Seizures and glaucoma at birth. Purple facial birthmark. Lifetime of treatment. No cure, yet. Help us help those with port wine birthmark conditions.
Real LifeImagine if you or a family member were born with a rare disease (under 200,000 cases) that rarely receives attention from the media, research and/or medical community it deserves?
Imagine holding your premature infant, doctors and medical staff not knowing what is wrong, suggesting possible bruising or port wine stain, possible blindness, possible mental retardation - they are not 100% sure as they are reading the same information you are from the web.
Imagine your daughter having her first seizure at 2½ years old, needing immediate brain surgery for a possible aneurism or brain cancer to finally learn she has Sturge-Weber syndrome. Imagine all of this within a two day span with no prior symptoms other than a port wine stain on the top of her head. Imagine being told the seizures would be recurrent, she could go blind, become mentally retarded and she could possibly die by the time she turned 5 years old.
Imagine it is your job to educate doctors about your child's medical condition call Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome (KT) and you have to research the treatment plans for your child because the condition is so rare. Imagine worrying about the veins taking over part of his body, stopping his body from growing the way it should.
Thank you for your consideration to help families you may never meet, with conditions you may never have heard of before. The Sturge-Weber Foundation started with a spark and we need you to help carry the torch.

Naspers chief executive Bob van Dijk told TOI in an exclusive interview that the online food delivery sector in India looks similar to how ecommerce was in 2005, as it is poised to grow by a huge multiple from where it is currently.
Google will invest $550 million in Chinese e-commerce powerhouse JD.com, part of the U.S. internet giant's efforts to expand its presence in fast-growing Asian markets and battle rivals including Amazon.com.
Kothari, who joined Snapdeal from real estate portal Housing in January last year, will move to Infibeam as its president, leading the strategy, corporate development, international operations and investor relations functions at India’s first listed ecommerce entity.
In April, Paytm Mall had closed USD 445 million funding round from SoftBank Investment Holdings and Alibaba.com Singapore E-commerce.
As India’s startups enjoy green shoots of a funding resurgence, SoftBank’s looming presence is occupying a lot of mindspace. Its steps will be closely watched.
VC deals in May 2018 recorded 44 deals at $310 million, growing 22% in volume and 30% in value year-on-year.
About 50 per cent of all Paytm transactions are made by users in tier II cities and beyond
How Sachin Bansal fell out with his biggest backer Tiger Global's Lee Fixel
More than 70 percent of the region's 600 million-plus people do not use banks - higher than the global average of about 30 percent - and e-commerce is projected to hit $88 billion by 2025.
SoftBank’s move to exit Flipkart in just less than a year of it investing in the web retailer leaves it with only a solo bet on Paytm Mall.
SoftBank, which invested close to $2.5 billion in Flipkart through its Vision Fund, is expected to make close to $4 billion on its investment.
A week after the Walmart-Flipkart deal, employees and start-up entrepreneurs are still talking about it.
PremjiInvest will make more than $130 million on its $25 million (Rs 155 crore) investment in Myntra in early 2014.
Alibaba and Softbank are reportedly looking to park millions in the Gurgaon-based company. Why does this indomitable pair see a recipe for success in Zomato?
SoftBank is the largest shareholder in cab hailing applications Ola and Uber, both of which acquired and launched food delivery services last year, respectively.
“The long term goal is to sell 10 million tickets per month,” said Abhishek Rajan, vice-president at Paytm and head of the company’s travel business.
Paytm, which already offers users the option of transferring funds between their mobile wallets, opened up bank transfers using UPI and IMPS.

A coalition of clean energy, labor, business, religious and other groups is calling for half the power produced in the state to come from renewable sources by 2030 — 40 percent from sources such as wind energy plus another 10 percent from solar.
In 2007, Minnesota set a standard of roughly 25 percent from renewable sources by 2025. “Now we must build on that foundation and take a next big step forward,” said Michael Noble, executive director of St. Paul-based Fresh Energy.
Noble and others announced the launch of the “Minnesota Clean Energy & Jobs” campaign Tuesday, March 5, at a news conference near the state Capitol.
The group — comprising more than 30 organizations — said the wind industry already has created 3,000 jobs in Minnesota and that the new solar standards would create more than 2,000 more.
Noble said he doesn’t expect the increased renewable standards would raise power costs for consumers. Under the standards set in 2007, he said, 11 of 13 utilities showed “either no cost increase or downward pressure on their electric rates.”
Solar is currently more expensive, Noble said. But, he added, costs should moderate as the industry expands.
In addition to the renewable energy standards, the group is calling for incentives for power companies to promote and increase energy efficiency and for cutting government red tape to facilitate local power generation.
The package of proposals is being carried in the Legislature by Democratic-Farmer-Labor Sens. Chris Eaton of Brooklyn Center and Kevin Dahle of Northfield, along with DFL House members Will Morgan of Burnsville and Frank Hornstein of Minneapolis.
A separate bill introduced last week at the Capitol also aims to increase the use of solar and other clean energy in Minnesota and would set solar electricity generation standards for utilities.
Laura McCarten, regional vice president with Xcel Energy, issued a statement Tuesday expressing caution on the proposals. She said the firm has been working with Gov. Mark Dayton’s administration, lawmakers and interest groups to develop energy policy that won’t unnecessarily increase costs for consumers.
“There is a lot of interest this session in expanding renewable energy, particularly from solar. We have a lot of experience in this area and know that the costs and benefits will depend on whether we get the rules right going in,” McCarten said.
“Regarding the costs of renewable energy, the vast majority of renewable power on our system is wind power, and it has been cost-effective and has provided a good value for our customers. We also have small amounts of other renewables in our portfolio — biomass and solar power — which currently are far more expensive than wind. That’s why we advocate a cautious approach.”

