I’ve always been excited thinking about long-term prospects. In some sense, I care about nothing more intensely than the big picture—the problems of the world, the flaws of society at large and how they all might be remedied “some day.” But on another level, my day-to-day motivation comes from life’s ups-and-downs, the fluctuations in and deviations from routine. In fact, I’ve been struggling with a contradiction in my feelings that disturbs me intensely: on the one hand, the usual overwhelming yearning for something bigger, something greater (than the inevitable inanity of the single human life-space I occupy), and on the other hand, a relative lack of motivation to do things that might relate to/propel me toward some bigger, greater realm. In a way, maybe I just don’t really care about the larger ills of the world in the same deep, personal, invested way I care about my own stupid life.
One problem is, the bigger picture can’t quite excite me like it once did. Maybe that’s because, with each passing year, I’m less able to cloak myself in the airy comfort that I’m not really supposed to know where I’m going or what I’m doing yet, not supposed to have answers yet. Or maybe it’s because I knew less when I was younger. Less, that is, of what I didn’t know. What I know now is that the problems I want to tackle are so massive and entrenched and tangled together that it would take lifetimes of studying merely to understand a fraction of the various systems that underpin these problems. Take the economy, the key such “system.” Even the experts can only hypothesize, theorize, argue about this system that both controls and reflects every facet of our lives and beings. So every problem, every reality, is created by a web of forces the entirety of which we cannot physically wrap our human heads around and by the very mindsets, philosophies—paradigms—that in turn govern our behavior and our relationship with said forces…. What does that leave me to do? From where does that leave me to seek inspiration?
Thus far I’ve found inspiration in a commitment to changing the paradigms. But I keep running into two key problems. First, faced with the seemingly irreconcilable deficit of proper knowledge, I can’t know what to prescribe. Second, and more disturbing: as I sit trying to educate myself and striving to attain the ability to communicate or expose the paradigmatic ills I see, the world continues going to shit. I, by default, accept the parameters of the [highly privileged, wildly unsustainable] lifestyle I, by virtue of the culture and location I’ve been born into, live; I “do little things” where I can but adopt (having imbibed, and constantly imbibing) the basic standards of our society. I have to conform. We all do. I have to hold down a job, even if it means contributing my cog to the inexplicable economic wheel that churns out our lives and our world; I have to make “little sacrifices,” “justifiable trade-offs” on my “principles” (as if principles are separate from pragmatic action). I have to constantly and subconsciously affect the separation between principle and pragmatism and mediate between the two. All the while, I am living within (and so with) the constraints of my environment.
And so I have to tell myself that all I can do—the best I can do—is to follow the Lupine Lady: concentrate on leaving the world a more beautiful place. This way of looking at things is, I’ve come to believe, the best way to look at things—but only in the face of all the obstacles to looking at them any differently. Every little (or big, or even humongous) positive action I can ever take will be accompanied by countless equally little and big actions that work against me. The carbon footprint I leave merely by being alive in the developed world is—I honestly, seriously suspect/fear—enough to cancel out even the best I could ever do for nature and for the world at large. There is, then, no real satisfaction to be attained in striving to “be the change,” even as there remains still less satisfaction in the prospect of tacit acceptance of my place in the world. I wish I could try to find total peace in living and wanting simply, in building my life out of what is available to me and doing the best I can by/for the relatively few people I can reach. In fact, I admire many people for their unique ways of believing and manifesting just such a philosophy. But I can’t internalize it myself. Because no matter my choices, meanwhile to the course of my life, the rainforest continues to disappear, the holes in the ozone widen, the polar bears die, and my counterparts in [insert third-world country here] grovel in a garbage dump, freezing, hungry and utterly fucked. The sheer scale, force and complexity of the quagmires corners me into apathy while the (I can only assume, human) tendency toward absorption in the immediate emotions of mice & men, love and life, thoroughly distract my head and heart. The distractions (be they for better or for worse in supporting productivity by preserving some measure of personal sanity) further immobilize my already objective paralysis.
I know I will continue to strive for large-scale change. I know I will continue to feel motivated and purposeful and inspired by the prospect of working to attain my dreams, contradiction-mired as they might inescapably be. I can’t help it. But a friend of mine hit on something that struck a chord with me when he said: “one day, you wake up—old—and realize it’s too late, you’re just not going to make it to those dreams.” He’s 28. And I feel this potential—the potential for failure—hovering increasingly acutely, ever persistently about me as I surge into the real world and realize anew each day how far I have yet to go, how long it takes to get anywhere and how very little idea I have of “where” to go anyway. It’s a realization, not just or so much of how little chance I have to “be the change I want to see,” but of how little chance I have to see the change I want to be. And if it’s not in my lifetime, it’s not in time. Tellement future day of awakening—whether it be alone in my bed still desperately yearning for “the great wide out there” (and wondering where that is), or whether it be in the arms of the love of my life (who, as an emotionally immediate aspect of existence, has eclipsed all bigger cares and concerns I once had)—is perhaps my greatest fear.

Over the next several lessons we will learn some of the most common walk downs. We go introduce you to walk downs based on all of the C-A-G-E-D chords so. When playing chord progressions on the guitar, a common way of transitioning from one chord to another is through the use of “walk downs.” A walk down is. I’ve seen a lot of material on Walkdowns and walkup between chords, but the ones I have found only show notes to play. There is no.

User Name Remember Me? Looking for a fast and easy way to learn how to play guitar? So in a major key I would use the major scale formula, and if it is in a minor key, Aalkdowns would use the minor scale formula to determine the notes?
Walkdosns a little practice you should be able to play the F note on the 6th string with your thumb, while using the extended part of your thumb to mute the 5th string – all while forming a D chord with the other fingers. For the American basketball player, see Yuitar Walkup. What is the theory behind it? In country musicwalkdown is a bassline which connects two root position chords whose roots are a third apart, often featuring an inverted chord  to go between the root notes of the first two chords.

A walkup would be the converse. Davis Webb Registered User. Mandolin For Dummiesp. We respect your privacy. This music theory article is a stub. Try this by first forming a D chord.
In many cases that would work just fine, but there is another way to play this walk down that, you will find, is used much more commonly. Its not that complicated. The chords would be as follows: Either way we will see that the root note for the relative minor of “C” is “A”, so our relative minor chord for C major is A minor!

Walkdowns & walkups: What is the theory behind it? – The Acoustic Guitar Forum
The Roman numeral “I” one stands for the first chord in the progression – as determined by the key signature of the song – and the Roman numeral “VI” six stands for the 6th chord in the progression, and this chord is a “minor” chord. One very common walk down for guitar players is the “I to VIm” one to six minor movement.
If you are using weird intervals, to me that’s not a walkup, its a parallel bass line. The root note of the passing chord in this case will be an F. I know I can use the C note as a brief stepping stone, but only as a brief one Learning Basic Diatonic Chord Theory really helped my music a lot; to understand the “why?
In this instance, we would play a “D” chord, but also add an “F ” bass note to the chord. You stalk about the rooms and you roll away the miles. Jseth, So to see if I have the correct understanding, I would play the notes of the scale between the chord root notes?

