This is a quick song sketch for an #Aquaman ballad. It’s sung from Arthur’s perspective, mourning the loss of his son who was murdered by Black Manta. In the comics, Manta kidnaps Arthur Jr., forcing Aquaman to fight Aqualad for his son’s life. In the end, Aquaman is too late. Arthur Jr. dies at the hand of his enemy.
I’d love the flesh this concept out even more. I imagine that Arthur regularly doubts his decision to show mercy to Manta in the face of his cruelty. Even more, this single event changed the course of the character’s life. His marriage to Mera suffered from the murder as did his relationship with Aqualad. There is a lot to plume here for a melancholy introspective tune.
With DC’s relaunch, Aquaman’s book has made no mention of him having a son. Fans have been left to wonder how this revision will affect the character.

Long Time Coming offered a really strong mix of somber reflection and intrigue for the future.
This was another quality hour that leaves viewers just disoriented enough before the final three episodes to not entirely be sure what will happen next.
It was later announced that Jamey Sheridan , Navid Negahban , Amir Arison , and Brianna Brown had joined the series as recurring guest stars. Sheridan was cast as the Vice President of the United States , Negahban was cast as Abu Nazir, with Arison playing Prince Farid Bin Abbud and Brown playing Lynne Reed. 96 87 98 96 88 98
I m still not sure we have a clear enough picture of what this season s plot will look like, but I feel better about the season s prospects after this episode than I did after the premiere.
The regular networks are months away from announcing their schedules for next fall but Showtime has given two of their biggest shows autumn premiere dates already.
In a 7569 report, the human rights group Amnesty International found relatively high levels of popular support for torture in the . and Britain, in part due to the glorification of torture allegedly found in popular English language TV shows such as 79 and Homeland. 96 678 98
However, Greg Dixon of The New Zealand Herald criticized Homeland s thin plotting, Danes's "insane levels of overacting", and Lewis's "passivity". 96 87 98 Robert Rorke of New York Post wrote about the third season "Seldom in the history of cable TV has a series imploded as quickly as Showtime's Homeland." and "The show, in the middle of its third season, is now impossible to take seriously." 96 88 98 In 7569, Laura Durkay of The Washington Post criticized Homeland for its portrayal of Islamophobic stereotypes and called it "the most bigoted show on television. 96 89 98
After a high octane second act of Season 9, the Showtime drama took a more personal turn in the finale.
Laura Durkay of The 8697 Washington 8697 Post criticized the show for perpetuating cultural stereotypes and Islamophobia.
Like one of the truly, truly absurd Pierce Brosnan Bond films that you can acknowledge is off-the-wall bonkers, but turning it off would mean not absorbing some rich entertainment. I both loved and hated Rebel Rebel.
With Species Jump, Homeland season seven starts to feel a whole lot more cohesive. And that makes sense, as for the first time this year, Carrie and Saul s paths cross. Best of all, it seems like they might just be hunting for the same thing.
Robert Rorke of the New York Post wrote, "The first three episodes are a bit clunky, with Carrie's familiar pattern of alienating nearly everyone she meets kicking in again – and then Episode 9 comes along and Homeland finds its groove." 96 78 98 Ben Travers of IndieWire gave it a "B+" grade and praised the performances of Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin, as well as the direction by Lesli Linka Glatter for "for her beautifully staged and tensely cut action sequences". 96 79 98

Has Ritesh Sidhwani slyly hinted about Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Don 3’?Pratibha Devasenapathy | Jun 19, 2017, 17:09 IST
Recently, during an interaction with a media agency, Ritesh spoke about Don 3 saying, " We are thinking about 'Don (3)' and we are thinking very hard on it. We have found the right idea, it's being written now. We will make an official announcement soon. "
When asked if Farhan will direct the third instalment, Ritesh added, " Wait for the announcement. " Earlier this year, Farhan was also quizzed about 'Don 3', to which he said, " Soon I hope. "
Now Ritesh Sidhwani has posted a cryptic post on Instagram, hinting about Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Don 3'. He shared a picture of Shah Rukh Khan with a caption, " #15yearsofexcel the most #cool #suave #sexycriminal loved by everyone #don #franchisefilm #don3 Hmmmm #staytuned ".
Though the post is no more available on Instagram, and this has definitely made us wonder about the third instalment of 'Don 3' actually happening.
Ritesh also spoke about Excel Entertainment's future venture. He stated, " Farhan is just acting in Lucknow-Central, we are not producing the film. I have heard it, but it's (film) a good script and it's going to be really nice. We have 'Gold' and 'Fukrey 2'. "
He added, " We will start shooting for Gold by the end of the month, while Fukrey 2 is ready and it is set to release on December 8, the trailer will be out soon. "

