The conservative group Judicial Crisis Network announced Monday evening that they are launching a $1.4 million ad campaign going after swing votes to confirm President Trump’s nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, to the Supreme Court.
“Judge Kavanaugh is a home run,” Carrie Severino, the group’s chief counsel and policy director said in a statement. “Like Gorsuch, Judge Kavanaugh is brilliant, fair and independent, committed to following the law and honoring the Constitution. I look forward to the confirmation of another great justice.”
The ad touts Kavanaugh's excellent record at Yale Law school, his Bush-era White House career, and his bipartisan confirmation as a federal judge. The video compares him to Justice Gorsuch saying he applies the Constitution "just as it was written."
The ad campaign will appear in the states of four red-state Democrats in West Virginia, Indiana, North Dakota and Alabama.
Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Joe Donnelly (D-IN) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) are up for re-election in these states which Trump won in 2016. All three voted to confirm Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court.
These three Democrats declined an invite to the White House Monday evening when Trump announced Kavanaugh as his nominee.
The ads also target Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL), who won a special election against the highly controversial GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Judicial Crisis Network has also spent a good amount in past Supreme Court nominations, announcing they would spend up to $7 million to stop Merrick Garland, President Obama’s pick to replace the late Justice Scalia. They pledged up to $10 million to support now-Justice Gorsuch.

The Sturmgeschtz III (StuG.III) has the distinction of being Germany’s most widely produced AFV of WWII, with 10,619 eventually manufactured. Based on the chassis of the Panzer III, it was cheaper and faster to build since it did not have a rotating turret. The Ausf.E, equipped with a short-barreled 75mm StuK37 L/24 gun, was produced from September 1941 through to March 1942. Some 272 rolled off Germany’s factory floors in that period. This new StuG.III Ausf.E boasts a many great new parts, like complete new superstructure roof, engine deck, 75mm short-barreled gun. Besides, road wheels, return rollers and track come as a single subassembly for easy assembly.

- Mahindra introduces ROXOR, creating a new sub-category in the Side x Side powersports segment
- Mahindra’s auto business began 70-years ago with a license to build Willys vehicles for the Asia region.
- Mahindra launches new powersports dealer network to distribute ROXOR
AUBURN HILLS, MI – March 3, 2018 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Automotive and powersports journalists from across the country, along with high-ranking federal and state officials, gathered today for the public unveiling of Mahindra’s ROXOR—a new, off-road vehicle that signifies Mahindra’s commitment to introducing their tough, no-nonsense automotive heritage to consumers in the North American market. ROXOR’s design demonstrates that Mahindra intends to stay true to their roots of industrial-grade construction and durability.
“Mahindra’s 70-year automotive history has been forged by making authentic, rugged, purpose-driven vehicles; ROXOR is the embodiment of this history…and our brand,” Mahindra Managing Director Pawan Goenka stated.
Unlike the plastic-bodied, belt-driven vehicles long accepted in the Side x Side category, ROXOR offers a simple, hard worn approach, featuring a steel body on a boxed steel frame, a heavy-duty Mahindra turbo-diesel 4 cylinder engine, and an automotive style 5-speed manual transmission.
“The ROXOR creates a new sub-segment in the Side x Side industry, and the response we’re getting from our newly appointed dealer body has been really outstanding. We have a National Dealer Meeting scheduled on March 18-20th, in San Antonio, Texas, where we’ll sit down and discuss the roll-out and future product offerings. We’re approaching our goal of 300 ‘1st wave’ dealers, and expect that we’ll reach this target between now and the end of the show,” said Rick Haas, Mahindra North America Automotive’s President and CEO.
ROXOR was conceived, designed, engineered and is being produced in Metro Detroit by Mahindra Automotive North America (MANA). MANA is part of the $19B Mahindra Group and recently opened a new NA Automotive headquarters and manufacturing center in Auburn Hills, MI. MANA’s new operation is the central component of the 400,000 sq. ft. (spanning 3 facilities) footprint Mahindra now has in Metro Detroit, and is the first OEM manufacturing/assembly facility to open operations in Southeast Michigan in over 25 years.
Mahindra Automotive North America has, to date, created 300 new jobs and invested over $230 million into Southeast Michigan. As both ROXOR production and other programs ramp up, Mahindra anticipates creating an additional 400 jobs and investing another $600 million in the local economy by 2020.
Mahindra Automotive North America (MANA) is Mahindra’s North American automotive headquarters. In addition to leading all North America activity, MANA is a comprehensive automotive design, engineering and vehicle development center. Established in 2013 and located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, MANA’s team of veteran executives, engineers and designers working with affiliate Mahindra automotive teams in India, Korea and Italy, is playing a key role in growing Mahindra’s global automotive business.

The main residence inheritance tax allowance has by risen £25,000, reducing the death duty burden for thousands of families.
The allowance was introduced in April last year and was set at £100,000. In April this year it rose to £125,000 and will rise to £175,000 by 2020.
It only applies to a person’s home, not the rest of their estate.
When added to the £325,000 nil-rate band for inheritance tax, it currently provides a combined tax-free band of £450,000. This will rise to £500,000 by 2020.
Married couples can combine their allowances. When one partner dies, their share of the estate is passed on to their spouse free of any inheritance tax.
This means that by 2020, a married couple could have a combined allowance of £1m.
However, the allowance is only available when the property is left to “direct descendants”. It doesn’t apply to trusts.
Meanwhile, the Office of Tax Simplification is carrying out a review of inheritance tax thresholds to bring them up to date. For example, the maximum sum that can be gifted tax free has been frozen at £3,000 a year since 1981, when it would have been enough for a deposit on an average home.
It’s estimated that bringing this and other tax benefits in line with modern day prices could benefit up to three million people a year.

