Tights are an accessory that, if properly selected, will help to highlight and emphasize the beauty of your legs. Today, almost all the manufacturers of tights and stockings offer more than a dozen varieties, including nylon tights, opaque tights, black tights, and much more. This means that the varieties of tights exist in different versions of density, different in design, and difference in purpose. Tights can be regular or special – to create various effects especially supporting the leg or shaping the figure. If you’re searching for tights to give a slimming look to your legs, then here are some tips for choosing the best tights UK.
There are three main types of tightening tights:
- supporting – Support;
- contouring – Body Contouring;
- corrective – Body-shaping, Push-up.
1. Support Tights
These are tights with a low degree of tightening. They have a gradient compression- high at the bottom and gradually decrease towards the waist. The best compression tights are those where the top is tight enough to hide the belly, and the bottom helps fight leg swelling and prevent varicose veins. Ideally, these tights also have a massage effect.
Supportive tights are relevant for everyday wear, especially for those who spend a lot of time on their feet. They usually go well with any type of casual wear because they come in various colors and designs such as black tights, nylon tights, red tights, etc.
But it should be kept in mind that even the best compression tights of this type are unlikely to give the effect of losing weight by more than one size.
2. Body Contouring
These tights have a higher degree of tightening than the previous ones. With them, you can visually lose weight by 1-2 sizes. The peculiarity of these tights is in areas of increased density, which helps to give the figure more relief.
These particular types of tights are meant to shape your figure and give a slimming effect to the body. As a rule, it is very easy to understand the effect produced by these tights- just look at the packaging.
All the compacted zones and their directions are schematically indicated on the instructions. You can wear these tights both for everyday wear and for going out. Do not forget that for tight-fitting clothes, you need to choose tight with an inconspicuous flat seam. It is recommended to first try on tights to see if the compacted inserts create too sharp transitions.
3. Corrective Tights
These tights are able to transform the figure, or we can say reshape it. Due to the thickened top, they can visually reduce the waist by 2-4 sizes. In the presence of corrective areas on the hips, they are excellent at getting rid of breeches. And its special semicircular shape helps lift the buttocks.
Best tights UK will help you get the perfect shape without diets and simulators- but always keep in mind that wearing extremely slimming regularly can harm your body. A strong degree of tightening is more likely for evening celebrations or any special occasions when you need to look stunning.
When buying the best tights UK, it is very important to choose tight with a flat seam- both for invisibility under clothes and for greater comfort. Also, it is recommended to choose the one that matched exactly in size to give the desired look.
Thus for ladies with minor problems, compression tights will be the best choice for every day- it will not only smooth out figures flaws but also helps the legs feel better. With the noticeable problems, it is worth choosing contouring tights that work in the right areas of your body.
Well, for special occasions, you should definitely add corrective tights to your wardrobe, which will turn your body into an ideal in a matter of minutes.
You can find the best tights UK of any of these three types in an online store. Now you do not need to look for suitable tights at local stores, just pick your phone and buy tights of your choice anytime, anywhere in just a few clicks.

Two Lives : Gertrude and Alice Paperback
"How had the pair of elderly Jewish lesbians survived the Nazis?" Janet Malcolm asks at the beginning of this extraordinary work of literary biography and investigative journalism.
The pair, of course, is Gertrude Stein, the modernist master "whose charm was as conspicuous as her fatness" and "thin, plain, tense, sour" Alice B.
Toklas, the "worker bee" who ministered to Stein's needs throughout their forty-year expatriate "marriage." As Malcolm pursues the truth of the couple's charmed life in a village in Vichy France, her subject becomes the larger question of biographical truth. "The instability of human knowledge is one of our few certainties," she writes.
The portrait of the legendary couple that emerges from this work is unexpectedly charged.
The two world wars Stein and Toklas lived through together are paralleled by the private war that went on between them.
This war, as Malcolm learned, sometimes flared into bitter combat.
Two Lives is also a work of literary criticism. "Even the most hermetic of [Stein's] writings are works of submerged autobiography," Malcolm writes. "The key of 'I' will not unlock the door to their meaning-you need a crowbar for that-but will sometimes admit you to a kind of anteroom of suggestion." Whether unpacking the accessible Autobiography of Alice B.
Toklas, in which Stein "solves the koan of autobiography," or wrestling with The Making of Americans, a masterwork of "magisterial disorder," Malcolm is stunningly perceptive. Praise for the author: "[Janet Malcolm] is among the most intellectually provocative of authors ...able to turn epiphanies of perception into explosions of insight."-David Lehman, Boston Globe "Not since Virginia Woolf has anyone thought so trenchantly about the strange art of biography."-Christopher Benfey

Review by nancyewhite
A literary biography of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Tolklas by New Yorker writer Janet Malcolm. This is not a chronology of their lives but rather explorations of particular questions like "How did two Jewish lesbians survive WWII in France?" and "What is the biographer/critic's role when writing about a subject?" It is, of course, very, very well written and quite interesting if you have a basic knowledge of their lives. If you don't, you should probably start with The Autobiography of Alice B. Tolklas by Stein herself.

