If you’re looking for fun back to school party ideas, grab a pen and paper and take some notes! We teamed up with our baking besties at Flour Shop to throw the sweetest back-to-school bash. Featuring easy DIY decorations and A+ party treats, this celebration is the perfect start to the school year.
We’re sharing all the expert details on this easy back-to-school party idea. From setting the best school theme party table to finding the tastiest after-school snacks, you’ll learn it all. So, read on, and get ready to make the start of the school year extra special!
When it comes to back-to-school party decorations, cute and crafty is the way to go. Start by setting the scene with a few simple school theme decorations like honeycomb pencils or school bus banners. Balloon garlands are also a fun idea, especially if you’re throwing a back-to-school party for the whole class.
Consider creating simple and affordable complimentary decorations using basic school supplies from the dollar store. Our friends at Gratitude Collab made this noteworthy pencil vase to display their equally exquisite bouquet.
To recreate it, grab a few boxes of No. 2 pencils and a cylinder cement vase. Arrange each pencil vertically with the eraser side facing down, and use hot glue to secure them in place. Glue them side-by-side around the entire vase, en voila! Easy as 1-2-3!
More than just a sharp decoration, DIY pencil vases make wonderful school gifts for teachers. Fill them with flowers or throw in some school supplies and gift cards to make a thoughtful and practical present.
To create a visually appealing table setting, we recommend combining patterned decorations with back-to-school-themed supplies. We selected these school days plates, scrambled letter napkins, and pencil cups paired with a few neon accents. However, there are plenty of other grade-A party supplies to mix and match with.
If you're looking for a cute breakfast idea to start off the back-to-school season, you don't need to plan a huge party. This idea is definitely worth giving a shot! For an extra special touch, top each place off with a treat for your kiddo to put in their lunch box. Something as simple as a rice krispie treat is a foolproof way to make the first day fabulous!
Since cute supplies + delicious desserts = the perfect party, we knew we needed to add Flour Shop to the equation. Their talented team made these darling pencil-shaped cookie pops for our BTS bash. Detailed desserts make the best party favors, so Flour Shop is our favorite place to go for all of our fêtes.
While the pencil pops were delightful, the real apple of our eye was this too-cool-for-school apple explosion cake. Flour Shop went above and beyond and even added a fun sprinkle bomb inside of the cake.
An apple-shaped cake of this caliber makes the coolest tabletop decoration/dessert in school. So, we suggest tying your entire celebration together with a similar back-to-school-themed food!
We hope you’re as excited as we are to celebrate this school year! For more super-smart party ideas, check out the rest of our back-to-school supplies collection. From our fête to yours, bonne chance!

text: Flaxseed is a dietary source of possible chemopreventive compounds such as lignans and α-linolenic acid (ALA). To study the effects of a flaxseed mixture on adenoma formation in multiple intestinal neoplasia mice, the mice were fed a diet containing 2·7 % flaxseed, 4·5 % fibre and 3·7 % ALA. To elucidate the effect of oils of the mixture we also composed a diet without flaxseed but with the same oil composition. The median number of adenomas in the small intestine was fifty-four for the control group, and thirty-seven (P=0·023) and forty-two (P=0·095) for flaxseed and oil groups, respectively. Compared with controls (1·2 mm), the adenoma size was smaller in the flaxseed (0·9 mm; P=0·002) and oil (1·0 mm; P=0·012) groups. Both diets changed the proportions of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids in the colonic mucosa. Membrane β-catenin and protein kinase C (PKC)-ζ levels were reduced in the adenoma v. mucosa (P<0·05), and an inverse association was found between the membrane PKC-ζ in the mucosa and the adenoma number (r −0·460, P=0·008, n 32). Only the flaxseed diet increased lignan levels in the caecum (P=0·002) and in plasma (P=0·002) but they were not associated with tumour formation. The results suggest that the preventive effect of flaxseed on colon carcinogenesis may be due to the oil part of flaxseed, and the loss of β-catenin and PKC-ζ from the membranes of the mucosal tissue may play a permissive role in intestinal tumour development.

Class of 2021: Luci Harris hopes to help immigrants navigate the U.S. immigration system
A summer internship helped solidify her decision to pursue a law degree after graduation “so that I can help individuals feel recognized and heard.”
Share this story
Luci Harris is working toward her goal of becoming an immigration lawyer so she can help immigrants access the U.S. legal system.
“The immigration system is incredibly complicated and can be very traumatic for the individuals who go through it. I hope to be able to use my Spanish skills and cultural competencies to make that process an easier one for immigrants in Virginia as an attorney,” said Harris, who is graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in December with a dual bachelor’s degree in international studies with a concentration in Latin America and foreign language with a concentration in Spanish.
Harris is graduating from the School of World Studies in the College of Humanities and Sciences only two and half years after enrolling at the university thanks to 50 credit hours she accumulated via AP credit in high school plus 15 credits total over two summers at VCU and 18 credit hours every semester.
She became proficient in Spanish after living in Mexico for two years as a child. Harris also attended a Spanish immersion program in school in Arlington, Virginia, where she has lived for most of her life.
“During elementary school, the entire school was Spanish immersion. In middle and high school, the Spanish immersion program was housed within schools that were mainly standard high school,” she said. “Half of my classes were in Spanish. I never had a science class taught in English until the 10th grade. I was very fortunate to go through that program and have that opportunity.”
Harris had varied interests in high school that included a strong involvement in theater.
“I originally came to VCU as a stage management and international studies major, focusing on the intersection of politics and theater in my work and research,” she said. “However, once I was actually here, I felt more pulled by my international studies major, and wanted to focus more on that, and the related fields of Spanish and political science.”
Along with her classes, Harris tutors VCU student-athletes in Spanish and government. Anita Nadal, an assistant professor of Spanish in the School of World Studies, has been one of Harris’ role models at VCU.
“Her guidance in service learning allowed me to work directly with Latino communities in Richmond,” Harris said. “I took a service learning class that involved volunteer work in the community, where I was able to volunteer at cultural events that highlighted Puerto Rican culture in Richmond. She also encouraged me to pursue opportunities in my own community at home.”
Harris also learned more about the experiences of recently arrived immigrants in Richmond. And this summer, as a Baldacci Student Experiential Learning Fund grant recipient, she spent three months working as a legal intern with Ayuda, a nonprofit in Northern Virginia that provides legal, social and language services to help low-income immigrants.
The Baldacci grants were created from a gift made to VCU in 2017 by best-selling author and VCU graduate David Baldacci and his wife, Michelle. Grants are awarded to academically promising, and hardworking rising juniors and seniors of diverse areas of study and backgrounds.
“I worked directly with clients, drafting forms and affidavits for visas, work permits, asylum and special immigrant juveniles,” Harris said of her internship. “It was a crucial experience that helped to solidify my decision to pursue law school.”
She hopes her background and VCU education will help her continue to do work in her community after she earns a law degree.
“I look forward to working as an attorney so that I can help individuals feel recognized and heard within the legal system,” she said.

