Letsrecycle reported on the launch by the EC of the 12-week public consultation on “the main policy options which […] will feed into the development” of an “ambitious new approach” to the circular economy. The EC revealed in January that it would ditch its circular economy package despite objections from the EU parliament and environment ministers; with sources stating that “the final decision has been taken and nothing could be foreseen that would change the executive’s mind at this stage”.
However, earlier this month the Commission “promis[ed] a better and even more environmentally-friendly alternative proposal”, to come later this year, aiming to deliver “a clear and ambitious political vision combined with effective policy tools [to] drive real change”. The new roadmap document was said by the EC to have a “broader and more ambitious approach” than the first, but Resource noted it “does not outline specific details of how the revised package will work”.
The consultation will see stakeholder views “put towards the preparation of a revised proposal on the waste review” as well as a “new action plan for a ‘competitive’ circular economy”, expected before the end of the year. Policy options will study waste policy, product lifecycles, intelligent product design, reuse and repair, recycling, sustainable consumption, recycling levels and “smart use of raw materials”. A “broad spectrum” of options will be looked at to identify “areas for priority action”.
The consultation will take place until 20 August 2015 and the public, authorities, businesses and “governmental and non-governmental parties” will contribute, alongside a stakeholder conference in Brussels on 25 June. The new proposals being drawn up are being led by Commission Vice Presidents Frans Timmermans and Jyrki Katainen alongside Environment Commissioner Karmenu Vella and Commissioner El?bieta Bie?kowska, responsible for industry and small businesses.
Timmermans stated: “Europe’s future economic development must be part of a sustainable development. There is no alternative to using our resources more intelligently, designing our products with a view to their re-use and recycling, and setting ambitious targets for waste reduction and recycling.
“Today we are asking people across Europe for their input on how to design our policies in a way that stimulates a competitive green economy in Europe and protects the environment for future generations.”
Katainen added: “Moving towards a more sustainable circular economy can create win-win solutions and provide Europe with a new competitive advantage. We want to put forward a comprehensive action plan with incentives for both consumers and businesses to use resources more efficiently. For this we need input from stakeholders in all parts of the value chains.”
Oakdene Hollins, which operates the Centre for Remanufacturing and Reuse and is leading the EC’s European Remanufacturing Network, discussed the policies and changes it would like the EU to consider, as did industry association ETIRA, which revealed that it is “doing informal lobbying to promote reuse” with the commission. The association argues that “reuse should receive a higher priority than it has today” and that existing “eco-friendly policies are often merely a piece of paper: they fail to deliver a tangible increase in the reuse of products”.

Today we discovered Colorado’s first case of the COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7, the same variant discovered in the UK. The health and safety of Coloradans is our top priority and we will monitor this case, as well as all COVID-19 indicators, very closely.
BREAKING: The first U.S. case of the U.K. COVID-19 variant has been detected in Colorado, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced in a tweet.
Colorado officials on Tuesday reported the first known case in the United States of a person infected with the mutation-laden coronavirus variant that has been circulating rapidly across much of the United Kingdom and has led to a lockdown of much of southern England.
The case involves a male in his 20s who is currently in isolation in Elbert County and has no travel history, according to a tweet from the office of Gov. Jared Polis.
While the variant appears to spread more easily, it does not make people sicker or more likely to die, scientists in the United Kingdom reported Tuesday. Nor is there any sign that people who were infected months ago with the coronavirus are more likely to be reinfected if exposed to the variant, according to the report, from Public Health England, a government agency.
Scientists also believe these mutations will not allow the virus to escape the immune response incited by vaccines. But it does appear to be more transmissible.

Welcome to August…
One of the most frequent questions that I get asked, as editor of Olive, is what’s been your favourite meal? It’s such a hard one to answer, because of course it depends on your mood, the company, the location – all manner of factors.
But one meal that sticks in my mind is a rich hare ragu entangled in folds of buttery pappardelle, tucked down a cobbled side street of Rome, as I hid in the shade.
It was so simple, really- just beautiful ingredients cooked for as long as they take with minimal intervention. And it’s this approach, I’m sure that is why Italian cuisine continues to be one of our nation’s favourites. It’s quick and east but packed with flavour – ingredients are king. And it seems we’re buying into this ideology more than ever with a new trend we’ve noticed. There’s been something of an Italian renaissance. With fresh pasta bars and pizzerias popping up alongside modern Italian restaurants focussing on regional, authentic dishes and fresh flavours, carbs are finally cool again! Britalian no longer means spag bol and claggy carbonaras but light and pretty salads like the one on our front cover, impressive puddings like our caffe latte panna cotta with espresso syrup, and indulgent t-bone steak with gorgonzola fonduta and deep-fried polenta nuggets as shared by the clever chefs at Trullo, in London.
We’re celebrating with a tribute issue to contemporary Italian food, drink and travel – with a guide to the best Italian wines, the top Italian restaurants to visit in your area, and where to jump on a plane to.
There’s plenty more in between, as well, which I’ll let you discover for yourself. And I do hope that one of the recipes from this issue may become one of your favourite meals, too.

