The last couple of weeks have been pretty brutal -- I can only hope that the monsoon season will bring us a break from the extreme heat.
In the meantime, there's at least a little relief, in the form of two new gelato shops that have recently opened.
At the Shops at Norterra, 2530 W. Happy Valley Rd., 25-year-old entrepreneur Charles Lauletta opened Paciugo, a local outpost of a Dallas-based gelato chain founded by an Italian native. Along with nearly 30 flavors of gelato and sorbet, Paciugo also offers hazelnut soy, and no-sugar-added vanilla.
And out in Fountain Hills, world traveler Zomore Quan has opened her first business, La Scala Creamery (12645 N. Saguaro Blvd.), featuring homemade gelato as well as homemade cones, made from an Italian cookie recipe.
Mrs. Quan also teaches occasional cooking classes on topics such as making kefir (a fermented milk drink) and healthful fermented vegetable dishes. For more info, call 480-836-4444.

On Monday evening, I went to a local indie show. There were two drummers, two bassists, one saxophonist, one guitarist, and two graphic artists. There were also two models, sitting in the corner smiling at people, and about eighty of–well, of us, the hipster detritus that collects somewhere like Sarasota. Most of stood quietly, sipping beer and wiggling uncommitedly. But a few people, without asking, walked among the musicians, brushing past them when they felt like it and constantly shoving gadgets in their faces.
Why does carrying a camera excuse egregious violations of norms regarding personal and social space?

When looking for a property to buy, it is important to consider important elements like location. Buying a house or property in a good location is a long lasting investment. Some real estate agents can recommend you to purchase the worst house or a property, but is on a good location because fixing the house in a great neighborhood would help you save and get greatest return on your investment. It would also be easier to trade it. If you are planning to investment in a great home here are 5 features you should look for when purchasing a house, or a property.
A safe neighborhood
A safe neighborhood means that people can move freely and intermingle with other neighbors in the area. People prefer living in areas where the crime rate is low, or there is no crime at all. They want to feel safe and secure in their homes. There are still places where people leave their houses unlocked and they know they will be safe. In case of anything, they know their neighbors will be there for them.
A neighborhood with a good school is important even if you does not have children who are schooling. A neighborhood with better schools has also great values of the surrounding homes. The truth is, new families with children who are going to school will purchase houses in the neighborhood. When purchasing a house it is good to think like a seller because you might think of reselling the house in the near future.
Convenient access to popular places, shops, and restaurants
You should look for a neighborhood where there are shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants. People are willing to extra for home, which is located near places with commercial activities since they will access them easily.
Water access and views
Water is an essential service. People are willing to pay more for homes which are easily accessible to water. Places where there is a water, or panoramic views will be highly demanded and their value will also be high.
Access to public transit and/or freeways
A home where public transport is close-by, or roads are accessible is more valuable than a home where the public transit is far. Look for a location where there is easy access to public transportation. You will only take less time to go to a place where you want.

STATE OF MINNESOTA
IN COURT OF APPEALS
State of Minnesota,
Jay Loren Kieffer,
Filed March 23, 1999
Washington County District Court
File No. K5-97-1214
Douglas Johnson, Washington County Attorney, Jay A. Brunner, Assistant County Attorney, 14949 62nd Street North, P.O. Box 6, Stillwater, MN 55082-0006 (for respondent)
Peter J. Timmons, Metro Office Park, 2850 Metro Drive, #321, Bloomington, MN 55425 (for appellant)
Considered and decided by Harten, Presiding Judge, Huspeni, Judge, and Holtan, Judge.[**]
In challenging his conviction for a fifth-degree controlled substance crime, appellant asserts that the district court erred by refusing to suppress all evidence and dismiss the charges. He argues that police did not have a reasonable, articulable basis for the initial seizure. He also argues that, because he was not given a Miranda warning prior to his statement, the district court erred in refusing to suppress his admission that the folded paper packet found in his pocket contained cocaine. Because we conclude that the district court did not err, we affirm.
Kieffer was charged with a fifth-degree controlled substance crime and with driving after suspension. Kieffer moved to suppress all of the evidence obtained incident to his arrest and moved to dismiss the charges. The district court denied his motions. Kieffer and the state then stipulated to the facts, and the district court found Kieffer guilty of the controlled substance crime and not guilty of driving after suspension.
The validity of an investigative stop, or seizure, is a legal determination dependent on given facts. State v. Dickerson, 469 N.W.2d 462, 464 (Minn. App. 1991), aff'd, 481 N.W.2d 840 (Minn. 1992), aff'd, 508 U.S. 366, 113 S. Ct. 2130 (1993). A seizure occurs "`when [an] officer, by means of physical force or show of authority, has in some way restrained the liberty of a citizen.'" In re Welfare of E.D.J., 502 N.W.2d 779, 781 (Minn. 1993) (quoting Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 19 n.16, 88 S. Ct. 1868, 1879 n.16 (1968)). For a seizure to occur, the actions by the police must be such that a reasonable person would believe that he or she is not free to leave. Id. at 783.
Kieffer asserts that Officer Ayers seized him when Ayers asked for identification and had him step out of his vehicle and that this seizure was not based on a reasonable, articulable suspicion that he was engaged in criminal activity.
While we conclude that Ayers did not seize Kieffer when Ayers approached Kieffer's parked vehicle and questioned him, see id. at 782 (stating seizure generally does not occur when police approach and question person sitting in parked vehicle), we agree that a seizure occurred when Ayers asked Kieffer to exit the vehicle. See id. at 781 (recognizing seizure occurs when officer demonstrates show of authority). Ayers needed to have a reasonable and articulable suspicion, at that time, that Kieffer was engaged in criminal activity. See State v. Dickerson, 481 N.W.2d 840, 843 (Minn. 1992) (stating officer must, to validate stop, have reasonable, articulable suspicion that suspect might be engaged in criminal activity), aff'd, 508 U.S. 366, 113 S. Ct. 2130 (1993). We conclude that Ayers had a reasonable and articulable suspicion.
A brief investigatory stop or seizure requires only reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and does not require probable cause. State v. Pike, 551 N.W.2d 919, 921 (Minn. 1996). "An actual violation of the vehicle and traffic laws need not be detectable." Id. A stop cannot be based on "mere whim, caprice or idle curiosity," however, and must be based on "`specific and articulable facts which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant that intrusion.'" Id. at 921-22 (Minn. 1996) (quoting Terry, 392 U.S. at 21, 88 S. Ct. at 1880).
As Kieffer correctly observes, Minn. Stat. § 171.24, subd. 1 (1998), prohibits only the operation of a vehicle after suspension and does not prohibit mere physical control. See In re the Welfare of T.J.B., 488 N.W.2d 1, 3 (Minn. App. 1992) (recognizing Minn. Stat. § 171.24 (1990) did not include physical-control standard), review denied (Minn. Sept. 30, 1992). But the statutory requirement of "operation" does not defeat Ayers's reasonable and articulable suspicion. Kieffer was the only person in the vehicle when Ayers approached, the vehicle was registered in Kieffer's name, Kieffer was seated in the driver's seat, and he was parked at a rest stop located just off Interstate 35 at 2:45 a.m. These facts are sufficient to support the district court's determination that Ayers seized Kieffer based on a reasonable, articulable suspicion that Kieffer had been operating the vehicle rather than on "mere whim, caprice or idle curiosity." Pike, 551 N.W.2d at 921. Therefore, the district court did not err in refusing to suppress all evidence obtained after Ayers seized Kieffer and did not err in refusing to dismiss the charges.
2. Miranda warning
Appellate courts independently review district court determinations "regarding custody and the necessity of a Miranda warning." State v. Miller, 573 N.W.2d 661, 670 (Minn. 1998) (citation omitted). A Miranda warning is required only during custodial interrogation. Id. "Interrogation" means not only express questioning but also any words or actions by the police "`that the police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect.'" State v. Ingold, 450 N.W.2d 344, 346-47 (Minn. App. 1990) (quoting Rhode Island v. Innis, 446 U.S. 291, 301, 100 S. Ct. 1682, 1689-90 (1980)), review denied (Minn. Mar. 8, 1990). "`Any statement given freely and voluntarily without any compelling influences is, of course, admissible in evidence.'" State v. Edrozo, 578 N.W.2d 719, 725 (Minn. 1998) (quoting Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 478, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 1630 (1966)).
Kieffer argues that the district court erred in refusing to suppress his statement that the folded paper packet found in his pocket contained cocaine because he made the statement before being given a Miranda warning. Neither Kieffer nor the state disputes that Kieffer was under arrest for an outstanding warrant when Ayers questioned Kieffer about the packet. The district court determined that Ayers's question did not require a Miranda warning because it was "[g]eneral on-the-scene questioning * * * for purposes of obtaining an inventory of [Kieffer's] personal property." The court went on to state that Kieffer's answer was "voluntary and spontaneous." We disagree and believe a Miranda warning was required.
This is not a case where police were merely asking investigatory questions to determine whether there was probable cause to arrest. See State v. England, 409 N.W.2d 262, 265 (Minn. App. 1987) (emphasizing statements that are product of threshold investigatory questioning do not require Miranda warning). Kieffer was already under arrest for an outstanding warrant when Ayers questioned him. Further, there is no indication that Ayers was questioning Kieffer merely for the purpose of inventorying Kieffer's property. Kieffer was responding to a direct question from Ayers; his answer was not "voluntary and spontaneous."
We cannot conclude our inquiry at this point, however. Although Ayers violated Kieffer's Fifth Amendment rights by failing to give Kieffer a Miranda warning before questioning him about the packet, a district court's error in admitting a statement does not necessitate reversal if the admission was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See State v. Juarez, 572 N.W.2d 286, 291 (Minn. 1997) (stating conviction may stand if erroneously admitted statement was harmless beyond reasonable doubt). When determining whether evidence is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, the court must establish whether the challenged evidence might reasonably have contributed to the defendant's conviction. Id. We conclude that the district court's refusal to suppress the evidence was harmless error.
Here, Kieffer was searched incident to his arrest, and, therefore, a search for evidence and weapons was legal. See State v. Varnado, 582 N.W.2d 886, 892 (Minn. 1998) (stating search incident to arrest is valid and does not require additional justification; arresting officer may search for weapons and evidence). Subsequent testing established that the packet found in Kieffer's pocket contained methamphetamine. Kieffer makes no challenge to this testing. Further, even if Ayers had not discovered the packet and learned its contents during the search incident to Kieffer's arrest, the contents of the packet would have been discovered during a routine inventory search after Kieffer was transported to jail. See Geer v. State, 406 N.W.2d 34, 36 (Minn. App. 1987) (noting pursuant to inventory search, police may examine "all items removed from the arrestee's person or possession" when an arrestee is going to be jailed), review denied (Minn. July 15, 1987). Thus, because the packet was seized properly and its identification as methamphetamine is unchallenged, ample evidence of Kieffer's guilt existed independent of his statement. The district court's error in refusing to suppress Kieffer's statement was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.

