CHARLESTON, S.C., Tuesday, Feb. 21, 1865.
The confused state of affairs which prevailed for the first day or two after the evacuation of the city is rapidly assuming a more quiet and satisfactory condition. The citizens of the place are gradually becoming accustomed and reconciled to the new regime, and do not hesitate to appear on the streets or to visit their places of business. But a few complaints have been made to Provost-Marshal BENNETT, by citizens who have sustained some annoyance in the way of having their premises unceremoniously entered by the soldiers, and by other citizens who have had horses, vehicles, and other property suddenly confiscated. In a few days, however, a guard will be organized throughout the city, and the people will be assured of the safety of themselves and their effects.
The appearance of the city is desolate in the extreme. While on Morris Island I often heard the report that grass was growing in the streets at the lower end of Charleston, and now I am a witness to the truth of the statement. All along the waterfront, and, in fact, for a long distance up the city, the buildings are either partially or wholly demolished. The walls of some present great, jagged holes, through which a horse and cart could easily pass, and that is the case not only in one but several streets. No wonder the rebels were solicitous to get beyond the reach of our shells! Such a punishment was never before inflicted upon any city. All of the hotels are closed, the furniture and appointments having been removed by the proprietors to the interior of the State some months ago. The Mills House was struck seventeen times, and at last the guests announced that they would not risk their lives by remaining longer in the building. The Charleston Hotel was also struck several times, so that it became necessary to close it.
While walking through the upper wards this morning, I was astonished to find that shells had even reached as far as the Georgia Railroad depot, thus showing that they had traveled a distance of five and six miles.
The first day of our entry into the city I noticed but few citizens made their appearance. I am told that the more prominent secessionists, and a great many of the Union sympathizers have gone into the country. But within the past few days a number of the latter have returned here, bringing their furniture with them. Unmistakably there is a strong Union feeling in Charleston. There is also a secesh element remaining which in course of time will die a natural death. As to the matter of subsistence the supply is limited, consisting mostly of meal and rice. The entire quantity was seized by our authorities on Saturday, and at noon to-day will be turned over to a committee of the citizens, of which committee Dr. A.G. MACKAY, one of the staunchest Union men in the place, is a member, to be distributed among the poor of the inhabitants. It seems to be inevitable that to prevent suffering, similar measures to those taken by the North in the case of Savannah must be adopted in behalf of the people of Charleston. It is contemplated by the citizens to hold a public meeting for the purpose or choosing delegates to repair to the North and lay before its people, an account of the destitute condition to which the rebellion has reduced them. I have taken special pains to inquire of a number of the inhabitants what general view was entertained in the South as to the results thus far of the war, and in every instance I was informed that the South would do well if it held out two months longer. Gen. HARDEE and other rebel military officers said before they left the city that their armies must concentrate in Virginia, or all would certainly be lost. Perhaps it will surprise many to learn that there was really a Union League established in Charleston. Such was the case, and it received the support of hundreds of the citizens, and many of the members were of such prominent standing that the military authorities dare not make open arrests.
According to the description given, the most inhuman and outrageous acts of cruelty were committed by the rebels when they evacuated. Women and children who had snatched from the flames a few bags of meal or corn, or an apronful of rice, were pursued by the cavalry and cut down with sabres. The rebels were exasperated to the nature of fiends when they approached a man who showed the least desire to share the fate of the city. Had they been allowed to exercise their own will, not a house would have been left standing. The firing of the Northeastern Railroad station together with its contents of rice, meal and flour was a proof of what they designed to do, with all the buildings. The rebels old their work too, regardless of human life and limb. In that railroad station were stored one hundred kegs of powder, which were purposely ignited while a large crowd of half-starved people were within gathering up a little quantity of meal to keep soul and body together. A most terrific explosion followed, the appalling result of which was the killing and mangling of 350 human beings.Continue reading the main story
The total quantity of cotton destroyed by fire was about 4,000 bales. It is thought that about 10,000 bales are still in the city. It is scattered around in small lots, some of the owners not having over two or three bales. Treasury Agent BROWNE and the Custom-House authorities were here yesterday, and will probably make an early disposition of this property.
In all, eight locomotives and twelve cars were captured. Two of the former are in running order to-day. The remaining six will require more or less repairing before they can be of service. A large force of laborers has been put to work on the railroad leading to Wilmington, thus indicating that we are about to do something in that direction.
The city arsenal contains a considerable quantity of ammunition. Had our troops been five minutes later in reaching the city, the arsenal would have been fired by a party of rebels who were detailed for the purpose. In the open space opposite the citadel are piles of shells suited, for the 600-pounder guns which Gen. HARDEE bursted on the morning he took his leave.
Every attention is paid to the wants of the citizens, who flock to the headquarters in vast numbers. Squads of cavalry have been sent out some distance into the interior, and a hundred or more prisoners have been captured.
Maj.-Gen. GILLMORE, Brig.-Gen. WEBSTER, and a large number of staff officers and civilians, including ladies, came up from Hilton Head yesterday morning, on the flag-steamer W.W., Coit, Capt. CROWELL.
In a short time measures will be instituted to rid the harbor and rivers of torpedoes. No explosions nave yet occurred from that cause, although it is asserted by citizens that a large number of those machines have been sunk between here and Sumter. The monitors are lying off Sumter. Admiral DAHLGREN's flagship lies a short distance from Vanderhorst Wharf. WHIT.Continue reading the main story

With a few scholarships available, the Syracuse Orange football program has some leeway to add some bodies to the roster before the 2018 season starts. There are some positions we could use some experienced help at -- wide receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive tackle — and sure, I guess offensive line as well, just because it’s always worth adding more help there.
We mention that last one because Syracuse officially made an O-line grad transfer addition late Thursday, in the form of former Texas A&M Aggies offensive tackle Koda Martin:
Thankful for my past— Koda Martin (@KmartSmart91) April 20, 2018
Excited for my future pic.twitter.com/dCkyR0sXlB
As Martin mentions above, his dad is Kirk Martin, Syracuse’s new quarterbacks coach. And Dino Babers is also his father-in-law.
But that doesn’t take away from the pedigree he brings with him to Central New York. Coming out of Manvel High School, Martin was a three-star tackle and a top-500 national recruit. At A&M, he started 14 games, including 10 this past season. Given the fact that he was in Kevin Sumlin’s up-tempo offense these past few years, that’s some pretty valuable experience for the Orange.
At 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, he’d be one of the biggest O-linemen on the team. And while this may seem like a depth add at first, Martin was a starter at an SEC school that has one year to play. Syracuse has tackle Cody Conway already, and Airon Servais has been playing on the right side of the line in practice. He hasn’t been there long, though, having started at center in 2017.
Could this be a shake-up to this seasoned O-line? Or just a quality depth add to give guys some more rest? It’s unlikely we find that out before August.

