This new system provides a symmetric force spread while riding and is therefore very comfortable. The C-Bar is made out of fiber re-inforced injection material instead of metal, which makes it ultra lightweight.
A confirmation email is on the way.

Depending on your target audience and the products you sell, you can display your e-store on different marketplaces. This is an interesting way to automate your income. Indeed, selling on marketplaces will allow you to highlight your products. On Amazon for example, they are likely to be seen by nearly 29.7 million unique visitors per month.
How can marketplaces help you automate your income?
Do you want to attract as many consumers as possible and sell your products better? The marketplaces offer the best business opportunities with their exponential traffic. By way of illustration, Leboncoin records no less than 10 million unique visitors per month. This market place is thus in the top 10 of the most visited sites in France.
Concretely, you are no longer going to be satisfied with just using your own site to automate your income. The marketplaces ensure better visibility to items you sell.
Most of the work takes place at the time of registration. Your turnover will increase quickly if your products are well valued. Work well on the product titles and descriptions. Take the time to study & analyze your competition. This will allow you to better adjust your prices and set favorable conditions of your sale.
So, all you have to do is take the marketplace's advantages to automate your income. Not only, you have various marketing tools to boost your sales, consumers will also be able to leave reviews and increase your brand awareness.
How to sell well on marketplaces in order to automate your income?
Selling on marketplaces has considerable advantages. Here's how you can automate your income by selling on marketplaces.
Use marketplace management software
To save time and avoid tedious tasks, use management software. In this way, you can reduce errors and optimize your business. For example, you can use the C2 Soft software, or even entrust the management of your store to an experienced team. C2 Corner will take care of developing your business online.
Adopt a good pricing strategy
To sell on marketplaces, you must also learn to manage competition. Study their prices and adjust yours to stay in the market. To do this, you can use tariff adjustment software. Also, remember to organize promotions from time to time.
Note that it is not always necessary to sell at a low price. With a good pricing system, buyers will become loyal customers, which will help automate your income.
Which marketplace to choose to automate your income?
When choosing marketplaces, opt for those that offer prices that meet your budget. There is no need to register on all the marketplaces you find. Focus on those likely to interest your target customers. Amazon for example accepts all types of products for a monthly subscription of 39 euros.
If you sell household items or appliances, Fnac may be right for you. The monthly subscription to this marketplace costs 39.9 euros excluding tax. Rather generalist and main competitor of Amazon, Cdiscount also offers the same price. For their part, ManoMano specializes in DIY while Zalando mainly focuses on fashion items.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama promised at White House on Wednesday that his hometown Chicago would make the world proud if the city host the 2016 Summer Games.
"Americans, like Chicagoans, -- we don't like to make small plans. We want to dreams big and reach high. We hope deeply. We want these games. And if you choose Chicago, I promise you this: Chicago will make America proud, and America will make the world proud." Obama said.
"Chicago is ready. The American people are ready," he added.
He was joined by first lady Michelle Obama, who will be his ambassador to Copenhagen when the Oct. 2 vote of the International Olympic Committee takes place. One of four finalist cities will get the games: Chicago, Madrid, Tokyo or Rio de Janeiro.
Chicago is in a tough competition with the other three cities. In recent years, heads of state have traveled to the IOC meetings to help seal the deal, such as Tony Blair for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and Vladimir Putin for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
"I would make the case in Copenhagen personally," were it not for his quest for health care reform, Obama said. "But the good news is I'm sending a more compelling superstar to represent the city and country we love, and that is our first lady, Michelle Obama."
The Obamas were joined by a host of Olympic athletes and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. Obama staged an Olympic rally and showed his fencing movement while some of the athletes staged exhibitions on the South Lawn.

A new patrol boat has been launched in the Exe Estuary to help protect wildlife and ensure water users stay safe.
A 5.75metre long patrol boat has been funded by the South East Devon Habitat Regulations Executive Committee (SEDHREC) - a partnership of Teignbridge, Exeter and East Devon Councils, set up to help protect internationally important conservation sites on the Exe Estuary, Dawlish Warren and East Devon's Pebblebed Heaths. Bought from a local business, the £27,000 boat was paid for with money from developers of new housing across the three council areas.
Working in close partnership with the Harbour Authority, the patrol boat will be piloted on the estuary by SEDHREC’s Habitat Mitigation Officers to make sure the Estuary is a safe place for everyone to enjoy. Sama Euridge and Amelia Davies will give advice to users to help them be aware of updated codes of conduct and two new wildlife refuges in the Exe Estuary, effective from 15 September 2018. These important areas for wildlife were approved by SEDHREC in October 2017.
Sama Euridge, Habitat Mitigation Officer, said:
We’re really looking forward to being out on the river and talking to water users about the conservation designations and protected species we have here. The Exe Estuary is an incredible place. We want to see everyone sharing this space safely, with respect for the wildlife that lives here and the habitat on which it depends.
The new wildlife refuges have been designated to help people identify areas that are particularly sensitive for our overwintering and resident bird populations, so they may avoid them and let the birds roost, feed and nest in peace. We have seen declines in some of our most iconic Exe species in recent years, so hopefully these additional measures will help populations stabilise and ensure the Exe remains a wildlife haven into the future.
Amelia Davies, Habitat Mitigation Officer, said:
The estuary is hugely popular with visitors and locals alike. Many of the visitors won’t be aware of the new wildlife refuges, so our job is to help them understand where they are and what they mean.
We’re asking all regular users and local groups to help us spread the word about the updated codes of conduct and the new wildlife refuges. The wildlife refuges are marked by yellow mark buoys denoted with a ‘WR’. If you see these while out on the water, please avoid these critical resting and feeding areas, as long as it is safe to do so.
The patrol boat and wildlife refuges are just some of the measures SEDHREC are implementing to preserve highly protected areas in light of increased recreational pressure from a growing population locally. In addition, new interpretation boards are being installed around the Exe Estuary and updated codes of conduct for the wide variety of people using the Exe are available on the Exe Estuary website

