“The Unholy Ghost” has been described as a journey of ideas and storytelling that combines the religious intrigue of Dan Brown with the magical worlds created by Margaret Atwood. Christine Abrahams takes the reader on a non stop, thrill ride adventure that also leads one to evaluate their own spiritual beliefs. In this spiritual thriller, you enter the world of horror encountered by two people who are destined to love and also fated to bear the next savior, while battling a mysterious force unleashed by the Roman Catholic Church aimed to save humanity. Sarah, a therapist with a spiritual nature and an affinity for the occult will bear a son who is destined to move humankind to its next evolutionary stage, or so says a prophecy. A prophecy that she only begins to learn about once she meets and falls in love with John, a Maori/Mexican retired New Zealand police officer with a powerful spiritual lineage. But the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope are bent on making sure that this prophecy never comes true and that the child is never born. Thus begins a dazzling and entertaining story that takes you on a whirlwind tour across the globe. “The Unholy Ghost” is a book that will challenge your beliefs and take you on a journey to the heart and soul of masterful storytelling. It takes you on a inspirational ride between Christianity and Maori spirituality that will send chills up your spine while lifting your spirits with the wonders of the human experience. Christine Abrahams provides a metaphysical love story that is like no book you’ve ever read before.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition is urging Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb to ensure a waitlist and additional resources are made available before closing the state’s COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program Wednesday. More than 200,000 additional Hoosiers are expected to need pandemic-related rental assistance than will be provided through resources that are currently available through state and local government programs. The Coalition also calls on Indiana’s state and federal policymakers to come together to take critical steps to provide protections for renters to prevent the flood of evictions – that started with the end of the state’s moratorium August 14 – from deluging the state.
The Coalition issued an action alert stating concern that closing the rental assistance portal without a waiting list would leave renters in the dark with no way to document their request for assistance if an eviction case is filed against them. It also leaves the state no queue of assistance requests in the case that the program receives additional funds.
“The problem of evictions and housing instability isn’t going to disappear with the premature closure of the state’s rental assistance portal – quite the opposite will occur,” said Jessica Love, Executive Director of Prosperity Indiana. “A waiting list is the least the State of Indiana can do to demonstrate that it hasn’t turned its back on hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers who will continue to need emergency rental assistance as the impacts of the COVID-19 economic downturn continue to ramp up. A waiting list application confirmation could at least show due diligence for the renter attempting to work with their landlord but with limited resources to pay.”
As an example, the Coalition points to the waiting list used by the City of Indianapolis at IndyRent.org (the city’s rental assistance program portal), which will allow the city to contact tenants in the order they appear and invite them to apply once new funds become available. The state could use a similar waiting list to reactivate the state portal as funds are made available from over $1B currently available in CARES Act resources, or from any future coronavirus related funds passed by Congress.
“Working with the City of Indianapolis, I’m optimistic that they have found ways to work with partners on the ground to help make sure the Black and brown residents most impacted by COVID-19 receive rental assistance,” said Derris Ross, CEO/Founder of The Ross Foundation and the Indianapolis Tenants Rights Union. “Indiana needs a more tactical and intentional statewide plan to ensure an equitable housing recovery that reaches all Hoosiers no matter the color of their skin or their ZIP code.”
The Coalition sees the move to close the state’s rental assistance program without a waiting list as inconsistent with the facts on the ground of more than 30,000 applications to the program during its six-week run, compared to the approximately 25,000 households the program will serve (at $2,000 per household) through the $40 million in Coronavirus Relief Funds appropriated by the state. In sharper contrast, estimates indicate that up to 313,000 Hoosier households are at risk of eviction before the end of the year, part of multiple waves of evictions anticipated to last into 2021.
The Coalition reiterates its call for a coordinated statewide Housing Stability policy response to COVID-19, including a Governor-appointed Task Force representing the needs of landlords, tenants, and experts in housing and public health, as well as a Housing Security Dashboard on the state’s coronavirus web site to track eviction data and rent assistance outcomes. The Coalition has also called for a state Court Order to uniformly implement recommendations from the Supreme Court’s Landlord-Tenant taskforce. The Coalition also continues to call on Indiana’s Senators to follow the lead of the House in passing $100B in emergency rental assistance that would meet the estimated need in Indiana and nationwide.
“While the Senate hasn’t yet come through with the resources Indiana needs to serve all COVID-19 impacted renter households, that’s no excuse for the state to shut down its rental assistance program,” said Jessica Fraser, Director of the Indiana Institute for Working Families. “We’ve noticed that Indiana’s Senators have yet to stand up as champions for Hoosiers’ housing stability in negotiations for the next coronavirus package, and we see the impact that’s having here at home. Hopefully the state won’t give up on Hoosier renters before the Senate finishes the job in front of them.”
The Coalition asks Hoosiers to contact their policymakers by responding to the “Don't End Indiana's Emergency Rental Assistance Program!” Action Alert located at Prosperity Indiana’s online Advocacy Action Center. Organizations and individuals who wish to join the Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition and receive updates should also email email@example.com.
About the Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition:
Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition (HHNC) was formed by members of Indiana’s housing security advocacy community in April 2020 to support advocacy and education related to housing and homelessness prevention in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staffed by Prosperity Indiana through advocacy and coalition building grants from the National Low Income Housing Coalition and the Central Indiana Community Foundation, HHNC convenes partners from across Indiana to advocate for immediate, medium- and long-term housing stability policy solutions and conduct education and research to achieve federal, state, and local policies for an equitable response and recovery to the pandemic and beyond.
The HHNC Steering Committee is comprised of members from AARP Indiana, the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention & Prevention (CHIP), Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana, Family Promise of Greater Indianapolis, Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Indiana Institute for Working Families – INCAA, Prosperity Indiana, and The Ross Foundation.