It would be hard to blame someone for walking out on "Spring Breakers" after its first half-hour. The opening montage is like a batch of outtakes from a "Girls Gone Wild" video, as dozens of oiled, inebriated American youths shake their stuff for the camera, pouring beer on bared breasts and generally making you fret for the future of the country, if not humanity.
Meanwhile, at an anonymous college (though probably not an Ivy League institution), a quartet of nubile young women lament their inability to attend this ritual bacchanal. The relatively innocent, dark-haired one, naturally named Faith (Selena Gomez), and her three virtually indistinguishable bad-girl pals Brit (Ashley Benson), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) lack the cash to make the trip.
After a brazen diner holdup committed with a squirt gun and a sledge hammer provides the funds, though, the four are off to Florida, where they proceed to join in the inane, drug-fueled fun. Cue even more sequences of misogynistic, half-naked beach antics. And more. At this point, the relentlessly leering camera, undeveloped characters, and repetitive scenes make it seem like the movie is intent on rubbing the audience's nose in all this candy-colored excess, and nothing more.
But director Harmony Korine has an ace, or at least a jack, up his sleeve. After running afoul of the law, the girls are bailed out of jail by Alien, a cornrowed, metal-grinned operator played by James Franco. It's a pleasure, so soon after seeing Franco's recent bewildered performance in "Oz the Great and Powerful," to watch him tackle this menacing yet beguiling character. Alien takes our spring breakers under his drug-dealing, bling-bearing wing, and Franco runs with the role, especially during a monologue where he implores them to "look at all my (stuff)!" Some of them take to it, some don't (you can probably guess who's the first to raise objections), and before long Alien's new accomplices draw the ire of Archie (rapper Gucci Mane), Alien's friend-turned-rival.
Cast and crew:
James Franco, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, Gucci Mane; directed by Harmony Korine
Four college student girlfriends head to Florida for a good time but end up in the orbit of a charismatic, menacing drug dealer named Alien. Korine wallows in the depravity, but with the hint of some substance underneath, and Franco steals the show as Alien.
Part of what makes "Spring Breakers" such a curious object are the names involved. Two of the four female leads, Gomez and Hudgens, are products of the Disney child star factory, having starred in the TV series "The Wizards of Waverly Place" and the "High School Musical" movies, respectively. Gomez's reticence and Hudgens' enthusiasm toward casting off their innocent images seem shared by the actresses and their characters.
And this is by far the highest-budgeted, highest-profile effort from Korine, whose previous, divisive films include "Gummo" and "Julien Donkey-Boy." Those impressionistic, often unpleasant movies share with this one a willingness, even a desire, to alienate viewers. Here, though, Korine seems, almost despite himself, to have something more than hip nihilism as his goal.
In one sense, this is a simple-minded tale of the depths to which numbed kids will descend to escape their humdrum, thrill-free reality. But there are moments of captivating, surreal potency, including one involving a white grand piano, unicorn-adorned pink ski masks, assault weapons and a Britney Spears ballad. (The pop star gets name-checked twice, in fact, setting her up as the paragon of these lost souls' dreams.)
It's also no coincidence that the only time we see the girls attending class, the topic is the civil rights movement. The Caucasian Alien's appropriation of African American gangsta mannerisms mirrors the breakers' initial desire to dip their toes in dangerous waters without getting their ankles wet. Burying this stuff beneath an onslaught of prurient depravity makes Korine seem almost embarrassed at putting actual content in one of his films. But it's there, and indicates that the onetime enfant terrible of independent film might just have something to say.

Auckland City Council is warning residents to supervise their children and dogs across eastern beaches from Okahu Bay to Kohimarama.
The warning follows the discovery of more toxic sea slugs. Some have been collected from Mission Bay for the first time, while another was found in a rock pool close to Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World.
The council says it is putting up further signs warning beach users about the slugs and will be distributing leaflets to local residents.
Several dogs became ill, and five died, after eating the grey sea slugs, which contain tetrodotoxin, almost a year ago.
Further sightings should be reported immediately to the council.
Gone by October, hopefully
The technical manager at the Cawthron Research Institute, Paul McNabb, says the slugs' resurgence is due to their life cycle.
They are likely to be in their highest numbers on Auckland's beaches about now, he says, as their breeding season comes to an end.
Mr McNabb says that if last year's pattern repeats, most of the slugs will be off the shores after October.


