The Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board agreed Tuesday to recommend a revised ordinance that will soon prohibit boat owners from anchoring their vessels on front lawns.
The planning board agreed with a boat and trailer subcommittee’s recommendation that mandates boats be placed in side or backyards, along with certain conditions.
Currently, you can park a boat or a trailer in an open space outside a Key home as long as it’s in a designated parking space. But what constitutes a parking space isn’t clarified in the code, and trailers and/or boats can sit in a front lawn legally. The code also doesn’t mandate how many boats or trailers can be parked on a resident’s property.
Residents of Country Club Shores and Longbeach Village disagree about the issue of boat trailer parking enforcement. Country Club Shores residents, who let their deeds and covenant restrictions lapse years ago, want the town to ban trailers and boats from being parked in their driveways, while Longbeach Village residents say a ban on boat-and trailer-parking in a historic boating community where many lots don’t have water access is unfair.
“It would be nice to exclude the Village from this, purely from a selfish standpoint,” said Longbeach Village Association President Michael Drake.
At the urging of Planning, Zoning and Building Director Robin Meyer and town attorney Maggie Mooney-Portale, though, changes that affect the whole Key were crafted
“The idea of communities reinstating their covenants and deed restrictions is a solution that makes some sense,” said planning board member Leonard Garner. “But, now, we have an ordinance to fall back on in the meantime.”
The ordinance states that those with corner lots can’t park their boats and trailers on side yards that also have access to the street.
Boats and trailers parked in side yards must also be screened so they are not as visible from the road.
Planning board member George Symanski Jr. suggested the town allow boats in front yards if they are screened by a fence, but his suggestion didn’t receive enough support.
“I have grave concern that would create more issues than solve any problems,” Meyer said. “A 6-foot fence going around a boat in a front yard is not something I’m so sure neighbors would want to see also.”
Commissioner and subcommittee member Pat Zunz urged the planning board to consider recommending the town open up town-owned alleys in the Village that boat owners who don’t have a lot of land to park their boats could use.
Several Village property owners don’t have access to town-owned alleys that haven’t been accessible by car for years. Town Manager Dave Bullock is investigating the matter.
“The town needs to reclaim the alleys,” Zunz said.
The commission will now review the recommendation at an upcoming workshop. Ultimately, the commission will decide whether to approve the changes.

“We have a change in plan.” Our guide, Roxy said.
I have been welcomed by guides in other countries with a variety of opening gamuts but never with the one I hate the most. I DO NOT like changes in plan. Roxy must have read my emotions instantly; I will never be a good poker player.
“Executive orders.” She said. “The President of Guatemala is holding a 13 Bak’tun ceremony at Central Plaza in Tikal. As is always the case in this region, the park officials are behind schedule. Tikal is closed for public today.” I continued to protest vehemently.She shrugged the you-don’t-argue-with-Guatemalan-authority shrug.
“Instead let me take you to the oldest known Mayan observatory at Uaxactun.” She pronounced it as wah-shak-tun.
Roxy was piloting a Honda pickup with two-row cabin. It was just 10 o’clock but the heat was already palpable. Cool drafts of conditioned air escaped from the lowered window of the pickup. My eleven year old dived into the backseat without arguing. That cut down my options. Was I fussing unnecessarily? After all it was 20th December 2012. If the media has their way, there would be no tomorrow. Should I be fixated on a plan? I slid into the passenger seat. We shook hands. She pushed a button and the windows rolled up. Roxy engaged the gear. The tires spun on the gravel, then gained traction. Soon the Honda was cutting through the forest headed North.
Sunlight struggled to pierce the thick canopy. I lowered the windows to catch the tropical breeze on my face. Not only could I smell the moisture, I could feel it against my skin. Dense vegetation in every shade of green flew past us. The road snaked through the jungle. Roxy spoke in a clear voice as she expertly maneuvered the truck probably 30 kilometers per hour faster than I would. Roxy had hit it off instantly with Rhea. She introduced Rhea to the modern day categorization of the Mayan civilization into pre-classic, classic and columbine eras. She talked about the ancient Maya and their ways of life, their faith, their idiosyncrasies. She spoke about the Maya with a certain pain and compassion that comes from knowing them very closely. Or being one, for Roxy is one quarter Maya from her father’s side.
* * *
I was in a parallel world. I was following the road. The road was familiar; not the familiarity that comes from having traversed it many times, but one that comes from a deeper sense of connection. For we were travelling on the very path Sylvanus Morley had taken a century ago. Morley is the first known Caucasian to have ever set foot in the ancient city of Uaxactun. It took Morley five hours to reach Uaxactun from Tikal on foot. It was not difficult to imagine his journey. What can change in a hundred years that has not in thousand? The jungle would be as lush. Sunlight would struggle to pierce the thick canopy. The moisture laden air would stick to the body. The howler monkeys would rustle in the branches -often heard, seldom seen. The macaws would glide on wings painted with resplendent colors.
I tipped my hat at Morley. The scholars of yesteryears also had to be gutsy explorers. Not only did they need to to patiently ply textbooks under a candle in a dark library but they had to possess the guts to wield a gleaming machete in jungles of an unknown country in search of civilization long lost. They had to undertake dangerous journeys to reach a site, clean it up, measure it before documenting it. Only after that did the academic work start.
If we adore the romantic yet impossible amalgamation of those two diametrically opposite skills in Indiana Jones, then one only has to take one quick look at Morley’s photos to know how far Spielberg went with his inspiration.
* * *
We zipped through the modern village of Uaxactun, a tiny collection of single story mud buildings that lies less than a kilometer away from the ruins. A short walk through the trilling forest brought us to a truncated pyramid with stairways on all four sides. Half a dozen local children, their bare feet dangling from the lowest step. They sat there quietly observing us as much as we observed there.
We circled the pyramid and stopped at the stela at the bottom. “This is the oldest known Mayan astronomical observation platform.” Roxy announced.
We gingerly climbed the inset stairway flanked with the Witz monster masks. The ancient steps were narrow and covered with wet moss. Did the Mayan have tiny feet? I wondered. Even as I cautiously wound my way up to the top of the pyramid, a boy raced passed me, his heels peeping over the rim of the flip flops he wore. Having made to the top after skinning my shin just once, standing 30-40 feet off the ground, the buildings around us came into perspective.
“This is why the Maya of the pre-classic times build pyramids. Not to show their wealth and power, nor for ceremonial rituals, but to peep above the jungles so they could see the sky.” Roxy prompted. Sitting on top of the observational deck, the sun beating down on us, she gently unraveled the story. The Maya had lived on the Caribbean coast thousands of years ago. There they had studied the sky for generations and understood the cycles of the nature. One terrifying night, a gigantic tsunami almost wiped them out and they had to scramble inland to the jungles. The thick canopy of the tropical jungles restricted the view of the sky and hence, they started building the pyramids.
Astronomers, architects and famers were the three pillars of the Mayan society. The farmers sowed their maze, going by the astronomer’s predictions who stood on top of the pyramid built by the architects funded by the farmers. The ancient circle of barter fascinated Rhea.
The three temples in front of us marked the precise point the sun rose on the winter and spring solstice, and equinox. The process of plotting those three points accurately probably took twelve to fourteen years.
The little boy in flip flops followed silently followed me as I circumambulated the pyramid to observe the colossal masks on each of the sides. He was still following us when Roxy leas us to another pyramid complex, except this time, he had my tripod tucked in his armpits. I had forgotten to pick it up when I started walking and he chose help.
Roxy chuckled. “His name is Miguel.” Apparently, seven year old Miguel’s father worked with Roxy on her excavation dig. Miguel was the “Keeper of the tripod” for as a long as we were in Uaxactun. He enthusiastically climbed every ancient climbed we climbed, never one letting the tripod bump onto a stone. On a terrace of a Mayan pyramid, I saw him point the tripod at the sky, his mouth imitating the sound of a rapid firing assault rifle. Boys will always be boys.
On the way to our car to drive to a different part of the ruins, we encountered groups of children of Uaxactun. They had waited patiently for me to to complete my sightseeing – either a wonderful local etiquette or a rule laid down by Roxy or both, and now it was time to pay them attention. Neatly dressed, they proffered handmade color full dolls made of dried Tuza leaves. The littlest of the lot had expressive eyes set above two plump cheeks. I looked at my little girl. No words were needed to read the expression in those eyes either. For 20 Quetzals, just over $2, two pretty girls were instantly happy.
Roxy drove us to a second structure complex not too far away. We walked through the jungle between a myriad of mounds. Apparently each of the mound is an unexcavated historical ruin. Less than five percent of Uaxactun has been excavated. I felt like a hungry kid walking though a candy shop. What wonderful things lie buried here?
We cleared the jungle and came to a massive Mayan pyramid. We rested a while on the steps munching power bars and gulping down ice cold water while Roxy told Rhea the most amazing story of Lord Smoking Frog and the first star wars of Mayan times.
We dropped Miguel on the outskirts of Uaxactun. He sprinted home clutching a small denomination note, his flip flops kicking off dirt. I watched him go. What a lovely kid.
Roxy looked at me, “Uaxactun only has a primary school. If he wants to continue his education, he has to take a bus to a town two hours away. That is if the bus comes at all.” I silently wished Miguel the best of luck and bade Uaxactun goodbye.