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, have recently altered the idea of digital ownership. To produce distinctive digital assets that indicate ownership of virtual goods like artwork, collectibles, and in-game items, NFTs use blockchain technology. This has opened up a whole new market for creativity and digital scarcity, giving artists and content producers a new way to make money off of their creations.
We will discuss NFTs and what sets them apart from other digital files in this blog post. We will also talk about the various forms and difficulties that come with the idea of NFTs. We will also examine how to create NFT art without coding. But first, let’s start by explaining what an NFT is.
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a piece of data that is used to identify distinct digital assets that are not exchangeable. It is updated using an electronic ledger called a blockchain. NFTs can be used to represent various digital media types, such as video and music. They might also represent actual objects, such as works of art or real land. Because no two NFTs are alike and cannot be utilized interchangeably, each one creates digital scarcity and, with it, value.
Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are fungible (interchangeable) tokens meant to be exchanged, NFTs are intended to be collected and owned. Several factors, including novelty, market demand, and connection to the real world, affect an NFT’s value.
NFTs use blockchain technology to assign ownership rights and maintain a secure public record of transactions. Content creators can bypass traditional gatekeepers by allowing them to sell their items directly to consumers.
Several types of Non-fungible tokens are created with a specific purpose in mind. Some of them are:
Now, let’s start exploring how to create NFT art and list them for sale.
NFT artists present themselves as well-known and charge fair prices for their works of art on the NFT market. Read on to find out how to create NFT digital art and list them on reputable NFT art marketplace development.
Just like with any other work of art, there are various steps involved in creating NFT art. Nonetheless, there is a crucial gap between the two: digital art is a part of a worldwide market where variations and distinctions matter.
The first thing to do, then, is to study the market and gather information before you begin to develop. There are countless sets of non-fungible tokens available. Look for an area that has yet to be exploited.
Now that you have located a location that is open in the NFT market, it is time to decide on some design elements and display them. You have to decide on what type of NFT you want to create.
You will have to choose the theme, the style of the digital asset, the vibrancy of the colours, the lines, the streaks, and much more as a graphic designer and NFT developer. Naturally, the tone of your non-fungible token is crucial because it indicates who it is intended for.
Here are a few instances of NFT characteristics or traits:
It’s time to move to the next step.
It’s time to get to work on the images and start creating NFT art. Obviously, this is a lengthy procedure because the majority of the output is essays and sketches, or perhaps not the result you were hoping for.
Three distinct perspectives are available to discuss the process of producing the images:
Every choice has benefits and drawbacks. For example, the graphics will be closer to your vision and more realistic when you make the art yourself. They will most likely also bear your stamp and be more uniquely tailored. Software like MS Paint, Photoshop, Illustrator, or Corel Draw can be used. You can also reach out to blockchain enterprises like Debut Infotech.
Most popular NFT collections usually feature several items that can range from 100 to about 10,000 units. Numerous art collections may be found in the NFT market, and each one contains a sizable quantity of non-fungible tokens.
You have most likely created thousands of images at this point in the process. However, you have to pick the ones that will sell well as NFT art and do the best job of portraying your views.
Verify that each piece of NFT art you’ve created, whether by hand or in collaboration with the hired artist, displays your ability and creativity. Recall that NFT stands for non-fungible tokens; hence, each image needs to be a distinct unit.
Coding is not necessary to create these digital products when using a no-code NFT generator. OneMint, Appypie, and NFT Art Generator are a few of the most well-known NFT-generating platforms.
Generally speaking, the procedure to create NFT art is simple.
Now to the next step.
This is the most critical stage if you plan to list your NFT in a token sale or an NFT marketplace to make money. To “mint” is to turn your photos into actual NFTs and make them publicly accessible. You can choose a blockchain of your choice to list your NFTs on. the most popular is Ethereum. The Ethereum Blockchain technology allows users to buy and sell NFTs. In this phase, you also decide on the NFT mint prices based on the rarity and quality of the NFT characteristics.
Locating a reliable NFT marketplace to mint your collection is the next step. Authorized artists can mint their works of art on dozens, if not hundreds, of NFT marketplaces. These carefully chosen platforms offer both excellent prices and security. Some of the biggest NFT marketplaces for artists are Opensea, Superrare, and Rarible.
The following are some of the elements you should take into account while choosing the best NFT marketplace for artists to launch a successful business:
The market’s credibility;
the blockchain technology it employs;
the caliber of the artwork available there;
its widespread appeal.
Always look out for high-quality collections. Determining the precise location to display non-fungible tokens is another aspect of creating them. The most excellent part about the alternatives we’ve listed above is that you can spend your money on anything other than auction houses or art galleries.
You need to create a digital wallet before you can choose which marketplace to utilize. You can store cryptocurrency and NFTs in this wallet.
It’s time to market your collection through various means. Using a variety of mediums to promote your project will improve its chances of being noticed. Four things to think about are influencer marketing, social media, online advertisements, and word-of-mouth marketing.
In essence, you get rid of intermediaries, giving you more control over every aspect that affects the project’s success. The key is to rank your NFT collection in the appropriate marketplace over the majority of existing projects. Gaining as much exposure as you could for your non-fungible tokens would be beneficial. Draw in prospective customers with effective marketing, NFT tools, deals, and more!
An effective tactic would be to create animated graphics that feature multiple pieces of art from your collection. To showcase your best artwork and to promote your NFT, you can even make a video. Make sure there is fantastic music in the video!

NFTs present an attractive commercial potential for creators and developers because of the growing market demand for them. The level of inventiveness exhibited by the artists, their rarity, and the public’s reaction all influence the price of NFTs.
We have shown you how to create an NFT art, and the fundamental actions you need to market NFTs as effectively as possible were covered in this article. You’ll develop your cryptocurrency space and complete several transactions very soon. Of course, it can take a while, but eventually, you will be able to sell your artwork and get paid through your preferred choice with the help of Debut InfoTech.
Although it’s a long shot, you can realize your dream of creating NFTs with our assistance. While you wait, check through a few more of our articles to acquaint yourself with more information. This page contains information on minting NFTs, creating them with ease, storing them, and related ideas. Debut Infotech, a leading NFT Marketplace development company can assist you in creating an NFT collection that will rightly portray your thoughts, and you can list them on the best NFT marketplace for artists.
You need to know the fundamentals of minting, blockchain, cryptocurrency wallets, marketplaces, and gas fees to create NFTs.
In general, fostering an NFT can take a few minutes to several hours. The user must upload their artwork, configure the metadata, and then wait for the platform to mint the token after processing it.
PNG is the best picture format for artistic purposes. PNG files can be seen in any browser and are of higher quality than JPEG files.
While creating NFT art itself may not incur costs, minting and listing on NFT marketplaces usually involve fees. These fees can vary depending on the platform and blockchain used. Additionally, gas fees associated with blockchain transactions may apply. It’s essential to be aware of these costs and choose platforms that align with your budget and preferences.
Absolutely. NFT marketplaces are designed to be user-friendly, allowing artists to sell their creations without an in-depth understanding of blockchain or cryptocurrency. However, having a basic understanding of digital wallets, blockchain transactions, and associated fees can be beneficial. Many platforms offer resources and support to help users navigate the process seamlessly.

