Blood Glucose Log Book: (60 Day Diary)
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your blood glucose meter.
Check the expiry date on all diabetes testing supplies.
Wash your hands thoroughly with warm soapy water and dry carefully before glucose testing. This will help get rid of any contaminants (e.g. sugar on your fingers from the food you have been eating), and will also ensure a good blood flow.
Use the sides of your fingers, as these are less sensitive than the fingertips.Vary the sites to avoid the risk of infection or callous build up.
If you struggle to obtain enough blood, hold your hand down to let gravity help the blood flow to the fingers.
Change the lancet in the finger-pricking device every time you perform a blood glucose test. This will reduce discomfort, the risk of infection and ensure that enough blood is obtained.
Record the results in your glucose testing record diary.
Make a note of anything unusual alongside the results and whether they were taken before or after meals. Later on, it is not always easy to remember what else might have been happening at the time of the blood glucose test.
Take your glucose testing record diary, or a print out from your diabetes management software (a tracking tool that helps you monitor your blood glucose levels), to all appointments with your diabetes care team.
FREQUENCY OF BLOOD SUGAR TESTING
Accu-Chek Mobile Blood Glucose System
Studies have proven that people with Type 1 andType 2 diabetes who maintain normal or near normal blood sugar levels have a lower risk of diabetes-related complications than those who have high blood sugar levels. How frequently you test will depend upon the type of diabetes you have (1 or 2) and which treatment(s) you use (insulin versus oral medications or lifestyle changes).
Type 1 diabetes — For people with type 1 diabetes, frequent testing is the only way to safely and effectively manage blood sugar levels.
Most people need to test at least six times per day.
People who test frequently, especially those who inject with insulin, may consider purchasing several blood glucose monitors to keep at home, work, school.This allows easier access to testing equipment, which can increase testing frequency and therefore improve blood sugar control.
I go for a walk every day near my home in Mooncoin County Kilkenny,it is a beautiful area with lovely mountains,forests and streams!
I love living in the countryside!It is quiet and peaceful and I love listening to the bird’s singing!
I go walking nearly everyday in all kinds of weather but my favourite type of weather is when it’s cool but not raining as I hate getting my hair wet!
See below a picture of where I stop to test my blood sugar levels!
Type 2 diabetes — Blood sugar monitoring is also important for people with type 2 diabetes. The recommendations for how often you should test are based upon individual factors such as type of treatment such as diet , oral medication or insulin.A healthcare provider can help you determine how frequently to test.
Understanding your blood glucose results
The Complete Guide to Understanding and Managing Your Diabetes: Information For Type 1 And Type 2 Diabetics: Learn About And Prevent Diabetes Complications
In order to use your blood glucose results for good diabetes management, you need to understand how to interpret them. Here are some points to help you do this:
Test and check the results: some people think they can tell what their blood glucose levels are by how they feel, but this is often not the case and you should always test to be sure. If your blood glucose test result does not match the way your feel, retest your blood glucose levels and make sure the test is performed as instructed by the manufacturer of the glucose monitoring device.
Timing of blood glucose monitoring: it takes about 2 hours before you can tell the effect that your meal has had on your blood glucose levels. Blood glucose tests carried out immediately after eating will not really provide any useful information.
If your blood glucose levels are higher than your agreed target range 2 hours after eating, your carbohydrate servings may have been too large, or your medication dose could have been inadequate for that meal. You can discuss this with your diabetes care team.
Blood glucose levels can be lower than normal after exercise, and may remain lower than normal for several hours.
Your results can be affected by illness, hormonal changes (e.g. during the night, menopause, menstrual cycles), stress, changes in medication, changes in dietary intake and reduced levels of physical activity. Discuss changes in your blood glucose levels with your diabetes care team.

When “Banana Split” was remixed in the 90s, famed French photographers Pierre et Gilles did the cover image
In 1979, a year before Kim Wilde’s similar-sounding “Kids in America” and three years before Missing Persons released “Words,” the gorgeous teenaged Belgian singer Lio racked up a multi-million-selling hit record with the infectious and cheeky double entendre “New Wave” pop smash “Banana Split.”
My French is barely high school-level proficient, but I can still figure out about how the banana has a whipped cream “avalanche.” You don’t really have to be Sigmund Freud to get this one.
Give it one listen and you’ll probably just think that it sucks—if that’s the right word here—but give it but two spins and it’ll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day, if not for the rest of your life. I’ve always had a soft spot for this record in the same way that I still love Betty Boo...
