After having their five-game winning streak snapped by the Denver Broncos, the Vikings (6-5) are looking to strengthen their playoff push, as they currently are in position for the NFC’s No. 6 seed. Joshua Dobbs will try to pilot an attack that will have to go at least another game without star wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who was downgraded to out on Monday. The Bears (3-8), meanwhile, are still seeking to finish the season strong and bounce back from last week’s late collapse against the Detroit Lions.
Bears vs. Vikings will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Nov. 27.

AS THE world celebrates International Women’s Day, the legal exploits of a 34-year-old former St Mary’s Girls Secondary Head Girl have caught the attention of Africa’s legal fraternity landing her a spot among Africa’s Top 100 Lawyers as compiled by the prestigious Court Room Mail.
Misozi Masengu who has barely clocked 10 years in legal practice is being celebrated for doing “great things”.
She joins a small circle of three other Zambians who have all been practicing law for at least 20 years and have also made the cut.
Heroic people’s lawyer Linda Kasonde famed for her vibrancy and bravery while she served as the first female president of the Law Association of Zambia, University of Zambia professor of laws Chuma Himonga and veteran legal practitioner Mwangala Zaloumis are the other three.
The Courtroom Mail initially set out to list 100 of the best female lawyers on the continent but due to the rigorous criteria, only 62 made it on the prestigious catalogue.
“The women listed are women who are currently doing great things and we regard them as Super Heroes, Heroes, Influencers and disruptors,” the Courtroom editor explained.
Nigeria contributed 15 lawyers to the list, the highest number while South Africa and Kenya have 11 and seven respectively.
Top of the list is Ethiopia’s first female federal chief justice Meaza Ashenafi.
“Apart from Ashenafi Meaza who we listed as number one, every other person is listed randomly in no special order.”
That Misozi has been recognised among Africa’s best at only 34 with less than a decade of practice only goes to demonstrate her brilliance, focus, hardwork and probably a bright future ahead.
The beautiful Misozi is the founder and Managing Partner of NOVUS HM Legal Practitioners, a leading full service firm in Lusaka.
She is a Beit Scholar, holding a Master of Laws(LLM) in Commercial Law from the University of Durham in England and a Bachelor of Laws degree (LLB) from the University of Zambia.
Misozi is a trial advocate and transactional lawyer, with expertise in commercial litigation and commercial transactions.
She has over 9 years’ experience representing clients in various commercial disputes including employment and labour relations, insurance, intellectual property, and capital markets.
She has successfully represented clients in landmark cases on the dissolution of Islamic marriages and creditors’ schemes of arrangement.
Her experience in transactional lawyering spans mergers and acquisitions, project finance, Islamic finance, private equity and corporate advisory and commercial.
She also has vast experience in advising leading commodity trading companies, particularly on acquisitions in the wholesale and FMCGs industry. She also has previously advised on acquisition financing in the banking sector and is a qualified corporate insolvency practitioner.
Misozi is passionate about seeking novelty in law and pushing the boundaries of legal practice. She is currently serving on various boards, as well as on various committees of the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ), the International Bar Association (IBA) and the International Trademarks Association (INTA).
Misozi is also an author and has written widely on employment and labour law.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to everyone else.
Gratitude is to marriage as oil is to an engine. It needs to be applied liberally and throughout and is of such importance, that a fresh supply must be added regularly to ensure success and longevity.
-- Matthew Smith
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
The importance of gratitude cannot be overstated. A marriage that is full of gratitude is also full of romance. A marriage devoid of gratitude soon loses its flame.
Take a moment and let your sweetheart know of your love and appreciation. Create a list of the things you appreciate about your sweetie. Maybe even write it in a nice Thank You card. Include several, maybe ten, specific items that your sweetheart may not know or that you have not expressed gratitude for in a long time.
Here is part of my list to get you going.
I am grateful:
* for your beautiful eyes and the way they shine when you smile
* that you have chosen to stay home and be there for the kids. It has made a big difference in our family.
* for pumpkin pie -- yours is the best
* that you are my friend when I need to talk
* for your parents and the fine example they show to the children
* for a warm hug after a hard day at work
* for your ability to sing and play -- I love to listen to you sing
* that you cut my hair
* for how you help the kids with their school work and help keep them motivated

North Wales Crusaders boss Anthony Murray has added strength and conditioning coach Adam Withy to his backroom staff for the 2021 campaign.
Withy joins Crusaders from Wigan Warriors’ women’s team and was previously involved with Championship club Leigh Centurions.
He will take over as strength and conditioning coach from winger Rob Massam, who has decided to step away from the role to focus purely on playing.
On linking up with North Wales ahead of the 2021 campaign, Withy said: “Muzza has been training with me and I’ve been killing him in the gym every week.
“He’s mentioned coming down to Crusaders previously to see what things are like at the club and then this opportunity has come up for me.
“Muzza knows my style and what I’m like so hopefully I’ll be a really good fit for the club.
“It looks like the lads are already in good shape, but I want to put my own stamp on things and make further improvements.
“I’ve got my own style and I’ll be working the lads hard. I’ve already got plenty of plans in place once we start approaching pre-season for 2021.”

