The Man Behind Rosa ParksBreaking News
At the front of a bus, previously reserved for white riders, is Rosa Parks, face turned to the window to her left, seemingly lost in thought as she rides through Montgomery, Ala. In the seat behind her is a young white man looking to his right, his face hard, almost expressionless. The two, the only figures visible on the bus, seem a few inches and a universe apart, each seemingly looking at and for something utterly different.
Everyone knows her. No one knows him.
Except for Catherine Chriss, his daughter. And, like his identity, hidden in plain sight, unknown even to the veterans of that era still living, what's most telling about the real story of the black woman and the white man is how much of what we think we know is what we read into the picture, not what's there.
The man on the bus, Nicholas C. Chriss, was not some irritated Alabama segregationist preserved for history but a reporter working at the time for United Press International out of Atlanta. He died of an aneurysm at 62 in 1990. Mrs. Parks died at 92 on Oct. 24, a few weeks short of the 50th anniversary of her refusal to give up her seat on the bus to a white man.
Mr. Chriss, who also worked for The Los Angeles Times and The Houston Chronicle, publicly disclosed his role in the picture just once. It was three paragraphs in the middle of a 2,183-word article he wrote for The Chronicle in 1986 about his experiences covering the civil rights movement.
He explained that the picture was taken on Dec. 21, 1956, the day after the United States Supreme Court ruled Montgomery's segregated bus system illegal. (Actually, the ruling had come a month earlier, but it was not until Dec. 20 that the district court entered the order putting it into effect.) He said that he boarded the bus in downtown Montgomery and that he and Mrs. Parks were the only riders up front.
He wrote: "It was a historic occasion. I was then with the United Press International wire service. A UPI photographer took a picture of Mrs. Parks on the bus. It shows a somber Mrs. Parks seated on the bus looking calmly out the window. Seated just behind her is a hard-eyed white man.
"Each anniversary of that day, this photograph is brought out of musty files and used in various publications around the world. But to this day no one has ever made clear that it was a reporter, I, covering this event and sitting behind Mrs. Parks, not some sullen white segregationist! It was a great scoop for me, but Mrs. Parks had little to say. She seemed to want to savor the event alone."

It has been another bit of surprise sprung this time around by the report on June 27 titled the theme of the 2007 State of World Population Report of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). I always pondered and felt a bit of scared of the growing statistical if not real influx to the urban centers leaving the rural areas in search of better oppurtunities. It is of great concern that the farmers are no more there, not one in many villages across andhra pradesh for example and its same if not mor or less in many places across the globe. Call it global warming, pollution or what ever poverty is on the rise and so is the insecurity of foodgrains in many countries.
Lack of proper irrigation and supply of seeds and other parapfernilia for aggriculture has lead to a great concern among the farming classes. Above all the entry of capitalisation of the agri sector has further more scared and concerned the already dearthing and depriving classes. While the manufacturers of all other goods have a right to fix their prices for the goods taht they produce its the so called Beaurocrats that do it for the farmers leaving them no where near the actual benefit that they deserve.
There has been this feeling of better living possible only in cities and villages are of no great importance (calling it boring and slow life). I am afraid this might lead to a slummification of the independent village farmer in the long run. At least the statistics say so.
The world’s population is currently 6.7 billion. Fewer of them, however, live in mega-cities of more than 10 million, such as Tokyo, Mexico, New York, Sao Paulo or Bombay, than was predicted by experts in the 1970s says the UN report.
The report, State of the World Population 2007: Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth, says that urbanisation is inevitable but it argues that cities can have positive results as well as simply concentrating poverty.
Globally all future population growth is expected to take place in cities, nearly all of it in Asia, Africa and Latin America, according to the report by the United Nations Population Fund.
The Fund expects the world’s urban population to swell to almost 5 billion by 2030, 60 per cent of the world population. (Telegraph.co.uk)
In the 20th Century alone, the world’s urban population grew more than 10-fold: from 220 million to 2.8 billion. The world’s towns and cities are growing at a rate of more than 1.2 million per week.
By 2008, more people will be living in cities than in rural areas. “For the first time in history, more than half the world’s human population or 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas,” states the report titled ‘Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth’. “By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion.” (Allafrica.com)