But the pretty and iconic 80s star—now 53—was no one-hit wonder and she actually has a super cool musical pedigree: After “Banana Split” (which came out when she was just 17) Lio—just Lio, like Cher—went on to work with Ron and Russell Mael of Sparks recording their rather freely translated English versions of her French hits for a Canadian-only release, Suite Sixtine, in 1982. She would also work with the Velvet Underground’s John Cale. In America, Lio was signed to the famed “mutant disco” underground label, ZE Records and married to Michel Esteban, one of the label’s founders, who also produced Lizzy Mercier Descloux.
Lio has acted in films directed by the likes of Catherine Breillat, Diane Kurys, Chantal Akerman and Claude Lelouch. In recent years, she has been a judge on the French American Idol-type show Nouvelle Star and a judge/coach on The Voice Belgique.
More Lio after the jump…

A rare case of severe hypercalcemia strongly associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is reported. On admission, a young woman showed severe hypercalcemia and photosensitivity. Criteria for diagnosis of SLE were not sufficient. All causes, common and uncommon, of hypercalcemia were excluded. Radiographs of the skeleton were normal. One year later diagnosis of SLE was evident. In addition, diffuse and severe osteopenia and chest deformities had occurred. The treatment of SLE normalized persistently calcemia. Mild elevation of calcium levels occurred during flares of SLE. It has been hypothesized that hypercalcemia in patients with SLE could be caused by the presence of stimulatory anti-PTH receptor antibodies. This case report suggests that in patients with severe hypercalcemia associated with SLE early diagnosis and treatment of SLE may prevent bone loss. In these patients the prevention of severe bone damage is very important, Indeed, severe osteopenia may favour skeletal deformities and fractures; in addition it may represent a serious obstacle in using adequate doses of glucocorticoids for treatment of SLE.

Comcast V.C. Backs Taboola
Taboola, the company behind a popular discovery platform for Web content and online videos, has locked up a $117 million “E” financing round led by Fidelity management and Research, with help from existing investors Marker LLC and Steadfast Capital, and a batch of new investors that includes Advanced Publications, Comcast Ventures, Yahoo! Japan and Groupe Arnault, among others.
Taboola said the new round extends its total capital raised to $157 million, noting that it’s been growing revenue, mobile usage and profitability since its inception in 2007, when it first focused on personalized video recommendation technologies.
Taboola, which acquired programmatic ad tech firm PerfectMarket last summer, has since shifted into editorial and sponsored content recommendations. The company said a “significant portion” of revenues now comes from mobile devices.
Taboola, which claims to serve more than 200 billion content recommendations to north of 550 million users across sites run by USA Today, Business Insider, Fox Sports and The Weather Channel, intends to use the new round to continue growth and expand into more international markets.
"We started Taboola with a mission to build a search engine in reverse -- instead of people looking for information, information now looks for us,” Adam Singolda, Taboola’s CEO, said in a statement. “As a company, we focus on culture, technology and tangible assets that our partners appreciate and can measure. This round will help us fuel growth, and launch next generation personalization technology to further connect consumers with information they may like and never knew existed."

WrestleMania 29 rundown: Predicting every match with a little help from their cardboard
By Chris Olds | Beckett Sports Card Monthly Editor | Commentary & Opinion
The biggest event in sports entertainment, WrestleMania, is little more than 24 hours away with the WWE‘s showcase event coming from a sold out MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
It’s no secret among wrestling fans that trading cards can be hot commodities as the print runs are often far smaller than their baseball or football counterparts and the volume of autographs and memorabilia for the stars of today pale in comparison to those other sports, too.
But there’s only one wrestling card that matters tomorrow — who’s facing who at WrestleMania (7 p.m. Eastern on pay-per-view) — but we’ve taken a look at the match-ups and the competitors’ cardboard stats on Beckett.com to give you a tale of the tape for each match — and for the latest WWE Hall of Fame class going in tonight.
Check them all out … after the jump.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango
Jericho is the veteran workhorse taking on a newcomer in Fandango who is in his first match (though he has cards from his previous run as Johnny Curtis). On cardboard, this one appears to be no contest, but weirder things have happened than a feud starting when somebody purposely mispronounces a ballroom dancing newbie’s name … even in the wrestling world.
|JERICHO (Checklist/Online Price Guide)||TALE OF THE TAPE||FANDANGO (Beckett OPG)|
|227 (his cards on eBay)||Total cards||32 (find on eBay)|
|$1,332.15||Value (excludes rarities)||$55.70|
And the winner is … Jericho will nearly make him “say it,” but something tells me that the dancer wins dirty after putting up a surprisingly decent battle.