Republican Atheists’ President Lauren Ell was a guest speaker for a Young Americans for Liberty meeting at University of California, Riverside (UCR) in Riverside, CA on May 8, 2017. This was Republican Atheists’ first public presentation.
During the presentation Ell discussed her background of being a Republican atheist and how she came to develop Republican Atheists, a nationally and internationally recognized organization. She highlighted her experiences of communicating with the atheist community through Facebook groups. She also discussed being a resident of Sweden and researcher of current mass migration in Europe since 2015.
Ell provided detail about Republican Atheists’ board members Brandon Phinney, New Hampshire State Representative, and Robert M. Price, Ph.D. She noted Phinney and Price provide excellent knowledge to Republican Atheists. Ell closed the presentation by discussing the goals of the organization.
To Ell’s surprise, the audience was so intrigued by the presentation that the Q&A session lasted nearly as long as the presentation itself. Students asked about the atheist community as well as mass migration and public sentiment in Europe. Some students stayed after the presentation to speak directly with Ell.
One member of Young Americans for Liberty asked if Republican Atheists would be interested in participating in a future event at UC Riverside to share information with students. Ell mentioned Republican Atheists would be happy to participate once it finds a board member based in Southern California, otherwise a live streamed interview over the internet is possible.
Young Americans for Liberty is a nationwide organization that seeks to spread ideas of limited government, free markets, sound money, non-intervention and maximum individual liberty. Visit the home page for Young Americans for Liberty to learn more.
Republican Atheists thanks Young Americans for Liberty, UCR, for the opportunity to speak. To schedule Republican Atheists to speak at future events please contact us.

Nearly three decades after the world banned chemicals that were destroying the atmosphere’s protective ozone layer, scientists said Thursday that there were signs the atmosphere was on the mend.
The researchers said they had found “fingerprints” indicating that the seasonal ozone hole over Antarctica, a cause of concern since it was discovered in 1984, was getting smaller. Although the improvement has been slight so far, it is an indication that the Montreal Protocol — the 1987 treaty signed by almost every nation that phased out the use of chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs — is having its intended effect.
Full recovery of the ozone hole is not expected until the middle of the century.
“This is just the beginning of what is a long process,” said Susan Solomon, an atmospheric chemist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and lead author of the study, published in the journal Science.
Ozone high in the stratosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun. But ozone is destroyed by reactions with chlorine and other atoms that are released by CFCs and similar chemicals, which were used for decades as refrigerants and propellants.
More ultraviolet radiation leads to increased incidence of skin cancers, cataracts and other health problems.
Scientists who pushed for the Montreal Protocol always acknowledged that recovery of the ozone layer would be very slow, because CFCs linger in the stratosphere for a long time.
“Think of it like a patient with a disease,” Dr. Solomon said. “First, it was getting worse. Then it stopped — it was stable but still in bad shape.”
Now, she said, “as molecules slowly decay away from the atmosphere, it’s getting just a little bit better.”
David Fahey, a research physicist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who was not involved in the ozone study, said Dr. Solomon’s work “gives us a critical level of confidence that we are moving in the direction we want to see.”
It also reinforces that the Montreal Protocol has been a “resounding success,” Dr. Fahey said. “It stands head and shoulders above any other environmental treaty.”
While ozone has been depleted in the Arctic and mid-latitude regions as well, the destruction over Antarctica is greater, in part because temperatures there are so cold. Technically, the depleted area is not a hole, but rather a large region of the stratosphere — in some years, it is larger than the North American continent — where the concentration of ozone is below a certain threshold.
Because the reactions that cause ozone to be destroyed require sunlight, this thinning begins each year in late August, when winter in the Southern Hemisphere is ending, and reaches its maximum by September and October. The ozone layer recovers later in the year, and then the cycle repeats.
Ozone depletion is a complex process that is affected by variables like temperature, wind and volcanic activity. So Dr. Solomon and the other researchers looked at data from satellites and balloon-borne instruments taken each September. That made it easier to separate the effects of the decline in chlorine atoms from the other factors. They also compared the data with the results of computer models.
The study found that the ozone hole had shrunk by about 1.5 million square miles, or about one-third the area of the United States, from 2000 to 2015.
A 2009 analysis by NASA scientists showed what the world would have been like had there been no Montreal Protocol, and CFC production and use had continued. By midcentury, their simulations showed, the ozone hole would have covered the world, and at noon on a clear summer day in a city like New York, the UV index, a measure of the damage the sun can do, would have caused a noticeable sunburn on unprotected skin in 10 minutes.
That dire situation has been avoided thanks to society’s collective efforts, Dr. Solomon said.
“We are seeing the planet respond as expected to the actions of people,” she said. “It’s really a story of the public getting engaged, policy makers taking action, and business getting engaged.”

Our standard top products have again with dignity prove their value at the recent World Championship (held at Benesov near Prague) and at the Festival (F5A, F5B, F5D).
Top pilots successfully use standard series production schulze products!
It is certainly no exaggeration to say that more than half of all the participants were using schulze chargers. The share of European users is even larger. The Australian and Japanese teams use besides the isl 6 also the isl 8-936g chameleon h
igh end for charging and maintenance of their batteries.
Our congratulations to the German F5D team (Pylon) on their outstanding first place!
The inside of the tent of the pylon pilots with „subscribed“ winning positions resembled a schulze - isl 8 shop display.
A striking view were the 7 cell battery packs vertically plugged into the isl 8 via directly soldered 4 mm gold plugs.
It is really a tremendous achievement that all charging outputs of the schulze chargers are protected against reverse polarity!
Our congratulations to the German F5B-team (course/gliding) on their fantastic top placement!
We congratulate Guntmar Rüb on his fourth place, with his series production Plettenberg brushless direct drive 370/30/A2 and also series production schulze three phase motor controller mcd99-45bo he managed to complete 36 courses
- the same amount as the winner !
We are, of course, also obliged to pay credit to the design of the mcd 99 with its 18 Power Mosfets, reacting to the brute braking maneuvers of Guntmar's explosive way of instantaneously folding back the prop blades and hitting the fuselage, crea
ting standing ovations from the animated spectators. Guntmar's flight approach with the close proximity to the gate took about 4-6 s of motor run time)
Also the Ex-World Champion Rudi Freudenthaler was able to achieve an outstanding fifth position by using the „duo“ Plettenberg Direct Drive 370/30/A2 (a sure warranty for no gear problems) in connection with the schulze mcd99.
An unforeseen application of an additional mcd99-45bo emerged due to the „replacement“ of a damaged controller of the Australien F5B team.
In the class F5A (aerobatics) we congratulate:
1st place of Lionel Mlinaric, France!
2nd place of Peter Lumpe, Germany!
3rd place of Dirk Menge, Germany!
It is certainly not by coincidence that all top pilots were using schulze (or schulze-manufactured Graupner) controllers.
We asked and received an answer: Others are talking about...
schulze controllers & regulators can precisely and dependable control motors of more than 1 Kilowatt power output at partial load conditions.
schulze controllers and regulators can safely handle motors at cell numbers and currents advertised in the operating instructions!
... and even more important:
At schulze you can buy exactly the same controllers & regulators which have been used by world champions:
Standard off-the-shelf products -
designed to win!
schulze products are designed with the intent to produce the highest application benefit and Published data is warranted!
This also is the reason why our warranty time on articles of own production amounts to a full year!
A life insurance for your equipment, where else can you find that today?

