After leaving our bags at the hotel, we started wandering the streets of New York. One block down we came upon Macy’s holiday windows. There were so many people huddled at the windows we had to watch our turn to get to them. The windows were cute but I was expecting something more than what was there. Macy’s was celebrating the 50th anniversary of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” in 3D scenes recreating six key moments from Charles Schultz’s indelible cartoon classic. The gang’s all here: angsty Charlie Brown, bossy Lucy, deceptively deep Linus, musical Schroeder, indefatigable Snoopy and more. The characters in delightful installations showed off the their moving parts, music and interactive features.


MANAHAWKIN – Motorists take note: traffic will be shifted from the new bridge to the reconstructed Old Causeway Bridge on Feb. 5 as the Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridges project continues.
New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced that contractor George Harms Construction Co. will be shifting Route 72 westbound traffic from the newly constructed Causeway Bridge into a single lane over the reconstructed Old Causeway Bridge from 7-11:30 a.m. The shift will reopen this lane on the Old Causeway Bridge to traffic for the first time since 2016.
Eastbound traffic will remain the same, on the New Causeway Bridge.
While only one lane in each direction on Route 72 has been open since October, two lanes are expected to be reopened before the start of summer, stated NJDOT.
On Feb. 6, the center median U-turn on Cedar Bonnet Island near the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge Environmental Trail between the main Causeway Bridges and the West Thorofare Bridges will be closed in both directions for drainage work.
Motorists wishing to make U-turn will be redirected while work continues.
Motorists can check NJDOT’s traffic information website 511nj.org for updates and more information.

Publication: Russian Federation: Agriculture Support Policies and Performance
Since 2013, the performance of Russian agriculture can fairly be described as remarkable. On average, Russian agriculture has been growing faster (3.3 percent per year) than gross domestic product (GDP) (0.9 percent per year). Increasing food exports and decreasing imports have led to a fall in the agricultural trade deficit from nearly US27 billion dollars in 2013 to about US5 billion dollars in 2018. As a result of this performance, Russian self-sufficiency targets have been met in all commodities except for milk production. Despite this positive trajectory, Russian agriculture is operating at less than its potential. Several studies have called attention to abandoned land as proof that Russian agriculture is underperforming. Currently, Russia uses just over half of registered agricultural lands (Uzun, 2017a). However, only 5-10 percent of total croplands could feasibly be brought back into production. Moreover, increases in gross agricultural output in OECD countries, as well as in Russia, come overwhelmingly from yield increases and not from increases in area. This report presents a general overview of Russian agriculture performance and policy, focusing on both the achievements of the past few years and the limits to that performance. It begins with a broad survey of production, land use, livestock, productivity and trade (chapter one). It then focuses on policies in the State Program for the Development of Agriculture in Russia, the types of support, distribution of subsidies, and the effectiveness of the Program (chapter two). It then focuses on how Russian support differs from support in OECD and other countries (chapter three). It ends with a conclusion on what can be done for Russian agriculture to operate closer to its potential (chapter four).

Wearing a t-shirt that feels so soft is probably the one thing everyone would really like to experience. However, there are so many people who are now aware of the importance of eco-friendly organic cotton t-shirts.
The production of organic cotton does not pollute the environment. Organic cotton plants take a lot of nutrients to create the adequate amount of cotton necessary for the production of t-shirts. You can purchase eco-friendly cotton t-shirts via https://commonstrand.com/organic-cotton-t-shirts/
To meet the cotton requirements, large farms use lots of fertilizer. The use of pesticides can help temporarily ensure that pests don't infect cotton fields. But after prolonged use, pests and weeds develop a certain immunity from these types of chemicals, warranting additional amounts to be used afterward. Once pesticides or fertilizers are used, the amount used will simply increase over time.
Apart from the use of harmful chemicals, cotton fields need plenty of water to grow. You may not know this but to produce 1 pound of cotton demands about 3,500 gallons of water.
While these figures might appear monotonous, there's still a bright side in the manufacture of cotton T-shirts, which is via using organic cotton. Such cotton is grown using natural means such as natural fertilizers instead of artificial fertilizers. They also use organic pesticides that come primarily from plants and are not chemical-based which are often carcinogens.
There have been noteworthy manufacturers that follow natural practices. They are situated in various locations, some of which may be discovered in Australia.

Two London-listed annuity providers backed by private equity firms saw their shares plummet today following a radical overhaul of pension laws announced in the U.K. government’s annual budget.
Annuity providers Partnership Assurance Group – taken public by buyout firm Cinven in June last year – and Just Retirement Group – listed by Permira in November – saw their share price slide today after U.K. chancellor George Osborne promised to change rules on how people access their retirement savings.
Under current rules, many pension holders have been forced into buying annuities – financial products which allow people to convert their savings to regular income – due to high taxes on withdrawing money in a lump sum. The Chancellor’s proposals will remove these tax restrictions, which currently see people charged up to 55% for withdrawing more than a quarter of their pension.
Partnership Assurance’s share price had fallen by 55.2% by 17:20 GMT today. Just Retirement’s shares fell 41.5%.
The development is likely to hit the returns expected by Cinven and Permira on their majority holdings in the companies, after the European buyout firms held on to significant stakes following last year’s IPOs.
Cinven still owns 52% of Partnership Assurance. It made £300 million in the IPO and retained a 52% stake in the company, valued at £800 million at IPO price of 385p. At its price of roughly 140p on March 19, that stake is now worth about £290 million. Cinven declined to comment.
One banker on the Partnership Assurance deal said investors were reacting cautiously to the Budget changes: “All of that is yet to play out. No-one has [a] good feel for what this will mean. It depends how IFAs will steer their clients.”
He added: “Bear in mind they [Cinven] are on a massive win.” He said that Cinven could hold on to their stake for longer than anticipated as a result of the movements in share price. “They were sat on a seven or eight-times gain at the moment of the IPO. That’s come off now but not a huge amount. It’s always a big win.”
The news is particularly ill-timed for Partnership Assurance, which had already seen its shares fall today prior to the budget announcement. Announcing its 2013 results today, the company reported a 3% fall in premiums for the year ended December 31. In the firm’s annual report, Steve Groves, chief executive of the company, said “regulatory changes” at the end of 2012 had “had a deeper and longer impact on the retirement and care annuity markets than we forsaw”. The company also warned sales during the first quarter of 2014 would be lower the last three quarters of 2013.
Partnership Assurance could not be reached for comment on the budget development.
Permira holds a 61% stake in Just Retirement which was worth £686 million at IPO price of 225p. This is now worth roughly £461 million at the current price of 151p. The private equity firm and Just Retirement’s management sold a stake worth £43.2 million in the IPO. Permira declined to comment.
In a statement to the London Stock Exchange, Just Retirement said: “Annuitisation has not been mandatory for several years, yet 90% of consumers continue to choose wisely to secure a guaranteed income for life by annuitising. The proposed reforms suggest more choice for all retirees, ensuring better value for money for those who continue to annuitise.”
Both Just Retirement and Partnership Assurance have carved out a niche in the annuity market and offer specialised services to people looking to access their retirement savings. Just Retirement offers income based on an individual’s health and lifestyle, while Partnership Assurance offers annuities to those with pre-existing medical conditions.

