My dog had an eye problem.
Before, we went to someone else (another veterinarian) who recommended extremely intense care.
Every 15 minutes we had to administer drops to his eye. It was stressful and disabling for the dog.
Finally, at Dr. Nortey (Dr. Omaboe) we tested something else which worked much better, and contrary to what we had been told elsewhere, my dog did not become blind.
Now everything is fine and he no longer needs eye drops.
I find the Cabinet Vétérinaire International extremely fast, professional, and open all the time.
I have found that they not only take great care of the animals but also are very supportive of pet owners which was important to me.

A crackdown on foreign-owned vehicles illegally dodging £60million in tax every year has been ordered by the government.
Police will seize and impound some of the 350,000 foreign-registered vehicles that enter the UK and overstay the six month period before they have to pay road tax.
Patrick McLoughin, Transport Secretary, said: ”These vehicles are a danger on our roads and the government is determined to crack down on foreign drivers who deliberately refuse to register and license their vehicles.
“We will use all of the information available to us to make sure we take tough action where necessary to keep our roads safe.”
Chief constable Suzette Davenport, national lead on roads policing, added: ”Regardless of their country of origin, or that of their car, it is the responsibility of every driver to ensure that they are obeying the laws that govern our roads in the UK.
“And that includes falling in line with the laws on taxation, registration and insurance as well as those on safe driving.”
Foreign vehicles must be registered and licensed in the UK when they have been here more than six months in any 12 month period.
But many flout the law, costing taxpayers £60m in lost revenue.
A four month trial to catch the culprits starts in November with six police forces taking part.
And a registered keeper of a vehicle caught in the clampdown will have to pay a £200 release fee and a £160 surety fee, plus £21 a day storage fees, to get the vehicle back.
The DVLA will also issue the registered keeper with an out-of-court settlement demand for the unpaid tax, which will lead to a prosecution if the keeper fails to pay up.
The six forces taking part will be Thames Valley, Hampshire, West Midlands, and Northamptonshire, West Mercia and Staffordshire.
The RAC, which raised the problem earlier this year welcomed the move.
Pete Williams, of the RAC, said: “The RAC has been very vocal in calling for a solution to this problem so this announcement is good news for all law-abiding British motorists, who have rightly felt aggrieved that foreign-registered vehicles are allowed to get away with not paying Vehicle Excise Duty after being in the country for more than six months.
“Now a solution is to be trialled, we will be on the way to discovering how many foreign vehicles we actually have in the UK.
“This will ultimately mean that the Treasury will gain more tax revenue which we can only hope will be put towards improving the desperate state of our roads – a constant source of frustration to motorists.
A new Think! campaign has been launched by the Department for Transport to warn motorists of the danger of country roads.
Official figures show that 60% of road crash deaths are on rural roads. Three people die each day on average on rural roads and the total number killed is nearly eleven times higher than on motorways.
And one in four drivers have had a near miss and one driver in twenty has had a collision on a country road.
Road safety minister Robert Goodwill said: “Britain’s roads are among the safest in the world, but most people don’t know that motorists are nearly eleven times more likely to die in an accident on a country road than on a motorway.
“I want the public to understand these risks and adapt their driving to the conditions they face.”
The new THINK! advertising campaign uses 3D scanning technology to illustrate that country roads are full of unforeseen hazards.

We’re used to Logan Paul videos showing us something deeply disturbing, but we’re not used to that disturbing thing facilitating justice. Usually just inspiring a weird conversation on the horrors our children are witnessing daily on YouTube (that hyperlink is to a story about how he tased a rat!). However, a Logan Paul video helped rescue a tiger cub after the police discovered a man was abusing a tiger cub in the place where all disturbing sights naturally must convene: one of Logan Paul’s videos.
The video, “KONG MEETS A BABY TIGER **Showdown**”, showed Logan Paul’s pomeranian, Kong, playing with the tiger owned as owned by one Nicholas Perkins. And look, some advice to Nicholas, if you’re going to insist on owning illegal wildlife, maybe don’t bring it on a YouTube channel synonymous with unlikely popularity. The video of the two animals not killing each other, uploaded in September, 2017, is currently sitting at eight million views, and one of those eight million people sent a tip to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The other 7,999,999… I don’t know what you’re about.
When the California Department of Fish and Wildlife moved in on Nicholas, they found was a tiger abused and malnourished, being fed formula for kittens rather than the food proper for its species. They have since removed the tiger and pressed charges against Nicholas.
Logan Paul’s life so far has involved bouncing from the Japanese Suicide Forest, tasing rats, and now forcing his dog to play with a malnourished tiger cub. Being a YouTuber looks exhausting, but I’m sure it will make a great and very stressful biography someday.
Los Angeles City Attorney, Mike Feuer said, as quoted in the LA Times: “Tigers and other exotic animals are not pets. Keeping these potentially dangerous animals in a residential setting poses a serious safety risk for residents and animals alike.” So if you want to own an exotic animal, Mike Feuer doesn’t think you should.

