More than two-thirds (678 per cent) of single parents – overwhelmingly women – are now in employment, up from 438 per cent just over 20 years ago by comparison, the percentage of women without children, or who have grown-up children, and have jobs sits at just one point higher (686 per cent.

Large Scale Colorado Springs And Pueblo Drug Trafficking Organization Dismantled
Meth Seized Was Over 99 Percent Pure
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. - On April 14 and 15, federal agents led by the DEA, working closely with local and state law enforcement, arrested 15 people from Southern Colorado who had been named in four separate indictments by a federal grand jury in Denver for drug trafficking offenses. The arrests took place without incident. Most of the arrested defendants made their initial appearances in U.S. District Court in Denver on Friday, where they were advised of the charges pending against them and the penalties associated with those charges. Prior to last week’s raid, eight defendants were arrested earlier based on two federal indictments and are already in custody. Three additional indicted defendants are fugitives. In addition, the State of Colorado arrested and is prosecuting 10 people, bringing the total number of people involved in this Southern Colorado drug organization to 36.
During the course of the 14-month investigation, agents and officers seized over 38 pounds of methamphetamine, most of which was more than 99 percent pure. They also seized 13 kilograms of cocaine, 4 ounces of heroin, $506,500 in U.S. currency, and other assets. During the take down, agents and officers found and seized an additional 10 to 12 pounds of methamphetamine, along with 5 guns, roughly $33,000 in cash, and a number of vehicles. The grand total amount of assets seized during the investigation is over $610,000.
One defendant, Lucio Vazquez, is named in four separate indictments.
While agents and officers were conducting the drug trafficking organization, law enforcement in Colorado became aware that three aliens were allegedly transporting and harboring illegal aliens. The information was provided to ICE/HSI, who conducted an investigation and referred the case to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona, which filed conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal alien charges.
“Thanks to the hard work of these dedicated agents and officers, a major drug distribution organization transporting drugs to be sold in Pueblo and Colorado Springs has been dismantled. This result demonstrates the outstanding results law enforcement can achieve by working together,” said U.S. Attorney John Walsh.
“This investigation highlights the cooperation of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies working together to bring to justice those criminal organizations in the Colorado Springs area,” said DEA Acting Special Agent in Charge Kevin Merrill. “The public expects law enforcement to work together, which is exactly what we will continue to do. Those criminal organizations who continue to operate in our state should be concerned.”
“This investigation demonstrates how narcotics traffickers routinely expand their illegal enterprises to multiple areas,” said David Marwell, Special Agent in Charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) Homeland Security (HSI) in Denver. “Our DEA law enforcement partners recognized the alien-smuggling component to their already-existing narcotics investigation and contact our local ICE/HSI office to pursue this added criminal angle. Thanks to the DEA’s commitment to teamwork, the citizens in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo communities received the direct benefits of local, state, and federal law enforcement working together to dismantle this complex criminal organization.”
“This is the type of cooperation and collaboration that the public has come to expect from our law enforcement agencies,” said Luis Velez, Interim Pueblo Police Chief. “When we are able to leverage the resources of each individual agency, the outcomes are usually outstanding. That is exactly what happened in this case. Officers from a variety of local, state and federal agencies were able to come together to put a stop to yet another drug trafficking organization.”
“I’m honored to have been able to dedicate a deputy to the DEA task force,” said Pueblo Sheriff Kirk Taylor. “His participation in helping remove large quantities of drugs off our streets is an excellent example of cooperation between local and federal law enforcement.”
“The Colorado Springs Police Department values its collaboration with our partners, including the District Attorney’s office, the DEA and our multi-agency task forces,” said Colorado Springs Police Chief Richard Myers. “When we work seamlessly, united by our mission, great things are accomplished. The resolution of this major case is a sterling example of the power of collaboration.”
If convicted, all but two of the defendants face not less than 10 and not more than life in federal prison for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine. The other two face not more than five years, and up to 40 years, for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute less than 500 grams of methamphetamine.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement (DEA), the Fourth Judicial District Attorney’s Office, Immigration and Customs (ICE), U.S. Marshals Service, HIDTA, Colorado Springs Police Department, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, Pueblo Police Department, Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado State Patrol, Monument Police Department, Elbert County Sheriff’s Office, Aurora Police Department, DEA - Colorado Springs, DEA - Las Vegas, and DEA - Los Angeles.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys with the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task (OCDETF) - Assistant U.S. Attorneys Susan “Zeke” Knox and Barbara Skalla.
The charges contained in the indictments are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Welcome back! Today's card is simple but it's a beauty! It's a CASE from Angie Juda. I added an extra layer and made Very Vanilla on Very Vanilla, stamped the leaves from Fabulous Florets in Crumb Cake 3 x's without reinking so I got different shades. I ran this 1/4 sheet through the Framed Tulips embossing folder, sprayed it with a bit of Champagne Shimmer Paint to add a little sparkle. The sentiment is from On The Grow, stamped in Soft Suede. I used dimensionals when I added this to my Very Vanilla card base. The ribbon is the 3/8" Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon.
I love how this card turned out! Hope you like it too! See you tomorrow.

Why is it that the dumber the film, the longer the episode? Is there some sort of correlation? The answer of course, is maybe. Apologies in advance are required, as are warnings to the faint of heart. In keeping with the subject matter, the chaps down four bottles of wine (and that is just during the show) and look at John Landis' 1978 frathouse, guitar smashing, toilet exploding, JD swigging, Oatis Day dancin', horse murdering, toga wearing monolith ANIMAL HOUSE. In what is easily our most shameful episode yet (and hopefully ever) we plug some other 'casts, sing ( I sh#t you not), answer some reader mail and pretty much do whatever seemed like a good idea at the time.

