Whether or not you believe in fate, or luck, or love at first sight, every romance has to start somewhere. MEET CUTE is an anthology of original short stories featuring tales of “how they first met” from some of today’s most popular YA authors.
Readers will experience Nina LaCour’s beautifully written piece about two Bay Area girls meeting via a cranky customer service Tweet, Sara Shepard’s glossy tale about a magazine intern and a young rock star, Nicola Yoon’s imaginative take on break-ups and make-ups, Katie Cotugno’s story of two teens hiding out from the police at a house party, and Huntley Fitzpatrick’s charming love story that begins over iced teas at a diner. There’s futuristic flirting from Kass Morgan and Katharine McGee, a riveting transgender heroine from Meredith Russo, a subway missed connection moment from Jocelyn Davies, and a girl determined to get out of her small town from Ibi Zoboi. Jennifer Armentrout writes a sweet story about finding love from a missing library book, Emery Lord has a heartwarming and funny tale of two girls stuck in an airport, Dhonielle Clayton takes a thoughtful, speculate approach to pre-destined love, and Julie Murphy dreams up a fun twist on reality dating show contestants.
This incredibly talented group of authors brings us a collection of stories that are at turns romantic and witty, epic and everyday, heartbreaking and real.
Anthologies are always hit or miss for me.
The reason being is that whenever I started getting into it, it’s over. I start really liking a couple and wanting to know more about them but it switches to the next story and nothing. I get nothing.
Like Martha and June from Something Real by Julie Murphy. I wanted to read so much more about those two, I was extremely sad it was over.
And Tyler and Moss from The Dictionary of You and Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Meeting over a book. An overdue library book? How freaking cute is that.
This was definitely an enjoyable way to spend the last couple days. If you want quick reads that you can pick through, check this out.

Good call for Springer to keep the content open to all!!
Journal of Digital Imaging: Open Source Articles
all the content is open to all...
Linux Medical News: "The Society of Imaging Informatics in Medicine recently released a special edition of the Journal of Digital Imaging focused on open source. While they are published in Springer, all the
articles on major open source packages in imaging informatics are open access. SIIM saw it fitting that open source articles shouldn't be locked into a proprietary publisher."
interesting, the first abstract:
Abstract The open source community within radiology is a vibrant collection of developers and users working on scores of collaborative projects with the goal of promoting the use of information technology within radiology for education, clinical, and research purposes. This community, which includes many commercial partners, has a rich history in supporting the success of the digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) standard and today is pioneering interoperability limits by embracing the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise. This article describes only a small portion of the more successful open source applications and is written to help end users see these projects as practical aids for the imaging informaticist and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) administrator.

Crask Inn to Kinbrace
After a cracking time at the Crask Inn it was time to wander eastwards towards the finishing line.
I set off at about 9.00, and straight onto the boggy moorland track that would take me up past a final Munro (Ben Klibreck) and into ‘flow’ country, the route littered by massive lochs all day. After the climb up Bealach Easach the view of the first two lochs (Loch a’ Bhealaich & Loch Choire) was breathtaking… amazing.
I knew that I’d be walking past them both as far as my eye could see. At the end of Loch Choire is Loch Choire Estate Shooting Lodge – it’s in the middle of nowhere. It’s serviced by a gravel/sand access track, I’d follow this for the next 13 miles.
The weather was heavily overcast and rain threatened all the time. But I got away with a couple of fleeting showers. At the end of the estate track I joined the B871 and followed this to Kinbrace.
Because I walked all the way to Kinbrace today, I’m a day ahead of schedule…. So I’ll probably take my final ‘rest day’ in Watten.
Wild camping tonight so no beer or whisky just cheese baps & pork pie.

The Senior Vice President of The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU) has been heard mentioning that the theme of the animated film clearly and aptly represents the emotion of the customers in an artistic way. The film so nicely conveys the inherent connections of an individual with his/her loved ones, and thus the film has been selected by the Western Union in connecting with its customers.
Being the first ever entertainment partnership of the company, the latter is optimistic of pulling in more customers. The ongoing global marketing campaign is valid through May 18, 2014.
A smart drive indeed for Western Union

David W. Yandell (Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston): "Interest in our paper has come from diverse areas because it touches on cancer predisposition, tumor suppressor genes, and DNA-based diagnosis of hereditary disease.
"Retinoblastoma is a rare but complex disease that has both hereditary and nonhereditary forms. Although it is one of the more treatable cancers, it can be blinding and disfiguring, and the specter of recurrent cancer and unaffected `carriers' for predisposition of the disease can have a devastating effect on families.
"Premorbid DNA-based identification of carriers provides critical information for genetic counseling and for early treatment of carriers who develop retinoblastoma. However, this gene is a bona fide nightmare for the molecular geneticist attempting...