Getting ready for the Oscars race! Reese Witherspoon hits the streets in casual fitness gear for morning jog
She missed out on the Best Actress prize for her performance in Wild at the BAFTAs on Sunday night.
But it business as usual for Reese Witherspoon after returning home to Santa Monica, California, as she pounded the pavements during her morning jog on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old star - who is now pinning all her hopes on the Oscars later this month - had a determined look on her face as she raced along in her casual workout gear.
Scroll down for video
Working up a sweat: Reese Witherspoon hit the ground running on Wednesday morning in Santa Monica, California
Reese donned a pair of three-quarter length exercise trousers and two layered vest tops.
She kept a low profile with a green baseball cap covering her face and her hair pulled into a ponytail.
The Legally Blonde star went make-up free as she ran along the street, before heading back home in her car.
Keeping fit: The actress is a regular around her neighbourhood and always makes time to exercise
Nervous wait: Reese is nominated in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role category at the 87th annual Academy Awards, which will take place on February 22
Reese is no doubt counting down the days until the Oscars on February 22, where she will face off against Felicity Jones (The Theory Of Everything), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night) and the unbeatable Julianne Moore (Still Alice).
Julianne so far taken all the Best Actress gongs at the major awards ceremonies, so Reese will have a tough fight on her hands.
The mother-of-three - who has children Ava, 15, and Deacon, 11, with her ex-spouse Ryan Phillippe and two-year-old Tennessee with her husband Jim Toth - will be hoping to add to her trophy cabinet, which already includes a Best Actress Oscar for 2005's Walk The Line.
Tough contest: Reese's biggest competition will no doubt be Julianne Moore, who has been sweeping awards season thanks to her performance in Still Alice
Reese recently joked that her mother was more interested in her rubbing shoulders with the royals at a pre-BAFTA party held at Kensington Palace in London than the actual awards ceremony.
'My mother kept texting me, "Did you meet the Queen? Was Kate there?"
'"No, Mom, I don't think they're coming to the BAFTA pre-party",' she joked to the BBC.
In good company: The Wild actress will also compete against Felicity Jones (The Theory Of Everything), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night)

Omar Gaber: We need to get three points against Congo
Gaber, who has been getting a lot of playtime with the RotBlau, often playing in the left-back position, is one of the nine players abroad who were called up by Egypt national team manager Hector Cuper.
In an interview with ON Sport, the ex-Zamalek player claimed that his inclusion in the national team squad is not guaranteed, claiming that he is like any other Egyptian footballer.
“I’m not special. Just like any other player, I hope to play with the national team, and I hope I can make the difference,” he explained.
“I hope I can help the team beat Congo in a very important match.”
Gaber insisted that he and his teammates are focused on winning the away match against Congo to give them a boost ahead of the remaining qualifiers against Ghana and Uganda.
The 24-year-old pointed out, “It is a very important match, especially since it is the first one of the qualifiers, and that we need to get all three points.”
When asked about his new position as a left-back, Gaber said, “It’s new. I’ve played in many different positions but left-back is not one of them, but I’m always ready to play wherever the manager asks me to.
“I always do what I’m asked to, but currently, my only focus is on winning the game against Congo,” he concluded.
Egypt’s national team will travel to Brazzaville to play Congo at the New Kintele Stadium on Sunday, October 9th. The following month, Egypt will host the Black Stars on a date that is yet to be announced.

- Celebs. Britney Spears left frustrated after fans call police to check on her
Pamela Anderson and Motley Crew drummer Tommy Lee were briefly married for three years. The pair's relationship was wrought with drama headed by the leak of their infamous sex tape.
Fast forward to 2022 and a series by the name of Pam & Tommy aired on Hulu, which depicts the pair's wedding with particular emphasis being made on their sex tape.
The series that features Lilly James as Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Lee has now drawn the ire of Anderson who has labeled those behind the show "assholes.*"
"You still owe me a public apology," Anderson said about the show's producers to Variety.
"I've got nothing against Lily James. I think that she's a beautiful girl and she was just doing the job. But the idea of the whole thing happening was just really crushing for me."
The former Baywatch actress, who was not consulted by the showrunners, also stated that it must be hard for James to portray her given the lack of access she had.
"I think it's hard to play somebody when you don't know the whole picture," Anderson added. "I just know that I refuse to watch it."
Director defends show
Director Craig Gillespie believes that the show is a testament to feminism and seeks to change the narrative on exploitation.
"I felt, for us, what we're trying to do is really change the narrative and your perspective of what happened," Gillespie previously told EW.
"And this felt like such an opportunity to do that and to be able to look at the story through today's lens and the outrageousness and just the atrocities that happened. I felt that hopefully, it would change people's point of view on that."


I have a Sandisk Sansa m240 mp3 player and i can not figure out how to delete songs off of it and i need to because i have had the same songs on it for about a year and i don't like them anymore. i use windows media player with it, if that is any piece of iinformation needed...

