N3m fine for involvement in N25bn money laundering is laughable
Last week’s judgment by Justice A. M. Liman of the Federal High Court, Benin, sentencing Mr Michael Igbinedion, to a mere six years jail term, or N3 million, option of fine, for his involvement in a N25 billion money laundering charges rankles the ordinary mind. For us, and we guess many other lay people, the law surely works in mysterious ways. Indeed, the possibility of such a lowly punishment for such a serious crime, perhaps explains why for many, the law is referred to as ‘an ass’; and if we may add, probably available to be ridden by all manner of persons, as they desire. But, if that sentence is justifiable under the law, then the in-coming administration must post-haste, take steps to amend the law.
That tap on the wrist punishment, meted out to Michael, the son of the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, and the brother of the former Governor of Edo State, Lucky Igbinedion, was for his involvement in a fraud against the government of Edo State, during the reign of his brother. In the 81-count charge of money laundering, proffered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Michael and his aide, Patrick Eboigbodin, were charged with their four companies, Messrs Gava Corporation limited, Roming Nigeria limited, PML Securities Company limited and PML Nigeria limited.
In the judgment, Patrick, was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, without an option of fine, while PML Limited was to forfeit her assets to the Federal Government of Nigeria, and pay a fine of N250,000. Also, while Michael was found guilty on three counts, his aide was found guilty on 10 counts, out of the 81-count charges. In our lay view, the import of the judgment is that for the crime of laundering N25 billion naira, the principal accused person, Michael, would pay a mere N3 million for his freedom; even as the purse of Edo State and her people have lost the sum of N25 billion naira.
What this judgment tells us is that those who have access to humongous state resources may easily feel encouraged to steal. Indeed, it may not be far-fetched to regard the judgment of Justice Liman as incentive to those with the predilection for crime to pursue it, knowing as Michael’s case may suggest, that the consequences are not that grave. We know that many Nigerians will see that judgment as a travesty of justice, and so there is the need for the EFCC to appeal against the sentencing, if not the whole judgment.
Unfortunately, Michael Igbinedion’s judgment may not be much different from similar cases in the past, where for grand larceny many of our privileged class got away with little or no punishment. That perhaps explains why corruption, particularly the variety of looting public treasury, is very high in the country. Notably, just like his junior brother Michael, Lucky Igbinedion was also charged for grievous cases of corruption, and like his junior brother now, he also got out, on a dubious leeway of so-called plea-bargain. Again, like in the current instance, it was the common wealth of the people of Edo State that the two brothers, with proven itchy fingers, helped themselves to.
But beyond the Igbinedion brothers, there are similar charges of corruption across the country which have languished in the courts for donkey years. Many of the governors who served with Governor Igbinedion between 1999 and 2007 were also charged with one corruption case or the other. Nearly eight years after the charges against his colleagues were filed in the courts, many of those cases are still battling with preliminary applications, while the main charges have been left in limbo. As if to confer the status of un-seriousness on our criminal justice system, many of those charged with the grievous crimes have brushed the cases aside, and have enthusiastically sought fresh positions of authority, even as their earlier misdemeanours languish in courts.
Of course, as we have many times argued on this page, there is the need to re-jig our criminal justice system, if we hope to lay any claim to seriousness in the fight against corruption. As the in-coming president, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, has severally stated, if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill us. While some have suggested a special court to deal with corruption, others have proffered the designation of specific time, to deal with corrupt cases before a judge. Some have also suggested that our criminal procedure laws, particularly with respect to the law of evidence, be tinkered with. Luckily, the in-coming vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is a reformist lawyer, and so should gel with our anti-corruption president, to fight the debilitating corruption that wants to kill the country.

Talented, smart and gorgeous, Amber Valletta, a 17-time Vogue magazine cover model, actress and mother, is opening up about her struggle with the powerful disease addiction and her inspirational road to recovery.
Raised in Oklahoma, Amber can remember as early as 8 years old feeling like she wanted to get outside of herself. In an attempt to do just that Amber began sniffing things like markers, glue and finger nail polish to give herself a buzz. She recalls trying to sneak drugs that were around her home such as joints, and by 10 years old she had already gotten high.
When Amber was 15 years old she was discovered by a Tulsa modeling agency and her modeling career took off. It was only a few short years later, when she was 18, that Amber moved to Europe for work and it was there that she experienced cocaine for the first time. In an interview with CBS News Amber says, "The first time I tried cocaine I was, I was in it...first time." Amber ran with a high society party crowd and when the money and access began to flow, so did the drugs and alcohol. By her early 20's, Amber was at the top of her game and she admits to putting everything on the line for her addiction, including family, friends, and her even her job. She recalls showing up to multi-million dollar photo shoots high and drunk, and she didn't care. It wasn't it wasn't until she was 25 years old that she decided she did not want to die and got sober.
Amber credits her sobriety with honest and deep self-reflection. In a candid and raw conversation How I Live With Addiction Every Day with MindBodyGreen, Amber reveals, "I continually turn inward. I continually look at my disease because my disease shapeshifts...I had to seek out other support...I had to find a spiritual compass. I had to be willing to go out and help other people recover from addiction. I had to be willing to lift the veil off the shame and say, 'I'm an addict. I can't do this alone. I don't want to do this alone. I don't feel comfortable. Can you help me?'"
Knowing all to well the dark and ugly face of addiction, it was important to Amber to open up about her struggles in the hope that someone will hear her story, and it will in some way help them to get out of "the shadows and the darkness of addiction, and bring them to the light." As an addict Amber knows that addiction does not discriminate and it thrives when kept in the dark and it thrives on feelings of shame, fear and hopelessness. In her interview with CBS News she speaks to others suffering with addiction and says, "I want to tell people they have nothing to be ashamed of. Come out of the darkness. Come into the light. You can recover from this disease, and you don't have to be a prisoner to something."

