Marissa Nadler’s fourth album Little Hells is out 3/3 on Kemado. It’s her best, most expansive collection to date, mixing her pristine vocals, guitars, and Wurlitzer with a full band that includes Blonde Redhead drummer Simone Pace, multi-instrumentalist Myles Baer (Black Hole Infinity), and Farmer Dave Scher on lapsteel, synths, and piano. You’ll get an idea of the expanded palette via “River Of Dirt,” which debuts in this week’s Drop. Take a listen. We asked Marissa about the song and she gave us an excellent, thorough response. We ran an excerpt in the ‘Gum Drop, but you can read the entire analysis here:
STEREOGUM: How did you come up with a “River Of Dirt” as the central image in this song? It’s interesting because it feels like both a place we return to when we die, a space of innocence, a utopia (where a certain love existed), and also an escape from the houses with sharp stairs, etc. Can you explain it some? How can we get back to it? Do we have to wait until we expire/run out of time?
MARISSA NADLER: The imagery for the song was written stream of consciousness. It was the first song that I wrote when beginning to write Little Hells. To be honest, I wrote the song with a bottle of wine, sitting on my floor, and I had the melody that just wouldn’t go away. I had the picking going and this droning guitar piece, and then the words arrived. I tried to just let them flow, without being intentional and without censoring any of the thoughts that were coming into my head. The meaning did not clearly present itself until months later. I knew it was more autobiographical, which was a goal for the record. It grew spinning like a wagon wheel, because of the jumping around of time and place. El Camino is a car I always dreamt of having, because I think they are sexy cars. But el Camino also means the road, or the path…
In the beginning of the song, there is a desire to return home, but to a home that doesn’t exist. Words of a desire to revisit a lost place linger. There is an idealized sense in the first stanza that the protagonist, or “I”, would run away with my first love and live this utterly romanticized version of a life together, birds chirping and all, like some freaking children’s book. That doesn’t happen in the song, didn’t happen in real life, and very rarely does. I have stopped romanticizing that fairy tale happy ending that we are force fed in movies and books in our childhood, and the song slowly enters my interpretation of reality by each stanza. I still believe in love, am on the wagon and all, but that is not what the song is about.
The beginning does represent this Utopia, where love is all you need to live. My idea of a Utopia in this song to “ride away and get a circus job” is not about a circus job, but just any life to escape to … There is a strong desire to escape the staircases and white walls. But as the song unravels, things change. The Jester/Elf line reveals that both characters in the song are fooling themselves, and that leaves “me” “sad as the bones stocked upon my shelf.”
The irony is that sonically, it’s quite upbeat …. and with Simone’s drumming, I think of it sometimes as my homage to “Girlfriend In A Coma” because I know, I know, it’s really serious. Seriously. Especially, the chorus being so chirpy in delivery, and the lyrics being quite misanthropic. There is a drum-less version that is more like Julee Cruise-y cruising very very slowly in an El Camino.
“Summer is coming and I can’t believe its true, where are you where is she, I’m turning into you.” I think I was losing my mind when I wrote this. Seasons pass, those feelings don’t go away, and there is the desire to return to home. The river of dirt to me is when we finally mentally, spiritually rest.
I grew up off a highway overpass in suburbia with white walls and sharp stairs. No cottage in the woods, no fairy tale story there with some crazy freight train hopping mythology. I have an amazing family full of creativity and love, but the town was full of homogeneity, however. I always felt a desire to get the fuck out of there. The longing to escape was there then, and I don’t think that ever goes away.
Flashback: Marissa was one of the first ‘Gum Droppers when we started the newsletter 71 weeks ago via “The Whole Is Wide,” which appears on Little Hells in fleshier piano form.
In this week’s Drop, we also offered a change to win a Nokia N96 phone valued at $800 One winner takes home the Nokia N96 phone.

5 incredible National Parks to visit in California
If you’re a nature lover and also like hiking, California is one of the first places you should have in mind when you plan your trip to the United States. Let us give you 5 beautiful reasons:
Yosemite National Park
With more than 3000 square kilometers, Yosemite is one of the greatest reserves of the national parks system. There you can see the biggest redwoods in America and visit the beautiful granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome, carved by massive glaciers around three million years ago.
Also, if you’re a fan of adventure, you would be able to practice hiking, rafting, rock climbing and wildlife watching.
Joshua Tree National Park
Joshua Tree is probably one of the more famous parks in the USA. Named after the magnificent trees that abound in there.
There, you would be mesmerised by the shiny rock formations and the beautiful sky. Also, because of the lack of light pollution, you can see the Milky Way, as you haven’t seen it before.