Their scientists, veterinarians and formulators began with the premise that most pet diets are lacking the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There are important nutrients that animals once received when they were living in a more primitive environment that are not available in the modern diet. Commercial pet foods contain numerous by-products that can make them poisonous, toxic and incapable of reducing the devastating effects of unstable oxygen molecules, also known as "free radicals." Free radicals have been implicated in more than fifty health problems in humans and animals including various forms of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, cataracts and premature aging.
After extensive testing with many different combinations of ingredients, their scientists formulated NuVet Plus™. They believe, based on the most current medical, veterinarian and nutritional reports, NuVet Plus™ will combat the onslaught of free radicals in our companion pets. This unique formula consists of precise amounts of vitamins, minerals and high-potency antioxidants that when combined, create a synergistic and powerful boost to the immune system.

It is the principal diversion in the Borderlands arrangement. The diversion was discharged worldwide in October 2009, with the Mac OS X rendition of being discharged on December 3, 2010, by Feral Interactive.

In the event that they lose all their wellbeing, they should either hold up to be resuscitated by another player or endeavor to kill a foe to accomplish a "moment wind", or generally will be recovered back at the last "New-U" station that they passed, losing a 'proportion fitting' rate of their cash simultaneously. Players rapidly access two-traveler vehicles and can take part in the vehicular battle with different adversaries.

What impresses me most of this Zhangjiajie tour is Baofeng Lake. It is so tranquil that I felt my mind got totally relaxed. I forgot the busy working days and the disturbing city scenes, when I finally reached these water and mountains, and got into this beautiful landscape painting.
It is a lake hidden and surrounded by a succession of mountains. We climbed on the steep road, went through the narrow lane, and then saw it. We arrived there late in the afternoon, and there were very few people there, so that we could really enjoy the quietness.
We were sitting in a boat, imaging sailing for a fairy world. We listened to the Tujia minority girl and boy singing folk songs, watched mandarin ducks swimming in pairs. We also saw a beautiful stone statue, and were told a fairy tale. A girl waited for her boyfriend, who had collected medicinal herbs and disappeared in the mountains. Years and years, she turned into a stone statue.


It maintains the propulsion power under high and hot conditions to higher ambient temperature as compared to the TV3-117 engine early modifications, which improves significantly the performance of helicopters. The engine automatic control system permits to set the takeoff power within the range of 2,000 to 2,500 hp (depending on the engine application). All engine versions provide 2,800 hp in the contingency power condition.
The engine has been developed capable of updating nearly all TV3-117 family engine versions now in service to the TV3-117VMA-SBM1V, standard retaining their interchangeability.
The engine guarantees the retention of high flight performance of helicopters even if they are equipped with high-efficiency dust-protecting and exhaustshielding devices.
ENGINE BASIC MERITS
- high reliability;
- increased power maintained in hot and high conditions;
- low SFC;
- long service life;
- easy in-service maintenance;
- high repairability;
- stable operation under conditions of heavy smoke and dust;
- capability of long operation under maritime conditions;
- low cost of life cycle;
- interchangeability with early TV3-117 family engine versions

As the Bristol-based artist Infuhme himself expresses in a short bio, the music he makes often veers between disparate moods: “Depressed and euphoric simultaneously, manic and erratic,” to put it in the artists’ own words. That tension is apparent in the lyrics of his new track, ‘Cuttlefish Excursions (Lost)’. Infuhme rattles off pop culture references, spiced up with a hint of the absurd—something apparent already from the title of the song. As a subnautical beat bubbles away he slings sly one-liners that hit with surprising force upon closer inspection.
It’s a track worth getting your scuba gear out for.


Justin Bieber has bizarrely tweeted that he wants to fight Tom Cruise.
The 'Baby' singer's 106 million followers were left scratching their heads after he issued the challenge on Monday.
"I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon," Bieber tweeted. "Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite?"
Dana White is the head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which is the world's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation.
MMA is "a full-contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills from a mixture of other combat sports to be used in competition," according to the UFC site.
No one knows why Bieber, 25, wants to take on the 56-year-old 'Mission Impossible' actor.
Representatives for both men have not responded to requests for comment.

There are several advantages of Emergency Energy Storage Inverters (EESIs) over traditional backup generators. These include:
1. Lower operating costs: EESIs can be more cost-effective over the long term compared to traditional backup generators, as they do not require fuel and have lower maintenance requirements.
2. Reduced emissions: EESIs produce no emissions and are a more environmentally-friendly option compared to traditional backup generators, which typically rely on fossil fuels and produce greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
3. Faster response times: EESIs can respond much faster than traditional backup generators, as they do not require time to start up and warm up.
4. Quiet operation: EESIs produce no noise, making them more suitable for applications where noise is a concern.
5. Increased reliability: EESIs can be designed for high reliability, as they have fewer moving parts compared to combustion engines that power traditional backup generators.
6. Scalability: EESIs can be scaled up or down easily by adding or removing battery storage units to meet changing energy demands.
7. Energy efficiency: EESIs can be designed to be highly energy-efficient, as they can store energy during times of low demand and discharge it during times of high demand, reducing energy waste.
Overall, EESIs offer several advantages over traditional backup generators, including lower operating costs, reduced emissions, faster response times, increased reliability, scalability, energy efficiency, and quiet operation. These advantages make EESIs a more attractive option for many applications where backup power is required.

