Hollywood firm to build £300m film and TV studio in Dagenham
Production complex will create 1,200 jobs and contribute £35m a year to east London economy.
A US property developer that owns studios where films including Gone with the Wind and TV shows such as The Sopranos were filmed is investing £300m to build a Hollywood-style production complex in Dagenham, east London.
Hackman Capital Partners, the owner of sites including Culver Studios in Los Angeles and Silvercup Studios in New York, has agreed to invest £300m over the next three years to develop the site with the first productions due to start filming by mid-2022.
“Dagenham used to be famous for factories and Fords but in the future we will be equally famous for making films,” said Darren Rodwell, the leader of Barking and Dagenham council. “It’s about bringing in thousands of jobs, providing education and training opportunities for local young people, and giving people hope in these gloomy Covid times.”
The council estimates the studio will create 1,200 jobs and contribute £35m a year to the east London economy. The Studios site will include 12 sound stages over 4.5 hectares (11 acres), about two-thirds the size of Pinewood, the home of the Star Warsand James Bond franchises.
“This is a very special moment for Dagenham, our capital and all those who have been working hard to realise this bold vision of bringing a new world-class film studio to east London,” said the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.
The plan to build a studio in east London has been a challenging venture for the council, which was forced to seek a new investor after its original backer, Pacifica Ventures, pulled out last year citing Brexit uncertainty.

Surprise! Tyra Banks welcomes 'miracle' baby boy via surrogate, thanks 'angel' who carried him
Tyra Banks is a mother!
The former America's Next Top Model host welcomed her first child, Yorks Banks Asla, to the world via surrogate, and wrote a sweet message on Wednesday to thank the "angel of a woman" who carried the baby to term.
"The best present we worked and prayed so hard for is finally here. He's got my fingers and big eyes and his daddy Erik's mouth and chin," the 42-year-old model wrote on Instagram. "As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone. York Banks Asla, welcome to the world."
This is Tyra's first child with her photographer boyfriend Erik Asla. The new mom has opened up about her fertility struggles in the past, saying, "I've had some not happy moments with that, very traumatic moments."

"It's difficult as you get older. It's not something that can just happen," she added in an interview to People. "Since I was 24, I used to say every year, 'I will have kids in three years'... I kept saying it over and over again."

I am a Krav Maga (KMG) instructor teaching out of my own school in South Perth. Around the start of this year at the age 38 I was looking to up my game and try to stay as fit and mentally strong as I could. I didn’t want to end up the fat instructor in the gym happy to rest on my laurels. My goal is to keep pushing forward, keep learning, and keep improving. I met Rhyanna at the gym I was attending. Being a martial artist herself, she identified with what I was looking for straight away, and I decided to give her personal training a go. I was rewarded with the most thorough appraisal I’d ever had, followed by an intense and technical workout. I’ve had personal trainers before, but none that explained why I was doing a particular exercise, or why I need to do it a particular way. I was very impressed, and signed up for 2 sessions a week.
As a way to keep me motivated, Rhyanna asked if she could start training with me during our sessions. I really enjoy training with her except that she often ends up leaving me for dead. I can’t complain about how tough a workout is when she’s killing it right next to me. Since training with Rhyanna I’ve become noticeably stronger and faster. This not only reflects in Krav Maga and boxing, but other activities like mountain biking as well. She has become more than a trainer over the past months, and I regard her as a true friend.
Unfortunately a few months ago Rhyanna moved to Mandurah making training with her twice a week almost impossible. However, every Saturday I wake up at 5:30am and travel for an hour just to train with her. I think this is the biggest compliment I could give her, and the proof of how much I appreciate and respect her service. I would recommend her to anyone looking for improve their fitness and wellbeing, no matter what their goals may be. She is fantastic!

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MedPharm Research, a wholly owned subsidiary of MedPharm Holdings, a leading medical cannabis manufacturer, R&D laboratory, and compounding facility, announces that they have been approved for a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Schedule I Researcher License.
Having this license from the DEA means that MedPharm Research is authorized to possess and use cannabis related Schedule I substances for research purposes, which includes the ability to ship investigational medications over state lines for clinical trials.
The process for approving the license is rigorous, involving specific protocols from the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which reviews applications sent from the DEA. The DEA makes the final determination on approving applications for research using schedule I substances and drugs.
Obtaining approval for this new license represents another impressive win for MedPharm as it continues to grow its research capabilities and enhance its leadership position in the cannabis industry.
“It’s been a long road to getting a federally approved license,” Albert Gutierrez, CEO of MedPharm Research, says. “We are thrilled and honored that the DEA saw the importance and significance of the work we do at MedPharm. We proved to them that we deserve this license.”
The DEA license enables MedPharm Research to isolate and evaluate the activity of phytocannabinoids on different brain cells (such as neuron, astrocytes, microglia). The goal of the process is to markedly improve isolation and purification methods for cannabinoids, and to systematically examine the effects of single compounds as well as complex mixtures on the different cell types that make up the brain during normal and diseased states.
It also makes the company the ideal partner for researchers seeking to study cannabis.
According to Duncan Mackie, PhD, the director of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics for MedPharm, the license allows MedPharm to study all of the more than 400 molecules known to be made by the cannabis plant. “These are the first steps in the drug discovery pipeline that MedPharm Research is establishing with the goal of pushing cannabinoid research towards a more translational foundation, where interesting chemical compounds from a basic sciences viewpoint can be translated into a more applicable state that directly benefits human health,” Mackie says.
“The acquisition of this research license comes at a time when the DEA is beginning to allow for new bulk manufacturers of cannabis and cannabis products. This means that there will be more varieties of cannabis available that are of higher quality than what has been available to date,” says director of chemistry and research, Tyrell Towle, PhD. “Access to the diversity of chemicals produced by cannabis has never been greater and we are excited to unlock the medical potential of these compounds.”
MedPharm has a 15,000-square-foot manufacturing, research and development laboratory and cannabis processing facility in Denver, Colorado. Since beginning operations in 2017, MedPharm has grown to a staff of 44 people. The company provides cannabis pharmaceutical-type products in a certified current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) facility that includes cultivation, pre-formulation, formulation development, small scale commercial manufacturing, analytical method development and validation, routine quality control analysis and stability studies. MedPharm creates pharmaceutical-grade dosage forms and produces ingredients utilizing pharmaceutical technology to be used in the delivery of cannabis compounds. The company specializes in neuropharmacology with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. More information can be found about MedPharm at: www.medpharmholdings.com.

