BARCELONA are reportedly considering a swoop to sign Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso.
Nou Camp chiefs want the 27-year-old to be the long-term replacement for Gerard Pique.
The World Cup winner and former Manchester United star will turn 32 next February.
And Goal claim that the La Liga giants have identified the versatile Spaniard as the man to fill his boots.
Pique still has plenty to offer, but Barca know their ageing squad needs some work and are already looking to inject some younger men into the fold.
But he does have experience of playing there for his previous club Fiorentina.
The star has become a big hit with Blues fans since Conte brought him to Stamford Bridge in August 2016 for £23million.
OFF TO COURT Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois to sue Marc Wilmots over accusations he leaked Belgium team selections to media
He helped the West London side to win the Premier League title in his first season.
Despite their dreadful defence this campaign, his performances have still warned him a place in the PFA Team of the Year.
LATEST CHELSEA NEWS
And it is not only his defensive capabilities that have caught the eye of Barcelona.
Alonso has demonstrated his superb set-piece abilities on numerous occasions and also his eye for goal bagging 13 times.
That combination has made the La Liga leaders interested observers of the ace – despite his previous connections with Real Madrid.
Although a potential move to the Catalan giants would see him follow in the footsteps of his father, who was on the books of Barca in the 1980s.
Whether Chelsea would be prepared to sell Alonso is another matter.
The report claims that they will resist all approaches for him and will instead try to secure his future by offering him a bumper new deal, despite him still being under contract until 2021.

One of the most famous rappers of the world, Snoop Dogg, posted a recent photo of himself with the legendary members of Guns N’ Roses today and made a funny joke by saying that he’s the new member of the band.
In the recent Instagram post, Snoop Dogg has visited all members of Guns N’ Roses before their concert and they had a good time together at the backstage of the show.
Also, Snoop Dogg has made a new announcement through this Instagram post and announced that he is a new member of Guns N’ Roses. But clearly, that was a joke.
Here’s what he captioned:
“New member of the group @gunsnroses.”
A fan named John Brown commented:
“I cant wait to see Guns n Roses in concert now!”
Another fan Michael Gallagher was likened Axl Rose to Donald Trump:
“Is that Donald trump”

Expression in the Performing Arts
Editor: Inma Álvarez, Héctor J. Pérez and Francisca Pérez-Carreño
Date Of Publication: Apr 2010
The performing arts represent a significant part of the artistic production in our culture. Correspondingly the fields of drama, film, music, opera, dance and performance studies are expanding. However, these arts remain an underexplored territory for aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Expression in the Performing Arts tries to contribute to this area. The volume collects essays written by international scholars who address a variety of themes concerning the core philosophical topic of expression in the theory of the performing arts.
Specific questions about the ontology of art, the nature of the performances, the role of the performer, and the relations between spectators and works emerge from the study of the performing arts. Besides, these arts challenge the unchanging physicality of other kinds of works of art, usually the direct result of creative individual artist, and barely affected by the particular circumstances of their exhibition. Expression is one of the issues that adopt a special character in the performing arts. Do singers, dancers or actors express the feelings a work is expressive of? How does the performer contribute to the expressive content of the work? How does the spectator emotionally respond to the physical proximity of the performers? Is aesthetic distance avoided in the understanding of the performing arts? How are the expressive properties of work, performance and characters related? And how are the subjectivities they embody revealed? The contributions presented here are not all in agreement on the right answers to theses questions, but they offer a critical and exciting discussion of them.
In addition to original proposals on the theoretical aspect of expression in the performing arts, the collection includes analyses of individual artists, historical productions and concrete works of art, as well as reflections on performative practice.
Inma Álvarez is a Lecturer at the Department of Languages, The Open University, United Kingdom. She is also a Visiting Lecturer at the Conservatorio Superior de Danza in Madrid, Spain. Francisca Pérez-Carreño is Professor of Aesthetics and Theory of the Arts at the University of Murcia, Spain. Héctor J. Pérez is Associate Professor of Audiovisual Communication and Aesthetics and the Director of the Postgraduate Program in Music at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain. The three collaborate in a research project on the expression of subjectivity in the arts.

How Reshape Medical built an alternative to bariatric surgery for obesity | DeviceTalks Podcast
In this episode of DeviceTalks, we speak with Richard Thompson, CEO of ReShape Medical, about the company’s bariatric surgery alternative for people suffering from obesity.
In July, San Clemente, Calif.-based ReShape™ won pre-market approval from the FDA for its dual balloon system, indicated to facilitate weight loss in obese adult patients. The system is designed to be inserted endoscopically into the stomach, where it remains for 6 months to help patients feel full. The balloon is meant to be temporary and patients with the device undergo supervised diet and exercise plans to maintain weight loss following its removal, according to ReShape.

Frasers backs out of takeover after SportsCheck files for bankruptcy
Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group said on Thursday that it has backed out of plans to buy SportsCheck after the German sports retailer filed for insolvency.
Frasers, which owns Sports Direct and House of Fraser, among others, announced in October that it had agreed to buy SportsCheck from Signa Retail Department Store Holding for an undisclosed sum.
The retailer said it was disappointed by the insolvency of SportScheck, but continues to believe it’s "an attractive asset in one of Europe's most important markets for sports". Frasers said it plans to work with the appointed preliminary insolvency administrator with a view to buying the SportScheck business/assets out of administration.
"Frasers remains committed to our ambition to become the leading sports retailer in EMEA," it said.