This park is 125 miles from Los Angeles and offers you about 10 campsites where you can experience the adventure of your lifetime.
Need to rent a car for your trip in California? Know our offices in San Diego and San Francisco.
Death Valley National Park
This desert is well known for its high temperatures that makes life almost impossible but, if you visit it in winter or spring, we are sure you will love it.
This place was known for the presence of gold, which attracted many people in 1800 but nowadays, is famous for its vibrant colors and a wide variety of wildlife.
Devils Postpile National Monument
Located in the Sierra Nevada Mountain, this beautiful land is famous for its huge columns of basalt rock, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.
The geography of Devils Postpile makes it a great place for a hiking adventure, attracting hundreds of hikers per year, looking for the 100 foot Rainbow Waterfalls and the Mammoth Lakes.
In summer, you will also find festivals and many people looking for a nice place to practice swimming.
Channel Islands National Park
Also known as the “America´s Galapagos”, this park is a group of 5 islands located along the coast of Santa Barbara.
Channel Islands is the home of more than 2000 species of flora and fauna, 150 of them only found there.
In summer, you can watch dolphins and humpback and blue whales. Autumn there, is famous for kayaking and diving tours.

Samuel Umtiti is earning headlines on Tuesday with a report that Barcelona are eager to provide the French centre-again this summer time.
Sport report that the club want to carry in a new prime-amount defender and to do that implies waving goodbye to the 26-yr-aged.
Barca are even keen to deliver Umtiti out on loan and have now had lots of fascination in the World Cup winner from clubs in Italy.
Barca are hoping to have Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia as their centre-backs next season, although Umtiti is stated to be reluctant to depart.
There are no delivers but but Napoli, Lazio, Roma and Torino are claimed to be eager, although Barca imagine that Serie A could be a excellent vacation spot because there are a lot less bodily calls for on centre-backs.
Over at Mundo Deportivo the converse is even now about Lautaro Martinez and a report on how the club are scheduling to land the striker from Inter
Lautaro remains the club’s priority and is inclined to consider and force the go if vital by telling Inter he wants to go to Barcelona.
The club are also scheduling to elevate income by advertising gamers this kind of as Jean-Clair Todibo, Rafinha, Ivan Rakitic, Neto, Moussa Wague, Umtiti and Arturo Vidal.
MD also reckon that Inter would be willing to take Barca’s offer you of €70m additionally Junior Firpo, valued at €41m, for Lautaro.

The following is a guest blog post by Justin Campbell, Vice President, Strategy, at Galen Healthcare Solutions.
In this infographic, Galen Healthcare Solutions provides critical information and statistics pertaining to EMR optimization including:
- EMR Market Maturation
- EMR Capital Investment Priorities
- EMR as a Valuable Asset vs Required Repository
- Clinical Optimization Goals & Benefits
- Types of Clinical Optimization
- Clinical Optimization Effort & ROI Matrix
EMR products get widely varying reviews. There is strong support and appreciation for EMRs in some HDOs, where the sentiment exists that the EMR is well-designed, saves time, and supports clinical workflows. That said, in other HDOs, providers using the same EMR complain that EMRs add work, decrease face time with patients and create usability issues and slowdowns. Multiple prompts and clicks in an EMR system impact patients and contribute to physician burnout. The resounding sentiment for these set of providers is that the EMRs are not designed for the way they think and work. Why then the varying response among providers to the same EMR products? Deficient implementations.
Under the pressure of moving ahead to meet the requirements of the Meaningful Use program, most EMRs were implemented using a Big Bang approach, and very rapidly. While this approach may have been the most effective to capture incentives, generic, rapid EMR implementation led to several unintended consequences, resulting in widespread user dissatisfaction. EMRs today serve more as a transactional system of record than a system of engagement. To be used to their full capacity, the different components and modules of the EMR should be evaluated against baseline metrics to harness additional capabilities including clinical decision support, analytics at the point of care, and efficiency of workflow. To realize lasting impact from the EMR, extensive post go-live enhancement and optimization is needed. Leveraging the operational data in the EMR system can support many initiatives to improve workflows, as well as clinical and financial performance. Prioritization of the levers that can be adjusted depends on the HDO’s implementation baseline and strategic goals.
(Click to see larger version of graphic)
A robust EMR optimization strategy can help HDOs realize the promised value from implementation of an EMR. EMR optimization is the driver of strategic value, and can become a sustainable competitive advantage through leadership, innovation and measurement. Success requires a disciplined, data-driven, outcomes-based approach to meet a defined set of objectives.
Gain perspectives from HDO leaders who have successfully navigated EMR clinical optimization and refine your EMR strategy to transform it from a short-term clinical documentation data repository to a long-term asset by downloading our EMR Optimization Whitepaper.