Ryback vs. Mark Henry
Henry is a hefty 412-pound former two-time U.S. Olympic weightlifter who has been with the WWE for more than 15 years. Ryback is a chiseled newcomer who, as we all know, needs fed more. Only Big Show or Khali could be a bigger treat in the WWE but Henry might put up a better fight.
|RYBACK (Beckett OPG)||TALE OF THE TAPE||HENRY (Beckett OPG)|
|53 (on eBay)||Total cards||123 (on eBay)|
|$52.40||Value (excludes rarities)||$404.40|
And the winner is … While Henry wins on cards, Ryback has the edge of youth.Expect both to show off their strength, but I’ll call a double count-out as they battle this one outside of the ring.
Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett vs. The Miz
One’s a fighter who can talk. The other’s a talker — and former Real World cast member — who learned how to fight. This one will open the pre-show online — a more important match than you might think given WWE’s online platforms, which include real-time apps to interact and help decide some stars’ fates in matches.
|BARRETT (Beckett OPG)||TALE OF THE TAPE||MIZ (Beckett OPG)|
|97 (on eBay)||Total cards||202 (on eBay)|
|$372.75||Value (excludes rarities)||$1,341.85|
And the winner is … Barrett. Not sure how, but that’s what I’m going with. (I’m not awesome enough to figure out the finish.)
Tons of Funk (Tensai, Brodus Clay, Cameron, Naomi) vs. Rhodes Scholars & The Bella Twins (Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella)
This mixed-tag match features two of the WWE’s big boys, two of the WWE’s big mouths, two newcomers on the women’s side and two returning veterans who recently took a break. While the combos speak for themselves, look for Sandow to continue his jawing, Rhodes to continue to amaze with a bad moustache, and the big boys to, well, jiggle.
|TONS OF FUNK
TENSAI (Beckett OPG)
CLAY (Beckett OPG)
CAMERON (Beckett OPG)
NAOMI (Beckett OPG)
|TALE OF THE TAPE||RHODES & BELLAS
RHODES (Beckett OPG)
SANDOW (Beckett OPG)
BRIE (Beckett OPG)
NIKKI (Beckett OPG)
|Tensai: 46 (on eBay)
Clay: 47 (on eBay)
Cameron: 34 (on eBay)
Naomi: 34 (on eBay)
|Total cards||Rhodes: 135 (on eBay)
Sandow: 17 (on eBay)
Brie: 39 (on eBay)
Nikki: 39 (on eBay)
|Value (excludes rarities)||Rhodes: $690.90
|Memorabilia cards||Rhodes: 22
And the winner is … On cardboard, the women here are the winners. Look for Naomi to impress with her in-ring skills and help lead the good guys to a win.
WWE tag champs Daniel Bryan & Kane vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston (with A.J. Lee)
Gorilla Monsoon may have called Hogan and Andre “the irresistible force meeting the immovable object” at WrestleMania III, but this match just might have some of that, too. The duo of Kane, a longtime WWE star, and Bryan, a newcomer whose shtick (and a beard) seems to have overtaken his skills, faces one of WWE’s top performers who never gets any respect (or gold) in Ziggler along with an imposing newcomer in Langston, who is making his WWE match debut at Mania.
|TEAM HELL NO
BRYAN (Beckett OPG)
KANE (Beckett OPG)
|TALE OF THE TAPE||ZIGGY & BIG E
ZIGGLER (Beckett OPG)
LANGSTON (Beckett OPG)
LEE (Beckett OPG)
|Bryan: 93 (on eBay)
Kane: 279 (on eBay)
|Total cards||Ziggler: 123 (on eBay)
Langston: 8 (on eBay)
Lee: 41 (on eBay)
|Value (excludes rarities)||Ziggler: $475.40
Langston: $N/A (new set)
|Memorabilia cards||Ziggler: 18
And the winner is … Forget the cardboard edge, Ziggy and Big E will win. Why? The irresistible force, of course. That’s A.J. — who has been all over the WWE’s key story lines for the last year. That won’t be ending here.