Amid the hubbub and excitement, much was made during Cumberland County High School Class of 2019 graduation about the majority of the 204 students who received honors, awards and scholarships. And rightfully so.
But while it’s easy to focus on those heading off to college, some family members in the audience noticed at last night’s commencement exercises, four students received no official recognition for their chosen path.
One parent told 1057 News, “The four that have enlisted to serve in the armed forces and protect our freedoms were not acknowledged at all.”
Those four are Jesse Willenburg and Micheal Meillarec, who joined the U.S. Marines, and Devon Covey and John Quinn, who enlisted in the U.S. Air Force.
1057 News congratulates all members of the Class of 2019 across the listening area and wishes you much success in your chosen paths.


By Gregg Bell, AP Sports Writer
SPOKANE, Wash. One day into the NCAA tournament, and much of the country already thinks it has found this year's George Mason.
Nope, too late. Winthrop is already more well-known than the little commuter school in Virginia that shockingly advanced to last year's Final Four. And, after two consecutive one-and-dones in the NCAA tournament, Winthrop is already too testy to be the cute little underdog.
These Eagles reward each other with junkyard dog action figures for the grittiest performance after games.
"I think 'This year's George Mason,' that's just more giving people something to say," Winthrop senior guard Torrell Martin said, tersely and without being asked.
"I think we're this year's Winthrop. And that's what we're going to go out and play like."
That could be a huge problem for Notre Dame (24-7). The sixth seed in the Midwest Region meets the 11th-seeded Eagles (28-4) in an NCAA tournament first-round game Friday afternoon.
"With all due respect to Notre Dame, this is the best team that we've taken," Winthrop coach Gregg Marshall said of his Eagles, who entered the previous tournaments as a 14 and 15 seed.
"Just in that regard, having nothing to do with the opponent, it's our best chance to advance."
Ask mighty North Carolina, which trailed the Eagles by 12 in November before rallying to win. Ask Wisconsin, which was losing at home to Winthrop with a minute left in December before the Badgers scrambled to escape in overtime. Or yet another high-profile team, Maryland, which came from behind early to beat the Eagles.
No need to ask Notre Dame. The Irish know Winthrop entered The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in school history last week, at No. 24. They know Winthrop's only other loss this season was at Texas A&M, another tournament team that spent much of this season in the top 10. They know Winthrop is the first team in the 22-year history of the Big South Conference to finish league play undefeated.
So many Irish players were calling Winthrop "Big East caliber" on Thursday, it was as if they were claiming squatters' right on a petition for Winthrop's entry into their mega-conference. Coach Mike Brey noted two Eagles - Martin, a 6-foot-5 guard, and Craig Bradshaw, a 6-10 center from New Zealand who can shoot 3-pointers - have been invited to an NBA pre-draft tryout camp, the Portsmouth (Va.) Invitational.
Notre Dame of the Big East conference has one.
"They have length like Big East teams we've played against," Brey said. "And speed, skill and quickness on the perimeter.
"We went through our scouting report like we were preparing for Louisville or Villanova.
"They are a heck of a basketball team. But we feel we're playing pretty darn well. We're dreaming big dreams, too, now ... believe me."
Notre Dame's dreams seemed too big for many, after the Big East's media picked it for 11th this season. Brey mentioned the slight again on Thursday.
The Irish also had to deal with the indefinite suspension in late December of point guard Kyle McAlarney because of a marijuana possession charge.
But in his second start for McAlarney, then-18-year-old true freshman Tory Jackson scored 14 points and had five rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots to lift Notre Dame to a stirring, 16-point win over Louisville. With Jackson running a three-guard offense led by All-Big East shooters Russell Carter and Colin Falls, Notre Dame has won six of seven. The only defeat was to Big East champion Georgetown, 84-82, in the conference tournament.
"He was fabulous," Brey said of Jackson since he took over. "I don't know if a young guy has ever been thrown into a tougher situation in the history of our program. Talk about delivering and getting better and more confident.
"We've got good karma, man."
Winthrop has plenty of that, too. Eighteen consecutive victories, three consecutive NCAA berths and a team of three seniors and two juniors - the latter group including leading scorer Michael Jenkins (15.3 points per game) - tend to create that as well.
The Eagles also have the "Junkyard Dog."
After Winthrop lost by three in overtime in Madison, Wisc., on Dec. 4, one reporter kept saying the Eagles fought like "junkyard dogs" that day. Since then, they've adopted an action figure of the WWE wrestler of the same name as its motivational mascot - dog collar and all. They hand out the wrestler to the toughest playing teammate following each game.
"Initially, there was a little apprehension on the players' parts," Marshall said. "But now they're a little jealous if they don't get it.
"We've got it on the trip."
Jenkins wants Winthrop to finally get an NCAA tournament win.
"For the past few years, people have been saying we're going to upset people, how good we are," Jenkins said. "And we haven't fit the bill yet."