Normal bladder function in rats has been restored by researchers in the US, who have developed an implantable, closed-loop system that exploits optogenetics. Nerve cells in the rats’ bladders were modified to respond to the light emitted by implanted LEDs, which allowed bladder function to be controlled by an external wireless device. The technique could be used to develop sophisticated treatments for people suffering from bladder problems such as overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and urinary incontinence – and could be extended to treating other organs.
Serious bladder-control problems can be treated with implanted bioelectronic devices that stimulate and control nerve cells in the bladder using electrical signals. While the signals can control bladder activity very precisely, they also affect the region surrounding the bladder and this can lead to unwanted side-effects including pain and inflammation.
The new control technique overcomes this problem and was developed by a team led by Robert Gereau at Washington University in St Louis and John Rogers at Northwestern University near Chicago. The team also included researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Their system uses light to control bladder activity, thereby eliminating the need for a disruptive electrical signal.
Team makes use of optogenetics, which involves using a virus to bind a protein called opsin to nerve cells in the bladders of live rats. Opsin converts light into electrochemical signals and the researchers hypothesized that the activity of these modified cells could be regulated precisely by developing shining light on them using a closed-loop control system.
The implantable system includes a stretchable, high-precision strain sensor that is placed around the rat’s bladder. The sensors measure bladder circumference continuously, while transmitting data on a wireless link to an external interface device. If the sensor data indicated that a rat’s bladder was emptying abnormally frequently, the external device would then send a signal back to the base station, which instructed microscopic LEDs attached to the sensor to turn on. Subsequently, activity in the surrounding light-sensitive nerve cells prevented the bladder from emptying.
Mickle and colleagues tested their device in rats injected with cyclophosphamide, which induces OAB. The frequency of bladder emptying was restored to normal and the rats displayed no significant inflammation or behavioural changes in response to the implant.
The team is confident that further improvements and the appropriate scaling could make their technique a ground-breaking treatment for OAB in the coming years. With additional adaptations, it could also be used to treat conditions related to other organs. Potential applications include influencing nerve cells in the bowels to reduce incontinence and also inducing a feeling of fullness in the stomach to combat obesity.
The research is described in Nature.

Del Monte moves office workers from S.F. to Walnut Creek
As San Francisco office rents continue climbing, Del Monte Foods is moving about 150 workers to Walnut Creek. The San Francisco company leased 27,000 square feet in PMI Plaza at 3003 Oak Road, an office tower next to the Pleasant Hill BART Station, to house administrative staff.
Big Heart Pet Brands recently spun off Del Monte Foods, a longtime San Francisco firm, in a deal that split Del Monte’s food and pet food businesses into separate entities. Read more here.
“The move of Del Monte Foods to the East Bay is symptomatic of well-established corporate tenants relocating from the San Francisco and Silicon Valley markets to more affordable and accessible space in central Contra Costa County,” said Ed Del Beccaro, managing director of Transwestern who represented the landlord in the lease, the PMI Group LLC, along with Matt Hurd.
At PMI Plaza, the foods division will consolidate employees mostly from both San Francisco and some from other East Bay offices. In 2010, before the restructuring, Del Monte leased 153,000 square feet in One Maritime Plaza in San Francisco.
“For commodity based businesses in San Francisco, the rents driven by the tech boom make the East Bay an attractive destination,” said Eugene McGrane, a broker with Cushman & Wakefield in Walnut Creek, who represented Del Monte. “(PMI Plaza) presented the most expedient and attractive option.”
Del Monte Foods will maintain a presence in One Maritime, but needed more space to accommodate employers. Del Monte has maintained a research and development facility in Walnut Creek for many years, so it was a familiar market.

Supervisor appointed to oversee Niagara Health
Demonstrators rallied outside a Niagara hospital demanding answers into what's causing the spike of C. difficile cases in Ontario, Wednesday, July 6, 2011.
TORONTO - The newly appointed supervisor for the Niagara Health System says he wants to rebuild trust in a community that has been faced with a spate of hospital-related concerns.
Kevin Smith, who heads St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton, was appointed to the post Wednesday by the province, following a C. difficile outbreak and other problems at Niagara-area hospitals.
Smith will immediately take over full power of the hospital board and corporation, the province said. He'll report directly to Health Minister Deb Matthews.
"I know that there have been some challenges around trust in the community," Smith told a news conference in Niagara Falls.
"Clearly our focus will be on rebuilding trust and examining clinical service delivery with the safest and most efficient environment possible."
Listening to feedback and concerns from the community, as well as health-care providers and officials in the system will be part of the job, he said. Being transparent and communicating with the public and media will also be high on his to-do list.
Noting his background as a health administrator, investigator and medical educator with experience in many different health settings and communities, Smith said he's ready to take on the pressing issues in the Niagara region.
The multi-site health system serves 434,000 people with hospitals in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, Fort Erie, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Port Colborne.
It's not known how long Smith will be in the position, but he said such postings usually last about a year.
"If we can get it done much quicker than that, we'll be delighted," he said.
The government announced earlier this month that it would appoint a supervisor after more than 30 C. difficile-related deaths were reported at Niagara institutions since the end of May. The number of deaths related to the outbreak stood at 33 as of Wednesday.
The province said the outbreak and other problems had undermined public confidence in Niagara-area hospitals.
"I want everyone in the Niagara region to have full confidence in the Niagara Health System," Matthews said in announcing Smith's appointment.
She said Smith's knowledge and experience will allow him "to continue to improve patient care and help the NHS regain its stature in the community."
"I want to keep working with the people of the Niagara region to strengthen the NHS and make sure it remains an anchor in the community for years to come," Matthews added.
The Progressive Conservatives said they were happy to see Smith in the job, but called the appointment "long overdue."
"It comes too late for Niagara families who've been impacted by the tragic failures of the Niagara Health System," said Lisa MacLeod, the party's government accountability critic.
MacLeod pointed out that PC Leader Tim Hudak has been calling for a review of the Niagara system since 2007.
With Smith's appointment, Ontario ombudsman Andre Marin now has the jurisdiction to investigate complaints about Niagara Health System.
The ombudsman does not normally have jurisdiction over hospitals in Ontario. But that changes when the government takes direct control, since the ombudsman has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
Marin's office said Wednesday that Ontario is the only province whose ombudsman does not have a mandate to oversee hospitals or long-term care homes.
Despite this, the office reported receiving "many serious complaints about these facilities every year that cannot be investigated."
A total of 291 complaints about hospitals were received in fiscal 2010-2011, Marin's office said in a release.

Queen Elizabeth II is 92.
On Saturday, April 21, the venerable British monarch celebrates her 92nd birthday. On the throne since 6 February, 1952, she has reigned for more than 66 years. She’s both the longest-serving and oldest British monarch ever, breaking the records set by Queen Victoria (who died at 81 after 63 years on the throne), her great-great grandmother, in 2015.
In her life she has seen the rise and fall of innumerable world leaders, great and terrible.
Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in the 1950s, a year before the death of Stalin. She has lived through the Second World War, and met with Winston Churchill numerous times. She has also ruled through the US presidencies of Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and more.
See how the Queen’s life and reign stacks up against the tenure of other legendary political figureheads in the graphic below.
This isn’t the last you’ll hear of the Queen’s birthday this year, however. One of the unusual perks of being a British monarch is that you get two birthdays.
While April 21 is Queen Elizabeth II’s “real” birthday, her “official” one is held in June. Meanwhile, her spouse Prince Philip is an impressive 96, with his (only) birthday on June 10.