Moscow (AFP) May 13, 2011
Russia could again choke in catastrophic wildfires this summer because the authorities are reacting too slowly to the growing threat, environmental campaigners Greenpeace warned Friday.
"The fires in the forests and peat bogs have started earlier and are more dangerous than last year," said Alexei Yaroshenko, head of Greenpeace Russia's forest programme, at a news conference.
Every summer, fires spread across vast areas of Russian forests and peat bogs. Last year a heatwave led to particularly fierce fires and Muscovites choked on the fumes in August, leading to a spike in death rates.
This month, forest fires are already raging in Siberia, the Urals, and far eastern Russia, while peat bogs are smouldering in central Russia, Yaroshenko said.
"In a week's time, the situation risks escalating in a catastrophic manner... and we will have a repeat of last year's situation," he said.
The noxious smoke could veil Moscow a month earlier than last year, in July, he warned.
Peat bogs were drained in Soviet times to extract fuel for experimental power stations. Once alight, the fires are particularly hard to put out because they continue to burn underground.
Peat fires are easier to extinguish at an early stage, but the emergency situations ministry "prefers to hide rather than react to warnings," said Grigory Kuksin, head of Greenpeace Russia's firefighting programme.
"If the appropriate measures are not taken, we will face the same smoke as last year," he said.
Last year a record heatwave and drought caused wildfires in central Russia to spread out of control, killing dozens, burning down thousands of houses and threatening military and nuclear installations.

Man with dementia beaten in April dies, leaves behind wife and family
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - A 67-year-old man with dementia has died several months after he sustained serious injuries during an attack in Colerain.
Steven Lewis passed away Tuesday, according to the Hamilton County Coroner. He leaves behind a wife and family, including seven grandchildren.
“He was such a fun-loving person,” his wife, Anita Lewis said. “My kids have to survive without their father.”
On April 1, three individuals—Timothy Akemon, 43; Tina Lay, 47; and Daron Adams, 40—confronted Lewis in a parking lot off Colerain Avenue near Banning Road.
They said Lewis, who suffered from dementia, had crossed Colerain Avenue ‘at a slow rate’ in front of their car, according to court documents.
Akemon and Adams approached Lewis and struck him in the head with a closed fist, causing serious injuries. Lay then drove them away.
Akemon, Lay, and Adams were later arrested and charged in the attack.
Lay was sentenced to community control on obstructing official business. Akemon and Adams pleaded guilty to felonious assault and received three-year prison sentences.
Lewis was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center following the attack. He spent the last months of his life in and out of the hospital.
His cause of death is still pending, according to the coroner’s report. If the coroner rules the cause is related to the attack, Lay, Akemon, and Adams could face more charges.

Hot backup is a method of storing and backing up data while the data is being accessed by a user. It doesn’t require any downtime for multi-user systems and is also known as dynamic backup or active backup. The final backup may not include changes made by the user while the system is processing the data.
FAQ about Hot Backup
Hot backup is a method of backing up data that allows for system backups without causing any downtime. Below are frequently asked questions about hot backup:
What is hot backup?
Hot backup is a method for storing and backing up data that enables a system to regularly backup data while the data is being viewed by a user. It is a popular backup option because it doesn’t require any downtime to complete.
How does hot backup work?
Hot backup works by backing up data while it is being accessed by a user. It relies on a system that continuously creates backup copies of files as they are being updated. This way, if there is a system failure or data corruption, a backup copy will be immediately available without any interruption in services.
What are the benefits of hot backup?
The benefits of hot backup mainly revolve around its ability to create backups without downtime. In addition to this, hot backup ensures that data is recoverable and that backups are up-to-date. It is an essential practice for businesses reliant on valuable data because it minimizes the risk of data loss.
Are there any disadvantages to hot backup?
One disadvantage of hot backup is that the final backup might not include the user’s changes if the user modifies data while it is being backed up. For example, changes are made right as the system is processing the data. However, this is a minor drawback compared to the benefits of hot backup.
What is Dynamic Backup?
Dynamic backup, also known as active backup or hot backup, is a process by which data is backed up in real-time. It is similar to hot backup in that it performs backups while data is being accessed, but it is also dynamic in that it adjusts backups to account for new data as it is created.
How does dynamic backup work?
Dynamic backup works by creating backup copies of data in real-time, as it is being accessed and modified. This is done by creating multiple backup copies and updating them as changes occur. As a result, the system is always up-to-date and can revert to any previous version without any system downtime.
What are the benefits of dynamic backup?
The benefits of dynamic backup include real-time data protection, no system downtime, and the ability to recover any version of data in case of failure. It is considered an essential process for any business that relies on constantly changing data.
Are there any downsides to dynamic backup?
The downside of dynamic backup is that it requires significant storage space as it creates multiple backup copies of data. It also requires substantial system resources to perform in real-time. However, the benefits of dynamic backup outweigh the drawbacks for businesses that rely on valuable data.
Hot backup and dynamic backup are both popular data backup methods for multi-user systems. They ensure that critical data is backed up in real-time, minimizing the risk of data loss after a system failure or data corruption. While there are some disadvantages, the benefits of hot backup and dynamic backup make them essential processes for businesses reliant on valuable data.