Fall Still Good Time to Buy But Don’t Expect Lower Prices
At Southeast Mortgage, we often talk about real estate cycles and the benefits of paying attention to the cyclical nature of mortgage rates, the economy and even the seasons. Next to spring, fall can be the most advantageous time to purchase a home due to a variety of financial and psychological motivations. We still believe that to be the case, although this fall you can expect a dramatically different pattern for home prices from years past.
In the past few years, there was little demand for housing and a large supply of homes available. With a large inventory of homes and fewer buyers, home prices would decrease in the fall as sellers would try to sell their home before the dark days of winter set in, the worst time for a house to be on the market.
However, this fall brings a different kind of change with pretty much the reverse being the case. This season, the Atlanta market is currently experiencing a housing shortage with very low inventories being reported. According to the Atlanta Real Estate Summit for 2013, Atlanta is experiencing the worst housing shortage, especially for homes under $500,000, since 1993. Homes in Atlanta are on the market for a median of only 60 days, compared to the national median of 98 days.
Though the selection of Atlanta homes has decreased compared to years past, the combination of tax breaks on the horizon and an ideal moving season can still make fall a great time to contact a Realtor and begin looking for your new dream home.
“A lot of people see Labor Day as the beginning of a new year, when the summer holidays are over and everyone goes back to school and back to work,” says Charlie Young, president and CEO of ERA Real Estate in Parsippany, N.J.
After traveling and enjoying the summer holidays, many people now turn their attention to the purchasing of a new home.
Year-end tax breaks for closing a loan
As the fall approaches, people are already daydreaming about possible year-end tax breaks. ERA Real Estate, a global real estate franchisor, attributes 10 percent of fall home sales to people seeking tax benefits of homeownership. Furthermore, if you close your loan before the end of the year and prepay some interest, that amount will be deductable.
Optimal moving season
When people visualize moving, they may imagine hauling boxes in the blistering summer heat or slipping on ice in the driveway. Moving in autumn avoids the sweltering summer sun as well as chilly icy roads. Moving becomes less of a chore and more about enjoying your new space.
For families, moving at the beginning of the school year in September, rather than in the middle of a school year, is a huge stress-relief for children and parents.
Fall is still a good time to move. You just won’t see the major decreases in home prices as in the past years. And of course, with the low inventories we’ve been seeing, it’s a wonderful time to sell a home.

I have a league located in Charlotte NC area. We have owners from all around the cities and states surrounding Charlotte. This is a LIVE DRAFT you must attend. It is a NL only, 5x5, auction style keeper league with a 260 cap. Entry fee is $200 with the winner taking home over $1000. We pay out 3 places. This is a very good and very competitive league.

Austrocylindropuntia lagopus (K.Schum.) I.Crook, J.Arnold & M.Lowry
Opuntia lagopus (basionym), Austrocylindropuntia malyana, Punotia lagopus, Opuntia malyana, Tephrocactus lagopus, Maihueniopsis lagopus
Austrocylindropuntia lagopus is a low growing cactus, forming very dense, large cushions to several meters in diameter and a height of 2 feet (60 cm). From the areoles arise very fine, up to 0.8 inch (2 cm) long, creamy-yellowish hair. Stems are cylindrical and up to 1 feet (30 cm) tall, sometimes shorter and globose. Leaves are green and up to 0.3 inch (7 mm) long. In habitat the leaves are almost entirely hidden in the hair. The spine is yellow and up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. Flowers are golden yellow, barely emerging from bristles at anthesis, up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) long.
How to Grow and Care
Though the large variety of species within the Opuntia genus means different types of prickly pears may need slightly different care, all are desert cacti that need lots of sun, lots of light, and very little water. If you live in a hot, arid area – particularly the American Southwest – these plants can generally be planted outside, left alone, and enjoyed.
Though Opuntia will grow just fine in a garden, they can be grown in pots as well. To repot, ensure the soil is dry, then remove the pot and knock away the old soil. After treating any cuts with fungicide, place the prickly pear in a new pot and backfill it with potting soil. As with a new cutting, make sure not to water a newly repotting prickly pear for a brief period to avoid rotting its roots… – See more at: How to Grow and Care for Opuntia.
Native to Peru.

Background/Objectives: This paper examines how hedging activities with property-liability insurance affect the likelihood of a firm’s financial distress. To this end, this study employs a pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression with a dependent variable, “distance-to-default”. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This study proxies for a firm’s hedging activities using the extent of property-liability insurance use. As robustness checks, this study re-estimates a regression equation using a dependent variable, Z-scores. This study further performs an analysis using the fixed effects panel regressions. Findings: This study finds that the extent of property-liability insurance use is positively related to proxies for the likelihood of financial distress, proxied as “distant-to-default” and Z-scores. The findings indicate that firms with a higher extent of property-liability insurance use are less likely to be subject to financial difficulties. Improvements: Overall, this study suggests that firms can lower the likelihood of their financial distress using hedging with propertyliability insurance.

Mike Ward, 'Petit Jérémy' case brings out defenders and critics
Case pits freedom of expression versus right to equality
The case of Quebec comedian Mike Ward versus Jérémy Gabriel before the province's human rights tribunal has brought out supporters of freedom of expression but also has critics saying the comedian's joke crossed the line.
The family of Jérémy Gabriel filed a complaint in 2012 after Ward ridiculed the young man in his comedy show, Mike Ward s'eXpose.
Gabriel, who is now 18, became known in Quebec when he was flown to Rome to sing for the Pope in 2006.
He has Treacher Collins syndrome, an illness that causes severe disfigurement.
In Ward's comedy bit, he said he at first humoured the attention Gabriel — or as he called him, Petit Jérémy — was getting.
"But now, five years later, and he's still not dead! ... Me, I defended him, like an idiot, and he won't die!" Ward said.
The topic was tackled on CBC Montreal's Radio Noon where a number of voices defended the comedian for his jokes, while others said Ward went too far.
Derek Seguin, Montreal comedian
If you look at the joke, it's not a mean, hateful thing, it's a joke.- Derek Seguin , comedian
"I'm afraid that this is even a thing, that it even made it to an official court of law," Seguin said.
"We're comedians, we tell jokes. If you look at the joke, it's not a mean, hateful thing, it's a joke."
Linda Gauthier, president of RAPLIQ limited mobility group
"I do agree with Jérémy Gabriel for filing a complaint with the Human Rights Commission. Mike Ward goes very, very far and this time, he goes over the limit," she said.
"There's a word which is called respect. You can laugh at the action of a person, what a person does, but not laugh about a person with limitations. I think that freedom of expression this time went too far. There should be some limits to that. His liberty stops where Jeremy's starts. He crossed the line."
Michael Lifshitz, comedian born with musculoskeletal abnormalities
"Worst case scenario, you can call this joke insensitive or mean. I don't think it has any place whatsoever in a court of law," Lifshitz said.
"Hats off to Jeremy for reaching his goal of being a singer, I was very touched to hear his goal of showing that people with disabilities can do things like other people, that's actually my whole raison d'être.
But I think in fairness, Mike does do risqué humour. He was at the Nasty Show this summer, that's his style of comedy. Obviously it's not for everybody. If you are offended by it, simply don't go to his shows. But I think to take him to court is crossing the line."
Louis Philippe Lampron, Laval University law professor
"We are confronted here with two fundamental rights, which are freedom of expression and the right to equality, anti-discrimination measures. We have to know that the Quebec Human Rights commission has the right to convict a person for discriminatory insults expressed in public," he said.
We are confronted here with two fundamental rights: freedom of expression and the right to equality.- Louis Philippe Lampron , law professor
"Here it was jokes against Jeremy Gabriel - very bad taste ones, but still jokes - in the context of a humour show.
Mike Ward will plead for his freedom of artistic expression. He is doing trash humour and we'll have to see if it's possible to be convicted for crossing the line of freedom of expression in that particular case."

