Essence of Indaba
These reflections on Indaba were initiated by The Most Rev Thabo Makgoba, Archbishop of Cape Town and a member of the Lambeth Conference Design Group. They outline the spirit of Indaba.
Indaba is a Zulu word for a gathering for purposeful discussion. It is both a process and a method of engagement as we listen to one another concerning challenges that face our community and, by extension, the Anglican Communion.
An Indaba first and foremost acknowledges that there are issues that need to be addressed effectively to foster on-going communal living. Originally, in the Zulu context, these might be stock theft or poor service delivery, but in the case of the Anglican Communion it might be questions related to the way we handle the Bible, sexuality, post colonialism, autonomy concerns and our many missional challenges. It is these issues that need to be “brought to the table”.
In Indaba, we must be aware of these challenges (issues) without immediately trying to resolve them one way or the other. We meet and converse, ensuring that everybody has a voice, and contributes (in our case, praying that it might be under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) and that the issues at hand are fully defined and understood by all.
The purpose of the discussion is to find out the deeper convergences that might hold people together in difference, and come to a deeper understanding of the topic or issue discussed. This will be achieved by seeking to understand exactly the thinking behind positions other than my own.
Cautions, Indaba works best when participants do not go into the discussion with a hidden agenda nor a prior solution. When you bring the issues, others add with their own voice and a greater truth is revealed; in the process people grow, learn and understand not only the issue, but each other.
For Indaba to work, Indaba on day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, etc. must be seen as interrelated, even if their themes differ. The whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts.
At the end of each Indaba session the discussion will be summarised, seeking to honour each of the different voices that have been heard. These written summaries will help to shape the communications coming out of the Lambeth Conference.

Being one of the oldest museums in France, the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon was founded in 1787 during the Age of Enlightenment. It is known for its collections in relation with the dukes of Burgundy, for the richness of its encyclopedic collections stretching from Egyptian art to the 20th century as well as the historical interest of the building that holds them, the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy.
The history of the Fine Arts Museum goes back to the creation of the art school by François Devosge in 1766.
His collections, which have been presented within the Museum since 1787, represent the beginnings of the museum's collections. It was initially made up of two rooms, the Statues Room - intended for sculpture, and the Salon Condé - for paintings, which celebrates the glory of the Condés, governors of Burgundy.
It is located in the former palace of the Dukes of Burgundy and in the eastern part of the Palace of the Estates.
The museum opened its doors to the public in 1799 and gradually spread out within the palace being enriched by imperial grants, deposits by the State, donations and legacies.
As one of the largest museums of France, le Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon is known for its rich collections of sculptures, paintings, art objects and various other items from the past.
Those interested in a specific historical age can admire various stunning items from Antiquity, Middle-Age, Renaissance as well as masterpieces stretching from the 17th century to the 21st century.
Among the attractions of the museum, you can find the tombs of Philippe le Hardi and Jean sans Peur, a collection of German and Swiss primitives (the most important in France) and a collection of French paintings, rich in artists dating back to the time of Louis XIV, not forgetting the collection of contemporary art.
The museum also holds extra-European collections, such as ceramic and Islamic glasses, weapons and oriental caskets, ancient ivories of Africa, everyday objects and African ceremonial masks, Chinese, Japanese porcelains, and Korean stoneware, Tibetan and Indian sculptures and pre-Columbian ceramics.
The museum holds a large and varied collection of art:
Lorenzo Lotto, Portrait of a Woman, c.1505.
Titian, The Virgin, the Child, Saint Agnes and Saint John the Baptist, mid-16th c.
Paolo Veronese, The finding of Moses, 1713
Jan Brueghel the Elder, The castle of Mariemont, 1612
Georges de La Tour, The Blower with a lamp, 1649
Giambattista Tiepolo, The Education of the Virgin, c.1720-1722
James Tissot, The Japanese at the bath, 1864
Claude Monet, Etretat the Aval door: fishing boats leaving the harbour, 1885

Lawyer: Driver in crash that killed cyclist thought he hit tree branches
The DuPont Co. manager who killed a bicyclist in Hockessin last year admits he was on the wrong side of the narrow, winding road that night but thought he ran over some tree branches, his lawyer said Monday on the eve of his manslaughter trial.
Gabriel F. Pardo, 45, also had been drinking but was not intoxicated, defense attorney Joseph A. Hurley said, when his 2003 black Audi sedan struck and killed 27-year-old aspiring teacher Phillip A. Bishop on Brackenville Road as he pedaled from his restaurant job about 8:45 p.m. on Sept. 12, 2014.
Hurley’s remarks one day before opening arguments and testimony marked the first detailed disclosure about Pardo’s defense strategy in the fatal crash that drew widespread local media attention.
Pardo’s non-jury trial in Superior Court starts Tuesday morning before Judge Vivian L. Medinilla and will last several days, Hurley said. Prosecutor Sean Lugg plan to call Pardo’s three sons to the witness stand Friday, Hurley said. The boys, who are between the ages of 6 and 11, knew “either by sight or sound” that their father had killed Bishop and that he “failed to immediately stop and render aid,” his indictment said.
Bishop was killed less than a mile from his home in Stuyvesant Hills en route from Greenville’s Purebread Deli, where he was a manager. His death in the grisly crash in an area popular for cyclists galvanized Delaware’s bicycling community to make calls for better protections for riders and greater awareness of their rights to the roadways. Several cyclists plan to ride to the downtown Wilmington courthouse Tuesday and gather outside to honor Bishop’s memory and support his family.
Besides facing a charge of manslaughter, a Class B felony punishable by two to 25 years in prison, Pardo also faces six counts of misdemeanor child endangerment, and charges of leaving the scene of a fatal crash and reckless driving. The manslaughter charge was upgraded from one of criminally negligent homicide after prosecutors reviewed the police case.
Hurley said his client is guilty at most of operating a motor vehicle resulting in a fatality, a misdemeanor punishable by zero to 18 months behind bars. “He did not leave the scene knowing anyone had been hit,” Hurley said.
Prosecutor Sean Lugg would not discuss the case Monday.
Pardo is a regional market and business manager for DuPont Disinfectants, based at the chemical giant’s Chestnut Run headquarters near Greenville. He is free on $50,000 secured bond.
The crash occurred on a Friday evening after Pardo had been drinking and socializing with a woman. But Hurley said “the waiter” who served them would testify that Pardo did not seem impaired and surveillance footage at the Lantana Square Acme in Hockessin would show a steady and seemingly sober Pardo inside before he met the boy’s mother outside to take them for the weekend.
“He would not have gotten the damn kids,” if his ex-wife thought Pardo was under the influence, Hurley said.
On the way to his rented home on Brackenville Road near Ashland Nature Center, Pardo crossed the center line while going around the curve where he struck Bishop, Hurley acknowledged. He said that many drivers do the same on the road because there is no shoulder and a steep hill on the passenger side of the direction he was driving.
Pardo’s arrest warrant said his Audi was on the wrong side of Brackenville when he hit Bishop, who was “lawfully riding his bicycle,” which was equipped with safety lights. He was wearing his helmet with a head lamp, a flashlight and his bike had a rear flashing red marker light.
Pardo did not see the Bishop’s bicycle or any lights signifying that any kind of vehicle was coming up the hill toward him, Hurley said.
“The guy is coming up a hill about 500 yards on an upgrade with a bicycle that is dark in color with him clad in bike colors, Hurley said. The bike “does not have a headlight on it. He has two lights devices. One is a hand-held flashlight and he has a small lamp on his head,” both of which were not pointing in the direction of oncoming traffic so drivers such as Pardo could be alerted.
When he hit Bishop, Pardo thought he “ran over branches,” Hurley said. Upon arriving home, about a quarter-mile away, he called his ex-wife to tell her and get insurance information she had to file a claim for damage to his car. That call to his wife was made within three minutes of a 911 call to police by a passer-by who found the gravely wounded Bishop, Hurley said.
The Audi’s entire front windshield was cracked, its Audi emblem was missing and the car had damage to the passenger side front bumper, grill, hood and roof, the arrest warrant said, and there appeared to be “bodily fluids and hair on the damaged areas of the car.”
The next morning, Pardo’s ex-wife called to tell him that somebody had been killed, Hurley said. Pardo called criminal attorney Thomas A. Foley and then contacted the New Castle County police non-emergency line to say his Audi “hit something” on Brackenville Road the previous night and “wanted police to come check it out to see if he was the person who hit the cyclist,” his arrest warrant said.
Hurley said Pardo has never been in trouble with the law.
“It’s two decent people and a crazy-ass situation,” Hurley said.