WHEN we invest ourselves in the truth, we take on a relationship with reality. When we invest ourselves in deception, we lose our very footing in the world and our own sense of selves.
Honesty sets the parameters to proper conversation. Truth itself contains parameters of its own beingness. Dishonesty confuses both the speaker and the listener until neither can see the other one.
Untruths are like vagrant viruses that will find a host in vacant minds.
Self truth is not supreme truth or ultimate truth, but it is a clear voice and clear thought, uncontaminated with pretence. Self denial is the worm that eats at the Tree of Life itself... the cold and poisonous snake of a tongue out of order.
Accuracy brings pleasure - the very certain pleasure of correctness, of completion, of fulfillment, of endeavor's wins. Inaccuracy brings with it the delusion that everything else is as chaotic and nonsensical and its only happiness lies in dilemma.
Truth is central, untruth is peripheral.
An untruth can never find its way closer to the company of divine reality - for there it has no friends or commerce. This law is important, because it decides many unseen happenings of who knows who and what becomes of them.
Truth is not unkind, because in truth we are all one and the same. Unkindness creates dissent and disquiet, and feeds the worm and the snake of the same.
Every moment gives us this deciding - to refer to the truth we know, or defer to the common thought. The choices are, as all choice is, significant.
Truth endures and is ever pressing to be recognized. There before the mind's eye and soul's window, it stands before each man and woman and repeats what it knows, begs to be heard and pronounced above all.
It is not a question of punishment or harm that decides that untruth is so condemned, it is just the imperfect foreknown result - the ingredient of failure that all deception has. There is no life to sustain it, because life requires a central line, one that is connected through to the higher realms that support it so. Without this life the peripherals diminish.
Some things you know to be true, and it is exceedingly helpful to recite or write some of these truths to help substantiate yourself. Truth telling is a tonic to the mind and the 'I am' in that it reinforces one's sense of self that it might find itself anew.
It is the fastest way to find bearings throughout the afflictions of nervousness, anger or sorrow. Truth restores stability and puts an even ground to the feet that walk it. And it especially does not have to be a complex truth or an emotional confession.
For example:The Sun comes up in the morning.Today I had breakfast.I love the warmth of my blanket.I never felt right about eating an egg.When I was young I made many mistakes.I have often wished I could do better.I do not feel pretty.Boats float in water.Water feels wet.Rain feels wet.Wet feels wet.
Whether you recite your mathematical tables, i.e. "one plus two equals three" - or go to those truths that are more personal or complex, the effect will give you stability both without and within. At times folk love to sing songs or say verses, and it can be just the very action of getting the word or the note 'right' that brings them to an ease because of it. And of course, the truth that the words inspire also will give over a strong and healthy effect.
Equally so, false words and thoughts create inner conflict and outer tensions. These do not have to be complex or emotional to cause terrible results. There is no good reason to list them as it would cause you to contemplate them, however if you spend just a week trying to cite those 'hollow truths' (untruth that has no center, no heart, and is just peripheral) then you will make great progress in relation to personal confidence and even general health.
The point is to find out those emissions and omissions that decry our true selves, or the humble and kind truth about another - to find them and make a conscious correction. To stop saying things we do not know and to stop thinking unkindly.
All of this might sound as if it is an impossible task, however such vigilance eventually returns to instinct as the heart is given back its rightful discerning place above the intellect, and the thinking is refreshed by the new life it now has.
You might find that you have a keener interest in receiving the truth and less tolerance for the chaos that untruth does bring. Irritation from this is quite normal because you are becoming more honest with yourself in this process and will know what afflicts you more readily. This is a small price to pay to feel what is going on - far better to know a reality than contribute and put up with a false reality. For the false reality derides the self and negotiates misery for all concerned. If you truly do not belong somewhere, then you simply do not belong.
Of course there are work situations and some social situations where you have to be in the company of false talkers that compromise your own sense of honesty just by their very presence. What are you to do in that moment? Or in that place where you cannot leave?
"Your truth is not my truth.I cannot be the judge of you.But I can be this of me -my values, my words, made whole."
If a man or woman is asking for your agreement to something - whether by consenting silence or word, and it is something you do not recognize to hold truth with - you can firstly remind yourself mentally that their truth is not your truth. What this does also, is repel by your will within the thought, their thoughts directed at you. You can always repel an untruth with a truth. Truths are supremely powerful because they have life to them which comes from many sources. Untruths are merely powered by the momentary voracity of the person putting them out there.
And so, in a fair and balanced and very 'true' way - when you say: "Your truth is not my truth", it acknowledges the boundaries you put there around yourself to be contained from that which you do not choose to receive. And of course, they may be right... or they may be untrue... yet if you do not know it for yourself to be true, it can even be damaging to take to yourself a truth before you are ready to understand and know if for yourself.
Too easily a truth can become contaminated with a false comprehension and become an untruth because it is mixed and mingled with poor thinking etc. And so you see this process is deeply personal also and very relative to where you stand at any given moment. It is unoffensive to simply say (inwardly) "your truth is not my truth".
Secondly: "I cannot be the judge of you". This is essential to come to terms with, even though our own personal discernment for our own truths will beg that we do assume and characterize every one we meet with and see. However in truth, it is not within our power or permission to judge another, and it goes very badly because it will assuredly arrive at a false idea, lacking the full truth, and only cause problems for ourselves.
We can discern for ourselves what appears to us in part, that we do not accept or value. This is well within our means to decide and imperative to our own development and interactions. But what it ultimately acknowledges also is, that I am not my brother's keeper in relation to his faults and flaws - only his needs and humanity am I responsible for. Once we enter into become judge and jailer we become entangled in a karmic contrivance that is best not to enter into. For that reason alone commonsense can steer us away from assuming we are in a position high enough to view all and judge it so.
"But I can be this of me..." - most definitely! This is a call for self appraisal with an honest eye and humble account. Once again kindness is essential to this perspective. Be kind but be fair, is a marvelous adage. This line calls for the right, the cosmic right, to be one's own judge and to get used to this. Do not expect or assume perfection in yourself, because you are either deceiving yourself or trying to deceive others by such hopefulness.
Being true to oneself first and foremostly, means that with a kind spirit you can accept that works that are worthwhile take much time and striving. Merit is won through striving; and whilst in truth we can all feel quite perfect in any given moment (and this be true also), we all have imperfections to work upon and weaknesses that require strength-building. If you cannot admit to failings you have nowheres to go.
Nobody else can tell you the truths you know yourself. If you refuse to acknowledge them, the loneliness you feel will come from the separation of your own self from self; and then with the curse of such deception come the 'peripheral' relationships you have as a result of this.
"My values, my words, made whole." When we personally measure reality by our own truthfulness to self and to the world, we can go on to share in moments that are blissfully truthful and bare and real, with others who are doing the same. These moments build a life and a world that encases a spiritual future.
Reality has a heart. So often the word 'reality' is derided and put into doubt by those who do not accept the goodness inherent in real truth and real life.
Yet do not be disheartened, because every individual can find their way back to what is real and whole through exercising their values with a sense of correctness - beginning with just that which they themselves know to be real. Everyone can do this. The whole truth and nothing but the truth, will bring one into the blessed state of communion that is Life itself.