Students who applied online for their visas up to three months ago are now being informed by the British Embassy in Manila that they will be subject to the new Tier 4 rules, which came into force on 31 March 2009.
During the run up to the start of Tier 4 of the Points based System, which replaced the old student visa system at the end of March, many hundreds of students for NVQ courses were unable to obtain an appointment with the British Embassy’s visa agent VFS Global.
The NVQ visa problem was revealed by Immigration Matters in February after a large number of candidates complained that VFS Global had imposed restrictions on NVQ applicants, allocating them just ten appointments a day.
As the appointment slots inevitably filled up for March and April, applicants were unable to submit their documents, biometrics and visa fees in support of their online VAF visa applications.
By early March applicants were being told by VFS staff that there were no appointments available until May 2009 – over one month after the start of Tier 4.
Some appointments were brought forward into March, but it appears the remainder of the pipeline applications will be judged under new terms conditions.
Immigration Rule 34 states that the British Embassy are required to accept applications by registered mail, but even these legally submitted applications have been ignored.
Student candidates will now have to meet new Tier 4 maintenance requirements, which means being able to show funds in their own (as opposed to a sponsor’s) bank account.
In addition, they are being told to produce new letters of acceptance from their educational providers, which must also be on the UK Border Agency’s sponsors register.
To make matters worse, large numbers of colleges are still awaiting approval due to a huge backlog in applications at the UKBA and their accreditation bodies.
Students with appointments booked in April are also being asked to comply with rules, which were not in existence when they originally applied for their visas as far back as January.
Students refused under Tier 4 will not have any right of appeal, however, refusals under previous rules will still benefit from a full appeal before an Immigration Judge at the AIT.
No allowance has been made or transitional arrangements put in place for the hundreds of pipeline applications which built up prior to the new rules taking effect.
One UK based student agent, who prefers not to be named, said that he had 190 applications lodged in Manila awaiting approval. He has no idea how many will be approved, declined or deferred to Tier 4, a situation which he finds “totally unacceptable”.
He complained that his students have been “blocked” by the UK Border Agency led restrictions on NVQ students, and now the colleges he has been recommending are in the UKBA licensing bottleneck and will not be approved for at least three more months.
International students, who contribute over £8 billion to the UK economy, are being taken for granted, ironically at the very time both educational institutions and Gordon Brown desperately needs their cash.

STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION APPLICANT: UNITED VANGUARD HOMES, INC. ("Vanguard" or “Applicant”), 4 Cedar Swamp Road, Glen Cove, New York 11542-3744; DEC Application No. 1-4726-01009/00002.
PROJECT and LOCATION: The Applicant proposes to construct a new three story, 120-bed congregate care facility (Camelot Village) on a wooded 10.26 acre site, located on the south side of NYS Route 25 (Jericho Turnpike) adjacent to Paumanok Drive and the Walt Whitman High School. This project includes construction of a Cromoglass subsurface denitrification system for on-site treatment of waste water. The proposed discharge is located within an area designated as a sole source aquifer. The South Huntington Water District has been identified as the public water purveyor located within three miles of the proposed project. NYSDEC regulated Freshwater Wetlands (H-21) exist on the northern portion of the property adjacent to NYS Route 25. The proposed building will be located more than 100 linear feet from the wetland boundary. However, areas of clearing, parking areas and access driveway will be constructed closer to the wetland boundary. The access driveway will be located in a small upland area between the existing wetlands, and requires installation of a culvert directly adjacent to NYS Route 25 to allow water flow between the two wetland areas.
PERMITS: This is an application for a SPDES permit to construct the wastewater treatment system described above pursuant to Article 17, Titles 7 & 8, of the Environmental Conservation Law ("ECL") and Part 750, et seq., of Title 6 of the New York Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations ("6 NYCRR") and for a Freshwater Wetlands permit to alter the wetland and adjacent area as described above, pursuant to ECL Article 24 and 6 NYCRR Part 663.
The Department Staff has made a tentative determination to approve the system for treatment of 12,000 gallons per day of sanitary waste which will be discharged to groundwater.
The Department Staff has prepared a Draft State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“SPDES”) Permit (undated) that is available for public review. The Department has not yet made a determination in regard to the Freshwater Wetland application.
This project also may require permits from the NYS Department of Transportation, the Town of Huntington and the South Huntington Water District.
SEQRA STATUS: Pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA"), ECL Article 8 and 6 NYCRR Part 617, on November 8, 1996, the Town of Huntington Zoning Board of Appeals, as lead agency, issued a Positive Declaration.

On August 30, 2000, the DEC Staff issued a completeness determination on this permit application.
PUBLIC HEARING: As a result of a significant degree of public interest, the Department has determined that it is appropriate to hold a Legislative Public Hearing, to allow additional comments to be received and considered before a final determination is made on these applications. The hearing will be held at The Huntington Town Hall, 100 Main Street, Huntington, NY on Monday January 29th 2001 beginning at 6:30pm. All persons, organizations, corporations, or government agencies who may be affected by the proposed project are invited to attend the hearing and to submit oral or written comments on the application. It is not necessary to file in advance to speak at the hearing. Lengthy comments should be submitted in writing. Equal weight will be given to both oral and written statements. Parties may file written comments with Susan Ackerman, Environmental Analyst I, NYSDEC - Region I Office, SUNY Building # 40, Stony Brook, NY 11790, provided they are postmarked no later than January 26th 2001, or submitted at the hearing.

Man Utd v Man City Betting Preview
The game of the weekend takes place on Sunday afternoon as the two Manchester clubs face each other at Old Trafford. As it stands, Manchester United are one position and one point ahead of their rivals after an outstanding run of form. Louis Van Gaal’s side have won five consecutive Premier League matches and that includes wins over the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool. On the other hand Manchester City have struggled in recent weeks, they have lost three of their last five Premier League matches and two of those came against sides in the bottom half of the table. Based on current form it’s very hard to see how Manchester City win this encounter.
It’s worth noting that Manchester United have been incredibly strong at Old Trafford this campaign. They have won 13 of their 16 matches at home, this is more than any other Premier League side. Admittedly City have been pretty good away from home, however they’ve lost their last three games away from the Etihad.
My recommended bet is Manchester United to win this match and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they can be backed at 13/8. Wayne Rooney is in top form and Angel Di Maria is fit once again, therefore 13/8 is an excellent price.

