The gunners will be a making a visit to the Saint James Park for their season opening match against Newcastle United and Unai Emery will be hoping that he has a full squad at his disposal by then.
Arsenal will however come into this match without two of their first team players as a report by the Daily Mail claims that the chances of the gunners having Rob Holding at the start of the season are now slim because his knee injury will not have got fully healed in August.
Rob Holding missing the start of the season will be a huge blow for Arsenal because he was one of the top performing players when Unai Emery’s side went on an unbeaten run of 22 matches last season. The gunners looked a bit stable at the back when he was in the starting eleven.
The young centre back was very comfortable on the ball and the gunners never lost a single match in the sixteen matches that he played before he was injured after a collision with Manchester United’s Rashford at the Old Trafford. They however claim that he will start full training in August but a return date is not communicated.
Hector Bellerin will also not take part in the season opening match according to the same report and this is even a bigger blow as the gunners will struggle to get a back up for him during this summer because of their tight transfer budget. It is claimed that the Spaniard will miss the first few weeks of the new season to continue his recovery.

Knox student Maurice Harris offers advice to the transitional school board governing St. Louis’s public schools.
The face of public education in Saint Louis is changing. Although court challenges continue, the Cityâ€™s school board has become superseded by a new transitional board appointed by Gov. Matt Blunt, Mayor Francis G. Slay and Lewis Reed, president of the Board of Aldermen.
Itâ€™s a change that makes sense: During the past four years, the Cityâ€™s school board has devolved into a group where members attack each other and those who criticize them for failing to do the job they were elected to do. This bickering has taken focus off of the school districtâ€™s worsening financial situation and declining student achievement. The new transitional school board should keep a few things in mind if it wants to avoid the same problems created by the elected board.
First: Do the job you were created to do. The transitional school boardâ€™s primary focus is to stabilize the districtâ€™s governance and finances. The elected board had tried to micromanage the day-to-day operations of the school district – a job that should be left to the superintendent, who is responsible for implementing district policies and regulations, and developing educational plans of the district. This role is filled better by one person than by a panel filled with people who have conflicting goals, and who canâ€™t be present every day to make sure the district is running smoothly.
When elected officials misunderstand the school boardâ€™s proper place in public education, a power struggle can form between the board and the district administrators, with both groups trying to maintain a greater amount of control over the district. If the transitional school board wants to succeed where past boards have failed, it should leave education to the superintendent and the administration, focusing instead on the finances.

The island of Andros has for long been recognised as the Bahamas’ foremost destination for Bonefishing. And since the early 1990’s Bair’s Lodge has become highly regarded as providing the best fishing that South Andros has to offer.
Ideally situated between the South Bight and Curly Cut Cays, Bair’s Lodge accesses some of the most remote flats, while also providing many sheltered locations to cater for different wind conditions. The Lodge is located in Little Creek, and access is via Congo Town airport – a 1 hour’s flight from Miami.
Andros has become synonymous with ‘big’ bonefish. And flats such as Grassy Creek, Deep Creek, the Water Cays and Curly Cut Cays in South Andros are where the ‘giants’ are commonly found. Most flats are ideal for wading.
While Bair’s Creek is predominantly a bonefish destination, the occasional tarpon and permit may be found also. Other flats and reef species that are common are barracuda, jacks and various types of snapper. The Lodge enjoys some the most under-fished flats on Andros.
Offshore fishing for billfish species such as wahoo, tuna and Dorado can be arranged, subject to season.
In addition to the quality of its fishing, the Lodge itself has come to represent the benchmark in terms of quality guiding, superb food, comfortable accommodation and courteous hospitality.
The Lodge has capacity for 6 rods, with 3 double, en suite, air-conditioned rooms. Further facilities include a dining room, sitting room, fly-tying table, telephone and a fly shop fully equipped with flies, rods, lines, selected items of flats wear and local crafts.
Meals include beautifully prepared Bahamian specialities, consisting largely of deliciously fresh seafood. Maid and laundry service is provided.
Bonefish: All year
Reef Species: All year
Billfish: May to July
Non-anglers may indulge themselves in snorkelling, bird watching, visits to the Androsia fabric factory and maybe island hopping by private charter from Congo Town.
Rates – 2019:
A 7 Night/6 Fishing Day Package rate is US$6,150/person/week, shared, depending on season. Supplements are available for single room and/or single skiff. Non-angler rates are approx. 40% less.
Bookings can be taken for shorter periods.
Included: Lodging, meals, open bar, guided fishing, fishing license, transportation between Bair’s Lodge and Congo Town Airport and loaner fishing equipment (rods, reels and lines)
A 50% deposit will secure a reservation. The balance becomes payable 60 days before commencement of the programme.

Colonization of the deep sea by fishes.
Bottom Line: Analysis of maximum depth of occurrence of 11 952 marine fish species shows a global decrease in species number (N) with depth (x; m): log10 N = -0·000422x + 3·610000 (r(2) = 0·948).The slopes for the Classes Myxini (-0·000488) and Actinopterygii (-0·000413) follow this trend but Chondrichthyes decrease more rapidly (-0·000731) implying deficiency in ability to colonize the deep sea.Deep-sea invasive families such as Ophidiidae and Liparidae make the greatest contribution to fish fauna at depths >6000 m.