I get that a lot. When I talk positively to people, they wonder why am I so positive. And I wonder why does it bother them.
"How did you do that? You charmed him the minute you started talking to him!"
This. I get a lot too. Apparently, I am a charmer. I have been told that I have a good personality which is an optimum key to getting things done. At work. Not on bed.
I am not going to leave you half way, but will share with you ways to get a better personality through attitude and self-image, which is my ultimate way of life.
Here are ways, proven ways, techniques or steps that you can almost put to immediate use, to help you to become
Step One: Participate Positively
First we need to understand that attitude has its own infections way of influencing others to act in accordance with your way of thinking. In our pursuit of upgrading our attitude to a healthier one, we must participate positively in all the company's functions & activities, which include small and big events. There are many people who feel that they are not involved in certain events or activities, so they tend to take a step backward and watch from the back stage. Worse, there are people who think that only big functions can bring them to somewhere on the top.
One important area of attitudinal development is to be more involved in all functions, because when your superiors, your coordinates or your staffs witness your enthusiasm in participating positively in all functions, they will learn, they will follow and most of all they will lead others as well.
Step Two: Take The Front Seat
There is a big difference between a winner and a loser. The winner takes the front seat, while the loser ends up taking the back row, more often, more of them end up having no seat at all. Try to take the front seat at your company's functions. Try to be a good supporter to your team leader.
Step Three: Put On A Broad Smile
Like the saying goes; You smile because you are happy. Show others you are really happy when you meet them. Look around the next time you go to any event or function, you will notice many others who wear a frown on their faces. Frowning makes other feel unwanted, unwelcome and most of all frowning makes you dull. So, put on a broad smile every minute of you waking hour. People might think that you are flirting, screw them.
Step Four: Dress Up, Make Up and Move Up
There is a magic in dressing up. All over the world, men and women spend so much effort and money in dressing themselves up, so that they look good and feel great. I do that too. When you have this great feeling, you automatically act enthusiastically in almost everything that comes your way. Hence I urge you to dress up, make up and you will move up.
Step Five: Whisper I love You
One of the greatest lessons I have privilege in learning through my working experiences and bad decisions is working with my current company. One of the lessons, is to whisper I love You to whoever comes our way. "It is hard not to think well of a person when you whispered I love you, in your heart when you meet him or her." Your self-image will affectionately influence your attitude to act accordingly.
Step Six: Be Well Equipped
From the beginning, I have been told that there are three things we need to know about corporate world. First you need to know how to sell, then you must know how to receive then you must train others to sell and receive. Be well equipped with your knowledge, so that you are well prepared when people give you objections. Sell means a lot of things. That includes, to sell yourself well. Let people know your value. Be well equipped with the art to sell effectively. When you can sell well, when you approach people effectively, then you will enjoy working. Which will give you more reasons to wake up early in the morning to go to work. Because you know, that it will be a good day for you. Learn how to receive too. Because you know, you are worth it.
The above six steps will be your starting points

The Cleveland Browns need to get their roster down to 53 players by Saturday at 4:00 PM ET. Some NFL cuts may come in early, so we will begin to track them here in a live blog format. Please feel free to use the comments section to discuss cuts around the NFL who may be of interest to Cleveland.
Scroll to the bottom of this post for a raw list of today’s reported cuts so far.
Browns Roster Cuts Live Blog
4:15 PM: The Browns have announced their initial 53-man roster. You can shift all roster talk to that thread.
3:48 PM: And there’s the trade we heard about yesterday: the Titans have traded WR Taywan Taylor to Cleveland. All we know right now is that it is for a 2020 draft pick. Our post on him is here.
3:10 PM: I had missed this one from Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle: the Browns are waiving CB Robert Jackson, but it sounds like they hope to get him back on the practice squad:
Cleveland Browns cutting cornerback Robert Jackson, according to league source. Staying overnight in Cleveland as he's a top practice squad candidate if he clears waivers— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) August 31, 2019
3:07 PM: We’re under an hour away from the cut deadline, and we’ve got one more to report now: OT Brad Seaton. Also on Twitter, Adam Schefter of ESPN says the Browns will release P Britton Colquitt if they can’t find a trade partner for him.
2:48 PM: If my math is correct, then the Browns needed to make 35 roster moves after the final preseason game to get the roster to 53 players. So far, we’ve only heard about 12 players who will be “out,” so 23 players to go is still quite a bit.
2:44 PM: I’ll stop saying the reporter’s name because I’ve already said it like 50 times; but the latest one is that DE Wyatt Ray has been cut. Unrelated, the Packers are cutting QB DeShone Kizer. I feel like every former Browns quarterback from another team is being cut today.
Browns have released DE Wyatt Ray, per source.— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) August 31, 2019
2:30 PM: We’re just an hour and a half away from all cuts being in. Per Jake Trotter of ESPN, OL Kyle Kalis will be waived, and then probably headed to IR:
Browns have cut OG/C Kyle Kalis, with intention to bring him back on IR. Kalis is still in concussion protocol.— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) August 31, 2019
1:58 PM: Whoa, and here’s our first surprise (although not shocking or anything): the Scottish Hammer will be the Browns’ punter! That means the team will see if they can trade veteran P Britton Colquitt:
The #Browns have informed “The Scottish Hammer” Jamie Gillan he won the punting job, per source. That means Britton Colquitt, a Pro Bowl alternate last year, is now available. Remarkable rise for Gillan, the rookie from Arkansas-Pine Bluff.— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) August 31, 2019
1:54 PM: Here is a different one for you: confirmation that a player is making the team: in this case, it is DT Daniel Ekuale, who will be on the team’s initial 53-man roster.
Defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale has been told by #Browns he has made their initial 53-man roster, a source said.— Nate Ulrich (@ByNateUlrich) August 31, 2019
1:52 PM: Let’s quickly catch up on some of the bigger NFL transactions today:
- The Houston Texans traded DE Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks. In exchange, the Seahawks only gave up a 3rd round pick and two backup linebackers, including former Browns LB Barkevious Mingo.
- The Bills are cutting RB LeSean McCoy.
- In wide receiver news, the Vikings are cutting WR Laquod Treadwell, while the Redskins are cutting WR Josh Doctson.
1:49 PM: Some former Browns quarterback news, with both Brian Hoyer and Kevin Hogan being released:
Some backup QB news: The #Patriots are releasing Brian Hoyer, Tom Brady’s long-time backup, sources say (as @caplannfl reported). Meanwhile, the #Broncos are releasing QB Kevin Hogan, their No. 2. That situation is fluid as they’ll keep looking.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 31, 2019
1:33 PM: The person with all the scoops continues to be ESPN’s Jake Trotter, who says that LB Willie Harvey will be waived. No surprises overall, though.
Browns have cut LB Willie Harvey, per source. Harvey was an undrafted FA out of Iowa State.— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) August 31, 2019
12:19 PM: Browns are cutting tight end Stephen Carlson, according to Nate Ulrich of The Beacon Journal:
Tight end Stephen Carlson has been informed he’s being waived by #Browns, a source said— Nate Ulrich (@ByNateUlrich) August 31, 2019
11:48 AM: The Browns are cutting WR Ishmael Hyman, who had some good moments in camp, but also some key drops in the final preseason game:
10:15 AM: And we are off and running as Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports that the Browns have released safety J.T. Hassell:
Browns release S J.T. Hassell according to his agency @OSMG_LLC— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) August 31, 2019
8:40 AM: Good morning, Browns fans — it is cutdown day in the NFL! Cuts are due in at 4:00 PM ET today. Cleveland did not end up officially announcing any cuts on Friday, so they might all come in one batch today. Our live blog continues throughout the day.
5:55 PM (Friday): Perhaps take it with a grain of salt, but Browns fan @Reflog_18 on Twitter is getting rumors that the Browns might be looking to acquire WR Taywan Taylor from the Tennessee Titans. If a trade happened, the timing would be a bit funny, since Cleveland plays the Titans in Week 1.
5:25 PM (Friday): Jake Trotter from ESPN is keeping busy as he reports the Browns have released offensive tackle Brian Fineanganofo:
Browns have cut OT Brian Fineanganofo, per source https://t.co/vSVmnWtHp9— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) August 30, 2019
5:05 PM (Friday): The Browns took care of one of the decisions at quarterback via a trade, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that David Blough is heading to the Detroit Lions along with an exchange of seventh-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft:
Cleveland traded QB David Blough to the Lions, with the two teams swapping 7ths in 2022, per source. But Lions add another QB.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 30, 2019
Blough was originally signed this year as an undrafted free agent. He had a decent enough preseason, at least to the liking of the Lions, as he 25-of-43 passes for 271 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. We have an article up on the trade here.
3:19 PM (Friday): Once again, per Jake Trotter of ESPN, the Browns are waiving DT Brian Price:
Browns have cut DT Brian Price, per source. Concussion hampered him during camp. https://t.co/RVyZwtITQi— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) August 30, 2019
2:24 PM (Friday): So...should we read anything into this tweet by WR Antonio Callaway? The tone of “thankful for the Browns” and “what’s about to happen to me” would seem to imply something. Oh, but never mind, he quickly followed it up with a second tweet saying “let’s work, Dawg Pound!”
I’m thankful for the Cleveland Browns and everybody who apart of what’s about to happen for me— A.D (@Ripbobby_G) August 30, 2019
Let’s work Dawg Pound!— A.D (@Ripbobby_G) August 30, 2019
2:18 PM (Friday): Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens has been meeting with the media. Here are a couple of nuggets he mentioned related to roster cuts:
- Rookie OG Drew Forbes has a “minor knee injury,” but they didn’t have a timetable on how long he’ll be out.
- Kitchens has been meeting with GM John Dorsey and company since 4:00 AM in discussing how to get the roster to 53 players. Dorsey and Kitchens will both be informing players who are being let go.
- OG Wyatt Teller passed his physical, so he’s a member of the Browns. Kitchens’ instinct is that OG Eric Kush would start in Week 1, with Teller providing competition after that once they get to see him on the field.
- It’s hard to make a roster decision on a guy like WR Damion Ratley, who was injured most of camp, but who they also like.
2:12 PM (Friday): Per Ian Rapaport of NFL.com, the Browns are waiving S Montrel Meander:
1:57 PM (Friday): Or first Browns-related news of the day is in. Per Jake Trotter of ESPN, the Browns are waiving DE Jarrell Owens.
Browns have cut DE Jarrell Owens, per source. Owens was an undrafted FA out of Oklahoma State. Practice squad possibility, though. https://t.co/q5WXCkoJLi— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) August 30, 2019
1:52 PM (Friday): Per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, the Browns could be interested in this guy as their fullback. But again, if he hits waivers, that’s 16 other teams in front of Cleveland.
11:00 AM (Friday): Speaking of the waiver wire, the Browns are basically in the middle of the NFL (17th) in terms of their priority in claiming players. That’s one reason why if a “hot” player is going to be waived, you might see if you can trade for him in exchange for a future draft pick or a player swap.
10:50 AM (Friday): It’s awfully quiet right now around the NFL in general, but expect some cuts to start trickling in soon for at least a couple of teams. We’ll make note of anyone who might be attractive to Cleveland — although remember, they don’t have the same waiver priority that used to have.
9:40 AM (Friday): Some cuts from around the NFL are already coming in. Remember the glory days of WR Terrelle Pryor? The Jaguars are releasing him.
9:15 AM (Friday): Good morning, Browns fans! All 32 teams will begin the process of trimming their rosters down to 53 players. Last year, GM John Dorsey trimmed the roster to 72 players around 3:30 PM on Friday, before making the remaining cuts on Saturday just before the deadline.
You can see our final 53-man roster projection here.