As its security is called into question, the Bitcoin may yet prove to serve some game-changing functions.
As the conversation on Bitcoins — the controversial cryptocurrency that has been the center of a number of federal government seizures — continues, the realities of this curiosity continue to steal headlines. After a 15 percent nosedive in the Bitcoin’s exchange value after the FBI seized the Silk Road — a hidden Internet marketplace for illicit goods — the virtual currency hit an all-time exchange high of $358, as of 11 a.m. EST on Friday, as traded at Mt. Gox. This is reflective of consistent growth post-Silk Road.
This growth, in part, is coming from abroad. With BTC China — a newly-developed exchange in mainland China — now accounting for just under 26.5 percent of all Bitcoin trades, and with an expanding base of foreign exchanges, such as Slovenia-based Bitstamp, taking root, Bitcoin demand and value have continued on an upward path that experts are split on calling a bubble or a trend.
“There is absolutely no way to value Bitcoin, which means there is nothing constraining its price other than supply and demand. As long someone new can be convinced to buy Bitcoin, its price can keep rising. Bitcoin prices could literally go to 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 or 1 million per coin, and there would be no way to prove that these prices were ridiculous,” wrote Henry Blodget for Business Insider. “What’s more, even if Bitcoin is a bubble, prices could keep rising for years.”
“I think the Chinese really look to bitcoin as an excellent digital store of value, sort of like the new electronic version of gold,” said Bobby Lee, founder and CEO of BTC China. “The Chinese like the idea of buying bitcoins to allow for deferred gratification from their savings.”
Bitcoins as a campaign financing tool
The positive growth and attractiveness of the Bitcoin has even forced the federal government to draft policies surrounding the currency’s use. In September, attorneys for the Conservative Action Fund PAC asked the Federal Election Commission for a ruling on if and how political candidates and outside groups could use the currency to contribute to campaigns. Due to the inherently anonymous nature of Bitcoins, the currency can be donated to campaigns without a money trail being immediately obvious.
“Bitcoins are a new form of money. Based on the concept that money can be ‘any object, or any sort of record, accepted as payment for goods and services,’ an anonymous creator designed this purely digital currency,” wrote Dan Backer in his request to the FEC. “Bitcoins, designed as ‘electronic cash,’ allow users to make online, peer-to-peer transfers of assets without utilizing a bank or other third party financial institution.
“As increasing numbers of individuals trade in Bitcoin, political parties and candidates also wish to accept and spend this new currency. The Libertarian Party now accepts Bitcoin contributions. Mark Warden, a recently re-elected New Hampshire State Representative, accepted Bitcoins in his recent campaign.’ Two former candidates also set up systems to accept Bitcoin contributions online: Eric Olson, a Libertarian candidate in North Dakota, and Jeremy Hansen, an independent state Senate candidate in Vermont. CAF, a political action committee, wishes to do the same—while complying with all relevant campaign finance regulations.”
“We see a real future for this, especially among libertarian-minded supporters,” Backer concluded.
In a Nov. 7 draft, the FEC ruled that political campaigns can, indeed, receive Bitcoins as campaign contributions, but cannot spend them in that form for campaign activities. Recognizing Bitcoins as an “in-kind” contribution, such as a stock or bond — reflecting a recent Federal Reserve ruling that stated that Bitcoins are not currency subjected to money control rules, as it is applied to end-users — the FEC recognized that the receipt of Bitcoins does not in itself breach any campaign finance limits.
“Because Bitcoins are neither the currency of any country nor negotiable instruments, Bitcoins are not ‘money’ under commission regulations,” the committee concluded. “Therefore, a political committee that receives Bitcoin contributions may not treat them as monetary contributions.”
While the draft still needs the vote of the full commision for it to become official, the possibility of Bitcoins being used as a legal anonymous filter for campaign financing has gave Bitcoins a seemingly undeniable and unexpected ally for its continued use. The value of the Bitcoins must be disclosed when the Bitcoins are exchanged for real capital, but as they would be pooled and randomly distributed by that point, it would be nearly impossible to say where any one Bitcoin came from, and when.
Ghosts from the past
Despite this new demand and popularity, ghosts from the Bitcoin’s past continue to plague it. The introduction of a new Silk Road Marketplace under the helm of a new “Dread Pirate Roberts,” for example, threatens to reignite past associations with the currency and its criminal use. “It is with great joy that I announce the next chapter of our journey,” wrote the administrator of the new site, which has been dubbed “Silk Road 2.0.” Like the old Silk Road, it will sell drugs and other forms of illegal paraphernalia, but will also guarantee Bitcoin deposits to the site and will use a stronger encryption system than its predecessor. “Silk Road has risen from the ashes, and is now ready and waiting for you all to return home.”
This “stunt” not only raises the speculation that Bitcoins are once again funding the criminal underworld — a perception that Bitcoin officials are desperate to shed — questions on who exactly is running “Silk Road 2.0” are leading many to think that this is just a “honeypot” the federal government has set up to track the actual paraphernalia buyers and sellers. These rumors are bolstered by calls from Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, to hold hearings later this month on the use of virtual currencies and strategies to combat black market websites.
“This new website – launched barely a month after Federal agents shut down the original Silk Road — underscores the inescapable reality that technology is dynamic and ever-evolving and that government policy needs to adapt accordingly,” Carper said in a statement Wednesday. “Rather than play ‘whack-a-mole’ with the latest website, currency, or other method criminals are using in an effort to evade the law, we need to develop thoughtful, nimble and sensible federal policies that protect the public without stifling innovation and economic growth. Our committee intends to have that conversation – among others — at our hearing this month on virtual currency.”
“I for one do not trust the new [Silk Road],” wrote one user on the site’s forums. “I just get an eerie feeling from the whole idea of it, right now i will steer clear…only time will tell, i want to dive head first into it, but i want to see it play out for a little bit before i slap down another 500 bucks, an investment i made the day before [Silk Road] was closed.”
Even if “Silk Road 2.0” is legitimate, recent events — including the abrupt announcement that another black market site, Atlantis, is going offline, with all of the Bitcoins saved in its user accounts lost if they were not immediately removed — forced many to reconsider the Bitcoin’s use on the Darknet.
With Silk Road’s alternative, Project Black Flag, folding, with its administrator admitting to stealing the Bitcoins held in the site’s accounts after “panicking” and with Black Market Reloaded, a Silk Road competitor, leaking the site’s source code on the web and possibly compromising the site’s security, many feel that the Darknet procurement trend is over. This spells an uncertain future for the Bitcoin, as its Darknet trade constituted the majority of its usage.
A broken currency
The biggest doubt about the Bitcoin’s future, however, comes from Cornell University, where two computer science researchers have found that the Bitcoin has a flaw so fundamentally grave, it could undermine the entire currency. The problem comes from the process of Bitcoin “mining” — the computer process in which an increasingly complex equation is worked out to form the hashtag that will constitute the Bitcoin. This equation is so intense and time-consuming, however, that it would take an exceptionally powerful computer a long period of time just to make one Bitcoin. This was created as a control on the availability of the currency.
However, a group of “miners” could pool their computers together to “mine” together and create a monopoly over the system. “The problem is intrinsic to the entire way Bitcoin works … a minority group of miners can obtain revenues in excess of their fair share, and grow in number until they reach a majority. When this point is reached, the Bitcoin … is no longer decentralized; the controlling entity can determine who participates in mining and which transactions are committed, and can even roll back transactions at will,” the researchers wrote.
As the researchers pointed out, if the pool grows too large without some type of control from the system, these pools could become the de facto central bank in a decentralized currency — controlling exchange values by increasing or slowing production or by withdrawing Bitcoins from trade.
“Conventional wisdom has long asserted that Bitcoin is secure against groups of colluding miners as long as the majority of the miners are honest,” the researchers continued in a blog post. “Our work shows that this assertion is wrong. We show that, at the moment, any group of nodes employing our attack will succeed in earning an income above their fair share. We also show a new bound that invalidates the honest majority claim: under the best of circumstances, at least 2/3rds of the participating nodes have to be honest to protect against our attack. But achieving this 2/3 bound is going to be difficult in practice.
“The mere possibility that the system can get into a vulnerable state will be an impediment to greater adoption of Bitcoin.”
The future of Bitcoins
All of this begs hard questions about the Bitcoins. In weighing the bad about the currency — including the inherent flaws with its blockchain and in “mining” monopolization, a lost of faith in its use among one of its largest user demographics and a continued rash of Bitcoin thefts — the good must be considered, as well. Increasingly, the Bitcoin is being used as a payment option for small businesses who wish to avoid payment processor charges.
“Bitcoin can be cheaper and faster over commercial payments than PayPal,” said Jerry Brito, senior research fellow at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center. “It’s cheaper than Visa or MasterCard. If you’re a small business merchant and want to accept electronic payments, you first have to apply to join the network—and yes, there’s an application fee. If you get accepted, each swipe of any credit card you take costs you 0.25 cents. In addition, you have to return three to six percent of the sales total to the credit card company. That’s a lot off the bottom line, especially for a small business. With Bitcoin, you don’t need permission to start accepting it. And fees [which go to Bitcoin miners, to help run the network] are less than one percent.”
It is beneficial things like this that make it easy to argue that Bitcoins have a place in the world’s economy — even if that place is as an unusual commodity. Even if the currency was to go bust, the infrastructure built to support it will propel future innovations and bolder experiments.
“Some of the technology advances that have been taking place in the past few years since Bitcoin was embraced can surely be used for a bunch of other things in the future, especially when it come to remittances and other Western Union-like businesses,” said Shakli Khan, a Spotify investor and virtual currency expert.
Regardless if Bitcoins are the next big thing or the next big flop, one thing is certain: they are the future, and the future cannot be ignored.