Two identical bills were introduced in Congress recently that would create the “National Childhood Brain Tumor Prevention Network Act of 2009.” In order to keep these bills moving, everyone concerned about this issue needs to keep the attention on the desperate need for research by performing two important actions.
The language used in your communication is very important. Details on suggested letter format, legislative process, and definitions are included in the information below.
Read the legislation that has been filed in Congress [Washington, D.C.] (links posted below this paragraph) so that you are somewhat familiar with its content. One bill was filed in the House, one in the Senate. These are called “companion bills:” identical bills filed in both chambers at the same time send a message of importance and can help the legislation move more quickly through the process. Bills must be approved in their own chamber and then the opposite chamber before they can be passed into law.
House Bill 653 link:
Senate Bill 305 link:
Identify your Congressional House of Representatives Member and Senator by visiting www.congress.org. You will need your zip code + 4.
E-MAIL your Representative and Senator in Washington with a customized letter (a suggested format is available here.) Regular mail must be irradiated because of the 2001 anthrax attacks and can take up to 3 months to arrive. All of Congress is set up to receive and prefers e-mail.
Tell them you will be e-mailing them to follow up on the status. Always end with an “ask.” Your ask = their action.
Identify your State House of Representatives Member and Senator (who serve your local state Capitol) by visiting your state’s legislative website. You may have to Google “[state name] general assembly.” For example, Georgia’s web site is http://www.legis.state.ga.us/. You will need your zip code + 4. Again, you should send an e-mail (suggested format is available here.)
However, the goal of reaching the State Senator and Representative is a different “ask.”
Here, you are asking the legislators to pass a joint resolution (meaning the House and Senate both sign it) urging Congress to pass HR 653 and S 305. This carries a lot of weight and tells Congress that this issue is very important to the constituents in their states. A suggested format with the applicable language is included below.
Tell them you will be e-mailing them to follow up on the status. End with an “ask;” your ask = their action.
Ask your friends, family, helper network, medical professionals, church, community, school, teachers, and anyone else you can think of to do the same. The more noise, the better. In legislative affairs, it is very true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so to speak.
If Congress passes these bills, and if your state passes a joint resolution, make sure to thank your Representatives and Senators.
To track the Congressional Legislation (S/H), http://thomas.loc.gov/
SUGGESTIONS FOR DRAFT LETTERS
If you can e-mail your letter, that is the preferred method of communication. The next is via fax. Regular mail can take up to 3 months, as it has to be irradiated due to the anthrax attacks of 2001. It is likely your Congressional representatives will never see your letter that way.
Please customize your letter. Form letters that all say the same thing are extremely ineffective. But if you follow a general format, include personal testimony and clinical statistics, and “ask” for a specific action, your e-mail or faxed letter will be VERY, VERY impactful.

TRENTON -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday stressed that despite heading Donald Trump's transition team, he hasn't been giving him any advice on who the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's should select as a running mate.
Just as some news organizations were reporting Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana appeared to be Trump's pick for VP, Christie was sitting for an exclusive interview with MSNBC in which he admitted he couldn't give impartial counsel on a running mate because it was a job he wanted for himself.
"I wouldn't advise him on this. Because I'm biased. ... I couldn't give him unbiased advice," Christie said. "I'm not going to go in there and advise him to pick someone else."
Several news outlets reported Trump had settled on Pence. Others later reported that Trump had not yet made his decision. Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., told NBC News that his father has narrowed the field down to three candidates -- Christie, Gingrich, and Pence -- and that he will make a decision later Thursday.
Christie said he was not aware of Trump's decision and that he would not be disappointed if the pick went to someone else.
Christie downplayed reports that his pick for VP could have been foiled by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, whom Christie had successfully prosecuted for illegal campaign contributions, tax fraud and witness tampering in 2005.
"I don't even know if any of that's true," the governor said, when asked by MSNBC if his selection would be blocked by Kushner. "I'm not in every room where every conversation is going on, so I can't warranty it to you. But I can just tell you what my personal experience has been in interacting with Jared, and the other members of the family. It's been nothing but really good professionally, and very cordial personally."
The governor also strongly disagreed with U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan's June advise to Republican National Convention delegates to vote their conscience when it came to supporting Trump or not.
"If you're a Republican, and you're not working for Donald Trump, you're working for Hillary Clinton," Christie warned. "The people have spoken."
Christie, who sought the presidency himself, argued that while many Republicans were unhappy with their nominee, it was time to unite around the voters' choice.
"There would've been plenty of people who were griping if I won (the presidential nomination)," he said. "I've got enemies out there."

