What is life worth in Monoprix sweaters? Nothing. So much so that Stéphane Roger starts by doing in front of us what he prefers to do since he's a kid: out of costumes. More rhinestones, less stress. He seems very happy to have brought a big cigar for the photo (he finally gave up) and enthusiastic about riding Rillette for the shooting – the huge cockroach-vulva in spongy matter that sat in the room. show Uncle Gourdin and to whom he repeats "Give the papatte". He also shows us this leopard print jacket he was able to recover from the last filming of Christophe Honoré. In the next film of it, titled Chamber music, it will be the "Will" of Chiara Mastroianni and will wear a wig Aznavour way since he imitates as a person (he made a show, Stéphane Roger sings with the voice of Aznavour). It will be one of the rare occasions to see in cinema this fellinian ogre which restores all its nobility and savagery to the term "jester". For now, only fans of Zerep, the "troupe" of Sophie Perez and Xavier Boussiron, are known. (read Release of January 13, 2017), of which he is the machine of war, the stick of dynamite or, say, the venerable bidet.
We came to meet him because we owe him moments of grace hallucinating pile between dreams and nightmares: the memory of him freewheeling absolute, sprinting naked ass in the spans of the room of the center Pompidou to come to wallow on the stage stage, replaying the operation again and again, according to the rules of a comic repetition stretching to the supernatural. The memory of him grimaced in poop, playing Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker cat-cock version. Or disguised him in bloom in the horrifying children's show Babarman – a role entitled "Big Petal". And from him, of course, compiling exquisite surreal corpses, the billions of bodies, postures, mimicry, which he ingests while watching Miss France, At the theater tonight, Jean-Claude Brialy, the boulevard a little rotten, and spits on the set as if he was hunting the good taste of French theater. "But what I prefer in life, he introduced almost timidly, it's spending hours at a café terrace watching people's actions. I also love watching monkeys at the zoo." There is an exchange of views between us, at this precise moment, the time we understand who will be the monkey of the day.
Slibard and crocodile boots
At the risk of the paranoid, there is something kamikaze to meet this actor, as it should not be safe to discuss with Daumier or Reiser. No one is immune to finding a deformed and monstrous version of himself in a future show, let alone if one devotes a little too much to the spirit of seriousness, to the "too self-conscious" , to the pompous lyricism – these tiny manifestations of the ordinary pathos that are, for this vicaristic cartoonist, whey which he delights on stage with the enthusiasm of the vulture baby shredding his piece of placenta. This is also the first thing that his colleagues emphasize when they describe this formidable game monster vociferating in their ears Aznavour (still him) – preferably in slibard and boots croco: this genius with which he seizes the similarity of expression between the bourgeois ordering her pie at the bakery and the face a little sorry for a dachshund boring in the middle of the sidewalk. Some take advantage of this kind of disposition to befriend politics in humorous chronicles. He, less focused on words than on the subject, preferred the territory more nefarious and nebulous art, where Antonin Artaud tutoie Jacqueline Maillan, where the mouths of the TV show Striptease reach the sublime of a Hieronymus Bosch, where laughter is always frightening.
In cinema, it would have been perfect at Fellini. He shares with the great Italian actors of the 60s this taste for "Make mouths and huge stuff, completely fattened. That's right, I like excess, excess as in the commedia dell'arte. He would surely share this consideration of the Italian director: "That's the stupidity: always we throw on spontaneity, naivety, a kind of interpretation, that's very stuffy." As if by chance, Michel Piccoli in feast, he likes that. And also Michel Serrault in the Mocky. And in general the register of the hound too quickly irritated. And then, poof, we find Pina Bausch. It was in 1982. Stéphane Roger discovers Nelken of the German choreographer in the courtyard of the Palais des Papes in Avignon: "The tray was covered with a pile of carnations. There was a huge guy coming in, chest hair with a gold chain and two yorkies under his arms. I thought, "That's what I want to do." That is, to devote his life more "To the show only in the theater. I like the lyrics, but after a while it annoys me, I always want to overflow! "
"Candor and pornography"
Moreover, he never tried the grandes écoles, "Conservatories, thing thing thing". He was a student at Niels Arestrup's Theater-School of Passage, where he improvised for hours Andy Warhol with his mother, or Duras at the beach. Then came the meeting with Sophie Perez. He kidding in his plays as in his "Peeps". Perez considers it his "muzzle" (the masculinization of "muse" that she invented): "He works on the form, as Karl Valentin or Keaton knew how to do it, that's why it's not Christian Clavier. At home, there is candor and pornography at the same time. It's incomprehensible, an actor like him who greets the public by showing his bullet hole … There is terror and violence in him. " This is what makes us eager to see him emptied in Feydeau well scato: "Finally, be careful, he warns by swallowing a laugh, Purge baby purge [nouvelle création du Zerep, ndlr], it starts as We are purging baby and after that, skids. " And it probably skips to what the essayist George Minois was trying to grasp when he spoke of Aristophanes and this ancient era, that of aggressive laughter, where one covered his opponents with excrement: "Is it not the greatest lesson of humility to remember with laughter that the most sublime conduct is rooted in matter and instinct, which we share with animals?"