Angels hope to get out of Baltimore with a win
And the Angels need a win to keep pace with the red-hot Texas Rangers, who scored twice in their final at-bat Saturday to beat the Toronto Blue Jays and push their advantage in the American League West to four games.
Manager Mike Scioscia gave a couple of players a rest day Sunday, benching shortstop Erick Aybar in favor of the struggling Maicer Izturis and giving catcher Jeff Mathis the day off in favor of Bobby Wilson. In addition, Peter Bourjos, who returned from the disabled list with a spectacular defensive game Saturday, rested his tight hamstring Sunday with rookie Mike Trout starting in center.
After Sunday afternoon's game, the Angels fly to Cleveland where they'll send Dan Haren and Jered Weaver to the mound in the first two of a three-game series beginning Monday.
Sunday's lineups are listed after the jump.

SpaceX’s Starship explodes in mid-air on its maiden flight
(CNN Spanish) — After liftoff, SpaceX’s starship exploded in midair on its first launch attempt. The most powerful rocket ever built is unmanned.
“The starship experienced what we call an unplanned rapid tear gas,” an official said in the broadcast.
The massive super-heavy rocket booster, which includes 33 engines, was lifted off Thursday morning, sending a huge boom across the coastal landscape as it powered up. A booster-mounted starship rose above the Gulf of Mexico.
After approximately two and a half minutes, the superheavy rocket booster was expected to expend most of its fuel and separate from the starship spacecraft, disposing of the booster in the ocean. But the rocket exploded in mid-air.
“With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help improve Starship reliability as SpaceX makes life interplanetary,” SpaceX said in a tweet.
As if the flight test wasn’t exciting enough, the starship experienced a quick unplanned extraction before stage separation.
— SpaceX (@SpaceX) April 20, 2023
Elon Musk’s company tried to launch on Monday, but was unable to due to a technical problem.
The event has been rescheduled for this Thursday, where there will be a window between 8:28 am CT (9:28 am Miami time) and 9:30 am CT (10:30 am Miami time).
The company will broadcast its launch event live WebsiteFrom about 45 minutes before departure.
Why didn’t the starship leave on Monday?
The launch was canceled after SpaceX said it was a broadcast pressure problem.
“Looks like the pressure valve is frozen, so no release today unless it starts working soon” Tweeted Musk at that time.
Even after the decision to abort the launch attempt, the team continued to execute some launch activities and run the countdown in a procedure known as a “wet dress rehearsal”. Finally, they stopped the countdown clock with 40 seconds left.
It’s common for first-time releases to be delayed as engineers fix issues that weren’t apparent during earlier testing.
For example, NASA’s Space Launch System rocket took four attempts to complete a wet suit test and two launch attempts before the vehicle was finally lifted off in November 2022.
Heading into lift-off on Monday, Musk tried to temper expectations: “Success is not what you expect. … It’s going to be crazy.”
With reporting by CNN’s Jackie Wattles.

The fog in which I live is getting thicker around me. People are remarking about it. I was told need to come back to the world and I find that I have no real desire to do so. I don't like it there.
We all have a place to which we retreat. I have never really had that place that people talk about their "safe" place. I recall an occasion when I was hypnotized and the hypnotist told me to go to my safe place. He was utterly confused when I didn't know what to do. I was confused by his confusion. I felt sorry for the poor man. I never had such a place. He kept trying to move me to a place of "tranquility". He wanted me to go to a place where I felt "serene". I never managed to do that. Maybe I am just too much the literalist but I never did associate the feeling of serenity with a "place".
I've been trying to communicate to my therapist for a couple of years a feeling in my life that was lost with my vision. I don't know that it was my "safe place" or that the feeling lost is that of serenity or of tranquility. It is something akin to those things.
Hypnotists talk about trance states and levels of trance, depths of trance. When reading, often when simply concentrating I would "zone out" and be "somewhere else". Some call it daydreaming. Others would say of me that I was "a million miles away". None of that conveys accurately what was happening. My awareness of myself was never precisely detached. There was a disassociation from most mundane concerns and my state might accurately be described as dissociate in the medical sense but my awareness was also enhanced considerably in other ways. Simply described, it was a state of focused or intense concentration. That of course fails utterly to describe the state in other than quantitative terms leaving the quality of the experience undefined. It is that which I have always been unable to explain to anyone.
Lacking that experience in my life has left me empty in many ways. It was an escape of sorts that was quite necessary to me. I didn't know that it was so. I was addicted and only knew it once I was forced into withdrawal.
I wonder if I am slowly fading into that place? Am I trying to move into that experience that I cannot have by reading in some different way? Is that experience just creeping up on me, restoring itself to my life?

