Interpretive Summary: North American durum wheat lines are highly resistant to stem rust, including resistance to Ug99 and related races from eastern Africa. However, durum lines selected for Ug99 resistance in Kenya, became susceptible when tested in Ethiopia, suggesting the presence of stem rust races that were virulent to stem rust resistance genes that are effective against Ug99. We found two stem rust races (JRCQC and TRTTF) that possess virulence on stem rust resistance genes Sr13 and Sr9e. This may explain why many Ug99-resistant durum lines in Kenya became susceptible in Ethiopia. The discovery of Sr9e-Sr13 virulence combination is of particular concern because these two genes constitute major components for stem rust resistance in North American durum cultivars. In addition to Sr9e and Sr13 virulence, race TRTTF is virulent to several stem rust resistance genes that are important for stem rust resistance in winter wheat cultivars in the United States. This research will help scientists to develop new strategies in identifying new sources of stem rust resistance and in developing better stem rust resistant varieties of wheat.
Technical Abstract: North American durum lines, selected for resistance to TTKSK and related races of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici in Kenya, became highly susceptible in Debre Zeit, Ethiopia, suggesting the presence of stem rust races that were virulent to the TTKSK-effective genes in durum. The objective of this study was to characterize races of P. graminis f. sp. tritici present in the Debre Zeit, Ethiopia stem rust nursery. Three races of P. graminis f. sp. tritici were identified from 34 isolates: JRCQC, TRTTF, and TTKSK. Both races JRCQC and TRTTF possess virulence on stem rust resistance genes Sr13 and Sr9e, which may explain why many TTKSK-resistant durum lines tested in Kenya became susceptible in Debre Zeit. The Sr9e-Sr13 virulence combination is of particular concern because these two genes constitute major components for stem rust resistance in North American durum cultivars. In addition to Sr9e and Sr13 virulence, race TRTTF is virulent to at least three stem rust resistance genes that are effective to race TTKSK including Sr36, SrTmp, and resistance conferred by the 1AL.1RS translocation. Race TRTTF is the first known race with virulence to the stem rust resistance carried by this rye translocation, which represents one of the few effective genes against Ug99 in winter wheat cultivars in the United States. Durum entries exhibiting resistant to moderately susceptible infection response at the Debre Zeit nursery in 2009 were evaluated for reaction to races JRCQC, TRTTF, and TTKSK at the seedling stage. Forty-seven entries were resistant to the three races evaluated at the seedling stage, whereas 26 entries exhibited a susceptible reaction. These results suggest the presence of both major and adult plant resistance genes, which would be useful in durum wheat breeding programs. A thorough survey of virulence in the P. graminis f.sp. tritici population in Ethiopia will allow characterization of the geographic distribution of the races identified in the Debre Zeit field nursery.

By On Oct 09, 2018 Coloring Pages
From here you can start to think about more advanced techniques like shading, burnishing and blending colors and begin to work with some of the tools that the coloring professionals use. Remember, these techniques take time and practice to master – don’t expect to be producing masterpieces over night, after all it took Michelangelo 4 years to finish the Sistine Chapel so give yourself at least a good couple of years of practice to produce your first coloring masterpiece!
When you are coloring, make sure you have a good light source so that you aren’t straining your eyes. During the day try and find yourself a nice spot by a window with plenty of natural light, alternatively invest in a daylight LED lamp so that you can have a decent bright light to color under day and night. Some of these lamps even have in-built magnifying glasses which will help you when coloring detailed pages, but will also put less strain on your eyes.
When you color try to avoid hunching over a table. Instead, use a large hardback book to prop your page up at an angle or if you have a study you can even treat yourself to a drawing board. Make sure you support your back in a good chair. When you have been lost in your coloring for a while, make sure that when you break to stretch out your hands you also do some simple back stretching exercises too. Place your hands behind your head, lean back and stretch your lower back.

At E3 2019, the biggest surprise for me wasn’t Gears, Halo, or even Keanu Reeves (but okay, that was a pretty big surprise). Instead, it was Minecraft Dungeons. Here’s why.
At E3 2019, Microsoft unveiled Minecraft Dungeons gameplay for the first time, showing us that it takes stronger cues from the likes of Diablo than any other similar game. The earlier teaser from a few months ago made me wonder if it was more of a Left 4 Dead-style game, but the isometric 3D action RPG combat in the latest trailer is unmistakable in all the right ways.
As good as Minecraft Dungeons looked on-screen, it felt even better. A small team at Mojang is working on the title, and even though the game is almost a year away from its launch window, the demo I played already had all the depth, polish, and addictive loot to leave me quite honestly desperate for more.
Here’s a little glimpse into Minecraft Dungeons, from our hands-on session at E3 2019, ahead of its targeted Spring 2020 launch window.