Country hitmaker Jordan Davis has released a new video for “Almost Maybes,” featuring Hannah Brown of The Bachelorette and Dancing With the Stars.
The new clip from Davis’ new self-titled EP is directed by Patrick Tracy and recreates moments from Davis’ past, with scenes depicting his old college dorm room and a recreation of his favorite bar in Louisiana, Bogie’s.
“Almost Maybes” illustrates the stories of those relationships that seemed like they were meant to be forever but just did not quite work out.
“I had done a Q&A on my social media saying how I’d love to be in a music video one day,” said Brown in a statement. “So some of my fans started tagging Jordan, and then Jordan sent me a direct message on Instagram and that’s how it all started.”
“Within hours I was getting messages saying I should have Hannah in the video,” Davis added. “Hannah was very involved in the plotline of the video, which was really fun hearing about her past relationships and marrying those stories with mine. I’m really happy with how the video turned out.”
Davis released his self-titled EP via MCA Nashville on May 22, 2020. It reached No.16 on the Billboard country chart and No.124 on the Billboard 200 album chart. “Almost Maybes,” which was originally released as a single last May, reached No 24 on the Billboard country singles chart.
“This is one that feels universal,” Davis said of the song when it was released. “For the few things in life that do fall into place and work out; there are a lot more that don’t. This is for those times, the ‘almost maybes.’”
Davis’ previous single, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,” reached No.1 on the Billboard country airplay chart last year. The track also proved to have staying power, remaining on the chart for more than 50 weeks.
Jordan Davis has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Billboard, Rolling Stone, CMT, Pandora, Shazam, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, and more.
The Jordan Davis EP out now and can be bought here.

Takata Corp. recently announced the largest automobile recall in U.S. history. Takata, which makes automotive air bags, doubled its recall from 17 million vehicles to 34 million vehicles. According to some experts, this recall is probably the most complex consumer safety recall in history.
The problem with the defective air bags is that they can explode violently, which sends metal pieces flying throughout the vehicle. This can cause death or serious personal injuries to the vehicle’s occupants. The air bags are believed to be responsible for six deaths and over 100 injuries, some of them serious.
Until now, Takata did not acknowledge that its airbags were defective. It blamed the problems on humidity, and said that the problems only occurred in very humid environments. Takata announced a limited recall last year, but only of vehicles in humid parts of the U.S.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, moisture from humidity can leak into the air bag inflator, which can change the properties of the chemical that is used to inflate the bags. That can cause explosive force which can rupture the metal and send shrapnel flying. It’s still unclear what vehicles are affected by the recall, and it could take years before all of the airbags are replaced.
If you have been injured by a defect with a consumer product, such as a car, call the Houston personal injury attorneys at Kennedy Hodges at 855-947-0707. We will talk to you about your legal rights. You can also learn more about us on Twitter. Call to schedule your free consultation.

This brief document outlines the history of the Mexican American Liberation Art Front (MALAF). Written collectively by the member artists, it details the mission and goals of the group, linking its development as a critical mouthpiece of the contemporary Chicano movement to their predecessors during the Mexican Revolution of 1910. In the document, MALAF addresses the divide between the Chicano community and the mainstream, acknowledging the need for Chicano artists to promote their art and encourage community involvement independent of the museum and gallery system. The text includes details of an exhibition entitled New Symbols for La Raza Nueva, which featured works by the four founding members of MALAF.
The Mexican American Liberation Art Front (MALAF) was a seminal, artists collective comprised of Manuel Hernandez, Malaquias Montoya, Esteban Villa, and Rene Yañez that was active in Oakland, California, in 1968–69. The group lasted for a couple of years, but held many meetings that provided rich opportunities for discussion and debate regarding the philosophy and definition of Chicano art. Equally important, the collective was also the precursor to the Galeria de la Raza in San Francisco and the Rebel Chicano Art Front (RCAF/Royal Chicano Air Force) in Sacramento, California. In 1969, two Chicano newspapers merged—La Hormiga (Oakland) and El Machete (San Jose)—to become Bronce where this essay was published. The article was published under the aegis of La Causa, the East Oakland community and cultural center sponsoring the MALAF exhibition. The article was collectively written, with input from the MALAF artists. The large front-page spread in the newspaper points to the relevance of community papers in both supporting and promoting Chicano art, especially in the first decade after 1965.

