janata Dal protected Yadav perpetrators in the Bhagalpur riots of 1989-1990. But it also did many other things to make itself least unacceptable for Muslims. That, despite such grievances, Muslims kept voting for the RJD en bloc in itself suggests something.
In 1984, anti-Sikh riots took place under the Congress regime. But at least it advanced apologies for its wilful failure in preventing and controlling the violence. Such gestures are certainly insufficient, but the BJP and Modi have not even made them!
The BJP and its other organisations, together called the Sangh Parivar, are said to be harbouring certain kinds of prejudice, and they propagate certain stereotypes about Muslims. These things get reflected in their governance practices.
A political party, in a democratic set-up, does not and cannot blame a particular segment for not voting for it. It has to ask itself, and do the needful, as to why certain groups prefer to stay away from it. Why do certain groups feel scared about certain political parties?
The BJP and the Sangh Parivar brand of nationalism is primarily based on hatred against Muslim minorities. Its ascendancy and landslide victory in 2014 has many reasons. The most important is: It asks for votes based on exclusionary nationalism and is getting the votes.
That the forces of social justice governing many provinces since the 1990s failed on many fronts, leading to the BJP's rise, is just one factor behind its unprecedented rise.
These forces, just like the BJP, believed in historical revenge. They happily ignored governance and development, and the dislocation of pre-eminent social groups was not handled with adequate tact.
Moreover, such professedly secular parties unduly and even outrageously appeased Muslim conservatives and misogynists. This has also contributed to the BJP's rise.
Just like in the professedly secular regimes, inclusion of Arzal (Dalit) Muslims among the scheduled castes remains elusive. Even Dalit civil society, perhaps, does not seem to be eager for such inclusion.
Marginalisation and under-representation of Muslims continue. The Sachar report, the Amitabh Kundu report and other such files remain as neglected as ever.
The manner in which jingoism has become an important factor in the 2019 election, one does not know how things will play out for Muslims after 2019.
Society has been communalised on a huge scale. Many disadvantaged social groups have fed into anti-Muslim hatred.
It is so deep at the social level that even the most informed and vocal segments have not asked the ruling BJP why it does not talk of its own manifesto of 2014, on issues of universal concern such as youth unemployment, economic development, farm distress, the dreaded effects of demonetisation and GST.
In fact, these informed and vocal sections seem to be more ardent supporters of the BJP. Worst of all, a large section of television news channels treat Muslims and other secularists as culprits and fifth columnists.
As a student of history, I am no pessimist, but regardless of which party/coalitions comes to power on May 23, the space for secularism, pluralism and minority rights has shrunk significantly.
It will take longer to build these up even if the BJP, by any chance, is replaced.
All these does not augur well at all for a democracy. Let us hope for the best about the future of India. It has a robust and resilient civilisational character.
On that, we can hope against hope!
Mohammad Sajjad is a professor of history at Aligarh Muslim University.

Here's what to know ahead of the incoming heat wave
With what could be the state's highest temperatures of the summer starting Friday, New London, Norwich and other local towns are issuing safety precautions for residents.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday evening that, starting Friday, an excessive heat warning is in effect for northeastern New Jersey, New York City and the lower Hudson Valley, with a heat advisory in effect for Long Island and southern Connecticut. The agency expanded the excessive heat warning to include all of those areas on Saturday and Sunday, warning of conditions that "can cause illness and death" among at-risk populations, such as the elderly, young children and people with pre-existing health issues.
Western Connecticut State University Chief Meteorologist Gary Lessor said temperatures are forecast to reach up to 95 degrees along the shoreline and 97 degrees inland. The high temperatures coupled with high humidity will make it feel like it's more than 100 degrees.
The scorching heat is expected to cool down Monday with scattered showers, clouds and mid-80 temperatures. However, next weekend is supposed to heat up again.
Extreme humidity levels and hot temperatures have resulted in several towns and cities to open cooling centers. The City of New London announced that the Martin Center at 120 Broad St. will be open as a cooling center from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. New London fire Chief Tom Curcio urges residents to use the cooling centers, or dial 211 for help in finding shelter during the heat wave.
Norwich's Rose City Senior Center at 8 Mahan Drive and the St. Vincent de Paul Place Soup Kitchen at 120 Cliff St. are other available cooling centers. The Senior Center will be opened on Friday from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and the soup kitchen is open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on all days, but closed on Sundays.
With construction on Interstate 395, motorists and workers are urged to stay hydrated and keep cool. Connecticut Department of Transportation spokesman Kevin Nursick said that although none of the construction will be postponed, workers will be given breaks and made aware of heat exhaustion signs.
"This is not the first time, this happens practically every summer," Nursick said. "Our crews are used to dealing with heat in the summer like snow in the winter; it's all about being aware of the conditions and using common sense."
U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is reminding workers of high-temperature dangers, urging employers to allot water breaks every 15 minutes and develop an emergency plan in case of heat-related illnesses.
Members of Ferreira Construction Group working on the corner of Center and Vauxhall streets in New London said they are staying extra hydrated this week to avoid dehydration from the heat.
AAA said call volumes are expected to rise due the extreme heat. The agency suggests that drivers should be prepared for emergency breakdowns by checking car batteries and preparing an emergency kit with water, a first aid kit and jumper cables.
Residents also are encouraged to limit their electricity use during high temperatures. According to Norwich Public Utilities' outreach manager Chris Riley, electricity conservation leads to less danger and fewer outages. Using heat-producing electronics and major appliances, such as dishwashers, before 6 p.m. is discouraged. NPU urges people to consider using a microwave or grill rather than an oven to cook. The utility also recommends running window air conditioning units only when someone is home and setting a central AC system to 73 degrees.
Editor's Note: This version corrects the title of Norwich Public Utilities' outreach manager Chris Riley.