Go to Windows Media Player under the Sync tab, over on the far left should be the name of the player, click on it and find the name of the song by album title, artist, or whatever, click on the title and click delete and you should be able to delete any song you like without deleting them all
Hi mander - use your computer to delete songs. if you hot-plug into your usb port, you should be able to use windows explorer to browse the contents. there should be a folder called 'music', and from there you can select songs as if they were files and delete them.
I need to delete songs from my sons player, but the list of songs do not show up, only the ones we did here. The ones I want deleted were done from another location. What can I do? I don't want to have to delete them all.
If you have windows media player 7.0 or higher (free update on their site) you can delete your songs from there. I haven't messed with it too much as ours was a Christmas gift to our 9 year old, but I had to format it twice because she didn't like the order of the songs. It only took a second to clear all 30 of them off.

sir, as there will be a usb cable given along with the device, you should just connect that tothe computer. a window will open showing the already containing songs.you can just right click on the selected songs in that window and select the delete option.the songs will be deleted.
actually i had somthing liek that ahppen to me mine played 3 songs that had been deleted i still have not figured it out so i bought a Zune ^_^
but fullmetal you go to your computer there is this thing called
removable disk (:E) and you will have a couple folders in there you want to click music and it shoudl show all of the songs that are in there, then you just delete the songs
You can connect the device to your computer and manage it thru "My Computer.
Open My Computer, then open the device (i.e. Sansa m240). Inside there is a Music folder, you can delete them from here. You can also drag songs here to transfer to the player.
If you are not able to see the "music" folder, you may need to enable "Hidden Files and Folders" on your computer.
Best of Luck.

Travis has been a big helper decorating our new home, and this project was a fantastic way to continue recent projects where we talked about exact rainbow order. It’s also a great review of shapes before he steps into pre-k in a few weeks!
Sorry grown-ups, but this one’s a little labor-intensive on your part at the front end. Using construction paper in all the colors of the rainbow, I cut out a square, rectangle, triangle, and circle from each.
While I was busy cutting, Travis got in some practice with safety scissors:
Your child might also like to try tracing or drawing shapes of his or her own as you work.
Once the shapes were ready, we needed to sort! Travis has been very into sorting lately, so loved helping separate the pieces into four piles by shape.
For each group, we snipped a long ribbon and then glued the pieces on in rainbow order, singing the order of the colors as we went: “Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Makes a Rainbow.” (My apologies to indigo and violet).
When we had finished with the rectangles, Travis excitedly asked, “Are we going to do another one??” He chose triangles next, and so on until all our shapes were glued.
This project was gorgeous even while drying on the counter!
While the shapes dried, we made the finishing touch – white cloud shapes with puffy cotton balls glued on. We added these below the purple shapes on our ribbons.
To assemble your mobile, glue two jumbo craft sticks together at the middle. Note: You can have your child color on the craft sticks with marker if they’d like to, but since this part of the mobile will hang up on the ceiling, it’s not necessary.
Glue one strand of shapes onto each of the four craft stick ends, then use a length of yarn or ribbon to suspend your mobile.
You’ll have a rainbow to cheer you every day in your home, whether you’ve just moved in or have been there for years!

Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Friday that a "powerful" country had been "angered" by his visit to Russia in February and had questioned his decision to go ahead with the two-day tour amid Russia-Ukraine tensions.
He did not name the country in his speech at the Islamabad Security Dialogue. The premier noted that the unnamed country's ally, India, was importing oil from Russia at a time when the West was trying to impose sanctions in the aftermath of the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine.
"Today, I read the British foreign secretary's statement that they can't say anything to India as it has an independent foreign policy. So what are we then?" he asked, adding that the blame lay with Pakistan.
"No country is respected unless it stands on its own two feet."
During his speech, the premier also praised India for its independent foreign policy that was centred around its people. "They protect their independent foreign policy."
He began his address by highlighting the importance of the event. "In our minds, security was defined as military [might]," he said, adding that it was, in fact, "multi-dimensional".
He said that the biggest "insecurity" for a nation is when there is a small island of wealthy citizens surrounded by a sea of underprivileged. "A country which does not have inclusive prosperity will always remain insecure."
He regretted the fact that many were unable to understand the concept of Riyasat-i-Madina. "They think that I talk about Riyasat-i-Madina to garner votes and use Islam for political purposes."
Commenting on the state of Madina, he called it a "unique" model where the people were uplifted to become a great civilisation. "This is a part of history, not mythology," he said, adding that this model was the very definition of national security.
"They proved that when a nation takes care of its weakest people, that is real security [...] security follows when every citizen owns their country," he said, adding that the military could only give you "limited security".
Turning towards Pakistan, the premier labelled "unequal development" in Pakistan as the biggest reason for the country's insecurity. "A small elite laid capture to our resources and did not allow its competition to succeed."
He went on to say that the same elite also introduced an English medium education system which meant that good jobs would only go to those who spoke the language. PM Imran further said that this also had an impact on the health and justice system, where only the affluent were being catered to.
The prime minister also held the absence of rule of law as the reason behind the country's insecurity, stating that no country could truly progress or reach its potential without it. He noted how the same was enforced in the state of Madina.
"I want to be a part of a state that gives me justice, where my rights, life and property are protected," he said.
Giving an example from history, he said that conquerors from the North would travel straight to Delhi facing little to no resistance. "They faced no resistance because the people did not have a stake in the system. It was a feudal system," he said that the person at the top ruled over the people.
Finally touching upon an independent foreign policy, he said that the policy at the time of independence "made sense". "We were bankrupt, we did not have resources and had refugee problems."
But our dependency on foreign aid caused the most damage to the country, he said. "We did not bother to discover the potential that God had given us. A person reaches his true potential when he faces resistance," he said, giving the example of a muscle atrophying when it is not in use.
"When a nation starts thinking we can't achieve anything without aid, it can't succeed," he said, adding that an independent foreign policy was inextricably linked with a nation's progress.
'Sacrificed own country for another's interest'
Talking about the Afghan 'jihad', the prime minister said that Pakistan had never evaluated what it had lost and what it had gained through its participation.
"We never evaluated whether we got involved in order to help the Afghan people or whether it was for obtaining foreign aid," he said, adding that Pakistan's losses far outweighed the foreign aid that was given.
He went on to say that after 9/11, Pakistan changed its stance on resistance against foreign occupation terming it as "terrorism".
"We violated our own principles," he said, noting the economic devastation and labelling of Pakistan that followed soon after.
"We sacrificed our own country for the benefit of another [...]. That is why I believe that a country without an independent foreign policy does not have any respect in the world and cannot protect the interests of its people."
He went on to say that the objective of the PTI government was to draft an independent foreign policy and to stop the country from becoming part of a particular camp. "We tried to keep our foreign policy independent, one that is only affected by what is good for Pakistan's 220 million people," he said, adding that the country had never received the amount of international respect given during the last three-and-a-half years.
Meanwhile, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly criticised the prime minister's speech, stating that he was "shocked at the way Imran Khan had endangered the global interests of the country".
"His recurring praise for [Narendra] Modi's foreign policy is an insult to the sacrifices of valiant Kashmiris braving Hindutva. Among other things, the damage done to our foreign policy is incalculable," he said.

