When I first went raw, I jumped in with both feet and went 100% raw for 30 days. The first few weeks I found myself eating tons of nuts! I know it’s not uncommon for people transitioning to raw food to overeat nuts, so I decided to share my story and advice about nuts.
Why The Nuts?
Why do most of us immediately reach for the raw nuts and seeds when we switch to a raw diet?
1. We want to feel full.
Since nuts are solid, crunchy, and filling, we have a tendency to use them as a replacement for cooked food. For example, when I first went raw, I would still feel “hungry” after eating a generous salad. I’d eat a handful or two of nuts to get that semi-drowsy feeling I was missing.
2. Nuts are crunchy.
Of course another reason why we might overeat nuts at the beginning is that we miss that crunchy yummy sort of salty feeling. Nuts make a natural replacement for chips, popcorn, crackers, and other snacks. Here’s a quick tip if that’s why you’re reaching for the nuts: try crunching on some celery, or make kale chips!
3. It’s an easy snack food.
You don’t need to wash, cut, or blend anything to eat nuts. If you’re in a hurry or feeling tired, you can just open a jar or reach for a container of nuts and enjoy. There’s nothing wrong with this behavior, but if you’re overeating nuts you will want to prepare adequate snack foods in advance.
Remember that being prepared is half the battle when it comes to eating healthy foods.
Nuts: The Good and The Bad
On the one hand, nuts make us feel full because our body is expending energy trying to digest them. Nuts are harder to digest than fresh fruits and vegetables. In reality we probably wouldn’t be eating tons of nuts in nature, unless they were fresh and in season. How many of us live next to a Brazil nut tree? That’s what I thought.
Nuts have tons of great nutritious qualities, and I don’t think we should shun them entirely. The healthy oils found in nuts are full of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for the brain, and for keeping your stress levels under control. Alternative sources of omega-3 fatty acids include chia seeds and flax seeds.
Most people have an easier time digesting seeds than they do digesting nuts. Also, the reason why more people are allergic to nuts than seeds is that nuts tend to go rancid if kept on a shelf for too long a time.
The Nutty Conclusion
So what’s the verdict? No, you won’t go insane if you eat too many nuts. But try to limit yourself to one handful per day, since they are hard to digest. If you feel bloated or gassy after eating nuts, cut down.
Also, you should avoid eating nuts with fresh fruits since that will definitely cause some discomforts and gas!
Other than that, go nuts. :D

Linda: Happy couples hold each other with what Carl Rogers calls “unconditional positive regard”. Successful couples know how to be fully present with each other with an open heart. Over time, they have been deliberately cultivating an appreciation of each other. To become accomplished at this heightened state of love, a regular practice is required. Appreciating the basic goodness of our partner stems from the enhanced ability to know and accept that which is in ourselves, both the darkness and the glorious light. It is that very self-knowledge and self-acceptance that opens the heart of compassion.
Metta is a time-honored tradition in Buddhism which has been practiced in a formal way for thousands of years. It always begins with us. Silently in our heart, we repeat the words designed to send loving kindness straight to our own heart. May I be happy; may I be peaceful; may I be free from suffering. I am taking breaths through my heart to wish myself well. May I be happy just as I am; may I be peaceful with whatever is happening; may I be liberated; may I be free from danger; may I be free from mental suffering, may I be free form physical suffering, may I have ease of well-being. I am sending myself as much tenderness and care and warmth as I can. May I be happy; may I be free of danger; may I be free from suffering; may I be peaceful; may I be free. Many repetitions deepen the effect.
Now I am bringing to mind my beloved partner who is a true support, and I am enjoying that natural, spontaneous feeling of loving kindness that I have for them. When I bring them to mind, I notice the warmth in my heart. I now consciously choose to expand that warmth by sending you my blessing. May you be free from danger; may you be free from mental suffering; may you be free from physical suffering; may you have ease of well-being. Breathing in and out of my heart, I am wishing you well. May you be happy; may you free of danger; may you be free from suffering; may you be happy; may you be peaceful; may you be liberated; may you be peaceful; may you be free.
In the traditional form of Metta, there are additional rounds when you next call forth the image of an acquaintance, someone who you are not particularly close to, but are willing to extend kindness to them enlarging your circle of care. Then the meditator is challenged to imagine someone in their life that is difficult. The Buddhists refer to this person as a “near enemy”. Stretching to bless them with kindness makes one a bigger person. And finally the intentional blessing is extended to all of humanity by envisioning people all over the globe.
Researchers are documenting the beneficial effects of practicing Metta. They are finding we:
- Less critical of self
- Less critical and judgmental of others.
- Less focused on self and more connected to others.
- Have an increase in positive emotions such as contentment, gratitude, hope, joy, and love.
- Have greater clarity of our life purpose
- Experience deeper life satisfaction
- Have higher levels of empathy and compassion for self and others.
- Noticing that the practice alleviates physical pain
- Even slow the aging process.
To take on loving-kindness meditation is a great contribution to the well-being of our partnership. We thereby cultivate the mind habit of holding our partner with respect and gratitude. When the inevitable difficulties appear in life, we are fortified by our strong loving connection. And that’s one terrific insurance policy to take out that will protect us when difficult times come. And in the meanwhile, we can reap the benefits of living with sweet, kind, and loving thoughts in our mind. Don’t take my word for it; try out Metta and see what unfolds for you.

Icon Marina: Luxury residences on the coast of Granada
Text: Kiki Deere | Photos: Top Gestión
Located in a protected marine reserve in Punta de la Mona in the Province of Granada, the residential complex of Icon Marina comprises 87 two- and three-bed apartments commanding sweeping vistas of the largely untouched coastline. The apartments offer direct access to Marina del Este, a pretty marina in a picturesque cove in the seaside town of La Herradura.
“As well as having an enviable seafront location, Icon Marina is perfectly situated to reach the region’s major points of interest,” explains director general María Emilia Alarcón. “The apartments are 50 minutes from Malaga Airport and the Moorish city of Granada, with high-speed AVE rail connections to cities throughout Spain, and it’s only an additional 35 minutes from Granada to the ski resorts of Sierra Nevada”.
Offering diverse landscapes, the Province of Granada in the south of the Iberian peninsula has some of the mildest climates in Europe, with over 300 days of sunshine a year and an average annual temperature of 19 degrees. It’s home to a variety of landscapes from gorgeous beaches to sweeping plains as well as the snowy mountains that form part of the Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in the Iberian peninsula.
In summer, there are water sports aplenty, including kite surfing, diving, and paragliding, while in winter, Sierra Nevada offers some of the country’s best skiing. In spring, when the snow begins to melt and the days become longer, you can nip off for a morning of skiing and enjoy a swim in the sea in the afternoon, with both easily reachable from Icon Marina.
Spread out over four buildings, the complex blends in with the surrounding landscape. Interiors are breezy and well lit, with plenty of natural light flooding in through large windows, while the spacious terraces are the perfect spot to sit back and soak up the vistas of the glistening Mediterranean Sea. Carefully designed to take advantage of the wonderful sea views, the apartments have spacious interiors: two-bedroom apartments with an average floor area of 80 square metres, while the three-beds measure 95 metres.
Architecture studio A-CERO is behind the contemporary design. “Led by renowned architects Joaquín Torres and Rafael Llamazares, A-CERO is one of Spain’s most renowned architecture firms designing properties for the high-end residential development market,” explains CEO Óscar Presa.
With their stylish interiors and enviable beachfront location, the apartments at Icon Marina are ideally suited either as a principal residence or a second home, offering peaceful seclusion and easy access to the province’s wealth of attractions throughout the year.