So what can we do to reduce the fat around our belly, no matter the type? Dr. Charlie Seltzer, a physician who is board certified in obesity medicine, says it is quite simple. "To lose belly fat — or fat anywhere, for that matter — you need to eat fewer calories than you burn," Dr. Seltzer says. "It is really that simple. You cannot 'spot reduce.' Where the fat comes off first is largely based on your genes."
Bloating is directly attributed to water retention, which is something that cucumbers are known to prevent. Water rushes out of the system when cucumbers are consumed consistently. They are especially good for handling weight gain due to a menstrual cycle. Cholesterol is combated by oranges, which also assist the immune systems functions. The other citrus fruits in this blend emphasize a deep intestinal cleansing. Meanwhile, the mint fosters fast nutrient absorption and energy conversion. In general, it also quickens and eases digestion, especially for those who have ulcers or hernias. This recipe focuses on functionality over flavor, but it still has a decent taste.
When you decide to “go on a diet,” you’re making the conscious decision that this is a temporary choice. You’re going to go on it, but that means that you’re going to one day—probably sooner than you expect—go off it. That’s the concept of weight cycling (also known as yo-yo dieting), and it’s extremely unhealthy. A 2014 study in the journal Diabetes Care found that a pattern of weight cycling—losing at least five pounds and then gaining it back within two years—resulted in as much as a 33 percent higher risk of diabetes and higher blood pressure.
Seriously, most things that taste remotely good are riddled with hundreds or thousands of calories. This may be disturbing for those who don’t know about the joy of water detoxifying, but the health-conscious ladies are keeping up with the times. They are wise to avoid the lure of most snacks and meals. By sticking with scientifically proven methods of bodily purification, these girls are likely to be more beautiful than the general population. Each one of their delicious servings contains less than 10 calories. Many times, the tasty brew showcases a complete lack of calories. In previous generations, this kind of health feat would have probably seemed inconceivable. While it may have been formerly unimaginable, these water treatments are the wave of the future and certainly here to stay.
Most detox teas contain caffeine, probably because this stimulant may suppress appetite, trigger your digestive system to let go of waste, and help you shed water weight. A caffeine-induced energy boost may also lead to working out a little longer or harder than usual. However, too much caffeine can also be risky (see above) and interfere with getting enough sleep–and catching too few zzzs may ultimately undo the tea's weight-loss effects. In fact, too little shuteye has been shown to trigger excessive eating and weight gain and even slow metabolism, which can make it easier to gain weight even if you don't eat extra calories. A good rule of thumb, regardless of where your caffeine is coming from, is to nix it at least six hours before bed. And if you're trying to shed pounds, commit to making adequate sleep a top priority.
Wheatgrass has a high concentration of iron, magnesium, calcium, amino acids, vitamins C, A and E, B12, B6 and chlorophyll. These vitamins and minerals provide many therapeutic benefits. Consuming wheatgrass can rid the digestive system of harmful bacteria and cleanse the body of toxins. It also cleanses the colon and can help in the treatment of joint pain, ulcerative colitis, skin infections and can even prevent diabetes. No wonder it is regarded as a superfood!
This master cleanse detox water recipe is designed to flush every bad toxin out of your body. You will need about twelve ounces of filtered water, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup, 1/10 of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a dash of sea salt. Just mix the ingredients together and drink. There are also optional ingredients like green tea and laxatives that you can add but the detox water in itself is great for ridding your body of free radicals and leaving you feeling and looking much healthier.
Cleansing can help you to get a flatter stomach. However, it will not be easy, and cleansing alone will probably not lead to your long-term weight-loss goals. A good cleanse can get your body back to burning fat optimally, in order to jump-start your flat stomach diet. Combine a cleanse with fasting, physical exercise and a sensible eating plan, and you will be looking down at a flat stomach in no time.
Chang: To be honest, I really didn't. But I knew there had to be a better weight loss answer. So I started talking to my patients. I wanted to find out what changes they were realistically willing to make and how much they were realistically willing to do to lose weight. What I found out? People need weight loss to fit into their lives. They still have jobs and kids and house cleaning and groceries. They don't have time for complicated diets and excessive workout plans.
Treat your taste buds to a fruit-filled rainbow. Cavalcades of sweet natural treats are infused in this energetic ensemble. The primary ingredient emphasizes a foursome of the following fruits: apples, lemons, oranges and pears. All of them are divided up equally, and the collective is subsequently balanced with an equal amount of strawberries. Alongside a bunch of raspberries and mint leaves, this will be the most satisfying glass of strawberry detox water that you have ever tried. Your goblet would be privileged to contain such a luxuriously satisfying libation. This aromatic water represents the raw juice cleanse of womankind’s future!
One of the most recommended beverages for weight loss, green tea is packed with powerful antioxidants called catechins and Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These antioxidants boost metabolism and have been linked with increased weight loss and decreased belly fat. Green tea is considered one of the healthiest beverages on the planet and is believed to provide many health benefits, including cancer prevention. Green tea is made from the apical leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis.
This delicious detox water has strawberries and kiwis and is the perfect summer drink. You will need 2 liters of water, a couple of strawberries and a couple of kiwis. Just chop your kiwis and strawberries, add to your water and sit in the fridge for a couple of hours to let it seep. The kiwi has vitamins A and E which will help you to rid your body of free radicals and they help to flush toxins from your colon. Strawberries are great for your skin and then contain anti-aging properties and help to fight carcinogens. You can add more or less fruit depending on your taste preferences or add different fruits or a mint sprig for a completely new taste.
Exercise is strongly recommended not just for the reduction of lower belly fat, but also its numerous other health benefits. However, just like some foods are better suited for reducing lower belly fat and love handles, there are certain exercises to get rid of love handles that are more effective than others. Here are some of the best exercises to shed pounds and burn fat that festers around the lower belly.
I first learned about the weight-loss power of tea when my mother fell victim to diabetes. A former nurse back in Korea, she urged me to look into Eastern remedies when it became clear that Western science couldn’t help her. And time and again, as I pored through the studies, the same answer kept popping up: tea. What I learned in my research, and collected in my new book, The 7-Day Flat Belly Tea Cleanse, in which test panelists lost up to 10 pounds in just one week, was that certain teas not only melt fat by boosting metabolism, but can actually prevent our bodies from forming new fat cells.
Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants and a nice dose of oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated fat. It also contains stimulants that can have a positive effect on fat burning, including theobromine and caffeine. Dark chocolate reduces the production of the stress hormone cortisol, which causes belly fat to accumulate. Try it for a quick breakfast to keep your appetite tamed for hours.
Researchers studied the coffee habits of New Yorkers and discovered that two-thirds of Starbucks customers opted for blended coffee drinks over regular brewed coffee or tea. The average caloric impact of the blended drinks was 239 calories. Switch to tea just once a day and you’d lose 25 pounds this year! (Actually, you may lose more, as coffee has been linked to belly fat storage. A research team in Washington found that five or more cups of Joe a day doubled visceral fat.)
This detox water not only keeps you hydrated but it helps you to enjoy beautiful skin. It’s chocked full of vitamins and anti-inflammatory ingredients and it looks beautiful in the glass, too. You will need about a cup of strawberries, 2 cups of cubed watermelon, a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary, filtered water and just a dash of course salt. Just muddle the strawberries and rosemary together in a bowl and then add them with the cubed watermelon to your pitcher. Pour filtered water over it, give it just a light stir and then refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Lower belly fat also reveals poor sleep habits. Researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine examined five years of sleep habits and visceral fat accumulation in adults younger than 40; they found that those who slept less than six hours per night or more than nine hours, on average, had higher amounts of belly fat. Their results, published in Sleep in 2010, suggest that getting a good night's sleep helps deter the development of lower belly fat.
Sometimes, taking charge feels good. Reunions come along from time to time. So do beach getaways, job interviews, big dates, and other “holy cow, I’d better get it in gear” moments. Taking control of our fitness and health at important junctures in life gives us a sense of accomplishment. You’ll be able to revisit this cleanse whenever a big event looms. Turbocharged results are within your grasp. What I love about this cleanse is that it doesn’t require truly dramatic sacrifice. The only serious change you’ll need to make, besides giving up mindless snacking, is in your morning routine.
Love handles are a combination of visceral and subcutaneous fat located in your lower belly and back. Love handles are known for sticking out above your jeans and there is typically one roll of fat on each hip that could be easily grasped, thus the name “handles”. Love handles and lower belly fat can be the most difficult fat to lose. Because it is so hard to lose, it can be confusing and frustrating to deal with. A variety of factors cause fat to build up on the lower belly and love handles including:
A recent study at Penn State found that people who react badly to stressful situations have increased levels of inflammation in their bodies—and inflammation is directly tied to obesity, as well as diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer. When anxiety rides high, you're also at the mercy of stress hormones such as cortisol—known as "the belly fat hormone" for its ability to pull lipids from the bloodstream and store them in our fat cells. And a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when stress prevents people from sleeping well, they are more likely to make bad food choices, snack late at night, and choose high-carb snacks.
Core exercises go far beyond your grandparent’s idea of sit-ups and pushups. The core is everything in your trunk, from your upper legs, hips, abs, back, and chest. Exercises that focus on improving your core muscles help you improve your strength and tone beneath your fat. Exercises for love handles should include plenty of core exercise. Focusing on your core should form a major component of your cardio routine and improved diet.
I drink a fruit and cucumber. ..with lemon or lime everyday. ..im lost without it! I take frozen berry blend (1/4 cup) 3 slices of oranges. ..6 slkces of the fancy small cucumbers. …squeeze in my lemon. …..and I drink this all day…and I keep refilling it more…so I drink about 96 -100 oz a day…I have no added sugars…..or gluten in my day as well…in the morning im feeling the results from this detoxification drink…..everyone’s ALWAYS asking me whats in your bottle it looks yummy!
4. Hormonal Belly: According to Rachel Attard, a certified personal trainer and nutritionist, a hormonal imbalance can contribute to weight gain. She explains how estrogen and progesterone can cause weight gain. The first point she makes is that high estrogen levels can increase insulin, which can lead to sugar cravings. This is why you see many women eat chocolate during PMS. Another point she makes is that high levels of estrogen have the ability to cause more fatty tissue growth. In most cases, she states that the excess fat is usually around the stomach area because estrogen also dictates where the body will distribute fat.
Do cardiovascular exercise on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Sweating is one of our body's methods of eliminating toxins. Besides being excellent for heart health, cardio training burns calories to help tighten that mid-section. Try 30 to 60 minutes of low-intensity cardio per day. Low-intensity burns more body fat, according to the "Muscle Nerd" Jeff Anderson. Remember that cardio is cumulative, so feel free to spread your exercise out over several smaller sessions throughout the day.
Hormonal changes also make belly fat develop. Women, in child-bearing years, tend to gain fat in their hips, thighs and buttocks to supply a reserve of energy during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As their levels of estrogen drop during menopause, fat migrates more to the belly. Men always have a tendency to develop belly fat, but there's no known physiological reason why. Once hormone levels of testosterone start to reduce in men after age 40, belly fat gain expedites.
This yummy water has the antioxidant properties of blueberries and the toxin flushing properties of citrus. Plus, it’s really easy to make and tastes wonderful. Just mix about six cups of water in a picture with ice cubes, a handful of fresh blueberries and 2 mandarin oranges peeled and cut into chunks. You’ll want this to sit in the fridge for at least two hours so that the water has time to infuse. You can muddle the blueberries just a bit if you want to have a stronger taste or squeeze the juice from an additional orange into your water.
The addition of sugarcane doubles up the fat-burning process. They are packed full of dietary fibre and is naturally sweet in nature so, you don't need to worry about the calories. The juice of the sugarcane has detoxifying properties which can help in cleansing your system by eliminating the toxins from the body. Drinking sugarcane juice is known to increase your metabolism at a higher rate as compared to plain water  .
Another common problem for women experiencing the post-pregnancy belly bulge is that pregnancy acts to stimulate fat-storing hormones. To counter this, experts recommend taking fish oil supplements. To be specific, anywhere from three to five 1,000mg capsules per day—which help to activate fat-burning hormones, and de-activate fat-storing ones. A diet that is rich in nuts, oils and olives also helps to burn fat.