People developed a love for photography over centuries ago, and since then, the cameras underwent drastic evolutions. Earlier cameras were not as handy as today but, their technique remained the same. The modern digital cameras also work on the same pattern as the old cameras, but it is more enhanced today. The working of a camera depends on various factors, and which lens is used in the camera is an essential aspect for the quality of images developed from them. Today you will know in detail how does a digital camera work.
1. What is the History of Camera?
The development of technologies leads to the development of chemistry and optics too. The world’s first camera was made by Alphonse Giroux in 1839. It was a daguerreotype camera, which used copper sheets for the print and a thin silver coat but, there were no negative films.
Later in the mid-1800, the use of photographic films was pioneered by George Eastman. He started manufacturing paper film in 1885, and towards 1889 he started the manufacture of celluloid. The first camera made by Eastman was called Kodak, and it was made available for sale in1888. Before you know how does a digital camera work and about the technology used in it, you should read about the first-ever photograph taken and its name, in the next segment. (See When Were Numbers invented?)
2. Who took the first Photograph?
The first-ever picture was clicked by a French Scientist Nicephore Niepce in 1826. This event took place after the camera obscura was invented. Niepce was standing at the window of his house when he took the picture and so was named Window at Le Gras. (Also read Who Invented Lamborghini?)
3. What is Digital Camera and What are its Functions?
It is a photographic device that produces and stores the image clicked into the memory card instead of a photographic film. The first digital camera was developed by a Kodak engineer, Steven Sasson in 1975.
- The camera recorded the picture on cassette tape within 23 seconds and the latest ones only took a few seconds to process. So the image clicked with a digital camera is instantly visible on the inbuilt screen.
- Steven developed it with some Motorola parts, a movie camera lens, and 16 batteries. He also included Fairchild CCD electronic sensors which were a new invention then.
- It also has functions like recording movies and sounds with different video effects.
- It also enables the user to delete unwanted images directly from the camera.
Now the question is, how does a digital camera work? How does it serve both the purpose of clicking and transferring the same to the computer through an output cable? Let’s cover all the details in the next segments. (Also read What is a Mood Ring?)
4. What are the Parts of a Digital Camera?
To understand the working of a digital camera, you should know about its parts first.
- The processor chip is like a brain for a digital camera, and it controls all its vital functions of it. It is a part of the integrated circuit.
- Aperture enables the user to set the diameter for the opening of the lens in the camera. It is automatically set, but in a DSLR the user can set them according to their requirement. (Also read All Battery Sizes with Pictures)
- Focal length is basically the distance between the lens and the sensor. The user needs to set it for a crisp image.
- The image sensor is the light detector that uses Charged Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is an essential thing for how does a digital camera work.
- The lens is for catching the light from the object which you are capturing and it will focus it on charged coupled device. Lenses are available in different varieties like fixed-focus, optical-zoom, digital zoom, and replaceable lenses.
- A Flash lamp gives off a xenon light enabling us to take a clear picture in dark or low light.
- Flash capacitor is for providing energy to the flash lens for firing a strong flash.
- LED is a small light indicator that blinks when we put the camera on the timer for clicking self-images.
- The USB connector is the slot in the camera that helps in taking the output of images. The USB wire is connected to the camera and computer for transferring the media files from the camera.
- A secure digital card slot (SD) enables you to enter a flash memory card into the camera for storing the media files. (Also read How to Remove Small Stripped Screws?)
5. Which Lens is used in Camera?
Commonly cameras use a convex lens that has a large focal length. However, a variety of lenses are now available depending upon the type of camera and image you want to obtain from it. These lenses have their categories and they are:
- Prime lenses are the old school type because you cannot zoom in or out without them as this lens provides an amazing image for the focal length it came with. How does a digital camera work if you have a 35 mm prime lens, is it just by getting a perfect landscape photo as suggested by experts?
- Zoom lenses are the basic type of lens, that is, applicable for photographing everything. They are available in the range of 70 mm to 200 mm. But for capturing wildlife from a distance, professionals prefer lenses with a focal range of 18 mm to 270 mm.
- Wide-angle lenses have a wide focal field. It means your camera can see a wide area without zooming, and it is perfect for landscape photography. These lenses are available in the range of 16 mm to 35 mm, respectively.
- Telephoto lenses are available in the ranges of 100 mm to 600 mm or more. But at the same time, this feature makes them bulky and expensive for normal photography. It is mostly preferred by professionals, filmmakers, nature photographers, etc.
- The fish-eye lens is incorporated in cameras because they provide an ultra-wide angle for pictures and videos. This lens comes with the shortest focal length of just 8mm and is used for indoor fun, designing work, etc. (See How Does A Magnifying Glass Work?)
6. Do you Know the Working of a Camera?
When the button is pressed, an aperture opens, which allows the light streams to enter into it through the lens. It may look like an ordinary camera, but how does a digital camera work, is different from others as instead of a photographic film, a digital camera uses electronic equipment.
The light of the object is zoomed into the camera lens, and then it hits the image sensor chip. As the light hits the image sensor chip, the image it brought with it broke into million pieces, known as pixels. Now, the image sensor CCD or CMOS will measure each of these million pixels for their color and brightness. And this data is saved into the processor as a number. (Also read How do Earbuds Work?)
As a result, the image you took is saved in the processor of a camera, and every image is a collection of millions of pixels having a series of data in numerical format. So, this is how does a digital camera work generally. You are now well aware of which type of lens is used in camera and their effects on the working of a camera.