INTERVIEW: Music does not hook up with money very often these days. In fact, they’re not even dating.

REVIEW: Creating a song can be joy or toil, art or craft, pleasure or pain. What it cannot be is free from effort.

REVIEW: These Thousand Emotions — Have you ever thought about what is inside the sounds you like to hear?

Such an artist is Claire Tchaikowski.
COLUMN: Payola is a fun-sounding word that may make you remember coloring with a Crayola 64-pack when you were three, but the word essentially refers to bribery.

COLUMN: Scott G offers a warning to musicians: the world says it wants originality, creativity, boundless imagination, innovation, and new ideas, but it just isn’t so. The fact is that you can go too far. Handcrafting your own CD packaging, for example. Or covering it with wax before sending it to anyone.
COLUMN: Commercial makers are grabbing songs faster than ever before. Can’t quite remember the title of that oldie? Want to know who does that new techno funk dance groove track? Scott G is rather fond of some Web sites that help you out and let you help as well.

Natalie MacMaster is a Juno award-winning fiddler.
She is also the mother of six children and the wife of Donnell Leahy, the musical leader of the double Platinum-selling Celtic family group, Leahy.
With the daily demands of parenting and performing, finding balance in her life can be challenging.
That’s because MacMaster plays over 100 shows a year. She also home schools her children. Besides caring for her family there are also meetings, medical appointments, field trips and extracurricular activities to attend. And every summer she teaches at the Leahy Music Camp.
“There is no secret. You just keep trying. Some things work and some things don’t work and that’s just life,” says the Cape Breton-born musician, during a telephone interview from her Ontario home this past Wednesday.
While she has no nanny, she does get a break on Wednesdays and Thursdays when someone else comes in to teach. And although “the balls drop”, at different times, MacMaster wouldn’t dream of giving up either role.
“We’re delighted to be given the chance to be parents of six and to be given the chance to continue playing music. It’s just an incredible gift.”
One way that MacMaster maintains a healthy work-life balance is by incorporating her family into the show. Her children are Mary Frances, 10, Michael, nine, Clare, seven, Julia, five, Alec, four, and Sadie, two.
“We’re bringing them all with us,” says the Cape Breton native of the Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy concert set for Oct. 18 at the Homburg Theatre of Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown at 7:30 p.m.
That night, the four oldest children will perform during a special segment of the show.
“Our four year old is catching up. He has just started playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star three days ago,” says MacMaster, with a laugh.
But mainly, the show will be about the parents.
“We have a lively and spirited show that’s entertaining and exciting. I love the layering arrangements of the two fiddles and the harmonies and rhythms that are created.”
Within the different pieces, there will be solo moments where Leahy and MacMaster will showcase their different styles.
“He’s got a strong Ontario sound and I have a Cape Breton sound and sometimes when we play them together they don’t really match.”
Over the years, they’ve learned to play unison fiddle “quite well” by choosing tunes that they’ve learned the same time or writing their own pieces.
“We’re going to give it our all. And there will be stepdancing.
For me, all the times that I’ve played on P.E.I., all the different versions of me that have been there, I’ll probably be most proud (of the one) that plays next week.”

Origin and History
The frigate was built by Jacques-Luc Coulomb at Brest, starting in January 1744, and launched on December 19, 1744. She was named “Renommée” and was Armed with 26 − 8-pdrs and 4 − 4-pdrs on the quarterdeck. She had been designed by François-Guillaume Clairin-Deslauriers and her decorative embellishments had been designed by Charles-Philippe Caffieri. The frigate could reach a speed of 15 knots.
In January 1745, during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48), the frigate was commissioned under the command of Captain Guy-François de Coëtnempren de Kersaint. In February, she left first for Louisbourg, Nova Scotia via Cadiz to reconnoitre the blockade. On April 18, she was sighted off Canseau (Canso) Harbor, Nova Scotia. The ship was unable to enter Louisbourg's harbor due to ice flows offshore. The Shirley, Massachusetts and Abigail were sent in chase but “La Renommée” escaped in thick weather and darkness. On April 19, she was chased by 9 colonial cruisers, firing 115 shots at her. She managed to escape, and then engaged with Massachusetts, Fame, and Caesar off Canseau (Canso) Harbor. On April 23, she was sighted once more off Pope's Head. The Tartar (14) under Captain Fones attacked and drew “La Renommée” away from a colonial fleet of eight transports with 500 men but Tartar, chased by la Renommée, escaped to Tor Bay, Nova Scotia after 8 hours into the night.