Friday, 16 July 2010
Director: Nimrod Antal
Screenplay: Michael Finch and Alex Litvak, based on characters created by Jim Thomas and John Thomas
Starring: Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo and Derek Mears
Running Time: 107 minutes
Genre: Science-fiction, action, adventure
Summary: Ex-US Army Special Forces soldier turned mercenary, Royce (Brody), wakes up to find himself in freefall above a mysterious jungle with no memory of how he got there. When he lands in the jungle he encounters others including a Mexican drug cartel enforcer (Trejo), a black ops sniper (Braga) and a US Death Row inmate (Walton Goggins). All of them are highly trained soliders or murderous criminals. The one exception appears to be an ordinary doctor (Grace). Deciding to join forces, the group soon discover that they are on an alien planet, which is being used as a giant game preserve. They have been brought there by a technologically-advanced race of alien "Predators", who bring the most dangerous specimens from various worlds to their planet in order to hunt and kill them for sport.
Opinions: This Robert Rodriguez produced movie is the fourth film to feature the Predator aliens, following Predator (1987), Predator 2 (1991), Aliens vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). However, while the events of the first film are referenced in the movie, the other sequels are completely ignored, which is understandable in the case of the Aliens vs. Predator films. This film is very close in spirit to the original, returning to the first film's jungle setting and it's survival-action storyline. The title of this movie, which is an intentional reference to Aliens (1986), also has something of a double meaning referring both to the alien Predators themselves as well as to the human characters, who are referred to by one character as "the monsters of our world". It's safe to say that not many of them are particularly likeable or sympathetic, with the exception of Alice Braga's sniper. The performances are uniformly good with Adrien Brody, who put on 25 pounds of muscle to play the part, particularly effective in the lead role. The movie hearkens back to the spirit of the all-out action movies of the 1980s with the pace rarely letting up once the movie kicks into gear. The action scenes are well-handled and manage not to degenerate into a confusing mess and the special effects are all very impressive with the Predators particularly impressive, with each creature given individual design touches, with the basic design thankfully largely unchanged. There are also some new creatures added to the mix. The main problem with the movie is that there are not really many surprises, basically it's just the original Predator but on a much larger scale. Also the movie doesn't really have a proper ending it just kind of stops, presumably to leave room for the inevitable sequel.
However, it is a fun back to basics action movie which manages to be consistently entertaining and containing enough action and monsters to keep both fans of the series and general movie-goers happy.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors observed a moment of silence Tuesday in honor of the local victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting, described by board Chairman John Tavaglione as “an extreme act of meanness.”
“A country music concert is full of fun, excitement. It’s full of life,” Tavaglione said. “But one individual decided to take people’s lives. It’s very, very difficult to deal with this over and over again. But it’s just a sign of the times unfortunately.”
The supervisor mentioned several of those killed by name — Angela Gomez, 20, of Riverside, Christopher Roybal, 28, of Riverside and Tom Day Jr., 54, of Corona.
“Monday was just a horrible, horrible day for our nation,” Tavaglione said. “All because of an extreme act of meanness and sickness on the part of an individual who had no care for life.”
The chairman confirmed with Undersheriff Bill DiYorio that two deputies who were attending the concert and wounded during the shooting spree are recovering. One of the victims, a correctional deputy, suffered an unspecified minor injury, while the other victim, a patrol deputy, suffered a serious wound and remains hospitalized. Their names have not been released.
Tavaglione was informed during the meeting that a Department of Probation employee, also not identified, was hurt as well, but not seriously.
Following Tavaglione’s remarks, county CEO George Johnson directed staff to reactivate a public safety committee that had been formed immediately after the December 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack to review the county’s procedures for dealing with mass casualty events — natural or intentional.
The committee disbanded after submitting recommendations on changes to various security protocols, which led to metal detectors and guards being permanently posted to the main entrance of the County Administrative Center in downtown Riverside.
Johnson said he wanted the committee back in place to take another look at security and contingency plans in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting rampage.

More than a third of Facebook’s daily active users have opted in to have their faces recognized by the social network’s system. That’s about 640 million people.
Facebook has agreed to pay penalties over findings that the company’s hiring practices intentionally discriminated against Americans in favor of foreign workers, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
The six-hour outage at Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp was a headache for many casual users but far more serious for millions of people worldwide who rely on the sites to run their businesses or communicate with relatives, fellow parents, teachers or neighbors.
A former Facebook data scientist testified to the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection. She is accusing the company of being aware of apparent harm to some teens from Instagram and being dishonest in its public fight against hate and misinformation.
The impact was major for multitudes of Facebook’s nearly 3 billion users, showing just how much the world has come to rely on it and its properties—to run businesses, connect with online communities, log on to multiple other websites and even order food.
The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday filed the new complaint in federal court in Washington, alleging that Facebook violated antitrust laws by buying Instagram and WhatsApp in order to eliminate them as competitors.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled Monday that the lawsuits were “legally insufficient” and didn’t provide enough evidence to prove that Facebook was a monopoly.
In an unprecedented step, Facebook and Twitter suspended President Donald Trump from posting to their platforms Wednesday following the storming of the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
The lawsuits together represent the most significant political and legal threats to Facebook in its more than 16-year history, setting up a high-profile clash between U.S. regulators and one of Silicon Valley’s most profitable firms that could take years to resolve.
Federal regulators on Wednesday sued to force a breakup of Facebook as 48 states and districts accused the company in a separate lawsuit of abusing its market power in social networking to crush smaller competitors.
The push against Facebook and Twitter accelerated Thursday after Republican senators threatened the CEOs of the companies with subpoenas to force them to address accusations of censorship in the closing weeks of the presidential campaign.
The House investigation of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google stopped short of calling for a breakup of any of the companies. Instead, it proposed the most sweeping overhaul of U.S. antitrust law in decades.
The four chief executives—Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Apple’s Tim Cook, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Sundar Pichai—took the witness stand to fiercely defend their businesses Wednesday.
A regulator will this month publish draft rules forcing the two U.S. tech giants to share revenue generated from news with the original publishers. Should others follow, it would chip away at two of the most wildly successful business models of the 21st century.
On Tuesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg met with a group of civil rights leaders, including the organizers of a growing advertising boycott over hate speech on Facebook.
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has come under criticism from rival Elizabeth Warren, who charges that Buttigieg is too cozy with Facebook. Buttigieg’s aides confirmed that his campaign hired two digital analytics staff recommended by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
A state-level antitrust investigation into the social network now has the backing of a bipartisan group of 47 attorneys general.
The focus will be on Facebook’s plan to create a digital currency and its role in housing. The company agreed in a legal settlement in March to overhaul its ad-targeting systems to prevent discrimination in housing, credit and employment ads.
Two bipartisan groups of state attorneys general are launching separate antitrust investigations into Facebook and Google, adding to regulatory scrutiny of two of the world’s largest and most ubiquitous tech companies.
The fine is the largest the Federal Trade Commission has levied on a tech company, though it won’t make much of a dent for a company that had nearly $56 billion in revenue last year.