Jessie J Thought She Missed Her Chance
Jessie J talking about how the first label she was signed to ended up going bankrupt in an interview clip at Vevo. “I decided to kind of go around the UK labels to try and get signed, but no one wanted to sign me,” Jessie said. “I don’t think it was a thing where people didn’t like what I was doing, but at the time there was Adele, Duffy, Amy [Winehouse], VV [Brown], Gabriella [Cilmi], there was loads of females that kind of got to dominate the industry, and I think I just missed my chance. So I kind of said to Sony I want to fly to America. I want to see what I can do out there.” Watch the video below.

Neurodiagnostics analyzes and monitors nervous system function to promote the effective treatment of neurological diseases and conditions. Technologists record electrical activity arising from the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves using a variety of techniques and instruments. North Oaks offers Routine EEG (Electroencephalogram), Ambulatory EEG, and Video EEG Monitoring.
What is the purpose of an EEG? (Electroencephalography)
An EEG measures and records the electrical activity of the neurons (brain cells). EEG is the common diagnostic test ordered by healthcare providers when epilepsy is suspected. A routine EEG provides a 20- to 40-minute sample of brain electrical activity, which is often sufficient to help the physician make a diagnosis. Other clinical uses of EEG include: tumors, stroke, head trauma, encephalopathy and brain death.
An ambulatory EEG, can record up to 72 hours of EEG activity with a special recorder that is slightly larger than a portable cassette player. This recorder allows you to go about your normal routine while the EEG is being recorded. Individuals and their family members document the symptoms and abnormal behaviors which can be correlated with the EEG to identify seizures.
A physician may order an ambulatory EEG for a number of reasons:
- To diagnose epilepsy and determine what type of seizures are occurring.
- To distinguish epileptic seizures from other types of seizures that may include fainting spells or migraines.
- To count the number of seizures in patients with epilepsy.
- To evaluate periods of memory lapses.
- To monitor how well anti-epileptic seizure medication is working.
- To study events that occur sporadically.
Neurodiagnostic Services are provided at the following location:
North Oaks Medical Center

I always like to try at least one new recipe each Christmas. This past year I was looking for breakfast items as I have more than enough cookie recipes already. I came across this recipe for Peppermint Mocha Scones. I like peppermint, I like mocha, I like scones. Seemed worth a try.
Search This Blog
Wednesday, January 3, 2024
It actually came out fairly well, though despite similar ingredients and technique, nothing like scones. More like a cake, really, though not overly sweet. Would I make it again? Yes, definitely.
First things first. You can actually buy pre-crushed candy canes, and the fact that I had a bag on hand probably gave me a push towards trying this recipe. I bought mine at Yupik, but I don’t think they exist outside of Montreal. I’ve heard they can sometimes be found at Walmart or The Bulk Barn. Anyway, what you need to know is that six crushed candy canes is roughly ¾ cup.
The amount of peppermint called for was perfect. Enough, but not overpowering. And the remaining ¼ cup of candy cane dust sprinkled over the top gives it that festive look.
I’d probably leave out the optional coffee powder next time. The one I used (an espresso powder), even though I used less, was too strong, masking the cocoa.
Rather than patting the dough into a nine-inch pan and then dumping it out on the counter to be cut into wedges, I formed it into a roll, cut it into six slices and baked it in a hamburger bun mould. That gave me rather large servings; we generally cut them half and made them serve two.

it seems like the world has made a lot of progress over the past decade or so when it comes to the wider acceptance of the transgender community, but then a video like this emerges which proves that there’s still a hell of a long way to go before we get where we need to be.
Featured Image VIA
The video was shot over in Dallas, Texas and features a guy named Edward Thomas punching transgender Muhlaysia Booker over to the ground and then proceeding to beat the absolute crap out of her whilst she’s down on the floor, whilst the crowd cheers him on and other people film it, with a couple of people even joining in. It’s pretty brutal and distressing so if you don’t want to get upset by it, I would suggest not watching it below:
I mean that’s a pretty horrific beating, regardless of whether or not the person receiving it was transgender or not.
Following the incident, Booker reported it to police, stating that she was involved in a minor traffic accident which led to this and that the men who attacked her used homophobic slurs throughout the beating. Thomas has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault, with the charge likely to be tried as a hate crime given the language that he used. Hoping that he goes down for a long time because this kind of reaction just isn’t acceptable.
For more of the same, check out this story about a transgender woman finding love with the man who rejected her when she was male. Heartwarming.

We messed up: Corner Cottage has the best breakfast burrito
So, earlier this week, we published a list of nine of the best breakfast burritos in LA. And though we stand by that list (fully, those burritos are, like, amazing), we also know when to admit we're wrong about something.
So let's give it up for the breakfast burrito at Corner Cottage in Burbank, a burrito we egregiously left off of our best breakfast burritos list and aren't afraid to say so. But what makes it so good and worth standing in line for hours for (like a bunch of people do on the weekends)? Jalapenos, for one; density, for two; ratio, for three; and, more than anything, the chop -- a smartly minced knifing that ensures a good mix of ingredients. Top it with their homemade hot sauce, and bingo bango: another one of the best breakfast burritos in LA. For sure.