If you are an avid reader of Young Adult (YA) books, whether they be the Hunger Games or The Hate That You Give, then you don’t want to miss the 2nd annual Montreal YA! Fest, which will take place at 5151 Cote St. Catherine Road on May 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Presented by the Jewish Public Library (JPL), the festival will feature 25 popular YA authors such as Tim Wynne-Jones (who will be the conference’s keynote speaker), Monique Polak, SK Ali, Jeff Zentner, Sabina Khan and Laura Sebastian, who will be involved in a wide assortment of activities throughout the day such as panel discussions and book signings; as well, there will be a creativity contest, a photo booth, personalized button-making, book merchandise for sale, live music and a lunch.
“The Young Adult literary genre has a demographic that’s tough to appeal to, because teens like to do their own thing,” said Talya Pardo, who is the director of the Norman Berman Children’s Library and is an organizer of the festival. “This festival had its genesis with our mother-daughter book club event called ‘Girls’ Night Out’. Last March, someone proposed to me the idea of having a YA festival, because festivals of that nature were very popular in the U.S. And thanks to generous donations and support from Babar Books and CBC Montreal, were we able to reach out to authors and publishers.”
“And the best thing about YA books is that they’re not just for teens. Adults like to read them, too because there’s plenty of quality writing, they can be complicated and simple, and they deal with many issues and concerns, such as bullying and terrorism.”
Tickets for the Montreal YA! Fest are $20 in advance and $25 at the door; and lunch is also included in the price of admission. For more information, go to www.mtlyafest.com.
Montreal International Jazz Festival
Whenever the organizers from the Montreal International Jazz Festival announces their line-up every spring, I always seek out first and foremost the rock and pop music legends that are going to perform at the festival, and whose respective shows I know that are must-sees for me.
For this year’s milestone 40th anniversary edition – scheduled to run from June 27 to July 6 – I am happy to discover that when the line-up for the indoor shows was revealed, there were a bountiful selection of those music legends – including artists who got their big breaks here – whose shows I hope will be included in the media ticket request form, which will certainly guarantee my attendance with an added sense of reverence.
And here are those rock/pop legends that will grace the jazz festival’s many indoor venues: As part of the Evenements speciaux TD Series at Salle WIlfrid Pelletier of Place des Arts, the festival will welcome veteran Canadian rock group Blue Rodeo (June 28), guitarist George Benson (July 1), concept rocker Alan Parsons (July 4), rock star Peter Frampton, who is making a stop at the festival as part of his farewell tour (July 8), and the double bill of Buddy Guy and Colin James (July 6).
At Place des Arts’ Theatre Maisonneuve, the following legends shows will be part of the Grands concerts Rio Tinto Series: Brazilian jazz vocalist Bebel Gilberto (June 29), and the John Pizzarelli Trio teams up with Montreal singer Ranee Lee to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nat King Cole with “For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nate King Cole” (July 3).
Finally, don’t forget to catch the return of these local vocalists who got their musical careers launched at the jazz festival: Nikki Yanofsky (June 29 at Club Soda) and the Holly Cole Trio (for a four-night run at the Lion d’Or from July 2-5).
Tickets for these and all other jazz festival indoor shows are now on sale. For more information, or to purchase tickets, go to www.montrealjazzfest.com or call 514-871-1881.
Montreal theatre scene
There is a new kid in town regarding the Montreal theatre scene. Its name is Contact Theatre. Founded by Ally Brumer and Debora Friedmann, Contact Theatre is a newly-formed theatre company that is dedicated to presenting Broadway’s most risqué musicals with a fresh approach that is more modern, tackles heavy moral issues and questions the status quo, and showcase a diverse selection of new voices and talent from across the community.
And Contact Theatre achieved those objectives with flying colours with their inaugural production, a musical recounting of the life and violent times of 1930s American outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, which had a successful four-night run last week at the MainLine Theatre. And judging by the full house at the performance I attended, the strong performances by the cast, the way the spirit of the Great Depression of the 30s was faithfully recreated, and the enthusiastic response by the audience throughout the show, then this new kid in town is her to stay for a very long time.
What I liked about this production is how it brought a greater emphasis on the human side of the story of Bonnie Parker (Camille Cormier Morasse) and Clyde Barrow (Joel Bernstein), on how they met, fell in love (much to the consternation of their parents) and thanks to the harsh reality of the Great Depression, led them to a life of crime and violence that thanks to sensational media coverage, became heroes in the eyes of average Americans who were going through that same harshness in their lives during that period.
The live music, the song and dance numbers and the costumes really gave the production a complete air of authenticity that really took you back in time to the early 1930s. And special kudos go to Julia Kennific, for her riveting performance as Blanche Barrow, the mercurial wife of Clyde’s brother Buck; it would have made Estelle Parsons (who portrayed Blanche in the classic 1967 Bonnie & Clyde biopic and won an Oscar as a result) proud.
If the success of “Bonnie & Clyde” is any indication, then Contact Theatre will certainly become a force to be reckoned with in the Montreal theatre scene and the many spectators who enjoy seeing live theatre on a regular basis.
The Dawson Theatre Collective
The Dawson Theatre Collective presents “The Importance of Being Verity”, an original comedy by Victoria Caputo, Mathilde Rousseau, Cate Dunsby, Nadia Trudel and Jeff Gandell, which will have a three night run (May 8, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m.) at the Dawson Theatre, located at 2000 Atwater Street on the Dawson College Campus site.
Loosely based on Oscar Wilde’s classic play “The Importance of Being Earnest”. the story focuses on Jack, a member of the Dawson men’s hockey team. When that team is folded, Jack’s passion for playing the game leaves him no choice but to disguise himself as a women so that he could play for the Verity, Dawson’s women’s hockey team. However, things get kind of complicated for Jack when he meets and falls for Gwen, the captain of the women’s team; and to top things off, Jack’s best friend Algy threatens to blow Jack’s cover as a means to get even with the school’s glee club.
Tickets are $15, $10 for students and seniors. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit two charities: the Theresa Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives of grandmothers and orphaned children of AIDS victims in Malawi; and Gender Creative Kids, which offers support, training and workshops that help to create safe spaces for transgender, binary and creative kids everywhere. To purchase tickets, go to www.buytickets.at/beingverity, or the Dawson Theatre box office on the night of each performance.