At the age of 3 1/2, Willow told her mother that she wanted to play banjo. The hardest thing for her Mom was to find a banjo small enough for her to play! Here in her own words Willow tells us the story of this early inspiration:
When I was three and a half years old I went to see a show in Pigeon Forge called the "Dixie Stampede". There I saw the, now; four-time International Banjo Champion, Gary Davis or some people call him Biscuit. As soon as I heard Gary start playing I leaned over to my mom and told her this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life... play banjo! This is what no parent ever wants to hear! Just kidding of course :) She thought for my fourth birthday she could go and buy me a toy banjo. After going to a bunch of toy shops she still couldn't find one, so she decided to go to a music shop to see if they had one. There she met a man who said don't buy her a toy banjo, buy her the real thing and I'll teach her... This man was Gary Davis and he's now been teaching me for nine years.
Today, at the age of 13, she is a seasoned performer who has a featured spot at the “Country Tonite Theater Show” in Pidgeon Forge and at Dollywood. She has even been on stage playing with Rhonda Vincent and the Rage.
Willow’s smile can light up a room and at last year’s IBMA in Charlotte, she got to sit and play with her banjo hero, Jens Kruger, in the Deering booth. She was chosen to be featured in a local PBS show being taped at IBMA that year and her session with Jens Kruger was filmed along with a brief interview. Her demeanor belies her young years.
Willow is a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who performs with guitar, a Deering Sierra Acoustic/Electric banjo, and a Deering 6-String Phoenix banjo. When asked why she chose Deering banjos to play she said “There are so many reasons why I choose and love playing my Sierra. One of the main reasons I absolutely love it, is the satin finish on the neck... it makes it so much easier to do slides and play licks. The humbucking pick-up is also an amazing feature to have. The banjo has an outstanding tone whether acoustic or plugged up. It's a really beautiful high quality instrument for sure! I'm one lucky girl to be able to say proudly that I play a Deering. What else can I say but...? I love my Deering!!
Needless to say, we are looking forward to years of great banjo music from this lovely young musician!
From the first time we heard Mean Mary’s music we at Deering have been fans. So it is no surprise we are very excited about her upcoming album Cold, and new...

So when I first published the Richard Prince Canal Zone YES RASTA book in March, I got some nice responses from people, including a couple of folks who suggested I look at joining ABC, the Artists' Book Co-operative. ABC is an interesting-looking coalition of artists and photographers who come together to support and discuss print-on-demand publishing and to bring attention to their projects.
As it turns out, Printed Matter is hosting a reception and conversation tomorrow night with active members of ABC, which is in conjunction with an exhibition of ABC/POD titles that runs until June 30th.
It should be positively informative and delightful, and I look forward to going, to meeting some of the folks there, and to possibly seeing a greg.org reader or two as well. At this point, I think I will not endeavor to join ABC, but to continue to admire them from a distance.
Seeing as how they already have at least one guy who copies jpegs of Richard Prince cowboy photos in volume, and another who just released a collection of Google Maps images showing of the peculiarly aesthetic polygonal camouflage technique used to obscure sensitive sites in the Dutch landscape, maybe a little more distance would be better for all concerned.

A wave of confusion has swept across the political landscape following rumors about an accident involving Laurent Jacobelli, a renowned French politician and member of the National Assembly. While these rumors have left many puzzled, it is important to separate fact from fiction and paint a clear picture of the situation.
Who is Laurent Jacobelli?
Laurent Jacobelli is a prominent figure in French politics known for his affiliation with the National Rally. Elected as a member of the National Assembly for Moselle’s 8th constituency in 2022, Jacobelli has made substantial contributions to French politics throughout his career.
Before embarking on his political journey, Jacobelli served as an audiovisual manager for TV5, where he headed the station’s programs for three years. His experiences in media and politics have shaped him into a versatile professional with a diverse skillset.
What Happened To Laurent Jacobelli?
Recent reports have fueled speculation about an alleged accident involving Jacobelli. However, these rumors appear to be unfounded, with no credible sources confirming such an incident. As of now, Jacobelli’s activities remain focused on his political duties, and no official statement regarding an accident has been released by him or his representatives.
Are the Laurent Jacobelli Accident Details True or Not?
Based on the available information, it is safe to say that the rumors surrounding Jacobelli’s supposed accident are unsubstantiated. Despite widespread speculation, no concrete evidence or official confirmation supports these claims. Therefore, it is important to take these rumors with a grain of salt until further notice.
Where is Laurent Jacobelli Now?
Despite the rumors, Laurent Jacobelli continues to fulfill his role as a Member of the National Assembly for Moselle’s 8th constituency. His political career remains active, with Jacobelli actively participating in legislative activities and representing his constituents’ interests.
Jacobelli’s political journey has seen him collaborate with various political figures, including Nicolas Dupont-Aignan. He has also contested in regional elections and was the FN candidate in the 10th constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône in June 2017.
While rumors about Laurent Jacobelli’s alleged accident have caused confusion, there is currently no evidence to support these claims. As we continue to follow his political endeavors, it is crucial to rely on verified information and refrain from spreading unconfirmed news.