Apparently, there is something exotic about the Indian gods and goddesses. As a result, images of our worshipped gods and deities keep cropping up in different places around the world. However, a pub in New York has crossed all limits.
Ankita Mishra, an Indian American visited a pub named the House Of Yes located in Bushwick in New York. The pub is one of the most popular pubs in the state and is known for its peppy, quirky and wild ambience.
The pub’s description reads, “Weird. Wild. Wonderful. A performance fueled night club and creative venue programmed with eclectic events and fabulous dance parties.” And true to its name, the pub had a surprise in store for Ankita.
She visited the pub bathroom to find that the doors were covered in posters of Hindu gods and goddesses starting from Ganesh and Kali to Shiva. Ankita described her experience in a blog post, where she couldn’t help but express her shock and disappointment.
She mentioned in her post that being a queer brown woman living in New York, she was used to being bullied and discriminated against. But this time she could no longer remain silent. She wrote a detailed letter to the pub manager.
She wrote, “I was not proud on Saturday night. I was there with a group that had ordered a bottle service table to the side of the bar and because of the high price they were paying, I had the privilege of accessing the private bathroom behind the DJ booth by the stage. You know the one. At first when I reached for toilet paper from the dispenser, it did not register that I was looking at Mahadev. Slowly I raised my eyes to take in the room and noticed all of them- Ganesha, Saraswati, Brahma, Shiva, Radha and Krishna, Lakshmi, and inexplicably right above the toilet, Kali.”
She also mentioned, “ Cleanliness and purity are obsessive rules in an Indian household. Around Indian deities it is a very basic form of respect, one that you learn as a child. You cannot present a flower to a god after having smelled it- you cannot wear shoes in a temple. Peeing, shitting, throwing up and all other activities that happen in nightclub bathrooms would also go under the category of uncleanliness.”
Making fun of someone’s religion or culture is just not done, guys. You may have your own set of values, but we have our own. It seems that a truly secular world is an ideological concept, which may never come true. However, Ankita’s words in this case did have an impact as the owner of the nightclub wrote back to her, apologized and decided to have the washrooms redesigned.

Un Petit Christmas Ditty
Alternative Title :'The Thought-Fox, Revisited by a Drunk Woman'
I sit, fingers poised above keys, shivering in my conservatory freeze
Un petit Christmas ditty, please, would end my struggles, creative pleas
Despite the lack of fuss or noise – the house is quiet of voice and boys
The words just do not want to come. Unpressed, keys don’t know joy or fun
Don’t make you laugh or make you think or make you feel or make you drink.
Drink. Aha, the very thing. Perhaps un petit verre de quelque chose
May tease out words, make them flow like harmonies across staves from treble to bass.
(SCRABBLE TO BACK OF DRINKS CUPBOARD, FOLLOWED BY DASH TO CAKE TIN IN KITCHEN, RETURN TO ORTHOPAEDIC COMPUTER CHAIR, CLIMB BACK ON)
I sit, fingers poised above keys, shivering less, crumbs on my knees
Sod the computer, let’s get a pen. It might work better. I’ll try again.
Unstraddle heights off computer chair. Straighten my knees, then prepare
For inspiration - now in ink. Damn, the taps on in the sink.
Down the hall and turn it off. Whisky and lemon for my cough
Might make me feel more like myself. The honey’s on the highest shelf.
A stool would help. Put down the glass. Could be dangerous. Start to laugh.
(SCRABBLE ONCE MORE IN BACK OF DRINKS CUPBOARD, REACH FOR PRINGLES BESIDE THE CEREAL, DECIDE IT’S NOT SAFE ON STOOL SO SIT ON BREAKFAST BAR)
Feel unsteady, where’s my pen? I need it for the, the , the thing again?
What’s it called? A Christmas ditty. Stupid idea. Pretty shitty
Thing to get people to do at this time of year when we’re all so witty. Wizzy. Busy.
I canna write and I canna think. I canna rhyme. My pens in the sink
And I’m over here on the breakfast bar.
And now I hear my husband’s car.
The dog starts barking. He’s in the door.
( I think I’ll hide down on the floor).
What are you doing Yvonney, he says?
I squint up pleasantly and show him my vest. My lest. My list.
Are you pissed? He gives me his hand. I show him my list. He can’t understand
Why the house is upside down, with bottles,Pringles, cake , lemon, honey and biros lying everywhere
Or why Youtube forlornly performs carols to the empty orthopaedic chair.
Then he gets it. What a man. 27 years married. He DOES understand.
It’s the writing group Christmas task.
What are you trying to write this year Yvonney, he asks?by Yvonne Stevenson-Robb

For years hip hop fans have grieved at the loss of Biggie Smalls. Many have wondered and even offered their own understanding of what transpired that fateful night. We can now gain a little insight into the mind of the alleged killer of Biggie following an interview with former Death Row Records artist Danny Boy.
Danny Boy recently sat down with The Art of Dialogue, where he discussed Biggie’s murder in 1997 as well as some of the circumstances leading up to the day. He spoke at length about the suspected triggerman Poochie and the vibe he gave off whenever he and Danny Boy were together.
The discussion was prompted by a question from the host, in which he asked, “You do know Poochie is the guy that people claim killed Biggie? And they said Suge Knight was behind Poochie killing Biggie.”
Danny Boy admitted that he had heard the rumor in the past and added that he wouldn’t put it past Poochie since he had an eerie personality, and many times the vibe he gave off was that of a shooter. “He looked like that man,” he added.
The “Come when I Call” rapper did not go as far as to say that he was sure that Poochie pulled the trigger, but he revealed that in his mind, he fit the profile.
“He definitely was a killer. He looked like it. He acted like it when it he came in the room. It was something about him. He wasn’t a tall man. He wasn’t big, nothing like that. To me he looked like that wasn’t the one to f*ck with,” he said.
Danny explained that while he had seen many of his friends beating people up somehow when Poochie came around, the vibe got even more ominous, probably because of his overly serious demeanor.
“I don’t think he gave a f*ck about music. Like he looked like one of those people who don’t even listen to music. It wasn’t a nice feeling when he came around for me,” he continued.
He went on to explain that they were cordial with each other but that he was not one of his favorite people to be around. Danny Boy added that Poochie would also speak with him, but he never felt quite comfortable because he always felt nervous when he came around. In fact, he said whenever he came around, he felt nervous and not “super comfortable.”
Biggie Smalls, whose real name is Christopher Wallace, was shot and killed on March 9, 1997. It is believed that his killer was Wardell “Poochie” Fouse, a Bloods gang member and Suge Knight‘s associate.
He’s believed to have shot Biggie while he was visiting Los Angeles. Six years later, in 2003, Poochie was himself shot and killed. Poochie died after he was shot in the back while riding his motorcycle in Compton. His murder allegedly came as a result of in-fighting between the Mob Pirus, who were Suge’s Blood associates, and a rival Blood gang known as the Fruit Town Pirus.
Danny Boy is not the only one who believes that Poochie may be the man behind the trigger that night, as Mob James also shared a similar sentiment with VLAD TV during an interview.
In part of that interview, he said, “Everybody in their right mind that was there knows what happened, but ain’t nobody going to say, ‘Poochie, Poochie, Poochie. Now that he’s dead, everybody can speak on it and whatever now. I’m surprised they haven’t came and said they know who did it.”
Biggie Smalls murder case remains unsolved.