SenSen calls its AI-powered app a smart city first, and they expect it to open new markets for the Aussie firm.
Australian IoT solutions provider SenSen Networks announced the launch of what it calls a “world-first” smartphone app powered by artificial intelligence (AI) for smart cities.
SenSen has built the app for governments, municipalities and cities that want an easily accessible and mobile way to check on all the operations run on their smart city platform.
Smart city leaders will be able to view civic compliance, asset management, traffic data, security and surveillance through Gemineye. The app runs on the cloud and utilizes AI to automate the process of pulling information from sensors, video feed and other data feeds.
“Cities worldwide look to provide their citizens with a number of civic services, including fair parking and guidance solutions, as well as ensuring they are safe and clean to live in. Technology is greatly enhancing the civic services cities can provide, but the cost of today’s specialist equipment and technology is prohibitively expensive for most cities in the world,” said Dr. Subhash Challa, CEO of SenSen Networks.
“We wanted to change that and make these solutions affordable, accessible and reliable to every city all over the globe. Gemineye does that. This breakthrough technology lets us deliver a higher level of intelligence and services compared to existing world-class infrastructure analysis solutions at a much lower cost. This is helping SenSen to usher in a new era of smart cities worldwide, and is helping make roads safer, cities smarter and businesses more productive.”
Alongside improving the accessibility of smart city data and analysis for less technical staff members, it also reduces the labor costs, as the AI-powered platform will automate a lot of the processes and notify authorities when a situation arises.
“The power of Gemineye is enormous for the future. You could have every retailer in the world using the app to track their stores or foot traffic within them. You could have manufacturers using it to advise on new efficiencies. Mining and construction could also use it for health and safety. There are different applications for Gemineye in every city, industry and business in the world,” Dr. Challa said.
“We believe this is going to open up and deliver many new functions beyond the two services available today, and significantly broaden SenSen’s global addressable market. We cannot wait to deliver further enhancements to our customers and give them smart AI-powered analytics in the palm of their hand.”

Liverpool fans nervous on Twitter as Borja Baston makes first Premier League start
By Will Butcher
Liverpool fans are apprehensive on Twitter after learning that Swansea’s new £15million signing Borja Baston will start against them.
The 24-year-old is yet to start for Swansea in the Premier League this season, but an injury to star striker Fernando Llorente has given Baston a chance as Swansea’ attacking spearhead.
The former Atletico Madrid striker signed for Swansea this summer after an impressive spell of form in Spain that saw him score 19 times in 39 appearances for loan side Eibar.
Swansea will be hoping to continue as Liverpool’s bogey team during the Premier League’s lunch time kick off on Saturday, with the Merseyside giants winning just one game out of five attempts at the Liberty Stadium.
Fans are wary of Swansea’s number 10, who will be supplemented in attack by Wayne Routledge and Icelandic star Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Not confident at all for this game mainly because of Borja Baston up front for Swansea. Yet to be fair I'm never confident… #LFC

This Borja lad making his PL debut for Swansea. Guaranteed goal right there. And he'll never score ever again. Til he comes to Anfield???? #LFC

Borja Baston looks like a real good player for Swansea.
Excited to see how he performs in the league.

Borja Baston starts for Swansea , was a great striker for Eibar last year could keep Swansea in the league

Worried about Baston. Looks like a class act #lfc

Liverpool have made just one change to face Franesco Guidolin’s side after beating Hull City last weekend 5-1, with Dejan Lovren coming in to replace Ragnar Klavan.
A win for Liverpool could see them move to within two points of league leaders Manchester City, if other results go their way.
In other Liverpool news, fans have reacted to this star striker’s omission.

I stumbled across a very interesting theosophical article at this evening, which suggests that Pope John Paul II may have been a fan of Valentin Tomberg’s “Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism.”
The writer convincingly argues that the two bottom books you see in this photo were in fact copies of the original two volume set. Mind you, possession alone proves little. I have a copy of the later one volume edition myself. I was wondering if any of you out there had read it. Personally I found it very thought provoking, even if somewhat unorthodox and very heavy going.

DESIGNED IN ITALY AND HAND-KNOTTED IN PAKISTAN
CUSTOM MATERIALS, COLORS AND SIZE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
With a bold and sophisticated spirit, the Kalash collection takes inspiration from Verneh rugs, woven between the 19th and 20th centuries in the Soumak style, an ancient technique used to create a thick and durable textile surface.
With this collection, Battilossi highlights the value of complexity, embellishing the base of each carpet with intricate embroideries that give three-dimensionality and dynamism to the dense decorative motifs derived from classical sources. Densely baroque motifs are made more spacious and the curvilinear patterns, which in Caucasian carpets from the 16th to the early 18th century represented dragons, are simplified and become geometric, showing repeated S-shaped and helical abstractions.
Hand-knotted in pure Ghazni wool, the Kalash collection rugs have a wonderful palette of dark reds, ocher, light blue which, combined with the abrage effect, give a suggestive refined and vintage look. Some rugs in the collection feature intense shades of purple and teal in perfect balance with the bright accents in the borders and fields.
There are three designs (Joya, Kara and Venta), all passed through a dense repetition of patterns.
With numerous international partnerships, Battilossi rugs embellish interiors all over the world, from Europe to the United States, to Australia and China: a universe of unprecedented textures and unexpected shades targeted to authentic connoisseurs, able to satisfy the wishes of private clients, designers, brands or artists drawing from an inexhaustible cultural background.