Teens are at tremendous risk when they obtain their driver’s licenses. According to the National Safety Council, it’s the most dangerous period of a person’s entire lifetime. And as distractions increase—notably smartphones and the temptation to text while driving—the risk has grown exponentially greater.
In response to these dangers, Toyota’s TeenDrive365 program offered online tools, expert advice, local events and social media elements to inspire parents and teens to be safe drivers together. It’s the winner in the “Public Health/Safety Initiative” category of PR Daily’s 2016 Corporate Social Responsibility Awards.
A key component of TeenDrive365 was its Video Challenge, designed to inspire teens to create videos that raise awareness among their peers of the dangers of distracted driving. Aimed at students in grades 9-12, the program drew more than 1,500 entries in 2016. They were viewed and voted on by tens of thousands of people, the result of a grassroots social media and marketing campaign carried out by participants, their families, friends and schools.
Coverage of the challenge resulted in 16 million impressions. The students behind the 10 best public service announcements were encouraged to mount their own PR campaigns to build support, and press releases were distributed to finalists’ local media outlets.
The finalists’ stories were covered in a number of local newspapers, online news sites and radio and TV stations. The winners were given even more publicity, leading to more views of their outstanding work.
For a well-planned and effective campaign and results, congratulations to the team of Elizabeth Hillman, Shawnee Cohn, Helena Poda, Lauren DeNu and Karen Polan.

Chunky Beef Hotpot Recipe
Chunky Beef Hotpot is the ultimate in comfort food, easy to make and so flavoursome.
I knew my first meal after Veganuary would have to contain beef. I enjoyed living the vegan lifestyle for a month, and although I’ve made a vow to cut down on my meat intake, I’m not going to lie, I’ve been craving something meaty. A hotpot was the first thing that came to mind as it’s easy to prepare and perfect for this time of year. Tender pieces of meat with vegetables makes this chunky beef hotpot full of flavour, filling and adaptable ( add more veg if you want like sliced mushrooms/parsnips).Comfort food at its very best! I served mine with a side salad and crisps. Also tasty with Yorkshire puddings or dumplings.
There is enough to serve 4 people or 2 very hungry people. Enjoy.
- 450g stewing beef, cubed.
- 50g plain flour
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions, sliced
- 350g carrots, peeled and sliced
- 150g, parsnip, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 tsp of dried thyme
- 600ml beef stock
- 675g potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 25g butter, melted
- Toss the beef in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.Heat the oil and fry the meat until well browned. Remove and place in a casserole dish.
- Reduce the heat and fry the onions and carrots for 5 minutes. Then add it to the casserole.
- Sprinkle the thyme over the meat and vegetables then pour in the stock.
- Overlap the sliced potatoes in a neat layer on top.
- Brush with melted butter and bake uncovered at 190c/170c fan for an hour or until the potatoes are golden brown. If you like the potatoes to be really crisp, leave it for a bit longer (just keep an eye on it).
- Serve with a salad, Yorkshire puddings or dumplings.

While the PE does look high, earnings is low as corporate India’s ROE is yet to revert to its long-term average
As much as fund managers would shy away from accepting the fact, many of them are today grappling with high cash reserves. The two reasons when fund managers hoard cash are – when they do not see opportunities or when they sense a higher than usual redemption. The lack of opportunity is triggered by high valuations today. There is no doubt that market valuations have gone up considerably in the recent months. The price to earnings ratio (PE) is the indicator of valuation, which is the ratio of the market price of a stock or index to its earning per share.
The current PE of Sensex is 22-23, which indicates that the market is overvalued, as the PE of a fairly valued market is around 17-19. Some experts are of the view that to blindly bracket the markets being over valued based on the PE alone is an incorrect assessment. There is merit in this argument because, going by the past, when the markets were at higher PEs, the economic indicators were different; especially the twin deficits, inflation and crude prices.
This time around it is different, including the constituents of the Sensex. So, one should not overly be focused on the PE levels to gauge the valuation of the markets. Moreover, market returns are a function of macros, future earnings growth and interest rates and flows—all of these, barring recovery in earnings, are favourable at the moment. While the PE does look high, at the moment, earnings is low as corporate India’s ROE (return on equity) is yet to revert to its long-term average. But this is expected to change over the next few quarters.
“We do believe that at the index level valuations look rich, but we continue to find attractive opportunities from a bottom-up perspective. Certain pockets across market caps are rich and investors should be wary of low quality stocks which have also run up,” emphasises, S Krishna Kumar, CIO-Equity, & Executive Vice President, Sundaram Asset Management. Similar views are aired by several other money managers, who are either going easy with their investments or in some cases changing their investment strategy to cope with the present times.
“Since the markets have run up and money is coming in, the managers are exercising prudence in deploying cash. Whenever there are opportunities in need for growth; capital or corrections in stocks, the cash will be deployed,” explains Patil. But the reason for holding on to cash, many acknowledge privately, is to do with high valuations which is making several fund managers a wee bit uncomfortable about investing at the moment.
“The market is no longer cheap, as can be gauged from various matrices. On a price-to earnings basis, the market is expensive while on a price-to-book and market cap to GDP basis, it is courting slightly above its long term averages,” stresses Naren. The other aspect that cannot be ruled out is volatility, which could impact the momentum and also change investor behaviour. The monsoon is not over yet to ascertain clearly how well it has been. Likewise, the net margins of a bulk of the CNX 500 companies have been weak, even when they have delivered healthy operating and net profit margins.
“One of the reasons of high valuations is that the corporate profitability is up high also the markets are expecting recovery in profit earnings over the next year. Moreover, while comparing the valuations at historical levels, one needs to keep in mind the falling interest rates sustainability,” explains Navneet Munot, ED & CIO, SBI Mutual Fund.
The bright side
“Domestically, consumption – a key growth driver – has been recovering post the disruption during demonetisation. Strong public infrastructure spending at central and state level and government’s focus on capital spending should enhance productivity going forward,” says Anand Radhakrishnan, CIO – Franklin Equity, Franklin Templeton Investments – India. Moreover, once banks resolve the NPA mess, things will further look better for the economy and the markets.
Singhania is positive on the domestic recovery themes which can benefit significantly from lower interest rates, higher disposable income and policy reforms. “Under rural and urban consumption themes we like auto, hospitality and organised retail,” he says. He is also positive on high quality engineering companies, niche NBFCs, insurance and agro chemical sectors as these are expected to benefit from policy reforms. The housing sector has so far been muted, despite the ‘Housing for All’ drive before 2022. It will change once the RERA (Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act) comes in force and developers get their act in place.
“In the entire consumption story today, a large part comes from rural India, and good monsoon can help boost farm income, which will in turn give impetus to the consumption story,” believes Ravi Gopalakrishnan, Head Equities – Canara Robeco AMC. He is equally gung-ho on the consumer discretionary sector—predominantly auto and auto ancillaries because he believes that the demand is expected to kick-in with above average monsoon. “We believe that the momentum in this sector that has been built-up in the last several years will continue as the wealth effect starts to emerge from the rural economy,” he adds.
“The successful implementation of the GST and earnings upgrades will be triggers in the near term to look,” feels, Tushar Pradhan, CIO, HSBC Mutual Fund. He feels the value-oriented approach to identify opportunities in stocks that trade at relatively lower valuations vis-à-vis others offering similar profitability should be looked into as investments.
Investors are also catching up to the detailed investment outlook shared by fund managers from time-to-time. “My current approach is to hold on to the equities in the portfolio and keep an eye out on equities that have corrected but hold great fundamentals, trade at an attractive P/E or valued below its Book Value,” rattles off 33-year-old, Bengaluru-based Gautam Samtani. He invests in both mutual funds and stocks and makes it a point to read up on factors that influence the stock markets.