Correction: the article has been updated to reflect that Cinven owns 52%, not 55.9% of Partnership Assurance shares.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterised by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. The condition results from the body’s inadequate production of insulin or the body’s altered response to insulin, or both. Diabetes causes abnormally high glucose levels (hyperglycemia), circulatory problems, and nerve damage.
Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting people of all ages and walks of life. The disease can cause a number of long-term complications, resulting in disability, reduced quality of life, and premature death. Exercise plays an important role in diabetes. Physiotherapists are experts in exercise prescription for people with chronic illnesses and are therefore able to provide advice on physical activity and promote self-management practices. Physiotherapists also assist with the management of complications associated with diabetes.
Our highly skilled physiotherapists will use specific exercise programmes, manual therapy, massage and electrical devices to help treat musculoskeletal conditions which can develop with diabetes. After assessing your specific condition, a personalised treatment plan will be outlined to address all your needs.
The best results in managing diabetes come from a combination of resistance and aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercise is effective in strengthening the heart and respiratory capacity. It burns stored calories to help reduce unwanted fat. Resistance exercises strengthen the muscles and bones. It increases the body’s metabolic rate over time and can contribute to the control of your blood sugar.
Diabetic foot care is extremely important as leg and foot problems are the most common reason for diabetes-related hospitalisation. Our physiotherapists work closely with our consultants to ensure you are receiving all the appropriate care you need. Diabetics often have pain from nerve impairment. Electrical stimulation, sensory desensitization and targeted exercise help manage pain and let patients perform physical activity.
Physiotherapy treatments contribute to the prevention of the complications that can occur in diabetic patients. Those patients who are at risk can benefit from the involvement of their physiotherapist in developing the programs that support their goals. By understanding how exercise and nutrition affect blood sugar regulation, you and your physiotherapist can develop an exercise program that supports your long-term health.