Another public-private partnership (P3) may get wiped off the map, this time on Montreal’s South Shore.
Yesterday, the residents of Beloeil were invited to come to City Hall to sign a petition demanding a referendum on a controversial proposal to build a recreation center using a P3. The response was overwhelming—no fewer than 1,080 people came out, twice what was is required to force a vote.
It was provincial municipal affairs officials who forced the city to hold the vote, in response to intense public pressure. Unhappy with this turn of events, mayor Réal Jeannotte said last week that he would cancel the contract with the private firm rather than hold a referendum.
The municipal employees’ union (CUPE 4750) had earlier got its hands on an email from Beloeil’s city manager stating that the municipality had opted to go the P3 route to avoid having to consult residents on a government loan. This strategy has now been thwarted.
Last week CUPE sent a letter to all Beloeil households from CUPE-Québec president Lucie Levasseur inviting them to sign the petition. It was accompanied by a leaflet created by CUPE’s municipal branch clearly outlining the pitfalls of P3s.

As a car bolts away, a device embedded in the front grille of a pursuing police car launches a small projectile that then attaches to the back of its target.
It sounds like something out of a Mission Impossible movie, but this device may help U.S. law enforcement agencies track vehicles in a safer way than engaging in a high-speed chase that creates danger for officers, passengers, and bystanders.
The Milwaukee Police Department announced this week that it will be outfitting its vehicles with a system that launches GPS trackers. The device, which was developed by StarChase of Virginia Beach, Virginia, propels a tracking device that looks like a cylindrical “bullet” with adhesive that can attach to the back of a moving vehicle. The GPS data is read on a screen in the police car, which locates the vehicle in real time.
The launcher costs $5,000 per device. StarChase Founder and CEO Trevor Fischbach says that the cost of high-speed pursuits is significant. “What keeps us going is unfortunately the tragedies that happen every single day,” he said. “Even the victims that do survive are generally affected as a result of the accident.”
StarChase, which describes itself as a pursuit-management technology company, says that over 55,000 injuries occur each year in pursuit-related crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 10,000 people have been killed in high-speed pursuits since 1982 – nearly a third of which were innocent bystanders.
New technologies that track people’s whereabouts have prompted debate about civil liberties and reasonable search. Advocates, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, say that this form of search should not be problematic if the “police catch up to the suspect as soon as they can.” But police could find themselves at odds with the law should they use the trackers to learn more about the driver.
About two dozen police departments are using the device. The Austin Police Department, which started using the device in 2013 and has 10 police vehicles equipped, has reported great success. Officers have used the device in 36 pursuits – and they have not had any officer, suspect or bystander sustain injuries in that time, the department says. All of the suspects were apprehended, either immediately or after a warrant was issued.
In at least one case, Fischbach said, the technology unexpectedly uncovered an instance of human trafficking. In 2009, the Arizona Highway Patrol closed in on a targeted vehicle suspected of being involved in a drug case. When it was stopped, officers found nine teenage girls who had been smuggled across the border from Mexico.