'Mojo Hand' looks at Lightnin' Hopkins the man
He is - with all apologies to ZZ Top, who would probably agree - Houston's greatest musical export. A man whose often simple country blues songs, laconic delivery and instantly identifiable guitar licks influenced artists ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Bob Dylan to Stevie Ray Vaughan.
But the sorrowful voice of Sam "Lightnin' " Hopkins (1912-82), who called the city home for most of his life, could also be heard overseas. It so enthralled a young English lad named Richard Starkey that he went so far as to fill out immigration forms in the hopes of moving to Houston to be near him. Starkey would later change his name to the more stage-friendly Ringo Starr and join a little band that did pretty well on its own.
The life and music of Lightnin' Hopkins are documented in detail in the new book "Mojo Hand" by two local authors, David Ensminger and the late Tim O'Brien. The work is an outgrowth of O'Brien's doctoral dissertation for the University of Houston, which friend (and punk rock drummer/author) Ensminger guided, wrote additional copy for and finished after O'Brien became terminally ill. It is the second major bio on Hopkins.
"Our book focuses on the man, not the legend, and the circumstances, climate and conflicts that he navigated through tumultuous eras," Ensminger says, in an interview.
And though he recorded hundreds of songs for dozens of companies over the decades - usually demanding an up-front cash payment and eschewing any rights or royalties - Hopkins spent many years playing simple house parties, clubs and beer joints here in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth wards.
A Texas State Historical Marker in his honor was unveiled in 2010 at Dowling and Francis streets near where he lived and spent a lot of time.
"[Hopkins] was shaped by a threadbare sharecropping past in East Texas, so he always experienced the hostilities of white Texans," Ensminger adds. "But at least in his era, clubs thrived in the neighborhood, so he could earn his dinner, maintain his uncanny craft and nimble skill sets, build and promulgate his own lore and seek his own vices."
After finding success recording for labels like Aladdin and Houston's Gold Star, though, Hopkins went through a dry spell. Much of the '50s-era taste in blues turned toward the electric, band-based records of artists like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and B.B. King. Hopkins' reluctance (and sometimes refusal) to have a backing band, travel or sign management or recording contracts - along with his "cash on the barrelhead" approach to payments - made him an anomaly and probably hurt his career. But it contributed to his reputation as an independent iconoclast.
The folk/blues revival of the late '50s and early '60s brought him and a lot of other "lost" blues artists back into the spotlight. Except this time he was playing to mostly white audiences at colleges and festivals.
"His focus remained hyper-local, his place in the [Houston] neighborhood. And he wanted his money for playing evidenced right away," Ensminger explains.
Also, Hopkins' highly improvisational approach to playing songs, many lyrics of which he came up with on the spot and never wrote down, added to the mystery, according to Ensminger. "He offered immediacy and spontaneity. Each recording session became a one-off archive of his brilliant flair, never to be repeated in the same away again."
Later, Hopkins would find himself on the same bill with rock acts like the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, whose audiences embraced the authentic rural and rustic backwoods blues of Hopkins and other elder blues artists as "the real deal."
Ensminger says it was a mixed blessing, for though he played to larger audiences, Hopkins never truly felt comfortable. And he performed differently at, say, Rice University than a gin joint in Richmond.
"For me, I relish his resilience," Ensminger concludes. "He is not fossilized, not frozen. And, lyrically, he could offer up lines about bald women, astronauts and war with easygoing panache. He was confident in his own skin, intuitive, productive, unquenchable and unbeatable. And a beacon, especially in a time when music has become more hollow."
Bob Ruggiero is a Houston writer.

David Ensminger will discuss and sign "Mojo Hand," 2 p.m. Saturday, Cactus Records, 2110 Portsmouth; 713-526-9272 or cactus musictx.com. A performance of Hopkins' music by John Egan and the Mighty Orq follows.

The film's director, Sandra Goldbacher, commented that Watson was "perfect" for the starring role of aspiring actress Pauline Fossil: "She has a piercing, delicate aura that makes you want to gaze and gaze at her." Watson also lent her voice to the role of Princess Pea in the animated film The Tale of Despereaux, a children's comedy starring Matthew Broderick, with Harry Potter co-star Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus Hagrid) also starring in the film.
With the lead actors now in their late teens, critics were increasingly willing to review them on the same level as the rest of the film's all-star cast, which the Los Angeles Times described as "a comprehensive guide to contemporary UK acting".
A year later, Watson again starred as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second instalment of the series. The Los Angeles Times said Watson and her peers had matured between films, Although critics panned Radcliffe's performance, labelling him "wooden", they praised Watson; The New York Times lauded her performance, saying "Luckily Mr. With Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), both Watson and the Harry Potter film series reached new milestones.
The film set records for a Harry Potter opening weekend, a non-May opening weekend in the US, and an opening weekend in the UK.
Her other roles include Regression (2015), Colonia (2015) and The Circle (2017).
The film broke records for opening-day sales and opening-weekend takings and was the highest-grossing film of 2001. Harry may show off his expanding wizardly skills ... earns the loudest applause with a decidedly unmagical punch to Draco Malfoy's deserving nose." Although Prisoner of Azkaban proved to be the lowest-grossing Harry Potter film of the entire series, Watson's personal performance won her two Otto Awards and the Child Performance of the Year award from Total Film.
Watson was offered the role, but turned it down because she did not connect with the character.
That same month, she was one of two British actors to land atop a readers' poll of the sexiest movie stars of 2013, beating Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence for the actresses' title in an online poll of more than 50,000 film fans. Watson joined Judi Dench, Robert Downey Jr., Mike Leigh, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Mark Ruffalo as recipients of the 2014 Britannia Awards, presented on 30 October in Los Angeles.
The film, directed by James Ponsoldt, was released on 28 April 2017 to negative reviews.
Watson has been attached to several as-yet unmade projects.

When it comes to the hot-button issue of gambling, it's usually a safe bet that the Legislature doesn't do anything too bold or controversial in a big election year. But the early talk from Tallahassee this year has been different.
In a rather swift reversal, Republican legislative leaders have indicated they might be open to allowing full-fledged Las Vegas-style resort casinos in South Florida. The proposal being floated would allow one resort casino in Broward, another in Miami-Dade.
Is this talk real, or merely lip service to appease all the high-rolling gambling interests that have been filling campaign coffers in recent years?
We already have a semblance of casino life here: Parimutuel "racinos" offer slot machines, poker and horse/dog/jai-alai betting, and Seminole tribal casinos in Broward offer slots, poker and table games like blackjack.
The full Vegas-style package — with everything under one roof, including real roulette and craps — is still missing. Local gamblers and some tourists would surely appreciate it.
But nothing in convoluted, complex Florida comes easily. So expect a big, messy fight between existing gambling interests (the parimutuels and Seminoles), prospective newcomers (Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Malaysian-based Genting, which bought prime waterfront land in downtown Miami) and gambling opponents (Disney, which wants to protect its Orlando theme park/convention turf.) All have armies of lobbyists and wield considerable political influence through campaign contributions.
Because the November ballot features the governor's race and mid-term Congressional elections, I'd be shocked if anything got done in the upcoming legislative session, which runs from March through May. Odds seem more favorable for change in 2015.
Whatever the Legislature decides, it needs to weigh the impact on existing gambling revenues. Last year, the state got $233 million from seven Seminole casinos across Florida and $152 million from seven South Florida parimutuel racinos. That's $385 million in annual revenue — not exactly chump change, but a lot less than gambling proponents projected when they pushed for slots via a constitutional amendment last decade.