My expertise is in coaching individuals who are struggling with unexpected life challenges and changes: to discover clarity as well as the courage to push through the tough spaces and make the big decisions, to continue moving toward their dreams and goals.
We often wrestle with the emotional tug of decision making out of fear and anxiety, because we don’t know the outcome of the decisions we make or how we are going to feel as a result. The future is only revealed to us as we go through the process.
We all seek peace and harmony. As we navigate through the challenges in our lives, we need support, encouragement, inspiration and hope that lets us know there is light at the end of the tunnel. We all have an amazing internal potential for success. When given the right kind of support, tools and inspiration, we find that the correct solutions have been within us all along-- We just needed a beacon of light to take the first step.

So, "Gilmore Girls" is coming back, thanks to Netflix. Amy Sherman Palladino has confirmed that the show that aired from 2000 through 2007, will be having four 90-minute revival episodes on Netflix. All of our questions will be answered. Will Lorelai and Luke be together? Where is Rory? Who is she dating now? Are they still eating Pop-tarts and drinking a ton of coffee?
Last year, I watched "Gilmore Girls" on Netflix during my first year of college. It was the perfect show, as I was missing home and my mom. Even though I am from Connecticut, I feel like no matter where you are from, you can still connect with the love of Stars Hollow (which doesn't actually exist in CT, sorry guys). I made my mom watch the show at home, and we were both hooked. When we both finished binging the show, and being disappointed with the ending, my mom and I planned our own "Gilmore Girls" spring break. In honor of the "Gilmore Girls" reunion, plan a "Gilmore Girls" vacation for the upcoming spring break.
As all avid "Gilmore Girls" fans know, Carole King sings the theme song to the show called "Where You Lead, I Will Follow". Every time I hear this song, I think of my mom and my hometown. What some people do not know about this song, is that Carole King produced this specific version for the show with her daughter.
In honor of Carole King, my mom and I, over spring break, saw the Broadway show "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical." This show is about Carole King's life, and how she became so successful. Now "Where You Lead, I Will Follow" is only in the show as an instrumental version, other Carole King songs such as "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Women" and "I Feel The Earth Move." I went into the Broadway show only knowing the "Gilmore Girls" song, but I didn't realize Carole King wrote and sang so many other songs that are so popular. I was also so fortunate to see this show on Broadway, and saw Jessie Mueller (Tony award winner for her performance as Carole King) in her last performance. This show was breathtaking, and now all the songs on the soundtrack have a soft spot in my heart. I highly recommend this show for anyone to see, not just "Gilmore Girl"/Carole King fans.
Now, when I tell you that my mom and I are addicted to coffee, that is an understatement. I think we could match Loralai and Rory in their coffee consumption. So, we had so many coffee dates, it was hard to keep track! (And yes, most of them were at diner's, but none of them were as good as Luke's.)
In addition, my mom and I went to the inn that Amy Sherman Palladino and her husband stayed at, which inspired the Dragonfly Inn. Amy stayed at the Mayflower Inn in the small town of Washington, Connecticut (which is where Stars Hollow is based off, as well). She wrote part of the pilot of the show on the Inn's stationary.
When you walk into the Inn, you automatically get the rustic New England feel. My mom and I pretended we were Rory and Loralai in our hotel room, as we laughed, ate a ton of food, and got great massages. We had dinner by the fireplace in the Inn, and just imagined it was Sookie's cooking that we were eating.
And what would a "Gilmore Girls" weekend be without coffee and cookies for dessert?
It is safe to say this was one of my favorite vacations that I have ever been on. It had so much significance to my mom and I, and we felt like we were living in a TV show. So, to get in the spirit for the "Gilmore Girls" reunion, go visit the Mayflower Inn, or go see "Beautiful," or drink a ton of coffee!