Welcome to Bradley Stoke Town Council's Website
The Bradley Stoke Community Festival will take place from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th June 2017.

Bradley Stoke Town Council has signed up to the SGC Green Dog Walkers Scheme. Green Dog Walkers® is an original project initiated by Community Green Initiative of Dunipace in partnership with Falkirk Council. It is operated in South Gloucestershire under licence through the local groups.
Green Dog Walkers is a non-confrontational, friendly way to change attitudes about dog fouling. The idea is that responsible dog owners sign a pledge to say that they will clear up after their dogs & will carry spare bags with them which they will offer to anyone they see not clearing up. They will wear a very distinct arm band to identify them as a Green Dog Walker.
Anyone interested in signing up to the Scheme should contact Bradley Stoke Town Council office.

TRADITIONAL/EAST COAST SINGER
SOLO EAST COAST FOLKSINGER
As a Cape Bretoner (Glace Bay, NS), I bring a passion for performing the music and songs from my Atlantic Canada roots. My solo programs always include significant East Coast content - traditional and contemporary songs one might expect to hear at a pub or house concert anywhere in Atlantic Canada....and I complement this with my own original songs, which generally have a celar traditional feel to them. Lately my solo shows include a growing Appalachian component as I examine traditional UK songs that made it to, and evolved in, Appalachia. My shows are full of entertaining stories & banter which serve to frame the background to each tune or song.
I'm always on the lookout for folk friendly places to perform such as House Concerts, Cafes. Senior Centres, Museums and Robbie Burns/St. Pats events.
Some of my Career Highlights:
- Celtic Colours International Festival – Cape Breton NS – 2001
- Mill Race Festival – 2010/2016.
- Founder and Artistic Director – Waterloo-Wellington Guitar Summit – 2003-1012.
- Musician In Residence – McDougall Cottage, Cambridge ON – 2011/12
- Fergus Scottish Festival – Frequent performer since 2001.
- Leads Monthly Ceilidh/Session at the SCRAN & DRAM in New Hamburg
- Workshops on Altered Tunings and Song Arranging.

6:30 p.m. EST: The Red Sox are denying that they’ve eliminated Gene Lamont from contention for the vacancy. Lamont also says he hasn’t heard anything from the Red Sox suggesting that he’s out of the mix.
It’s down to Bobby Valentine and, umm…., Bobby Valentine?
Sources told ESPN’s Karl Ravech that Gene Lamont is no longer a candidate to take over as Boston’s manager. With Torey Lovullo also out of the running, Valentine is the only remaining known candidate for the job.
Ravech’s sources said Valentine has yet to be offered the job, but that such a move appears imminent.
Valentine, who worked for ESPN last season, would be returning to the dugout for the first time since 2002. He went 581-605 with the Rangers from 1985-1992 and 536-467 with the Mets from 1996-2002. He took the Mets to the World Series as a wild card in 2000, but he’s never managed a first-place team.
The Rangers outrighted reliever Shawn Tolleson off the 40-man roster on Wednesday. Rather than accept the assignment to Triple-A Round Rock, Tolleson has opted to become a free agent, Rangers executive VP of communications John Blake reports.
Tolleson, 28, emerged as a closer for the Rangers in 2015, but his follow-up campaign this year was dreadful. He finished with a 7.68 ERA and a 29/10 K/BB ratio in 36 1/3 innings. He eventually went on the 60-day disabled list with a back injury.
Despite the nightmarish season, it’s easy to see a team deciding to take a flier on Tolleson for the 2017 season.
Indians slugger Carlos Santana hasn’t played in the outfield in a major league game since 2012, but the Indians are strongly considering starting him in left field for Game 3 of the World Series at Wrigley Field on Friday, MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian reports. As the game is hosted in a National League park, there is no DH rule in effect, so the Indians might otherwise have to keep Santana on the bench.
Santana is hitless in six at-bats in the World Series thus far, but he has drawn two walks. He has overall not had a great postseason, carrying an aggregate .564 OPS in 40 plate appearances since the beginning of the playoffs. Still, during the regular season, he had an .865 OPS so he can certainly be a threat on offense at any given moment.

How does coalition governance shape voters' perceptions of government parties and how does this, in turn, influence party behaviors? Analyzing cross-national panel surveys, election results, experiments, legislative amendments, media reports, and parliamentary speeches, Fortunato finds that coalition compromise can damage parties' reputations for competence as well as their policy brands in the eyes of voters. This incentivizes cabinet partners to take stands against one another throughout the legislative process in order to protect themselves from potential electoral losses. The Cycle of Coalition has broad implications for our understanding of electoral outcomes, partisan choices in campaigns, government formation, and the policy-making process, voters' behaviors at the ballot box, and the overall effectiveness of governance.

Honest reviews of the books that capture me as I navigate this crazy thing called life.
"Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" is a beautiful story of friendship, family, and love that has stood the test of time. Fannie Flagg has succeeded in creating characters with the depth and warmth that make them feel like part of the family. The storyline occasionally slows, but the energy mimics that of the real highs and lows of life. It is a story that can be put down and when you come back to it, feels like coming home.
The story follows that of middle-aged housewife Evelyn Couch who feels very lost in both her identity and her marriage. When she meets Mrs. Virginia (Ninny) Threadgoode at the Rose Terrace Nursing Home, she is drawn in by the older woman's story of the town of Whistle Stop, Alabama in the 1930's, particularly that of Idgie Threadgood and her best friend, business partner, and love of her life, Ruth Jamison. Mrs. Threadgoode through story-telling and wisdom befriends Evelyn, teaching her lessons that ultimately change Evelyn's life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, not knowing however how very different it was from the movie. The only thing I didn't like was the transitions between Evelyn's story, The Weems Weekly and Idgie and Ruth's stories. I felt the transitions could have been smoother and in the beginning got confused on a few occasions. This is one book I will more than likely read again!