Private equity firm KPS Capital Partners is in advanced discussions to buy Crown Holdings Inc.’s cans unit for more than $2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. The parties could announce a deal as early as this week, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. No final decision has been made and talks could still fall apart.
Crown, the world’s largest manufacturer of food cans, launched a strategic review for its cans division last year. The Philadelphia-based company has more than 200 manufacturing plants globally. Most of its revenue comes from outside the U.S.
A number of packaging deals have been announced this year as the industry reshapes itself during the pandemic and changing customer tastes. U.S.-listed Ardagh Group, which competes with Crown, announced in February it would sell its beverage can business to a special purpose acquisition company backed by financier Alec Gores.

Interfacial rheological properties of recombinant spider-silk proteins
© American Vacuum Society 2009
Received: 21 April 2009
Accepted: 19 June 2009
Freestanding protein films are interesting for many applications ranging from microencapsulation to tissue engineering. Here, the authors use interfacial rheology to characterize the adsorption kinetics and the rheology of spider-silk films formed at an oil water interface. The high surface activity of the engineered spider-silk proteins results in a fast formation of highly stable films, which can be modified by the addition of phosphate ions to the solution.

The 35-year old Australian stage and screen actor, Matthew Newton, was arrested on Friday evening on charges of resisting police and trespassing on property after a warning.
A Miami-Dade County jail official said that the actor was arrested for the mentioned claims yet he was also release from the Miami jail after a weekend arrest. The Australian actor was released on Saturday evening on a $2,000 bond.
For other people, this isn’t new anymore because Newtown had already a couple of legal troubles before and this isn’t his first time to be arrested and spend an overnight stay on jail. For those who can still remember and for those who have heard the news, the Australian actor was also sent with a restraining order from the actress Rachael Taylor in 2012. The Tranformers actress took out a restraining order against then-boyfriend Newton, accusing him of violently assaulting her while the couple were in Rome. After that incident, Matthew Newton was then dropped as host of a new Australian talent series.
If you think you heard it all, then there’s more. On 2007, Newton was also pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend Brooke Satchwell during a breakup argument that they had. Furthermore, earlier that year Newton spent 28 days in a Melbourne rehab clinic that specializes in drug and alcohol issues.
These actors and actresses really can’t help but to get themselves in trouble. They haven’t realized that drug and alcohol abuse will do them no good, not just on their career, but on their health as well.

Caitlyn Jenner reveals she underwent gender reassignment surgery in new book
Caitlyn Jenner will reveal that she has undergone gender reassignment surgery in a new memoir.
The 67-year-old reveals that she underwent the surgery in the new memoir, The Secrets of my Life, which comes out on 25 April.
She says: “I just want to have all the right parts. I am also tired of tucking the damn thing in all the time.
“The surgery was a success, and I feel not only wonderful, but liberated.”
Adding: “I am going to have an enthusiasm for life that I have not had in 39 years since the Olympics, almost two thirds of my life.”
RadarOnline.com reveals the book exerpt, in which she says she wanted to open up about the surgery in the hope that fans will stop asking intrusive questions about the process.
“You want to know, so now you know. Which is why this is the first time, and the last time, I will ever speak of it,” she writes.
She works on the memoir with Buzz Bissinger, who wrote the profile on Jenner when she came out as transgender in Vantiy Fair.
According to reports, she has been given a $4 million advance for the memoir.
Earlier this year, rumours circulated that Jenner is due to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Her own reality show, I Am Cait, was canceled be the E! network after just two seasons, when ratings fell significantly in its second year.
The move wouldn’t be a first for the Real housewives franchise, however, having had trans women in their shows before.
Model Lauren Foster appeared on Real Housewives of Miami, and actress Amiyah Scott was invited to join the Atlanta version.
It comes after she appeared to withdraw her support for President Trump.
The trans reality TV star posted a video on her Twitter page, saying: “From one Republican to another, this is a disaster.”
She then added: “You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.”
— Caitlyn Jenner (@Caitlyn_Jenner) February 24, 2017
Jenner had previously given her support to Trump, and argued he could be much better for the LGBT community than people gave him credit.
However following the decision to officially reverse Obama’s transgender bathroom protections she has changed her mind.
Jenner was previously shown reading PinkNews on her reality show, saying it shed light on her attitudes towards Ted Cruz.
Teenage reality star Jackie Evancho, who flouted a celebrity boycott to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration, has been told she’s “welcome” to a meeting with the President after she complained that he targeted her trans sister’s rights.