Outside direct hit to the wrist. Why block when you can
Sometimes a thrust comes too suddenly to move the body or execute .1 conventional block or dofle< tion against the bulk of the op ThU * should take about 4 / I 0 of a secoisi ponent's weapon. In this case, deflect the tip of the opponent's weapon with a quick flick. then counter.
You may use your free hand to hold his arm in place while you counterstrike.
The Alive Hand
If a good esorlmador were asked lo point out the ^inglemost important aspect that makes his fighting work, chances are he would refer to the use of the "alive hand. If he were wielding a single weapon, the alive hand would be the one that didn't have a weapon If he were wielding a long and a short weapon, the alive hand would be the one with the shorter weapon If he were empty-handed or wielding two equal-sized weapons, the alive hand would generally be the one that carne into play second
Most ofren. the alive hand is the one that holds the opponent's weapon hand or arm in ptace after the defensive motion has stopped or diverted the blow and K. therefore, a close quarter tool. It is the transition between the fighter'-; defensive motion and his counter strike Without the alive hand holding the opponent's r>and in place, his weapon might easily return again before the fighter has time to make his counter strike
Used properly, your alive hand will put a pause in the opponent's motion while you movr Into the .ittack During the Spaiv.'.h reign in the Philippines, and m combat situations where the ancient Filipinos fought against the Spanish in »wordplay, the "alive hand" played an important part in confusing the Spanish swordplay. This was especially liue in the -«outhern Philippine-* where they W.'.•>■ unconquered for 366 y- us.
When the a:ve hinci not being used <i is generally kept near the center of your chest Many escrlmadors like to turn the edge of the hand toward the chest so when they push or pat the opponent's weapon hand or arm with the palm, the alive hand moves forward with a turn This turn adds torque to the motion, giving it more authority.
The Alive hand is used for infighting only and not for long range fighting.
When .« single weapon being used, a basic rule of thumb is that the alive hand ¡should be touching or patting the opponent's weapon hand or arm anytime the fighter's weapon is withdrawing from it for a strike In order to reach the opponent's arm. the alive hand must dart beneath or above the fighter's own weaponed arm Whether the ahvc hand crosses above or beneath depends on the direction tho fighter s weapon traveling awl the target of hks follow up strike
If. for instance, the defense is angling slightly downward, then the quickest counterstrike would be one of the lower targets To avoid obstructing the weapon's downward motion, the alive hand cross*"» above the descending arm to hold the opponent's arm in place.

I'm not the greatest seamstress ever known to the blog world. In fact, I'm really no good at sewing. This is because my Mom is really, really good at sewing. Whenever something needs to be done, she 'helps' me out. What that usually means is that I brainstorm the idea, choose the fabric, start sewing, get frustrated within twenty minutes and let her finish it for me. She's a perfectionist when it comes to sewing, which is a good thing, I guess.
Although my curtains are not perfect, I did manage to do a pretty good job. Nice straight seams, everything pressed. I surprised myself a little bit.
I can't wait to show you my sewing success.

The Department for Education (DfE) has not ruled out another college intervention to take on a school from troubled academy chain E-Act (formerly EduTrust Academies Charitable Trust).
South Gloucestershire and Stroud College (SGS) has announced it was the new sponsor of Forest Academy, formerly Heywood Community School, Forest of Dean, from March.
The school, given a grade three “requires improvement” rating by Ofsted following inspection in May 2013, is currently sponsored by E-Act, which has been hit with two financial notices to improve by the Education Funding Agency.
The chain controlled more than 30 schools before it agreed with the DfE to scale down by 10 last year after Ofsted inspectors raised concerns about the performance of a number of the chain’s academies.
The school, which converted to academy status in 2012, was the ninth to be given up by E-Act in response and the fourth taken on by a general FE college — Lincoln College Academy Trust took on Trent Valley Academy in May and renamed it The Gainsborough Academy, and three months later Leeds East Academy and Leeds West Academy were both transferred to the White Rose Academies Trust, which was set up by Leeds City College.
A DfE spokesperson told FE Week that it “hasn’t ruled out” a further intervention from a college. She said it was a possibility “where there is a strong local college”.
Andy Gannon, 157 Group director of policy, public relations and research, welcomed the move by SGS.
He said: “This announcement reinforces the argument we have long made that FE Colleges are often a trusted, well respected and reliable nucleus within their local communities.
“It is a vote of confidence in the pedagogic and business leadership skills of college principals and leadership teams.
“If this trend continues, it can only be good for enhancing collaboration between the school and college sector, for improving student success and for raising awareness of a broader range of educational pathways among young people.”
The move comes after Bedford College was asked by former Education Secretary Michael Gove last year to step in and take over the inadequate-rated Central Bedfordshire UTC, and after The Manchester College took on London’s £17m prison education contract following the withdrawal of welfare-to-work firm A4e.
A spokesperson for the Association of Colleges said: “A strong local education system is vital and colleges play an active role in that, often working in partnership with other organisations to benefit their local community.”
An E-Act spokesperson said: “E-Act has no plans to transfer any additional academies to alternative sponsors. Our focus continues to be on supporting the academies remaining in the trust.”
Kevin Hamblin, SGS principal, said: “We will be able to provide considerable support to the [Forest Academy] school and we will be working with staff, parents and pupils to relaunch the school from September 2015.”
We are developing a brand new enhanced curriculum with an extensive vocational offer and with immediate effect we will provide additional classroom support for all students and a comprehensive enrichment programme.”

EDWARDSVILLE — Three Southern Illinois University Edwardsville seniors and one staff member form a small four-person cast in a dramatic performance of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning “Proof,” by David Auburn.
Directed by Peter Cocuzza, professor of performance in SIUE’s Theater and Dance Department, the play revolves around Catherine (played by Frankie Ferrari), whose father, Robert (Mark Bacus), has recently died. In life, he was a professor at the University of Chicago, and a mathematical genius with a mental illness that kept him semi-secluded and in need of his daughter’s care.
Catherine struggles with her own mathematical skills and her fear of inheriting her father’s mental illness. One of Robert’s former students, Hal (Gerry Butler) comes to visit, and discovers a paradigm-shifting “proof” about prime numbers in Robert’s office. Can Catherine prove the proof’s authorship? Catherine’s estranged sister, Claire (Olivia Foort) also comes home after Robert’s death, adding to the chaos and Catherine’s questions about how to go on with her life.
Cocuzza said the script is beautifully written and has some very challenging parts — perfect for the three graduating students. Rather than cast a student for the father role, Cocuzza cast Bacus, who has worked at the university for more than 30 years, and is an actor, director and writer himself.
“The challenges for the performers are many,” Cocuzza said. “The play deals with caring for a loved one, genius versus madness, gender issues of women working (advancing) in the male dominated profession of mathematics (and the sciences) and the issue of self-identity. You can imagine the complexity of what these characters must be feeling and the subtlety and depth of the lines.”
As a director, he said that being blessed with four intelligent thinkers and actors, who are willing to take adjustments and push their own limits, has been a joy.
“What makes any play popular and memorable is the fact that we can identify with the characters and what they are going through, and ‘Proof’ is no different,” Cocuzza said. “There is something recognizable in it for every audience member.”
The stage manager for the production is Rebecca Haible; technical director is Jonah Sheckler; Roger Speidel is the scene designer; Nina Reed – costume designer; Kate Slovinski – props designer; James Wulfsong – lighting and projections designer; and Connor Jones – sound designer.
“Proof” also won a 2001 Tony Award for Best Play.
Due to adult language, the play is recommended for adults and mature students.
SIUE’s Department of Theater and Dance presents four plays and one dance concert during its October through April season. All productions are open to the community at large. “Proof” will run at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 17, through Saturday, Feb. 20, and at 2 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 21, at SIUE’s Dunham Hall Theater. Tickets cost $12 for adults (18 and older), and $10 for seniors (65 and older), non-SIUE students, and all SIUE retirees, alumni, faculty and staff. SIUE students are admitted free with a valid school I.D. For tickets or more information call the Department of Theater and Dance box office at 618-650-2774 or 888-328-5168, ext. 2774, or visit www.siue.edu/artsandsciences/theater.