Some dog walkers are ignoring a summer beach ban in Swansea, and a sign has been defaced.
And a small number of surfers and a swimmer appear unable to resist the lure of the sea.
The dog ban bye-law is in force throughout Wales from May 1 to September 30 each year and covers Bracelet Bay, Limeslade Bay, Rotherslade Bay, Langland Bay, Caswell Bay, and sections of Swansea beach and Port Eynon beach.
It is a perennial talking point, but this year's lockdown has got tongues wagging even more because people are not allowed to drive anywhere to exercise.
Some councillors have been asked to continue lobbying council chiefs for a temporary suspension of the summer ban.
Pictures taken on May 4 by a Swansea resident, who didn't want to be named, suggest some owners were ignoring it.
The person who took them said he had counted between 20 and 30 dogs on Langland beach by 1pm.
He said children were more likely to be running around in bare feet on beaches in the summer.
"Some dog owners may disagree but children are far more important than dogs so the welfare of children should obviously take precedence," he said.
The full list of beaches across Wales imposing the dog beach ban can be found here but a small number of councils have relaxed measures during the lockdown.
Cllr Will Thomas, whose ward covers Langland, said: "The large majority of people have been asking for the ban to be lifted.
"However, there are a number of residents who have contacted me with concerns about that proposal."
He added: "I understand it must be frustrating for residents to see such a lack of flexibility from the council."
Bishopston and Mayals councillors, Lyndon Jones and Linda Tyler-Lloyd, also said they'd been asked by residents to push for a suspension of the summer ban.
Cllr Tyler-Lloyd said: "The promenade is so narrow. You've got walkers and cyclists - and the cyclists go too fast - which is why people with dogs are going on the beach."
Cllr Jones said the continuation of the bye-law was "disappointing", and added: "We are not asking for something to be changed forever."
Watch as motorbikers are filmed on Swansea beach during lockdown
St Thomas ward member, Cllr Clive Lloyd, said he'd only had a request to change which part of Swansea beach was restricted to make it easier for people in his patch to access the section which wasn't restricted.
"That's perhaps something in principle I would support," he said.
But Cllr Lloyd said changing a bye-law was "a bit of a nightmare".
Meanwhile, a sign at Rotherslade about the summer dog ban has recently been defaced.
Jim Young, who has a beach hut at Rotherslade, said: "I can see why some people argue for the ban to be lifted under current circumstances, but it is there for a reason.
“The beaches are busier in the summer, and there are usually lots of children on there, who might be worried by a dog.
“And if you ignore one bye-law, then what is to stop you ignoring another? It is the thin end of the wedge."
There are 15 beaches in Swansea which don't have a summer dog ban.
A council spokesman said: "We are monitoring beaches and will look at carrying out enforcement if the public are not assisting by observing the restrictions."
Surfers and swimmers should also not enter the water under the current rules.

TEACHERS: Kitsap educators angry at lawmakers
Sun | Local
State legislators are ignoring the desire of voters, who want to dedicate more money to improving Washington schools.
That's the opinion of a group of Kitsap County teachers, school administrators and parents who held a press conference Thursday at South Kitsap High School. The media event was organized by the Washington Education Association as a way to draw public attention to education spending plans proposed by lawmakers.
Teachers in a handful of districts have walked out to get their message across.
A panel of speakers at the press conference said existing school funding is in jeopardy because the Legislature wants to free up funds to support two voter-approved education initiatives.
"What's the Legislature thinking when they play this shell game with education funding?" North Kitsap School Superintendent Gene Medina said.
In November, voters approved Initiative 728, which creates a special fund for learning programs and class-size reduction. Also passed was Initiative 732, which gives school employees cost-of-living raises.
The Bremerton Board of Education weighed in on the same issues Thursday evening, unanimously passing a resolution urging legislators "to follow the spirit and intent of voter approved Initiatives 728 and 732 by fully funding both initiatives without reducing or supplanting currently existing funding levels."
The wording of the resolution, which many districts are considering passing, was discussed at a recent state conference of superintendents.
"As most of us realize, the Legislature is playing games with us again," board president Verna Rae Oraker said.
Board member Russ Hartman, who co-wrote I-728, said the resolution amounts to more than just a piece of paper.
"Every piece of input that is received (by legislators) has an impact," Hartman said.
He said that as legislative leaders huddle in negotiations for a budget deal, "now is the time, if we want to be heard, to speak."
Educators say the Legislature's response to the initiatives is to cut education elsewhere and limit which school employees will get raises. Proposed budgets by the state House, Senate and Gov. Gary Locke call for education spending cuts.
Using the House budget as the worst-case scenario, school officials said their districts would enjoy only a portion or virtually no I-728 funding benefits, if the state cuts other areas of education funding.
"I-728 brought education two steps forward, but with the Legislature we will go one step back," said Dan Whitford, the South Kitsap School District's director of secondary education.
South Kitsap is expected to receive $2 million in I-728 funding. Whitford said that number would be more like $1 million, if cuts are enacted.
The state is considering eliminating a year-old "Better Schools" funding program, which helped many districts lower class sizes and provide for more professional development.
Whitford said the better schools money means $750,000, or 10 school teachers, to his district. Other areas being considered for cuts in Olympia include block grant funding to school districts and school safety money.
There is also talk that the state will only fund raises to teachers that are supported by state funding, not those positions funded by local levy money and federal funds.
"We will realize none of the I-728 money - none of it," said Ken Crawford, Bainbridge Island schools' assistant superintendent of human resources.
Making things worse, school districts are facing higher energy costs this year and their share of employee benefits are rising, Crawford said.