KFC is set to launch a permanent vegan menu item on January 2, Plant Based News can confirm.
The fast-food chain’s new Vegan Burger features a ‘bespoke Quorn fillet, which is coated in the Colonel’s iconic Original Recipe herbs and spices…served with vegan mayonnaise and crisp iceberg lettuce, all within a soft-glazed bun’.
It is reported that the sandwich will be prepared in a separate area to avoid cross-contamination.
Earlier this year, the chain trialed a vegan sandwich in a number of UK outlets.
Called the Imposter Burger, it featured a bespoke Quorn fillet, coated in the chain’s Original Recipe herbs and spices, lettuce, and vegan mayo in a soft-glazed bun.
It launched on June 17 for a four-week trial, but sold-out after just four days, with sales 500 percent higher than a standard launch. KFC says it has since been ‘bombarded with pleas to bring back the vegan burger and make it available nationwide’.
‘The flavor of KFC with zero chicken’
In a statement sent to PBN, Ira Dubinsky, Innovation Director at KFC UK and Ireland said: “The Colonel was all about welcoming everyone to his table – now vegans, flexitarians and our fried chicken fans can all enjoy the taste of our Original Recipe together. We’ve worked hard to perfect the flavour and make a Vegan Burger the Colonel would be proud of. It’s the flavour of KFC, just with zero chicken.”
Tony Davison, Head of Global Foodservice & QSR at Quorn, added: “The chance to co-create exceptional food with an iconic brand like KFC is a pleasure, to see the results launched with such enthusiasm is fantastic. The result does the Colonel’s recipe justice, truly transformational vegan food that KFC fans are going to love – a finger lickin’ vegan favourite.”
Dawn Carr, Director of Vegan Corporate Projects at PETA said: “We are delighted to have played a part in KFC’s journey to bring quick, affordable, vegan options to a new audience. There is no doubt this vegan burger will be a huge hit with the skyrocketing numbers of vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians around the UK. Clucking marvellous!”
New burger who dis?

57% of vegans won’t eat KFC
While many vegans have voiced their excitement at the news, the sandwich is likely to divide opinion within the community.
A recent survey carried out by magazine Vegan Food & Living revealed that 57 percent of respondents ‘would never eat at KFC, even if there were more vegan option’.
“You’re still putting money into the coffers of company that makes its primary source of money off of the slaughter of a specific animal…this is just a marketing ploy,” one social media user said talking about the chain releasing animal-free options.

Kombucha originates from Asia where it's been brewed for 5000 years. It's becoming increasingly popular with health conscious foodies everywhere. Being a fermented tea and a probiotic drink, its healing powers are currently debated by believers and sceptics. There are claims that kombucha can fight off cancer and aids, but no studies can support these superhero qualities yet. Still, Kombucha is praised health communities world wide as a healing drink. Sold by the fact that it's a real home brew soda, and it tastes heavenly, which is enough for us to wanna brew a batch via Nourish Atelier!
The taste itself is special, complex and addictive.The whole fun thing about making your own kombucha is that you can make your own flavors. Imagine that you're hosting a birthday party for someone and you brew a special flavor for them. Your own brew brand in other words. Why not even make your own labels to go with the bottles? Note that it takes about 2 - 4 weeks to make a batch. It's real slow food. The fermentation does most of the work! Make your own golden, sweet, and a real flirty summer kombucha using the recipe below:
Peach Flavoured Kombucha Ingredients
- 1 SCOBY ("symbiotic 'colony' of bacteria and yeast")
- 3 1/2 quarts water (3.3 litre)
- 1 cup sugar (2.3 dl)
- 7 - 8 tea bags, organic black or green tea
- 2 cups starter kombucha, unpasteurized, store-bought or home brewed from an earlier batch.
- 1 peach
- 1 bottle of kombucha ( all measures work)
- Add pieces of peach to a bottle of kombucha when you start the second fermentation.
- Additional flavoring such a fruit, teas and spices etc.
- big jar (4 litre), sterilized
- cloth & rubber band or string
- a funnel
- a sieve
- bottles and lids
Making the tea: In a big pot, boil the water and remove from heat. Add the sugar and let it dissolve into the water. Leave the tea bags in the water until it's cool. Remove teabags and add starter tea. Pour the tea into a large glass jar and carefully add the SCOBY. Cover the opening of the jar with a cloth. Use a rubber band or string to keep a tight fit.
Let the brew ferment for up to 2 weeks. Leave the jar in a dark corner with room temperature. Check it now and then, (if it smells very bad, something has gone wrong and you should throw away the batch). After a week you can start tasting the kombucha which will be very sweet at first and then gradually become more sour and vinegary, as well as being more fizzy. When you reach a level of sourness and sweetness that you like, then it's time for the second fermentation. This usually occurs after 2 weeks.
Time to bottle and carbonate for 2-3 days: Remove the SCOBYS from the batch and gently place them in a smaller jar with 2 cups of the kombucha juice. This will be your starter juice for the next batch. Pour the kombucha into bottles using a funnel and a sieve or a straining cloth. Leave 1/2 inch of space at the top for additional flavorings. Add pieces of fruit, herbs, juices or other flavoring that you can think of. Make sure the lids are firmly closed and set the bottles aside for 2-3 days for a second fermentation. The kombucha carbonates during this period. Stop the fermentation process on the second or third day by refridgerating. Leave in the fridge until serving, wait at least 10 hours before drinking. Drink within a month.

