|MUSIC||MARCO ANTÔNIO GUIMARÃES|
|LIGHT||PAULO PEDERNEIRAS, GABRIEL PEDERNEIRAS|
|WORLD PREMIERE||AUGUST 5, 2015, BELO HORIZONTE|
|LENGTH OF PERFORMANCE||42 MIN|
Created to celebrate Grupo Corpo’s 40th anniversary, Symphonic Dance is built on the memorialist theme proposed by Artistic Director, Paulo Pederneiras. In this first symphony created especially for the Minas Gerais dance company, Marco Antônio Guimarães, the author of anthological works such as 21 (1992) and Bach (1996), combines a sophisticated plot with original pieces and evocative musical passages from ballets recently produced by Grupo Corpo. The set of themes, written masterfully for the 90-member Philharmonic Orchestra of Minas Gerais, and interconnected by ingenious musical bridges performed by the Uakti group, allows Rodrigo Pederneiras to revisit the best works from the group’s entire repertoire, and also to process, with the experience accumulated through decades of working on detachment of form, a kind of synthesis of a choreographic scripture assembled over 34 years of residence at the company.
Taken from the private collections of professionals who have collaborated with or had an influence on the trajectory of Grupo Corpo over these 40 years Grupo C – from dancers and maîtres de ballet to technicians and stewards – over a thousand informal photographic snapshots make up the 8m x 16m backdrop panel, establishing the mood for the show.
In contrast to the everyday character of the situations represented in the photographs, wine-red velvet curtains cover the base of the theater while the legs of the dancers are covered in tights of the same color, giving the performance a discrete air of solemnity.

Protecting a family home from foreclosure is a serious and stressful concern for many families and homeowners, including in Tennessee. There are ways that the bankruptcy process may help. One option may be the Chapter 13 bankruptcy process that, in addition to helping struggling individuals reorganize their debt, can also potentially provide options to help avoid foreclosure.
For individuals with overwhelming debt burdens, the daily stress can be significant. The Chapter 13 bankruptcy process may be available to individuals who have a reliable source of income to enjoy relief from foreclosure and relief from debt. The Chapter 13 bankruptcy process allows a filing individual to reorganize their debt into more manageable payments so that they can repay their debts according to a repayment plan developed with the help of the bankruptcy court and approved by the bankruptcy court.
In addition, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be an option to consider to help stop foreclosure. Once a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition has been filed, an automatic stay goes into effect that prevents all creditor collection actions from proceeding. This includes foreclosure actions. The foreclosure process is stopped once the filing party files for bankruptcy. The past-due mortgage payments may then be brought current over a reasonable period of time.
One of the greatest concerns individuals facing financial struggles may have is saving their family home from foreclosure. Because the bankruptcy process provides different options to help individuals in different circumstances, it is useful to understand how the available options work and may help them during a tough time.

Every winter I step up my exercise/not-eating-like-a-pig routine. I’m just not as active in the winter, plus all those frigging holidays (pie! pie! COOKIES!) really mess with me because I have the self-control of a gnat.
I have been mildly obsessed with smoothie bowls for a few months now. In past years I would generally have a smoothie after exercising in the morning, but then I stumbled upon the world of smoothie bowls. A smoothie. In a bowl. With crunchy stuff added on top, so you’re actually eating something, as opposed to drinking your breakfast.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, per se, but drinking your meals just feels restrictive after awhile.
I have no set recipe when I make a smoothie bowl. There are three basics – it always has almond milk (because I don’t like cow’s milk), yogurt, and a banana. Sometimes I add berries and spinach, sometimes just peanut butter, sometimes oatmeal, etc.
Now I realize that this might seem like “diet food,” or something as equally unappetizing, but I find smoothie bowls delicious. And they are convenient, as you can really cram a lot of nutrients and fruit into one meal. The chocolate peanut butter bowl is one of my favorites, and here’s how I make it.
Step One – get thee a blender. I use a little $10 personal blender, but anything works.
Step Two – the good stuff. I add about 1/3 cup of milk in the bottom and add the banana. Then about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. About 1/3 cup of yogurt, a handful of oats, and either a tablespoon of honey to sweeten it, or about 3 drops of liquid stevia.
(Side note here – powdered stevia is horrifying. Just…awful. The liquid is better and has minimal aftertaste. It’s relatively expensive, but a drop or two is all that is needed for most things.)
Step Three – blend away.
Step Four – top with the good stuff. I like a big handful of unsalted peanuts in this particular bowl.
And then devour the damn thing. It’s like a peanut buttery, chocolatey soup. Yum.
In case anyone is wondering, yes, the smoothie bowls are filling. I think adding the crunchy stuff on top really helps, and you are not limited to nuts. You can top a bowl with anything – seeds, nuts, granola, head cheese, whatever.
So go forth and blend.
See you later!

The shadow Leader of the House oversees the Conservative party’s policy on MPs’ expenses and quickly agreed to repay the money after being questioned over the claims by The Daily Telegraph. He had initially insisted all his claims had been approved by the fees office.
His claims raise serious questions about whether expenses by some MPs can be justified as necessary for parliamentary work. Only the costs of basic maintenance are supposed to be claimed. In a three-year period, he recouped more than £4,000, with a gardener being paid for up to 16 hours a week for work at his constituency home.
However, a bill for £3,194 for gardening in March 2007 was rejected by the fees office, which wrote suggesting that the claim might not be “within the spirit” of the rules. In the same month, Mr Duncan also claimed £598 to overhaul a ride-on lawnmower and £41 to fix a puncture.
He also claimed £1,400 a month for the mortgage interest on his home in a village in Rutland.
Mr Duncan, whose popularity among Conservative supporters has plummeted in the wake of the expenses scandal, has a multi-million pound fortune built up in the oil industry. His designated main home in Westminster has also attracted controversy and he resigned from John Major’s Government after questions over his housing transactions.