According to Russian news agency TASS, Russian state corporation Rosoboronexport has decided not to take part in the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs tender of procurement of about 20,000 assault rifles chambered in 7.62x39mm caliber.
The TASS source (undisclosed) said that the tender requirements are tailored for Bulgarian rifles and disqualify Russian offers of 7.62x39mm rifles. Among the most important parts of the tender was the supply of steel magazines. Russia doesn’t make steel magazines for a long time. They were first replaced with bakelite and then other polymer magazines. Another requirement was to have a steel folding stock. The modern Russian export AKs (100-series) feature polymer folding stocks. All these requirements pretty much disqualify the Russian AK-103 rifles from this tender.
Rosoboronexport has confirmed their exit from the tender but refused to comment the procurement policy of Indian Ministry of Home Affairs saying that commenting it would be inappropriate.
The Kalashnikov Concern has published a news release where they say that they are surprised to see steel magazines being a requirement. According to the KC, steel magazines quickly rust in hot and humid climate and in general they are not as durable as plastic ones. They even plan to invite Indian journalists and firearms experts to demonstrate the advantages of 100-series AK rifles. The Kalashnikov Concern also stated that in case if the tender requirements are changed making the AK-103 entry possible, they’ll re-enter it.

Bush scraps island's annual arms review
2001-04-25 04:00:00 PDT Washington -- President Bush said yesterday that he will scrap the annual process of selling arms to Taiwan, ending a policy used by the United States since 1982 to provide the island with weapons to defend itself against China.
The president described his decision this week to offer Taiwan the largest arms package in almost a decade as the "right package for the moment." But in a move that could reassure China, Bush indicated that his administration would try to avoid the contentious, once-a-year showdown over arms sales to Taiwan.
While the United States would "reserve the right" to arm Taiwan, Bush said, "We have made it clear to the Taiwanese that we will not have this so-called annual review -- that we will meet on an as-needed basis."
The president said this week's offer of weapons to Taiwan was unrelated to the surveillance-plane standoff with China. Bush said he wasn't concerned that the offer would worsen relations with Beijing, and he still expects to take a state visit to China in the fall.
"There's going to be some areas where we disagree, and one area where we disagree . . . is whether or not the United States ought to provide defensive arms for Taiwan, which I have done."
But the president also offered conciliatory remarks toward China, saying he didn't view that country as an "enemy" and said competition between the two nations "does not necessarily mean distrust, anger, you know, furor." Bush noted "the fact that this nation is making progress toward more freedom, albeit not at the pace we'd like to see in America."
The decision not to have an annual review for arms sales to Taiwan is likely to benefit China, which considers Taiwan a breakaway province, because Taiwan will no longer automatically be on the agenda each year. As a result, U. S. administrations will never have to declare that they have rejected an arms request from Taiwan, thereby enabling them to sidestep criticism from U.S. supporters of Taiwan.
In reality, the United States was always free to sell weapons to Taiwan "as needed," and in fact has done so outside the annual review process, such as when then-President George Bush unveiled the sale of 150 F-16s to Taiwan during the 1992 presidential campaign.

Too many feelings
Just when we thought we couldn’t get any more emotionally wrecked, there’s now the possibility of a SZA x Frank Ocean-made track. Fingers crossed.
The ‘CTRL‘ singer took to Instagram stories to share that she was down to ask Frank to collaborate on a future remix of her latest single ‘Good Days’ released this December 25.
‘Imma ask lol,’ SZA wrote in the now-expired Story, along with a Tweet saying that ‘Good days by SZA ft. Frank ocean would literally cure corona.’ Big claims, if true.
This wouldn’t be the first time that the two artists teased fans with the possibility of a collab, as Frank Tweeted out his 13-second take of SZA’s ‘The Weekend‘ back in January 2019. We have yet to hear of a follow-up, mind you.
With the two artists being masters of keeping fans on the edge of their seats, we’re sure it’ll take some time before we can expect an (official) project together anytime soon. It won’t stop us from daydreaming about it though.
Always on our mind, always on our mind
good luck we still waiting on his cover of the weekend😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/I1Jcb2lxBX

Romeo and Juliet Essay
In Romeo and Juliet there is an emphasis on the theme of communication and the tragedy of misunderstanding. The examples of this in the play are the fight between Romeo, Mercrutio and Tybalt, when Juliet’s parents believe that she is crying over the death of Tybalt but really she is crying for Romeo and the miscommunication between Friar Lawrence, Balthassar and Romeo. There is a vast lack of communication between Romeo, Mercutio, and Tybalt. Tybalt demands Romeo to fight him but Romeo does not want to fight because he does not see the point in it as well as realizing that Tybalt is his kinsman because of his and Juliets secret wedding. When Tybalt is trying to pick a fight Romeo replies, " I ... love thee better than thou canst devise ... So, good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as my own, be satisfied" (119. 69-73). This confuses both Mercutio and Tybalt because they do not know why he is saying this and why he suddenly likes the Capulet’s. However Mercrutio fights Tybalt when Romeo refuses to. Romeo tries to stop the fight and he orders Benvolio to, "Beat down their weapons", then he demanded, "Hold Tybalt! Good Mercutio!" (121. 87+91) as he steps in front of them. He fails to stop the fight and instead Mercrutio is killed. This leads to Romeo becoming infuriated and he kills Tybalt. All of this could have been prevented if Romeo had only told everyone that he had wedded Juliet, who made him and Tybalt related, therefore explaining why he would not fight him. Misunderstanding is the root cause of the fight between Mercrutio, Tybalt and Romeo.
In another scene in which there is poor communication is when Juliet’s parents assume she is heartbroken by the death of her cousin, Tybalt, because they do not know she is married to Romeo and is crying because he has been banished. Therefore, they try to do what they think is best for their daughter by marrying her to Paris to take her troubled mind off her dead cousin. In this...