It’s common to experience painful joints when taking hormone therapy to treat breast cancer — especially drugs like letrozole, anastrozole and exemestane. We put some frequently asked questions about joint pain to our senior clinical nurse specialist, Rachel, based on questions from the Forum.
A: Aching or pain in the joints and muscles is often mild and temporary, although for some people it’s more severe and longer-lasting.
You can use mild pain relief like paracetamol or an anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen. Before using anti-inflammatory pain relief, ask your doctor about the correct dose, how long you should use it for and any possible side effects, especially if you have a stomach ulcer or asthma.
Weight-bearing exercises such as walking may also help to strengthen up your muscles and help to protect the joints in your legs.
If the pain doesn’t improve talk to your doctor as there are other things that can be considered, for example, a referral to a doctor who specialises in pain management or switching to a different hormone therapy drug.
A: For many people, joint pain and stiffness will settle over time when you stop taking hormone therapy. However, for some people, normal wear and tear may mean that you will have some stiffness and pain in your joints as a result of the natural aging process. This is why it’s important, if you are able, to keep your joints as flexible as possible and your muscles strong by doing a combination of weight-bearing exercises like walking or dancing; and muscle-strengthening activities like yoga or lifting light weights.
A: Listening to your body is always important and it might help to have a chat with your treatment team about the pain you are experiencing. While it can be frustrating not to be able to walk as far as you usually do, its good that you are able to keep going. You may find it useful to work up slowly to that next mile and perhaps start some leg strengthening exercises that will help to protect your knees and hips. These videos from an exercise expert may help.
A: It’s really important to carry on taking your hormone therapy as prescribed as it may affect your outlook. Talk to someone in your treatment team before stopping anastrozole. Your doctor may suggest having a break from your treatment to see if it settles or may talk to you about switching you to another hormone therapy, to see if your joint pain improves.
A: It’s not possible to predict how any of these drugs will affect an individual.
The side effects of all three drugs are similar. However, some people may get on better with one drug than another.
For more information about how different treatments may affect you, check out our 'going through treatment' page.

Mitsubishi Outlander’s safety | Don Robinson Mitsubishi Blog | St Cloud, MN
We all want safe vehicles, and we shouldn’t settle for less. Mitsubishi doesn’t sacrifice safety for anything, which is why the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently recognized the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander’s safety with a Top Safety Pick accolade.
The Outlander achieved the top “good” rating in all crash tests, a “superior” for its optional front crash prevention technology, and “acceptable” rating for its available headlights. Don’t let the acceptable headlight rating fool you: The IIHS started rating headlights in 2016 with infamously strict guidelines, so an “acceptable” in headlights amounts to great quality.
“Earning the IIHS Top Safety Pick is a key reason for customers to place the Outlander at the top of their shopping list, proving it one of the most competitive vehicles in the incredibly popular compact SUV segment” said Mark Chaffin, chief operating officer for Mitsubishi Motors North America.
The Outlander utilizes Mitsubishi’s RISE body structure, which strategically places crumple zones and a high tensile strength steel cage to mitigate the damage in a collision and direct it away from the cabin and any passengers.
All Outlander models come standard with numerous safety features including a rearview camera, seven airbags, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Active Stability Control with Traction Control Logic, Hill Start Assist, and an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution.
If you’d like to see the 2019 Outlander’s safety systems and have additional questions, call or visit us at Don Robinson Mitsubishi to schedule a test drive.
When you need to transport a lot of people, you need a big vehicle. And, larger vehicles almost always cost more than their smaller counterparts. But, you don’t have to break the bank to get the right-sized vehicle. The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander was recently ranked number one in Cars.com’s list of the Most Affordable 3-Row Crossovers.
“We designed the 2016 Outlander to be an unmatched value in its segment, so it’s no surprise to us that it leads the way on the Cars.com list of most affordable 3-row crossovers,” said Don Swearingen, MMNA Executive Vice President. Swearingen goes on to say, “from its long list of features, to available advanced safety technologies and a new eye-catching design, the seven-passenger Outlander is a leader in value and reliability.”
The 2016 Outlander has a starting price of only $22,995. And, even if you bump up to the well-equipped SEL trim, it still only starts at $24,995. The new Outlander features over 100 engineering and design improvements over the previous model year, including its new stellar front end design.
When putting together its list of crossovers, Cars.com considered more than just price. It also weighed five years of fuel costs and the car’s residual value after five years. And, to be considered for the list, a vehicle has to come equipped with an automatic transmission, power driver’s seat, rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and a USB port.
The 2016 Outlander SEL has all of these features and more. And, making it even more of a value is the fact that it is backed by an industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
If you are looking for a 3-row crossover that will still leave money in your pocket, then come take a look at the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander available today at Don Robinson Mitsubishi.

New Delhi, Aug 2 (UNI) Senior counsel Soli Sorabjee, representing Madhya Pradesh (MP) government, yesterday assured the Supreme Court that he will sort out all the problems allegedly being faced by the public prosecutor in Prof H S Sabharwal murder case.
Senior counsel Vivek K Tankha appearing for the petitioner, Himanshu Sabharwal, son of late Prof Sabharwal, contended before the court that MP government is guilty of contempt of this court and bacause of it's attitude the Public Prosecutor(PP) is finding it difficult to conduct the case.
During the hearing of Contempt of Court petitions before a bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat and M K Sharma, Mr Tankha also submitted that the Public Prosecutor, who has to go from Jabalpur to Nagpur on every date of hearing, is not being properly paid and MP government is not cooperating with him. This is how the trial is being delayed.
According to the petitioner, the MP government is leaving no stone unturned in protecting and sheilding the real culprits who are the leaders of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad(ABVP), the student wing of ruling BJP in the state.
He said witnesses are being intimidated not to depose before the court.
After the statement of Mr Sorabjee that he himself will sort out the problems being faced by the Public Prosecutor, the apex court verbally directed the Government Counsel to sort out all the problems by August 4 and directed the matter to be lifted for hearing on August 8.
The Supreme Court also expressed its unhappiness with the attitude of the MP government.
Prof Sabharwal was beaten to death for cancelling the students union election of Madhav College in Ujjain.
ABVP leaders Vimal Tomar and Rajeev Ranjan Akela are the main accused in the case.
The apex court stopped short of issuing contempt notice following assurance given by the state government to sort out the problem.