Missional Jesus continues to be opposed; he keeps on walking.
The context is evidently the belief that the Messiah would be accompanied by signs that proved Messiahship.
1. Missional Jesus is opposed to empirical proof being needed to reveal who he was.
2. Missional Jesus reveals that the only sign he cares to give is the “sign of Jonah,” which has been rendered in all sorts of ways — but the most likely one remains what Matthew 12:40 provides: “For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth.”
3. Missional Jesus reveals that his sign is and will be his death and resurrection. These reveal who he was and is and will be.
Matt. 16:1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test Jesus they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then he left them and went away.

These cookies are one of my favorites: they’re classic, and the recipe is my grandmother’s (the recipe card is so loved, I had to squint to interpret it). Chocolate Pixie cookies are just the right combination between a cookie and a brownie. And the powdered sugar on top makes them even more irresistible, and a little bit messy!
1. Preheat oven to 300 F.
2. In a medium sized bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Put the butter and unsweetened chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and melt it in the microwave (heat it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each additional heating). Once it’s melted, stir again to combine, then set aside to cool until lukewarm.
4. In a large bowl, combine sugar and eggs and use a mixer to beat it for one minute. Add chocolate/butter mixture, and mix to combine. Then gradually incorporate the flour mixture.
5. Cover the bowl of cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
6. After dough is chilled, pour powdered sugar into a small bowl. Using a tablespoon, scoop and shape cookie dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place the dough balls onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.
***I must add: this particular recipe can also be altered depending on your taste preferences! My grandma likes to make them with 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts stirred into the dough. Around the holidays, adding 1-2 teaspoons of peppermint extract can add a wonderful flavor as well!
Made with quinoa, whole grains and oats, these healthy cookies are perfect to grab on-the-go! Almonds, cranberries, chocolate chips and coconut add a subtle sweetness. After one bite, your taste buds will be partying.
One of my favorite candy bars is the Heath chocolate covered toffee bar. Heath makes a toffee chip for baking. They are very small and mix well for a well distributed flavor. I took one of my old oatmeal cookie bar recipes and tweaked it to include these chips and also some chocolate chips. They are tasty and crispy and even more so after fully cooling overnight. That is, if they last overnight!
Buttery cookies loaded with chunks of white chocolate and a truckload of roasted macadamia nuts.

The cells that coat the inside of the Fallopian tubes also secrete a nutritious mucous which is responsible for nurturing the embryo in the first days after fertilization. This function is often jeopardized. Another problem is the loss of the end of the Fallopian tubes’ ability to go back to the ovary and "embrace it", making it unable to receive the ova it releases. What we often see are Fallopian tubes that are stuck far away from the ovaries, facing in the opposite direction. The issues can be moderate and simply lead to a further delay in getting pregnant. Unfortunately, the lesions are frequently severe and can completely prevent pregnancy.

Glastonbury has canceled its 2020 edition. It had been due to host 200,000 festival-goers this June, at the predicted peak of the UK’s coronavirus outbreak. Just last week, Kendrick Lamar was named as the third headliner, joining Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift; the festival has not announced whether it intends to book the same headliners for 2021.
“Clearly this was not a course of action we hoped to take for our 50th anniversary event,” Michael and Emily Eavis wrote in a statement, “but following the new government measures announced this week—and in times of such unprecedented uncertainty—this is now our only viable option.” Those who got hold of 2020 tickets have the option to carry them forward for next year’s prospective event. Others will be refunded, according to the statement. Read it below.

A contestant on US reality TV show Wipeout has died after completing an obstacle course.
The man was taken to hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday (local time) and was declared dead at around 7pm, Associated Press reports.
The cause of death has not yet been released although according to TMZ, which first reported the incident, paramedics received a "cardiac arrest call" on Wednesday afternoon.
Sources close to the production told TMZ the man had just finished an obstacle course when he had chest pains and required medical attention. A medic team onsite helped him before paramedics arrived.
Wipeout is a reality TV show where contestants complete extreme obstacle courses often enduring large, dramatic falls along the way.
The show ran from 2008 to 2014 and a reboot is currently being filmed. Filming stopped on Thursday and Friday and is set to stay paused for the next week.
According to Associated Press, all contestants on the show have to pass a medical examination before they compete.
TBS, the US channel behind the reboot, said in a statement they were "devastated" to hear of the man's death.
"Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family."
The man's name is not being released until his family have been notified of the death.

You can now buy avocados at major grocery stores in the USA which have a spray-on plant-derived coating to keep them fresh.
Produce with this Apeel coating stays fresh two to three times longer, which enables more sustainable growing practices, better quality food, and less food waste.
The Apeel company says theirs is the only post-harvest solution that creates an optimal microclimate inside every piece of produce, for extended shelf life and transportability, with reduced reliance on refrigeration and controlled atmosphere.
The Apeel coating keeps moisture inside and oxygen out, which slows the rate of produce spoilage, and supports the plant’s natural abilities to protect against environmental stressors.
Growers using Apeel do not have to harvest before crops are ripe.
They can therefore allow fruits and vegetables to develop full quality, nutrition, flavour, appearance and texture, before they embark on the journey to the grocery store.
Apeel is made of plant-derived lipids and glycerolipids that exist in the peels, seeds, and pulp of the fruits and vegetables we already eat.
Therefore it is edible, safe to eat, and fully compliant with all US Food and Drug Administration regulations.
It is also colourless, odourless, and tasteless.
Apeel is distributed as a powder and mixed with water at the food packaging centre, where it can be applied by spray, dip, or brush-on methods.
Apeel Sciences products can be used on USDA certified organic produce.
The lipids on which Apeel is based are not a source of regulated allergens.
But consumers with a known allergy or sensitivity to a fruit or vegetable should continue to avoid it, whether or not it is an Apeel fruit or vegetable.
Apeel avocados are now available at major US grocery stores.
And it has been proven effective at improving the quality and shelf life of more than two dozen types of fruits and vegetables.
Apeel Sciences was founded in 2012 with a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
James Rogers, CEO of Apeel, won one of the four 2019 YPO Global Innovation Awards, for helping farmers and retailers maintain produce quality, and greatly reduce food, water, and energy waste, from farm to kitchen.
Apeel Sciences has also been recognised by US Rabobank Wholesale for their exceptional contribution to the food and agriculture industry.