Various mushroom species daintly adorn these soft tights. Tights are 90% nylon and 10% spandex microfiber and are quite stretchy.
Comes in Ivory and Black colorways
Color: As all screens depict colors and shades differently there may be some variation in the product. Because these tights are printed flat some white edges may be present in the toe and upper hip areas. Also as with all tights the fabric will lighten as it is stretched.
Sizes: These are the sizes given to me by the printing company and are rather cautious in my opinion. The tights are quite stretchy.
Regular size fits 5' to 5'.7" 100 to 150 lbs
Large size fits 5'.7" to 6'.2" 150 to 180 lbs

Saturday, we faced Millmoor Juniors away.
Our girls started the game brilliantly, with every player keen to improve on last week’s first half performance.
Diane our GK has been having plenty of 1 on 1 GK training with our coach Andy on a Tuesday, this is really starting to pay off, her positional awareness, shot stopping and kicking was excellent on Saturday earning her the Star Player award, well done Diane!
Our defence saw plenty of the action with Milly, Faith and Lilian all putting in a big shift, making some great tackles against a very quick counter attacking Millmoor team, well done you 3!
The midfield players of Tilly, Scarlett, Lottie and Effy were all fantastic with a never say die attitude, Tilly has really impressed me now for the 3rd week running, her confidence, strength and positive attitude is all there to see, this earned her the Charnie bear award, well done Tilly, keep it up!
The front 2 of Erin and Daisy were up against a well organised defence/midfield and with the extra small pitch really had a task on their hands but they never gave up trying with both of them having plenty of shots at the Millmoor keeper.
Plenty of improvement from last week’s 1st half, a big well done to all the girls, see you all Tuesday.

How availability works on our website:
Some services – tours, for example – need to be scheduled for a specific date and time. When that’s the case, you can set the date and ticket type on our website and we’ll contact you via e-mail with details about availability, start times, or anything else you might need.
Once we’ve agreed on the details of your date-specific order, we will finalize your reservation. Until then, it can be freely rescheduled and modified. If the date you’ve selected is unavailable or none of the proposed times fit your needs, your date-specific product will be fully refunded without delay.
A chartered bus departing from the “Nádraží Holešovice” metro station will take you to all the way to Terezín’s main square. The 1km walk from there to the memorial will set you back about 15 minutes, and our detailed instructions – included with every Praguezilla order – will show you the way.
There are more glamorous ways to get to the memorial, including private shuttles that’ll take you straight to the entrance and spare you 15 minutes of walking, but they’re usually two or three times the cost of the regular bus included in our pack.
In Terezín’s case, we don’t discourage private transport if you don’t mind paying extra for comfort. In fact, if you’re elderly of have difficulty walking, we’d recommend it. But if you’re OK with taking a little stroll through Terezín to get to the memorial and want to save a ton of cash on transportation, our pack is really all you need.
The full pack includes:
A bus ticket to Terezín and back with assigned seats, instructions on how to get where you need to go, entry fee to the memorial and a scheduled tour.
Please note that all tours, orders and deliveries must be scheduled at least 3 days in advance, otherwise we won’t have enough time to make necessary arrangements.

Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is the use of radiation to safely treat and manage cancer. Radiation oncologists use radiation to eradicate cancer cells, reduce their growth or relieve symptoms of cancer.
Radiation therapy works by damaging cancer cells while limiting the impact to healthy cells. It is a painless, non-invasive treatment (similar to having an x-ray), that is localised to the part of the body being treated.
Icon uses the most cutting-edge radiation therapy techniques and technology to deliver pin-point accurate radiation to the tumour. Our technology and expertise allows us to accurately treat all cancer types of various size, type and location.
Radiation therapy treatment can be delivered on its own, or in combination with other forms of treatment, such as chemotherapy, hormones and surgery. It is commonly undertaken as an outpatient service.
Treatment is usually given in daily intervals (Monday to Friday) over several weeks, allowing enough radiation to target cancer cells while providing healthy cells enough time to recuperate. A single course of radiation therapy is unique to each person and their condition. This includes the site and stage of the disease, type of disease, a person’s age and general health. Radiation does not make you radioactive, and it is safe for patients undergoing treatment to be around other people, including children.

HRH The Prince of Wales announced as Patron of national tercentenary celebration
The Grinling Gibbons Society is delighted to announce that HRH The Prince of Wales will be Patron of the national festival (August 2021 to August 2022), Grinling Gibbons 300: Carving a Place in History, celebrating the life, genius and legacy of this extraordinary man.
Commenting on the Royal Patronage, Mark Aspinall (Master Mercer), Chair of the Grinling Gibbons Society, responsible for master-planning the GG300 Festival said: ‘It is a tremendous honour for this festival to receive the Patronage of The Prince of Wales. As Patron, His Royal Highness brings recognition to the indelible mark that Grinling Gibbons has left on the cultural identity of the nation.’
Grinling Gibbons, legendary artist, sculptor, craftsman, and the greatest carver in British history died on 3 August 1721. Over the past 300 years, he has inspired craftsmanship and carving from his contemporaries to modern-day makers. Gibbons is a potent symbol of inspiration and achievement. He carved with an unsurpassed realism that could literally fool the eye. His name is synonymous with excellence.
The Prince of Wales is uniquely qualified as Patron of the tercentenary. Not only a passionate advocate of the arts and heritage, His Royal Highness also embodies the important connection with the Crown that Grinling Gibbons enjoyed across his career. From obscure beginnings Gibbons attained the greatest accolade – the King’s Carver – through his extraordinary talent and skill. He was commissioned by Charles II in the remodelling of Windsor Castle, and was subsequently appointed in 1693 by William III to be Master Sculptor and Carver to the Crown.
His Royal Highness is also well known for his long-standing and deep commitment to supporting traditional skills and heritage crafts through education, training and creating opportunities for emerging talent. This mirrors the Tercentenary purpose to celebrate Gibbons’ legacy by promoting and sustaining present-day craftsmanship and inspiring new generations of skilled makers.
‘stupendous and beyond all description… the incomparable carving of our Gibbons, who is without controversy the greatest master both for innovation and rareness of work that the world ever had in any age’.