Additionally, beetroot has been shown to reduce the oxygen cost of ATP synthesis, so increased oxygen helps to decrease the time it takes to convert ATP to energy, and then fuel is able to be more quickly supplied throughout the body, helping to slow down the fatigue rate.
Boosts the Energy : Beetroots contains Carbohydrates and it helps to give instant energy. 3. Folic Acid : Folic Acid is essential for women as it helps to develop the fertility system. Instead of taking pills, Including Beetroot in your diet is the natural way of gaining folic acid in our body.
Beets are high in fiber and promote the growth of good bacteria in your gut. Having plenty of healthy bacteria in your digestive system helps fight disease and boost your immune system. Fiber also improves digestion and reduces the risk of constipation.
Yes — beets are a good food choice, especially for people with type 2 diabetes. A 2021 study showed that participants who ate 100 g (about ⅔ cup) of raw beets daily for eight weeks showed improvements in cognitive function, glucose metabolism, and other metabolic markers.
Beetroot is said to have a hepatoprotective effect and it effectively keeps away fat from depositing in the liver. This is probably due to the presence of betaine in beetroot which is a methyl group donor in the liver transmethylation process.
EAT BEETS OFTEN
Blood pressure rises as your anxiety levels increase. It results in lightheadedness and dizziness, among other symptoms. Beets reduce blood pressure and are one of the best vegetables to eat when you feel your blood pressure increase.
”Beets are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants,” says New York City-based nutritionist Brooke Alpert, founder of Be Nutritious. “They're definitely a superfood.” Rich in antioxidants and calcium, iron, magnesium, and fiber they have a high concentration of vitamins A and C.
Beets contain nitrates, which may increase blood flow to the brain and improve cognitive function.
It is the high content of nitrate in the beetroot that is the key to better sleep. After consuming, this is converted to Nitric Oxide in the blood system. Nitric Oxide is essential for a number of physiological processes that take place in the body.
Some of the dizziness encountered when adding beets to a diet may be linked to lower blood pressure, especially during pregnancy. The combination of blood pressure that drops during pregnancy and from increased nitric oxide could cause extremely low blood pressure leading to dizziness or fatigue.
Boosts Energy and Stamina
Beetroot juice plays an important role in opening the blood vessels and also increases the flow of oxygen throughout the body which makes you feel more energetic and active. This is the reason why it is advisable to drink beetroot juice in the morning to help your sleepy organs wake up.
Beet juice can actually enhance the amount of oxygen reaching the brain and help your overall cognitive function, which can be a game-changer when battling fatigue.
A diet with lots of leafy green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats such as fish, nuts, and seeds may help lessen the effects of feeling tired!
Raw beets contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than cooked beets. Like many vegetables, the longer you cook beets (especially in water), the more of the colorful phytonutrients leach out of the food and into the water. Retain the good-for-you nutrients in beets by roasting them or sautéing them instead.
Beets are also rich in nitrates, which reduce inflammation by removing harmful compounds from your bloodstream. This combination of betalains and nitrates makes beets a great choice for people with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia.
Beetroots are rich in iron, an essential component of red blood cells. Without iron, red blood cells cannot transport oxygen around the body. People who have low iron levels can sometimes develop a condition called iron deficiency anemia. Adding sources of iron to the diet can reduce the risk of this condition.
Beets are a fantastic source of the chemical betaine anhydrous and the amino acid tryptophan, both of which are shown to improve your mood. Betaine is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body, but is also found potently in beets, spinach, seafood, and wine.
A natural source of tryptophan, beets are a building block for protein, serotonin, and the hormone melatonin.
The Beet complied a list of the top 11 foods to eat that will help you fight stress, boost productivity, and make you feel calmer and more joyful in no-time.
The beet test allows you to get a sense of whether you fall into that ideal 12-24 hour range, since you'll be able to see the bright red pigment in your stools. Fiery red poop 24 hours or more later means you've got a “slow transit time,” also known as constipation—a common result of the beet test.
Betaine. A compound found in beets and many other foods, is typically used to promote cardiovascular health. In fact, studies show it can also help break down fatty acids in the liver and may help treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

The Founders and Slavery | America's Most Pressing Concern
When you look at the public proclamations of the Founding Fathers, it is unmistakable to see and hear their pleadings for Christianity to be the foundation of the American civilization. How does this belief coincide with the existence of slavery in the early years of America? What did the Founding Fathers say and believe about slavery? Follow along as Dr. Dave Miller shows historical evidence that the majority of Founders were opposed to slavery and wanted to find means of fighting the existing slave trade.

Ernest Lawrence Thayer's classic poem "Casey at the Bat" is perhaps the greatest baseball story of all time. Period.
The only possible criticism one could make of the story is the lack of personality exhibited by the titular titan, Casey.
Casey is shown to take the game seriously, but beneath his muscular exterior he is simply a nice guy. And that is really, really, boring.
With that in mind, I humbly submit a slightly modified version of the story, featuring the most tragically misunderstood player in the history of baseball—Milton Bradley.

Newark New Jersey law enforcement arrested suspects in separate crimes: a shooting the Central Ward and an armed robbery in the Ironbound section.
The first crime occurred just after noon on January 10, 2017. The victim, a 38-year-old Newark NJ man, was walking on South 6th Street in Newark NJ when someone shot him. He was rushed to University Hospital, where doctors treated him for his injuries and then released him.
Authorities investigated the violent incident and determined that the suspect, a 23-year-old resident of East Orange NJ, may have been responsible for the shooting.
Members of the Newark Police Department Fugitive Unit located and arrested the suspect. He was subsequently charged with a number of criminal offenses, including aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
The second criminal incident occurred on January 24, 2017. Two juveniles, a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, reportedly committed a robbery in Newark’s Ironbound area.
Newark law enforcement conducted an investigation and identified the teen suspects as the possible robbers. Police later learned that the suspects might have been responsible for three other robberies in Newark, New Jersey.
For more information about these cases, read the NJ.com article, “Newark Police Mark Arrests in Separate Shooting, Robberies.”

Rocket ships and humanoids mash it all up together on this all-new retrofunk release featuring oldskool NASA animation (with a special appearance by Ham The Chimp) on top of an growling bed of vintage synth samples.
Our bigtime collection of royalty-free loops and beats from AMG totally nailed the audio assembly, and the waycool Prelinger Archive at archive.org offered up some great public-domain stock footage:
-- Highlights 1965: A Progress Report (1965) for all the great spaceship animation and vintage high-tech lab & research shots
-- Out Of This World (1964) for the 1964 Futurama at the New York World's Fair
-- Trailblazer In Space (1962?) for the b&w clip of Ham The Chimp in outer space
As usual, the song was framed out first in GarageBand (6 tracks), then clips were fit to the initial sketch on an iMovie HD file. Then of course a bunch of back-and-forth to further expand the emerging concept. This one took about 20 hours from start to finish.

Stopped here while we were looking for a place to eat on Lincoln Road. We mainly chose this restaurant for the location and that is was priced a bit better than other restaurants on Lincoln Road. The food was pretty good. I had a pasta dish with a cream sauce, which was really rich, but good. Overall the food was pretty good, and if in the area I would try again.

The recipe calls for it and bread flour; the bread flour, I do have. This is for a bread machine.
Are you channeling your best self with this comment? (If you're not sure, check out our Code of Conduct.)
I don't use a bread machine, but sure you can make this substitution. The bread may be a little different - less dense - but it should still be good.
The texture will be different, as semolina is a harder wheat and has more gluten, but is also more delicate and susceptible to overkneading. The water absorption will also change if you use all bread flour. Is there another recipe you could make?