Every once in awhile as I’m working, I'll catch what I consider Joni Mitchell's signature song on Pandora . . . The Circle Game. 1970. Ladies of the Canyon. Whenever I hear it, I'm thankful for her prescient lyrics, because it seems that no matter what stage of life I'm in, it always resonates. Today, at 70, Joni continues to develop her talents, as she walks around her own circle of life. New Boxed Set: Love Has Many Faces; A Quartet, A Ballet Waiting to Be Danced. New dreams.
In my teens, the world was easier to grasp. Go to college, find a job, fall in love, marry; everything seemed so much simpler. "Promises of someday" made dreams seem not only hopeful, but attainable. And when things didn't go right, hey, there was always time to right them. New dreams, new promises.
When my children were young the lyrics made me a little sad; the way Joni described the passage of time in her own life made me wish I could keep all three of my daughters small forever, although I knew it couldn't happen. Cartwheels do turn to carwheels very, very quickly, but when you're in that stage of life, you're too busy to notice how fast those years fly by.
Fast forward a few decades (ahem), and life is still full of the ups, the downs, the questions, the answers. At this stage, for me anyway, transition to a new path is fraught with decisions. Scary decisions. As a painter, should I stay on course, and continue doing what has made me happy for the last 20 years, or switch gears and try something new? When is staying safe important, and when is it time to make a change? As a freelance textile designer back in the 70's, it was a different world. A world when art was created only by hand. No computer generated art. No programs to learn. No files to create. And no one to see your work unless it was door-to door. All that's changed. Not to mention the hoards of younger, talented and more technically advanced artists who get it all. Understandably, it comes easy because technology has been their world for years. A bit daunting to try to catch up and get with the program. But . . . if life is a circle, then what the heck? Yes. A new venture is still exciting, and still fills me with hope. Eternal optimist I guess. Or just dumb enough not to know what I don't know.
We're captive on the carousel of time.
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.
Moving On. Growing Up. Looking Ahead. All good. Thanks Joni…..

text: The estate of Domaine Weinbach is settled at the foot of the majestic hill of Schlossberg and it is surrounded by roses and vineyards. The history of this estate goes back up 1612, when some friars decided to build a monastery, which was confiscated and sold during the French Revolution. In 1898, the Faller brothers bought and transformed it in a place where they expressed their passion for Alsace wines. The name itself Domaine Weinbach derives from a small water course that crosses the winery, while Weinbach was the original name of the old monastery. Today the property includes 27 hectares and it is managed by Faller’s family, because they have bequeathed from generation to generation their wines passion. The vineyards have some important geological features and they benefit by privileged exhibitions in the Kaysersberg valley. From these vineyards derives a huge choice of wines, which are characterized by elegance and grace.