How long can weed seeds stay in your system?
It is often asked how long weed seeds can stay in your system, and the answer may surprise you. While there are many variables at play, such as the type of seed, the method of ingestion, and the individual’s metabolism, the reality is that weed seeds can stay in your system for a very long time.
In fact, weed seeds have been known to show up on drug tests even after months of abstinence. So, if you are worried about a drug test, it is best to err on the side of caution and assume that weed seeds can stay in your system for an extended period of time.
Of course, the length of time that weed seeds stay in your system will also depend on the method of ingestion. If you smoke weed, the seeds will be filtered out by your body’s natural defenses and will be eliminated within a few days. However, if you ingest weed seeds in some other way, such as eating them, they can stay in your digestive system for weeks or even months.
So, if you are wondering how long weed seeds can stay in your system, the answer is that it depends on a variety of factors. However, it is safe to assume that weed seeds can remain in your system for a long time, so it is best to be cautious if you are worried about a drug test.
The science behind weed seed detection
Weed seeds are the tiny, hard seeds of the Cannabis plant. They are what’s left behind after the plant flowers and produces buds. These seeds can be left in the ground, where they will eventually sprout and grow into new Cannabis plants. Or, they can be collected and used to grow new plants.
Weed seeds are very small, and can be difficult to detect. However, there are a few ways to tell if they are present. One way is to look for tiny, dark-colored seeds in the buds of mature Cannabis plants. These seeds are usually about the size of a pinhead, and can be difficult to see with the naked eye. Another way to tell if weed seeds are present is to look for seedlings sprouting up in areas where Cannabis plants are growing. These seedlings are usually much smaller than full-grown plants, and have distinctive, fan-shaped leaves.
If you suspect that weed seeds are present in an area, the best way to confirm their presence is to collect a sample of the soil and have it tested by a professional. This will give you an accurate idea of the level of seed contamination in the area, and will help you to determine the best course of action for dealing with the problem.
How to get rid of weed seeds in your system
Weed seeds can stay in your system for a long time, and they can be difficult to get rid of. Here are some tips on how to rid your body of weed seeds:
1. Drink plenty of fluids.
Water is the best fluid for flushing out your system, so make sure to drink plenty of it. You can also drink herbal teas and juices to help flush out your system.
2. Eat fiber-rich foods.
Fiber helps to move things along in your digestive system, so eating foods that are high in fiber can help to get rid of weed seeds. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
Exercise helps to speed up your metabolism, which can help to get rid of weed seeds. A brisk walk, run, or bike ride are all great options.
4. Sweat it out.
Sauna therapy or steam baths can help to sweat out weed seeds.
5. Try a natural detox.
There are many detoxes available that can help to cleanse your system of weed seeds. Look for a detox that includes plenty of fluids, fiber-rich foods, and exercise.
The risks of having weed seeds in your system
Weed seeds can stay in your system for a long time, and they can be very harmful. There are four main risks of having weed seeds in your system:
1. Weed seeds can give you cancer.
2. Weed seeds can damage your liver.
3. Weed seeds can cause birth defects.
4. Weed seeds can make you infertile.
The long-term effects of weed on your body
The longterm effects of weed on your body are not fully known, but there is some evidence that it can be harmful. Weed can contain many harmful chemicals, including THC, which can stay in your system for weeks or even months after you stop using it. THC can build up in your body and cause problems with your memory, learning, and coordination. It can also make you more anxious, depressed, and paranoid.
There is also some evidence that weed can increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as lung cancer. If you smoke weed regularly, you may also have a higher risk of developing bronchitis and other respiratory problems.
If you’re pregnant, smoking weed can also be harmful to your baby. THC can pass through your body and into your baby’s, and it can affect their development and health.
Overall, the longterm effects of weed are not fully known, but there is some evidence that it can be harmful. If you’re concerned about the effects of weed on your health, it’s best to talk to your doctor.
How long does weed stay in your system?
When it comes to how long weed stays in your system, there are a few things to consider. The first is the method of consumption. Weed can be smoked, eaten, or vaporized, and each method will affect how long the effects last. Generally speaking, smoking weed will produce the shortest-lived high, while eating weed will produce the longest-lived high.
The second thing to consider is the potency of the weed. Stronger weed will usually stay in your system for a longer period of time than weaker weed. This is because it takes your body longer to break down and process the THC.
Finally, the last thing to consider is your own individual metabolism. Everyone metabolizes THC at different rates, so the amount of time that weed stays in your system will vary from person to person.
So, how long does weed stay in your system? Generally speaking, weed will stay in your system for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, these are just general estimates and your experience may vary.
The different types of weed and their effects
Different types of weed have different effects. Some people use weed to relax or get high, while others use it for medicinal purposes.
Indica strains of weed are believed to be more relaxing, while sativa strains are thought to be more energizing. Hybrid strains can have effects that fall somewhere in between.
THC is the main psychoactive compound in weed, and it is responsible for the “high” that people experience. CBD is another important compound in weed, and it is believed to have medicinal properties.
Different strains of weed can have different ratios of THC to CBD, and this can affect the effects that the weed has. Weed with a higher THC content is more likely to make people feel high, while weed with a higher CBD content is more likely to have medicinal effects.
The effects of weed also vary depending on how it is consumed. Smoking weed is the most common way to consume it, but it can also be vaporized, eaten, or used in other ways.
When weed is smoked, the THC is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and it produces its effects within minutes. When weed is eaten, it takes longer for the THC to be absorbed, and the effects may not be felt for an hour or more.
The effects of weed also depend on the person’s tolerance. People who use weed regularly may develop a tolerance to its effects, and they may need to use more weed to achieve the same results.
The effects of weed also vary from person to person. Some people may feel relaxed and happy after using weed, while others may feel anxious or paranoid.
The effects of weed usually last for a few hours, but they can sometimes last for days or weeks.
The dangers of weed addiction
Marijuana addiction is a very real and serious problem. While marijuana may not be as physically addictive as some other drugs, it can be just as hard to quit.
People who are addicted to marijuana may have trouble quitting because:
– They enjoy the high.
– They believe they can’t function without it.
– They are worried about withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms from marijuana can include:
– Trouble sleeping
These symptoms can make it hard to quit, but it is possible to overcome marijuana addiction with the right treatment.
The benefits of quitting weed
Are you thinking about quitting weed? You’re not alone. Many people who use weed want to quit. Some people even try to quit and fail.
But quitting weed is possible. People do it every day. And it can be beneficial in many ways. Here are five benefits of quitting weed.
1. You’ll Save Money
This is probably the most obvious benefit of quitting weed. If you’re no longer buying weed, you’ll have more money in your pocket.
How much money you’ll save depends on how much weed you smoked and how much it cost you. But even if you only smoked a small amount of weed, quitting can still save you a lot of money.
2. You’ll Have More Time
When you’re not high, you’ll have more time to do the things you want to do. This is because being high can take up a lot of time.
If you’re used to smoking weed every day, you might not realize how much time it takes up. But if you quit, you’ll probably be surprised at how much free time you have.
You can use this extra time to do things you enjoy, such as spending time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, or working on personal projects.
3. You’ll Be Healthier
Smoking weed can have negative effects on your health. These effects can include lung damage, memory problems, and anxiety.
Quitting weed can help improve your health in many ways. For example, your lungs will start to heal and your memory may improve.
In addition, quitting can help reduce stress and anxiety. This is because weed can sometimes make these conditions worse.
4. You’ll Be More Productive
If you’re trying to achieve something, such as getting a promotion at work or starting a new business, quitting weed can help you be more productive.
This is because being high can make it difficult to focus and be productive. So if you want to achieve something, it’s often best to quit