(Aug. 23, 2013) The “Best Food on the Planet” competition is back this Sunday, bringing 15 of Ocean City’s top raw, vegan and organic dishes to My Nature, Ocean City’s premier raw-vegan restaurant.
Kathy Phillips, owner of the 13th Street eatery, began the contest three years ago to wake people to the impacts of their diet — the same goal that led her to open My Nature on the Boardwalk, in May.
Contestants’ dishes must be raw, vegan, organic and “as local as possible,” the same principles that guide the Phillips fledging restaurant. They will be judged on taste and nutrition.
“I see the devastating effects our diet is having on not only ourselves, but our planet,” Phillips said. “I wanted to create awareness.”
Phillips studied nutrition, but didn’t make the switch to a raw diet until three years ago. She leads classes on wild medicinal plants and grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm, laying the groundwork for her newest endeavor.
She said My Nature’s staff of six has just been able to keep up with growing demand this summer.
Customers “can feel comfortable in knowing that when the come in here, they can’t make a bad decision about food,” Phillips said.
The no-cook restaurant has an open kitchen where diners can watch their meals being prepared. My Nature has a salad bar and a rotating selection of dishes, like its raw pad thai with an orange twist, and a host of juices, like the carrot-kale-parsley- apple Surf Rocket medley.
The wheatgrass brought back Mary Jones from Perry Hall, who now frequents My Nature on her trips to Ocean City.
“Usually when you come down by the ocean, you see the caramel popcorn, the fries, the junk food,” Jones said. “This just made me feel good.”
Anton Simina, a medical student from Romania who spent her summer working at My Nature, sought out the eatery to learn more about preventative medicine.
“I’ve seen a lot of sick people,” the fifth-year medical student said. She plans to incorporate what she’s learned at My Nature into her practice and to bring raw food recipes home to her family.
Phillips said her goal for My Nature is to “have many more of these places on the beach next year.” She’s also brainstorming a class on raw eating for the fall.
“Ocean City used to be a place where people came to restore health, and we want to return to that,” Phillips said.
As of Wednesday, two spots were still open in the 15-person “Best Food on the Planet” competition, scheduled to begin at noon on Sunday. Contestants will be reimbursed $25 for providing their entries and must make enough food for 30 people to sample. The winner will take home $1,000.
Spots are also open in the 25-person tasting group, which allows people to sample competing dishes for $25. Call My Nature at 410-289-1808 or 410-251-1605 to register.
My Nature is open, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily until Labor Day. Visit www.mynatureocmd.com for more information.

Simplified method for concentration of mitochondrial membrane protein complexes
- Yeh, Steve T., Angelos, Mark G., Chen, Yeong-Renn
- Electrophoresis 2010 v.31 no.12 pp. 1934-1936
- electrodes, gels, membrane proteins, mitochondrial membrane, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, proteomics
- Extracting and concentrating mitochondrial protein complexes from gel strips after blue native PAGE (BN-PAGE) can be daunting tasks using the traditional methods, such as electroelution, passive diffusion and centrifugal concentration. We present a simplified gel electrophoresis method to concentrate mitochondrial protein complexes with excellent recovery rate. Mitochondrial complex I present in a long gel strip from BN-PAGE can be easily concentrated into a 0.8 cm gel strip when a second BN-PAGE is performed with a Y-shaped gel and the addition of 0.01% n-dodecyl β-D-maltoside and 0.001% SDS in the cathode buffer. Once completed, the concentrated protein complex in the gel strip is ready for SDS-PAGE or proteomic studies.

Kiera-Dawn Kolson is a campaigner for Greenpeace in the Arctic. She is also a member of the Dene Nation, which calls among its homeland some of the areas affected by the Exxon Valdez spill. The spill might have been 25 years ago, but she, her community, and the land and water they make their lives on are still dealing with it daily.
In this op-ed, Kiera-Dawn looks at the recent draft plan by the Arctic Council a group originally convened to, in part, determine a path for sustainable development in the Arctic to protect against the repeat of disasters like Exxon Valdez.
The problem is, the Arctic Council’s plan won’t prevent new disasters. It wouldn’t have even prevented Exxon Valdez. Kiera-Dawn puts it more eloquently that we can even try to:
“Despite being the first legally-binding agreement of its kind, it fails to outline any essential response equipment, methods for capping wells, or cleaning up oiled habitat and wildlife.
Instead it relies on vague statements that Arctic nations should ensure they try and take appropriate steps within available resources without even minimum requirements, leaving the door wide open for affected governments to delay and defer responsibility to execute cleanup efforts.
The bulk of the damage inflicted by the Exxon Valdez occurred in the first few days after the disaster. Experts tell us that unless containment and recovery equipment get on scene within the first three days, the oil will spread beyond any possibility of control.
Nothing in the councils agreement ensures this rapid response. And shockingly, it has no provisions to hold companies liable for the full costs and damages of a spill.
And its no wonder, when you dive a bit deeper and look at who actually wrote this document…”

THE number of CCTV surveillance cameras in Wrexham may have to be cut because of funding pressures.
Currently the council operates 123 cameras – 91 pan, tilt, zoom, 32 static – keeping a watchful eye across the county costing nearly half a million pounds annually.
The majority of the financial burden is met by the county borough council’s transport and asset management, nearly £300,000, which has caused overspends in the departments budget.
Now council chiefs want to spread the load, find additional funding streams, or the number of cameras may have to be reduced or broken ones not repaired or replaced.
There is no figure for how many CCTVs may have to go if the costs can’t be met.
One of the problems is that different council departments dispute whether cameras come under their jurisdiction and therefore if they have to put cash into the pot to fund them.
The council has canvassed North Wales Police who currently give each authority £16,666 each towards CCTV.
Although there is no extra cash available from North Wales Police Chief Superintendent Ruth Purdie has agreed to make an application for additional funding on behalf of the council to the Police ‘central fund’.
She has also agreed to allocate staff to support CCTV operations to cover illness and review video evidence
Contributions are received from external sources such as companies in the retail and industrial sector.
But with the credit crunch biting hard the council does not want to push for extra money.
In a report chief transport and asset management officer Martin Wright said: “If additional funding cannot be found from existing stakeholders then the transport and asset management department will have to consider the following options:
Review each of the existing cameras and consider removing those where the fewest incidents occur.
Not to replace cameras when they become uneconomical to repair and/or redundant unless there is a formal commitment to revenue funding.
Reduce operation hours within the CCTV control room.
Highlight as an ongoing ‘budget pressure’.”
Wrexham’s lead member for finance and asset management Alun Jenkins said CCTV coverage provided locals with a sense of reassurance.
“We have been lucky in the past in that we were able to get grants to expand the CCTV system which are not available now,” he said.
“People appreciate them, they feel confident and it gives them peace of mind for areas covered.”

This short walk is designed to give you great views and introduce you to some hidden gems of the North Somerset Coal Field, now mellowed and blended into the natural scenery. There is a need to walk up hill at the end of the walk, with no pressure to walk at speed.
From the start it’s a level walk to the open end of a ‘haha’ and weather permitting giving you fine views across to The Mendip Hills. Gently walk down hill to the bottom of The Cam Valley where the old Somersetshire Coal Canal once carried coal from the local coal mines to The Kennet and Avon Canal and onwards to destinations across the country. The basins are now considered a tranquil idyll and very popular with local walkers. Walk along the route of the canal to organic Radford Mill Farm, a camping destination. Gently climb up the hillside through an area of Open Access Land and onwards to the end of the walk where tea and cake will greet you.
The walk is a little over 3 miles, with an elevation of 102m. Finishing times are approximate.
This walk is part of the Somer Valley Walking Festival, it isn’t necessary to book.