|SEMINAR: Nine thousand playgroup teachers throughout Indonesia as attending National Seminar of Early Education Curriculum 2015 in UMM Dome (14/3)|
UMM Dome, Saturday (14/3) was crowded by nine thousand playgroup teachers throughout Indonesia. They attended National Seminar of Playgroup Curriculum 2015 held by Association of Indonesian Playgroup Teachers (Himpaudi) East Java.
The chief of this association as well as lecturer of Elementary Teacher Education Department (PGSD UMM) Dr. Siti Fatimah Soenaryo, M.Pd explained that this seminar was discussed about many things related to Playgroup curriculum starting from its substance, aspects review, and its implementation. “This seminar could become valuable reference for many playgroup teachers. We have to realize also that early education could determine a success in succeeding education level,” she said.
Head of Kemendikbud Prof. Furqon stated that curriculum for early education should be dynamic for accommodating students. Accordingly, it was the important thing to confirm whether or not it had been well-managed. It was also aimed to prepare competent outcomes.
Being predicted, said Furqon, in a future the need of skilled outcomes would be significantly increased. “Therefore, through this seminar it is expected to provide great outcomes,” he explained. In implementation phase, it is expected to give solution for these following problems: education access, education quality, and the increase of competent teachers. “The presence of all playgroup teachers here is one of those responses. We have to make sure that we have provided qualified service,” said Director General of Early and Civil Education Taufik Hanafi.
Meanwhile, the staff of Himpaudi Chapter Bali Endah said she would surely implement it based on local culture. “Salute for UMM! They have held this such great national seminar,” said her.
At the implementation level, this seminar was indeed involved college students: representatives from Students Association of Elementary Teacher Education (HMJ PGSD) UMM. “For us, this seminar is precisely appropriate. Through this seminar we know how the good curriculum for early education should be and how to implement it,” said Chief of HMJ PGDS Handoko. (dar/han/t_stu)


(RepublicanDaily.org) – Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has never made his approach to fiscal policy a secret. He wants to see more taxes and more public spending, particularly on healthcare. The two-time presidential hopeful has thereby established himself as one of the furthest-left figures in Washington, DC, at least economically. Now, Sanders is pushing his agenda again, slamming fellow lawmakers for their failure to lower drug prices.
This week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted down a proposal that would have allowed the head of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to bargain for lower drug prices. Crucially, three moderate Democrats opposed the legislation. Sanders was especially critical of these lawmakers, saying they had no reason not to vote in favor of the bill.
On Thursday, September 16, Sanders posted a tweet with an accompanying video slamming the pharma industry. The footage tracks Sanders’ statements on the issue throughout his career in politics, as he bemoans the industry’s ability to lobby lawmakers into allowing drug prices to remain high.
For years, the story has gone like this: the pharmaceutical industry spends billions lobbying Congress to do nothing to lower prescription drug prices, they get their way. And so the American people continue to pay the highest drug prices in the world.
Time to end their greed. pic.twitter.com/chVW1FNPKj
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 16, 2021
Lowering drug prices is not a partisan policy. As Sen. Sanders conveniently failed to mention, former President Donald Trump tried to bring down pharmaceutical costs toward the end of his time in office. A federal court slapped down the attempt in December 2020.

Even though it’s not going to be released for another year, a teaser trailer for Top Gun 2: Bottoms Up has landed. If I didn’t know any better I’d say they just cobbled together scenes from the original movie and slapped that old age filter over Tom Cruise’s face, because there is absolutely nothing new to see here. But the fleeting glance of Jon Hamm STRIDING WITH PURPOSE tells me they actually filmed some new scenes. But the rest is all been there, done that, got the soundtrack to prove it (seriously, it’s one of the best motion picture soundtracks of the 80s). Shirtless beach volleyball scene: Check. Tommy racing the wind on his motorcycle: Check. Drunken group singing: Check. Pointless insubordination: Check, check, and check.
A Former Scientologist Claims Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman’s Children Were Forced To Disconnect From Her
If you ask Nicole Kidman how her kids are, she might say, “Oh, my two little girls are great. They had a fun time flat-ironing their daddy’s hair last night.” And then things would get awkward when you ask, “Um…what about the other two?” Because Nicole doesn’t talk too much about her 26-year-old daughter Isabella and 24-year-old son Connor, the two kids she adopted while she was still married to Tom Cruise.
According to Nicole, Isabella and Connor get left out of the conversation because she’s private. But the rumor is that she had to wave bye-bye to them when she left Tom and Scientology behind in 2001. Radar Online recently spoke to a former Scientologist, and she claims that’s true.
The Church Of Scientology Is Being Sued For Kidnapping, Human Trafficking, And A Slew Of Other Alleged Crimes
I hope Leah Remini is having a great day and is kicking back somewhere with an icy cold glass of pinot gris and cackling at the news that one of the participants of her Emmy award-winning show Scientology and The Aftermath, has filed a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology, David Misgave, and “25 other unnamed correspondents”, according to Rolling Stone.
Hailey Baldwin has a very important job this week, and that’s to watch Million Dollar Baby, Rocky, and any number of other underdog fight movies, and learn how to say the words, “Don’t do it, you’ll never win!” while pounding her fists into his chest. Because it sounds like Justin Bieber really wants to fight Tom Cruise.
Justin Bieber is saying that he was just kidding when he challenged Tom Cruise to a UFC fight and that he knows he would probably get his ass kicked if it were to happen. Huh, well I’m glad that’s cleared up. I don’t want to live in a world where two of the most completely sane celebrities aren’t getting along. What would Xenu think?! Justin made it clear that it was all a goof and he can go back to having real fights with David Arquette, Marilyn Manson and french kissing his wife all over Instagram.
So this is strange because of literally everything about it except for one part: which is Justin Bieber challenging someone to a fight. Because of course Justin Bieber is that person who goes around yelling, “Fight me!” to people. Especially to people who would never in a billion years actually do it. Which brings us to the news that Justin has challenged Tom Cruise to a battle royale in the octagon. It’s the Hillsong vs. Scientology showdown that nobody asked for.