There is a new component to the Connecticut and Florida Drivers Licenses – the much touted “Gold Star” two-tiered program which is partially Federally Funded, but all Federally Mandated. Starting October 3rd, residents of Connecticut will be required to provide as many as 6 forms of Identification to get this specially marked State ID (PDF). (No that xerox you took of your face does not count!)
There is an opt out, but it comes with an increasingly steep price:
DMV Commissioner Melody A. Currey said that without the gold star travelers will likely face greater scrutiny at airports and when entering federal buildings. Currey said the DMV is rolling out the new program now because Connecticut is on a six-year license renewal cycle and everyone needs to have a new license before 2017, when the federal regulations go into effect.
“This is a federally mandated program to improve security,” Currey said. “We live next door to New York City and after what happened there I think we need to assure our residents that we are doing everything we can to properly identify people.”
I find this humorous. What type of additional scrutiny are we talking about here? Already passengers enjoy the “after dinner foreplay” without the obligatory 3 course cheap buffet to get into an airport, what’s next – a cavity search because we won’t
wear carry the Federally Funded and Mandated yellow star?
This sounds very, very familiar. Real ID anyone? The Federal Government couldn’t bully enough citizens into the Real ID Act so now state-by-state this will be introduced? Come on, everyone else is doing it! You must not be Patriotic if you question the marking system we have developed!
Here is another little item bothering me from the article:
“We live next door to New York City and after what happened there I think we need to assure our residents that we are doing everything we can to properly identify people.”
Nobody needs to “assure” the residents that living near NYC is an issue. Oh No – ’cause the NYPD – they got themselves a plan or two.
Yesterday NYPD commissioner Kelly blasted all over the press that NYPD could “take out a plane” if needed. I’m thinking “Cool! Now we have militarized the Police in New York. With their honest and upright reputation, I’m bringing popcorn to the nightly news!” Alas, today we find out what those Billions of US Taxpayers dollars have gone for. A 2011 version of Barney Fife leaning out of a helicopter shouldering a .50 cal yelling “I can get’ em Andy! Swear – just a little closer!”.
So over there on the East Coast things seem to be piling up a bit. Something about getting “special patriotic papers” to fly on a plane that just might be in the sites of a .50 cal. What could possibly go wrong?

Lauren Bushnell and New Boyfriend Devin Antin Spotted Vacationing in Hawaii
And just last week, Lo took things with her new man, Devin Antin, to the next level!
Though the couple has been fairly under the radar since they reportedly started hanging out in May, in the last month, they’ve become much more public.
First, the two were caught canoodling on Snapchat during some Fourth of July fireworks.
The Bachelor's Lauren Bushnell Dating Devin Antin After Split From Ben Higgins pic.twitter.com/4v9vDxS9cM— Celebrity News (@celebnews28) July 15, 2017
Not long after, they sat front row at a Dodgers game, where cameras caught the two looking cozy and having a good time together.
Now, they have been spotted on their first couple’s getaway — and it wasn’t any low-key weekend excursion.
For their first trip, Lauren and Devin chose Maui, where TMZ cameras captured them taking a sweet pic at sunset.
According to the site’s sources, the lovebirds were on a week long vacay in the Hawaiian island. That’s basically honeymoon status, right?
Insiders also had some more intel on this elusive love interest, starting with his age and job — 28 years old and a real estate investor.
Definitely age appropriate for the 27-year-old beauty, and considering his flexible hours and shared homebase of L.A., it’s no wonder they’ve progressed quickly.
The sources also confirm what we already knew, which was that they met two years ago before Bachelor 2016 filming, but were strictly friends at the time.
After the lifestyle blogger moved back to La La Land in May, she reconnected with her old pal and it developed into something more. And no, there was no overlap with her relationship with Ben.
Judging by recent social media activity, the lovers’ holiday is over now, as she posted a Snapchat video of the two out to eat in L.A. this week.
The blonde beauty is also back in the gym working on her enviable figure.
Maybe she’s prepping for her next big trip with her handsome fella?
Let’s just hope next time we get some more pics from the pair themselves!