What does it mean to be an "Eclectic" artist?
Over the years I have not found one single style or technique that didn't fascinate me. I have studied and practiced everything out there over the course of many, many years.
My style never stayed within the scope of what I was practicing at the time. Eventually what I saw happening in my work as I was creating was that I was drawing on elements from everything I studied and practiced over the years.
Each piece is created using techniques and styles in a way that mixes these to become what I do and I know no other way to describe it other than eclectic at this point.
There is such freedom in art, freedom to do one thing and freedom to do them all.

Joe Robert Cole’s drama “All Working day and a Night” is a movie about cycles.
The Netflix element film, at the moment streaming throughout the world, features a multigenerational portrait of poisonous masculinity and the means it is perpetuated and bolstered by systemic poverty and oppression.
Ashton Sanders (“Moonlight”) stars as Jahkor, a young guy who attempts and fails to prevent repeating the blunders of his father, J.D. (Jeffrey Wright), whose ecosystem has pressured him to move only survivalist lessons to his son.
“I consider there’s this notion that underserved communities are full of gentlemen who have no curiosity in currently being fathers,” explained Cole, who wrote and directed the film. “But I consider way too typically the situation is someone’s drive to be a mum or dad doesn’t match up with the means or existence applications they have or have to have to treatment for a youngster or a family.”
Cole, a co-author on “Black Panther” generating his element directorial debut, explained the film as “a human tale wrapped in a crime genre aesthetic.”
“The film is impressed by things I’ve witnessed during my existence,” he explained, “folks I’ve fulfilled and put in time with. The final touchpoint for me was listening to about the existence of [a guy] who’d murdered someone I was close to and getting myself sensation sorry for him centered on the dehumanizing and systemic problems that he grew up in and that our modern society casts the poorest among us to live. I set out to make a movie that would humanize someone like him in a way that I hadn’t witnessed.”
A effective, unflinching drama from Black Panther co-author Joe Robert Cole, starring Ashton Sanders (Moonlight), Jeffrey Wright (Westworld), Isaiah John (Snowfall) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Watchmen).
For Wright, who recently starred in the HBO jail drama “OG,” which was shot totally at a highest stability jail outdoors of Indianapolis, the possibility to more the dialogue all over legal justice reform compelled him to indicator on.
“I was struck after speaking to Joe about the character of J.D., the father of a young guy caught up in the cycle of criminality and incarceration,” he explained. “That was a tale that I read [typically] from the gentlemen that I labored with [on ‘OG’]. There have been fathers and sons incarcerated collectively, a number of family associates housed in the exact same correctional facility.
“Almost universally they explained the means in which their households have been shaped by societal pressures and by their fathers, regardless of whether they have been absent or existing. And this was regardless of whether they have been white or black, rural or urban bad. It was so evident to me in listening to them that their fathers experienced a massive impact on their outcome.”
Like Jahkor, J.D. is “limited in his capacity to notice a much better existence for himself,” Wright explained. “He falls into traps that he in convert passes on to his son. He is shaped and misshaped by the pressures of living in an ecosystem that is devoid of constructive and constructive possibilities. This type of intergenerational curse is a pretty real phenomenon.
“There are stats about incarceration in New York that indicates that the the greater part of the incarcerated in this city arrive from a handful of neighborhoods,” Wright explained. “There are individuals who are born into these problems that do much better, but it will become the exception. The means in which the absence of financial possibility, good quality education and health care notify fatherhood was appealing for me to take a look at. It is not to just take the obligation totally off of the personal, but the personal exists in just a set of instances that nurture and condition conduct.”
Early reception to the film’s trailer lamented its depiction of black agony and struggling as a substitute of giving a a lot more hopeful truth or envisioning a way out. “I’m so sick of the only black tales currently being informed currently being our struggling,” go through 1 remark with a lot more than 2,000 likes. “Umm I’ll move thanks,” go through another. “I consider I’ve witnessed adequate films with us currently being portrayed as thugs.”
“I recognize the critique of seeking broader narratives,” Cole explained, “[for the reason that] I was fortunate to be a aspect of crafting ‘Black Panther.’ I feel like frequently individuals from underserved communities really do not get considered or handled in a humane way. My drive was to test to put the viewers in the sneakers of a character that I feel I have not witnessed portrayed [with empathy].”
Wright agreed, indicating: “The examinations of the troubles that we face, carried out intelligently and with humanity and that take a look at formerly unexplored truths, are exceptionally precious. And I will hardly ever make options about what kinds of tales I convey to centered on the reviews on a YouTube trailer.
