Democrats still pushing the “insurrection” narrative over the January 6th debacle are now joined by FEMA – The Federal Emergency Management Agency. Pelosi hired retired General Russel Honoré (AKA the “Ragin’ Cajun”) to lead a “9-11 style” investigation into what happened on January 6th. He has made some disturbing, biased remarks of late.
That 9-11 style investigation
Speaker Pelosi tapped retired Army LtGen Russel Honoré (pronounced ON er ray) to head the investigation. But he is well known partisan who has busily condemned Trump and other GOP members of Congress for some time.
He added: “I think once this all gets uncovered, it was complicit actions by Capitol Police.”
Honoré said an investigation needs to determine whether former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund “was … complicit along with the sergeant at arms in the House and the Senate.”
He added: “It gives appearance of complicity.”……The resurfaced comments come as some Republican lawmakers are criticizing Honoré, known for his role in the response to Hurricane Katrina, calling him an “extreme partisan.” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., tweeted this week that Honoré “should be the LAST person to head up an investigation of what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6th.”
Fox Feb 19, 2021
Calling himself a Republican (not), his views have been widely controversial and partisan for years. He was thought to run against a Republican incumbent in his home state of Louisiana in 2009, but he wisely told people that his views wouldn’t let him be elected. Hope to shout. He loves his horse (“Big Red”), and the troops, which is to his credit. The rest of it…not so much.
He even has a logo for his new station in life. A short trip through his Twitter feed gives us clues as to his views on everything from making sure you’re masked up to retweeting the idea that Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley were “in on” the January 6th debacle and should be run out of DC. At one point he even said former Acting Director of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf should also be “run out of DC.” Whether it’s his own tweets or ones he “retweeted,” there are problems in here:

You're right General. We have to address the fact that these insurgents, terrorists or whatever name you give them have infiltrated the highest ranks of the military, police, and other L.E.Os. This is why there was a lack of security & enforcement. Sadly, it will happen again.

FEMA joins the circus
FEMA says that the money it gets for combatting “terrorism” will now be targeted toward domestic terrorists because the “threat environment” has evolved. And they haven’t named a target, which is disturbing. The Democrat narrative that all Trump supporters are “terrorists” comes into play here.
“Since 2002, DHS has allocated more than $54 billion to states and territories to prevent and prepare for the threats that terrorist organizations pose. Almost 20 years later, the homeland security threat environment has evolved. As the threats evolve, so, too, must the grant programs intended to prepare communities for those threats.”
Who are the targets of the investigation? GOP Senators? Trump supporters? Trump himself? Or real extremists? It appears the Democrat narrative is the one this “investigation” will follow. To coin a phrase, these liberals are “stuck on stupid.”

The mammary glands are cutaneous glandular structures of the female.
a. Location. The mammary glands are located in the upper pectoral regions. On occasion, a mammary gland may be found elsewhere along the "milk line." The milk line extends from the axilla above to the inguinal region below.
b. Structure. Each mammary gland is made up of glandular tissue and associated ducts. These structures are embedded in FCT and fat.
c. Lactation. During pregnancy, the mammary glands respond to the estrogens and progesterone with additional growth. Toward the end of pregnancy, it begins to form a fluid substance, colostrum. Within 2 or 3 days after the baby is born, the breasts begin to secrete large quantities of milk instead of colostrum.
d. Importance of Nursing. One cannot overemphasize the importance of nursing (breast-feeding) the newborn.
(1) Human milk is the natural food of the newborn infant.
(2) Strong psychological effects accompany nursing. This is true for both the child and the mother.
(3) Initially after childbirth, the mammary gland secretes colostrum. Colostrum is not primarily a food item. In fact, the baby loses birth weight. Colostrum consists most importantly of antibodies that protect the newborn during the first 6 months of life.
(4) A baby may develop an upper respiratory infection. During suckling, it will inject some of the microorganisms into the milk ducts of the mammary gland. By the next feeding, the mammary gland has produced the antibodies appropriate for that infection.
e. Self-Examination. The female breast (mammary gland) is often a location for tumor growth. Thus, it is important for a woman to be able to examine her own breasts. During this self-examination, she must remember that a portion of the breast extends up into the axilla. (This portion is called the "axillary tail.")

The draft is going to happen today and the Padres have several picks. I don't claim to follow the draft very closely, but I'm more than willing to hear all about guys you think will be getting firesold away from the Padres in 8 years, so consider this an Open Thread.
Paul DePodesta has a post up about draft strategy and the thought of getting players who will be big leaguers as opposed to "high ceiling" guys. It's essentially one of the Moneyball themes to not become totally enamored with guys that look good in baseball pants and instead look for MLB caliber guys.
At this point, I'll settle for either one. If we're gonna field a sub .400 winning percentage, at least give me some eye candy. ROWR!