There were a lot of things I gained from the J-Pop Taiko Experiment, and I’m beginning to feel I’m somewhat on the right track. I think the challenge from here on is to really explore and refine the sounds of the Hybrid Kit. I’ve also noticed that incorporating a traditional Taiko rhythm somewhere into the performance makes a huge difference. Having even just a few seconds of traditional taiko rhythms really make a powerful statement.
The Pop Rock Taiko Experiment uses the same recording setup and mixing method as the Utada “Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence FYI” recording. AKG414 Overheads, SM57s on the Snare, Oke, Chu, a Beta57A on the Shime, a Beta 52a on the Floor Tom, and a Crown PCC-160 for the Room.
Instead of laying back in the mix, I wanted the give the taiko a voice in the song. This time, I wanted to give the Pop Rock Taiko Experiment enough character to potentially take the song in a new direction, had been present at the original recording.
I took a lot more liberties with the solos, and I’m also playing with a lot more energy. The patterns that I’m playing are a lot busier than anything I’ve played in the previous sessions. I also threw in the taiko part for Aiya Bushi to allude to the Tsugaru Shamisen being played.
It still takes me several takes to play a relatively simple song like this correctly – or at least close to the way I plan to. I kept forgetting breaks, miscounting solo bars, and going into the wrong part of the song. It also takes me an inordinate amount of time to come up with patterns that work with the song. I definitely need to develop more vocabulary on this setup. I also need to practice adhering to song form.

Take Your Dog For A Walk – It’s Much More Than The Exercise!
Sure, the act of dog walking does wonderful things physically for both you and your dog. Especially the brisk pace my “Reese” demands on the way to the wonderful olfactory paradise awaiting at Frick Park. Your dog also savors every odor and aroma discovered in your neighborhood every day, using his keen sense of smell that’s been estimated to be 50,000 times more sensitive than ours. This is exactly the other reason to go out for a stroll with your pooch.
Ever wonder why dog’s have to sniff and then lick objects they encounter, including your face and hands? It’s their special extra sensory organ located right behind their upper incisors. That bump you see and feel there is the vomeronasal organ that gives them the heightened olfactory capability dogs are prized for.
Here’s how this works for my dog Reese: she sniffs a tree trunk where a dog has urinated; then licks the tree and runs her tongue over the vomeronasal organ; a quick search of the memory banks in the olfactory cerebral cortex of her brain; in microseconds she knows that Rex the neighborhood Bichon is up ahead.
So the sensory aspects of the dog walk can’t be underestimated as entertainment for your dogs, and is likely the highlight of their day!
SUMMER BOARDING KENNEL & DAYCARE ALERT!

Lagos State government on Friday said it had commenced a total enforcement of the law against street trading and street hawking, saying that the law would take its full course to punish both the sellers and the buyers.
The state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, who spoke on Friday at a live interview session on Television Continental (TVC), said that the renewed enforcement was in line with Section One of the Lagos State Street Trading and Illegal Market Prohibition Law 2003 which restricts street trading and hawking in the metropolis.
He said henceforth, the buyer and the seller are both liable to a fine of N90,000 or a six-month jail term if caught based on the existing law in the state.
He sympathised with the family of a street hawker who was knocked down by an articulated truck while trying to evade arrest from officials of Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) on Maryland Bus stop on Wednesday, regretting that the situation led to the destruction of public assets.
“It is not in our DNA to allow someone to just die by road accident or the way it happened in respect of the incident. But beyond the fact that we lost one person while crossing the road as a result of evading arrest by KAI officials, I need to tell Lagosians that over 49 buses were actually destroyed and it is costing us like almost N139 million to put those buses back on the road,” he said.
Ambode said the State Executive Council had consequently resolved to enforce the law, which, according to him, makes both the hawker and the buyer liable of the offence.
“The issue is we need to enforce our laws because we already have a law in respect of that and then there is a clause in it which says the buyer and the seller are both liable and that we are going to fine them either N90, 000 or a six-month jail term.
“What we are doing on traffic is that we are introducing new strategies to eliminate traffic, but Lagos being a cosmopolitan city, you cannot totally eliminate it but now this is the case, in the next few days, you will see on the street of Lagos signs that will be warning you that buyers and hawkers should be aware that there are consequences,” Governor Ambode said.
He said his administration had also concluded plans to roll out a massive campaign which would warn both motorists and hawkers of the restrictions and the penalty for defaulters.
“We will be watching out for buyers and sellers and all we need is just scapegoat. Don’t buy plantain chips or any other item in traffic from July 1, buyers beware,” Governor Ambode warned.
He said aside the environmental hazards associated with the activities of street traders and hawkers alike, they also pose great security and health risks.
“A whole lot of people who are hawkers, when you check them, I understand from intelligence that there is a cartel. Some people buy fake products and then bring the products in and then give these boys to sell on the street and come back to make returns in the night.
“So, what I want to advise Lagosians is that most times when you think you are buying something of quality on the road, be rest assured that those things are fake products,” Governor Ambode said.
He, however, said that much as the state government intended to be civil in enforcing the law, some recalcitrant persons tried to subvert the process, hence the need to ensure total compliance with the law.
Asked what plans the government had for unemployed graduates who had taken to street hawking, Governor Ambode said that his administration had launched a N25billion Employment Trust Fund, urging them to access the fund.
Ambode, while answering questions on future plans of his administration, assured that greater attention would be given to the health and education sectors, saying empowerment of the youth and the elderly would also get the needed attention.
“In the last eight years, while the immediate past governor actually did a lot to improve on health, you will also see that what he provided was not even enough to cater for all the people coming into Lagos.
“Now, this second year, I can tell you freely that we are facing majorly the health sector, education sector, the issue of elderly people and then the youths. We believe that in the next twelve months which we are starting now, you will see a major escalation of the quality of the facilities we are going to provide in our hospitals,” Governor Ambode said.
Lagos street hawkers defy Ambode
It was business as usual on Friday, on the Iyana Ipaja –Abule Egba axis, in Agbado Oke Odo Local Council Development Area of Lagos on Friday as street hawkers defied the Lagos State government’s directive, banning hawking on Lagos roads as from yesterday, July 1.
For instance, on Agege Motor Road, before the overhead bridge in Iyana Ipaja, hawkers of various items like sachet water, gala and biscuits were seen running after prospective customers, despite the ban on their activities.
While no official of the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) was around to enforce the ban, some of the hawkers who spoke with Saturday Tribune claimed ignorance of such laws, while wondering what would probably turn out to be their fate if such laws were enforced.
“I no dey aware of the ban, where we wan go now?’ was Martins’ response to Saturday Tribune, when asked what he was still doing on the streets in spite of the ban.
Though Tawa, who hawks sachet water in Abule Egba, was also not aware of the development, she, however, argued that there was no time the law allowed street trading.
“We are only doing all these at our own risk. Why do you think we always run each time we see the KAI officials? So I’m not really surprised,” she stated.
Task Force, KAI commence full enforcement today — Source
Following the declaration made by Governor Ambode that the state government would commence full enforcement of law against street trading and hawkers as from Friday July 1, 2016, enforcement agencies said it would be all out on Saturday (today) to carry out the directives and give daily accounts of their activities.
The agencies in charge of the exercise include the Lagos State Task Force on Environmental Sanitation and Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI).
A source close to the agencies disclosed this to Saturday Tribune, saying that the directive of the governor was clear as he spoke on the television.
The source said that it was certain that the full enforcement of the law would start on Saturday (today).
“We didn’t go out today [Friday], but I can assure you we are going out tomorrow [today] to commence full compliance on the part of the traders, hawkers and buyers.
“But we shall always be giving you the update of the arrest of those involved,” the source said.