I will hardly ever make options about what kinds of tales I convey to centered on the reviews on a YouTube trailer.
“For some rationale, individuals see a tale about bad black folks and their awareness is drawn on to people things as while people tales are sucking all of the oxygen out of the room,” he continued. “But there is a assortment of other tales currently being informed. I recognize that we have witnessed an abundance of people films in the earlier most likely, but I consider there is a broadening assortment of tales that are currently being informed now.”
“The previous films that have been the most impactful in depicting a equivalent environment,” Cole explained, “were ‘Boyz N the Hood’ in 1991, ‘Menace II Society’ in 1993 and ‘Clockers’ in 1995. Those films are a lot more than twenty five several years outdated, still lots of of the problems in people underserved communities remain the exact same nowadays. I wished to give an unflinching window into Jahkor’s expertise, the shock and emotion of violence, the suffocating sensation of hopelessness. The little cuts that hardly ever prevent coming.
“This film is truly finding to the human tragedy that I feel is an extension of the legacy of slavery,” he included. “I feel like you can draw a line back again by way of mass incarceration, the war on medications, ‘separate but equivalent,’ by way of Jim Crow and the Fugitive Slave Act and see how every single of people intervals in our country’s record have helped to condition what underserved communities of color are battling below nowadays.
“I consider we frequently look at them as if they’re in a vacuum. All of it is a tragedy, not just when the redeemable character is influenced, but also how the ecosystem itself generates people considered as unredeemable.”

5. Intelligence Inference in IoT Data
IoT in 5G appears to be enjoying two major functional features such as “massive onboarding of IoT Nodes” and also “low latency communication from IoT Node to Cloud Native Applications”
IoT Edge serves as a telemetry system to collect data and transfer it to Cloud-native applications. But in 5G, there is an Edge network introduced in which the latency time is much less to respond to a given Event in an IoT Node. IEEE 21451 is one of the popular standards that have been used for handling the above mentioned IoT Node-based events in the industrial control segment. Further, IEEE is bringing a standard P1451-99 to establish service harmonization.
6. Smart Sensors (IEEE 1451)
“The expansion of smart sensors usage is being hindered by the lack of a universal standard, especially in the wireless region. Recognizing that no single sensor bus or network is likely to dominate in the foreseeable future, the IEEE 1451 set of standards was developed to unify the diverse standards and protocols by providing a base protocol. One feature of the IEEE 1451.0 open standard is that the data and TEDS of all transducers are communicated on the network (Internet) with the same format for all sensors and actuators for both wired and wireless networks. The development of the main parts of the IEEE 1451 standards, including those relating to wireless, have recently been approved. This smart transducer standard is illustrated with several wired and wireless network examples.”
(Reference: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4374241 )
- 21451.0 covers high-level common operations and a general TEDS format
- 21451.1 provides a “…common object model and programming paradigm for smart transducer systems.”
- Both 21451.0 and .1 communicate with the actual sensors and actuators through a number of communications alternatives that I’ll summarize here. Each of these has a TEDS specification.
- 21451.2 provides a point-to-point TIM-to-NCAP connection.
- 21451.3 provides a multi-drop TIM-to-NCAP connection based on HPNA – the home phone protocol.
- 21451.4 provides a special mixed-mode interface for analog sensors that have analog and digital modes.
- 21451.5 deals with wireless interfaces between TIM and NCAP.
- 21451.6 provides a TIM-to-NCAP interface via the CANopen protocol for safety-critical applications
- Ref: https://www.eejournal.com/article/20150504-ieee/
5G network provides an option to plug IEEE 21451 as a part of handling IoT data flow and also associated AI-based applications for modern industrial, healthcare segments, supply chain, and several business verticals. The following diagram provides information on the application layer to the hardware layer. It appears that Openshift actually plays a key role in automating the delivery of workloads on RHEL and associated hardware from Intel and BAREFooT. Mentioned deployment is using a software solution from Kaloom to automate Network related workload. However, Kaloom provides support to User Plane Functions, but there is no provision to handle IoT data such a time sensitivity parameter can be taken care of. The following diagram provides software and hardware used in Leaf or Spine Switch. Tofino is an ASIC processor to perform high-speed packet switching and also P4 language is used to program Tofino. A similar thing is done with FPGA (stratix 10) as well.
The above diagram shows a reference architecture of IEEE 21451 based IoT systems. IEEE 21451 enables the interoperability of smart transducers and enables service harmonization. Another important observation to be made is use of ANSI/IS-95 standard along with the IEEE 21451 family of standards. Further, IEEE 21451 NCAP can interface with a variety of smart transducers (wireless, wireline), and extendable to interface with PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers), OPC-UA element, Modbus etc.