Cemeteries and Crematoria as public spaces of belonging in Europe: a study of migrant and minority cultural inclusion, exclusion and integration
This project will examine cemeteries and crematoria ‘gardens’ as public spaces of social inclusion, exclusion and integration, with a particular focus on migrant and Established Minority experience, needs and provision, and how these intersect with established practices in the North West of Europe.
Cemeteries are multifunctional public spaces where funerary services are provided; they are ‘sacred’ in the widest sense; they are also seen as ‘green spaces’ and frequently used as public parks by local residents. This means that a wide range of citizensm with their different interests and activities, converge on cemeteries as shared public spaces. In such shared spaces, misunderstanding and conflict can arise over diverse uses and meanings, but on the other hand, communities of shared experience and understanding can be enhanced in such spaces. The use and management of these important but understudied public spaces can tell us much about the everyday lived experiences and negotiations of urban diversity, social inclusion and exclusion in multicultural North West Europe. Improving understanding of varied meanings, uses and practices through dialogue and co-production of management strategies will enhance cross-cultural understanding and interaction, and inform planning for diversity-ready cemeteries.

Multicultural societies in a global ‘Age of Migration’ (Photo by Avril Maddrell)
CeMi will examine 8 large NW European municipalities across six countries. Each case study has a similar population (circa 110,000 – 150,000) and significant foreign-born/ ethnic minority populations. They cover a range of economic regions, have socially, culturally and ethnically diverse populations, including long-standing established ethnic minority communities and more recent EU and Third Country National (TCN) migrants. Mixed participatory research methods will be used to study issues and experiences from multiple perspectives, including cemetery and crematoria providers, planners, civil society organisations and grassroots users. The project will produce academic publications, policy–briefing reports and recommendations (co-produced with project participants and translated into multiple European and TNC languages) and a travelling exhibition with creative activities. This will provide feedback to municipalities and encourage ongoing dialogue between the providers and the varied users of these important and sensitive public spaces.

text: The coupling between structural support and protection makes biological systems an important source of inspiration for the development of advanced smart composite structures. In particular, some particular material configurations can be implemented into traditional composites in order to improve their impact resistance and the out-of-plane properties, which represents one of the major weakness of commercial carbon fibres reinforced polymers (CFRP) structures. Based on this premise, a three-dimensional twisted arrangement shown in a vast multitude of biological systems (such as the armoured cuticles of Scarabei, the scales of Arapaima Gigas and the smashing club of Odontodactylus Scyllarus) has been replicated to develop an improved structural material characterised by a high level of in-plane isotropy and a higher interfacial strength generated by the smooth stiffness transition between each layer of fibrils. Indeed, due to their intrinsic layered nature, interlaminar stresses are one of the major causes of failure of traditional CFRP and are generated by the mismatch of the elastic properties between plies in a traditional laminate. Since the energy required to open a crack or a delamination between two adjacent plies is due to the difference between their orientations, the gradual angle variation obtained by mimicking the Bouligand Structures could improve energy absorption and the residual properties of carbon laminates when they are subjected to low velocity impact event. Two different bioinspired laminates were manufactured following a double helicoidal approach and a rotational one and were subjected to a complete test campaign including low velocity impact loading and compared to a traditional quasi-isotropic panel. Fractography analysis via X-Ray tomography was used to understand the mechanical behaviour of the different laminates and the residual properties were evaluated via Compression After Impact (CAI) tests. Results confirmed that the biological twisted structures can be replicated into traditional layered composites and are able to enhance the out-of-plane properties without a dangerous degradation of the in-plane properties.

When it comes to vegan desserts things can get a bit tricky. No milk, no butter, no eggs. So instead you have things like almond milk, coconut oil and flax eggs.
And what the hell is a flax egg you ask…
Don’t worry, I just figured this out about two years ago myself. It’s just ground flax seeds mixed with water. Totally doable.
But today we are starting you guys out with something super easy and delicious. Our gluten free, vegan Chocolate Almond Butter Rice Crispy Treats are a no bake dessert that everyone will love! The hardest part is not eating them all at once. 🙂
- 1 cup of creamy almond butter/natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of raw honey or agave
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of raw cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 cups of brown rice cereal (we used Erewhon)
- Raw cocoa nibs or mini chocolate chips for the top (Sunspire for vegan option)
- In a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, stir together the almond butter, honey and vanilla extract.
- Mix in the raw cocoa powder.
- In a separate medium bowl, pour in one cup of brown rice cereal.
- Pour in the almond butter/honey mixture into the bowl and mix through.
- Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of brown rice cereal (one cup at a time) and mix through.
- Press mixture into a glass baking pan.
- Sprinkle cocoa nibs or chocolate chips on top and press down.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Cut into squares.