Boiling milk is an effective way of dealing with disease-causing organisms. Although it does not remove all impurities, it does kill most of the dangerous bacteria and other organisms.
Why is it necessary to boil milk?
Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to destroy potentially harmful bacteria that are occasionally found in raw milk ( 41 ). The heat eliminates beneficial as well as harmful bacteria, yeasts, and molds.
What happens if we drink milk without boiling?
Raw milk may harbour E. coli, salmonella and other harmful bacteria. … While raw milk from the dairy farms must be boiled to remove bacteria, it is okay if you do not boil the packaged milk as it is already gone through the process of pasteurisation; unless you want it served hot and steamy.
Does boiling milk destroy nutrients?
Vitamins and proteins are denatured and destroyed when milk is boiled at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius for over 15 minutes. Milk is a vital source for Vitamin D and Vitamin B 12, which help in calcium absorption. Both these vitamins are highly heat sensitive and boiling milk destroys both substantially.
What happens to milk when boiled?
The Science of Curdled Milk
Milk is a mixture (called an emulsion) of butterfat, proteins, and water. When milk is boiled, the three components of the emulsion break apart: the milk proteins coagulate and separate from the water, producing what is commonly known as curdled milk.
How long should I boil milk?
According to experts, milk subjected to less heating retains its nutrient value. Experts say milk should ideally be boiled not more than twice and not for more than 2-3 minutes.
Which milk can be consumed without boiling?
Pasteurized milk can be consumed without boiling as it free from harmful microbes. The process was discovered by Louis Pasteur.
Can I drink milk directly from Packet?
Be assured that the packet milk is safe to consume, straight out of the packet. Boiling the milk is really to prevent spoilage after contamination from the patila. The practice of cooking milk has more to do with sterilizing the milk container, not the milk.
Can we drink unheated milk?
Is it safe to drink milk without boiling, directly from the packet? No, even if the milk is sterilised there can be some chances of bacteria in it. So you should boil it properly before drinking it. No, even if the milk is sterilised there can be some chances of bacteria in it.
Should I boil pasteurized milk?
According to Dr Saurabh Arora, founder, food safety helpline.com, there is no need to boil pasteurized milk at all. “As it has already been given heat treatment during pasteurization, milk is microbe free. … If we boil pasteurized milk, we end up diminishing its nutritive value.
Does boiling milk make it last longer?
A rapid heating and cooling of milk significantly reduces the amount of harmful bacteria, extending its shelf life by several weeks. New research shows that increasing the temperature of milk by 10 degrees Celsius for less than a second eliminates more than 99 percent of the bacteria left behind after pasteurization.
What to do if milk curdles while boiling?
If a dairy-based sauce curdles, immediately halt the cooking process. Take your pan off the heat and place it in an ice bath. Atomic Kitchen recommends adding an ice cube or two to your sauce to ensure it cools on the double. If the clumps are relatively few, you can pour the whole sauce through a sieve.
How long should I boil raw milk?
3. Keep the milk at the right temperature. Heat the milk to 63°C (150°F) for at least 30 minutes or 72°C (162°F) for at least 15 seconds. If the temperature falls lower than the one you’re using, you have to start timing again.
Can we boil good life milk?
Goodness of Milk, Minus the Hassle!
Enjoy your favourite cereal at its crunchy best with Goodlife! Since it is sterilised, UHT milk needs no boiling and can be consumed directly from the pack. Treat your besties with the goodness of GoodLife.
What causes curdling of milk?
In warm and favourable temperatures Lactic acid Bacterium present in milk uses enzymes to produce energy ( ATP ) . The by – product of ATP production is lactic acid. Increased acidity or decrease in pH causes caesin to tangle into solid masses of “curdles”.
Can we boil homogenised milk?
Why should we boil an already pasteurised and homogenized milk ? … Boiling milk before consumption is merely a remnant of a habit which is passed on from our ancestors times when it was absolutely necessary but redundant now. Unless you still procure your milk from the local ‘goala’.

Seven years ago, Mr Fleming started his company, WIC, at the Centre For Innovation in the suite next to where The Distiller now operates.
He recalled to the Otago Daily Times that there was not much of a buzz around the centre. There were a few spin-offs in biotechnology firms operating from the centre.
When he returned to visit The Distiller about two years ago he got excited by the energy coming out of The Lab, the suite which hosts entrepreneurs trying to get their businesses up and running.
"A lot of people get together and despite their differences, they collaborate and exchange ideas.
"To me that is the value of a network - the free exchanges of ideas. It only takes one of those ideas to work."
Mr Fleming became involved with The Distiller after meeting co-founders Jason Leong, Tim Calder and Pierre-Emmanuel Perruchot de La Bussiere who were keen on getting internet access.
After the three men explained what they were doing, Mr Fleming agreed to provide a basic deal, believing The Distiller would not use much bandwidth. Then, he sat back and watched.
"After six months, I became more excited about what they were doing and I agreed to give them more capacity."
Twenty terabytes later, Mr Fleming's belief that if businesses had access to unlimited broadband, great things could happen had been realised.
Other New Zealand internet service providers had data caps, a disincentive that stopped people using the internet, he said.
Asked what the benefit was for him, Mr Fleming said he was already working on projects with Mr Calder, one of them following a five-minute conversation in a car park.
"You can't plan for that. It just happened."
The project was installing a webcam which was recording the construction of Forsyth Barr Stadium.
WIC was now providing wireless internet to The Distiller on commercial terms.
A posting on a Facebook page led Mr Fleming to start a project with one of The Lab's residents and he believed further projects would come out of his association with The Distiller.
"You can't predict what is going to be. I have done it because of the bigger benefits that are going to come."
By helping The Distiller, Mr Fleming believed that more Otago University graduates would be encouraged to stay in the city and try out their ideas.
"Some will move on but others will stay. The opportunity to have a few ideas stick can only be positive."