Stop Being So Hard on Yourself, Mama
Hey, mamas! I know it’s been a while since I’ve popped in! I have been spending some time adjusting to life as a mom of two boys under the age of 2. [Please note that I’m using the word “adjusting” very loosely.]
I’ll be honest, it’s not as easy as I thought it would be! I have found that I began getting very frustrated with myself when things just simply do not work out the way I have planned.
Between nap schedules, feedings, and planning engaging activities, I can imagine it is very easy for all moms to be super hard on themselves. So, whether you work or stay at home with the kids, I’m here to tell you that you need to be kinder to yourself as a mom. Here’s why:
Kids are unpredictable
So, word on the street is that routines help kids thrive. With routines, they are able to better predict what is going to happen next and they also become better at dealing with transitions.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge supporter of schedules and routines. However, if you have kids, you know that once they get something in their mind they DO. NOT. LET. IT. GO. Call it self-advocacy if you want. Most of the time, it's stubbornness!
You could have planned the coolest color sorting activity or letter scavenger hunt for your child. But, as you know, if they don’t want to participate, they simply won’t. [Cue temper tantrum from kid and eye roll from mom].
Lack of sleep makes things worse
When is the last time you got a really good night’s sleep? I’m not talking a decent sleep, either. Like full on, uninterrupted, restorative sleep. Did you say college? Girl, I feel you.
We all know that, without good sleep, it’s hard [no, impossible] to function. While some days are definitely easier than others, I find that most days there is not enough coffee in the world to help me.
Without proper sleep, we still try to perform our best. Sometimes, our best is staying in our pajamas, snuggling up with our kids, and having an all-day movie and popcorn marathon.
While you may feel guilty about too much screen time (gasp!), your kids will think you’re just as cool as any other day. They need days to recharge, too!
Our brains are overflowing
Do you ever feel like your brain is like a web browser with a million tabs open? That’s because it is. As moms, we are expected to keep track of everything.
While we are trying to push our own insecurities and worries out of our heads, we are simultaneously trying to remember soccer practices, who has to do their homework still, why our child is mad at their friend, and that our smoke detector needs batteries.
Once you sit and think about what we actually are able to remember to do, you quickly realize that moms are freaking superheroes. Why do we get so mad at ourselves when we forget one small thing?
So, mamas. I see you feeling down because your day took a turn for the worse, you burned dinner because you were playing hide and seek with your kid, or you didn’t get around to cleaning your kitchen today. We have all been there. We are all just doing the best we can and tomorrow will be better. Hang in there!

Just when you thought things might get a little simpler on The Walking Dead... Wait... You probably never had that thought. And if you did, you were wrong.
The upcoming sixth season of AMC's hit series based on the Image comics series written and created by Robert Kirkman will apparently be, "particularly complicated," according to Norman Reedus who plays fan-favorite character, Daryl Dixon.
"There’s lots of action and lots of drama and lots of sadness like we always bring, but this season’s particularly complicated," Reedus told Nerdist. "The storylines are really interwoven with future and past. Certain things happen, and you’re kind of like, 'Wow, that just happened.' Then you’ll find out episodes later why that happened and what that meant. [Executive producer] Scott [Gimple]’s so good at planning for the future and taking little things and making them mean big things later. And you go, 'Oh, that’s what that means…' A real mature sort of storytelling has really taken us over right now. It’s super interesting and super thrilling."
So, The Walking Dead: Days of Future Past is certainly upon us in October. Showrunner Scott Gimple recently opened up about how the first half of season six will thicken the backstory with storytelling which could almost be considered a prequel. Pairing Gimple's words with Reedus' claim about the story becoming complicated sounds like a head scratching run of episodes is approaching.
As for what the first half of season six will explore in terms of backstory, it's likely Alexandria's roots, the Wolves, and perhaps the infamous Saviors from the comics. Not to mention, we have no idea what Morgan's journey has been like, not only on his march up the east coast but morally, which made him value all life.
We'll know more about The Walking Dead and it's sixth season this Friday after The Walking Dead takes over San Diego Comic Con's 6,500 seat Hall H. For more on that, stay tuned to ComicBook.com!

The Mind & Life Institute continues the tradition of hosting its signature program, the annual Mind and Life Summer Research Institute (MLSRI) at the Garrison Institute every year in mid-June. Over the course of a week, a community coalesces. In a rich and intimate retreat-like setting, together we dive deeply into a theme related to contemplative studies. With a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds, seasoned scholars, scientists, practitioners, and professionals involved in applied fields join those who are in formative stages of their training and careers. We share and listen, explore different paradigms, challenge our assumptions, and stretch our perspectives. We engage in contemplative practices firsthand: meditation, yoga, and T’ai Chi are woven into each day, and we engage in a full silent day of contemplative immersion midway through the program. Overlooking the Hudson River, the beautiful grounds and grand stone dwelling of the Garrison Institute provide the perfect setting to foster both conversation and quiet reflection. At the end of the week, we go forward with new ways of thinking and being, and with new connections and collaborations to inspire and transform our work in the academy and in the world.
The 13th annual MLSRI, entitled People, Place, and Practice: Putting Contemplative Studies into Context, took place from June 11-17, 2016 and brought together a diverse group of over 120 participants from six continents, 15 countries, and 22 states. Along with more than a dozen distinguished scholars in the field, we explored the important topic of “context” and its relevance to contemplative studies. This issue is especially timely as mindfulness and other contemplative practices burgeon in our society and globally. Deeply rooted religious or contemplative practices had specific meanings in traditional cultures, but how do they translate when disseminated into new cultures and practiced in mainstream settings? Equally important, what are the ethical implications of this dissemination? And as we know that context shapes the mind in many ways, how can be best study these practices in new contexts?
Over the course of the week, we heard important perspectives from leaders in social sciences and philosophy, religious studies and neuroscience, clinical research and social justice. Major themes included the need to extend our conception of “mind” beyond just the brain, and to find ways to carefully measure the impact of important contextual variables related to contemplative practice, including social structures, physical environment, developmental factors, whole-body systems, and cultural dynamics. We also had rich discussions around an important and often overlooked context: diversity and inclusion within contemplative studies. And as always, we were pleased to be able to highlight the latest research from several of our Mind and Life Varela Award recipients who are studying how contemplative practices impact the mind-body-behavior continuum. But perhaps most importantly, amid the rich intellectual discussions, deep bonds of connection were formed.
Throughout the week, long-time participants could sense that the field of contemplative studies is maturing, and a new generation of scholars is emerging. There is fresh energy around the questions of how to integrate first-person perspectives into rigorous research, how to extend our concept of mind, and how to apply our work in the world in the most beneficial ways. For many participants, this was their first exposure to the Mind and Life community. We are thrilled to witness the ongoing expansion of this field and to continue to serve as a home for people from so many academic and personal backgrounds.
In the words of one of this year’s participants, “The week was nourishing both intellectually and emotionally, and has allowed me to take some of what I have learned, and what has inspired me, back to my home [in Africa].” We look forward to connecting once again at the Mind and Life Summer Research Institute at the Garrison Institute next summer.