A barbecue tradition that runs deep
One of northern Douglas County’s most well-established restaurants happens to have the least amount of frills.
Hickory House, at South Parker Road and Mountain Man Drive, has been the go-to place for casual meals and special occasions for scores of Parker residents for nearly 20 years.
Aside from prime visibility due to its high-traffic location, referral business has driven much of Hickory House’s success. The eatery’s adherence to tradition is easily its most appreciated asset. As any fan of hearty barbecue would attest, it’s best to focus on the faves, the tried-and-trues, and Hickory House does just that. Its menu was recently reformatted to make it easier to read, but its contents have been largely left intact since the restaurant’s inception. Staples include meaty, fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy BBQ chicken breasts, mind-melting beef briskets and succulent smoked sausages.
Sweet potato tots, fried pickles and wings served with an assortment of sauces of varied flavor profiles and levels of heat round out the appetizer menu. The list of sides leaves little else to be desired; all of the mainstays are there, from cornbread muffins and au gratin potatoes to garlic toast and, of course, baked beans and potato salad.
For those with larger appetites, there are entrees like the well-marbled, 14-oz. Cowboy Rib Eye. You can even order it with a heaping helping of fried catfish. There’s also The Hickory, an Angus burger topped with bacon, Swiss cheese and BBQ sauce, and The Beast, a massive pulled pork or brisket sandwich with coleslaw and fries.
Customers can choose from an array of “giant” salads that can be topped with smoked salmon, filet mignon or the spicy vegan burger, which is made with black beans, brown rice, onions, peppers and corn. And no one can go wrong with the homemade mac-and-cheese with Cavatappi noodles and featuring either smoked pork, smoked beef or jalapeno cheddar sausage.
If there’s somehow still room for dessert, it’s worth exploring any of the offerings, like milkshakes, the skillet sundae cookie and three delicious and devilish selections from a Parker bakery called Posh Pastries: chocolate cake, banana cream pie and apple cobbler.
If reading about it makes you hungry, just wait until the aroma that blends all of the aforementioned into one heavenly essence greets you at the door. It’s simply a scent to behold, one reminiscent of summer gatherings around the grill.
Jerimiah Goins, general manager of Hickory House, said owner Paul Dioguardi brought his knack for crafting memorable barbecue dishes when he moved from Chicago and opened the restaurant in Aspen more than 20 years ago. The Aspen location became such a big hit that Dioguardi decided to open a second one in Parker, where he had family. Both restaurants received a sizable bump in business when the Aspen location was spotlighted on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, a popular show on the Food Network.
The ample decor at Hickory House is a mashup of old advertising placards from iconic brands, sports memorabilia, western knickknacks and uber-Colorado representations in the form of things like a sign warning of avalanche blasting. In the back of the restaurant, among the oasis of wall-hangings and a mounted plush bear depicting the restaurant’s mascot, Hickory, is a cozy bar that seems a great place to strike up conversation with a stranger.
For special celebrations, the restaurant caters, but it also has a private room in the basement that can accommodate more than 60 guests. Some patrons who frequent Hickory House not only host parties, but they also usually come with a request.
“We have so many regulars at this place and a lot of them will ask for a specific server,” Goins said.
Five employees have been at Hickory House since its inception in 2004; others have worked there for 10-plus years, demonstrating that it’s a formidable outlier in today’s restaurant labor market.
“The food is obviously what brings people in, but the staff we have here is awesome,” Goins said. “They have fun while working. They take care of what they need to do, and they’re always happy and smiling.”