’There is a huge attraction to MGAs for talent,’ says director
MGAs are taking an “increasing share of wallet” from brokers and now form a “fundamental part” of brokers’ placement strategies in the UK.
That was according to Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA) chief executive Mike Keating, who spoke as part of a panel during Insurance Times’ Navigating Excellence: A Deep Dive into the 2024 MGA Ratings webinar.
Hosted yesterday (7 February 2024), the webinar was chaired by Insurance Times head of research Savan Shah, who was also joined by MPR Underwriting director Tim Jones and Geo Underwriting sales director Karen Jackman.
Keating explained: ”Frankly, I can only see a continuing tailwind where MGAs will continue to innovate and provide an unparalleled service level.”
Jones added: ”Seven years ago there might have been a thought that MGAs were a bit of a trend or fragile option, but the track record has increased confidence within the insurance sector around the MGA model.”
The panellists noted a number of key reasons for the continuining success of MGAs and primarily highlighted the importance of providing good service to brokers.
Keating explained: ”MGAs were already getting a larger share of wallet before Covid, but once Covid hit MGAs did not miss a heartbeat in terms of their delivery to brokers during an extremely challenging time.
“MGAs continute to provide access decision makers and a level of service [which allows] brokers absolute confidence that they can go back to their client and say they will get renewal terms or a new business quotation for you.”
The webinar panel also discussed the issue of talent in the underwriting community, agreeing that the MGA model provided opportunities for skilled underwriters to work “on the front line”.
Jones explained: ”There is a huge attraction to MGAs for talent. MGAs come in lots of different shapes and sizes and people that have huge amounts of experience want to be able to use that experience in a more direct and flexible way.”
The advantage of MGAs in terms of service to brokers is also seen in the smaller size of organisations, where there is better “continuity of underwriting staff for multiple years” that provides stable relationships and trust, added Jones.
Keating also noted that the operational models of MGAs were an attractive element for talented underwriters.
He explained: ”It’s just the nature of very large organisations that agility and innovation to create a programme that is designed for brokers can be slightly stifled, which is actually leading that talent moving from insurers into the MGA world.”
Talking about the business proposition for MPR Underwriting, Jones said: ”One of the areas we felt was declining a little bit in the UK regional space [when we set up MPR seven years ago] was direct underwriter access and underwriter service.”
Because of this, MPR and many other MGAs have emphasised “service excellence and accessibility to quality underwriters who know what they’re doing and will come back quickly”.

A red 1980 Ford F-150 Customized
While the Ford F-150's history officially began in 1975, earlier vehicles laid the groundwork for America's preferred lorry|Ford
You can debate practically anything concerning cars and trucks as well as trucks, yet one thing is difficult to suggest: Ford F-150 is the indisputable heavyweight champ of American roads. No lorry has actually been even more crucial or marketed more models given that this pickup's debut in 1975. Since 2017, the F-150 and its heavy-duty equivalents topped the sales graphes for 35 straight years.
That's quite a run, as well as these trucks defeated the competition in their segment for also longer (40 successive years). However the F-Series pick-ups didn't appeared of nowhere during the 1970s. Ford released its famous pick-up back in 1948, just after The second world war. Before the F-1 debut that year, the automaker's trucks were merely customized cars.
The 1948 design altered that, as well as the F-Series proceeded its development into the 21st century. These days, the F-150 and heavy-duty versions sporting activity one of the most sophisticated technology and also interior comfort that pickup trucks have actually ever before seen. It certainly didn't begin in this way. Below are 25 snapshots of Ford's F-Series pick-ups-- from the earliest days of its precursors to the current off-road conqueror.
1. Ford Design T vehicle
1925 Ford Design T vehicle
1925 Ford Version T truck|The Henry Ford
To locate the beginnings of Ford vehicles, we need to go right back to the 1910s, when the automaker converted the Design T into a pickup. As the picture shows, this lorry was little bit greater than a roadster with a flatbed fitted over the back wheels. Nevertheless, also such a standard configuration got products moving in the very early days of consumer transport.
2. Greater energy in the 1930s
1932 Ford Roadster pickup
By 1932, Ford trucks improved considerably in the energy department|Ford
While there was apparent allure for a Model T vehicle, Ford improved upon the idea with the Version An and also Model B. The bed was longer and also the weight distribution much better, so there was a lot of appeal for truck customers throughout the Depression, specifically with the arrival of the truck's V8 engine. Yet it was still a roadster and had its share of constraints.
3. Joining the 1940s battle effort
1941 Ford Express
Ford trucks entered into the battle initiative after 1941|Ford
The hardtop, long-bed truck principle materialized by the late 1930s, as well as by the time 1941 designs showed up, there were numerous choices for consumers. Among the options were new V6 engines to support the V8 as well as four-cylinder alternatives. Ford obtained both the grille designing as well as the underlying system from cars and trucks below, as well as released extra truck plants by 1941 in case the United States got in the battle. Customer production ended for several years after the Pearl Harbor intrusion.
4. Birth of the F-Series

Ford F-1 truck from its launching year|Ford
Following World War II, Ford launched its very first brand new truck platform with eight different versions. From the half-ton F-1 to the three-ton F-8, customers had lots of options. Engine alternatives varied from a 95-horsepower V6 to a 100-horsepower V8. F-Series trucks began with a simple, practical appearance as well as greater usefulness than its precursors.
5. F-100 marks a new generation

In 1953, Ford commemorated its 50th wedding anniversary with the intro of second generation F-Series models. The front grille changed substantially (new engines additionally showed up), however this redesign was much more substantial. An enhanced V8 engine, longer measurements, better presence, and also automatic transmission were introduced. So were hood ornaments as well as the classification we identify today: F-100 and also F-250 replaced the 3 lightest pick-ups in the lineup.
6. Even more power for 1954

Updates for F-Series vehicles continued throughout the 2nd generation While the wraparound windscreen used enhanced visibility for drivers, updated power specifications expanded their choices on the work website. 6 cyndrical tube engines maxed out at 115 horses by 1954, while the V8 engine forged ahead to 130 horsepower. Even more power stopped by the 1956 model year, with the F-Series V8 engine delivering up to 173 horses, according to Edmunds.
7. F-Series 3rd generation.

You can't help looking modification in the face when contrasting the second and also 3rd generations of F-Series trucks A square grille as well as increase the variety of headlights greeted Ford truck consumers starting in 1960. 3 years previously, the 1957 models debuted the pick-up's broader taxi and also other updates. Beginning in 1959, Ford began providing 4x4 in factory versions.
8. Fourth generation Ford trucks.