‘WandaVision’ season 1 recap – episode 7: ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’
(Courtesy of Marvel Studios)
"Breaking the Fourth Wall"
Directed by Matt Shakman
By Janice Yun
Feb. 21, 2021 10:48 a.m.
As Westview inches closer and closer to present time, its secrets are catching up with it.
With last week’s episode of “WandaVision” leaving off with the town’s boundaries rapidly expanding – swallowing up the S.W.O.R.D. base and many of its agents – the series’ seventh installment picks up to show a distressed Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) as she loses more and more control over her reality. But a balanced combination of sitcom-style humor and tense Marvel-style faceoffs manages to intricately portray the unraveling of Wanda and her fictitious world.
[Related: ‘Wandavision’ season 1 recap – episode 6]
The show once again fast-forwards to a new decade, drawing from popular sitcoms from the late 2000s and early 2010s that are more familiar to younger audiences. Adopting camera angles and talking heads typical of mockumentary shows like “Modern Family” and “The Office,” the new filming style allows for more insight into the characters’ inner thoughts. Even the episode’s theme song closely resembles that of “The Office,” with a cheery piano melody that suddenly drops into a heavier rock style.
Interestingly, the title sequence displays a montage of items and places with the name “Wanda” written on them with no mention of Vision (Paul Bettany) until the last shot of the sequence. Such a disparity in focus diverges slightly from previous openers in which the couple has shared the spotlight. On top of the subtle opener change, Wanda and Vision also spend the entire day apart from each other – which has never happened before – hinting that the couple is being pulled further apart.
Another distinction in the latest episode is seen in Wanda’s costume change for the new decade. While Wanda was often seen sporting the latest fashion trends in earlier installments, her most recent attire consists of messy hair, sweatpants and a bathrobe. With her not-so-glamorous apparel and separation from her Synthezoid partner, Wanda is depicted as an exhausted housewife having a midlife crisis, foreshadowing some sort of downfall.
Although interactions between the superhuman couple are absent, a refreshing new dynamic develops between Vision and astrophysics whiz Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings), who was absorbed into Westview when Wanda expanded the border. Darcy provides answers regarding Wanda and Vision’s past and even reassures him with a few words of encouragement, making for a sweet and hopeful moment – which Vision is in desperate need of as chaos and danger only seem to grow in the little town.
The presence of such troubles is not lost on the characters, yet the series continues to soften its emphasis on those threats through humor. Though Wanda is clearly breaking down, her worsening state is portrayed through zoom-ins on her spiritless facial expressions and comical dialogue during her talking heads, framing her condition in a much more lighthearted manner. When the absorbed S.W.O.R.D. base morphs into a circus and the agents become circus clowns, another symbol of fun and entertainment is curiously used to mask a dire situation.
[Related: ‘WandaVision’ season 1 recap – episode 5]
But the dangers cannot be hidden by comedy forever, and Marvel harmoniously balances the playful energy with plenty of thrilling, tension-filled scenes. An extremely striking moment takes place as Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) reenters the Hex and undergoes a transformation into a superhuman. Flashback soundbites play in the background, including a moving quote from Captain Marvel, who once called Monica the “toughest kid.” Another intense scene immediately follows as Monica once again faces an angry Wanda, but this time, the agent has her own powers.
And as if there weren’t enough climactic scenes, the episode closes with Wanda visiting Agnes’ (Kathryn Hahn) home and immediately feeling something off with the place. Looking for her twins, she heads down to the basement, which expands into a dark, eerie dungeon. In the last few minutes, the mystery of Agnes’ true identity is finally unveiled as she reveals to Wanda her real name: Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch in the original comics.
In this series of noteworthy scenes, Marvel delivers a fresh new energy in “WandaVision,” with strong and bold female characters as the main protagonists and antagonists. Highlighting Darcy’s brilliance and Monica’s unmatched courage as well as Agatha’s chilling magical abilities, the show beautifully develops the characters of these women throughout its storyline.
While Wanda blurs the line between hero and villain, one thing is clear – whether they’re good or evil, women of power are at the center of the “WandaVision” narrative.