By Marie Puleo
Officer Ryan Mullarney was recognized as Police Officer of the Year by Lighthouse Point Police Chief Ross Licata for his “outstanding work ethic” and accomplishments in 2018, which included actions he took to help save the lives of four Lighthouse Point residents who were in respiratory arrest from an opioid overdose.
Mullarney started his law enforcement career with the Lighthouse Point Police Department in 2011, serving as a dispatcher. In 2015, after completing his police training at the Broward Institute of Public Safety in Davie, he was sworn as a police officer.
Last year, Mullarney responded to four separate opioid emergency calls, and in each case, found an individual who was in dire physical condition — unconscious, barely breathing, with bluing lips and unresponsive to physical and verbal stimulation. In some cases, CPR was being administered, but to no avail.
As the first officer to arrive on the scene, Mullarney quickly identified the problem as a drug overdose, and using training he had recently acquired from Lighthouse Point paramedics, he administered naloxone, also known as Narcan, a medication designed to reverse the effects of opioid respiratory distress. All of the individuals — two men and two women ranging in age from their mid-30s to late-50s — survived.
“As you can see, here in Lighthouse Point, we have not been immune to the devastating effects of the nationwide opioid epidemic,” noted Chief Licata.
Opioid painkillers, which are highly addictive in nature, are largely being blamed as the root cause of the opioid epidemic. These prescription opioids include fentanyl and OxyContin.
Mullarney said that fentanyl has become a popular substance to add to street drugs, such as heroin.
“It’s kind of a universal precaution that you treat everything nowadays like it’s going to have fentanyl in it, because you don’t know if it does,” he said.
Mullarney said that in his eight years as an officer, he has seen an increase in opioid overdoses.
“When I worked in dispatch, you’d get them every now and again, but since I’ve been on the road the past couple of years, it’s really ramped up,” he said.
To combat opioid emergencies, all Lighthouse Point police officers now carry naloxone, while the city’s paramedics have their own supply. Mullarney said it’s important for officers to carry naloxone because it might take fire rescue a little bit longer to arrive on the scene, and “seconds count.”
As Police Officer of the Year, Mullarney was also recognized for his investigation and processing of a Lighthouse Point home burglary in which the intruder had broken a door window and received cuts while entering. Mullarney collected a small amount of blood trace evidence that led to a DNA hit on a violent offender from Fort Lauderdale. The subject, who had an extensive criminal history for robbery, aggravated assault with a firearm, drug trafficking, felony domestic violence and child abuse, was subsequently charged and arrested.
Mullarney also assisted in the investigation of an armed subject who was deemed to be a safety risk, which led to one of the first Risk Protection Orders issued in the state of Florida following the passage of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act in March 2018.
In addition, Mullarney serves as a field training officer for new recruits, and has been active in the annual Shop with a Cop and Special Olympics Tip a Cop programs, which raise thousands of dollars for area children and adults.
“I’m extremely proud of Ryan and his accomplishments,” said Licata. “He’s a fine young officer who is committed to providing our residents with quality policing and customer service, and this award is well-deserved.”
“It is a great privilege to receive this honor,” said Mullarney. “I am very grateful to my family, co-workers, supervisors and everyone else along the way who has inspired me to be the police officer that I am today.”

Reviewed by Madeline McElroy (age 7) for Reader Views (10/08)
“A Pony Legend” is about a girl named Meg who lost her pony named Foxy. Meg’s favorite thing to do was take care of her pony. One day in the Spring Foxy jumped over the fence and galloped across the meadow. A few weeks later a new pony came to Meg’s house. This pony was magical; he could read Meg’s mind.
Many weeks later Meg woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a horse neighing on the mountain. Then the magical pony Azure started neighing back to the sound on the mountain. It was Foxy on the mountain! She came back to Meg and Azure. This isn’t the end of the story; you should read this book and find out how magical Azure really is.
I like this book about ponies and I think other kids would like to read “A Pony Legend” by Lois K. Szymanski. Even though this book has no pictures it is still really good

When the heat is on, your customer’s HVAC system needs to be up to the task. The blower motor is like the heart of the HVAC system, pushing air through the vents to cool or heat the vehicle cabin. But we need to control the blower motor speed because no one enjoys hearing that fan spin at full blast, right?
So, if we apply 12 volts to the blower motor, it will spin up to its maximum speed and stay there. That’s where the blower motor resistor comes in. Resistance in a circuit changes some of the electrical energy into heat and causes the blower motor to spin more slowly.
But, let’s be clear, the blower motor resistor is the only place you want to find resistance in the electrical circuit. Improper harness connections can cause resistance and generate heat. This can eventually cause the wires, pins and/or the connectors to melt.
There are other potential causes of resistance in the circuit. A failing blower motor, a fan cage which is damaged or full of debris, a clogged cabin air filter, all of these can cause the blower motor to have to work harder, draw more amperage and generate more heat in the circuit.
Standard offers a full line of more than 770 blower motor resistors for import and domestic vehicles. These high-quality blower motor resistors are manufactured in Standard’s IATF 1649-certified North American facility, and are designed to match the original for easy installation and correct performance at every fan speed. On top of that, Standard engineers sample test every blower motor resistor for draw, resistance and RPM to ensure proper performance and reliability.
In addition, Blue Streak is proud to offer premium Blower Motor Resistor Kits as a high-quality solution for melted connectors and blower motor resistors. Blue Streak improves on the OE design to create a connector that withstands excessive heat, reducing failure. Each kit includes the needed blower motor resistor and problem-solving high-temp connector for a complete repair solution and is backed by the Blue Streak Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Former India skipper Jo Paul Ancheri has urged the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to appoint a highly pedigreed international coach for the men’s National Team following the departure of Stephen Constantine.
The Englishman vacated his post after India’s group-stage exit in the 2019 AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Asian Cup held in the UAE after a successful second stint which included a 13-match unbeaten run.
India started their campaign with a historic 4-1 win over Thailand before going down narrowly to hosts UAE by 2-0. The Blue Tigers required a draw against Bahrain in their final group clash to progress to the knockouts but their hearts were broken with an agonising 1-0 loss.
“Stephen has taken India to new heights - there are no doubts about it. Taking India through a long unbeaten streak of 13 matches was an unprecedented achievement,” Ancheri stated.
“Even in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, it was sheer poor luck with finishing which resulted in the team losing against the UAE, a game which they should have easily won.
“But I believe that time has now come for the AIFF to go one or two levels higher and recruit a more experienced foreign coach.”
Ancheri has advised the Indian FA to go for a name who can transform India into a top-10 team at the continental level.
“A foreign coach with more exposure in more developed European or Asian football cultures is now the need of the hour as India looks to take a step up towards becoming a top 10 Asian team,” the former India player explained.
With a possibility that the 2022 FIFA World Cup set to be a 48-team affair, India’s chances of qualifying for the tournament for the first in their history could receive a big boost but Ancheri feels there is a long way still to go before the team can dream of qualification.
India are currently ranked 101 in the world and 18th at the continental level and the Kerala-born former footballer believes India need to first break into the top 10 teams in Asia.
“Currently, the Indian national team is on the right track. But a lot of hard work will need to go in if we can go far in the Asian qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. Our target should be to reach the final round of Asian qualifiers,” Ancheri opined.
“Going by recent trends, I think we can aspire for World Cup qualification. However, I am not totally confident we can achieve it.
“Tactically and skill-wise, we have proven during the Asian Cup that we can match up with the good Asian sides. However, physical fitness and stamina is a concern.”
For the short-term future, Ancheri has advised India to aim for a spot in the final qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“If we work really hard and if our players are able to get some good match exposure in friendlies against some good Asian nations, making into the final round of qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup is a possibility,” he said in conclusion.