By STEVEN R. HURST, Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) — Antonio Hammond is the $18,000 man.
He's a success story for Catholic Charities of Baltimore, one of a multitude of organizations trying to haul people out of poverty in this Maryland port city where one of four residents is considered poor by U.S. government standards.
Hammond says he ended up in Baltimore three years ago, addicted to crack cocaine and snorting heroin, living in abandoned buildings where "the rats were fierce," and financing his addiction by breaking into cars and stealing copper pipes out of crumbing structures. Eighteen months after finding his way to Catholic Charities via a rehabilitation center, the 49-year-old Philadelphia native is back in the work force, clean of drugs, earning $13 an hour cleaning laboratories for the Biotech Institute of Maryland and paying taxes.
Catholic Charities, which runs a number of federally funded programs, spent $18,000 from privately donated funds to turn around Hammond's life through the organization's Christopher's Place program which provides housing and support services to recovering addicts and former prisoners.
Such success stories are in danger as $85 billion in federal government spending cuts begin squeezing services for the poor nationwide. The cuts started kicking in automatically on March 1 after feuding Democrats and Republicans failed to agree on a better plan for addressing the national deficit. They are hitting at a time of spiking poverty as the U.S. slowly climbs out of the deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
"All I wanted to do was get high," Hammond said. "I didn't even know any more how to eat or clean myself."
Now he lives with two other men in housing subsidized by the charity, got his driver's license and bought a car. What he marvels at the most is that he has been accepted after a 20-year absence by some of his nine children. That's the best part, he said. "At least I know now they might not hate me."
The U.S. Census Bureau puts the number of Americans in poverty at levels not seen since the mid-1960s when President Lyndon B. Johnson launched the federal government's so-called War on Poverty. As President Barack Obama began his second term in January, nearly 50 million Americans — one in six — were living below the income line that defines poverty, according to the bureau. A family of four that earns less than $23,021 a year is listed as living in poverty. The bureau said 20 percent of the country's children are poor.
Although it is far from the country's poorest city, Baltimore's poverty rate far outstrips the national average of one in six.
Catholic Charities of Baltimore is a conduit for state and federal money for programs designed to help the poor. The charity plays a major role in administering Head Start, a federal program that provides educational services for low-income pre-school children and frees single mothers to find work without the huge expense of childcare.
The spending cuts, known as the sequester, are going to hit Head Start especially hard.
"Before the sequester only half of the need was being met. Now, after the cuts fully take effect, there will be 900 children already in the program who won't be able to take part," said William McCarthy, executive director of Catholic Charities.
There is no question the national belt-tightening "will deepen and increase poverty," said McCarthy, citing the cuts in long-term care for poor seniors including assisted living and nursing care, and fewer low-income housing spaces, among other ripple effects.
Under the spending cuts, Baltimore Housing Commissioner Paul T. Graziano said his agency faces a $25 million shortfall in funds to help poor people with housing. There are 35,000 people on the waiting list. He also lamented cuts that will hamper the city's efforts to clean up or demolish blighted neighborhoods. Baltimore has 15,000 vacant and abandoned structures as a result of a steep population decline over the past half century.
"It's very, very disheartening. We take a couple of steps forward and then fall back at least one. The private sector isn't going to fix these neighborhoods. I view these things as investments, not expenditures. These things are an investment in the future that bring returns many times over," he said.

Antioch African Methodist Episcopal in Stone Mountain, 765 S. Hairston Road, is celebrating its 149th anniversary this month and it will honor
the oldest members of the church as part of the festivities.
Pastor Vandy Simmons will pay tribute to five members who are 100 years old and older at the 10 a.m. worship service. The centenarians include Peggy Baker, Relda Mackins, Mary Randall, Tabitha Reid and Elizabeth Simon. A homecoming dinner will follow the worship service.
The community is invited to attend the 10 a.m. service or the early morning worship service , at 7:30 a.m. Pastor Simmons will speak at both services.
Antioch was founded in 1868 by progressive-minded African Americans in Decatur, Georgia who wanted to see their own church flourish. The church was built following the Civil War during the early reconstruction era. The congregation came up with the name “Antioch” after the city in the Scriptures where the disciples were first called Christians. Antioch was incorporated in October 1993 under the leadership of former minister, the Rev. Dr. Stafford J. Wicker.