About the GCRF – Royal Academy of Engineering Grant
Despite steady economic growth nationally over the last 15 years a high percentage of the rural population in Peru (44% in 2017) continue to live in chronic poverty. The agricultural system in these rural areas has its foundations in pre-Hispanic cultural development, and transformation of the landscape and environment through sophisticated, highly organised engineering. However, the apparent lack of investment in properly engineered water management together with partial abandonment of formerly agriculturally productive land makes rural communities highly vulnerable to climate change. Climate change has seriously affected productivity of important staple crops, such as potato and maize, causing substantial annual agricultural losses. Growing insecurities over climate change are exacerbated by lower educational and economic opportunities in rural areas. We believe that the promotion of sustainable and resilient agricultural practices, utilising cultural and historical knowledge of social, economic and environmental interactions, will improve the quality of life, health and welfare of rural communities. To address this issue, our project has two main goals.
Goal 1. The improve knowledge and understanding of the challenges faced by rural farming communities living with climate change, the opportunities afforded through appropriate adaptive strategies, and the inherent resilience of people and mountain environments to natural shocks and disasters caused by climate variability. (Obj.1) Characterise the challenges and opportunities afforded by climate change for past and current communities practising traditional agriculture. (Obj.2) Evaluate the implications of the findings for future adaptive management strategies to enhance resilience to climate change, and assess the wider consequences for mountainous areas in Peru and other OECD-DAC countries.
Goal 2. To develop a framework that integrates agro-economic data with climate change scenarios and water and ecological resource quantification and analysis, and aims to reconcile competing approaches to building capacity for learning and adaptation in the Peruvian Andes. (Obj.1) Create an agro-economic model of local food systems from production to consumption to evaluate resilience and adaptive capacity. (Obj.2) Generate climate change scenarios from regional climate model experiments and statistical downscaling to evaluate the impact on water availability for agro-ecosystems. (Obj.3) Measure the success and efficiency of past and current water management systems, and evaluate their impact on livestock and small-scale irrigation farming. (Obj.4) Measure the ecological (biodiversity) and hydrological (water storage) status of peatlands (bofedales), and evaluate the impact on livestock and small-scale irrigation farming. (Obj.5) Develop an agent-based model (ABM) to aid decision-makers to better understand and debate future adaptive management strategies.

This week's newsletter is written by Ron Nurwisah who prefers actual hikes to rate hikes.
They finally did it. After seven years, the Bank of Canada raised its rates to 0.75%. So what now?
HuffPost Canada business editor Daniel Tencer outlined what the rate hike could mean for most Canadians. If you're carrying debt in the form of variable-rate mortgages or lines of credit, the next few weeks would be a good time to review your finances to make sure that the new rates won't stretch your budget.
Some experts think that the rate hikes likely won't be the last, with a few predicting that the BoC could bump its rates to 1.5% by 2018. If this happens, then many more Canadians who find themselves already stretched with debt payments could find themselves in real trouble.
As for the housing market as a whole, higher interest rates will be another splash of water on the country's hotter housing markets. Royal LePage, one of Canada's biggest real estate companies, is predicting a softer market for the rest of 2017. "I believe what we'll see (in Toronto) is modest price increases but fewer homes being sold — not as a violent as the Vancouver correction where we saw 40 to 50 per cent of the transactions disappear," Royal LePage CEO Phil Soper told the Toronto Star.

Yering Station Winery is an old winery in Victoria, Australia. It is in the middle of the Yarra Valley. It is one of the oldest wineries in the area, having been started in 1838. It has helped the Yarra Valley become one of the best places to grow wine. The winery is on the banks of the Yarra River. It is surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful countryside.

The winery is committed to organic and sustainable farming methods. They do as little as possible in the vineyard and winery to let the grapes show who they really are.

The valley is located just outside of Melbourne, Victoria, and its temperate summers and chilly winters allow the grapes to ripen slowly and create unique flavors and aromas. Additionally, the valley is impacted by the adjacent Dandenong Ranges, which provide protection from coastal winds and assist to reduce the temperature.
The Yarra Valley has a variety of soil types, including volcanic and sandy loams, clay, and loam.

Sophia McCall to represent Team UK in the 2019 European Cyber Security Challenge
Congratulations to NCC Group junior security consultant, Sophia McCall (pictured front centre, above) who last week secured a place as part of Team UK in the Cyber Security Challenge UK qualifier event.
Rated second overall out of 40 participants in the challenge, Sophia was also appointed captain and will lead the 10-strong team as they head to Romania in October for the European challenge.
Sophia is currently on a 12-month internship with NCC Group before returning to Bournemouth University later this year to complete her final year of study.

“I’m very excited to be selected to be a part of Team UK this year. This is the third year in a row I have been selected to represent the UK. To be nominated as team captain is a massive achievement – and I’ll be sure to try and lead the team to victory. Taking part in the Cyber Security Challenge UK has been a fantastic experience, and I have learned so much. I’m looking forward to the European challenge in October, and hopefully Team UK can bring back the gold!”
Izzy Whistlecroft (pictured below), another junior security consultant at NCC Group who recently completed our Graduate training programme, also took part. While her team won, she wasn’t selected due to the stiff competition on similar skills. Izzy joined NCC Group as a result of participating in the event last year.

Recognising her skills and potential Izzy was approached by our talent scouts and has now been with us for six months: “Taking part in Cyber Security Challenge UK has led me to a new career in cyber and I’m loving it. The skills I’d shown during the competition were recognised as an alternative to a practical test during the NCC Group interview process so I would highly encourage people interested in a career in cyber security to take part.”
Colin Gillingham, NCC Group’s director of professional services adds: “We encourage our eligible security consultants to take part in competitions like this – it’s a great way for them to develop and show off the skills they’ve gained here at NCC Group. And as Izzy points out – our talent scouts are regularly at these events looking for people like Izzy to come and join us. We are immensely proud of both Izzy and Sophia for what they’ve achieved so far and we’ll be cheering on Team UK in October.”