Siraj Fegessa has resigned from his deputy chairmanship of the Southern Ethiopian Peoples’ Democratic Movement (SEPDM) effective today, The Reporter has learnt.
Demeke Mekonnen, chairman of the Amhara National Democratic Movement (ANDM), one of the four parties constituting the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) and...
Hailemariam Dessalegn was on the pedestal chairing the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) Executive Committee meeting that went for the whole week starting March 11, 2018, for the last time. It was a must for Hailemariam to chair the Executive Committee meeting of the coalition as the statute of the EPRDF states that such a meeting has to be chaired by the chair of the party.

Benign positional vertigo (BPV) is possibly the most common reason for vertigo, the feeling that the interior of your head or that your whole body is rotating oddly. Usually this is accompanied by light-headedness, queasiness, throwing up, collapsing, and a feeling of detachment from your environments. BPV typically causes just quick episodes of wooziness, usually no greater than 10 mins. It is often brought on by muscle spasms or by an absence of blood flow to the nerves in the internal ear. However, some individuals have no signs at all. Stand Up Dizzy Blood Pressure
Stand Up Dizzy Blood Pressure
A lot of cases of lightheadedness are triggered by several of the problems that influence the mind and also interfere with its ability to function properly. If you are experiencing symptoms that you think are vertigo, your physician will certainly more than likely recommend antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants as therapies for these problems. Antihistamines decrease the activity of the chemicals in the body that cause the response that creates vertigo. Tricyclic antidepressants are made use of to treat allergic reactions, anxiety, and other comparable problems. Stand Up Dizzy Blood Pressure
Specific medicines might likewise create vertigo. Doxycycline can decrease the stamina of your muscular tissues that support your equilibrium. This lowers the quantity of fluid in your mind that triggers your wooziness. Various other medications that might consist of doxycycline are Prednisone, Acetylcholine, Phenytoin, and NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines).
Vertigo that does not enhance with over-the-counter therapy can be treated by your doctor. These treatments consist of prescription medications, surgical procedure, and antihistamines. If your dizziness is serious, your physician may recommend you to have a committed echocardiography system or VASER (vesicular stentibular valve stimulation) treatment. This treatment utilizes a laser to open up the narrowed capillary that create the dizziness. The laser may also minimize the quantity of liquid buildup in your mind that triggers dizziness.
Some people have troubles with wooziness without therapy. In these situations, it is essential to figure out why you experience the symptoms. Your physician may need to do tests such as an MRI or CT check to determine the underlying problem. He may also execute some straightforward research laboratory examinations in order to dismiss or verify the medical diagnosis.
Some of the reasons that may lead to wooziness consist of a problem called sensorineural hearing loss. This problem occurs when there is damages to the internal ear. This can be brought on by an ear infection, an injury, or a side effect of specific medicines. Other causes can be high fevers, ear infection, meniere’s condition, Meniere’s disorder, or vestibular neurons.
If you are experiencing wooziness, you must make note of where your dizziness is affecting your equilibrium. You ought to likewise understand if the modifications in equilibrium are happening for a long period of time or if they are just taking place in a short time period. This will certainly assist your medical professional to determine the reason for vertigo and also the correct treatment. If you assume that your dizziness is because of a lack of balance, you ought to consult your medical professional. Your health care specialist will be able to provide you with important details concerning vertigo as well as just how you can control the symptoms.
In order to identify the precise root cause of vertigo, your health care professional will certainly more than likely have you go through an extensive examination to eliminate any type of underlying physical reasons. Among one of the most usual causes of lightheadedness is low high blood pressure or high blood pressure. If you have been diagnosed with either of these conditions, you should follow your medical professional’s orders and stick to your normal medicine. By reducing your high blood pressure, your lightheadedness could be gotten rid of. Nevertheless, your condition may call for treatment to lower your high blood pressure naturally.
An additional usual source of vertigo is experiencing hearing loss. As we age, our hearing ends up being much less effective, which might result to vertigo. If you have actually been experiencing wooziness with no various other signs and symptoms, it may be challenging to identify the issue. As quickly as you start experiencing any kind of kind of audio or sound in your ear, you should right away contact your medical professional.
Some signs that can suggest the existence of a vestibular migraine headache consist of: nausea or vomiting, vomiting, faintness, and also fainting. Due to the fact that these symptoms can be combined, your medical professional may carry out examinations to verify the visibility of vertigo. If your signs and symptoms correspond, your doctor might carry out added examinations such as catheterizations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as computerized tomography (CT) scan.


NewsDepth Inbox: Season 47 - Episode #6
NEWSDEPTH QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Should we get rid of the Electoral College and elect Presidents by popular vote? Be sure to tell us why you made this decision.
Alexis, Buckeye Elementary School: I think that we should get rid of the Electoral College and elect presidents from popular vote, because it would be easier for people to vote. It wouldn't be as confusing for any of the people or government to decide who to vote for, because there are a little more than 1,000 people trying to be president.
Corbin, Claggett Middle School: The topic that caught my eye was the Elector vote. I think there should be the Elector vote, because if the vote was just chosen by the people, the president would have been chosen by opinions from the Internet, and the Internet isn't always true. If the Elector vote stayed it would also be chosen by many people who have looked at the facts and made a decision.
Tristan, Ayer Elementary: I think that the popular vote should elect the president, not the Electoral College. If the Electoral College elects the new President, it would not be fair to the general public to vote and not be able to win the election because of the Electoral College. I thought that if the general public votes for the new President, then it would be fair to everyone. That means that if the general public does the voting, everyone tries to elect the president, not just 538 people.
Caedmon, Maryland Elementary: I voted that the electoral votes should be taken out of the process, because if someone voted for the Democrat and the rest of his/her state voted Republican, then all the electoral votes would be in favor of the Republicans. This makes the Democrats’ votes not count.
Bella, Rock Creek Elementary: My favorite part of the October 27th episode of NewsDepth was when Mr. Nick talked about the election about Ted Strickland and Rob Portman for our Ohio Senate. It was nice to know something about the election that is native to Ohio, not the whole United States. Although it is very interesting to learn about our country’s presidential election, it is also very exciting and interesting to learn about what’s happening in our home state. I would personally vote for Rob Portman because flyers come to our house like every day saying to vote for Rob Portman. I usually read them but I don’t really know anything about politics yet; the only thing I really know is what you guys tell me and what my parents tell me, so, I don’t really know what he’ll do for us but, I know a little bit. Thank you for providing me with enough information to keep up with the times!
Summer, Bassett Elementary: We think that we should continue the Electoral College because it gives presidential candidates a chance to be elected even if they didn't win the popular vote, and what if the popular candidate wouldn't be a good leader for our country? Some great Presidents have been elected by the Electoral College, like George W. Bush in 2000. Also, we feel we should keep the Electoral College because that was the way our Founding Fathers thought our government should be, and why would they make this choice if it wasn't a good one, and it still works today!
Maya, Maryland Elementary:
I really liked your story on the pumpkin carver so much it inspired me to write a poem!
Pumpkin carving is so much fun!
U should really try it
Make a pumpkin
Kids will come and make a riot
Interested by all the spooky stuff they have seen
Never seen a finer sight on this Halloween
Carve the pumpkin carefully
And you will succeed
Really tiny details
Very hard to see
Everyone hopes you like it