LFP battery is the short name for LiFePO4, also as known Lithium Ferro(Iron) Phosphate Battery. An LFP battery refers to a li-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate as a positive electrode material.
Knowing the relevant voltage of the LFP battery helps to set the reasonable end voltages, so the LFP battery could be working in the most effective and reasonable condition, and offer a safe, stable, and long-lasting power supply.
As the safest lithium technology, the LFP battery has many advantages in energy storage applications.
- l Safe
- l Super Long Cycle Life
- l Light Weight for Easy Handling and Installation
- l Suitable for High Temperature
- l Environmentally friendly
LFP Battery Cell Voltage
Due to the difference in various raw materials used by each manufacturer(including positive, negative electrode materials, and electrolytes), the performance and voltage of the batteries are not exactly the same. In general conditions, the nominal voltage of the LFP battery cell is 3.2V, the high-end voltage is 3.6V, and the low-end voltage is 2.0V.
The charging voltage of the LFP battery cell is recommended as 3.65V, 14.6V+-0.2V for a 12.8V battery. 3.65V per cell is proven to be a reasonable charging voltage after long-time practical use.
The relevant voltage of the LFP battery is different in different conditions. Mainly in 3 cases, open-circuit voltage (OCV), charging condition, and discharging condition. In applications, the charging and discharging voltage are more useful, involving a reasonable set of end voltages to ensure that the battery works in a good and stable situation.
LFP Battery Voltage In Charging Condition(0.5C, 25℃)
Here, 0.5C means charging at a current of 0.5*(number of capacity)A. For example, a 12.8V100Ah LFP battery is charged at 14.6V with 50A current. SOC means the State Of Charge, which means the percentage of energy remaining.
The charging curve is shown below:
The voltage will be different if charge with a different number of current. The bigger the current, the higher the voltage.
LFP Battery Voltage In Discharge Condition(0.5C, 25℃)
Just like the above condition in CHARGE, here for a 12.8V100Ah battery, it means discharge at 50A.
Note the related voltage will also be different if the discharge current is different.
For most energy storage applications, a DOD of 80% is reasonable and effective.
Based on the above data, the end voltage can be set at 12.55V, but please note that for smaller currents such as 10A, the discharge depth will still exceed 80% even when the voltage is higher than 12.55V.
And it is recommended to set the overcharge voltage at 15.60V to avoid overcharging the battery.
Notes for Voltage Difference
1. The voltages of different lithium batteries from different materials are different.
2. For the same LFP battery, same SOC (for example 20%), the voltage varies depending on the discharge current. The higher the discharge current, the lower the voltage.
3. The effect of ambient temperature on the battery voltage. The lower the temperature, the lower the voltage.
4. The impact after cycle use. After a long time of use, the voltage will also be different.
5. Different manufacturers, the different capacities of LFP batteries, the discharge voltage is slightly different.
OK, hope this post will help you understand more about the LFP battery voltage and SOC/Capacity, then a better use of your precious LFP battery.
12V LFP Battery
12V LFP battery is an easy replacement for 12V lead-acid battery, only required to replace the battery, even no need to change the cables. Now with affordable prices and improved BMS technology, Sunon 12V LFP battery is perfect for energy storage applications such as solar & renewable industry, telecom base station, UPS & backup power, CCTV & security system, etc.

The Fisher Building was was designed by Albert Kahn and it was constructed in 1928. The Detroit skyscraper is 30 stories high and it is primarily made out of limestone, granite, and several types of marble. Inside you can find a variety of businesses as well as 21 elevators and a theatre that holds around 2,000 people every showing. In a few weeks it will become the location for the next Flint Eastwood album release party. But, before it becomes a concert venue it will become the host to The Fisher Halfpipe a pop up half pipe that will be located inside the lobby for the next three days.
The half pipe will host a variety of skaters and BMX riders from 6 p.m. through 9 p.m. today, tomorrow and Wednesday. The purpose of this pop up is to highlight the, "way that certain sports, such as skateboarding, transcend barriers of race, class, and culture to draw disparate groups into community".
This community event is free to attend all three days. Feel free to come down and watch the skaters or to take some unique pictures as the Fisher provides an interesting background for this type of sport.
The Fisher Theatre is located at 3011 West Grand Boulevard.

Nicola from Hands Across the Sea Samplers tells us:
"We believe that this traditional English sampler was stitched by Eliza 'as the first efforts of a youthful hand,' in the first half of the 19th century, as part of her education. The sampler shows aptitude for needlework and her stitching is precise. The sampler was executed in fine silks which some 200 years later have retained their vibrancy. Regrettably the sampler yields no further insights into Eliza and it is only against a background of the period in which she lived that we can 'get a glimpse' of what life was like for her and other Victorian women. It takes a considerable leap of imagination for a 21st century woman to realise what her life would have been like if she had been born in Eliza's time and walked in her footsteps." Stitches used are cross over one and two threads, satin, and Algerian eyelet.

Dessay's singing is not entirely consistent throughout the album, recorded in 2010, whether because some arias are simply better suited to her voice than others, or because she was not at her best for some of the recording sessions.

RT America -- May 12, 2014
A 23-year-old journalist who was shot in Mariupol, Ukraine Friday has been airlifted to Moscow for medical treatment. The young journalist works for Ruptly, RT's video agency, and was shot in the abdomen despite wearing a bullet-proof vest marked "PRESS." Three days of negotiations took place before the Ukrainian government approved a medical transport flight to bring him to Moscow for further treatment. RT's Egor Piskunov has more details on the journalist's ordeal.
Open-information activists are calling a new rule being implemented by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence a "gag order" on public debate. The rule in question prohibits employees of the office from publically discussing or writing about leaked information. Activists believe this will prevent employees from speaking out on perceived wrongdoing by the intelligence community, forcing them to repeat official positions given by government officials. As many note, these official positions and the truth are often very different. RT's Lindsay France discusses the controversial new policy with Kathleen McClellan, the national security and human rights counsel for the Government Accountability Project.