1963 Ford F-250|Ford
With 4x4 capability and also over 200 horse power arriving by 1965, fourth generation Ford trucks continued the march to the modern period. Super Responsibility trucks had actually made their launching in 1958, as well as this shot from 1963 is a consider the version year's Ford F-250. Two headlights returned for those who operated by night.
9. Debut of the Ranger
1967 Ford F-100 Ranger
1967 F-100 Ranger|Ford
Beginning with the F-Series's fifth generation, truck customers might select from three trims: base, personalized, and also Ranger. Going with the Ranger indicated grassy floors, a standard chrome grille, and also more comfy seats. By 1970, prior to 5th generation designs ended their run, a fourth trim (XLT) got in the picture.
10. More design and functionality

1971 Ford F-250|Ford
Regulations mandated side reflectors starting in 1968, and also this durable model from 1971 demonstrate how Ford rolled that right into a badging possibility. An upgraded V8 engine currently delivered up to 220 horse power. Meanwhile, the unrelenting restyling of the grille proceeded apace.
11. A powerhouse 6th generation

Sixth-generation (1973 to 1979) F-Series vehicles were impressive for a number of reasons, but we'll begin with the arrival of SuperCab for 1974.2017 escape raptor grill
Dodge had spearheaded the pickup with extra seats, as well as Ford felt obliged to react. Yet one more V8 engine got in the picture also. However America's favorite vehicle was about to be birthed.
12. Birth of the Ford F-150

1975 Ford F-150|Ford
Why was the F-150 needed? By the mid-1970s, consumers found themselves captured between the not-quite-capable-enough F-100 and also the magnificent F-250. This design bridged the gap beginning in 1975, and concerning one third of F-Series sales were comprised of F-150s that year. While America celebrated its bicentennial in 1976, F-Series vehicles began their run atop the sales list that remains to now.
13. The definitive seventh generation

F-150 Ranger from the 1980 model year|Ford
To place the seventh generation's impact in point of view, we count on historian James W. Wagner. "The 1980 model was a breakthrough generation," Wagner stated. "It was all new-- probably the best modification in 40 years-- and had a solid sob story with the twin I-beam front suspension. It seems from that point on, things really went Ford's method regarding vehicles were worried."
14. Personalized plans and also fatality to F-100

By 1985, a new focus on design as well as-- a lot more notably-- lifestyle had actually gotten in the picture|Ford
Beginning in the very early 1980s, Ford truck consumers can design their associate personalized paint packages. The brand-new concentrate on way of living prompted advertising pictures similar to this one showcasing a family members appreciating a day by the lake. These trucks supplied at work as well as fit enough to take pleasure in after hrs, Ford recommended using its marketing. Note the blue-oval emblem making its opening night on the grille. F-100 manufacturing finished in 1983.
15. Enter eighth generation

Beginning with the 1987 design year, Ford F-Series trucks had actually entered their 8th generation. Wraparound car park lights and also basic fuel shot were two essential upgrades. F-350 as well as heavier designs entered into a new Super Duty line. The newly streamlined grille appreciated a long run with the following generations.
16. New styling hints after 1991

In the last years of the F-Series's eighth generation, vehicle fans got brand-new efficiency and also styling bundles. Amongst them, the durable service bundle made the task for snow plows less complicated. For 1991, the "Nite" plan supplied a blacked-out F-150 for customers wanting to stand out from the myriads of Ford vehicle proprietors.
17. The high-performance F-150

As of 1992, when the 9th generation F-Series made its launching, Ford had taken pleasure in well over a decade on top of America's sales charts. Naturally, the automaker saw a possibility to experiment and also released a performance design with the Unique Lorry Team in its inaugural year. Using its exceptional handling, this 1993 SVT F-150 Lightning could equal or defeat a 1993 Ford Mustang GT in lengthy track runs.
18. More ninth generation changes

In addition to new performance versions, the Ford F-Series likewise obtained major cosmetic upgrades in its ninth generation Designers were seeking to interest yet another young generation of consumers. An unique Eddie Bauer trim got in the picture in 1995.
19. F-Series marks its 10th generation.

Major adjustments shown up with the 10th generation of F-Series trucks that commenced in 1997. The nameplate celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1998 and (to note its modernity) Ford dropped chrome from the grille as well as included more curves than these trucks had actually sported in decades. Sturdy trucks obtained their very own F-Series Super Task line starting in 1999.
20. F-Series for the 21st century

The initial redesign of the brand-new millennium brought a brand new system for the F-150 (2004) as well as, ultimately, for the Super Responsibility trucks (2008 ). Designers had actually emphasized even higher comfort as well as styling in the flagship pickup for the 11th generation This design cycle had a really short run, and ended at the beginning of the Great Economic crisis.
21. A brawnier 12th generation.

Wartime America seemed to apply its impact on the 12th generation of F-Series trucks. There was no doubt the strength of the 2009 F-150 with its vibrant grille as well as hostile stance. Midway through the model cycle (2011 ), Ford confronted rising fuel costs with the initial 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine in the F-150.
22. Super Obligation grows in track record

Toward the end of the 12th generation of F-Series vehicles, Ford Super Responsibility designs diverted close to excellence. The 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel engine came to be an alternative in 2011. A couple of years later, with a number of decades in guides and also countless models on the roadway, iSeeCars.com counted more F-250 Super Duty trucks over 200,000 miles than any other lorry.
23. The aluminum F-150