Finn Academy in Elmira wins three-year charter extension
The board Monday approved a three-year extension of Finn Academy's charter during a meeting at its New York City office.
Multiple Finn Academy leaders, family members and scholars participated in the meeting by video conference from the SUNY Binghamton campus.
The renewal is a win for families in the Elmira community, ensuring that Finn can continue to educate young scholars and set them on a path for success, said Finn Academy board of trustees Chair Renee Sutton.
“Our board of trustees, leadership team, staff and scholars have all worked tremendously hard since our opening five years ago,” Sutton said. “This renewal is acknowledgment that our model and design is working—we are improving academic outcomes for children in Elmira, which is what our founders set out to do over seven years ago.”
Supporters of establishing a charter school in Elmira filed a letter of intent with the SUNY Charter School Institute early in 2013.
Once its charter was approved, the school leased the former Ernie Davis Middle School at 610 Lake St. in Elmira from the Elmira City School District, and opened its doors in September 2015 with 212 students.
The school's enrollment was 396 students for the 2019-2020 school year, according to the SUNY Charter Schools Institute.
“We would not be here without the tremendous support of the Elmira community and our dedicated staff of educators,” Sutton said. “We are also truly humbled by Finn families who have entrusted us with their scholars’ learning.”

The upcoming elections in the united States of america has made trump to do everything by which he can secure his seat. Donal trump the president of america has decided to suspend new visas including the H-1B category which is for Indian and IT professionals, at least until the end of this year to protect his citizens and the American workers which the white house said will help the coronavirus baffered economy. The cancellation of visas will take place from june 24. The order is exmpted for the US natives and the citizens who already posses the citizenship card and also the abroad visa holders regarding they have an official travel document stating permission into the US. The affected visa categories are H-2B consisting the seasonal non farm labour, H-4 which is for children and spouses of H-1B category, H-2B holders, J-1 comprising the educational and cultural exchange, J-2 i,e the spouses and children of J-1, L-1 which is high level and specialisted company employees and L-2 their children and spouses. Donald trump’s another intention other than protecting his country from this virus is also to open up employment schemes for them, he said that the visa suspension which will take place this wednesday and till the end of the year will provide job opportunities for the US workers. Around 5,25,000 jobs will be open up for them.
This proclamation has disheartened the Indian tech industry. Indian IT industry’s apex body Nasscom has criticised the order saying it is” misguided and harmful to the US economy… We urge the administration to shorten the duration of these restrictions to 90 days. Lengthening these burdensome restrictions on US companies that are trying to recover from the economic fallout of the covid-19 pandemic will only serve to harm the economy.” They added on and said that the US government should go through this proclamation one more time and should move forward with a set of regulatory changes which would benefit both the economies.
This decision will affect a large number of companies majorly the IT professionals as well as the US companies whose workers were given the H-1B visas by the US government whose duration will end next year, they have to wait a whole year before approaching the US diplomatic missions to get stamping.
The Google CEO, Sundar Pichai said “ America’s continued success depends on companies having access to the best talent from around the world…disappointed by the proclamation”
Amazon: Preventing high skilled professionals from entering the country and contributing to America’s economic recovery puts its global competitiveness at risk.
Facebook: Highly skilled visa holders play a critical role in driving innovation, that’s something we should encourage, not restrict.
In April Donald Trump signed an immigration proclamation targeting people outside of the US seeking permit to legally migrate to US with some exceptions. The new visas introduced are the L-1 visas for intra company transfers, H-1Bs for workers in speciality occupations as well as the H-4 visas for spouses, H-2Bs for temporary non- agricultural workers and most J-1 visas for exchange visitors. The new rules would apply only to those who are outside the US, do not have a non immigrant visa and an official travel document other than a visa to enter the US.

The Velvet Basement is a lush, sensual set of stories set in Victorian England. They skirt the edge of Gothic eroticism and dark romanticism giving them a rich, moody feel. They are strongly influenced by fairy tales but like they used to be told; the ones that held real darkness to overcome and where the rewards for undertaking the journey, for surviving the past or the ordeal given to you were often not what you expect.
Book 1 holds elements of Sleeping Beauty (The Veiled Heart), Book 2, Cinderella (The Bound Heart), & Book 3 Beauty and The Beast (The Painted Heart). They are not retellings but hold the deeper pattern that sits in the stories.
In 2018 book 4, we take a darker turn and step into the world of Little Red Riding Hood (The Fur Heart) a story full of crops, masks and teeth.
THE VEILED HEART
A CHANCE ENCOUNTER, A FORBIDDEN TASTE OF PASSION…
IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED THERE…
A TALE OF SLEEPING BEAUTY
THE BOUND HEART
A WOMAN DETERMINED TO WIN THE MAN SHE WANTS… AND THE MAN SET ON PROTECTING HER FROM HIS DARKEST DESIRES.
A TALE OF CINDERELLA
THE PAINTED HEART
A WOMAN WHOSE HEART WAS AS FIERCE AS IT WAS FRAGILE … AND THE MAN WHO BOUGHT HER TO WIN IT.
A TALE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
THE FUR HEART
A TALE OF LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