Queen Victoria's Secrets
An unconventional figure in an age that excluded women from government, Victoria was accorded prominence unavailable to any male monarch. Yet as Adrienne Munich argues in this fascinating work, the originality of the solid, dour icon that was Victoria lay, paradoxically, in her very ordinariness. The first book to fully investigate the influence of this icon of British history, Queen Victoria's Secrets demonstrates the firm grasp the queen held on the cultural imagination of her country, exploring how Victoria created and maintained her royal authority. Gracefully weaving together feminist, anthropological, and postcolonial approaches, Munich searches out the myriad, often contradictory incarnations of the queen in the minds of her people. How did Victoria convincingly maintain her power for forty years after Prince Albert's death, never giving up her identity as a grieving widow? How did Victorian society's reverential treatment of their queen conflate with the monarch's plain, middle class public image? These are some of the secrets Munich examines in her richly detailed work. In demonstrating the subtle but powerful ways in which Victoria performed significant cultural work, Queen Victoria's Secrets goes against the grain of Victoria scholarship, which has tended to overlook the queen's political and cultural centrality. This stylish, accessible portrait will be of great interest to those who are fascinated by the myth-making and secrets of the Victorian age.

Aluminum, Copper And Brass, Thin Steel Sheet Materials You Should Use For Your Projects And Work
In the United States, there are many people who work diligently to create projects, objects, products, and innovations that many Americans utilize on a daily basis. While there are various industries that do this, one such industry is the metal industry. In fact, were 138,900 metal sheet workers in the United States alone in 2016- this number steadily rises with each passing year. In addition, the United States receives $30 billion in revenue from the sheet metal industry. Lastly, the sheet metal market is expected to grow at a rate of 4.09% until 2022.
Overall, the metal industry is successful to say the least. If you work as a sheet metal worker, or if you work in the metal industry, here are different types of metals you can utilize for your projects and work. Are you ready for aluminum, copper and brass, and thin steel sheet?
Aluminum is typically defined as a silvery-white, soft, non-magnetic and ductile metal in the boron group. It is also defined as the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust and the third most abundant element. These are all quite positive qualities of aluminum which cause workers to want to use them for their projects and work. Additionally, many companies opt for aluminum compared to other types of metals.
If you haven’t used aluminum in your company for your work, here are some reasons why you should:
The Benefits Of Aluminum
Corrosion Isn’t Present: Some metals are subjected to corrosion or rust when they are exposed to the Earth’s elements- this is traditionally water from rain type weather conditions. However, aluminum does not corrode when exposed to liquid. This is certainly a benefit, because your company and fellow employees can continue working with this metal regardless of the weather.
Durable: Many people inaccurately assume that stainless steel is the metal that has durability. Aluminum is also very durable. This is beneficial for the company you work for, and your projects and work, because aluminum will not break or become ruined very easily. You can manipulate it as you see fit, and nothing negative will occur with the metal.
Finishing: Certain metals only have a specific number of finishing choices once you are done with your project or work and need to finish it. This limits yourself and the products your company produces. However, with aluminum, you are not limited in this area. This is because aluminum has many, many options you can choose from! In addition, because of this, you’re guaranteed to find the right fit. This will then lead you to creating the most ideal product with aluminum.
Copper And Brass
Copper Brass is another metal you should consider for your company, projects, and work. Copper and brass are different than aluminum because they are considered red metals. If you want a metal with a slight tint for your projects and work, copper and brass is for you.

Weather: A thin steel sheet is not damaged by weather conditions very easily.
Strong: A thin steel sheet is very strong and vulnerable.

Investigation officer of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Imran Dogar in the Avenfield properties reference against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his family has said that NAB investigations proved that Nawaz Sharif was the owner of the Avenfield properties while holding the public office.
Imran stated this during the resumed recording of his statement in the court today.
“London flats were purchased through the offshore companies using someone else’s name to hide the ownership,” he told the court.
The investigation officer stated, Nawaz and his family failed to provide any source of income for purchasing these properties, he also added that Nawaz Sharif and his family were using London flats since 1993.
Nawaz Sharif and daughter Maryam Nawaz could not appear before the court due to rough weather in Lahore.
Maryam Nawaz’s attorney Amjad Pervez also failed to appear before the court for the same reason his associate counsel submitted a power of attorney on behalf of his client.
The Avenfield properties reference is among three cases filed against Nawaz and his family by NAB in 2017 on the Supreme Court’s directives.

China's stony deserts fall to 12 mln hectares.
"Stony deserts have been shrinking at an annual rate of 1.27 percent over the past few years," Zhang Yongli, deputy director of the State Forestry Administration (SFA), said at a press conference.
"The spread of stony deserts has initially been brought under control, and the ecological environment in Karst regions has greatly improved," Zhang said.
Afforestation and vegetation protection, the adjustment of rural energy structure and the application of modern agricultural technologies contributed a lot to the ecological restoration in the stony desert regions, according to Zhang.
However, Zhang also warned that the country still faces severe challenges in fighting desertification, as stony deserts still cover 120,000 square km of land and destructive farming practices, excessive land reclamation and overgrazing, still exist in some poor rural regions.
"Frequent natural disasters such as droughts and freezing weather have also posed difficulties in combating desertification," Zhang said.
Currently, more than 50 million people live in the rocky regions, where desertification has resulted due to water shortages, soil erosions and persistent poverty.
"Stony desertification and poverty are like 'twin brothers,' so we combined the work to control stony desertification with the efforts to improve local people's livelihoods," said Liu Tuo, head of the Desertification Control Center under the SFA.
Farmers had been encouraged to grow cash crops on stony lands to improve vegetation and increase earnings. Their per capita incomes has recently grown by 12.5 percent annually, Liu said.
The country will intensify efforts to prevent the spread of stony deserts and continue to increase investment in environmental improvement, Liu said. (Xinhua-ANI)