7. IoT Edge Cloud Configuration
P4 language is used to handle workload in Network applications. Kaloom provides contaninter for network applications.
“P4 was first described in a paper entitled “Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors.” P4 allows a programmer to fully arbitrarily define how packets traversing programmable dataplane blocks will be processed. The commonly used term in P4 is a target, which represents a variety of devices—switch, router, Network Interface Card (NIC) inserted into the server, a software switch—which in general can be programmed using P4. ++The great advantage of P4 is that it allows for processing not only standard well-known protocol headers (e.g. Ethernet, IP, TCP, etc.) like traditional switches or routers normally do, but also fully custom ones”
P4 language is used to program Dataplane work which will be handled in CPU or CPU and Tofino or CPU and Stratix 10 FPGA.
8. DLtrain (Edge Native Platform)
Following diagram provides information on the tool set used in each processor. DLtrain is Edge-Native platform that has provision to handle both (compute and network) workloads.
CUDA (SDK 10.2) language is used to program CUDA core in RTX 2070 GPU from Nvidia. Programmers divide work into threads, threads into thread blocks, and thread blocks into grids. The work distributor allocates thread blocks to Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs).
“Using the CUDA Toolkit you can accelerate your C or C++ applications by updating the computationally intensive portions of your code to run on GPUs. To accelerate your applications, you can call functions from drop-in libraries as well as develop custom applications using languages including C, C++.”
gcc and g++ tool set is used to program OpenPower processors. Host OS is Ubuntu 18.04 and Docker image also created CPU alone DLtrain.
DLtrain includes the following I/O configurations.
Inputs: DL Model, Network Model and Data-set
Output: “jjnet” Trained model for Network, “jjnet” Trained model for DL
CPUs: to train NN model CPU is used
GPUs: this is used in training NN Model
ASIC: Tofino will be used to handle Network Workload in real time.
9. Edge-Native to Cloud-Native
Sense: IEEE 21451 std based IoT nodes are used to measure physical processes in real time.
Control:IoT nodes are used to control physical processes in real time.
EMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) – It has a high data throughput of the order of more than 10 Gbps, high system capacity of the order of more than 1000 times that of LTE and a much better spectral efficiency than LTE (3 – 4 times that of LTE). Its use cases are high-speed mobile broadband, virtual reality, augmented reality, gaming, etc.
- URLLS (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Services) – It focuses on low latency, high reliability and high availability aspects. The expectation is of the order of less than 1 millisecond of latency and availability of the order of 99.9999 percent. This is basically for mission-critical use cases and applications.
mMTC (Massive Machine-type Communication) – It aims to provide connectivity to a huge number of devices whose traffic profile is typically a small amount of data (spread) sporadically. So, latency and throughput are not a big concern. The main concern is the optimal power utilization of those devices because they are battery powered and the expectation of battery life is around 10 years or so.
Edge Cloud: Computing, communicating and storing are three major workloads in Edge Native applications in Edge Cloud.
Communicate 2: Edge Native applications in Edge cloud are using a wide area transport network to communicate with Cloud Native applications in Core / Central Cloud. Satellite (LEO) based communication link appears to be emerging as a primary network to carry data from Edge to Core /Central cloud. FTTH (Optical Fiber) might be a good option to provide Robust Link between Edge-Native applications and Core Cloud Native applications. Maybe FTTH can take the form of FTTE (Fiber to the Edge). Existing 4G networks might be an immediate option to provide links between Edge-Native applications and Core Cloud Native applications. In Long run 5G might play some role in this segment as well.
Compute and Store: IBM Watson AI (catalog listed micro service) service is used to carry out intelligence gathering work from collected data of IoT nodes via Edge-Native applications. Cloud Object Storage is used to store data from Edge-Native applications. For example, Visual recognition micro service deployed in IBM cloud and the same can be used by using Android phones. Case study is presented in https://www.jkuse.com/visual-recognition/ibm-watson-vr
Service Access: Cloud Native application provides micro services that can be accessed by using Web application or Smartphone application or by both.

From securing meetings and conventions to promoting Orlando on the world stage, here's your weekly look at what's happening across America's most visited destination.
New Funding Approved to Market, Brand and Sell Orlando
On Tuesday, Orange County leaders made an investment in the future of our community, allocating a higher percentage of visitor-funded revenue to market, brand and sell our destination. Under a plan approved by the Board of County Commissioners, Visit Orlando will receive an incremental percentage from the Tourist Development Tax, a 6% levy placed only on overnight visitors, to reach a larger audience of leisure travelers and convention organizers. The plan also includes increased funding for sports, along with a greater focus on cultural tourism opportunities. Tourism is our region's No. 1 industry, supporting 41% of our local workforce and an economic impact of $70 billion. We greatly appreciate our Orange County leadership's vision to ensure we remain the most visited destination in America.