If you think of serious automaker gambles, the 13th generation F-150 is near the first. After numerous years atop the sales charts, Ford left steel for an aluminum truck body-- and it worked. The new F-150 became the initial pickup to get a luxury NHTSA security rating and also an Insurance policy Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety and security Select classification. Now that the outcomes are in, we can claim Ford toenailed the redesign and just boosted the credibility of its front runner truck.
24. The post-apocalyptic warrior
2017 Ford Raptor
2017 Ford Raptor|Micah Wright/Autos Cheat Sheet
If you find yourself stuck when traveling after an armageddon, we suggest flagging down a 2017 Raptor. Ford took the idea of an efficiency pick-up as well as kept up it right here, furnishing Raptor with 510 pound-feet of torque and significant interior conveniences. However, we'll just mention the very attractive visual cues. We can't think of a cooler-looking pickup when driving.
25. The 2018 edition
Ford F-150 for the 2018 version year
2018 Ford F-150|Ford
One century after Ford debuted its very first Version T truck, the 2018 F-150 got in the scene. New progressed collision security technology as well as the F-150's ideal towing abilities were essential upgrades. At the same time, conventional start-stop functions made it much more economical than any kind of previous design. While we're unsure concerning the next century of vehicle manufacturing, Ford shut its very first 100 years at work stylishly.

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey – The CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals continue on Sunday as Group C winner Trinidad & Tobago takes on 2013 runner-up Panama in a mouthwatering match-up at MetLife Stadium.
Here are Three Points to consider ahead of the game:
1) Soca Warriors are rolling
Having played 450 minutes without scoring a goal, expectations were tempered for Trinidad & Tobago ahead of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Now, however, after winning Group C on seven points, while averaging an impressive three goals per outing, those offensive struggles are but a distant memory. Clearly, Stephen Hart’s men have been one of the tournament’s brightest teams. After downing Guatemala in their opener 3-1, the Soca Warriors then topped fellow quarterfinalist Cuba in their second group stage fixture. Those victories set up a Group C decider in Charlotte this past Wednesday, where the Caribbean runner-up stormed back from a 2-0 deficit to tie six-time champion Mexico 4-4, in one of the most exciting matches in recent Gold Cup history. With confidence at an all-time high and the goals now pouring in, sky’s the limit for Trinidad. The only question is: Can they keep it up?
2) Can Panama live up to their potential?
On paper, Panama is one of the tournament’s most talented teams. However, the 2013 Gold Cup runner-up labored through the group stage, drawing all three matches en route to a third place finish in Group A. While those performances proved enough to see them into the quarterfinals, a much improved showing from the Canaleros will be required on Sunday as they get set to square off with one of the tournament’s hottest teams. Panama will need a strong showing from Blas Perez and Luis Tejada (20 career Gold Cup goals combined) if its potential is to be fulfilled.
3) King Kenwyne
It was an uneventful start to the tournament for Trinidad & Tobago striker Kenwyne Jones. One of the most powerful goal scorers in the region, Jones — a member of the Soca Warriors’ 2006 World Cup squad — found opportunities difficult to come by throughout the opening two matches. In the Group C finale against Mexico, though, Jones was unstoppable, slotting home a beautiful second-half goal and playing a role in two others. It was a vintage performance from the former Stoke City man, who will again have to be at his best on Sunday if the Soca Warriors are going to advance.

St. Landry-Evangeline United Way was first established as the United Givers Fund of Greater Opelousas in 1957 through the vision and leadership of the Opelousas Womans Club members, Mrs. Lorena Christian and Mrs. Edna Kurtz. In 1981, the name changed to United Way of St. Landry, and finally in 1996, The St. Landry-Evangeline United Way.
In 2003, the United Community Health Center was established by St. Landry-Evangeline United Way in Eunice, Louisiana to provide critical medical services and prescription medication to the working uninsured and under insured. The Center was held up the nation as the standard for free community clinics, and received recognition from United Way of America. Today, the clinic, now called the Eunice Community Health Center is independent of United Way, and continues to provide the community with much needed medical services.
In 2007, St. Landry-Evangeline United Way celebrated 50 years of giving and doing what matters!
In 2008, St. Landry-Evangeline United Way piloted The Dolly Parton Imagination Library, a program that provides free, age-appropriate books to children age 0-5. Once again, setting the standard, the program is now replicated by several Louisiana United Ways in the state, and continues to grow throughout the state.
In 2010, a ten-month strategic planning process resulted in the St. Landry-Evangeline United Way's New Horizon Plan, a Roadmap to Success. The plan sets our course toward new partnerships and collaborations that will improve and strengthen our community and increase United Way's value as a community partner and leader.