Park somewhere near Paulina lake(where there are some small hot springs) and look for a trailhead which begins on single and then switches to a fireroad. I believe it is called the Paulina rim trail. After a lung-searing climb(about 3 miles) on the fireroad, bear right onto a softly sandy singletrack with the Paulina crater looming directly in front of you. Follow this singletrace for some time, allowing your lungs to recover and you will come upon another fork in the trail, either allowing you to climb up near the rim of the crater or continue below it, tracing along the Nortwest side of it. It is one of the strangest landscapes I have ever rolled through. Lunar-like, with pumice rocks and sandy-ashy soil, with a long crossing where the trail somewhat disappears.My tires sank it, but I spun the little ring and kind of half-floated, half-sank. It took a lot of energy.
You must bring mucho water and sunglasses/sunscreen. It seems a lunar desert ecosystem up there and serenely quiet, just a little warm wind.. You will pick up the single track again as you enter some scrubby little trees, and be prepared for some serious down hill switchbacks with lava boulders lining the trail and many ponderosas shading certain sections of the trail. I had a nice blowout here and ate lunch here, taking in the view of the twin lakes, Paulina and East, but I couldn't sit for too long, because the mosquitoes were a force up there.. A long descent, twisty and fun, using all the fork's travel with some whoops through the forest and back to a well-signs gravel road into Paulina Lake.
Find yourself in Bend, Oregon. Drive south-east on Highway 97 until you see signs for the paulina lake turn-off on your left and head up a slow, rv-filled asphalt twisty 20 mile uphill. Park near Paulina lake and find the trailhead. Pay 3.00 fee if you don't like tickets.
Summary: First time riding the Newberry Crater Rim Trail (not called Paulina Rim Trail) over July 4th weekend. I had heard it was a grunt, and it did take some effort, but well worth it overall. Great views, great downhill (at the end) and I didn't see another biker or person the entire day.
Parked at the day use are next to the first boat ramp across from the new visitors center, then pedaled up Road 500 3 miles. That part sucked, I have to say - steady granny pedal incline for 3 miles, with limited shade, lots of washboard, and dust from passing cars. Go as early in the morning as you can to avoid traffic and sun. The trail (57) crosses the road, but I almost missed it. You follow 57 the whole way around.
The best part of the trail comes next with fast rolling singletrack overlooking the two lakes (Paulina and East) with Mt. Jefferson in the distance and the huge obsidian flow below. Stop and take photos during the first 3 miles - the views are the best here.
After some downhill, you head north on a logging road tree tunnel. Nothing to say here, glad I had my nano.
Took a break on Cinder Hill with great views West. At 15 miles I hit the blowdown. Off my bike every 2 minutes, probably 25 times. Finally the blowdown was cleared for the fastest part - the descent to Paulina Lake. Super fun and they are right about the water bars...
By myself and with blowdown it took 3.25 hours. The beach at the far East end of East Lake was nice to cool and wash off. Couldn't find any hot springs, but it was too hot anyway.
I asked the ranger at the visitor's center about when the usually clear the blowdown and he said this is the first summer that the Forest Service is actually working at Newberry Crater. Weird. I told him where all the down trees were and he told me a volunteer conservation crew was looking for work and he would send them there.
So the key is waiting until the snow melts out, but before it gets to dusty/sandy. This weekend was just about perfect.
Recommended Route: Counterclockwise is the only way to go. Straightforward and fun. Next time, I have to figure out how to get a ride to the top of Paulina Peak and avoid the dirt road up.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Hiking the Paulina Lake Loop trail with your dog. 7.5 miles around. Lots of beaches.
Summary: I rode the Paulina Rim Trail this weekend and am still smiling about it. The pedal up the gravel road is a real grunt - definitely good to hit it while in the morning shade if it is a hot summer day ahead. The first 5 miles after leaving the gravel road are outstanding single track with other-worldly views. The only disappointment of the ride is that the track becomes a somewhat barren and smooth fireroad with a wide swath of trees cleared on both sides of the trail(??) after crossing road 2127, keeping you in the blazing sun until you hit the scenic lake overlook. After that, the riding is fantastic again, taking you back into the trees. Remember the grunt gravel incine? You get it all back with a fantastic white-knuckle descent over the last 3 miles. Beware the water bars! I would do this ride again any time I can get to the east side. Note: it would be a grave mistake to try this ride in a clockwise fashion with vast stretches of loose inclines. Going up the gravel road first, there is no hike-a-bike for the fit set.
Recommended Route: Paulina rim trail - counter clockwise
Other recommended trails in the same area: Deschutes River Trail
Black Rock Trail (at Benham Falls)
Waldo Lake Loop
Summary: Riding this trail counter clockwise makes sense since the pumice field is a bear to climb and just as challenging to descend but more fun to descend. Fast flowing single track rewards the riders on the north side of East Lake and the further one rides the more fun the trail opens up. There are some tough climbs but over all the trail is a blast. I rode this trail on a bike way too small for my 6ft 7" frame and it was heavy around 36lbs. This year I have an XL 2008 Yeti 575 with an RP23 and it weighs around 30.5lbs................huge difference. I have had a lot of fun on this bike so far and look forward to the epic rides and climbs this year of 2008.
Recommended Route: From right to left or from the south to north going counter clock wise.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Dechutes River Trail between Sunriver and Bend.
Review Date December 15, 2001
Overall Rating 5 of 5
Ridden Trail: Ridden Once
Reviewed by: Kevin Lyons
, from Redmond, OR
Summary: A nice gradual climb for about three miles up the forest service road. Nice elevation gain and on a clear day, awesome views. The TH is on the right and is well signed. Excellent rolling single track and not very technical. For a rider with experience on single track, this trail will challenge you only because of the distance. If you are advanced, the challenge comes from pacing yourself for a fast ride. The North side of Paulina Lake as you drop back down to earth will challenge downhillers with serious waterbars made of wood and very slick...yeeeehhhaaawwwwwwww...Over all, a nice rolling trail with outstanding views. Take water, food, and a camera. You will not want to miss this ride if able to take it. You peak at about 7000 feet so expect great views and snow if late spring and fall seasons. If you want, go to http://photos.yahoo.com/kwltrack for some pics of Newberry Crater and other pics of some nice rides in the area. Contact me if you like for additional info. Ride hard or ride home....Kevin
Recommended Route: I parked in the Day Use area at Paulina Lake. Across from the information board. From here, rode toward East Lake, Took the forest service road signed for Paulina Peak. Ride three miles to the trail head on the right. From here a total counter clockwise ride back to the day use area.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Waldo Lake
Review Date July 4, 2000
Overall Rating 5 of 5
Ridden Trail: Once a year
Reviewed by: Julian
, from Portland
Summary: From lung bursting uphills to fast and flowing descents, this trail has it all. I reccomend riding it counter clockwise so to hit the China Hat singletrack section going downhill; it's a bi*ch to climb. There are a lot of whoop-dees and fast sections, a good ride for the epic-crew. The ground is soft and there are sections of bermed pumice that allow you to dive into corners without hesitation. There's a reason my family goes back every summer; it might just be the best epic ride in Oregon.
Recommended Route: start whereever. It is a loop so you can put in or out anywhere you want to park. Reccomended spots include Hot Springs campground or the East Lake Marina.
Other recommended trails in the same area: ask the locals in Bend.