California: Two chemicals already present in green and black tea have been found to play an important role in normalizing blood pressure.
Scientists at the University of California (UCL), Iron, say that both types of tea contain chemicals that activate ion channel proteins in the blood vessels to relax the nerves and veins, thus lowering blood pressure.
This will also pave the way for the development of a new blood pressure medication. Dr. Jeffrey Abbott, a physiologist at UCL, and his partner Caitlin Redford, say that tea contains two catechin-type flavonoids. Each of these activates an ion channel in the blood vessels called the CNC5. This protein is abundant in smooth muscle where small and large blood vessels are also present.
It has been found that certain ingredients in tea quickly open the KCNQ5 channel. This way the veins do not constrict and the blood flow continues smoothly. That is why the increase in blood pressure can be controlled by activating this channel.
Another important point is that perhaps these two components of tea improve the blood vessels in such a way that it can reduce epilepsy and mental illness. However, he insisted that black tea should not be mixed with milk or powder but should be used like coffee.

Remember, remember the fifth of November? For many of our pets, it’s a date they would rather forget. However, by planning ahead and following some practical tips, you can help your pets feel safer and more secure during the firework season.
1. CREATE A SAFE SPACE Make a den or nest area where your dog can retreat to – somewhere they can feel safe and secure. This may be a spot where they naturally go to hide, such as under your bed, beneath the kitchen table or, if it’s a big enough space, the cupboard under the stairs. Encourage them to use this ‘refuge’ by putting their bed there, draping duvets and blankets over chairs to create a snug space, putting some long-lasting chew treats there, as well as an item of your clothing – your scent will help them to feel safe. Plan ahead and get your dog used to spending time in their den, associating it with good things, before firework season begins. The RSPCA has a video of helpful tips for dogs, cats and small pets, including how to create a Doggy Safe Den.
2. PROVIDE FACILITIES Cats will benefit from having plenty of different hiding places, something that is particularly important if you have more than one feline. Don’t forget to put litter trays out for each of them too.
3. PROTECT SMALL FURRIES Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and small indoor pets can be extremely frightened by bangs and flashes too. For those that usually live outside, try and move their hutch or enclosure somewhere more sheltered, such as into a quiet room of the house, or into a shed or empty garage. If this isn’t possible, cover it with blankets to help muffle the sound. Providing small pets with extra bedding to burrow into will also help them feel more secure – try Burgess Excel Feeding Hay with Chamomile, which is renowned for its calming properties.
4. WALK IN DAYLIGHT Make sure your dog gets a good walk earlier in the day before any fireworks start and bring your cat inside before it gets dark. Never leave your pets home alone on fireworks night.
5. ADD HOMELY NOISES As it starts to get dark, close all external doors, windows and cat-flaps. Draw the curtains and have the TV or radio on as background noise. Add some ‘white noise’ – perhaps putting the washing machine on or doing the hoovering as the fireworks start – pets usually find normal household sounds comforting and this will help mask the bangs.
DID YOU KNOW?
According to the RSPCA, it’s estimated that 45% of dogs
in the UK show signs of fear when they hear fireworks.
6. ACT NORMAL Avoid the temptation to cuddle or comfort distressed pets. Instead stay calm and relaxed, act normally and praise them for calm behaviour. Seeing you acting normally will help them feel more settled and reassure them that’s there’s nothing to worry about.
7. STAY CALM It is worth trying an Adaptil pheromone device for dogs or a Feliway diffuser for cats. These mimic feel-good pheromones, helping them to feel calm – ask your vet for details. Pet Remedy, a clinically-proven blend of valerian and vetiver, sweet basil and clary sage essential oils, is also suitable for use with small pets and is available as a calming spray, calming wipes, plug diffuser and battery-operated atomiser.
8. JACKET REQUIRED? Pressure wraps or ThunderShirts, are now available at pet retail outlets and could be worth investigating if you have a dog with high levels of anxiety. They were developed in the USA by Phil Blizzard for his dog Dosi, who was terrified by thunderstorms and fireworks. After a friend recommended trying a snug wrap – rather like swaddling a baby – Phil wrapped Dosi in an old t-shirt secured with packing tape to create mild pressure. Dosi calmed almost immediately and the idea for developing the ThunderShirt was born. Scientific studies have shown a significant reduction in heart rate in dogs who wore a pressure wrap. Find out more here >>.
9. TRY SOUND THERAPY A good technique is to slowly desensitise your dog to the sounds of fireworks – although this needs to be started well in advance of fireworks night and needs to be carried out extremely carefully. Your vet can provide more advice on this. Dogs Trust has free Sound Therapy for Pets resources explaining how to do this, as well as downloadable firework sounds.
10. CONSULT YOUR VET Finally, if your pet has a serious and extreme fear of fireworks, seek expert veterinary help well in advance as medication can be prescribed for very anxious pets.