Ingolstadt, Germany – Audi’s has expanded its experimental Travolution project to enable vehicles to communicate directly with traffic light systems, using wireless LAN and UMTS links. 15 test vehicles and 25 sets of traffic lights now permit the system to be sampled in actual traffic conditions in the city on the Danube.
The traffic signals transmit data that are processed into graphic form and shown on the car’s driver information display screen. The graphics tell the driver for instance what speed to adopt so that the next traffic light changes to green before the car reaches it. This speed, which keeps the traffic flowing as smoothly as possible, can then be selected at the adaptive cruise control (ACC) – but the driver can also delegate this task to the car’s control system.
The results obtained during the first travolution project in 2006 were immediate and dramatic: reduced waiting times at traffic signals cut fuel consumption by 17 percent. In a full year this would save as much as 700,000 litres (184,920.44 US gallons) of fuel.


Lee Smith is a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute and author of The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations. On December 28, Mr. Smith addressed the Middle East Forum via conference call on the implications of Wikileaks regarding the Middle East, and their significance for U.S. policy in the region, a topic he has focused on in recent articles.
According to Mr. Smith, the Wikilieaks have some positive aspects revealing an interesting dynamic in the Middle East. While many define the Middle East according to the Arab-Israeli conflict, the leaked cables expose an "Arab Cold War" paradigm crucial to understanding the region. For example, the concerns of our allies in the Gulf, as well as Jordan and Egypt, towards the Iranian nuclear program are proof of a more complex situation. Mr. Smith suggests that this is positive; for starters, it evidences that the actions of Middle East actors are determined by considerations far beyond the Arab-Israeli conflict—even if the latter gets most of the attention.
The most problematic implication of the Wikileaks, Mr. Smith remarked, is that they have "muddied" the flow of information. For instance, a Beirut-based newspaper, Al Akhbar, ran a series of supposed Wikileak cables that were extremely damaging to U.S. allies in Lebanon and extremely helpful to Hezbollah, Tehran, and Damascus; even so, it is unclear how many of these were authentic. As a result, Wikileaks, he argued, have introduced the possibility of information fabrication in the future to serve the interests of U.S. adversaries.
During the question-and-answer period, Mr. Smith was asked what the most shocking pieces of information Wikileaks revealed about specific countries. He stated that while many merely confirmed things already suspected, the Wikileaks provide insight on Turkey, for example. Since 9/11, Washington has applauded Turkey as being a paradigm of democracy and Islam, leading to the assumption that the State Department was being misled regarding Turkey and the AKP Party, as many have argued. Thus the Wikileaks indicate that Washington does, in fact, have a clearer understanding of Turkey, despite what is publicly stated.
Mr. Smith concluded that the Wikileaks prove that one can understand the region by relying on open source material—as Daniel Pipes also pointed out. In short, the Wikileaks ultimately "confirmed the general picture that we had of the region before."

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is the chemical term for the baking powder. You might see it in the supermarket called soda bicarbonate. For the same stuff, this is the old name. It’s got the NaHCO3 chemical formula.
What is the different between baking soda and baking powder?
While both products appear similar, they’re certainly not the same. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which requires an acid and a liquid to become activated and help baked goods rise. Conversely, baking powder includes sodium bicarbonate, as well as an acid. It only needs a liquid to become activated.
What is the formula for baking soda and baking powder?
Baking soda is a sodium salt with the chemical name Sodium Bicarbonate. The chemical formula of baking soda is NaHCO3. As the formula suggests, it comprises of Na+ and HCO3- ions. As shared earlier, baking soda is primarily used as a leavening or raising agent in cooking.
What can I use if I dont have baking powder?
Substitute each teaspoon (5 grams) of baking powder in the recipe with 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) vinegar. Summary: Each teaspoon (5 grams) of baking powder can be replaced with a 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) baking soda and a 1/2 teaspoon vinegar.
What is baking powder in chemistry?
Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent, a mixture of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid. … It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid–base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture.
What happens if you forget baking powder?
It is possible to make cookies without baking soda or baking powder, but the resulting cookie will be dense. This is because carbon dioxide is not being produced by a chemical reaction that typically occurs when baking soda or powder is present in the cookie batter.
Is baking powder healthy?
Baking powder is a cooking product that helps batter rise. Many of my followers ask me the question “how safe is it to use baking powder?” Baking powder is considered nontoxic when it is used in cooking and baking. However, serious complications can occur from overdoses or allergic reactions.
What happens if you use baking powder instead of baking soda?
Baking powder may be used as a substitute for baking soda. … For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of baking soda, use 3 teaspoons of baking powder as a replacement. Note that this substitution may result in a slightly saltier and more acidic flavor than the original recipe intended.
What happens when baking powder is heated?
Answer. Baking powder is hydrogen carbonate. When hydrogen carbonate is heated or mixed with water it evolves carbon dioxide gas which gets converted into sodium carbonate. NaHCO3 →Na2C03 +CO2+H2O.
Is baking powder harmful?
Baking powder is a cooking product that helps batter rise. This article discusses the effects of swallowing a large amount of baking powder. Baking powder is considered nontoxic when it is used in cooking and baking. However, serious complications can occur from overdoses or allergic reactions.
Can I bake without baking powder?
You can, however, make a baking powder substitute by using baking soda. All you need to make baking powder are two ingredients: baking soda and cream of tartar. … So that means you’d use a teaspoon of lemon juice plus a ¼ teaspoon baking soda to make 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Bosch Believes Small Explosions Will Make EVs Safer in Accidents
【Summary】More specifically, tiny explosions would reduce the possibility of an electric cable that's connected to the EV's battery coming into contact with the car's body, electronics, or other wires to reduce the risk of an electronic shock.
Compared to gasoline-powered cars, electric vehicles are a lot more complicated. There's more wiring, more electricity, more electronics, more components, and more going on. In crashes, we've seen electric vehicles burst into a massive ball of flame . The components in electric vehicles are more prone to being punctured and, when exposed to open air, resulting in a flame that's hard to put out. While batteries have become a component for consumers to worry about, Bosch believes that an EV's wiring is also a troubling area.
Explosions As Another Precautionary Measure
In gasoline cars, an accident could see a fuel tank rupture, leading to a fire. When there's an EV involved, there's the battery, wiring, and electric systems. While most electrified vehicles have systems that can shut off electricity to vital components, Bosch believes that EVs have to have more. If an EV's wires were to get damaged or become severed in an accident, the wires could transfer a whole bunch of electricity to the car's body, making it a dangerous hazard.
Going forward, Bosch wants electric cars to have semiconductors that are directly integrated into the vehicle's electrical system. The conductors will also be digitally linked to the car's airbag sensors. When the sensors are triggered, the semiconductors set off tiny explosions that cut high-voltage cables and severs their connection to the battery. This reduces the risk of high-voltage wires getting into contact with other parts of the vehicle.
Lifesaving Tech For EV Owners
Bosch's system sounds like a no-brainer for automakers. It would add another level of safety and peace of mind for EV owners. It also wouldn't be too difficult for manufacturers to integrate into their own vehicles. Bosch claims the explosives are as small as a fingernail and weigh just a few grams. So, they wouldn't take up a lot of room or add a lot of weight to the vehicle.
While Bosch believes that its simple system could help save lives, Karl-Heinz Knorr, vice-president of the German firefighters association, believes all EVs should come with the systems.
"Faced with the growing number of electric vehicles that could potentially be involved in collisions, such systems are absolutely essential if we are able to fulfill our mission of helping and rescuing victims of road accidents as rapidly and safely as possible," said Knorr.
Bosch isn't in the automaking industry, but in the components and technology market. So while the company can come out with all sorts of cool technology, it's up to automakers to actually incorporate them into vehicles.