Randy Orton, Sheamus & Big Show vs. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns)
The good guys in this one are mostly all long-time stars (Sheamus is the newest) but they’re all former champs with decent runs. The Shield? They’re Nexus 2.0 — plenty of run-ins and disruptions with a storyline that’s going absolutely nowhere. On cardboard, there’s no comparison — and that mismatch pretty much sums up the enigma that has been The Shield’s presence for months now.
|THE GOOD GUYS
ORTON (Beckett OPG)
SHEAMUS (Beckett OPG)
SHOW (Beckett OPG)
|TALE OF THE TAPE||THE SHIELD
AMBROSE (Beckett OPG)
ROLLINS (Beckett OPG)
REIGNS (Beckett OPG)
|Orton: 241 (on eBay)
Sheamus: 156 (on eBay)
Show: 236 (on eBay)
|Total cards||Ambrose: 8 (on eBay)
Rollins: 8 (on eBay)
Reigns: 8 (on eBay)
|Value (excludes rarities)||Ambrose: $N/A (new)
Rollins: $N/A (new)
Reigns: $N/A (new)
|Memorabilia cards||Ambrose: 0
And the winner is … Orton, Sheamus and Show unless we finally get a shocker — you know … The Shield story to make any sense at all.
World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger
If you don’t follow wrestling as closely, you might know Swagger from his TMZ reports and from controversial “We The People” promos that are a bit of a commentary about politics while also fueling an antagonistic story line with Del Rio, the nephew of Mexican wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Mil Mascaras.
|DEL RIO (Beckett OPG)||TALE OF THE TAPE||SWAGGER (Beckett OPG)|
|68 (on eBay)||Total cards||119 (on eBay)|
|$348.50||Value (excludes rarities)||$287.75|
And the winner is … Something tells me that the crowd wants a beatdown of Swagger, but Swagger just might get the belt for an even longer and more intense battle later with an even bigger pay-off down the road. (Or, perhaps, we get that and Ziggler cashes in his Money in the Bank chance, making everybody happy.)
Triple H (with Shawn Michaels) vs. Brock Lesnar
This no-holds barred match as Triple H’s career on the line if he loses to the former WWE star-turned NFL scrub-turned-UFC champ-turned Jimmy Johns-shirt-wearing part-time wrestler. (Was that too harsh?) Lesnar is a draw to get the MMA fans to tune in — they’re one big reason his card values trump everybody else’s here — and Trips should make it an interesting one as long as there are no “broken arms” that heal the next day.
|TRIPLE H (Beckett OPG)||TALE OF THE TAPE||LESNAR (Beckett OPG)|
|344 (on eBay)||Total cards||411 (on eBay)|
|$3,014.50||Value (excludes rarities)||$8,459.40|
And the winner is … Triple H in an oldschool (bloody, we hope) beatdown on “the grandest stage of them all” that probably still won’t be a classic match. (Has he had a classic Mania match?) Expect Mr. WrestleMania to help out at the end, too.
The Undertaker vs. CM Punk
The Undertaker has never lost in 20 previous matches at WrestleMania so, if all goes to plan like most think, the antagonist Punk is just another tombstone tally. The real-life death of Paul Bearer — Undertaker’s iconic first manager — has intensified and added an emotional twist to this battle. It should be an interesting match between an oldschool icon and one of wrestling’s more-iconic new guys.
|UNDERTAKER (Beckett OPG)||TALE OF THE TAPE||PUNK (Beckett OPG)|
|365 (on eBay)||Total cards||265 (on eBay)|
|$2,270.60||Value (excludes rarities)||$1,838.30|
And the winner is … I’m a firm believer that The Streak will end at Mania at some point as that would be the most-shocking and, really, most impressive way for the WWE veteran to go out. How many years does Taker have left is the question. I’ve picked him to lose at Mania before, but I think think time might be it. I’ll take Punk — because if a loss is about passing the torch to a younger guy, it’s either him or Cena who will get it. And would there be a better platform for such a shocker than the New York-New Jersey media market?
WWE Champion The Rock vs. John Cena
Last year, this match was dubbed “Once in a Lifetime” and yet this was a rematch that we all should have seen coming. Last year, The Rock beat Cena — a surprise to most as he had left WWE long ago for acting — before he returned once again in January to win the belt from Punk at the Royal Rumble. The Rumble winner got a title shot and — cough, cough — Cena won it. There’s nothing shocking here — unless it’s all just one big move to set up a third and final battle at WresleMania XXX next year in New Orleans.
|ROCK (Beckett OPG)||TALE OF THE TAPE||CENA (Beckett OPG)|
|318 (on eBay)||Total cards||301 (on eBay)|
|$2,286.25||Value (excludes rarities)||$4,486.50|
And the winner is … Cena. How? We’ll all find out on Sunday.