More than two decades ago, Alan Moore handed Neil Gaiman the reins of Miracleman, the iconic superhero series that Moore made into one of his signature serious treatments of superhero comics. Before Watchmen, and even before Swamp Thing, this was Moore breaking new ground in superhero storytelling, and his sensibility in the medium would eventually make him a legend. Gaiman and artist Mark Buckingham (Fables) picked up the story in 1990, taking Miracleman into a utopian age, but then, in 1994, Miracleman's publisher Eclipse Comics went bankrupt, and their run on the book abruptly ended.
Marvel Comics' acquisition of the Miracleman rights meant there was new hope for Gaiman and Buckingham to continue the story, and now, after Marvel reprinted Alan Moore's run, it's finally happening. This fall Marvel will launch Miracleman by Gaiman and Buckingham, a new series that will reprint the previously released "Golden Age" story and, finally, continue the unfinished "Silver Age" story and progress into the long-planned "Dark Age" arc.
As with the Alan Moore reprints, this run of Miracleman will be "remastered" from the original artwork, and original colorist D'Israeli and letterer Todd Klein have returned to help that process along. Marvel also promises bonus material for the issues, including original scripts and sketches. So, if you've been waiting 20 years to read what happens next, or if you're just curious about Miracleman, this sounds like a hell of a place to start.
Miracleman by Gaiman and Buckingham #1 arrives Sept. 2. Check out four lettered preview pages, plus variant covers, in the gallery below.