The Shavuos holiday, as Jews around the world celebrate receiving the aseret hadibrot, is also a good time to review the 10 timeless principles of personal finance. With the market crashing, inflation rising and geopolitical turmoil around the world, taking the time to remind ourselves of these core tenets can help investors avoid financial missteps and position them to achieve their financial goals. Let’s go through each of them:
- Cash is king: The foundation of any prudent financial plan is to have at least three to six months’ worth of expense money sitting in cash. As economists and market prognosticators debate the length of this market crash and inflationary environment, the folks with ample cash might be in the best position. Their cash reserves should allow them to sail through these challenging times of more expensive goods or lost jobs relatively unscathed.
- Debt is bad: Many advisors note that borrowing money has both positives and negatives. They are right. In some circumstances, leverage may be quite helpful. However, generally speaking, the people who are not indebted to anybody are in the best shape financially. Even the most sophisticated investors and institutions can run into trouble if they don’t carefully monitor their debt loads. As interest rates continue to rise, there will be no shortage of news stories about companies that went belly up, succumbing to their insurmountable level of indebtedness. Being debt-free is one of the most powerful financial positions.
- A clear understanding of your time horizon is key: One’s time horizon dictates how much risk can prudently be taken within your portfolio. It also keeps rough market conditions in perspective. If you’re a long-term investor, these turbulent markets should not scare you. In fact, it should excite you. It offers you the wonderful opportunity to buy stocks at a meaningful discount compared to what they were trading at just a few months ago. If you are a short-term investor who planned properly, you also should not be scared by the current bear market. Your portfolio should have a large position of cash in preparation for withdrawing the funds. It’s irresponsible to invest without having a clear understanding of when you need to use the money.
- Dollar-cost averaging keeps emotions in check: Dollar-cost averaging is the process of routinely adding money to investments at regular intervals. Every human is emotionally charged. However, emotional decisions have no place in the world of successful investing. The benefit of setting up automated, routine contributions to your investment accounts is that it helps eliminate emotions from your process. It eliminates the desire to time the market, and it increases your ability to build wealth over time.
- Rebalancing allows you to make money without much effort: The act of rebalancing is when one adjusts the weightings of a portfolio as investment values go up and down to maintain their original asset allocation based on risk tolerance. Rebalancing allows one to sell the positions that went up in value, while simultaneously adding to the positions that went down. The old adage in investing is to “sell high, buy low.” This is a way to do just that.
- Diversification is the only free lunch in investing: There is a tendency for investors to find, and pile into, the hot investment du jour. This is great while things are going well, but all companies, sectors, industries, and countries go through cycles. When things go south, having an overly concentrated position in any one area of the market can be devastating. This can be illustrated throughout history, and especially today with the technology-heavy Nasdaq plummeting nearly 28 percent as of this writing. The best way to protect your portfolio from this risk is to have a policy of diversifying across many asset classes.
- Conservative bonds have a place in everyone’s portfolio: When the market is soaring, many investors won’t even look at high-quality fixed income. Today, investors don’t want bonds because they are dropping as interest rates increase. In reality, bonds serve a crucial purpose in all investors’ portfolios. They provide the psychological benefit of minimizing volatility during turbulent markets. They serve as a cushion that allows investors to withdraw funds from assets that didn’t plummet in value as much during a market correction. Lastly, there are rebalancing opportunities when stocks fall in price and the highest-rated bonds tend to appreciate.
- High returns mean a high level of risk: Investors tend to search for the silver bullet of high returns with no risk. When times are good, some folks may believe they found this panacea as their investments continue to rise. However, when the economic conditions turn, they soon realize the actual risk taken. The nature of the risk may come in many forms, including leverage, illiquidity, or poor credit. The bottom line is if you want to potentially achieve high returns, you need to be willing to take a high level of risk.
- Boring over exciting could be the right approach: Investors often confuse an exciting idea with a good investment opportunity. Excitement may be generated from the latest fad, an exclusive deal, or a strategy that promises to trounce the performance of the S&P 500. These “opportunities” are, more often than not, being sold on hype instead of fundamentals. To avoid being lured into one of these situations, pursue an approach of sticking with plain vanilla, boring investments. This may be a combination of blue-chip stocks, index funds, or high-grade bonds. An investor may miss the next hot IPO, but they also won’t get sucked into the next Ponzi scheme. The tradeoff seems worth it.
- Once you win the game, stop playing: Investing can be addicting. It’s important to understand that the main purpose of investing is for one to be able to achieve one’s financial goals. Once an investor reaches that magic number, there is no reason to continue to put that money at risk. The monies accumulated to fund an investor’s goals should be moved out of risky investments. Investors who have reached that point are in the enviable situation of no longer needing to stress over the next market downturn.
The silver lining of a severe market downturn is that it causes investors to reflect. As they introspect, they’re forced to face the cold hard truth of whether they’ve stuck to these timeless investment principles. If they’ve strayed, it could be devastating and set them back many years financially. However, if they stay true to the principles, it should increase their chances of success in the long run.

Why Choose a Natural Hair Dye?
What is the deal with this fuss about choosing natural products? Does it really make that much of a difference what I expose my body to?
Yes. It does. And in this post, I seek to answer why.
Women have always desired gorgeous hair as it is the ultimate signature of feminism, youth, beauty and sexuality. It is common for us women to use our hair colour as an indicator of our personal style, or as a tool to cover emerging grey hair. Hair colour thus is a highly attractive beauty product. But as much as we love our colourful hair, it is a fact that permanent hair dyes contain a mixture of chemicals that may damage your hair and your health. The trick is to choose the most natural hair dye with the least toxins.
Natural Hair Dye Contains Less Toxic Chemicals
In the following are listed six of the most common chemicals, which you should all watch out for when choosing your natural hair dye.
PPD is an ingredient derived from ammonia and is often found in hair colours. The most commonly known risk of PPD is allergy. Many people are to some extent allergic to this substance. And even if you’re not allergic, the effect of PPD is believed to be cumulative. This means that the more you are exposed to the substance, the more likely you are to develop a reaction in time. Allergies should be taken serious, so if you still want to use products with PPD in them, you should do a patch test beforehand to make sure you don’t get an allergic reaction.
Ammonia is a colourless gass that works as a precursor to for example foods and as a building block for various pharmaceutical products, such as hair colours. In hair dyes, ammonia is used to prepare the hair shaft to take in the pigment by opening the hair shaft and cuticle. This process damages the hair because the pH of the hair is raised to a level where it is basically impossible to return to a normal level after colouring. Thus, the hair loses protein and moisture. Furthermore, ammonia is irritant to the skin, eyes and respiratory system, and can cause asthma and breathing difficulties.
Resorcinol is a dihydroxy benzene. Benzene, which is used to make resorcinol, is one of the chemicals known to increase risk of dangerous diseases like cancer. In hair colours, resorcinol formulates with other chemicals to provide a permanent colour effect.
Resorcinol has commonly been linked with hormone disruption and can cause skin irritation. And like PPD, the more you’re exposed to resorcinol, the more sensible you’re likely to become. The affects caused by resorcinol should be taken serious as they suggest a variety of health issues. Besides affecting our health, researchers argue that this substance could be dangerous for the environment as well – another good reason to avoid it.
Parabens are the most commonly used preservative in personal care products. The basic function of parabens is that they stop bacteria and fungus from moving into your favourite beauty products.
Parabens have been victim to much vilification because 1) they can mimic estrogen, and 2) they can be absorbed into our skin and potentially affect our endocrine system. Nothing has been scientifically proven, but researchers well know that estrogen exposure can be linked to breast cancer progression. And therefore, more research is needed on this subject. However, we do know that parabens can be absorbed and detected in blood and urine. This means they could potentially affect and harm our health.
Sodium, potassium and ammonium sulfates are present in hair dyes and bleaches, and are used in concentrations of up to 60 %. BUT concentrations of only 17.5 % have been shown to irritate skin, so when in contact with this chemical, make sure your wash and rinse your skin well after. Persulfates are also toxic when the fumes are inhaled, causing asthma and lung damage.
SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulfate)
This chemical is widely used in many hygiene products such as shampoos. The basic function of SLS is that it allows for better interaction between the product and your hair. This is done by breaking surface tensions and separating molecules.
But how does SLS really affect your body? There are conflicting answers to this question. One thing about SLS that is heavily debated is whether it is a carcinogen. That is, a potential cause of cancer. However, there are currently no scientific evidence that this is the case. But SLS poses other threats to the health of your hair and skin. For example, it can cause irritation to the skin and scalp, even when the level is very low.
Natural Hair Dye Contains More Natural Benefits
The primary reason for choosing a natural hair dye is to avoid the chemicals. However, natural hair products possess other beneficial qualities for your hair and body as well. NATURIGIN’s natural hair dye formula is based on natural ingredients, which all contain certain natural benefits for you and your hair. Fruits, plants and vegetables all possess natural benefits that you can transfer to your hair. Learn more about the benefits of natural and organic ingredients.
Now, just because a natural hair dye contains natural ingredients, it does not mean that there are zero harm in using it. However, the more natural ingredients and the less chemicals, the better the product is for your body. AND! Our experience is that the result you get from a natural hair dye can be just as good – if not better – as from a chemical-stuffed hair dye. I hope you think about these facts the next time you wish to dye your hair.