Diabetes and joint pain are considered to be independent conditions. Joint pain may be a response to an illness, injury, or arthritis. It can be chronic (long-term) or acute (short-term). Diabetes is caused by the body not using the hormone insulin correctly, or insufficient production of it, which affects blood sugar levels.
Diabetes can damage joints, a condition called diabetic arthropathy. Unlike pain caused by immediate trauma, the pain of arthropathy happens over time. Other symptoms include:
Changes in the feet
Carpal tunnel syndrome
A joint is a place where two bones come together. Once a joint wears down, the protection it provides is lost. Joint pain from diabetic arthropathy comes in different forms
Charcot’s joint occurs when diabetic nerve damage causes a joint to break down. Also called neuropathic arthropathy, this condition is seen in the feet and ankles in people with diabetes. Nerve damage in the feet is common in diabetes, which may lead to Charcot’s joint. A loss of nerve function leads to numbness. People who walk on numb feet are more likely to twist and injure ligaments without knowing it. This places pressure on the joints, which can eventually cause them to wear down. Severe damage leads to deformities in the foot and other affected joints.
Bone deformities in Charcot’s joint may be prevented through early intervention. Signs of the condition include:
Swelling or redness
An area that is hot to the touch
Changes in the appearance of feet
If your doctor determines that your joint pain is related to diabetic Charcot’s joint, it’s important to limit use of the affected areas to prevent bone deformities. If you have numb feet, consider wearing orthotics for additional support.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. It may be caused or aggravated by excess weight, which is a common problem in those with type 2 diabetes. Unlike Charcot’s joint, OA is not directly caused by diabetes. Instead, being overweight increases the risk of developing both type 2 diabetes and OA.
OA occurs when the cushioning between the joints (cartilage) wears down. This causes the bones to rub up against each other, and results in joint pain. While joint wear-and-tear is natural to some extent in older adults, excess weight speeds up the process. You may notice increasing difficulty in moving your limbs, as well as swelling at the joints. The hips and knees are the most commonly affected areas in OA.
The best way to treat OA is to manage your weight. Excess weight puts more pressure on the bones. It also makes diabetes harder to control, so losing extra pounds can not only alleviate chronic joint pain; it may ease other diabetes symptoms.
Losing 15 pounds may decrease knee pain by 50 per cent. Regular exercise can do more than maintain weight. Physical movement also helps lubricate your joints. As a result, you may feel less pain. Your doctor may prescribe pain medications to use when joint discomfort from OA becomes unbearable. Surgery, such as knee replacement, may be required in severe cases.
Codman introduced the term “frozen shoulder” in 1934 to describe patients who had a painful loss of shoulder motion with normal radiographic studies. In 1946, Neviaser named the condition “adhesive capsulitis” based on the radiographic appearance with arthrography, which suggested “adhesion” of the capsule of the GH joint limiting overall joint space volume. Patients with adhesive capsulitis have a painful restriction of both active and passive GH joint motion in all planes, or a global loss of GH joint motion
People with diabetes are up to twice as likely to suffer from frozen shoulder due to effects on collagen in the shoulder, which holds the bones together in a joint. Collagen can become sticky if sugar molecules become attached, resulting in movement being restricted and the shoulder beginning to stiffen. This process is known as glycosylation.
Poorly controlled diabetes has long been linked to muscular and skeletal problems, with consistently high blood sugars likely to increase the risk of complications such as frozen shoulder.
Back pain is a problem that affects many people including those with diabetes. Often people with diabetes have other conditions that could cause back pain, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia or kidney problems.
More than half of people with diabetes report they have chronic pain. The most common types of chronic pain are back pain and pain in the feet or hands as a result of neuropathy. Chronic pain can make it more difficult to handle diabetes self-management activities and may lead to elevated blood sugar levels. It is important to deal with back pain so it does not have a negative impact on your ability to sleep, work, function physically and have positive relationships.
There are ways to relieve pain, improve your mood and enjoy a better quality of life:
The first step is to discuss back pain with your doctor. Learn the difference between acute and chronic pain. Acute pain is a reaction to an injury. This is what we feel when we touch the hot stove, realized we are burned and seek immediate help. Chronic pain might start with an acute injury but remain long after that initial problem. It can be related to irritation or inflammation, which is often associated with diabetes. Factors such as fear, stress, anger and trauma can lead to chronic pain. If left untreated, pain can lead to sleeplessness, tension, depression and anger. All of these emotions can contribute to chronic back pain. Your health care team can help determine whether the pain is caused by physical, emotional and/or mental factors to figure out the best way to treat it.
There are a variety of physical treatments that can relieve chronic back pain. This might include applying heat or cold to the area. Massage is a good way to relieve the symptoms of pain, including shiatsu and acupressure. Rest can help and the doctor might prescribe something to help you sleep or reduce tension. Exercise is often a very effective way to relieve back pain, including certain types of weight and resistance training to strengthen the supporting muscles and ease pressure on your joints and tendons. Do not start any exercise routine without consulting with your doctor. Your health care team might recommend a physiotherapist or dietitian. Excess weight can contribute to back pain. Losing just 10 per cent of your body weight can relieve this pressure and reduce back pain. Your doctor may also prescribe certain anti-inflammatory medicines such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen. You may have to take steroids to alleviate back pain which could lead to elevated blood sugars.
There are also neurological and mental ways to approach back pain and relieve overactive nerves. This may include antiseizure medications. Electrical stimulation may also help. Often a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit is used to send electrical pulses from the surface of your skin to your nerves to help reduce pain. Relaxation techniques can also relieve back pain such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing
Positive lifestyle habits can help you achieve healthy blood sugar levels and reduce back pain. Losing weight takes pressure off your back, hips, feet and knees. Choose whole foods rather than packaged or processed ones with additives. Avoid pushing yourself until you feel fatigued. Work at a steady pace and plan your day to avoid stress. Take time to smile and laugh to boost your mood and minimize pain. Get enough sleep each night. Make sure your mattress is firm enough to support you comfortably. Take breaks when sitting and pay close attention to your posture. Do stretching exercises which may loosen tight back muscles.
More than half of all Indians are suffering from pain. Whether it is a recent episode or chronic, many studies have revealed that pain in India is a serious problem. However, many do not even know that physiotherapy is well equipped to not only treat pain, but also its source.
Physiotherapists are experts at treating movement and neuro-musculoskeletal disorders. Pain often accompanies a movement disorder, and physiotherapists can help correct the disorder and relieve the pain.
You should wear loose-fitting clothing so you can expose the area that we will be evaluating and treating. For example, if you have a knee problem, it is best to wear shorts. For a shoulder problem, a tank top is a good choice, and for low back problems, wear a loose fitting shirt and pants so we can perform a thorough examination.
Treatment sessions typically last for 30 to 60 minutes per visit.
This is highly variable. You may need one visit or you may need months of care. It depends on your diagnosis, the severity of your impairments, your past medical history, etc. You will be re-evaluated on a monthly basis and when you see your doctor, we will provide you with a progress report with our recommendations.
You will be evaluated by one of our licensed and highly trained physiotherapists and he/she will also treat you during subsequent visits. Unlike some clinics, where you see someone different each visit, we feel it is very important to develop a one-on-one relationship with you to maintain continuity of care. Since only one physiotherapist knows your problems best, he/she is the one that will be working closely with you to speed your recovery.
For many patients, one of the primary objectives is pain relief. This is frequently accomplished with hands-on techniques, modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and/or heat or cold therapy. Movement often provides pain relief as well. Your physiotherapist will provide you with the appropriate exercises not only for pain relief but to recover range of motion, strength, and endurance.
In some cases, physiotherapy techniques can be painful. For example, recovering knee range of motion after total knee replacement or shoulder range of motion after shoulder surgery may be painful. Your physiotherapist will utilize a variety of techniques to help maximize your treatment goals. It is important that you communicate the intensity, frequency, and duration of pain to your therapist. Without this information, it is difficult for the therapist to adjust your treatment plan.
Massage may be part of your treatment. Rehabilitation specialists are trained in a variety of techniques that may help with your recovery. Deep tissue techniques may be part of the rehabilitative process. Massage is used for three reasons typically – to facilitate the venous return from a swollen area, to relax a tight muscle, or to relieve pain. Contrary to common thought, massage does not increase circulation.
Flare-ups are not uncommon. If you have a flare-up (exacerbation), give us a call. We may suggest you come back to see us, return to your doctor, or simply modify your daily activities or exercise routine.
Physiotherapists cannot make a medical diagnosis. This is something that your medical doctor will provide for you.
Physiotherapists are important members of your medical team. At this point in time, physicians are typically the health care providers that will provide you with a medical diagnosis.
Some patients will need to continue with home exercises. Some may choose to continue with a gym exercise program. Others will complete their rehabilitation and return to normal daily activities. It is important that you communicate your goals to your therapist, so he/she can develop a custom program for you.
Physiotherapists (PTs) and physiotherapist assistants (PTAs) are licensed by their respective university.
These are some things you may consider when seeking a physiotherapy department:
The therapist should be licensed.
The first visit should include a thorough medical history and physical examination before any treatment is rendered.
The patient goals should be discussed in detail during the first visit.
Care should include a variety of techniques which might include hands-on techniques, soft tissue work, therapeutic exercises and in some cases heat, cold, electrical stimulation or ultrasound.
Do they have a service that can address your problem?
Do they take your insurance or are they willing to work with you if they are not a preferred provider?
They should be conveniently located. Since sitting and driving often aggravate orthopaedic problems, there should be a very good reason for you to drive a long distance for rehabilitation.
What are the hours of operation?
Can they provide satisfaction survey results?
The therapist should provide the treatment.
Can you briefly interview the therapist before the first visit?
Ask your family and friends who they would recommend.