The best known and most targeted freshwater game fish in Africa is undoubtedly the African tigerfish Hydrocynus vittatus. This charismatic fish is well known for immediately leaping out of the water on being hooked and then repeatedly jumping to try and dislodge, often successfully, any hook in its mouth. Its mouth displays a mass of sharp pointed teeth and there is very little soft flesh around it. Africa has many splendid freshwater fish, like the Nile perch of the north, the nembwe of the middle and largemouth yellowfish in the south but most experienced sport anglers would agree that the African tigerfish is in a class by itself.
About tiger fish
There is only one species of truetiger fish in Africa and it is to be found from the Nile in the north to the Pongola River in the south. The only similar species is the goliath tiger, Hydrocynus goliath, a monster that can grow to about 50 kilograms, which is found in the Congo River Basin as well as Lake Tanganyika. The common tigerfish is smaller, but can still attain respectable masses of around 15 kilograms in Zimbabwe, and the current angling record in South Africa is about 6 kilograms.
Tigerfish are warm water breeders, and spawning is usually associated with summer flooding. On some rivers dam development has interrupted the natural flooding regime and thus their spawning. Eggs are laid in vegetation and the young usually remain in weeds or around cover to avoid predation from birds, crocodiles and other fish including their own species. No parental care has been reported and introducing a small tiger fish to a populated domestic aquarium or small pond usually ends up with a single large tiger fish.
Young fish eat voraciously, anything from insects to fish and tadpoles, and males grow rapidly reaching a spawning length of 200-300 mm fork length in about three years. Females grow larger and start spawning at about 400 mm and great numbers of eggs may be produced. The main prey of this species are other fish and specimens of up to 40% of the length of the predator can be caught and consumed. Few fish anywhere in the world can compare with the rapacious appetite and aggressive feeding of the African tigerfish. There are confirmed records of them following flying swallows and then leaping out of the water into the air and successfully catching them.
This species requires well oxygenated waters and, in some rivers and dams where tigerfish used to be plentiful, it is now dwindling in numbers due to pollution and increased nutrient loads resulting in depressed oxygen levels. Other recent growing challenges are improved and increased fishing by local populations for food or commercial sale. Rod and line fishing is rarely able to markedly reduce fish stocks but monofilament gillnets, especially those carefully placed to target spawning aggregations, can become a serious threat and reduce breeding stocks substantially.
Competition has arisen in some places, such as Jozini Dam in South Africa, where an illegal gillnet fishery catches large numbers of sizeable fish which negatively impacts the local sport fishing industry. Heavy predation and capture rates have led to declining maximum size in some areas but there are still many locations that regularly produce trophy tigerfish. Local knowledge is, as usual, vital in choosing the best places to locate, entice and land good specimens of this species.
Fortunately the internet now provides fairly easy access to information on fishing for African tigerfish and sites like BairYourHook.com can be excellent starting points. Fishing lodges with rates/packages/deals to fit most budgets have sprung up along many of the rivers and dams in southern Africa where the species may be found. Lodge or resort operators will be able to assist with specialist requirements either for the angler or the type of fish to be targeted.
Where and when to catch tiger fish
Tiger fishing has developed rapidly in the last few years and there are now many good guides and destinations which are fairly readily accessible. In southern Africa the fish is found in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and north-eastern South Africa. The best known destinations in southern Africa are around the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. There are, however, excellent alternatives on other rivers where good fishing may be obtained.
African tigerfish are basically a summer sport species. In the winter the fish probably eats less and spends a lot of time in the deeper water and away from the shores. While it’s best to target them in the warmer months, anglers who come in the winter can also achieve some success during a warm spell, although more finesse and time may be required. In warm weather in summer the fish usually feed readily and often and the best success can be achieved around the margins of dams, pans or lakes or in the shallows of large rivers.
As with many species, in summer the best fishing is usually not during the heat of the day but in the mornings and afternoons. Similarly, as a general rule, fishing is better in early and late summer when the fish feed well to replace lost winter conditions or to prepare for the cooler months. Tigerfish can be caught during most of the year but the best methods change rapidly throughout the year, and only the knowledge of a local guide can assist you with optimising your chances of catching a good fish.
Due to the rapid rate of human population growth and development in Africa many wild populations of this species are under increasingly heavy pressure and finding pristine populations is not easy or within the range of many people. In southern Africa, however, there are now places where fisheries are, to a greater or lesser degree, managed and many fishing lodges and resorts are sited to facilitate game fishing for tigerfish.
Home grown knowledge is extremely important and obtaining a local or specialist guide will usually markedly increase your chances of catching a fish, especially a trophy fish. Anyone of any age can, however, catch a tigerfish and great pleasure can be had in the capture of smaller specimens of this species and, as time goes on, larger fish can be targeted.
How to catch tigerfish
Tigerfish are the top fish predators wherever they are found, and their greatest competition is usually other members of their own species. They can be caught on almost any artificial lure as well as most live and dead bites. As a rule, natural baits are more productive in winter, while the fish is more willing to take lures in the warmer months. Bait fishing is, however, probably the most productive overall and almost any style can be used. Fish fillets cast out into deep water or trolled rapidly across the surface can be very successful while suitable live baits are often very effective where and when conditions are right.
Fly fishing can elicit many strikes but actually hooking, never mind landing, a sizable tigerfish is not easy on light tackle, especially a fly rod. It is often best to keep the rod straight when retrieving so that when a tigerfish strikes it immediately pulls against your hand and not a flexible rod.
When using artificial lures, the angler must remain constantly alert and ready for the strike. Setting a hook in a tigerfish’s mouth is never easy, as this species rarely sets the hook itself. Then the fish often explodes into the air where it vigorously shakes its head trying to lose the fly or lure.
This species’ teeth are extremely sharp and, if a hook is swallowed, can easily cut through even strong nylon. Some people use very strong traces or wire leaders, but those have their drawbacks. The African tigerfish has huge eyes and excellent eyesight and may spot such materials.
Fishing means many things to many people but, while some forms are basically relaxing and fairly passive, targeting the African tigerfish is not for the faint hearted. Between hooking a tigerfish and landing it there is no time at all for anything other than focussing entirely on keeping the hook in the mouth and bringing the fish to the bank.
Although the flesh of the African tigerfish is very palatable, the fish is bony and it is usually best to simply catch and release your fish as rapidly and carefully as possible. When such a fish has given its all for your pleasure it seems only right to let it go back into the wild.
No one has fully explored the diversity of world fishing experiences until he, or she, has landed an African tigerfish. The challenge awaits!