BusinessF1 was founded by Tom Rubython in 2002. Rubython was the former editor of EuroBusiness magazine and F1 Magazine which he founded in partnership with Bernie Ecclestone. Rubython met Ecclestone in the mid-nineties when he first started writing about the business of Formula One in BusinessAge and Sunday Business. Ecclestone quickly recognised that he was the first journalist who really understood the business side of Formula One and although he did not always like what was written, he respected the style and the potential need. At the time, Rubython was the only journalist writing about the business. Rubython is a very experienced editor who has had a long career in magazines, including publishing Marketeer, Amusement Business, LeisureWeek, BusinessAge, Sunday Business, EuroBusiness, Formula 1 Magazine, BusinessF1 and SportsPro. He has written four books about Formula One; The Life of Senna, a biography of Ayrton Senna, Shunt, the story of James Hunt and two non-fiction motorsport books called In The Name Of Glory and Fatal Weekend. He has also written biographies of actor, Richard Burton, singer, Barry White and financier, Jesse Livermore.
Tom Rubython published the first issue of BusinessF1 in March 2003. It was an immediate success, generating over 1,000 subscriptions before launch and quickly building to an audited circulation of over 7,000 copies a month. It also proved very popular with business advertisers. Bernie Ecclestone recognised the benefits of the magazine and was broadly supportive. In contrast Max Mosley, the then President of the FIA (the world governing body of motorsport) was not enamoured by BusinessF1’s behind the scenes in- depth reporting and detailed coverage of the sport. He initially took a position against the magazine, denying access to the Formula One paddock and applied other restrictive sanctions.
Despite this handicap, the magazine was able to prosper. Eventually there was a rapprochement between Mosley and BusinessF1, paddock access was restored and he and Rubython forgot their differences. Mosley came to accept that BusinessF1, with its unrivalled coverage of sponsorship and business, was good for the sport. It is a fact that Formula One’s sponsorship income exploded over the next five years, reaching nearly $1.5 billion a year. Unsurprisingly, the magazine became widely read across the whole of the sports business world. BusinessF1 was published continuously every month until December 2007 when the magazine found itself covering the wider sports world more frequently, to the extent that eventually many of its readers were from different sports. It naturally evolved and changed its name to SportsPro magazine in January 2008. The magazine’s popularity continued as SportsPro and a year later Tom Rubython sold the magazine to Henley Media Group who continue to publish the magazine and have grown the business into a multimedia group with activities including conferences and exhibitions, generating sales of over $6 million a year.
For five years, between 2003 and 2007, BusinessF1 was the monthly staple of the Formula one community and the wider world of motor sport. It was a truly global publication, circulating in every country of the world. It wrapped an authoritative tone in a unique and amusing style, which made it required reading. As a result, more or less every significant decision maker in the global sports community became a subscriber and its influence extended far outside of its core market of Formula One.
Past becomes the future
Now the past has caught up with the future and BusinessF1 is being published again. It is back as the monthly staple of the Formula One community with all the old style it had in the past but now bigger and better. But some things will never change. Facts and attention to details remain the overriding editorial philosophy of BusinessF1. It is reporting without a preconceived agenda of the highest standard, hence the quality of the story telling is consistently high. BusinessF1 writers seek to tell the story behind the story. If it’s good, the good is reported but if it is bad, then we don’t shy away from reporting the bad. There is simply no other magazine like it for providing up-to-date honest analysis. People may not always like elements of it but they always respect it because it is truly independent, with no ties to any organisations working within motor sport meaning the Editor has total authority over what is written in the magazine. BusinessF1 does not employ freelancers and its writers work exclusively for the magazine full time. They have a long-standing reputation of understanding the business of the Formula One industry better than any of the other writers working in Formula One today.
News is primarily delivered in 10 pages every month and has two formats. Every issue contains at least eight pages of exclusive, behind-the- scenes business news which the magazine is famous for. Over 80 per cent of the stories are wholly original sourced from deep sources we have embedded in most of the significant organisations in Formula One. We rarely report from press releases. Almost all of the news stories are agenda-setting, which is embedded in the magazine’s culture.
Insight stories are the news behind the news in longer format - the really detailed analysis of the main news stories of the month. They are regarded as the ultimate analysis of what is really going on in Formula One. The BusinessF1 Insight writers regularly make predictive assessments of the repercussions of what goes on today, and what it could mean in five or even ten years’ time. The stories are a mixture of issues, information and statistics, with measurements of performance readers will not find elsewhere. Every fact is checked and correlated against reality.
Features in BusinessF1 are the highlight of the magazine. Features are written with a lighter touch, to bring true insight into a subject. The features are rarely critical but for the most part seek to inform. It is the only magazine where you meet the real characters who work behind the scenes, such as the managers, sponsors or agents. The magazine is light on graphs and pie-charts but is full of tables and graphical analysis, the result of copious research, the quality of which often surprises the editor himself.the month.

The stories are a mixture of issues, information and statistics, with measurements of performance readers will not find elsewhere. Every fact is checked and correlated against reality.
BusinessF1 is famous for its columnists who display a humorous and subversive style. The magazine has five regular columns and each have a distinctive style. Paddock Patter is the Editor’s own column, featuring the serious matters of moment. Notes & Observations wryly reflects the action and movement behind the scenes of current issues. Premature Facts looks ahead and predicts what might be happening tomorrow - Its famous strapline is ‘A rumour is just a premature fact’ and it lives up to that mission statement.
Jottings by The Scribbler is one of the oldest columns in the motoring press, having appeared in many magazines over the years. The Scribbler, now in his late seventies, is a columnist, without equal, writing juicy items of social gossip that would otherwise not see the light of day. Almost every major Formula One personality gets a gentle roasting from The Scribbler at least once a year. Finally, in 2021 we are introducing Lewis Webster, as a new columnist. Webster tells it like it is in his own unrivalled ‘crusty’ style. Webster’s writing style is in the finest tradition of BusinessF1’s columnists.
BusinessF1 is the only public source of snap, accurate reporting of TV ratings and attendance figures at races during the Formula One season. At season end, it provides a thorough analysis of all the figures, and in a series of Special Reports through the year it provides an ongoing historical analysis and listing of all the relevant statistics and numbers governing Formula One. The Business of Grand Prix Special Report every March was famous for its detailed analysis, accounting for every dollar of sponsorship revenue in Formula One.
BusinessF1’s Paddock Gallery often runs to six pages or more. It publishes over 1,000 photographs a year at every social event in Formula One that matters. There are pages from the Paddock Club at every Grand Prix and the paddock itself. Most of the photos are taken by BusinessF1’s chief photographer, Graham Fudger, who is himself well-known in Formula One.
BusinessF1 publishes many Special Reports, focusing on matters of the moment in the Formula One business community. Each issue contains at least one special report and sometimes two. The reports are a serious editorial project, with in depth independent analysis of the subject. They often extend to 32 pages or more. The magazine has four core Special Reports, which are always published on the same anniversary. The Business of Grand Prix is a financial preview of the coming season, published every March. The Power List is the 150 most powerful people in Formula One, published every July. The Season Review is published every December and the News Review is published in January. There are also two tent pole issues every year. The issue prior to the Monaco Grand Prix is always the biggest issue of the year and the special issue published for the Monaco Yacht Show in September is also an important issue.
Other special reports always published in the same issue every year are Driver Management (April), Sponsorship Agencies (May), Corporate Aviation (July) and Aerodynamics (November). There are bi-annual Special reports on other slower moving subjects such as Trackside Advertising and Circuit Design.
Finally, there are also Special Reports which focus on the individual countries that stage Grand Prix races. On occasions, the magazine will also cover other related sports such as Nascar, MotoGP and the America’s Cup.
The positive impact of a Formula One race on a host venue cannot be underestimated. Every year BusinessF1 writers examine the nature of this impact in a series of special Country Reports. Each report is more than 30 pages and focuses on all aspects of running a Grand Prix and operating a Formula One circuit, emphasising the business relationship between circuits and surrounding businesses, and the impact a race has on tourism. The reports include profile and interviews with the key people in each country, including title sponsors, race promoters, marketing directors, circuit partners and the associated businesses that benefit when the Formula One circus arrives in town. In 2006 alone, BusinessF1 carried extensive country reports from Bahrain, Turkey and Malaysia.