Christmas is almost upon us and so is the endless slog of booze, chocolates, fatty food and more booze.
The average person will put on around 4lbs between December 25 and New Year.
We’re obviously above average here at JOE because we’d do that in a day.
But if you’re already worrying about the hammering your waistline over the festive season, fear not – we’ve cobbled together a list of superfoods that you need to be piling on your plate a Christmas.
They’re actually pretty Christmassy too so you won’t have to sit there miserably ploughing through a salad wearing a Santa hat.
Yes they’re the number one cause of aggressive Christmas farts, but Brussels sprouts are also really good for you.
They’re cruciferous vegetables packed with vitamin K, vitamin C, folic acid, calcium and magnesium. As a valuable source of glucosinolates they protect our DNA from damage. They can also help to avoid the mid-afternoon slump on Christmas Day, as they are packed with B Vitamins, essential for energy.
‘Try steaming them to keep in their goodness and add nutmeg for Christmas twist’ says Shona Wilkinson, head nutritionist at Nutrition Centre.
You can even sling in some chorizo with them if you’re feeling particularly adventurous.
There’s nothing that smells more Christmassy than a great dollop of cinnamon on stuff, but it’s also one of nature’s most revitalising herbs.
It is filled with potent anti-oxidants – more than almost all other spices and herbs – it may help to reduce signs of ageing and boosting metabolism to help burn off those three selection boxes you ate the night before.
It can also aid digestion, gently warming your stomach, supporting the breakdown of your food more efficiently, explains leading nutritionist Dr Marilyn Glenville.
If you have a massive sweet tooth (and we do) then Shona Wilkinson says ‘Cinnamon is also great for reducing sugar cravings. Add some to a cranberry, pear and clementine juice for a festive pick me up on the go! You can also combine it with spinach or kale for a super shot of festive green goodness!’
It’s Christmas! So go f**kin nuts. They’re packed with essential nutrients, they’re high in vitamins, minerals and good fats.
They are also rich in protein which means they are broken down more slowly and therefore stay in the stomach longer, making us feel fuller and snack less.
They also help to balance your blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, which is an essential part of healthy weight loss and management.
Cashews, almonds, macadamias and Brazils are the perfect nuts to snack on over Christmas…and before you ask, no the list doesn’t include king-sized Snickers.
Nuts are high in calories, so don’t go too, er, well, nuts. Small handfuls should do the trick. Dr Glenville says ensure they’re raw and unsalted to get the maximum benefit from the delicate oils they contain.’
It’s the only game in town this Christmas. It’s a great source of lean protein while being low in fat and low in calories – just what you need to keep Christmas clean.
Wilkinson explains that the meat is also high in Selenium, which supports metabolism, Zinc that help to boost our immunity and vitamin B6 essential for energy production.
If you find yourself wanting to snack and reaching for that box of chocolates, then these carb cravings are a sign of low levels of the amino acid – tryptophan, which is necessary for the serotonin production – a ‘happy’ brain chemical.
It plays a crucial role in sleep and wake cycles as well as digestion and a lack of it can lead to low mood and anxiety.
Lucky for us turkey is packed with tryptophan, so fill yer boots.
Mulled red wine
We don’t need an excuse to get on the wine, but we’re going to give you one anyway.
Red wine is a good source of resveratrol. WTF is resveratrol, we hear you cry. It’s a powerful antioxidant, which can be found in the skin of red grapes, berries, cocoa and red wine.
It not only protects you from damaging free radicals but it also boosts cell replication. By promoting a healthy, inflammatory response in our body it delays premature ageing process and turn excess flab into calorie-burning ‘brown fat’.
And scientists have proven it’s 100% effective at making you feel Christmassy as f**k. Lob a stick of cinnamon in it and make it double healthy. Merry Christmas.