At the turn of the twenty-first century, the New York City music scene floated in a surfaceless orbit of samplers, shoegazers, and delay pedals. The city's guitars lay choked by a digital fog, or else they lay dustily forgotten. Then, in 2002, an unbridled five-song EP by an unknown band brought noise, sex, passion, and mayhem back to the stage and to the stereo. The band's name evoked the kid who knows that whoever's in charge is full of s**t -- "yeah, yeah, yeah" -- but it also rang with the affirmation of pure rock and roll: F**k yeah! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' first full-length album, Fever to Tell, was simultaneously filthy, infectious, sloppy, and brilliant. You could dance to it, and you could probably die to it. "Maps" was nominated for a Grammy, and the record went gold in the UK.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs spawned a new breed of power trio. They work together as a single organism, but each member maintains their own personality and contributes their own strengths. Think of them as a three-piece Earth, Wind, and Fire. On second thought, it's probably better if you didn't do that. Brian Chase's drumming couldn't be tighter or more precise, even as the band descends into the pitch-dark caves of noise he frequents in his free-jazz spare time--and one can hear rigor and experiment behind even his simplest, no-frills (or -fills) rhythms. Nick Zinner's guitar pushes back--hard--against Chase's formalism, grounding the group in rock and roll at its ballsiest, dirtiest, and most shredly. His soaring, sometimes grinding lines are wires connecting Chase's drums to the psychologically kaleidoscopic vocals of Karen O, who, as the New Yorker has noted, would have been a success "had she appeared with nothing more than a microphone and a pair of maracas."
The band developed an itchy and unshakeable aversion to repeating itself. It would have been easy enough to record another spastic, live-sounding garage album after the success of Fever, but their next full-length, 2007's Show Your Bones, added acoustic guitar and more serious compositions that picked up on the direction suggested by a song like "Maps." Rolling Stone called the record a "textural triumph," and the group honed their legendary stage performance -- one cannot understand the Yeah Yeah Yeahs without seeing Karen O writhing and thriving onstage. A handful of great songs that didn't make it onto Bones became tour staples (and fan favorites), and the band sat down with the celebrated PiL/Slits/Gang of Four producer Nick Launay to record 2007's EP Is Is.
Last year, the Yeahs shook their Etch A Sketch® clean to start work on a new record with producers Dave Sitek and Nick Launay. "We usually go into these things totally blind," Karen O said. "We have no idea what's going to happen when we sit down." This empty page feeling was helped by geography: they began writing the record in the middle of a snowstorm, in a hundred-year-old barn in rural Massachusetts. "You looked out the window and it was just pastures and pastures of snow-covered fields," she said. Zinner had brought along a synthesizer to work with during the writing session, not expecting it to end up on the album. "That was an old keyboard I bought on eBay," he said. "Literally, it was the first day we were setting up, plugging things in. Ten minutes later, we'd written that song 'Skeletons.'" The song--and the whole record--have a new feeling of space and atmosphere that's unusual for the band. "Obviously, synths have been in rock music forever," Zinner says. "But to us it feels new, which is all we really care about--that excitement."
It's Blitz! signals both a glance backward and a step forward for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Zinner's vintage Arp--the same model used on records by The Cars, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk--contributes atmospheric washes ("Skeletons"), disco wiggles ("Dance till you're dead!" Karen sings on "Heads Will Roll"), and New Wave melodrama ("Soft Shock"). The first single, "Zero," combines all these elements to create a dance-floor anthem that sings directly to the listener. "We've got a death grip on the adolescent way of feeling things," O said. That's something I'll never be able to shake in the music I write. It's almost feels like a John Hughes 80s movie." But acknowledging the past in this way doesn't sound make for a nostalgic-sounding album. "I think there's a cool stability reflected in this record," Brian Chase says. "It reflects our transformation, and how we've developed as people."

Latino Leadership in the ValleyBrief Remarks – CSU UpdateChancellor Joseph I. CastroOctober 12, 2021
Thank you, Malia, and good morning! It’s great to be with you today and among so many longtime friends.
Latino Leadership in the Valley is an organization that is near and dear to my heart. As most of you know, Artie and I created this group back in 2017 as a way to bring together Latino leaders from across professions and sectors, in a welcoming space where we can get to know one another, discuss common issues and support each other for the benefit of the entire community – and I couldn’t be happier to see it going strong almost five years later.
And I am also happy to share that the CSU is a direct beneficiary of the group’s extraordinary work as many of you know, Yamillette Rodriguez – a founding board member of the Central Valley Latino Leadership Academy – was recently appointed by Governor Newsom to serve on the CSU’s Board of Trustees and I am certain that the leadership skills she honed in the Central Valley, along with her compassionate heart and her dedication to the Cal State mission and core values, will benefit our students, and our state, for many years to come.
This morning, it’s my pleasure to update you on the CSU – where we stand as we emerge from the pandemic, thoughts on a few of our priorities moving forward, and information about a few new programs that will help us to advance those priorities.
It was last December when my predecessor, Chancellor Emeritus White, and I jointly announced the CSU’s intention to return to primarily in-person classes and activities this fall. While I have to admit that there were a few moments while monitoring the public health data when I wasn’t sure whether we’d be able to pull that off, I’m pleased to report that we’ve been largely successful in achieving that goal. And with a vaccination mandate in place, as well as strong masking policies, extensive testing, and strict sanitation protocols, we’ve been able to do so while safeguarding the health and well-being of our students, faculty and staff.
And through the pandemic, our students have continued to thrive. In fact, last May, almost 133,000 students earned degrees across our 23 campuses – an all-time high. Graduation and persistence rates are also at record highs for students from all backgrounds.
My time this morning is far too short to appropriately thank everyone who helped make this happen:
But, of course, the credit really belongs to our students who again and again demonstrated ingenuity, adaptability, endurance, resilience and resolve to overcome the historic and unprecedented challenges of the past year and a half. It’s something I will always admire and never forget.
And while we’re rightfully proud of our successes through the pandemic, there remains much work to do. At the top of the list is eliminating equity gaps. I mentioned earlier that graduation rates are at all-time highs for students from all backgrounds. However, stubborn gaps still exist between the graduation rates of students of color, first-generation students and low-income students and those of their peers.
So, one of my first acts as Chancellor back in January was to form an advisory committee to develop recommendations for strategic solutions to completely eliminate these equity gaps, interventions, precisely timed and tailored, so that their benefit reaches those who need it the most – and when they most need it. This effort will require a renewed commitment to transparency and accountability, frank and honest discussions about what’s working and where we are falling short, with earnest collaboration and data-sharing between and among campuses so we can all benefit from those who are succeeding.
In just two weeks I’ll be announcing a systemwide action plan for implementing the advisory committee’s recommendations and for ensuring that every CSU student has the equal opportunity to earn the lifelong and life-transforming benefits of a Cal State degree.
I also want to highlight two new initiatives that I am particularly excited about and which hold great potential to advance both student success and educational equity. We’ve long known that one high-impact way to enhance student success and equity is to help our students bridge the digital divide – and the past 19 months have powerfully driven this point home.
Through our new See Success initiative, every incoming first-year or transfer student at participating campuses has the opportunity to receive – completely free of charge – a new iPad Air, Apple Pencil and Apple Smart Keyboard Folio, which will be theirs to use for the entirety of their CSU undergraduate college experience. Currently rolling out at eight campuses participating in phase one – Channel Islands, Humboldt, Los Angeles, Cal Maritime, Northridge, San Marcos and at Central Valley campuses Bakersfield and Fresno – See Success has the potential to support 35,000 students. Even in its initial phase, it will be one of the largest device-distribution programs of its kind.
We will carefully track the program’s impact on retention and graduation rates and through experiential research with student participants. See Success has already proven to be extremely well-received by our students, and I wholeheartedly believe it will be a game-changer in terms of student success, especially for our most vulnerable students. And I am confident that the results will inspire additional campuses across the CSU to join future phases.
I also want to highlight another program that has the potential to quickly become a national model – our new Global Hispanic Serving Institution Equity Innovation Hub on our Northridge campus. The Hub is the result of a unique public-private partnership, made possible through a 25-million-dollar allocation in the 2021-22 California state budget and a 25-million-dollar gift from Apple. Apple will also support the Hub with advanced technology, design support and thought partnership as the project expands.
The Hub will drive student success and equity on a national scale by transforming the way Hispanic Serving Institutions across the country approach STEM education, in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, equipping Latino and other diverse students with skills and pathways for successful careers in these high-demand fields. And it will inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, too, by hosting middle and high school students and their families.
I want to emphasize that while CSUN – as one of the largest and most successful HSIs in the nation – serves as the Hub’s host campus, all CSU campuses are encouraged to participate in this consequential initiative.
I’ll keep my remarks brief so that we can spend the rest of my time this morning in conversation. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. But first I want to again recognize your vital and important work – work that benefits the entire Central Valley community as it inspires and elevates current and future Latino leaders. Please consider me a resource and know that I am always available to support you in any way that I can. With that, Malia, would you please lead the Q&A?