343 Industries Steps Into The Ring
The world was a very different place in 2001. Call of Duty hadn’t been released yet, Medal of Honor was good , and fans of first-person shooters were still searching for health packs instead of waiting for their health to regenerate automatically. And then Halo came out to completely change the landscape, not only of the first-person shooter, but of gaming in general.
Ten years later, there’s probably not a gamer in the States who hasn’t heard of Halo. The image of Master Chief has become synonymous with Microsoft’s consoles, and perhaps even of gaming itself. But with recent additions in the series, like Reach and ODST, the original tale that started this phenomenon is becoming a rapidly fading memory from a past generation. 343 Industries wants to change this, throwing players back in the shoes of Master Chief himself and letting them re-experience the story of Combat Evolved in HD.
Now, calling this game a remake is almost doing it a disservice. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary was completely rebuilt from the ground up, with new textures and character models (though several of the character models may have been imported from Reach.) But is there room for a ten-year-old title on your shelf alongside all the great games that have come out this year?
The answer to that depends on what type of person you are. If you’ve never played a Halo game and are looking for a good jumping in point, then CE Anniversary is a must-buy. If you’re absolutely in love with the CE story and want to play through it again in glorious HD, again, this is a must-own title. If you’re the kind of player who won’t even touch a single-player campaign but will spend dozens of hours in online multiplayer, then this title is a strong “maybe.” But for you, there is a second option. More on that later.
The most important thing to know about CE Anniversary is that it’s the exact same campaign you played back in 2001, right down to the positions of the enemies. Only it’s been given an exhaustive graphical makeover to the point you might not even recognize screenshots of it as being from CE. The muddy, blurry textures that were so prevalent at the beginning of the original Xbox’s lifespan have been removed, replaced with much more highly detailed ones. To top it off, bland landscapes have been filled with ferns and other sundry types of vegetation, giving you the impression that this is a world that lives and breathes. Character models have been given an overhaul as well; the Covenant, Flood, and even the Marines have new life, and the grunts in particular look suspiciously like those found in Reach.
Now, the reason the aesthetic is so important here is that, ten years ago, Halo completely blew us away with its atmosphere. The fact that we weren’t on Earth was apparent everywhere we looked, from the strange ring shape of the world itself—which we could see extending off into space—to the alien architecture that dotted the landscape.
Now, in my opinion, Halo will always be at its best when it’s contrasting the extremely organic, natural landscapes with the bizarre metal structures that were obviously built by some sort of sentient beings with remarkable technology. With the overhauled visuals, this contrast becomes even starker. Driving a Warthog on the beach in the beginning of “The Silent Cartographer” is a great example of where this dichotomy works brilliantly. Another example, and perhaps my favorite, is the downed Pillar of Autumn in the middle of the desert in the game’s final chapter.
The graphics aren’t the only new addition though. Every mission has a hidden terminal to discover, which will show you a video that gives you a deeper look at some of the lore. I originally expected these to be simple blocks of text, but they are actually full videos done with a mix of CGI and painting-style animations. They look incredible, and are well worth the effort of searching for them all. Also, Skulls, which weren’t originally implemented until Halo 2, have been hidden in some obscure places, and finding them allows you to tweak your gameplay experience. Generally, Skulls make the game more difficult, doing things like increasing enemy health or lowering the amount of ammo you gain from drops. And, of course, there is a full list of achievements to help you bolster your GamerScore.
If you are a complete purist and want to experience the exact game you did back in 2001, you can use the back button at any time to toggle the graphics back to the 2001 original. There is an option to toggle the audio back to the non-remastered version as well.
And speaking of the audio, it’s as great here as it’s always been, only now it’s been remastered for a higher quality overall experience. As I mentioned earlier, it’s the contrast between the organic and the alien that makes Halo such a standout experience, and the score emphasizes this. With its monastic chants layered with synthesized string sounds, or tribal beats played on electronic drums and punctuated with electric guitar riffs, Halo manages to sound both ancient and modern at the same time.
However, as beautiful as the game looks and sounds now, it still shows its age. The character models may have been given extraordinary amounts of detail, but the low polygon counts of objects in the environment don’t always lend themselves to the incredibly rich textures that have been applied to them. However, purists of the Halo mythos won’t find complaint with this, as every last bend in every last rock is in the exact spot as it was in the original game.
But no amount of visual fidelity can hide the fact that the gameplay feels a little outdated. Not as much as other shooters from this era, mind you, but dated nonetheless. This is the most apparent in the middle portion of the game, in which you’ll traverse cut-and-paste versions of the same exact rooms over and over. And toward the end, it’s hard to ignore the fact that most of the second half of the campaign is spent backtracking through the first half.
The controls are unmistakably Halo. The franchise has once again omitted the option to let players use ironsights. But this is something Halo fans have come to expect. Even Reach, which released just last year, didn’t have this feature, and, truth be told, it would feel out of place in a Halo game. If you’re used to the more modern control schemes of shooters like Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3, you might have to spend some time getting used to the Halo setup. Yet once you do, it all begins to feel natural, though admittedly not as refined as Reach. But if you’ve played CE before, you’ll find those nostalgia centers of your brain kicking in and taking over. I have to admit, though, that driving Warthogs is as awkward as it was back in 2001, and this makes the ending sequence a bit more frustrating than it would be otherwise.
Of course, for many, it’s the multiplayer experience that draws them to Halo. After all, this was the shooter you’d find in just about every dorm room in the United States circa 2001. CE Anniversary has a scaled-down multiplayer package, with six classic maps selected from Halo: CE and Halo 2, as well as a brand new Firefight map called Installation 04. These maps have been rebuilt in the Reach engine, making them compatible with Halo: Reach. In fact, if you want to skip the CE campaign altogether, you can just download the multiplayer portion as a map pack for Reach. If you do buy CE Anniversary, though, you’ll get a code to download the maps so you can access them from either CE Anniversary or Reach.
And the Reach engine means that besides Reach’s graphics, you’ll have the Reach HUD, the Reach version of the assault rifle (32 rounds per clip rather than CE’s 64), and, most importantly, Reach’s smoother controls. Even the Warthogs feel less awkward in multiplayer than they do in the campaign.
All in all, this is a welcome return to an adventure that changed the face of gaming a decade ago. The upgraded look does a lot to bring back that sense of awe that we felt the first time we played the game. The multiplayer experience is small, but the compatibility with Reach means there will be a larger pool of people playing these maps. If you’ve never played the game that launched the Halo franchise, or if you’ve been longing for a return to this adventure, pick this up. If you’re only interested in multiplayer, the map pack is a solid purchase as well.
RATING OUT OF 5 RATING DESCRIPTION 4.7 Graphics
Combat Evolved has never looked better. The refined visuals bring back the “wow factor” of being on this strange alien world. 4.2 Control
The controls are decidedly Halo: not as modernized as other shooters or even as smooth as Reach’s, but still intuitive. Some vehicles, however, feel awkward. 4.5 Music / Sound FX / Voice Acting
Halo’s score has always been great, and it sounds better than ever now that it’s been remastered. The voice acting, however, comes from a bygone era, and isn’t always as good as we’d hope. 3.8 Play Value
The campaign feels more repetitive than you probably remember. Online offerings are a plus, but there are only seven maps in the entire multiplayer experience. 4.3 Overall Rating – Great
Not an average. See Rating legend below for a final score breakdown.