Roy Hodgson’s England face two crunch FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the coming days that will determine whether or not they will be competing at next summer’s World Cup finals in Brazil, but even if they do make it to South America in 2014, do the Three Lions actually have a realistic hope of winning the tournament?
Well, ever since the 66-year-old was surprisingly chosen by The Football Association (FA) ahead of the people’s favourite Harry Redknapp to succeed Fabio Capello as England manager in May 2012, expectations around the national team have largely been dampened down.
In fact, England have never entered the finals of a major international tournament with such low hopes as they did going into the European Championship in Ukraine and Poland in June 2012.
And in many ways, Euro 2012 should now be used as the benchmark going forward for future England teams as they prepare for competitions, starting with Brazil 2014, should Hodgson and Co. make it to Rio next June that is.
As first England must overcome the tricky looking double challenge of qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland, both internationals which are to be played at Wembley Stadium on Friday and Tuesday night respectively.
FIFA World Rankings:
And the equation is simple: Win both matches, and England will be at the World Cup. However, slip up in either of those two contests, and the door will be left open for second-placed Ukraine or third-in-the-table Montenegro to bypass the Three Lions on the road to Rio, while Hodgson and Co will be left with the perils of facing a two-legged playoff next month in which to seal their safe passage to Brazil.
So before we can even start to gauge what England’s realistic expectations are at next summer’s global showpiece event, it is important to first stress that as England coach one of the main hopes now is simply to qualify for tournaments, whereas in years gone by that achievement would automatically be taken as a given.
However, assuming that Hodgson can successfully manage to steer the Three Lions to South America next year, whether that be via automatic qualification or the dreaded playoffs, then just what should England’s large contingent of travelling fans expect from their side in the heat and humidity of a World Cup played in Brazil?
The first thing to say on that matter is in the 83-year history of the tournament, no team from Europe has ever won the competition when it has been staged in South America, so any slim hopes England fans may have had in this regard can be extinguished immediately.
In fact, the Three Lions have only ever made it as far as the semi-finals of the World Cup on one occasion when they have not hosted the tournament themselves, and that was in 1990 when they lost on penalties to eventual winners West Germany.
Other than at Italia 90 though, it really has just been a collection of exits in the knockout rounds for England over the years, and that was no different in the last World Cup in South Africa three years ago.
On that occasion under the management of one of world football’s most respected and successful club coaches, Fabio Capello, England were eliminated from the competition in the round of 16 with their tails well and truly between their legs after being thrashed 4-1 by arch-rivals Germany in Bloemfontein (see above video).
But next summer, man for man the squad will be infinitely weaker than that chosen in 2010, while if you were to compare the two managerial careers of Capello and Hodgson, the only similarity you would find between the two is that they both once coached at San Siro.
And to confirm the all-round feeling that England have regressed since their last appearance in the World Cup in the summer of 2010, one only needs to consult the most recent world rankings released by FIFA last month that show Hodgson’s side now languishing down in 17th place.
Now, compare that to where the side were placed going into the tournament three years ago, when Capello’s team were seeded on the basis of being ranked as one of Planet Football’s top eight nations.
Whereas at Brazil 2014, the Three Lions face the daunting prospect of being drawn in a group with either the hosts, holders Spain, or the likes of Argentina, Germany, Italy, Colombia, Belgium and Uruguay.
Meanwhile, there would be no guarantee whatsoever that Hodgson’s side would even make it out of the group stage and in to the round of 16, as they did under Capello last time out, given the all-round respective strength of those nations currently situated in and around England in the current world rankings.
Countries of the strength of the runners-up at South Africa 2010, Netherlands, as well as the likes of Portugal, Russia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mexico, France and USA, especially when you consider the struggles the Three Lions have had even trying to qualify for next summer’s jamboree.
As I am sure no one really needs reminding that going into Friday’s penultimate qualifier against Montenegro, England have actually yet to get the better of the tiny Balkan nation in any of their previous three meetings.
Not only that, but since Hodgson replaced Capello in the Three Lions hot seat, England have also failed to beat Belgium, Norway, France, Italy, Sweden, Brazil, Ukraine (twice) and Poland.
And so that should give most fans, pundits and neutrals alike a fair idea of just where this current group of England players stand in relation to their rivals throughout the world when it comes to gauging just what to realistically expect from the team in Brazil next summer.
However, what of those players though, the men who will collectively shoulder a whole nation's hopes at next year’s World Cup, as they are surely the most realistic guide as to how well the Three Lions can expect to do?
Well, you would have to have been on the planet Mars recently not to have heard the now familiar debate raging in the media about the lack of England-qualified players playing in the Premier League week in, week out, who are available to Hodgson at present, with the figure currently at worryingly low 33 percent.
And perhaps of even greater concern looking ahead to next summer’s tournament in South America is that of those 33 percent of Englishmen, just how many would actually be considered as truly world-class players capable of being selected to start for, say, Spain, Germany or Argentina for example?
The answer, sadly, is that on current showings, very few indeed, with maybe Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole, Arsenal midfield player Jack Wilshere (when he is not injured of course) and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney making the grade.
But, other than that trio though, you really would be hard pressed to construct any sort of sound argument for the inclusion of many other Englishmen, which should tell Three Lions supporters just what they need to know when deciding exactly how long to book their holiday to Brazil for next summer.
The ironic thing about the situation which England now find themselves in, however, is that former national team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson was given the boot for “only” taking the team as far as the quarter-finals of major international tournaments, which the Swede managed to achieve in the three consecutive competitions he was in charge for between 2002 and 2006.
And yet following Sven’s exit, England have actually regressed, with failure to qualify for Euro 2008, followed by a limp second-round exit at South Africa 2010 and then last time out at Euro 2012 defeat on penalties in the last eight to Italy.
That pattern has actually been taking shape since England’s high-water mark at Wembley in July 1966, with relatively impressive showings following at Mexico 70, Spain 82, Mexico 86 and Italia 90, followed by the “Eriksson Last-Eight Years,” and then the situation in which England find themselves in now, which could be called the “Second-Round Years” I suppose.
However, based on the current FIFA world rankings, England would not even be expected to get out of the group phase at next year’s World Cup, although you can be sure that if Hodgson does manage to get the Three Lions to Brazil in June, then that would be considered to be his minimum requirement by both fans and his bosses at The FA.
But realistically, Hodgson and Co will have actually exceeded expectations in many ways by going beyond the second round of the tournament in South America next year, and while that may be a salutary thought to many of the nation’s fans, they should actually start getting used to it as that is what the future now has in store for the Three Lions on the international stage.