A dynamic fuzzy logic based adaptive algorithm is proposed for reducing the effect of stick slip friction present in 1-DOF (one degree of freedom) mechanical mass system. The control scheme proposed is an online identification and indirect adaptive control, in which the control input is adjusted adaptively to compensate the effect of nonlinearity. Lyapunov stability analysis is used to ensure the boundedness of tracking errors, identification errors etc. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is verified on a 1-DOF mechanical mass system with stick slip friction.

TMG has obtained start-up capital and initiated development activities toward completing a physician network for access to Medicare managed care revenues. TMG believes that they are currently two years ahead of the industry in knowledge and experience.
3.1 Research and Development
TMG, through three years of research, has developed a proprietary and exclusive listing of all physicians in Texas and their walk-in patient volumes. This research and management tool has allowed us to identify and approach several local physicians. It is because of this knowledge that Mr. Johnson is able to obtain initial seed development capital from the hospital system. His knowledge and expertise in this market, and his relationship with key physicians, has been widely recognized by several hospital systems in Southern Texas over the past few years.
3.2 Market Needs
TMG plans to respond to market needs by expanding into additional counties in the near future. In addition, as TMG operations unfold, the utilization of the Internet as a billing mechanism is foreseen. TMG projects that, as a part of its contract for infrastructure services for its development, it will provide Internet activity to its member physicians for cost reductions and ease of operations.