How Counselling Support Helps Singaporeans Overcome Adversity And Build Resilience
Adversity can be an obstacle that stands in the way of achieving our life goals. It is important to understand how we can best cope with these struggles and build resilience so that we are better equipped to take on future challenges. In order to do this, many Singaporeans have found counselling support to be a valuable source of strength and guidance. This article will explore how counselling support helps Singaporeans overcome adversity and build resilience for a brighter tomorrow.
The first paragraph will discuss why it is beneficial to seek out counselling support when facing difficult times. The second paragraph will look into what kinds of counselling support exist in Singapore and who they may benefit most. Lastly, readers will gain insight into the positive impact that accessing counselling services has had on those dealing with adversity in their lives.
For individuals struggling to find solutions or feeling overwhelmed by the obstacles they face, seeking professional help should not feel like a sign of weakness but rather as an empowering choice towards building greater strength and resilience. By understanding the different forms of counselling available today, along with their potential benefits, one can start taking practical steps towards overcoming adversity and creating a happier future ahead.
Types Of Adversity Commonly Experienced By Singaporeans
Adversity, or challenges of life, can come in many forms. Singaporeans may face adversity such as family issues, mental health problems and financial struggles. Family counselling is one way for Singaporeans to overcome these challenges. This type of counselling helps them understand the root causes of their difficulties and develop strategies to manage those issues. Counsellors provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for individuals to discuss any social and emotional concerns they have with their family members.
Mental health adversities are common among Singaporeans too. These include anxiety, depression, addiction and more. Mental health counselling provides support during difficult times so that people don’t feel alone in facing their challenges. Through therapy sessions and conversations with counsellors, clients can learn how to identify negative thought patterns and build healthier coping skills to deal with stress better.
Social service organisations also offer various types of assistance to help Singaporeans cope with economic hardship due to job loss or other financial setbacks. They not only provide basic necessities like food rations but also essential services such as budgeting advice from experts who understand what it takes to make ends meet. Furthermore, some organisations even conduct educational workshops on topics such as debt management tips which further equip Singaporeans with effective tools needed to build resilience when faced with adversity.
In short, there are different types of resources available for Singaporeans who want guidance in overcoming adversity and building resilience - including family counselling, mental health services and social service organisations - allowing them access to comprehensive support whenever necessary
Importance Of Building Resilience In Overcoming Adversity
Adversity is an unavoidable part of life. It can take many forms and have a wide range of impacts on individuals, from financial struggles to physical or mental health issues. As Singaporeans face these obstacles, it is important for them to develop resilience in order to better cope with the challenges they may come up against. Counselling services can play a major role in helping people build this essential quality.
Counselling services are available to provide support and guidance as Singaporeans navigate adversity in their lives. They offer a safe space where individuals can explore their feelings, express themselves freely, and work towards positive solutions. Through talking therapy sessions, clients will gain greater insight into the underlying causes of their distress and be able to identify potential strategies that could help them overcome it. Moreover, counsellors can equip them with skills such as problem-solving techniques, relaxation exercises and mindfulness practices which can all contribute to improved well-being and increased personal resilience over time.
Building resilience allows us to deal with difficult situations when they arise. It helps us stay focused on our goals despite setbacks, views challenges as opportunities rather than threats, remain hopeful even during times of great difficulty and maintain healthy relationships with those around us throughout trying periods. In addition to providing counselling services that facilitate self-reflection and emotional understanding, organisations like Silver Ribbon (Singapore) also promote activities such as volunteerism which can further enhance one’s capacity for resilience building by introducing elements of social connection and purposeful accomplishment into everyday life.
Developing greater psychological strength enables us to respond constructively to stressful events instead of succumbing helplessly under pressure; creating a path forward even when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds – thus making us better equipped not only at managing current difficulties but also at preparing ourselves for future trials ahead.
Finding The Right Counselling Support In Singapore
When it comes to finding the right counselling support in Singapore, there are some important factors that should be taken into consideration. It is essential for individuals who are seeking such services to ensure that their rights and privacy policies are respected. In order to identify a reliable provider of counselling services, one can check out reviews from third-party websites or reach out to local mental health organizations for recommendations. Additionally, individuals may want to ask about the qualifications and experience of any potential counsellor before making a decision.
Moreover, it is important to make sure that any prospective counsellors have appropriate safeguards in place when providing this type of service. This includes having clear guidelines on data protection and confidentiality as well as procedures on how they will handle reports of vulnerability if needed. This helps create an environment where clients feel safe discussing sensitive topics with their counsellors without fear of judgement or exploitation.
The most important thing to remember when selecting the right counselling support in Singapore is that everyone's needs are different. Thus, it is key for individuals looking for help and guidance during difficult times to find someone who understands them and provides empowering solutions tailored specifically for them. Knowing what kind of assistance one needs and taking steps to get the best possible care can ultimately lead to greater resilience when facing adversity.
Success Stories Of Individuals Who Have Overcome Adversity And Built Resilience Through Counselling Support
Counselling support can play a vital role in helping Singaporeans overcome adversity and build resilience. It is an invaluable resource that has been used to great effect by many individuals, allowing them to successfully process difficult experiences and move forward with their lives. In this section, we will explore some of these success stories, as well as discuss the importance of finding the right counselling support for your needs.
The privacy statement associated with each individual's story must be respected at all times. This means not sharing any identifying information about the person or their situation without explicit consent from them; it also includes refraining from making judgements on their decisions or the path taken throughout their journey.
At its core, counselling support provides a safe place where individuals can express themselves freely and find acceptance within non-judgmental boundaries. With the help of qualified professionals, those who have faced adversity are able to gain insight into how they think and feel about life’s challenges, learn new strategies for dealing with stressors, develop improved communication skills and foster healthier relationships:
- Insight: Understanding one's thoughts, feelings and behaviours in response to situations encountered in daily life.
- Coping Strategies: Developing effective ways of managing emotions while adapting to changing circumstances.
- Communication Skills: Enhancing interpersonal interactions through active listening and appropriate expression of emotion.
- Relationships: Fostering meaningful connections between people in order to create positive environments which encourage growth and development.
Finding the right counselling support provider is essential when seeking assistance during challenging times; it should provide an environment where someone feels comfortable discussing personal issues without fear of judgement or criticism. By taking advantage of available resources such as online forums and community groups, individuals can increase their chances of finding a suitable professional whom they trust to provide confidential guidance tailored specifically towards meeting their unique needs - thus enabling them to confront hardship head-on and work towards building resilience over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Are The Benefits Of Counselling Support For Those Who Have Faced Adversity?
A: Counselling can be a powerful tool for those who have faced adversity. It provides an opportunity to identify and explore their experiences, gain insight into the sources of their distress and develop strategies to better cope with challenging situations. Through counselling support, Singaporeans can learn how to build resilience in the face of hardship and regain a sense of confidence and control over their lives.
Benefits of counselling include improved communication skills, enhanced self-awareness, increased understanding of one’s emotions and triggers, as well as practical problem-solving techniques that help one manage difficult times more effectively. Counsellors also provide emotional guidance during tough periods; they offer empathy and understanding so clients can feel heard and supported on their journey towards greater resilience.
By exploring underlying issues which may be contributing to a person's struggles and developing healthier coping mechanisms, counselling support enables individuals to make lasting changes in their behaviour patterns that will boost well-being in the long run. This helps them build up personal strength and increase the psychological resources needed to confront life’s difficulties head-on. Ultimately, it allows Singaporeans to take back control over their lives amidst harsh circumstances.
Q: What Strategies Can Be Used To Build Resilience In Order To Overcome Adversity?
A: Resilience is essential for overcoming adversity. It can help us cope with difficult situations and bounce back from setbacks. To build resilience, there are various strategies that can be used to help Singaporeans stay motivated in the face of challenging times.
Firstly, it’s important to focus on positive thinking and attitude adjustment when tackling life’s obstacles. Having a growth mindset – believing that challenges are opportunities for learning – helps people stay determined during tough moments instead of feeling overwhelmed by them. Practising self-care activities such as exercise, journaling or talking to supportive friends also provides an outlet for stress relief and encourages a more optimistic outlook.
The next strategy involves setting achievable goals that keep one moving forward despite any barriers one may face. This could include breaking down large tasks into smaller ones, enlisting support from a mentor or peer group, and regularly rewarding oneself for progress made along the way. Goals should not only be aimed at attaining success but also developing character qualities like perseverance and determination which further boosts resilience-building efforts in the long run.
Counselling support services provide valuable guidance throughout this process; they give individuals access to resources needed to gain clarity about their situation while providing emotional validation and tailored solutions to address issues faced in daily life. With these tools, Singaporeans can better manage their difficulties productively without compromising their well-being and develop greater strength of spirit through every hardship encountered.
Q: How Long Does It Typically Take To Overcome Adversity Through Counselling Support?
A: When it comes to overcoming adversity, counselling support can make all the difference. But how long does it typically take? Well, that depends on a variety of factors such as the type of challenge an individual is facing and their own resilience levels.
Counselling sessions are tailored to each person's needs, so no two cases look alike in terms of duration. Generally speaking, however, progress can be seen within 6-12 weeks if regular meetings with a therapist or counsellor are attended. This period may vary according to the complexity of the issue at hand. For example, more complex issues like addiction might require longer time frames for a successful resolution.
It’s also important to note that building resilience takes work and patience from both parties involved. The client must be willing to put in effort too - whether through activities recommended by their counsellor or independent personal development initiatives outside therapy - if they want to achieve lasting results and overcome their obstacles successfully over time.
TIP: Regular self-reflection is key when learning how to build emotional resilience and become better equipped to face life’s challenges head-on! Take some time out every day to check in with yourself; ask how you could have done things differently and explore ways in which you can grow from your experiences.
Q: How Much Does Counselling Support Typically Cost In Singapore?
A: Counselling support is a valuable resource for Singaporeans facing adversity and trying to build resilience. But one important factor that needs to be considered when looking into counselling services is the cost. How much does this type of support typically cost in Singapore?
The cost of counselling can vary widely depending on factors such as the counsellor's qualifications, experience level, and specialities. Generally speaking, most registered counsellors will charge an hourly rate for their services, ranging from $100-250/hour depending on their credentials and expertise. Some counsellors may also offer discounts or packages if you’re seeking longer-term assistance with your challenges. It’s always best to check what different service providers are offering before committing to any particular plan.
It’s important to remember that while paying for counselling sessions can seem like a large expense at first glance, it’s worth considering how investing in yourself now could benefit you down the line by helping you overcome adversity more quickly and build greater resilience in the long run. Investing in counselling support might just be one of the best investments you ever make!
Q: Are There Any Resources Available To Help Individuals Find The Right Counselling Support?
A: When it comes to finding the right counselling support, it's important to consider all available resources. It can be difficult to find a reliable and experienced counsellor that meets one’s specific needs. Thankfully, there are many options out there for individuals looking for help in overcoming adversity and building resilience.
First off, online resources such as directories of registered therapists and other experts in this field are great places to start when searching for suitable therapy sessions. These directories provide comprehensive information about professional counselling services in Singapore, including price estimates, qualifications and experience of individual counsellors, and reviews from previous clients.
In addition to online sources, community-based organisations may also offer some form of psychological support or advice on how best to cope with challenging situations. For instance, religious organisations might offer spiritual guidance while charities could provide financial assistance during times of need or temporary housing should an individual require it. In any case, these organisations often have links with local mental health professionals who can help guide individuals through their difficulties.
No matter what route is taken – whether seeking private therapy or heading towards a more public approach – having access to helpful information is key when finding the right kind of counselling support that suits one’s personal requirements. With the abundance of knowledge at our fingertips today, people shouldn't hesitate to reach out for the necessary aid they deserve.
Overall, counselling support can be an effective tool to help Singaporeans overcome adversity and build resilience. It helps individuals gain insight into their own emotions and reactions, identify patterns of behaviour that need to change, and develop strategies to cope with future challenges. The duration of counselling depends on the individual's needs, but it typically takes several weeks or months for positive effects to manifest. Counselling support does come with a cost in Singapore, however, there are resources available to help those who may not be able to afford it find suitable services. With proper guidance from trained professionals, Singaporeans can learn how to build resilience and manage difficult life circumstances more effectively. Ultimately, by engaging in counselling support, Singaporeans can become empowered to take control of their lives despite any adversity they may face.