Tiger Woods Announces End of Historic 27-Year Nike Ambassadorship
Tiger Woods has announced the end of his partnership with Nike after nearly 30 years as the brand’s ambassador. The 82-time PGA Tour champ shared a statement Monday morning on his social media channels confirming his exit.
“Over 27 years ago, I was fortunate to start a partnership with one of the most iconic brands in the world. The days since have been filled with so many amazing moments and memories, if I started naming them, I could go on forever,” Woods reflected. “Phil Knight’s passion and vision brought this Nike and Nike Golf partnership together and I want to personally thank him, along with the Nike employees and incredible athletes I have had the pleasure of working with along the way.”
The athlete continued: “People will ask if there is another chapter. Yes, there will certainly be another chapter. See you in LA!”
— Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) January 8, 2024
Nike shared its own statement, posting a triumphant photo of Woods on the field with the text, “It was a hell of a round, Tiger.” In the caption, Nike paid tribute to Woods’ trailblazing career and his extensive work with the company. “Tiger, you challenged your competition, stereotypes, conventions, the old school way of thinking. You challenged the entire institution of golf. You challenged us. And most of all, yourself. And for that challenge we’re grateful,” it read.
Woods signed as an ambassador to Nike in 1996, when he was just 20 years old. According to The Oregonian, Woods’ most recent deal was signed for another 10 years in 2013 to the tune of $200 million. Though Woods saw great success with his golf apparel and footwear line, his line of clubs and balls never took flight, ceasing production in 2016. Shortly thereafter, Woods signed a deal with TaylorMade to produce clubs, and one with Bridgestone to make balls.
Since his harrowing February 2021 car crash, Woods has been wearing FootJoy shoes. Nike released a statement in 2022 (via Sports Illustrated) reiterating their support. “As he continues his return, we will work with him to meet his new needs,” the company said at the time.
Last month, at his last PNC Championship repping Nike, Woods was curt when asked about his status as ambassador. “I’m still wearing their product,” he responded.
Woods isn’t the only golf player to recently exit their ambassadorship with Nike. Jason Day recently left Nike for Malbon Golf, sparking some conjecture that Nike might be wrapping up its golf division altogether.

MOSCOW, July 18 (RIA Novosti)
The Russian Navy will soon receive a new ship-based gun/missile air defense system, KBP Instrument Design Bureau, the developer of the system, said on Monday.
The system, dubbed Pantsyr-M, has been developed on the basis of the land-based Pantsyr-S1 (SA-22 Greyhound).
"Pantsyr-M will replace the Kortik air defense systems and will be installed on all new classes of Russian combat ships, from corvettes to cruisers," said Alexander Zhukov, a senior KBP official.
Zhukov cited specifications for an export version of Pantsyr-M as the data on the system for the Russian Navy is still classified.
The export Pantsyr-ME version has a response time of 3-5 seconds and can track and destroy simultaneously up to four targets.
Its missiles have a range of 20 kilometers and can hit targets at altitudes from 2 meters to 15 kilometers, while its guns have a range of four kilometers and can hit targets at altitudes up to 3 kilometers.

Ukraine has not preserved its 1991 borders. The signing of the Geneva memorandum on April 17 reaffirmed the willingness of Russia, the United States and EU countries to reach a compromise. While the sides continue to trade tough talk and symbolic sanctions, the Kremlin and the White House are also holding a parallel dialogue on the coordinated geopolitical revision of Eastern Europe.

No one in her immediate family had ever had cancer. So when she started getting stomach aches in mid-2010 she took an over-the-counter remedy and carried on as usual.
Although the pain persisted she still didn’t suspect anything serious, and when she was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome at the end of that year, she didn’t think to ask for a colonoscopy to check that it wasn’t cancer.
“I trusted my doctor’s opinion and attributed the symptoms to rich meals, never suspecting anything too serious,” says Joan, a former social worker who often counselled cancer patients herself.
When her symptoms didn’t improve with medication or diet, she went back for a second opinion. Eventually in August 2011, Joan was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer. After radical surgery and months of chemotherapy, Joan was declared cancer-free.
“Cancer has helped me to expect less from life, but also to make the most of it,” says Joan, who now advocates regular cancer screening, especially when you experience inexplicable symptoms. “Keep on going, but don’t deny your gut feeling.”
It’s not all about your genes
Joan is one of about a million South Africans alive today that have beaten cancer, according to Dr Carl Albrecht, who is the Cancer Association of South Africa’s (CANSA) head of research. She is also part of a growing group of people who developed this dreaded disease for no apparent reason.[quote float=”right”]Cancer-causing agents could be in your beer, whiskey, wine or boerewor
Cancer occurs when cells in the body become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably due to damage to a person’s DNA or genes. In some cases, people inherit defective genes from their parents, giving rise to hereditary cancers, which make up around 10 percent of all cancers.
In the other 90 percent of cases, people are exposed to a carcinogen, or something that damages their DNA – this can be from something they ingest, inhale, or otherwise come into contact with.
“It is good news that only ten percent of cancers are hereditary while the other 90 percent is caused by something in the environment – because if we can identify these factors we can remove them from the environment and reduce the cancer burden,” Albrecht tells Health-e News.
The main cancer-causing culprit in the environment is tobacco, which is responsible for a third of all cancer cases. Diet is behind another 30 percent of cancers and an equal percentage of cancers are due to infections, hormones, radiation, chemicals or pollution, according to Professor Vikash Sewram, who heads the African Cancer Institute.
About nine percent of cancers are due to unknown causes.
Cancer’s causes – at home, on the table & on the braai
Research is continuously shedding light on possible links between cancer and chemicals we use everyday. Recently, University of Cape Town researchers found dangerously high levels of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, in various hair-straightening products used in South Africa as part of Brazilian Blowouts.[quote float=”left”]High cancer risk occupations include painting, hairdressing and dry cleaning…
“Chemicals came under the spotlight with the Baby Bottle Scandal (see box) that highlighted the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA),” Albrecht says. “From there, the story has been unfolding and every other day you hear about another chemical in your home or kitchen that may be harmful.”
For instance, you’ll be surprised at how many carcinogens you encounter at a braai. Not only tobacco smoke is bad for your health, smoke from any burning material, including cooking fires are also laden with carcinogens.
That beer, whiskey, wine or whatever alcoholic beverage you prefer, contains ethanol, which can cause cancer when used excessively. Your boerewors might contain nitrite, a preservative with carcinogenic properties commonly used in processed meat, and that charred crust on your chop or steak contains the known carcinogens, heterolylic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Some occupations have also been linked to cancer due to regular exposure to carcinogens. High-risk occupations include painting, hairdressing, shift work, carpentry and joinery, dry cleaning, fire fighting, printing, textile manufacturing and welding.
Although scientists are working tirelessly to find new treatments, Albrecht says there is no magic cancer cure in the foreseeable future. Eradication of the disease will require a combination of new and affordable treatments and vaccines, greater prevention efforts, and stricter legislation around carcinogens, the same as with tobacco.
- What does the science say? Take a look at the laundry list of everyday items that do and don’t cause cancer
It is impossible to protect yourself from everything in the environment that may be carcinogenic, but there are ways to limit your exposure. The first, and most obvious thing, is to avoid cigarette smoke – if you are a smoker, quit, and if you’re a non-smoker, stay away from other people’s smoke.
If you are not yet convinced to practice safe sex, here’s another reason to condomise – certain strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which is transferred via sexual contact, cause cancer of the cervix, penis, anus, mouth and throat. There is a vaccine guarding against HPV and parents should ensure their children are vaccinated.
Also, don’t skimp on sunscreen – always apply generous amounts when going outside. A sunscreen’s Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is calculated on a 2mm-thick layer of sunscreen and applying scant amounts reduces the SPF and efficacy of the product.
There are also some cancer-safety shopping tips. Look out for the CANSA logo while shopping – these products have been tested or examined by CANSA and was found to be safe. Be careful handling slips and receipts made from thermal invoice paper, which contains BPA. Albrecht suggests washing your hands after handling it and placing receipts in a plastic bag in your handbag to avoid BPA contaminating other items. Also be weary of cling wrap that was applied in store – don’t freeze food products in the original cling wrap, rather transfer it to a container or zip-lock bag before freezing. – Health-e News.