Here we are again, rambling on about our thoughts, our feelings, and our perspectives. Join our host at Bookishly Boisterous, to see what others are chatting about. Let’s grab some coffee and have a chat.
Welcome to another Coffee Chat. I planned to write it at my Rainy Days and Mondays blog. I do like changing things up, and since I’m pretty much done with rearranging my apartment, the blogs are the next focus for me. LOL. But, I ended up back at An Interior Journey! This week has brought some good books again. First, I read and reviewed an Amazon Vine book: Lifelines, by Heidi Diehl. Next I was glued to the pages of The Lying Room, by Nicci French. (Click titles for my reviews).
- Now I am intrigued by Demi Moore’s memoir Inside Out. I ordered the hardcover version for the photos.
- I’ve seen most of her movies, and I even stayed awake for her appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s late show the other night. I do miss my DVR, though; back in those days, I could record late shows to watch the next day.
- I have a stack of hardcover books awaiting my attention:
- On Monday, I went boot shopping. Yes, time to set aside the sandals, and the boots I already had…well, the heels were too high! So here’s what I bought, and they’re actually comfortable.
- Last night, I was trying to shoot photos of the dining room, etc., and nothing was working on my phone. I was in a state of panic, of course; but then noticed that there was a software update available, so I thought: why not? It worked. But I was nervous, since sometimes those updates mess everything up.
- Last week I mentioned massive PG&E outages…and I’m happy to report that ours stayed on throughout. I think the outages helped in the areas with wildfires.
- I was also waiting for a doll that I “lost” in the move, but the one that came was just as tiny as the previous one. But I’m thinking they work well together.
- I still have a collection of dolls in a garage near my daughter’s house. She has reluctantly agreed to take me there…just to find another old favorite or two. Then I’ll be done. LOL.
That was my week…what did yours look like?

CKE Restaurants, the discern agency of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, these days introduced the hole of its 1,000th global eating place. The milestone eating place is placed in Madrid, Spain, and springs amid a formidable global growth approach that specializes in Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and extra.
— BERNAMA (@bernamadotcom) May 11, 2021
In total, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s have extra than 3,900 eating places in forty-four U.S. states and forty international locations and U.S. territories. The agency will input Peru this year, making it forty-one international locations.
CKE has had a global presence for forty years, however, growth has extended in current years. In fact, approximately 60% of CKE’s improvement from the beyond 10 years has come from global markets.
For CEO Ned Lyerly, this milestone is a “depend on pride” for the agency, and for him personally. Lyerly has been with the agency for a maximum of these forty years, with roles that blanketed overseeing the global commercial enterprise and worldwide franchise improvement efforts.
“I turned into there while we hit one hundred and 500 and now 1,000. This sincerely places us into the pinnacle tier of chains that have a global presence. It’s a small listing and it’s one of the appealing components of our commercial enterprise,” Lyerly stated all through a telecellsmartphone interview final week.
One hundred years of company experience
Though it took forty years to hit 1,000, CKE Restaurants’ purpose is to double that during simply 5 years. For Lyerly and Mike Woida, president of CKE Restaurants’ International Division, this extended tempo makes lots of experience now, no matter the lingering worldwide pandemic.
The agency has skilled a double-digit compound annual boom price for the beyond 10 years in its global commercial enterprise, which has each boosted logo recognition and the agency’s dexterity in scaling.
Further, whilst Covid-19 may also have slowed the tempo a bit, it’s been beneficial for quick-provider manufacturers that in no way needed to close down their businesses, which includes each Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s.
“We’re nevertheless suffering in a few markets, however, the pandemic supercharged our overall performance in a number of markets. Our current franchisees are seeing income and site visitors boom and that they need to construct extra eating places.
Prospective franchisee applicants are enthusiastic about how the entire phase is appearing and that they need to be part of that. They’ve visible the vulnerability of limited-channel informal concepts, in order that they consider QSR is an exceptional investment, in particular in markets with a number of room to grow,” Woida stated.
The function of the company in the market
Priority markets as this improvement keep consist of the ones wherein CKE’s manufacturers are already properly penetrated. Mexico, for example, presently has approximately three hundred eating places with plans to get to 500, whilst the Middle East presently has approximately four hundred with plans to attain six hundred to 700. Woida stated there’s a “large white space” in Africa and China as properly.
“We’re constructing on the dimensions we already have. We suppose 70% of our boom withinside the subsequent 1,000 eating places will come from markets we’re already in–wherein the heavy lifting has already been executed for recognition, deliver chain and extra,” Lyerly stated.
That stated, the agency is likewise hoping to go into Germany and the United Kingdom in 2022, further to Peru this year.

A massive cyber attack is planned on personal checking accounts at as many as 30 banks across the country.
Security firm McAfee released a report Thursday warning about the cyberattack that's aimed at stealing millions of dollars from consumers' bank accounts. McAfee's research supports a report security company RSA released in October.
Now that knowledge of the scheme has gone public, RSA says the organization behind the cyberattack has disappeared from chat rooms.