For the principle time in a month, I had somewhere to be on a Saturday night. It was as soon as a mini-song festival the place emo followers and electronic song aficionados gathered, staring up at a handcrafted residence that loomed over a huge stage. But first, I had to stand in a lengthy queue with a bunch of strangers wearing concert T-shirts that every body read the identical phrase: “I literally went to the American Football residence in Minecraft.”
The everyday emo band American Football headlined a lengthy concert on April Eleventh, showing alongside favorite musicians like Baths and Anamanaguchi — but something was as soon as off. There was as soon as no leaping spherical onstage. There weren’t any dudes standing in the support of the venue nursing tallboys and nodding their heads while American Football performed “Never Intended.” Rest room lines didn’t exist, and coat take a look at wasn’t a trouble. That’s because your entire tournament came about online across Minecraft, which hosted the “bodily” show, and Discord, the place bands and DJs came to focus on with followers.
Doors (on this case, servers) opened at 6PM ET, and like every show, there was as soon as a inflamed droop of folks rushing to salvage in. Attempting to salvage into the venue turned out to be a dull affair. The servers saved bumping gamers off, and that was as soon as preferrred if individuals managed to take part the principle place. Many couldn’t.
These caught originate air were left to commiserate in a Twitch are living circulation the place the show’s organizer, OpenPit, was as soon as streaming from the principle concert hall floor. Little blockheads jumped spherical as musicians like Bean Boy and Power Sixty five performed their sets. It felt like being caught in the coatcheck line, listening to the opening act play their place of residing and feeling the vibrations pulsating the floor under your toes, but not being in a location to indubitably observe the show.
Esteem many of my fresh American Football-stanning chums, I used to be as soon as left to unsolicited mail the “Be half of Server” button in Minecraft while watching OpenPit’s Twitch circulation. It received me smitten by something gentle Amazon Studios strategist and analyst Matthew Ball wrote in a lengthy half about a future “metaverse.” Ball illustrious that “the expertise merely would not yet exist for there to be a entire bunch, not to mention 1000’s and 1000’s of folks participating in a shared, synchronous expertise.” Even a Marshmello concert in Fortnite, which drew eleven million viewers, making it the largest Fortnite tournament on the time, didn’t consecutively reduction eleven million individuals.
“Surely, there were more than One hundred,000 cases of the Marshmello concert, all of which hold been a little bit out of sync and capped at One hundred gamers per instance,” Ball wrote. “Fable can perchance discontinue more than this as of late, but not into several hundred, not to mention 1000’s and 1000’s.”
In the uncommon moments when I could perchance presumably salvage on the server, the scene was as soon as cooler than I expected. It’s exhausting to replicate the minutia of an true-existence concert in Minecraft, but that’s what organizers OpenPit tried to discontinue — the entire formula down to exclusive concert tees, a quintessential pit topic, and restricting stage salvage entry to.
I made my map in opposition to a lounge topic upstairs that was as soon as tiny to VIP concertgoers who had equipped passes, with the proceeds going to charity. I used to be as soon as jealous of the VIP attendees. They received in-game band tees and were allowed to scuttle across the venue without trouble. Anytime I attempted to trip upstairs into the lounge, in the support of the stage, or into mysterious rooms whereby I could perchance presumably observe individuals coming into and exiting throughout the night, it was as soon as like an invisible bouncer stopped me, as if he took one perceive at my typical green shirt — the one who fresh Minecraft gamers build on — and knew I wasn’t allotment of the frigid crowd.
Gentle, I spent an embarrassing quantity of time making an are attempting to leap over the translucent barrier so I could perchance presumably salvage a higher ogle of the concert hall. I couldn’t live smitten by how goofy I must hold gave the impact to other blocks in the room and the 1000’s of folks watching at residence as my Minecraft personality appropriate jumped up and down for minutes on quit.
By 7:30PM, the servers were better but not supreme. OpenPit swore it was as soon as going to repair the ongoing points as individuals demanded refunds in a chaotic and swiftly shifting Twitch chat. The venue lobby inside of Minecraft repopulated repeatedly again while the servers disconnected and reconnected, but I used to be as soon as appropriate divorced from it ample, sitting on my couch with a pitcher of wine, that it wasn’t overly traumatic.
One among the largest disadvantages of digital concerts is additionally their most glaring: you’re not genuinely there. That makes answering the phone, discovering out an electronic mail, or checking TikTok rather more attention-grabbing, especially when the video is uneven, audio is laggy, and intermittent server concerns fabricate it exhausting to salvage too absorbed in the show. By some means, I made up our minds to mute the in-game audio and depend on OpenPit’s Twitch are living circulation, which gave the impact to discontinuance support from a straight away feed and wasn’t as uneven.
When the entire lot was as soon as working, the show went from being something happening on a show cloak to an actual immersive tournament. By 9:30PM, when Six Impala and Baths went on, the room moved to a cohesive vitality. Minecraft gamers would unsolicited mail “Jump! Jump!” when it was as soon as time to mosh, and each person did. The room grew to become a sea of digital avatars leaping spherical, many wearing concert tees celebrating the show, decked out in white-and-shaded checkered vehicles. Fantastic, there weren’t any deafening screams coming from the pit or beer spilling from enraged followers, but it felt like attending an actual concert.
Digital concerts hold been rising in popularity. OpenPit has thrown a replacement of reveals, including performs on favorite festivals like Coachella (Coalchella), frightful events like Fyre Fest (Firefest), and extravagant affairs like the Met Gala (Mine Gala).
Concerts hold been held in other games, too. Fortnite threw a colossal tournament with DJ Marshmello, while smaller artists like Soccer Mommy tried to join with followers in Club Penguin Rewritten. Even Second Existence, one of the most earliest MMO games, has welcomed artists for digital reveals. The more uncomplicated it received for broad swaths of folks to get in one topic, with out a devastating quantity of dash, the easier digital concerts received.
Digital concerts extinct to feel like a gimmick, an tournament for fresh gamers to establish out, and a cause for that you are going to be in a location to bear in mind fresh gamers to be half of. They were a chance for artists to garner some additional attention and secure a brand fresh technique to play a place of residing for followers. When Fortnite hosted Marshmello’s concert in February 2019, it was as soon as the largest in-game tournament on the time, with 10.7 million individuals attending, in line with publisher Fable Games.
Issues are completely different now. Esteem some exclusive Footloose world, gathering in public areas to observe a band play isn’t going to happen. Amid the pandemic, there are two ways for bands to play reveals for followers: are living-circulation a show from their properties on YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram, or host a digital tournament in a game like Minecraft.
I’m not somebody who spends quite hundreds of time in Minecraft or Fortnite, nor am I somebody who spends quite hundreds of time at reveals. On another night, in another version of our lives appropriate now, this isn’t something I would hold attended. I think it’s the identical for some other these who showed up Saturday night to stand in front of a handcrafted version of the residence that seemed on American Football’s 1999 album cloak. Attending the show was as soon as appropriate something to discontinue — a newfound luxurious in a 2nd the place minutes, hours, days, and weeks appear to mix together.
“It’s so particular to be here with my chums,” Anamanaguchi singer Peter Berkman mentioned over Discord, his tell seemingly ringing out throughout the venue. “Handle yourselves, be conscious of quite hundreds of song, play quite hundreds of video games.”
One thing particular came about when American Football went on at eleven:20PM, even though. The venue chilled. Minecraft avatars stopped leaping spherical because the pluck of guitar strings from “Give up Dwelling” started taking half in. People in Minecraft started spamming the chat software program, thanking American Football for his or her song. Some wrote messages about American Football saving their lives; others spoke about heartbreak. It was as soon as like the forum page of an emo pickle was as soon as being projected on the wall while the band performed. And, appropriate like that, the 2nd of readability that comes from being in a sea of folks when your favourite band takes the stage arrived.
American Football performed their place of residing, the little Minecraft avatars for every band member shifting across the stage. A clap observe would play after a pair of of the songs, simulating what it can perchance perchance presumably sound like if we were all in the identical room physically in decision to appropriate pixelated dots. Attending up to now wasn’t without its points. Minecraft concerts aren’t going to change being in a location to indubitably leap, dance, weep, and bawl as your favourite band or musician performs onstage. Even without tech concerns like dash and server overload, there are some bodily experiences that can’t be translated into code.
But what I wished, what quite hundreds of folks gave the impact to desire on Saturday, Minecraft performed: it grew to become a place to get. By the purpose “Never Intended” near on, I used to be as soon as stunned at how emotional the show made me, and based fully mostly on the Twitch chat I checked in on, it was as soon as the identical for more than 10,000 individuals watching. Per chance it was as soon as because we were all experiencing this 2nd together, the principle huge communal tournament I’ve been to since self-quarantining about a month in the past, or even it was as soon as the fact that emo’s authentic poster boys were onstage making an are attempting to ship some consolation into a world that desperately wants it.
Earlier than American Football started taking half in, guitarist and singer Mike Kinsella quipped about the issue we’re all in. I haven’t stopped smitten by it since.
“So here is the future, huh,” he joked. “In fact, I believed there’d be more pixels.”

The Mexican professional wrestling legend and former World Championship Wrestling World Television champion Konnan claims that the former World Wrestling Entertainment champion CM Punk and the current WWE Divas champion AJ Lee are dating!
CM Punk and AJ Lee was spotted together last month at the Wrigley Field during WGN’s broadcast of a Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburg Pirates match. It was spotted many fans and naturally it was aired as a rumor all over the internet. Some fans stated that they were blocked by CM Punk on his twitter account because they mentioned AJ Lee’s name on messages.
Former WCW and TNA superstar Konnan also claimed this rumor to be true. Here is what he said when he was asked on the MLW Radio podcast, “I would also like to say that I found that AJ Lee is dating CM Punk, I don’t know if that is public knowledge.”
According to various reliable media sources, CM Punk was having a relationship with the former three times WWE Women’s champion Amy Dumas “Lita”, when Konnan was asked if CM Punk is done with Lita, his response was ‘Yep”.
AJ Lee was also rumored to be together with the former World Heavyweight champion Dolph Ziggler. If Konnan is right, what about this relationship? Is it over too?
Konnan also revealed that CM Punk hated 13 times World champion John Cena, here is what he said, “To me, it’s like, alright, you waited all this time to become a big star, and all those guys that had a big head, that you hated, like Cena,” said Konnan. “And now you have a big head. You need to bring your s**t down back to ground.”
He added, “I was told by my source in WWE that CM Punk has a big head and he’s conceited.”
As we can all see, people are losing faith in a fixed relationship. We see all the big names are splitting up with their girlfriends, fiancés, and spouses every now and then. We saw John Cena breaking up with her wife last year, Randy Orton split up with her wife after staying together for six years, Sable is getting married thousands of times. Days are changing, the mind setup of the people are also changing. The phrase ‘Love’ is becoming a very strange word for these celebrities.

Actor Vikrant Massey, who completed shooting with Deepika Padukone for Meghna Gulzar's directorial film Chhapaak, is now preparing for his next film and he will also start shooting for the next film 'Ginni Weds Sunny'. Let me tell you that in this romantic comedy film, Vikrant will be seen in the role of Sunny while Yami Gautam will be seen in the role of badass Ginni.
Vikrant has said about this film that, 'as the title suggests, this is a marriage drama in which a boy falls in love with a girl during the marriage, who is not yet ready for marriage because she also has some dreams of her own. Things change when Sunny, with the help of Ginni's mother, tries to win her heart.'
On the film and the story of the film, actor Vikrant has said that he has liked the script of this film very much and its script has been written by Navjot Gulati and Sumit Arora who also wrote the script of 'Stree'. It has also been reported that the shooting of the film will be started in the capital New Delhi from September 16. At the same time, his and actress Deepika's film 'Chhapaak' will be released in January next year.