John Wall has had a decent start to his UK career, huh?
After an opening three game stretch to be remembered, Andy Katz has named John Wall the national player of the week in his Weekly Watch column:
Wall ushered himself into Kentucky lore with his game-winning shot to beat Miami (Ohio) 72-70 in his first collegiate game. He finished the game with 19 points, shooting 10-of-14 from the free throw line. But Wall didn’t stop there. He scored 21 points in each of Kentucky’s next two games — wins over Sam Houston State and Rider — including 11 assists in the win over the Broncs.
You could see his game develop over the course of the week, even if Kentucky’s defense faded. Wall committed a combined 11 turnovers in his first two games, but had only two in the win over Rider. The Wildcats won all three of their games last week and Wall was a major player in each of them.
Teammate DeMarcus Cousins joined him as another honoree:
DeMarcus Cousins, Fr., F, Kentucky: Yes, one of those other freshmen faces on the Wildcats made himself known this week with 27 points and 18 boards in the Wildcats’ close call against Sam Houston State. He followed it up with 18 points, six rebounds and five blocks in UK’s win over Rider.
Oh yeah, and while we’re on the subject of stand out performances by Wildcats, Sam Maxwell has been named SEC Defensive Player of the Week for his showing against Georgia in which he made a career high 11 tackles and the game sealing interception.
It has been a joy to watch Maxwell step up during his senior year, getting his first chance to start. All the kid has done is make plays, and in the process has likely earned himself a chance at the next level.

A day after delivering what is being hailed as one of the best live performances of all time at the 2011 Billboard Awards, Beyoncé returned to sing Run The World (Girls) in front of 13,000 fans on Oprah’s highly publicised farewell episode.
The superstar delivered another brilliant rendition of her love-it-or-hate-it female empowerment anthem, which continues its steady rise on iTunes after initially being written off by many as a Not Myself Tonight sized flop.
Bey began the performance by declaring “Oprah, we can run the world!” before busting out the superhuman choreography that left viewers stunned at the Billboard Awards.
The highlight was definitely when the diva handed out diplomas to her female dancers in a mock all-girl graduation ceremony – to the delight of Oprah and celebrity guests like Tom Cruise.
After delivering two killer performances at high profile events, Beyoncé’s 4 campaign appears to be back on track.
Is Run The World (Girls) the ultimate grower or should Mrs Carter move on to single number two?