But why then publish ? Granville the polite, And knowing Walsh, would tell me I could write; Well-natur’d Garth inflam'd with early praise, And Congreve lov’d, and Swift endur'd my lays; The courtly Talbot, Somers, Shefield read, Even mitred Rochester would nod the head, And St. John's felf (great Dryden's friends before) With open arms receiv'd one Poet more. Happy my studies, when by these approv'd! Happier their Author, when by these belov'd! From these the world will judge of men and books, Not from the Burnets, Oldmixons, and Cooks.
Soft were my numbers; who could take offence
While pure description held the place of tease :
Like gentle Fanny's was my flowery theme,
A painted mistress, or a purling stream.
Yet then did Gildon draw his venal quill;
I wish'd the man a dinner, and fate ftill.
Yet then did Dennis rave in furious fict;
I never answer'd, I was not in debt.
If want provok’d, or madness made them print,
I wag'd no war with Bedlam or the Mint.
Did some more sober Critic come abroad;
If wrong, I smil'd; if right, I kiss'd the rod.
Pains, reading, study, are their juft pretence,
And all they want is 1pirit, taste, and fenfe.
Comma's and points they set exactly right,
And 'twere a fin to rob them of their nite.
Yet ne'er one sprig of laurel grac'd these rit aldse
Erom Aalhing Bentley down to pidling Tibaias:
Each wight, who reads not, and but scans and spells,
Each Word-catcher that lives on fyllables,
Every such finail Critics fome regard may claim,
Pieserv'd in Milton's, or in Shakespear's name.
Pretty! in amber to observe the worms
Of hairs, or straws, or dirt, or grubs, or worms!
The things we know are neither rich nor rare,
But wonder how the devil they got there.
Were others angry : I excus'd them too;
Well might they rage, I gave them but their due.
A man's true merít 'tis not hard to find;
But each man's secret standard in his mind,
That Casting-weight pride adds to emptir.is,
This who can gratify? for who can guess?
T'e Bard who pilfer'd Pattorals renown,
W ho turns a Persian tale for halt a Crown,
Just writes to make his barreness appear,
And strains from hard-bound brains, eight lines a year;
He, who still wanting, tho' he lives on theft,
Steals ruch, spends little, yet has nothing left :
And He, who now to fenfe, now nonsense leaning,
Means not, but blunders round about a meaning:
And he, whose fustian's so sublimely bad,
It is not poetry, but prose run mad,
All these, my modest Satire bade transate,
And own'd that nine such poets made a Tate.
How did they fume, and stampt and roar, and chafe!
And swear, not Addison himself was fafe.
Peace to all such! but were there one whose fires True Genius kindles, and fair Fame inspires;
Bleft with each talent and each art to please,
And born to write, converse, and live with ease:
Should fuch a man, too fond to rule alone,
Bear, like he Turk, no brother near the throne,
View him with scornful, yet with jealous eyes,
And hate for arts that caus'd himels to rise;
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering teach the rest to sneer ;
Wliling to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike;
Alike reserv'd to blame, or to commend,
A tim'rous foe, and a suspicious friend;
Dreading even fools, by Flatterers besieg'd,
And so obliging, that he ne'er oblig'd ;
Like Cato, give his little senate laws,
And sit attentive to his own applause ;
While Wits and Templars every sentence raise,
And wonder with a foolish face of praise--
Who but must laugh, if such a man there be ?
Who would not weep, if Atticus were he !
What tho' my name stood rubric on the walls,
Or plaister'd posts, with claps, in capitals?
Or smoaking forth, a hundred hawkers load,
On wings of wind came Aying all abroad?
I sought no homage from the race that write;
I kept, like Asian Monarchs, from their light:
Poems I heeded (now berhym'd so long)
No more than thou, great GEORGE ! a birth-day song.
I ne'er with wits or witlings pass'd my days,
To spread about the itch of verse and praise ;
Nor like a puppy, daggled thro’ the town.
To fetch aud carry sing-fong up and down ;
Nor at Rehearsals sweat, and mouth'd, and cry'd,
With handkerchief and orange at my side;
But sick of fops, and poetry and prate,
To Bufo left the whole Caftalian state.
Proud as Apollo on his forked hill,
Sat full- blown Bufo, puff d by every quill;
Fed with soft Dedication all day long,
Horace and he went hand and hand in fong.
His Library (where busts of Poets dead
And a true Pindar stood without a head)
Receiv'd of wits an undistinguish'd race,
Who first his judgment alk'd, and then a place:
Much they extolla his pictures, much his seat,
And Aatter'd every day, and some days eat :
Till grown more frugal in his riper days,
He paid fome bards with sport, and some with praises
To fome a dry rehearsal' was assign’d,
And others (harder still) he paid in kind.
Dryden alone (what wonder ?) came not nigh,
Dryden alone escap'd this judging eye :
But still the Great have kindness in reserve,
He help'd to bury whom he help'd to starve.
May some choice patron bless each gray goose quill! May every Bavius have his Bufo ftill! So when a Statesmar. wants a day's defence, Or Envy holds a whole week's war with Sense, Or simple pride for flattery makes demand, May dunce by dunce be whistled off my hands!
Blert be the Great! for those they take away,
And those they left me; for they left me GAY;
Left me to see neglected Genius bloom,
Neglected die, and tell it on his tomb :
Of all thy blameless life the fole return
My verse, and QUEENSB'ry weeping o'er thy urn?
Oh let me live my own, and die fo too !
(To live and die is all I have to do :)
Maintain a Poet's dignity and ease,
And see what friends, and read what books I please:
Above a Patron, tho' I condescend
Sometimes to call a Minister my friend.
I was not born for courts or great affairs;
I pay my debts, believe, and say my prayers;
Can Neep without a Poem in my head,
Nor know, if Dennis be alive or dead.
Why am I ask'd what next shall see the light? Heavens! was I born for nothing but to write ? Has Life no joys for me? or (to be grave) Have I no friend to serve, no foul to save ? " I found him close with Swift --Indeed ? no doubt
(Cries prating Balbus) something will come out. 'Tis all in vain, deny it as I will. " No such a genius never can lie ftill; And then for mine obligingly mistakes The first Lampoon Sir Will. or Buho makes. Poor guiltless I! and can I chuse but smile, When every Coxcomb knows me by my Style?

The Infinity ECU for the 2001-06 BMW E46 M3 (Infinity-8 PN 30-7109 and Infinity-10 PN 30-7105) includes an application-specific start-up calibration and connects to the E46 M3 via a Plug & Play harness that is designed to fit in the factory location (sold separately, PN 30-3510). Begin by determining which Infinity ECU will best support the ancillary components in your manual transmission E46 M3 using the Infinity Specifications Chart in the "Specs" tab. The manual transmission 2001-06 BMW E46 M3 Plug & Play includes several unique features that incorporate the BMW’s factory CAN bus system (see "Features" tab).
A Complete Stand Alone ECU for the E46 M3 or S54 Swap
The Infinity ECU combines with the Plug & Play harness to replace the E46 M3’s factory ECU. It controls all of the engine functions including the VANOS variable cam control system and Drive by Wire (DBW) system.
Plug & Play Harness with Expansion Port
AEM’s sealed, weatherproof Plug & Play harness (sold separately) includes dual Lambda connectors, an AEMnet connector for communication with other AEMnet enabled devices and an auxiliary connector with a Deutsch DTM 12P connector for adding common aftermarket sensors including fuel pressure, air inlet temperature, MAP, boost control solenoid and ethanol content. The expansion port also includes a sensor ground, 5v reference, power from relay and high side output for activating a solenoid, and switched inputs for auxiliary radiator fan, boost target and no-lift shift.
E46 M3 Plug & Play Harness with Expansion Port
For instalation in the E46 M3, you will need to purchase the E46 M3 Plug & Play adapter harness (PN 30-3510). AEM’s engineers have designed the Infinity ECU and harness to fit in the E46 M3’s factory ECU location to maintain overall weather resistance of the electronics and deliver a clean look in the engine compartment.
Below are several features that the Infinity is able to utilize via the E46 M3’s sophisticated CAN bus system. AEM’s engineers were able to incorporate several features directly into factory buttons on the steering wheel and console to eliminate the need for additional wiring. Please refer to the installation instructions for more information.
INFORMATION ON INFINITY ECUS USED ON 2005-06 BMW E46 M3’S EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY COMPETITION PACKAGE:
When the Infinity is used on 2005-06 model year E46 M3s the DSC lamp will remain illuminated when the key is in the “on” position. Certain CAN-bus features of the Infinity are not available via the steering wheel cruise control buttons, as these vehicles did not come with factory cruise control buttons (the features integrated through CAN-bus can be added using an ancillary trim position switch).
AEM incorporated the Infinity’s map switching capability into the factory steering wheel buttons, eliminating the need to wire in and mount an ancillary position switch. Using InfinityTuner software, users can now select from 8 modes for boost control maps, fuel maps, timing maps, Lambda target maps and more and select maps on the fly using the factory cruise UP (+) and DOWN (-) buttons.
To ensure that drivers know which mode they are in when not connected to the Infinity ECU, when the vehicle is keyed ON the tachometer moves to a specific RPM point to indicate which map the Infinity is using (for example 3k RPM indicates Mode 3, 4k RPM indicates mode 4, etc.). When the driver changes maps while driving, the tachometer will temporarily change from revs to the RPM point that indicates the switched mode for one second and then resumes normal tachometer operation. Actual engine RPM will not be affected during this one second period.
Three-Step Rev Limiter
Users can configure the CRUISE ON/OFF (1/0) as a Temporary three step limiter switch through the InfinityTuner software (vehicle speed or time after launch dependent), and can set rev limits at specific rpm by points or set a flat limiter and use it as an RPM hold for launches.
Definable Rev Limit on Tachometer
The E46 M3’s tachometer incorporates an LED ring around the outer perimeter to suggest rev limits, and the Infinity ECU uses these LEDs to indicate user defined active rev limits. For instance, if the Coolant Protect feature in InfinityTuner is set with a rev limit to 5k RPM when the engine is cold, the rev limit is indicated via the lights around the perimeter of the tachometer until defined coolant temps for normal operation are achieved. Whatever rev limits a user configures will always be displayed, with the lowest defined rev limit value taking precedence in the LEDs surrounding the tachometer. This feature applies to any protect features, the three step limiter, etc.
The E46 M3 comes with wheel speed/ABS sensors from the factory, and the Infinity is able to use them for traction control via fuel cut, spark cut or retracting DBW throttle response. This eliminates the need to install additional sensors for traction control.
The CRUISE SET/HOLD (speedometer icon) can be configured as a traction control enable or disable button through the InfinityTuner software. Users can define a specific slip target for traction control in the software and turn it on or off using this button, or set two slip targets and use it for a mild and aggressive traction control strategy.
User Definable DBW Throttle Response
Users can define throttle curves in the InfinityTuner DBW software and take full control of throttle response using the Sport button near the shifter. This allows users to change throttle response rate on the fly and is ideal for setting rain mode throttle curves.
200MHz Processor and Real Time Operating System
Late model vehicle ECU’s all run on faster processors. The Infinity ECU is built around a latest-generation 32 bit floating point 200MHz automotive processor and Real Time Operating System (RTOS), which is capable of processing 400 MIPS (millions of instructions per second). By comparison, common competitive systems typically use 20MHz to 50MHz processors. To our knowledge, the Infinity ECU currently has the fastest processing speed of any aftermarket Motorsports ECU available. This allows the Infinity to do more, faster, in a more stable programming environment.
- The Infinity’s 200MHz processor and RTOS makes the Infinity more responsive, for a better driving experience
- The Infinity’s 200MHz processor and RTOS allows for more accurate ignition timing, which enables an engine to create more power
- The Infinity’s faster processor allows it to perform more computational features with no sacrifice in processing performance
- The Infinity’s RTOS ensures strategic processing with optimized load balancing. This means that tuning one feature will not affect the performance of another feature
- Airflow model based (VE) tuning
- ECU Set Up Wizard simplifies start up
- Flex fuel compatible
- Multi fuel capable
- Drive by wire
- Variable valve control
- Multiple boost control strategies
- Nitrous control
- Map switching
- Dual internal Lambda controllers