More and more women who are pregnant experience pre or post-natal blues/depression. Why is this so?
In the TCM perspective, this is due to serious deficiency of blood from the spleen.
Pregnancy takes a huge toll on ladies' health, the baby derive all nutrients to grow from the mother. The TCM perspectives is such that the spleen makes blood for the whole body, if the spleen is impaired = blood making will hit a terrible issue.
And during the delivery of the baby, different blood quantity is lost.
If the mother is already weak from spleen impairment, then child delivery would worsen the issue.
This is how pre or post natal blues/depression comes about.
Some women felt more anxiety or poor mood or worries after child delivery, it's the same blood issue due to seriously impaired spleen functions.
The way to get around this and regain former sanity, is to engage in nutritious diet of suitable animal protein, carbs and fats for the body to regain its full functions. Then comes the psychological rebuilding.
To think less, worry less and breath.
I've helped a few mothers on these, in a full dietary strategy + Qigong + psychological rebuilding to great success. Many are consistent daily nutritious soups for different body constitutions, and some require TCM herbal interventions.
But the psychological part is the most arduous to achieve, and the strongly determined mothers can overcome it.
I really admire their determination to regain health for their kids and family. It's entirely their credit to recover, I'm just there to open the doors for them.
I've nothing but applause for them. Great work, mothers! You all are the best!

My first little tribute to Keith Flint. Truly shocked to hear the sad news today. Music of our generation, this Essex boy and his friends brought dance music into the mainstream whilst still maintaining kudos and respect from original ravers. They changed the landscape of dance music forever and myself and my friend were hoping to travel to Germany to see them this year. More needs to be done to address mental health issues, government cuts to metal health services, welfare sanctions and traumatising PIP assessments has only made the problem much, much worse.
RIP Keith, you will live on through your music

Self- concept is how a consumer perceives themselves and their behavior in the market industry, mainly the attitude they hold towards themselves. It is known to be an unconscious component that is always present when the customer comes one on one with the industry. They are divided into six parts. The actual self, ideal self, social self, ideal social self, expected self, and situational self.
The actual self is the person’s basic self-concept of themselves. Essentially, it means what a person actually thinks of themselves. The perception of a person’s actual self can be made of different attributes like their attractiveness, intelligence, and athleticism. All the self- describing attributes that a human knows about themselves include characteristics from evaluations they heard from other people to their self-evaluations. For example, if a person thinks that they are always on time, meaning that punctuality is a part of their actual self.
The ideal self is how a human would like to perceive themselves. They make these perceptions from what they learned from life experiences, what they admire from their role models, and some demands they learn from society in general. For example, a person’s parents are highly respected scientists; the person knows they have to have a high-paying job. Their ideal self might not like science and would much rather prefer to be a police officer to help people out on one. If a person’s actual self is entirely different from their ideal self, then they might feel like a failure and be dissatisfied with their life.
A person’s social self is how a human thinks other perceive them. They make these perceptions from interacting and observing people, responding to people’s opinions about oneself, and other social interactions. It works as the object of their own reflection; they reflect about themselves basing it on how they think other humans see them. If a child is told they are a “bad student” and treated like a “bad student” by their relatives and parents, then that will lead the child to believe that they are a “bad student.”
The ideal social self is what a person would like other people to perceive them. Most of the time, it is a perfect image that a human creates for oneself; sometimes, the ideal self might not be realistic. Customers usually prefer a brand that is perceived by them to be more rather than less corresponding to their ideal social self. For example, a person might be lazy and dull but might imagine themselves to be energetic and outgoing.
The expected self is an image of self that lands between the ideal and actual self. It’s how consumers expect to see themselves at a specific time in their lives. These are traits they believe are their obligation to possess. If a company wants to target consumers to start working out, the marketer can use the expected self to bring in customers who would like to improve their lifestyles through fitness. The expected self is one of the essential factor’s marketers can use to promote their products.
Lastly is the situational self, which is how people see their self-image in a specific situation. This is one of the most critical elements when it comes to brand choice. For example, if the person has an important dinner to attend, they might have an image in their mind that will lead them to buy a particular type of attire like a suit or a dress. One brand might influence their opinion by having more options or better quality.
I have been a part of the marketing team of a local fitness studio for years, and self-concept is used everywhere in their marketing strategies. First, we use our expected self to promote our products and services, and a person might even be getting ready for an important event in their life, which situational self comes in. A person’s ideal social self is fit, and they might want to do the same. They are all factors that can bring in customers if marketed the right way. Self-concept leads brands to a successful marketing campaign and surpassing their competitors in their market share.

Under the proposed regulation, all ingredients in the nanoscale should be labelled as such, in both cosmetics and sunscreen products; which the body refers to as EU-style labelling.
“All ingredients present in the form of nanomaterials shall be clearly indicated in the list of ingredients. The names of such ingredients shall be followed by the word ‘nano’ in brackets,” the body said.
Changes should come into force on the 11 July 2013, mirroring the date specified in the EU regulation, it added.
Consumers can make informed choices
According to the association, enforcing the labelling of nanomaterials recognises consumers’ desire to know more about the products they use.
Accord claims that labelling nanomaterials will:
- provide Australian consumers with the information they need to make informed choices
- provide certainty and transparency within the Australian sunscreen an cosmetic market
- and achieve harmonisation with the EU and other markets which are likely to adopt similar regulation in the future.
Confident of safety
However, the body was keen to point out that it saw no danger in the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics.
“Our industry is confident in the safety of cosmetics and sunscreen products, including the limited number that use nanomaterials,” it said in a statement.
In addition, Accord referred to campaigns by activist groups such as Friends of the Earth as scaremongering.
“…Accord rejects Friends of the Earth’s ongoing [anti-nanotechnology] claims as ideologically-driven scaremongering and contrary to the weight of scientific evidence supporting safety to the public”.
Avoiding regulatory delays
The Australian body first mooted the changes in June this year when it released a paper detailing the proposal and it was presented to government at a meeting held with Health Minister Roxon on June 16.
However, the ongoing delays that led to the formation of the coalition government were of concern to Accord, which felt regulatory changes could be further delayed.
“Given this, Accord is of the view that the Australian Government should commence a project to develop this policy proposal,” it said in a statement.