Hot Springs (Lakota: mni kȟáta; "hot water") is a city in and county seat of Fall River County, South Dakota, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 3,711. In addition, neighboring Oglala Lakota County contracts the duties of Auditor, Treasurer and Register of Deeds to the Fall River County authority in Hot Springs.
Hot Springs is located at 43°26′N 103°29′W, in Fall River County at the southern edge of South Dakota's Black Hills. The Fall River runs through the city.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.61 square miles (9.35 km2), all land. Hot Springs has been assigned the ZIP code 57747 and the FIPS place code 30220.
The Sioux and Cheyenne people had long frequented the area, appreciating its warm springs. According to several accounts, including a ledger art piece by the Oglala Lakota artist Amos Bad Heart Bull, Native Americans considered the springs sacred. European settlers arrived in the second half of the 19th century. They first named the city "Minnekahta" after its Lakota name.

Julius Randle added 15 points for the Knicks, who have not made it to the conference Finals since 2000.
Miami will play either the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers for a place in the NBA Finals. The Celtics host the Sixers in Game 7 of their conference semi-final series on Sunday.
Knicks coach Thibodeau was proud of his team despite defeat.
“Congratulations to the Heat,” he said.
“They played tough in this series and hats off to them. But I’m proud of our guys. There’s always disappointment at the end of the season and in the end, there’ll be one team standing. Proud of the way this team worked all year.” AFP
MIAMI – It has been a difficult journey for the Miami Heat this National Basketball Association (NBA) season.
They had to toil in the regular season, survive the play-in tournament, and face up to the mighty Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the play-offs.
But grinding it out has been working for them, and on Friday, they punched their ticket to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals with a 96-92 home victory over the New York Knicks to win their semi-final series 4-2.
Jimmy Butler scored 24 points and Bam Adebayo added 23 to lead the Heat, who are in the conference Finals for the second straight year and the third time since 2020.
Miami are also the first eighth-seeded team to reach this stage since the 1999 Knicks.
“I like it,” Butler told broadcaster ESPN. “What we do better than anything is grind these wins out.
“We’ve been in games like this all year long. We’re prepared for it, we stay with it till the end.
“The win means we’re one step closer to our goal.”
The Heat withstood another stellar performance from Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, who scored 41 points but was harried into a crucial turnover with 16.4 seconds remaining and the Heat up by just two.
Facing elimination, New York had to come out strong and they led 31-24 after the first quarter.
Brunson scored 22 points in the first half, but the Heat had edged ahead 51-50 at the break and the Knicks never regained the lead.
Adebayo scored 17 points in the first half, his 11 points in the second quarter helping turn the tide.
He pulled down nine rebounds with two steals and a block, his dunk putting Miami up by six with 1min 5sec to play.
Kyle Lowry added 11 points with nine assists and two steals for the Heat, who made just seven three-pointers but were 23-of-25 from the free-throw line.
Lowry, like Butler, felt that victory was all down to the grit that the team had.
“It was a battle,” he said.
“A Tom Thibodeau-coached team, they’re always going to play hard. This was a grind and we found a way.”