The NRL has announced a host of rule changes for the 2021 season, per NRL Media.
The league has made these changes with the aim of making the game "faster, more free-flowing, entertaining and unpredictable".
The ARL Commission met on Friday morning - made up of Wayne Pearce, Peter V'landys, Graham Annesley, Craig Bellamy, Ricky Stuart, Matt Cecchin, Luke Keary and Damien Cook - to discuss the recommendations on Monday from the newly formed innovation committee.
The following rule changes will take effect from 2021.
- Two points for field goals outside the 40m line
- Six Again for 10 metre infringements
- Penalties for teams if they leave a scrum before a referee calls "break"
- Play the ball restart after ball or player finds touch
- The Bunker will now review replays after an on-field referee awards a try but a conversion attempt will not be allowed until it gets the green light
- Injured players will be interchanged if a trainer ask for play to be stopped
- When a captain's challenge is inconclusive a team will not be docked for an unsuccessful attempt
- A handover will be ordered when a player does not make a genuine attempt to play the ball correctly with their foot
V'landys was excited to see a more entertaining brand of rugby league in 2021.
"The message from the fans and our broadcasters has been clear - the game became too predictable and the balance between attack and defence had gone too far in favour of defence," he told NRL Media.
"Our changes last year were successful in addressing some of those challenges and the changes announced today will take the element of unpredictability and entertainment a step further."

Acting Director Mick Mulvaney, her predecessor, made a push for the agency to be called the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection -- its name designed in Dodd-Frank -- but Kraninger said in an email publicly released that the agency will stop those efforts. "I have officially halted all ongoing efforts to make changes to existing products and materials related to the name correction initiative," she said. "My birth certificate says Kathleen, but I also answer to Kathy. I think we can do the same here," she added.

Ringworm is a type of fungal infection occurring on the skin of a person. Ringworm does not involve the presence of any kind of actual worms whatsoever. It is so named because of the circular scaly infection on the skin, which almost appears as if a worm is present beneath the skin.
Why the fungi arise on the skin is unclear. However, these skin infections are highly contagious, so people coming in contact with those already having the disease could naturally develop the ringworm lesions. The fungi also require warm and moist conditions to thrive in. People working in waterlogged conditions or those walking barefoot on wet floors near swimming pools; public washrooms etc could all develop ringworm based on their immunity levels.
Symptoms of Ringworm:
Reddish, scaly or white patches on the skin.
The lesions may appear raised and blistered.
The circular lesion might have a clearing in the center.
Hair loss is a common side effect of this disease. Ringworm of scalp especially is characterized by patchy hair loss where the hair might be bent and broken at an odd angle. Dandruff might also be present. Thankfully, there are many effective homeopathic remedies for ringworm on scalp.
Though mostly ringworm is treated with conventional medicines and allopathic treatment, there are certain recurring ringworms on which traditional medicines slowly lose effect. Such infections can be controlled and cured with the help of homeopathic medicines.
Homeopathy is based on the principle of ‘like curing like’. This means, the homeopath takes a bit of the plant material, deactivates it and just like a vaccine, infuses the patient’s body with small quantities of it. Popular homeopathic remedies for treating ringworm are:
Sepia: It is obtained from the ink of a squid. It has been found that contact with the squid causes symptoms similar to the ones caused by ringworms. Thus, it is a remarkable cure for this disease. However, before actually administering this medicine, the homeopath doctor would ask several questions to understand the nature of the disease occurring to you. Such questions would include your sensitivity to heat and cold or how many times in the past has ringworm infected you. Only when the practitioner is sure of the fact that sepia is the correct treatment, would he prescribe it to you. This is a great cure for ringworms occurring in children as well.
Sulphur: Ringworms not only affect a person on the skin of his/her body, it might also occur on the scalp. These ringworms can cause a lot of itching, irritation, hair loss, pus in the scalp etc. For treating such types of ringworm, one can apply sulphur-based creams or ointments on the affected area on the scalp. Sulphur is seen to help in fighting the ringworms and thus providing relief from all the itching and irritation on the scalp.
Rhus Toxicodendron: This medicine is obtained when leaves of the poison ivy plants are distilled overnight. Contact with poison ivy leaves also causes similar symptoms as ringworms and thus, it is known to be a good cure for the disease.
Ringworms on Animals-
At times, even animals like cats and dogs can be affected by ringworms. Symptoms would include loss of hair in patches, itchy hair, white or blackish patches on the body and others. A specialised vet should be referred to for a medicated shampoo besides a homeopath. Medicines like Sepia or Chrysarobinum are administered to treat ringworms in animals.
Thus, ringworm is a very common form of a disease and is easily treatable whether in humans or animals. One would need to follow the course of their medicine and take to patience for getting it cured as soon as possible. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a homeopath.

I don’t want to be just another thing mary elizabeth is in charge of
…children are at heart selfish, and reasonably so, for they are programmed for survival.
If I had a daughter, here’s what I’d tell her:
One day, when you’ve worked hard for what you want, when people see that you are confident and intelligent and that you recognize your own self-worth, when you take care of yourself, support yourself, and stand up for yourself, that is the day that the world will call you “a cruel and selfish bitch.”
It’s a tough title to earn and you should be and proud of it.
A man, who unconditionally does agree to the unstated clause that it is only he who has to say always SORRY and never she under any damn situation, is only eligible and entitle to marry a woman.
Sacrifice of the self is sheer stupidity if sacrifice is not for the self.
Failure doesn’t means falling down; it means hiding somewhere to safeguard own interest.
Selfishness is one of the most destructive forces in man that is why life demands for its death.
If your love for another person doesn’t include loving yourself then your love is incomplete.
A person has to be too much selfish to fulfill own wish of being surrounded by many people often, else s/he feels suffocated due to hatred or hidden jealousy from the most public around her/him.
I knew what it felt like to have no say in who you were as a sexual being. It didn’t just strip away your dignity. It stripped away everything you were: your identity, your self-respect, your pleasure. Because it was all about the pleasure of the other person take, take, taking whatever they wanted from you, even if it was uncomfortable, or caused you pain. Even if you died from it, the other person still wouldn’t care, because it was all about them.