Su'a Cravens, who played for the Denver Broncos in 2018, almost accidentally proves why the franchise has experienced so much losing lately. This all just makes perfect sense. It's nothing new, but it's more so just a confirmation or an additional reason as to why the Denver Broncos are such a poor team over this last half-decade.
Su'a Cravens played for the Denver Broncos back in 2018 and is apparently still on terms with some current players. He took to Twitter recently and had this to say about the current team:
You can choose to believe Cravens here. You can also choose not to. I tend to believe what he has to say. The NFL is a brotherhood and I don't think Cravens is lying or fabricating anything here. He claims that numerous players don't seem to care for how Sean Payton operates as a coach. "Vic 2.0" is something that he notes in the Tweet.
So apparently, when Vic Fangio was head coach of the team, there were some players in the locker room who were not a fan of how he ran things. Fangio seemed to be viewed as egotistical and arrogant by some, and evidently was not universally liked in the locker room by some of his players.
Well, it seems to be that some of those players who are still on the team with Payton now at the helm feel similarly about the former New Orleans Saints' head coach. Here's the thing though; the coaching styles of Fangio and Payton is precisely what this team needs. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that those who have a problem with the way Payton is coaching and running this team should not be on the roster in the first place.
Both Payton and Fangio have objectively been pretty successful in the NFL as coaches. Payton is a Super Bowl-winning head coach with over 150 career games won. Fangio is largely seen as a premier defensive mind and an excellent DC. You'll also notice that we really didn't hear much of this when Vance Joseph and Nathaniel Hackett were head coaches of the Broncos.
Both Joseph and Hackett are seen as players' coaches. Hackett specifically almost seemed to be more of a friend than a coach, and both Joseph and Hackett were disasters in Denver. To me, the type of personality that Vic Fangio and Sean Payton have as coaches is exactly what the Broncos need, and frankly, I personally want players on my favorite team who want to play for Sean Payton.
Back on Fangio for a second; he was easily this team's best coach since Gary Kubiak stepped down. The 2019 and 2021 Denver Broncos were two very disciplined teams who were a few bounces here and there away from making the playoffs as a Wild Card team.
In 2019, Denver finished the year 7-9. They started the year 0-4 and proceeded to go 7-5 in their remaining 12 contests. They had the 10th-ranked defenses in the NFL and a stretch of going 4-1 over the last five games. They also committed the 14th-least penalties in the NFL that year, and that's been a huge sore spot for recent Bronco teams.
In 2021, the Denver Broncos were actually a pretty solid team. I'd argue the 2021 team was the best squad since the Super Bowl 50 team back in 2015. In 2021, Denver had the 23rd-best scoring offense but did have the 3rd-best scoring defense. They had a positive point differential, committed the 4th-least penalties, and had EIGHT seperate weeks during the season when their record was above .500. They were 7-6 going into a Week 15 game versus the Cincinnati Bengals, the AFC Super Bowl team that year.
The Denver Broncos also had six wins that year of at least two scores, so they were blowing out opponents regularly. You see, the players who complain that Sean Payton is just "Vic 2.0" as Su'a Cravens noted in his tweet are simply complaining about good coaching, and frankly, they shouldn't be on the roster.

Read and Download Jennifer Ackerman book Ah-Choo! in PDF, EPub, Mobi, Kindle online. Free book TAh-Choo!. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 256 pages. Book excerpt: Some colds are like mice, timid and annoying; others like dragons, accompanied by body aches and deep misery. In AH-CHOO!, Jennifer Ackerman explains what, exactly, a cold is, how it works, and whether it's really possible to "fight one off." Scientists call this the Golden Age of the Common Cold because Americans suffer up to a billion colds each year, resulting in 40 million days of missed work and school and 100 million doctor visits. They've also learned over the past decade much more about what cold viruses are, what they do to the human body, and how symptoms can be addressed. In this ode to the odious cold, Ackerman sifts through the chatter about treatments-what works, what doesn't, and what can't hurt. She dispels myths, such as susceptibility to colds reflects a weakened immune system. And she tracks current research, including work at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, a world-renowned center of cold research studies, where the search for a cure continues.

Written with an exaggerated sense of earnestness and caution, the eighteen tales in this collection elicit in the reader the very goosebumps of terror she had herself experienced as a child listening to such tales. As an adult, these goosebumps persist for her. However, they no longer arise from fear, but from a sense of awe and mystery that she feels when she considers this large existential question: Despite our extensive scientific knowledge today, what do we know of the supernatural? What can we know of the supernatural? Catherine’s deep and abiding sense of mystery is reflected in the pronouncement by one of her characters in the last story in this collection: “I don't know, I don't know. I wish I did.”

Book excerpt: A Place in Politics is a thorough reinterpretation of the politics and political culture of the Brazilian state of São Paulo between the 1890s and the 1930s. The world’s foremost coffee-producing region from the outset of this period and home to more than six million people by 1930, São Paulo was an economic and demographic giant. In an era marked by political conflict and dramatic social and cultural change in Brazil, nowhere were the conflicts as intense or changes more dramatic than in São Paulo. The southeastern state was the site of the country’s most important political developments, from the contested presidential campaign of 1909–10 to the massive military revolt of 1924. Drawing on a wide array of source materials, James P. Woodard analyzes these events and the republican political culture that informed them. Woodard’s fine-grained political history proceeds chronologically from the final years of the nineteenth century, when São Paulo’s leaders enjoyed political preeminence within the federal system codified by the Constitution of 1891, through the mass mobilization of 1931–32, in which São Paulo’s people marched, rioted, and eventually took up arms against the national government in what was to be Brazil’s last great regionalist revolt. In taking to the streets in the name of their state, constitutionalism, and the “civilization” that they identified with both, the people of São Paulo were at once expressing their allegiance to elements of a regionally distinct political culture and converging on a broader, more participatory public sphere that had arisen amid the political conflicts of the preceding decades.