WWE HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
Tonight, the WWE enshrines its latest class of Hall of Famers — four former WWE Superstars, one former WWE Diva and one celebrity who has had his hand in a few past WrestleManias. Here’s a rundown of what will be recapped on tape Tuesday night (10 p.m. Eastern) on USA Network …
Bob Backlund (presented by Maria Menounos)
This two-time WWE champ dethroned Superstar Billy Graham for the title before dropping the belt five years later to the Iron Sheik, who then fell at the boot of Hulkamania. This no-nonsense technical wrestler and good guy finally gets his due and is presented by TV personality and occasional WWE competitor Maria Menounos. Backlund doesn’t have much WWE cardboard, but expect that to possibly change after this.
|BACKLUND (Beckett OPG)||MENOUNOS (Beckett OPG)|
|23 (on eBay)||Total cards||0 (items on eBay)|
|$168.50||Value (excludes rarities)||$N/A|
Booker T (presented by Stevie Ray)
This five-time world champ has held countless other titles in the ring as well as titles that involve announcing and other on-air roles. His brother will present him, reuniting Harlem Heat on the WWE stage for the first time and it will be their first time together on TV in more than a decade. On cardboard, Booker has a very healthy presence, while his brother barely has any.
|BOOKER (Beckett OPG)||STEVIE (Beckett OPG)|
|205 (on eBay)||Total cards||5 (on eBay)|
|$1,511.50||Value (excludes rarities)||$1.15|
Donald Trump (presented by Vince McMahon)
Long before he was on TV with The Apprentice, the real estate mogul’s Trump Plaza hosted a pair of WrestleManias back in the 1980s and he’s been involved with WWE off and on many times since. His biggest part of the show? The Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23 where he and McMahon each backed a fighter and the loser had his head shaved. Needless to say, it wasn’t Trump’s do that lost — but we all did because that is still here. Trump has had his share of card appearances — and even his own card set — but the money isn’t really there.
|TRUMP (Beckett OPG)||McMAHON (Beckett OPG)|
|11 (on eBay)||Total cards||64 (on eBay)|
|$330||Value (excludes rarities)||$162.30|
|11 (sports sets only)||Autographs||0|
Trish Stratus (presented by Stephanie McMahon)
This former fitness model helped transform the WWE’s women’s ranks in the early 2000s and was involved in many a memorable story lines while also winning championship gold a record seven times. She walked away from full-time work as a wrestler in 2006 but has been involved with WWE as a part-timer (appearances, occasional matches) on a semi-regular basis since. On cardboard, she’s dominant — even much more than the woman running the show these days who is presenting her, Stephanie McMahon.
|STRATUS (Beckett OPG)||McMAHON (Beckett OPG)|
|213 (on eBay)||Total cards||33 (on eBay)|
|$3,874.40||Value (excludes rarities)||$229.60|
Mick Foley (presented by Terry Funk)
Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack … they are all Mick Foley — and Foley is legend. His Hell in a Cell match with Undertaker redefined the limits for the WWE — and even for Vince McMahon — and his multiple gimmicks helped propel him even higher after years of hardcore intense matches left him with plenty of damage (including a missing ear). But Foley’s personality has gone a long, long way in getting him to the top — and his career as an author and a comedian has helped, too. For many fans, this one should be a great speech.
|FOLEY (Beckett OPG)||FUNK (Beckett OPG)|
|362 (on eBay)||Total cards||76 (on eBay)|
|$N/A (with four gimmicks,
his OPG tapped out!)
|Value (excludes rarities)||$181.80|
Bruno Sammartino (presented by Arnold Schwarzenegger)
On May 17, 1963, Sammartino became just the second WWE champ and he didn’t give up the belt until Jan. 18, 1971. Working in New York at Madison Square Garden back when even the WWE was a wrestling territory and not a global entity, Sammartino’s reign was one that built the company and defined the market of all markets. Now, all these years later, he has set aside his differences with the WWE (he had been displeased with its direction in the past) and headlines the Garden one last time to accept the WWE’s highest honor. Interestingly, Sammartino has never appeared on a single WWE-licensed trading card.
|BRUNO (Beckett OPG)||ARNIE (Beckett OPG)|
|58 (on eBay)||Total cards||17 (on eBay)|
|$645||Value (excludes rarities)||$645.25|

Reviews for Musgrave Avenue Guesthouse
There should be a phone in the room to reach managements . Also a carpet wash or change would be nice . Carpet is old dirty and stinky .. however workers are nice and quite accommodating . Location is good too .