Four Natural DIY Hair Treatments
After a long winter and with summer waiting just around the corner, your hair might need a little extra attention. In this blog post, I will tell you how to bring your hair back to life and make it shine before summer with simple, natural DIY hair treatment.
The winter months can be hard for you as the cold weather might dry out your hair and scalp. The windy and rainy days and the constant change between outdoor cold and indoor warmth can result in electric and frizzy hair. None of this sounds very nice, and if you don’t take good care of your hair the cold winter can be quite damaging for your locks. Therefore, I’ve decided to test and give you some inspiration for how you can make your own hair treatment.
DIY Hair Treatment for Dry and Frizzy Hair
Dry and frizzy hair is a problem for many of us all year. Besides the everyday tips for how to prevent dry hair, I recommend that you apply a hair treatment on a regular basis. Personally, I strive to use a hair treatment every second week, but you can also do it every week or every month – whichever you prefer. Last week I tested this hair treatment and thought it was really nice.
1 spoon of plain yoghurt
Mash the avocado and mix the two ingredients. Apply on clean and damp hair. Leave it on for approx. 15 minutes and wash out. Depending on how well you mash the avocado, you might need to wash it twice.
DIY Hair Treatment for Greasy Hair
There are certain everyday things you can do to avoid greasy hair. One of them is to use a hair treatment on a regular basis. I would advise, that instead of washing your hair every other day, apply the treatment once a week and then only use shampoo two or three days a week. Test if this method works for you, otherwise, consider whether your shampoo is fitting for your hair.
5 spoons of plain yoghurt
1 spoon of baking soda
1 spoon of fresh lemon juice
Mix the three ingredients. Apply on dry or damp hair and tie the hair with a plastic bag. Leave it on for approx. an hour and wash out.
DYI Hair Treatment for an Itchy Scalp
If you’re struggling with an itchy scalp, consider talking to an expert as the problem might be caused by different things. Like with the two above, there are certain things you can do on an everyday basis. Additionally, you can try out this DIY hair treatment.
2 spoons of fresh lemon juice
2 spoons of jojoba oil
2 spoons of water
Mix the three ingredients. Apply on dry or damp hair. Leave the treatment on for approx. 20 minutes and wash out.
Bonus DIY Hair Treatment
Now this last hair treatment I personally like a lot since I am a big fan of applying oils in my hair in general. If you’re not experiencing any of the above hair problems, but just feel like doing something extra for your hair, this treatment might work for you.
1 spoon of coconut oil
Mash the banana and mix with fluid coconut oil (I just heat it in the microwave for 1 minute). Apply on dry or damp hair. Leave it on for approx. 30 minutes and wash out.
No matter the type of your hair and your particular hair ‘struggle’, applying a hair treatment occasionally, is a good idea. I hope you enjoyed the post and got some inspiration for how to make your own natural and vegan hair product.

Vitamin B – What You Need to Know About the Beauty Vitamin
Last week I wrote a post about hair vitamins and how you can eat you way to healthier hair. Vitamins are essential for your health and beauty, but choosing the right ones can feel like a task that requires a degree. Like I mentioned last week, your hair can tell a lot about your health in general as the two are closely connected and both dependent on vitamins and minerals. Though there are many vitamins and minerals that are crucial for your body, one commonly stands out when it comes to the health of your hair and skin: the vitamin B. Therefore, I have taken a closer look at what vitamin B can do for you – read along to find out.
Vitamin B helps your hair, skin and nails grow effortlessly
If you want shiny, bouncy and fast-growing hair (and who doesn’t want that, really?), a good multivitamin with active B complex is ideal. The ‘active’ part is important because the B vitamin should have a methyl group attached that will make sure we absorb it properly. Naturally, hair growth is not everything (at least not to us). True, natural beauty is doubtlessly connected to your general health and the way you feel and live. For this reason, below I include different vitamins that can all affect the general health of your body – and hereby also your hair. The vitamin B ‘family’ encompasses different types of B’s that have different functions:
Biotin is the #1 vitamin for hair growth and the one that is promoted the most. It is a B complex vitamin that helps produce keratin – a key component for healthy hair. Biotin promotes healthy hair by increasing the hair’s elasticity and protects the hair against dryness. Natural sources for biotin are brown rice, bulgur, green peas, aloe, basil and so on.
Vitamin B12 is one of the vitamins found in vitamin B complex. Active B12 is good source for energy coming from the core as it is required to convert food into fuel for your body. Generally, vitamin B12 provides nourishment to all the cells in your body, including the hair follicles. Additionally, B12 also stimulates hair growth. You can get B12 from meat, egg, fish, cheese and milk.
As stated in last week’s blog post, sleep is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, and thus, of a healthy body. Certain deficiencies in vitamins can interrupt your sleep, and this is the case with vitamin B3. This vitamin is mainly known for its contributions to healthy and nourished skin. However, as it boosts circulation in skin, it may contribute to the health of your scalp, and hereby the health and growth of your hair. Some sources for vitamin B3 are beets, fat fish, sunflower seeds and peanuts.
Vitamin B1 is also known as thiamine and is commonly found in shampoos and conditioners. Like the other B’s, vitamin B1 is easier for your body to absorb when included in a vitamin B complex. If you aim for beautiful, shiny, bold locks, thiamine is a vitamin you will want to make sure you get plenty of. B1 contributes to the growth, strength and volume of your hair – plus, plus and plus! If you want to include vitamin B1 in your diet, you should eat more beans, peas, oat and barley.
Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient that helps your body produce hormones, antibodies, and other important components. Furthermore, it is also essential for breaking down proteins to supply them to your body system. Since hair is largely made of protein, you need a diet rich in protein to secure healthy hair, skin and nails. Ways to get plenty of protein are for example through poultry, fish, potatoes, avocado and banana.
Note: All the B vitamins work better if they are taken complementary. Vitamin B cannot be restored by the body, wherefore they should be consumed through your diet on a regular basis. If you’re in doubt whether you get enough of these vitamins, it can be a good idea to talk to a specialist. Otherwise, just make sure you get enough of the foods mentioned above.
Don’t forget the other vitamins!
Although this post is mainly focused on vitamin B, there are other vitamins and minerals that are essential for you and your hair as well, such as:
Folic and fatty acids
You can read more about some of them in my post Hair Vitamins – Eat Your Way to Healthy Hair.

Nicki Minaj and that fierce ponytail deserve two snaps and a twirl.
Just a few days after she teased a few behind-the-scenes photos from a new shoot, Nicki Minaj has shared a few of the final images that has us saying, “Werk it girl!”
And she may have just hung up her Barbie card for good.
In the new shots, she’s ditched her signature wigs, while rocking some high fashion for the cameras including: a revealing dress by Mark Fast, Versace platform heels, a Moschino jacket and a Laruicci fishnet body suit.
She looks good!
Now, what will the new music sound like!