Thirty-five years ago, Robert Dewar, with MBA in hand, left his job at Procter & Gamble for a better-paying position in Ford’s transmission plant in Sharonville, Ohio. He became a line supervisor for “department 258,” where torque converters were assembled. For this task, he had 39 minutes of instruction, most of it focused on “4600s,” the forms he was to submit for every real or perceived misdeed of his fabulously angry workers.
A Savage Factory is the tale of exactly that—the savage but darkly funny war waged between the hourly line workers, the factory foremen, management, the UAW, and the “Detroit Mafia”—a.k.a. the “suits from Dearborn.”
On one shift, Dewar recalls running out of turbines for torque converters, and his boss’s solution was to install turbines that quality control had rejected. “I was watching the birth of 375 defective Ford vehicles,” Dewar writes. He describes a company-sponsored “Let’s Talk” program that ended when “all of the suggestion boxes were removed when someone stuffed a Ziploc bag full of human excrement in one of the slots.”
The plant was a mosh pit of egos, jealousies, and hatreds. Dewar, now 65, was eventually laid off, later deriving some satisfaction when NHTSA decreed that every C4 three-speed automatic transmission that Sharonville manufactured during his six-year tenure was defective.
This is Dewar’s first book, and it might have benefited from sharper editing. Even so, it moves along at a frantic clip, chronicling one managerial train wreck after another. If One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest had taken place in a plant in the late ’70s, it would be A Savage Factory. Highly recommended.

Health Department Recommends Social Distancing To Prevent Coronavirus
Stephanie Ler, RS, MPH, Richland County Health Department Public Information Officer
On Thursday, March 12, Governor Steve Bullock declared a state of emergency in Montana. “The emergency order puts our state on the highest alert — recognizing, though, that now still is the time to continue to plan, not panic,” Bullock said in a news conference.
The Health Department is recommending that people begin practicing social distancing. Social distancing is a prevention effort where community members physically separate from each other to prevent or slow the spread of disease. It has been shown that social distancing in the early stages of an outbreak is effective in preventing or slowing the spread of communicable disease.
The Health Department is recommending that groups consider cancelling or postponing large group gatherings. Many organizations have already taken these precautions by cancelling scheduled events and meetings. If your group chooses to continue to meet during this time, group members should be considerate of protecting themselves and others. This means staying home when you are sick, avoiding handshakes and other close contact, and washing hands frequently.
Monitor yourself for symptoms of illness. If you develop a fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath, call your healthcare provider. If you do not have a provider, call the Sidney Health Center Walk-In Clinic at 406-488-3963.

While an exciting variety of new startups and 3D printers are stepping up and being presented to the cutting edge technology scene this year, 2015 seems to be the year of the new 3D scanner, putting it affordably into the hands, laps–and laptops–of users greedily snapping up the innovations which allow them to do so much more right from home or even just from their smartphones, whether indoors or out.
3D Systems, ever at the forefront, and certainly never lagging behind in the daily headlines regarding new and improved technology, is announcing today that they’ll be offering a software update to the Sense Plus software for their popular Sense 3D scanner, which is the only full-color consumer 3D scanner offering the largest scan-size range.
- Printing real-world objects in 3D.
While affordability and ease are essential and heavily focused on right now with 3D scanning, users should also be thrilled to hear that they will now experience scan capture speed tripling what they were used to previously, at 25 frames per second. The experience will be smoother all around, with motion tracking improved substantially as well.
Sense is a comprehensive scanning solution that’s certainly attractive for the 3D design and 3D printing community at a price of $399, which is obviously putting forth enormous affordability compared to what has been available just in the past few years. As hobbyists began to see the need for affordable 3D scanners, producing their own with open-source designs, many of the main manufacturers also hopped on board with new innovations, features, and best of all – affordability.
Not only is pricing better, but suddenly consumers have extreme desktop and smartphone accessibility with 3D scanning, allowing them to 3D scan—from wherever, at whim—and then zip right over to their 3D printers and produce 3D printed models and objects, as well as sending scanned images directly to 3D printing service bureaus if they don’t have access to a printer or they have other printing equipment or material needs.
With Sense, 3DS offers the user the ability to:
- Go from physical object back to the digital platform, and back to 3D printing, as scans are 3D print ready and can be uploaded to the cloud.
- Use the fastest scanning equipment available at this quality and price level.
- Perform mobile, handheld scans, and enjoy compatibility with the Microsoft SurfaceTM Pro 2 tablet.
- Experience a streamlined, enhanced experienced with better tracking.
- Perform scanning in a wide range of sizes from small to large, to enormous—with scans of ten feet tall and wide possible.
- Use precision focus with automatic object recognition.
- Use a full-featured editing program that’s also intuitive and user-friendly.
- Mash it up by merging scans in Cubify Sculpt, enjoying the opportunity to get even more creative by importing and combining scans.
- Enjoy 12 different options for language.
Have you been using the Sense 3D scanner and will you be downloading the free update from Cubify? Are there other features you hope to see included further down the line? Tell us your thoughts in the Sense 3D Scanner forum at 3DPB.com.