"Comrades up run perfection"
Our accommodation was clean, comfortable, spacious and perfectly located.
The owner was very rude to the staff, this didn't sit well with me. But the place is amazingly beautiful. I liked the rooms.
When I woke up to 3 lil monkeys on Sunday morning was just awesome... Plus the service was superb our rooms were always spotless..
Nice place best customer service
Very clean place, good breakfast and friendly staff just dnt like wooden floors they are very noisy but the place is great around Musgrave
Nice place, cleanness dope, great breakfast and friendly staff
The place is very nice almost everything
Beautiful place with a beautiful and peaceful feel. Very comfortable.I love it!
Very neat and welcoming!!a home away from home.
Home far from another home..clean...freedom...cool...loved the place
Very average place , the price is even average for the service and amenities you receive , I'd recommend holiday inn
My wife booked the duplex for her parents over Youth Day weekend. We experienced very poor service: no one was there to meet us when we came in in the evening. No one answered their phones in spite of the meeting time being arranged previously. Eventually the domestic worker came out with a key. The bed was uncomfortable, Both the toilet and the shower leaked. When we cancelled the rest of our 3 day stay the next morning we were promised that the balance of the deposit would be paid to compensate for the unpleasant experience. This has not happened.
Very clean and tidy. Area is safe. Feels like home, only better :D. Musgrave shopping center is just a stone throw away so all your shopping needs are sorted. St Clement restaurant is also close. Owners are serious with their business. Wish the package came with breakfast though. Would give it a 5 star if it did.

The Crystal Empire is under attack and Shining Armor sets out to find some ancient magic that might assist in their fight against Queen Chrysalis. All surrounding the one event that the My Little Pony Guardians of Harmony toyline is based upon.
Queen Chrysalis has returned with a better plan, in hopes of defeating the Princesses and reigning over the entirety of Equestria. With a large scale attack, her Changelings use their powers to both distract and confuse the ponies. Capturing their targets and taking their places, in order to ruin friendships & create chaos. Whilst successfully distracting Rainbow Dash for a short amount of time, they were triumphant in keeping her away from the Wonderbolts. Cheese and Pinkie join forces in order to protect Ponyville, whilst Twilight seeks out how best to uncover the intruders. It isn’t just our favourite ponies that feature in this story, but Spike plays a HUGE part in defeating Queen Chrysalis. An eventful story, that changed artistic style a few times but carried the same theme of urgency and adventure with every chapter.
Shining Armor played an interesting part throughout this story. Dissatisfied with what he can do in this fight, he seeks out another alternative to help both his Princess and his Kingdom. Uncovering a spell left behind by the first Crystal Princess – Princess Amore. The very same Unicorn that reigned when Sombra was a foal, as seen in his dedicated Fiendship is Magic Issue. Shining Armor travels cross country to Ponyville in order to give his sister Twilight the spell, knowing that she alone would be able to wield it. We also see the return of party planner – Cheese Sandwich, a pony much like Pinkie Pie who enjoys the organisation of any celebration. A friendship that once began as a rivalry when Cheese first arrived in Ponyville. We also have a chapter filled with the Wonderbolts, minus Rainbow Dash. Lead by Spitfire and Soarin’, they race off to the Crystal Empire on orders of the Sister Princesses – Celestia and Luna.
Well this issue certainly isn’t short on action, as the Changelings have spread across Equestria attacking it from numerous points. Using their powers to take upon disguises, cause trouble amongst friendships and go about so unnoticed. The Cutie Map also appears in this issue, as it alerts Twilight to a hidden room in her castle which houses an important piece of armor for such a battle. An object that looks more like a working horse tool, but encased in gold. Capable of finding the Changelings and scooping them up in a bucket of sorts. Shining Armor lastly provides an ancient potion, that allows Twilight to find a solution and for Spike to get in on the action. The Wonderbolts also have their own piece of equipment that, although experimental, allows them to fly through the skies at supersonic speed and not waste their energy.