Wacker Drive Reconstruction Construction Services
TranSystems was selected by the Chicago Department of Transportation to perform Program Manager Services for the reconstruction of the north-south section of the multi-level Wacker Drive and the Congress Parkway Interchange. The Program Manager assignment involves the oversight and administration of four distinct construction contracts valued at $303M, as well as coordinating private utility relocation agreements and various City force account work orders. This roadway and bridge project is one of the most complicated ever completed by the City since it involves complex staging to keep 60,000 vehicles and a staggering 150,000 pedestrians moving through the construction zone. Since Wacker Drive also abuts major offices and skyscrapers including the Willis Tower, daily access for workers and deliveries must be accommodated. Wacker Drive’s proximity to the Chicago River and the two primary downtown commuter stations creates additional challenges. The project was awarded ACEC’s 2014 Grand Conceptor Award.

COPS are planning to seize £12m from one of Wales' leading criminals.
John Damon Gizzi - Rhyl's self-proclaimed Mr Big - was jailed in January after admitting brutally beating two homeless men with wooden staves.
North Wales Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom now plans to seize the fortune of the violent fraudster, from St Asaph, Denbighshire - estimated at between £10m and £12m - in a move he says will "make a big difference to the crime scene" in the region.
John Gizzi was a major criminal player in Rhyl.
The 34-year-old had lived the life of a playboy millionaire, believing he was untouchable. Even when behind bars on remand, the hard-man sent a message to local police boasting: "I may be locked up but I still run Rhyl."
He was living at Bronwylfa Hall when he was arrested in April last year, a £1.5m mansion in St Asaph. He drove a £100,000 Bentley Continental limousine, complete with registration plate 1JDG, along with three other cars, including a deluxe four-litre Range Rover, all of which also bore his initials.
Along with the assaults he also admitted conspiracy to sell black market cigarettes, tax dodging worth up £750,000 and 22 offences of fraud totalling £1.4m. He was called a "thug" and a "bully" by police.
A hearing will take place in December to decide whether his fortune will be seized and Mr Brunstrom said: "We're hoping to relieve him of all of it."
Asked last week at the annual meeting of the North Wales Police Authority how Gizzi had been allowed to operate unchecked for so long, Mr Brunstrom agreed it was too long, and said it was "high time he got his comeuppance".
He admitted: "I have to concede that we might have paid more attention to Mr Gizzi earlier than we did". But he insisted the quality of the lengthy probe was reflected in the fact that Gizzi had been forced to admit all the charges.
Before he was sentenced in January, Chester Crown Court heard details of Gizzi's assault on a homeless man, at a boarded-up cafe in Rhyl.
Prosecutor Simon Medland said Leslie Owen was sleeping in the cafe - owned by Gizzi - when he was woken by the criminal.
Gizzi beat Owen around the head and body with a table leg before dragging him down two flights of stairs.
Dennis Fontenot, described by police as Gizzi's lieutenant, admitted one offence of causing grievous bodily harm and one of conspiracy to supply counterfeit cigarettes. He was jailed for 18 months.