IT’S one of the biggest towns in the UK, but it still has no direct link to London.
Now rail campaigners are urging the Government to give Huddersfield a fast train line to the capital.
Residents of neighbouring Brighouse celebrated when a direct 125mph service between their town and London was announced last week.
But Huddersfield, Penistone and Sheffield Rail Users Association (HPSRUA) say Huddersfield passengers must still travel to Leeds, Wakefield or Sheffield to reach London by rail.
Passengers can also get to the capital via Manchester Picadilly, but this is generally a more expensive option.
When the Bradford to London service opens in December, travellers will be able to catch a fast service five miles away in Brighouse. But HPSRUA says Huddersfield deserves its own link.
The organisation says the Government should release funds to open a second track along the Penistone Line between Huddersfield and Sheffield.
The line currently has just one track which means trains must use passing loops to allow engines travelling in the opposite direction to pass.
The journey from Huddersfield to Sheffield takes around one hour and 20 minutes.
The double track Penistone line was reduced to a single line in the 1980s.
But former HPSRUA treasurer Peter Unwin says the line has the infrastructure to lay down a second line which will allow trains to travel express to London via Sheffield. Mr Unwin says this would mean a rail time between Huddersfield and London of around two hours 50 minutes with no need to change.
HPSRUA committee member Mr Unwin said: “Ever since the line was single-tracked they’ve regretted it.
“The best thing for Huddersfield and South Kirklees is for the line to be double-tracked compared to the cost of building a new line or a new motorway.
“The Penistone Line is overcrowded and very slow. If a train breaks down it causes chaos.
“We’ve had promises of extra housing in South Kirklees and we need better infrastructure. The roads won’t cope.
“I think Penistone Line operator Northern Rail would be quite happy to see double track, but the Government doesn’t want to spend any money on it.”

Fresh off his tour opening for Radiohead, turntablist Kid Koala (aka Eric San) appears with Bullfrog on the Canadian group's full-length debut. The band previously issued two EPs, and much of the material on this Ropeadope release consists of new versions of songs from the EPs. The quintet, here supplemented by Koala as well as MC Blu Rum 13 (aka James Sobers), is basically a groove outfit, anchored by bassist Peter Santiago and drummer Massimo Sansalone. While it is Koala and Rum who separate the unit from the pack, the music itself isn't especially outstanding, nor -- for that matter -- is Koala's scratching. However, the two complement each other nicely, creating a nice textural bed. A highlight of the disc, if only for its potential energy, is the cut "Live, Somewhere Else," where Rum freestyles along with Koala as the DJ throws out a sample. Unlike his expansively melodic sets opening for Radiohead, Koala's work is limited almost exclusively to rhythmic scratching, which certainly diminishes his impact as a DJ.

- The spokesperson of Department of the State Services (DSS), Peter Afunanya, has reacted to a media report stating some operatives of the agency were kidnapped in Abuja
- Afunanya described the report as false, stating that no DSS operative was kidnapped in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)
- The media report had stated that some gunmen killed a vigilante and kidnapped an unknown number of DSS operatives
FCT, Abuja - The Department of the State Services (DSS) has refuted a media report that bandits in Abaji council area of the Federal Capital Territory abducted some of its operatives.
A media report had earlier stated that gunmen suspected to be bandits had stormed a community in the council in the wee hours of Saturday, December 18, and abducted an unspecified number of DSS operatives.
The report, quoting eyewitnesses, said gunmen besieged the locality and shot sporadically for hours leaving one vigilante operative dead and an unknown number of operatives of the secret police kidnapped.
However, The Guardian reported that DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, in a terse response, described the report as false, saying:
Do you have a groundbreaking story you would like us to publish? Please reach us through firstname.lastname@example.org!
“No DSS personnel was abducted in Abaji or anywhere in the FCT.”
Abaji, located along the Abuja-Lokoja expressway, is notorious for series of crimes, including highway robbery and abduction of travellers.
Panic as kidnappers murder top Nigerian lawmaker
In another report, Rilwanu Gadagau, a member of the Kaduna State House of Assembly representing Giwa West, was killed by abductors on Wednesday, December 15, after he was kidnapped on Monday, December 13.
Gadagau was said to have been killed by the criminals while they headed to their hideout in the forest. The abductors kidnapped at least two travellers in the attack.
Close sources said the lawmaker spoke last with one of his colleagues, Shehu Yunusa, before he was killed. One of the sources said:
“They were on phone with his colleague Shehu Yunusa on that fateful night, telling his member colleague that he was informed about kidnapping incident taking place ahead of them. He was contemplating on either returning to Kaduna or proceeding to Zaria when he abruptly took excuse and hung the phone."