Three species of Anthephora of derived savanna origin were introduced into the tropical rain forest environment and their adaptability to the region was determined through morphological and seed yield studies. The three species, A. ampulacea (file grass), A. nigritana and an induced autotetraploid of A. ampulaca designated as A. ampulacea (4x) maintained, to a large extent their biological description, but a more luxuriant growth was recorded compared to reports from the areas of origin. Leaf measurements (length and with), leaf and tiller numbers were greater than twice the values reported in literature at 50% heading. This implies that the species exhibit phenoplasticity. Seed production was however low in all three species and the seeds when produced were to a large extent sterile. Grasses of the genus Anthephora can therefore be used as both wet and dry season pasture in southern Nigeria. The problem of sterile seed can be overcome by breeding the species for seed production in the savanna region of the country where the grass is indigenous and seed production is not hampered, while growing it in the rain forest region purely for pasture and hay-making.
Key words: Breeding, Anthephora ampulaca 2x, A. nigritana 4x, A. ampulacea 4x, phenoplastic, pasture.

The Daybreaks have a very unusual story. They were founded on accident.
Songwriters Kaleb Jones and Heather Bond wrote songs together for TV and film. But it wasn’t until Bobbly Holland suggested producing a record that they became a group.
Holland previously recorded with Jones for his solo album, so this new project did not come as a surprise. During their recording of this new project, Holland contributed by playing and singing background vocals.
It was then that they decided to start The Daybreaks.
Before becoming a group, each member was successful separately. Bond’s producer was Grammy-Award winning Matthew Odmark off of her debut album So Long and an additional EP. Jones had many musical works under his belt and was successful on the hit series from NBC called The Sing Off. Holland was a multi-instrumentalist known for his ability to mix and produce. Combining these individual talents is what makes The Daybreaks such a powerful group.
The Daybreaks create a sound that uses pop beats to create an indie/electronic sound. Sounding similar to Alabama Shakes, Saint Motel and Wild Cub, the group features silky voices that work perfectly with Holland’s producing to master a specific sound that you would want to keep on repeat – thus creating the beautiful, electrifying sound The Daybreaks are known for.

DENVER -- If former Gov. John Hickenlooper runs for U.S. Senate, he will immediately have a large lead over current front-runners in the Democratic field, according to a new poll.
Six hundred likely Democratic primary voters in the state were polled and 61% preferred Hickenlooper, compared to 10% for Mike Johnston and 8% for Andrew Romanoff. Fifteen percent were undecided and 6% favored Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who said Friday that she isn’t running in 2020.
The poll was conducted July 25-28 by the Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group, which has a B+ pollster rating from FiveThirtyEight. The poll was conducted on behalf of a national Democratic group involved in Senate races. It has a 4% margin of error.
“Governor Hickenlooper is personally popular among likely Democratic primary voters, with 77 percent of them saying they would have a favorable reaction if he decided to enter the Senate race,” wrote Democratic pollster Geoff Garin in a memo accompanying the poll. Nine percent of those surveyed would have an unfavorable reaction to Hickenlooper’s entry.

Asparagus & Sorrel Bisque
Tips: Green garlic, aka spring, new or young garlic, is garlic that hasn't fully matured. Look for bunches with long white or purple bases, intact roots and dark green leaves. Prep like a leek and use to give both a mild garlic and an onion flavor to salads, sauces, soups and pastas.
Sorrel is a perennial plant with a distinct lemony flavor that gets increasingly bitter as the season progresses and the leaves grow. Treat the short leaves like herbs and cook the larger ones like other dark leafy greens. Look for it at spring farmers' markets or grow your own!
To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 1 day.

I am a writing nerd. I love my job of being a calligrapher and penman. My job is to use many different calligraphy alphabets as a guide for creating attractive texts and lettering, including poems, notes, letters, quotes, and stationary. I am also hired to write portions of diplomas, design certificates and event invitations, particularly wedding invitations, menus, envelopes.
I work with a number of different tools. I practice with bamboo reed pens, markers, dip pens and brushes. There are some particular pens for certain calligraphy style, for instance oblique pen holder or long tip brush.
It seems quite easy to write an alphabet but in fact it may take a lot of time to practice and get mastering my hand. Like singing or dancing or other skills, I have to practice everyday to upgrade my ability until I can write confidently perfect letters.
My gigs are all about calligraphy, obviously made 100% by hand. I do not use other softwares like Photoshop or Illustrators to even a single detail. Digital scan version is much cheaper than an original artwork since it does not bring a long the soul of the artist, and it is not "human". I will provide original for custom order, shipping to worldwide by FedEx, DHL or USPS.
Visit my gig for more information, and feel free to write me a message if you have any question:

The annual Dunedin Sleep Out raises critical funds for the Dunedin Night Shelter, which supports those who are homeless in our city.
Students and staff from the University of Otago brave a night under the stars in the middle of a Dunedin winter to raise awareness and funds for the Dunedin Night Shelter. We do this because 41,000+ people in New Zealand have no place to call home. In Dunedin homelessness is hard to spot but . Over half of New Zealand's homeless are under 25. One quarter are children.

Authorities in Clay County say it’s a miracle that there were no injuries when two semis collided on Highway 18.
According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, the accident happened at 8:45 Monday morning in the 18-hundred mile of Highway 18. 29-year-old Keith Thompson of Hartley was driving a 2006 Peterbilt eastbound. Thompson’s semi crossed the center lane due to a mechanical failure. A westbound 2000 Freightliner driven by 64-year-old Roger Wharton of Willmar, Minnesota attempted to avoid a collision, and entered the north ditch. The semi’s collided as they entered the ditch, which caused the semi driven by Wharton to tip onto its side.
Wharton’s semi received 65-thousand dollars in damage, while Thompson’s semi sustained 20-thousand dollars in damage.
Fostoria Fire/Rescue, the Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement, and the Iowa Department of Transportation assisted at the scene.