Former Campbell agent claims having evidence against NaomiBy ANI
Monday, November 22, 2010
NEW YORK - Naomi Campbell’s former agent has claimed having evidence to prove that the supermodel was aware of her role as a principal in Moodform Mission, the fragrance company that produced Campbell’s perfume.
White sued Campbell for 10 million dollars for backing out of the perfume deal and eating her commission.
In a taped conversation from July 11, 2006, Campbell’s manager, Bruno Michel, calls White “partner” and says they had talked about commissions “20,000 times,” reports the New York Post.
However, Campbell’s countersuit claimed that White misrepresented her role in the fragrance company.
White’s lawyer said the tape supports their case that Campbell knew of White’s role.
Campbell’s rep said, “The allegation is unequivocally denied.” (ANI)

Kukla's Korner Hockey

from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
“We could do lots of these,” Bettman said. “But nobody is suggesting that is the right answer at this point.”
The NHL is planning to continue the tradition for now, and will begin next week to reviewing bids for next year’s game. The league is also looking at the possibility of a second game between two Canadian teams.
“But that’s not even a done deal yet,” Bettman said.
Here is a list of some of the American venues that USA TODAY hockey writer Kevin Allen would like to see given the opportunity to host Winter Classics.
Yankee Stadium: Baseball stadiums seem to provide a more picturesque setting and there are multiple matchup possibilities. With John Tavares now on Long Island, a New York Rangers vs. Islanders matchup has appeal, as does Rangers vs. any Original Six team or Rangers vs. Flyers.
Michigan Stadium: Whenever the NHL wants to pack more than 100,000 into an arena for an outdoor game, they just have to announce the Toronto Maple Leafs will play the Red Wings in the Big House. There will be as many Maple Leafs fans as Red Wings fans. They will sell 110,000-plus tickets.