Scientists from SRON and TU Delft have developed a method to measure the signal loss in far-infrared instruments, designing a signal-carrying so-called microstrip for DESHIMA-2, a far-infrared instrument for the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) in Chile. The microstrip loses only 1 in 4900 photons.
DESHIMA-2 is the successor to DESHIMA, which was invented by researchers from SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research and TU Delft. It is being developed by researchers from those institutions with collaborators in the Netherlands and Japan. Far-infrared radiation consists of some of the few wavelengths that our atmosphere allows to pass through.

Michigan State defense ready for an encore
Tue, 29 Apr 2014 02:55:23 GMT —
It was fitting that the Michigan State spring game began with an interception on the first play from scrimmage.
Yes, the Spartans have lost a few big names off their sensational defense from a season ago, but coach Mark Dantonio isn't planning on a major drop-off.
Michigan State won the Rose Bowl last season behind one of the best defenses in the country, but the Spartans must now move on without linebackers Max Bullough and Denicos Allen and defensive backs Darqueze Dennard and Isaiah Lewis.
Defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi is back, and it will be up to him to build around lineman Shilique Calhoun and safety Kurtis Drummond.
Michigan State finished second in the nation in total defense and against the run in 2013.

Hair Loss Nashville
Diagnosis usually can involve blood work to test for nutrient deficiencies, scalp examination and gathering medic, lifestyle and family information.
Kobren encourages women interested in using minoxidil to obtain it overthecounter to save money.
When straight minoxidil was always reachable for much less money at regular pharmacies, a big deal of entrepreneurs will add minoxidil to steep in price shampoos and charge p dollar, he says. Finestaride works by blocking dihydrotestosterone creation, that fuels male pattern baldness, and doubleblind clinical trials have shown that finestaride may noticeably thicken men’s hair. Men with geneticallydriven hair loss have more options for hair regrowth, continues Kobren, thanks to a drug called finestaride, that is always marketed as Propecia by the pharmaceutical giant Merck. Yes, that’s right! They virtually under no circumstances gain ‘longterm’ benefit from the procedure, since HT sensitivity was usually rarely the huge problem for women. Mostly, the procedure’s success is usually predicated on moving DHT resistant hair to areas on scalp that previously grew ‘DHT sensitive’ hair. Surgery may be an effective option for men with male pattern baldness, says Kobren. Even effective therapies will be ineffective if treatment and root cause don’t align.
Lots of another miracle cures like thickening shampoos or standing on our head have been nothing more than snake oil, says Kobren.
This piece has always been critically crucial for success.
So most vital thing someone interested in surgery could do, says Kobren, was probably homework. In any case, forty percent of hair loss sufferers always were women, and phenomenon usually can be quite devastating for them. For a woman, it’s over. In reality, hair loss in midlife has usually been expected and they usually can still be seen as attractive, says Kobren, with men. One person may lose hair since a mix of stress and a latter surgery or medications. Remember, oftentimes the cause is usually a combination of factors. Basically, male pattern baldness, actually, usually was intersection result of hormones and heredity, occurring in men who have a genetic sensitivity to hormone dihydrotestosterone. Likewise, kobren founded a group, Hair inter-national Alliance Restoration Surgeons, to on the basis of their quality work, he said the organization has got consequences may persist after medicine discontinuation.
a lot of men shy away from taking finestaride, however, because of sexual possibility consequences, including loss of libido. Surely, Undoubtedly it’s an assortment from all. It’s a well the latter research indicates girls proceed with mother’s father, boys stick with father’s father, says Kingsley. Mostly, contrary to well known belief, notes Kingsley, genetic hair loss perhaps was not tied to your mother’s father. Did you know that the quite first step a person must get, says Sophia Emmanuel, a certified trichologist in NY, probably was to learn a dermatologist or trichologist to likewise, genetic hair loss says Emmanuel. Scarring will be caused by chemical hair styling solutions or ‘tootight’ pony tails, a huge poser Emmanuel sees with lots of African American women who have usually been hairloss sufferers. In such cases, hair growth may be encouraged by addressing underlying troubles.
Let’s say, hair loss is typically temporary, when cause is nutrient deficiency or stress.
I haven’t seen enough clinical data yet to show that it works, he says.
Anecdotal evidence, however, was promising. Then, kobren reckons that 1 next emerging therapies hold promise. Women with genetic or autoimmune related hair loss have extremely few options for hair regrowth, says Kobren. It solely helps maintain existing hair and does not promote regrowth, minoxidil was ‘FDA approved’ for women in a two percent concentration. He advises people interested in transplants to comb through site for someone in their area. Anyways, kobren cautions that the site is usually just a starting point a place to be free to do due diligence. Although, just since someone has always been listed there, says Kobren, doesn’t make him or her the right practitioner for a particular client.