Mayor Demings Joining Visit Orlando at WTM in London
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings will be joining us in London Nov. 4-6 for World Travel Market, an annual trade show that connects global travel providers and travel trade press with major destinations across the globe. The mayor will meet with tourism and airline executives instrumental in bringing visitors from Orlando's largest overseas market. He'll also hold a press conference with influential media representatives. We're excited about Mayor Demings' participation, as a reinforcement about our community's commitment to this important international market.
Building Relationships that Bring Meetings and Conventions to Orlando
In addition to our branding and marketing efforts, our sales team works closely with top meeting planners to book their events at the Orange County Convention Center and dozens of area hotels. Recently, we partnered with 15 member companies to host two events in Dallas, engaging with nearly 45 of the industry's biggest planners. We also partnered with six members to host 40 decision-makers from top travel associations during a sales mission in Washington, D.C. Through these continuous efforts and vested relationships, each year Visit Orlando is able to bring billions of dollars in economic impact to our destination from these business organizations.
Educating Key Travel Pros in Mexico
Visit Orlando, Aeroméxico and seven member companies conducted a sales mission to Mexico Oct. 14-17, reaching more than 550 travel professionals. Educational events in Mexico City, Merida and Monterrey provided sales tips and a variety of learning platforms on all that is new in Orlando. The mission helped us drive sales with key tour operators and ensure our destination remains top of mind.
Hurricane Dorian Causes Dip in September Hotel Occupancy
Metro Orlando's hotel occupancy for the month of September was 61.6%, down 9% from the same period last year. The prolonged threat of bad weather surrounding Hurricane Dorian impacted many vacationers' travel plans and caused a nearly 20% drop in occupancy the first week of September. In addition, we also saw a decrease in average daily rate for the month, dropping 3.2% to $104.78.
OTHER NEWS FROM VISIT ORLANDO
» Thanks to our public relations team, an article in Travel Pulse featured Orlando's Halloween events and credited us as "Halloween vacation capital of the world." The article was also syndicated on MSN.
» Visit Orlando hosted a dine-and-learn for top planners and clients from HelmsBriscoe Florida, a global leader in meeting site selection. Participants heard updates about what's new in our destination's business travel industry, including the planned expansion of the Orange County Convention Center.
» Visit Orlando partnered with four member companies Oct. 3 to host our first-ever training session in Los Angeles for 20 tour operators that serve markets in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. To help them better sell our destination, attendees learned about Orlando's new attractions and took part in our Orlando Travel Academy.
» Last week, Visit Orlando and the Orange County Convention Center successfully hosted Workday Rising's annual convention. More than 10,000 delegates, including celebrity keynote speakers Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jerry Seinfeld, attended the software company's event, which generated nearly $19.7 million in economic impact for our region.

Zee Media Bureau
Pune: Reaching out to the youths ahead of upcoming general elections, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi while addressing students at Fergusson College on Sunday said that while others are interested in power, he is interested in empowering Indians.
Stating that "there is a big difference between `others` and us", Modi said, "Other people are interested in power. We give priority to empowerment. They want power, we want to empower every citizen of this country."
Modi further said that the country is going through a state of hopelessness which he doesn`t support as he does not endorse negativity and believes in positivity. He stressed that there was a need to modernise India without westernising it.
Taking a dig at UPA government`s ambitious food security programme, Modi said the Centre was under the impression that merely bringing in the Bill would lead to food reaching the needy.
"The government in Delhi thinks that just by bringing in the Food Security Bill, there will be food on your plate," he said.
In an attempt to connect to the young voters, Modi said that his speech is a reflection of the youth of the country which also includes suggestions he received by them through social networking site like Facebook.
Modi emphasised that over 65 per cent of the country`s population comprise youth below 35 years of age who are concerned with the affairs of the country. "While the young generation has lot of talent, they need a proper direction," Modi said.
Commenting on the education scenario, Modi said that since independence, the country is yet to see an education institution that would make a mark in the world.
He cited the example of China and said unlike that country, we are still to have a roadmap. "China changed its education system for good and has now around 32 educational institutions renowned across the world unlike India which only has one. They have allocated 20 per cent of GDP on education while India has mere 4 per cent," Modi said.
Underlining that education plays a crucial role in a nation`s development, Modi said, "If we want to have a good education system, we should create good teachers, which has not been a priority."
"Earlier, education was a man-making mission. Now, it has become a money making mission. Was this our tradition?" he asked.
He further said that it is unfortunate that the research work of the students is not being used for development unlike United States where both are interlinked.