Anthem and Mascot
I propose that the Daily WTF's anthem be 2 Unlimited's "Are you ready for this" and its mascot be Renee Zellweger. Are we unanimous on this?
If we have a choice, I suggest Hilary Duff as mascot, and her song "Party Up" as anthem. That's way more modern music. And it's American... [H]
If we have a choice, I suggest Hilary Duff as mascot, and her song "Party Up" as anthem. That's way more modern music. And it's American...
Are you a serious Hillary Duff fan? Are are you being sarcastic?
I happen to like her music, yes. Seriously! I even have 2 CD's of her.
(One with Christmas songs and the other one called Metamorphosis.) She
could be the new Britney soon. [:$]
Believe it or not, I think her music is ok too. Hers and Raven Symone's. I like the fact that they portray a more wholesome image. I'm kinda tired of the I'm-a-slut-whore-and-proud-of-it image portrayed by Spears and Aguilera. I always thought that made Americans look bad. Like all we were about was sex and whoring.
Ehm, but isn't Hilary also known as a bit slutty these days? I thought that made her so popular. Okay, Slutty in the Disney-way style still but slutty. She had a fling with Aaron Carter a few years back. And in her Lizzie McGuire movie she also seemed to be easy to get, if you're a guy. (Her first day in Italy and she already runs away with some Italian guy...) Probably the only thing stopping her is that she's still legally underage, but I wonder what she will do in a few years...
That slut-whore-and-proud-of-it image sure does make female singers very popular, though. It made Madonna the Queen of Pop, and Christina and Britney are ready already to take over this crown, if they get a chance. Don't forget, both Britney and Christina also started their careers at Disney, so that won't stop Hilary of becoming the next slut-star...
But I hope she'll keep her sanity and behave in a less slutty way than Britney or Christina. She can sing quite well and isn't bad as an actress.
I sure hope Hillary doesn't go that route. I wonder how Spears will reflect back on her life in say, 40 years. How will she remember her actions? How will she justify them? If she has children, how will they look up to her? "Oh, mommy was a slut." or "Mommy was a tramp." Not to mention the fact that she perverted an entire generation of youth.
What is the difference between a whore and a slut? A whore makes money for prostituting themselves. A slut gives it away for free. Spears got paid. However, something tells me she would have given it away for free too.
Well, look at Madonna. She used to be one of the biggest sluts/Whores
ever. Didn't she even create some book with pornographic images of
herself? And she seemed to have had her share of men too. Didn't she
even kiss with Britney during some show? And now she's a mom and seems
to be well-behaved and apparantly very religious too.
What will she tell her kids? I don't know but considering the things
she has archieved I think they will be reasonable proud of their mom,
since if she had not done all that, her kids might not have the
luxuries that they have now.
If you have lots of money then your children probably won't care much
about how you got it, as long as you're willing to share with them. In
a country like the USA, it's the dollar that can forgive all your
I do wonder why Britney became a slut, though. She used to be
reasonable decent until she and Christina started their little
conflict. They have been battling for the title "Biggest slut in music
video" for several years now. Hilary doesn't have any competition at
that level right now, so she might not have go be that extreme as
Britney to stay popular.
Hey Katja, you think the U.S. is bad with the music videos. You should check out my "Is it wrong?" post. In Bulgaria it's a free-for-all. And get this, their video production rivals that of the U.S.
I was amazed at how "high-quality" all of the video clips were. And quite creative as to boot. They are very sparing with the special effects and when they use them it is very effective. Some very cool stuff. That, and the music is actually quite listenable. It is not the pulsing beat which Europe is so fascinated with (and which America discarded so very long ago). Bulgarian music actually varies...from pleasant ballads to rocking Bulgarian folk dance (which sounds somewhat middle-eastern...I assume because this country was once part of the Ottoman Empire?)
Anyways, Bulgaria's marketing scheme is ingenious. Hook the listener visually and then provide them with (surprisingly) decent music. I only wish the rest of Europe and Russia would get the hint and stop with the pulsing club beats!

If you want to get outside and enjoy nature, but you’re more of a paved surface walker/jogger rather than a hiker, Otter Creek Rd. is the choice for you in Radnor Lake State Park. The road runs through the length of the park along the lake, and is the only place in the park where you’re allowed to jog, bicycle or take your pets. The park is in the process of fixing up parts of the road that have started to erode away, but the few cracks in the pavement didn’t seem to bother anyone I came across.
I was pretty tired after finishing South Lake Trail, my third hike of the day, so I decided to take Otter Creek Rd. back to the Nature Center and call it a day hiking-wise. I treated the mile walk from the trail head to the car as a cool-down period, like you would after running on a treadmill. I took some more photos and stretched (although my glutes were still sore the next day).
Overall, it was a great day for a hike (or in my case, several), and the perfect way for me to get back to the outdoors now that winter is over.