The views above represent products of historic archaeology, showing outlines of buildings in the early years of the Pemaquid settlement.
The views of digs at shell middens above, often a target of archaeologists, provide a view of prehistoric archeological research.
in Maine focuses on two general classes of archaeological sites, based upon their origin. Native Americans created the “prehistoric” archaeological record, and the European Americans created the “historic” archaeological record. This article was adapted from a publication of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission
Maine’s Native Americans left no written records, indeed few lasting records of any kind, before the arrival of Europeans. European explorers in the sixteenth century wrote the first historic record of them, so we refer to the archaeology of Maine’s Native American inhabitants as “prehistoric” archaeology.
The first Native Americans to live in Maine moved from the south or the west about 11,000 years ago. Then the land was recovering from its glaciation, and tundra and open spruce woodland vegetation grew enough to support the large and small game that they hunted (including mastodon and caribou). We call these people Paleo-Indian.
Because of poorly developed late glacial drainage, and perhaps because of major seasonal runoff and occasional catastrophic drainage of huge interior lake basins dammed by ice or glacial till, these people tended to camp on very well drained (sandy) soils away from river valleys.
Between 10,500 and 9,500 years ago, trees (pine, poplar, birch, and oak, with other hardwoods later) covered the Maine landscape, forcing everyone who has resided here since to live and travel along lakes and waterways and otherwise adapt to a dense forest. One example is the proliferation of stone axes and gouges during the Archaic Period (between 10,000 and 3000 years ago), indicating exquisite skill in woodworking, examples of which have not survived in Maine’s acidic soil.
Until 4000 years ago, we have reason to believe that people traveled in dugout canoes on the ocean, on rivers, and on major lakes. Dependence on heavy dugout canoes to some degree limited mobility. Sometime between 4000 and 3500 years ago, the birch bark canoe was developed. Use of such light, back-portable watercraft allowed travel up and down small streams and beaver-flowages, as well as cross-drainage portaging. The birch bark canoe opened up the Maine interior away from major lakes and rivers.
The Ceramic Period in Maine (1000 B.C. to A.D. 1500) is so-named because the state’s Native Americans adopted the use of pottery. Pottery with exterior designs increased the number and stylistic detail of artifacts that we can use to understand the archaeological record. After the first European explorers arrived off the Maine coast in the early 1500s and began trading (the so-called Contact Period), dramatic changes in Native American life occurred, and European written records began.
For most of prehistory, Maine’s Native American population supported itself by hunting, fishing, and gathering in band-organized societies without complex political organization or monumental construction. In southwestern Maine, corn, bean, and squash agriculture was added to an existing hunting and gathering base after about 1000 A.D. without drastic change in socio-political organization and with only subtle changes in the use of the landscape. Maine Native Americans always have been relatively mobile in lifestyle and lived in small groups. The largest and most prominent occupations were multi-seasonal villages of several hundred individuals, from which most of the population would disperse over the landscape at certain seasons.
Thus, in the absence of monumental architecture or permanent villages and towns, we recognize four types of prehistoric archaeological sites: (1) habitation/workshop sites, (2) lithic (stone raw material) quarries, (3) cemeteries, and (4) rock art petroglyphs and pictographs.
Ninety-five percent or more of known prehistoric habitation or workshop sites in Maine are located adjacent to canoe-navigable water (coast, lake, river, stream, swamp) or “fossil” (former) waterways or shorelines of the same types. Shell middens, or heaps, are evidence of prehistoric activity.
Of the remainder, approximately one percent are predictable on highly specialized locations, such as eolian (windblown or dune) sands in the case of Paleo-Indian sites, or tillable, alluvial (river flood sediment) soils in the case of Late Woodland and Early Contact period sites.
One prehistoric camp site has been discovered and excavated on the shore of Aziscohos Lake in Oxford County. The lake’s water level is affected by the Aziscohos Dam at the head of the Magalloway River.
The “Palaeo-American encampment” site was named for its discoverer, Alexandra Morss. The ancient (“palaeo”) site “now occupies an exposed point completely at the mercy of pounding waves and drifting ice clocks,” according to R.M. Gramly who has excavated and reported on it.
The Morss site was apparently selected by its ancient inhabitants for its access to a killing ground where migrating caribou could be intercepted and hunted for their meat for food, bones for tool-making, and fur for clothing. People probably visited this and nearby encampments seasonally, processed the carcasses, and refurbished their arrowheads, spear points, and scraping implements, many of which were found during the excavations.
According to Gramly, the evidence suggests that the Morss site was used in the spring, while the nearby Vail and Adkins sites, which had similar but larger hunting implements, were fall encampments where the caribou harvested had thicker fur and harder bones.
Habitation/workshop sites are found in two major depth categories in Maine: shallowly buried and deeply buried. The majority are shallowly buried on soils derived from glacial till, reworked till, sand, gravel, and silt emplaced by geological processes before 12,000 years ago. In these situations there has been no net accretion of the land surface except by human action, and archaeological matter is found within the top 30 to 40 cm of active soil turnover (by frost and plant growth) on these types of soils. In these situations, which represent more than ninety-five percent of the land surface of Maine, archaeological material is shallowly buried and can still be discovered or destroyed by any process that disturbs the top 40 cm or so of the soil column.
Deeply buried sites occur only in alluvial settings along rivers and streams, where periodic flooding has deposited silt or sand which separates sequential occupations. Such sites can be up to three meters deep. The maximum dimension (length) of archaeological sites range from two meters to 800 meters. The modal average maximum dimension falls around 50 meters.
In 1976 the Maine Historic Preservation Commission began to address archaeological sites of the historic period, complementing the survey programs for prehistoric sites and architectural resources.
One of the first actions in 1976 was to establish survey priorities for the new science of historic archaeology in Maine. The cornerstone of the initiative was the decision that sites of the early colonial period should be the primary focus for identification, evaluation, and protection. This period is subdivided into three phases: Early settlement (1604-1675) , Indian Wars (1676 to early eighteenth century), and Resettlement Period (early to mid-eighteenth century). Simply stated, these sites, such as the Popham Colony and Pemaquid, were recognized as the scarcest, least documented, and most prone to destruction by vandalism, development, and erosion in that they are almost exclusively found on navigable water, either estuarine or marine.
On a secondary level, other sites were also recognized as deserving attention. The Commission determined that sites representing the earliest penetration of European Americans into a given area, regardless of period, are worthy of attention, given their poor documentation, their vulnerability to subsequent expansion of communities, and their data regarding adaptation of new populations to wilderness areas. In addition, sites relating to important Maine events or industries are recognized as important priorities.
By and large the Commission’s principal efforts have addressed the traces of earliest European impact on the Maine landscape.

(Post 206 of 263)
Five years ago today, I got the keys to this house. That marks the longest time I have continuously lived in one home. I technically lived in the RV for just shy of eight years, from late August of 2008 to late June of 2016, but I spent about 18 months of that time away from it (six months in Lethbridge, a year total in Mazatlán, plus most of the summer of 2012 and all that travelling to and from Mexico), so while that does total about 6 years, they weren’t continuous.
I can barely remember those early days, they seem so far away. But I have the odd photo to remind me of just how big and cold and empty the house was at the beginning. Yet, inexplicably, I always knew it was going to be my home.
Making a home hasn’t just been about buying it and beginning to renovate it to my tastes. It’s also been about making a life here. Because I’m such a homebody, I have been very slow to develop routines that will ground me in this part of Mérida, but I’m finally getting there, having settled on my favourite (or at least most convenient) stores and suppliers, having an activity (Pilates) that gets me out of the house regularly, and there’s now, finally, an independently owned coffeeshop on my regular route where they know my name and my order.
I’ve had a lot of milestones in this house — finding and losing Bonita, finding Alma, losing my best friend Bast, jumpstarting my career…
But the most important thing that happened to me in this home was the epiphany I had at the start of the pandemic about needing a home port and Mérida being by far the best place I’ve ever been to live through such a calamity. So while the city isn’t perfect, it has the things that matter, like security, good governance, and a stable, modern infrastructure. And so, I’m happy to be putting down real roots here.

Through his attorney, Former Pres. Donald Trump called U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin’s letter “your latest public relations stunt” and went on to call the upcoming impeachment hearing “this unconstitutional stunt.”
Here is the response from attorney David Schoen.