From health point of view staying online for long period of time is hazardous. Kids should go out to play, test their physical endurance and be active. Yes social media is termed as addiction by many researchers. But the only benefit I see in social media is that it connected right wing people across the nations. Almost every nation is fed up of Left wing politicians. They are bored with media doing circus on prime time debates and some self proclaimed intellectuals who concentrate on defending Islam after every terrorist. Common people never got platform to express their platforms but social media especially Twitter gave them opportunity.
Media is self certified fourth pillar of democracy. Constitution never said these jokers make the fourth pillar of state. Everyone has right to speech. The only difference is media channels have camera and their anchor sit in good studios with too much make up.
Media propaganda while covering elections
It was felt by many Indians in 2014 that ruling party Congress will lose elections. There were talks about Narendra Modi all around. News anchors jumped like monkeys in their TV studios labelled Modi as anti-Muslim quoting Gujarat 2002 riots again and again.
The media comfortable forgot how Islamic Jihad killed and kicked out Kashmiri Hindus in 1989-90. There were 2012 Assam riots in which Bangladesh Muslims threatened local Hindus in Assam and West Bengal. Even after 800 years of Islamic rule in India if Muslims are poor then its not fault of any political party. Dressing like Arabs will not help them but media only blamed Modi. I criticized PM Modi several times- when NIT Srinagar students were beaten by Islamic groups and BJP not taking any stand on Ram Mandir after winning 2014 elections and still there is no Temple in Ayodhya!
I remember even in 2007 Gujarat assembly elections Rajdeep Sardesai was only asking about Gujarat riots. We all know courts acquitted Narendra Modi and at a point media realized that this debate is doing reverse polarization of Hindus so they stopped discussing this. I appreciate Indian media that they showed in exit polls that BJP will be largest party and some channels even showed clear cut majority.
I saw US election coverage by International media. It was even funnier. First they said that Trump will not even become candidate. All channels started to make fun of wall and the only argument they had was- Trump is Fascist,Islamophobic. They forgot to see or they deliberately refused to see that even common people have started to hate Islam.
After immigration policies of EU and US even West started to feel the heat. Many Syrian Muslims started entering West. Many African Muslims also took shelter. It was clear that most of them were terrorists as refugees from Syria rarely had children or women!
People on social media supported Modi. Right wing thinkers gained popularity on Twitter. If you are not in closed group then Facebook puts severe restrictions on you. There were many posts by right wing thinkers that present Congress regime in India is anti Hindu. Subsidy for Hajj is given but tax on Hindu pilgrimage of Amarnath Yatra. Corruption data of Congress Govt was floating on twitter trends.
Similarly in West the rapes in European nations and right wing activist like Tommy Robinson attacked the double standards of media. Many followed him and all around the world Left wing leaders were trolled.
The liberal nightmare worsened when Trump won the elections. Despite their negative campaigning he won. Maybe wall suggested by Trump is costly but its not costlier than the National Security. Many Indian politicians refrained from attacking media directly but Trump said that media is the most corrupt institution!
People sidelined the media analysis. Many tweeted about building wall and keeping Mexicans out radical Islam out. When media discuss immigration they must keep in mind how more than 20 million illegal Bangladesh Muslims created law and order problems. Bombs are manufactured in border states.
Every channel said that Trump will lose. Newspapers like Newyork Times were pretty sure about that. Twitter population in bulk supported Trump at last he won Twitter was right mainstream media circus was wrong. Media should never under-estimate social media. Favoring Muslims in comfortable studios will wont help in knowing reality which people face on ground.
According to media Hillary was always the winner
Media hypocrisy even on small events
Crimes are bad for society. But some specific cases are picked up by media and they do they start their agenda.
Ink thrown at Rashid Engineer became symbol of Intolerance for Indian media. All media houses started favoring him said that India is very intolerant. Again social media came to the rescue. Journalist were planning to make this event as symbol of Intolerance.
But suddenly tweets started coming that when Ink was thrown at Baba Ramdev at that time media was sleeping.
Media was sympathetic for ink attack when the victim was Rashid Engineer. They forgot the blood of thousands of Kashmiri Hindus who were victims of Islamic Jihads.
Ink thrown at Muslim MLA is more valuable than Hindu blood for pro-Islamic media!
Ink on Baba Ramdev.
On Dadri Issue even some foreign channels started saying that India is intolerant. Man named Akhlaiq was beaten to death by some men. Media projected this event as Hindu Terrorism and Intolerant Award Wapsi gang was active and started returning their awards. Well people came to know that they got awards in past only when they returned it.
But Prashant Poojary in Karnataka who was killed by Muslim men for saving cow was not labelled as Islamic terror by super secular media!
Many twitter and Facebook accounts started trolling Award Wapsi gang. Moreover they never returned Awards when Tarek Fatah was attacked by Islamic goons. The tweets which exposed Award Wapsi gang were really funny.
Social media also tweeted a lot when Muslim mob in Malda (West Bengal) attacked police vans and threatened local Hindu minority. Many social media accounts started saying that media did not find Intolerance when police stations were burnt and Muslim mob wanted to behead Kamlesh Tiwari because he made remarks against Muhammad.
Pic taken from a tweet.
We all know JNU incident and how Kanhaiya Kumar was made Hero. Gurmehar Kaur who wanted extra bit of peace between India and Pakistan. She forgot that since 1947 Pakistan is our enemy and India cannot tolerate it further. We faced wars proxy terror attacks and what not. But she was trolled in a Grand style on social media. Even media people felt frustrated.
Mainstream Media hardly covers Important events
I have seen some good Facebook and Twitter accounts which post Unknown facts some Historical events review on foreign policy etc. But News channels are not interested in such things!
They are not interested in telling about Centrally Sponsored Schemes.They will not tell about UNCITRAL (Legal body of UN). India is founding member of this organization and re-elected for 6 years. Russia-China-Pakistan triangle is threat to India’s security and Indian Govt therefore started making close relationship with Afghanistan and Japan. But media will not discuss these issues. They do not care about National Security or Development policies of India. They will not use their brains in discussing issues of Border safety and Make in India initiatives. There were many Apps launched by Govt of India but media only showed BHIM app.
What media discuss it-
Statements of different politicians.
Why no Muslim candidate by BJP in election?
Why SP and Congress are together in UP elections?
Random stories of crime
India is now a racist country.
Media must realize that even Indians are attacked on foreign land and because of one incident saying that whole India has become apartheid is wrong! However even after thousand of terrorist attacks Islam is religion of peace.
Left ideology has occupied media and some educational institutions like JNU. By hiding facts and speaking half-truths media hide the true story. Earlier people believed them because their was no social media. Now true pics and videos goes viral. I agree that there are many accounts which are affiliated to political parties. But everyone gets fair chance to speak their mind in this modern era and people can contradict each other and they do so every time!

New Report Shows Outsourcing Fears Are Misplaced
Posted By Bryan Riley On June 27, 2012 @ 2:35 pm In Featured | Comments Disabled
While fears of “outsourcing ” continue to make headlines, the facts show there is no “giant sucking sound ” resulting from dollars fleeing the United States to be invested in other countries. Outsourcing occurs when companies close facilities in the United States and invest in new operations in other countries. Some people believe that the ability of people to invest anywhere in the world is bad for the United States, since jobs will be outsourced to low-wage countries.
In fact, the opposite is true. The United States benefits greatly from “insourcing ” as global investors send their dollars to the United States, creating millions of jobs here.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) just announced  that the total value of foreign investment in the United States exceeds the value of U.S. investments in other countries by more than $4 trillion. New foreign investment in the United States in 2011 alone exceeded U.S. investment in other countries by $556.3 billion.
However, the news was not all good. The BEA data showed that excessive federal spending and the resulting budget deficit continue to be a problem. Foreign investors spent more than $400 billion on U.S. Treasury securities in 2011. This is another way to say that the government borrowed more than $400 billion from foreign investors. Those dollars could have been invested otherwise in the private sector of the U.S. economy or spent on U.S. exports.
Americans should not be concerned about outsourcing, because there are many more dollars being invested in the United States than vice versa. However, Americans should be concerned about excessive federal spending. Deficit spending encourages our trading partners to buy U.S. Treasury securities to finance our government’s budget shortfall, instead of buying U.S. exports or investing in our private sector.