Delta State Governor, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa, has called on top government officials in charge of policy formulation and implementation to remain focused in the discharge of their duties.
Governor Okowa made the call while declaring a two-day retreat organised for top government functionaries closed at the Unity Hall, old Government House, Asaba.
- Electoral Act: We may go to court, FG reacts to Senate’s rejection of Buhari’s request
- Unlawful exclusion: Court nullifies NECO staff promotion examination
According to him, the call had become necessary as it would immensely go a long way in enabling his administration to finish strong in delivering dividends of democracy to Deltans.
Okowa, who said the politics of the year 2023 would not derail his developmental effort for Deltans, advised all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to offer suggestions that would keep the state in tandem with the modern trend in terms of sustainable development.
He said his cardinal goal in the remaining 14 months of his administration was to leave lasting legacies and not to embark on projects without a direct impact on the lives of the people.
According to the governor, anybody in the cabinet with political ambition should resign so as not to derail the government from meeting its set developmental targets for Deltans.
“A lot of people are already being distracted because of politics, there is no doubt as to that. Some of us are resigning to go and run elections and l wish everybody well.
“But for those of us who are not resigning, we must understand that we need to stay focused. They should stay with the tide of governance.
“I want to advise us that we must understand that as long as we are in government, we should remain focused on achieving the goal to the end and try to ensure the success of the administration that we are working; that must be our priority.
“Politics is supposed to be secondary. So, we must be cautious of what we do.
“I am not insisting that everybody must work along with me but in the governance process, you must stay focused, otherwise, you also have the right to turn in your paper that you may not be able to go along with me, and l will gladly receive it,” he said.
The Governor lauded the wealth creation office for toeing the policy direction of his administration and promised to do more in skills development and empowerment.
Senator Okowa reminded the project monitoring office of the need to sustain its monitoring efforts to enable the state government to finish all ongoing projects before embarking on new ones.
In his remarks, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief Patrick Ukah, said the retreat was primarily organised to remind top government functionaries of their responsibilities and the need to assist in the finishing strong agenda of the Okowa-led administration.
In his presentation during the retreat, a former Minister of Information, Mr Frank Nweke (Jnr.) said policies must be people-centred, adding that government should leverage the use of technology to positively impact the socio-economic well-being of the people.
Speaking on the topic titled “Plan Development And Implementation In Nigeria,” the Senior Policy Adviser to the governor, Prof. Sylvester Monye said the only way sustainable development could be achieved is through effective planning, pointing out that implementation was more important in the planning process.