- Outputs to 3rd party dashes and data loggers
- Industry leading data transfer speed (up to 480Mb/sec)
- Integrated engine protection strategies
- Sealed enclosure and IP67 rated comms ports
AIRFLOW MODEL BASED CALCULATIONS
Infinity’s airflow model based systems greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to set up and tune an engine by eliminating many of the lookup and trim tables (correction tables) necessary in previous generation ECUs. The Infinity’s airflow based, or volumetric efficiency (VE) based models calculate an engine’s requirements in real time based on an advanced algorithm that has various modes for calculating air flow. Once the user inputs an engine’s basic parameters (displacement, cylinders, ignition type, and firing order) and methods of calculation for airflow and ignition they can begin setting the engine’s VE table in the software.
InfinityTuner USER INTERFACE SOFTWARE
InfinityTuner is optimized for speed and performance. The software has the power to control a multitude of features found in today’s modern racecars, and features an advanced tuning Wizard to reduce set up time. An ECU Setup Wizard takes complex calibration setup work and simplifies it through a smart interface that features tabs for quick set up of vital engine functions. Each tab includes a description of the function.
InfinityTuner software is highly flexible. It allows you to choose from multiple strategies for boost control, idle control, traction control, charge air temp blend, launch control and more.
All controls in the Infinity ECU are synched to logged data which allows users to edit calibration data during log playback to minimize tuning time. AEMdata, AEM’s advanced data logging analysis software is also included for reviewing data logs.
ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION FUEL CONTROL
The Infinity ECU calculates injector pulsewidth in units of 1/10th of a microsecond (0.0000001 second). Individual cylinder fuel trim is included and user adjustable.
ACCURATE IGNITION TIMING UNDER ANY CONDITION
InfinityTuner software features a 3D ignition trim map (coolant and air temp based), and its back-end timing code is tested to 100,000 RPM. Individual cylinder ignition trim is included.
FLEX FUEL COMPENSATION
Flex fuel compatibility is included, and the Infinity is able to make automatic adjustments for ethanol content in the fuel with the addition of an ethanol content sensor (sold separately).
The Infinity has the ability to run two separate fuel types simultaneously through staged fuel injection
DRIVE BY WIRE CAPABILITY
The Infinity-8/10 ECU can control one drive by wire throttle bodies and includes auto calibration for DBW sensors. It includes idle control, an optional drive by wire rev limiter (for use as a launch limiter, holding limiter or in conjunction with other rev limiters) and necessary failsafes based on redundant sensor inputs. Traction control via drive by wire will be added in the future at no additional cost for existing Infinity ECU owners.
The Infinity ECU uses a coolant temp based idle control model. It includes an RPM vs. Engine Speed Rate idle decel feature that provides accurate control of the IAC and allows for adjustment of engine braking. The Infinity’s idle TPS offset provides smoother low idle operation when necessary, like driving in the pits or return lane following a pass.
MULTIPLE BOOST CONTROL STRATEGIES
Choose from time, gear, vehicle speed, switch based or other boost control strategies. The Infinity’s boost control includes two 2D base duty tables and two 2D boost target tables. The second tables can be used as a trim, and users can choose from multiple strategies including IAT, MAP, Baro (kpa), throttle %, flex fuel content, boost target and more. Please visit our Forumfor an in depth review of the Infinity’s boost control capabilities.
The Infinity’s software allows you to run a single-stage wet or dry nitrous set up (four-stage available soon). This feature includes nitrous timing delay to account for nitrous bleed out, and can be set up for water/methanol injection tuning. Four stage nitrous will be upgraded for free for existing Infinity users when it becomes available.
VARIABLE VALVE CAM CONTROL
Set base duty, limit and VVC cam target for up to four cams through the InfinityTuner Wizard. Users are able to achieve a VVC cam target by setting Cam 1 base timing and base duty cycle % in a 2D table, and the software features a 1D base duty % table that controls the base duty cycle for the VVC output, which is tunable based on the VVC target.
The Infinity includes up to four separate ignition maps, four separate Lambda maps and two separate VE maps with independent values. Using AEM’s 12 Position Trim Pot, this powerful feature delivers many valuable tuning options including:
- Multiple maps for multiple track conditions (practice map, rain map, qualifying map, FTW map)
- Change boost target
- Change Lambda target
- Change ignition target
- Tie boost, Lambda and ignition targets together and change them all
- Ideal for test mapping during tuning
- Change boost base duty
- Control PWM switches (like water/methanol injection)
- Choose between 2 VE tables for VVC or when restrictors are in place
- Blend between flex fuel ignition maps
- Blend by cam position and gear
Multiple engine protection strategies are incorporated into the Infinity ECU. Available strategies include:
- MAP (create limp mode using Assumed Pressure Ratio table to compensate for pressure if sensor fails)
- Overboost (boost fuel cut until boost/throttle decreases)
- Fuel pressure (injector flow compensated for variations in pressure, sensor required)
- Oil pressure (trigger light or limit RPM if pressure drops below set value, sensor required)
- RPM (rev limiter)
- Coolant temperature, Temp vs. RPM (fuel and ignition cut, sensor required)
- Knock control with feedback
- Lean protection (fuel and ignition cut)
REAL-TIME ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS
The Infinity’s diagnostics software can be configured to constantly monitor signal and current quality to alert the user of a potential issue before it creates the potential for engine damage.
INTERNAL WIDEBAND CONTROLLER
Dual Bosch wideband controllers are built into Infinity-8/10 ECUs. This provides highly accurate closed-loop AFR targeting and enables the sensor diagnostics in the ECU to determine the operational condition of the sensor.
LIGHTNING-FAST DATA LOGGING
Infinity’s logging feature supports 2 different file systems. A custom file system option will support 100 channels at up to 1 KHz using a high performance USB flash drive (sold separately). A standard FAT file system will support 10 channels at up to 1KHz, 20 channels at up to 500Hz or 100 channels at up to 200Hz. The Infinity includes a 4GB USB memory stick and the user can replace this with up to 64GB. Additionally, the user can also log direct to the PC at up to 500Hz when connected.
AEMdata DATA ANALYSIS SOFTWARE
AEMdataprovides an advanced interface for viewing the log files generated by the Infinity ECU.
DUAL KNOCK SENSING
Dual knock signal conditioning circuits allow for precise measurements of knock levels. The Infinity can utilize both Piezoelectric and Flat Response type knock sensors.
The Infinity ECU is constructed using automotive-rated components designed to withstand the harshest racing environments. Its enclosure and connectors are sealed to make it suitable for engine bay mounting. An advanced wear-leveling strategy for flash memory ensures a lifetime of reliable performance.