Soil invertebrate organisms are responsible for several biochemical processes indispensable for the correct functioning of ecosystems. Because of the high diversity of animals that occurs in the soil environment, some invertebrates such as earthworms and nematodes are highly important in trophic chains, with high number of species and the effect that they exert on both natural and agricultural systems. However, although numerous studies have evaluated the implications of these organisms in soil processes and their consequences on crop productivity, the interaction between earthworms and nematodes has received little attention in recent years. This chapter reviews studies focusing on the elucidation of the interaction between earthworms and nematodes in diverse situations in which they occur, for example, the vermicompost process and the native and agricultural systems. Several studies have shown that the direct and/or indirect action of earthworms can highly modify nematode populations. In addition, in the presence of earthworms, the damage caused by phytonematodes can be reduced in some crops.
- biological control
- plant growth
- plant parasitic nematode
- soil food web
The first studies on earthworms were initiated by Darwin, with the classic “The Formation of Vegetable Mold through the Action of Worms, with observations on their Habits” . Since then, thousands of studies related to the biology and ecology of earthworms have been performed worldwide. However, even in ancient Rome, these invertebrates had already attracted the attention of Aristotle, who described them as “the intestines of the earth” in 340BC .
At present, the importance of earthworms for the functioning of natural and agricultural ecosystems is recognized [3, 4, 5, 6]. These organisms can influence the growth of plants via several mechanisms, which were described by Edwards  and Scheu , such as increasing soil organic matter mineralization; modifications of soil porosity and aggregation that change the availability of water and oxygen to plants; production of plant growth regulators via the stimulation of microbial activity; pest and parasite control; and stimulation of symbiotic microorganisms.
However, the benefits mediated by these organisms in the soils led to erroneous interpretations, mainly because of their high diversity; there are about 3500 earthworm species described worldwide, with potential of more than 7000 species [8, 9, 10]. In addition, also it is high the diversity of earthworms occurring in an area with natural vegetation or agricultural system. This has already been noted by Steffen et al. , who identified about 56 earthworm species in natural and agricultural ecosystems, of which 26 were native and 30 exotic, belonging to six families. In addition, the greatest diversity of these species was related to the type of ecosystem evaluated: their richness is greater in areas of forest fragments and native fields. Brown et al.  evaluated earthworm populations in different land use systems and observed high earthworm abundance in conservation systems with values ranging from 116 to 179 ind. m−2 in no-tillage and minimum tillage, respectively. The authors suggested that the greater presence of these organisms can be attributed to the lack of soil management in no-tillage, promoting the accumulation of organic material on the soil surface, and small mechanical movement, benefiting the community of these organisms. In addition to the effect of management on earthworm populations, Tanck et al.  found seasonality effects in the communities of Amynthas spp. (exotic earthworm) under no-tillage and native forests, with densities of about 170 and 93 ind m−2 and biomass of 50 and 65 g m−2, respectively.
The remarkable diversity of earthworm species can be divided into three distinct ecological categories: epigeic, anecic, and endogeic . Epigeic earthworms comprise animals living on the soil surface, by using the litter and organic horizons as habitat, feeding on organic materials at the beginning of the decomposition process, and incapable of digging galleries in the soil; they are normally used in vermicompost processes. Conversely, endogeic species live in greater depths of soil; are geophageous, taking from the soil the food necessary for their survival; and include most of the earthworms described. The anecic earthworms are organisms that live in the soil-surface interface and are considered the most active of the three categories mentioned above .
These ecological categories are based on the environments in which earthworms live, ingesting and transporting organic and mineral particles at different distances horizontally and vertically in the soil profile [16, 17, 18]. Because of their size and dietary habits, earthworms also unintentionally ingest a large diversity of organisms, ranging from microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi to small animals such as nematodes [15, 19, 20].
Nematodes are highly representative invertebrates in soils, with densities ranging from 106 to 107 m−2 and biomass of up to 100 kg ha−1 . Like earthworms, these organisms also present remarkable ecological diversity, with free-living species—bacteriophages, plant-parasitic, mycophages, omnivores, and predators—responsible for the regulation of several trophic chains in the soil, and parasitic nematodes of plants or animals . Population densities of these animals are of the order of 106 m−2 and can consume up to 800 kg ha−1 of bacteria . However, plant-parasitic nematodes, a group with high agricultural interest, and bacteriophages, nematodes that feed on both pathogenic and saprophytic bacteria and other beneficial species, are the most representative groups in soils .
Considering the small size of free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes, they are inevitably ingested by other organisms, mainly by earthworms . Several studies have attempted to elucidate the interactions between these groups of invertebrates; however, because of the remarkable ecological variability already mentioned, the results have not been consistent, and these interactions have not been clearly defined [26, 27, 28]. Thus, little is known about the effects of earthworms on microbial diversity and soil microfauna .
In this context, a series of studies were performed in order to elucidate the interactions between earthworms and nematodes, as well as the implications of these interactions with other soil organisms and plants in natural and agricultural systems. A simplified version of these interactions is shown in Figure 1.
2. Effects of earthworms on nematode communities
The effects of earthworms on nematode communities (free living or phytonematodes) can be analyzed under four different situations. First, the effects of earthworms on the populations of nematodes during the vermicomposting process of unstabilized organic residues; second, the effects of the products generated by the action of earthworms (vermicompost) or the byproducts (vermicompost tea) as controlling agents of phytonematodes; third, when soil interaction only occurs between worms and nematodes; and fourth, when the interaction of earthworms and phytonematodes occurs in the presence of plants, the latter being more complex, with greater variability of results and thus greater difficulty of interpretation.
2.1. Earthworms and nematodes in vermicomposting process
Because of the high diversity of organisms involved and the ecological complexity of soils, the interactions between earthworms and nematodes have been completely dependent on the particularities of the surveys conducted. Domínguez et al.  evaluated the effects of Eisenia fetida (earthworms worldwide used in vermicomposting) on the population of free-living nematodes (bacteriophages and fungivorous) in cattle manure and sewage sludge. In both substrates, bacteriophage nematode populations were reduced during the evaluated period in the presence of earthworms. However, assessment of the fluctuations in nematode populations revealed that fungivorous communities were more affected by the presence of oligochaetes (Figure 2). The fungi represent one of the main food sources for earthworms, which might explain the greater effect of vermicomposts on fungivorous populations than on bacteriophage populations. Conversely, earthworms can also facilitate the dispersion of these microorganisms by the excretion of their spores in the coprolites . However, the dispersion of nematophagous fungi by earthworms might also be responsible for the reduction of the nematode populations in the substrates evaluated . Monroy et al.  also observed a reduction of bacteriophage populations by the activity of several earthworm species. Kokhia et al.  showed that the changes in nematode communities by earthworms did not occur only at the population level, but rather led to the restructuring of all biodiversity when these invertebrates were present.
The effect of earthworms on nematode populations can be attributed to the direct ingestion and digestion, or reduction by indirect effects . The indirect effect is attributed to the reduction of fungal populations by integrating the diet of the earthworms, thereby reducing communities of fungivorous nematodes .
2.1.1. Vermicomposting and byproducts in the control of nematodes
Although the action of vermicompost earthworms shows the reduction of populations of free-living nematodes, the application of vermicompost in soils has shown to have adverse effects. Arancon et al.  observed a reduction of the communities of plant-parasitic nematodes after the application of vermicompost from different plant materials. However, considering the effect similar to the use of organic compounds in this experiment, the addition of organic materials to the soil was assumed to increase the availability of food for fungivorous and bacteriophage nematodes, increasing the competition between them with other groups. Gabour et al.  also observed this effect of vermicompost application on the populations of the plant-parasitic nematode Rotylenchulus reniformis.
In addition to vermicompost, recent studies have shown that the application of vermicompost tea has the potential to control plant parasitic nematodes. In this sense, Edwards et al.  observed a significant suppression in the number of galls caused by Meloidogyne hapla in tomato crop when the plants were subjected to aerated vermicompost tea (Figure 3).
Mechanisms of nematode control by vermicompost tea are still poorly understood. The effects of this substance are likely caused by the death of nematodes by the release of toxic substances such as hydrogen sulfate, ammonia, and nitrite produced during vermicomposting process ; promotion of the growth of nematode predatory fungi that attack their cysts ; favoring of rhizobacteria that produce toxic enzymes and toxins ; or indirectly by favoring populations of microorganisms, bacteria, and fungi, which serve as food for predatory or omnivorous nematodes, or arthropods such as mites, which are selectively opposed to parasitic nematodes of the plant .
2.2. Earthworms and nematodes in the soils
Poinar  reviewed several works and published a list regarding the natural relationships between oligochaetes and nematodes, with more than 150 nematode citations, also containing a brief summary of the groups of nematodes, mainly endoparasite species, found in earthworms. However, it does not present information on these endoparasites in presence of some tropical earthworm species such as Pontoscolex corethrurus and Amynthas spp. (especially A. gracilis and A. corticis), which are frequently used in studies evaluating the interaction between these organisms [26, 43, 44, 45, 46].
The effects of geophageous earthworms on soil nematodes also differ across studies, and this variability occurs among studies that use the same worm species, which is probably related to the high diversity of these organisms, especially nematodes found in situ. Dash et al.  observed reductions of nematode populations in the soil in the presence of Lampito mauritii, an effect that occurred without the distinction of groups; however, plant-parasitic species were less affected, likely because of the low palatability of this group, which is lower than that of the free life forms. Senapati  also evaluated the effect of L. mauritii on nematode communities, but the results showed an increase in bacteriophage populations and a decrease in plant-parasitic populations, whereas Tao et al.  evaluated effects in the presence of Metaphire guillelmi in field experiments and revealed reduction of all groups of nematodes to the depth of 20 cm.
Studies by Boyer et al.  on P. corethrurus, an exotic earthworm distributed globally in tropical regions, in the laboratory by using sterilized soil showed that this species had the potential to reduce phytonematodes. They suggested that some compounds such as proteolytic enzymes released into the digestive system of earthworms seem to have an antagonistic effect on these invertebrates (Figure 4).
Further, Villenave et al.  evaluated the interaction between nematodes and P. corethrurus and found an increase in the population of soil nematodes, mainly of the plant-parasitic species, in a field experiment. Although these studies differed in the methodological approach, and a greater number of interactions might occur in experiments in which the substrate is not sterilized, a key factor to be observed is the earthworm density that was used in each experiment. Boyer et al.  used a small amount of soil (200 g) and a large number of earthworms, which would represent around 2000 m−2 individuals (up to 20 cm deep). However, in the experiment by Villenave et al. , the densities were approximately 122 earthworms m−2. However, the disagreement in the results of the studies mentioned above was not necessarily an effect of the methodology used, since another factor to be considered in these interactions is the time of coexistence between worms and nematodes, which was 35 and 150 days for [43, 46], respectively. Experiments with Lumbricus rubellus  showed a reduction of the general density of soil nematodes; however, this effect occurred in a pronounced way in the first 60 days, with a reduction of bacteriophages and increase in plant-parasitic species after this period. The interaction between earthworms and nematodes, in addition to being dependent on all the variables already discussed, is also influenced by the presence of plants. Yeates  studied the interaction of these three components and observed the same results as those of Ilieva-Makulec and Makulec . According to Yeates , the positive effect of earthworms on root development also increases the rhizospheric area, which is a highly complex zone in which frequent release of cells, mucilages, exudates, and lysates that contain amino acids, enzymes, proteins, sugars, carbohydrate complexes, alcohols, vitamins, and hormones , thereby increasing the food for microorganisms and thus for nematodes (Figure 5). Räty and Huhta  showed that some abiotic conditions such as soil pH also modify the behavior of earthworms and nematodes in the soil.
The effect of earthworms on the environment are not only restricted to the changes that occur in the soil ingested by these animals. Tiunov et al.  evaluated the populations of nematodes on the walls of the galleries of L. terrestris and found communities of bacteriophage nematodes associated with this environment. Thus, like coprolites, the walls of earthworm galleries are rich in nitrogen compounds that promote the development of microorganisms in these sites, which might also favor the development of nematodes.
In addition to all the results cited above, earthworms can also act as a transport vehicle for these small invertebrates. Shapiro et al.  reported the ability of L. terrestris and A. trapezoides to disperse within the soil Steinernema carpocapsae, the parasitic nematode of over 250 species of insects.
2.3. Interaction between earthworms and nematodes and their effects on plants
Dionísio et al.  evaluated the effect of the inoculation of earthworms P. corethrurus and Amynthas spp. in tomato plants infested with the plant-parasitic species Meloidogyne paranaensis in a greenhouse. Six adult worms of Amynthas spp. or P. corethrurus, isolated or in the same proportion (3, 3), were inoculated in pots containing soil sterilized in a steam oven. After 1 week, tomato seedlings (Rutgers” cultivar) were transplanted into the pots, and 5 mL of a suspension of M. paranaensis containing 5000 eggs and/or juveniles was inoculated per pot. The authors observed a reduction in the number of galls plant per plant after 65 days in the treatments in which the earthworms were inoculated, with reduction varying from 39.2 to 55.2% for Amynthas spp. and P. corethrurus, respectively (Figure 6). Nonetheless, the combination of the two species resulted in the reduction of 50.0% incidence of galls.
The authors indicated that the action of the earthworms occurred probably after the inoculation of the nematodes, because tomato is highly susceptible to attack by nematodes, especially at the seedling stage . Thus, two explanations were presented. First, the earthworms Amynthas spp. and P. corethrurus are epigeic and endogeic, respectively, and ingested a greater (P. corethrurus) or smaller (Amynthas spp.) soil quantity. Further, they might also have ingested eggs/juveniles of M. paranaensis, which might have been destroyed or inactivated in the passage through the digestive system, thereby reducing the possibility of gall formation in plants. Second, the eggshell of M. paranaensis might have been destroyed by the enzymes in the digestive tract of earthworms, mainly chitinase , releasing the larvae inside. Thus, the released larvae remained in the infested state in the tissues, coelom, and hemocele without essential development and, normally, without growth, what is called as paratenosis . Therefore, future experiments are needed to perform parasitological tests of the earthworm tissues to better interpret the results.
Contrary results are cited by Lafont et al.  evaluating the effects of P. corethrurus and Radopholus similis (cave nematodes) on banana plants (Musa acuminata, subgroup Cavendish, ”Grande-Naine”). The study was conducted in a greenhouse by using pots containing soil, which was previously frozen (−20°C) for 2 days to eliminate the native microfauna. The total biomass of inoculated P. corethrurus was 5.0 (g pot−1); 4 weeks later, the plants were inoculated with a R. similis suspension containing 450 eggs. The results showed the absence of the control of nematodes in the soil; however, the plants developed better in the presence of earthworms (Figure 7) and also showed a reduction in the severity of necrosis in the root system. Similar results have also been reported by Loranger-Merciris  by using P. corethrurus in banana plants infected with R. similis, Helicotylenchus multicinctus, and Pratylenchus coffeae.
The reduction of nematode damage in plants in the presence of earthworms was also observed by Demetrio et al. , who evaluated the potential of the earthworm Amynthas spp. in reducing the infection of Meloidogyne javanica (worldwide parasite of tomato crop) as well as the effects of the inoculation of these organisms on some soil biological attributes. Under similar conditions as those used in , different densities of Amynthas spp. were inoculated (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 animals per pot) in the presence of tomato plants, which received a suspension containing 3000 eggs and/or juveniles of M. javanica. At the end of the experiment, the increase in carbon content of the microbial biomass and positive correlation of this attribute with the dry mass of the plants was verified. The results of this experiment showed that the earthworms were not able to reduce the infection of the plant-parasitic species in the tomato roots; however, in the presence of these invertebrates, the damage caused was reduced. Further, a positive correlation was noted between the number of inoculated earthworms and the dry mass of tomato (Figure 8a).
The better development of plants even with the formation of galls in the presence of earthworms can be attributed to several factors: physical changes of the soil by the action of these invertebrates, since galleries formed are normally used by plants as a preferred route for root growth, in addition to facilitate the infiltration of water and oxygen throughout the soil profile . Second, chemical changes, which might increase the availability of P and N mainly, because of the acceleration of nutrient cycling, as well as the continuous deposition of NH4+ by earthworms, both by the production of casts and organo-mineral excrements. These processes could stimulate communities of nitrifying bacteria and growth-regulating-hormone producers, as well as the deposition of mucus-rich nitrogen compounds on the walls of the galleries [7, 47, 48].
The physico-chemical variations promoted by the earthworms alter the biological component of the soil, thereby mainly stimulating the microorganisms (Figure 8b) that can be reflected in the colonization of the roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi . This contributes to the greater absorption of nutrients, mainly phosphorus; the development of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria  such as Pseudomonas spp. fluorescents , which produce siderophores, that is, increase the availability of Fe2+ to plants; or to the production of antibiotics that inhibit the effects caused by clinical and subclinical pathogens . These physicochemical and biological factors can favor the development of plants and compensate for the damage caused by plant-parasitic species in the roots.
The results of these studies showed that earthworms have a remarkable potential to be used as an alternative in the biological control of plant-parasitic species in several crops; however, further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in this process as well as to reveal the interactions with other plants.
3. Final considerations
The complete understanding of the effects of earthworms on nematode communities requires further studies. Considering the studies performed in controlled systems, earthworms seem capable of altering the communities of these invertebrates; however, the effects of other factors such as non-sterilization of the soil and addition of vegetal components could change the number of interactions that exist in this environment, often leading to the generation of contradictory results. The lack of adequate and standardized methodologies for determining the interaction between these organisms and the different habits of life of the nematodes and earthworm species are factors that contribute to the differences found among studies. Nevertheless, this ecological complexity is a part of the soil; therefore, it should be considered in future studies.
Because of the potential to reduce the damage caused by plant-parasitic species, studies with different ecological categories of earthworms need to be performed to understand the interactions occurring in different species and the use of these invertebrates as a tool in the biological control of plant-parasitic nematodes.