2tsppure maple syrup or a pinch of steviato sweeten, if desired, (see banana note)
Combine the spinach, pineapple, cucumber, lemon, 1 cup banana, and 1 1/4 cups water in a blender, along with any optional add-ins. Puree until very smooth, adding more water as needed to puree. Taste, and if you’d like it sweeter, add the extra banana.
Spinach Note: Kale or collard greens can easily be substituted for spinach, though they have a much stronger flavor than spinach. If you are new to green smoothies, start with just a cup of kale or collards, and then adjust to taste as you go. (Tracy used kale)
Banana Note: Use overripe (freckled) bananas. Not only are they more digestible, they also offer a great deal of natural sweetness. If the bananas aren’t particularly overripe, you may want to add a touch of maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie.
If using a plant-based protein powder, be sure to pick one that is gluten and/or nut-free if you have an allergy.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A preliminary report says a Raleigh man injured in a recent non-fatal police shooting was holding a fake gun with its orange safety tip removed.
The News & Observer reports that Police Chief Cassandra Deck-Brown has released the initial report into a shooting incident where an officer ordered a man to “drop his weapon” when he saw him brandishing what appeared to be a real gun at an apartment complex.
The newspaper says that when Michael Hendricks continued to point his weapon the officer fired once, striking him in the abdomen. It turned out the man was holding an Airsoft replica weapon.
Dispatchers had received a 911 call about a knife-wielding man who appeared to “having a flashback.”
The officer has been placed on administrative duty amid an investigation.

Dotcom tycoon Martha Lane Fox joked that she will wear nipple tassels after being appointed a peer today.
The Lastminute.com founder and government digital adviser, 40, will become the youngest woman in the House of Lords.
The multi-millionaire revealed on Twitter that she will take the title Baroness Lane-Fox of Soho and vowed to “shake things up”.
She told her 49,000 Twitter followers she could not wait to “get [her] robe on”.
And when a fellow user complimented her on the “cool title” she replied: “Get free cocktails and nipple tassels right?”
She told another: “Don’t think it gets me a discount in Chinatown or late night bar entry but…”
Later, the new peer stressed the reference to nipple tassels was meant as a private joke and said she was an “idiot” for making it as the honour was a “serious privilege”.
She also said that she had “screwed up” because the Soho part of her title was not supposed to be announced until she enters the House of Lords on March 26.
Parliamentary rules mean the web guru, who co-founded Lastminute.com in 1998, will have to add a hyphen to her surname.
She will be joined in the Lords by composer and broadcaster Michael Berkeley.

The 3 year anniversary of Guru’s passing
It has been just three short years since Gang Starr’s founder Guru (born Keith Elam) passed away. On April 19th, 2010 Guru lost a battle with cancer that lasted over a year. His partner in crime was DJ Premier. The Gang Starr catalog is well respected in the hip hop community, specifically Moment of Truth and Daily Operation. Guru and DJ Premier played a major role in the New York underground rap in the 90’s although both hailed from two separate cities.
Guru, a Boston native, helped pioneer that intricate New York Rap sound that became so revered. His Jazzmatazz series, spanning from 1993 to 2007, was a great compilation of Jazz infused beats laced with verses from him featuring artists like Damian Marley, Erykah Badu, Angie Stone, MC Solar, and Pharrell. It is truly one of the best collections of Jazz Rap in history.
Guru was a consummate professional on and off the mic. He held a degree from Morehouse College where after he pursued a graduate career at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. He was close to his son K.C. Elam, which he addressed in a letter to his fans close to his passing while in a hospital bed. It is unimaginable that Guru was slept on as an artist. We at The source miss him and wish he still lives in all hip hop fans memories.

Dealing With the Emotional Rollercoaster That Comes with Sobriety
How to Cope When Soothing Yourself with Alcohol is no Longer an Option
I am an introvert, I spend a lot of time in my head and yes, I do have full on conversations with myself too. Thankfully though since quitting drinking over a year ago, my mind is no longer a crazy battlefield, the conversations are no longer fraught with negative self talk, shame, regret and fighting the beer monster. The chatter is often much lighter, it’s more positive, full of possibilities, there’s still lots of questions but it’s more like a tranquil oasis compared to the volcano it once was.
Even so, the thoughts and feelings and emotions are still there and can be difficult to deal with at times. When drinking, I would get tired of this constant noise and alcohol was my only escape, I could melt away into my own world and close the curtains on life. I would sit there with my wine or beer or whatever, getting sozzled and slowly retreat into myself, away from the problems, away from the world and sadly, away from my family and my kids. I would make plans, dream about my other life and soothe myself with the fact that when I stopped drinking, all of my dreams would come true. The trouble was that the more I drank, the more I forgot who I really was and what I really wanted and then I would lose sight of it all only to wake up the next day having actually achieved nothing, so much left undone, so many broken promises, pie in the sky ideas.
Although I hated this effect that drinking was having on my creativity, my ideas and my plans, it was also the part that I was worried about the most when I thought about quitting drinking. For so long I had used alcohol to soothe me and allow me to escape and daydream. How on earth was I going to achieve this peace, this relief, this momentary mental shutdown as and when required, without it?
When I finally stopped drinking, my dreams didn’t obviously come true overnight and I was shocked to discover that I still had raging thoughts, plans, ideas, dreams and feelings. That was a surprise. Suddenly all of these emotions, feelings and thoughts were flooding my very being all the time and I didn’t know what to do with them. When you are so used to blotting everything out with alcohol…