You can’t get any more personal than seeing people strip down and roll around between the sheets for a photo shoot!
In the March 2014 issue of W Magazine, photographers Mert and Marcus gave a taste of what Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Ciara, Rita Ora, and Pharrell Williams look like in bed for a spread titled, “Pillow Tweet.” They also included Miley Cyrus, who let her nipples come out to play once again.
The black and white collection is meant to show what celebrities may look like while laid up at the crib checking those “@” messages on their social media.
If only we all looked this sexy while randomly checking Twitter -_-

Is the NFL ready for an openly gay football player?
Not if you believe a few NFL executives who wish to remain anonymous.
Before yesterday, Michael Sam was just another draft pick with the possibility of fulfilling his NFL dream, but overnight he’s become front page news. The University of Missouri NFL prospect decided to take a big leap of faith yesterday by coming out to the world, and in doing so, he fell 70 points on the CBS Draft Board, moving from #90 to #160 overnight.
Even more shocking, are the reports that have quoted NFL executives who think that the league is not ready for a gay football player, and because of this, they predict he may not get drafted.
One executive told Sports Illustrated:
The question you will ask yourself, knowing your team, is, ‘How will drafting him affect your locker room?’ And I am sorry to say where we are at this point in time, I think it’s going to affect most locker rooms. A lot of guys will be uncomfortable. Ten years from now, fine. But today, I think CONTINUE READING
Ashanti is out here looking like she has no worries!
This past weekend, she took a break from putting the finishing touches on her new album to hit the beaches of Miami, where she was spotted sunbathing topless. The former Murder Inc. first lady was also joined by a mystery man who kept her company as she pranced around the beach.
Catch the pics:

Aside from winning numerous awards for her first major film role in “12 Years A Slave,” the Yale grad has been featured in numerous prestigious fashion mags across the globe and has become America’s sweetheart.
Unfortunately for Lupita, the world-wide attention and her new found fame have been hard to adjust to.
In the latest issue of New York Magazine, which also features a beautiful spread, she reveals that she was disturbed by a recent run-in with the paparazzi and she now lives in a bubble:
I don’t know who they were waiting for, but they definitely chased me down, which is a startling, disturbing experience. I did not expect it. I went into flight mode.[...]There are so many highlights that are no longer highlights. I’m living a very swollen CONTINUE READING

What is really going on with Tiny and T.I. nowadays?
Last month, the couple, who were once pegged “The Hip Hop Huxtables,” became the subject of separation rumors after T.I. posted a cryptic message implying that the couple had called it quits. To fuel the rumors even more, Tiny began happily flossing her left hand in photos, which no longer bears her wedding ring, and has been posting up backshots on her Instagram.
Of course, this sparked a debate amongst fans on whether or not a mother and wife should be posting up booty pics all over social media, but the only opinion that really counts is her hubby’s, right?
Last night, T.I. finally decided that he had had enough, and he commented under one of her Instagram photos for all to see:

Red, hot and fierce!
Earlier today, she made a splash at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week as she arrived at the Lincoln Center in New York City.

The Big Conversation
Austin voters' rejection on Saturday of a ride-hailing ordinance that had been supported by Uber and Lyft does not seem to be the final word in the matter with state officials now involving themselves in the public policy debate.
State Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, was one of the first out of the gate, announcing on Sunday that he planned to file legislation on the topic for next year's legislative session, the Tribune's Kiah Collier reported.
Blaming "a patchwork of inconsistent and anti-competitive regulations," Schwertner argued in a statement that action by the Legislature was needed.
And he wasn't shy about singling out who he thought was to blame for the ordinance's defeat, saying that "Texas should not accept transparent, union-driven efforts to create new barriers to entry for the sole purpose of stifling innovation and eliminating competition."
Collier also noted that Land Commissioner George P. Bush weighed in via Facebook, writing, “Austin claims to be a forward-thinking city ... This is what happens with liberalism — the government wins and the people lose.”
Disclosure: Uber and Lyft have been financial supporters of The Texas Tribune. A complete list of Tribune donors and sponsors can be viewed here.

Suzuki Esteem ProblemsSqueak type nosie from top of steering gear
A squeak type noise may be noted from the top of the rack and pinion steering gear while turning the steering wheel. This is commonly caused by friction between the steering pinion shaft and its seal. Our technicians recommend to replace the pinion seal and use multi-purpose wheel bearing grease during reassembly to correct this concern.
Our technicians tell us these vehicles are sensitive to fuel quality. Using fuel of marginal quality can result in illumination of the Check Engine Light with misfire or oxygen sensor fault codes stored.
An engine oil leak may develop from the front crankshaft seal due to hardening of the rubber seal. There is a revised seal and sleeve available to correct this concern. Our technicians tell us that changing the oil every 3000 miles may help prolong seal life.

The drama continues as the Glo-sponsored series, The Village Headmaster, heads into its 22nd episode.
As change slowly makes its way into Oja Village, Kabiyesi and his Council of elders have begun to search for new hands to join the council and aid with the development of the Village. Kabiyesi invited Teacher Fadele to the palace and tasked him with finding out the history of installing new chiefs in Oja Village and the necessary criteria to be met. It however seems like Teacher Fadele was left with the impression that he might be the newly chosen chief on the Kabiyesi’s council. Will he still carry out the task given to him by Kabiyesi? Will Teacher Fadele be the chosen chief or will another emerge to take that position?
Meanwhile, justice may have, at last, been served to Madam Gbeke for her role in spreading rumours about Abubakar and Madam Doyin. In this new episode, Madam Doyin can be seen discussing with Abubakar, the punishment meted out to Madam Gbeke by Kabiyesi. Madam Doyin apologises to Abubakar for her outburst at the heat of the moment and invites him to move back into the house with her and her children. His response however left her in shock. Will Abubakar continue to hold a grudge against Madam Doyin for the way she treated him?
In spite of the warnings and punishment issued to her by the Kabiyesi, Madam Gbeke, aka ‘Small Radio Oja’, still finds the art of telling tall tales difficult to resist. While in a discussion with Iya Taju on the life and times of Chief Eleyinmi, she experiences a strange encounter with the alleged deceased Chief and flees. Madam Gbeke also made it her mission to go around the village announcing the return of Chief Eleyinmi’s ghost, while disregarding the Kabiyesi’s warnings to her about spreading unconfirmed news. It seems that there might not be a funeral in Oja Village after all or could this just be the first sighting of a ghost in Oja Village? And what will be Kabiyesi’s reaction to Madam Gbeke’s actions despite his warnings to her? And how will Kabiyesi resolve the news of Chief Eleyinmi’s death and false speculations that’s in circulation in Oja village?
Don’t miss out on the all-new episode 22! Be among the first to watch this exciting new episode on NTA from 8 pm – 9 pm on Sundays; AIT on Wednesdays from 9 pm – 10 pm; and WAP TV on Fridays, from 8 pm – 9 pm.

A 55-year-old truck driver, who tried to evade the police in Kentucky, survived after falling over a 40-foot overpass.
Eugene Lydell of West Palm Beach, Florida, was initially pulled over by the Bellevue police officers on 5 December as he was driving in the wrong direction on the highway, WLEX-TV reported.
The body camera footage showed the police trying to handcuff Lydell who was trying to fight with the officials.
"You're under arrest," one officer can be heard saying before Lydell asked why.
"I need you to put your hands behind your back. Stop!" the officer said to the driver who responded, "I don't have any warrants!"
According to the footage, the police officers lost control of Lydell, who ran and fell over the edge of the overpass. Police can be heard saying that the overpass was roughly 40 feet high.
The police called for backup as they searched for the driver. A K-9 officer had arrived to look for Lydell, who upon seeing the dog, allegedly put the hound in a chokehold.
"Get off my dog!" an officer repeatedly shouted, as Lydell claimed the dog was "biting" him.
The officers then shocked Lydell with a stun gun and handcuffed him, the WLEX reported.
Officers were shocked as to how Lydell was still alive.
"I thought he was dead. When we were looking over the side, he, he was — I mean, he fell over, and it was a flat smack right on his back," an officer is heard saying. "I don't know how he's still living."