Louis Vuitton: iconic, luxury brand of fine handbags, shoes and other accessories, right? Today, yes. But in 19th century France, the young man himself had a somewhat different reputation.
At the age of 13, he ran away from home and traveled nearly 300 miles on foot from his hometown to Paris, where he met widely-respected box maker and packer Monsieur Marechal—the craft was highly reputable and sophisticated during this period of the Industrial Revolution. Marechal took Vuitton on as an apprentice, and after only a few years, Vuitton became a prominent practitioner of the work. He was even asked by Napoleon III’s wife to personally create boxes for “packing the most beautiful clothes in an exquisite way.”
Throughout his career as a box maker and packer, Vuitton gained respect from royalty for his artistry and innovation; he developed the use of rectangular, canvas trunks in different colors and canvas and glue for casing, which eliminated odors.
So what can we learn from Vuitton’s story? Exquisite craftsmanship, innovative materials, and creative design can invite great admiration and high regard. Something to think about in promoting your brand.

This Old-School Engagement Ring Trend Will Be Huge In 2021
When ruminating about the ideal engagement ring, many couples have a similar checklist: one that’s distinctive and modern while being rooted in history. But there's another requirement to consider adding to the list — two stones. Of late, the dual-stone Toi et Moi engagement ring has seen a significant uptick on the trend circuit, mostly thanks to celebrities who rock the silhouette, like Emily Ratajkowski and, most recently, Ariana Grande.
French for “you and me,” Toi et Moi engagement rings originated with Napoleon Bonaparte, who gave it to Joséphine, the future Empress, who was six years his elder. “At the time, it was such a scandal,” Yi Collection designer Yi Guo tells TZR. Though the historically rooted ring style is trending, Azlee designer Baylee Zwart adds, “It’s a style very worthy of becoming relevant again as the deeply romantic symbolism epitomizes the union of two people. The joining of two and a balance of two.”
For Stephanie Wynne Lalin and Jenny Klatt of the New York-based label Jemma Wynne, two-stone rings are a collection signature and the top-requested silhouette among future brides and fine jewelry lovers alike. The first iteration featuring two Asscher-cut stones debuted in 2014 when the duo redesigned Klatt’s engagement ring for her seventh anniversary. “[It] mimicked the silhouette of our bestselling open bangles,” Wynne Lalin shares. “We make one version where the stones are stacked on either side of the band, but our most popular design is the open ring, which has become synonymous with our brand.”
But the duo’s designs boast more than striking modernity. “Using two gems can make an engagement ring more sentimental and unique,” Klatt explains. “A couple may want to pair an heirloom diamond with something new, incorporate their birthstones, give a pop of color to suit the bride’s personal style, or even add a second stone to an existing ring to celebrate a special anniversary.” Among Jemma Wynne’s most popular customizations are unique stone shape and color pairings and intricate details like blackened pave frames for an edgier look and bezel settings for a vintage feel.
With the popularity of double-stone engagement rings steadily rising, fresh iterations are guaranteed to emerge for 2021 and beyond. “I like to play with a bit of space and proportions,” Guo says of her Toi et Moi designs. “Maybe it’s an allegory of my own romantic relationship.” For Zwart, it’s about color. “I’m hopeless for an emerald and diamond pairing,” she tells TZR.
Wynne Lalin predicts a rise in unexpected stone shape and color combinations. “We recently made one open ring with a deep pink sapphire paired with a ruby, and another with two elongated shield-shaped diamonds set in different directions — when we posted them on Instagram, our followers went wild,” she reveals. “It was our first time doing combinations like those, and we have already received a lot of requests for similar designs.”
Ahead, keep scrolling to discover 19 Toi et Moi engagement rings, from minimal to ornate and antique-inspired.