KATHMANDU: A safe house in espionage terms is meant to offer sanctuary to those who seek it. It comes down from 1118 AD when Peter Abelard had an affair with his attractive student Heloise and incurred her uncle’s wrath, who had three men attack Abelard leaving him to die of his wounds, but he didn’t and went to Quincey and founded a safe house that he named ‘The Paraclete’ in honour of the Holy Ghost and there he finally found sanctuary.
The movie Safe House is directed by Daniel Espinosa, director of the acclaimed Swedish crime drama Snabba Cash, shoots his espionage thriller with flair, complete with rapid camera movement, a palette of eye-scorchingly bright colours and fragmented editing. If Safe House was emotionally compelling, the stylistic approach might make the narrative sizzle — but the script is as simple and familiar as they come: Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA agent with a monotonous gig. He’s a safe housekeeper, tasked with maintaining a stronghold in South Africa in case the feds need to stop by for some…interrogating. After a year of begging for field work and keeping the joint tidy, Weston finds himself embroiled in the investigation of Tobin Bell (Denzel Washington), an ex-CIA notorious for selling information on the black market. A group of agents bring Bell in to Weston’s safe house for a routine waterboarding, but everything is thrown into chaos when the lockdown is infiltrated by machine-wielding baddies looking to put a bullet in Bell’s head. To keep the captor alive, Weston goes on the run with Bell in hand…never knowing exactly why everyone wants the guy dead.
The setup for Safe House provides Washington and Reynolds, two fully capable action stars, to do their thing and to do it well. The two characters have their own defining characteristics that each actor bites off with ferocity: Reynolds’ Weston is a man drowning in circumstance, built to kick ass, but still out of his league and just hoping to get back to his gal in one piece. Bell has years of experience boring into the heads of his opponents, and Washington plays him with the necessary charisma and confidence that make even his most despicable characters a treat to watch.
But the duo fight a losing battle in Safe House, contending with the script’s meandering action and ambiguous stakes that turn the Bourne-esque thriller into a grueling experience. Much of the movie is an extended chase scene where the object of the bad guys’ desire is never identified. It’s a mystery!—but the lack of info comes off as confusing. Safe House cuts back and forth between the compelling relationship between Weston and Bell and a war room full of exceptional actors (Vera Farmiga, Brendan Gleeson and Sam Shepherd) given nothing to do but spurt straightforward backstory and typical “there’s no time, Mr……….
For me an avid thriller fan I liked most the atmosphere of claustrophobia that espionage has given the movie with twisty lanes through the runaways hurtle and how each safe house resembles another. One sanctuary is in the middle of the veldt near Jonesburg where the entire film was shot and here the claustrophobia is emphasised by open spaces around the Safe House. The movie starts quietly: Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) holding his girlfriend’s hand, Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) having a drink with an old friend… then that friend gives Frost a microchip and Safe House takes off until the very last unexpected scene.
You’ve got to hand it to director Daniel Espinosa for watching out for these details.