Tucked in between the Pisuerga and Esgueva rivers in the Castile and Leon region in northeastern Spain is the capital city bearing the same name of the province of Valladolid.
In its glory days, the historic city was once home to the royalty of Castile and was even the seat of power of the Kingdom of Spain. Natural disasters, politics and wars all took their toll on the city down the ages and what was left of its former splendid past was all the historic architecture. Nevertheless, Valladolid remains to be one of the major economic centers in the province, a cultural and culinary artery and a respected name in the field of wine production.
It is relatively easy to explore Valladolid on foot – most of the interesting attractions are within walking distances from each other. There are plazas or squares that offer a leisurely exploration of the city’s historic sites such as the Plaza Mayor with its aristocratic houses, the Town Hall and the Palace of Los Pimentel, now used as the seat of the Provincial Council. Its main attraction is the state museum, the Museo de Esculturas.
One of the oldest museums in the country, the 15th century building is by itself an emblematic structure in the city. More impressive however is its collection of ornate and gilded polychrome sculpture, an art form that was popularized in Valladolid as well as art pieces from the Iberian Peninsula from the 13th to the 19th centuries.
Works of Spanish artists such as Alonso Berruguete, Juan de Juni and Gregorio Fernandez are on display in the museum. Former residences of its famous natives are also now part of the tourist attractions – Casa de Cervantes was where Miguel de Cervantes penned his masterpiece Don Quijote; the Christopher Columbus Museum was built on the former house of the conquistador and now displays memorabilia related to the discovery of the Americas; and the 19th century house of Spanish Romantix writer Jose Zorilla.
Finally there are medieval churches worth visiting like the “unfinished” Cathedral where polychrome sculptures of Juni can be seen, and the 17th century Iglesia de San Pablo.
Being in a region blessed with a good terroir, Valladolid counts among the best producers of wine in the country. Wine tours are part of the tourist activities in the city and the province as well, with prominent districts such as Vega Sicilia, Ribera del Duero, Cigales and Rueda parts of the routes. In terms of culinary legacies, Valladolid is credited for the suckling baby pig (cochinillo) and suckling baby lamb (lechazo), both praised far and wide for their tender, succulent meat and crispy skin (it is even said that the flesh is so soft and tender that you only need a plate or a saucer to cut through it).
There are two important dates in Valladolid –Easter, which is declared an even of International Tourist Interest, and the International Film Festival of Seminci in October. Of late, Valladolid also hosts the International Tapas Competition where the city comes alive with the flavors and smells of this creative and scrumptious bites.

Eleven years after two men were attacked and left for dead, President Obama signed legislation named for them. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act expands existing hate crime protections to outlaw attacks based on sexual orientation or gender, in addition to race, color, religion or national origin. Matthew Shepard, a gay teenager, was pistol whipped and left to die on a cold Wyoming October night and James Byrd, an African American Texas man, was tied and dragged by a pickup truck until he too died. Incidents four months apart but forever linked by the nature of their brutality.
President Obama offered words of praise and encouragement to those who worked tirelessly on the Hate Crimes Prevention Act legislation. "You understand we must stand against crimes that are meant not only to break break bones but to break spirits. Not only to inflict harm but to instill fear," the President told a crowd of activists gathered in the East Room celebrating the legislation. The President cited statistics by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of more than 12,000 reported hate crimes based on sexual orientation over the last 10 years. He noted that many incidents are never even reported.
President Obama stood at the podium with teary family members of Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. "No one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hands of the person they love. No one in America should be forced to look over their shoulder because of who they are or because they live with a disability," the President said.
The Hate Crimes Prevention Act was attached to the $680 billion Defense Authorization Bill that President Obama signed into law Wednesday afternoon. President Bush had threatened to veto a similar hate crimes measure. Opponents of the bill fear the law could be used to criminalize conservative or religious speech who might consider homosexuality a sin.

Poetry can be more than just word art
Poetry is an art form in writing, but there are ways that you can turn it into visual art as well to expand the audience for your work.
Many of us love to write poetry. It’s a way to express ourselves, and it’s a form of written art. However, poetry can be hard to sell and hard to get out into the public eye. By turning your poetry into visual art you can gain exposure for your work and draw in a whole new audience.
Using Traditional Media
If you have skill in traditional art forms like drawing or painting, you can create images and add your words to them. You can add your poetry either directly to the art itself, or as an attachment that will be sold with the piece. If you can paint calligraphy or other artistic lettering, the poem itself can be the art.
Using Digital Media
If you can’t paint or draw, you can go digital instead. You’ll have the ability to choose from any artistic font you please. You’ll also be able to add backgrounds and other visual enhancements to the piece. The sky is the limit. There are even many sites online that provide artistic backgrounds free of charge for commercial use. These sites are an excellent resource if you can’t create your own art.
Selling the Work
Once you have turned your poetry into art, the next step is selling it. For paintings and drawings you can sell on art sites, at art shows or other traditional venues. If you’ve gone digital you can sell your work on art sites or POD sites.
POD sites (Print On Demand) like Zazzle are a good place to sell your art. You can place your work on prints, cards and other paper goods, or even shirts and coffee mugs. You can use POD sites for your traditional media art too, all you have to do is take a high-quality photo of the piece and upload it to the site.
Get creative when turning your poems into visual art. You can even use scrapbooking techniques as a way to create your art. By expanding what you do with your poetry you can reach a larger market, and even get people interested in poetry that never were before. Turning your poetry into art also has the added benefit of adding more emotion to the piece. People are visually stimulated, so seeing images that relate to the words will bring your writing to life for the reader.

Race relations might be the third rail of American culture, but a clear and decisive response is essential when your company makes the news for a racially charged incident.
Your PR team might be inclined to avoid highlighting the matter. You might want to issue a holding statement, investigate properly and wait for the hubbub to die down. However, in today’s charged political atmosphere and social media news cycle, waiting would be a disastrous first move.
That’s what GM discovered after news reports of harassment of black workers at a plant in Toledo, Ohio. Workers reported nooses, verbal threats and other mistreatment, leading to a lawsuit against the carmaker.
Pictures taken by black workers at a General Motors plant in Ohio show the level of abuse they had to endure, as they sue the company for discrimination.