Posted: Wednesday – September 30, 2009
Kid Cudi, spokesman for the pre-labeled and misunderstood, is releasing his debut album Man On The Moon: End Of Day on September 15th. Backed by the creative genius that is Kanye West, and featured in the press as a leader of the new school/generation, expectations for the artist and his debut album are high, even though the hip hop community overall is still unconvinced. Luckily for his fans , Cudi seems completely uninterested in finding his niche in the Hip Hop community, but instead inspires to create a world of his own. As a warning, this is not a rap album, one could even argue whether or not it meets up to Hip Hop’s standards. To borrow words from Anna Nalick’s song 2 A.M. (it is oddly appropriate) “…these words are (his) diary screaming out loud” and Kid hopes that “…by getting them all down, they’ll no longer threaten the life they belong to.” The album is narrated by Common and split up into five different sections or acts.
During the first act, The End Of Day, we are introduced to the mind we will be perusing through for remainder the CD. The title of the act is fitting as night is the time most set aside for reflecting. In My Dreams finds Cudi singing about how his dreams are mini-vacations from reality where everything is right and all his needs and desires are met. The song moves along slowly and although Cudi is fairly understandable, you don’t really get the message until the spoken word from Common at the end. Soundtrack To My Life has a dope opening line albeit not completely original, “I’ve got 99 problems and they all bitches.” Although the song’s tour through Cudi’s complicated emotional makeup requires thought the production from Emile coupled with Cudi’s flow makes it possible for the listener to completely miss what is being said. It may not be intentional, or it could be genius as it also lends to how Cudi says his sorrow was able to fly under the radar from family and friends.
Act II: Rise Of The Night Terrors is the best of the best. In this section the beautifully dark, Solo Dolo (Nightmare), a song capable of making a smiling man’s happiness seem temporary and justify the sadness of every depressed person whose felt like an exception that life’s good times avoided. Heart Of A Lion (Kid Cudi Theme) smells like a leftover from Kanye’s 808 and Heartbreaks, but it’s hot nonetheless. Act III: Taking A Trip features danceable tracks and an apparently forever mellow Kid Cudi. During Act IV: Stuck, the synth that was there all along gets kicked into overdrive, probably due to the presence of the electronic music duo Ratatat and synth-pop group MGMT. Cudi Zone which reminds you not only that Cudi raps, but also takes you in with the chorus, making you want to close your eyes, sway to the tune of the synths and sing along. The mesmerizing Pursuit Of Happiness which features both Ratatat and MGMT is one of the few songs on the album which actually lifts up the listener and inspires them for days ahead. Act V: A New Beginning takes us to the end of the night, daybreak is right around the bend and the Xanax has just kicked in. All the problems have been ripped through and put back together, neatly placed under his pillow for the next day’s night. His brave face is on and he stands ready for whatever comes next.
Cudi deserves respect for delving into topics that most in the Hip Hop community won’t touch or even admit exist, and if this could be defined as a Hip Hop album there is chance that he would get it. While this album masterfully mixes several different genres such as electronica, pop, and alternative rock; Hip Hop isn’t so elastic (perhaps a problem he will fix), and the album will be probably be cast off as “other”. There is not a bad song on the album, the elusive 5 star rating is held a half-point away because one can’t say with confidence that this is an album you can listen to seamlessly, even the most tortured of souls would need a break. This is for those comfortable being eclectic, the weirdos who can go from singing B-52’s Love Shack to Q-Tip’s Getting Up without skipping a beat. To say it is an “acquired taste” may be an understatement, but Cudi gives you the opportunity to broaden your horizons and became a fan of good music in general. Take it!

Modeling dynamic conditional correlations in WTI oil forward and futures returns
This paper estimates the dynamic conditional correlations in the returns on WTI oil one-month forward prices, and one-, three-, six-, and twelve-month futures prices, using recently developed multivariate conditional volatility models. The dynamic correlations enable a determination of whether the forward and various futures returns are substitutes or complements, which are crucial for deciding whether or not to hedge against unforeseen circumstances. The models are estimated using daily data on WTI oil forward and futures prices, and their associated returns, from 3 January 1985 to 16 January 2004. At the univariate level, the estimates are statistically significant, with the occasional asymmetric effect in which negative shocks have a greater impact on volatility than positive shocks. In all cases, both the short- and long-run persistence of shocks are statistically significant. Among the five returns, there are ten conditional correlations, with the highest estimate of constant conditional correlation being 0.975 between the volatilities of the three-month and six-month futures returns, and the lowest being 0.656 between the volatilities of the forward and twelve-month futures returns. The dynamic conditional correlations can vary dramatically, being negative in four of ten cases and being close to zero in another five cases. Only in the case of the dynamic volatilities of the three-month and six-month futures returns is the range of variation relatively narrow, namely (0.832, 0.996). Thus, in general, the dynamic volatilities in the returns in the WTI oil forward and future prices can be either independent or interdependent over time.

Four French players enter mobile auction
All four domestic carriers in France have indicated that they wish to take part in the country’s upcoming auction of 4G mobile spectrum, France’s telecoms regulator ARCEP said on Tuesday.
According to Reuters, Orange, Numericable-SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Iliad have all sent applications to ARCEP for participation in the auction for 700MHz airwaves.
France is allegedly looking to raise €2.5 billion from the auction which is set for November this year. Approvals are expected by the year end.
The low-frequency spectrum is being freed up from television broadcasters and will enable mobile players to better transport voice and data traffic during peak times.