Higher taxes for a smoother commute? Metro Atlanta votes today.
Voters in metro Atlanta, where traffic congestion is notorious, go to the polls Tuesday to decide whether to tax themselves for a major infrastructure upgrade. Some say city's future is at stake, but tea partyers distrust money will be wisely spent.
Just think about it: shiny new German-built streetcars zipping through a walkable midtown. And improved interchanges to clear up some of the worst bottlenecks in one of America’s most traffic-snarled cities. And a once-in-a-lifetime chance to add some transit sex appeal to a fading Southern behemoth fighting tooth and nail with Charlotte, N.C., and Houston for supremacy in business boosterism.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Yes, the bid to “untie Atlanta” is a bold one, an unprecedented coming-together of 10 metro counties to propose to area voters an increase in the sales-tax rate of one cent for 10 years, with the money to be used to fund 157 traffic-friendly projects ranging from road improvements to upgrades of the airport control tower.
But as voters go to the polls Tuesday, the push for metro Atlantans to tax themselves to buy a $7.2 billion infrastructure upgrade has become as bogged down as the morning commute on the dreaded downtown “Connector.”
If the Transportation Investment Act passes, supporters say it would be a historic moment, akin to the city becoming the host of the 1996 Olympics or building Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport into one of the world’s busiest. The binding referendum is, some say, a make-or-break moment for a city teetering on decline, and it has the strong backing of the local Chamber of Commerce.
The big question is whether the tea-party-laced suburbs and exurbs will buy into a new vision for the Phoenix City – or will chalk up the plan to political tomfoolery.
If the tax fails, it’ll show that “the folks that voted it down, in the outer counties, are firmly committed to keeping Atlanta in the 1980s,” says Christopher Lineberger, a downtown development expert at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution, in Washington. “I think they will be shocked that they’re going to be left behind … by competitors like Charlotte and Dallas and Houston and Phoenix, and Denver, and Salt Lake City – towns that are not exactly coastal bastions of liberalism that are lapping metro Atlanta right now. Those competitors have made the decisions to tax themselves to [provide transportation options], and if Atlanta does not choose to tax itself, well, your economic competitors will thank you.”
Pre-voting-day polls show the ballot measure headed for a narrow defeat. At the heart of the opposition is tea-party-fueled distrust of Georgia politicians, who have been known to be careless with new spigots of taxpayer cash. Tea party groups have pointed to the failure in 2010 of former Gov. Sonny Perdue, for example, to uphold a promise to shut down a toll booth on a major connector road. And when current Gov. Nathan Deal ordered the toll booth shut ahead of the Tuesday vote, the concession backfired, seen instead by many conservatives as crass political manipulation.

She said she comes from a line of black women and her daughter will also be a black woman, adding:
“My mother is an incredible example of how to fight through obstacles in life. I’m sure her mom taught her that and that’s how I’m going to be. We are impeccable, we’re special and the world is going to have to deal with that.”

The McDowell Titans junior varsity basketball team had a slow beginning to Friday afternoon’s contest against West Caldwell but it didn’t last that way.
A very strong surge in the second half did the Warriors in as McDowell cruised away to 70-40 win.
A total of 13 McDowell players scored in the game with a pair that came up in double figures. Freshman Trent Lewis scored 12 points and gathered 12 rebounds to lead the charge. Qualique Garner added 11 points to the mix.
Tyler Rector and Seth Harrison had eight points each and Jalen Robbins scored six points. Michael Queen netted four points off the bench, Colby Effler scored three points and Dequan Boyce along with Richard Handy (6 rebounds, 4 assists), Johnathan Ramirez, Dylan Aldridge and Dezmond Loftis finished with two points apiece.
McDowell was squared even with West Caldwell 13-13 after one quarter and still had only a modest 31-22 advantage going into halftime. It was in the second half where the Titans dominated things, outscoring the Warriors 39-18.
McDowell returns to action on Tuesday hosting rival Freedom (4 p.m. jayvee girls start).

The Ritual Trance Dance is a contemporary technique of a sacred ritual inspired by shamanic traditions, where movement and vibration guide us in a magical reunion with our inner world, allowing us to explore new realities and new perspectives. In this session we never inform the duration of the same, as we don’t want your mind to be controlling time. Let it flow, surrender to the experience.
- Increases individual awareness indices;
- Increases confidence and strengthens personal power;
- Energy and vitality;
- Feeling of joy and ecstasy;
- Facilitates self-discovery;
- Promotes greater physical and emotional resistance.
We open the session with an introduction and explanation of the Ritual, which contains various aspects to be taken into account, such as safety, breathing, etc. A specific Musical Set follows, to work each chakra, where the rhythm with free movement plays a preponderant role.
Live instruments are also played during the ritual by the caring team. Ângelo Surinder’s personal touch is highlighted by the use of gongs during the ritual.
At the end of the Ritual, the experience is integrated, with relaxation and then we open the space for sharing experiences.

The ambassador to Peru, Carlos Scull, reported that the diplomatic headquarters held days of legal procedures in the city of Tacna.
“The embassy in Peru is holding a new attention day for Venezuelan migrants so that they can regularize in Peru,” he said.
Scull reported that during his visit he met with the Chilean consul in that entity, Alejandro Gibbins, in order to discuss the Venezuelan migration crisis.
“We talked about the immigration situation in the border region and the need for more information for Venezuelans about visa procedures,” he said.
This Friday in Tacna, the Venezuelan diplomat visited the border of Peru and Chile where he held a meeting with Percy Fernando Pisfil Gonzales, Tacna area chief of the Superintendency of Migration, to get to know first-hand the facts and the migratory process of the border crossing between both countries.