As I mentioned before this is a collaborative issue, that is written by Jeremy Whitley and Christina Rice. With artwork from Andy Price, Tony Fleecs and Jay Fosgitt. All of which have worked on the My Little Pony comic series throughout the years, with this Annual just as captivating and enjoyable as ever before. With a script that is just as attractive to both the young and much older audiences, the artwork is just as appealing. This 2017 Annual can be found in two cover arts. The first (pictured above) is by Andy Price, showcasing a split divide amongst the fearsome Nightmare Moon, The Shadow Bolts, Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings. Facing off against members of the Mane Six, Princess Celestia, Shining Armor, Spike and Cheese. An engaging image with a lot of emotion involved. Jay Fosgitt provides our second cover, featuring a very large Spike, whose head is being encircled by Princesses Celestia and Twilight, as they chase after Queen Chrysalis and one of her Changelings.
Certainly one of the most action packed stories we have had in awhile, and all conveniently housed in one Annual. A backstory I have been wondering about for quite some time, when I noticed the same Guardians of Harmony Toyline appear in stores.

Donation to the VNMP a historic chapter in its history
Published 9:27 pm Thursday, July 4, 2019
Sitting under the trees on the Champion Hill M.B. Church grounds on Tuesday it was hard to realize that 156 years ago more than 50,000 men fought and died in one of the bloodiest battles of the Vicksburg Campaign.
Champion Hill was the defining battle that led to the siege and surrender of Vicksburg almost two months later on July 4, 1863. And yet, only the true die-hard Civil War buffs and historians know about it.
“This is a very little-known battle,” Sid J. Champion V, a descendant of Sid and Matilda Champion who owned the plantation at the time of the battle, said after a ceremony marking the donation of 800 acres of state land to the Vicksburg National Military Park.
Email newsletter signup
“The vast majority of the people who come to Vicksburg, they don’t know hardly a thing about the campaign here at Champion Hill,” he said.
He’s right. I was one of the guilty ones. When I came to Vicksburg in 2011, my knowledge of the Vicksburg Campaign and the siege were minuscule. I knew there was a battle and Union forces took Vicksburg, but I didn’t know the whole story.
Until I came here, I really didn’t know much about the Civil War, excluding the Battle of Shiloh, where my great-great-grandfather died on the first day of the battle, possibly participating in trying to clear an area known as “The Hornet’s Nest.”
I’m better educated on the campaign and siege than I was, though not as well as I should be or want to be. Part of that is because of a desire to follow an interest in the Union and Confederate navies.
What Sid Champion said about most people’s knowledge of the Battle of Champion Hill could include most people’s knowledge of the Civil War. It’s no understatement that the Civil War was a major event in American History, and its history deserves more attention than we give it.
This is not an issue of taking statues of Confederate soldiers down, and it’s not a question of whether the reason for the war was fought was state’s rights or slavery.
It’s part of our heritage and it needs to be studied and taught because in a large measure it defined who we are as a nation. The Revolution made us an independent country. The Civil War in many ways shook us as a nation.
The Vicksburg National Military Park, as well as the Champion Hill, Raymond and Port Gibson/Grand Gulf battlefields tell a part of our story.
The state’s donation to the Military Park will go along way to adding another chapter, and the $3 million campaign by the Friends of the Vicksburg National Military Park and Campaign will help provide the signs and other interpretive markers to better tell the story.
According to the American Battlefield Trust, 620,000 soldiers died in the line of duty during the Civil War. 791 of them died at Champion Hill.
Hopefully they’ll be happy to know more people will know their story.

Fox News' Laura Ingraham addressed politicians who are putting America's health and well-being "at risk," specifically the government of California.
"Over the weekend, we learned that California has gone from sanctuary state for dreamers to just being a sucker state for Americans. They just announced state budget deal will now give health care benefits to many adult illegals too. Those between the ages of 19 and 25 will now be eligible for California's 'Medicaid' program known as 'Medi-Cal,'" Ingraham said Monday night on "The Ingraham Angle."
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed $98 million a year to cover low-income illegal immigrants between the ages of 19 and 25, but the state Assembly’s bill would cover all illegal immigrants over the age of 19 living in California – a proposal that would cost an estimated $3.4 billion.
The state Senate, meanwhile, wants to cover adults ages 19 to 25, plus seniors 65 and older.
Ingraham argued California is ignoring their homeless problem and homeless vets and instead helping in favor of illegal immigrants.
"Think those homeless people including homeless vets might be able to use that money?" Ingraham said.
Ingraham also pointed out that Californians will tax citizens who don't have health insurance, essentially reviving the penalty part of the Affordable Care Act.
"How they're going to pay for this by the way, by taxing citizens who don't have health insurance. In other words, reviving the penalty of Obamacare," Ingraham said.