ON EVE OF HAITI’S ELECTIONS, HAITIAN CITIZENS AND FOUR HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS FILE PETITION AGAINST UNITED STATES FOR OVERTHROWING HAITI’S DEMOCRACY IN 2004 COUP D’ETAT
Audio Press Conference Call on February 2, 2006, 11:00 am ET
To participate, email firstname.lastname@example.org, or call 541-432-0597
Complaint cites US support for systematic campaign to undermine democratic government, funding and military support of opposition and paramilitary groups, and the kidnapping of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide by U.S. forces.
Washington, D.C. – Haitian citizens and four human rights organizations — The Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law School, TransAfrica Forum, the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, and the Haiti-based Bureau des Avocats Internationaux — will file a landmark Petition on February 2nd before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in Washington, D.C. On behalf of Haitian citizens, whose democratic rights were violated by the February 2004 overthrow of Haiti’s constitutional government, and the installation of an illegal, unelected regime, the petition names the governments of the United States, the Dominican Republic and the Interim Government of Haiti.
“This documents the systematic attack on Haiti’s democracy by the three governments which included undermining the Aristide government through illegal embargoes on development assistance and police supplies, supporting both unarmed and armed groups in the overthrow of the government and kidnapping the democratically-elected President on February 29, 2004,” says Brian Concannon, Director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti.
Further, explained James J. Silk, Director of the Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law School, “The petition seeks to break new ground in establishing that international law protects citizens’ democratic choice of government, not only from the violence of domestic opposition, but also from the intervention of powerful states. It relies on a number of international agreements, including the Inter-American Democratic Charter and the OAS Charter, to establish that Haitians have the right to participate in government by voting, running for and holding office, and expressing their political views.”
The petition establishes that:
• The Bush administration destabilized the democratically-elected government of Haiti by conspiring to cut off all assistance and to prevent the Haitian police to arm themselves while assisting so-called rebels to overthrow the government;
• The Dominican Republic assisted the overthrow of the democratic government by allowing so-called rebels to train in that country and to launch strikes against the democratically-elected government of Haiti;
• The Interim Government of Haiti, placed there by US Marines and the Bush Administration, is illegal and has engaged in massive repression of the Haitian people.
WHO: Congresswoman Maxine Waters, (D-CA); Brian Concannon, Esq., Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti; Prof. Jim Silk, Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic/Yale Law School; Ira Kurzban, Esq., Kurzban, Kurzban, Weinger and Tetzeli PA; Nicole Lee, Director of Operations, TransAfrica Forum, Inc.

West Nile Virus (WNV) is one of a group of disease-causing viruses spread by mosquitoes. It first appeared in the United States in 1999. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected with WNV when they feed on infected birds.
Most people who are bitten by a mosquito with WNV will not get sick. People who do become ill may experience flu-like symptoms such as a fever, headache and body ache but the virus can also cause severe illness and even death.
Approximately one in five people bitten by an infected mosquito will become ill. Less than one percent of infected individuals require hospitalization. The elderly and the immune-compromised are most susceptible to severe illness caused by WNV.
Definitions related to West Nile Virus infections in humans:
- Infection refers to both persons who have laboratory evidence of recent or current WNV infection regardless of whether or not they have symptoms.
- West Nile fever is an illness with fever and a variety of symptoms, including headache, muscle and joint pain, and sometimes a skin rash or enlarged lymph nodes. The illness may go away in a few days or could last for several weeks.
- Neuroinvasive disease (affecting the central nervous system) can occur in three forms:
- Aseptic Meningitis, which is an inflammation of the membranes covering the brain. Symptoms include fever, headache, stiff neck and abnormal white blood cells when the spinal fluid is tested
- Myelitis, which results in paralysis of one or more limbs
- Encephalitis, which means swelling of the brain. Symptoms include fever, headache and altered mental status ranging from confusion to coma.
Severe West Nile Virus disease can result in death.
To reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes and contracting WNV, residents are urged to follow Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District's 7D’s of protection:
- DEFEND yourself against mosquitoes by using an effective repellant, such as DEET, Picaridin or Oil of Lemon of Eucalyptus. Make sure you follow label directions
- DRAIN all sources of standing water that may support mosquito breeding habitats
- DOOR and window screens should be in good working condition. This will prevent mosquitoes from entering your home
- Moquito Vector Control DISTRICT personnel are on hand to help address any mosquito problem you may be experiencing
- DAWN and DUSK are times to avoid. This is the time when mosquitoes are most active
- DRESS appropriately by wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors.
Help us track down the West Nile Virus by reporting all dead birds and squirrels. Telephone 1-877-968-2473 toll-free to report a dead bird or squirrel. You can also submit an online report at www.westnile.ca.gov/report_wnv.php
Further information about the latest West Nile Virus activity throughout California, and by individual County, can be found at http://www.westnile.ca.gov/.