U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager, wrote to former Pres. Donald Trump Thursday requesting that he provide testimony under oath in regard to the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
“In light of your disputing these factual allegations, I wish to invite you to provide testimony under oath, either by or during the Senate impeachment trial,” Raskin wrote. He was referring to Trump’s legal teams’ answer to the Article of Impeachment, which concluded that Trump “performed admirably in his role as president, at all times doing what he thought was in the best interests of the American people.”
Raskin, of Takoma Park, asked Trump to either provide testimony, including cross-examination, by Feb. 8 and no later than Feb. 11.
“If you decline this invitation, we reserve any and all rights, including the right to establish at trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions (and inaction) on January 6, 2021,” Raskin wrote. He asked for a response by Feb. 5 at 5 p.m.

Have RV Questions? Ask an RV Mechanic Online.
Hi my name is Robert....
IF it is the rear AC and the thermostat runs both front and back it sounds like a problem with the thermistor or sensor that senses the temp for that zone, the sensor will be on a cabinet, and many will have a small slotted plastic cover the thermistor plugs into the control box for the AC unit. So if the thermostat is reading 32 then I suspect the thermistor is bad OR the control box inside # ***** AC unit.
On some thermostats you need to do a reset, not sure if you tried that or not. In oreder to help you further on this I would need the make and model of the thermostat AND roof AC unit. Robert
Hi was just checking in to see if my answer helped? IF you have more questions or concerns please feel free to contact me... Robert

BODIPY, short for boron dipyrrole methylene, is an organic single and double bond compound of interest as a fluorescent dye. BODIPY consists of dipyrrole methylene complexed with a disubstituted boron center (usually BF2). The IUPAC name of the BODIPY core is 4,4-difluoro-4-boron 3a, 4a-diaza-s-indenotetraene. Due to instability, unsubstituted BODIPY dyes were not prepared until 2009.
Figure 1. BODIPY core structure.
BODIPY dyes have been fully studied. Most BODIPY dyes have a small Stokes shift and are relatively chemically inert. Fluorescence is quenched in solution, limiting applications. This problem has been solved by synthesizing an asymmetric boron complex and replacing the fluoro group with a phenyl group. BODIPY dye is famous for its unique small Stokes shift, high, environment-independent fluorescence quantum yield. It is often close to 100% even in water, has clear excitation and emission peaks, and contributes to overall brightness. It has high solubility in many organic solvents. The combination of these qualities makes BODIPY fluorophores promising for imaging applications. In solvents with different polarities, the positions of the absorption and emission bands remain almost unchanged because the dipole moments and transition dipoles are orthogonal to each other.
Figure 2. Crystal structure of phenyl,tetramethyl-substituted BODIPY, highlighting the planarity.
BODIPY is prepared by treating a dipyrromethene precursor with a boron trifluoride etherate in the presence of a tertiary amine. Dipyrrolidone can be obtained from suitable pyrrole by several methods. Usually, one of the α-positions of the pyrrole used is substituted and the other is free. In the presence of TFA, this pyrrole can usually be obtained from Knorr pyrrole synthesis, which is condensed with an aromatic aldehyde to give dipyrrolemethane, which is oxidized to dipyrromethene using a quinone oxidant such as DDQ or p-chlorobenzoyl. Alternatively, dipyrrolidone is prepared by treating pyrrole with an activated carboxylic acid derivative, usually an acid chloride. Asymmetric dipyrrolidone can be obtained by condensing pyrrole with 2-acylpyrrole. Intermediate dipyrrole methane can be isolated and purified, but the separation of dipyrrolidone is often impaired due to its instability.
Figure 3. Synthetic scheme of BODIPY dye.
Structure and reactivity
Due to the high tolerance to pyrrole and aldehyde (or acid chloride) raw materials, BODIPY core has rich chemical composition and various substituents. The nucleus has a form negative charge on the boron atom and a form positive charge on one of the nitrogen atoms. Boron atoms can also be post-functionalized to exchange fluorine atoms for strong nucleophiles, such as lithiated alkynes or aryl species. Using succinimide reagents (such as NCS, NBS, and NIS), the hydrogen atoms at the 2 and 6 positions of the cyclic core can be replaced by halogen atoms, so that the palladium coupling reaction with borate, tin reagents, etc. can be performed Post-functionalization.