Farm Table says:
Chemical sterilization as an alternative
What is the problem?
Spaying of female cattle is used within the Northern Australian beef cattle industry to prevent unwanted pregnancies and improve economic returns from females that are surplus to breeding requirements.
This research goal was to investigate the effectiveness of three potential chemosterilants to sterilize Bos indicus heifers after intraovarian administration.
What did the research involve?
– The experimental procedures were approved by the James Cook University Animal Ethics Committee.
– Brahman heifers, 23 to 26 months of age (n=40) were obtained for the An observational cross-sectional study from the James Cook University Tropical Veterinary Research Station, Fletcherview (latitude 19°53’4″”S; longitude 146°10’43″”E) located in the dry tropics, of Northern Queensland. Heifers were transported to, and maintained at the James Cook University campus (latitude 19o 19’37’’S, longitude 146o 45’27”E) for at least 3 weeks prior to commencing treatments and at least 2 weeks after completing treatments. Heifers were divided into 5 replicates of 8 animals, with 2 animals/treatment within each replicate (n = 10/treatment.
-Heifers had their oestrous cycles synchronized by administration of an intravaginal progesterone releasing insert (CIDR®, Zoetis Australia, West Ryde, NSW) and administration of oestradiol benzoate (1 mg/500 kg IM, Cidirol, Genetics Australia, Bacchus Marsh, Vic) at the time of device insertion.
3.4 Blood sampling.
-Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein or artery on the day of administering intraovarian treatments (Day 0) and on Days 2 and 7 following treatment.
3.5 Aversion testing.
-The aversion of heifers to the treatment area was assessed by timing the entry of heifers to the treatment area.
3.6 Heart rate monitoring and video recording of behavior.
-Heifers were acclimatized to individual pens for restraint on two separate days before commencing heart rate monitoring.
– Heifers in each replicate were exposed to carried out using a bull 82 (Replicates 2 and 4) or 84 (Replicates 1, 3 and 5) days after treatment and depending on replicate, the bull was removed between 230 to 246 days after the start of treatment.
3.8 Ovarian histopathology and oocyte counts.
-At the time of slaughter ovaries were either placed on ice and returned to our laboratory for processing (Replicates 1 and 2) or processed at the time of slaughter (Replicates 3 to 5).
3.9 Statistical analyses.
-Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to assess mean heart rates and the area under the curve of heart rates, mean concentrations of haptoglobin and bodyweights over time.
What were the key findings?
4.1 Data omissions.
-Data obtained during replicate one was retained for assessment of bodyweights, behaviour at the time of treatment, pregnancy, concentrations of progesterone, intervals to conception and ovarian characteristics as no significant effects of replicate were obtained for these variables.
4.2 Behaviour associated with treatment.
4.2.1 Behaviour at treatment
-Behaviour recorded at the time of administration was recorded as no visible reaction in 75% of animals that were treated with 25% of animals exhibiting mild struggling only.
4.2.2 Aversion testing and rectal temperatures
-The time required for animals to enter the holding crate and the degree of assistance provided was not affected by treatment, day, replicate and no significant interactions were detected.
4.2.3 Heart rate monitoring
-Mean heart rates were found to differ across days.
4.2.4 Behaviour after treatment
-Behavioural characteristics recorded in heifers during a 90 minute observation period after treatment.
4.3 Haematology, acute phase proteins and anti-Müllerian hormone
-Mean total leukocyte counts between Days 0 and 7 following administration of treatments did not differ between treatments.
4.3.2 Acute phase proteins.
-Concentrations of haptoglobin obtained on Days 0 and 7 in heifers in Replicates 2 to 5.
4.3.3 Anti-Müllerian hormone.
-Concentrations of anti-Müllerian hormone between 215 and 222 days after treatment did not differ between treatments.
4.4 Intervals to ovulation and pregnancy.
-Ovulation was detected in every heifer during the monitoring period after treatments were applied.
4.5 Changes in body weight
-Mean body weights over time did not differ between replicates.
4.6 Ovarian characteristics at slaughter.
-Characteristics of ovaries recovered at slaughter from heifers from each treatment group.
5.1 Overall findings
-In order to sterilise female cattle in Northern Australia that are surplus to breeding requirements the ideal treatment would be effective after a single intervention, not have an adverse effect on animal welfare or leave any undesirable tissue residues, be inexpensive and enable animals to be processed in as short a time as possible.
5.2 Ovarian atrophy and mechanism of action
-n this study administration of CaCl2 significantly reduced the paired weight of ovaries compared to heifers treated with saline.
5.3 Animal behaviour
-Treatment with ZG either alone or in combination with CaCl2 in an aqueous base induced changes in behaviour that were consistent with the sensation of pain.
5.4 Heart rates
-Mean heart rates on all of the days on which heart rates were monitored fell within normal reference values for cattle and did not differ between treatments.
5.5 Inflammatory Markers.
-No significant effects of treatment were observed within 7 days of treatment in total white cell counts or concentrations of haptoglobin.
5.6 Anti-Müllerian hormone
-Both the total oocyte count and concentrations of AMH were not significantly affected by treatment.
5.7 Limitations of the study
-This study was the first known attempt to sterilise female cattle by infusing CaCl2 and or ZG. Statistical power was kept to a minimum in case undesirable side effects such as pain occurred in response to treatment.
Treatment with ZG and the combination of ZG and CaCl2 did not affect ovarian mass compared to administration of saline and was associated with behavioral changes that were indicative of pain and, therefore, appear to offer no potential for use as intraovarian chemosterilants in cattle.

Every week, the world is provided with evidence on how our communities are still facing human rights violations. Our friends at ILGALAC published a new book about hate crimes against LGBTI persons in Latin America and the Caribbean. Another report issued by the Human Rights Commission of New Zealand highlighted how discrimination is still a reality for many - especially those living at an intersection of identities, and an OECD study has shown that, although significant improvements have been made over the last decades. countries are only halfway to full legal inclusion of LGBTI people.
This has also been a week of fighting back. In Poland, our communities - who have been defined as “not people” by some politicians during the recent presidential campaign - are standing their ground with a powerful video raising their queer, human voices. In the United States, over 680,000 people are backing an online petition to demand justice for a Black trans person, whose death was initially deemed a suicide by police.
And as we keep on with our fight, we need to rejoice for the good news giving us hope for the future. An Indian high court ruled that, even if same-sex couples aren’t allowed to marry in the country, for them to live together is neither illegal nor a crime. In Gabon, the lower house of parliament has voted to decriminalise consensual same-sex relations.
We have come a long way, and a long way we still have to go. Let’s celebrate our small and big victories, remember the ones we lost - and until we may all march safely in the streets again, we hope to see you at Global Pride: we will be there for you, as always.