Cervical Spine or neck is a structure composed of 7 bones. Nerves, muscles, tendons and ligaments hold the entire cervical vertebrae together. The cervical spine is an essential part of the human body that contains the spinal cord. The spinal cord receives signals from the brain and enables all the necessary neck and back movements. Any damage or disorder to the cervical spine can lead to severe issues in your routine life.
However, it is possible to fix the disorders by cervical decompression surgery. This surgical procedure provides the solution for back pain, numbness, tingling and weakness. It can also solve other back issues like restoring the nerve issue and fix the abnormality in the motion of your neck.
Overview of Cervical Decompression Surgery in India:
To begin the Cervical Decompression Treatment in India, the doctors perform complete diagnosis on the body of the patient. It is a detailed examination of your back and neck to know the root cause of the problem. The main aim of the tests is an overall analysis of:
- The curvature of the spine.
- Range of motion.
- To check the alignment of the back and neck.
- Locate the damaged or infected area.
- Check for the nerve changes and its impact on the overall back.
- Determine the root cause of the pain.
- To know the bone density, and
- Analyse the muscle strength.
After the complete examination, it gets easy for the surgeon to decide regarding the procedure of surgery as well as Cervical Decompression Treatment Cost India.
Cost of Cervical Decompression Surgery in India:
The starting cost of cervical decompression surgery in India starts at USD 4,500. However, it can go upto USD 9,000 depending on the condition of the patient. If you compare this cost with other developed countries of the world, you will find that the treatment cost in India is relatively low. It is almost one-third of the total expenses in the US.
Due to the availability of top hospitals and best surgeons in India, the country has become the first preference of patients across the globe. India ranks second in treating the maximum number of medical tourists. It is because more than 97% of the spinal surgeries performed in India are successful.
If you are suffering from any cervical issues, you can approach the best doctors and top surgeons to get the personalised quote for your treatment. The doctors in India are ready to provide online assistance to the patients who live abroad, to offer convenience before they plan to visit India for surgery.
The primary requirement or expectations of a patient is to get satisfactory results from the treatment. Not to forget, everyone wishes to avail the best services but at affordable prices. India excels in fulfilling all the necessary prerequisites of the patient.
Most importantly, the patients hesitate to visit foreign countries due to visa issues or inability to receive the appointment with their choice of doctor at the desired time. But, you will never face such difficulties in India, because the medical tourism companies here are always ready to guide you whenever and wherever required.

Agency, mental-health and spaciality in children living amidst political oppression in Gaza and West Bank (O.P.T.).
Goals: this project explores the well-being and life satisfaction of a group of Palestinian children living in the context of armed conflict and political violence, with a specific focus on the resources and capabilities that these children actively display in order to cope with those environments. Within the mainstream literature children are conventionally viewed as a vulnerable group and their coping abilities, survival skills and agency have been long overlooked and underestimated. In order to challenge the raditional conceptualization of children as a highly vulnerable group, this research has been designed to provide a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective which also takes account of the competencies and strengths deployed by children to promote their own well-being in adverse contexts. More specifically, by conceptualizing agency as the person’s capacity to act and contribute to his/her own security, well-being and development , this research program aims to outline the importance of agency for children’s well-being and, hence, its contribution in helping them adapt to and cope with challenging and traumatic living conditions.

The Pitt Panthers defeated the Bradley Braves 4-3 today in the first game of the Music City College Classic.
The Panthers got out to a first inning lead on a fielder’s choice RBI by Ron Washington Jr. The Braves evened the score in the second inning. Panthers’ starter Matt Gilbertson hit left fielder Jackson Chatterton with a pitch. Chatterton advanced to second on a passed ball, and scored on a Jack Lincoln single as unforced mistakes hurt the Panthers again.
The Panthers loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth and broke the tie on a Sky Duff single, but Bradley starter Grant Jausel got two strikeouts and a groundout to keep the lead to one.
Pitt head coach Mike Bell went to his bullpen in the sixth, ending Gilbertson’s day with no earned runs and four strikeouts in 93 pitches of work.
In the sixth, Jordan Anderson bunted to the pitcher to allow Kyle Hess to score on a squeeze play, giving Pitt a 3-1 lead.
Senior Baron Stuart, who replaced Gilbertson, contributed two innings in relief, giving up a solo home run to Lincoln in the seventh.
Washington provided insurance with a solo shot of his own in the eighth, that ended up being the winning run.
Bradley loaded the bases against Hayden Summers with one out in the ninth, pulling within one on a sacrifice fly. Summers caught designated hitter Peter Hansen looking to secure the six out save.
The Panthers move to 3-2 on the season, and will face Bradley again on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 12pm. Billy Corcoran is expected to start.

Super Bowl Sunday pet safety tips
by Ontario SPCA and Humane Society | General Pet Care | February 2, 2018
The Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday and we want to make sure you are prepared to enjoy the event safely with your pets! Here are some helpful tips from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) to make the game day one to remember for everyone! Read the original post from the ASPCA here.
Think something smells delicious? Your pet probably does too. That doesn’t mean it’s good for them to eat though!
The ASPCA recommends you don’t feed or let your pet get into chicken wings, creamy dip, pizza, chocolate desserts and potato chips. These items can cause stomach upset and potentially pancreatitis for pets.
They also advise to be especially cautious with any foods that might have garlic and/or onion in them, as they can cause damage to the red blood cells and kidneys. The ASPCA also says, chocolate, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins and salty snack foods should be kept away from pets.
Help appease your pet’s curiosity by having a bowl of their favourite treats, or even regular pet food, that guests can give your pet.
Many people like to enjoy the Super Bowl with adult beverages. These are definitely something you need to watch you keep away from your pet!
The ASPCA advises not to leave alcoholic beverages or other recreational substances unattended. Your pet can be pretty slick when it comes to swiping lap at your drink while you’re away.
Additionally, the ASPCA says to watch for prescribed medications guests may bring along. It’s tempting for your pets to snag these from your guest’s pocket or purse, or to pick something up that’s fallen to the floor.
Helpful tips the ASPCA recommends: Take your glass with you and any put alcoholic beverages out of paws’ reach.
They also recommend ensuring any medications are not kept where pets can get to them, and that they are taken behind closed doors, just in case one or two pills are dropped.
Last tip: Clean up as you go! Don’t leave a temptation lying around for your pet to get into.
Enjoy game day!
Speaking for the ones who can’t speak for themselves
Keep up the good work speaking for the ones who can’t speak for themselves. A society who cares for their animals is a better society. Thanks for your good work!