United Kingdom to vote against Trump's Jerusalem decision
19 December, 2017, 10:59 | Author: Kim Reid
The draft United Nations resolution had called upon all countries to refrain from establishing diplomatic missions in Jerusalem.
"Any decision and actions which purport to have altered the character, status, or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded", the draft states.
Last time the United States used its right to veto in February 2011 when the UN Security Council considered a draft resolution concerning Israel's settlement activity on the occupied Palestinian territories.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has scrapped a meeting with Pence in protest at the Jerusalem announcement, and will instead head to Saudi Arabia to meet King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. And she insisted that this position "is fully in line with the previous Security Council resolutions". The settlements are in contravention of the global laws, including the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, which prohibits countries from moving population into territories occupied in a war.
Trump shattered decades of unwavering USA neutrality on Jerusalem on December 6 when he declared that the United States recognizes the divided holy city as Israel's capital and will move its embassy there.
Rycroft said his country believes Jerusalem is a final-status issue and should be a shared capital of Israelis and Palestinians.
School bus crash driver says level crossing was not working
The bus was transporting students between a school in Millas and the communities of Saint-Feliu-D'Amont and Saint-Feliu-d'Avall. Three people have died in a "terrible accident" involving a school bus and a train in the south of France .
Pence's trip to Egypt and Israel was pushed back to mid-January to allow the USA vice president to remain in Washington during a vote on Trump's tax bill, a White House official said.
Following the US veto, Egypt's Foreign Ministry said Arab states, which had agreed earlier this month to seek a Security Council resolution, would meet to evaluate the situation to determine what their next steps might be.
"The United States has the sovereignty to determine where and whether we establish an embassy", said Haley, describing the vote as an "insult" that "won't be forgotten".
"We will not accept the U.S.as a mediator in the peace process and this American position must be met with several measures", he said, highlighting that a special committee will be formed to look into relevant United Nations resolutions and propose new ones.
Echoed by Abbas, he said that the USA "destroyed" the two state solution and "undermined all peace efforts".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the US for using its veto in a video posted to Facebook. Israel considers Jerusalem its eternal and indivisible capital and wants all embassies based there.
Cardinals to place Adrian Peterson on season-ending IR
The Cardinals' Adrian Peterson has reportedly been placed on injured reserve, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. Peterson's neck injury won't require surgery, but it only adds to his plethora of missed games throughout his career.
The Palestinians immediately announced that they will seek a resolution with similar demands in the 193-member General Assembly, where there are no vetoes.
But one by one, ambassadors of the 14 countries that supported the resolution said after the vote that the US violated council resolutions which make clear that no country can unilaterally decide that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
He said the issue of Palestine is at the core of Middle East peace and China has consistently supported and pushed forward the Middle East peace process.
Abbas made his remarks at the beginning of a meeting of the Palestinian leadership, held late on Monday in Ramallah to discuss the development of a new Palestinian strategy, in response to the USA president's decision.
Safronkov said Russian Federation will also "continue to encourage all Palestinian parties to overcome the internal rifts as quickly as possible".

Obviously I’m not a health care professional of any kind, and I’m not dispensing medical advice. We’re just talkin’ here.
If your palette tells you wheat bread lacks flavor – then who am I to tell you otherwise?
But instead of eating nutrient-low white bread, you’re probably better keeping the wheat bread.
Afterall you can easily compensate for the flavor with the contents of your sandwich.
Whatever the sandwich – there’s always some addition that can make it taste better – onions, fruit spread, cucumbers, pepper, mustard…
“Switching from white to whole wheat bread can lower heart disease risk by 20 percent,” according to research from the University of Washington reported in the April 2, 2003
issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
And according to Vegetarian Times, 2008 – people who choose wheat over white get fiber, vitamins B6 and E, magnesium, zinc, folic acid and chromium; none of which you’ll find in white bread.
Food for thought…

Ray Emery Anaheim Ducks Mask
Ray Emery’s Ducks’ mask was created by.
Update: What did Emery think of the new mask when he saw it? “SICK JOB BROTHA”
Ray Emery is making his improbable comeback from serious hip surgery with Anaheim – and he’s wearing another boxing inspired helmet. This time Emery turned to David Leroux from Montreal who is creating some of the most striking designs in the game now. The Sugar Ray Leonard theme with Ducks’ graphics is sure to impress boxing and hockey fans alike. When you consider the Mike Tyson mask Emery once donned perhaps his new choice of boxing personna reflects his maturing personality – Leonard was always known as one of the classiest pros in boxing.

Blaze rips through Arnold Clark garage forcing evacuation of homes
Fire broke out at Aberdeen car garage on Tuesday and fire crews remained at the scene for morning.
A major blaze has ripped through an Arnold Clark garage forcing many nearby homes to be evacuated.
The fire broke out at the car garage in Aberdeen at around 5am on Tuesday and fire crews remained at the scene for much of the early part of the morning.
Local residents were evacuated from their homes due to the severe smoke as firefighters fought to extinguish the blaze.
No one is believed to have been injured and the residents have been moved to a local community centre for their safety.
A statement issued on Tuesday morning said: "Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) and Police were alerted to the fire at approximately 5am at a commercial premises in the city.
"No one has been injured as a result of the fire however as a precaution, a number of domestic properties situated on Girdleness Road, which are in close proximity to the incident, are currently being evacuated due to the severity of smoke and to ensure public safety.
"The local community centre on Balnagask Road has been opened as a rest centre for those being evacuated. "Girdleness Road is currently closed between Wellington Road and Old Church Road. Further updates will be communicated in due course. "
An SFRS spokesman said later on Tuesday afternoon: "Two fire appliances remain at the scene and are still carrying out damping down operations.