Did you know Wonder Woman’s creator also invented the lie detector? Knowing that before creating Diana he was building the first polygraph really puts her lasso’s powers in a whole new light. A new play explores the unusual life William Moulton Marston, the man behind Wonder Woman, and the woman the iconic character was based on. Plus, there’s his deep, abiding love of bondage, and the way he worked that into the famous feminist hero.
Lasso of Truth, running at the Marin Theatre (marinthreatre.org) until March 16, explores all this and more. I spoke with playwright Carson Kreitzer about the show and her own relationship with the iconic character.
When reading comics and working on the show, I learned how important origin stories are, and how they’re always revisiting those. I love that this is essentially the origin story for the character–where did Wonder Woman come from?
The play follows Marston and his wife, and the young graduate assistant who is helping Marston build the lie detector. Together they have this amazing family. Both women, his wife and the graduate assistant, really inspired the character. At the same time [that we learn about] Marston’s life, there is also a contemporary story of a modern girl who is looking for the very first appearance of Wonder Woman, and trying to put the pieces together. Her path is very much my path–being thrown by her childhood character having a questionable background. It’s about people who are following different lifestyles [being able to] imagine new ways to be in the world, which is incredibly useful and powerful.
How did you get interested in Wonder Woman’s creator?
A different play I was working on just happened to involve a polygraph, and while researching the lie detector, I discovered the Wonder Woman connection. It just became a landslide of information all about the polyamory and the bondage, the two women in his life living together after his death and raising his children together in the 50s, which is the most conformist time to have this unusual little family.
Wonder Woman was so important to me growing up, I came to her through the tv show. Getting to see Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman was just incredibly important and a huge part of my childhood identity. Finding out that Wonder Woman came from this place of bondage was initially really distressing, and then I took another look at the costume with the boots and the bustier and realized, oh god, how did I not realize all the connections?
So you were a Wonder Woman tv fan. Were you into the comics too?
I had some comics, but I wasn’t a huge comics person. I was raised by a mom who was really into art and graphic novels that were more classic, such as Little Nemo, Krazy Kat, and that kind of thing. But I’m sort of more omnivorous. When I read Art Spiegelman’s Maus it catapulted me back into that world.
As a playwright, I’m very jealous of graphic novels and how the world is presented that way. Fun Home by Alison Bechdel is one of my favorite works of art in any genre whatsoever. The ability to get the big picture and the tiny picture all at once, and have the opportunity to have action occur between panels are such storytelling opportunities. We’ve been working on bringing that comics sensibility to the play.
Did you have to get the rights for Wonder Woman for the show?
No, Wonder Woman herself doesn’t appear in the play. This is about Marston and his creation of her, which is fact, and out there in the world. It’s about exploring the women who were in his life. And they are amazing–they are where Wonder Woman came from. It feels like she is on stage because she’s present in these two very different and fascinating women. The research assistant actually wore heavy silver bracelets which were the inspiration for the bullet-reflecting cuffs. These women were not kidding around. They lived together, they raised these wonderful and well-adjusted kids together, and after Marston’s death they continued to live together until one died in the late 80s. The other lived to be 100 and had an incredible life; she graduated from law school in 1915. Just two amazing women with a fascinating story.
Some people may only know Wonder Woman from tv or comics without knowing anything about the creator behind her. How did Marston end up creating this iconic character?
He actually invented her but H.G. Peter did the drawings. Marston created the story lines and wrote the scripts, so he came up with the scenarios but didn’t do the whole thing.
I am not from the comics world, and people who are in it are so passionate about it; it’s been fascinating coming to it as I have researched the play. I’ve read so many Wonder Woman comics, all the different eras and characters. After Marston’s death she was not a feminist character for quite a while. In the 50s, it was “Will Wonder Woman marry Steve Trevor?” and that kind of thing. She’s been so different throughout the years.
How do you bring the comics element to the stage? Was it a challenge to figure out how to bring his comics creations to life?
A wonderful graphic designer, Jacob Stoltz, has drawn us 100 different comic panels that are projected onto screens throughout the evening. Actors are interacting with this graphic world that is at the same time representing the play in a slightly different way. Some of the drawings are in noir style, some romance comics, things like that. It’s a very vital part of the play and story telling. Jacob’s stuff can be seen at jacobstoltz.com, and he’s amazing.
What do you hope audiences will take away from the show after seeing it?
There’s a lot going on in the play, and I don’t intend to have one message for people to come away with. I hope it makes people do some thinking. A lot of it is really about figuring out how we all move forward and accepting the interesting quirks and differences among us, as well as continuing on with our powerful heroines–that is really important.
In working on this play, I came to understand how much Wonder Woman has dropped out of popular culture. For people my age, we all know Wonder Woman because she was on TV and there weren’t a lot of channels at the time. We were very surprised to work with younger actresses who grew up without Wonder Woman. So I am very excited to see Wonder Woman getting back into popular culture and hope to see some movies and pop culture coming soon. We all deserve to have an invisible jet!
This show is about a creator and his relationship with his creation. What other themes and topics do you like to explore in your work?
A lot of my work is about outsiders and different perspectives on American history. I wrote one play about Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb, another play about the first female serial killer. I tend to look at people who don’t fit in and have to create their own paths, and often about women who cause trouble for one reason or another, who don’t follow the accepted script. Stories are important, especially when you’re growing up. A lot of my plays are about the different lives you could be living and stories that haven’t been told in popular culture.
The show’ currently at Marin Theatre in Mill Valley California. Any plans for this show to be performed elsewhere after this run ends?
It’s actually going to have a rolling world premiere, through the National New Play Network. Two more productions already planned, one for Synchronicity in Atlanta and another at Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City.
And, of course, I have to ask. Favorite Wonder Woman story?
I just love the original comics. They are so strange and funky and there’s so much bondage. It is all about Wonder Woman tying people up and bursting out of chains, so I really love that first super early stuff. I’ve also been completely loving the new stuff that is coming out now, the Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang stuff. So much fun! Plus, the documentaries about her have been great. Trina Robbins is so incredible. And I can’t forget to mention Phil Jimenez’s stuff!

Has anyone with this issue fixed this issue? 1994 Chevy C1500. It has head/parking/tail lights functional. When the headlight switch is switched on, it there are no dash lights and the HVAC lights go out. I have tested the wires going to both switches and they have power. I have tested & replaced the switches and they have not remedied the problem. The bulbs in the dash have been check/tested and are good. I have not had the opportunity to trace wires yet. I would think someone on here has likely come across this and found the answer. Perhaps a specific ground?