By Carrie Ellman-Larsen
I know what I was told. I was told that it was going to be a hard year; a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. I was told that I was going to lose my hair but it would come back and while it did, I’d get to wear cute hairstyles. I was told that I’d lose some energy and might feel sick but once it was done, I’d return back to normal. Normal. That’s a word that I heard a lot referring to what would happen when I finished treatment. I found “normal” to be far from the truth.
I was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer in my right breast and lymph nodes at age 37. My son was 19 months old and we had just weaned from breastfeeding. I was working full time as a teaching artist, my passion, and beginning to consider ways I might advance in my career. Secretly, I was also beginning to think about what life might be like with another child. Originally I had said, “one and done,” but, as Mother Nature tends to do so well, I forgot about the lack of sleep, the spit-up and the aching raw nipples. I remembered the cuddles, the first giggles…the first everything. But when you are diagnosed with cancer, many of your plans for the future get put on hold or changed forever.
I endured my treatment like a trooper. I made jokes, smiled (and cried and threw a few temper tantrums) through the tough days and created a mantra to get me through the hellish days, “a blip in time,” to remind myself that all pain and discomfort would pass. Through my six months of chemotherapy and 15 sessions of radiation, I checked each treatment off my calendar until the end, when my life would go back to normal. I looked forward to spending long days with my son without feeling completely warn out. I was excited to work and not be afraid that my chemo brain would completely derail or ruin me professionally. I wanted to hang out with my friends, drink wine, eat sushi…hell, I just wanted to be able to taste my food again!!!!!! I was excited to not spend time every week at the cancer center and to get back some time for myself. I was ready to look normal again, to not look like a cancer patient and to get my body back.
When you are going through cancer treatment, you are surrounded with support; support from your medical team, family, friends and, if you are lucky like me, colleagues and bosses. But, when treatment ends, a lot of that support goes away. At one point you are seeing your oncologist every 2 or 3 weeks and suddenly, it’s every three months. Of course you can call whenever you need something but, in their eyes, they have done their job. Now your job is to get back to living life.
Or now that your hair has grown back, your colleagues figure that the worst is over and that you are feeling better and can return to work as you did before. What they don’t know is that cancer related fatigue can last for years.
The offers for home cooked meals, laundry help, and childcare also start to dissipate. When treatment ends, so does a lot of the help that came with it.
It wasn’t long after treatment ended that I realized returning back to my normal life was unrealistic. I no longer looked like myself, even with my hair growing back. I developed major body image issues (remember sixth grade people?) because of treatment related weight gain and the whole one boob thing. I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the woman staring back at me. This was disconcerting.
I didn’t feel like myself. I remember one-month post chemo, I tried to take a bike ride for exercise. My husband encouraged me to go for a long ride. I almost didn’t make it home. My body was no longer capable of doing what it had done just six months prior. This included exercise or for daily endurance for things like raising my son, grocery shopping, scrubbing the bathroom…whatever.
I can go on and on about why life wasn’t normal. But I think the hardest thing for me after cancer was dealing with the trauma of what had happened to me. I fought so hard for so long and suddenly, it was over. I didn’t know what to do next. I didn’t know what was supposed to come next. I kept thinking I would feel the same, think the same and look the same as I did before cancer. None of those things happened. Instead, I felt like I was living in a body that wasn’t my own and having thoughts and feelings that were different than what was normal for me.
Depression post-cancer is very common and it was happening to me. I was afraid every day about recurrence. I was afraid every day that I couldn’t live up to everyone’s expectations of me or the expectations I had for myself. And managing post-treatment side effects like lymphedema and fatigue were more difficult than I anticipated.
I don’t write all of this to scare people. I write about it because it is the truth for many of us. I think what is hard is that breast cancer is depicted as this “happy” cancer or “party” cancer. I mean, what other cancer is celebrated with pink feather boas and t-shirts that read, “fight like a girl” or “breast cancer warrior?” We see images all of the time of bald women surrounded by their friends, covered head to toe in pink and smiling and cheering. We hear stories about women who say that cancer was a gift and has changed them for the better. We see these images and hear these stories but that is not everyone’s reality.
Some people hate the color pink (who me?) and don’t feel empowered by pink glitter and cosmopolitans. Some of us don’t like to walk with Komen with every girlfriend we’ve met since Kindergarten. And some of us think cancer was a curse and feel that it didn’t change us for the better. Some of us are angry about what happened to us. Some of us, instead of not sweating the small stuff (we aren’t supposed to sweat the small stuff anymore, we’ve been through worse) feel that each wound, no matter how small, cuts more deeply. And some of us, after cancer, have a hard time.
This is not true for everyone. I have met so many people who have gone back to living their lives and living them well soon after treatment was done. We read about these stories in the papers and the breast cancer websites and blogs all the time. Many of the stories we hear are the ones where there is a happily ever after. But, if you are not living happily ever after, after having cancer…you are not alone.
Here’s what I will say. I am two years post diagnosis. As of just two months ago, I stopped crying every day. I still think about cancer every day but I’m not crying. That’s a big step. I am also finally starting to think about my future and with the help of a therapist, I am defining my new normal. It’s hard work to redefine yourself but I’m finding the effort worth it.
Life after cancer might not be what you expect. Know that whatever you are feeling, thousands of others feel the same way. Know that there’s no right or wrong way to do cancer or to feel after breast cancer. Also know that there is help for you if what you feel isn’t like a “warrior” but like you have been defeated.
You are not alone.
You are not alone.

Your best bet is probably to go to your local game store--they'll have a big pile of lands they use for sealed/draft events, and likely would sell you 20 for pretty cheap.
Otherwise, you can find a lot of options by just searching around. A quick google search showed you can buy packs of 100 lands on Ebay for about $5.00. I am not super fond of using Ebay to purchase Magic cards, but, considering lands are not overly high value, I doubt you would have anyone counterfeiting them.

I doubt you would have anyone counterfeiting them.
It takes like $1 to make a half-decent proxy that would pass a cursory inspection. That's WAY more than a basic land is worth. If you do find a proxied Mountain , it's honestly probably worth more than a legitimate one.
I seem to recall WotC actually selling land packs themselves, but that was a while back and I don't think they do it anymore. LGS is the way to go for sure.
May 12, 2021 3:50 p.m.
It's a it overkill but you'll never need to buy lands again land station
You could also buy a deck builder's toolkit or older fatpacks/bundles come with 20 of each land

Six yachts sank, another remained afloat but was declared a total loss and about 12 more were damaged in a fire that swept through a private marina at Shelter Bay, a gated community near LaConner, Washington Friday night. Preliminary estimates indicated that the financial loss would exceed $1 million.
No one was injured.
Officials believe the fire started on one yacht and burned through its mooring lines. It drifted into boats nearby and the fire spread rapidly.
The marina moors about 300 boats. Most of the boat owners live in homes around the boat basin, which opens into the Swinomish Channel. Several residents launched small craft and pulled some yachts away from the fire. Area fire departments sent trucks and water tankers. The nearby city of Anacortes sent its fireboat.
The blaze erupted about 4pm and burned until after 6.
The Coast Guard sent crews to begin an investigation. The state Department of Ecology sent teams to deal with fuel in the water.
Recovery of the sunken vessels was to begin Saturday.

Jalibert replaces Thomas in France squad for Six Nations finale
Issued on: Modified:
Paris (AFP) –
Fly-half Matthieu Jalibert has replaced injured winger Teddy Thomas in France's squad for Saturday's potential Six Nations title decider against Ireland, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) announced.
The 27-year-old scored les Bleus' fifth try in last Saturday's victory over Wales and will be "unavailable for an unknown length of time" with a hamstring problem, the FFR said Tuesday.
Bordeaux-Begles' Jalibert, 21, withdrew from the squad two weeks ago due to an unspecified medical reason but media reports claimed he had tested positive for coronavirus.
Uncapped Gabin Villiere and Arthur Retiere are the other wingers in coach Fabien Galthie's set-up.
Galthie could also move centre Gael Fickou to the flank and bring Arthur Vincent into midfield as was the case for two matches before the Six Nations was re-scheduled after the Covid-19 outbreak.

Draw an oval for the head and overall body guidelines with simple lines as we did a similar depiction for armor drawing. Step 2: Draw a ball in the left hand with the circle, draw the torso and the neck.
Basketball. Ties are somewhat rare in basketball due to the high-scoring nature of the game: if the score is tied at the end of regulation, the rules provide that as many extra periods as necessary will be played until one side has a higher score. If a game is non-competitive (such as an exhibition game), a draw may be declared if the scores are tied at the end of regulation.