Though not a terribly common name, there are a lot of Bollers out there. Ancestry.com claims to have 72,000 Boller family records in its database, with 25,000 Boller family trees! WOW!
As we mentioned at the outset of Our Boller Story, the name Boller -also Böller – is of South German and Swiss German origin – and it can have two different meanings.
First, a Boller is a name given to someone who came from any of several German communities named Boll – such as (see map above) Bad Boll. Boll is derived from the Middle High German topographic word – bolle, and it means ‘a rounded mound or hill’ or ‘a round container’. In Middle Low German, bolle can mean ‘anything ball shaped’.
Second, in South German and Swiss German, bollen means ‘to bluster’. So a Boller can be a nickname for ‘a noisy, blustery person, place or thing’. Yup, Winnie the Pooh knows what that’s like!
Boller is used in other languages as well. In Hungarian, Böllér is an occupational name for a butcher’s apprentice. In Norway, a boller is a sweet bread, and instead of just being a simple yeast dough that is lightly sweetened, cardamom is added to spice it up!
So, now that I’ve introduced you to the six generations of Bollers in my family line, let me bring you some stories about other Bollers out there who made a name for themselves around the turn-of-the-century.
First up – let’s venture out east to South Beach on Staten Island. South Beach is a neighborhood on the East Shore of Staten Island, New York City, situated directly south of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge (see map above).
South Beach on Staten Island thrived around the same time as the heyday of New York’s Coney Island. The 15-acre Happyland Amusement Park, an enclosed park with numerous attractions and landscape features, opened on June 30, 1906, to a crowd of 30,000 people. Upon its opening, the park contained a beachfront of 1,000 feet, a 1,500-foot pier, and a 30-foot-wide boardwalk, as well as a system of over 10,000 lights. The park’s rides included a circle swing, a magnetic house, a foolish house (fun house), a L.A. Thompson miniature railroad, an airship ride, a carousel, and a Shoot the Chute – a revolving 190-foot-tall tower. One source adds that “fortune tellers, card printers, and photography studios” began to open very close to the park, and by mid-1907, the park was seeing 20,000 patrons each summer weekend!
The Roller Boller Coaster Company was incorporated in 1906, and by the following year – 1907 – the all-wooden coaster was operating at Happyland. Based on the success of penny postcards featuring the new attraction, this Boller entertainment ride was quite popular.
(P-0372) The company quickly expanded in 1907 into Connecticut as well, building a Roller Boller Coaster at Savin Rock Park – which was known as Connecticut’s Coney Island in West Haven (see map above). Established in the 1870’s, and renamed The White City in the 1890’s, Savin Park included a number of roller coasters, other rides and numerous funhouses. By 1919, the park – now called Savin Rock Amusement Park – was attracting 1.2 million visitors each year!
Back in New Jersey, 1919 was a difficult year for Happyland – when a devastating fire swept through park, killing one woman, destroying 40 buildings, including the Roller Boller Coaster, and causing up to $200,000 in damage. Sadly, we don’t know the names of the Bollers who operated the Roller Boller Coaster Company, nor do we know when the coaster in Connecticut closed, but based on the color postcard below – it must have remained operating at Savin Rock well into the early 1960’s.
Bottom line – while we don’t know which Bollers started Roller Boller Coaster in 1906, it’s obvious that they took our ’rounded hill’ concept to a whole new dimension!
(BH-145) We don’t know much about the back story on this colorful little book from the turn-of-the-century – but J. Boller on 24 Ann Street in New York City published Boller’s Pantomine Book – using a printer in Germany to produce this unique classic. The inside pages are all cut in such a way that you can pick the way you want each character to dress up. A fun little kids’ adventure with some pretty spooky looking faces! Have fun!
Boller Beverages was located at 441 E. Jersey Street (pic below) in Elizabeth, New Jersey and was established in 1886 by German immigrants – Frank X. Boller and his wife, Ottilie Grimm. Starting out with both a saloon and a bottled mineral water business, the Bollers eventually moved to producing carbonated beverages in a variety of flavors.
Frank X. Boller was born on June 3, 1857 in Baden, Landkreis Verden, Lower Saxony, in northern Germany (see map below) near Bremen. Our Boller Family came from the area around Mainz – located in today’s southwestern Germany, so chances are, we are not close relatives, but yes, we are both from the ancient states of Germany.
In 1886, the same year that Frank opened his tavern in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Boller married Otillie Grimm – born on December 15, 1858 – and we are assuming that the marriage occurred in America, since we know – from the 1910 census below – that Frank came to America in 1884.
Frank & Ottilie had three children – Frank H. (1887-1969), Edward O. (1892-1954) and Martha B. (1899-1995). Frank, Jr., the oldest son, graduated from Rutgers College in 1908 with a degree in organic chemistry, and became president of Boller Beverages when his father died in 1911. Edward went on to serve as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War I, while Martha (below)- who also went by the name Bertha – went to on marry a very successful physician and surgeon – Dr. George Knauer (below).
Over the years, Boller Beverages had two different addresses on E. Jersey Street in Elizabeth. The 435 E. Jersey Street address (see pic below) is now a large empty lot. Our guess is that this is where the manufacturing plant was located, while the 441 E. Jersey Street address was the storefront for the Boller Tavern opened in 1886. Both addresses are used throughout the years on a variety of items.
Frank X. Boller died on June 14, 1911, at age 54, and his wife, Ottilie Boller, died on August 29, 1928, at age 69, and both are buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Hillside, New Jersey.
(M-0048) (M-0047) Frank H. Boller took over the reins of Boller Beverages – keeping it successfully going until his death in 1969.
Some of the more fondly-recalled Boller flavors included creme soda, birch beer, and black cherry. Numerous fans over the years would comment on how Boller Ginger Ale was a staple in most homes – used as both a beverage for children – and for mixing in drinks.
Newspaper ads from the 1950’s featured a variety of Boller Beverage products, and the Boller Ginger Ale postcard promotion (below) from 1951 saved you 5-cents on a bottle!
Sadly, Boller Beverages went out of business sometime in the early 1990’s, and the factory was closed. Boller Beverages – gone, but not forgotten.
Carl H. Boller was born on October 31, 1868 in Cooper County, Missouri – just west of Columbia. 19 years later, on March 10, 1887, his younger brother – Robert O. Boller – was born in St. Joseph. Their parents – Charles W. and Pauline (Gritzmacher) Boller – raised nine children – 3 sons and 6 daughters – with both Carl and Robert finishing eighth grade at Ernst School in St. Joseph. Their eldest brother – William F. – was involved in vaudeville, and for a time, Carl joined Will’s troupe as a scenery artist.
Though neither Carl nor Robert received any formal training in the field, Carl began his work in architecture around 1902 in St. Joseph – doing layouts for vaudeville circuits – and by 1905, he owned his own architectural firm in Kansas City. At age 18, Robert joined his brother’s firm as an apprentice draftsman, and together they worked on a variety of projects, including nickelodeon theaters in Nevada during the 1907 Gold Rush.
During World War I, Robert served in the U. S. Corps of Engineers, and after the war, he returned to his brother’s firm, and around 1920, the name of the company became Boller Brothers. The movie boom of the 1920’s brought prosperity to the business, and in addition to their Kansas City office, Carl and Robert opened a second office in Oklahoma, and later, yet another one in Los Angeles! Both the Great Depression and World War II proved difficult for the Bollers, just as it did for other businesses, but the brothers continued together in their work – developing theater designs well into the mid-1940’s. After Carl’s death in Los Angeles in October of 1946, Robert kept the firm open until 1957, when he closed the office, moved to Dallas TX, where he passed in 1962.
Over their fifty-plus years in business, the Boller Brothers were responsible for, or consulted on, 46 different theaters – from Illinois to California – with facilities including the Midland Theatre (1927) and the Electric Theatre (1922), both in Kansas City, the Centre Theatre in Oklahoma City (1947), the Boulder Theatre in Boulder, Colorado (1906), the Kimo Theatre in Albuquerque, New Mexico (1927), and the Missouri Theatre in the Boller’s hometown of St. Joseph, Missouri (1927). Thirteen buildings in total are now listed in the National Register of Historic Places – all of which are located in Kansas. Sadly, many of the other Boller Brother theatres have now been razed or modified, but you can find a complete list of Boller Brothers-designed theatres here.
In Goodview – a small Winona County community near Winona, Minnesota – just west of the mighty Mississippi River – you will find Bollers Lake.
How it got its name, and which Bollers it’s connected with – we don’t know. But apparently, Bollers Lake is a fairly good fishing spot, with the most popular species being caught – Large mouth bass, Northern pike, and Black bullhead. See ya’all at our lake! You bring the line, I’ll bring the pole!
So, there you have it. From a lake in Minnesota to a roller coaster company back East – from a popular soda pop distributor to a couple of well-known movie theater architects. One pretty entertaining group of Bollers!