Participatory Housing Budgets
In 2017, The Paris City Council's public housing company, the RIVP (la Régie Immobilière de la Ville de Paris) launched its participatory budgeting portal using the Consul Democracy software.
The portal, called "Budget Participatif de la RIVP", aimed to open participatory budgeting processes around the social housing they manage, in order to be closer to tenants, initiate new forms of exchange and better meet their expectations.
The Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, had been inspired by the success of the Decide Madrid project by the Madrid municipality and looked for ways to implement something similar in Paris.
She said that "participatory budgets are one of the greatest advances made by citizens in Madrid (...). Both the people of Madrid and the people of Paris decide on the future of their city".
Back in 2017, the Madrid team for Citizen Participation, Transparency and Open Government has an Institutional Outreach Unit had been promoting the Consul Democracy software to other municipalities, universities and institutions, and offering advice and knowledge for developing their own digital participation platforms.
Tenants for quality of life
On 24 March 2017, "Budget Participatif de la RIVP" was launched as a collaborative online platform aimed at the active involvement of tenants living in the RIVP's properties.
In this first year, a participatory budgeting process was launched for ten groups of properties. It gave tenants the opportunity to get involved in the development of their property by proposing projects, supporting those of their neighbours and voting for the projects of their choice. The chosen projects were implemented with RIVP's financial support.
The themes on which tenants made their proposals were:
Quality of life
Environmental projects and cleaning actions
Social projects against uncivic behaviour
Mutual assistance networks
Mobile equipment for books, CDs, magazines
The phases of the participatory process were as follows. First tenants could propose, enrich and support ideas, through the study of the projects by an ad-hoc commission. Then a voting phase happened where votes were cast through the platform or on paper. Finally, selected projects were implemented by the RIVP.
What is the RIVP?
RIVP is a social rental company that builds, refurbishes and manages housing, student residences, shops and offices for start-ups and innovative companies. It is a local mixed-economy company, 70.74% of whose capital is held by the City of Paris and the rest by other companies and banks.
RIVP was created in 1923 by the Paris City Council to remedy the housing shortage by building, managing and maintaining flats. Today, it has nearly 60,000 housing units (dwellings and homes), 91% of which are located in the city of Paris and the rest in the suburbs.

Spent the last week down in Matunuck as friends were moving out of their rentals and the summer residents began moving back in. It was mostly to give myself a bit of a break from the number of projects I've taken on recently, sit out on the front lawn with my boyfriend, get some sun, and prepare for the summer months. I still brought my camera (of course), and went to sit on the beach one late afternoon as fog rolled in and the air quickly cooled. There was a bit of swell and of course some surfers out on the water to greet it! I also was playing around with my newest lens, the Nikkor 16-35mm VR, and just enjoying the beach. I grabbed a few shots I wanted to share and hope you all enjoy them as well!
Oh, and by the way, had a surf lesson down at Narragansett Beach on Sunday and it was a blast! It wasn't my first time out on a board, third time actually, but it'd been about 6 years since I gave it a try so I figured I was overdue. There wasn't much surf on Sunday, but enough to give my classmate and I a workout! Hour and a half of constant paddling out, small surf in, paddling out, small surf in... Ton of thanks to my awesome instructor Conrad, and my cheering squad, aka the 12-or-so-year-old-girl out surfing too :). It was a whole lot of fun and I definitely plan on doing it again! And of course it brings newfound appreciation and admiration for all of the talented guys I'm trying to snap pictures of out on the water.

text: The book of Revelation contains some of the most cryptic language and most fanciful imagery in the entire Bible. It has been used to try to forecast events of the end times, as well as to call hopeless Christians to fortitude and endurance. Exploring its themes during this continued season of Easter as a guide to experiencing the resurrected life draws us to particular contemporary applications. John’s vision allows us to see the world, the church and the Christian life in the way God envisions it; not for how it is, but for how it can be. Each week, through the power of the one who makes all things new, we will explore how to make those possibilities a resurrection reality.

*ONE: Can Denny Hamlin get back to his winning ways at Texas?*
To say the season so far has been a nightmare for Denny Hamlin is a huge understatement. Last year, Hamlin was the most dominant driver on the circuit, winning eight races, only to come up short in the championship hunt to Jimmie Johnson. But toward the end of the season, there was trouble brewing in the world of Joe Gibbs Racing. After the team’s win at Texas, Mike Ford foolishly tried to play head games with Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 Lowe’s Home Improvement crew, while poor fuel mileage cost Hamlin a huge points swing at Phoenix that, instead of possibly clinching a championship, would end up being the harbinger of sorrow and despair for Hamlin at Homestead.
The 2011 season started off on the wrong foot for Hamlin when there was a fire at the Joe Gibbs Racing engine dyno shop. Since then, there have been a myriad of pit road and mechanical issues, along with incidents not of Hamlin’s doing. And perhaps worst of all? The harmony between Mike Ford and Denny Hamlin seems to be shattered. While a win at Texas would certainly go a long way in repairing the strained relationship between Hamlin and Ford, at this stage, the team is in such a state of emergency that just getting a top 10 would be an accomplishment for Hamlin and company. While, yes, they’re staring down the barrel of having to rely on wins to even get them in the Chase, the team probably needs to just worry about having one race without anything going wrong instead of a victory…because a win might be too much to ask from them at the moment.
*TWO: Will Kyle Busch be able to close the deal this week?*
So close, yet so far has been the theme to Kyle Busch’s 2011 Sprint Cup Series campaign. In addition to his impressive Bristol weekend, he has had the dominant car at Phoenix, California, and Martinsville, only to lose in the closing laps. Love him or hate him, one cannot deny the fact that Kyle Busch, to date in the 2011 season, has shown more signs of maturity than in the past. In recent years, when a race slipped away from him, he pitched conniption fits worthy of a toddler. But this year, he has remained relatively calm, which leads to a pair of underlying questions with Kyle. First, can he keep his composure all season and two, if and/or when his next meltdown happens, will we see him go back into “Kyle Smash” mode?
Both of those questions remain to be answered, but as far as Kyle closing the deal goes, eventually he’s going to be able to dominate a race from start to finish this season and not get passed in the late stages. The real question fans have to wonder would be is Kyle using up his equipment too early in races, leaving himself vulnerable for these late-race passes? That question begs a definite answer, as he has said his car has gone away in those situations, so could he be using his best stuff up too soon? But back on the burning question, if Kyle can save his best stuff for the end of the race, there is no reason that he can’t win…meaing he and DW’s nauseating “bro-mance” could get more annoying at Texas.
*THREE: Can Kevin Harvick win three races in a row in the closing laps?*
In recent weeks, Kevin Harvick has become the best closer in sports this side of Mariano Rivera. To win on the last lap at his home track in California and win with four laps to go at Martinsville, in addition to his impressive last-lap charge in the Talladega spring race last year, has more than cemented his reputation as the best closer in NASCAR. This week again, the big burning question is can he do it again?
It’s certainly not out of the question, as Harvick has had success before at Atlanta, a track very similar to Texas in many ways, both in length and shape. But might it be too much to ask out of Harvick to win another race in the closing laps? Eventually, even the best closers in any sport aren’t always able to close the deal and after the drama of the last couple of weeks, it is going to be extremely difficult for Harvick to top his late-race heroics at California and Martinsville. Can he do it? He very well could. How is he going to top himself? Now that, Frontstretch readers, is the true million dollar question at the end of the day.
*FOUR: Will this be the week that Dale Earnhardt Jr. rediscovers victory lane?*
Last week may have been the first time long-suffering Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans have seen any kind of light at the end of the tunnel in terms of his long winless streak. In the late stages, Earnhardt Jr. overtook Kyle Busch for the lead and the Martinsville grandstands erupted with joy. Even Darrell Waltrip erupted in biased-ness in the FOX analysts booth. But with four laps to go, Kevin Harvick took the lead and won the race, leaving Junior’s fans to wonder what might have been.
Going into Texas, it’s starting to seem as if Junior and new crew chief Steve Letarte just might be the combination needed to get Rick Hendrick’s true cash cow back into victory lane. Letarte provides the type of calming influence for Junior that he hasn’t had since Tony Eury Sr. was his crew chief and Earnhardt Jr. has taken to it rather well with the results on track starting to show signs of chemistry. Junior’s in the top 10 in points for the first time since early last year and he’s been able to more consistently be up front. Plus, Junior has had success at mile and a half tracks in years past, so it’s not as if a win would be a foreign concept to him at a track like Texas.
But the underlying question is can Junior keep running consistently up front? That answer will be more apparent the later into the season it gets; don’t forget Earnhardt got off to a top 10 start last season. But 2011 has brought consistency so far to the No. 88 team. And that consistency, in the words of the great Charlie Sheen, will lead to, duh, winning!