Eastbourne Council would like to hear your views on waste collections. See their proposals below:-
Eastbourne Borough Council is considering changes to the waste and recycling service. This includes moving from weekly to fortnightly waste collections in most parts of the borough, known as ‘alternate weekly collection’.
We are carrying out a public consultation to find out how this change would affect people in Eastbourne.
Why we are proposing these changes
The aim of the changes would be to increase the amount of waste recycled in Eastbourne, save energy and help tackle climate change.
The UK government has set a target for all local authorities to achieve a recycling rate of at least 50%. Eastbourne’s recycle rate currently stands at about 35% and there is clear evidence from the experience of other local authorities that moving to alternate weekly collections increases recycling.
Currently Eastbourne is one of the few remaining local authorities in the UK which still collects waste weekly.
Under the new arrangements recycling collections would stay fortnightly and we would still offer assisted collections for anyone who need them.
How to respond
We have published an online survey for residents to share their feedback. We have also published a frequently ask questions document and advice on how to request the consultation information in different formats or languages.
Consultation closing date
The consultation will remain open until Monday 21 December at 5pm.

The global recovery is still fragile and uneven. The advanced economies are entering a self-sustaining recovery, but for the commodity-producing countries the situation has changed for the worse. In the Nordics especially Sweden is doing well.
Economic activity in the advanced economies is picking up gradually, but at the same time most Emerging Markets are recovering at a slower pace than expected at the beginning of the year. In a new economic forecast Nordea expects a 3.1 per cent increase in world economic GDP in 2015 and a 3.5 per cent increase next year.
The present decline in world trade poses a big challenge to the small open Nordic economies. However, due to strong domestic demand the Swedish economy has shifted into a higher gear.
- The Nordics follow different growth patterns, but overall we expect the Nordic region to grow by 2.0 per cent in 2015, accelerating to 2.2 per cent in 2016. Especially the Swedish economy is pulling in the right direction, says Helge J. Pedersen, Nordea’s Group Chief Economist.
In Sweden the refugee crisis provides fiscal stimulus through increased government spending. Exports have started to pick up as an effect of Euro-area growth, and Swedish GDP growth is expected to accelerate to around 3.5 per cent in 2015 and 2016.
Norway is hit hard by the slowdown in the oil services industry, which is not over yet. Consumer spending growth will help moderate the economic setback. Mainland exports are currently benefiting strongly from the krone’s weakness.
A broadly-based recovery is emerging in Denmark, driven mainly by consumer spending. In 2016, we expect the recovery to gain more momentum as also investment activity will start to pick up.
The Finnish economy is set to expand very slowly, suggesting that the country is in need of reforms. Problems relating to exports, a lack of confidence and a weak growth outlook spell difficulties for domestic demand.

You are watching: The current in a 100 watt light bulb is
Note – A light pear rated in ~ 60 watts at a voltage that 120 volts has a different filament resistance to consume 60 watts instead of 100. The filament in a 60 watt bulb has a resistance that 240 ohms as compared to 145 ohms because that a 100 watt bulb.
The above assumes that the voltage resource is constant at 120 volts. But, once the source is a sine wave, the voltage is not continuous at 120 volts. An RMS voltage sine wave source varies in between minus 170 volts and plus 170 volts. A resistive fill produces the same current flow regardless of polarity. A positive voltage produces the exact same amount strength (amount the light) as the same an adverse voltage in the situation of a irradiate bulb. Thinking a tiny further though, since the voltage is varying and the resistance of the filament in the bulb remains the same, the power consumption varies in time with the median power consumption being 100 watts.
Current flow (amperage) varies with the voltage applied across the filament. As soon as there is no voltage (at the beginning of the cycle), over there is no power consumption. Basically the pear is off. As the voltage increases to 120 volts, the strength increases accordingly to 100 watts. As the voltage go even greater (the optimal of the sine wave) that reaches a top of roughly 170 volts. Due to the fact that the resistance that the filament doesn’t adjust (145 ohms) the current at 170 volts is 1.17 amps. The resultant power consumption at that immediate is just quick of 200 watts. Therefore the irradiate bulb, rated in ~ 100 watt at 120 volts is in reality consuming power at the price of 198.5 watt at the peak of the voltage cycle!
In researching for this blog (I carry out research this things) I discovered a video that illustrates the above. The filament never ever goes entirely dark in the video because that its thermal inertia however the pulsations in brilliance room evident.
See more: John Adams Virtual Online High School : Home Page, John Adams Virtual School
The “take away” right here is that a 100 watt light bulb is rated at 100 watt only when operated in ~ its to plan voltage (direct current or RMS). Decreased voltage results in less power while greater voltage outcomes in greater power uneven the resistance the the filament is changed. A 100 watt light bulb intended for operation at 120 volts is no much longer rated at 100 watt if the voltage changes!
Note – Yes, this is exactly why “long life” irradiate bulbs the the previous were rated 100 watt at 130 volts instead of 120. Once operated in ~ 120 volts, they were dimmer – no consuming a full 100 watts. This caused a longer operating life because the peak operating power was substantially reduced.

Denise-Marie Martin's Debut Novel
Tangled Violets: A Novel of Redemption
“... an uplifting story of realistic struggle, a desperate drive for connection, and ultimately Christian redemption. ... Martin’s strength in this story comes from a refusal to shy away from life’s difficulties as Lizzie faces tough choices and desires. ... Readers eager for stories about connection and faith will find this engaging. Great for fans of Josie Riviera, Francine Rivers" — BookLife Reviews
“... a moving novel, crackling with sexual volatility and emotional intelligence. An engrossing emotional drama, both shocking and thoughtful ... a provocative subplot handled without a hint of prurient sensationalism." — Kirkus Reviews
Denise-Marie Martin’s debut novel exposes the greatest longings of the human heart: to belong and be loved. Tangled Violets is the riveting story of an adoptee’s search to find out who she is. Advanced degrees, professional success, and a string of failed marriages have done nothing to fill the void that has defined Lizzie Schmidt’s life. Armed with mostly false information, she embarks on an improbable journey of self-discovery, searching for her biological family before the days of the internet or consumer genetic testing made such reunions commonplace.
Tangled Violets is the shocking story of how far one woman is willing to go in search of love and acceptance—a journey that leads to joy, pain, lies, and absolute heartbreak. A tale of redemption and the healing power of forgiveness, this novel demonstrates that no matter what we have done or where we have been, no one is outside the mercy of God and the healing balm of his unconditional love.


Jaipur Foot Korea
A memorandum of Understanding was signed by Korean Ambassador to India and Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS) to further the research in the arena of prosthetic limbs.
About the Agreement
- Korea will provide financial and technical assistance to further research and development collaboration in the area of prosthetic limbs, bionic arms, 3-D printing-based Flat foot solution and mobility solution.
- The agreement will enable Korean med-tech students to join the various prosthetic fitment camps in various countries and participate in certificate programmes offered by Jaipur Foot.
- The agreement also opens up opportunities under overseas development assistance and grants from the Government of Korea and donations from private institutions and corporations from Korea to India.
Jaipur Foot was developed by a group of eminent orthopaedic surgeons and craftsman at the SMS Medical College Hospital, Jaipur, in 1968. The design was aimed at catering to the socio-cultural needs of handicapped people in India to suit their unique needs for a prosthetic that would permit them to squat, sit cross-legged, walk on uneven terrain, work in wet muddy fields, walk without shoes, and so on. But it has proved to be a ‘universal design’ and can interface with prosthetic technology used around the globe. Jaipur foot permits mobility in all planes.