Is it fair to say that Cameron Crowe has been on a bit of a losing streak? The 58-year-old filmmaker has had a rough go of things with his last three non-doc feature films (Aloha, We Built a Zoo and Elizabethtown) being received about as lovingly as dog poo stuck between two Iggy Azalea EPs. Those of us rooting for a return to form for Crowe have our eyes locked his new Showtime series, Roadies, and now there’s a freshly crafted trailer to dig through.
The latest entry into the Roadies trailer parade arrived today and it has the Almost Famous director once again back in the world of rock, this time in a 10 episode pay cable format. As you might suspect, this preview features loads of good looking people doing things backstage at rock concerts and the astute observation of “you people LOVE drama.” Indeed they do, although apparently stalkers and firecrackers are frowned upon in this dramasphere.
Here’s the helpful summary of the show provided by Showtime:
Roadies gives an insider’s look at the reckless, romantic, funny and often poignant lives of a committed group of “roadies” who live for music and the de facto family they’ve formed along the way. The music-infused ensemble comedy series chronicles the rock world through the eyes of music’s unsung heroes and puts the spotlight on the backstage workers who put the show on the road while touring the United States for a successful arena-level band. Starring Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino and Imogen Poots.
This is the point in our “hey, Roadies has a new trailer!” tour where we mention that Carla Gugino’s part was originally set to be played by Christina Hendricks. We choose to believe that Luke Wilson looking cheery and satisfied in a somewhat crowded bed was also part of the plan.
Crowe told the Los Angeles Times that this project has been kicking around for a while. Roughly eight years, in fact.
It came from a conversation with J.J. Abrams. He called me and goes “You know maybe this is weird and you never want to do it, but if you ever want to do TV, let’s do it together. And what if it’s about music? And I was at this concert last night and I looked up and there was this young woman who was on a rigging tower…” and it just took off from there. (Laughs.) And we pitched out the whole show.
Roadies is will premiere on Showtime on June 26.

Coronavirus harming our economic health – but government programs can help businesses survive
By Newt Gingrich (original source Fox News)
“The coronavirus has effectively shut down the American economy. As the federal government advises social distancing and governors across the country implement stay-at-home orders to mitigate the virus, Americans are not going out to spend money.
In this environment, many businesses are struggling to survive, forced to lay off workers. Indeed, the economy shed 701,000 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate rose from 3.5 percent the prior month to 4.4 percent, according to the latest jobs report. The situation is going to get worse in the coming weeks before it gets better.
President Trump signed the CARES Act into law to provide economic relief to individuals and businesses facing hardships, even economic ruin, because of this pandemic. The massive stimulus package, with a price tag of $2.2 trillion, is necessary to address an unprecedented situation.”

Wicketkeeper and former captain Denesh Ramdin has been left out, in keeping with what he had tweeted last week.Left-hand batsman Leon Johnson gained a recall, while there was no place for experienced quick Kemar Roach after his poor showing in West Indies previous Test assignment, the series in Australia last December.Fast bowler Jerome Taylor also did not feature in the 12-man squad. Taylor, 32, who had played 46 Tests for West Indies since debuting in 2003, had informed the board that he is retiring from the longest format, the WICB said in a release. He will continue to be available in the shorter formats.The WICB also said that Ramdin was sanctioned for his outburst in relation to his non-selection. In Ramdins absence, Dowrich will take over wicketkeeping duties. He was designated wicketkeeper in the Indians first warm-up game, in which Johnson and Chase also featured for the West Indies Cricket Board Presidents XI, though none had much success.Both Johnson and Chase had enjoyed a good run in West Indies regional first-class tournament in 2015-16. Johnson was a key cog in Guyanas triumphant campaign, topping the run charts with 807 runs at 57.64, while Chase was fourth on the table, with 710 runs at 59.16 for Barbados.Shannon Gabriel is the only specialist fast bowler in the 12-man squad, with seam-bowling allrounders Carlos Brathwaite and captain Jason Holder being the other pace options. Legspinner Devendra Bishoo is the only specialist slow bowler in the squad.The others to miss out from West Indies squad that toured Australia are left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, fast bowler Miguel Cummins and batsman Shai Hope, who had hit an unbeaten century in the tour game.The first Test against India begins on July 21 in Antigua, followed by Tests in Jamaica, St Lucia and Trinidad.

His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months. SAINT-DENIS, France -- France puts its formidable record in finals on the line when the European Championship hosts try to deny Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal a first major football title on Sunday.French players have lifted the trophy in three of four finals over 32 years: Euro 84 and the 1998 World Cup on home soil, as well as Euro 2000.A nation still scarred by last years terror attacks will seek sporting salvation from its football heroes and a chance to party again in the streets of Paris, where security has been intense during the tournament.French law enforcement authorities pledged extremely high security in Paris for Sundays final, with thousands of police patrolling as hundreds of thousands of fans mass in the French capital.Security forces have three key venues to protect: The Stade de France stadium hosting the final -- outside of which three suicide bombers blew themselves up last year, the 92,000-capacity fan zone in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, and the Champs-Elysees boulevard, which will likely be swamped with fans after the match.Mathias Vicherat, the Paris Mayors chief of staff, said some 1,900 police and other security officers would patrol the fan zone, while the citys police chief, Michel Cadot, said 3,400 officers would patrol the Champs-Elysees, some of them redeployed from the stadium and fan zone after the final kicks off.Portugals most famous player since Eusebio warned the French not to underestimate Portugal.They are, in my opinion, favorites because they are playing at home and thats a big advantage, Ronaldo said. The whole country is going to support them, but ... were going to be difficult to beat.The Portuguese, however, are perennial also-rans on the big occasion, reaching only one final in their history 12 years ago and losing at home to unfancied Greece. Determined tto foil French celebrations, Portugal defender Pepe hopes Sundays Euro 2016 final will replicate Euro 2004 in Portugals favor this time, with the hosts upset again by the outsiders.ddddddddddddhat would be amazing, coach Fernando Santos said. We want to bring great joy to the Portuguese people.The final at the Stade de France will be Portugals 35th European Championship game, the most any team has played in the tournament without ever lifting the cup. Ronaldo, who has collected every major honor in club football, will not want his international career ending trophyless like compatriot Eusebio.Its something that I always dreamed of, said Ronaldo, whose side has won just once in 90 minutes at Euro 2016. It would be a huge achievement if I could win something with Portugal.For a generation of France players this is their first major final, particularly Antoine Griezmann, the star of his home tournament with six goals heading into the final -- double Ronaldos tally.Griezmann was just a teenager starting out his professional career at Real Sociedad when French football experienced one of its lowest points at the 2010 World Cup. The nation was stunned when the squad in South Africa went on strike in training to protest against striker Nicolas Anelka being sent home for insulting then-coach Raymond Domenech.It has taken six years for France to regain the adulation of its fan base.We left a negative image of French football around the world, defender Bacary Sagna said through a translator. We had to go right back to basics to get the public on our side again. Weve done a great deal of work to get into a final six years later. We want to put a smile on the faces of the French people.