A non-job-related ailment affected your capacity to work, so long-term disability insurance replaces between 50 and 70% of your prior wages. It is essential to join an LTD plan given by your company within the first enrollment period when you can’t be denied coverage due to an existing medical condition.
Short Term Disability (STD) plans can be employed first, followed by Long Term Disability (LTD), or both.
Before you are qualified to start collecting LTD benefits, typical LTD plans include a phase of waiting that lasts between three to twenty-six weeks, which is the same amount of time you can get STD benefits. The LTD carrier must receive ongoing requests for comprehensive medical records from the claimant for them to maintain eligibility for benefits. Your benefit will be terminated if you fail to comply. Many insurance policies do not compel you to keep paying premiums if you are deemed incapacitated for more than 90 days.
Most people who suffer from a crippling illness never imagined that they would also suffer at the hands of their insurance company. They never anticipated the necessity for a long-term disability attorney to assist them in obtaining their rightful disability compensation.
When the time does come for you to make a claim, the procedure may seem daunting and difficult, particularly if you are also seeking to take care of yourself. At this point, a long-term disability attorney’s assistance may be valuable. When submitting a claim or constructing an appeal for a rejection of benefits, having legal assistance may be beneficial in a variety of ways.
As you read on, you will discover more about the roles and ways in which a long-term disability claims attorney may guide you in filing disability claims. This will additionally outline the many factors, like qualifications, experience, and success rate, that ought to be taken into mind when selecting the LTD attorney for your case.
The Role of a Long-Term Disability Claims Lawyer
A long-term disability claims attorney is essential in the claims process since they represent clients’ interests and offer legal advice. The attorney guides clients through the difficult administrative and legal processes involved in making a long-term disability claim. In addition to dealing with insurers to secure a fair settlement, they advocate for clients in obtaining and putting forward evidence to substantiate their claims. This may consist of the client’s health records, witness testimonies, and other additional evidence.
Moreover, a lawyer can assist clients in appealing a denial of a long-term disability claim. The attorney can examine the grounds for the rejection, spot any mistakes or omissions made throughout the application procedure, and assist the client in creating a compelling appeal.
Criteria for Selecting a Long-Term Disability Claims Lawyer
To make sure you get the ideal attorney to fight for you, it’s vital to take note of several factors when hiring a long-term disability claims lawyer. What follows are some crucial aspects to take into account while choosing a long-term disability claims attorney.
It’s vital to select an attorney who specializes in LTD claims and has various experiences in those cases. They have to be well-versed in the legislation, standards, and procedures related to similar cases, since knowing this will improve their ability to manage your case successfully, improving your chances of prevailing.
Reputation and success rate are also important factors to think about. You should pick a lawyer who has a solid reputation in the legal field and a history of effectively defending people in instances just like yours. You may evaluate a lawyer’s reputation and record using client referrals and testimonies.
Furthermore, communication and availability are similarly crucial. You need a lawyer who will address your queries and worries right away and who will provide you with frequent updates on how the case is progressing. You can contact an approachable attorney to talk about your case and resolve all your concerns in person, over calls, or via email.
The final important element to take into account when choosing an LTD lawyer is prices and payment plans. Some attorneys work on a contingency basis, indicating that they are only compensated if you prevail in court. Some lawyers bill by the hour. It’s crucial to comprehend the pricing schedule and payment terms upfront to avoid any unanticipated expenses afterward.
Common Issues in Long-Term Disability Claims
There are several, minor or major, grounds for rejecting long-term disability claims. Even a small mistake on your claim form or a missed deadline can have a big impact on your life. Sadly, it happens much too often that disability applications are rejected and these are some instances:
- Not meeting the criteria for a disability
The term “disability” will be defined specifically in your insurance contract. You need to fulfill this description for you to be qualified for these benefits.
Certain guidelines define disability in a broader sense referring to “any occupation” you can carry out for a specified income. Most rules define “disability” as a person’s incapacity to execute obligations under their regular work or “own occupation.” Your plan’s concept of disability may shift after a predetermined period of time, often 24 months. Additionally, certain disability insurance plans don’t cover conditions that presently exist. You need to understand exactly how your LTD insurance policy defines disability.
- Inadequate medical documentation
You must demonstrate that your illness or accident has kept you from working so as to qualify for long-term disability compensation. You cannot substantiate your claim without the assistance of at least one of your treating doctors.
Your treating doctors frequently get attending physician’s statement papers from insurance providers. Never depend on the insurance provider’s paperwork. They just ask for things that will provide the bare minimum of data required to uphold the law and their own judgment. Ask your physician and other healthcare providers to submit a statement on your behalf by getting in touch with them personally.
- Unclear evidence supporting disability
Should your medical documentation, financial statements, and regular activities be inconsistent, your insurance provider may reject your claim or stop paying you for disability payments. You may also utilize your social media postings to support your allegations. Do not overstate your restrictions to your insurance provider; instead, adhere to your doctor’s orders. If it is found that you gave inaccurate information or made false representations, your claim will be disregarded.
- Contradicting medical assessments
For the purpose of determining your suitability for LTD compensation, insurers might hire medical professionals and conduct tests.
The results of these tests might clash with your doctor’s diagnosis since they may be unreliable or tilted in the insurer’s favor. They frequently cite the findings as evidence that you are not impaired. Still, the insurance provider has the right to reject your claim if you decide not to comply with it.
When any of these tests have been required by your insurance provider, you need to speak with a lawyer right at once.
- Inaccuracies or delays in your claim
As soon as you receive your diagnosis, you must submit your LTD claim since most insurance policies call for notice within 60 days. The insurance provider may reject your claim for failure to provide timely notification if you missed this due date.
You should make every effort to compile every health record and any other supporting paperwork before submitting your claim. regardless of whether you lack all the required paperwork, file your claim as promptly as possible. Then, update your insurance provider as you obtain more information.
We strongly advise you to enlist the assistance of an experienced LTD attorney to aid you to traverse the challenging appeals system. You shouldn’t attempt to learn disability law by yourself at this time.

What is Islamic Banking ?
Many religions across the world have prohibited the use of money as a mechanism to make even more money. The concept of interest is banned in Christianity, Judaism as well as Islam. However, in the modern day world, only Islamic nations and individuals still follow the rules which prohibit collection of interest.
Entire nations in the Middle East, Northern Africa and South East Asia did not have the concept of a bank. It was only in 1963 that the first Islamic bank was set up in Egypt. Later, in the next decade or so, more Islamic banks were set up in countries like Malaysia. In the modern day world, Islamic banking has spread far and wide and is followed in many countries. In this article, we will discuss what Islamic banking is and how it helps Muslims meet their financial needs while ensuring that religious laws are not broken.
What is Islamic Banking ?
Islamic banking is the operation of banks which are consistent with the Sharia law. Since the Sharia law prohibits the collection of interest as well as any transactions which allow speculation, it is in conflict with the basic tenets of banking. Therefore the challenge in Islamic banking is to meet the financial needs of people while staying in line with the Sharia law.
Islamic banks seem to have found a business model which allows them to do so. This business model is basically made of three different modes. These modes further branch out into banking products that are used by individuals. The three modes are as follows:
Partnership Based Mode
Islamic banks cannot charge interest to the customers. However, they are allowed to charge a profit when they sell products. Hence, when a Muslim customer needs to buy a house, they can approach banks for finance. The bank can first purchase the house in its own name. Later, the bank can resell the house to the customer. While conducting this resale transaction the bank can charge a good amount of profit margin. Also, the bank can provide installment payment facility to the buyers. The buyers can therefore pay the banks in installments just like they would do if they took out a mortgage.
However, the loans made by Islamic banks are different than the ones made by usual banks. Since there is no concept of interest, there is obviously no concept of amortization. Hence, interest is not charged on a periodic basis. Instead, it is charged as a fixed amount and is spread out over the multiple installments that the buyer has to pay. The basic nature of the borrower lender relationship is changed to a buyer seller relationship to ensure that it is in line with Islamic principles. Also, Islamic laws prescribe some tenets which must be fulfilled for the sale to be valid. For instance, items which do not exist cannot be sold and the sale must be final and absolute etc.
Trade Based Mode
In the trade based mode, the bank may provide finance as an advance payment to the customer. This payment is for goods which have to be delivered at a later date. The advance payment can be lower than the spot price of goods which are available in the market.
Therefore, a bank can provide finance which is less than equivalent to the price of goods and the borrower has to deliver goods to the bank. The bank can then resell the goods at the spot price to the borrower. The difference between the lower amount advanced by the bank and the higher sale proceeds earn by the bank result in profit being earned by them. Therefore, the bank acts as a trading partner who purchases the products at a lower price and then sells them back at the correct price. Money generated by the bank is therefore the result of proceeds of trade and it is not in the form of interest which is outlawed by Sharia.
Rental Based Mode
The last type of mode is the rental mode. In this mode, the bank purchases the asset on behalf of the customer. They then lease the same asset to the customer for a given period of time. The customer usually does not have the option to cancel the lease during that given period. At the end of the lease period, the asset is then sold to the customer at a pre-determined nominal price via a separate sale agreement.
This type of arrangement is often used for automobile financing. The bank leases cars to the customers who can then use it for a specified period. After the period is over they can purchase the car from the bank for a very small price.
Thus, Islamic banks do not collect any money in the form of interest. However, they are still able to meet the financial needs of individuals who want to buy a car for instance!
Apart from the above mentioned products, Islamic banks have several products which are on offer. The need of the modern consumer has led to the creation of multiple ways of financing new products while still being compliant with the Sharia law. Also, Islamic banking is spreading across borders and is becoming popular in many countries with a sizeable Muslim population. Islamic banks have started coming up in countries like India as well which do not follow Islam as the state religion.