In 2014, former “The View” co-host Sherri Shepherd came under fire after reports surfaced showing she wanted “nothing to do” with her unborn child now that her marriage is ending. Shepherd and husband, Lamar Sally used IVF to conceive a child but is apparently uninterested in caring for the baby, who is being carried by a surrogate mother.
As LifeNews previously reported, Sally said in an interview that Shepherd has removed the newborn baby boy she had via surrogate from her health insurance. Shepherd tried to force the surrogate mother to pay child support.
But, today, a judge ruled that Shepherd is financially responsible for her child, according to People magazine:
Former The View co-host Sherri Shepherd lost her fight to have her name removed from the birth certificate of the son she had via surrogate, and she must continue paying child support for the 1-year-old boy being raised by her ex-husband, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Monday’s ruling by a Pennsylvania court of appeals was hailed by the owner of the agency who arranged the surrogacy as ” a victory for all families formed through assisted reproductive arrangements.”
Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter. Follow @LifeNewsHQ
“This will allow parents and carriers to feel secure,” Melissa Brisman, owner of the New Jersey-based Reproductive Possibilities, tells PEOPLE. “A great decision for the surrogacy community.”
The ruling upholds a lower court’s April decision that Shepherd is the legal mother of the baby, named LJ, she had with ex-husband Lamar Sally. Shepherd and Sally used a donor egg for the pregnancy, which was carried by surrogate Jessica Bartholomew. Months into the pregnancy in May 2014, Shepherd and Sally split.
Shepherd’s attorney and manager did not return requests for comment on Monday’s ruling. But in August, the star told PEOPLE she went through with the surrogacy despite her marital problems because she feared Sally would break up with her.
“My situation was a sense of, I didn’t state what I needed and what I wanted and what I didn’t want for being scared of somebody leaving the relationship,” she said. “There are consequences to everything, but I was scared to say, ‘That’s not going to work for me. I don’t want that.’ “
In a previous report, the surrogate mother said, “I could not believe this is happening. When I decided to do this for them, I didn’t think ever that this could happen. I just don’t understand how she could do that and act like this baby is non-existent. It just blows my mind….I’m angry at Sherri because she never once contacted me to tell me what was happening. She would call and check up on me during the pregnancy in the beginning. At the 20 week appointment she seemed so excited.”
This ragic situation demonstrates one of the many problems with IVF. If an egg donor changes her mind about the baby, then legal questions can arise about who will raise the child and if they will be held financially responsible after the child is born. The second problem with IVF is that unused or unwanted embryos are often discarded or destroyed.
Unfortunately in 2011, a study in the journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine revealed that 19% of unused embryos are discarded and 3% are donated for scientific research.
Additionally, a technique called “selective reduction” is sometimes used after in vitro fertilization. This is because to increase success rates IVF practitioners often implant more than one embryo in the woman’s uterus in hopes that at least one will take. Then if more embryos than are desired implant, doctors “reduce” the pregnancy down to the desired number.

Ann Marie Czopur was born in Youngstown, Ohio, the daughter of Mike and Helen Hubinsky, on August 4, 1927, the same birthday as her father. She was the granddaughter of Matus and Anna Benkovic of Allentown, PA and John and Anna Hubinsky of Youngstown. She started her life residing with her parents and older brother, Michael J. Hubinsky on Imperial St.on the West side of Youngstown. She was later joined by her younger brother Charles (Sonny) Hubinsky.
She enjoyed growing up in an ethnically diverse neighborhood. The new little girl across the street from her could only speak Italian when she moved to the neighborhood and became a lifelong friend.
Ann Marie walked to Holy Name School. Her childhood summers were spent with her mother's family in Allentown, PA with her Benkovic relatives. She was a member of the speech team at Chaney High School. She would ring her Chaney Cowboy cowbell long after she graduated. She met her husband Ed Czopur , at a Chaney-South football game.
At age 18 she traveled by train, alone, in 1945 to San Francisco to be near Ed who was recovering from his World War II wounds at a military hospital. During her stay she did clerical work for the Navy at Vallejo, CA. They returned to Youngstown and were married August 17, 1946 at Holy Name Church. Their first son, Eddie, was born while they lived on Kenmore, in Youngstown.
The family moved to Hermosa Dr. in Youngstown, her home for 70 years, in 1952. Her 2nd son Denny came along in 1955. She was a charter member of St. Christine Church and attended daily mass for many years. She volunteered at the St. Christine's school library that she helped to found with the religious staff and also enjoyed reading books to the children.
She and 7 friends from the Imperial St. neighborhood formed Club 56 and had a monthly card game for years. After her husband took up golf she took up golf too and treasured playing Par 3 golf with him.
Ann Marie was a happy housewife who enjoyed cooking, cleaning and people. She quickly made a heartfelt connection with everyone she met. A room she was in was not often quiet. She loved to talk. She knew how to tell a story and make ordinary life interesting. She was a social network and would always spread the news of family and friends. She became the "neighborhood Mom" who involved herself in everyone's activities. She was a time machine that could take you back to living in the 1930"s, 1940's and 1950's. She enjoyed watching and feeding her red winged blackbird and her cardinal outside her kitchen window. When no one was looking she fed table scraps under the table to family pets.
Ann Marie Czopur died February 19, 2022. Her husband, parents, and brothers preceded her in death.
She dearly loved her children, Ed (Linda) and Denny Czopur, grandchildren, Melanie (Dave) Gaffney, Eddie (Lindsay) Czopur, and great grandchildren, Mia, Ava, and Quinn Gaffney. She was a worrier. She constantly kept family and friends in mind. People enjoyed her company. She was happy and positive, a cheerleader to everyone.
Friends may call on Thursday February 24, 2022 from 9:30- 11:00 am at St. Christine Church with a funeral mass at 11:00 am.

Ever since Disney accomplished their acquisition of 20th Century Fox, followers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been questioning precisely how Kevin Feige would resolve to deliver Fox’s comedian ebook characters right into a shared mythology that has already been established for over a decade. Clearly, audiences are used to seeing the X-Males lineup change repeatedly after a dozen motion pictures that included sequels, reboots, spinoffs and even mixtures of the 2, however Deadpool poses an altogether completely different drawback.
Whereas Charles Xavier’s super-powered staff of mutants may very well be introduced into the MCU with a comparatively easy narrative clarification, the Merc with a Mouth is foul-mouthed, self-aware and loves to interrupt the fourth wall. Discovering a solution to deliver any individual like that right into a collection that has by no means ventured anyplace near R-rated territory or meta references will take a fragile balancing act.
With Deadpool 3 now formally in lively growth at Marvel Studios although, we’ll get our reply quickly sufficient, with loads of rumors doing the rounds already about how Wade Wilson manages to staff up with the scattered members of the Avengers. And whereas it stays to be seen what route Marvel will in the end head down, we’re now listening to of a reasonably fascinating concept that they’re mulling over for the Merc.
MORE FROM THE WEB
Based on our sources – the identical ones who informed us Aladdin 2 was in growth final yr and that Taskmaster can be the villain in Black Widow, each of which we now know to be true – Deadpool might present up as a Skrull in Captain Marvel 2. The intel we’ve gotten claims that one of many main plot threads within the sequel would be the reveal that plenty of established superheroes have been Skrulls for some time and that one thought at the moment being floated is to have Deadpool cameo as a member of the shape-shifting alien race. It’s unclear how lengthy he would’ve been a Skrull for – presumably, it will’ve occurred after Deadpool 3 – however finally, Carol Danvers and whoever finally ends up combating alongside her will understand that they’re battling an enemy, with the true model of the Merc with a Mouth showing by the top as soon as the specter of the Skrulls has been handled.
Whereas none of this may be formally confirmed as to be occurring but and is only one potential thought, having Deadpool cameo as a Skrull in Captain Marvel 2 will surely match his established popularity if dealt with proper. Give it some thought. The actual Wade Wilson might present up and crack a joke or two about Disney or Fox being chargeable for having him changed by an alien, earlier than poking enjoyable on the MCU by asking what occurred to the X-Males. It might positively make sense for Marvel Studios to have him cameo in different movies within the franchise, too, simply so everybody is aware of that he’s now a part of the identical universe as all the opposite heroes.