Calton Development Framework Approved
|Glasgow City Council has approved a development framework for the Calton area for the next ten to fifteen years.
The Calton Area Development Framework will act as the local planning policy for the area, which lies to the east of the city centre and will be on the route to the Commonwealth Games venues when Glasgow plays host in 2014.
The council hopes the framework will also stimulate development and support the Barras market to become a hub for new businesses.
The remaining aims of the framework are to develop walking routes and open spaces, make Bain Square a neighbourhood centre or the 'heart' of Calton, and make the area into a place where people can live healthily, with a choice of housing, employment, shops, services and recreation facilities.
- - - - - - Advertisement - - - - - -
Bailie Liz Cameron, executive member for jobs and the economy at Glasgow City Council, said: "Calton and the Barras have historically played a key role in the development of Glasgow, and this framework points the way for their future regeneration.
"The area has many assets, particularly in its location - close to the city centre and the massive potential now being unlocked in the East End - and its future development will benefit both local people and businesses and the economy of Glasgow as a whole."
Those behind the plans will now ask for five-year funding from the council to improve the area.

What is a ketogenic diet? A keto diet is typically known for being a low carb diet where your body produces ketones in the liver to be used for energy.
In a normal diet (high in carbohydrates), your body will use glucose as the main source of energy. Since glucose is your primary energy, fats are not needed and end up being stored. When you lower your carb intake for the keto diet, your body is induced in a state that is called ketosis, a normal metabolic process in which the body doesn’t have enough glucose for energy, so it burns stored fats instead.
The ketogenic diet can help you lose excess fat, which is found to be closely linked to type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. One study showed that a ketogenic diet improved the insulin sensitivity by 75%. Another study produced results showing that some type 2 diabetics found that they were able to stop all diabetes medications.
Types of Ketogenic Diets
There are four different versions of a ketogenic diet. These include:
- Standard ketogenic diet (SKD) – Very low carb, moderate protein, and high fat diet. Typically contain 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs.
- Cyclicial ketogenic diet (CKD) – Periods of high card refeeds. For example, 5 days ketogenic dieting, then 2 high carb days.
- Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) – Adding carbs around workouts.
- High-protein ketogenic diet – Similar to the standard ketogenic diet, but with more protein. 60% fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbs.
While there are different versions to experiment with, the only ketogenic diet that has been extensively studied is the standard. The standard ketogenic diet is most recommended for diabetics, unless you are experienced with controlling your diet like bodybuilders or athletes typically are.
Foods to Eat
In order to maintain a ketogenic diet, you should plan your meals around these base foods:
- Fatty Fish
- Nuts and Seeds
- Butter and Cream
- Low Carb Veggies
- Healthy Oils
While a ketogenic diet can help you lose weight and manage your diabetes, it is not for everyone. Before changing your diet drastically, consult your doctor and dietitian about what you should do to remain healthy.

Salesforce.com announced continued growth and momentum around Salesforce Wear with Epson, Jawbone, Meta, Oculus and Vuzix joining the Salesforce Wear device ecosystem.
The Salesforce Wear app ecosystem demonstrates the potential of wearable technology across industries with the introduction of enterprise apps built on the Salesforce1 Platform.
Comments on the News
- "The explosive growth of Salesforce Wear has validated the need for a unified platform to bring together software companies, wearable device manufacturers and developers wanting to create apps that will enable companies to connect with customers in entirely new ways," said Daniel Debow, SVP of emerging technologies, salesforce.com.
- "ClickSoftware is embracing wearables as an exciting next step to drive great customer experiences, employee productivity and satisfaction," said Mike Karlskind, VP of product marketing, ClickSoftware. "Workers in the field are often juggling multiple physical tasks, and having a device to monitor their safety or provide real-time prompts based on inputs from a wearable is making the future a reality for today's workforce."
- "With wearable solutions, Etherios is transforming device data into actionable information through the Internet of Things in order to better patients' lives," said Mike Dannenfeldt, SVP, Etherios. "Remote monitoring facilitated by wearable devices is enabling independence from the comfort of patients' own homes."
- "By leveraging technology from Meta's glasses and the Salesforce1 Platform, customers will be able to walk into a car dealership, receive a pair of glasses and find themselves looking at a life-sized hologram of a vehicle of their choice," Adam Shames, head of strategic partnerships, Meta. "This customer experience combines the best elements of a face-to-face discussion and an experience that is much more engaging and meaningful than looking at brochures and chatting with someone behind a desk."
- "Accenture believes that wearable technologies have exciting use cases not only for consumers, in areas such as fitness and health monitoring and wearable fashion, but also powerful applications within the enterprise, enabling maintenance workers to quickly identify parts in the field, or allowing surgeons to connect with experts to get guidance on complicated procedures," said Brent Blum, lead of wearable technology practice, Accenture. "Through our experience working with leading clients on cutting edge consumer and enterprise deployments, we've seen first-hand the potential wearables have to transform the way people live and work. Like salesforce.com, we see a very promising future for wearable technologies and are pleased to be working together to deliver solutions in this area."
Salesforce Wear Momentum
Announced earlier this year, Salesforce Wear included the Salesforce Wear Developer Pack to empower developers to accelerate their ability to connect companies with their customers through wearable apps. The Salesforce Wear Developer Pack provides enterprise developers with sample code, documentation, demonstrations and reference apps for a growing list of devices. Salesforce Wear already includes support for Android Wear, ARM, Fitbit, Google Glass, Myo from Thalmic, Nymi from Bionym, OMSignal, Pebble, Philips and Samsung Gear II.
Additional Salesforce Wear Device Support
Building on the success of the device ecosystem, today Salesforce Wear extends support for additional wearable devices, including:
- Epson Moverio – Smart glasses
- Jawbone UP – Fitness tracker
- Meta Glasses – 3D smart glasses
- Oculus Rift – Virtual reality headset for an immersive 3D experience
- Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses – Android based wearable computing, communications and display system
New Enterprise Apps Demonstrate the Power of Wearables
The Salesforce Wear app ecosystem is comprised of a growing number of ISV's that are rapidly developing apps on the Salesforce1 Platform for a variety of industries across multiple devices. Available today on the AppExchange, Salesforce Wear apps include:
- 2lemetry: With the connected SafetyCare wearable device, senior care patients can simply swipe across the screen of the wearable to request immediate assistance, allowing them to stay connected at home, and delivering rapid resolution to issues.
- Alpine Metrics: With Alpine Metrics' free app, Intelligent Forecasting, salespeople get instant access to important trends on their wearable device to better understand what's happening with their business and prioritize deals in real time.
- APX-Labs: Through the integration of the Skylight Platform, Salesforce Wear and several smart glass providers, APX-Labs is enabling field workers, such as telecom service technicians or utility workers, to quickly log a case in the Salesforce Service Cloud, all while they continue to work.
- Brivo Labs: Brivo Labs' identity access management application, NthID, works with Nymi's persistent identity authentication using a person's cardiac rhythm – a unique quality to every individual – to allow for safe, secure and easy access to both laptops and physical spaces.
- ClickSoftware: The ShiftExpert app from ClickSoftware works with devices such as the Samsung Gear II to enable employees to complete tasks such as clocking in and out, which are then automatically incorporated into timesheets.
- Etherios: Through a series of apps from Etherios, patients' health is monitored after leaving the hospital in real time through connected scales, blood pressure cuffs and pulse oximeters. Remote monitoring is enabling individuals to live healthier lives in the comfort of their own homes.
- FacialNetwork: Powered by FacialNetwork, the HospitalityID app provides customer service reps wearing smart glasses instant identification of guests. Through integration with Salesforce1, FacialNetwork can then access guest preferences helping users exceed customer expectations.
- Proximity Insight: Proximity Insight's app sends Android Wear notifications to staff when a VIP customer comes within range of their location, allowing them to create a personalized experience.
"By 2017, wearable devices will drive 50 percent of total mobile app interactions," wrote Roxane Edjlali, research director, Gartner in the "Adapt Your Information Infrastructure in the Age of Consumer-Centric Mobile Apps" report published May 6, 2014. "Mobile app data is often siloed, and IT leaders will find data from apps that use cloud-based information repositories even more diffuse."