John Murtha on Tax Reform. Voted YES on expanding AMT exemptions in order to prevent middle-income that is hitting.
Democratic Representative (PA-12)
Voted YES on expanding AMT exemptions in order to prevent middle-income that is hitting.
Voted YES on investing in AMT relief by shutting business that is offshore.
Proponents help voting YES because:
Rep. RANGEL: We possess the possibility to upward provide relief to of some 25 million individuals from being struck by a $50 billion taxation enhance, which it had been never ever thought can happen to those individuals. Nearly aside from this, we now have a way to shut a tremendously unjust taxation provision, that undoubtedly no body has arrived in my opinion to guard, which stops a small number of individuals from having limitless funds being shipped international under deferred settlement and liability that is escaping.

A New Orleans woman granted clemency by former President Barack Obama in 2016 has plenty to celebrate these days, and now she’s getting praise from former POTUS himself.
At the age of 50, Danielle Metz enrolled at the Southern University of New Orleans to study social work and earned a spot on the dean’s list with a 3.75 GPA.
In an recent interview with The Heschinger Report, Metz said she’d like to tell Obama, “You don’t know what you did for me. I am finally coming into my own. I made the honor roll.”
Days after her story went viral, Obama congratulated Metz on her success in a handwritten letter.
“I’m so proud of you, and am confident that your example will have a positive impact for others who are looking for a second chance,” Obama wrote, according to a copy of the letter published by USA Today. “Tell your children I say hello, and know that I’m rooting for all of you.”
The Louisiana woman was just 26 years old when her life was suddenly upended. A jury handed her three life sentences plus another 20 years in federal prison, for her involvement in her husband’s cocaine distribution ring. Metz, who was enrolled in beauty school at the time, spent much of her time at home raising her children, as her husband did not like her out of the house.
When she wasn’t holed up at home, however, Metz would deliver a few packages to Houston with a relative at her husband’s instruction.
He and his several members of his crew, who prosecutors said distributed more than 1,000 kilos of cocaine and killed 23 rivals, were indicted in the summer of 1992. Metz fled with her two children to Jackson, Mississippi, where police arrested her the following year.
The possibility that she could face jail time hadn’t hit her just yet. Because Metz never had so much as a traffic ticket and wasn’t caught in possession of any drugs, the single mom figured prosecutors would let her off with a warning.
At trial, prosecutors presented witnesses who testified Metz had “driven packages to Houston for her husband and, on occasion, accepted cash payments and wired money to suppliers,” according to the report. A jury found her guilty on drug charges and she was sentenced to prison.
“I hope that by the sentence you receive, others who might be tempted to follow your path of crime will have second thoughts,” U.S. District Judge A.J. McNamara told her at the time.
Metz said her dreams of becoming a nurse or a beautician were instantly shattered.
“It was as if I died right then and there,” she told the newspaper.
If Metz had been sentenced to prison 10 years earlier, she might have been able to earn a college degree while inside. Shortly after her sentencing, however, then-President Bill Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, written by then-Sen. Joe Biden, which, among many other measures, barred incarcerated people from using Pell grants to pay for post-secondary education.
Metz didn’t let that deter her. She spent her time at FCI Dublin, a federal women’s prison just outside San Francisco, taking computer and general education courses. She would go on to earn her GED in 1996.
“I never thought I’d be in prison serving a life sentence, but I am,” she wrote in her journal at the time. “And I never thought I would get my GED, but I did. Now I’m in prison fighting, trying to win my freedom back. I don’t know how I will do it. All I know is it will be done.”
Obama, who was first elected in 2008, repeatedly spoke out against unduly harsh sentences for nonviolent drug offences and, in his final act as president, commuted the sentences of 330 federal inmates. The act secured his legacy as having granted more commutations than any other president in U.S. history.
According to The Heschinger Report, Obama would go on to green light a pilot program allowing a small number of inmates to use Pell Grants to pay for college. The program made it possible nearly 600 incarcerated people to earn degrees.
Metz finally got her day in the sun in 2016 when Obama commuted her sentence. Now she says she’s living her best life and looks forward to having a college degree under her belt.
“I love the fact that I can just ride down the streets of New Orleans and get me a hot sausage sandwich or yaki mein,” said Metz. “But what I value most is my education.”