Are you having trouble finding the perfect color for your kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom?
Are you going for a more modern look?
Are you looking for something trendy?
Here are a few tips to choose the perfect paint color for your home:
- Try samples
- View swatches in natural light
- Live with the colors
- Customize colors by adding more white or black to make an existing color lighter or darker
- Color your ceiling
According to HGTV, “With so many options to choose from, nailing down just the right hue can be tough. To make the selection process easier, it's smart to test out several paint colors along one wall and live with them for a few days, noting how they look both day and night. Label the painted swatches with painter's tape so you'll remember which color you liked best.”

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to classify bones by their shape.
Additionally, you’ll discover the structural makeup of bone and the different bone markings.
Bones can be described in many ways, and one of the easiest ways to categorize them is by their shape. There are five main shapes of bones. These are long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones.Long bones are longer than they are wide and are primarily responsible for the structural support of our skeleton. Examples include the femur, or thigh bone, and the bones which make up our arms: the humerus, ulna, and radius.Short bones are as wide as they are long.
These provide support and stability with little movement. Examples of short bones are the tarsals in the foot and carpals in the hand. These are the bones that make up your ankle and wrist, respectively.
Flat bones are just that: flat. They provide surface area for protection or provide a flat surface for muscle to attach to. The best examples of flat bones are our ribs (think about all the organs that your rib cage protects!).Irregular bones are bones that don’t fall squarely into any other category. These bones tend to be oddly shaped. Vertebrae from our spinal column and most of the bones which make up our face are considered irregular bones.
Sesamoid bones are bones imbedded within a tendon. These are found where a tendon passes over a joint (a location where two or more bones connect, such as your elbow or your knee). They protect the tendon and increase the efficiency of the joint.
A great example of a sesamoid bone is the patella, or kneecap.
Types of Bone Tissue
So, now that we know how to classify bones by shape, let’s discuss the different types of osseous, or bone, tissue. There are two types of osseous tissue which form the bones of our skeleton. These are compact, or cortical bone, and spongy, or cancellous bone.Cortical, or compact bone, is what most people think of when you say the word ‘bone.’ This osseous tissue is what forms the outside shell, or cortex, of bones.
Think of this like the skin of an apple. Compact bone makes up about 80% of the human skeleton and is directly responsible for providing structural support for our muscles, protection for our internal organs, and the release of calcium to form new bone and repair damaged bone.Cancellous, or spongy bone, is typically found at the end of long bones.
This is a dense tissue which contains red bone marrow. It is ‘spongy’ because it has a lattice made up of spicules, or tiny needle-shaped pieces of bone, which resembles a sponge. This lattice allows for cancellous bone to have a greater surface area than cortical bone, so it is the location where metabolic activity of bones occurs.
Bone Tissue Layers
The endosteum lines the medullary cavity, or the hollow portion in the middle of a long bone.
Bone marrow is found inside our bones, and it is part of the lymphatic system, which helps support our body’s immune system. There are two types of bone marrow, red and yellow. Red bone marrow is the site of hematopoiesis, or red blood cell formation. Platelets and lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, are also produced in red bone marrow.
In addition to being found at the end of long bones, red bone marrow is primarily found in flat bones, such as the pelvis, sternum, and ribs.Yellow bone marrow is made up of fat, or adipose cells. Yellow marrow is only found in the medullary cavity.
When we’re young, all the bone marrow in our bodies is red bone marrow. As we get older, about half of our bone marrow is converted to yellow bone marrow. However, if we get severely injured or lose a lot of blood, we can temporarily convert yellow bone marrow to red in order to help restore the amount of red blood cells in our body.
When you look at a bone, you may notice there are many different surfaces; there are bumps, protrusions, and grooves. We call these structures bone markings.A diaphysis is the main or mid-section of a long bone, also known as the shaft of the bone.
It is made up of cortical or compact bone. This is where primary ossification (or turning minerals into bone) occurs.
A fossa is a depression or hollow in bone; ‘fossa’ in Latin means ‘ditch’ or ‘trench.
‘ An example of a fossa is the glenoid cavity on the scapula, or shoulder blade. This concave depression is what attaches the scapula to the head of the humerus, the bone which makes up your upper arm.A trochanter is a protrusion off the femur, or thigh bone. In humans, we have the greater trochanter and the lesser trochanter. The trochanters help form our hips.
Condyles are found at the ends of bones, typically helping to form a joint. Condyles resemble knuckles. You have a pair of condyles on your femur, which make up the back of your knee. Take a moment and feel the inside of your elbow; feel that bump? That is the medial epicondyle of your humerus.
The easiest way to classify bones is by their shape.
There are long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid bones. No matter what their shape, bones are made up of compact, or cortical, bone, as well as spongy, or cancellous, bone. Our bones are lined on the outside with a tissue layer called the periosteum and on the inside by a tissue layer called the endosteum. The endosteum lines the medullary cavity, which is where bone marrow is found.All bones contain bone marrow, which is either red or yellow. Red bone marrow is where red blood cells are formed. Yellow bone marrow is made up of fat or adipose cells.
Each bone can have bone markings, or ways to describe the different projections and grooves in the bone. There are several types of bone markings; a few examples of these are the diaphysis, fossa, trochanter, and condyle.