Monogrammed Alphabet Sampler. Throw Blanket - Interlocking and Mosaic Crochet Patterns and Chart
Digital file type(s): 1 PDF
This blanket pattern shows off all the individual squares found in my "Monogrammed Alphabet Squares" listing, but the pattern is written out in a single piece project (as shown in the picture).
**Your file contains the written instructions for interlocking crochet, an unmarked single-page chart (205 x 245), a multi-page chart with x's marked for mosaic crochet, and written instructions for overlay mosaic crochet.**
The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern.
Mosaic crochet is single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color's single crochet stitches to create the design. My patterns instruct you to cut your yarn at the end of each row. The back is striped but often gives a faint impression of the pattern on the front (sort of like illusion knitting).
I have YouTube tutorials available for both crochet methods! Follow this link to get to my YouTube channel and find my other social links: https://linktr.ee/LFMandMosaic
**For Interlocking Crochet, You Will Need**
- Worsted Weight Yarn (3620 yards)
- Main Color (MC) – 1760 yards plus 100 yards for optional SC border
- Accent Color (AC) – 1760 yards
- Crochet hook: 4.5 mm (US7)
- Stitch marker
- Gauge: 16 stitches x 8 rows in one color = 4” square
**For Mosaic Crochet, You Will Need**
- Worsted Weight Yarn (4420 yards)
- Main Color (MC) – 2010 yards
- Coordinating Color (CC) – 2010 yards
- Plus 400 yards for optional envelope border
- Crochet hook: 4.5 mm (US7)
- Gauge: 16 stitches x 16 rows = 4" square

Working on two at the same time! The larger one I used Big Twist yarn and a 5mm hook. The smaller one I changed the pattern a bit to make the wings more solid. I used ice yarns Picasso and Natural cotton air 3.75mm hook.
The pattern is very well written. I am halfway finished making this blanket and it will not be my last one. It’s beautiful!
Wow! Very beautiful crochet pattern. And very easy to understand instructions. Will definitely be keeping this Seller on my favorite list. Also great prices.

Our prehistoric ancestors are often portrayed as spear-wielding savages, but the earliest human societies are likely to have been founded on enlightened egalitarian principles, according to scientists.
A study has shown that in contemporary hunter-gatherer tribes, men and women tend to have equal influence on where their group lives and who they live with.
The findings challenge the idea that sexual equality is a recent invention, suggesting that it has been the norm for humans for most of our evolutionary history.
Mark Dyble, an anthropologist who led the study at University College London, said:
“There is still this wider perception that hunter-gatherers are more macho or male-dominated. We’d argue it was only with the emergence of agriculture, when people could start to accumulate resources, that inequality emerged.”
Dyble says the latest findings suggest that equality between the sexes may have been a survival advantage and played an important role in shaping human society and evolution.
“Sexual equality is one of a important suite of changes to social organisation, including things like pair-bonding, our big, social brains, and language, that distinguishes humans,” he said. “It’s an important one that hasn’t really been highlighted before.”
Dyble said that egalitarianism may even have been one of the important factors that distinguished our ancestors from our primate cousins.
“Chimpanzees live in quite aggressive, male-dominated societies with clear hierarchies,” he said.
“As a result, they just don’t see enough adults in their lifetime for technologies to be sustained.”
The findings appear to be supported by qualitative observations of the hunter-gatherer groups in the study.
The scientists collected genealogical data from two hunter-gatherer populations, one in the Congo and one in the Philippines, including kinship relations, movement between camps and residence patterns, through hundreds of interviews.
In both cases, people tend to live in groups of around 20, moving roughly every 10 days and subsisting on hunted game, fish and gathered fruit, vegetables and honey.
In the Philippines population, women are involved in hunting and honey collecting and while there is still a division of labour, overall men and women contribute a similar number of calories to the camp.
In both groups, monogamy is the norm and men are active in childcare.

Two out of three schools in the northwest and southwest regions of the country have closed. On November 24, four children and a teacher were killed in an attack on Ikundo Tete, in the southwest.
The recent closure imposed by a non-state armed group, from 15 September to 2 October, limited access to basic services including health and education.
During the period, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Reported a series of attacks in the northwest.
Eight students were kidnapped, and a girl’s fingers were cut off after she tried to go to school. Five public school principals were also kidnapped, including one who was killed at the time.
All schools and community learning spaces have been closed, except for some schools in a few metropolitan areas that are operating at less than 60 percent of capacity.
The closure and insecurity have also forced UN agencies and aid organizations to temporarily suspend aid deliveries. During that time, about 200,000 people did not have access to food.
Nine out of ten regions of the country are still affected by one of the three humanitarian crises: the northwest and southwest, the conflict in the Far North, and the refugee crisis, with people fleeing the Central African Republic.
Combined with these crises, more than one million children need urgent educational support.
To answer some of these needs, education cannot wait (ECW), which is the UN Global Fund for Education in Emergencies and Crises, works closely with UN agencies, the Norwegian Refugee Council and other civil society partners.
ECW contributes $25 million over three years and invites other donors to fill the $50 million gap.
When fully funded, the program will provide approximately 250,000 children and adolescents with access to safe and protective learning environments in the hardest-hit areas.
Just this week, the Secretary-General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, Jan Egeland, and Director of Education Can’t Wait, Yasmine Sharif, made a joint visit to the country.
Ms. Sharif said in a statement:It is among the most complex humanitarian crises in the world today. ”
“Children and youth are forced to flee their homes and schools, are threatened with violence and kidnapping, forced into early childhood marriages and are recruited into armed groups,” Ms. Sharif recalls.
Jan Egeland argued that “putting a school bag on your back shouldn’t make you a target”, but unfortunately Children in Cameroon “risk their lives every day just to come to school.”
Mr Egeland declared that “Cameroon’s massive educational emergency needs international attention, not a murderous silence from the outside world”.

we are starting to plan our trip for the end of the year and I am tossing up between 2 ships. ( The other is Celebrity Equinox )
I have cruised with both lines a number of times and have found both to be very enjoyable.
The Zuiderdam is going to the Panama Canal which is attractive to us however, I am a little concerned that it is an older ship.
We have been on the Eurodam this year and the Noordam last year. We did the Volendam about 8 years ago.
As we are coming at Christmas time our itineraries are limited.
Has anyone been on the Zuiderdam lately and how did you find it?
Is it still nice and comfortable or is it showing its age?
We usually have a balcony cabin.
Thanks for your help