Wildflowers of the Tallgrass Prairie
This collection profiles wildflowers of the tallgrass prairie. Stretching over 250 million acres, the tallgrass prairie was once the largest ecosystem in the United States. Its deep rich soils made excellent farmland. By 1860, most of the tallgrass prairies had fallen to the plow. Today, only about one million acres remain, making tallgrass prairie one of the most threatened natural communities. Native grasses form the prairie framework, comprising 50 to 95 percent of the vegetation. The four dominant species in the tallgrass prairie are little bluestem, big bluestem, Indiangrass, and switchgrass. Forbs (broadleaf herbs), an integral part of the prairie, provide most of the species diversity. Most prairie species are perennials that die back in the winter. The wildflowers included in this collection are some of the most common tallgrass prairie species.

It's quite amazing that man find company other than man they enjoy having pet. People have different kinds of domestic pets. The best friend of man among pets are the dogs but not less than or equal to is the cats. Cats and dogs are the closest pets of the man. Unlike the dogs cats enjoy more freedom at home.
Cats being the capable domestic pets they are preferred in Bhutan mainly to get rid of the pests. I too love cats as i have grown with one. Cats have a unique nature which makes me enjoy their company when they are around. The way they swing their hands when we throw the strings and play with them makes me happy actually. But most of all their fur are soft and tender which when felt gives me a good feelings.
Having a pet is like having a gift of happiness and joy.

Copenhagen explores the City as a Green Ecosystem-Exhibition
Under the title Urban Nature, The Museum of Copenhagen zooms in on the role of nature in Copenhagen’s past and present through two brand new exhibitions and two new museum gardens. With an entire program of events, free city walks, guided tours, and educational activities, the museum aims to make an active contribution to debates on how we can use nature in the city.
“Today more than ever, we need to learn how to use nature without destroying it, something that can’t happen as long as we keep thinking of nature and culture as opposites. With Urban Nature, The Museum of Copenhagen wants to contribute to understanding the city as a large ecosystem and our shared respect for the diversity, vulnerability, and power of nature. With its new exhibitions and gardens, the museum explores the significance of strengthening, protecting, and integrating nature in city development, life and identity, and emphasizes the importance of each city dweller’s personal and pleasurable interaction with urban nature,” says the museum director Jette Sandahl.
Urban nature exhibitions, gardens, and events
Copenhagen is full of parks, green backyards, and city gardens that we all use in different ways to relax and grow things or as building blocks in city infrastructure. All of this focuses on the exhibition Urban Nature, which takes visitors through the past and present of the city. The exhibition gathers exhibits from the museum’s collections and presents images and stories from Copenhagen alongside other cities in the world.
The exhibition explores urban nature from three perspectives, emphasizing the value nature adds to city life in different ways. The first section of the exhibition focuses on allotments and urban gardens in Copenhagen and the fresh produce supply to the city. Culture, recreation, and an active outdoor life form the core of the second perspective, exploring the influence of nature on health and quality of city life. The last part of the exhibition zooms in on the social and environmental challenges city development has faced and how nature can be used as a solution and source of inspiration.
The exhibition has been developed in dialogue with Kasper Guldager (GXN), Jonas Maria Schul (Schul Landscape Architects), and the urban farmer Signe Voltelen. The exhibition is designed by GXN and produced by Kuubo.
The Dream of a City
The Dream of a City is an exhibition created by the Danish TV presenter Shane Brox, who invites children and adults to shape the city of the future using their dreams and imagination. In the exhibition, visitors can build the houses of the future, environmentally friendly skyscrapers, city kitchen gardens, and much more using thousands of Lego pieces. Buildings from the museum’s model city, archaeological finds, and toys from the museum’s collections connect the past and the present in Shane Brox’s unique universe.
Two New Museum Gardens
New gardens are now growing in front of and behind the museum. The garden in the museum forecourt is made up of classical elements of Copenhagen, with pedestrian crossings and granite paving combined with trees, lawns, and raised garden beds. The garden is being planted and grown by pupils from several local schools and designed by Schul Landscape Architects.
The museum garden continues further up the street, where a telephone box from 1896 on Absalonsgade has been transformed into a greenhouse full of plants. The greenhouse has been developed by the urban farmer Signe Voltelen, and during the summer, local schools and daycare centers will be looked after.
The back garden of the museum is the creation of the Chicago artist Barbara Cooper. She designed the garden after spending two months in Copenhagen.
She studied the city’s gardens, archaeological finds at the museum, and the cultivated landscape surrounding it – from farming land to recreational areas and military complexes. The garden, which she has called Intersections, represents the meeting between nature and culture and negotiations between the two. All the gardening has been done by the landscape gardener Anders Matthiessen Aps.
Keeping a strong Museum of Copenhagen tradition alive, there are free summer city walks, and every weekend there are free guided tours of the museum’s exhibitions and gardens. You can also follow the special children’s urban nature trail through the exhibitions.
To accompany the exhibition and new gardens, the museum hosts guided tours, city walks, and a whole program of events throughout 2014.
Urban Nature is part of Sharing Copenhagen, Copenhagen Green Capital 2014.