City council begins trial to limit vehicle access to Lendal Bridge, with air quality impact among areas being monitored
York council has today (August 27) begun a six month trial to restrict cars, lorries and motorbikes from crossing Lendal Bridge, in order to improve air quality in the area, as well as reducing congestion in the city.
Buses, cyclists, pedestrians, taxis, and emergency vehicles will continue to have full access over Lendal Bridge throughout the length of the trial, although other vehicles will be restricted from 10.30am to 5pm seven days a week.
Experts from Leeds University’s Institute of Transport Studies will monitor the effect of the closure on the city’s traffic network, while the effect on the city’s air quality will also be monitored separately.
Among the aims of the trial is a reduction in pollution around what is described by the council as a ‘growing pedestrian route into the heart of the city’.
And, while the council has acknowledged that by dispersing traffic to other areas of the city it may worsen air quality elsewhere, the overall air quality effects of the trial are being tested to see whether a full time restriction on traffic would be beneficial.
Councill Dave Merrett, cabinet member for transport, planning and sustainability, said: “The traffic restrictions on Lendal Bridge are an important first stage trial to improve the environment at the north end of the city centre by reducing its congestion, as well as improving the reliability and timekeeping of bus services all the way between Blossom Street, Bootham and Gillygate, and Stonebow and Piccadilly, without unacceptable side effects.
“Working with an independent body – the expert Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds – we are undertaking comprehensive and open monitoring of the trial so everyone can see its impacts.â€?
Data will be collected throughout the trial and monthly updates will be published on the council’s website. Meanwhile a consultation with residents and businesses will also be carried out, to feed back on the results of the trial.

Vijay Sankeshwar conferred with 'Transport Personality of the year' Award
VRL Logistics Limited, the country's premier transport and logistics company, has added two more feathers to its cap by bagging national awards in the recently held CEAT 'India Road Transportation Awards-2012' presentation ceremony in Mumbai. CEAT India Road Transportation Awards have been introduced to reward excellence and innovative thinking in the various aspects of road transportation.
The Hubli headquartered VRL Logistics Limited has been selected for 'The Best Customer experience in HTV category' in the Southern region. Vijay Sankeshwar, chairman and managing director, VRL Logistics, has been honoured with 'Transport Personality of the year 2012' award.


As you may now be learning, yesterday Chas Freeman withdrew his name as chairman of the National Intelligence Council. Ambassador Freeman has been pelted for weeks by a number of predictable accusations and fabrications, most of them hurled by right-wing pro-Israel journalists, politicians and other self-appointed guardians of America's special relationship with Israel. That many of these figures have also expressed their skepticism about the appointment of former Senator George J. Mitchell as a Presidential Envoy is instructive.
Of course, what these vigilantes most feared was that the irascible and brilliant Freeman would shed the rose-tinted spectacles that obscure the not infrequent divergence of U.S. and Israeli interests. In my experience, Chas Freeman is one of those rare Washington figures who combines a first-rate mind with a willingness to call it like it is, even when it is impolitic to do so. His fiery departure statement is required reading. Freeman raises important questions about the limits of debate in Washington as well as the survival of the smear and slander campaigns that became so familiar during the unfortunate presidency of George H. Bush.
The distressing Freeman episode does not augur well for President Obama's announced quest for a settlement in the Arab-Israeli conflict. This episode reveals that a serious discussion of U.S. policy in the Arab-Israeli zone may no longer be possible in Washington. (See Salon for some of the cast of players in the smear campaign.)
Dennis C. Blair, the Director of National Intelligence, showed a strong backbone in naming Freeman to the NIC and sticking with him to the end. He may mitigate the damage that has been done by naming a new chair of the NIC who also approaches Arab-Israeli issues with realism and with a commitment to protecting U.S. interests, first and foremost.

The fact that we are launching the satellite in Russia means that we can do so with the Earth's rotation and makes it more effective and gives it a longer life span.
The capabilities of the satellite speak for themselves. I do not need to say anything about what the purpose of its use might be.
Everything has gone completely to plan. But it will take several more days before the satellite becomes fully operational.

Costa Mesa’s assistant CEO said Thursday that last week’s administrative leaves for two employees were linked to a financial investigation into the city’s 60th anniversary celebration.
Last week, the city placed Dan Joyce, a public affairs manager, and Christine Cordon, an assistant recreation supervisor and special events coordinator, on paid leave, but administrators and officials declined to give a reason, saying the leaves were a “personnel matter.”
Joyce and Cordon had key roles in planning the city’s three-day celebration at the end of June to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Costa Mesa’s founding.
“I will confirm that the two city employees have been placed on paid administrative leave (not suspension) pending the completion of an internal investigation the city is conducting relative to allegations that have surfaced concerning fiscal policies and procedures that may not have been followed in connection with the city’s 60th anniversary celebration,” Rick Francis said in a statement sent to local media.
The statement included a footnote, clarifying that “in general terms, suspensions are reserved for employees who have had allegations of wrongdoing sustained against them and are typically for a fixed duration of time. This is not the case in this particular matter.”
The city was due to issue a financial accounting of the anniversary event at a meeting last week of the committee of city staff and residents who planned the event. That meeting was canceled, Francis said at the time, in part because the report wasn’t ready.
Francis said that the report will be released Monday or later, once city CEO Tom Hatch has returned from vacation. Francis had earlier declined to comment on whether the financial report was related to the administrative leaves for Joyce and Cordon.
City Council members reached Thursday night declined to comment directly about Francis’ announcement.
“We’ll have to be patient and let the investigation run its course,” Councilwoman Wendy Leece said.
“The council is purposely kept out of personnel matters as we are the appeals body if it goes that far,” said Mayor Jim Righeimer. “The 60 anniversary celebration was a great success. Let the process proceed though its proper course.”