Four World Cup Under performers Jeevan Mendis, Milinda Siriwardena, Jeffrey Vandersay and Suranga Lakmal all have been dropped from Sri Lanka’s 22 members preliminary squad for three match ODI series against touring Bangladesh starting later this month, Cricket Age reliably learns.
Sri Lanka won three, lost four matches at the World Cup, with two abandoned due to rain and were knocked out from the first round.
It turned out Sri Lanka’s worst performance in the World Cups in the last 20 years and performance of these four players, particularly, were complete disaster!
Especially Milinda Siriwardena and Jeevan Mendis, selected by outsiders not by the selection committee, proved passengers for the team, as both they failed miserably to deliver with bat or ball. Considered as allrounder, Jeevan Mendis played three World Cup matches – against South Africa, England and New Zealand – but, could not take a single wicket with his leg spin. With bat, he could manage only 19 runs in three innings, with a highest score of 18.
Milinda, another allrounder, played against mighty Australia and failed with both bat and ball (3, 0/17).
Suranga Lakmal also turned ineffective in English conditions as he could not take a single wicket in his three outings – against South Africa, Afghanistan and New Zealand.
Vandersay, meanwhile, could get only a single game – against West Indies and managed a solitary wicket.
The preliminary squad to begin practice from July 19 after the approval from Sports Ministry.
Bangladesh will become the first team to tour Sri Lanka since the deadly Easter attacks in which 258 people were killed.
The teams will play three one-day internationals on July 26, 28 and 31 at the Premadasa International Stadium in Colombo.

It has been a year since all the members of SEVENTEEN renewed their contract with Pledis Entertainment and will make their fans happy for a longer time.
But going back to 'S17', the title track of this repackage is '_WORLD', an amazing song that also has an MV. We also have 'Circles', a moving track that has made CARAT cry with happiness. We have 'Cheers', the comeback of SVT's Leader Line which has been revealed before. And 'Fallin' Flower' in its Korean version.
But what was the best thing about '_WORLD'? Here we have everything we love about this new MV that SEVENTEEN has released, we can't stop watching it, we can't stop listening to the other songs in 'Sector 17'.

Published in April 1899, Kate Chopin’s The Awakening met with a barrage of negative reviews. Chopin was typically castigated by the New Orleans Times-Democrat newspaper for “totally unjustifiable conduct”. The central character of the novel, Edna Pontellier, was vilified for infidelity and for selfishly neglecting her husband and children. Moral condemnation, with some slippage from character to author, was a common critical response. A positive review by Charles Deyo in the St Louis Post-Dispatch interpreted the …

NBA: Domantas Sabonis, Kings extend Spurs’ misery
Domantas Sabonis racked up a season-high 34 points and added 11 rebounds and De’Aaron Fox amassed 31 points and 10 assists as the visiting Sacramento Kings defeated the struggling San Antonio Spurs 119-109 on Wednesday.
The Kings led by one with less than 10 minutes to go but put away the game with a 15-5 run over a 2 1/2-minute run starting in the middle of the fourth quarter.
After struggling from beyond the arc through the first three quarters, Sacramento hit three 3-pointers over the final six minutes to win their second straight game.
The Spurs took their seventh loss in a row and fell for the 12th time in 13 games.
Sabonis logged his league-leading 39th double-double of the season. Malik Monk had 22 points for Sacramento, and Harrison Barnes scored 14.
A big night for Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox in the Kings W 💪

Malaki Branham scored 22 points for San Antonio, the best total of his rookie season. Josh Richardson had 19 points, Jakob Poeltl added 18 points and 12 rebounds, Keldon Johnson also had 18 points and Zach Collins scored 14 for the Spurs.
The Kings led for the majority of the opening quarter and held a 31-30 advantage after 12 minutes of play.
The game was tied twice early in the second quarter before Sacramento produced a 12-0 run capped by Monk’s alley-oop dunk near the halfway mark of the period. The Spurs never got closer than seven points over the rest of the half, which ended with Sacramento up 61-54.
Even worse for San Antonio were first-quarter injuries sustained by Tre Jones (left foot) and Jeremy Sochan (lower back) that kept them out for the rest of the game.
Sabonis racked up 21 points in the first half, 2.5 more than his season per-game average and his highest opening half output this season. Fox added 15 for the Kings prior to the break. Johnson and Branham had 12 points each to lead the Spurs before halftime.
The Kings have won all three of the games against San Antonio this season and five straight matchups vs. the Spurs overall.