As you all must have heard, Testosterone is the primary male hormone to build muscle which is also responsible for sexual performance , hair growth, your heart , your bone strength and a lot more things in human anatomy.
In the modern lifestyle , where most of us binge on junk food, alcohol , drugs for temporary pleasures and tastes there has been a huge drop in the testosterone levels of many of us. Not because our own eating habits but also the low carb diet and low fat diet available in the markets today especially in India has contributed to this decreament.
Our human body produces 7 mg of this hormone every day that’s approximately 50 mg per week.
Though there are some supplements for example, testosterone boosters , available at every supplement shop but this supplement only fulfills 5-10% of what it is actually required.
Instead, invest in these 3 handy testosterone rich foods for a healthy body and better you.
1. EGG YOLK
We all are advised in our health centers or gyms to consume only the white part in eggs because it is rich in protein and amino acids but the yellow part is also essential for our body in another aspect.
The egg yolk is high in VITAMIN D and boosts our testosterone levels if taken in limited proportions.
If we consume 7 eggs , we can eat the egg whites and egg yolk in the ratio 6:1 i.e 6 egg whites and one whole egg. This regime will ensure that our testosterone levels are in complete check.
But in case a person has high cholesterol levels , he shouldn’t consume the whole egg as it would only increase it. Further , he can add spinach and mushrooms in his diet to keep the T-levels intact.
2. BLACK BEANS (KAALE RAJMA)
Black beans are one of the best sources of protein and boost up your T-levels. Though it would be an underrated food pick by many of you , it is very rich in zinc , magnesium and VITAMIN D .
I personally add it in my salad and it can also be made like a dish according to the Indian cuisine.
If you ask about the serving, you can take 1/2 cooked cup in a day.
3. TUNA FISH
Tuna fish is a good source of VITAMIN D and OMEGA 3 . It consists of healthy fats which also helps in keeping your skin glow.
You need not have it on a daily basis but you can take it twice a week and it will help you naturally maintaining your testosterone levels in check.
In the end i would suggest that though there are many other foods that help in boosting your testosterone levels but try to add these foods in your diet and you will definitely see results in your body. For vegans, i would recommend spinach and mushrooms as they both are highly rich in zinc and magnesium. All the best guys !! Keep your body fit and make you and your partner happy.
- ALWAYS AIM FOR THE WORLD CLASS FITNESS !!!


Mitsubishi Heavy adopts Italian design
JAPAN: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has used an Italian designer for two new series of wall-mounted air conditioners set to launch in Europe next month.
The new ZS and ZSX Series units, which are likely to be a topic at MHI’s European distributor conference this week, are due to commence production and marketing in October.
The design was created by Milan-based industrial design studio Tensa srl, and is said to respond to a broad spectrum of European tastes thanks to its rounded contours and stylish design features.
Nine regular models will be available in sizes from 2kW to 6.1kW (cooling) and 2.7kW to 6.8kW (heating). Two limited-edition colours are also said to be in preparation.
Strangely, despite being in a sector moving towards the lower GWP R32, the available information gives no indication of the refrigerant being employed in these new ranges, but the Cooling Post believes it to be R410A. (Update 21/9/16: MHI has confirmed that the models are designed for R410A).
While both series are said to offer high efficiency, the top-of-the-range ZSX boasts Europe’s highest A+++ energy rating in both cooling and heating modes. This is said to be due to its use of twin rotary compressors, combined with enhanced vector control.
The use of computational fluid dynamics in the fan and heat exchanger design is common to both series and has resulted in a claimed operating noise level of only 19dB(A) in “silent” mode.
All models are equipped with motion sensors and weekly timer. Also, operation via smartphones is also said to be possible.

Recently heartbroken, Simon travels to Paris to clear his head. After several days of wandering aimlessly, Simon finds himself drawn into a sex parlor and has a sexual encounter with an exotic prostitute, Victoria. The chemistry builds between the two until they find themselves in a serious relationship, one that leads to blackmail, betrayal and the ultimate revelation of Simon's true nature.Written by
A recent college graduate (Brady Corbet) flees to Paris after a break-up, where his involvement with a prostitute (Mati Diop) begins to reveal a potentially dark recent past.
Since watching this film last night, it has been gnawing at me, and it keeps growing in my mind as something of a masterpiece. Though, to see it in that way, one must first realize this is not a film concerned with a plot, but rather with the study of one particular character. (Just do not go in thinking you can ever understand him.)
Corbet was evil and gritty in "Funny Games" and may have stepped that up a notch here. The character is more subtle, more of an enigma, but this in many ways makes him creepier: is he a sociopath, a killer? We know he is a liar, and we are left doubting almost any claim he makes about his past. (Corbet's career is already legendary, also having worked with Gregg Araki and Lars von Trier, among others.)
While not directly inspired by Joran van der Sloot (the Aruba man best known to Americans as the likely killer of Natalee Holloway), the creators used him as a "point of reference", and it shows. For a visual look they emulated 1970s cinema, and particularly John Cassavetes' "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" (1976). I think they nailed it.
To fully "get" this movie I would need to watch it again. As I said, it grows. I like it more today than yesterday and feel like a re-exploration of the themes and characters would only add to that. Who is Simon? We may never know.

Pre-entry into service
Numerous airlines will receive their brand-new Airbus A320neo jetliners in the months to come. This aircraft is equipped with more aerodynamic, lighter and quieter nacelles. Sixty percent of the A320neo LEAP-1A nacelle is made with composite materials.
Safran Nacelles provides service solutions upon entry-into-service of an aircraft in a fleet so that airlines receive their aircraft with peace of mind, knowing it is ready to go.
Safran Nacelles offers:
- OEM expertise
- Guaranteed availability rates for operational continuity
- Cost-of-ownership improvement
- Up-front-investment cash flow optimization
Moreover, Safran Nacelles' technical expertise means that it can train its customers' personnel to the best standards, so that they are familiar with the product, its specificities and its technical documentation, according to individual needs. The Safran Nacelles offer is structured around three levels : General Familiarization, Academic and Advanced levels.
Safran Nacelles customers have continuous access to dedicated or shared product stocks in strategic locations – main operating bases or operating platforms – along with a solution should their aircraft be grounded (AOG situation). The new parts or parts in good operating condition provided by Safran Nacelles are guaranteed to be available within four hours.