Anything is interesting if you tell it as a good story. I’ve said it before but periodontics is often regarded as dull as dishwater. And if dentists view it in this way, is it any wonder that patients do not buy into it? So let’s think again.
Periodontics is a wonderful story of a mystical subgingival world. It is a living, breathing world of dragons and knights, and battles between good and evil. Organisms living in this complex world are locked in a constant struggle between destruction and regeneration. It’s an ever-changing urban jungle – the good, the bad and the downright ugly.
Sometimes the good guys win, and all is well, while sometimes the bad guys do, and their implacable course of annihilation is allowed to continue.
But don’t despair, the Fifth Ultrasonic Brigade is on its way, bristling with modern technology to come to the rescue. The good guys eventually win out, and calm and health reign once again. The evil sub-gingival empire is no more.
It’s a wonderful world of architectural design and construction. The gingival complex is a beautiful architectural structure, with beams of collagen radiating out to create the perfect aesthetic and functional smile design. Michelangelo, eat your heart out. Through this perfect form the tooth effortlessly emerges into the daylight and shines.
But like many things it can crumble through time, neglect and decay. We may need to redesign and rebuild. We may need to recreate the beauty of the original architecture or knock down the building and start again. With care, thought and planning we can create the six-million-dollar man – or the £20,000 smile.
It is the Hollywood world of beauty creation. It is the world of genetics and high technology. It is the caring world of health and medicine. It is the wonderful world of education and learning. It is whatever you want to make it.
Now you may think I have gone completely bonkers, but bear with me.
Periodontics is a wonderful service that we have to offer, but unless we enjoy it and believe in it – completely – we cannot deliver it to our patients in the most effective way. If we don’t buy into it our patents never will. So let’s create a magical story.
• Finding a way to successfully sell the idea of periodontics is important
• Use vivid imagery to try and relate the effects of poor dental care on gum health to your patients
• Good dental hygiene is rewarded by little need for periodontics
• If poor dental hygiene has taken its toll, patients should be aware of the treatment options available
• Patients need to be told about the periodontics. If they’re not told about them, how can we expect them to take it up?

RBC | In response to “discrepancies” in the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) proposed travel management plan for the Wolf Creek reservoir project, the Rio Blanco County Board of County Commissioners have drafted a letter to BLM to address the issue.
BLM staff met with Commissioner Gary Moyer and other county staff on Thursday, May 16 to discuss the travel management plan for the proposed reservoir project area. The county and the Rio Blanco Water Conservancy District were concerned that proposed non-motorized designations in the travel management plan would have limited the public’s ability to access the proposed reservoir. At the conclusion of that meeting, both parties were reportedly in agreement with the travel access allowances.
According to Alden Vanden Brink, Rio Blanco Water Conservancy District director, BLM had requested maps of the project area. After the May 16 meeting, BLM issued different maps that were more restrictive than what was agreed upon by both parties, again blocking motorized access to vital areas of the proposed reservoir project.
“We [Rio Blanco Water Conservancy District] find it rather frustrating,” Vanden Brink said.
Quentin Smith, representing the Rio Blanco County Fair Board, spoke with the commissioners about insurance needs for the Rio Blanco County Fair. According to Smith, the insurance policy provided by the Colorado State University Extension Office only covers enrolled 4-H members. Open class fair participants would need to sign a liability waiver before participating in the fair.
Vicky Edwards, assistant to County Attorney Todd Starr, said Starr recommended purchasing additional insurance, as the waiver is “just a piece of paper.” Smith said the estimated cost of insurance to cover all of the fair, including the Little Buckaroo Rodeo, was $3,000.
“Purchasing an insurance policy is the smartest thing to do,” said Commissioner Jeff Rector.
Smith will take the commissioners’ recommendation back to the fair board for discussion and then update the commissioners after the next meeting.
The 4-H sportfishing club, “Gone Fishing,” will hold a jackpot fishing derby on June 29. Registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. at Kenney Reservoir. Derby participants will be able to fish from Stedman Mesa to the Utah border and the derby will be a fundraiser for the 4-H club.
The commissioners acknowledged a letter to the Colorado Wildlife Commission opposing a citizens’ petition to prohibit the trapping of bobcats in Colorado and Commissioner Woodruff requested adding “recreational take” to the wording of the letter. The petition claims, among other things, that bobcat hunting and trapping is detrimental to the safety of endangered Canada lynxes, whose territory overlaps that of the bobcat, which is not endangered.
In regular business, the commissioners:
– Approved Transport Risk Management, Inc. as the broker of record for insurance at the Meeker and Rangely airports.
– Approved a $1,000 donation to the Rio Blanco Shooting Sports Council
– Approved a donation to the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps for $1,000.
– Approved filling the following open positions: a full-time economic development administrative assistant or specialist, a full-time Rangely road and bridge operator, and a temporary weed control assistant.
– Approved a contract between the county and state departments of public health and environment for the 2019 Immunization Core Services Project, receiving additional Federal funding of $3,626 and state funding of $12,638 for a total grant amount of $37,512.
– Approved a task order contract between the county and state departments of public health and environment receiving federal funding of $18,866 in 2020 for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program.
– Approved a contract amendment receiving additional federal funds of $6,477 and state funding of $39,870 for a total grant amount of $121,395 to “increase capacity for preparedness, response and recovery in Colorado” through “providing public health preparedness, improved response and recovery activities through planning.”

Porsche hereby announce that the criminal proceedings brought against its Senior Executives by its former local importer in India, Ashish Chordia of Precision Cars, have been dismissed.
The Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court pronounced its judgment in open court last December. The Honourable Court allowed the Quashing Petition filed by Porsche AG, Porsche Middle East and Africa FZE and its directors and dismissed all the criminal proceedings initiated by Chordia and Precision Cars.
The Jaipur Court's decision marks another unsuccessful attempt by Precision Cars to challenge the lawful termination of its Local Importer Agreement by Porsche Middle East and Africa FZE and the appointment of Volkswagen Group Sales India as the official Local Importer for Porsche Cars in India. It follows the dismissal of another civil case brought by Precision Cars in the Jaipur Courts in 2012, which was pursued up to the Supreme Court of India.
Porsche has always maintained that the criminal proceedings were frivolous, vexatious, and entirely without merit and is very pleased that its stand has been vindicated by the Jaipur Bench of Honourable Rajasthan High Court.
Porsche has the utmost faith and highest regard for the Indian judicial system which has repeatedly upheld the company’s contractual right to appoint Volkswagen Group Sales India as the official local importer for Porsche Cars into India.
Porsche and Volkswagen Group Sales India continue to look forward to growing the brand in India and are excited about the future of the brand in this important market.