The kittens below, at first seven (not six) in all, somebody took two soon after they came out. Then when I saw one dead, maybe bitten by wild racoon?, I burried it in the box with help of my daughter.
Then just we were wondering what to do, the Animal Aid people came to help catching the kittens, and also the Mom and Meekay who we've been feeding the back of our restaurant, to spay them. But the kittens were so fast, we missed catching them in the first weekend, but the second week on Saturday and Sunday, all kittens, Mom and Meekay were safely caught except one kitten.
That was the one on the right in the picture below, Eedee the girl. After everybody was gone, she spent one night alone in the bush, and the second night in the car alone----(we caught her, and while transferring her to the carrier in the car, she fled and run, found the smallest hole and hide somewhere under the dashboard!!!
Since that Sunday, we decided to foster them on account of to gain my daughter's high school volunteer hours, took all 5 cats to home, and the one who was hiding in the car joined them on Monday, saved by a mechanic in the morning. That tough one, only girl, was named after Pokemon character, Eevee. That was really a good name for her, she looked like Eevee with big ears and white chest fur, tough and beautiful.
We named the others, too, the black one on the left is Jet, the orange one next to Jet is Ginger, the one over the food is Lucky.....they were hiding in the every small corner in my daughter's room the first day, but then came out and started to play like crazy, the Mom and Meekay was maybe related, too, they were all happy together.
Oh, about the Meekay.....she was a sweet teenager, but when I grabbed her and put her in the carrier, she was so panicked, shocked and confused, she was so mad at me for two days, I as the betrayer, the enemy....first, she hissed hard at me, and then didn't listen to me, didn't look at me, I was so shocked by her behavier, too.
But everything went well for the first fostering week, Meekay became sweet again, Mom liked to sit by the window and kids hyperactively playing.
My two cats, Nicky and Max were so suspicious of the closed room with unknown scent and noise, but we didn't introduce them because it would be only a week and they all get adopted to a new family maybe...
Wish I could keep all of them but of course not....but it was hard to say goodbye.....I and my daughter decided to keep Meekay and Eevee, two girls to our family and we are fostering - testing with my two boys - this week, so far so bad.....they don't accept eachother....YET.


The Politics of Jamaica toke place in the framework of representative democratic monarchy in 1962. At this time a parliamentary system was established, this system was to now follow closely to those of the United Kingdom, as there chief of state Queen Elizabeth ll appointed a governor general, on the advice of the prime minister, as her representative in Jamaica. Presently there are six (6) representatives at the last election in 2011 to 2012. They are People National Party, Jamaica Labour Party, Marcus Garvey People’s progressive Party, National Democratic Movement, Independents, and the Jamaica Alliance Movement. With all that said there are two major party’s which the people are national party and the Jamaica labour party with sixty three seats between both.
Between ever election people have problem that they block road call for the representative to address, with several matter put before them when and if they show up. The there is the elections most people seem to forget their problem for the new promises that come. I use this word but no lightly here why, they all make promises that out of every ten, they make keep one. For example this present government promised jobs since them people are going home left, right and centre. Now my question to this government is where are the jobs. Stop making empty promises.
Do you the governing body should be changed for not implementing what they promise in their speaks?

Philadelphia Phillies No-Hitters
Today, we’re going to dip into the history banks and discuss the 13 no-hitters in the history of the Philadelphia Phillies.
To start off, we’ll have to get into the Way-Back Machine…
1. Charlie Ferguson, August 29, 1885: Ferguson was a two-way player who spent four years in majors, all with Philadelphia. He made 170 career starts and completed 165 of them, underscoring how different the game was back then. As a second baseman/outfielder, the switch-hitter recorded a 735 OPS while scoring 191 runs in 257 games. Ferguson led the NL in WAR in 1886, but his promising career was cut short when he died of typhoid fever before the 1888 season.
2. Red Donahue, July 8, 1898: Donahue spent four of his 13 seasons with the Phils and overall compiled a 164-175 record, making 340 starts and tossing 25 shutouts. He led the NL in complete games in 1897 (while setting an MLB record that still stands by losing 35 games) and was known as a crafty pitcher (i.e., not one that relied on the strikeout).
3. Chick Fraser, September 18, 1903: Fraser’s gem was the first no-hitter on the road for the franchise. He had a lengthy career (14 seasons), five years of which were spent with the Phillies. Fraser won 175 of the 434 games he appeared in, but suffered from control issues, three times leading the majors in walks and ranking second all-time in hit batters.
4. Johnny Lush, May 1, 1906: Lush was the first Phillie southpaw to record a no-hitter. He only pitched for seven seasons in the bigs, four with the Phillies. Lush went 66-85 in his career, starting 155 games and completing 105 of them. Another two-way player (630 career OPS), he was the youngest player in the NL as a rookie at the age of 18. Lush’s no-hitter would be the last one for the Phillies for a very, very long time.
5. Jim Bunning, June 21, 1964: As alluded to, Phillies fans had a long wait between no-hitters before Bunning recorded the team’s first perfect game (finishing it off with a strikeout as you can see in the video below). He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1996 after a 17-year career (six with Philadelphia) in which he went 224-184 and hurled 40 shutouts. A nine-time All-Star, Bunning led all pitchers in WAR twice and went on to have an impressive post-baseball career as a U.S. Senator.
6. Rick Wise, June 23, 1971: Wise did it all in his no-hitter, smacking two homers in the game as well. He enjoyed an 18-year career, seven of which were as a Phillie. Wise’s career winning percentage was .509 through 455 starts, 30 of which were shutouts. A two-time All-Star, he led the AL with 19 losses in 1978, but did earn the win in perhaps the greatest World Series game ever — Game Six in 1975.
7. Terry Mulholland, August 15, 1990: It was another long wait before Mulholland came through with the first no-hitter at Veteran’s Stadium. He spent 20 years in the majors, six of them with Philly, winning 124 games out of 685 — most of which were as a reliever. In 1992, Mulholland led the NL with 12 complete games and made his only All-Star team the following season.
8. Tommy Greene, May 23, 1991: This was the shortest wait for a no-hitter in franchise history (not including postseason no-hitters) as Greene turned the trick in Montreal, for the team’s first no-no outside of the U.S. Greene spent six of his eight MLB seasons as a Phillie, putting together a career mark of 38-25 with five shutouts. He went 16-4 in 1993, finishing second in the NL in winning percentage, but was pretty much toast after that as his shoulder gave out on him.
9. Kevin Millwood, April 27, 2003: Millwood stuck around the bigs for 16 years (just two seasons with the Phillies), winning 169 games while recording a 4.11 ERA in 451 appearances. In 2005, he led the AL in ERA and wound up with over 2,000 career strikeouts.
10. Roy Halladay, May 29, 2010: Halladay’s perfect game was the second in team history, one of the highlights of his 16-year career, the final four of which were spent in the City of Brotherly Love. He enjoyed a stellar 203-105 career record (.659 winning percentage) over 416 games, 390 of which were starts. A two-time Cy Young winner, Halladay is sure to garner plenty of support for the Hall of Fame when eligible in a couple of years.
11. Roy Halladay, October 6, 2010: This marked just the second playoff no-hitter in baseball history and helped cement Doc’s place as one of the greatest hurlers of his generation.
12. Cole Hamels, Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon, September 1, 2014: This was the first combined no-hitter in team history and is hard to believe is less than two years old given that this entire quartet has been traded as part of the team’s long overdue rebuilding movement.
13. Cole Hamels, July 25, 2010: As mentioned above, Philly dealt Hamels… just six days after this effort. That’s one hell of a way to give the fans something to remember you by.
Now it’s your turn. Let us know in the comments below what your greatest Phillie no-hitter memory is.