For Fans Of
Swedish dark rock enthusiasts Ghost have solidified their name as a staple within the mainstream heavy metal scene. Beloved by (almost) all, the sextet has managed to seamlessly blend their campy style of poppy, theatrical melodies with crushing riffs and eerie instrumentals that transport you to a questionable realm of horror films, occult themes and quite literally a ghoulish atmosphere. Metal has never been this fun before.
The band’s latest release, their third full-length album, is exactly that, a theatrically heavy powerhouse paying homage to the early greats such as Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult, all while adding their own unique spin to it. ‘Meliora‘ is very much a return to roots and early origins. While their sophomore album, ‘Infestissumam’, was well received, it focused mainly on and provided a greater pop-oriented sound to the band. It didn’t show the heaviness that we know the Swedes are capable of as shown on their debut album, ‘Opus Eponymous’. While both albums were key in creating their sound, ‘Meliora‘ does an excellent job of blending the best of both worlds. Ghost are not trying to be heavy, nor are they trying to be pop, they are just writing aurally tempting and experimental music in a scene not so exposed to ideas that dare to stray from the norm.
The album opens with a haunting organ before leading into a crisp, evil riff that sends the record straight into classic Ghost territory, before allowing their new (but really not so new) frontman Papa Emeritus III to eerily croon above the doom inspired instrumentation. Opener ‘Spirit‘ shows that Ghost aren’t wasting any time, nor are they fucking around – this track is delightfully wicked, however it doesn’t adequately prepare listeners for the next moment. ‘From the Pinnacle to the Pit‘ is a true showcase of how dynamic dark metal can be; packed full of huge riffage, the song engages listeners with its delicately whispered chorus that screams horror film.
‘Cirice‘, the lead single, begins to remind us of the, for lack of a better word, softer side of the group. The chorus soars and proves they can still throw in a bit of pop without it sounding cheesy or unwelcome. ‘Spoksonat‘ is a brief, plucked instrumental that sets an ominous vibe, which is then vanished with ‘He Is‘, Ghost‘s idea of a ballad as Papa melodically serenades listeners, “We’re standing here by the abyss, and the world is in flames”.
The contrast between the following track ‘Mummy Dust‘ and the aforementioned ‘He Is‘ is very obvious, a very eerie vocal style is employed, very much like the earlier ‘From the Pinnacle to the Pit‘. This is easily one of the heavier songs on the album. Leading into a blues-inspired riff, ‘Majesty‘ is another classic Ghost song that shows both sides of the band in equilibrium. ‘Devil Church‘ is yet another brief instrumental, played on a church style organ, it quickly evolves from menacing, to an embracing 70’s style melody that can only be traced back to the band’s Swedish origin.
As we approach the conclusion, we are hit with an extremely Black Sabbath sounding riff, ‘Absolution‘ is easily the sludgiest song on the album, the songs chugs like no other on and showcases an impressive blues style solo. Equally, it’a worth noting that it is not the first on the album as ‘Meliora‘ has many moments for the Nameless Ghouls to boast their soloing skills. The final track on the album, ‘Deus In Absentia‘, is simply the final track that ‘Meliora‘ deserves, a haunting ballad that reminds listeners of a stage show or musical; an excellent composition that sees the band throwing all their last punches at the listener.
‘Meliora‘ is the perfect equilibrium of heaviness and melody that Ghost have been trying to achieve for the past five years. The Nameless Ghouls are in finer form than ever boasting technical skills unheard by them before. Noticeable and thumping bass lines complement beautiful piano passages. Entirely brutal riffing is met with wonderfully, unexpected solos – a welcome change from the past couple albums. The drumming is clean and crisp, while Papa Emeritus III is sounding better and better. Ghost have finally found a perfect sound that blends all their positives together.
‘Meliora’ is an interesting listen. While it is a departure from their predecessor, it definitely allows for the band to feel more comfortable in their own sound. Throughout the album you won’t find yourself saying “this reminds me of x, or this reminds me of y”, you will say, “this is a classic Ghost album”. ‘Meliora’ will prove to be a pivotal highlight in the band’s career, and is a must listen for all fans of the band.

Over 300 people gathered on Saturday, June 7, 2014 for our first annual TwinFest! Attending this joyful celebration of twins were about 120 pairs of twins and their family and friends.
The event was emceed by Shawn Dietrich, a fraternal twin who is a member of the UW Twin Registry. As a child, he and his family (which also included another pair of fraternal twins) attended the famous Twin Days Festival in Twinsberg, Ohio.
The event started with a presentation by Dr. Glen Duncan, Director of the UW Twin Registry. He discussed the importance of twin research in general, and the exciting research that we are doing at the UW, with the help of members of the UW Twin Registry.
The guest speaker was Dr. Joan Friedman, a psychotherapist who specializes in twin issues. She is the author of two books, many articles, and a blog about twins. In addition, she is an identical twin herself, and the mother of fraternal twin sons. She spoke about her new book, The Same but Different: How Twins Can Live, Love and Learn to Be Individuals.
Dr. Friedman shared some of her own experiences as an identical twin – for example, how difficult it was to be separated from her sister for the first time when they went off to different colleges. She also discussed how her own experiences growing up as a twin influenced the way she parented her own fraternal twin sons. Dr. Friedman signed her book for those who purchased it at the event. Click here if you would like to purchase a (non-signed) copy of her book.
The program ended with “Story Time.” Many twins volunteered to share their funny twin stories. The twins in the audience, who could easily relate to these stories, responded with delight!
The TwinFest Photo Booth was very popular. Photos were taken of almost all the twins who attended! Local reporters were present at the event, and features about TwinFest appeared in The Seattle Times, Seattle PI, and KPLU. KING5 TV aired a short segment about TwinFest on its Saturday night 10 PM News broadcast!
TwinFest 2014 sold out several weeks in advance. TwinFest 2015 will be held in a larger venue!

Over six lakh Indians have surrendered their citizenship in the last five years to settle in a foreign country, data by the ministry of external affairs showed. Around 40 percent of them are living in the US, The Economic Times reported.
As India does not have the provision for dual citizenship, those who become citizens of other countries have to surrender their Indian passport. However, they can also apply for an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, which would allow them to stay, work or conduct business in India.
After the US, the highest number of renunciation requests came from Indians in Australia and Canada, which amounts to about 30 percent of such requests, The Times of India reported. Some Indians also accepted the golden visa, which is given to those who invest in countries like Portugal, Malta or Cyprus in return for residence or citizenship.
In 2019, 1,44,017 Indians had given up their citizenship, the highest in the last five years. The number has been rising steadily from 2017. The year 2020 saw a sharp drop in renunciations to 85,248 which is likely owing to the pandemic lockdowns, ET reported. However, the numbers are on the rise again in the first nine months of this year at 111,287.
According to statistics by the Global Wealth Migration Review, 2 percent of India’s millionaires or 7,000 high net worth individuals (HNWIs) exited the country in 2019, The Times of India reported. The highest number of HNWI exits came from China at 16,000. India stood second, while Russia came in third with 5,500 exits.
Meanwhile, the number of Indians enquiring about investment migration programmes or the golden visa has gone up over the years, TOI quoted global citizenship and residence advisory Henley & Partners as saying.
The number of enquiries increased 30 percent year-on-year in the first six month of 2021 against 62 percent for 2020.