Former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo doesn’t think the Philadelphia Eagles can handle success. How does Doug Pederson feel about that?
Just a few days ago, the Philadelphia Eagles added another hater to the list. This time it was New York Giants former head coach Ben McAdoo. Recently, McAdoo caught up with the media for the first time since being fired, and he was quite brutally honest with his opinions. Since McAdoo seems to have no hard feelings towards his old team, he remains against the Eagles.
In case you missed it, the former head coach told the New York Post that he believes the Giants can and will win the NFC East after the changes they have made this past offseason. So in the process of speaking about the Giants winning the division, he threw some individual shots towards the three other teams. “I think Philly, how much success has Philly had? I think they’re gonna have a hard time handling success.”
So what? This isn’t the first time we have heard the Eagles will be one-year wonders. In fact, other major platforms are saying the Eagles won’t even make the playoffs in 2018. While none of this has really got a reaction out of the players, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson has shared his two cents on the quotes from McAdoo.
What does Doug think?
Doug Pederson sat down with Philly Sports Talk on NBC Sports Philadelphia on Friday where he discussed McAdoo’s comments. He didn’t exactly give you a Jason Kelce WWE style promo response. But his reaction was very calm and understandable. Basically, Pederson assures the fans that McAdoo’s ‘concerns’ aren’t uncalled for, but the assumption that he made was wrong. Here are Pederson’s exact quotes, according to Eagles Wire’s Turron Davenport.
"“I think there’s a point there…complacency can set in. You can skip an OTA, you can maybe skip a workout or whatever,” Pederson explained on Friday. “But what I saw from our players was not that. Our players showed up for OTAs, they spent time getting themselves ready.”"
Sure, a Super Bowl can get to the heads of select players. But by the sound of it, this Eagles team is striving for greatness beyond one historic season. We heard countless times last year by the Eagles coaching staff and player’s that they want to be the next dynasty in the NFL. So, why would they let their foot off of the gas now?
Considering that the Eagles have lost many key player’s to injuries last season, there’s a good chance that those guys are ready to come back harder than ever. The doubt towards the Eagles only made them stronger last season. So with the hate continuously being thrown at the Eagles this offseason, they will just remain even more motivated to repeat in 2018.

Ruger Single-Six in .17 HMR Review - Shooting Times
This revolver performed well with the five brands and two bullet weights of .17 HMR ammunition I fired. Overall average accuracy for five, five-shot groups fired at 25 yards was 2.20 inches. The best-performing loading was the Browning 17-grain BPR ammo. It averaged 1.56 inches.
Taurus equipped the .17 HMR with a heavy barrel that looks great. Featuring six lands and grooves, Taurus equipped the .17 HMR with a 1:10 twist.

There are specially designed laptops that fall under the high-end range of gaming. A laptop is considered an efficient machine if it can play heavy games without lag or any hiccups in its performance. It’s not just about playing games but also about giving you a great experience while doing so with increased productivity and efficiency. Gaming laptops are more productive than other laptops in gaming.
Laptop-based gaming is becoming more and more popular nowadays, because of its portability and flexibility features. Playing games on a laptop has many perks compared to playing them on desktop PCs or even consoles such as PS4 or Xbox One. For one, it’s very portable and flexible, allowing you to bring it anywhere you like whether at home (most convenient), your friend’s place (best for LAN party), someone’s house (if they allow you), or public places where there is free WiFi. On the other hand, you want to know if having a dedicated graphics card brings any kind of benefit when compared with integrated GPUs which come with most modern CPUs (central processing units). And here we’ll try to answer that question.
What makes a Laptop Productive in Gaming?
The productivity of a laptop is measured by how well it can perform when playing games on it. Some specifications make a laptop more productive particularly in gaming, but still, what matters is the performance itself. The major factors include:
RAM or Memory – More significant than ever before since most recent generation games need at least 8GB or 16GB of memory as they require higher-resolution textures and 3D graphics rendering.
Storage Capacity – If you run out of storage during gameplay such as watching movies, playing music, and installing games then your productivity decreases drastically because you’re unable to do those activities.
Processor (CPU) Speed – Not so important as it used to be since most games now run just fine on almost every modern CPU.
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) – Important for gaming productivity as more GPU cores mean faster rendering and more advanced features such as support for DirectX 12/Vulkan API and CUDA technology.
Cooling System – The laptop should run quietly with no annoying fan noise or overheating during gameplay.
You can find some of the best gaming laptops through this website, https://www.razer.com/pc/gaming-laptops.
Why are Gaming Laptops More Productive in Gaming?
Gaming laptops adeptly handle higher-end games due to their superior hardware which is specifically composed of high-quality components such as DDR4 RAM, more dedicated graphics cards (normally one), powerful processors like Intel Core i9 CPUs, and latest generation GPUs like GTX 1070s or 1080s. It’s also important to have a very fast hard drive or SSD because games are getting larger, for example, GTA V which is more than 80GB. Laptops are not just portable but they’re comfortable enough to fit on your lap so you don’t need to have extra desk space for them at home.
A Review of the Best Gaming Laptops, The Razer Blade 17
The best gaming laptop in 2021 according is the 2020 model of the Razer Blade 17 which is again an updated version of the previous generation with two notable changes: 4K 120Hz resolution and more powerful CPU with 8th Gen Intel Core i9-11900H eight-core CPU clocked at 2.5GHz with Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz which offers even better performance than older Intel Core i7 CPUs from last year’s models. It also has an NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 3080 with 16GB of DDR6 VRAM video memory, 32GB RAM, and 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe that can be upgraded to 4TB which makes it perfectly productive in any game.
Gaming laptops are becoming more powerful thanks to advancements in technology, faster CPUs and GPUs as well as better cooling systems. But it’s not all about hardware these days since developers of AAA games are more interested in optimizing their games for multi-threaded processors as well as more graphical power instead of just maximizing the potential of a single-core CPU or basic GPU. This is why buying a laptop that is capable of playing most recent titles on high settings without any issues is more productive compared to buying an expensive desktop PC which will likely be outdated within a year including its components.

(Huge apologies to people who are not on Blogger and require an email to comment, I have a thing about giving out my email as little as possible, all sorts of extra sites start sending you rubbish. )
Anyway to get back to the subject in hand, the detail in some of the tiles is amazing, really artistic. I think that is the difference between true artists and someone like me. The true artists have vision. I am still at the stage of following step-outs faithfully. At least looking at all the other wonderful entries has now made me start to think "what else can I put in there, how can I change it", but then my mind goes blank or else I realise the thing I have thought of is like one I have seen recently. For this reason I avoid looking at entries until I have drawn my own tile, so as not to be influenced by them.
There IS an artist inside me somewhere - I'm dying for it to break out.
This (rather plain) tile is for SuzieMosh's New To Me Challenge. F is the subject this week and I chose Fengle (wonderful Fengle, who can resist it?) Florz, Ferdy and two new to me - Floatfest, and Finery.