The pair were interviewing American country singer Carrie Underwood about her latest album, when Ben remarked at the end of the interview that hearing Carrie’s music that morning had been a welcome change from the ‘Frozen’ soundtrack.
Feeling his pain, she then asked him: “Oh, are you one of those households?”
The pair speak to Carrie Underwood
However, things took a bit of an awkward turn, when Susanna took this to mean her and Ben, to which she quickly responded: “We’re not married, by the way!”
As the former ‘American Idol’ contestant began to explain that that wasn’t quite what she meant with her question, Ben then interjected, adding: “At times it feels like it… but we’ve both got boys. And none of our boys like ‘Frozen’, it’s just [Susanna] that likes ‘Frozen’.”
Nice save, guys...
Ben and Susanna try and cover the awkward situation
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ team recently landed itself a new recruit, following the announcement that Piers Morgan would be co-hosting with Susanna as a permanent member of the presenting line-up.
So, just think, Susanna. There are a lot of worse things than being mistaken for being married to Ben Shephard.
Piers recently defended Susanna Reid from critics who claim that she “flirts” with the male guests that she interviews, insisting: “They should back off being so overtly sexist about it, because it's unfair, and it's annoying to her because she's a very highly-trained, professional journalist.”

The FDA is warning about dangerous counterfeit hand sanitizers. And there is a way you can tell if you have one of the bottles that is wrongly labeled.
When it comes to keeping our hands clean on the go during this pandemic, we’ve been told hand sanitizer with 70 percent alcohol does the job. But now there is a new warning. The FDA says buyer beware.
"Methanol is one that is highly toxic and it can lead to a very tragic outcome and permanent blindness," said Dr. Jim Diaz, Professor of Public Health and Head of Environmental and Occupational Health at LSU Health Sciences Center.
Dr. Diaz says there are many kinds of alcohol. The two that are acceptable in hand sanitizers are ethanol alcohol, that’s the one found in liquor, or isopropyl alcohol, which is rubbing alcohol.
But the FDA is warning there are dozens of sanitizers coming from Mexico that have methanol, which is wood alcohol or sterno.
"It actually burns and it was used to put under chafing dishes. It’s also used as an industrial solvent and a pesticide. It is an alcohol, however it is highly poisonous."
And he says they are labeled as having one of the acceptable alcohols in them. The FDA caught this when testing them.
"If a child were to drink it, well initially they would have nausea, vomiting and then they would get inebriated or intoxicated and then they may have a seizure and coma. If they are lucky enough to survive the acute poisoning, they may be permanently blind," he said.
It can be absorbed through the skin, But Dr. Diaz says that would take a lot of exposure to make you sick. To protect yourself from these wrongly labeled products, Dr. Diaz says check for the manufacturer and don’t buy them.
"If it’s Esk Biochem or another company called Blumen, I would avoid any products made by those companies."
And he further warns that young children like the sweet taste of aloe vera in any kind of hand sanitizer and very serious injuries have happened when they accidentally drink them.
Dr. Diaz says there have been several children in the U.S. who have almost died from alcohol poisoning from accidentally drinking hand sanitizer.

Greenland has only one National Park, but even that one is more than enough. Located in the north-eastern corner of the country, it’s the largest National Park in the world. No people live in the area except for the personnel at a couple of meteorological stations and the sealers and whalers from Ittoqqortoormiit, a town in North-Eastern Greenland.
The park measures 375,000 square miles, about the same size as France and Spain combined, and is so big that it could comfortably fit 100 Yellowstones inside its borders.
In case you are still not able to imagine how large it is, there are only 30 nations on Earth larger than this single park. Its wildlife is one of the most exciting in the northern hemisphere.
Northeast Greenland National Park is home to the walrus, polar bear, reindeer, mountain hare, arctic fox, and around 40 percent of the world’s population of musk oxen. Whales, including humpback, minke, fin, and approximately 60 species of bird breed here.
The National Park is officially described as “arctic paradise,” and it doesn’t just offer exciting wildlife, but also an incredible array flora that every year draws numerous international scientific surveys and expeditions to the region.
It became National Park in 1974, when the Greenlandic Council and Danish environmental ministry decided to govern the uninhabited part of northern Greenland.
Because of its abundant wildlife, most travel to the park is connected with international scientific surveys and expeditions to the region.
If you want to travel and stay in the National Park, you must have a permit from the Ministry of Nature and Environment. But there are usually organised tourist trips, such as cruises, and the organisers will secure the necessary permits. Only about 500 people visit the National Park every year.
A visit to the Park would be a great adventure for the true nature lovers.

The Pied Piper comes into the family!
Purchased in December of 2001, with title transferred in January of 2002, the Pied Piper enjoyed many hours during the first several months of 2002 getting acquainted with her new owner. A working bilge pump was installed (more were added later), fire extinguishers updated, the boat was thoroughly cleaned, furniture and carpeting and bedding and kitchen-ware purchased and brought on board, tools brought on board, engine oil changes and tune-ups performed, all systems thoroughly checked, original copies of the original engine maintenance and specification manuals obtained, and the Matthews Boat Owners Association contacted in order to obtain documents relating to Matthews boats in general and original documents relating to this specific boat in particular. Many day trips and a few over-night trips were taken on the boat close to the home marina as shake-down cruises, with subsequent repairs and upgrades performed. It was a busy and exciting time. And yet eventually, as the sun warmed the beautiful Pacific Northwest waters, it was time to head outside the Seattle lakes, into the Pacific Northwest salt water of Puget Sound, and take this classic yacht on a real cruise. With a long-time boater friend aboard and with other club boats alongside, the Pied Piper and her new owner cruised the rich wooded islands and islets of protected and warm south Puget Sound for 10 wonderful days. After all that work and after a relaxing, fun, and problem-free cruise, this owner and her "new" boat knew they were a perfect match.

Owlwood, once the home of movie mogul Joe Schenck, is up for sale again, as Taylor Boozan reports for Forbes. The Holmby Hills estate, described as ‘Los Angeles’ most coveted property’, comes with a price tag of $115 million. Owlwood was previously on the market in 2012 for $150 million (see here), and in 2018, it was reported that it was one of several Hollywood homes tied up in a Ponzi scheme.
It has become almost a cliché to link desirable properties to Marilyn, often with no factual basis – but Owlwood really was a part of her life, as while she may never have lived there, Marilyn often stayed in Schenck’s guest cottage, and later posed for photo shoots there with Milton Greene.
One can only imagine how this young starlet from a humble background (and with comparatively modest tastes) must have felt amid such opulent surroundings. After Schenck’s death in 1961, other famous occupants included Marilyn’s Some Like It Hot co-star, Tony Curtis, who sold it for $750,000 in 1974 to Sonny & Cher. And in 2017, rapper Jay-Z hosted a Grammy Awards after-party at Owlwood.