So, here it is: In this exclusive clip from the film, Baxter questions Trump about his "bullying" of Scottish locals, including the aforementioned 90-year-old and Michael Forbes, a farmer who refused to sell his land to Trump. The billionaire later called Forbes "an embarrassment to Scotland" who "lives like a pig."
See also: "Donald Trump lawyers tried to stop BBC showing Scottish bullying film," and "Donald Trump denies allegations of gender-based discrimination from former employee."
Trump is, in fact, a RINO stalking horse for Hillary. Bill Clinton encouraged Trump to run for the GOP nomination, and Bill wouldn't do that if he thought Trump could beat Hillary in the general election.
Here is link to a Washington Post article confirming the conversation with Clinton took place:
I have watched clips of this. It shows Trump as a bully, ignoring private property rights so he can build a golf course. It will have no negative effect on his campaign. His supporters want a bully, a brawler, who ignores the law and what is right. Who will throw his ego around Washington, and bully Congress, the Supreme Court, etc... Someone like Hitler or Mussolini who will act as a dictator (but he will be our dictator they all think). I have spoken with some die hard Trump supporters, and they all think that is what we need to "fix" America. No Mike this documentary will strengthen their support for the " man who gets things done".
The movie illustrates very well what kind of "deals" Trump likes to make and how he will colude with the government to get what he wants. Link to full, free video on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/697241
Respectfully, the cutline:
"Alec Baldwin and Robert F Kennedy Jr. both make appearances in "A Dangerous Game"
instantly tells me ALL I need to know about this motion picture's leftist agenda and obviously targeted purpose.
Perhaps film-maker (cough) Michael Moore and anti-war mom /activist Cindy Sheehan had previous scheduling conflicts or their valuable opinions on Trump would have been solicited, as well.
I agree. Trump appears to be a childish bully who throws temper tantrums. He will not get my vote in the primary. I will reluctantly vote for him only in the general election if he has the nomination. I hope that doesn't happen. I think Ted or Marco would make a much better President. Heck, I think Carly Fiorina would make a better President than Trump!
- Old Greybeard
The libtards can't wait for the nomination of Trump, they will have him for lunch, dinner & a snack afterwards, don't ya know!
None of the current crop of clowns will get my vote and I will not continue to play the voting fraud game. These arrogant fools have no intentions of restoring the constitution, only the perpetuity of a worldwide scam and injustice. The problem is just going to get worse if the populace does not see the lies in front of their faces. Only the people themselves can bring about positive & meaningful change, not voting in a schmuck fraudster to do the job. But first you have to get past the lies...
It's looking more and more like I'm gonna be somewhere away from civilization with my dog that week. I do not want to watch the final week of the campaign and I sure-as-shootin' don't want to be around for election day. Gila National Forest, here I come!
With the growing list of prominent socialists that say they will leave the country if trump is elected.................
Eurofags leaving is bad in what way?
"if voting made any difference, it would be illegal" - Mark Twain. The age of progressivism, begun in the so called Enlightenment, nears it's inevitable demise. The equalitarian utopia will go down; may our children's children find freedom in a peaceful new world.
I have realized in recent weeks that Trump is simply a plant to diminish support for actual conservatives (and I doubt he is aware of this). He has probably been more successful than anyone hoped for in becoming so popular. But I'm quite sure that once the primaries are over, if Trump is still a contender, he will be ANNIHILATED by the progressives (probably Clinton). This was the plan all along. Give Trump as much popularity as possible in the primaries and then if he is too successful when the primaries are over, crush him.
I won't vote for a potential dictator no matter whether a republican or not. I've always thought that it could be likely that a repub prez, ironically, would be the one to usher in a fullblown power move for reigning American despot. He's unprincipled and lawlessness is always wedded to that. Americans are, sadly, such sheep.
It's the Fall of the Roman Empire all over again and everyone's candidate is up for emperor.
That's it? I can't stand the man, but if that's the worse thing they can broadcast about him, that won't last 15 minutes in this news cycle.
Trump is not a common sense conservative or a libertarian; he is a member of the authoritarian wing of the progressive movement.
Anyone who stays home for the general election in November might as well go to the polls and vote for the damned Democrat. That kind of non-thinking gave Obama his second term, you idiots! Some of you idiots stayed home in 2012 because your damned preacher said that Romney was in a cult because he is a Mormon. I've got news for you: All churches are cults to one degree or another! Hey, Bad Cyborg: this messages is for you any any fool who non-thinks like you.
- Old Greybeard
Old Grey gets to own this crap. He's the Fudd, always telling people to vote for the guy who can win. Well, he got us way, a Congress chalk full of rinos, guys who could win, and they pissed off the electorate so badly that they are now voting in big portions fir a straight up DIRECT long time CLINTON supporter, a progressive piece of trash who couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it and does not care one lick avoid the Constitution.
Old Grey now wants to whine the same old tune that when his guy LOSES, just like we TOLD HIM he would...AGAIN....he will turn around and blame everybody else....again. still. Well guess what old Grey, your guy that can win garbage was trash then and it's trash now. It is YOUR fault because you BOW willingly and you grovel trying to project your failure onto everyone else. You caused this old Grey. Stand up and take a bow, you are so good at it, with all that practice. But one thing you DO NOT get to is blame those of us who WILL NOT EVER vote for democrats.
Democrats are traitors and while you think joining them is somehow winning makes you one too. So shove your holier than thou blame everyone else - for once OWN your own win AND the LOSS it brings in the general election. You EARNED it. Suck it up and accept that your way LOSES and that your blaming others makes you look like a 5 year old saying "not me" ate those cookies.
It's RIDICULOUS to keep blaming us for your REPEATED losses, so give it a rest.

China's skidding factory sector taps brakes on economic recovery
China's factory activity unexpectedly contracted in April as orders fell and poor domestic demand dragged on the sprawling manufacturing sector, a private survey showed on Thursday, imperilling the broader economic outlook for the second quarter.To get more china economy news latest, you can visit shine news official website.
The Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) fell to 49.5 in April from 50.0 in March. The 50-point index mark separates growth from contraction on a monthly basis.The reading missed expectations of 50.3 in a Reuters poll and marked the first contraction since January when the exit from zero-COVID policies led to a wave of infections across China and briefly hit production lines.
It echoes a similarly disappointing official PMI released on Sunday and reflects the unevenness of China's economic recovery, with the services sector so far outperforming manufacturing and helping the world's second-largest economy grow a robust 4.5% year-on-year in the first quarter.
Data this week showed tourism spending during the five-day May Day holiday that ended on Wednesday rebounded to pre-COVID-19 levels. However, given a subdued property market and weak demand from overseas, analysts say the economy faces persistent headwinds as the government aims to achieve full-year growth of around 5%.”The latest survey readings are consistent with still rapid growth at the start of the second quarter, but momentum is slowing relative to what was achieved in the first quarter,” said Julian Evans-Pritchard, head of China Economics at Capital Economics.
Production growth slowed for the second straight month in April as weaker-than-anticipated new orders dampened output, the private Caixin survey showed.
New orders shrank for the first time in three months, although new export orders swung back to growth from a contraction in March.
Muted client demand led manufacturers to cut their staffing levels at the quickest pace since January. This was mostly through attrition, though some firms also trimmed headcount to cut costs.
Both input costs and selling prices at factories slumped at the quickest rate in about seven years, with the steep drops in selling prices spurred by attempts by firms to attract new business.Despite the downbeat data, manufacturers' optimism picked up with firms citing new product releases and supportive government policies. Investment in new equipment was also expected to drive growth, some said.
The soft demand has caught the attention of policymakers with the politburo, a top decision-making body of the ruling Communist Party, stressing last week that boosting demand is key for a sustained recovery.
The latest PMIs may lower expectations for the economy in the second quarter, said Zhou Hao, economist at Guotai Junan International.