Instead of traveling to Milwaukee, Joe Biden Will Address the Nation From his Home State of Delaware.
“Speakers for the 2020 Democratic National Convention will no longer travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in order to prevent risking the health of our host community as well as the convention’s production teams, security officials, community partners, media and others,” the Democratic National Convention Committee said in a statement. “In accordance with this guidance, Vice President Joe Biden will no longer travel to Milwaukee.”
“We put the health and safety of the American people first,” DNC Chair Tom Perez said in a statement. “We followed the science, listened to doctors and public health experts, and we continued making adjustments to our plans in order to protect lives.”
Democrats said they still planned to offer two hours of programming each night from Aug. 17 to Aug. 20. Convention officials said a “custom virtual video control room” had been created for viewers to “take in hundreds of feeds from around the country, including the potential of interacting with Americans from around the country.”
Trump Renomination Closed to the Public and the Press
The move by Biden follows the August 2 Republican announcement Trump Renomination Closed to the Public and the Press.
I can hardly wait for these “custom virtual video control rooms” so I can pretend to watch them with a bowl of virtual popcorn.

2016. Only 4 numbers that symbolize every second, every emotion and every memory I feel and have felt this past year. Only 4 numbers, yet so difficult to grasp its core. Only 4 numbers, yet they cause an infinite amount of thoughts. One of the main thoughts I have when looking back is how much I've like realized stuff about myself, my life and my choices. I guess Kylie was right in the end after all. Last year, I wanted to substract the pure essence of I. Instead of focusing on the effects, I wanted to understand the cause of my deeds. I discovered so many layers of myself I didn't even know I had. And I did all that to be able to know who I am, what I needed to do and how I could avoid making the same, painful mistakes I've made in the past. Instead of trying to understand others, I realized I didn't even understand myself. And how can one help another if one doesn't know how to help him or herself first? So that's what I did: 2016 was a year of self-realization, self-reflection and self-recognizing. Who am I? Why do I do this? How come I feel the same emotions over and over again, only in different situations? Those questions guided me to the place I am right now. The answers I was searching for were not to be found in others or in circumstances, but only in my own mind. I've realized that life isn't a vicious circle like I thought before - it's too random for that. However, in the end, everything in life can be reduced to thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Life is constantly opposing, unifying and becoming something else. And you can't have any control over it. The only control you have is over your own choices.
Realizing this made me see my life in a different perspective. I was always the girl that had everything figured out. I knew what I wanted and I thought that achieving what I wanted would make me happy. But did it really? Understanding that life is constantly in flux and motion, and thus, you as a person are too, ánd that that's totally okay, felt really hard and really relieving at the same time. You are not the picture that you paint. You are you. With all your doubts, choices and freedom you have.
Previous year, I thought I wanted to be a criminal defense lawyer. I thought I met this great guy and I had something special with him this time - multiple times. I thought I knew what I wanted and how I wanted to achieve it. Now, 365 days later, I'm making plans to leave everything behind and move to NYC. I've come to known that the love I've given was abused. But most of all, I've realized that I know nothing of what the future behold for me. I've learned that nothing life is certain. How deeply I wanted to follow a certain path I've laid out for myself. But the harder I tried, the more I understood life is not to be fixed. Although this was really hard for me to accept - now I've realized change is okay. Everything changes and is in constant motion and flux. Like a river: constantly flowing with new water, while still remaining the same. And so is life.
"Everything in life can be reduced to thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Life is constantly opposing, unifying and becoming something else."
MY LIFE LESSONS OF 2016.
So, to summarize, these are the life lessons I've learned in 2016:
- The process of self-growth/self-realization takes a long time. The more you start opening up to yourself, the more you understand you're not even close to figuring out yourself. That's okay.
- Change is inevitable. You are not the same person you were before. You don't have a core. You are just changing energy. And that's okay too.
- Don't give away your love. You should give it to yourself and only if you're completely certain, you can consider giving it to someone else. You don't need anyone else to give your love to, loving yourself should make you feel loved. Imagine what would happen if all the love we had for others, we used to love ourselves?
- I love philosophy. Honestly I LIVE for it. It's like my brains are in constant euforia whenever I'm thinking about philosophical problems, especially when I realize that I've learned something new.
- Believing in yourself is essential. I've always believed in the choices I made. They may not always had the best results, but they've always taught me something. The place I am in right now is already a step closer to where I want to be than a year ago. And I would never have been here if I did listen to others and did not stick to my own guts. So, believing in yourself, your capacities and your dreams is not unrealistic or naive, no it's the key (major key haha) to getting anywhere in life. This is one of the most important life lessons for me personally.
It's strange: I remember writing my final blogpost about the life lessons of the year of 2015 so clearly - and now I'm here, doing the same thing, exactly 365 days later. 365 days ago I had 5.000 amazing Youtube subscribers. Now, I can add 95.000 of you to that number. I feel so grateful for each and everyone of you. I love you, and you definitely made my year complete.
It's time to conclude this chapter. And I would describe this ending as bittersweet - my favorite flavor. The sweetness of the things I achieved this year, the happiness I felt and the love that I've received. The bitterness of the struggles I had to go through, the people that I've lost and the energy that I've wasted. But in the end, 2016 was just a steppingstone to all the things life still has planned for me in the future. It's time to say goodbye now and leave this road behind. 2017, I'm heading right to ya.
THANK YOU. JUST THANK YOU.