„Aesthetic hygiene is necessary for collective societies, for any social group residing together on a large scale. How? By programming environments that obey rigorous aesthetic criteria. Each time the inhabitant walks around in the city, he must bathe in a climate that creates in him a specific feeling of well-being, invoked by the massive presence of aesthetic products in the environment“

Cardi B Celebrity LifeThe American rapper Cardi B was a regular girl who turned into an internet sensation after her videos became popular on Instagram and vine.
She appeared on the VH1 reality TV show Love & Hip Hop: New York as a cast member, and released mixtapes Gangsta Bitch Music Volumes 1 and 2 before signing a label in 2017 with Atlantic Records.
Forbes acknowledges her as one of the most influential Rap artists of all time. Known for her funky lyrics and aggressive choice of words, Cardi B stands as the highest- certified female rapper today.
Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar was born on October 11th, 1992 in Manhattan. She was raised in New York City by her parents who are descents of Dominican, Trinidadian, and Spanish culture.
She got the nickname Cardi B after the rum company Bacardi. Cardi has been a part of the Bloods gangs in her teenage years when she was studying Musical Theater & Technology at Renaissance High School.
Cardi had to work as a stripper when she was nineteen to earn sufficiently and make a decent living. She says it helped her escape domestic violence, poverty and gave her some positivity.
Making her debut in season six of Love & Hip Hop: New York, she joined the cast of the VH1 reality show that got her into the spotlight and thereafter moved on to releasing her album Boom Boom in 2015 with Shaggy, the Jamaican singer.
Later in 2017, she released her first mixed tape Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1 and thereafter moved on to the album that included her single ‘What a Girl Likes’ that promised even better opportunities.
She not only released the second volume of her mixed tape but also cracked a deal with Atlantic Records.
Released in August 2017, Bodak Yellow was her first single debut that became a big hit, It eventually earned the first position on the Billboard Hot 100 and made rap history when it went viral.
She became the first to land her first three entries in the top 10 of the Hot 100.
She was seen in her debut film hustlers, directed by Lorene Scafaria in 2019
National public radio has defined the "Cardi B effect” as a marketing tool to create a brand in a peculiar authenticity; She has used social media to voice her bold opinions and doesn’t hesitate to stand up for what he believes in. T
his is another reason due to which she has high influence over her followers.
Cardi B is a strong believer of God and is a Catholic, she has mentioned her relationship with God and has often said that she finds peace and solace in prayer.
In 2017, she started publicly dating an American rapper Offset. She says it was the best thing that happened to her and says it was a blessing because he has given her the motivation to work harder.
They got engaged in October when Offset proposed to her in a Powerhouse concert. On a show called Saturday Night Live that was telecasted in April 2018, she revealed her pregnancy with Offset.
Later that year she gave birth to her first daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus and announced the breakup with her husband Offset. In 2019, they made a public appearance and accepted an award together.
As of today, the young woman continues to work on her music and Hollywood career while living with her daughter.