Seems to me Jeb is counting his chickens before the eggs hatch. Seems to me that Jeb’s main focus these days should be to “whoop” the other people running ahead of him in the Republican field. Seems to me his concentration should be to avoiding the 3 or maybe 5 percent poll ratings.
“Should I win this nomination,” Jeb was heard saying at the Republican Jewish Coalition on Thursday, “I will take it to Hillary Clinton and I will whoop her.”
And along with the whopping of Hillary Clinton, Jeb promised the Jewish Coalition that as soon as he becomes president, he would whoop Israel’s enemies too.
He told the audience that”Day one” he will move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, ensure Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge is maintained for the long run, and work with the U.S. attorney general to stop the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement in the United States.
He said he would use aggressive U.S. military leadership in the region, marshaling Sunni Arab armies, and building safe zones inside Syria.
There will be a lot of whoopings going on in a Bush administration… apparently!

OTA (the retailer) owes their livelihood to the punter, to the customer. The person they get their money from is the consumer making a booking. OTAs build loyalty through deal hunting, sales, customer service, customer contact and building unique product. Meta-search customers are media companies trading in eyeballs, clicks and page views. The meta-search company owes its livelihood to the advertiser, to the supplier. They get their money from the click buyers, suppliers and media companies that buy the eyeballs looking for travel. Meta-search companies build retention through convincing consumers that only meta-search can provide the best price.

EXPERIENCES OF UAV SURVEYS APPLIED TO ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Keywords: UAV, Photogrammetry, Laser, Risk analysis
Abstract. In this paper the results of some surveys carried out in an area of Apulian territory affected by serious environmental hazard are presented. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are emerging as a key engineering tool for future environmental survey tasks. UAVs are increasingly seen as an attractive low-cost alternative or supplement to aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry due to their low cost, flexibility, availability and readiness for duty. In addition, UAVs can be operated in hazardous or temporarily inaccessible locations, that makes them very suitable for the assessment and management of environmental risk conditions. In order to verify the reliability of these technologies an UAV survey and A LIDAR survey have been carried outalong about 1 km of coast in the Salento peninsula, near the towns of San Foca, Torre dellOrso and SantAndrea( Lecce, Southern Italy). This area is affected by serious environmental risks due to the presence of dangerous rocky cliffs named falesie. The UAV platform was equipped with a photogrammetric measurement system that allowed us to obtain a mobile mapping of the fractured fronts of dangerous rocky cliffs. UAV-images data have been processed using dedicated software (AgisoftPhotoscan). The point clouds obtained from both the UAV and LIDAR surveys have been processed using Cloud Compare software, with the aim of testing the UAV results with respect to the LIDAR ones. The total error obtained was of centimeter-order that is a very satisfactory result. The environmental information has been arranged in an ArcGIS platform in order to assess the risk levels. The possibility to repeat the survey at time intervals more or less close together depending on the measured levels of risk and to compare the output allows following the trend of the dangerous phenomena. In conclusion, for inaccessible locations of dangerous rocky bodies the UAV survey coupled with GIS methodology proved to be a key engineering tool for the management of environmental risks.

When early American colonists begun penetrating the thick interior of the North American frontier, they discovered that the vast, untouched forests extended much deeper than previously imagined. About 1 billion acres of heavily wooded land stretched from the Atlantic to well past the Mississippi River and promised settlers a wealth of useful raw timber.
Southern Longleaf Pine or “Southern Steel” covered a wide crescent from South Virginia to East Texas. Those more commercially minded individuals immediately recognized the significance of this untapped natural resource; used for shipbuilding, construction, and fuel, the trees of the American forests offered a seemingly limitless natural wealth for the taking.
This natural wealth, it turned out, wasn’t so limitless. As the population of the young country grew, so did the need for more land, fuel, and building materials. Huge swaths of forest were cleared for building and farm use. Logging operations and paper mills popped up across the country, from the Atlantic Southeast to the Pacific Northwest. Longleaf pine, in fact, dwindled to 3% of its original forest area. By the end of the Civil War, agricultural and logging operations had cleared about 30 percent of the original stands as the country devoured more and more raw timber.
Part of the problem lay in the creation of new legislation that lacked proper oversight. Although efforts such as the Timber and Stone Act of 1878 were meant to facilitate settlement by pioneers and their families, provided the public with 160 acre plots of land along the coast of Northern California, the logging industry took advantage of loopholes and accumulated huge tracts of timberland. One such business, the California Redwood Company, acquired tens of thousands of acres of public lands in 1882, which originally had been allotted to families for only $2.50 an acre. By the 1890s, these “cheap” redwood forests were no longer in the public domain. The country’s forests and its old-growth wood had been taken for granted.
Many worried that America would experience a “national famine of wood” by the 20th century and began demanding that the federal government begin strict conservation measures. At the end of the 19th century it began answering these calls; President Benjamin Harrison signed the Forest Reserve Act of 1891, the first such act that would inspire a series of conservation efforts by government to begin drawing boundaries around the old forests.
Increased efforts, combined with a decrease in the need for farmland, finally began to slow the consumption of old-growth wooded areas. Organizations like the Sierra Club and the National Geographic Society put considerable pressure on government to create a system of national parks aimed at slowing the degradation of old-growth forests. (By 1920, forest acreage stopped declining, and it has remained relatively stable ever since). Since then, efforts to plant new trees have replaced harvesting old-growth. Modern reforestation efforts include several varieties of pine (a wood used mostly for construction and papermaking). But where would industry turn to when many still demanded durable, high quality material that wouldn’t cause further deforestation?