Last night I watched a French-made documentary on SBS called It's a Fat Fat World. I thought I might have seen it all before, but this was a very new perspective - obesity in the developing world. The culprit? For the main part, globalisation, the spread of hypermarkets and fast food (McDonalds and KFC know no national boundaries) and reliance on motorised transport.
In Egypt, apparently 60 percent of adult women are obese! Essentially because of inactivity, because they are confined to the domestic sphere. These women are like walking manifestations of boredom and oppression.
In Mexico, what had been a healthy traditional diet has been adulterated so that now people eat multiple tortillas deep fried in lard, without beans or vegetables. I think they said that one out of every two adults is overweight if not obese in that country.
The dimensions of the problem are quite overwhelming. It was horrible to watch people eating themselves sick, served up a diet of what amounts to poison masquerading as modern luxury. Of course, that's all around us here too. In fact, we went to a child's birthday party today and, feeling sensitised to the issue after watching this program, I couldn't help but see the sheer amounts of food as totally over the top.
[And now I'm off to cook dinner!]

HICKORY – An N.C. Department of Transportation contractor will close part of a Catawba County road for about 10 months for a bridge replacement project.
Beginning June 20, Old Shelby Road will be closed near Greedy Highway Road to allow crews to safely replace the bridge over Camp Creek. Work is expected to be complete by April 2023.
A detour will be in place using Greedy Highway, Hudson and Providence Church roads. Residents living near the work zone will still have access to their driveways during the closure.
Motorists should remain alert when approaching the work zone and slow down to adjust to the detour.

The urban-like density of rural subdivision lots in La Pine is feeding increasing levels of sewage contaminants into the groundwater.
The Bend Bulletin reports (http://bit.ly/13DITTT ) a committee commissioned by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality found that 85 percent of the Deschutes County lots and 75 percent of the Klamath County lots are at risk of having groundwater comprised of at least 25 percent of partially treated sewage.
The combination of thousands of septic systems close together, permeable soil and a shallow water table led to the sewage contamination of the groundwater.
Officials say the situation is not yet a public-health risk, but the committee has called for further study on the potential impacts to the Little Deschutes River.
They say the rural areas require urban sewage solutions.

Although I have my misgivings about the direction higher education is headed these days, I have to wonder about the prediction being made by Mauldine Economics writer, Jared Dilliard, in his dramatic lookahead piece It Was a Good Run. For example, consider his opening attention-grabber [my bold emphasis]:
I predict that 20 percent of colleges and universities will shut down or merge in the next 10 years, and probably more.
It was a good run.
That grabbed my attention. There were 4,298 degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the US as of the 2017-2018 school year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. If Dilliard is correct, in the "probably more" sense, that means that possibly a thousand schools will go under in this decade. A scenario like that merits consideration.
"Who is this guy?" I wondered. Being somewhat chronically skeptical myself, I was amused by the slogan at the top of Dilliard's bio page: "I try to be cynical, but it is hard to keep up." That could partially explain his dark outlook for the future of college. But he has his rational reasons. Here are a few that may offer some perspective:
Most people fail to understand that higher education is in itself countercyclical. When the economy is bad, and people lose jobs, many of them will go back to school … You might not have heard that total enrollment has been declining for the last eight years as the economy has improved. What comes next will pulverize nearly every institution of higher learning in the country, private and public.
The reason: demographics. Basically, an echo of the baby bust of the early seventies … Enrollment will drop 15% on average, on top of the eight-year correction that schools have already experienced. This may not seem like much, but finances at colleges and universities have deteriorated sharply, and many of them will not even be able to withstand a drop of a few percent ...
One doesn't have to look far for examples of colleges that have already closed, some for the exact reasons Dilliard cites. Inside Higher Education has a list that "includes private, nonprofit colleges that have closed from 2016 to the present. The list does not include colleges that have merged with or into other institutions." Here it is:
St. Catharine College (Kentucky)
Trinity Lutheran College
Memphis College of Art
Saint Joseph's College (Indiana) (suspended operations, but technically did not close)
St. Gregory's University
Atlantic Union College
Concordia College (Alabama)
Mount Ida College
College of New Rochelle
Green Mountain College
Oregon College of Art and Craft
Southern Vermont College
And, of course, Dilliard addresses my favorite soapbox topic of choice: student loan debt:
… you probably know that college is expensive. It is expensive because it is implicitly subsidized by the federal government, which will lend any amount of money to any student without regard for willingness or ability to repay ...
… Today, 45% fewer 18- to 29-year-olds say going to college is "very important" than in 2013. A 45% drop in just seven years … Higher education has become so expensive that … [n]ot even a Wall Street job is going to be any help in paying off $200,000 to $300,000 in debt.
As a sidebar, refresh your awareness on this frightening reality with: Millennials Are More Than A Trillion Dollars In Debt, And Most Of Them Don't Even Own A Home. Dilliard continues:
So we have fewer students going to college and fewer students wanting to go to college.
… New academic buildings, new athletic facilities, new residence halls with swimming pools, climbing walls, and recreation facilities. Lots of administration and diversity staff … When the cuts come, they won't come for the administration or the diversity staff. Academic programs will be the first to go, which raises some interesting questions about what the purpose of a university is …
I've not cited Dilliard's argument about college sports -- mainly football -- which, he contends, are a drain on college resources. I know, don't mention this to any Crimson Tide or Nittany Lion alumni, but Dilliard isn't talking about NCAA Division I Top 10 teams' schools.
… Some schools are … trying to recruit folks outside the rapidly shrinking pool of high school seniors… millions … who have "some college" … are potential customers, depending on how much debt they have left over from the last time around. Schools will also be recruiting foreign students heavily. But it won't be enough to plug the gap. Smaller liberal arts colleges are already closing or [merging]with larger schools to stay afloat. [See the list above.] But state schools will suffer too, and many of them will require explicit taxpayer assistance, which will be politically distasteful to say the least …
I see a lot of articles about "prepping for Doomsday." When I was a youngster, my parents always encouraged me to "save for a rainy day." Dilliard definitely thinks there is a monsoon of Doomsday proportions heading toward the higher education community and he's not at all encouraged by the level of prepping there.
… My suspicion is that universities … have done pretty much zero to prepare for the coming bust. Many schools have lots of debt, not much cash, and a lot of fixed costs … operating under the assumption that the Department of Education continues … to lend money as it has been in the past …
… Colleges and universities employ a lot of people and in many cases are the lifeblood of a single town. You've probably noticed that the nicest buildings in your town are the academic buildings. Wait until they are all empty.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play? Dilliard paints an ominous fresco of the future. I'm concerned, too, but not at the 20 percent-failure-rate level he proffers. If you've followed the main themes of my posts over the past dozen years or so, however, you can't miss my concerns about the detrimental effect of loan debt on young people and the "Is college right for everyone?" conundrum. Dilliard enhances my concerns with his take on specific consequences.
Is this the future of college? I'll let you know ten years from now.
I recently visited Washington University in Saint Louis and was lucky enough to set up an interview. By speaking with peers of mi…