The Greenworks Philadelphia plan is a collaborative effort of citizens, city government and community partners to make Philadelphia ‘the greenest city in America,’
Houston, TX (Vocus) March 31, 2010
Sustainability and business leaders led by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter will headline the International Facility Management Association’s Facility Fusion conference when it comes to Philadelphia, Pa., April 13-15. Nutter, as well as professor and sustainability expert Chris Laszlo, Ph.D., will speak on Wednesday, April 14. Author Jim Mathis and sustainability consultant Sheila Brown will speak on the conference’s final day, Thursday, April 15.
A native of Philadelphia with an accomplished career in public service, business and financial administration, Mayor Nutter will speak at 8:30 a.m. on April 14 and welcome Facility Fusion attendees to the conference. The mayor will discuss the latest green initiatives taking place in Philadelphia — including Greenworks Philadelphia, the city’s sustainability plan — and share the strides taken to help Philadelphia become one of the top 10 greenest cities in the United States.
“The Greenworks Philadelphia plan is a collaborative effort of citizens, city government and community partners to make Philadelphia ‘the greenest city in America,’” said Mayor Nutter. “Reducing energy consumption by 30 percent in city government buildings by 2015 is one Greenworks goal that will produce immediate and long-term energy costs savings while implementing sustainability into green building design practices.”
Nutter’s opening remarks will be followed by power speaker Chris Laszlo’s presentation, “How to Make Your Case to the C-Suite.” Laszlo, author of several books as well as a visiting professor at Case Western Weatherhead School of Management and the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, will help facility professionals discover how to develop clear sustainability initiatives and programs and then sell them to upper management.
Highlighting the conference’s final day will be presentations from power speakers Jim Mathis and Sheila Brown. Mathis, an author, business consultant and president of The Mathis Group, will present “Reinventing Yourself for the New World of Work: 7 Bold Truths to Becoming a Market Leader.” His presentation will focus on responding to the recession through a market-oriented, consumer-driven business plan.
Brown, an associate with Stantec consulting who helped develop Canada’s LEED® credentials, will present “Green Buildings: Trends for 2010.” She will discuss the latest energy, environmental and sustainability issues impacting the built environment and provide tips for making the business case for green building operations.

How Business Spend Management Can Help Accelerate Financial Transformation
Most companies are battling to navigate today’s economic headwinds. Inflation is one of the biggest current challenges, yet simply raising prices is not an option for most organizations. If the cost of operating isn’t impacting margins, then deteriorating cost, cash, and capital structures tend to be the risks most commonly associated with skilled labor and years of accumulated technical debt. To face this commercial context, CFOs must take a broader, long-term view and find effective ways of accelerating financial transformation to become more efficient across key processes and drive faster business value.
Intelligent digital innovation is essential to finding rapid and effective ways to automate transaction processing, enhance ecosystem collaboration, and enable strategic, actionable insights that maintain cash flow, improve margins, increase profitability, and reduce risk in challenging times.
One area that checks all these boxes is managing business spend across the organization. Better spend management enables enterprises to source more frequently, increase competitive procuring and bidding, and — through increased visibility — govern non-compliant transactions. Paying greater attention to what is spent, how, when, and by whom, is transformational. Imagine, for example, if your company could save 6.6% of every dollar it spends with suppliers? Or the impact of automating 70% of all your source-to-pay transactions? Or finding more strategic levers to bring not just savings, but yield to spend?
According to The 2023 Business Spend Management (BSM) Benchmark Report from Coupa, based on data compiled from its community of more than 3,000 customers and 9.5 million suppliers, companies are doing just that by applying the latest spend management capabilities and technology.
To achieve these results, full visibility and control, coupled with higher user and supplier adoption of every aspect of corporate spend, is essential. Enabling procurement and supply chain teams to collaborate more effectively with their finance colleagues gives them the control they need to turn potential savings into budget certainty and drive the business forward with confidence.
Let’s take a look at some of the ways that investing in an effective Business Spend Management platform can help CFOs drive financial transformation.
Start by transforming the engagement model
As the old saying goes, you can’t manage what you can’t measure. Leveraging best-of-breed procurement technology built on an AI platform with integrated data allows more users across business functions to gain real-time insights into spend and opportunity. Yet in this day and age, it’s alarming that some companies still don’t have an accurate picture of their business spend — particularly discretionary expenditure. Nor do they have the necessary controls in place to make informed decisions when selecting the right suppliers, ensuring contractual and regulatory compliance, meeting their ESG commitments, and mitigating risk. Both users and suppliers that operate in a single platform become critical inputs to a successful financial transformation. Coupa has defined minimum standards of 100% of enterprise users and 98% of suppliers active and collaborating within its platforms.
Bringing all direct and indirect spend together on a single platform addresses all these issues by consolidating all relevant data and providing a single version of the truth from source to pay. As well as the obvious savings opportunities, this transparency increases budget certainty and user-to-supplier collaboration, improves financial forecasting accuracy, and identifies cost vs. cash trade-offs. It also helps build better and more open relationships with suppliers, enables continuous monitoring of contract compliance and ESG conformance, and drives better risk management.
Effective controls are equally important; they are the rails that keep the financial train moving in the right direction. By integrating your FP&A planning process with on-the-ground spend decisions with BSM, for example, you can allocate your resources more effectively and be more agile with your strategic investment decisions. Improving the quality of spend data — even across ERP systems — also helps finance and business teams make better decisions faster, based on accurate information. Improved control gives companies more levers to optimize working capital using early payment discount terms (EPD), stretching days payable outstanding (DPO) and having real-time project-level transactional detail to ensure capital efficiency.
Controls are often automated and embedded into processes, making them transparent to employees and easy to use, and helping rather than hindering both process and outcome. Other areas where automation is particularly effective with BSM include invoicing and payment reconciliation. In fact, up to 90% automation of basic repetitive tasks is achievable within the first year — improving the employee experience, boosting productivity, and enabling both the procurement and finance teams to focus on higher value activities that move the business forward. This can also lead to the development of a strategic finance “front-office.”
Make your supply chain run more efficiently
Supply chain management remains very challenging. Demand is still unpredictable, which makes supply chain planning hard as logistics difficulties and materials shortages persist. Yet similar improvements in efficiency and control are possible across the supply chain with the right digital tools.
BSM can help companies navigate this by modeling the trade-off between cost and risk in supply chain design. Using a digital twin of the supply chain landscape, for example, can improve resilience, optimize logistics, and improve inventory management. Enabling better collaboration between supply chain and procurement ensures that orders are filled, and any changes are quickly implemented. Coupa’s Supplier Portal adds another level to this collaboration by connecting purchasing organizations with a growing global community of suppliers on one platform.
Again, automation is the key driver of efficiency improvements across the supply chain. A high level of automation — notably in purchase order and invoice processing — takes cost out of supply chain processes, helps build transparency and trust with suppliers, and provides opportunities to improve working capital and cash flow, such as through flexible and individualized early payment terms.
Accelerate your digital transformation with Coupa and Accenture
The disruption of the last couple of years has shown that incremental change is no longer enough, and the need for radical digital transformation is now a given. Clients want a fast and effective way of harnessing the right technology to deliver speed to value, cost savings, and greater efficiency across the entire organization.
By viewing each transformation through an industry lens, we’re able to provide a 95% solution fit to rapidly infuse proven industry best practices and deliver fast results. We call this “compressed transformation,” a strategy that looks across the entire enterprise’s operations, chooses a single, connected approach to transformation, reimagines the business end-to-end, and harnesses the right technology platforms to deliver best practices at speed. Given the magnitude and complexity of imminent ERP decisions, compressed transformation is the best route to achieving an agile model. The procurement-driven financial transformation requires ERP to be more consumable and rationalized so that technology and process space is provided for digital and value-centric outcomes.
Interoperability between platforms is essential, and as a Coupa Global Elite Partner we use its cloud-based, AI-powered Business Spend Management platform to bring procurement, supply chain, and finance teams together to transform how direct and indirect costs are managed. A truly multi-tenant SaaS solution, it provides a stable, simple to use no-code platform with high user adoption that drives rapid value and can help clients reduce operating costs by 20–50%.
So, investing in an effective BSM platform can give CFOs the opportunity and visibility to understand how resources are being used across the company, and apply precision tools — not blunt instruments — to contain costs and improve cash flow, margins, and profits to drive the business forward in challenging times.