Eighty percent of a data scientist’s time is spent gathering and cleaning up data, and 80% of all data is unstructured and almost never analyzed. Cognitive computing, in combination with Big Data, is changing the equation by creating data reservoirs and using natural language processing to enable analysis of unstructured data sources. This is impacting every aspect of the analytics profession from how data is mined (and by whom) to how it is delivered. This is not some futuristic vision: it's ha...

It's easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app's users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage. What happens when the network doesn't work, or when the device is in airplane mode? You get unhappy, frustrated users. An offline-first app is an app that works, without error, when there is no network connection.

Fairytale moment! Keira Knightley stuns in magical forest dress as she attends Toronto premiere of Can A Song Save Your Life
She flew solo without her new husband James Righton but was beaming regardless.
Keira Knightley made a stunning appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday where she promoted her recent film, Can A Song Save Your Life.
The 28-year-old actress was demure in a brightly coloured strapless frock, and her co-star Adam Levine didn't look too scruffy by her side either.
Making an impression: Keira Knightley looked demure in a strapless silk frock on Saturday as she arrived at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new film, Can A Song Save Your Life
Keira's dress choice for the event boasted an elaborate forest-inspired design with purple flowers and pretty greenery.
She wore nude shoes and kept her jewelery to an absolute minimum, creating a beautiful natural look.
The Love Actually star pulled her brunette tresses back into a messy ponytail and flashed her signature smile on the red carpet.
Traffic stopper: The 28-year-old British actress made her way down the blocked off road into the theatre at the star-studded festival which has been taking place this week in the Canadian city
Quite the pair: Keira posed on the red carpet alongside her co-star Adam Levine to see in the musical romance-drama film written and directed by John Carney
Her co-star Adam Levine scrubbed up quite nicely in a sleek suit and crisp shirt and tie.
The Maroon 5 singer - who stars
opposite Keira in the musical romance/drama - smiled as he posed at the
premiere for the movie that sees him acting as well as singing.
The pair were also joined by fellow co-stars Catherine Keener and Shannon Maree Walsh as they welcomed their film to the Canadian festival.
She's got that look nailed: It all looked perfectly effortless for the star
Welcome! Adam lead Keira onto the stage as they presented the film at the Princess of Wales Theatre
Can A Song Save Your Life was written and directed by John Carney.
It tells the story of Gretta, played
by Keira Knightley, whose celebrity boyfriend (Adam Levine) breaks up
with her after a long-term relationship, leaving the singer to find
success on her own.
She then meets record producer Dan, played by esteemed actor Mark Ruffalo, and forms a bond with him as she tries to make it in the industry.
A round of applause: The pair stood alongside another co-star, Catherine Keener (L), as they celebrated their film
Keira recently married her love James Righton - rocker of Klaxons fame - in a small ceremony in the South of France in May.
The pair kept things small and intimate with only 11 guests at the wedding and 50 at the reception.
In July, Adam became engaged to Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo and the pair were recently seen house hunting in New York together.
Award-winning smile: The Love Actually star strode onto the stage throwing a wave to festival goers
Pretty in lace: Actress Shannon Maree Walsh, who also stars in Can A Song Save Your Life, had her turn on the red carpet
On set: Keira Knightley and Adam Levine were still shooting in July and the film is currently in post production