Outcome 2 - More reception class children/ five year olds receive their education through the medium of Welsh
Where are we now?
In Neath Port Talbot there are 10 Welsh-medium schools, 9 out of 55 primary schools and 1 Welsh-medium middle school providing for ages 3 -18yrs. There are also 7 English-medium secondary schools and 2 English-medium Special Schools.
Although showing a variation over the years, the numbers at reception age show an increase. Both the number and percentage of reception pupils in Welsh-medium schools increased for the third year in a row with the percentage higher than it has been since 2013.
|Year Group||Reception Numbers||Reception Percentages|
|2213||YGG Y Wern||23||14||18||18||15||13||29||19||22||23||13|
|3231||YGG Tyle'r Ynn||21||22||27||27||31||35||27||20||34||30||28||30||26||25||43|
|2139||YGG Y Glyn||1||5||6||3||1|
|5501||YG Ystalyfera - Bro Dur|
|% Welsh medium||20.1%||18.4%||18.3%||19.3%||18.5%||20%||19.3%||17.9%||17.2%||16.7%||17.8%||16.1%||17.2%||18%||18.7%|
At present, the following is being implemented within the Local Authority:
- We currently monitor demand and identify trends for Welsh-medium education and use this information to plan for future provision.
- We ensure that proposals for 21st Century Schools include full consideration of Welsh-medium education.
- Targets are set to increase the capacity of Welsh-medium pre-school provision and to provide information for parents/carers that promotes the benefits of a bilingual education, seeking advice of best practice in other authorities. In terms of Welsh language pre-school provision, a snap shot taken 30th August 2021 from the NPT CIW childcare data shows that 10.5% of the total 2199 available registered childcare spaces were Welsh Medium spaces.
- The current SSIP/WMG/CCO capital developments will create an additional 58 Welsh Medium spaces to be available before 2022. This increases the overall WM percentage to 14.6% by 2021/2022.
- We work closely with Mudiad Meithrin to ensure expansion of pre-school provision across the authority and support the sector to recruit suitably skilled Welsh language care workers.
- Targets are set within the NPT Language Promotion Strategy plan to improve the support for parents/pupils and schools to move along the linguistic continuum through collaboration with Menter Iaith and RhAG.
- The authority has opened a second WM secondary campus in the south-east in September 2018 with a capacity for 650 11-16 pupils. It has stimulated interest and growth in WM primary provision in the areas of Port Talbot, Neath, Llandarcy, Briton Ferry and the Cwmafan area in subsequent years.
- All the Council’s schools are regularly reviewed against specific criteria, and the need for sufficient places at Welsh-medium schools features in the reviewing process, the outcomes of which have included rationalisation of Welsh-medium schools, where appropriate, to maximise the available accommodation and improve teaching and learning opportunities. The need for Welsh-medium schools is addressed by a strategic approach to service planning and delivery.
- The below projects have recently been completed or are nearing completion. In total these projects will increase the number of Foundation Phase places available within primary schools by 150 F/T pupil places.
The projects are:
Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Pontardawe
This project initially involved creating 3 extra classroom and childcare provision at Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Pontardawe. This project was awarded £1.6m grant funding.
Following more detailed discussion with the school the scheme was amended. At the schools request the current childcare provision and nursery/reception classes were relocated within the school to allow for work to take place without interruption, which necessitated remodelling 2 classrooms, providing extra toilet facilities and outdoor play area, converting the staffroom and office to provide childcare facilities and converting a reception area for storage.
The completed scheme will provide remodelled and extended childcare and nursery facilities along with 2 new build FP classrooms, a new entrance way, staffroom, meeting room and office and additional play areas, fencing and pathways, along with medium refurbishment of the hall.
As well as providing increased capacity the scheme also sought to relocate the main entrance and reception to the front of the school creating a new and more visible front of school which can be clearly seen by the road and nearby housing estate. With careful landscaping and signage of the school site it is hoped that the school will appear more attractive to parents who may be considering a WM education in their local area.
Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Cwmllynfell
At Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Cwmllynfell £640k was awarded to provide 1 extra classroom space and a childcare setting, with the aim of increasing the capacity of the school, improve Foundation Phase provision and provide space to develop pre-school Welsh-medium provision.
The scheme aimed to prevent drift to other schools in neighbouring authorities, strengthening the development of Welsh language in the area and impacting positively on the Council’s Band B proposal at YG Ystalyfera Bro Dur (north campus) by increasing the number of children from the area choosing secondary education through the medium of Welsh.
The project has been successfully completed and both the new classroom and childcare provision are ready for use.
Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Tyle'r Ynn
The aim of this project was to create a more attractive and stimulating learning environment with high quality Welsh -medium childcare on site. In the longer term it was anticipated that this would ease accommodation pressures in the area, with demand for Welsh medium pupil places increasing year on year. £1.14m of funding was awarded which enabled the provision of 2 extra classroom spaces and a new Welsh medium childcare provision.
The project has been successfully completed and is a very welcome and timely addition to the school. Pupil numbers have already shown an increase with both nursery and reception classes full in September 2021
In addition, over the past 4 years there has been significant capital funding for major refurbishment projects in eight existing Welsh-medium schools. The investment, which secures the future of these schools, ranges from boundary wall and toilet/changing facility refurbishment schemes to a new build kitchen block, boiler replacement and re-roofing. A new build 4 block extension at YGG Rhosafan and a new 60 place Nursery provision at YGG Castell nedd has also been provided as part of the Reducing Infant Class Size grant.
Where do we aim to be within the first 5 years of this Plan and how we propose to get there?
Our target is to increase the number of Year 1 children receiving WM education by 208 pupils by the end of the 10 year plan (this will mirror the number of children in Reception class as they commence full time education). We will ensure that an increase is also reflected in the transition rates within Outcome 3 and 4.
- We will review the demand for provision for Welsh-medium education on an annual basis, analyse the results of our parental surveys and draft appropriate action plans to address unmet demand in specific areas.
- We will appoint a consultant to promote the benefits of WM education and produce a marketing campaign i.e. website, leaflets, social media, and to liaise with and strengthen communication between different stakeholders etc. Specific emphasis will be given to reducing surplus places in the North of the Local Authority.
- We will work closely with Mudiad Meithrin, Menter Iaith, Tŷ’r Gwrhyd and RhAG to inform parents/ carers of the benefits of Welsh medium education and bilingualism in order to ensure retention of pupils from Nursery to full time education. Specific emphasis will be given to reducing surplus places in the North of the Local Authority.
- Cylchoedd Meithrin will work closely with their local WM schools/ Family Information Service, Flying Start to ensure that a high percentage of children transfer to WM schools. Specific emphasis will be given to reducing surplus places in the North of the Local Authority.
- We will establish a new single form entry starter school in Skewen/ Neath Abbey area with the possibility of expanding/ transferring to a new purpose built Welsh-medium primary school in Coed Darcy subject to member approval and compliance with the extant criteria of the Schools’ Organisation Code. An expression of interest has been submitted to Welsh Government for both revenue and capital grant funding to support this project in its early days. Informal conversations have taken place with the head teachers of both YGG Tyle’r Ynn and YGG Castell-nedd around this proposal, and further more detailed discussions are expected to take place during the latter months of 2021, as it is recognised that it will be essential to gain the support and goodwill of these schools to ensure that the proposed new school is promoted in the local area.
- Subject to member approval we will establish a new Welsh medium school in the east of the county borough. Early work on potential pupil numbers have identified that an increasing number of pupils currently travel from areas including Cwmafan, Taibach and Port Talbot town to YGG Rhosafan, which is continuing to also attract growing numbers of pupil from Sandfields, Aberafan and lower Baglan areas. A new primary in this area would also seek to attract greater numbers of pupils from the lower Afan Valley and Margam areas which currently have low numbers of pupils accessing Welsh-medium provision. It is expected that funding for this new school would be sought from the appropriate Welsh Government capital grant funding stream available at the time.
- To bring forward a proposal to create a third Welsh medium primary school within the 10 year plan. Funding will be sought from the appropriate 21st Century schools programme grant funding streams.
- Subject to funding, we will invest in immersion provision for latecomers to the Welsh language. The immersion provision will enable more learners to access Welsh-medium education at primary. The model will depend on need with the aim of having provision accessible to all areas of the Local Authority by the end of the plan. An expression of interest has been submitted to Welsh Government to support this project with the following aims:
- Long term aim (Post March 2022-Local Authority funded) - The long term aim of the following model will be to establish effective immersion hubs in both the north and the south of the Local Authority (in line with WESP targets). It is intended to establish an immersion centre in YGG Rhosafan (in line with WM Capital Grant application) to satisfy the growing demand for Welsh-medium education in the south of the county. A suitable location for a second hub in the north of the county will be located in YGG Pontardawe. This location would assist in developing the language in a linguistically sensitive area as well as potentially improving confidence and the transition rates to Welsh-medium secondary
Short term aim (December 2021-March 2022 WG grant funded)- The short term aim of the grant funding is to research into existing methodologies and good practice across Wales and to form effective networks that will assist in creating effective provision that will address learners’ needs and support their progression both in the short and long term.
Where do we expect to be at the end of our ten year Plan?
All children in all areas of Neath Port Talbot will have easy access to WM education as they progress from one stage to the next. Additional provisions set out above and an increase in WM settings/ schools will allow this and will lead to the projected increase of 208 pupils.