I have in the past tried to focus on the product itself rather than the person behind it. I think that the product should speak for itself and that it’s the final result that matters. On the other hand I have understood that many of you want to know more about the person behind this project, and want to get ”behind the scenes”. So, this blog is my attempt to invite you into my creative world. The blog will be as the magazine itself; a mix between DIY projects, interior design, jewellery, fashion, interesting people and a lot more.
You will be able to follow how next issue of the magazine is developing, what my contributors and myself are currently working on, and together with some personal reflections and humour. I believe that humour is like music; it should be added frequently in one’s life.
I will try to keep it simple with this first post on this new blog, and I will try to further present me and my work later on. I will also try to keep the blog both in English and in Swedish, sometimes perhaps also in Swenglish, who knows? In some cases I will simply post photos of the ongoing work and in some cases I will elaborate with more text and information.
I like encouraging e-mails as well as feedback on my work or on the magazine itself, so please keep e-mailing me or leave a comment here on the blog.
Stay tuned! The journey can begin!

Despite binge-watching Netflix's You weeks ago, we're still obsessed with it. We've swatted up on the second series, bought the novel of the same name, and are constantly scrolling the internet for any insights we may have missed.
Interestingly, the latest one comes from Penn Badgeley, who plays stalker-turned-murderer Joe Goldberg in the series, who appeared on The Today Show to explain exactly why people might find his character so attractive.
The actor thinks Joe Goldberg inspires mixed feelings because while he is a brutal serial killer, the character is written in such a way that you also feel sympathy towards him. You're meant to feel torn.
"The whole point is he's meant to garner a conflicted reaction," Penn said. "I don't see him as a portrayal of a real person, I see him as a representation of the part of us that identifies with him. The part of us that is a troll; that part of us that is victim blaming; the part of us that is privileged and blind. We're meant to identify with him."
Essentially, Penn thinks we identify the deepest, darkest parts of ourselves and society in Joe, which is why we may feel softly towards him. Bleak.
The actor also went on to touch on how viewers may come to blame the internet for Joe's actions, rather than the character himself, because social media made it so easy for him to behave in that way towards Beck.
"The whole point is that Joe is actually not a mastermind," he said. "He's actually, in some ways, extremely average... It's this really interesting thing where you're seeing the trajectory of a soul, of a man and he's just completely obsessive and compulsive and believing that he's operating by the logic of a true romantic."
This is interesting.


So, how’s that coup going in Venezuela? Not so well for the putschists, ha ha:
Security corps have restored calm to the Venezuelan state of Mérida, following a spate of far-right violence dating back to last February, according to the Minister of Interior Relations, Justice and Peace, Miguel Rodríguez Torres.
“Mérida is liberated. Our Bolivarian National Guard will guarantee the right of free transit to its citizens. We want peace,” wrote the minister on his Twitter account, @RodriguezT_MIJP.
In another message, Rodríguez wrote: “There has been a tremendous effort on the part of our GNB officers to return peace to the city of Mérida.”
Rodríguez Torres congratulated the commanding general of the GNB, Justo Noguera, and the Bolivarian National Police “for their excellent work in re-establishing order in Mérida”.
The minister stated that “opposition radicalism has brought environmental and social disaster to this beautiful city.” Later he reflected: “This is how they try to gain power.”
Extortion, homicides, kidnappings and undue use of firearms stand out in the list of crimes perpetrated by the vandal groups who were operating in the sectors of El Rodeo, El Campito, and Cardenal Quintero, in the Libertador municipality of Mérida.
On April 25, Major-General Justo Noguera announced that more than 2,000 members of the GNB were active in the region to guarantee peace there.
To date 41 people have been killed, between February 12 and April 21, 2014. They were victims of violent blockades, traps set by the opposition, obstacles, and coups de grâce executed by terrorists.
Also, 5,000 trees were cut down indiscriminately, and damage was done to infrastructure and public property, causing losses totalling approximately $10 billion.
All that death, all that wasted money, and what has it accomplished for the opposition? Nada. Zippo. Zilch. Bupkus. Madurito is still firmly in power, and democracy isn’t about to bow to terrorism. Or imperialism.
And those of you in the northern hemisphere supporting these violent so-called “protests” — don’t you feel like idiots now?

Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts, Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony...These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.
The same class of weapons, by the way, that you can see depicted in the hands of the Minutemen in the following image:
The power of the sword is in the hands of Congress? My friends and countrymen, it is not so; for the powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The Militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the Militia? They are not ourselves as politicians and lawmakers. They are those who have elected us into our positions and entrusted us with the power of preserving and carrying out their wishes. Congress has no power to disarm the Militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American. The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the Federal or State governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.
- Tench Coxe, letter to James Madison during adoption of the Bill of Rights in the United States Congress (1789)
They were already banned. The Massachusetts Gun Owners Action League was lobbying FOR this legislation that he signed because it actually expanded gun rights, not the opposite that you keep pretending.
Lie all you want, bold all you want, post all the pretty pictures you want - it doesn’t change the facts or his history.... again, as proven by GOAL and the NRA.