Calls for Marches Against the Coup
TEGUCIGALPA - The National Front of People's
Resistance of Honduras (FNRP) called for two
marches on January 27th to reject the
swearing in of the next president,
conservative Porfirio Lobo.
FNRP released a report that points out that
the demonstrations will be held in the
capital and northern city of San Pedro Sula
to reject "the continuation of the
dictatorship of the oligarchy."
Right wing member of the National Party,
Lobo was declared winner of the questionable
elections of last November 29 in which
results are unknown by the vast alliance of
popular and political forces.
Both Lobo and his organization that has
shared power with the liberals during the
past decades, supported the military coup of
June 28 that overthrew the constitutional
president, Manuel Zelaya.
In a brief report the Front points out that
another purpose of the demonstrations is to
insist on the demand of a national
constituent assembly, popular and
democratic, to restore Honduras.
The note adds that the march in the capital
will take off from the National Teaching
University and will count on the
participation of members of the Resistance
in the capital and central, eastern and
southern departments of the country.
In the San Pedro Sula march, about 250
kilometers from Tegucigalpa will also count
on the inhabitants of the western, northern
and Atlantic departments according to the
The Front was created in the wake of the
military coup and was made up of labor
unions and farmers, students and human
rights organizations, and other groups
Since then the FNRP leads the resistance to
the coup regime with daily demonstrations,
the majority brutally repressed by the army
and police, demanding restitution of
The declaration of the state of siege and
suspension of constitutional guarantees last
September forced these forces to concentrate
their demonstrations in the barrios to make
military and police repression more
The first national massive march this year
was in January 7 in the capital followed two
days later by another in San Pedro Sula
strongly repressed by anti riot troops.
Leaders of the Front last weekend held a
national conference in the central city of
Jiguatepeque that concluded with a decision
to continue united democratic struggle to
transform the nation.

Digital banking is becoming more popular in Nigeria as operators use the best technology tools to solve Nigerians’ problems with transactions and hire people who are good with technology. The Central Bank of Nigeria has approved licencing digital payment platforms to offer microfinance banking and Point of Sale (PoS) services in Nigeria. This is to help more people get access to financial services.
Fintech platforms are becoming more like banks.
Even though these platforms are only online, they are everywhere and have helped Nigerians solve a lot of financial problems recently.
The banks are part of the fintech ecosystem, but they do the same thing as traditional banks that are located in real places. A report says that these fintech platforms work under different types of licences and offer a variety of financial services through mobile apps and other channels. As of February 2023, the CBN database shows that about 894 companies have been given licences to be microfinance banks.
But only a few companies that are fully digital can be called “digital banks.” A few digital banks are the only ones that haven’t gotten licences from the CBN to offer PoS services.
Some of the names of the banks are:
Kuda Bank releases SofPoS, which lets users accept card payments from their phones and puts an end to free transfers.
Nigeria’s first digital bank, Kuda, has added a new feature to its Kuda Business app. This feature includes Sales Mode, Kuda Payroll, and business registration, according to our news source.
TechPoint said that the Nigerian neo bank is about to launch a feature called “SoftPoS,” which will let users accept cardless payments from smartphones. SoftPoS lets customers accept contactless cards and turn their smartphones or tablets into a secure payment terminal or Point of Sale. (PoS). Also, Nigerians have started looking for alternatives as fintech firms have taken over the ecosystem and made it better. This is because bank customers have been having trouble lately and can’t use mobile apps and other digital touchpoints.
Many Nigerians have been helped by these licenced mobile operators during a time when transactions were failing like never before.