Home » Google Workspace Implementation for SIPs manufacturing business
As part of a general tech stack review which was speeded up by a cyber attack on the on prem service. Our way of making sure we can efficiently connect tools to allow data to flow through the business is to implement Google Workspace first. This removes the expensive maintenance of Microsoft products and also removes the need to constantly debug the reasons why tools connected to Microsoft reject connections.
This is by far the biggest reason why Google Workspace in implemented first before we start upgrading other areas of the tech stack. We believe to have true data flow in your business, ‘cloud only’ is the only option like Google Workspace. A hybrid such as Office 365 which requires all the cloud and on machine tools to communicate securely and thus has such a technically high level of complexity, it is not suited to fast and agile companies that wish to reduce silos and manual repetitive work.
It has been a major success in this business with virtually no maintenance over the initial year.
This is a funny code area that seems hold no real value.

IUCAA :- Lecture Demonstration Programme
Topic: Robotics and Recent Trends in Robotic Science
The speaker, Dr. Shantipal Ohol, was introduced by Mr. Samir Dhurde of IUCAA. Dr. Ohol is The Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering Dept. College of Engineering, Pune. He is the In-charge of Centralized Robotics and Automation Lab and Faculty Co-ordinator Robot study circle, COE, Pune. He started his lecture with introduction of the topic and the need to make Robots. The Basics and Applications of Robotics System was also explained. In 1921, a Czech playwright, Karel Capek gave the name ROBOT ( from Czech word Robota- meaning forced labourer or Slave). Robotic Industrial Association(RIA) defined a Robot as, a re programmable multifunctional design to perform variety of task. George Devol is known as the Father of Robotics. In 1954, he made the first robot. Different types of robots, like humanoids, androids, actoids, geminoids, quadcopter etc. were introduced with the help of pictures and videos. Videos showing how robots are used in different fields were shown.
He was accompanied with three of his Post graduation students, who had made three robots. They demonstrated the working of the robots, which could greet, whistle , do exercise etc. Students were very excited and thrilled seeing all this. The lecture was very interesting, motivating students to think of pursuing a career in Robotics and contribute their bit. The lecture got extended by half an hour and hence Question-answer session could not be taken. Overall it was an impressive lecture.