Losing someone you love, then having to go back to work, can be an exhausting and disorienting transition. But for most of us, it is a necessity. What can make it even harder is any worries you might have about taking too much time off—either out of guilt, or because of pressure from your employer.
While companies and corporate America have gotten better about understanding the importance of their employees’ mental health, with some even offering paid mental health days, sometimes you still need to advocate for yourself.
There are several proactive things you can do now to make sure your workplace is a supportive environment that allows you to do your best work while getting time to grieve.
Have the bereavement leave talk as soon as possible
Grief experts suggest at least 20 days of bereavement leave when people have lost an immediate family member. Of course, virtually no U.S. workers have 20 days of paid bereavement leave. But it’s a number to keep in mind as you plan the months ahead to give yourself the space and time to heal whenever you can.
Schedule a meeting as soon as possible with your boss and your human resources rep to help you clarify your options: how many days your company provides in paid leave, whether you’ll want to take additional unpaid leave, and when you’ll be taking those days.
If your company does not offer paid bereavement leave at all, there may be something you can work out so you can have the time to grieve and not worry about the financial end of things. Discuss the possibility of an advance on your salary, for example, or working part-time for a while.
Ask for a more flexible schedule
When you do return to work, you may want to talk to your immediate boss about a more flexible schedule or days when you can work from home.
Although grief affects all of us differently, it still takes a physical and mental toll. Not being able to focus, sudden overwhelming emotions, and an inability to take care of one’s health are just some of the symptoms of grief.
Having the flexibility to work from home on days when the grief is too much to bear or being able to extend deadlines can really help.
Be honest with the people you work with closely
While you may not want to send out a memo to everyone in the company with the news, telling those you interact with most is something you definitely want to do.
You don’t need to get into details. Nor do you need to express the extent of your pain. But letting them know what you’re going through, so they know what to expect, can squash any confusion on their end.
The toll of grief can be intense and unpredictable—by communicating clearly from the start, everyone will understand that.
Going a step further, it’s a good idea to have someone on your team to advocate for you on days that you just can’t handle everything on your own. For some, communicating with a close colleague is easier than communicating with their boss.
Be clear about your boundaries
Whether it’s your boss or fellow co-workers, setting boundaries when you’re grieving is paramount. Let them know the best way they can be there for you.
Some people don’t like to be asked daily how they’re coping, while other people appreciate a daily check-in. As you go through the grieving process, you’ll come to realize what is best for you. Then you can let those around you know what is OK and not OK during this difficult time.
Although we all experience grief at some point in our lives, death and grieving are still taboo subjects that tend to make people uncomfortable.
Because of this, having boundaries isn’t just healthy for you, but can help those in your office to be there for you in a more meaningful way—and not fear that they’re not saying or doing the wrong thing.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
While not everyone in the office may be sympathetic to your grief or willing to go out of their way to make things easier, it’s still important to ask for help when you need it.
Depending on who you lost and that void in your life, functioning at full capacity may be months down the road—or it may never come back at all.
We don’t get over losing someone we love, nor do we move on. We move forward, we fulfill our responsibilities, and ultimately we engage with life fully again, but we are, in many ways, forever changed.
How this will affect your work remains to be seen, so asking for help when you need it should be something you learn to become comfortable with. It’s human to need people sometimes.
You may be eligible for free bereavement support. Empathy can help with everything from funeral planning to estate administration, with step-by-step guidance and real-time expert support. Many people get free premium access to Empathy as a benefit with their life insurance claim. We partner with New York Life, Guardian Life Insurance Company, Bestow, Lemonade, and other leading carriers. When you make your life insurance claim, talk to your representative about whether Empathy is a benefit they offer.
Finding professional help for grief
While grief is a normal and healthy response to loss, sometimes we need a bit of extra help coming to grips with what we are going through. Make sure to take the time and get the information you need to find the right provider for you.3 min read
Feeling numb after someone you love dies
After a loved one dies, you may experience a range of different emotions. Feeling numb is a common experience during grief—and just as “normal” as sadness and crying.4 min read
Dealing with crisis fatigue
Several weeks into the grieving process, some people experience what’s known as crisis fatigue—an acute drop in physical and emotional energy. This can be a shock, but it is a normal part of grieving.4 min read