The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) publishes this final rule to announce to state and local governments and to federal agencies that, beginning on February 3, 2010, the Census Bureau will temporarily suspend the Population Estimates Challenge Program during both the decennial census year and the following year, and will indefinitely suspend the Per Capita Income Estimates Challenge Program (also known as Procedure for Challenging Certain Population and Income Estimates) to accommodate the taking of the 2010 Census. During this time, the Census Bureau will not provide the operations necessary to review the July 1, 2009, population or per capita income estimates for state, and other general-purpose governments, such as cities, towns, and villages. The Population Estimates Challenge Program will resume in 2012 as the program begins operations based upon the results of the 2010 Census. The Per Capita Income Estimates Challenge Program will be suspended until a rulemaking is initiated to remove those regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations. This rule also summarizes the comments received on the October 7, 2009 proposed rule requesting comments on the proposed temporary suspension of the Population Estimates and Income Estimates Challenge Programs.
Agency Contact: Mr. Rodger Johnson, Chief, Local Government Estimates and Migration Processing Branch, Population Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233, telephone (301) 763-2461, e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.org.
This rule is final. Its effective date is February 3, 2010.

Devin Booker agrees to 5-year, $158 million deal with Phoenix
08 July, 2018, 15:21 | Author: Candice Daniels
Devin Booker, the high-scoring guard at the heart of Phoenix's rebuilding plans, has signed a five-year, $158 million maximum contract with the Suns.
Booker, 21, is one of the NBA's elite young scorers and his extension cements his status as a major piece of the Suns' franchise.
Bagley, the No. 2 pick in last month's draft, had 15 points and seven rebounds in the Kings' 71-61 loss Saturday to the Phoenix Suns in a summer showcase game that pitted Bagley against No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton.
He has been general manager Ryan McDonough's most decorated draft pick in Phoenix, taken as a freshman out of Kentucky who dropped to No. 13 in the 2015 National Basketball Association draft.
"'Book' has been a pillar for the Suns franchise ever since he arrived in Phoenix in 2015", McDonough said in a news release announcing the signing. "Devin and the team both wanted to extend his agreement with the club as long as we possibly could".
Here's the latest on Celtics guard Marcus Smart
The likes of Clint Capela, Jabari Parker and Zach LaVine are all still in the same boat as the tenacious Celtics defender. As a restricted free agent, the Celtics can match any offer that comes Smart's way.
We'll do USADA testing, and we'll do other testing. "I think that what this does is finally gives him the respect he deserves". As noted earlier , MMA reporter Jeremy Botter cited multiple sources saying that the plan is for Lesnar vs.
A USA service member has been killed and two others injured in what appears to be an insider attack in Afghanistan , Nato says. They became more rare as the number of USA troops shrunk afterward, and as the military coalition added security precautions.
This is the first time two teams have had penalties in successive matches of the knockout stages of a World Cup, though. Kramarić is Croatia's seventh different player to score a goal for the side in the 2018 World Cup .
John Babcock, a spokesman for Global Affairs Canada, said in a statement Thursday that the stops occurred in Canadian waters. Machias Seal Island is located off Cutler, Maine , about 320 kilometers (200 miles) up the coast from Portland.
And yet the conspiracy theory that apps are listening to your in-person conversations and using them to show ads persists. This means that when these applications are open they can easily record things from people.
The NHC said that the system is expected to dissipate however it will still bring gusty winds and showers to the Lesser Antilles. The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Depression Two formed Thursday in the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of French Guyana.
Kurz called for the agency to have 10,000 border guards by 2020, seven years earlier than anticipated by Brussels. However, she added EU tariff negotiations required a "common European position and we are still working on it".
The strategically placed canisters allow divers to stay underwater longer during the five-hour trip to reach the stranded team. A former Thai navy SEAL has died during the rescue effort while diving in flooded passageways to deliver oxygen supplies.
Since 2009, more than 10,000 non-U.S. citizens have joined or signed contracts to join the military through the MAVNI program. Army veterans have slammed the Defense Department, saying it's a "slap in the face". "I'm a good scientist no matter what".
Rakitic stepped up to score the winning kick and earn his country a place in the semi-finals for the first time since 1998. They are still great guys for us, they are heroes.
It's not coming home yet, England
Despite reaching the semi-final, Southgate was keen to stress that his players were still developing. ENGLAND march into today's World Cup quarter-final against Sweden with the nation behind them.
US destroyers sail into Taiwan Strait: Taiwan gov't
Although the USA does not have formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, it is its most powerful ally and top arms supplier. USA officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the destroyers Mustin and Benfold carried out the passage.
Hamilton blazes to pole position for British GP
His lap of one minute 25.892 seconds was a track record. "I would say it felt like the most pressurized lap that I've ever had. Williams has only four points this season and Harris acknowledged on Friday she had been "dreading" the team's home race.
She Was 'in Agony,' Still Tried to Call Off Ambulance
Ms Cramer said despite the woman clearly being in "agony", she seemed to be more concerned by the financial impact of treatment. A 2012 federal investigation found the median ambulance cost per ride was between $224 and $2,204.
Kane says 'we're buzzing' after reaching World Cup semi
And the travelling support roared with delight as the Three Lions won their most significant tournament match since Italia 90 2-0. England fans were split with a mix of nerves and confidence ahead of the World Cup quarter-final tie with Sweden .
LeBron James Approved All Of Lakers’ Recent Acquisitions
The power forward shot 45.8% from the field, and served as a nice complement to the all-around playing style of LeBron James . Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Lance Stephenson , JaVale McGee and Rajon Rondo will all be joining on one-year deals.

Mumbai’s first downpour and Rs 4k crore Metro springs leaks, images go viral
Residents of Mumbai are used to flooded roads and flooded railway tracks. But what they faced on the brand new Mumbai Metro at 11 am on Wednesday morning was something even they were not prepared for.
Mumbai city’s first showers not only drenched Mumbaikars on the streets, flooded roads and rail tracks but also poured into the Ghatkopar bound Mumbai Metro, giving travellers an opportunity for an unwanted Rain Dance. Tweets and complaints went viral stating showers of rain that came in from AC vents. Commuters whipped out their smartphones and instantly uploaded pictures and videos of the sheets of water that came pouring out from AC ducts giving Mumbai Metro passengers their first monsoon drenching.
Mumbai Metro’s response to these complaints took time to filter in with a tweet at 7:21 pm saying problem was detected at 11:30 am with the train being taken out of service and would be back next day. On Facebook, Mumbai Metro stated at 5:30 pm that the morning’s issue was reported to the technical team who were inspecting and rectifying the problem.
Mumbai Metro commenced construction in 2008 and has seen a delay of four years during which cost of project increased from INR 2,356 to INR 4,321 crores. It is India’s first public private partnership metro project operated by Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL), which is a joint venture company between RIL and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