The perfect swimsuit is not the only thing that can make you look good, according to a new study.
The findings from a recent study from University of Illinois showed that the more you’re dressed up, the more confident you feel.
The study, which was conducted by the university’s Graduate Program in Fashion Design, looked at more than 3,000 people and surveyed them about their swimwear preferences and how comfortable they were with their swimsuits.
“People are often surprised by the amount of time it takes to find an appropriate swimsuit, and we think this could help people make better choices about what suits to wear,” said Jessica L. Schuster, associate professor in the department of fashion design and fashion merchandising.
“We wanted to understand how much time it took to find the right swimsuit to complement a particular outfit.
We wanted to find out if there was any way to predict the type of suit people would choose to wear.”
The study found that while people who wanted to wear a certain type of swimsuit were more likely to choose a suit that fit their personality, those who wanted a suit more fitted were more than twice as likely to be satisfied with the result.
The results were published in the journal Contemporary Fashion in May.
“In order to have a suit of appropriate fit, people need to understand the shape of their body, their shape, their height, and their overall shape,” Schuster said.
“These measurements may help people to choose appropriate suit shapes that are appropriate for the body type they are.
People may also find that fitting is easier if they are wearing a suit which is a little too large or too small.”
The researchers say the findings could be of value for designers, as more and more people are trying to find and find the perfect fit for their outfits.
“The research highlights the importance of knowing your body shape and shapely proportions, as well as how the shape and proportions of your body make a huge difference to how your suit fits you,” Schusters said.

You've made your way to the Coconutery, the world's leading non-existent coconut community.
You know by now that coconuts are crazy healthy for you, but what specifically makes them grade-A?
Here's a few reminders:
They're highly nutritious
Unlike many other fruits that are high in carbs, coconuts provide mostly fat (5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).
They also contain protein, several important minerals, and small amounts of B vitamins. However, they’re not a significant source of most other vitamins (5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source).
The minerals in coconut are involved in many functions in your body. Coconuts are especially high in manganese, which is essential for bone health and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol (8Trusted Source).
They’re also rich in copper and iron, which help form red blood cells, as well as selenium, an important antioxidant that protects your cells.
Benefit your heart
Studies have found that people who live on Polynesian islands and frequently eat coconut meat have lower rates of heart disease than those who follow a Western diet (10Trusted Source).
However, native Polynesians also eat more fish and less processed foods, so it’s unclear if these lower rates are due to eating coconut or other aspects of their diet (10Trusted Source).
Another study in 1,837 Filipino women found that those who ate more coconut oil not only had higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol but also higher levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides (10Trusted Source).
Overall, it concluded that coconut oil has a neutral effect on cholesterol levels (10Trusted Source).

text: A woman went to a hospital expecting a normal vaginal delivery. However after 10 hours of labor she needed a cesarean section and began bleeding internally after her uterine arteries were torn or cut during the surgery. According to her medical malpractice lawsuit she bled to death after the attending physician and obstetrician argued as to how to treat her. They could not determine whether the victim was bleeding internally and whether they should reopen her abdominal incision to evaluate. The victim had lost more than 3 quarts of blood during the surgery which accounted for 60 percent of the total blood volume in her body. The medical malpractice lawsuit claims that the doctors and hospital botched what should have been done in a routine birth. When the victim entered the hospital she was healthy and had a problem-free, full-term pregnancy. The doctor’s were quoted in an affidavit stating that there was understaffing in the surgical care unit. Both the hospital and doctors deny any medical malpractice.