Notably, sufferers with high FSIP1 appearance within their tumors going through docetaxel neoadjuvant chemotherapy acquired shorter disease-free success. FSIP1 knockout in breasts cancer cells considerably increased their awareness to docetaxel both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, FSIP1 destined to the multidrug level of resistance proteins 1 (MRP1) and stabilized it, and knocking out FSIP1 reduced MRP1 appearance and increased mobile docetaxel deposition. In sum, FSIP1 promotes breasts mediates and carcinogenesis docetaxel level of resistance, and could serve as a book target in the introduction of breasts cancer therapies. Launch Breasts malignancy is amongst the most frequently experienced cancers globally, laying claim to being a malignancy with the second highest mortality rates in women. Over 1 million diagnoses of breast cancer are made in ladies with 400,000 deaths due to the disease happening annually1. Despite substantial progress in the treatment and analysis of breast malignancy over the past decade, the mortality rate is still high due to frequent chemotherapeutic resistance and tumor metastasis. In depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms modulating breast carcinogenesis and drug resistance is of utmost importance in order to advance current treatment options for those with end-stage disease. Resistance to anticancer providers is a large barrier in the successful management of multiple malignancy types. Malignancy cells consist 3604-87-3 of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins, such as p-glycoprotein (P-gp), MRP1 and MRP2, that can prevent the intracellular build up of cytotoxic medicines via ATP-dependent efflux pumps2. The high manifestation levels of these proteins on cancers cells forms the 3604-87-3 main element contributing element in the introduction of chemo-resistance. As a result, concentrating on ABC transporter protein is normally a potential avenue to explore while innovating ways of tackle the problem of drug level of resistance, and many inhibitors have already been designed, like the P-gp inhibitor, and examined in scientific trials3. However, outcomes from the scientific trials never 3604-87-3 have been very reasonable4, due mainly to the reduced binding specificity and affinity of the inhibitors4,5. As a result, it’s important to recognize the pathways and systems of molecular legislation from the ABC transporter protein, and discover an indirect focusing on strategy to conquer the conferred drug resistance. FSIP1 is definitely a 66?kDa intracellular protein located in chromosome 15q14. Recent experiments from our group found that FSIP1 could bind with Her2 and regulate breast cancer growth and invasiveness6. Additional studies possess reported Rabbit Polyclonal to PPM1L that FSIP1 associates with PKA7 and SRC-38, and is involved in chromosome segregation9. However, the exact part of FSIP1 and its underlying mechanisms in breast cancer breast 3604-87-3 cancer have yet to be reported in detail entirely. Our study seeks to clarify the part of FSIP1 in breast cancer through examining the partnership between FSIP1 appearance in cancers tissues and scientific features, tumor recurrence and individual success. We retrospectively analyzed a breasts cancer cohort where all patients acquired received docetaxel-containing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Furthermore, we performed mechanistic research in in vitro and in vivo breasts cancer models to help expand validate the function of FSIP1 in breasts cancer development and docetaxel level of resistance. Material and Strategies Patients and breasts tissue samples A complete of 404 matched up pairs of breasts cancer and encircling noncancerous tissues specimens 3604-87-3 had been harvesting while sufferers were going through surgical breasts cancer resection on the Harbin Medical School Cancer Medical center in Harbin, China. Consent was from all subjects to collection and all samples were subjected to histological confirmation prior. The American Joint Committee on Tumor (AJCC) requirements was used to look for the medical and tumor stage aswell as clinico-pathological classification. The ElstonCEllis changes from the ScarffCBloomCRichardson (SBR) program was utilized to quality tumor histologically. All protocols and tests honored ethical specifications defined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Immunohistochemistry Paraffin-embedded archived breasts cancer tissue areas were submerged in xylene to remove the paraffin, and rehydrated with an ethanol gradient. 3% H2O2, was used to block endogenous peroxidase activity and antigen retrieval was carried out by incubating sections in a high-pressure cooker heated to1000?kW with an induction cooker. Slides were left to cool on room temperature. The sections were blocked.

Ditto X4 Firmware 1.3.0 Build 91
Two issues I’m having so far:
1) Recording a 2nd layer causes a dramatic drop in volume of the 1st layer (to the point of being inaudible)
2) Can’t eject the X4 from OS X
I tried to report these using the Support channel. The suggestions were to 1) reload the firmware (which I did and the problems persisted) and 2) that there must be a hardware fault with the unit and to return it for service. Since these problems come and go based on the firmware, I believe faulty firmware is the cause and not a hardware fault.
Anyone else experiencing this?