The computer is one of today’s treasures as endless possibilities can be performed with it, such as editing pictures, downloading songs and even creating movies with the appropriate software. Another amazing activity which you can do with the computer is to play chess against the computer. This is a brilliant way to make good use of your free time when no one else is available to play with you.
Playing chess against the computer is free as many game websites offer this service; there is not need to purchase any costly installation software for your computer in order to play the chess online. You just need the Internet connection on your computer, and time. Chess is usually not a fast game especially when there is a worthy opponent such as the AI computer. You may be greatly challenged if you are not yet a good chess player should you wish to play chess against the computer.
You can easily register for an account at any of these websites. You need to do this in order to be able to play chess against computer online. When you register, you might be asked for a username and a password, along with a valid email. In other cases, you would have to fill up a form that, aside from those three items, would ask you for your real name and your address, as well as some contact details. There is no need to worry since these websites have privacy policies that protect your private information.
A computer will always allow you to play any online game in 2 modes: easy and master. The master mode is the more difficult but more challenging level of the online game which is normally taken on by game experts as this level requires some game skills and deeper analytical thinking. The easy mode is normally for novice or beginners of that game; playing chess against the computer in easy mode is usually like a tutorial to build up your knowledge and game skills. When you are equipped, you can move on to play chess against the computer at mastery level. Another variant of playing chess against the computer is to try playing Chinese chess against the computer.
If your interested in getting a bit of easy practice in with your chess game, then playing chess online is no doubt a wonderful way to practice. With the ease of playing chess online on your computer, you really get a chance to improve your chess skills, and your overall game performance.
So, if you are busting to get into it, and play chess against computer on the internet now, just be sure of 1 thing, some online websites will try and get you to install a toolbar, or something similar. There is no need to do this, as you can find many great places to play chess against computer free online without installing a toolbar.

Just as plans (and concerns) begin to come into focus for Portman’s eventual remake of Amsterdam Walk, the national developer with deep Atlanta roots has declared its first BeltLine venture finished, while offering another glimpse of what’s on the menu in terms of tenants.
The close of construction in Old Fourth Ward coincides with news that Portman has signed Yuji—a new Japanese concept by Kinjo Enterprise, named for the restauranteur's best friend—to join the chef-driven restaurant mix at the 135,000-square-foot Junction Krog District project.
Yuji is expected to open in summer 2024.
In coming weeks, meanwhile, plans call for activating the project’s 7,000-square-foot public porch with pop-up bars and live music, Portman officials announced today.
Described as a Japanese-modern restaurant with a Kaiseki-inspired menu offering fresh and seasonal dishes, Yuji will be connected to the building’s porch with two outdoor bars designed for easy pedestrian access, plus a touchscreen display for to-go orders.
Interiors bedecked with Japanese wallpaper and Hinoki wood accents are described as sophisticated, while a 1,670-square-foot patio will serve cocktails, beer, and sake on draft.
Yuji will join Italian restaurant YEPPA&co, the first Junction Krog District tenant announced, in BeltLine-fronting space on the project’s ground floor. YEPPA&co is also now planned to open next summer, whereas earlier plans called for it opening in March.
Junction Krog District lends a modern contrast to the throwback brick and more traditional designs of Asana Partners’ new buildings across the BeltLine. Beneath a stack of large office balconies, other public-accessible aspects of Portman’s development include a vertical terrace with gardens and multiple seating areas. (Head to this recent photo essay for a closer look at how Junction Krog District turned out.)
Just north of the Auburn Avenue project, Portman recently closed on 1.3 acres beside the Eastside Trail where Junction Krog District’s second phase is eventually planned to be built.
Farther north on the trail, the company recently scaled back its plans for a blocks-long transformation of Ponce de Leon Avenue, meaning some businesses such as The Local will keep operating for the foreseeable future.

1965 Ducati 48 Sport
- Location: London, United Kingdom
During the 1950s Ducati turned to 2-stroke power for its smallest models, and arguably the raciest of these was the 48 Sport. Introduced in 1962, it was a proper ‘motorcycle in miniature’ with a twin cradle frame, 19-inch wheels and a fuel tank resembling that of the 200cc Ducati Elite. Marketed as the ‘Falcon’ in the USA, the 48 Sport found few customers outside Italy and production ceased in 1965.Weighing just 49kgs and powered by a 48cc single cylinder 2-stroke mated to a 3-speed transmission, the 48 Sport could reach a dizzy 50mph.Finished in its correct red and gold paint, this beautifully restored example is in excellent condition with superb paint and chrome. It had formed part of an important Ducati collection in central Italy until the collection was sold at auction in Monaco in 2012. It was purchased by the vendor, a noted car collector who is also an enthusiast for small machines such as this.View 1965 Ducati 48 Sport on 'http://www.coys.co.uk/cars/1965-ducati-48-sport' for further details.

Hula hoops have been a playground staple for generations of schoolchildren and for many, that is exactly where they have stayed. If you never considered hula hooping to be an area of interest, then let this young woman change your mind.
This beautiful woman in Chicago refused to be deterred from her favorite childhood activity and has since become known online as the Queen of the Rings. When she introduces the hoop into her act, that is when the moves get really insane. She certainly looks well practiced in her art. The hypnotic videos incorporate amazing gymnastics and flexibility to perform gravity defying routines.
The footage upload on to YouTube shows the Queen of the Rings in an airport lounge showing off her skills. Beginning by spinning the hoops up her body at speed she soon moves on to more complicated techniques including using her neck, forehead and even her hair tied in a bun. Such amazing agility to perform this feat and she keeps a smile throughout. I think this girl is a natural performer.

Many people asked me what cake I was going to make for my birthday. I often spend weeks before my birthday joyfully dreaming about what crazy creation that I can come up with that is fit for my birthday. My answer this year was that my lovely sister had offered to make me a cake, and I happily accepted. She ended up making a delicious white chocolate mud cake, which my family and I greatly enjoyed.
However, during the inevitable cake dreaming, I had a real hankering for a ring marble cake that I used to decorate at Muddings Bakery. I have very happy memories of decorating the marble cakes (as I’ve done, see top image). I remember my favourite part was having to trim the bottom. These cakes cook upside down and therefore the top is often uneven. When you turn them the right way up, you have to trim the bottom slightly so it sits nicely on a cake board. The marble cake and orange poppy-seed cakes were my favourite as I would save the little bits of trimming for morning tea (if it lasted that long). They were without exception always delicious.
As I now live in regional Victoria, it’s not so easy to swing by Muddings on a whim and pick up this cake, and I had a strong urge to decorate the cake myself – ensuring that I got the cutoffs! So I searched the internet for a similar sort of cake. SBS website didn’t let me down, sharing a german version of the same sort of cake. I substituted the Advokaat for a drop of Sherry – not quite as authentic, but still nice.
It ended up being extremely moist, and quite delicious, and brought back some very happy memories as I trimmed off the uneven top, dusted with icing sugar and drizzled with chocolate. I was a little timid with the marbling, for fear of turning it into a chocolate mess. So next time, I think I would do a little more mixing. All in all, though, a delicious walk down memory lane.