"We need to promote research for progress. We need to nurture talent for nation-building," he said.
He further said that it is unfortunate that India does not have any one friendly neighbour.

The Impact of the Internet on the Growth of Fashion Design
Fashion is an artistic form of self-expression and independence at a certain time and occasion, in a certain context and with a certain style, footwear, clothing, makeup, haircut, and physical body posture. The word simply denotes a style defined by the fashion market as what is currently trending. If one watches TV fashion shows on a daily basis one will see several styles and variations of everyday and formal clothing, shoes, bags and accessories. One day it will be pantsuits, on another it may be dresses or on another day beachwear.
But why does something become fashionable and what distinguishes one style from the next? It is generally agreed that fashion is nothing but the transformation of something into something else in such a way that the former becoming the latest trend. But this definition does not restrict itself to human activities and events. Fashion becomes fashionable when people who wear the clothes in fashion do so for reasons of vanity, to fit in with the prevailing trend, or because they simply love and enjoy wearing them. Thus designers create clothes for the sake of people liking what they produce.
But the transformation of things does not only occur by means of the designer giving us new shapes and forms to clothes and objects. It is also the result of changing personal choices and the cultural and social norms of the people. A common example is the way certain types of shoes were regarded as women’s shoes in certain societies and regions, while in other regions and societies shoes were regarded as men’s shoes. In addition to this certain objects are associated with certain gender roles. A number of designers have tried to address the prejudice and stereotyping against certain groups in the hope of creating ready-to-wear that would cater to their needs and fit into their lifestyles.
Another significant influence on fashion design can be attributed to the modernization of transportation technology. People have become more accustomed to using automobiles, trains, planes and boats and have also come to see these tools as a norm. This in turn has influenced the way fashion designers approach their work. Today a designer may need not necessarily begin his or her design career based on a particular social or cultural context.
It has been noted that the modern fashion trends are often determined by the economic conditions in countries where designer garments are popular. The supply chain in developing countries becomes very complicated because local manufacturers face major difficulties in obtaining raw materials needed to make the products. In this situation, designers of fashion try to use as much of the locally available material as possible. In developing countries, for instance, cotton is considered a very profitable commodity because it is easily grown, highly demanded and can be produced in large quantities. The main problem faced by designers of fashion however is the transportation of cotton from the far corners of the world to the countries where it is required for manufacturing.
The advent of the Internet has also significantly influenced the way FASHION is presented. It has now become possible for even the most remote communities to be able to purchase high quality fashion designer clothing. Online stores have made it possible for even those who live in remote areas to purchase fashionable garments. In many cases this has led to the growth of local designers and the establishment of niche markets which previously had no access to the fashionable garments being sold online.

Sangita Patel is escaping the cold Canadian winter with her daughters. (Photo via Instagramfirstname.lastname@example.org)
Sangita Patel is back on another tropical vacation.
On Wednesday, the 43-year-old took to Instagram to share a sun-kissed photo of herself rocking a black bikini while posing with her two daughters, Ava and Shyla, on a beach. In the post, Patel also included several throwback photos of herself enjoying tropical getaways with her kids over the years.
Th “ET Canada” host explained to her more than 152,000 followers that her family decided to take an impromptu vacation that, unfortunately, didn’t come without a few obstacles.
“Bam, we made it,” the Toronto-born TV personality penned in her caption. “Flight was delayed seven hours, and the airport line up took four hours for bag check. Turned out to be a 13-hour travel day.”
Despite Patel’s travel day not going as smoothly as she anticipated, it was well worth the trouble.
“Through it all, we laughed, made new friends in our misery and our one check-in luggage is still missing, ah well! Our last-minute trip with all the chaos is so worth it. I mean, over the years, these two got me in the water and faced my fear,” Patel wrote.
“Growing up too fast. As for me, more happy lines and officially the shorty.”
In the comments, fans praised Patel for taking her family on a getaway.
“Omg they’re growing so much! Supermodels,” penned Ottawa-born “NBC” host Aliya Jasmine.
“So cute!” one Instagram user commented, while another added, “Enjoy every moment, they grow up way too fast!”
“You three look like sisters!” someone else chimed in.
One person wrote: “You all look fab! Enjoy the break.”
“Adorable,” another added. “Wow, travel is so crazy these days but so, so worth it! Enjoy.”
“Have fun creating great memories,” a fan commented.
Last month, the Canadian television personality took a vacation to Mexico with her husband, Samir Patel, where the pair demonstrated a “mind-blowing” fitness challenge on the beach and shared the footage in an Instagram Reel.
The video began with another couple completing the challenge before segueing to the Patels trying it themselves.