Shawn Lewis worries that a year that could bring increases in health care expenses, sales tax costs and property tax rates in California for small business owners could come to spell doom.
“All three of those issues are pretty much at the top of any list of concerns for small business owners,” Lewis, policy director of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), a national advocacy group that bills itself as the “voice of small business,” told the Northern California Record. “Any one of them creates a significant sense of uncertainty in business and financial planning all by themselves.”
In California, 2019 is expected to bring the debate over single-payer health care, a sales tax on services and a split roll property tax to center stage, all of the with all of the issues thought to be to the detriment of the “small ma and pa, independent business” owners NFIB seeks to cater to.
NFIB estimates that such a change in health care coverage alone could come with an annual pricetag of as much as $400 billion, while small business owners and consumers could also be on the hook for at least another $100 billion stemming from a sales tax on services.
A split roll property tax could also force small business owners to dig deeper into their pockets by removing Proposition 13 property tax protections from commercial properties in the name of aligning current assessments with market value, almost certainly increasing expenditures of those who own or rent commercial property as many small business owners regularly do.
“This all boils down to an issue of survival for members, where they often will either go out of business or can’t continue to have any chance of being solvent,” Lewis added. “This isn’t a talking point, but the issues real people are being forced to calculate and consider. I saw a recent national survey that pegged averaged profits at about $65,000 per year for small business owners. How much more new taxes can you place on that?”
In its 75-years of existence, Lewis said annual surveys have shown rising health care costs to always be the most pressing issue for most members with the prospect of single-payer only raising the stakes all the more.
“Members are very concerned with a plan like single-payer and its one-size fits all approach, especially when funding for it stands to come through significant tax increases,” Lewis added. “Quite frankly, single-payer is not a solution from the perspective of all our members.”
As for an added sales tax, Lewis said anytime there’s talk of such big ideas you have to concern yourself with how they stand to be paid for.
“These kinds of sales tax would disproportionately increase costs on small business owners because they don’t have the revenue to have in-house services they way many large companies do,” he said. “It’s a tax almost solely on them because small business owners are much more reliant on contracting services than many of the larger companies.”
With the split-roll tax, Lewis again reasoned that small business owners would be among those most impacted because they are the ones most apt to be renting or leasing commercial properties.
“All three issues raise an element of uncertainty for our constituency,” Lewis added. “Again, we simply don’t have the luxury of an endless revenue stream.”
All the ambivalence figures to zap at least some of the exuberance recently exuded by small business owners in a 2018 NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, which found many owners have been uplifted by a bubbling economy, recent tax and regulatory relief and even a renewed ability to be able to reinvest in their businesses.

The Syrian Coalition’s Department of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday met with a delegation from the Norwegian Embassy in Ankara to discuss the latest field developments in southern Syria and the war crimes the Assad regime and its allies are committing against civilians.
Head of the Department, Abdel Ahad Steifo said that what is happening in Dara’a cannot be tolerated, calling for the activation of the international neutral mechanism to hold war criminals in Syria to account.
Steifo stressed the need for immediate international action in order to save the lives of civilians in Dara’a and to stop the brutal military campaign claiming the lives of hundreds of civilians and wounding thousands more.
Steifo also stressed the need to deliver humanitarian aid to the people who have been displaced as a result of the Assad regime’s assault and who exceeded 270,000 people according to United Nations estimates.
The Assad regime has pursued a clear strategy of military escalation with the beginning of every important political process, Steifo said. “The Assad regime is one again seeking to block international efforts to find a real political solution.”
Steifo went on to say that Assad allies always talk about the need for political solution and the implementation of international resolutions while pursuing a bloody military solution affecting millions of innocent people.
Steifo pointed out that the Coalition renewed its warning of the occurrence of humanitarian disasters should the international community continues to ignore the crimes taking against civilians. He noted that civilians are still waiting for the United Nations to intervene in order to save their lives. (Source: Syrian Coalition’s Media Department)


Reality TV star Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie Chrisley are in the thick of legal troubles as the duo was indicted over bank fraud and tax evasion. In addition, Julie was found guilty of a separate wire fraud charge.
The couple– co-stars in the reality TV show “Chrisley Knows Best”– were accused of defrauding $ 30 million from different financial institutions over five years.
Since their conviction, the Chrisleys have ramped up their legal team as they prepare to fight against the legal verdict.
Despite that, the backlash has taken a turn for the worse. In their recent podcast, Todd opened up about the legal, financial and emotional aftermath his family had been going through following the conviction.
Read on for more information.
‘We Are Standing United And Firm’
During Wednesday’s episode of the “Chrisley Confessions” podcast, Todd opened up about the legal, financial, and emotional aftermath of the June 7 legal ruling.
“As a family, we are still united and firm in our positions and faith. We don’t waiver in our faith,” Todd began. “Now listen. Are we disappointed? Are we hurt? Yes, but we know that God has a purpose for everything.”
While they have received support from friends and fans alike, they’ve also received negative comments from critics.
“What’s important and what has changed me through this ordeal is that I no longer feel the need to respond to the naysayers, to the people that don’t know, to the people who have no idea what the truth is.”
He also added that he wanted to thank those who stood with his family regardless of all they were facing.
“It’s taken me a long time to get to that [point] because when we started in this business, I went and fired back at any person that lied to us or said something hurtful, or whatever,” he continued.
“And now, I don’t feel the need to do that. And I think that’s part of what God has given me is that God has given me that inner peace, and he’s given me the full understanding of, ‘no one needs to believe our truth as long as we know our truth.’ As long as God knows and we know, that should be all that matters,” he concluded.
Their Son Struggles With Social Media Comments
View this post on Instagram
In another episode of the “Chrisley Confessions” podcast, the pair opened up about how their son, 16-year-old Grayson, has been handling the legal ordeal.
Todd shared that Grayson, whom he calls the “sweetest child with the tender heart,” has been mostly affected by comments made in the media.
“When you have someone that has a heart like Grayson in a world like where we live right now, you have to be very careful with someone that is that sensitive,” he said, according to People. “Because the world doesn’t care if his feelings are hurt.”
Todd said he advised his son to spend as much time listening to God as he would to a message from someone with “two followers and a cat as their emoji.”
“Someone else’s opinion of you should not matter. You need to know who you are in the depths of your soul. Who you are as a person, who you are as a spouse, as a friend, as a parent, as a child,” Julie added.
Todd And Julie Chrisley Will Be Pursuing An Appeal
The longtime attorney of the Chrisleys, Steve Friedberg, shared with People that they were devastated and disappointed and will appeal the verdict.
“Julie and Todd are so grateful for the love and support shown by their family, friends, and fans,” Friedberg began.
“They both remain strong in their faith and will continue the ‘fight’ until they are vindicated. They have their priorities in order and are currently concentrating on the welfare of their children and Todd’s mother, Elizabeth Faye Chrisley.”
The Fate Of ‘Chrisley Knows Best?’
View this post on Instagram
As of this publication, “Chrisley Knows Best” hasn’t been canceled. Per Deadline, the show’s tenth season is still set to return on June 23.
Sources shared with THR that the latest installment was filmed before the pair’s trial in May.
The spin-off, “Growing Up Chrisley,” has a fourth season, and E! recently announced that Todd will be hosting and producing a new dating series titled “Love Limo.”