This is the shared headstone for my great-grandparents, Volney “Beaureguard” and Mary Wells. They are buried on the family farm, land on which some of my immediate family still lives and works. In fact, the farm has been in the family since 1772 when my earliest known ancestor on that side of the family, Abraham, purchased the land from Thomas Jefferson’s first cousin, George. (Yes, that would be George Jefferson.)
There has been quite a bit of genealogic research conducted on this particular family, but the trails start to cool down in more recent generations with respect to my direct line. I have read that Beaureguard was a traveling minister. He and Mary had ten children.
He also had a pretty nifty mustache.

EDWARD Chambré Hardman’s photographic studios re-open to the public tomorrow.
The National Trust-run house in Rodney Street will host a new exhibition entitled Something Old, Something Blue.
An exquisite 1930s wedding dress belonging to Margaret Hardman will be on show for the first time as a new addition to the current exhibition at the house, Cameras and Camisoles which focuses on Margaret and her glamorous lifestyle.
A lover of theatre and the arts, she was also the driving force behind the Hardmans’ very successful photographic business during the middle of the last century.
Custodian Sarah Jane Langley said: “Margaret was married on 10 August 1932 in a stunning royal blue crepe silk dress with ballet length skirt, puffed sleeves and small belt.
“A small matching cap, long pale gloves and bow detail shoes finished off the outfit. She must have been incredibly slim as the dress, particularly at the waist, is tiny.
The dress has been painstakingly restored by textile conservator Caroline Rendell.
Anyone who had their own wedding photographs taken by Chambré Hardman will get free entry to the house, which is also showcasing Hardman’s letters, his census returns and photographs of him as a boy.
The Hardmans’ House is open from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am-3.30pm. More on 0151-709 6261.

The Martin Auto Museum is located on north Black Canyon Highway right here in Phoenix. President of the museum, Mel Martin, has been in the car business all he life. He started with a garage when he was17, next came a body shop and later an auto auction. In 2005 he started with commercial real estate and in 2008 he bought the 22,000 square ft. building that houses the Auto Museum.
Martin owns 84 cars and rotates the cars on display to keep 60 in the museum on display. The museum has cars form movies, low mileage cars and rare cars. Martin has a Düsseldorf on display, only five were made.
Martin says he buys what he likes and he likes cars that have something unique about them. He has a 1951 Mercedes that was used in Hogan’s Heroes when the prisoners left the camp. He has a beautiful old Cadillac convertible featuring two windshields. The one for the back seat folds down and lifts up so the passengers can enter the car. The car is beautifully maintained.
Another point of interest is a clay model of a car on loan to the museum. The model, according to Martin, will be used to build a new Lincoln someday. He says today all cars being built start with a mockup like the one on display.
Owning a car museum should come as no surprise because Martin has a passion for restoring old cars. But his passion goes a step further. His passion is to create a restoring school to teach the new guys how to restore old cars. Schools often bus in groups of 10-15 students interested in old cars and restoration. His dream would be a school to give them hands on experience restoring cars at a low cost to the students. With his participation in civic organizations, his generosity to the community, his passion and his entrepreneurial spirit he could see his dream come true.
The museum has a lot to see and is both family and event friendly. To find out more, visit www.martinautomuseum.com or check them out at 17641 N. Black Canyon Hwy, Phoenix, AZ.

A drunken resident of Kamchatka crushed her five-month-old daughter to death in her sleep Now a resident of Kamchatka faces up to two years in prison, REN TV reports.
According to the TV channel, the tragedy happened in September. The drunk woman went to bed next to her daughter. In the dream, she rolled over directly onto the child and cut off her breathing. The girl suffocated.
The woman's actions were qualified under the article “Causing death by negligence.” She was also deprived of parental rights in relation to her sons 9 and 11 years old. The court reported that the family lived in unsanitary conditions, and the mother, who was diagnosed with chronic alcoholism, beat the children.
Earlier, in the Ust-Abakan region of the Republic of Khakassia, a boy accidentally shot a three-year-old child in the head while playing. The children ran into the barn where the elder father's air rifle was kept. The boy took the weapon off the wall to examine it closely, and it fired. The youngest child could not be saved.

The day I watched the video of Walter Scott’s murder, I happened upon the most beautiful necklace, made by the supremely talented Canadian, Tracey Tomtene. My remedy for this despair was to listen to the reverent voice of Ms. Maya Angelou’s poem, Still I Rise.
After an initial reaction of disgust, and sadness, I revolted in to the fear of the unknown, wondering how many other black men have been murdered in the senseless way that Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, Vonderrit Myers, Ezell Ford, Eric Garner and too many others have been? How many others didn’t have the benefit of a camera to serve as a reliable witness to the crime?
My new necklace dons Maya Angelou’s famous words: “Still I Rise.” Wearing this necklace is my attempt to honor black men all over the country who continue to get up everyday, and venture out into a world that has criminalized their skin color. The shape of the necklace was important to me, as unlike my circular wedding ring (which symbolizes my never ending love and commitment to my husband), this necklace is triangular. The edges are spiky, and painful to the touch, symbolizing the pointed, obvious racial commonalities these crimes harbor. I chose a hammered finish on the necklace, but am unsure if the indentations from the hammering should signify the beatings black men continue to face by people whose job is to protect, the fragmentation of our nation, or the exhaustion and fatigue these repetitive crimes have caused so many of the still living – like myself. I suppose, as it’s shape reminds me, it could mean all three.
Perhaps these tragedies will wane by the installation of more and more camera’s, both in the hands of nearby Samaritans, and the cops. However, taking a cue from my new #BlackLivesMatter triangular necklace, I am hoping for a more sacred answer. A deeper conviction of character from those who have yet to acknowledge how their own implicit biases undoubtedly affect the way they do their jobs (this applies to all of us!). I wear my necklace in a humble dedication to all the men who are no longer with us and weren’t able to tell their side of the story.
STILL I RISE
You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise.
*** Although this poem is written by a woman, and about women, these first three words lend me to think about the black men who continue to rise up. It is not an oversight or without thought that I’m choosing not to address the many women of color who have also been targeted and criminalized in our recent past. ***