Extraordinary scenes in Sri Lanka are the product of a man-made disaster | World News
The unprecedented events in Colombo were the result of more than three months of protests by ordinary Sri Lankans against the government, and especially President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
The Secretariat of the Presidential Palace, the center of government, was stormed by thousands of protesters. Many people with their country’s flag on them ran up the steps and into the iconic building.
The prime minister’s home was then set on fire by protesters, hours after he said he would step down. The president, under intense pressure to follow suit, did so near 11 p.m. local time.
Since morning, there have been clashes between protesters and security forces across Colombo.
Undaunted by tear gas, police firing into the air and water cannons, protesters gathered to march into the president’s home to force him out of office. Many people were reported injured.
Their patience wore off as they argued with the military, who tried to stop them.
With sheer numbers, drive, and determination, they made one final push and broke the layered police barrier out of their way.
They stormed into the fortified presidential home and walked unobstructed through the buildings’ gardens, corridors, and many rooms. As they moved around taking pictures and selfies, they warned their president to go.
And few people have not missed the opportunity to cool off by jumping into the swimming pool of one of the safest addresses in the country.
Mr Rajapaksa had previously been evacuated to an undisclosed location and it was reported he was transferred to a navy ship.
Temple Tree, the official residence of Prime Minister Ranil Wikremesinghe, was also not spared – this too was stormed.
In an emergency meeting, the prime minister agreed to step down to form an all-party government.
One lawyer, who did not wish to be identified, said: “For now, I think everyone’s fight is progressing successfully. And I wish all the best for the struggle and we will eventually. make a good change for our country.”
Sri Lanka’s 22 million people are facing its worst-ever economic crisis, sending prices soaring and causing shortages of food, medicine and fuel.
The deep-rooted economic crisis has remained unresolved for decades by successive governments.
The reckless and misguided economic policies of the Rajapaksa government have deepened the crisis.
Tax cuts, severe import restrictions, and a reluctance to implement prudent economic reforms have created a structural shortfall in the government’s economic policy.
With a severe balance of payments crisis, international agencies downgraded the country, further hindering foreign investment opportunities.
Tourism generates more than $4 billion a year, but the industry has been hit hard by the COVID pandemic.
To get over it in the short term, the government took on loan sharking that plunged the country into a debt trap.
The country is almost bankrupt because it has no foreign exchange reserves to buy important commodities.
It defaulted on $51 billion in foreign debt and is currently in talks for a $3 billion bailout with the International Monetary Fund.
However, the severity of the crisis is due to the fact that these loans may not be enough to get out of balance of payments problems any time when the current deficit is huge.
But for now, ordinary Sri Lankans will have to bear the brunt of the worst man-made disaster the country is witnessing.

(note: when I say "most" and "some" or "many" in this post I am referring to statistics that are gathered in countries where abortions are legal, and safe. It is not an assumption I am making and I am not projecting personal beliefs)
with great respect... there are several assumption by those who look at abortion as causing pain or death with intention to (or disregard for) causing pain.
In most cases, when a woman chooses to terminate a pregnancy she is doing it out of love either for the child she carries, or her other children. Most often a woman knows she cannot keep the unborn child safe and give him or her a good life. Sometimes she has other children, or hopes one day to have a safe environment in which to have her children, but having this child puts all of them at risk.
there is also an assumption that she walks away from that choice unchanged and unbothered. In truth she will make and re-make that decision every day for the rest of her life.
The child does not suffer, it knew only the perfect life in the womb. But the mother suffers every day the pain of not having the child to love. There is loss but not comfort from that loss. There is no end to the mourning because the woman sees herself as the agent of the child's death, and never as the grieving mother to be comforted.
most abortions are had by women who already have children and cannot feed one more without taking food from those she has. most women if they could find a way to feed and care for all of them would be willing to take food from her own mouth if she could keep this one too.
In this case, I see a woman who made a very brave choice to not bring a child into an unsafe environment. The child will be born into a different life, and did not suffer in this one. This child lived a perfect safe life in a blissful place. The second child also did not suffer, they both lived lovely experiences of floating warm and safe, never knowing hunger or pain.
You were trusted to bring a perfect experience of being carried in great love to two small beings who only had a tiny spark of life to live. You lovingly nurtured these children for every moment they had, and now they have returned. Perhaps they will be born at another time, perhaps this is all the consciousness they required. We are not made to understand all things, but we are here to understand love and how to protect a child. In both cases you did that.
You will be a wonderful mother. You sacrificed your own piece of mind to protect the first child from a dangerous life where he or she would not have been safe.
You did not hurt either child, you are the only being who suffered. But now you need to put away the pain and think only of the love. Your next child, whether it is born of your body or it arrives in your life from another womb, will need all of your love and attention. You cannot be consumed by the pain of the grief, it distracts you from bringing love.
whenever you feel the grief rising, think instead of the love you have for all of the children in the world.