State Department Freezes Obama’s $221 Million Gift to Palestinians
In Barack Obama’s last, remaining hours as President of the United States, he nonchalantly kicked $221 million to the Palestinian Authority—Congress had been blocking it. But when Trump’s administration moved in, they put an immediate halt on that!
[Obama with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas | circa 2013 | Photo: AP/Pablo Martinez Monsivais]
This last-minute money move (made by former Secretary of State John Kerry) is currently under State Department review. Kerry made a formal notification to Congress that State would send the money Friday morning—mere hours prior to President Donald Trump taking the oath of office.
While these fund were supposedly going toward reconstruction in Gaza and good-governance programs, Republican lawmakers were putting up a block on the money—House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) and House Appropriations Committee Member Kay Granger (R-TX). This block was a counter effort against Palestinian attempts at joining international organizations, which would enable them to launch more international campaigns against Israel—before a peace deal with Israel.
Holds like these are traditionally respected but not legally binding. At the January 24th press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer had this to say when a reporter asked him about the transfer:
“[Trump] is very concerned about how taxpayer money is spent, whether it’s sent overseas and what we get for it in terms of the relationship or our support for a democracy or aid to another country for their defenses. But he’s going to be examining all aspects of the budget… He’s going to make sure that every deal, every dollar that is spent by the government is done in a way that respects the American taxpayer.”

Unpacking the box revealed some spare parts for the Slowtra and my performance rear brake pads. These are the new Stoptech 309 compound street performance brake pads which I ordered from G Spec Performance the same place where I got my braided clutch line. Picture below of the pads and what's left of the original box for the brake pads.
The original box has been discarded to make the package Bolehland Customs friendly. Picture of the backing plate complete with noise reduction shim.
I originally wanted to get Hawk HPS but was adviced by Greg of G Spec that the Stoptech is better as he had been running these for a month and the fade resistance is much better, they stop great on the street, and still stop well when hot. Comparison data provided by G Spec:
- Stoptech 309 suitable for usage up to 1300 degrees Farenheit (704 deg Celcius) - light track, autocross, canyon runs, performance street). HPS showed significant fade at 750 degrees F (398 deg Celcius)
- Stoptech 309 has 25% more cold bite than HPS
- In an industry standard brake fade test, HPS experienced significant fade after the 3rdstop. Stoptech 309 had more bite after our 15th stop than HPS on that 3rd stop.
- Pad wear was 50% less after the test was completed, shows much better durability, especially at high temperatures
- Stoptech 309 come pre-shimmed for reduced noise, HPS do not include shims.
- Stoptech 309 pads are pre-scorched for reduced green fade and more consistent performance, HPS are not.
Best of all the Stoptech 309 Street Performance pads cost about the same as the stock Hitachi brake pads and less than the Hawk HPS. And what about Endless? While these look nice with the blue backing plate the price is really nuts especially when you consider these are only rear brake pads. Even basic Endless SNP compound pads cost significantly more than the Hawk HPS.
So is the Stoptech really that good as it is made out to be? I will report out in about a month's time when I install together with my DBA 4000 Series rear brake rotors which hopefully are in a cargo ship on its way to Malaysia by now.

Shannon’s business community have confronted the Chief Executive of Clare County Council regarding on the lack of investment in the town despite its contribution in commercial rates.
Over the last three years, close to €40m in commercial rates from businesses in the Shannon Municipal District has been paid to Clare County Council. Only West Clare (€43m) ranks ahead of the Shannon MD.
There has been widespread disappointment amongst the arts community in the town with the lack of funding and support for The Venue, a community, civic, cultural and interpretative centre. The 2,600 sq metre site has been given €15,000 by the local authority and was promised €5m in funding following a meeting with Fine Gael TD Pat Breen and former Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan.
Similarly, recent months have seen local councillors plead for a streetscape to bring heart to the town while RTÉ broadcaster, Rachael English a native of Shannon of the view that it requires a focal point.
Chief Executive of Clare County Council, Pat Dowling addressed councillors at the March meeting of the Shannon Municipal District where he announced they would be investing a greater focus in the area.
“I have been challenged by the business community of Shannon in the past that what has been collected in the area in rates should stay in the area, it doesn’t work like that, it has been thrown at me on multiple occasions that economics can be defined simply as that but it can’t”.
Dowling continued, “We have a very strong schedule of works for the Shannon Municipal District for the year ahead. We need to treat Shannon Municipal District and Shannon Town as the second largest urban base in the county. The Shannon Municipal District has to get the level of attention it deserves”.
Long serving Fianna Fáil councillor, Pat McMahon observed, “In all my years I’ve never seen a Council CEO present at a Shannon meeting, it is great to see. They are listening to us at the top”. Further praise arrived from Cllr John Crowe, “It just shows you why we are the local authority of the year, it’s well led from the top”. “He’s always welcome, we always like to have the power base near by,” Cllr PJ Ryan stated.

Scientists are increasingly convinced that human activity is behind the increase in global temperatures since the 1950s, which has boosted sea levels and the odds of extreme storms, according to a leaked draft of an upcoming U.N. report.
“It is extremely likely that human influence on climate caused more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010,” according to a summary of the draft obtained by CNN. “There is high confidence that this has warmed the ocean, melted snow and ice, raised global mean sea level and changed some climate extremes in the second half of the 20th century.”
That conclusion comes from the upcoming report of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the fifth in a series of multiyear reports seen as a benchmark on the subject. The panel’s last report, in 2007, concluded that it was 90% certain that rising temperatures were due to human activity; the new draft raises that figure to 95%.
The science of global warming is politically controversial but generally accepted as fact by most researchers, who point to heat-trapping carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels as the major cause. A May study of research papers published between 1991 and 2011 found that more than 97% of those that expressed an opinion on the cause of increasing temperatures supported that consensus.
The panel’s report is slated for release in sections, starting in September.


Ahead of the showdown at the Camp Nou, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have been held to a 1-1 draw against Everton, though that will not faze the Catalan coach or lead to any doubts in his approach and overall style.
Praising the defensive performance of the Toffees, the ex-Barcelona boss insisted that the team played well and perhaps deserved to win.
“I won’t change our style of play,” Guardiola said. “I’m not frustrated as this is the only way I want my teams to play.
“As we evolve, we are going to run into problems, but we have improved since the matches against Tottenham and Celtic.
With the Champions League match against his former side next up, Guardiola will remain true to his attacking style even at the Camp Nou.
“I believe they will be the ones that’ll have the ball,” the Catalan said. “I’ve always trained attack-minded teams and this performance won’t be any different.
“The three players they have up front are fantastic and I love the football that they play.”

After splitting in 2013, Nina Dobrev has revealed that she and her Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder are still on the best of terms and she has nothing but support for him and his new wife Nikki Reed.
“I’ve said this before, that we didn’t break up because anything bad happened or because there wasn’t love or friendship,” Nina said in an interview E News. “I love him and the friendship is still strong and I think he’s great and I care about him. And that didn’t change. Yes, we’re professional and that’s fine. We were friends long before we dated and we still are now.”
As for Ian’s recent wedding, Nina said: “When I heard about the wedding, I thought it was beautiful. They look happy and I am happy and so I don’t see why there should be a problem with that. The drama is in the media, it’s not with us. But of course, we’re on a teen drama show, everyone’s going to look for drama. If there’s no drama, there’s nothing to write about. I just ignore it.”
Nina recently wrapped up filming her final season on the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, with her final episode of the show airing on Thursday May 14th at 8 PM.