Remains of 12,000 year old banquet found
Humans were organising mass banquets to foster community spirit 12,000 years ago, scientists learned.
A team excavating a burial cave in Galilee, northern Israel, uncovered the remains of at least 71 tortoises and three wild cattle.
The shells and bones showed evidence of the animals being cooked and butchered for human consumption.
The finds were in two specially crafted hollows linked to burial rituals, said the researchers writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Tortoise shells were placed under, around and on top of the remains of a ritually buried shaman.
Meat from the tortoises alone could probably have fed around 35 people, according to study leader Dr Natalie Munro, from the University of Connecticut, United States.
"This is the first solid evidence that supports the idea that communal feasts were already occurring - perhaps with some frequency - at the beginnings of the transition to agriculture," she said.
"We don't know exactly how many people attended this particular feast, or what the average attendance was at similar events, since we don't know how much meat was actually available in the cave. The best we can do is give a minimum estimate based on the bones that are present."
Feasts served as community builders at a time of rising social tension, said Dr Munro.
Population was growing and people turning from nomadic to more settled ways of living, causing the landscape to become crowded.
"People were coming into contact with each other a lot, and that can create friction," she said. "Before, they could get up and leave when they had problems with the neighbours. Now, these public events served as community-building opportunities, which helped to relieve tensions and solidify social relationships.
"The appearance of these feasts at the beginnings of agriculture is particularly interesting because people are starting to experiment with domestication and cultivation."

Nevada regulators began investigating local cannabis testing lab facilities back in September to find out how high levels of yeast and mold in flower products managed to make it to retailer shelves. The crackdown came after the state found several samples that tested at nearly four times the regulatory limit of less than 10,000 colony-forming units per gram during secondary testing in August. State officials announced at the time that they would also be looking into reports of potency-pushing labs.
Certified Ag Labs was the first testing facility to fall victim to Nevada’s zero-tolerance policy on perceived manipulation of THC potency.
Managing member and spokesperson for the lab, Randy Gardner, spoke with the Las Vegas Review-Journal after the routine inspection from state regulators mentioning that investigators had come by twice within the span of two days to gather samples for retesting.
“They just wanted a couple samples,” Gardner told reporters at the journal. “They’ve been very polite, very nice. It’s not confrontational at all. They’re just doing their job,” he added.
But just before the Thanksgiving holiday, state officials announced that they had found “inaccurate and misleading” THC results from the samples collected at Certified Ag, ultimately suspending the lab’s license and issuing an email advisory along with a notice on the facility door indicating the suspension.
“Products tested by Certified Ag Labs, LLC may be labeled incorrectly and could contain a different level of THC than what is listed on the product package. The Department advises all legal cannabis users to take caution when using product tested by Certified Ag Labs, LLC and when comparing any similar products of the same potency, as those effects may be greater and/or less than that of the product tested by Certified Ag Labs, LLC,” the notice read, according to a report by the Reno Gazette Journal.
Gardner was taken aback by the statement calling the suspension as “baseless as it is appalling,” according to both local publications.
"We take particular issue with the allegation that we made misrepresentations to the Department. This accusation is as baseless as it is appalling, as we have been completely transparent with the State at all times," Gardner said. "We hope the State appreciates that a business and its employees' livelihoods and reputations are at stake. We are pursuing our options and all legal and equitable redress will be on the table.
Certified Ag Labs had been in hot water once before during the roll-out of Nevada adult-use regulations. The lab had been shut down briefly at the tail end of 2017 for “not following proper lab procedures and good laboratory practices,” according to department spokeswoman Stephanie Klapstein in a statement to the Reno Gazette Journal at the time.
Gardner clarified in a follow up conversation with the journal that the previous infraction was due to a misunderstanding of the new regulations and indicated that this time, the lab did nothing wrong stating that he "stands behind the data 100 percent."
Gardner sent out a statement the day after the state’s announcement:
“The state’s decision to suspend and potentially revoke our license came without warning. This accusation is as baseless as it is appalling, as we have been completely transparent with the state at all times. We take this matter very seriously and, based on my over 30 years of laboratory experience, we believe these allegations unconscionable at best.
"The state came in for their audit then came back and suspended our license without having a chance to further clarify or refute their findings. We hope the state appreciates that a business and its employees’ livelihoods and reputations are at stake. We are pursuing our options and all legal and equitable redress will be on the table."
The lab's operations remain in limbo for the foreseeable future but Gardner also understands the importance of close regulation.
"As a whole, Nevada’s done a great job. The state is getting in front of it," Gardner said in his statement to the Reno Gazette Journal, and remarked that Nevada's legal cannabis market is the most regulated of any state. "They regulate everybody."