The truth about these Marvel films is that, even though they are well-made and employ top directors, sometimes the production continues on until the very last minute. As a result, so too does the news slowly seep out regarding the production, new information coming to light within mere weeks of the film's release. And now, because August 1st brings us Guardians Of The Galaxy, we've received word that there's one particular cameo coming in the superhero film that should please fans.
James Gunn responded to a Tweet asking if frequent collaborator Nathan Fillion was going to appear in Guardians Of The Galaxy as the hero Nova. His response dismissed this possibility.
However, like the good reporters they are, Twitter couldn't stop, wouldn't stop, re-wording the question slightly. And suddenly, we learn the truth about Fillion, one that we had previously heard.
So, okay, a few things. It seemed oddly specific for Nathan Fillion to be singled out for Nova. Maybe a few years ago, when Fillion was in better shape, both career-wise and body-wise. Let's face it, the success of TV's Castle has allowed Fillion to drop the pretense of a leading-man action-star physique that he briefly sported in Serenity. He could reach that body type again, but why would he? Castle, now in season seven, has made him a very wealthy man.
Of course, there's the tricky part of this rumor. "Nova" is usually considered to be Richard Rider, a human gifted with powers and recruited to the Nova Corps, an intergalactic police force led by Glenn Close in Guardians of The Galaxy. Of course, that means there are technically MANY Novas, one of them being Close's Nova Prime Irani Rael, another being John C. Reilly's Rhomann Dey. In other words, maybe Fillion isn't playing Nova, but A NOVA, a member of the Nova Corps, maybe a snarky administrative type.
Then again, whenever someone is rumored to play a role in the Marvel films, most fans will just automatically assume they're in a pivotal role from the comics. Chances are, as much fun it might be to see Fillion as a standout Marvel character, maybe he's just playing "a guy." Or better yet, given that ABC and Marvel share a parent company in Disney, maybe Fillion is just playing Richard Castle. Come on, you don't think Groot looks like a Castle fan?

Come March 2019 and Samsung would be announcing its next flagships in the main Galaxy series. But in an image carried by the Chinese website Weibo, it can be seen that there are four models of the Samsung Galaxy S10 in the offing. These are the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, Galaxy S10 X, and Galaxy S10 X 5G. The last one has caught the interest of the observers for two reasons; one is this might be the first 5G enabled phone commercially launched. The other is that the image shows its RAM at a humongous 12 GB, beating the 10 GB that Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 3 has.
More Details Leaked by Weibo
Some of the other information to emerge out of the Chinese site include the size of the display screens. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus will sport a 5.8 inch screen while the top end 5G enabled Galaxy S10 5G will have a large 6.44-inch display. The RAM will vary from 4 GB on the lowest end to 8 GB on the Samsung Galaxy S10X. Interestingly, there is another phone, from the Huawei stable, the Huawei P30 Pro that is likely to sport a 12 GB RAM.
Triple Camera Setups in the Rear Likely
When it comes to the camera setup, at least 2 of the 4 phones being discussed here, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S10X can be expected to be fitted with 3 shooters in the back panel and the likely combination will be 16 MP + 12 MP + 13 MP. The other disclosure is the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. This again would feature in the Galaxy S10 + and the Galaxy S10X variants.
On internal storage, the rumors now leaked, 128 GB will be the internal storage in the Samsung Galaxy S10 standard edition. There is no clarity if the higher end phones will have 256 GB storage or not. This is raised since the Galaxy S9 already has 256 GB ROM and going back to 128 GB might appear strange. Storage levels could reach crazier levels in the future models of phones with 1TB internal storage possible in about 3 years. As far as these new Samsung Galaxy S10 series phones are concerned, one might see the UFS 3.0 released and a couple of phones in this launch coming with the feature.
It will not be out of place to expect the latest iteration CPUs and the Android Pie OS will be featured in these Samsung phones whenever launched.

Air dispersion modelling is today's key concept in environmental regulation. Dispersion modelling utilizes information about sources, meteorological conditions and topography to compute the behavior of pollutants in the air.
Protecting and Managing the Ambient Air Quality
In the past, air pollutant concentrations resulting from emission sources were estimated manually. However, in today’s advancing world, dispersion modelling is facilitated with powerful software, which can perform thousands of calculations in no time.
Air dispersion models are used for scrutinizing scenarios that would otherwise be extremely expensive, challenging or destructive to do in the real world. For instance, dispersion models can be used to answer tough questions such as:
Which emission sources are responsible for air pollution?
Should a proposed factory be built or not?
Not only can a model identify the contributors to poor air quality, but it can decide whether a proposed new source is a threat. Thus, air dispersion models help in decision making so as to protect and manage the ambient air quality.
When a company plans to construct or modify an industrial facility, an air dispersion model plays a major role in the air permitting process.
Air quality is of growing concern in communities across B C because it can affect our health and the environment. It is often assumed that air quality is determined by how much is emitted into the air;
Dispersion Model Results– How Accurate or Inaccurate?
Dispersion models are based on our understanding of how pollutants move through the atmosphere and what the pollution concentration is at particular points.
Used to calculate the downwind air concentration of air pollutants emitted from industrial plants, vehicular traffic or accidental chemical releases, all dispersion models are a representation of reality.
At the end of the day, these are all models, which is why we cannot expect them to provide perfect results at all times.
This is because our understanding of the details of the behavior of air pollution is incomplete, and so the equations which describe this process are incomplete too. Air dispersion models need inputs (emissions, weather and geography). Poor quality inputs give way to poor quality output. The dispersion model is powerful yet not so powerful that it can correct poor input magically.
It’s crucial to select the correct model for a given situation and ensure all the inputs have been checked for totality and accuracy. Modellers must be skilled enough to guide decision-makers in the correct use of output.
The Ministry of Environment archives air quality data to check how accurate a model performs by comparing model predictions to actual observations. This offers some level of confidence in the model and helps in determining any parts of the model that need improvement.