With a career spanning 50 years, Bette Midler has been both a successful singer-songwriter and actress. The Divine Miss M is on tour again in 2015, with a schedule of concerts running from May to July. Don't miss out on seeing a Bette Midler concert. See below for upcoming tour dates and tickets.
|Current Tour:||It's the Girls|
|First Album:||The Divine Miss M (1972)|
Bette Davis Midler was born in 1945 in Honolulu, Hawaii. After graduating high school, she moved to New York City and won roles in Miss Nefertiti Regrets, Fiddler on the Roof, and other shows. As a young woman, Bathhouse Betty began singing in the Continental Baths at the Ansonia Hotel while Barry Manilow played the piano. Midler released her first album, The Divine Miss M, in 1972. With songs like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," the album won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Bette went on to create Some People's Lives, Thighs and Whispers, and other albums. She went on to grow in popularity with hits like "Mele Kalikimaka," "Miss Otis Regrets," and her cover of "Beast of Burden."
For her Hollywood debut, Midler starred as Mary Rose Foster in a 1978 film called The Rose. She won two Golden Globe Awards and an Oscar nomination for her performance, and the song "The Rose" reached #3 on the Billboard charts. In 1988, the actress played C.C. Bloom in Beaches, a movie about two best friends who meet "Under the Boardwalk" in Atlantic City. In addition to "Otto Titsling," the Beaches soundtrack included "Wind Beneath My Wings," one of Bette's most popular songs. Paramount Pictures released The First Wives Club in 1996, featuring the Divine Miss M, Diane Keaton, and Goldie Hawn as divorced women who plot revenge and sing "You Don't Own Me."
Along with singing and acting, the diva runs a charity called the New York Restoration Project, which plants gardens in New York City. But even at age 63, Bette Midler is the queen of show business, opening The Showgirl Must Go On at Caesar's Palace in 2008. The show received rave reviews and closed in early 2010.

Forget about the gripping noir atmospheres of their previous full lengths, with the new album the Milan combo escapes from planet earth and lands on their own satellite to write the perfect funk soundtrack of an imaginary sci-fi movie directed by Sergio Leone.
They've thrown away the balaclavas and embraced a bunch of synthesizers in their new installment where Calibro 35 explores fresh new territories.

|In this issue...
and this month Dr Ric reports about the recent ACNEM conference and writes about its theme of Environmental Influences on Health
- Winter is approaching, get your flu vaccine
- Nurse improvements
- Welcome new nurse Gabriella
- Nurse charges for some services
- New nurse uniforms
- Please speak clearly on voice mail
Haven't we enjoyed a warm autumn? Climate scientists forecast that May 2016 will be the hottest on record. Pictures of cars in Canada fleeing the forest fires were graphic reminders that global warming is here and will radically affect our lives and health in the future.
However as I write the weather has changed, and the cool winds and rain of winter have come and there is an increase in chest cough and colds. Are you prepared for winter maladies and the adverse effects they can bring, especially if you suffer from chronic disease?
FLU vaccinations are now available. If you haven't had one, consider booking an appointment with the nurse for a flu shot. Remember to dress warmly and use good hygiene practices - regular hand washing or hand sanitisers especially when visiting public places. Take a vitamin D supplement, use spice medicine, and add garlic to your food. Exercise frequently as this is preventative and will boost your immune system.
Nursing Team Update - we have had a number of changes in the nurse team. Maree is now taking the lead organisational role. Mary has a special interest in lifestyle management and insulin therapy. Ably assisted by Kate, Leonie and Lisa, she is actively encouraging those with obesity, prediabetes, diabetes and heart problems to become actively involved in their health: being positive in action, sleeping soundly, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly and enjoying living.
Nurse consultations for these and other chronic illnesses are free when enrolled in the At Risk Programme. It is a delight seeing patients succeed, improve their health and become more active in daily living.
Gabriella joined the nurse team last week and is also skilled in helping those with chronic and acute illness.
Nurse Charges. There is a nurse charge for liquid nitrogen therapy, ear syringing, travel advice and for those requesting specific information where extensive search time is taken. However nurse blood pressure readings at the clinic continue to be free.
New Nurse Uniforms. The nurses have chosen a new nurse uniform which they will start wearing shortly and I do hope this is to your liking.
Phone Messages. The practice nurses have asked if you could speak slowly and clearly, when leaving a phone message, as sometimes they have trouble deciphering the communication.

Theory and Practice of Brief Therapyby Simon H Budman
Synopses & Reviews
When U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam, they left behind thousands of young children fathered by American soldiers. The new regime regarded the Amerasians as children of the enemy and ostracized them from Vietnamese society.
The U.S. government passed the Homecoming Act of 1988, finally facilitating immigration of Amerasians to the United States. Now young adults, most who have emigrated have faced difficulty adjusting to a new culture and only about 2 percent have been reunited with their fathers. Revealing and often poignant, the 38 interviews here give voice to the struggle that Amerasians and their mothers faced in their homeland.
This classic work provides a richly textured overview of the "whys" and "hows" of brief therapy. The authors identify the central features of effective, time-limited interventions for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Taking a developmental approach to treatment, they explain how brief therapy can help at different times in a patient's life, as changes and transitions bring on new stresses and challenges. A practical framework is provided for selecting and screening patients, rapidly finding a focus for clinical work, and making optimal use of available time. Case examples and extensive transcripts are included to illustrate the use of strategies and techniques drawn from many different psychotherapy perspectives. Throughout, the focus is on creative and efficient ways to help patients build on existing strengths and make desired changes in their interactions with others.