I spent days looking at photos. And measuring with calipers. This is what I started mine on. The major thing that was surprising at the end of it, is the thickness of the mount is smaller than most think. as compared to the depth of the molex.
Heres one of my wip renderings. If you want the files to print to compare to yours you or anyone else is welcome.
I think I have another version on my design pc where I tweaked a few things. Most notibly ibelieve the rear mount has multiple depth layers either a mount under it, or a lip.
Scope molex and rings rendered for reference but not 100% accurate. Barrel is propertly sized but the angles on the breech not perfect.
I believe in the final version I also adjusted the direction of the bolts coming down out of the tube and added the wire.
I also believe the location of the molex to change occasionally as they broke off. And finally the only way to secure one propertly is to have the flatter side of the molex against the mount, and farther off the rear.

Hulk Hogan appeared at the special "Monday Night Raw" show and tweeted something very nice about his fellow colleagues on Wednesday once everything starting to sink in.
Hogan appeared with the "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart to open the 30th-anniversary show. Other WWE legends appeared at points throughout the show as well. The legendary pro wrestler tweeted a photo with Hart, Ted DiBiase, Diamond Dallas Page, Alundra Blayze and IRS.

"Motley crew been together more than 30yrs brother," Hogan tweeted.
But it was the tweet he sent afterward that went viral.
"I ran out of toilet paper brother, help!!!!!!" he wrote.
CODY RHODES WILL MAKE IN-RING RETURN AT ROYAL RUMBLE AFTER MISSING MONTHS WITH INJURY
Several pro wrestling fans saw the tweet and screenshot it before it was eventually deleted.
"RAW XXX," as it was dubbed, started the episode with some of the most iconic moments over the course of its history — from its time in 1993 starting out in the Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center in New York City to becoming one of the top episodic television shows in the world.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, made his name famous in the pro wrestling industry. He last appeared at a WWE event last April at WrestleMania 37 on both Nights 1 and 2.
Hogan was a key fixture of Raw for several years — during the time he was on World Championship Wrestling as WWE’s competition to his return to the company.

Rick Ross firmly took his place as a Miami legend, and laid the groundwork for one of the greatest dynasties in modern rap in the process, with the release of his seminal, platinum-selling, number one-charting debut album, 'Port Of Miami'.
Now, nine albums later, he’s back where it all began, and after a lengthy wait we’re finally able to listen to what he’s been putting together for album number ten: 'Port Of Miami 2'.
Dropping one day after the 13th anniversary of the original, over 15 tracks Rozay works with a whole host of talented artists, old and new, including: Gunplay, Summer Walker, Dej Loaf, Jeezy, YFN Lucci, Ball Greezy, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Denzel Curry.
His right hand MMG lieutenant Meek Mill is also featured on 'Bogus Charms' while previously released singles such as the customary hype track 'Act A Fool' featuring Wale (which is guaranteed to go off at festivals next year) and 'BIG TYME' featuring the iconic ad libs of Swizz Beatz, are not left on the cutting room floor.
It’s a well-known hip-hop fact that Drake and Rick Ross have undeniable musical chemistry having created countless hits together ('Stay Schemin’, 'Diced Pineapples', 'Aston Martin Music'), and they can add another one to their collection with their second song of the summer and early album highlight 'Gold Roses' which originally dropped as a single, too.
The late, great, Nipsey Hussle also makes a posthumous appearance on the album alongside Teyana Taylor on 'Rich Nigga Lifestyle' giving a verse that is that much more poignant after the rappers untimely passing.
'Port Of Miami 2' shows Renzel with his pen at his sharpest, his beats at their grandest and his coveted guest verse spots at their most impactful. Over a decade at the top of the rap mountain has seen the MMG icon have his ups and downs, (including his most recent low which saw him having seizures which he talks about on 'Vegas Residency').
But on what is his tenth studio album, he proves why he’s achieved such longevity in the fickle game that is rap. Tracks such as 'Turnpike Ike' showcase the four-time Grammy nominee at his very best, while his willingness to delve into topics outside of his luxurious lifestyle add a depth and gravitas to the record that make it a worthy successor to the original thirteen years on.

Heavily processed foods are often high in sugar, fat and empty calories. Consuming lots of these foods has long been linked to an increased risk of a wide variety of health problems that can lead to heart disease or an early grave, such as obesity, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, cancer and depression.