Parallel session: 11I. Special session: FP7 ICT and water
In this paper we present WaterCity, a web-based social network application, aiming to change the attitudes and practices of urban communities of residential consumers towards pro-environmental behavior with respect to water use. WaterCity leverages the power of persuasive strategies when combined with social networking applications, with the aim to induce user behavioral change with respect to water conservation. Thought WaterCity, which can be seen as an aggregator of social motivation and other behavioral factors into an easily accessible platform, households can receive information and feedback about their water consumption, compare their consumption to that of similar others and set and monitor water reduction goals. WaterCity will be evaluated in terms of usability and potential towards behavioral change in the context of the WatERP project at two European cities: Karlsruhe and Barcelona.


Amsterdam’s much-tipped seven-piece Personal Trainer return today with news that their debut album, “Big Love Blanket”, is landing on November 4th, 2022. It follows two excellent singles this year, and a debut EP “Gazebo” that landed mid-pandemic on tastemaker label Holm Front (Walt Disco, Krush Puppies, Sports Team).
The ten tracks of “Big Love Blanket” display a playful diversity of sounds and influences, landing on one all of their own that has been championed as “rapturously fun” by Ones To Watch, “incredibly catchy indie-led pop” by Record Of The Day, “curious and endearing” by Steve Lamacq, “remarkable” by Clash and even compared to LCD Soundsystem by Marc Riley. The first song to be released ahead of the album, “Key of Ego”, was one of NME’s New Bangers too, and rightly so.
Personal Trainer today also share a live favourite, “The Lazer”, a song that has undergone several reinventions across the band’s lifespan and lands today in its final, celebratory state.
Watch the video for the new single “The Lazer” below.
Willem Smit says of their new single:
“‘The Lazer’ was one of the first songs we ever wrote together a band. To me ‘The Lazer’ always felt like my big Personal Trainer anthem. We used to have this shifting line-up situation where I didn’t want to rehearse much, so I wanted to make songs that were very easy to play. ‘Can you play an A chord and a D chord? Do you want to be in my band?’ was the vibe. And that’s ‘The Lazer’.
It’s easily the oldest song on the record, most trainers hate it – that’s probably because we play it nearly every show, and we played it for an hour straight during our 24-hour show last year – but it always stuck with me. It feels like a logical decision to put it on our first long record”.
“The Lazer” is paired to a DIY video, self-recorded at Willem and his girlfriend’s house, with Willem in front of “the wall”, upon which eagle-eyed PT fans will see mounted all sorts of trinkets and memories from the band so far, including the artwork for all their singles, the latest for “The Lazer” being a drawing of a band playing a live show that Willem scribbled down himself when he was little. As the saying goes, some are born to do it.
“The Lazer”, as with the rest of “Big Love Blanket”, was co-produced by regular collaborator Casper van der Lans and WIllem himself.
Personal Trainer are the brainchild of Willem Smit, the band’s front man and a multi-instrumentalist whose early talents saw his last band, Canshaker Pi, record with Stephen Malkmus while still teenagers. Personal Trainer began as an attempt to bottle the fervent energy of Amsterdam’s indie scene and to allow for something entirely unpredictable on stage and in the studio – an ever-shifting line-up of friends and peers playing together with only one rule: there are no rules.

Miami DJ Khaled has announced that he would like to collaborate with rapper Eminem for a rap anthem.
Khaled has collaborated with some of the best. His second album "We the Best" had collaborations with T-Pain, Rick Ross, Akon, T.I., Fat Joe, Birdman, Lil Wayne. He has also collaborated with Kanye West, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Usher, Drake, Fat Joe, Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes.
Now the DJ, who is wellknown for his collaborations, wants to make one with Eminem. He told MTV's RapFix Live show, March 13 that "Tell Eminem I want to do a record with him, and I think the fans and the people, they wanna see that too. I need help on that. Sway, can you talk to Em?"
He continued, "He's amazing. It's Eminem. But I feel like we need to do an anthem together, a record together. We need to get in the studio together, me and him just vibe out. I want to play him the beat, give him the energy, the inspiration," Khaled said. "Then I want his engineer, not mine, his, and make him feel comfortable, turn the mic on and do what we do."
Khaled has six albums to his credit. He was also appointed the president of Def Jam South in 2009. His seventh album "Suffering from Success" is already in the works and it is said this album may have collaborations from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Kanye West. A release date for the album is not yet set.
But Khaled has said that the album will have "serious surprises" and there will be "#1 anthems" in the album.© 2018 Mstars News, All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.


text: Did you know that maple syrup is the oldest agricultural product in Quebec? It all began with the native Indians who called it “Sweet Water.” When spring returned and the maple sap was running the Indians offered the boiled thickened syrup as a sacrifice to the Great Spirit. “Sugaring off” was largely a woman’s function in Iroquois communities. The men cut notches into tree trunks and small wooden troughs were stuck into the bark. In the early stages of European colonization the natives showed the arriving colonists how to tap the trunks of maple trees during the early spring.

A security flaw in Skype's updater process can allow an attacker to gain system-level privileges to a vulnerable computer.
The bug, if exploited, can escalate a local unprivileged user to the full "system" level rights -- granting them access to every corner of the operating system.
But Microsoft, which owns the voice- and video-calling service, said it won't immediately fix the flaw, because the bug would require too much work.
Security researcher Stefan Kanthak found that the Skype update installer could be exploited with a DLL hijacking technique, which allows an attacker to trick an application into drawing malicious code instead of the correct library. An attacker can download a malicious DLL into a user-accessible temporary folder and rename it to an existing DLL that can be modified by an unprivileged user, like UXTheme.dll. The bug works because the malicious DLL is found first when the app searches for the DLL it needs.