Big Race Day Features Five $75,000 Stakes Races
By Gary West, national Turf writer
Houston, Texas --- February 16, 2022 -- It’s easy to forget that many of horse racing’s greatest competitors were from Texas. Too easy, in fact. But some of the horses racing in this Saturday’s Texas Preview Day at Sam Houston, and some of the Thoroughbreds born this year, it’s hoped, could refresh some magical racing memories over the next several years in the Lone Star State. They could reboot the tradition, burnish the legacy. The comeback of the Texas-bred starts here.
The purses that horses race for in Texas have more than doubled since 2019. And they’re still rising, along with handle and attendance. On Jan. 31, the day of the Houston Racing Festival, Sam Houston set a record when $5,977,317 was bet on the 11-race program, an increase of more than 10 percent from the record set a year ago. Yes, over the last two years just about everything associated with horse racing has improved and increased in the state — everything except the breeding of racehorses.
The breeding industry is always a few years behind racing, for obvious reasons.
After two very difficult decades that saw an exodus of horsemen and breeders, the Texas breeding industry was moribund. The number of Thoroughbred mares being bred in the state dropped more than 80 percent. In 2019, only 121 Texas-breds raced, according to The Jockey Club. But that’s the bottom. With the dramatic purse increases in recent years, the comeback of the Texas-bred is now.
And it’s useful to recall that, again, some of the sport’s greatest competitors have come from Texas. We’re not talking here about Steve Asmussen, Bill Shoemaker, Todd Pletcher, and Jerry Bailey, or not just them; no, we’re talking about the horses.
The great Pan Zareta, for example, was bred by James Newman in Sweetwater. She went on to win 76 of 151 races, forcing her way into the sport’s Hall of Fame. Bara Lass was bred by Sam Stevens of Lamesa. Trained by D. Wayne Lukas, she began her career in 1981 at Sunland Park near El Paso and went on to win the Santa Monica and Las Flores Handicaps at Santa Anita, as well as the Rancho Bernardo Stakes at Del Mar. Jim’s Orbit, who was bred by Jim Cottrell of Dallas and trained by another Texan, Clearance Picou, won the 1988 Derby Trial, and after chasing Winning Colors home a week later, he won the Ohio Derby. The great Two Altazano, who was bred by Harold Goodman of Houston, won the inaugural Sam Houston Oaks in 1994, but that was just the beginning. She also won the Monmouth Oaks, the Fair Grounds Oaks, and one of the American classics, the Coaching Club American Oaks.
Two Texas-breds have won the Kentucky Derby, Assault in 1946 and Middleground in 1950. Assault, in fact, swept the Triple Crown. Taking over for jockey Warren Mehrtens in the Pimlico Special, the great Eddie Arcaro proclaimed Assault to be one of the greatest horses he ever rode, second perhaps only to Citation. Assault and Middleground were both bred by the famed King Ranch.
One of the fastest horses of the 1980s was Groovy, who was bred and raised by Mickey and Marshall Robinson on their farm outside Fort Worth. Racing for the Preston brothers of Houston — Jack, Art and J.R. — Groovy won the Vosburgh, the Tom Fool, and the True North Stakes with dominating speed on his way to being named the champion sprinter of 1987. Yes, some outstanding and great horses have come from Texas, and some will again.
Sunlit Song, the champion older Texas-bred of 2021 and a winner of $443,114 in his career, is one of the headliners for Saturday’s Texas Preview Day, which presents five stakes, each offering a purse of $75,000. Sunlit Song is the horse to beat in The Houston Turf Stakes. He finished second in this race last year to Moojab Jr., who returns for a rematch. But Sunlit Song defeated his rival in the $100,000 Richard King Stakes at Sam Houston and in the Texas Hall of Fame Stakes at Lone Star. Also among those entered is Singapore Flash, who ran second in last year’s Richard King but recently beat Sunlit Song in his seasonal debut by a half-length.
Sunlit Song winning the Richard King Turf Stakes at Sam Houston last year.
Texas-bred champions are determined by an objective system that awards points to horses for achievements in stakes races. Second to Sunlit Song last year by only two points was Mr. Money Bags, a former Texas champion who has won eight stakes in his career, half of them in open company, and earned $588,576. As a 3-year-old, he won the Jim’s Orbit Stakes at Sam Houston by more than 11 lengths and the Groovy Stakes by seven lengths. Mr. Money Bags has lost only once at Sam Houston, but that was in his most recent outing, when he was the runner-up to Greeley And Ben in the $75,000 Stonerside Sprint. Mr. Money Bags is clearly the one to beat in the H-Town Stakes, where Direct Dial, who was third in points last year with 17.5, will try to upset. Also a former Texas champion, Direct Dial has earned $543,771 in his career.
Mr. Money Bags
She’s Our Fastest, the champion Texas-bred mare of 2021, will try to return to the Sam Houston winner’s circle in the Miss Bluebonnet Turf Stakes. Although she’s a seven-time stakes winner of more than $482,000, She’s Our Fastest never has won on the grass, and Saturday she’ll be chasing the speedy and talented Boerne, at least during the early running. A winner of the Azalea Stakes in the mud at Gulfstream Park in 2020, Boerne last year won the Lane’s End Danny Shifflett Scholarship Stakes on the turf at Lone Star Park.
And in the Two Altazano Stakes, Eagle Express, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2021, will attempt to rebound from a loss last month. A daughter of Eagle who’s trained by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, Eagle Express won the Pan Zareta Stakes last year at Lone Star. But in her most recent outing, in the Texas Stallion Stakes at Sam Houston, she finished five lengths behind Texas Thunder, who returns for the rematch.
These races are billed as a preview, specifically for the Texas Champions Day on March 26, when seven stakes will offer $700,000 in purses. But in a larger sense, Saturday’s races are a preview for what’s coming next year and the years beyond. The comeback of the Texas-bred starts here.
First race post time for Saturday’s Texas Preview Day is 6:55 pm. For ticket information and reservations visit www.SHRP.com

President George W. Bush expressed personal regret to Chinese President Hu Jintao for a protest during an elaborate welcoming ceremony on the White House lawn Thursday.
The protester interrupted the ceremony by shouting to Bush to stop the Chinese president from "persecuting the Falun Gong."
Bush later spoke of the matter when he met with Hu in the Oval Office. "He just said this was unfortunate, and I'm sorry it happened," said Dennis Wilder, acting senior director for Asian affairs on the National Security Council staff.
Wilder said Hu was gracious in accepting Bush's apology. The two leaders moved on in their talks and it was not mentioned again in several hours of meetings. Hu and Bush sat next to each other at an elaborate luncheon _ a departure from traditional protocol, which would have had them at different tables, reports AP.
On a long-awaited visit to the White House, Hu received the 21-gun salute and full military honors that the Chinese had coveted as a sign of respect.
But in an embarrassing episode that marred the South Lawn ceremony, a Chinese woman in the press section heckled Hu just as he began speaking.
"President Hu, your days are numbered. U.S. President George W. Bush, make him stop persecuting Falun Gong," she yelled, referring to the spiritual meditation movement that is banned in China.
She was led away by a Secret Service uniformed guard for questioning, and was later identified as Wang Wenyi, 47, a reporter for The Epoch Times, a New York-based newspaper that supports the Falun Gong.
The Secret Service planned to charge her with disorderly conduct and was weighing more serious federal charges that she intimidated or disrupted a foreign official.
"The hardliners on Hu's team are going to ask, why did it take so long for us to pick her up. It is not a good thing," said a U.S. official involved in Hu's visit.
In a concession to U.S. protocol, Hu answered reporters' questions in the Oval Office. He seemed to be treading a thin line between addressing U.S. concerns about a trade surplus that reached $202 billion last year, without been seen to buckle to U.S. pressure.
Stating that China wanted to boost its domestic demand and did not seek an excessive trade surplus, Hu said Washington could help reduce the imbalance by allowing more high-tech exports to China.
Washington would like to see China revalue its currency, the yuan, which it regards as seriously undervalued against the dollar. That would allow U.S. exporters to compete more effectively in China and reduce the trade deficit, informs Reuters.
While Bush and Hu pledged their cooperation on mutual strategic interests, including Iran and North Korea, their meeting produced no breakthroughs in resolving differences, including those on currency, trade and expanding freedom in China.
Currency has been a persistent source of tension between the world's largest industrial power and the biggest developing country.
China ended its decade-old peg to the dollar last July and said it would allow the yuan, a denomination of the renminbi, to fluctuate as much as 0.3 percent each day against the U.S. currency. Since then, the yuan has gained 1.2 percent, reports Bloomberg.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a possibility of a real revolution that may happen in world economy in the coming years to put an end to the monopoly of large Western banks