Are you an owner of the SCCY CPX-3 but facing some issues with its performance?
If yes, then you’re not alone. Despite being a reliable and affordable firearm, the SCCY CPX-3 can still encounter some problems that must be addressed to maintain its top-notch performance.
But fret not, as we have covered you with this informative blog highlighting the common SCCY CPX-3 problems and their solutions.
Whether you are a seasoned gun owner or a newbie, this guide will provide valuable insights on tackling these issues and ensuring that your SCCY CPX-3 stays in tip-top shape. So, let’s dive in and explore the world of SCCY CPX-3 and its solutions!
Sccy CPX-3 Problems And Their Solutions
1. Failure to Feed
This is a common problem that various factors, such as improper loading or magazine issues, can cause. To properly fix the problem, it is important first to identify the root cause of the failure to feed.
Firstly, ensure that you are properly loading rounds into the magazine. Make sure that you are inserting each round so that the bullet end of the cartridge faces toward the back of the gun and not toward yourself or anyone else.
Additionally, ensure that all rounds are inserted firmly into place. If any cartridges appear loose or have fallen out, this could lead to feeding problems.
Next, inspect your magazine for any damage or wear and tear in case it has become damaged over time.
Examine your magazine’s springs and follower, as these components may need to be replaced if they have been damaged in some way, preventing them from pushing up on cartridges properly and allowing them to feed into the chamber.
Finally, ensure that all parts of your Sccy CPX-3 gun are clean and free of debris that may interfere with proper functioning.
2. Failure to Eject
FTE occurs when the empty shell casing is not ejected from the handgun’s chamber.
This can be dangerous, leading to an accidental discharge if another round is chambered without realizing a casing is still in the chamber.
So, what causes this issue, and how can it be fixed?
The FTE problem with Sccy CPX-3 guns is usually caused by weak extracts responsible for ejecting the empty shells after firing. If these parts are worn or damaged, they may not have enough energy to eject the casing fully.
Additionally, if there is too much carbon build-up in the chamber, it can create more friction and cause an obstruction that prevents proper extraction of spent casings.
Fortunately, there are some easy ways to fix this issue.
First and foremost, you should regularly clean your gun’s chamber and extractor components to remove any built-up debris or residue that could impede extraction performance.
Additionally, you can purchase stronger extract springs from a gunsmith or online store to increase extraction power and prevent FTEs in the future. Lastly, consider having a certified gunsmith inspect your weapon for further evaluation and repair if all else fails.
3. Trigger Pull Problems
Many users have reported that the trigger pull on their Sccy CPX-3 gun can sometimes be excessively heavy or sluggish, leading to a less-than-desirable shooting experience.
Fortunately, there are a few things that you can do to try and resolve this issue.
The most common cause of trigger pull issues is a faulty part in the trigger assembly or debris buildup at the contact points between the parts.
To fix this problem, it is important to ensure all trigger assembly components are intact and clean.
This includes cleaning any dust or debris inside the frame, especially around the hammer pinhole, where dirt and metal particles accumulate over time.
Additionally, if any parts in the assembly appear damaged or worn out, they should be replaced as soon as possible.
Once all components are clean and in good condition, it is also important to ensure they are properly adjusted for optimal performance.
Check that the spring tension is correct by slowly releasing pressure on each part of the assembly while reassembling to ensure proper alignment and operation.
Lastly, lubricating all moving parts with quality gun oil will help improve overall performance and reduce friction between surfaces for smoother operation of your Sccy CPX-3 gun’s trigger mechanism.
4. Recoil Spring Problems
Have you been experiencing problems with your Sccy CPX-3 gun? Are you having trouble firing consistently because of the recoil spring? If so, you’re not alone.
Recoil spring problems are a common issue among Sccy CPX-3 owners.
The recoil spring absorbs the energy from a round firing and returns the slide to its original position.
If it is too weak, the slide may not return to the battery quickly enough, resulting in jams and misfires. On the other hand, if it is too strong, the gun may become difficult to operate and cause premature wear on other parts.
Inspect your recoil spring for any signs of damage or wear to fix this issue.
It must be replaced if worn or damaged as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to check if any obstructions in the slide might prevent the proper functioning of the recoil spring.
Additionally, suppose your gun is still under warranty. In that case, you can consider taking advantage of it by returning it to an authorized service provider who can help repair or replace parts if needed.
Ultimately, maintaining a properly functioning recoil spring on your Sccy CPX-3 gun is essential for reliable performance and accurate shooting; therefore, regular inspection and maintenance should be done to ensure that all parts are functioning optimally at all times.
5. Failure to Fire
Failure to Fire problems are commonly caused by faulty ammunition or improper firearm maintenance. If the ammunition is not up to factory specifications or has become deformed over time, this can cause the firearm to malfunction.
Additionally, if the slide isn’t being kept clean and lubricated properly, this can also contribute to a Failure to the Fire situation.
The first step in resolving any Failure to Fire issue should be ensuring your ammunition is up to par. Inspect each round for signs of wear or damage before loading it into your gun; look for torn edges on the casing, dents or bulges in the bullet itself, etc.
If any rounds show signs of damage, replace them with fresh rounds from a reliable manufacturer.
In addition to examining your ammunition for potential issues, ensure you regularly clean and lubricate your Sccy CPX-3 gun according to factory specifications.
Cleaning excess dirt or powder buildup in the chamber can help reduce friction and ensure smoother slide operation during firing. Be sure to lubricate all moving parts after cleaning to reduce friction and extend their lifespan.
6. Slide Issues
A good first step might be disassembling your gun and thoroughly cleaning all components.
This includes wiping down all metal parts, polishing rough surfaces, and lubricating metal-to-metal contact points with quality gun oil.
Additionally, inspect the recoil spring for signs of wear, such as excessive flexing or cracks. If there are any signs of damage or fatigue, it should be replaced immediately.
Sometimes, the magazine release latch may have become bent or broken due to repeated use over time. If this is found to be the case, then it should be replaced by an authorized gunsmith.
Lastly, check that the slide rails are free from obstructions and debris, as these could prevent proper cycling of the slide assembly. Use compressed air or a cleaning brush to remove debris inside the frame rail channels if necessary.
SCCYCPX 3 vs Glock 42
There is much to consider when comparing the SCCY CPX-3 and the Glock 42. The SCCY CPX-3 is a double-action-only (DAO) semi-automatic 9mm pistol with an overall length of 6 inches and weighing 15 ounces when unloaded.
It features a 3.1-inch barrel, a 10+1 capacity magazine, and 2 10-round magazines included in the box. The trigger pull is approximately 6 pounds, which makes it a great choice for beginners who want something more manageable than larger pistols with heavier trigger pulls.
The Glock 42 is a subcompact .380 ACP pistol with an overall length of 5.94 inches and weighing just over 13 ounces unloaded. It has a 3.25-inch barrel and 6+1 capacity magazine, plus one additional extended magazine in the box.
The trigger pull on the Glock 42 is approximately 5 pounds which also makes it well-suited for those new to shooting handguns. Both pistols also feature polymer frames and ambidextrous manual safeties.
However, on the SCCY CPX-3 this safety must be released before each shot can be fired, whereas on the Glock 42, it functions as a deactivator.
In terms of price, both pistols come in around $300-$400, depending on where you purchase them from.
Ultimately, when it comes to choosing between these two pistols, it boils down to personal preference, as each offers its own set of benefits and drawbacks depending on your particular needs or preferences in terms of size, weight, and firepower, among other factors.
Frequently Asked Question
Does a SCCY CPX-3 have a safety?
Yes, the SCCY CPX-3 has manual safety. The safety is located on the left side of the frame, just above the trigger.