The Fox News host also brought up the 500 migrants from African nations -- including the Republic of Congo -- that have been apprehended in Texas, at the Del Rio Border Patrol sector of the U.S.-Mexico border, since May 30, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The African migrants were recently sent to San Antonio, Texas while eastern Congo is experiencing an Ebola outbreak with over 2,000 cases reported.
Ingraham raised concerns for the health of San Antonio citizens.
"One wonders where is the concern for the health of the San Antonio citizenry? Frankly citizens across the United States. Who's going to translate their concerns to federal officials? And why is no one questioning the pressure that this will place on communities across the country that are now obligated to house, educate, and feed people from other continents when we seem incapable in some cases of caring for our own citizens," Ingraham said.
Fox News' Danielle Wallace, David Montanaro and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Delio is a new e-commerce grocery delivery service focused on high-quality goods and best customer service and delivery experience founded by Żabka, the largest chain of convenience stores in Poland. The brand commissioned a talented team at Tonik, a Polish design agency known for their high-end and quality services, including art director and brand designer Natalia Żerko, designer Jacek Janiczak, and illustrator Dawid Nerwus, who together with Delio’s team, designed a fresh, new brand identity system for the brand. The final concept includes everything from specific typography styles to photography art direction and illustration style and the brands online presence and brand experience, as well as strategy and implementation.
Delio is all about quality, and this is beautifully conveyd throught the visual identity and brand experience
To charm its natural audience, Tonik’s team understood Delio’s need to feel like a premium brand: respectfully traditional with an adventurous edge. So they created an elegant and resolute identity that bring up its true function: to be a perfectly balanced background for the products in their offer. The vibrant yet orderly photography keeps in line with the rest of the concept while adding a touch of fun and playfulness. The limited palette of soft colors, a variety of shapes, sophisticated illustrations and typography on the brand digital presence provides the sense of a first-class service. “We decided that the brand would benefit from a more warm close-to-heart feeling which we achieved by adding hand drawn pencil illustrations which could have been used on the website, as well as in print.”
The branding shines through the super app technology that — like a true concierge — operates intuitively and seamlessly. “We love it when a rough idea turns into an elegant brand and a useful digital product.” A brand that communicates in an authentic, direct style with meaning behind every word, is both approachable and trustworthy.
“Delio is all about quality. Whether it’s the delivery itself, the customer service or their brand visuals. This is why the photography style had to be on point. We decided to take a more artistic route to show the high-quality offer through the photos as well”, the team concludes.

This Affordable Care Act is awesome huh? Part of the ACA is states have an option to increase their Medicaid Program. The states responsibility is only 7% of the total $1 Trillion required, the states are making out on this one. But wait, who’s responsible to pay the other 93% you ask, the federal government, they are just going to print money. BS! More than $930 Billion will be forked over to the 22 states that opted for the federal aid in Medicaid. Now who’s responsible to make sure the government has enough money to pay for their entitlement programs? We are, tax payers will be footing the bill! Awesome huh? Subsidized insurances for low income and increase the population for Mediciad. All this and we as a country have yet to see a surplus of revenue since Clinton. Spending what we don’t have.
Unfortunately, this federal subsidy will only last for 10 years, then the states will be required to pay for all Medicaid recipients. Hhmm … My bet, the states that took the Medicaid option will be requesting financial assistance when that time comes.


text: This post has been in my drafts for ages and I’m FINALY getting around to writing it. A lot of the time when I sketch I find myself coming up with these funky, crazy cool shapes and designs and patterns. I’m working on my playing card dress for a school fashion show, and the first thing my brain wanted to do when I sat down to sketch was create this out of the box high-low dress, with a high collar and a hat. I said all that to say you never know where your inspiration is comes from, and you might not even know your being inspired until you sit down to put your thought to paper (or whatever you medium may be). Flipping through my sketch book I find that a lot of my designs kind of resemble IRIS VAN HERPEN in a way. I love the way she plays with lines and shapes, and her pieces have sort of a illusionary aspect to them that is fun for my eyes. She’s a very young designer, only 33, from the Netherlands. She interned for Alexander McQueen and designed one of the INCREDIBLE costumes in ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’, and chances are you’ve seen her shoes on various celebrities like model Coco Rocha, Kim Kardashian, and Lady Gaga. Also, she is very tech savvy, using 3D printers and lasers to construct her couture pieces. She is definitely ahead of her time!