There seems to be a bit of a trend in guitar finishes at the moment: sandblasted swamp ash tops! Cort is the latest maker to clothe its guitars in a look used recently by PRS on a limited European run. Is this the modern-day version of an ’80s crackle finish? Either way, Cort has just announced its KX300 ahead of NAMM 2020.
Cort’s new model uses a 15 mm solid swamp ash top that’s then sand-blasted for an open-pore finish. The body is mahogany but what makes these guitars stand out is how the paint job is applied to that blasted swamp ash top. The paint is applied only to the wood grains, giving the KX300 a look and one that reminds me of the crackle finishes on classic ’80s shredder guitars.
The KX300 models are a bolt-on design with a new high-mass hardtail bridge to improve sustain. You get a 25.5″ scale length hard maple neck with a 24-fret pau-ferro fingerboard. This has a 15.75’’ radius fretboard, which is pretty flat, but not as extreme as some guitars.
Now to the pickups. The KX300 is loaded with a set of EMG RetroActive Super 77 dual humbuckers that are based on a classic PAF-style humbucker, just with an incorporated preamp for an enhanced response.
Minimal finish, maximum tone?
I’m not sure how I feel about all this style of sandblasted guitar finish. Maybe they’ll grow on me. They are distinctive, though, and a lot nicer than a lot of the thick polyester paint jobs that can really kill a guitar’s feel.
The new high-mass bridge looks substantial and I’d like to hear how it sounds paired with the EMG pickups. Without all that heavy finish, these could be killer-sounding guitars. I’m looking forward to hearing some audio demos of this new model. One to watch.

It is free phonics Friday again! Today we do not have a free phonics activity, but rather a free back to school activity. A few weeks ago I was going through some of Mrs. Karle’s old files and I came across this adorable “paper doll cut-out” book she made with her class. The book was cut out to look like a little boy, (or a little girl), and the students filled in the blanks to questions she asked within the book. Her students also would create a little “mini-me” of themselves and make their own paper-doll-cutout little book. Anyway, I thought this was adorable and I created a All About Me back to school book. Please fill out the form below to sign up for an occasional email from us and to get a free sample of the book.

I always thought life was too short to pickle onions, but it turns out that it’s one of the easiest things you can do. Sure, peeling the onions is a bit of a drag, but it’s a mindless/mindful task you can do while you chat to someone or listen to a podcast. The really hard bit is waiting a couple of weeks for the onions to pickle, but the results are worth it.
|750 g||Pickling onions (Main)|
|1 Tbsp||Coriander seeds|
|1 Tbsp||Whole peppercorns, preferably a mix of black, white and green or red|
|3 cups||Malt vinegar|
|3 Tbsp||Brown sugar|
|3 cloves||Garlic, peeled|
|3||Fresh bay leaves|
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
- A day before you plan to pickle, peel the onions and trim off any hairy bits. Put the onions in a large bowl and sprinkle over the salt. Cover with cold water and set a plate on top to keep the onions submerged. Leave in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
- You can make the pickling liquor at any stage while the onions are soaking, as long as it has time to completely cool.
- Set a pot over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds and peppercorns and toast for a few minutes. Carefully pour in the vinegar, followed by the brown sugar, chillies, garlic and bay leaves. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and pour into a jug. Allow to cool completely.
- After the onions have steeped, drain them well and rinse under the cold tap. Dry the onions with a clean tea towel and pack them tightly into sterilised jars. Pour over the vinegar mixture, distributing the chillies, garlic cloves and bay leaves between the jars. Screw on the lids tightly and leave in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks before eating. Store opened jars in the fridge.

Spectronics Corporation’s Slimline™ Series UV transilluminators are equipped with a filter glass that measures just 4.3” x 5.5” (11 x 14 cm), making them ideal for working with mini gels and samples. The cost effective transilluminators feature a slim profile that utilizes just four 8-watt UV tubes, minimizing UV exposure to the lab technician.
An exclusive LONGLIFE™ UV filter glass inhibits solarization up to 50 times longer than traditional UV filters, extending filter life dramatically and providing longer usage. A unique diffusing screen ensures superior light distribution and eliminates confusing light striations caused by the contours of the tubes. The UV-transmitting filter allows manipulation of gels directly on the transilluminator and shields the filter glass from cuts, scratches and breakage.
A hinged UV-blocking cover protects users from harmful UV radiation and the need for additional UV-absorbing clothing or face wear. It also protects the filter from damage caused by dropping objects on the glass. Constructed of heavy-duty, acrylic-based, UV-blocking material, the cover fits well over all gels and TLC plates.
Slimline Series UV transilluminators measure a mere 11.5” W x 14” L x 2.5” H (29.2 x 35.6 x 5.7 cm) and can fit easily in today’s crowded laboratories. They’re available in three fixed-intensity units with 254nm, 312nm, or 365nm wavelengths, as well as 120V/60Hz, 240V/50Hz and 100V/50-60Hz.

Government working for Prosperous Nepal Happy Nepali: Former Minister Pandey
Reporters Club Nepal: “The Kalapani border dispute is not new to our political scenario. The stationing of the army was back in the Panchayat era” said former Minister and Member of the House of Representatives and senior leader of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Som Prasad Pandey.
The entire areas of Lipulek, Limpiadhura, and Kalapani are an integral part of Nepal. This has been mentioned in historical treaties that we have signed starting from Sugauli.
“We have to assert our rights and with diplomatic efforts resolve the dispute regarding the encroachment of land as well as the stationing of the Indian army.
Resolving the issue for our future will be in the best interest of the territorial integrity of our nation. Our party has begun initiating diplomatic steps and there are continuous preparations and meetings in this regard.
We won’t leave an inch of our land which is rightfully ours. With diplomatic negotiations, this government will initiate steps in order to resolve the dispute”
The former minister also said that his party was positive about initiating a dialogue with the outlawed Netra Bikram Chand faction and brings them into mainstream politics as long as they give up the politics of arms and insurgency.
Pandey also defended his government regarding the Airplane procurement scam stating that “let me remind you all that the procurement did not happen when our government was in power.
This process began in the previous government and we only paid the final installment in order to bring the aircraft into the country. We have faced issues, but we have discouraged and not supported people who are corrupt or to have involved themselves in some form of corruption”.
“Previously there was huge money taken away from the development funds, what about the Asian Development Bank (ADB) that used to provide billions in soft loans and aids, the money directly went into the pockets of the people then, in our government we have stopped and kept a check in this habit.
Similarly, gold smuggling was happening way before but discovered in our tenure, every aspect of it will be investigated and the real truth will be brought in front of the people”.
“Our government is in line with its objective of Prosperous Nepal Happy Nepali. We will leave no stone unturned in the process to take the country forward toward long term transformation for the betterment of the coming generations.
We have to evaluate all our work and yes there may have been shortcomings but in no way is our government behind. What is happening is baseless rumors are being spread on social media and various other platforms with unsubstantiated news.
Our PM is concerned, and even with this health problem, he has been working hard to get things in order. He is working for the people and for their betterment. We are going on a new track to bring changes in our current work method” he said.