FOMC Minutes Spook The Bulls, U.S. Job Claims Are In Focus
Yesterday, the FOMC released the minutes from its March meeting. USD rallied, pushing commodity-linked currencies lower. The U.S. initial and continuing jobless claims will be on the lookout.
FOMC Meeting Minutes Scared Off Some Buyers
Yesterday, the FOMC released the minutes from its March meeting. The minutes revealed that the FOMC members are in favor tightening the monetary policy at an even faster pace, supporting the rate hike by 50 bps during the next meeting in May. If that’s the case, this would place the target rate into the range between the 0.75% and 1.00%. After the minutes were released, the U.S. indices took a dive again, after recovering some of the losses made in the beginning of the trading session yesterday. The DJIA index lost around 0.42%, the S&P 500 finished with a 0.97% loss and the Nasdaq 100 wiped off around 2.22%.
Among the major currencies, the U.S. dollar was once again the top gainer, followed by GBP and EUR. The biggest losers were the commodity-linked currencies, such as AUD, NZD and CAD.
USD/CHF — Technical Outlook
After USD/CHF broke and stayed above a short-term tentative downside resistance line taken from the high of March 16th, more traders might have taken a liking of the pair to the upside. Even though the rate could correct lower, as long as it stays above that downside line and the short-term tentative upside support line, taken from the low of March 31st, we will continue aiming higher.
A strong rebound from the aforementioned downside line, or from the 0.9304 hurdle, marked by the low of April 6th, may attract more buyers into the game, potentially sending USD/CHF towards the current high of this week, at 0.9350. If that barrier surrenders, this will confirm a forthcoming higher high, clearing the way towards the next possible resistance area between the 0.9381 and 0.9388 levels, marked by the high of March 28th and the inside swing low of March 16th.
In order to shift our attention to some lower areas, we would prefer to wait for a break below the previously discussed upside line. This way, the pair may fall to the 0.9237 hurdle, marked by the low of April 5th, where a temporary hold-up could occur. That said, if the slide continues, USD/CHF could travel to the 0.9220 obstacle, or to the 0.9195 level, marked by the low of March 31st.
Natural Gas Continues To Take The Spotlight
In the commodity world, natural gas continued to take the spotlight, as its price continues to rise. This is due to the probability that the EU may partially ban Russian gas imports. That said, yesterday, Italy’s Mario Draghi came out saying that quote: “Gas embargo is not on the table, and I don’t know if it ever will be”. This is understandable, because although this could put a financial pressure on Gazprom and the Russian government, this would also have a knock-on effect on the European countries. Because there are currently no cheap alternatives to Russian gas, buying it from somewhere else puts a huge burden on the EU economies. The U.S. is certainly benefiting from the situation, as it increased its LNG shipments to Europe, to cover the possible shortages of the Russian gas. The main destination countries are France, Spain and the United Kingdom. The EU could try and make a deal with Iran, however, the U.S. embargos on Iran are creating obstacles for any potential deal between the EU and Iran to happen.
European Data Is In Focus
In the early hours of the European morning, Switzerland delivered its unemployment rate figures, both seasonally adjusted (s.a.) and non-seasonally adjusted (n.s.a.). The current forecast for the s.a. number is for it to stay the same as previous, at +2.2%, and for the n.s.a. figure also to remain at +2.5%.
Germany threw out their MoM industrial production figure for the month of March, which was expected to decline significantly, from +2.7% to -0.2%. However, the actual number showed better than the forecast, at +0.2%.
The United Kingdom have shown us how the prices in their housing market changed over the past month, according to the Halifax Bank of Scotland, which is one of the largest mortgage lenders in the UK. The expectation was for the YoY reading to drop slightly, from +10.8% to +10.4%, but the actual figure came out at +11.0%.
GBP/AUD — Technical Outlook
Yesterday, GBP/AUD managed to finally break and stay above a short-term downside resistance line taken from the high of February 21st. The pair is now seen slowly grinding higher and as long as it remains above that downside line, we will continue aiming higher.
A further push north could bring the rate to its next potential resistance area, between the 1.7586 and 1.7619 hurdle, marked by the highs of March 31st and 29th respectively. However, if that area fails to hold, its break may lead GBP/AUD towards the zone between the 1.7812 and 1.7842 levels, marked near the highs of March 23rd and 21st respectively. Around there, the pair might also test the 200 EMA.
Alternatively, if the rate falls all the way back below the aforementioned downside line, this may temporarily spook the bulls from the field. GBP/AUD could fall to the 1.7173 hurdle, marked by the current lowest point of April. If that hurdle breaks, this will confirm a forthcoming lower low, possibly sending GBP/AUD towards the 1.7097 obstacle, or even to the 1.6895 level, marked by the lowest point of November 2017.
The eurozone is set to provide us with their MoM and YoY retail sales numbers for February. The MoM one is believed to have improved from +0.2% to +0.6%, whereas the YoY figure is expected to go from +7.8% to +6.2%. Also, the ECB will publish the account of monetary policy from its previous meeting held in March.
As For The Rest Of Today’s Events
The U.S. will be releasing their initial and continuing jobless continuing jobless claims. The initial claims are forecasted to have dropped just slightly, from 202k to 200k. The continuing one is also expected to fall slightly from 1307k to 1302k.

Boris Johnson has hailed the ‘heroic’ efforts of people in Leicester in combating coronavirus after three months of local lockdown in the city.
The Prime Minister used the example of the city, the first in the UK to go into local lockdown at the end of June, this afternoon while setting out a series of tighter restrictions intended to hold back a second wave of Covid-19.
However Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer pointed out that after weeks of extra restrictions in the city - which included initially essential travel only rules and the closing of non-essential retail - the rates of infection remain high.
Sir Keir said: “Leicester has had restrictions for about three months and yet the infections there remain high.”
Boris Johnson responded and said: “What happened in Leicester was a heroic effort by local people to drive the virus down.
“That’s the response we hope to encourage across the country and that is certainly part of our strategy.”
The Prime Minister had just told the House of new rules that he hopes will drive rates down and avoid the need for another national lockdown.
Mr Johnson warned of a tougher regime for at least six months with harsher penalties for those who do not obey the rules.
He told MPs: “No British Government would wish to stifle our freedoms in the ways that we have found necessary this year.
“Yet even now we can draw some comfort from the fact schools, universities, and places of worship are staying open, shops can serve their customers, construction workers can go to building sites and the vast majority of the UK economy can continue moving forwards.
“We’re also better prepared for a second wave with ventilators and PPE, the dexamethasone, the Nightingale hospitals and hundred times as much testing as we began this epidemic with."
He added: “So it now falls to each of us and every one of us to remember the basics – wash our hands, cover our faces, observe social distancing and follow the rules.
“Then we can fight back against this virus, shelter our economy from even greater damage, protect the most vulnerable in care homes and hospitals, safeguard our NHS and save many more lives.”
Sir Keir said it is “right” Mr Johnson is announcing further measures, adding: “We support those measures.”
City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said: "It is very flattering for the Prime Minister to use the term heroic but people in Leicester, like me, have been very frustrated by the chaotic and often unhelpful way the Government has dealt with the city.
"Keir Starmer is entirely right to make the point that even after weeks of Government-imposed measures the rates in the city remained high.
"Where we have had some success in is what we have done locally to suppress the virus and not because of the rules imposed on us from above.
"We have applied our own actions based on on our own understanding of how the virus has been spreading.
"I think it is clear that the lockdown imposed on us was a very crude tool."
What are the new measures?
- Office workers who can work from home should do so.
- Pubs, bars and restaurants in England will be ordered to close by 10pm each night.
- The hospitality sector will be restricted to table service only.
- Face coverings must be worn in taxis and private hire vehicles, and by retail staff while at work.
- Customers in indoor hospitality will also have to wear face coverings – except while seated at a table to eat or drink.
- The exemptions to the rule of six will be reduced, banning indoor team sport – such as indoor five-a-side football matches.
- The planned return of spectators to sports venues will now not go ahead from October 1.
- Wedding ceremonies and receptions will be capped at 15 people from Monday.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - TYLER, TX (KLTV) - Gubernatorial candidate, Bill White, says that schools should be kept out of politics. White made a campaign stop in Tyler Monday.
White says the recent decisions over social studies textbooks and what should go in them became too political. White says if he is elected he would like to see a chair appointed who will run a process that reflects educator's opinions and not politicians. The former Houston mayor says the recent changes will not only hurt kids but business.
"I think it's going to hurt Texas, in the long run, in attracting businesses to our state if we are known as a state where politicians rather than professional educators decide what our kids are taught," said White.
He believes the changes made by the State Board of Education should be revisited when the new board takes office.