Bengeo Field spreads alongside Wadesmill Road and Sacombe Road just on the edge of Hertford and is much loved and utilised by local residents. There is very strong local objection to further development in Bengeo Field and we are asking EHDC Councillors and planners to take into account our concerns.
This land was designated as green belt. It was removed from green belt protection on the assumption that, after minerals had been extracted, the landscape quality would have deteriorated and this reduced quality would then make it acceptable for residential development.
The minerals plan enquiry, approved by the Secretary of State, determined that the landscape of Bengeo Field was of exceptionally high value and was the primary grounds for rejection of the minerals extraction application.
This was not fully taken into account in the Local Plan inspection when the green belt designation was changed without any specific public consultation. We request that any planning decisions are put on hold and the full consultation on reinstating the Green Belt takes place.
This ePetition runs from 16/09/2023 to 19/11/2023.

Moving boldly forward while preserving our distinctive identity will require dedication and partnership.
Dr. Walter Shaw ’63
Ignited Campaign Steering Committee
The need for Christian leaders in our world has never been more apparent. The stakes are high. Every day there are more young people who need to be educated, more sick people who need healing, more people with no hope who need to see and hear redemptive stories being told with skill and effectiveness. An Asbury education can accomplish these things.
We have reached another pivotal point in our history with the launch of Ignited: The Campaign for Asbury University. With the unanimous consent of our trustees, the initiatives we have identified will blaze a new path for Christian higher education, where students experience the integration of faith and learning in fresh new ways.
Your philanthropic investment can include any combination of:
The most common types of outright gifts are contributions by check, credit card or stock. Asbury may also accept outright gifts of real estate, artwork, gifts-in-kind, closely held business interests and other assets.
The most common estate gifts are listed below. To find out more and obtain a complete list of options available, please contact our Planned Giving Office at (800) 888-1818, x2707.
A bequest is a gift made to charity through your will or trust. It can be a specific sum of money or a percentage or remainder of your estate after distribution to loved ones. A bequest is one of the most simple and flexible ways you can make a lasting impact on Asbury University.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a life income gift that can provide future philanthropic support for Asbury University, current income for you or others, and a meaningful income tax deduction.
Life insurance is more than a source of security for your family’s future; it is a versatile asset that can be left to Asbury University as a charitable gift.
See the Naming Opportunies page to view a list of naming opportunities in the Ignited Campaign.

Viking Supply Ships AB: (OSE:VSS01)(STO:VSSAB)
· Total revenue was MSEK 458 (930)
· EBITDA was MSEK 38 (303)
· Result after tax was MSEK -282 (170)

· EBITDA was MSEK 182 (435)
· Result after tax was MSEK -317 (92)
· Result after tax per share was SEK -1.8 (0.6)
Summary of events in third quarter
· The market conditions have been challenging during the quarter, characterized with abundant supply and decreasing demand. Consequently, during Q3, the PSV vessels Idun, Frigg and Nanna Viking have been laid up. The decision will reduce operational costs going forward and will have a positive impact on the results from the fourth quarter of 2015, with full effect expected from the first quarter of 2016. The remaining two PSV vessels are operating in the North Sea spot market.
· Impairments of the PSV fleet value impacted the Q3 result negatively by MSEK 185.
· Impairments and provisions related to the ongoing restructuring of the subsidiary TransAtlantic AB impacted the Q3 result negatively by MSEK 23.
· Unrealized currency effects impacted the Q3 result negatively by MSEK 37.
· During Q3, Brage Viking was upgraded to Ice-Class 1A-Super in Singapore and is now back on-hire in Sakhalin. The upgrade was achieved below budget costs, but due to necessary off-hire it impacted the Q3 result negatively with MSEK 19.
· The contract for Njord Viking has been extended. The vessel is now firm till 31st December 2016, with options to extend the contract with 2 x 6 months. The total value of the extended period is about MSEK 270 including optional periods.
· Shell US has announced that the company will not continue the exploration program offshore Alaska within the foreseeable future due to the current market conditions, which means that Shell US will not declare the optional period for Tor Viking for the 2016 drilling season. The Shell US decision will not impact the 2015 results.
· As a response to the continued weak market conditions, VSS A/S has initiated a new Market Adaption Program (MAP), with the ambition to reduce yearly operational costs with up to MSEK 70. This comes as an addition to already implemented yearly cost reductions of MSEK 45.
· The average fixture rate in Q3 was NOK 407,000 (522,000) for the AHTS fleet and GBP 3,660 (13,700) for the PSV fleet. The average utilization in Q3 was 63% (95) for the AHTS fleet and 39% (69) for the PSV fleet.
· Ulrik Hegelund was appointed Chief Financial Officer in Viking Supply Ships A/S as well as Viking Supply Ships AB with effect as of 1st September 2015.
· As a consequence of the weak market conditions for conventional AHTS vessels, VSS A/S has, after the end of the quarter, decided to lay-up Odin Viking. VSS A/S will commence negotiations with the employees with the ambition to minimize lay-offs.
· The Group is after the balance day, according to contract coverage clauses and loan-to-value clauses, requested to deposit additional security (see note 5, Operational and financial risk).
· TransAtlantic AB has signed agreements to divest its container and ship management operations. Both transactions are expected to be closed in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Manchester United have expressed an interest in Borussia Dortmund and Greece defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, according to reports from Germany.
News of the Swede’s arrival has conversely placed the futures of both Phil Jones and Chris Smalling into doubt as Jose Mourinho continues to build his ideal defensive frontier ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.
And according to German outlet Bild, Man United have joined Chelsea in the pursuit of the 29-year-old.
News of Mourinho seeking out yet another centre back so soon after capturing the tantalising prospect of Lindelof could shed some light on the murky predicaments of Jones and Smalling this summer.
It was thought that, following Lindelof’s arrival, Mourinho was angling towards having a defensive quartet of Marcos Rojo, Eric Bailly, the Swede and one of Jones and Smalling, with Daley Blind and Axel Tuanzebe capable of acting as cover.
But perhaps the Portuguese has other ideas. Sokratis serves as a more traditional, stellar option, hardened by years of experience with various European sides, and Mourinho may feel as if capturing his signature – and, in turn, moving both Jones and Smalling out of the picture – is necessary for when it comes to building the defence he wants for next season.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will satirize their off-screen relationship, when the “Black Swan” beauty cameos on “Two and a Half Men.”
Kunis, who is rumored to be pregnant and engaged to Kutcher, has landed a guest spot on her soon-to-be-husband’s show, and it features dialogue that pokes at their real-life romance.
In a preview for the episode, which premieres April 10, Kunis’ character shares a take-out Chinese meal with Kutcher’s Walden Schmidt and says, “I bet you only date hot actresses,” to which he responds, “God no, I’d never date an actress. They’re all crazy.”
Kunis replies, “I’m sure they’re not all crazy,” and Kutcher responds, “Trust me, they are”.
The actress then jokes, “Who cares who’s dating whom, or who’s engaged to who, or who has a sex tape that no one will ever, ever see!”
J-Connection: Mila Kunis is Jewish.