Markets show early volatility but stay in green (Lead)September 22nd, 2008 - 1:47 pm ICT by IANS
Mumbai, Sep 22 (IANS) Indian equities markets opened strong Monday but showed volatility by going into the red zone within about 20 minutes of trading before recovering again to be in the green mid-morning.The 30-share benchmark sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) opened about 180 points or 1.28 percent higher and then dipped below its previous close Friday last week at 14,042.32 some 20 minutes into trading.
After one and a half hours of trading, however, the Sensex was at 14,082.38, up 40.06 points or 0.29 percent against its previous close last Friday.
The broader based 50-share S&P Nifty index of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) also showed a similar trend. It opened strong to shoot up by nearly 50 points or 1.17 percent against its previous close at 4,245.25 last Friday.
It then dipped below its previous close but recovered again to be at 4,258.35 mid-morning, up 13.1 points or 0.31 percent against its previous close last Friday.
The BSE mid cap index at 5,274.77 was also up 45.99 points or 0.88 percent against its previous close last Friday.
The BSE small cap index was at 6,274.45, gaining 58.46 or 0.94 percent over its previous close last Friday at 6,214.75.
The gains made by the mid cap and small cap indices besides the Sensex indicated that there was all round buying and the sentiment was positive, analysts said.

Write hard and clear about what hurts. Write hard and clear about what hurts. Write hard and clear about what hurts.
The mantra repeats over and over again in my head. I remind myself of it when I feel stuck. I remind myself tear-stained pages are okay. I remind myself I’m no less beautiful with mascara streaming down my face. That the hurt will be there until I leap fearlessly into its waiting arms. Until I dive in to face it, submerging myself completely like I do at the lake on the first warm enough day of the year. The hurt, the longing won’t go anywhere until I make it. I have to work fight. Acknowledge. Acknowledge. But with so much swirling around in my head, how do I figure out what hurts?
Write hard and clear about what hurts. Sometimes the words flow from my pen faster than I can keep up with them, and I bleed all over the page making as big a mess on my brand new, pristine notebook as I seem to do in life. Sometimes I can’t stop them from coming out. Sometimes I look at them against the yellowish white of my notebook and just think “shit.”Because the pen goes places I don’t allow my mind to wander. It sneaks its fine tip into the corners of my mind I refuse to go because I’m afraid what I may discover. The pen tells me more about my feelings than I tell it. It hits at the truth I’m always trying to over think, to over complicate. So I run from it, like I do everything else. Because that’s all I know how to do. I find the loving touch of another escape, a favorite distraction. One that seems easier even if it’s not without it’s own complications. One that ignites a part of me I thought was lost, washed away in the mundane aspects of everyday life. One that masks the pain, even just for a little while.
Sometimes you just have to make a damn mess out of everything to figure out what the hell you want. And sometimes you look around at what you’ve done, and you still don’t know.
Write hard and clear about what hurts. But what if nothing is clear? Make it clear. Let the words fall out of you until you have no more. Face it. Feel it. You can mask the hurt. You can build this place where you think everything could be okay, but if it isn’t based on truth, it will crumble. Then what am I left with? Someone new to blame the hurt on? The hurt was there long before anyone else.
Write hard and clear about what hurts. I repeat it. Over. and over. and over. and over. and over again. But I don’t want the pen to find the things I’m hiding. I don’t want to know the truth. It’s easier to keep running. Keep pretending. Sometimes I put the pen to paper and nothing comes out because I’ve built a fortress around those parts of my brain. Because telling yourself you don’t know what you want is easier than chasing what you want.
Sometimes you have to make a mess. I have this way about me of making things bigger than they are. Of needing everything to be catastrophic or romantically beautiful. I have this way of loving people harder than they could ever love me in return, whether that be romantically, friendship or family. I’ve been told I’m oversensitive. That I give love too easily to too many people who don’t deserve it. That’s probably true, but what’s wrong with loving with all you have? Maybe we need more of that.
That being said, some things are just things. Some things just happen and they aren’t any more than what they are on the surface: ill-advised choices fueled by some combination of alcohol, fear and a general discontent. Things can happen and then go back to how they were before because it isn’t that big of a deal anyhow. They just are. People come and go, and I need to learn to let them. They’ll come back if it’s meant to be. It’ll happen if it’s meant to, so someone once told me. And so right they were. So why can’t I apply that here? Because I’m not one to let things be, but it’d do me good to learn to.
I think a part of me will always think “what if, what if, what if” about a lot of things. But where has that ever gotten anyone?
Write hard and clear about what hurts. My pen hovers over the page, eager to bleed. Thoughts race through my head, but none of them come out. Something hurts, but it’s not clear what.