On Sunday, March 15, the OLT team volunteered at the Children’s Festival 2015 at First
Fleet Park, Sydney.
This festival was a chance for Australians to celebrate multiculturalism, with the theme of “I am a proud Australian.” Children of many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds showed up in traditional outfits and participated in the parade and musical performances.
The festival also included a range of activities for the children, and our volunteers assisted
with some of those. OLT members arrived at 8am to provide support with the set-up and
preparations for the festival, and from 10:30 some members were in charge of the coloring- in competition and also did face painting, which proved to be a highly popular activity and kept them occupied right until 2pm. Meanwhile, other members assisted with the parade, with general maintenance and clean up, on stand-by to support any activity. The OLT team had lunch and left at around 2:30, after investing a lot of energy into this project. It was a very rewarding experience and an opportunity to give to the Australian community.
Since it first began in 1999, the Children’s Festival has been running annually in Bankstown, but this is only its second year in Sydney city. Mark Burfield, one of our contacts, is a co-chair of the Children’s Festival Organisation, and OLT have been volunteering for many years now and we hope to continue to do so in the future.
The Oceania Leadership Team members organized a four-day workshop from the 5th to the 8th of June, 2015, for high school-aged youth in New Zealand that focused on giving them a better understanding of who they are and what they want to achieve in life.
The workshop included a variety of interactive activities, talks and discussions, and all of these things as well as the meals were prepared by the OLT members themselves, with the guidance of the staff. This gave the members the opportunity to take ownership and feel responsible for all areas of the workshop. It was a great learning experience for them and they also created strong bonds with the young people over the four-day period.


WSU Vancouver’s Marquee Diversity Event to Feature the Massive Monkees Dance Crew
VANCOUVER, Wash. – Massive Monkees will bring their energetic, hip-hop stylings onto the dance floor at Washington State University Vancouver’s Marquee Diversity event at 7 p.m. Nov. 15 in the Firstenburg Student Commons. Hosted by Student Diversity, the event is free and open to registered guests on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, visit http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/mde.
Massive Monkees is comprised of more than 25 spirited break dancers known as “b-boys” and “b-girls.” The Seattle-based team is famous for its original moves and dynamic group routines that have won numerous accolades. Many of the group’s members are full-time artists who are involved in mentoring youth in Seattle schools and community centers, helping to diffuse negative perceptions of hip-hop and break dancing.
Bola Majekobaje, assistant director of Student Diversity, believes Massive Monkees will serve as a unique and memorable installment of the Marquee Diversity series.
“We strive for diversity of speakers and perspectives in our Marquee Diversity events,” said Majekobaje. “It has been a while since we have hosted a performance-based Marquee Diversity event, and we are excited to bring such a high-energy, internationally known group to our campus.”
Phillip Nguyen, the Student Diversity peer mentor responsible for coordinating the event, views Massive Monkees as a performance that goes beyond the confines of the dance floor.
“In addition to bringing a fun and innovative performance to campus, Massive Monkees will challenge the stereotype of what it means to be an Asian Pacific Islander. They are breaking the molds established by media and society,” said Nguyen.
Since coming together in 1999, Massive Monkees have performed in front of more than 1 million people on an annual basis. They have shared the stage with Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Missy Elliot, LL Cool J, Ludacris, 50 Cent and Akon. They have also been featured in season four of the MTV show “America’s Best Dance Crew.” Additionally, Massive Monkees made history in 2012, by becoming the first American crew to win “R-16 Korea,” an international b-boy competition held annually in South Korea.
Held semiannually, WSU Vancouver’s Marquee Diversity event features nationally recognized speakers and performers with the goal of bringing issues of diversity, social justice and multiculturalism to the community. Speakers and performers are selected by a committee of students and staff.
WSU Vancouver is located at 14204 N.E. Salmon Creek Ave., east of the 134th Street exit from either I-5 or I-205 and is accessible via C-Tran bus service. Parking for this event is free in Orange Lot 2 beginning at 6:30 p.m.

We had a lovely day out at Hawes yesterday. Hawes is a wonderful market town in upper Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. We visited the Wensleydale Cheese production centre and the Dales Countryside Museum which told the whole history of the area. The best bit of the museum was at the end where you board a steam train and walk through years of history with artefacts from the beginning of the twentieth century. There were lots of old items for children to play with and even a basket of rags on the floor so that you could try your hand at rag rug making. The weather was glorious and we found a wonderful pub where we sat out in the garden which was surrounded with old stone walling, beautiful flowers and old pieces from the past like an old butchers bicycle, milk churns etc. Over the stone wall was the most spectacular view of the hills.
Now back to work. Lots of orders to get ready for posting.
A basket full of embellishments ready and waiting to be processed.