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. I really love Mercy's sketches - you can layer them up or keep them simple. Today I opted for keeping it simple! :) I also was able to ink up the brand new set by JustRite Stampers called All Occasions Sentiments and Verse. What a fabulous set for the cards you make for the every day events in your life!!! In this case it's simply, Just For You! :)
I started with a base of Very Vanilla and layered with some aqua bazzill (pierced around the edge) and then some October Afternoon Thrift Shop DSP. I changed the rectangle panel to a Label 4 panel of vanilla, embossed and then ran my BG10 Copic around the edge (no more worrying about accidentally going over the edge because I have my Colourless Blender to push any mistakes back in!!!). I stamped the sentiment from All Occasions Sentiments and Verse in Memento London Fog and used the new Clear Horizontal Stamper which made it so easy to line up (because I am terribly lazy and hate having to get out the stamp-a-ma-jig!). Next I ruffled some of this GORGEOUS ruffled suede ribbon, attaching it with some X-press It High Tack Tape (which is totally brilliant I have to say!) and then added a paper flower that I made using the Spellbinders Dahlia die, accenting with some branches punched with matching card. To finish I added some Kaisercraft Blush Pearls under the sentiment and then a few more in the top corner (you can never have too many pearls! ;) ).
Stamps - All Occasions Sentiments and Verse (JustRite)
Paper - Very Vanilla, Aqua Bazzill, October Afternoon Thrift Shop DSP
Ink - Memento London Fog
Accessories - Copic BG10, Ivory Ruffled Suede Ribbon, Dahlia Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Branch Punch, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Kaisercraft Blush Pearls.
That's all for today, thanks for visiting!!!

US: Bourbon distillers up pressure for Kentucky tax reform
Kentucky Distillers' Association wants Bourbon tax repeal
Bourbon distillers, including Brown-Forman and Beam Global Spirits & Wine, have criticised tax laws in the US state of Kentucky for putting Bourbon at a competitive disadvantage to vodka and Scotch whisky.
The Kentucky Distillers' Association (KDA) has called for local politicians to support a bill that would significantly reduce the tax burden on Bourbon producers in the state. Around 95% of Bourbon is produced in Kentucky.
Bourbon sales have risen strongly in key export markets over the last five years, but producers are unhappy at Kentucky's ad valorem tax - a so-called 'barrel tax' - which cost the industry US$12m in 2010.
"That puts our distillers at a competitive disadvantage in the global spirits marketplace," said representatives of the KDA, including its chairman, Chris Morris, who is master distiller at Brown-Forman. "It's a tax that no other alcohol manufacturer pays in the US or around the world," said the representatives, who also include Diageo's director of operations in North America, Andrea Wilson, and Beam Global's director of operations for the Americas, Jeff Conder.
In a leader article in the Lexington Herald, they gave their support to Bill 418, which is currently under scrutiny in Kentucky's House Appropriations and Revenue Committee. The bill would nullify the barrel tax by installing tax credits for the state's Bourbon distillers.
Kentucky's Bourbon sector employs 10,000 people. According to the KDA, there is currently $100m being invested in Bourbon operations and tourism. Visitors to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail quadrupled in 2010, to 9,000.
Brown-Forman has reaffirmed its full-year profits and sales guidance after making a strong start to its fiscal year....

The Hunger games is a very mature book however it is regarded as one of the best and most entertaining book series of all time and rightfully so. The author, (Suzanne Collins), is renowned for some of her other works such as Gregor and the Overlander.
There are few issues with this book other than pacing between action and non action pages. However other than that this book is perfect. I also definitely recommend reading the book before watching the movie. I also recommend Gregor and the overlander.
The reason why I enjoyed this book is because of the amazing characters as they each have their own defining trait and skill, it is also a very thrilling story with great elements of plot. The world is very well constructed and each chapter adds a new aspect to this already thrilling story.
Overall I give this book a 9 out of 10. I am so glad that I read this book before the movies because the book is so thrilling and entertaining that It just might be better than the movie. I would definitely reread because there are some moments that are timeless. This is a great book and It is one of my top five books of all time.