A Muslim Democrat running for a Nevada seat in the U.S. House of Representatives apparently received some stunning advice during a private meeting with retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid: “You should not run for this office” because “a Muslim cannot win this race.”
According to an article by David Farenthold, who covers Congress for the Washington Post, Jesse Sbaih — an immigrant from Jordan who is now a trial lawyer — was seeking Reid’s support in his first run for political office in a district that includes a swath of suburban Las Vegas.
The candidate stated that he wanted the minority leader’s blessing, which is “a key factor in Nevada, where Reid is the unquestioned power broker of Democratic politics,” the Post reporter noted. “But Reid would not give it,” Sbaih said, and “cited his religion as one reason why.”
“I did not feel that this was an issue,” Sbaih explained. “My campaign is about me being an American.”
The candidate said he had never faced this kind of opposition before: “I just turned 40. Been in this country for 29 years. And it’s just absolutely shocking that this occurred.”
Kristen Orthman, a spokeswoman for the minority leader, “confirmed that the meeting took place,” Farenthold noted. “However, she categorically denied” that the retiring senator “had said those words” or “cited Sbaih’s religion as a reason he would not succeed.”

The Heart Of Istanbul’s Transportations
A mass rapid transit terminus is located underground at the Yenikapi Transfer Center. The extensive excavations required for the project caused a delay in development. The new Yenikapi terminal serves as an interchange for the Ataturk Airport metro (M1), Istanbul Metro (M2), and the new Marmaray railway link, which connects Istanbul's Asian and European sides via a new tunnel under the Bosphorus.
Yenikapi, one of Istanbul's major ports that connects the two sides of the city via ferry lines, should also be mentioned.
Archaeology In Yenikapi
It has been discovered that Istanbul's history is older than previously believed thanks to the excavations at the Yenikapi Marmaray site.
In addition to the 8000-year-old bones that were discovered, further burials have come to light as a result of ongoing excavations. The burials show us that Istanbul was once the site of the oldest Stone Age settlements. The digs have turned up 34 sunken ships from the seventh and eleventh centuries in addition to remains. The Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Bodrum and Istanbul University now houses the sunken ships.
Some wall ruins were also discovered. When Constantinople was founded by the Byzantines, they are now regarded as the city's initial walls.
Therefore, an international design competition was held in order to create an acceptable urban and architectural design for the archaeological site. Peter Eisenman and Aytac architects were ultimately chosen as the project's winning proposal. The proposal comprises a sizable archaeological museum and an archeo-park.
Things To Do Near YeniKapi
While in Yenikapi, there are a lot of things to do, there are also some intriguing things to check out.
One of the interesting attractions close to Yenikapi is the Suleymaniye Mosque, which is situated on Istanbul's third hill and was built at Suleiman the Magnificent's request and designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan. On three marble panels, the Arabic foundation inscription is etched in Thuluth script above the mosque's north portal. The mosque's interior resembles a square in shape. Semi-domes on either side of the dome, as well as arches with Tympana-filled windows on the north and south, surround it. The mosque boasts beautiful architecture that is worth seeing.
If you enjoy history, you might also want to check out the Hagia Sophia and the Sultanahmet neighborhood. Hagia Sophia was formerly the Patriarchal Cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Christian faith, and it is now a museum. The construction of the walls of Hagia Sophia actually weakened the overall structure, whereas the minarets were an Ottoman addition and not a part of the original Byzantine design; they were constructed for notification of invitations to prayers and announcements. The dome design stabilizes the dome and the surrounding walls and arches.
Following your tour of the Hagia Sophia's interior, you can stroll along the surrounding paths, sit in the gardens, and enjoy a lovely view of the neighborhood.
If you're looking for a place to shop close to Yenikapi, you might wish to visit the Spice Bazaar in Eminonu to look for spices or old items. Additionally, there is the renowned Mehmet Efendi Kahveci, one of Istanbul's oldest coffee houses, which is known for its delicious Turkish coffee and freshly ground coffee beans. Inside, you can see the employees making your coffee while receiving first-rate service

David A. Siebert
David A Siebert has a very diverse background, having lived in several nations and most states within the United States. He has been an avid writer most of his life although he has not sought to be published until recently. Many poems he wrote several years ago have been available on poetry.com, but this is only a small sampling of one facet of his writing outlets. He has written short stories, children’s books and other novels that have gone unpublished.
David spent a few years in the Army stationed in Germany before returning to the US and working in many career fields. He has started several companies in the construction industry as well as entertainment fields including hosting karaoke shows. The vast knowledge base he has gained through these efforts has provided a wealth of character types from which he can base short stories and novels. His belief in the intricacies of human nature tends to lead his stories in directions counter to most other popular writers.
David began writing as a teen and considered becoming a novelist concentrating most of his early efforts on science fiction works he shared predominantly with friends and teachers. Through life experiences he gained knowledge of other subjects that became far more interesting and changed not only his mind about writing science fiction, but also his style of writing. His current novel, THE COMMANDMENT is the culmination of these changes and is, as much as the author, a deep piece of work that challenges the mind without overpowering.