It seems Ned Nwoko would go to any length to protect his new bride
Remember a few weeks ago, we brought you news from a reliable source that Ned Nwoko outrightly refused allowing his young bride and actress Regina Daniels from featuring in the sequel of Merry Men the movie.
The movie Merry Men which is owned by comedian Ayo Makun's began shooting it's sequel in Abuja, after that they moved on to conclude the scenes in Lagos.
While in Abuja Ay comedian wanted to incorporate Regina Daniels into his new movie because of her over 4 million fans, he knew would watch his movie because of her appearance in it.
He allegedly approached the actress and decided to inculcate her into the movie as a member of the Biker girls in Merry Men 2. Regina was elated, because it would be her first break into the cinema, after going through the script.
She reportedly told her beloved husband Ned who declined and opted to pay her instead since some scenes involved a bit of kissing and romance.
The grapevine said that after turning down the script, Ay didn't give up on trying to convince her. Ned must have seen that she really wanted to act in the movie and allowed her on the condition that he will be there during the shoot.
Needless to say Regina had no other option in the matter as she was caught between the rock and a hard place.
She told Ay her husband had given her permission to act in his movie. Regina features in the sequel of Merry Men as Zara, one of the Biker Girls.
Ay flew the cast to Abuja again and they had to inculcate Regina in the movie and her husband was there throughout her shoot.
There are speculations that apart from Ay wanting Regina in the movie, he also desires financial goodwill from Regina’s benevolent billionaire Ned Nwoko.

House Speaker Ryan says pulled health care bill is a 'setback'
Determined to destroy Barack Obama’s signature health care achievement, Republicans in Congress and President Donald Trump have insisted that the Affordable Care Act is a failure. If it were a car, it would be “missing two tires, leak gas and have a busted transmission.” The health care system is in a “death spiral.” Americans yearn to be freed from this “nightmare.”
Yet on Friday, as Trump and House Republicans conceded a humiliating defeat and pulled their repeal-and-replace bill minutes before a vote was scheduled, polls showed no such sentiment among American voters.
A Kaiser Family Foundation survey showed 51 percent of Americans don’t want a repeal. A Quinnipiac poll showed only 17 percent of voters want the Republican replacement. Not even a majority of Republicans liked the awful plan cooked up by the House, which would have left 24 million people uninsured over the next decade, and needlessly threatened the health care of millions of Californians.
Why the disconnect? Maybe because the existing system, while flawed, isn’t a disaster. Maybe because Americans – who mostly get health insurance through their employers – don’t mind that 20 million of the less privileged among us can finally afford health care.
Maybe because what’s collapsed is the construct of lies Republicans used to undercut Obamacare.
Trump and Congress should think hard about the recklessness and dishonesty with which they have approached this life-and-death issue.
Somewhere on the cutting room floor there probably is an honest debate to be had about whether Americans care about each other’s health and how we should pay for it if a healthy populace is important. And somewhere in that debate, there’s a truthful conservative argument for repealing Obamacare.
If so, it probably sounds like the Freedom Caucus, which threw a monkey wrench into the Republican replacement plan this week by insisting it be stripped of any mandate requiring collective support for society’s collective well being.
Helping each other ought to be an option, not a law, the Freedomites feel. For them, it wasn’t enough that the first draft of the GOP replacement would have yanked health insurance from 14 million people next year to bestow a huge tax cut on the rich.
They wanted to hasten that tax cut, halving the original plan’s deficit reductions. They wanted to ax provisions requiring coverage of pre-existing conditions and inclusion of children up to age 26 on their parents’ policies.
They wanted states to be able to impose work requirements on Medicaid patients, and force new mothers to get back to work within two months of child birth. They wanted to strip the measure of key safeguards requiring insurers to cover health care essentials – emergency services, wellness visits, rehabilitative services, maternity care, addiction treatment and mental health care.
Conservatives want an end to “health benefits that force an older, teetotaling couple to have to purchase coverage for drug rehabilitation and pediatric care,” as Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Elk Grove – whose own congressional coverage is top-of-the-line – put it. But pooled risk is the basis not only for civil society, but insurance.
The far right is entitled to its opinion, but the truth is, most Americans disagree with it.
It’s anyone’s guess what ultimately will happen to the Republican alternative to the Affordable Care Act. Trump – who, incredibly, tried to blame Democrats for a failure that belongs to him and the Republican-controlled Congress – is trying to administratively gut it. And, though House Speaker Paul Ryan mourned Friday that Obamacare will remain the law “for the foreseeable future,” his caucus has hated it for too long for their dream of its death to entirely go away.
But politically, Trump, Ryan and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy should think hard about the recklessness and dishonesty with which they have approached this life-and-death issue.
“Repeal-and-replace” would not, as Trump has claimed, produce “a beautiful picture.” It would not end some imaginary “nightmare,” as Ryan keeps insisting. There are good reasons why everyone from hospitals to retirees to some Republican governors opposed it.
Voters want improvements in health care, but nobody likes to be lied to. Go back to the drawing board, Congress. And don’t come back until you have a bipartisan plan that’s reality-based.