On Thursday, men’s digital lifestyle magazine Thrillist is unveiling a revamped mobile app, heralding both an expansion of the brand and a narrowing of the focus of its coverage. Instead of all-things-dude, Thrillist’s content will primarily cover food, drink and travel for the modern man.
The company, which until today has primarily distributed its men’s lifestyle content to its nearly 3 million subscribers via email, is essentially conceding that its core audience has changed the way it consumes content – and what it’s interested in.
You have read the maximum number of free articles.
This content is available exclusively to Digiday+ members.
“We needed to get focused,” said Ben Lerer, CEO of Thrillist. “There are still lots of other areas we touch on, but it all connects to that idea of helping guys figure out how to spend their money in those categories.”
The old app, for example, used to be an afterthought, a dumping ground for repurposed content from the Thrillist website. You’d be able to read the articles, but the content didn’t make sense for the guy who’s out-and-about town, looking for a nearby sushi joint or dive bar. Now, the app is attuned to the mobile environment.
As such, someone who has downloaded the app can see not only the best of the town in whichever category — mainly food or drink — he’s looking for, but also which of those places are closest to where he is. He can look up the 10 best pizzas in New York while waiting in line at the liquor store and be given a list that was created by a local Thrillist editor.
In the past six months, Thrillist has expanded its market, creating targeted content for guys in Montreal, New Orleans, Berlin and Toronto. It plans to be in Paris, Amsterdam and Buenos Aires by the end of the year. Twenty-five cities have at least one Thrillist writer in them. And while its Web audience is relatively small (just 1 million uniques, according to comScore), it has something advertisers clamor for: data.
The company bought JackThreads, a members-only clothing “shopping community” for men, and advertisers like the targeting capabilities that stem from the Thrillist and JackThreads audiences. There’s also Crosby Press, the company’s e-commerce and content arm, which advertisers like because it lets Thrillist readers buy the items they’re reading about.
“You can see them move to a diversification strategy,” said George Hammer, vp and group director of digital strategy at Digitas. “They’re trying to become a lifestyle brand, rather than a push-out model.”

While sexual assault on college campuses isn’t a new issue at the Capitol, legislators from both parties say the recent scandal at Baylor University has sparked a bipartisan effort to address the issue at the state level.
One Baylor alum, state Sen. Kirk Watson, an Austin Democrat, has filed a package of legislation aimed at fighting sexual assault on college campuses. Another, state Rep. Jeff Leach — a Republican from Plano — is carrying two of Watson’s five bills in the House and told The Texas Tribune the events at Baylor were “certainly something that motivated and propelled me to delve into these issues.”
Leach said he and other state officials with Baylor ties have been “communicating on a regular basis on what we could do to address it.” And they've consulted with Baylor officials before and during the legislative session, according to a Baylor spokeswoman.
“[N]o other university in the country has responded as aggressively and decisively as Baylor regarding incidents of sexual assault on our campus,” spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said in an emailed statement. “We are working alongside our legislators and sharing what we have learned from the actions we have taken to improve and strengthen our response to interpersonal violence.”
Meanwhile, former state Sen. Wendy Davis is using her nonprofit Deeds Not Words — an advocacy group founded in 2016 — to encourage students to lobby in favor of the sexual assault prevention bills filed this session.
“Certainly in Texas there’s a bright spotlight shining on this issue, particularly in the circumstances surrounding what happened in Baylor,” Davis told The Texas Tribune.
But Watson, who has sponsored the bulk of this year’s bills targeting sexual assault on campuses, said his efforts aren’t tied to the Baylor scandal. He said the issue extends beyond problems at a single university.
Watson said Baylor "had no more input on this than any other institution of higher education that we dealt with, but did provide some information about their policies ... it would be a stretch to say there was a collaboration."
“I have been extraordinarily disappointed in the reports that have come out,” Watson said about the Baylor scandal, adding that it “highlighted a very serious need and problem in our state” that the Legislature needed to address in new ways.
An unfolding scandal
The private university in Waco is still grappling with the scandal that became public in 2015. A federal lawsuit filed in January claimed that 31 players on the Baylor football team committed 52 acts of rape from 2011 to 2014, far more than had been previously disclosed by university officials.
Baylor fired head football coach Art Briles and unseated Ken Starr as university president last year in response. Starr left Baylor altogether shortly after. A Baylor spokesperson told the Tribune in February that the university had taken “unprecedented corrective actions” that led to leadership changes within the administration and athletic department.
Last week, another former Baylor football player was arrested on sexual assault charges stemming from a 2013 incident, and Waco’s 10th Court of Appeals overturned another former player’s conviction and ordered a new trial.
Around a quarter of sexual assault offenders in Texas in 2015 were between the ages of 15 and 24, according to the Department of Public Safety, and another report said more than 20,000 sexual assaults happened in Texas in 2016.
A study conducted by the University of Texas System found that 15 percent of students surveyed at UT-Austin reported that they’ve been sexually assaulted. The report, released Friday, surveyed 7,500 students at the university through a voluntary questionnaire.
“We have an obligation, a duty as lawmakers — notwithstanding political party or where our collegiate allegiances lie,” Leach said, later adding, “We believe it’s our responsibility to collaborate with Baylor University to fix it, and that’s what we have done.”
Ripples at the Capitol
Lawmakers have come at the issue from multiple angles this session. In the House, state Rep. John Raney, a Republican from College Station, filed a bill that would prohibit registered sex offenders from living in public or private campus housing, but would allow schools to determine if low-level offenders unlikely to reoffend could live on campus. Raney said House Bill 355 was also motivated by events at Baylor.
"After the issues at Baylor University came to light, I started researching state statutes that cover sex offenders residency restrictions,” he said, adding he was surprised current law didn’t prohibit registered sex offenders from living on campus.
Other proposed legislation filed this session includes:
- Senate Bill 968 by Watson, which would let students and employees electronically and anonymously report sexual assaults to their university.
- Senate Bill 969 by Watson, which would grant amnesty to students who reported sexual assault even if they were violating other laws themselves — such as underage drinking.
- Senate Bill 970 by Watson, which requires “affirmative consent” to be established in public and private universities’ sexual assault policies. During Thursday’s committee hearing, Watson defined affirmative consent as, “No means no, but the absence of ‘yes’ also means ‘no.’ I can give you permission to come to the front porch, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving you permission to come into the house.”
- Senate Bill 576 by Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, which would hold school employees and student leaders accountable for reporting instances of “sexual harassment, sexual assault, family violence or stalking” to the school’s president within 48 hours of becoming aware of the incident.
“It’s time we change the culture of college campuses, and Texas should lead the way,” Huffman said.
Of the five bills filed by Watson in February, three were considered and left pending in the Senate State Affairs committee Thursday.
Sexual assault survivors and advocates weigh in
Laura Welsh said this past year was the first time she’s been able to do things like go to the grocery store since she was sexually assaulted in 2009.
Welsh, a 28-year-old former student at Texas A&M University, told lawmakers at Thursday's State Affairs Committee hearing that she was assaulted by another student a year after she enrolled at A&M. She was among several sexual assault survivors who spoke in favor of Watson’s legislation.
“In 2012, I discontinued my college education. I suffered from panic and dissociative episodes,” Welsh told the committee. “There needs to be a clearer way for us to understand what consent really is. It’s not difficult to ask someone if they want to do anything. I think it’s a non-issue.”
Welsh was joined by several other survivors, including Paige Hardy, a sophomore at Baylor. Hardy said she was sexually assaulted more than a year ago, and society made her feel like it was her fault.
“We need the Legislature to be showing schools how to properly treat victims,” Hardy said. “Perhaps sexual assault has never affected you. ... I was there once.”
Huffman insisted at Thursday’s hearing that lawmakers would not leave victims in the dark.
“We're going to stand with you, I promise you that,” she said.
Lawmakers and advocates agree: Baylor may have put a brighter spotlight on this issue in Texas, but universities across the nation are battling a widespread sexual assault problem.
“Texas is not alone. As I’ve traveled around the country talking to young women, this is an issue that continues to percolate to the top of concern on college campuses across the country,” Davis said.
Watson said there’s no reason for the Legislature to not take action during the current session.
“There is no question that a scandal that has plagued Baylor has highlighted the very real problem, and one that we need to address. One that we need to address soon. There’s no reason to wait,” Watson said.
Read related Tribune coverage:
- Sen. Kirk Watson's proposed bills would require universities to provide an anonymous online sexual assault reporting process and would prohibit administrators from punishing victims who reveal they were drinking underage at the time of an attack.
- A combination of publicity, heightened scrutiny and a new state law is leading colleges across the state to place more emphasis than ever on preventing and responding to sexual assault.