What happens when you only eat vegetables?
There will be an insufficiency or imbalance of macronutrients, as fruits and vegetables do not contain fats and proteins which are essential for the body. The low calorie intake will gradually result in a significant drop in energy levels, making daily activities hard to carry out.
Why do you feel bad when you start eating healthy?
When you eat healthier, your body will slowly give off more sustained energy over time. Because you’re not getting that immediate boost of energy, you could feel a little more tired than usual, and maybe even have a headache.

How long does it take to get processed food out of your system?
After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food. It takes about 36 hours for food to move through the entire colon.
What does eating clean do to your body?
It should: The perks of eating clean include improved cognitive function, increased energy, decreased digestive symptoms, and more.
How long does bad food stay in system?
Q: How long does food poisoning last? A: That also depends on the individual. In general, 1 to 10 days, but it can be longer in some circumstances.

Crop And Save
The Revenant (2015)
Boring and a waste of time
This is a typical revenge movie. But the director was taking out revenge against the audience. Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio gave good performances, though not Oscar worthy. Other actors played their parts, got paid and went home. This 2 1/2 hour movie contained 1 1/2 hours of material and 1 hour of nature scenery that added nothing to the story. His would have seen a fairly decent film if these extraneous scenes were cut. The music droned on and made me want to go to sleep. That being said, many people leaving the theater seemed to like the movie. Though one couple walked out at the 1 1/2 hour point not to return. I would not recommend seeing this movie unless you've seen everything else and are bored.
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Should be renamed "Fifty Shades of Boring"
I didn't read the book. Prior to seeing the movie, I only saw trailers and briefly heard about the movie from news and others. The movie was what I expected in terms of story. But the acting was lackluster from everyone. The directing was minimally acceptable. I almost fell asleep a couple of times. I think the hype was mostly because someone wanted to tell a story of the taboo S&M sexual practices. So it was supposed to be "racy, daring and different". Apparently I missed the memo on how bad it was since I saw it on opening day and the theater was about 15% full. It's sad that I'll never get this two hours and three minutes out of my life back. But there apparently will be more Grey movies as there are three books in the series. I should have spent my money and time on Kingsman".
The Sessions (2012)
It's nice to see some originality from Hollywood.
I like a good action movie, but am continually disappointed in Hollywood's lack on creativity and originality. Movies based upon true stories can provide the originality that I like. If the direction and acting is good, then I find it a great movie. This is almost one of those movies. I'm giving it a high rating because of its originality. The acting and directing were good, but not exceptional. The director could have provided more of an emotional connection with the audience. I would have liked to have known more of the main character's emotional development. Why did he feel the way he did? What provided the need to drive him? This was addressed in a very superficial way. This could have been a movie that would have emotionally stayed with the viewer for quite some time. Instead, it emotionally stayed with me until I left the doors of the theater. Good movie, don't get me wrong. But it could have been Oscar worthy. I don't think it is. It's a great date movie, if you can find it playing in your area. It does seem to have a relatively limited release.
Killing Them Softly (2012)
There are some really good actors in this movie. Unfortunately the quality of the actors were not enough to over come the tremendously horrible writing and directing. I wanted to walk out during the opening scenes. It was painful to watch and hear. It only got worse as the movie progressed. Some people think that just because something it different and not "mainstream", it's artistic and should be praised. I think I'd rather be water boarded than have to watch this movie again. The government should consider forcing detainees to watch this movie. It's legal torture. I have only seen two movies that were worse - "Gods and Generals" and "The Krays". Save yourselves. See something else. Anything else.
A difficult movie to get involved with.
This movie series is based upon the book by Ayn Rand. It is a political movie with a sci-fi, world of the future flair. What is the world like when the "rich pay their fair share" is taken to extremes? What if the most talented people begin to disappear? And who is John Gault? One problem with this movie is that you need to have seen Part 1 first. It is currently available streaming on Netflix. The second problem is that none of the actors/actresses in Part 1 are in Part 2, even though their characters are. This discontinuity is disturbing, especially since the actors in Part 1 were better. The third problem (minor I agree) is that the Foley (sound) artist seems to think that a jet sounds like a WWII propeller plane when it goes by. The fourth and biggest problem is that there is a Part 3 to the story, but no announcement that Part 3 is in production. If this movie does poorly, there may not be a Part 3 and you'd be left hanging unless you buy and read the book. It doesn't look too promising since there were three people in the theater when I saw it (including me). I was pulled into the story (both Part 1 and 2), so I didn't find it a waste of time. But I'm going to have to get the book to find out the ending. My recommendation is that unless you're a die-hard movie goer like me, pass on this movie.
The Thing (2011)
Not worth admission
I've seen the original The Thing, John Carpenter's The Thing and now this third remake of The Thing. This version offers absolutely nothing new. The alien/monster is lame. It's one of the worst aliens I've seen in movies in a long time. The art director probably thought it was cool, but I wonder what he thought when he sobered up. The movie is not scary or suspenseful. The acting is on par with a movie of this type. Not bad, but not Oscar performances either. Direction was mediocre, even for a B sci-fi movie. Save yourself some money, skip this version and rent John Carpenter's version. It's a better movie and the DVD rental cost is much less.
The Debt (2010)
Decent, but not outstanding
This movie is worth watching, but it is slow. There is a lot of bouncing back and forth between past and present day. This is to keep the viewer in the dark until the last minute. Unfortunately, there was not much surprise as the movie and the relationships involved are quite predictable. The acting was superb by all actors/actresses. This is definitely a drama and not an action film. This is not a bad thing, but the trailers do tend to make it look a little more like an action film. I suspect that there will be several Oscar nominations for this film. Mostly due to Hollywood and the subject matter of the film. I do think that some acting is worthy of Oscar nomination. The film itself is good, but not Oscar worthy. Still, I'd put money on its nomination. It's worthy of seeing.
Apollo 18 (2011)
Save your money
The most redeeming aspect of this movie was that it lasted only 1 hour and 26 minutes. It seemed like an eternity. I am not a big fan of the hand held camera style of Blair Witch Project, etc. This movie was not even that good. The plot was weak and predictable. It left you only glad it was over. There was no real acting involved and the acting that did exist was lack luster. This was no fault of the actors (all three of them), but the writer and director gave them nothing to work with. It's portrayed as real events, though we all know that it's simply fiction. Some people might actually believe it. I pity them. My group of 4 saw on (the smart one) walk out after 10 minutes. I need to see another movie just to get the memory of this one out of my brain.