Yes, the Amp’d story refuses to die: Amp’d Mobile is trying to raise cash, even from its former CEO Peter Adderton, to repay some of its creditors by auctioning off intellectual property, according to The Deal.
The article said Amp’d is seeking funds from at least 20 parties, ranging from Adderton to Merrill Lynch & Co., GE Capital Financial, Latham & Watkins LLP, MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA) on Campus and Playboy Enterprises (NYSE: PLA) International. Assets for sale– being hawked by talent agency William Morris Agency, Quinn Pacific and Mosaic Capital– include the company’s brand, trademarks, content such as the “Lil’ Bush” cartoon and a mobile content studio. In particular, the company is seeking as much as $1.15 million in payments made to Adderton, who allegedly “refused to perform certain aspects of his employment” and “threatened to take actions that would damage” the company. The Deal said it is unclear whether the passages are merely describing a dispute between Adderton and the board.
Today, Adderton and some of Amp’d’s former employees are working at ClearMedia, a new content division at WiMax company Clearwire.

Inside the Los Angeles high school specially designed for teenage mums
Issued on: Modified:
In the US, some 200,000 girls under the age of 19 give birth every year, many of them from disadvantaged backgrounds. The phenomenon is so widespread that some cities now offer specialised classrooms for pregnant students and new mothers. Our correspondent visited one such programme in Los Angeles, Thomas Riley High School, which is attended by 90 girls aged 14 to 21. It offers a protective environment to teenage mums in a bid to see them complete their secondary education.

A chemical compound used to make non-stick cookware, food wrappers, and water-resistant coatings for carpets and fabrics has been linked to an increased risk for thyroid disease in an early study.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
has previously been shown to influence thyroid hormone levels in animals.
But the newly reported study is among the first to suggest that exposure to PFOA might cause thyroid disease in humans.
The study included nearly 4,000 adults who took part in the CDC’s ongoing nationwide Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES) study between 1999 and 2006.
Researchers found that participants who had the highest levels of PFOA in their blood also had the highest self-reported incidence of thyroid disease.
Specifically, women with the top 25% of PFOA concentrations were more than twice as likely to report taking drugs for thyroid disease as the 50% of participants with the lowest concentrations. A similar trend was seen in men, although it didn’t reach statistical significance.
The study does not prove that PFOA exposure is a direct cause of thyroid disease, researcher David Melzer, PhD, of Peninsula Medical School in Exeter, England, tells WebMD.
“I personally am far from sure, but it might prove to be an important risk factor for people who are already susceptible,” he says.
Concerns have been raised about the man-made chemicals because they are now found in low levels in the environment and in the blood of most people and they remain in the blood for many years.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is investigating the compound, but at present it considers the routine use of consumer products made with it to be safe.

Putin's spokesman rules out return of the illegally annexed Crimea
The Kremlin supports Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's wish "to return Donbas" for humanitarian reasons but does not accept any claims on Crimea, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, according to TASS.
"If he meant returning Donbas for humanitarian reasons, this statement can be supported," said Peskov when asked by TASS how the Kremlin responded to Poroshenko's statement he wants to bring back Crimea and Donetsk the way Nadiya Savchenko had been brought.
"That's what Moscow hopes for," he added. "As for Crimea, we do not comment on claims regarding Russian regions," Peskov added.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko pledged to retake Russian-occupied Crimea and Donbas the same way captive pilot Nadia Savchenko had been returned to Ukraine.

Jessie James Decker recently lived it up on a beach vacation and posted several snaps to Instagram as proof. In one, the country singer-songwriter and mom of two shared a bikini photo of herself sitting in a beachside lounger, sipping iced tea. “Just another day in paradise!!! #icetea #kittenishsuit #comingsoon #loosemommyskin,” she captioned the picture.
Decker is a mom to daughter Vivianne Rose, 2½, and son Eric Thomas, 16 months, and she’s been open about the fact that her body has changed after having kids. A few months after having her son, the 28-year-old posted a photo on Instagram of her midsection, which she says was in response to comments that she looks “tiny” postpartum. “I don’t want to mislead any mommies who just had babies and are stressing!” she wrote. “I am still 15 pounds away from what I was originally before I got pregnant with Vivianne. I take occasional walks but haven’t done anything yet to try and lose weight and am in no rush!”
Decker’s “loose mommy skin” isn’t rare, Gary Goldenberg, M.D., medical director of the Dermatology Faculty Practice at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, tells SELF. “Loose skin after pregnancy is very common,” he says. “Most women experience some of it.”
Loose skin actually has a scientific name—skin laxity—and it can occur in postpartum moms, as well as anyone who has gained and lost significant amounts of weight, New York City dermatologist Doris Day, M.D., author of Forget the Facelift, tells SELF.
In postpartum women, skin laxity happens because there is "significant” stretching of the skin during pregnancy due to the growing fetus, Joshua Zeichner, M.D., a New York City–based board-certified dermatologist and director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, tells SELF. And, after women deliver, their skin doesn’t always go back to how it used to be.