Stevie gives her moonstruck songs a modern sheen on stellar comeback album
Stevie Nicks ***½
In Your Dreams (Reprise)
Stevie Nicks built her legend on the California-Babylon chronicles she perfected in the Seventies with Fleetwood Mac, and in the Eighties on underrated solo gems like The Other Side of the Mirror. But she still has that eternal edge-of-17 tremor in her voice. The gypsy queen is in royal form on In Your Dreams — it’s not just her first album in 10 years, it’s her finest collection of songs since the Eighties.
In Your Dreams has the high-gloss L.A. production of her collaborators, Glen Ballard and Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart. But the material is Nicks in platform-soled hyper-romantic mode, with her voice in surprisingly supple shape. “Secret Love” is an oldie she wrote in 1976 — who knew she was still keeping secrets from her Rumours days? It seems to be about one of her rock-star beaus, although she coyly maintains she can’t remember which one. Yet it isn’t even one of the better tracks on In Your Dreams. The over-the-top seduction ballad “Italian Summer” could be her answer to the Stones’ “Wild Horses.” It climaxes in a very Stevie credo: “Love was everywhere/You just had to fall.”
Nicks finds storytelling inspiration everywhere, from the Twilight series (“Moonlight [A Vampire’s Dream]”) to Jean Rhys (“Wide Sargasso Sea”). But the real showstopper here is the Edgar Allan Poe tribute “Annabel Lee,” a fan fave that’s been kicking around on bootlegs since the Nineties. It’s a six-minute meditation on love and death with echoes of the Fleetwood Mac classic “Dreams.” Poe’s key line — “The moon never beams without bringing me dreams” — might have been written in 1849, but it was clearly meant for Stevie Nicks to sing.
Key Tracks: “Annabel Lee” “Italian Summer,” “Secret Love”
In Your Dreams is Nicks’ first album in a decade.

Norman Oklahoma Baby Photographer
This summer has been an amazing time or recharging, relaxing, and learning! After 16 weeks of acute morning sickness I needed to recuperate and catch up on life. I never like my photography “muscle” to go unused for long periods of time so I decided to participate in a 2-week mentoring program with my friend and fellow photographer Jamie Current.
She took my engagement pictures almost 7 years ago and was the catalyst that started me on my photography journey! I’ve always loved her photo journalistic work as she captures everyday life with her two littles, so I set out to glean as much information as possible from her via a Skype session (she lives in Illinois) and her constructive criticism of my lifestyle images via her private Facebook group. I am thrilled with the results!
Nailing the basics like exposure, focus, and composition is important, but even a textbook shot can lack that “wow” factor if the image doesn’t tell a story or evoke some kind of emotion in the viewer. That said, Jamie caters to all level of photographers from amateur “mom-togs” to professionals and everything in between, so contact her if you would like to mentor with her.