I am "Good Morning America's" technology contributor but also a lifelong athlete. I played varsity sports all through high school and college. I played rugby for 15 years, including a brief stint on the U.S. national team. I ski, mountain bike, surf and run. And I am probably just like you: I hate it when my jeans get too tight.
So combining my love of gadgetry and my quest for fitness, I should be able to point you to any number of devices that will help you lose weight: body-fat analyzing scales, treadmills, hand-held diet trackers, the latest diet powders and pills … The list of products marketed to dieters is seemingly endless.
The truth is, weight loss is very simple. You don't need to spend a lot of money, buy a bunch of gadgets or collect a gym's worth of exercise equipment. To help you lose weight, I am recommending only three tech products, which cost less than $100 (I'm assuming you already have two of them).
If your caloric output is 3,500 calories more than your caloric input, you will lose a pound. Simply put, it takes 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat. If you want to lose 10 pounds, you must reduce food intake and increase exercise output in the amount of roughly 35,000 calories.
Step one: Know your daily dietary intake
If you know nothing about food, you probably eat indiscriminately and have no idea what's fattening and what's healthy. If you know nothing about food, you need to go to a dietitian. These are basically food and diet consultants who will give you tools to understand the food you eat, what types of food you need and how much you should be eating each day.
Most of us, though, have grown up food-conscious. According to one national study, 80 percent of women have dieted by the time they are 18. Food labels on packaging also give us a pretty good idea about calories, but many of us eat much bigger portions than the serving sizes allot. You may need to check your portions with a scale, but using a Web site like nutritiondata.com -- http://www.nutritiondata.com/nutrient-search.html -- you can get a good idea of how many calories you consume each day.
Step Two: Record your daily intake
It is a royal pain to count calories, but to get a handle on out-of-control eating, commit to counting your calories for at least two weeks. The cheapest way to record your intake is to make an Excel spreadsheet listing everything you eat and its caloric value. Excel is basically your computer's version of a lined notebook with a calculator built in to it. Many Windows computers have Excel already installed. If not, there are free downloadable calorie tracking programs, like this one: http://www.download.com/CalTrack-Pocket-PC-Calorie-Tracker/3000-2161_4-10207747.html?tag=lst-0-1.
Use the spreadsheet to record and total the calories you consume every day, and you will have your caloric input.
Step Three: Use a heart rate monitor to count the calories you burn.
A heart rate monitor consists of an elastic strap that goes around your chest and a wristwatch. The chest strap counts your heart beats and sends your pulse in beats per minute to the watch. You can use your pulse rate as a way to monitor exertion -- and the harder you exercise, the more calories you burn.
Many of the newer heart rate monitors will calculate the number of calories you have burned in a given workout. When you begin your run or workout in the gym, you start the chrono function on the watch to keep track of how long you exercise. A simple algorithm runs in the background using your weight, the length of your workout, and your average heart rate over the duration of the exercise. For me, a 30-minute run burns about 350 calories. If you are lighter than my 145 pounds, you will burn fewer calories. If you are heavier, you'll burn more.
I have tried many heart rate monitors: Oregon Scientific, Polar, Freestyle. The best, in my opinion, is the Timex Ironman Triathlon Digital Heart Rate Monitor. It retails for about $90 (I got mine online at www.titleninesports.com). It has very clear instructions and an easy-to-use interface. There are men's and women's versions: I would stand by any of the Timex heart rate monitors so long as they are the models that also count calories.
Step Four: Record the number of calories burned
Whether you are exercising at the gym, running on the trails or working hard in your yard, count the calories burned from your efforts and record that number in your Excel spreadsheet. But there's a catch, you first have to figure out your Basic Metabolic Rate calories.
What are Basic Metabolic Rate calories?
Each day we burn about 60 percent of our energy just living: breathing, sleeping, growing new hair, blinking our eyes. The rate at which your body burns calories "just living" is called your basic metabolic rate, or BRM. One method of figuring out your BRM is the the Harris-Benedict formula:
Adult male: 66 + (6.3 x body weight in pounds.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years) Adult female: 655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
You also burn calories when you eat; if you eat 2,000 calories, it takes about 200 calories to process all that food, roughly 10 percent of your caloric intake.
So my BRM is (655) + (4.3 X 145lbs) + (4.7 X 67 inches) ? (4.7X 35) = 1429). 1429 + 200 (calories burned while eating) = 1629.
I need 1,629 calories to live. If I consume 1,629 calories in a day and go for a 30-minute run burning 350 calories, I have a differential of -350 calories. If I can maintain that balance for 10 days, I should burn 3,500 calories and lose a pound. Track your exercise, food intake and weight loss (I hope) in your spreadsheet to see if the math holds true for you.
One thing I like about this quantitative approach to weight loss is that you see why you are or are not dropping pounds. If you can't burn more than you consume, there's no mystery. You are in control!
Step 5: Assimilate the habits and then stop recording everything
It is incredibly tedious to record all the food you eat and all the calories you burn. The point is not to record this information forever, but to see where your current habits are failing you. Are you eating too much? Exercising too little? Or both?
Commit to recording for two weeks. You may find that it brings you great satisfaction. You can quantify what you accomplished each day. For me, writing down what I eat also forces me to be conscious. I can't just run to the cabinet and shove a handful of potato chips in my mouth. I have to think about how many calories my random snacking will cost.
I wish you the best of luck. Staying fit and within a healthy weight range is a lifelong battle. If a little tech can help along the way, I say use every tool you can find in the war on tight jeans.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Jameis Winston doesn’t make the best decisions. The Heisman Trophy-winning, National Championship-winning Florida State quarterback got a citation for allegedly shoplifting crab legs from Publix. Some people said he was arrested initially, but since publishing SB Nation changed its story to being cited.
UPDATE: Now Tallahassee.com is saying that nothing happened, despite the allegations. Good job, news media! This is officially the stupidest story about nothing so far of the year…
Crab legs from a Publix? How does one even go about stealing those? That’s about the least inconspicuous thing one could possibly steal. Since he was cited, not arrested, so I almost wonder if Winston forget to pay for them and just walked out the door with zero malicious intentions. Who knows…
As of now, at least we get some fantastic Photoshops out of it….