Should you go back? With Didier Drogba's return to Chelsea, we look at others who signed for former clubs, including Paul Scholes, Thierry Henry and Robbie Fowler
With Drogba returning to Chelsea, we look at others who went back
Friday 25 July 2014
As Chelsea confirm the return of Didier Drogba to Stamford Bridge, football fans will undoubtedly remember others who have taken the risky decision to go back to their former employers.
They say, of course, never go back - but many do.
The likes of Robbie Fowler, Paul Scholes and Jermain Defoe have all turned back the clock and opted to return to familiar territory.
While Fowler's return to Liverpool was relatively successful, scoring eight goals for the Anfield club, others have endured a rougher ride.
Will Drogba, now reunited with Jose Mourinho in London, take the stage and replicate the form which saw him win both Premier League and Champions titles during his first spell?
After scoring the penalty which defeated Bayern Munich in the 2012 final, some thought he had left in the best possible way. While his legacy may be tarnished by his second coming, time can only tell.
See below for our countdown of some of the most famous u-turns in football history.

Book: Harlem Summer by Walter Dean Myers
Genre(s): Historical Fiction
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Publication date: 2007
Hardcover: 165 pages
Summary: The year is 1925 and 16 year old Mark Purvis is a saxophonist who wants to break into the big time so badly, he can taste it. What he most wants is to play jazz and he thinks that famous musician Fats Waller is the example to follow. So when Fats offers him a somewhat shady opportunity to earn five dollars helping with a moving operation in Jersey, Mark decides that he can’t let go this chance to get to know Fats and hopefully get his foot in the door to fame through music.
What he doesn’t realize is the world of trouble he’ll land in, when Fats’s friend disappears with the moving truck–which belonged to none other than gangster Dutch Schultz. Soon Mark is worrying more about staying alive than about his music career, leading to a hilarious comedy of errors. On top of it all, his Mama made him get a job at The Crisis, a magazine founded by activist and scholar W.E.B. Dubois. There he learns all about the “New Negro” and gets to meet Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen. Miss Jessie Redmon Fauset, his boss and editor of the magazine, asks Mark questions that make him question where he fits in the happening world of the Harlem Renaissance.
To whom will this appeal?: Hilarious as well as educational, (most of the characters are well-known historical figures from 1920s Harlem), this book will appeal to those seeking a fast-paced story with excellent characterization and humor mixed in with historically accurate detail. A rare type of book — one which blends learning about African American history with the foibles of a funny sweet 16 year old who is coming of age. This book will appeal not only to teens but also to middle grade students as well as adults.


On March 18th, 2020, the Minister of Health and Community Services, on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, declared a public health emergency in Newfoundland and Labrador as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this declaration, a series of Public Health Orders have been made that determine how people in Newfoundland and Labrador are supposed act for the interests of public health.
Self-isolation means staying at your home for a 14 days period. It requires that you do not use public transit and taxis, and do not go to work or other public places during self-isolation. This further means only having visitors in your home who must absolutely see you while you limit contact with seniors and other at risk individuals.
Pursuant to the Special Measure Order issued on May 16th by the Chief Medical Officer, certain individuals are exempted from having to self-isolate when returning to Newfoundland and Labrador. Workers who travel to offshore oil platforms and installations off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador are not considered to have left the province, and are therefore not required to self-isolate for 14 days (provided they show no symptoms or flu or flu-like illnesses).
The following individuals are exempted from self-isolation practices, and these individuals may use public transit and taxis, and may also go to work or other public places during the public health emergency:
For more information about exemptions from self-isolation, please consult the May 16th, 2020 Special Measure Order by clicking here.
As Newfoundland and Labrador shifts from Alert Levels 5 and 4 into more relaxed phases, it will be important to review government updates regarding COVID-19. For additional information about COVID-19 and self-isolation, please visit the provincial government website by clicking here.

Rail passengers in the UK have seen ticket prices rise by an average of 2.3 per cent on the first week day of the new year.
The increase, which is pegged to inflation, covers regulated fares, including season tickets, and unregulated, such as off-peak tickets.
Following protests about the continued price increases, the government said it was delivering the biggest rail modernisation programme for more than a century.
The government uses the previous July’s retail prices index measure of inflation to determine increases in regulated train fares, which was 1.9 per cent.
Train operating companies set the prices of other tickets but are bound by competition rules.
According to the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators, around 97 pence in every pound paid by passengers goes back into running and improving services.

Justin Bieber's Ferrari Gets Pulled Over Again
Justin Bieber's white Ferrari was once again stopped by police. The Canadian pop star was not in the car, but his friend Lil Za was. He was behind the wheel driving the sportcar in downtown Los Angeles when he was pulled over by the cop.
The incident happened around noon after Za pulled up to a Mexican-style restaurant to drop off his female companion. Before running into police, he tweeted an Instagram picture of his female friend with the Ferrari in the background. "Angel, why you so shy??" he wrote.
The car calls police's attention due to its tinted windows. One day before, Za was stopped by a different cop and was cited for driving without a license before being let go.
When he didn't drive the borrowed car, Za rode a horse with Bieber and Lil Twist. The trio was recently spotted horseback-riding while taking in the sights on a trail in Burbank, Calif.