Only 38 teacher vacancies remain for school district officials to fill before school starts one week from today, a district official reported yesterday.
This is a drop in vacancies compared to 45 around this time last year, and 289 empty positions in 2008, according to district figures reported last year.
A hiring freeze imposed this spring and lifted for most subject areas last Friday helped reserve enough jobs for the large number of teachers in need of new assignments in September, said Estelle Matthews, the district's personnel chief.
"We were excited that we didn't have to lay people off," she said.
"We're confident that we will open school with a vacancy close to zero. Hitting zero is next to impossible because it's a moving target, but I will try my best to get as close to it as I possibly can."
Officials last year revamped the hiring timeline, changing it from August to June, which helped boost numbers.
But the trick for district officials is battling high turnover and low retention rates throughout the school year.
Administrators will also deal with a recent staff upheaval.
Earlier this year, district officials reported that a total of 1,400 teachers forced out of the district's 13 Renaissance schools would require new placement for the fall.
Seven schools will open next week as charters, while the remaining "Promise Academies" will be run by a team handpicked by Superintendent Arlene Ackerman.
The three-year teachers contract allows the district to fill about 90 percent of teacher vacancies through site-based selection instead of seniority.
For weeks, the freeze, ordered in May, prevented many principals from hiring a number of teachers based on full site-based selection.
Matthews added that certifications for teachers and principals in place to start the school year are in order.

I was so excited when I found the fabric on clearance
a couple of months ago;
I figured within an hour or two of arriving home
from Hobby Lobby
I'd have two adorable little outfits all sewn up.
Should I do skirts?
I was already writing a post in my head.
I knew Lana'd be jealous
so I bought enough to make a skirt for her, too.
I considered one for moi,
but I'd feel like a cupcake in so many ruffles
and I'm pretty sure my booty couldn't really carry off the look.
when I laid out the fabric
with all its glorious rufflage
I couldn't quite figure out how to make a skirt that would look decent;
where there were seams, the ruffles would be sewn down - flat.
So you'd have ruffle, ruffle, ruffle. seam.
With a narrower ruffle fabric, I think that'd be okay,
but these ruffles are 4 inches!
I even cut off a few ruffles and made a little doll skirt as a test
and just as I suspected, it looked less-than-adorable.
So my fabric sat.
When I'd think about it, I'd sigh.
Darn it, I'd wasted $7.50!
And then Monday,
I didn't manage to get to it Monday,
but the first chance I got yesterday
I whipped out a skirt for my grown girl.
It's not nearly as elegant as Katy's version
but still it's cute
and quite fun
and most importantly, Lana loves it.

HSWC Aids in Hurricane Florence Relief
In preparation for Hurricane Florence, the Humane Society of Washington County (HSWC) has accepted 6 dogs and 10 cats from the Portsmouth Humane Society in Virginia. The animals arrived in Hagerstown late Tuesday night. The cats are currently available for adoption and the dogs are expected to be available for adoption by Saturday.
“By proactively moving animals to HSWC before disaster strikes, there will be more room in the Portsmouth shelter to care for dogs and cats displaced by the hurricane,” said Kim Jones, Director of Volunteers and Animal Initiatives. “We are thankful HSWC has the ability to offer relief in emergent situations like this.”
HSWC collaborated with The Humane Society of the United States for the transport of these animals.
Available animals, including those from Virginia, are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and up-to-date on worm and flea preventatives prior to being placed up for adoption. The HSWC also provides adopters with a complimentary health visit at a participating veterinarian, as well as an option for 30 days of free health insurance for their new family member. These services are valued at more than $450.

Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana: A Revolution in Wellness
Medical marijuana has taken the healthcare sector by storm, and Pennsylvania is no exception. With the Keystone State embracing this alternative approach to treatment, Pennsylvania medical marijuana is quickly gaining recognition for its role in transforming lives and providing relief to patients battling chronic diseases.
The Emergence of Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana
Pennsylvania's journey with medical marijuana began in April 2016, when Governor Tom Wolf signed the Medical Marijuana Act (Act 16) into law. This groundbreaking legislation has paved the way for a comprehensive medical marijuana program in Pennsylvania, offering hope to patients with serious medical conditions.
Eligible conditions range from cancer, epilepsy, and glaucoma to chronic pain, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and terminal illness, among others. Pennsylvania medical marijuana offers a glimmer of hope, often when traditional treatments have failed to provide adequate relief.
Obtaining a Medical Marijuana Card in Pennsylvania
One of the keys to accessing Pennsylvania medical marijuana is having a valid medical marijuana card. This card serves as an identification tool, providing evidence that a certified physician has determined that you suffer from a qualifying condition and may benefit from medical marijuana use.
The journey to securing a medical marijuana card in Pennsylvania begins with a consultation with a physician approved by the Department of Health. Upon verifying your eligibility, the physician will register you in the state's Medical Marijuana Registry, following which you can apply for your card.
Once the application is approved and the card is obtained, you can legally purchase medical marijuana from licensed dispensaries in Pennsylvania. The availability of various forms of marijuana, from pills, oils, and topical gels to tinctures and dry leaf, provides patients with options to suit their specific needs and preferences.
The Impact of Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana
The introduction of medical marijuana in Pennsylvania has opened up a new world of treatment options for patients. By offering an alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals, Pennsylvania medical marijuana is playing a crucial role in addressing issues related to chronic pain, debilitating symptoms, and quality of life.
Moreover, the process of acquiring a medical marijuana card in Pennsylvania has been streamlined to ensure access for all eligible patients. It reflects the state's commitment to making medical marijuana an integral part of the healthcare landscape.
As Pennsylvania medical marijuana continues to break new ground, it provides a beacon of hope for patients who have long battled debilitating medical conditions. With a valid medical marijuana card, residents of the Keystone State now have access to an alternative, effective form of treatment that can significantly enhance their quality of life.


But a major row broke out at Holyrood’s European and External Relations committee today when opposition parties claimed a key witness had been “cut off” as he criticised SNP plans.
Professor Adam Tomkins, who was a member of the Tories’ recent devolution commission, claimed that Scotland would not be entitled to a “fair share” of the UK’s extensive overseas properties.
“The independence white paper gets it wrong,” he said.
“The United Kingdom’s diplomatic network, its embassies - I think it’s 267 embassies, High Commissions and Consulates in 254 countries around the world - would become the diplomatic mission of the rest of the UK in the event of independence.”
He added: “It’s unfortunate that the independence white paper - the most important document published in the lifetime of the Scottish Government - proceeds on an inaccurate footing as a matter of international law.”
The UK has almost 5,000 properties overseas and the white paper claims Scotland should get £150 million as a share of these assets.
But a row broke out when committee convenor Christina McKelvie stepped in when Prof Tomkins clashed with Nationalist Willie Coffey and ordered that the session move on to a different witness.
Labour’s Alex Rowley claimed the witness was being “cut off.”
“You can’t just cut somebody off because you don’t like the evidence, for goodness sake,” he said.

Nerve block therapies aim to relieve chronic pain by blocking nerve conduction from specific areas of the body. Nerve block approaches range from injections of local anesthetics, botulinum toxin, or steroids into affected soft tissues or joints to more complex nerve root blocks and spinal cord stimulation. When extreme pain is involved, low doses of drugs may be administered by catheter directly into the spinal cord. The success of a nerve block approach depends on the ability of a practitioner to locate and inject precisely the correct nerve. Chronic use of steroid injections may lead to increased functional impairment.
Also referred to as "hypnosis," hypnotherapy is a mind-body technique that involves entering a trance-like state of deep relaxation and concentration.

Premier says sky rail on the Cranbourne-Pakenham line will go ahead
Premier Daniel Andrews has denied a lack of consultation about a proposed sky rail on the Cranbourne-Pakenham line.
The government plans to remove nine level crossings by building a rail bridge which could be 13 metres high in some parts.
While upset residents say they haven’t been consulted, Mr Andrews said he’s debating it now.
But Neil Mitchell questioned the point of a debate if he’s already made up his mind.