Former prime minister Raila Odinga has called for a peaceful transition of power in Tanzania following the death of president John Pombe Magufuli.
In a statement on his social media pages on Thursday, March 18, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader said he had learnt about the 61-year-old's death with deep sadness.
In his condolence message, Raila asked the country to observe democratic ideals laid by Tanzania's founding father Julius Nyerere.
"At this moment of sorrow, I call on the Tanzanian nation to remain united and peaceful. I appeal to the nation to fall back to the tradition set by Mwalimu Nyerere," Raila said.
Magufuli died on Wednesday, March 18, at 6pm according to Tanzanian Vice President Samia Suluhu.
The Chama cha Mapinduzi leader had been missing in action for weeks, raising concerns about his whereabouts.
The head of state said Africa had lost an illustrious leader who had a passion for leadership and development.
"On behalf of the government and people of Kenya, I convey our sincere condolences to the First lady of Tanzania Janeth Magufuli, their children, the entire Magufuli family and indeed affirm our deep solidarity with the government and people of Tanzania during this challenging time. Tanzania remains in our thoughts and prayers,” Uhuru said.

Campaigners say efforts to stamp out custom of banishing girls and women during menstruation have been set back by Covid
Anita Chand, from Baitadi district, in the west of the country, bordering India, is understood to have died on Wednesday from a snake bite while she was sleeping. Her death is the first reported fatality from chhaupadi since 2019 and campaigners fear progress to eliminate the practice is being eroded.

Here are some photos of a customer's quilt that I recently finished custom quilting for her. The pattern is called Sea Swept and this is a large quilt at 93" x 102". I think it turned out really nice looking, as you can imagine the customer had to be very careful in her piecing to get everything turned exactly the right way and not have any mistakes. She did a great job.

Hello, everyone. This has been a VERY busy year for me at AMQ. As such, I won't be able to take on any NEW customers until early 2020. I will still be able to quilt for my existing customers as usual, however. This move is to allow me to get caught up on work in the queue for existing customers and better manage my turnaround for existing work and future work as well. So if you've already brought me work in the past, or contacted me for your project, then please feel free to continue bringing me projects to quilt for you. I just won't be able to take on any NEW customers until early 2020 at the earliest when I'll reevaluate where things stand at that point. Thanks for understanding.
Below are some photos of a customer's quilt that I finished custom quilting for her this evening. It is called a Millefiori quilt based on the style. She hand pieced the entire thing, I believe she said it took her 2 years to do so. I started quilting it 16 days ago, so it took me a while, too. :) It measures 93" x 93" and I used 9 different colors of thread in doing the quilting of it. I went through 15 bobbins of thread, which ties my record for the most used on one quilt, I've only used that many on one other quilt. I think it's a beautiful quilt, heirloom stuff.

The French world has immense influence in the cooking industry. French chefs like Georges Auguste Escoffier, Pierre Hermé, and Jean-Christophe Novelli among others have a remarkable influence in the industry.
French restaurants are popular for meals as:
- Cassoulet: this dish is made up of white beans, duck legs and pork (different kinds).
- Poulet Basquaise: this dish is spiced with Bayoone ham, peppers, tomatoes and espelette pepper.
- Escargots au Beurre Persillé: also known as ‘herb buttered snails’.
- Breton Buckwheat Pancake: this dish is spiced with ham, cheese, and eggs or andouille and onion.
- Raclette: this dish is made of cheese and eaten with potatoes, cold meat, onions and pickles.
- Bouillabaisse: a soup with a perfect combo of mustard and egg yolks, best eaten with bread and potatoes.
- Boeuf bourguignon: slowly cooked beef cuts with red wine, root vegetables and mushrooms.
- Steak Tartare: for lovers of horse meat. It is made with raw beef or horse meat and spiced with an egg on top.

Alibaba also celebrated a new sales record on Singles Day (11.11.) this year. With 26% year-on-year growth, Alibaba's total revenue that day was 268.4 billion yuan (approximately 34.9 billion euros). Not far behind was JD.com with a turnover of 26.6 billion euros. As a result, goods worth around 62 billion euros changed hands on just these two platforms in a single day.
The hype about the Double 11 shopping period, which usually starts at the end of October / beginning of November with initial promotions, is unbroken. For example, logistic companies hired 400,000 extra deliveries for this special day in order to deliver the estimated 2.8 billion parcels on time.
Our Managing Director Henning Frye followed the development of the sales figures from hour to hour directly on site: "It was again an impressive experience for us, but also for our brands, for which we were able to make Singles Day very successful."

To celebrate the launch of its new CRAZY DELICIOUS™ tagline, the fast-growing, Seattle-style teriyaki franchise is dropping 500 free bowls on its social media followers (no, not literally)
Denver, CO (RestaurantNews.com) Because one @#$%^&* insane year deserves one @#$%^&* insane giveaway, Teriyaki Madness, the fastest-growing restaurant chain in the country, announced it will offer 500 free teriyaki bowls to its fans as a way to celebrate the launch of its new tagline: CRAZY DELICIOUS™.
“Listen, we had to do something big to celebrate the launch of our new tagline,” said Jodi Boyce, CMO of Teriyaki Madness. “It’s got that little ™ and everything.”
Starting on May 10, the first 500 customers to post an original photo of their favorite TMAD menu item on Instagram and Facebook, tag @teriyaki.madness in the caption or photo, and use the hashtags #teriyakimadness and #crazydelicious will receive a free Junior or Regular bowl of their choice. The winners can redeem through the company’s app (available on iOS | Android) or through their Mad Rewards account.
So how did Teriyaki Madness come up with the CRAZY DELICIOUS™ tagline in the first place?
“We’re crazy about our recipes, crazy about ingredients, crazy about making the best dang teriyaki this side of the Mississippi (and the other side too),” said Michael Haith, CEO of Teriyaki Madness. “Of course, not just any ol’ tagline would do. We reviewed, discussed and tossed out dozens upon dozens of ideas. We played magnetic poetry. We spoke in tongues. But when we reviewed the 2019 research that told us flavor is the number one reason customers love us, we knew we had it. We’re not just irresistible. We’re not just craveable. We’re delicious. And maybe a little off-the-wall.”
After more than a year of lockdowns, N95 masks, and Zoombombing, CRAZY DELICIOUS™ seemed to be the best way to describe the power of a great meal and its ability to lift spirits when the world is a little nuts.
“We’re so thankful to our team and to our customers for their support over the last year,” said Haith. “We’re glad to be in a position to give back to our communities and have a little fun while we’re at it.”
The #CrazyDelicious promotion runs through May 31, 2021.