Comparison of Methane Combustion Mechanisms Using Shock Tube and Rapid Compression Machine Ignition Delay Time Measurements
journal contributionposted on 09.07.2021, 23:43 by Peng Zhang, István Gy. Zsély, Viktor Samu, Tibor Nagy, Tamás Turányi
Methane is the major component of natural gas, which is one of the most widely used fuels. A large number of shock tube (ST) and rapid compression machine (RCM) ignition delay measurements are available in the literature for validating its detailed combustion mechanisms. A large set of experimental data was collected for methane combustion: ignition studies in STs (4939 data points in 574 datasets) and in RCMs (582/69). In total, 5521 data points in 643 datasets from 76 publications were collected, covering wide ranges of temperature T, pressure p, equivalence ratio φ, and diluent concentration. For a quantitative assessment of methane combustion models, a least-squares function is used to show the agreement between measurements and simulations. Thirteen recent methane combustion mechanisms were tested against these experimental data, and the dependence of their predictions on the types of experiments and the various experimental conditions was investigated. The mechanism comparison results show that most mechanisms could well reproduce the experimental ignition delay times (IDTs) measured in STs. IDTs measured in RCMs and STs at low temperatures (below 1000 K) could also be well predicted by several mechanisms. SanDiego-2014, Caltech-2015, Aramco-II-2016, and Glarborg-2018 were found to be the most accurate mechanisms for the simulation of methane combustion under ST experimental conditions, while Aramco-II-2016 had the smallest prediction error under RCM conditions. Local sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine the effect of reactions on the simulation results obtained under given experimental conditions and to identify the critical reaction steps for improving the methane combustion models.

Creston, Louisiana facts for kids
Quick facts for kids
|Hamlet of Creston|
Concrete bridge carries traffic on Louisiana State Highway 9 over Black Lake near Creston.
|Elevation||161 ft (49 m)|
Creston is an unincorporated community in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, United States. Creston is not included in the 2010 United States Census. The community is part of the Natchitoches Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Creston is a fishing community on Black Lake, a large waterway full of cypress trees. There is moss on many area trees. A new concrete bridge carries traffic on Louisiana State Highway 9 over the lake. The previous wooden bridge was dismantled.

Transcendence follows Dr Will Caster, one of the world’s leading scientists in artificial intelligence technology. Close to creating a new form of AI, which would be able to develop knowledge itself and become smarter than everyone on Earth combined, Will is gunned down by an anti-technology terrorist group. Surviving the attack, Will and his wife learn the bullet was laced with radiation and he has less than two months to live. His wife and his best friend work together to upload his consciousness onto the Internet to make sure he lives forever, creating the advanced form of computer intelligence Will had planned to develop.
It all sounds very complicated but one of the film’s triumphs is explaining this all very simply, making sure no one in the audience is left confused or bewildered. However, at some points there is simply too much time dedicated to over-explaining this plot. There is virtually no pace in Transcendence; initially it moves sluggishly but you expect things to pick up after the first half hour – unfortunately this does not happen and the audience is left wanting to be intrigued by the story, but bored by its execution. The director was planning to feature iggy in the movie but iggy’s plastic surgery dint let that happen.
Most of the performances are excellent, which makes this even more disappointing; Rebecca Hall and Paul Bettany are great here though Johnny Depp’s performance is questionable. Other supporting roles from Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman and Kate Mara were good as well. However, the story simply moves at a snail’s pace and no matter how interesting the performances are it doesn’t really matter if the audience cannot stay engaged. Thankfully things did pick up a bit towards the end; the action is restrained and not too over the top but in a film this sedate maybe something a bit livelier was necessary.
Throughout the film it’s difficult to side with anyone; you have a choice between the terrorist group, who’s principles initially seem incredibly dumb as they murder hundreds of people because… the advancement of technology will eventually kill people. This glaring contrast is pointed out in Transcendence by other characters, but it is still a bit tough to get over. If you don’t want to route for the terrorists, your other option is the computer form of Will Caster. This isn’t any easier however; it feels like the film wants you to see the terrorists as the good guys and Will as the villain despite him making all these incredible medical miracles happen. His power does become scarily impressive as he gains the power to control people – this is what makes the final act of Transcendence finally get under way.
Overall, Transcendence is not a bad film, but it is incredibly disappointing. There was so much potential but it was let down by the slow pacing. This is director Wally Pfister’s debut and it is evident that his directing technique needs some work. This is not a film deserving of hate, there are some moments of brilliance but these are outweighed by the lack of excitement. It’s difficult to tell if the film is too long or if it just feels too long. Transcendence was one of the most anticipated films this year but it has disappointed many, but it could potentially have been remedied through better editing to quicken the pace and shave a few minutes off the overall length.