Study: No Clear Relationship Between Twins & Psychopathy
It’s been established for some time that genes play a significant role in the makeup of those people who are eventually labelled psychopaths. But where does that leave identical twins who are very similar genetically? A new case study published in European Psychiatry,* explains the case of a 18-year old twin diagnosed with psychopathy. The 18-year-old twin was in prison for several crimes such as drug dealing, violent theft and multiple aggressions.
* European Psychiatry is the official journal of the European Psychiatric Association. The European Psychiatry Association is the largest international association of psychiatrists in Europe.
Exhibited cruelty to animals
The 18-year old male twin caught early psychological and psychiatric attention for disruptive behavior as a child. His behavior was described as aggressive, he lied repeatedly, seemed low on empathy and showed indifference to punishment. He tried escaping from home, defied his parents and teachers, exhibited cruelty against animals, committed robbery, vandalism and had drug abuse issues. The researchers used the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL) to evaluate his psychopathology. Out of a maximum score of 40, the cutoff for psychopathy is 30. The 18-year old twin got 34 points.
Twin brother with normal personality
The researches concluded that the 18-year old twin is a psychopath. His twin brother, on the other hand, is described as having a normal personality and as being a brilliant student.
The twin boys came from a well-structured family, none of them with criminal history or mental disorders. The researches concluded based on the case study that there is no clear relationship between twins and psychopathy.

Both internal and external migration is mainly seasonal. About 25,900 Sudanese and 21,500 Chadian war refugees were in the country in 1995. As of 1999, there were 34,831 Sudanese refugees and 3,590 Chadians, a residual group of the influxes in 1994 and 1998. Refugees from the DROC also arrived in the Central African Republic in January and July 1999. Many settled on their own; however, the government was attempting to relocate all to the Boubou refugee camp. Repatriation efforts were underway in 1999. Some 1,500 Chadians were ready to return home, and some 500 from the DROC had requested assistance to return to Kinshasa. The net migration rate for the country in 2000 was 0.5 migrants per 1,000 population. The total number of migrants was 59,000, of which 95% were refugees. The government views the emigration level as too high.


How to turn a WhatsApp voice message into a text message? Here are the tricks to make audio readable without the need to listen.
The audio messages on WhatsApp, cross and delight for many users: fast and intuitive and sometimes tremendously long, so much to want to be able to turn them into a text message.
How many times have you been able to receive that little audio message on WhatsApp and to be unable to listen to it: at work or for other commitments, there are several tricks to convert a voice note into a text message, so you can read it quickly without any difficulty.
Obviously, to turn an audio message into text you have to resort to the use of external apps, available for iOS and Android. Here are what they are and how they work.
WhatsApp, from voice to text: Audio to Text
Audio To Text is an application available for both the App Store and the Google Play Store that allows an audio message to be transcribed automatically, so that it can be easily read and consulted.
Using Audio To Text for WhatsApp is really simple: download the application and install it. Once you’ve done this, open WhatsApp and choose the audio message you want to turn into text. Press and hold on the iPhone to open the drop-down menu and click on the “Forward” option, same thing on an Android device: press for a few seconds on the selected voice and choose Forward.
Now, in the lower right corner you will find the “Share” button characterized by the corresponding symbol, a square with an arrow, keep it pressed to open a series of sharing options (between e-mail, messenger etc.). Among these, if enabled, you will find the icon corresponding to Audio to Text.
Press the symbol to be redirected directly into the app, where the required WhatsApp audio will start to be transcribed inside a green baloon.
The app is quite precise, and works best with voice messages that are not too long: the punctuation will obviously miss some words, but the original sense of the message sent to us will remain intact and perfectly clear. Audio To Text for WhatsApp can also be used for other applications, such as Telegram and Line (but not for Facebook Messenger).
Another great app to convert audio to text is Speechless, which also enjoys excellent reviews, and allows you to select the language in which we want to transcribe our voice message.
The use of the application is actually very similar to the previous one. Once downloaded and installed just follow the same path: press and hold the chosen audio, click on forward -> share button -> Speechless icon.
Here you will be prompted for the language of the audio message to be transcribed, select the corresponding language and wait for the upload: once completed, the text of your voice will be ready to be read and consulted. Also for Speechless it is possible to choose to use it for Telegram, Line and vocal notes.


Flushing, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Matt Harvey earned the win in his return to
Citi Field as the New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 on
Harvey (2-0), who was sidelined during the 2014 season after Tommy John
surgery, gave up three runs on five hits with eight strikeouts and no walks
over six innings. It was his first home start since Aug. 24, 2013.
Lucas Duda drove in three runs and doubled twice, Daniel Murphy
homered and Curtis Granderson scored twice for New York, which has won three
The Mets lost two players during the course of the game. Outfielder Michael
Cuddyer left the game with a left hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch
during the second inning and third baseman David Wright exited during the
eighth with a pulled right hamstring.
Chase Utley finished 3-for-3 with two homers and three RBI, while Jeff
Francoeur and Cody Asche also homered for the Phillies, who had starter David
Buchanan (0-2) give up five runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 frames in the loss.
Harvey didn’t get off to the start he wanted as Utley drove a breaking ball
just over the wall in right field for an early 1-0 lead, but his team
responded for him in the home half.
Cuddyer’s grounder kicked off the mound and into center field to score
Granderson, who got aboard with a leadoff single.
With the bases loaded and two outs in the second, Duda cleared them with a
liner down the right-field line for a double and a 4-1 game.
Ben Revere opened the top of the third with a single to right, moved to second
on Buchanan’s sacrifice bunt and rounded third on Utley’s liner to left to get
the Phillies within two runs.
Asche crushed a fastball for a towering homer to right field with one out in
the fourth to make it a 4-3 game.
The Phillies threatened in the fifth. Buchanan looked to help his own cause by
chopping a liner down the right-field line for a leadoff double, Utley was hit
by a pitch with two outs and Ryan Howard reached on catcher’s interference.
Harvey, however, escaped the jam by inducing an inning-ending popout from
In the bottom half, Duda hit a leadoff double, came around third on Travis
d’Arnaud’s single to right and slid into home, beating Revere’s throw from
left field to restore New York’s two-run advantage.
After the Mets left the bases loaded in the sixth, Murphy padded the lead in
the seventh with a leadoff blast off Dustin McGowan for a 6-3 score.
Utley countered by driving a Sean Gilmartin fastball over the wall in right-
center field to start the eighth for his second homer of the night.
Francoeur stroked a solo shot with one out in the ninth, but Jeurys Familia
struck out the next two batters to earn his third save of the season.
Harvey improved to 5-0 in six career starts against Philadelphia … Cuddyer
left the game during the second with a left hand contusion after getting hit
by a pitch … Mets manager Terry Collins was ejected from the game after
arguing catcher’s interference during the fifth … The Mets will send left-
handed pitcher Jonathon Niese to the mound against Phillies’ right-hander in
the series finale on Wednesday.