Terry Richardson’s pregnant girlfriend Alexandra “Skinny” Bolotow has quite the baby bump.
The couple was spotted strolling the streets of New York City on Wednesday, enjoying coffee and light shopping.
Bolotow, who’s carrying twins, looked comfortable in her last trimester. She wore plain black pants, an oversize black shirt, a light jacket and flat shoes for her stroll. Richardson was equally casual in jeans and a tie-dye shirt.
In January, Bolotow, 32, and Richardson, 50, hosted a sex-themed baby shower that could have doubled for a bachelorette party. Instead of the traditional gender-reveal cake, the artistic couple opted for a dessert with a graphic image of Bolotow giving birth to twins on top. Guests were also treated to dirty gifts like condoms displayed with Bolotow’s sonogram that read “cumming soon.”
While the countdown is certainly on — Bolotow is expected to give birth this spring — Richardson has captured much of her pregnancy on Instagram. Not only has he photographed her bump in bondage, he captured their doctor’s house call.

After we had left the church, we went back to the car to smoke a cigarette and check if everything was alright despite our unorthodox parking space.
It was, so we went around the corner, because right across the church was the way in to the stroller factory. I knew about this place and had checked it out during the planning phase for the tour, but it had never struck me as especially interesting, but as we were standing in front of the two large old buildings, the desire grew to explore this once very successful company.
So we hopped over a small fence, squeezed through an opening in a construction fence and through a couple of bushes and we were on the premises.
We quickly found an open door into the first building and started our exploration. As expected, it was nothing much interesting, but with a nice staircase and some areas of beautiful decay.
The second building was unique for its huge halls with tall concrete pillars that were lit quite beautifully by the sun that was oozing in from the outside...

Brighton one of the best places in the world to study fashion and textiles says influential league table
15 Aug 2013
The University of Brighton Faculty of Art's industry-renowned fashion and textiles courses have scored high on a worldwide list of the best fashion schools by trend website Fashionista.com.
Taking into account programme curriculum, tuition, alumni, location, popularity and industry regard for both the Fashion and Textiles Design courses, the website placed Brighton 22nd in its international league table, and 5th out of all UK institutions.
Malcolm McInnes, subject leader for Fashion and Textiles, said: "The increased international and national interest of talented students drawn to study Fashion at Brighton is testimony to the perfect balance of skills we offer on both the MDes and BA(Hons) courses.
"A curriculum driving subject-specific skills in design and making, industry knowledge and experience together with entrepreneurial ambition is key to a student's success from the programme. The experience and diversity of staff through the quality of teaching keep inquiry at the heart of the learning environment to ensure fashion studies are relevant to the industry."
This experience and diversity is informed by cross-discipline fashion and textile research which uses both traditional and technology driven exploration. This research builds upon Brighton's long history of craftsmanship, materiality and social engagement by combining cutting edge technologies with the opportunity to utilise its materials laboratories. Established and emerging themes include heritage and sustainability; new technologies and materials; digital design and wellbeing.
High-profile former fashion students include Barbara Hulanicki and Julien Macdonald, while two recent graduates have been recognised with industry awards: Harriet Toogood won the 'Space' textile prize by Texprint for her "bold and woven fabrics," while Sophia Messina has been nominated in a national competition run by clothing retailer H&M for her use of straw in footwear design.

President Joe Biden’s selection of Merrick Garland and Vanita Gupta shows how insidious and unserious his calls for unity are.
Judge Merrick Garland, Biden’s nominee for attorney general, dodged a question about his opinion on biological males playing in female sports, saying it’s a “very difficult societal question.”
Hearings for president Joe Biden’s attorney general nominee, former federal Judge Merrick Garland, will launch Monday. He has some conflicts of interest.
Big tech’s election interference to propel Biden in 2020 appears it will pay off, as he considers tech-friendly lawyers to lead the DOJ antitrust division.
While many corporate media publications labeled Garland a ‘moderate,’ The New York Times aligned him in 2016 politically and ideologically left of SCOTUS Justices Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer.
Had Democrats given Trump’s judicial nominees due respect and consideration, they could have had more influence over Barrett’s nomination process.
Romney says his highest duty is to the Constitution. Now is the time to prove it.
Merrick Garland was nominated to the Supreme Court in 2016 after Justice Antonin Scalia died, opening a seat on the bench in the middle of an election year.
Ginsburg’s advice against such schemes was sound, but her liberal fans will stop at nothing should they get the chance to change the Supreme Court.
The idea of an executive branch or SCOTUS nominee being confirmed by a Senate controlled by the opposing party may very well be dead.
Brett Kavanaugh takes his seat amid debates about the Supreme Court’s ‘legitimacy,’ with substantial portions of the population thinking he’s a rapist.
Whatever happens to the Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats have normalized another illiberal position in their pretend crusade to save America from Donald Trump.
If judges are a vindication of Trump, are they also a vindication of Mitch McConnell? And if so, does a good Supreme Court really compensate for a lousy Congress?
Democrats are trying to use Mitch McConnell’s 2016 political maneuvering against him, saying that the Senate should halt the nomination process until after the election.
Our discourse is full of rhetorical terms used to frighten or cajole the public in a given direction. But these words don’t mean what you think they mean.
It looks like Senate Democrats will block the nomination of Neil Gorsuch. It also means the end of the filibuster. Which is a shame.
They should follow the precedent Harry Reid set in 2013, and confirm Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch with 51 votes instead of 60.
Senate Republicans can confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominees without using the filibuster-killing nuclear option. Here’s how.
Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director of the Judicial Crisis Network, joins Federalist Radio to discuss the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch.
The Supreme Court was specifically designed to avoid almost every idea term-limit advocates think bolsters their arguments.