Minister for Fair Trading Peter Lawlor has ordered an interim ban on the sale of toy-like novelty cigarette lighters in Queensland.
Minister Lawlor said the lighters, designed to look like toys such as frogs or chickens, posed a potential danger due to their likelihood of finding their way into the hands of children.
“A product made to produce fire should not be targeted towards children,” Mr Lawlor said.
“In addition to these products looking like children’s toys, many of them emit animal sounds which correspond to the design of the toy, to further attract the attention of young kids.
“For example, a frog shaped lighter makes a ‘croaking’ sound and a duck shaped lighter makes a ‘quacking’ sound when ignition buttons are pushed.
“As these sounds are often emitted from the same hole as the flame, a child may hold their ear to the hole to hear the sound and accidentally ignite the lighter, which could result in serious burns.
“The design of these lighters could lead to parents and carers believing the items are toys and buying them inadvertently for their children to play with.
“The other concern is because they are so attractive to young children, they may take and hide them from adults who are using the lighters.
“Having young children playing with lighters is a tragedy waiting to happen.”
Recent statistics from the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service showed that in 2008-2009 there were 29 house fires started by children playing with lighters, matches or candles.
And in the first 6 months of 2009-2010 there have already been 15 of the same incidences.
The interim ban complements a similar ban made by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) late last year.
Breaches of the Fair Trading Act can result in fines of up to $54,000 for individuals and $270,000 for corporations.
More information about product safety and a list of items that are currently banned in Queensland can be found at www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au

I don’t normally eat white flesh potatoes due to their oxidative effects which in turn increases inflammation. However, that doesn’t put white flesh potatoes on the complete red light food map, but more on the caution side.
During intense training, exercise, and competition, we want to decrease all factors of oxidative stress, increase anti-oxidants, and boost recovery. White flesh potatoes may work against us in our desire to achieve optimal health, yet I do not want to demonize them. Consumption can come on a moderate basis, and theres ways we can not make their oxidative effects more pronounced.
To try the healthiest mash potatoes you can eat, check out my
Purple Potato Maple-Pecan Mash
“Compared To What?”
First, lets go deeper and darker down the potato line. Choosing a darker flesh potato has more anti-oxidant properties. Sweet potatoes with orange flesh are a better choice than white potatoes, but Purple Sweet Potatoes are best. This is where we can hit Strategy 005:
Strategy 005: When choosing a food, its not whether or not its healthy as it own, but you have ask the question, “compared to what?”
For example, grains are good, rice is a grain, and since grains are good, rice is there fore good–Right? But there are a lot of different types of rice. Is white rice, good? Now you see, brown rice is better, but even red rice is better than brown and black rice is better that red.
Rice in general? What about Quinoa, barley, or oats? So, you can see you can go general or specific, and you can apply that generally to all forms of fruits, veggies, beans, legumes, starches, nuts, and seeds. Specifically you can ask the same about apples type, cabbage color, and even different teas.
Perception Over Perfection
Okay, this looks confusing at first. It make soy think well I don’t know whats healthier and I just give up.
Don’t be that person. . .
This isn’t about the perfection, and a white potato is not going to kill you! The starch, fiber, and nutrition content seem to balance out to some degree. Even eating white rice is not all that bad compared to eating no grains at all. And so this brings us to Strategy 006:
Strategy 006: The best plant food is not the healthiest one. The best is the one that you will eat the most of.
In another instance, cooking method could follow the same methodology as choosing healthier foods in Strategy 007:
Strategy 007: The healthiest way to prepare a food is the way that you will eat it the most.
Everyone thinks eating plants is so restrictive, but these strategies make it more inclusive than selective and leave you room to grow.
Now, of course there are some TERMS AND CONDITIONS to these statements. We’re talking about WHOLE PLANT FOODS that these guidelines follow. We’re not being sympathetic to eating mash potatoes and duping a ton of butter on them and saying, “hey, this is the best way or me.” That just is not going to fly.
Stay within the realm of applying these strategies to Whole-foods, centered around Plant-Based sources.
Enjoy this Recipe! Let me know what you think!

Board Game Ideas Diy. The first step is to get a nice size of cardboard I used the sides and bottom of a box. Making a Point A to Point B DIY Board Game for Kids.
Cut out and mount on a bulldog clip. Some famous examples of board games to video game transitions are classics like Carcassonne Civilization Ticket to Ride Catan and Axis Allies. DIY ISO-Path Board Game Cut a piece of plywood into a hexagon using a laser cutter or a CNC router and engrave a small hexagon shape on the plywood.
Every good board game comes from some sort of company.
Then why not reclaim some wooden pallets that will be durable and can easily be turned in to corn-hole game boards. Then cut out circles are adhered to the surface to create a path. After that cut small pieces of a hexagon from another piece of plywood and test it on the engraved plywood to make sure the hexagon. A common thread I find throughout all of these titles and more are great game mechanics.


Stone Church Arts Presents Mandolin Festival Ensemble, August 12
August 2, 2018
Stone Church Arts presents Mandolin Festival Ensemble concert 3:00 pm, Sunday, August 12, 2018 at Immanuel Episcopal Church (in the chapel), 20 Church St., Bellows Falls.
BELLOWS FALLS, VERMONT – Stone Church Arts presents Director August Watters, composer and mandolinist, with special guest Ekaterina Skliar, domra and mandolin, in a mandolin ensemble concert at 3 pm on Sunday, August 12. The concert will take place in the Chapel at Immanuel Episcopal Church, 20 Church St. The concert will also feature Celeste McClain, classical guitar, and participants of the Festival of Mandolin Chamber Music X.
Founded by August Watters, a Boston area teacher and composer, the Festival of Mandolin Chamber Music is designed for the classical mandolin community and for concert-goers interested in chamber music. The purpose of the festival is to create learning and performance opportunities for those interested in chamber music composed for mandolin and its related instruments (as well as classical guitar). Participants rehearse in preparation for the concert which is the finale of the workshop.
The festival ensemble is in the vanguard exploring both newly-composed and nearly-forgotten works for classical mandolin ensemble. Directed by August Watters, the ensemble presents a fresh, engaging and enjoyable concert experience for audiences of classical music, traditional folk music, and fans of the mandolin, mandola, mandocello, and classical guitar.
August Watters is a multi-stylistic, improvising mandolinist, composer/arranger, and teacher in the Boston area. He has performed with some of the leading figures in today’s revival of this most elegant instrument, and the advancement of its musical traditions. His work as an interpreter, improviser, composer and arranger bridges contemporary classical music, jazz, folk music traditions, and the historical concert mandolin repertoire.
Ekaterina Skliar is a Philadelphia-based mandolinist and domrist. She made her debut at age 11 with the Russian Folk Instrument Orchestra of the Buryatia Republic. Since then Ekaterina has performed with many chamber ensembles and orchestras and worked with renowned musicians. She has performed throughout Russia and United States giving solo recitals, performing with Russian Folk Instruments orchestras, and chamber ensembles. Her large repertoire includes transcriptions of classical music, original works for domra and mandolin, contemporary and jazz music.
Celeste McClaine earned a Masters of Music (opera performance) from the Longy School of Music of Bard College, and a Bachelors of Music (classical guitar) from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. She has been a stalwart performer with the Mandolin Festival Ensemble since the Festival’s inception in 2013.
Join Stone Church Arts for this Mandolin Festival Ensemble concert on Sunday, August 12 at 3:00 pm in the Chapel at Immanuel Episcopal Church, 20 Church St., Bellows Falls, Vermont. Since the Chapel only holds 60 people, tickets are limited. Tickets are $20.00 general admission ($15.00 for seniors and children under 12) in advance and $25 ($20) on the day of the performance. Advance tickets are available in person at Village Square Booksellers on the Square in Bellows Falls, by phone at 802-460-0110, and online at www.stonechurcharts.org.