The Toulouse Airport is a common point of entry to southern France. A relatively busy airport, it offers a variety of and services. Travelers should also find the ground transportation options to be more than sufficient. There is also a popular attraction that is right next door. This attraction is the highly visited Toulouse Airbus Factory.
The airport in Toulouse, or the Toulouse Blagnac Airport, calls the city's northwest suburbs home. The center of Toulouse is approximately seven miles away, and due north is the smaller commune of Blagnac. Travelers can choose from a array of Toulouse Airport transportation options to get to their final destinations. Shuttle buses travel between the airport and the Toulouse city center between the hours of 5 a.m. and 3 p.m. Four different stops are made along the way, and the trip only takes about 20 minutes. As a side note, the small, nearby country of Andorra does not have its own commercial airport. Two daily coaches connect the Toulouse Airport to Andorra, however, so Andorra-bound travelers might keep this in mind.
Taking a taxi to get to Toulouse or any other regional destination is a possibility from Toulouse Blagnac Airport as well. The taxis can be found just outside of the arrival level and the ground floor level. It is usually possible to hire one at the entrances of Gate C or Gate D. Should travelers have trouble finding a taxi, they can arrange for one to pick them up at the airport's convenient call center. As for other Toulouse Airport transportation options, renting a car is a possibility that many a traveler will favor. A few North American-based brands have a presence at the Toulouse Airport, and there are at least two European companies as well.
Whether on arriving or departing flights, air travelers will find many facilities at their disposal here. The inviting La Croix du Sud lounge is a nonsmoking lounge, and it features 40 comfortable and stylish seats, computer terminals where guests can check their email, and a both French and English TV. WiFi is available, and a variety of beverages and snacks can be ordered. There is an access fee for the lounge, and its operating hours are 6:10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
A number of bars and restaurants can be found at the Toulouse Blagnac Airport, and there are several shops to check out. ATMs can be found at the airport should the funds need replenished before a shopping or dining session, and visitors can rely on two different Travelex desks when trying to exchange currency. A bank also figures among the Toulouse Airport facilities, as does a well-equipped business center, and multi-lingual staff members are in good supply throughout.

In 2016, Oculus co-founder Michael Abrash stood on-stage at Oculus Connect to talk about the future of VR. During his talk, he looked at where VR was at the time (this was around six months after the launch of the Oculus Rift CV1), and where he believed VR would be in five years, from a technical-specification perspective.
At the time, Oculus Rift featured a 1200 x 1080 per-eye resolution and an FOV of just ~90°, with a fixed depth of focus distance of 2m and a pixel density of 13.3 pixels-per-degree. The predictions for where VR would be five years later in 2021, was a per-eye resolution of 4K x 4K with an FOV of ~140°; equating to ~30 pixel density, and a variable depth of focus distance. Looking at those predictions, some of these may stand out to you, so let’s take a quick dive into all four topics. Display Resolution
Of the four tech-specs focused on here, display resolution is easily the most improved since 2016. If you use a Quest 2 or a Valve Index, then pop-on a Rift CV1 or HTC Vive, you’ll immediately notice the individual pixels, the blurry imagery and of course, the god-rays (particularly with CV1).
Quest 2 features a 1832 x 1920 pixels per-eye resolution, while Valve Index features a 1440 x 1600 per-eye res. There are some devices on the market that advertise “4K displays” such as the Pico Neo 3 with its 3664 x 1920 per-eye resolution, though these are not technically “4K x 4K” per eye, as Abrash’s infographic implied. However, let’s not forget the HP Reverb’s 2160 x 2160 display (4K x 4K) or the Pimax 8K, with a per-eye resolution of 3840 x 2160.
So, resolution-wise, we are sort-of on track with Abrash’s predictions! We do in fact have 4K displays in some of our HMD’s, even if they’re not necessarily 4K x 4K, and they’re not in the most popular or mainstream headsets. Field of View
In 2016, the Oculus Rift CV1 featured an approximate 90° field of view (which bizarrely, was smaller than the 100° FOV of the Oculus DK2 that came before. Abrash’s prediction was that by 2021, we would have around 140° field of view in our VR headsets. Firstly, it’s worth noting that FOV can vary in many headsets due to IPD adjustment, so I will be using the largest FOV possible on each headset.
Now, this is a trickier one to look at. While on a technical level, this has been achieved and surpassed thanks to Pimax 8K’s 200° field of view and StarVR’s 210°; we have to wonder, was Abrash speaking of this progression in terms of capability or active use? Pimax and StarVR have large FOV’s but with known warping issues, to the point where no mainstream headsets from Oculus (Meta), HTC or Valve have utilised them. As far as I’m concerned, FOV has not had nearly the attention it needs, and has been stagnant for far too long. The two most popular VR headsets in 2021, the Quest 2 and Valve Index, feature a 104° and 130° FOV respectively.
So yes, this is on-track from a technological perspective, but we’re not seeing this in our biggest VR products today.
Pixel Density is determined based on the display resolution divided by the field of view, so this varies from headset to headset. 2016’s Rift CV1 featured at 13.3 pixel-per-degree density. (These will all be based on horizontal pixel density). The Quest 2 features an 18.4 pixel-per-degree density, and the Valve Index sports a 13.3 pixel-per-degree density.
It’s worth noting that pixel density is hard to properly calculate and track in VR due to distortion and software-based distortion correction to suit VR, not utilising 100% of the pixels on the display panel and the display resolution being counted per eye and divided by the FOV of the entire headset, not to mention the display overlap which is quite important in headsets like Valve Index and Pimax 8K. I am simply going by the same logic and calculation that Abrash used, for comparison.
Nonetheless, based on Abrash’s own method of calculations, we have not achieved the pixel density he was hoping for.
Depth of Focus
Oculus Rift CV1 had a focal distance of 2 metres. The hope here was that by 2021, this would be variable. Unfortunately, that is simply not the case. Prototypes like Oculus Half Dome 2 have been very promising, and just this year they claimed that varifocal lenses are nearly ready for use in a commercial product, which is exciting.
But as of right now, past 2021, Quest 2 has a focal distance of 1.3m, while other headsets like Valve Index use a focal distance of 2 metres. The prediction of variable focal depth in VR by 2021 was unfortunately not to be.
Results and Thoughts
So, 5 years after Michael Abrash’s 5-Year Journey for VR was laid out, we can see that of his 4 predictions, only 2 came to pass. Resolution and Field of View have improved to the extent he believed, though those FOV improvements aren’t making it to many homes yet. However, Pixel Density (by his own calculations) and Depth of Focus have not reached the heights predicted. It’s worth noting that Abrash himself has retracted many of these predictions as the years have passed, accepting that he was at time over-ambitious and in some cases (likely resolution) may have been too underestimated.
Why this is the case, is up for debate. Resolution has been improving across industries, so it only makes sense that VR would keep up, these displays have to be sourced from somewhere! And with newer technologies such as MiniLED and MicroLED coming to VR soon, this should only evolve faster. FOV improvement will require a complete redesign of the optics used in VR, and it seems as though current HMD manufacturers have decided that approximately 100° is ‘good enough’ for now.
My personal belief is that as of around late 2017/early 2018, both Oculus (Meta) and HTC (and now Valve) decided to focus less on R&D, and focus more on turning these headsets into a marketable product for commercial sale. This is unsurprising given that at that time, PlayStation VR was far outselling Oculus Rift and HTC Vive despite it’s technological drawbacks. However, with the enormous success of Quest 2 and Valve Index, could we start to see a strong push in VR R&D again? I certainly hope so. What do you think? Let me know on Twitter, I’d love to learn more from all of you and hear your thoughts & opinions.