We think that only symbyosis of great food, speciality coffee and natural wines can arrange perfect epicurian experience.
Our Chef Michal Černý with his team will prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner in a way the taste is the key.
That combined with refinement, sophistication and simplicity at the same time are the most important variables.
Speciality coffees prepared either classic or alternative method, same as natural wines by enlightened winemakers are inseparable part of this equation.
The chef Michal Černý (1989) made first work stops at the Cyprus island, Hotel Intercontinental and Ristorante Prosecco. Afterwards he had left for apprenticeship and experience to London, where he had worked in the following venues, Pied à Terre (1* Michelin), L’Autre Pied (1* Michelin), Angler (1* Michelin) and The Ledbury (2* Michelin). After returning back to Prague him and his wife Zuzka opened in 2014 soon well known restaurant Story. Unfortunately after 3 years of operatian they closed it down because of their newly born daughter Dorka. Lucky for us then since we can have this young progressive chef in our team starting December 2017.

Whimsy Spot was created by Alexa Shoemaker Brooks in 2010. But her love of paper began with bookbinding and printmaking many years before that. Then, work in the theater and studies in graphic design generated a desire to tell stories visually. All this combined with a lifelong love of the animal kingdom to make what Whimsy Spot is today. Alexa lives in Santa Cruz with her husband and two young children.

On Thursday, 11 September, during the burning of illicit drugs worth
N300m by the Kano State government, the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, disclosed that a village head in the state had been dethroned for using illicit drugs.
He said, “We have deposed a village head who was found consuming illicit drugs. We took the decision because as a traditional ruler, he should be a role model to others and not to be promoting ills in the society.”
The Emir, however, failed to reveal the name of the deposed village head, but added that any traditional ruler or district head found guilty of ‘criminal acts’ would be similarly deposed.
“We are urging the state government to take similar measures against government officials who are in the habit of consuming drugs, because leaders are supposed to be role models and not the other way round.”
“We are advocating the enactment of laws that would protect the rights of women including right to education. We are in a situation where divorce cases have became so rampant that they are threatening family institution. Laws that would recommend stiffer penalty for anybody who divorces his wife without any genuine reason should be put in place,” he added.
This is not the first time a village head would be deposed in the state. In August, the Emir had also dethroned the village head of Mumai in Kunci Local Government Area over drug abuse and other related offences.

Katy Perry channels her inner Cleopatra in the Egyptian-themed music video for "Dark Horse". The Dr. Luke & Max Martin co-produced urban-pop song is the official third single from the pop singer's latest, platinum-selling album "Prism".
Capitol simply do not play when it comes to Katy Perry music videos. We're in the era of VEVO and video streams, so a great music video with a theme is key to attract views and Capitol knows this. The "Dark Horse" video is perhaps the best visual work Katy Perry has done in her career thus far. It's so high-budget, glossy, hilarious and you just want to watch it again and again. It doesn't really make much sense with the song lyrics but whatever.
Scenes in "Dark Horse" music video include Katy Pätra spreading her wings, sitting on her throne and using blasting super powers. Juicy J makes a cameo to perform his rap verse while Katy works the pole with her cat-faced slaves.

Working alongside my partner, we are a two person photography team. We fell in love during a photo shoot and haven't stopped taking photos together since! We are extremely passionate about our work, and never approach any wedding with the aim to simply take photos, but instead with a deep and true drive to create something meaningful. Expect us to be constantly searching, planning, and creating together on your wedding day. We embrace the idea of our path as photographers being an ever evolving one, a path where we are both constantly learning and striving to improve. This means that every wedding is new and different for us, and our artistic expression of any given day will vary depending on how we are compelled to show that history through our photographs and our artistic remastering of the final collection.
Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?
We live between Portland, Oregon and Puerto Rico, we are blessed to call both the Caribbean and the Pacific Northwest our home! We are available for travel to destinations around the world, for certain destinations a travel fee may apply.
How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?
I have been joyfully photographing weddings for over a decade. I've photographed more than 100 weddings as the main photographer.
Describe your "style" of wedding photography.
I shoot a combination of fine art and photojournalism on wedding day. I spend most of my time on wedding day doing photojournalism, photographing moments and trying to anticipate action and emotion. I also absolutely love creating stunning portraits of couples for me portraits should be an expression of both beauty and vulnerability.
What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?
The typical wedding package we offer is full day coverage with unlimited hours. We don't believe in working hourly on wedding day as we want to capture the complete story without having to worry about time. We also offer multiple day unlimited packages for our clients planning destination weddings or longer events.
Do you have a studio where we can meet? Do you use Skype?
Skype, call, txt or if we are in the same area we are happy to meet with you anywhere that makes sense :)
What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?
I studied photography at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Two Mann Studios Metanoia workshop in Canmore, CA
Joss & Tree Stuidos EVOLVE workshop in Portland, OR

Boise Weekly editorial staff is willing to do many things in the name of research. We have to admit we had no complaints about putting in a few extra hours when the assignment was testing the food at some of Boise's mobile eateries. But when our A&E editor and our editor stopped at Native Taters, a trailer in a parking lot, they were initially apprehensive. Though the editor has eaten unpronounceable (often unidentifiable) foods on several continents and the A&E editor has a VIP card at McDonald's, purchasing food from a place housed on the asphalt outside a smoke shop was a daring move for both of them. But one spoonful of the homemade baked potato soup--topped with sour cream, bacon, cheese and green onions--followed up by a chewy, melty bite of the beef Ortega sandwich and their fears were immediately assuaged. It's the kind of place that once people get past their own incredulity ("A trailer in the parking lot of a Tobacco Connection? Seriously?"), they're forever grateful for the recommendation.