A senior army officer of Pakistan has confirmed that the intelligence agency of the country and the Army of Pakistan fund the Khalistan Movement against India. The retired army official also confirmed that the ISI and the army of Pakistan smuggle ammunition, drugs and fake currency notes into the country.
The remarks came soon after the death of the absconding chief of the Khalistani Commando Force, Paramjit Singh Panjwar. The retired army official Aadil Farooq Raja took to his youtube to share his remarks. He enjoys a widespread fan following on the video streaming platform. The army chief called out the ISI for failing to protect Panjwar, better known by his new identity of Malik Sardar Singh.
The chief of the Khalistani Commando force died in “the heart of Lahore” Army Chief Raja suspects that the Indian intelligence agency, raw executed the encounter with the Khalistani leader. Meanwhile, the Sunday Guardian has started an independent inquiry into the issue. The research has revealed that the death of the Khalistani Commando Force chief may have Pakistan links.
According to the sources, Pakistan entrusted Panjwar with the responsibility of reviving Khalistani sentiments in India. However, Panjwar failed in the duty that he was charged with. Accordingly, he became expendable and lost his use. This, according to the Sunday Guardian, may have prompted his death.
Some sources have stated that the funding that the deceased Khalistani chief was receiving came from people connected to the intelligence agency of China, MSS. According to the reports, Panjwar was a critical part of the K2 project. The project was jointly handled by the ISI and MSS. It aimed to spread unrest in Kashmir and revive Khalistan in the minds of the people of Pakistan.
The army chief has also raised questions on the timing of the attack. The death of the Khalistani operative and chief comes during the India visit of the Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto. Bhutto is the son of the former prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto. He claimed that his mother informed India about the locations of all the Khalistan operatives.

I want to share with you a study that I came across that reverses the toxicity of glyphosate.
Glyphosate is a herbicide that is sprayed on our crops and when we consume this herbicide it kills off some of our healthy microbes in our gut, damages the microvilli of our intestinal tract, and disrupts the function of the liver.
What they are finding in agriculture is that dairy cows fed with a glyphosate covered, GMO feed. This has had a toxicity effect on the animals and has impacted animal production, decreasing milk production, and predispose cattle to botulism by suppressing healthy intestinal bacteria.
The researchers were trying to uncover ways to decrease toxic load of glyphosate in the cows.
They tried to use oral charcoal alone but it did not significantly change glyphosate levels. When they used oral charcoal with sauerkraut or humic acid (an ingredient of humus, the organic matter of soil) this reduced toxicity of glyphosate, increased their production of milk and improved health of animals.
So this can be potentially be used in humans, though there has not been any humans studies done on the subject matter.

Oral Application of Charcoal and Humic Acids Influence Selected Gastrointestinal Microbiota, Enzymes, Electrolytes, and Substrates in the blood of dairy cows challenged with glyphosate in GMO feeds.