Religious leaders from a half-dozen faiths have signed on to a new Vatican initiative to end modern-day slavery by 2020, declaring that human trafficking, forced labor and prostitution are crimes against humanity.I find the inclusion of prostitution very interesting. In both cases it's coupled with forced labor without an Oxford comma, so I'm not sure if the intent is to couple "forced prostitution" with "forced labor," or if it is prostitution per se that is being condemned as a crime against humanity. The Pope's actual remarks suggest it may only be forced prostitution, but it isn't clear there either.
Pope Francis and the Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, were joined Tuesday by the Hindu guru Mata Amritanandamayi, known as Amma, as well as Buddhist, Jewish and Shiite and Sunni Muslim representatives for a signing ceremony of a joint declaration against modern slavery....
Francis has made eliminating human trafficking and modern-day slavery one of the key priorities of his pontificate, instructing the Pontifical Academy of Sciences to focus on it in their academic conferences and studies... . "Here he came into contact with the drug situation, the situation of the excluded — and naturally the most dramatic form of exclusion is slavery, which is forced labor and prostitution," [Bishop] Sanchez Sorondo said in an interview ahead of the ceremony.
It's an interesting question, because St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine both found that prostitution -- though gravely immoral -- probably ought not to be illegal. I dissent from that particular point of argument, but it is a position supported by thinkers with significant authority.


Arindam Sil has announced Khela Jakhon, a thriller venture in the first half of the year. After the initial alterations in the cast, Sil zeroes on Mimi Chakraborty and Anirban Bhattacharya for the lead roles. However, with the changing dynamics of his relationship with SVF, the movie got delayed. Now it is been confirmed, SVF won't bankroll the project anymore. Instead, Camellia Films will now produce the project. The cast will be same as it was decided before. The film will start rolling soon.


Still investigating, but are these files in your root directory malicious, or did you put them there?
...and so on, there are around 19 or 20 of these obfuscated php files with seemingly random filenames.
That translates to something like this:
Check that file path on your site:
Looks like an innocuous backup of the wp-includes folder. But if you dive in you'll find a windows ICO file that contains PHP script:
So this malicious code in your wp-config.php file is being run every time someone visits the site, which in turn runs the code hidden in this .ico file. You've got a hacked site here, and that's about all I can be sure of right now.
Okay the code that was written for the Classifieds plugin requires that you use the Form with the slug "add-another-premium-ad". However on your site, it looks like you are using a different Form, one with the slug "add-new-premium-ad". The code used to update ad credits will not work with any Form except "add-another-premium-ad". You have two options here. You can remove the add-new-premium-ad Form and replace it with the add-another-premium-ad Form, or you can copy all the information from the add-another-premium-ad Form, paste it into the add-new-premium-ad form, and then delete the add-another-premium-ad Form. Then you can change the slug of the add-new-premium-ad Form to be add-another-premium-ad.

Valeo reveals the winners of the second Valeo Innovation Challenge
Paris, September 29, 2015 – Valeo today announced the results of its international innovation contest. For the second year running, Valeo invited students from around the world to play an active role in automobile innovation by designing the product or system that will create smarter, more intuitive cars by 2030.
With participation up 40% on last year, 1,324 teams from 89 countries signed up for a chance to invent and develop bold, revolutionary solutions for the automobile of 2030.
Valeo experts examined a vast number of projects, primarily in the field of driving assistance systems, autonomous driving and safety. The engineering students harnessed all of the opportunities offered by digital technology and adapted them to the automotive sector to improve safety on board as vehicles become increasingly autonomous.
Today the three winning teams were selected by a jury chaired by Valeo Chief Executive Officer Jacques Aschenbroich and made up of eminent figures from the world of science as well as members of the Valeo group.
First prize went to the Chinese team “Falcon View” from Peking University. They came up with a new way for autonomous cars to detect their surroundings. Instead of using lasers, the team built a cheaper wheel-based system, using a camera.
Two teams tied for second place:
- The German team “Auto Gen Z”, from Saarland University developed a connected system, reinforcing traffic safety. This alternative system effectively combines the three mirrors in a car into a single wide screen display.
- The Indian team “M.A.D”, from Sri Aurobindo International Center of Education in Pondicherry, also created a connected system reinforcing traffic safety. Based on satellite navigation, this advanced collision warning system alerts drivers, in real time, from potentially dangerous conditions.
The winning team was awarded a cash prize of €100,000, while the second teams took home €10,000 each.
At the end of the ceremony, Valeo kicked off the third annual Innovation Challenge, which will serve to recognize not only technological innovation, but also ideas for using cars in new ways. A cash prize of €100,000 will be awarded to the winner of each category. Students across all disciplines can sign up now on the contest’s dedicated website.