If I wasn't a 49ers fan I have to say I'd be throwing down heavy on the Jacksonville Jaguars at this point. The 49ers-Jaguars line has opened with the 49ers as a 3 point favorite. As we've discussed before, the home team automatically gets 3 points. So this sort of means bookies are thinking the two teams are on relatively equal footing.
Personally I think this is a very winnable game, but I also have reached a point where I really don't know what 49ers team will show up. Will the bend but don't break defense learn to tackle before Sunday, or will Maurice Jones-Drew bounce off would-be tacklers like a pinball? The Jaguars have one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL (#1 according to FO as of last week) and the 49ers defense has been inconsistent with the running backs. If the team can't contain MJD, it could be a long day.
As for recent trends for both teams:
- Jacksonville is 2-6 straight up in its last 8 games on the road
- The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Jacksonville's last 8 games on the road
- San Francisco is 2-2-2 against the spread in its last 6 games
- San Francisco is 1-5 straight up in its last 6 games

Kodak announced that it would eliminate as many as 6,000 jobs, in an effort to control costs. Kodak is based in Rochester where most of the job cuts will be made. Part of Kodak's struggle can be explained by the general economic downturn, however the shift to digital photography has been especially damaging. Kodak is attempting to adjust its cost structures and branch out into the health imaging business.

A team from Loughborough University is to lead a research project on how the ResilienceDirect network has been used in the response to Covid-19.
It has been awarded £108,000 by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to examine how the network has been used by local resilience forums (LRFs) and the lessons for supporting responses to any future pandemic.
ResilienceDirect is an online private network with around 80,000 registered users, created as a result of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and under the Civil Contingencies Secretariat in the Cabinet Office – which supports civil protection practitioners in working together across geographical and organisational boundaries.
The project, scheduled to run for 12 months, will focus on five LRFs and the findings circulated as best practice documents.
Dr Chris Zebrowski of Loughborough University’s School of Social Sciences and Humanities said: “This project will provide valuable insights into how technology is being used at the local level to address coordination problems within emergency responses.
“We are delighted to be conducting research that will help our emergency services to perform their invaluable work in responding to Covid-19.”
Luana Avagliano, dead of ResilienceDirect, added: “Anything that we can learn and implement about the impact of future pandemics is crucial in supporting the safety of UK communities whilst trying to minimise the loss of life.”

Andrew Tate trollings Dua Lipa, the pop star by posting a video edited of him flirting. Tate got into a heated argument with an online activist over what a woman was. Tate began to mock the activists as the argument went on by tweeting he was a woman.
He also changed his Twitter bio so that it read The Most Googled Woman in the World. This was hilarious. He then went on to post a video showing Dua Lipa blinking back at him.
Tate wrote , “Dua Lipa likes girls.” in an attempt to mock the singer.
Tate had previously mentioned Lipa as his celebrity crush in an interview. Tate said that he liked Lipa’s Albanian heritage and wanted to have children with her.
He said: “I watched a Dua Lipa clip a long time back. She was performing a traditional Albanian dancing in Albania. She could make me strong half-Albanian men – perhaps I would choose her. But I don’t think she is a feminist. If I spoke to him more than two minute, I’d probably leave.”
“Top G” still hasn’t moved on from Dua Lipa and would probably love to meet her someday. If they ever get together, it will be very interesting.
Andrew Tate is accused of raping an unnamed woman in 2014. The victim shares her side of the story
Andrew Tate is once again embroiled in controversy after a British woman claimed Andrew Tate choked and threatened her. The woman said that Tate met her in 2014 when she was only 20 years old. Consensual sexual encounters turned violent.
“He put his hands on my throat and strangled. The woman told BBC that it was initially a little confusing. Tate allegedly threatened to kill her and abused her violently until the next morning. Tate, however, has denied these allegations and said it is a lie spread by the mainstream media.
She says: “He kept saying, ‘I own me, you are mine’.” She says that he said horrible things and was aggressive throughout the entire night.


Five aid workers, who were in Afghanistan working on behalf of the International Committee of the Red Cross, were abducted in the Herat province on Saturday, a spokesperson said. The Red Cross is working on securing their release.
According to Marek Resich, a spokesperson for the ICRC, the aid workers had been traveling by road on Friday night when they were abducted by a local armed group.
The aid workers were delivering sheep to local villages when they were stopped by the gunmen, said Raouf Ahmadi, a police spokesman in Herat province. He said the gunmen took both the workers and the sheep, which could indicate that the abduction was part of a robbery as opposed to a militant attack.
Resich confirmed that the ICRC is "currently in contact at various levels to secure the safe release of its team."

text: Last week I bought a large batch of mushrooms. Some I sauted in garlic oil and ate them with dal, roti and some I kept aside to make soup. Last day I was in no mood of making any typical fried snacks, then making soup appears to be the easiest one. From morning the day was cloudy, so I wanted to eat something spicy. I picked hot and sour soup from the list, it's healthy and also spicy. I have added chicken, egg and lots of vegetables in the soup, it turned out super delicious.

text: This was such a quaint friendly campsite. The woman here was by far the sweetest. They sell ice cream treats and ice too, with pristine vault toilets and sinks. We had such a nice quiet stay. The tent sites are all very close together but because it was empty, we had a wonderfully quiet stay camped between some trees. And yes fire rings were amazing considering the no fire restrictions all around the area. It’s about an hour from North Rim Grand Canyon which is highly recommended. We went out onto Bright angel point. There were other camp sites further in toward the rim, but they didn’t come up on the Dyrt so not sure their availability. Overall it was a great spot.