Four years after an earthquake devastated Haiti and killed more than 100,000 people, Patricia Brintle is still hard at work rebuilding her homeland.
The Whitestone artist’s nonprofit From Here to Haiti is hosting its third annual art show Jan. 18-19 to raise money to fund the reconstruction of schools, orphanages and churches.
The nonprofit was founded in 2010 in the earthquake’s aftermath and its members have traveled to Haiti multiple times a year to help reconstruct buildings in rural parts of the country. Brintle said these areas are still in dire need of help, as most of the recovery money has been spent in the main urban centers.
“Haiti has struggled so much. This is a country that for some reason has never been able to get a footing. I don’t want to give up on it,” said Brintle, who left Haiti in 1964 when she was 17.
Some half a dozen volunteers have gone on each trip in past years.
“The volunteers who come over realize how blessed they are and how we really take things for granted,” she said. “Unless you live the experience, you don’t really know for sure how lucky we are.”
Brintle said she finds the projects the nonprofit works on through letters that are sent to her from Haitians in need. Once they choose a project, the nonprofit will raise the necessary funding and then employ locals to help them do the building once they are there.
“It’s important that the whole community gets involved. We help them provide for their families like that — $25 pays the salary of one worker and feeds their family for a couple months.”
From Here to Haiti’s next trip will be in February, when the nonprofit will be rebuilding the roof of a church and building a new sanitary block for a school in two communities. It costs the nonprofit, which has repaired 12 buildings since its founding, $15,000 to rebuild a roof and $5,000 to build new sanitary blocks.
“In American money, it’s not very much, but it does so much over there,” Brintle said.
Work on the projects typically only takes a week as the nonprofit usually hires 60 to 70 locals to do the bulk of the repairs.
Proceeds from the art show will help fund these projects. The show will feature more than 75 Haitian and international artists’ work and will take place at 14-46 Utopia Pkwy. from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. both days.
From Here to Haiti has also facilitated sending items over to Haitian parishes such as church pews, statues, used clothing and balls for children to play with.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has suspended inter-district for all private and public transport means in a bid to contain COVID-19 with reports showing an increase in a surge of cases and community infections.
The announcement is part of the list of measures that President Museveni announced last evening that will strictly be observed under the renewed efforts to curb the COVID-19 second wave in the country.
Although inter-district travel has been banned for 42 days, the president says this measure will be effected starting on June 10, 2021, with a window of three days left to enable school children return home given the fact that schools have also been closed for the same period. Mr. Museveni speaking1……..
President Museveni also announced that selected categories of vehicles have been waived from the inter-district travel restriction including, cargo vehicles with not more than two people, registered tourists’ vehicles, essential and emergency vehicles, save for the districts of Wakiso, Mukono, and Kampala. Mr. Museveni speaking2……
However, public transport within the same district is not banned but vehicle operators have been asked to observe the set SOPs for transport which include; ensuring that all passages have masks, limiting the number of passages to half of the normal vehicle capacity among others.
The president has also suspended communal prayers in mosques and Churches as believers have been asked to pray from their respective homes or make use of the mass media.
However, marriage and burial ceremonies, and vigils have been allowed so long as they don’t exceed 20 people and are held in strict observance of standard operating procedures.
Furthermore, all public gatherings, conferences have also been suspended except for The Cabinet, Parliament, and The Judiciary.
Other suspended activities include; weekly non-food markets and monthly cattle markets, bars, cinema halls, discos, and concerts while Sports events have been allowed to go on without spectators but still under strict observance of sops including testing participants before each game.
Shopping malls and supermarkets have also been allowed to operate under close surveillance for about one week and it is found that they cannot adhere to SOPs, they will be closed.
Mr. Museveni says that unlike in the past, those found in violation of the set guidelines and restrictions will be fined a yet-to-be-set fee by the secretary to the treasury. Mr. Museveni speaking3……
President Museveni emphasized that if Ugandans fail to observe the set guidelines and restrictions, he will be left with no option other than announcing a total lockdown.
To date, Uganda has registered a total of 52,929 covid19 cases. Of these 374 have succumbed to the disease while 43,487 have recovered. END


Taylor Swift Was Owned by Kim Kardashian West — and Internet Misogynists Are Celebrating
Millions of people love Taylor Swift. But there are also people who really hate her. Some appear to hate her at least in part because of her gender, if the offensive, misogynistic language aimed at Swift in the past 24 hours has been any indication.
It all started in February, when Kanye West released "Famous," in which he boasted that he could probably have sex with Swift because he "made that bitch famous." Swift denied having approved the lyric, saying through a representative that she "cautioned [West] about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message." A June 2016 GQ interview with West's wife, Kim Kardashian West, indicated otherwise, with Kardashian West hinting that Swift had approved the song beforehand.
On Sunday night, Kardashian West showed the world her receipts, posting footage of a phone call between Kanye West and Swift to Snapchat. In the footage, Swift seems to approve some — but not all — of West's lyrics, indicating that she had lied about not knowing about the song beforehand:
"And you know, if people ask me about it, I think it would be great for me to be like, 'Look, he called me and told me about the line before it came out. Like, joke's on you guys, we're fine.
Immediately, the anti-Swift backlash began. Social media started throwing a party with the hashtags #KimExposedTaylorParty and #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty. It wasn't long before Swift responded in a tweet, reiterating that she had never approved Kanye calling her a "bitch" in the song.
It's important to note that while the internet has seized on Kardashian West's footage as proof that Swift lied about not approving West's lyrics, it's not entirely clear that that's the case. There are gaps in the video Kardashian West posted, which is obviously edited to support a certain narrative, and we never hear Swift agree to being called "that bitch."
At this point, however, the feud between Swift and Kimye is only peripherally about what West said about her in one of his songs. It's now about the arrival of a moment many have apparently been long awaiting: the moment when everyone who detests Swift can start dancing on her grave.
The problem is, much of the language being used to describe Swift is shockingly misogynistic. For instance, while the word "bitch" may have been absent from Swift's call with West, it's certainly not absent from the conversation about Swift on Twitter.
Commenters on the subreddit r/PussyPassDenied are similarly thrilled that that bitch finally got what was coming to her, with one user writing that Swift's downfall has given him a "justice boner."
The backlash around Swift has been building up for quite some time. In recent weeks, Swift has come under fire for her personal life in particular, such as her very public relationship with actor Tom Hiddleston soon after she broke up with ex Calvin Harris. Hiddleston and Swift's whirlwind courtship prompted a shitstorm of slut-shaming, rude hashtags and one Twitter user's bizarre comparison of her vagina to an overstuffed ham sandwich.
While it's unfair to assume that everyone who's joined the Taylor Swift backlash has done so for sexist reasons. Some, for instance, have pointed out that Swift's reaction plays into a racial narrative wherein white women paint black men as the guilty party to cover their own tracks.
The language used to malign her is jarring nonetheless — particularly when you consider that the driving force behind the feud was West's use of misogynistic language to describe her in the first place. When people use clearly gendered terms like "cunt," "whore" and "bitch" to describe Swift, it's not just an instance of a celebrity being unlikable — clearly, there's a deeper discomfort with Swift at play.
As Bridie Jabou wrote in an op-ed for the Guardian, the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty isn't even about the Kimye/Taylor feud anymore. It's about "suspicion of successful women, resentment of unapologetic women, a need for women to know their place." That's particularly true in light of West's boast in "Famous" that if it weren't for him, no one would even know who Taylor Swift was. While that's objectively untrue (she sold 3.8 million copies of her 2008 album Fearless), the fact that he positioned himself as responsible for her career makes this dispute, as Cassie Werber at Quartz put it, "a public argument about men taking credit for women's success."
That's not to say that Swift doesn't have some qualities that justifiably rankle the internet: she does. She's been rightfully criticized for her white feminism and her uber-curated friend group, as well as her general demeanor of showy perfectionism.
"Swift writes catchy songs about some ex-boyfriends, appears surprised when she wins awards, complains about how she has been represented in a Kanye West song, and is never photographed with a hair out of place," Jabour wrote. "Those are her crimes. And they are apparently unforgivable."
Yes, it's OK for us to roll our eyes at Swift's professionally photographed 4th of July Instagram posts, or her sleek and shiny group of model friends. But does that necessarily mean she deserves to be dragged to death on social media? Kardashian West's posts are distracting us from the conversation we need to be having: Why do men get to claim credit for women's success, and why do they get called bitches when they push back?