Netaji Azad Hind Fauj Smarak Nyas (NAHFSN): Trust
Netaji- Azad Hind Fauj Smarak Nyas was sponsored by Akhil Bharatiya Poorva Sainik Seva Parishad (ABPSSP). The Nyas owes its origin to a flag yatra by a dozen workers of the ABPSSP, from Moirang (Manipur) to the Red Fort in Delhi, in April 1997. The impressive and deeply symbolic flag hoisting ceremony within the precincts of the Red Fort culminated in a resolve to meaningfully engage in activities designed to perpetuate the memory of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army (INA) and undertakes programmes aimed at actualizing Netaji’s vision of free India.
The following events are conducted by the Nyas :-
a) Netaji Subhash Jyanti is conducted every year on his Birth Anniversary on 23rd Jan in various Schools and Colleges to make the youth of the country aware of the important role played by him during the Independence movement and unique sacrifices made by him in the interest of Nation.
b) Moirang Yatra ( 14th April ) is conducted every year with the aim of hoisting the National flag at Moirang on 14th April, in remembrance of the martyred soldiers of the Netaji’s Force (INA) and by paying tribute to the Netaji at his memorial, there.
Netaji’s Vision is our Mission
The Nyas seeks and invites wider association with individuals and organizations which are already working or wish to work together for making India a truly great nation.

Alan H. Cohen Best quotes
To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don’t wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now.
Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.
The same Source that gave you the idea, will give you the means to see it through.
You are doing better than you think you are.
You can always tell what you believe by what you are getting.
Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us.
Guilt: punishing yourself before God doesn’t.
Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, joy is what you want.
If you sense there must be more, there is more.
To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny.
You can only see in someone else what you see in yourself.
Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good.
You are in integrity when the life you are living on the outside matches who you are on the inside.

Engle, NM 87901, USA
The Buckhorn Ranch is a 511-head allotment located in Southern New Mexico. The +/-1,120 deeded-acre and +/-39,687 leased-acre ranch is well watered with 6 working wells, piped drinkers, earth tanks and miles of buried, poly water lines.
Hunting is special on this ranch with the large presence of mule deer, antelope and a strong Oryx herd. This rare hunting opportunity is highly sought after and as a landowner you will be guaranteed an opportunity for the Oryx hunt on your private land.
The headquarters of the ranch features a 3 bedroom home which has been updated in recent years. A shop, barn and set of corrals creates a very operational headquarters. Views of the mountain range can be enjoyed from the front porch and the headquarters sits at a higher elevation which allows great views of the expansive ranch property.
As mentioned, the ranch is very well watered thanks to 6 strong wells and extensive water pipelines. There are piped drinkers throughout the ranch and earthen water tanks which hold water very well. Each of the wells have been maintained and pumps and tanks are all in good order.
The ranch is just under a one-hour drive to Truth or Consequences and Elephant Butte lake which is New Mexico’s largest reservoir. The lake offers fantastic fishing opportunities as well as boating, water skiing and much more.


When Renault said that it was going to take a stab at running Pikes Peak in 2011 AND use a Dacia Duster to run the competition, a lot of people, shall we say, scoffed at that idea.
As it turns out, Renault was actually serious about the whole thing because the first photos of the Dacia Duster Pikes Peak have gone live. It seems a little ambitious for Renault to try to compete in one of the most famous - or infamous - hill climbing competitions in the world, especially considering when they’re using their low-cost, Romanian-based brand for the whole competition.
But this isn’t your ordinary Dacia Duster. While details are still limited, there are whispers going around that this particular Duster will carry a Nissan GT-R-sourced V8 engine that produces a staggering 850 horsepower. Last we checked, that’s a load of power, especially for a car that’s been stripped down to weigh just a little less than 900 kg (1,984 lbs).
The car is set to compete on June 26, 2011 at Pikes Peak, Colorado and will be piloted by Jean-Philippe Dayraut. We don’t know how competitive it’s going to be against the Imprezas of the competition, but there’s plenty of power under this Duster’s hood. And if you’ve got that covered, you stand a very good chance of being competitive.
Alain Prost, widely regarded as one of the fiercest Formula One drivers in history and the most heated rival of the late, great Ayrton Senna, is still hacking up race tracks in France these days, albeit on a much different terrain. The former Formula One Driver’s Champion’s competitive racing juices are now on full display at the Andros Trophy racing series, the national Ice Racing championship of France.
Last year, Prost raced behind the wheel of a Dacia Duster Ice Racer and proceeded to show everybody that despite his age, he still managed to finish runner-up for the season, trailing only two-time Andros champion Jean-Philippe Dayraut on-board his Fabia Skoda MKII.
This season, which is scheduled to begin on December 4th, Prost is looking to break through with his first Andros championship, and to help him achieve his goal, he’s got a brand new Dacia Duster Ice Racer waiting to be unleashed all over the icy terrains of France.
The new Duster Ice Racer underwent some engine and performance upgrades from last year’s model, giving Prost an even bigger chance to break the Skoda’s two-year stranglehold on the championship.
For one thing, the 55-year old racer is determined to prove that second place won’t be good enough this time around. “Last season, we were aware it would be tough to win the Trophée Andros with a new car, not to mention the fact that the program began at a relatively late stage” he said.
“This time round, my intention is to challenge for the title. We completed two very positive days of testing at Val Thorens last weekend. Our work on Duster has clearly paid dividends and we are convinced we have the means to make a strong start."
Head over past the jump to find out details about Prost’s new Duster Ice Racer.
Dacia has just launched the first SUV in the Romanian car maker’s history. Carrying the same name as the concept that made such a sensation at the Geneva Motor Show, the new Duster SUV will be released in the brand’s main markets starting in the spring of 2010.
The new Dacia Duster will be offered in both 4x2 and 4x4 versions powered by either a 1.6 Liter 16V 110 HP petrol engine or the optional 85 dCi and 105 dCi diesel engines. The SUV has a CO2 emission of less than 140g in its 4x2 format and makes less than 150g as far as the 4x4 versions are concerned. The new Duster SUV is just 4.31 meters long and 1.82 meters wide, designed to tackle all types of roads and tracks, all over the world. Showing off theie new venture’s abilities, Dacia has enlisted the help of Formula One Ferrari ace Alain Prost to campaign a purpose built modified Duster with the help of Renault Sport Technologies in the grueling Andros Ice Raceing Series.