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the opportunity to represent people who make a difference in the lives of others, like the Mahlstadt family of Indianola.
Nick and Typhanie Mahlstadt not only opened their hearts, but they pledged to make a lasting impact in their children’s home country, Ghana.
They co-founded The Move Project, a nonprofit organization that has served the homeless community in Des Moines, and have worked to improve water quality, construct primary schools, and assist local farmers in Ghana. They also help advance care for orphans and work on reducing poverty through their work with the Acts 2 Collective.
Throughout the month of November, National Adoption Month, we celebrate the Mahlstadts and all who advocate for our young people here in America and around the world.
Family is a gift, and as a representative, I pledge to continue to help families like the Mahlstadts cut through red tape and bring their children home, and to help find a Better Way so that everyone can live life to their full potential.


Around the state these days, it's common to hear Alabama fans say Auburn's football team would be nothing without Cam Newton. If we had a nickel for each time one of them said it, we could all afford to fly to Glendale, Arizona in early January. Of course, what's flawed in that statement is that Auburn does have Newton. Just like Georgia had Herschel and Texas had Vince Young.
The scary thing for Auburn's final three opponents is that this team is becoming more than just the Heisman front-runner. Others have emerged at just the right time. In many ways, Saturday's 51-31 win over Ole Miss was the most impressive of the season.
It didn't have the glamour of South Carolina, Arkansas or LSU; but more importantly, it was a team win, not one that came on the shoulders of just Newton and Nick Fairley. The offensive line had its best performance of the year; Onterio McCalebb established himself as a big play threat for the second consecutive week; and Michael Dyer showed the nation why he was the top prep player in America.
The vogue pick last week was to go against Auburn. Everyone from ESPN's Colin Cowherd to the guys at the barber shop said Auburn had run out of gas and a letdown was imminent. Three top teams in a row had fallen; it was only a matter of time for the Tigers.
The Ole Miss faithful sensed it. Privately, Auburn's coaching staff worried all week.
The Rebels wheeled out everyone to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium including Archie and Eli Manning and The Blind Side star Michael Oher. Surely the confederate gray uniforms would do the trick. At any moment, I expected to see Robert E. Lee's great-great grandson come riding in on the shoulders of Smokey the Bear. It was a night to pull out all the stops.
Instead, Auburn pulled together as a team.
Now it's come down to Amen Corner. Can you believe it? With Ole Miss in the rear-view mirror, Auburn's national championship run feels real. They actually have a legitimate shot. With a chance to rest their starters Saturday, Gene Chizik's team should be ready for Georgia.
Ole Miss put together the perfect game plan to stop Newton. It just didn't have the personnel to do it. As you look to Georgia and Alabama, they appear to be in the same boat. How do you stop a quarterback who runs like Bo Jackson and throws like John Elway? And might I add, catches like Terry Beasley.
Nothing is a given in the SEC. Both rivals are capable of beating these Tigers. But now you start to get the feeling this team is one of destiny. It's hard to describe. We felt it six years ago. It feels stronger this season.
The slate is set. Everyday feels like Christmas Eve. We've reached Amen Corner unblemished. Let's enjoy it. Who knows if or when it will come again. This football team is not perfect, but it's incredibly special. They know it and the rest of the country is learning it.
See you at Homecoming!

At Greener for Life, we own and operate an Anaerobic Digestion plants. This is able to take organic wastes from food waste, Farm yard manures, crop waste along with silage. We do this as part of a whole farm approach where food is produced to feed the nation, alongside crops and wastes from the whole chain cycle.
In doing so, we produce renewable electricity, renewable natural gas and renewable vehicle fuel. We can now also capture the CO2 from the process to produce carbon which is blended with the bi -product from the digestion process to produce a rich renewable fertiliser, high in carbon and avoids the use of artificial fertiliser.
The end result is a near zero carbon renewable fuel that can power tractors, HGVs, and heat our homes. The bi product returns carbon and nutrients to the soils, helping to produce food and energy whilst having minimal impact on climate change and biodiversity.