An emotional resident pleaded with the Premier to reverse the decision.

‘We are outraged and we’d like to invite you to come to a civilised meeting in our community and, please, listen to what the public is saying.’

Replacements for Fiat Chrysler’s aging LX platform cars are still quite a long ways out, with FCA not planning to introduce the all-new models until at least 2020.
According to Automotive News, FCA won’t switch its LX platform cars (which include the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger and Charger) to the rear-wheel drive based Giorgio platform until the 2021 model year. Sources also said one of the large sedans will die off at that time.
The Giorgio platform was originally developed for use in the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan and will also underpin the upcoming Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV. The architecture is a compact, rear-wheel drive type platform, however it will likely be lengthened for use in the Challenger and Charger or 300.
In a conference call in October, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said he was “encouraged by the versatility of the architecture that was planned at the time in which the Giulia was launched. I think it’s proved out to be all and more than we expected, and I think its utilization across a wide range of applications within the group is probably the most beneficial thing we’ve done from a technical development here in a long time.”
Last month FCA reached a four-year contract with Canadian labor union Unifor that saw the automaker commit to a $242 million USD investment in its Brampton Assembly plant in Ontario. The plant, which currently builds the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challegner and Charger, needed significant upgrades to its paint shop in order to remain up-to-date and build the replacements for the LX platform cars.

Considerably less than a 7 days following Florida lawmakers rushed to make assets-insurance policies alterations, a contractors team Tuesday filed a constitutional problem that targets a new restriction on attorney expenses in lawsuits against insurance plan businesses.
The Restoration Affiliation of Florida and Air High-quality Assessors, LLC, an Orlando company that does operate such as mould tests and leak detection, filed the lawsuit in Leon County circuit court.
It arrived immediately after lawmakers last week passed a evaluate (SB 2-D) to attempt to bolster a troubled house-coverage marketplace that has led to home owners losing coverage and observing spiraling rates. Lawmakers gave last acceptance to the bill on Wednesday, and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it on Thursday.
Insurers have lengthy blamed litigation and attorney charges for driving up charges. The new regulation took a sequence of steps to check out to deal with these troubles, but the constitutional obstacle focuses on section of the evaluate that offers with what is regarded as “assignment of advantages.”
In assignment of rewards, homeowners indicator around their insurance policy statements to contractors, who then request payment from insurance corporations — typically spurring lawsuits about promises and payments.
Contractors in the previous have been ready to get well their legal professional fees from insurers if they are successful in the lawsuits, a concept known as “prevailing occasion expenses.” But the new legislation stripped contractors of remaining capable to recover prevailing-party costs when they are assigned gains.
Householders can continue to get better prevailing-celebration service fees if they file lawsuits right towards insurers, but the contractors simply cannot. The lawsuit alleges that the modify violates equal-defense and owing-procedure rights and denies contractors entry to courts.
“Claims submitted to insurers for function carried out by contractors less than an AOB [assignment of benefit] are commonly not massive in financial quantity,” the lawsuit claimed. “When the insurance provider delays, underpays or does not pay out a declare at all, contractors are pressured to start an action against the insurance provider to get well the whole sum thanks for the get the job done carried out. With no the corresponding correct to get better prevailing social gathering fees, SB 2-D makes it economically unfeasible for the contractor to go after its lawful rights and remedies in courtroom. Invoices for do the job performed by contractors underneath AOBs are generally not significant adequate for a law firm to concur to characterize the contractor on a contingency cost foundation and it is not economically reasonable for the contractor to … shell out a attorney on an hourly basis to recover the amount of money owed.”
The lawsuit reported invoices for perform completed by Air Excellent Assessors and many other users of the affiliation normally complete $2,500 to $3,000.
“The incapacity to get better prevailing get together attorneys’ service fees will successfully shut the courthouse door to plaintiffs because it will be expense-prohibitive to spend an attorney for these types of modest statements,” the lawsuit said.
William Huge, president of the Florida Justice Reform Institute, a organization-backed team that lobbies to minimize litigation, said in a assertion right after the law passed that “property insurance plan lawsuits have exploded about the final a number of a long time, overpowering Florida’s insurance policies market place.”
“Senate Bill 2-D includes significant litigation reforms and gets to the heart of escalating costs and constrained protection — lawsuit abuse,” Big stated.
Assignment of benefits has long been a contentious concern in the insurance policies business. The Legislature in 2019 place more restrictions on assignment of advantages, at minimum in element for the reason that of an improve in household drinking water-injury claims.
But contractors contend that assignment of advantages allows home owners who are unfamiliar with building absolutely sure insurance policy claims are managed adequately.
“AOBs are not new and have been made use of for a very long time, in particular for the duration of crisis temperature scenarios,” the lawsuit reported. “In Florida, AOBs are widespread in the household property context when house owners go through destruction to their dwelling and want to seek the services of contractors to fix the issues.”
The lawsuit, which incorporates seeking a preliminary injunction in opposition to the regulation, names as defendants Melanie Griffin, secretary of the state Office of Enterprise and Skilled Regulation, and Donald Shaw, executive director of the Design Sector Licensing Board. The circumstance has been assigned to Leon County Circuit Judge Layne Smith, according to an online docket.

Synopsis: Layla Harrison wants to leave her beach-bum days for digs behind a reporter’s desk. Aster Amirpour wants to scream at the next casting director who tells her “we need ethnic but not your kind of ethnic.” Tommy Phillips dreams of buying a twelve-string guitar and using it to shred his way back into his famous absentee dad’s life.
But Madison Brooks took destiny and made it her bitch a long time ago.
She’s Hollywood’s hottest starlet, and the things she did to become the name on everyone’s lips are merely a stain on the pavement, ground beneath her Louboutin heel.
That is, until Layla, Aster, and Tommy find themselves with a VIP invite to the glamorous and gritty world of Los Angeles’s nightlife and lured into a high-stakes competition where Madison Brooks is the target. Just as their hopes begin to gleam like stars through the California smog, Madison Brooks goes missing. . . . And all of their hopes are blacked out in the haze of their lies.
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Thriller, Mystery
Review: Novels about Los Angeles have always appealed to me, especially those which focus on the illistrious, yet seedy underbelly of the city. Add in a sketchy competition, and it’s was right up my alley. This book felt a lot like something I would’ve read and adored in middle school, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I still enjoyed it now. It was fast paced and thrilling, and despite being long and not getting to the nitty gritty parts of the book until the very end, it never dragged. It was a solid novel and a good kickoff to what I’m sure is going to be a series growing in complexity.
However, I anticipated and wanted something far more atmospheric. This might be the one book that I actually craved exposition in, as I think it would’ve helped craft the tone and allow for less explicit description of each moment. There was depth, but it was only just enough for the three main players to not be considered surface characters. And while I normally do not comment on grammar in books, unless it is unique and purposeful or truly horrendous, I must say there was significant comma misuse that interrupted the flow of the novel and was sometimes confusing. I’ve never read an Alyson Noel novel before, so maybe that’s just her style, but either way I was turned off by it.
I look forward to continuing this series, but it has not skyrocketed to the top of my list as I wish it had. It was a solid, interesting read, and I know that the series is only going to get better, especially with that cliffhanger. It was not, however, a standout. Unrivaled certainly left me yearning for more, but I’m just not sure when I’ll want it.