Israel has agreed to halt its attacks on Gaza for five hours Thursday in accordance to a deal brokered by the United Nations' special envoy to the Middle East, Robert H. Serry. The temporary break from assaults for a "humanitarian window" comes after days of airstrikes between the Israeli military and Hamas and the death of more than 200 Palestinians.
On Saturday, Amare Stoudemire deleted an Instagram captioned "Pray for Palestine." That same day, Dwight Howard tweeted and quickly deleted "#FreePalestine," claiming the tweet was a "mistake." Today, Rihanna also tweeted and deleted "#FreePalestine," proving that even the world's largest Twitter troll wants no part of the Israel-Palestine debate.
Egypt's proposal for an Israel-Hamas cease-fire fell apart today after Israel resumed airstrikes on Gaza in response to Hamas's rocket attacks. Israeli officials say the rocket attacks never actually stopped, and Gaza officials claim at least one Palestinian was injured in an airstrike during the supposed cease-fire.
Nearly 100 Palestinians have been killed this week in an ongoing Israeli offensive aimed at stopping rocket fire from Hamas. Hamas leaders promised a "long battle" with Israel on Friday: "We have prepared ourselves for a very long battle, not for a week or 10 days, as some have said, but for many long weeks," the group said in a statement.
Since Tuesday, Israel's offensive on Gaza has killed 41 Palestinians, including eight children. And the operation, aimed at stopping Hamas' recent barrage of rocket attacks, shows no sign of letting up. The New York Times reports that Israel is calling up as many as 40,000 reservists to "free them for a possible ground invasion of Gaza."
After eight days of intense fighting during which nearly 150 Palestinians and five Israeli were killed and hundreds of others were injured, both the Israeli government and Hamas officials have agreed to the terms of an Egypt-brokered ceasefire that is set to go into effect at 9 PM local time (2 PM ET).
Anderson Cooper's live report from the heart of Gaza was interrupted early Sunday morning when a large explosion nearly blew his broadcast off the air.
There's been a whole lot of cognitive dissonance going on in the Middle East on Sunday, as violence — and the death toll — continues to escalate despite reported efforts by both sides to reach a ceasefire. Today, an Israeli strike in Gaza City aimed at a militant allegedly involved in rocket attacks against Israel killed 12 Palestinians. According to a Palestinian health official, the 12 dead included five women and four children, and the Israeli Defense Force admitted that the targeted Hamas commander was not injured.
Fighting between Israel and the Palestinian people entered its fourth day today, and eight Palestinians were killed by Israeli fighter jets targeting Hamas government compounds, tunnels and transformers. That brought the overall death toll to at least 45, with all but three of those being Palestinians.
Following four days of intensive rocket strikes from the Gaza Strip on neighboring towns and villages, and just hours after an Egypt-mediated truce, Israel announced it was launching a "widespread campaign" to root out "terror sites and operatives in the Gaza Strip, chief among them Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets."
Saudi Arabia's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice has banned Saudi pet stores from selling dogs and cats. Not because they wash up on shores looking like decayed hellspawn but because men are using them to pick up women. (Apparently they walk cats in the Wahhabi kingdom.) Meanwhile, it was reported yesterday that Hamas captured a Fatah agent, Nafez al-Namnam, and rather than torture him the old fashioned way, decided to humiliate him by shaving off his bushy, steer horn-shaped mustache. No canine cruise accessories, no wild facial hair — to think of all the liberties Brooklynites take for granted. [Yahoo, Israel Today]

Around mid-April of this year I was lucky enough to be chosen as an expo blogger for the Gluten Free Allergen Free Expo that took place near Chicago. My friend, whom is as dedicated to eating clean and healthy as I am, and I headed to the expo and were blown away by all that this event had to offer, including rows and rows of gluten and allergen free and friendly companies introducing and sharing their products.
Needless to say we both left with a bag full of healthy goodies, her to share with her boyfriend whom had just found out he suffers from a slight gluten intolerance and me to test and share with my readers of course!
This is part one of my company and product wrap up in which I quickly share a little about the company and products I got to try.
Grab The Gold energy bars have a very inspirational background which you can read about in my upcoming in-depth review! In the mean time, I can tell you this little protein packed energy bar is quite healthy being made with organic and non-GMO ingredients. As if that wasn't enough to entice a person, these bars are also gluten free, high fructose corn syrup free, vegan, and dairy free. The bar only comes in one flavor which is Chocolate Peanut Butter but I was quite impressed on it's nutritional stats! If you want to know a little bit more keep your eyes peeled for that review.
Bakery on Main is a company I'm somewhat familiar with having done a review of their gluten free Truebar and Oatmeal a little while back, so it was wonderful being able to catch up on some new products I happened to miss when they came out like their completely unique Cranberry Orange Cashew Granola which is gluten and wheat free, casein free, dairy free, along with toting a few other healthy benefits. If you're scratching your head trying to figure out what that could possibly taste like, I honestly couldn't explain it to you-once you initially pop a handful in your mouth there's an explosion of different flavors and textures that mix on your palate leaving you thinking for a little while, "DO I like this, or not?" The general consensus was it was too unique not to enjoy. In fact, I can't wait to try it with some plain yogurt!
Home Free was another new company that I was excited to discover and learn more about. They were giving out samples of their Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chip and Vanilla Mini Cookies which are, of course, gluten free, as well as nut free and whole grain, and baked in a dedicated bakery free of peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, and gluten. Both sets of cookies were good; had great flavor and texture but didn't quite WOW me like some other products I came across. Although I do like how they offer a few more varieties of flavors in their minis and they're GMO Project Verified!
Pamela's Products has been a household name for my family and I since a little after we started our healthy living lifestyle so it goes without saying their products already hold a special place in my heart. When I came across their booth at the Gluten Free Allergen Free Expo, I was beyond thrilled, especially when I saw they had some new products to debut like their new line of Whenever Bars which are wheat-free, gluten-free, and non-dairy. This particular bar I got to sample was Oat Chocolate Chip Coconut and when taste tested, I found it to be pretty good. I'm not a huge coconut person but I thought coconut flavor wasn't too overpowering and the flavor, texture, and moistness of the bar overall was very appealing.
Make sure to keep an eye out
for part two!