Spring Spoiler Possible: NYC, Boston
April 09, 2013; 4:45 PM
While temperatures will be on the rise across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic through Tuesday, how long the warmth lasts after that will depend whether cold or warm air wins an upcoming battle.
The warmth could last through most of the workweek ahead of the storm set to bring a blizzard to Denver and an outbreak of severe weather across the central and southern Plains.
Temperatures could soar into the 70s northward to Burlington, Vt., and into the 80s as far north as Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa., when the warmth peaks on Thursday.
How far south a cold front, set to arrive on Wednesday, can press through the Northeast and mid-Atlantic will determine whether the second half of the workweek feels more like the beginning or end of spring.
AccuWeather.com meteorologists currently expect the front to press southward across New England and upstate New York, halting the opportunity for further warming during the remainder of the week.
The cooler temperatures that would arrive Wednesday and Thursday would also be accompanied by clouds and a chilly rain. There could even be snow along the rain's northern fringe if temperatures fail to rise out of the 30s across far northern New England.
The warmth would hang on farther to the south across the mid-Atlantic until the storm from the Plains ushers in cooler air and rain Friday and Saturday.
While there was still concern over the weekend that a stronger blast of cold air will follow Wednesday's front, leading to a noticeable drop in temperatures as far south as Washington, D.C., by Thursday, it no longer looks like cold air will make it that far south.
Instead, the front will stop somewhere along the border of Pennsylvania and New York state.
Highs in the 40s and 50s would be common from Portland, Maine, to Boston, Mass. Thursday and Friday in this scenario, while the 80-degree warmth is suppressed to Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The solution that would lead to the 70-degree warmth as far north as Burlington, Vt., would only pan out if the front fails to drop south of Canada.
Along the final resting spot of the cold front, AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski stated, "It is possible that a 20- to 40-degree temperature contrast sets up over the same number of miles at the local level."
With that statement, it is easy to see why the Northeast and mid-Atlantic are facing such a temperature dilemma--one that can be quite common during the transition months of spring and fall.


text: The 8th release on Replug sees the winners of the Cid Inc. 'Filaments' remix contest get their official release along with the original mix as well. The contestants certainly had some great elements to work with as Cid Inc's original contains all of this Beatport nominated artist's best hallmarks; an excellent floor friendly bassline with plenty of groove and exceptional character, fresh sounds, a great hypnotic lead and enough punch to rock even the most discerning dancefloor. The contest was held in conjunction with findremix.com and it was a huge success with over 110 entries. It was a daunting task but these entries were reduced to 10 preselections which were then listened to and evaluated in Cid Inc's studio. After much deliberation the winning mixes were courtesy of Juan Deminicis, Pablo Acenso and Denis Kayron. Juan was the first prize winner and a long with getting his mix released on Replug he also received a copy of Ableton Live Intro, a one year Soundcloud Pro Account, 2 tracks mastered by Cid Inc. and an Interview on Findtheremix.com. Argentina's Juan Deminicis has really been coming to the forefront of the progressive scene of late with many of his productions getting heavy play from Hernan Cattaneo. For his 'Filaments' remix Juan has used the melodic lead over top of a meaty bottom end with great groove and emotional key changes for an amazing interpretation. His combination of grinding electronics and gorgeous washed out atmospherics coupled with the emotional lines is very unique and really sets this mix apart. Second place winner and also from Argentina Pablo Acenso gets his mix released on Replug as well as a one year Soundcloud Lite account and one track mastered by Cid Inc. Pablo's mix is a great alternative to Juan's as it offers much more of a techy, hypnotic and heads down vibe. This is a great peaktime interpretation from Pablo with it's awesome drive and energy that when coupled with his swirling atmo leads and crisp drums make for a sure fire dancefloor smash. For third place Russia's Denis Kayron also receives a one year Soundcloud Lite account and of course his mix released on Replug as well. Denis's mix offers a bit more of stripped down, driving approach. Exceptional sound design and very cool sections of scattered drums keep this mix very fresh and again certainly geared for primetime dancefloor action.

“Incredibly well-made and thrilling to watch from start to finish”– ScreenRant
Drawing inspiration from Star Wars and Indiana Jones, writer/director Phil Hawkins gives us a unique look at “where it all began”.
“I’ve spent 3 years making STAR WARS: ORIGINS and what is possibly the most expensive fan film ever made… it’s honestly not your usual fare. Shot in the Sahara Desert”, said Hawkins, “I’ve spent everything I have trying to making an original story that’s set on Earth during WWII. It’s a unique look at the saga you know but the origins you don’t.”
The film stars Marie Everett (WHAT HAPPENED TO MONDAY, Netflix), Hadrian Howard (THE MUMMY, MI ROGUE NATION) and Philip Walker, and one of our fan favorites, Jamie Costa (HAN SOLO: A SMUGGLER’S TRADE, HISHE, Kenobi Fanfilm)!
Star Wars: Origins has an imaginative story set against a remarkable background! The film is led by the very strong “Ellie” played by Everett and Costa’s brilliant “Harrison Ford-esque” Walter and takes fans through a story transformation not seen before.
I really loved this film!
The action was engaging and fun all the way to the emotional finale. Fans of Star Wars and Indiana Jones need to see this!