Spied lurking suspiciously near Land Rover’s HQ, this is, no word of a lie, the new Land Rover Defender scheduled to debut in 2020.
Unfortunately, we’re not kidding, and we’ve got absolutely no opinion on it at all. We can’t decide if we love it or hate it. After all, the Defender badge is almost part and parcel with Land Rover itself, a coveted piece of the automaker’s history. We’re still speechless in here in the office.
Originally developed in the 1980’s off the back of a successful Land Rover Series in the post-war era, the Defender badge rolled off the production line right up until January 2016. Owners will confirm it is one of the most ambivalent and turbulent love affairs they have ever had. They hate to love it, with its tiny cabin and numerous faults, yet they wouldn’t have any other Land Rover – or 4×4 for that matter – in their garage.
Bar a special edition Defender Works V8 in recent years, the iconic badge fell silent, albeit while their previous incarnations seemed to only appreciate in value.
Now, all we can tell you is basically nothing. Jaguar Land Rover isn’t revealing anything. At all.
“Jaguar Land Rover runs a wide range of engineering and technology development programmes,” a spokesperson said. “We can confirm that the Defender programme is progressing well and has reached an exciting stage of its development.”
But we do have pictures. And a lame hashtag. #BEST4X4XFAR

In Wallace’s world, falling in love means giving your heart away. Literally. With her wedding only days away, Wallace must retrieve her heart from Douglas, her first love, and put it back into her chest before walking down the aisle. But when Douglas reveals that he cut her heart to pieces with a butterknife and scattered it around the city, the ex-lovers revisit their old haunts to collect the pieces of Wallace’s broken heart.
Four years ago I was acting on Broadway… Avenue… in Chicago… to 14 people in a small bar turned tiny theater at noon on a Saturday. It was a play about a girl who ripped her heart out of her chest to give to a the boy she loved (because he was born with a paper heart). A strange play that made huge fans of the handful of people that saw it. The play, “With Love and a Major Organ” was written by Canadian playwright Julia Lederer. A year after that, Julia flew to Chicago for our first co-writing session.
Julia and I share an appreciation for magical realism and romantic comedy, and after writing a feature film, we decided to make the short film “Eat Your Heart Out”. EYHO exists in a similar world of Julia’s play, taking the metaphor of ripping a heart out of a chest to the literal.
I live in a coffin factory turned publishing house turned apartment. My upstairs neighbor, Isz, is an artist and we incorporated his studio and artwork into the world’s aesthetic. The quirky locations gave us the backdrop for our broken-hearted treasure hunt. The film is an adult fairy tale, with beautiful steady wide shots that give the feel of the turning of a picture book. “Eat Your Heart Out” is a journey through the absurdity of healing heart ache.
Abby is a teacher, actor, director and writer. She teaches improv and theater at Cook County Jail, a maximum security facility in Chicago. She is currently directing “Hopelessly Devoted” at Piven Theatre, which will perform in local jails. Her acting can be seen on “Chicago P.D.”, “Proven Innocent”, and “Chicago Fire”. Abby will be acting in the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize winner David Auburn’s “The Adventures of Augie March”. She is also the creator of the goofball web series “The Exquisite Corpse” presented by OpenTV.

“How can we seriously today claim to defend biodiversity and grant such exemptions?” Ask the 14 organizations, including Future Generations, Greenpeace or WWF France, in a letter to the Minister of Agriculture.
Contaminated rivers or soils, abandoned industrial waste… Do you live near a polluted site?
Click here to alert us!
Fourteen organizations wrote on Monday August 17 to the Minister of Agriculture and Food to ask him “not to derogate from the ban on neonicotinoids”, indicates a letter that franceinfo was able to consult. They say to themselves “scandalized” by the intention of the government to grant an exemption to sugar beet growers whose production fell this year, because of the viral yellows carried by the green aphids.
Among the signatories of this letter, we find in particular the NGOs Future Generations, Greenpeace, WWF France, the We Want Poppies movement and the Confédération paysanne union.
Our organizations are scandalized by this ministerial decision, which constitutes a significant step backwards from the government on the issue of these insecticides.in a letter to the Minister of Agriculture and Food
“This decision is all the more unacceptable as ANSES [Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail] admitted in a 2018 opinion on neonicotinoids that there was no technical deadlock for this culture “, write organizations.
“In an attempt to justify this position, the government, through the Minister of Ecology as well as the president of the FNSEA, explain that the beet crop being harvested before flowering, the latter did not attract pollinators and the use of neonicotinoids in seed coating on this crop would therefore be of no consequence on bees “, point out the signatories of the letter.
They are not reassured by recent tweets from the Minister for the Ecological Transition, Barbara Pompili, indicating that he “will be prohibited to plant flowering crops during the next season so as not to attract pollinators”. According to them, “The exposure of bees and other pollinators to neonicotinoids is also, and perhaps even above all, by wild flowers (…) Plants located near crops treated with neonicotinoids are widely contaminated, thus leading to significant contamination pollen brought back to the hives “. The signatories of this letter also claim that neonicotinoids are “persistent” and “these toxic active ingredients can take several years to degrade”.
The 14 organizations believe, moreover, that “opening this Pandora’s box of the use of the derogation for neonicotinoids”, the government “opened the way to requests from other producers, corn growers in mind (…) How can we seriously today claim to defend biodiversity and grant such exemptions?”, they conclude.