NORWALK, Conn. -- Norwalk officials signed an agreement with Head of the Harbor South on Thursday to develop residential and office space in the area of Smith Street and Wall Street.
The agreement was signed by Mayor Harry Rilling and Michael DiScala, managing member of the Head of the Harbor South. Under the agreement, the city will vacate the half-acre property on Smith Street to Head of the Harbor South. The project calls for construction of two structures containing 60 residential units and 6,000 square feet of office space as well as landscaping, sidewalks, a waterfront boardwalk, a public plaza, a gazebo and pedestrian connections between the development and Mill Hill Historic Park.
DiScala said the project is expected to cost around $15 million. Construction is expected to begin in the spring and take 18 to 20 months to complete.
Rilling said the city and the developer worked collaboratively on the project's issues, including parking spaces for the Mill Hill site, which is being made Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant. They worked with the Historical Commission to resolve the issues. Of the 120 parking spaces on the site, 15 will be designated for Mill Hill.
The project is one of several in development for the Wall Street area, along with the POKO Partners affordable housing development and the revitalization of the Wall Street theater.
"People are going to start getting excited about the Wall Street area again, and they're going to start investing in the area, and I think this is the rebirth of Wall Street," Rilling said. "I'd like to thank Mr. DiScala and his group, coming to the table, working through this and making sure that we did all we could to get this project moving forward."
"We think that the Wall Street area will be a unique and sought-after area for people to live, work, play," DiScala said. "It's a great area and we also like the synergism that we're creating between ourselves and the historic Mill Hill project, which is a gem for Norwalk, one of the best kept secrets. Tying these projects together will enhance both the Mill Hill experience and our project and all of Wall Street."

Is it safe to microwave pencil lead?
In general, pencil graphite is not reactive enough to microwaves..
What happens when you microwave lead?
The plates and other dining ware should be fine to eat off of — you just don’t want to heat it in the microwave because lead can potentially seep into your food.
Does microwaving pencil lead make diamonds?
The gas is turned into a plasma by very high heat and diamond will “condensate” on the seed structure over time. Pencil leads are mixed with clay and are impure and not terribly suitable to make diamonds, even if you could plasmatize the graphite.
Can a microwave catch on fire?
Microwaves can start fires if certain materials placed inside begin to heat up and burn, which causes a fire. These fires are never fun, especially when it ruins your precious microwave and meal. While microwave fires are quite common and do happen sometimes, there are way to avoid them from happening ahead of time.
Does Waterford Crystal have lead in it?
The crystalline contains many of the same high quality materials/ingredients as our crystal product, however there is no lead content. … Take for example Waterford Crystal which has a lead oxide content of over 33%, whereas full lead crystal is classed in excess of 24% lead oxide content.
Does glass break in the microwave?
Is glass microwave safe? Yes, glass is almost always microwave safe. If you get a new piece of glassware that isn’t specifically marked as microwave safe, try using the steps we provided to quickly test the container.
Can you microwave lead crystal?
Dishwasher heat, friction and detergent can dull or scratch the surface. Extreme temperatures can crack or break your crystal/glass. Avoid pouring hot liquids into cold crystal/glass, or very cold liquids into warm crystal /glass. Do not use product in a microwave or conventional oven.
Is microwaving metal toxic?
In general, putting metal in the microwave is unsafe—not because you are at risk of bodily harm (though in extreme cases a fire might be started in your microwave)—but because it could potentially damage your microwave.
What happens if you microwave lead?
According to the Smithsonian, microwaving in old plates and mugs that are over 40 years old can cause lead from the glaze to seep into your foods. You can test your old tableware with lead testing kits to make sure this isn’t a threat.
Can a microwave explode?
As others have mentioned, microwaves themselves don’t explode, they heat things. … If that water gets hot enough to become steam, you get an explosion because the steam produces high pressure on the inside of the food and there’s no balancing force to keep the food together.
Can I microwave glass cup?
From my observation, most manufactured glassware and mugs are microwave safe so long as they do not have metal gilding. … You can test your mug by filling it with water and then heating it for ~30 seconds. The water should be hotter than the mug. If the mug/glass is hotter than the water, do not use it for microwaving.

We have three baby Bald Eagles -- a real rarity. They rarely lay more than two eggs, and typically only one chick survives. All three of these chicks appear to be doing very well!
This Bald Eagle nest is just below my house, in a tree just back from the Potomac River. I am shooting these pictures with my Nikon P610 60x zoom camera from a small park that is on the edge of the palisade cliffs cut by the river.

PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!
The most important thing right now is taking them to the vet. If the kitties do in fact have a cold, it is possible they may not make it, but thats not for sure. 1 week old kittens have little to no immune system so unfortunately once they get an illness, their body is not always able to fight it. But the fact they are with their mom is really good. I would get a vet to check them out as soon as possible and see what they say.
Most likely it is URI (upper respiratory infection), very common in cats and kittens under stress and highly contageous to other cats/kittens. In other words, if one kitten developed it, the others will get it. The good news is that if treated appropriately, it is rarely life threatening,. The vet will probably prescribe a course of antibiotics. It is also important to make sure the kittens stray warm. Kittens aren't born with a fully functional immune or metabolic systems and it takes a few weeks before they are able to regulate their own body temperature, so the ambient temperature needs to be about 90 degrees. Also make sure that they continue to suckle. If not you may need to force feed them.
The thing is we checked properly and One has it...
Like it has something stuck in its throat?..
The cat had them under a small table apro half a meter away from a radiator and behind my sofa we put a blanket down incase it was something off the floor that may have got stuck somehow, They are all suckling inc' the one with the 'cough' although sometimes we have to put it on the nipple of my cat but we stroke her first and she HASNT disowned it..
It's just scaryy.
I know how worrisome and frustrating it can be to have a sick kitty. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. What did your vet say? It could be that the one kitten has some kind of esophogeal defect that it was born with. Are the other kitties showing the same symptoms? How many are there? It sounds like they are staying warm enough and not in any king of draft. I hope your vet has seen them and gotten to the bottom of their plight.
there were 4,.. and no not that we know of... Its hard to tell they are all shuffling aroundd....
They are seeing the vet in about 2 hrs...
It just sounds like something is stuck in its throatt....
I dontt want it to die haha