We can all agree on one thing at least: America's War on Drugs is a sham in many ways, especially in how it deals with marijuana. As much as we vilify cops sometimes for their actions, you have to go back to the root cause of all of the unjust actions -- the laws. We're not so different. Those police officers could be your neighbors, your friends, or maybe even your family. Moreover, they are not all "stupid" and "unjust" as some people would like you think. One could make the argument that many (if not most) cops probably want marijuana to be legal just as much as you do so that they would no longer have to deal with the bullshit arrests and citations. Rolling Stone did a great piece called Five Reasons Cops Want To Legalize Marijuana. Check out the insightful read:
Cops want to focus on crimes that hurt real victims.
In the past decade, police made more than 7 million marijuana arrests, 88 percent of them for possession alone. In 2010, states spent $3.6 billion enforcing the war on pot, with blacks nearly four times as likely as whites to be arrested. That's a lot of police time and resources wasted, says former Seattle Chief of Police Norm Stamper, who had an "aha moment" about marijuana policy while working for the San Diego Police Department in the late 1960s.
"I had arrested a 19-year-old in his parents' home for the possession of a very small quantity of marijuana, and put him in the backseat of a caged police car, after having kicked down his door," recalls Stamper. While driving the prisoner to jail, he says, "I realized, mainly, that I could have been doing real police work, but instead I'm going to be out of service for several hours impounding the weed, impounding him, and writing arrest, impound, and narcotics reports. I was away from the people I had been hired to serve and in no position to stop a reckless drunk driver swerving all over the road, or to respond to a burglary in progress, or intervene in domestic violence situation."
Cops have limited resources, and spending them on marijuana arrests will inevitably divert them from other policing. Adds Stamper, "In short, making a marijuana arrest for a simple possession case was no longer, for me, real police work."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Coach Core Essex together in Essex, England, on Tuesday.
The parents of three went casual for the event, with Kate rocking a grey checked SMYTHE blazer with a black turtleneck sweater, black jeans, and Russell & Bromley ankle boots. Her hubby sported a button-down shirt underneath a half-zip sweater with blue pants and brown shoes.
The Duke and Duchess are meeting with the Coach Core Essex apprentices to learn about how the program in Essex is helping the community through sport. They will meet with new apprentices as well as more than 30 graduates of the program.
The younger royals have all been active supporters of the Coach Core program. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the Coach Core Awards last month ahead of their Royal Tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand and before they announced that Meghan was pregnant with the couple’s first child.
In a subtle nod to her sister-in-law, Meghan stepped out in a recycled look during one stop in Auckland, New Zealand on Tuesday. Kate is known for repeating outfits, even recycling the look she wore to Harry and Meghan’s May Royal Wedding.

Dallas in Dallas County, Texas — The American South (West South Central)
Lincoln High School
In 1937, the Dallas school board appointed a building committee to find land for a new high school for African Americans. The committee chose eleven acres at this location. Lincoln High School was one of the largest campuses in the city, with twenty classrooms, chemistry and physics laboratories, auditorium, cafeteria, and library in the main building. A federal Public Works Administration grant paid for nearly half of the construction cost.
In January 1939, Lincoln High School opened its doors for the first time with 1,255 students and 31 teachers. Because of extreme overcrowding, many of these students had come from the only previous school for Blacks, Booker T. Washington (5 mi. N). Tueria Dell Marshall (1883-1960), the first principal at the new school, served for 16 years and saw the enrollment surge to more than 3,000. Marshall, credited with bringing his students quality academic training, is buried in the historic L. Butler Nelson Cemetery adjacent to his beloved school. Attendance at Lincoln declined during an incremental desegregation plan from 1960 to 1971, and new schools also trimmed enrollment. Lincoln has many distinguished
Dallas architect Walter C. Sharp, responsible for several schools in Arlington, Dallas and Tyler, designed Lincoln High School, and Dolph-Bateson Construction Company served as contractor. Sharp's Moderne architecture design, with window repetition and a cantilevered entry canopy emphasized the horizontal direction. The vertical massing and tower with glass bricks at the entrance made the building a landmark in the neighborhood.

Today is the start of the 14th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) where you can be a citizen scientist and help researchers throughout the U.S. and Canada! Anyone of any age can participate and you can do it right from your own backyard. Some people even do bird counts from their apartment complex balcony. No prior experience in birding or conducting bird counts is necessary.
February is a great time of year to watch birds. We begin to see warmer weather and signs of spring, including the first stirrings of breeding activity of many bird species. From the songs of woodland birds to the pecking of woodpeckers to the souring of red-tailed hawks, there is much to see during this end-of-winter month. And, while your observing wildlife in action, take a little time to record what you see and submit your results to the Great Backyard Bird Count. The GBBC is a joint project led by three organizations: Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Audubon Society and Bird Studies Canada . It is sponsored by Wild Birds Unlimited.
Here’s all you need to get started:
- Beg, borrow or buy a pair of binoculars. You can find a decent pair of birding binoculars at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Bring along a camera too!
- Determine where you’d like to conduct your bird count. It can be as simple as your backyard or from your office window. If you get the kids involved, be sure to talk to them about the bird count beforehand and involve them in fun birding-related activities online. You may also find some local groups with which you can participate.
- Download a printable tally sheet to help you keep track of the species most commonly found in your location. If you are new to birding there are a number of bird guides with photos and sounds, species identification tips and other resources that you can use as references.
- Make note of your count date, time and location as well as well as the habitats you observe and the weather condition. This information will need to be submitted once you are done with your count. You can use this data form as a guide.
- Spend at least 15 minutes on any one day observing and recording the number of each species you find. You want to make sure that you record the largest number of species you see at once during your count — avoid duplicating your counts if you see the same species within minutes of each other. It’s also best to record those species that you are certain you have correctly identified.
- Once you’ve completed your bird count, you can submit your bird checklist online.
- If you took photos, consider entering the photo contest and win one of many GBBC prizes.
- If interested to know the results of the entire Great Backyard Bird Count, you can explore the results in the form of maps, state tallies, top 10 lists and detailed reports.
That’s about it! There’s not much to it and only takes a few minutes of your time. For more detailed information, visit the GBBC website. Happy birding!

Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has updated its Alert List, with the latest additions including Forex brokerage IQSFX.
The company, offering its services via www.iqsfx.com, provides an address in Hong Kong, which is incomplete, the watchdog says.
Furthermore, the name of the company resembles that of IQS Financial Limited, a business entity which was until recently authorized by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The SFC notes that IQSFX has no connection with the UK company.
That is why, the Hong Kong watchdog labels www.iqsfx.com as a suspicious website, adding that suspicious website operators often use names similar to legitimate companies to confuse investors.

The photos from Calvin Klein’s CK ONE launch party in New York have just arrived in our inboxes, and now our day feels infinitely more boring.
Calvin Klein threw a party to remember last night, in celebration of their new genderless underwear and jeans collection, plus their new fragrance CK EVERYONE—and everyone really did turn out, including the stars of the fresh campaign.
A tribute to individuality and the freedom of self-expression, the campaign shot by Glen Luchford features skater, photographer and 2 x time Monster Children cover star, Evan Mock, plus musician and makeup artist MLMA, rapper and dancer Priddy the Opp, and models Cara Taylor and Parker Van Noord. Also, Eric from Netflix’s Sex Education was present, so we know for sure we missed a party worth showing out for.
Check out Tyrell Hampton’s photos from the night, below.