NHX from Wylex
Wylex has launched a brand new range of 6KA circuit protection devices. The new range includes updated miniature circuit breakers and matching RCBOs, the design centring on the incorporation of the latest high quality Siemens MCB & RCBO technology and resulting in what thje company believe is the best range of domestic circuit protection devices available on the market today.
Since its acquisition by Siemens some four years ago, Wylex has been working behind the scenes to develop these new breakers, with the project involving the construction of a new production facility and specialist machinery to cater for the high volume demand for Wylex devices.
First to market were the 10kA MCBs and matching RCBOs for the 3phase industrial circuit protection systems, followed now by the new range of 6kA domestic devices.
The range, known as NHX, includes B & C curve MCBs and B & C Curve single module 30mA RCBOs with ratings from 6A through to 50A.
These devices are suitable for use in all-new and existing NH consumer units and, from June 2010, will replace the ever popular NSB range.

IN TIME for midterm examinations, the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) issued a memorandum ordering colleges, universities, and vocational schools to allow students with delinquent accounts to take their exams.
Kabataan Representative Raymond "Mong" Palatino earlier filed House Bill 6799 to outlaw the “No permit, No exam” policy in the wake of disasters caused by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng last year.
“Last week, they attended the hearing and Ched's proposal was good – instead of a house bill, which has a long process, they would circulate a Ched memo instead,” he said.
Ched Memorandum Order (CMO) 02 series of 2010 was circulated last Friday, January 22. It directed higher education institutions (HEI) to be flexible in the implementation of the “no permit, no exam” policy, which was earlier criticized by various student groups.
The specific guidelines of the memo said that students may pass a promissory note, depending on the discretion of the school, guaranteed by the parents.
While the student may take the exam despite unsettled balance, the school has the right to withhold the clearance of a student until all balance is settled.
Dr. Emmanuel Angeles, chairman of Ched, said the memorandum is also in accordance with Republic Act 7722 otherwise known as the Higher Education Act of 1994.
“This is also in accordance with the pertinent provision of the 1987 Constitution and RA 7722 and for the purpose of ensuring the accessibility and affordability of quality higher education, and also in view of the unabated economic crisis brought about by circumstances worldwide as well as the recent calamities that the country has faced in the last year,” Angeles stated in his order.
“In view of the ongoing premises, all concerned HEI’s are hereby requested to extend all possible assistance to students with outstanding balances in tuition and other fees due to financial difficulties. They shall extend utmost flexibility in the implementation of the no permit, no exam policy they are adopting, if any, and any such policies that prohibit students from taking their periodic or final exams due to unpaid school accounts,” he added.
Representative Palatino lauded Ched for coming with a “pro-poor and pro-student” memorandum, saying it was in response to the HB 6799 or the "Anti-No-Permit, No-Exam Policy" filed by the group last September 10, 2009.
Ched officials were invited in a committee hearing of the House Committee on Higher and Technical Education (CHTE) discussing the bill last week in which they subsequently agreed to release a memorandum immediately address.
“We are very pleased that Ched decided to immediately act on this matter. This is a significant development for the best interest of our students, especially in light of high cost of tuition and other fees amidst an economic crisis,” Palatino said.
The issuance of the memo is very timely because schools are now in their midterm examination period.
“We are urging all 1,781 HEIs to comply with the memo. This would especially benefit the 88 percent of our students who are studying in private schools,” said Palatino.
He called on the students to report non-compliance of school administrations to the Ched directive. “We also extend our aid to Ched in the monitoring of reports and complaints from students regarding this matter.”
But the lawmaker clarified there are no sanctions for schools that will not be cooperating as of the moment.
He also said the memo is not encouraging students to leave their tuitions unpaid but instead just avoiding scenarios in which honors students could not take an exam just because he could not pay for it.
“It is in the student's interest to pay for his tuition because he wants to finish college,” Palatino said. (AH/Angela Casauay/Sunnex)

I tried eating overnight oats like most comments and posts I've read on vegan websites and groups recommend, but I found that it didn't make me feel as full as I would with a rice breakfast.
I've always been a breakfast person, and I noticed that I what I eat in the morning tends to influence my appetite the whole day. So I've learned that if I've eaten well during breakfast, that's an indicator for me that my day is going to be great. So for me, that means eating rice and veggies with protein.
Hope this helps.
Cilantro (cut small)
And fresh garlic
Salt and water ! It will make you feel really good along with a lot of fruit only of one kind and maybe get some rice cookies with chia seeds.
This morning I was in a rush so I just grabbed a banana and I feel better for it, you can also have apple slices with peanut butter and seeds (my friend does this)
Also avocado on toast is a good one!
- Any simple breakfast recipes with complex carbs, protein, and only 3-5 ingredients?
- What if you really don’t like food in the morning?
- What do you usually drink in the morning for breakfast?
- What is your favorite breakfast for weekdays?
- Do you make your breakfast in the morning or the night before?
- What do you eat when you’ve got work at six in the morning?
- What’s a good breakfast on days I want to head out a run?
- What is the first drink you go for when you head to the kitchen?
- What do you eat when you’re not hungry in the morning?
- Fruit, protein, or carbs. Which way do you go?