Even though a rather disappointing 25 pairs entered, the games were hotly contested. The teams of league leaders the Labour club A were knocked out in the third round along with the Britannia and Pencoed Rugby Club but Julie Spallek of Pencoed Rugby Club hit a bull out before going out.
One semi-final game was played between Pat Hatter and Sylvia Pearce, of Pencoed Social A, against Helen Hillier and Sarah Whitehead of the Labour Club B and the other was between Jan Davey and Rita Jones, of Pencoed Social A, and Carol Turner and Carol Morgan, of Labour Club B.
Both of the Pencoed Social Club teams were successful and will play against each other in the July final.


Dick Conner Correctional Center to remain locked down
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Department of Corrections is allowing structured movement of inmates at all facilities except Dick Conner Correctional Center in Hominy, Okla., which will remain on lockdown until further notice. No visitation will be held at DCCC but will return to normal at all other facilities this weekend.
During structured movement, correctional officers move small groups of inmates from their pods or cells to allow the use of prison telephones, attend programs, provide outdoor recreation time, and access to dining halls and canteens. These inmates will also have daily, structured access to showers.
Facilities were locked down statewide Friday, May 19, after an inmate died from a stabbing at DCCC. Operations are normal at both female facilities and all community corrections centers.

Make an extra stop on your way home today. Not a pit stop at the neighborhood bar, but a stop at the deli or the grocery store, where they have that luscious looking produce. It may make you healthier: People who like where they buy their produce—they're satisfied with the selection and quality—tend to eat more of it than people who just don't click with their grocery store.
Other ways to ensure you'll eat it:
- Sniff it first. If it doesn't smell fresh, don't purchase it.
- And look for the new "country of origin" stickers. (Yes, we prefer local food in season.)
- When you get it home, eat it quickly. Nutrient content drops over time, even when it's refrigerated...with the exception of dark plums, which might get a little antioxidant boost with short storage. Some fruits hold up better than others—black grapes, apples, oranges and tomatoes (yes, tomatoes are considered fruit)—but it's still best to eat them when they're fresh. And keep them in the crisper. Exposure to light can make some nutrients flee.
Know you won't be home much this week? Stock up on frozen fruits and vegetables. Some high-end chefs have even recently confessed to using frozen here and there (especially brussels sprouts, peas, corn and yellow and red bell pepper strips). And we low-end YOU Docs often use frozen fruit in our berry-blaster smoothies.
Since it's harvested at its peak, frozen produce may have more nutrients than fresh that has been picked early, then shipped and stored. So learn where your neighborhood fruit and vegetable parlor is, and remember the names of the produce masters. You'll find out from them what's fresh and enjoy their expertise in steering you to the best-tasting foods.For more from the YOU Docs, visit RealAge.com.Stop your sugar cravings!

The Harford County community is mourning the loss of Major General Anthony W. Potts, who tragically death on Tuesday night after a single-engine plane crash in Havre de Grace. As news of the incident spread, hearts were heavy with grief for the loss of a remarkable individual who served his country with distinction.
What Happened to MG Anthony Potts?
Harford County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Major General Anthony W. Potts, aged 59, was the pilot and sole casualty in the single-engine plane crash. The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. at a farm in the 3600 block of Old Level Road. Emergency responders, including FAA investigators and Harford County Sheriff’s Office personnel, quickly arrived at the scene to investigate the accident. Details regarding the cause of the crash remain uncertain, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation.
Who is MG Anthony Potts?
Major General Anthony W. Potts was a highly respected United States Army officer with an illustrious career in the military. From June 22, 2022, to June 2023, he served as the Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, and Communications (Tactical). His expertise and leadership were evident during his tenure as the Program Executive Officer for Soldier of the United States Army. He also served as the Deputy Commanding General of the United States Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command and Senior Commander of the Natick Soldier Systems Center. Throughout his service, he made significant contributions to his country and was recognized as a distinguished leader among his peers.
The NTSB has commenced a thorough investigation into the plane crash involving a Piper PA-28 aircraft. An investigator arrived at the crash site on Wednesday to document the scene, examine the aircraft, and interview any potential witnesses. The investigation will also involve reviewing maintenance records, medical history, and flight history related to the aircraft and pilot. Although a preliminary report may be available in about 10-12 business days, the complete NTSB investigation can take 12-24 months to finalize.
Honoring the Legacy of Major General Anthony Potts
The passing of Major General Anthony W. Potts has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and colleagues. As the community grieves, we remember his dedicated service to the nation and his exceptional leadership in the United States Army. Major General Potts’ legacy will continue to inspire generations of military personnel and stand as a testament to the commitment and sacrifice of those who serve in uniform.
In the wake of the tragic plane crash, we extend our deepest condolences to the family of Major General Anthony W. Potts. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time of loss and mourning. As we await the results of the NTSB investigation, let us remember and honor the remarkable contributions of this distinguished military leader, whose legacy will forever be etched in the annals of the United States Army’s history.

The Monarch, 93, will speak at 8pm in what will be only the fourth televised address of her 68-year-reign during times of national crisis and grief.
In her highly-anticipated speech, she will acknowledge the ‘grief’ and the ‘financial difficulties’ faced by many, and the ‘enormous changes’ the country is enduring after two weeks in lockdown.
Her Majesty will commend the UK’s resolve and describe how proud she has been to see Britain pull together, praising frontline staff for their invaluable work.
She will say: ‘I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time.
‘A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.’
The head of the Royal Family will add: ‘I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge.
‘And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any.
‘That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet, good-humoured resolve and of fellow feeling still characterise this country.’
With this weekend predicted to be the warmest of the year so far, the Queen will express her gratitude to those who are following the government’s social distancing rules and staying at home to protect the vulnerable.
Her pre-recorded speech, which will also be shown on the Royal Family’s social media channels, comes as the national death toll rises to 4,313 after 708 people died in 24 hours.
A five-year-old child with underlying health conditions became the UK’s youngest coronavirus victim on Saturday.
Windsor castle’s White Drawing Room was specifically chosen for the speech so that an appropriate distance could be maintained between the Queen and the cameraman who was wearing personal protective equipment.
The broadcast was produced by BBC Studios Events and other staff were in another room connected by speakers.
Queen Elizabeth normally broadcasts a recorded message each year on Christmas Day – but gave a special address after the Queen Mother’s death in 2002, ahead of Diana, Princess of Wales’s funeral in 1997 and about the First Gulf War in 1991.
She has also been known to give speeches in times of celebration, notably to mark her Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