Two years on from the military coup in Myanmar that has led to civil unrest within the country, IndustriAll has designed a framework on what a responsible exit looks like for garments brands wishing to exit.
The framework outlines a business exit negotiated with workers’ representatives that ensures the rights of workers are protected, adequate severance is paid to those affected, and ensures that cases of workers’ rights violations that are still pending will be remediated.
However, IndustriAll states, the framework, which is called ‘Framework Principles of a Brand’s Responsible Business Disengagement from Myanmar‘ is not a commitment by the brands that helped towards creating it to cease operations.
IndustriAll general secretary Atle Høie said: “We have been guided by the representatives of the affected workers, the union movement of Myanmar, to call on companies to cease their operations.
“This document defines a responsible exit. We call on all companies doing business in Myanmar – not just the garment industry – to use this framework to plan their exit from the country.”
A report commissioned by the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) in September last year concluded that due diligence and freedom of association was not possible in Myanmar, and that trade unions cannot function.

Following this, a number of brands announced their intention to cease production in the country, however, last month it was claimed that workers’ rights had been “brutally repressed” in Myanmar, with little to no action from the brands who source from them.


Five people were shot late Monday night near a Black Lives Matter protest at a Minneapolis police station, according to police.
The shooting took place about a block from the Minneapolis Police Department’s Fourth Precinct, where protesters have been conducting a continuous sit-in since the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark by police officers on Nov. 15.
Minneapolis police have identified the suspects as three white men. A law-enforcement source told local news station KSTP that they may have been wearing bulletproof vests. No arrests had been made at press time.
In a statement on social media, Black Lives Matter Minneapolis said that, at around 10:45 p.m. Monday, several protesters were attacked by a group of “white supremacists.” After asking the three masked white men to leave the gathering, a few protesters reportedly followed them about a block north of the police station. There, at least two of the men drew weapons and opened fire.
One protester was shot in the stomach, another in the arm, and two others in the leg, according to witnesses. A police spokesman said that two of the victims were taken to the hospital by ambulance and three others got there on their own. None of the wounded suffered critical injuries.
Authorities say that Jamar Clark was shot ten days ago in a struggle with police after he interfered with paramedics providing medical care to a woman who was assaulted. At a news conference last Thursday, police union president Robert Kroll said that, when he was shot, Clark had “physical control” over an officer’s pistol.
But multiple witnesses have come forward telling an entirely different story. A local barbershop owner, for instance, told CNN on Sunday that the police restraining Clark had “complete control” over him when he was killed. Another witness said he saw Clark in handcuffs immediately after the gunshot.
In a statement early Tuesday, Clark’s family called for an end to the occupation of the Fourth Precinct, citing public safety concerns.
“We appreciate Black Lives Matter for holding it down and keeping the protests peaceful,” said Eddie Sutton, Clark’s brother. “But in light of tonight’s shootings, the family feels out of imminent concern for the safety of the occupiers, we must get the occupation of the 4th precinct ended and onto the next step.”
The protesters have been calling for police to release footage from the night of the shooting. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton told reporters on Monday that he had seen one video captured from the back of an ambulance and that it appeared to be inconclusive. “I’ve seen the tape,” he said. “It doesn’t show anything that would be any confirmation of one point of view or another.”
Investigators say they have collected multiple videos from cell phones and other sources but that releasing them could taint witness testimony.
Black Lives Matter Minneapolis has planned a student walkout and march from the Fourth Precinct on Tuesday at 2 p.m. local time. Attendees have been asked to wear all black.

Nursing Home Inspection Reports Leave Gaps• Orlando Sentinel
By Kate Santich
If you want to check on conditions at a Florida nursing home where your elderly loved one is living, you might be surprised at what you don’t find in state inspection reports that are legally required to be open to the public.
Like dates. Or places. Or pivotal words.
“On Sunday morning,” one such report reads, “——— at 6:30 a.m., she stated she entered the resident’s ———, found the resident in the bathtub, with the water running, slumped over and ———-.”
The leader of a national watchdog group, Brian Lee of Families For Better Care, calls the heavily censored reports — which cover inspections of nursing homes and assisted living facilities — “shocking.” He first noticed a difference in the amount of information withheld late last year.
“The state is stripping these reports of critical information that the public would use to make sense of what is happening,” Lee said.
Others are concerned that the problem is part of a pattern of state officials holding back information on long-term care facilities.
“I’ve been looking at these reports for 20 years, and I know what they used to look like and what they look like now,” said Nathan Carter, an Orlando personal injury attorney whose clients have included nursing home residents and their families. “It has become arbitrary and inconsistent what they redact — but I think it’s all part of a bigger purpose to confuse people and make the reports useless.”