WOODROW — Jeff Caffey was wiping tears out of his eyes down on the field.
The Slaton head football coach said out loud to no one in particular that he wished the feeling could be felt forever after the Tigers' emotional 36-28 victory Thursday over Brownfield in the bi-district round of the Class 3A Division I playoffs at Lubbock-Cooper’s Pirate Stadium at United Park.
It took everything Slaton had to dispose of the Cubs, including the clutch play of a familiar face.
In the final four minutes, sophomore quarterback Eli Martinez scored two touchdowns and recorded a late interception to ensure Slaton would play past Thanksgiving.
“I’ve told them all week that it was going to be a dogfight to win this and they perceived and found a way to win,” said Caffey, whose team improved to 8-4. “It’s what we had talked about all year. Taking one game at a time and one play at a time, and everything would fall in the right place. They did that tonight.”
Martinez, who scored three touchdowns through the air and three on the ground, turned a 28-24 deficit nearing the four-minute mark into a lead on a 10-yard run.
Tigers defensive back Quevon McDaniel’s interception two plays later put the ball right back in Slaton's hands.
Martinez took the clock from 3:21 to 1:01 and delivered another blow on a 9-yard run on third-and-6 just after Brownfield (7-4) used its final timeout.
Still, the Cubs had a chance down just eight points.
Quarterback Brock Sires marched the Brownfield offense past midfield before throwing an interception to Martinez at the Slaton 4-yard line when it came time to begin taking shots at the end zone as the clock moved under 40 seconds.
“He’s one special kid,” Caffey said of Martinez. “He has great football instinct. He’s irreplaceable, is special and will continue to be special for a long time.”
Brownfield took a 22-16 lead — its third of the night — with 10:36 to play on an 11-yard run by Sires, but, in a game dictated by two-point conversions, it was a dead heat going into the fourth quarter at 22-22.
The Cubs got back on top 28-24 on a 2-yard run by Sires, but his two-point pass was intercepted by Zach Schniers and returned for two points the other way.
That’s when Martinez really came alive.
Momentum turned briefly Slaton’s way in the final five seconds of the first half when Brownfield defensive back Armando Mojica deflected a ball away from the Tigers’ intended receiver and into the hands of Laz Galindo, who just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
The score allowed Slaton to tie the game before going up on a Galindo two-point reception from Eli Martinez for a 16-14 lead at the break.
Slaton seemed like it was going to take a stranglehold on the game early up 8-0 after Martinez’s 21-yard strike to Jairo Soto with Martinez tacking on a two-point run.
However, it struggled with snaps in the first quarter toward four total fumbles in the period, and the fourth one resulted in a 44-yard loss and Cubs possession at the Tigers’ 33.
Chili Morin ran in from three yards five plays later and John Thomas’ reception on the two-point try tied the game.
Brock Sires found Nikko Vela from 24 yards out in the second quarter to give Brownfield a short-lived 14-8 lead.
“This was a special night,” Caffey said. “I don’t want it to end.”
Player of the Game
Eli Martinez, So., QB, Slaton
Martinez scored five total touchdowns.
Brownfield dropped a sure 64-yard touchdown in the first half and got no points on the drive.
Slaton will face Brock in the area round at a time, date and location to be determined.