I'm looking for some powerful j2ee servlet Filters that make it simpler to track, monitor, block, analyse etc. Java web applications and (Tomcat/Glassfish etc.) web servers.
I'm more of a programmer than a heavy-duty server administrator, so the reason I'm looking for a software solution is that I don't want to spread out configuration over routers and firewalls or offline log analyzers etc. Managing a whole system infrastructure like that easily gets out of application scope.
A good example of what I like is Opensymphony's clickstream. I add a few .jar files into my web-app and configure the filter and filter-params. However this project is quite tiny and hasn't been developed for years.
Ideally the projects that I am seeking for would be open source with non-GPL license, so I can poke around the source code and incorporate it freely into my own code base.
I would like to graph and analyse, real-time if possible:
- Rolling averages of clicks/accesses per minute/hour by remote host or session.
- The average duration to process and render certain pages and URLs to monitor possible regression or slowdown (simple enough to make yourself, but certainly there must be something ready made for this?)
- Block or redirect clients exceeding certain access thresholds or brute force access patterns (= simple automated firewalling, DDoS protection, bandwidth limiting... )
- I love graphs. Can we get some graphs of various things by plugging in a filter?
- Draw a map of geographic locations of current users... etc.
What sort of drop-in solutions exist that perform this type of analysis and monitoring of web apps? I would love to be directed to appropriate projects.

Found yew! The 'oldest tree in Europe' discovered in a Welsh cemetery
The yew tree is more than 5,000 years old, from the era 3,000BC.
It started growing nearly 500 years before the Pharaohs built the Great Pyramid of Giza.
And it was a sapling at about the time work first began on building Stonehenge.
The 60ft wide tree’s age has been revealed by experts who carried out ring dating and DNA analysis.

Composer Rahman riding an ego high
By MESFIN FEKADU
NEW YORK — Since the success of "Slumdog Millionaire," composer A.R. Rahman not only has a larger profile, but he says he's got a confidence boost, too.
"The main thing is self-confidence, which is there. Every composer is complex within, and in a way I think you need to have a kind of confidence to achieve greater things," Rahman said in a phone interview.
"Coming from South India, you're always very timid, you're within your shell ... we always think that, you know, maybe I don't fit here, that kind of uncomfortableness," he said.
Rahman will be able to show off his new self on his upcoming U.S. tour, "A.R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour," which begins in New York this June.
"We've seen Indian shows where stars would come and lip-synch on a song ... and they would dance, and audiences wanted that stuff. Here, we have the real stars of music and the whole vision of the whole staging of the songs (with) segments of spirituality and celebration and festival, all these things, (and) love," Rahman said.
Rahman won two Grammy Awards and two Oscars for his work on the "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack, which has sold 390,000 copies in the United States, according to Interscope Records, which released the album.
His collaboration with the Pussycat Dolls, "Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)," hit the No. 1 spot in many countries, and became a Top 20 hit in the America. The song has sold close to 2 million downloads, the label said.
Rahman also headlined the first state dinner at the White House for President Obama last year.
He's capitalizing on his U.S. success with an upcoming CD planned soon.
"It's shaping up in its own way because I've been doing film music, I've been doing all kinds of music, and for me to focus on an album, to come up with an individual song, is again a great challenge and very exciting," he said.
He's already worked with Usher for a soundtrack song and recorded another track with Nicole Scherzinger that may appear on the CD, but Rahman says he's not rushing to put the album out.
"I'm not jumping the gun, I'm just gonna go with the feel of the album and see who all fits in," he said.

More than 38m could have voted
Britain's politicians will be looking for new ways to re-engage the public in the wake of another show of voters failing to turn out.
In the English local council elections, no more than one in three voters went to the polls, although turnout was boosted in areas using all-postal votes.
Opponents of devolution will also try to draw capital from the voting numbers for the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly polls.
In the Welsh elections, turnout was down by about 10% on 1999 - with apparently no more than 38% of voters making it to the ballot boxes.
The picture was better in Scotland, but there the turnout looked to have dipped below 50%, down about 8 points on last time.
New methods of voting were trialled in many local councils in an attempt to make voting easier.
Electoral Commission figures
suggest turnout in districts using all-postal ballots averaged 44%, up 10 points on the last elections in those areas.
But there were problems in St Albans, one of 17 councils offering e-voting.
Glitches with onscreen voting in polling booths meant officers had to manually check that those who wanted to vote electronically in the booths had not already voted at home.
The system failed to recognise the PIN number given to the electorate to prevent them from voting twice, but the council did manage to declare its results in the early hours.
According to a BBC survey on average there was a 20 point increase in the turnout in those wards using an all postal ballot.
Internet voting in advance of the election may have resulted in a slightly improved turnout where this facility was available but has once again proven far less effective at increasing turnout than all postal ballots.

Azerbaijani MFA: Armenia is left alone in context of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement
In the context of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Armenia is left alone, said Leyla Abdullayeva, spokesperson for Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The spokesperson made the remarks answering the media question on the statement by the Armenian Foreign Ministry regarding the former Shaumyan region of Azerbaijan.
The statement by the Armenian Foreign Ministry on the alleged occupation of the former Shahumyan region of Azerbaijan clearly demonstrates that the groundless territorial claims of Armenia against Azerbaijan are not limited to the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the seven adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, which are currently under occupation of the armed forces of Armenia, noted Abdullayeva.
“The former Shaumyan region of Azerbaijan was first created in 1930 in the form of an administrative unit, that is, the Shaumyan rural region, which included the territories of the former Ganja district, mainly inhabited by Armenians. This area has never been part of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region,” the spokesperson said. “In 1991, by the decision of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan, it was abolished and included in the Kasim-Ismailov region, and later, its historical name of Goranboy was returned to the area.”
The fact that the MFA of Armenia accuses Azerbaijan of occupying its own internationally recognized territories equally causes laughter and, to say the least, bewilderment, Abdullayeva stressed.
“We recall that in the 30th paragraph of the decision of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the case “Sargsyan v. Azerbaijan” of 2015 the Court noted that the former Shaumyan region (Goranboy) “was declared by the NKR as part of its territory ...”. Having considered the evidences presented, the Court in paragraphs 134 and 139 determined that the region is an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan and thus rejecting Armenia’s claims.”
“This statement by the MFA of Armenia, aimed at distracting the international community from the fact that it is Armenia that bears full responsibility for the military occupation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and the adjacent areas, and the violation of the fundamental rights of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis forcibly expelled from these territories, is a manifestation of dirty practice of falsification of facts by Armenia,” she said.
The spokesperson added that this statement of the occupying country once again demonstrated to the whole world how, in fact, the Armenian leadership is preparing its population for peace.
“In general, I would like to note that the latest statements by the MFA are aimed at escalating the already tense situation. It is difficult to say whether they are doing it consciously or from hopelessness, since today it is obvious that in the context of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Armenia is left alone. There is not a single country in the world who not only support, but even sympathize with the position of the Armenian side.
“Perhaps the difficult internal political situation in the country puts pressure on the latest statements and comments by the Armenian Foreign Ministry, and in this way they want to show their toughness. Although it would be more logical to sit down with us at the table and conclude negotiations in accordance with the proposals that have been repeatedly discussed at all levels,” Abdullayeva concluded.