Live coverage of the annual Trooping the Colour parade to mark the
official birthday of HM the Queen, from St James's Park in London.
Runtime: 150 minutes
Trooping the Colour - Trooping the Colour - Netflix
Trooping the Colour is a ceremony performed by regiments of the British
and Commonwealth armies. It has been a tradition of British infantry
regiments since the 17th century, although the roots go back much
earlier. On battlefields, a regiment's colours, or flags, were used as
rallying points. Consequently, regiments would have their ensigns slowly
march with their colours between the soldiers' ranks to enable soldiers
to recognise their regiments' colours. Since 1748, Trooping the Colour
has also marked the official birthday of the British sovereign. It is
held in London annually on a Saturday in June on Horse Guards Parade by
St. James's Park, and coincides with the publication of the Birthday
Honours List. Among the audience are the Royal Family, invited guests,
ticket holders and the general public. The ceremony is broadcast live by
the BBC within the UK and is also shown in Germany and Belgium, and
since 2018, has been streamed online to viewers all over the world, via
the Time magazine YouTube channel and the Facebook page of the British
newspaper The Telegraph, with the Associated Press providing live video
coverage of the event. The Queen travels down the Mall from Buckingham
Palace in a royal procession with a sovereign's escort of Household
Cavalry (mounted troops or horse guards). After receiving a royal
salute, she inspects her troops of the Household Division, both foot
guards and horse guards, and the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery.
Each year, one of the foot-guards regiments is selected to troop its
colour through the ranks of guards. Then the entire Household Division
assembly conducts a march past the Queen, who receives a salute from the
saluting base. Parading with its guns, the King's Troop takes precedence
as the mounted troops perform a walk-march and trot-past. The music is
provided by the massed bands of the foot guards and the mounted Band of
the Household Cavalry, together with a Corps of Drums, and occasionally
pipers, totalling approximately 400 musicians. Returning to Buckingham
Palace, the Queen watches a further march-past from outside the gates.
Following a 41-gun salute by the King's Troop in Green Park, she leads
the Royal Family on to the palace balcony for a Royal Air Force flypast.
Trooping the Colour - March on - Netflix
A detail of guardsmen bearing marker flags marches on, to mark the
positions of Nos. 1-6 Guards. (These marker flags are the respective
company colours from each regiment.) Preceded by their regimental bands,
Nos. 1-6 Guards march into position. No. 1 Guard is “Escort for the
Colour.” Nos. 1-5 Guards align in two ranks on the west side of the
parade ground facing Horse Guards Building. No. 6 Guard lines up
perpendicular to them on the north side, thus making an “L” shape. The
massed bands are on the south side, by the gardens of 10 Downing Street.
Adjacent to No. 6 Guard is the Colour Party made up of 3 soldiers. A
snare drummer joins them in the march on. As the party takes its place
the drummer marches off and the colour's casing is removed, revealing
the colour to be trooped. The King's Troop, the Household Cavalry, and
their mounted band form up behind Nos. 1-5 Guards. With the foot guards
in their home service order and the mounted band in state dress uniform,
the assembled ranks of Household Division make a colourful spectacle.
Guards half-companies line up on the road to Horse Guards Parade to
provide security to the Royal Family that will arrive later and to the
marching and mounted contingents.

Arsenal will not be able to get to defend their title any further ir win their 15th FA Cup this year courtesy of a Gabriel own goal.
The game today proved that matches aren’t played on paper because Arsenal -the team that was largely tipped to win- was lethargic and lost the game.
Southampton dominated for most of the game even though they saw less of the ball due to the fact that they were more effective with the ball.
They unfortunately got undone by their own defender in the 24th minute when Gabriel scored an own goal.
As if the Gabriel own goal was not enoug to Arsenal fans it is worth noting that the cross that cause the own goal was from a former Spurs player Walker-Peters.
One of Southampton’s chances came in the 50th minute after Forster’s pass found Ings whose chance came off the upright. This chance caused a scare when it came off Leno’s back and almost sneaked in to goal.
Nketiah came close to earning an equaliser in the 67t minute when he got into space but his toe poke was deflected by Stephens and tipped away for a corner by the Saint’s goalie.
This elimination means Arsenal needs to win the Europa league or finish in the top 7 places in order to play European football.


There is good news and bad news from the AWEA’s WINDPOWER 2014. The bad news is that the PTC remains in limbo, and there could be more people here, although the crowd was acceptable. The good news is that the companies here were glad to talk about the new products and services they have developed.
The show floor is bit smaller than Chicago last year but the excitement of a good wind show is palpable. Here’s what I encountered from 10 to 5.
Bearing lubrication is relatively simple compared to gear lubrication. The sliding surfaces of gear teeth quickly wipe lube off them. Kluber Lubrication has developed a grease that can be applied with a lubrication system. That’s no big deal until you consider that the grease can be applied at -30C.
A software system capable of predicting turbine problems, can tell with a good degree of accuracy when a population of turbines will begin having trouble and with some degree of accuracy, it will point out the most likely few. Company CEO Ed Wagner says the systems can model materials to the surface, the substructure, and down to the grain structure. The database and algorithms were built from years of working with military aircraft bearings and that let the company build a knowledge base on material and wear surfaces, such as bearings, races, and gears.
At Timken’s booth, Nathan Glessner, VP H&N Electric introduced the company as now part of Timken. The company provides up tower services such as gearbox change outs, gearbox repairs, and oil changes. The company also serves as a distributor for Mersen components, mostly slip rings, and slip ring brushes.
The big news from large battery-system manufacturer A123 Systems is that the company is being bought by NEC Corp. The company manufacturers lithium-ion batteries into containers with controls for frequency control of utility grids.
S&C Electric showed off some tried and true wind farm products. One, a 34.5kV switch, is narrow enough to fit inside a tower door and mount at the base of a turbine. Previously, a turbine’s high voltage switch was pad mounted in a separate housing. David Veach, Renewable Energy & Energy Storage Application Director with the company gave us a tour of their booth that we recorded and will be available for viewing shortly. Another switchgear product viewed was a Vista substation for about a 90 MW wind farm. The substation switch gear can be assembled and tested in the factory and then shipped to the site, mounted, and wired. Previously, such substations were larger and had to be assembled on site which consumed time and cost.
Boulder Wind Power, a developer of a direct drive generators, showed an expanded product line. The company has developed a 5-MW generator that weights about 36 tons, a diet of about 12 tons over conventional direct drive designs. The news that CEO Andris Cukurs revealed dealt with a generator design that provided a dc output. The advantages are that the electronic controls are less expensive and readily available. Better yet, the efficiency of the output power is over 99%.
Campbell Scientific displayed some of the company’s remote monitoring instruments. Marketing Manager Matt Perry suggested that the company’s sonic point-location wind sensor was the most accurate on the market. Other equipment on display included visibility sensors and two versions of lidar wind sensors. One is intended to do the work of a met mast (by pointing up) and another is intended for nacelle mounting, to look in front of a rotor to sense incoming wind direction, and mostly to correct yaw pointing. A two degree correction can yield $1 million in revenue for a large wind farm.
Like other firms here, Romax Technology continues to expand its product portfolio. The company started with gearbox design services, graduated to condition monitoring, and most recently displayed a multi-channel data logger light enough to take up tower. Engineering Manager Chris Halse and Head of Monitoring John Coultate say it would be left there to monitor a running turbine for short periods, say 24 hours. When the data is retrieved, it can be analyzed for pending trouble spots. The product, no formal name yet, is aimed at wind farms without more formal condition monitoring equipment.