Five million dollars or ten million? Payment in dollars, British pounds or gold? In Washington, D.C., Russian envoy Eduard de Stoeckl and Secretary of State William H. Seward dickered for years about transferring Alaska.
Interruptions included the Civil War and the assassination plot that left Abraham Lincoln dead and Seward maimed with stab wounds to the face and neck. But the two men, granted the diplomatic status of plenipotentiaries by the rulers of their nations, returned again and again to the negotiations. De Stoeckl conferred with Czar Alexander’s brother, Grand Duke Konstantin. Seward employed his son as liaison to Sen. Charles Sumner, who promoted the idea in Congress.
By the spring of 1867, they were making real progress and getting down to the final details. On the night of March 29, de Stoeckl showed up on Seward’s doorstep. Hearing that the czar had accepted the latest compromise price, Seward got up from his family card game. He told his counterpart that, despite the late hour, he did not want to delay the treaty a moment longer. They agreed to roust their staffers out of bed and meet at Seward’s office at midnight to bang out and sign the final version.
Thus, at 4 a.m. on March 30, 1867, they signed the Alaska Treaty of Cession and sent it to the Senate.
Later that year, a group of merchants in New York commissioned historical painter Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze to paint a depiction of the treaty signing. Leutze may not be a household name these days, but he was a popular artist of his time. His most famous piece remains recognizable to most Americans: “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” a dramatic albeit mythical image of George Washington standing in a boat during a pivotal night of the Revolutionary War.
Leutze’s more modest “Signing of the Alaska Treaty” was gifted to Seward’s family and usually hangs in the Seward House Museum in its namesake’s former home in Auburn, NY. Two copies of it were made, one in Alaska. This year, for the sesquicentennial, the original is touring Alaska for the first time, on display in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau.
The painting, obviously more allegory than realistic depiction, portrayed Seward, de Stoeckl (dramatically gesturing at Alaska on a globe) and others present at the signing. They do, in the right light, look tired.
Conspicuously missing from the painting, the entire negotiation process, and the treaty’s subsequent ratification were any Alaskans or even people who had visited the place.
The treaty itself, originally written in both English and French, was fairly brief and straightforward. In it, Seward bestowed the name Alaska upon the former Russian America. The borders were defined; the eastern one copied from an 1825 treaty between Russia and Britain, and the western charted as a line dividing the islands linking North America and Asia, from the far Aleutian chain to the Bering Strait and north to what the treaty called “the Frozen Ocean.”
The second article specified that the transfer applied to all real estate, including vacant land. The two exceptions were “private individual property” and churches. The latter were specified as “… the property of such members of the Greek Oriental Church resident in the territory, as may choose to worship therein.”
In Article III the wording became problematic. Residents got three years to return to Russia. If they stayed, they were to become U.S. citizens with all the rights thereof. Unless, however, they were members of “uncivilized native tribes.” Such tribes were not defined, but they were to be subject to U.S. laws and regulations for tribes. Given that the U.S. was in the midst of the ugly Indian Wars on the Great Plains, the outlook for becoming subject to such laws and regulations was grim.
The fourth and fifth articles dealt with the logistics of the transfer. The gist was that the changeover was to be peaceful and completed as swiftly as feasible.
The sixth and last article of the treaty set the final price at $7,200,000, payable in gold. The extra $200,000 generated some subsequent controversy. Juneau historian Wayne Jensen said it was added to pay for telegrams and transfer fees. But it’s rumored that de Stoeckl used the money to pay strategic bribes.
The deal was done, but it would take months for word to reach Alaska.
This is the ninth in a series about Kenai Peninsula history in observance of the 150th anniversary of the US purchase of Alaska, leading up to our local history conference, April 21-22 in Soldotna.

As the general elections beckons, Nigerians and Cross Riverians have been urged to shun political apathy, go out amass and vote the candidate of their choice as their vote will count.
The call was made on regular Sunday program ‘The Dialogue With Agba Jalingo’ on Hit 95.9 FM Calabar, where the State Chairman of Conference Of Nigerian Political Parties, Pastor Sunday Michael, State Coordinator of Center for Transparency Advocacy, Mr. Darlington Edem and the Chief Executive Officer Crowdpol and Convener of the #ipledge to vote campaign, Mr. Justus Inspire Oseuno, called the electorates to exercise their franchise in the forth coming general elections which kick start on the February 16th 2019.
Justus Inspire point out the insinuations of the electorates that their votes will not count as the leading cause of apathy in an election, calling it a “Myth.”
His words, “In the case of voter apathy in Nigeria right now, people don’t want to vote. We know that it is our constitutional right but people deliberately don’t want to vote because of some certain circumstances they experienced; they think their votes do not count, why do we go out and cast out vote when we know that the outcome will not be what we predicted or the person we actually voted for will not emerge as the winner? So, because of that people tend to boycott the election saying that my vote will not count.
The case of saying my vote do not count is a myth and we are trying to demystify that myth by saying actually your vote counts.”
Darlington Edem, on his part seconded that there is so much voter apathy right now but however pleaded with the citizens not to relent on their constitutional obligation and not to leave it in the hands of politician who will mess it up.
“Generally, there is apathy in voting. Of course people do not have confidence on the electoral umpires, the general issue of violence and all of that. I think this program is very important to reawaken the consciousness of our importance; the importance of our votes. If we leave it in the hands of politicians, they will mess it up, going out to vote is important.” He maintained.
Mr. Sunday Michael on his part noted that political parties contribute less than 20% while politicians contributes more to voter apathy due to threats impose to the opposition politicians which tends to scare people away from voting.
His words, “Political parties contributes less than 20% is the candidates that contributes to the leading cause of voter apathy. In Nigeria, we feel that if you are not a violent person you will not win elections and often time candidates recruit people that will intimidate, threat and harass other candidate.”
Having enumerated some of the reasons for voter apathy, he called on the people to get involve in the process. “For us to end political violence from the board, that begins from the participation from the people. The total number of membership of political parties in the whole Nigeria is not up to 10, 000 forget when the party come out to tell you that we have twenty something million people; it is a lie. I challenge anybody to bring such register in Cross River State here, the two leading political parties and other political parties, we don’t have up to one hundred and fifty thousand million people as members. So, citizens should identify with political parties.
“We also have to bring in people that are accountable. We as a people must deliberately address these issues, we must deliberately participate in our own political development, collectively build an ossifying structure that will take our State to that particular place we want it to be. There is nothing more than that.” He argued.
The guests advocated for stiff punishment to those who will constitute nuisance to elections. They therefore call on the citizens to cast their votes wisely.

We only use the following materials for all of our initial piercing procedures:
- ASTM F-136 6al-4v Implant Grade titanium
- ASTM F-1295 Implant Grade titanium
- Solid 14kt (585) yellow/white/rose gold
- Solid 18kt (750) yellow/white/rose gold
- Borosilicate (“pyrex”) glass
The conductivity of titanium is 1.76 106 S/m. Although titanium is a much better conductor than other biological tissues such as bone and muscle (conductivities 1.70-1.72 10-1 S/m and 1.50-6.00 10-1 S/m, respectively), the overall conductivity when compared to agood conductor such as copper (conductivity 58.5 106 S/m) is low.14-16