Fortunately for, Carrigan, his beloved, Heidi, understands and supports his Broncos fandom.
As evidence, check out this Facebook pic of the couple with their two kids.
Still, Heidi didn't know how much green her husband laid out to attend the big game until a little something we call the Internet did its thing.
Prior to the Super Bowl, Carrigan was pigeonholed in Norm Mineta San Jose International Airport by a staffer from NBC Bay Area — and during their brief chat, he said he'd spent around $21,000 for four tickets, and expected to add another $9,000 to that sum before all was said and done.
At that point, the reporter asked, "What if you guys lose?"
Shortly thereafter, the video was everywhere — and even though the station misspelled Justin's last name as "Kerrigan" in its article about him, he knew he'd be busted soon enough.
So, he tells 9News, he called his wife and said, "Babe, you're going to see something on Facebook. Love you!"
Heidi tells the station she didn't realize Carrigan was covering the price of tickets for the three friends who traveled to Cali with him. (They've already paid him back — although his share of the cost is still in the $7,000-$8,000 range.) Likewise, she had no clue the initial total was $21,000 for the tickets alone, not counting the cost of a rental car and hotel rooms.
Even so, she's not ready to send him packing, even though he's made other secret purchases in the past. "I was a little frustrated at first, but you know, at the end of the day, we’re in it together, long haul," she says in the 9News piece. "No one is getting a divorce."
Congrats, Justin. The Broncos aren't the only winners in this story.

Choir Releases New Easter Recording—He Is Risen
For centuries, great composers and lyricists have heralded the Easter season with classic music. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has just completed a new recording on its label featuring six favorites. “He Is Risen is designed to enhance Easter celebrations and extend that reverence for the Savior and his resurrection throughout the year,” said Scott Barrick, general manager of the Choir. “There isn’t a large selection of recorded Easter music so we’re pleased to make this exciting repertoire available. We expect our listeners will be thrilled with this new music by the Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square.”
All new recordings, the six classic songs include “He Is Risen,” “Jesus Has Risen,” “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today,” “In the Garden,” “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” and “Worthy Is the Lamb That Was Slain” from Messiah.
The digital version will be available March 4 on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and deseretbook.com. A CD version will follow the first week of April.


Have you ever thought, “Boy, I wish I had a shot at deciding the flavor of some new potato chip that’s sure to underperform and be discontinued!”? Well, with Lays’ “Do Us a Flavor” contest, that passing thought can become a mediocre reality! They’re giving a million dollars to the lucky schlub who comes up with the best new potato chip flavor. (A million dollars? Lay’s couldn’t pay us that much to eat one of their existing vomit-inducing flavors like “Cooked Creamy Mediterranean Herb” or “Classic BLT.”) But while there may be only one champion-chip, we think some of the runners-up deserve recognition too.

Denver Public Schools will receive $10 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to bolster its teacher evaluation system.
The grant, which will be spread over three years, allows the school district to continue developing initiatives for its teacher effectiveness system known as LEAP, or leading effective academic practice. DPS also will be able to iron out any kinks with the system before the implementation of a state law that requires districts across Colorado to evaluate teachers and principals annually.
Superintendent Tom Boasberg said the funding will help the district comply with the teacher effectiveness law known as Senate Bill 191. But Boasberg said the district’s evaluation system and its work on initiatives that foster teacher effectiveness preceded state law.
“It will help us fulfill obligations in the law, but whether or not the law existed, we’d be doing exactly the same thing,” Boasberg said. “The purpose of this work has not been, ‘How do we comply with the law?’ The purpose of this work is, ‘How do we get better support for our teachers in coaching them and helping them grow in an extraordinarily difficult profession?’ “
The system was first developed in 2010 by the district and the Denver Classroom Teachers Association with financial help from an earlier Gates foundation grant.
Since 2009, DPS has received $77 million in gifts and grants from private foundations, corporations and individuals. With the most recent grant award, the Gates Foundation has provided about $20 million to the school district for its work on teacher effectiveness.
Patricia Loera, a senior program officer with the Gates Foundation, said Denver Public Schools has been a national leader on teacher effectiveness.
“We’re learning a lot from them about how to do this work well,” Loera said. “The work that they’re doing is high quality.”
District officials said details are still being worked out, but, generally, the funding will be used in areas that include providing training and mentoring for school leaders so that they can give teachers specific feedback on how to improve, offering professional development for educators and ensuring consistency among evaluators.
“It’s like a surgeon having much greater clarity on what makes for effective procedures in complicated operating cases and then having frequent observation and feedback from expert surgeons on how they’re doing and how they can do better,” Boasberg said.
Keith Roybal, outreach manager for the Denver Classroom Teachers Association, said most educators have embraced the evaluation system but would like to see additional opportunities for training.
“I would hope that we can leverage this money to provide coaching and to provide teachers with more opportunities to learn how to teach, how to serve our English Language Learners and how to serve our students who come from diverse backgrounds,” Roybal said.

Recently Tata Motors has teased the new Tigor EV in a new social media post. The homegrown automaker insists that the Tigor EV gets Ziptron electric powertrain. The video posted on social platforms features Tata Nexon EV with Formula One driver Narayan Karthikeyan behind the wheel. The Ziptron technology debuted with Tata Nexon EV, the most successful electric passenger vehicle in the Indian market.
The Ziptron powered tata cars come with a high-voltage 300+ volt permanent magnet synchronised electric motor. This is claimed to be much more powerful than the 72V AC induction-type motor available on the current Tigor EV. The teaser video indicates that Ziptron technology-enabled Tigor EV will offer much better performance. Tata Motors earlier claimed the Ziptron vehicles are proficient in running at least 250 km range on a single charge. Expect the new Tigor EV to get a similar range.
The automaker started the electric sub-compact sedan for government authorities and fleet operators a few years ago. It was made available for private buyers back in 2019. However, the car didn't find several takers in the individual buyer segment. Limited range and performance issues were the reasons behind that. The Tigor EV with Ziptron technology will address these concerns. In terms of design too, the new Tata Tigor EV gets a few changes. The teaser video shows that it gets projector headlamps, bumper integrated LED daytime running lights. The alloy wheels will get blue accents hinting at the car's zero-emission character. Also, expect it to be available in a wide range of colour options. It could come with fast-charging technology as well. These updates will make the car distinctive compared to the fleet model.