Associate Professor of Public Policy Sarah Reber co-authored an opinion piece in the Hill urging Congress to quickly pass a major funding package to enable schools to resume in-person instruction. As fall approaches, many health experts are calling for schools to reopen to support student learning and mental health and allow parents to return to work. With decreased funding from state tax revenue, school districts must rely on federal funding to cover the costs of new technology and infrastructure to ensure teacher and student health and safety. Reber and co-author Nora Gordon of Georgetown University recommended a relief plan that distributes funds to states based on their levels of child poverty and child population. “To avoid the dangers of social isolation for the well-being of children, schools need another federal relief package that is big enough, flexible enough and soon enough to allow them to open this fall,” they wrote.
Distinguished Research Professor of Urban Planning Donald Shoup authored a Bloomberg article recommending the implementation of congestion pricing in Los Angeles. In 2021, Metro will launch a pre-Olympics pilot program consisting of one or two high-occupancy-vehicle toll lanes adjacent to four or five free lanes in each direction. While some are opposed to the idea of paying to drive on highways, Shoup argued that drivers are already paying for congestion in wasted time. The congestion pricing system will allow toll lane users to travel faster and save time and will also benefit public transit riders who will no longer be trapped in buses “immobilized by the congestion that more affluent drivers create.” By reducing fuel consumption, air pollution and carbon emissions and making public transit faster and more reliable, “congestion pricing can improve life for most people who own a car and for all people who do not,” Shoup concluded.
Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies Director Evelyn Blumenberg and Deputy Director Madeline Brozen co-authored an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times about the accessibility of Los Angeles’ COVID-19 testing sites, most of which are drive-through locations. Public health officials have stressed the importance of testing to combat the pandemic’s spread, but the locations of testing sites are inaccessible for many Angelenos who don’t own cars. Many neighborhoods do not have a walk-in location within walking distance, and borrowing a car or taking public transit to a testing location increases risk of exposure. “If you live in a household without a car in Los Angeles County, you are much more likely to be poor, 65 or older, Black, a recent immigrant, living with a disability or uninsured,” they explained. “These same households also face higher risks of contracting COVID-19, so making sure they have access to testing is paramount.”
A KQED podcast series on how American workers have lost benefits, power and protections over the last few decades spoke with Urban Planning Professor Chris Tilly, an authority on labor economics. Tilly explained the phenomenon of the “fissured workplace,” where full-time employees work side by side with part-timers, temps, gig workers and contractors. Some classes of workers receive no health coverage, overtime pay, worker’s compensation or other protections, increasing company profits while breaking up worker solidarity. Tilly described a job he held in the late 1970s at a hospital that directly employed not just health-care professionals, but cafeteria staff, custodians and maintenance workers. Now, such positions would be outsourced at many companies, a trend that emerged not from new laws or regulations but from “an experimentation process,” he said. By testing existing legal boundaries, Tilly said, managers and executives discovered that “we could get away with this, there’s nothing stopping us from doing this.” Tilly’s segment begins at minute 23:35.
Associate Professor of Public Policy Chris Zepeda-Millán was featured in a New York Times article about the role that Latinos have taken on in the Black Lives Matter movement. Both Black and Latino communities have been affected by police violence and systemic racism, even though the national focus of ongoing protests has chiefly been about the impact on Black Americans and the ways white Americans are responding to it. A recent poll by the New York Times and Siena College found that 21% of Hispanic voters said they had participated in Black Lives Matter protests, nearly identical to the 22% of Black voters who said they had done so. “Many Latino youth, they are making the connection, they are pressing their families to have difficult conversations,” Zepeda-Millán explained. For many liberal Latino activists, the Black Lives Matter movement and current wave of protests serve as a model and an inspiration.
An American Economic Association profile of Associate Professor Randall Akee traces his path to becoming a leading researcher of underrepresented groups and an advocate for bringing new perspectives to the field of economics. Akee’s interest in economics was piqued by a class at his all-Native-Hawaiian high school in the sugarcane plantation town where he grew up. He went on to earn economics degrees from Dartmouth, Yale and Harvard, and now focuses his research on Native and Indigenous populations as part of the public policy and American Indian studies faculty at UCLA. Akee recently helped launch the Association for Economic Research of Indigenous Peoples to advance the study of underrepresented groups within the field of economics. “One of the things I’m interested in is opening the door for more underrepresented minorities in the economics profession,” he said, noting that the economics of race or ethnicity is rarely accepted as its own valid field of study.
Social Welfare Professor Mark Kaplan was cited in an 808 Opinions blog post about the exacerbation of gun violence during times of crisis. The post argued that economic hardship and social unrest as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have incited fear and panic. It also pointed to a rise in shootings, online ammunition sales and processed background checks for firearm purchases. The author cited a presentation by Kaplan that tied gun violence to racial and socioeconomic inequality in America. “You hear all about poverty, but inequality is another measure of economic well-being,” Kaplan said. “There is a strong correlation between homicide per million and income inequality.”
An opinion piece in the Los Angeles Daily News highlighted a UCLA Luskin evaluation of the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) program, launched in 2011 by the Los Angeles Police Department. The program assigns specially trained LAPD officers to work alongside residents to reduce crime by developing youth outreach, sports, recreational and other programs tailored specifically to their communities. The op-ed’s author, City Council member Joe Buscaino, called for expanding the program, describing it as “a radical departure from traditional policing.” He argued that CSP has “proven to reduce crime and establish great relationships and harmony between the LAPD and the community.” The yearlong UCLA Luskin analysis of CSP, led by Adjunct Professor of Social Welfare Jorja Leap, assessed crime data, community-based research, interviews, focus groups and surveys. It concluded that although it is not perfect, the CSP program has reduced crime and made residents feel safer.
Assistant Professor of Public Policy Emily Weisburst was featured in Christian Science Monitor and LAist articles about the changing role of police officers in schools. Nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd have prompted a rethinking of policing in schools as authorities debate how best to keep students safe and treat them fairly. “We are devoting a lot of resources to police in schools, and there can be protective benefits to that, potentially,” Weisburst explained. “But there are also really big potential costs that I think we need to be concerned about.” Weisburst’s research on the relationship between grants to fund police in schools and educational outcomes for students at those schools found statistically significant drops in the graduation rate and college enrollment rate for students at those schools. “When students are disciplined, their attachment to school decreases,” she said. “That can translate in the longer term to a lower likelihood of graduation.”
Associate Professor of Social Welfare Ian Holloway was mentioned in a High Times article about rates of cannabis use within the LGBTQ community. Most of the data pertaining to cannabis consumption relies on self-reporting, and there is still much to learn about consumption patterns among LGBTQ people. Last year, Holloway was awarded $400,000 for research into tobacco and cannabis use among sexual- and gender-minority young people. While previous studies of tobacco products have shown higher frequency of use within LGBTQ communities, less is known about specific subgroups of LGBTQ people or their use of cannabis. Holloway said his research, conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles LGBT Center, aims to achieve “better understanding of tobacco and cannabis-related health disparities among LGBT young people, which is crucial to improve both short-term and long-term health in LGBT communities.”

Initial Operational Capability (IOC):
Also Known As: ARV-assault, ARV-RSTA and UGCV
Origin: United States of America
Parent System: ARV
Initial Operational Capability (IOC): 2013
Total Production: ?
Total Cost: USD$311 million
There are no reviews so far
Description: The Armed Robotic Vehicle (ARV), formerly known as UGCV or Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle, is being developed by United Defense, now BAE Systems, to meet the requirements of the FCS program. The ARV vehicle will be controlled remotely by a single human operator located inside a manned platform or dismounted. This vehicle will eventually replace current Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) in high-risk missions. In April 2005, the ARV System Development and Demonstration (SDD) value was increased to $311 million to accelerate development and fielding of such unmanned system. More prototypes are to be produced under this contract modification. Within the current framework, the first ARVs would be fielded in 2010 achieving full operational capability by 2013. The FCS program was cancelled in 2011.
The 5-ton class ARV vehicle will be deployed in two versions both sharing the same chassis: ARV-RSTA for Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition missions and ARV-Assault for direct and indirect fire missions. United Defense/BAE Systems was selected by the FCS Lead System Integrator to conduct the ARV program in 2003. The ARV will operate in support of platoons and companies in the FCS-equipped units of action. The vehicle will be about the size of a large pickup truck and deployable in C-130 (various ARVs) or CH-47 (one ARV) aircraft. The ARV-RSTA will carry a cannon for self-defense, disperse ground sensors and conduct battle damage assessment. The ARV-Assault will carry beyond-line-of-sight missiles, a powerful automatic cannon and machine gun/s.