Somehow this doesn't work out of the box – is there an adapter I can buy that will allow me to connect the Displayport output of my Macbook to the Thunderbolt input of my 27" Thunderbolt monitor?
As @bmike, @djacobson, and @jaberg have stated in comments, that will not work. There is currently (as of March 2012) no adapter, nor do I expect there to be one to adapt mini-DisplayPort to Thunderbolt. (The standards were defined to be backward-compatible, not forward-compatible.)
No this will not work. Check the system requirements for the Apple Thunderbolt display.
Thunderbolt-enabled Mac computer, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac OS X v10.6.8 or later
As of yet there is no way to add a Thunderbolt port to a Mac that did not ship with Thunderbolt.


if everything goes as planned-ill be building 32footer, but i need to consider other options, because shits goin down the drain here and fast....really fucking fast...Always look to the past for good answers to modern questions. Cold molding produces sophisticated results if you have the patience. If you and your dad can build a boat like that, then why not design and build the design what you want (or a copy) in cold molded plywood/glass? If the hull shape is spot on, the weight penalty you pay for using traditional materials won't really matter. Just add more sail (whats above the deck is where newer technologies to have the most edge). Plus you can fix/modify the thing yourself. And you'll have a timeless on-off and stories to talk about for the rest of your years.
River , lake, Sea or Ocean, Fresh and salt waterA location where you want to use it would help. River , lake, Sea or Ocean, Fresh or salt water, coldness of the water you go out on? Trailer boat or a morring storage most of the time? Dock or morring bouy?
Makes me wonder why you ask the question when you know the answer.i wonder- why no-one of major manufacturers doesn't go for projects like Natali 850, its 28ft, has standing headroom(190cm at galley and 182 at forward cabin), can plane and its possible to fit shower in it and it can be comfortable, i ve seen several boats completed by men at some russian forum
they also have daggerboard keel option
Thats a cool boat, thanks!Dash 34. Move the head from the v-berth to the aft quarter, and put a shower in it - I did this in mine without the shower, but it was certainly possible. You won't be able to stand up inside further forward than mid-cabin though.
You can get one sub-20K.
No one can. The only one is the Mac with the big engine. Under sail, though, it' a 4kSB. Was that a serious question?can you name at least 3 consumer grade sailboats that can do 35knots?
This is something you actually have to offer the group. Please go over to Political Anarchy and tell us about Russia from the insider's viewpoint.... but i need to consider other options, because shits goin down the drain here and fast....really fucking fast...

The Burbank Chamber of Commerce has received numerous reports from

calling themselves the Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Federal

Neither one is affiliated with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a

text: I have a semi feral cat that gave birth on the side of my house today. This cat rarely lets me touch her and she is usually skittish. When I heard kitten mews I quickly checked it out startled to see her laying in tall weeds with 4 kittens (all but the last one was still attached to the afterbirth through its umbilical chord. I was soooo afraid she would run away if I got close, but she didn't move a muscle. I pet her to make sure she was alright. She let me touch her and the kittens purring appreciatively. I had to cut the last ones chord. She is an outdoor cat so i know she wont come in my house. But because of the weather I could not leave her and her kittens to fend for themselves. So I got a storage box lined with towels and blanket covering the whole box. I have checked up on them and they all seem to be healthy. They are about 10hrs old and are all in my garage. She has not moved them yet and I hope to keep it that way for my garage is a complete mess of boxes and garbage. (Old toys/ect ) I give mamma strips of Turkey for she is a new mom and I want her to know that she is doing a good job. I have checked on them repeatedly and she is still laying with them. I also laid out food and water and plan to buy some special food for her tomorrow. I am the only one who has touched the kittens so far and she is very comfortable with me. I hope to clear the garage as she and the kittens are close to the back garage door and the is a small draft. There is a storm going on outside and I'm just happy she hasn't tried to move them yet. This is a wild cat that has just been around my house for the last 3months. I wish I could bring her into my home but I'm afraid that mite upset her to the point where she will hide the kittens. Any advice would help me and my new momma.

How can you make stunning terrariums?
Terrariums are simply natural ecosystems and miniature gardens. They make good use of containers instead of land. They are a perfect idea for those people who love natural décor and for those people who appreciate nature. Even without space, you can still have a terrarium lightening up your home with beauty. They are a good indoor décor and an outdoor décor as well. Many people prefer to house them indoors and they are normally placed in transparent glasses. You can choose to have a closed terrarium or choose to have an open terrarium. Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages but you should make sure that you are settling for something that will suit your needs and décor goals. There are many ways through which you can make stunning terrariums. Here is how to do it
Choosing the best glass container
The best and first way to make your terrarium is by choosing a suitable glass container. If you are going to purchase a new glass jar, you should make sure that they do not have stickers and even tags. After your purchase, you should clean the container very well just to make sure that there are no contaminants that will affect your terrarium plants. To come up with interesting décor, you should try to imagine how the décor will come out. It is through imagination that you will come up with a suitable décor for your home at terrarium workshop Singapore.
Make your bottom layer
For this layer, you will be needing rocks or pebbles. They are very important because they will act as the drainage system. You should make sure that this layer is thick.
The next important step is making sure that you have placed some activation charcoal inside. You can then put potting soil and plant your terrarium. Experts will take you through these steps at terrarium workshops Singapore.