UNGA Resolution and Its Impacts on Climate Change
Why in news?
Recently, United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) passed a resolution asking the ICJ to give an advisory opinion about obligations of countries to protect people from climate extremities based on the promises they have made to the UNFCCC.
How vulnerable are countries to climate change?
According to German Watch Institute, Japan, Philippines and Germany and small island nations are the most affected countries by climate change today.
- According to Emissions Gap Report 2022.
- The world must cut emissions by 45% to avoid global catastrophe.
- The world is far off track to limiting global warming to 5°C the most-ambitious target set out by the Paris Agreement.
What is the resolution about?
- The resolution was passed by the Pacific Island of Vanuatu and supporters that was devastated by Cyclone Pam in 2015.
- It prepared the draft resolution that was eventually co- sponsored by 132 countries at the UNGA and went through without a vote.
- The draft resolution invoked Article 96 of the N. Charter to ask the ICJ to deliberate on two questions.
- What are the obligations of states under international law to ensure the protection of the climate system.
- What are the legal consequences under these obligations for states that have caused significant harm to the climate system, particularly for Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
The resolution refers to several international protocols including the Paris Agreement (2015), the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and even the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
What is India’s position in the resolution?
- India did not join the majority of countries that co-sponsored the draft resolution.
- India is also watching how global powers like the S. and China respond to the resolution.
- Indian officials have said that the ICJ process can only speak about climate change issues and problems broadly and cannot name or profile any one country in the process.
What is the jurisdiction of international court of justice (ICJ)?
- ICJ is the highest global court recognized by all 193 UN members.
- It is composed of 15 judges elected to 9 year terms of office by the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council.
- The President and Vice-President are elected by the Members of the Court every three years by secret ballot.
- The Court is not composed of representatives of the government.
There are two types of ICJ jurisdictions.
- Contentious jurisdiction – Resolving legal disputes between consenting states
- Advisory jurisdiction – The UNGA, the Security Council and other specialized bodies of the organization can request the ICJ for an opinion on a legal question.
- The ICJ’s advisory opinions are non-binding but carries legal weight and moral authority.
- Advisory opinions given in the past on the Palestinian issue (Construction of the Wall), nuclear threats and on the dispute between the K. and Mauritius over the Chagos Islands have been respected.

text: a few years ago, i skied out to this shrine mountain division hut in vail pass. the hike took eight hours, as we weaved our way up through the snow up to the little cabin sitting right on top of the mountain. we ate hot soup followed by s’mores, told horror stories, then dozily sat by the fire until we fell asleep in our plump sleeping bags. in the morning we hiked up to the summit, skied the fresh powder snow down to the trees, to have a picnic amongst the pines. we had to ski back out to the road, so we waited in a little ramshackle roadhouse with dollar bills tacked all over the roof until our ride arrived. we wrote our names on one, pinned it to the wall, then drove the four hour commute on a freezing cold yellow bus back to aspen.

Dog walking is one way to resolve bad behaviors. When your dog has pent up energy or is bored, he/she may show you bad behaviors. Burning up excess energy will tire out your dog so that he/she will behave properly.
People are talking about a new way of taking care of their pets, when they are out of town.
In the past, people used to board their pets at kennels, which have cold, cement floors. Even a veterinarian's office for boarding has diseases in the air.
Today, pet sitters stay at your house, while you are on vacation. Your pets will love the individual attention that your pet sitter gives to your pets.
Animal lovers have opened pet businesses to help you with your pets. Pet businesses are booming, and pet sitters understand all pets.
Amphibians, bunnies, pet pockets, and reptiles are becoming more popular because people, who live in apartments, need to have pets that are quiet.
During the House Visit, pet sitters will clean cages, refresh water bowls and make sure the temperature is set correctly.
My mission is to help you have a happy pet.
There are meals to prepare, kids to help and guests to entertain. And your family pet also needs attention.
Your pet's needs are simple, and any issue that arises usually is easy to resolve. Search the blogs, on this website, to answer any questions vthat you may have regarding your pet.

Evolving from a school group, the Makers, these leading UK New Romantics formed in 1979 with a line-up comprising Gary Kemp (16 October 1959, Islington, London, England; guitar), his brother Martin Kemp (b. 10 October 1961, Islington, London, England; bass), Tony Hadley (b. Anthony Patrick Hadley, 2 June 1960, Islington, London, England), John Keeble (b. 6 July 1959, Islington, London, England; drums), and Steve Norman (b. 25 March 1960, Islington, London, England; rhythm guitar/saxophone/percussion). Another school colleague, Steve Dagger, became the bands long-standing manager. Spandau Ballet originally came to prominence as part of the new romantic scene revolving around a handful of fashionable London clubs, at which the habitués would dress in outlandish clothes and make-up. Such was the interest in this unknown band that the group was offered a contract by Island Records proprietor Chris Blackwell. This was rejected and, instead, the band...

Yoo Jae Hwan Chooses Between Girls’ Generation’s Sunny and IU
Composer Yoo Jae Hwan was a guest on MBC FM4U’s “Kim Shin Young’s Hope Song at Noon” which aired on October 6.
On the radio show, Yoo Jae Hwan described his experience being a guest on variety show “Radio Star.” He explained that he was extremely nervous and felt like his heart was going to burst.
“I felt like I was having a panic attack,” described Yoo Jae Hwan, “Park Na Rae spoke very well on the show and that made me even more nervous. I had no idea how I would be able to answer any questions.”
He further stated, “Recently, I was a guest on Sunny’s radio show and she made it very comfortable for me. I was very touched when she asked me to be friends first since our ages are similar. We exchanged numbers and contact each other frequently. It felt weird to be able to call someone from Girls’ Generation, though.”
Kim Shin Young then asked, “You had stated that IU was your ideal type on ‘Infinity Challenge’. Between Sunny and IU, who do you like better?”
Flustered by the difficult question, Yoo Jae Hwan cautiously ended up choosing Sunny.
“I contact Sunny more often. Therefore, I am more comfortable with her than IU,” he explained.
On another note, Yoo Jae Hwan recently released the song, ‘Coffee’, featuring Kim Ye Rim. The song was composed by Park Myung Soo and is drawing a lot of popularity right now. Make sure to take a listen!