“We got this,” the on-screen text read, as Sangita attempted to jump on her husband’s shoulders. “Umm, maybe not.”
“Shocked,” she added, after finally nailing it.
“Yup, you know I couldn’t leave without a challenge on the beach,” she captioned her post before thanking her fans for sending her the challenge. “Took a few tries and a lot of laughter.”

Marcus Rashford scored the seventh Manchester United hat-trick in the Champions League era as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team thrashed RB Leipzig 5-0 at Old Trafford.
He joins a select few United players to have managed a treble in Europe’s elite club competition (excluding qualifiers). Here’s a closer look at his special night and the others.
Andrew Cole was the first United player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League era when he netted a treble in a 3-1 win against Feyenoord during the 1997/98 group stage.
It was the first year that Cole was able to step out of the shadow of the recently retired Eric Cantona and he went on to score 25 goals in all competitions that season – his best single season tally at the club.
Cole was again on the hat-trick trail when United opened their 2000/01 Champions League campaign against Anderlecht at Old Trafford.
He scored the team’s first, fourth and fifth goals of the night in a comprehensive 5-1 win, which also resulted in him breaking Denis Law’s club record for European Cup goals that had stood for 31 years.
United fans had to wait for Wayne Rooney to make his debut because of injury following his transfer from Everton in the wake of Euro 2004. But when he finally did, it was worth it.
Just 18, Rooney scored a sublime hat-trick in a 6-2 win over Fenerbahce at Old Trafford, showcasing his talents with three very different kinds of goals – a deft finish, one from long-range and a precision free-kick.
Later in the 2004/05 Champions League group stage, Ruud van Nistelrooy bagged a four-goal haul for United against Sparta Prague – surprisingly his only European hat-trick for the club.
Sparta had held United to a 0-0 draw in Prague in the reverse fixture two weeks earlier, but Van Nistelrooy, who scored 150 goals in five seasons at United, made up for that in a 4-1 win.
Michael Owen had an unremarkable three-year spell at United, save for a handful of moments. Aside from that Manchester derby winner, one of those was a Champions League hat-trick against Wolfsburg.
The 3-1 win in Germany, which Owen sealed with two late goals following a first half opener, resulted in United topping their group and knocking Wolfsburg out in the process.
The Champions League offered respite for David Moyes’ United in 2013/14, until a 2-0 loss to Olympiacos in the first leg of the last 16 threatened an embarrassing elimination.
But Robin van Persie came to the rescue in the second leg, scoring all three goals in a decisive 3-0 win that erased the aggregate deficit and put United into the quarter-finals.
Not only did Marcus Rashford scored United’s first Champions League hat-trick in over six and a half years with his treble against RB Leipzig, it was the first United hat-trick scored by a substitute since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got four off the bench against Nottingham Forest in 1999.
It was also Rashford’s first senior hat-trick of his career and marked an important 5-0 win for the club after a tough start to the 2020/21 season.

Class 10 Biology
Green plants prepare their own food. They make food in the presence of sunlight. Sunlight provides energy. carbon dioxide and water are the raw materials. Chloroplast is the site where food is made.
Photosynthesis: The process by which green plants prepare food is called photosynthesis. During this process; the solar energy is converted into chemical energy and carbohydrates are formed. Green leaves are the main sites of photosynthesis. The green portion of the plant contains a pigment chloroplast; which contains chlorophyll. The whole process of photosynthesis can be shown by following equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O ⇨ C6H12O6 + 6O2

A keen observer of the world history may notice a pendulous motion. At one end of the pendulum's swing is the society immersed in crass materialism, Pravritti (literally, action) and at the other end is the society engrossed itself in spirituality, Nivritti (literally, withdrawal).
Histories of both the east and the west seem to follow this trend. Greeks were originally Nivritti oriented. The Greek Pythagorean School was Nivritti oriented but later Epicureans were at the opposite end. Romans believed in active life but later Christianity emerged as a monastic movement with celibate monks and nuns. Martin Luther founded Protestantism to reject Catholic Nivritti. The scientific and industrial revolution of the 18th century can be identified as extreme Pravritti and now we are witnessing the Nivritti-oriented people opposing the extremes of science: atomic bombs, pollution etc. And the society is slowly inclining towards yoga, meditation, etc.
Similarly, India had its own share of these cycles. In the pre-historic times, Vedic India had an active life (Pravritti), and then Upanishadic sages realized and propounded the concepts of renunciation (Nivritti). After that, Krishna preached the balance of Pravritti and Nivritti in the Bhagavad-Gitä, by being active in one's duties but not attached to the results of it.
India's Spiritual Reputation In the era of the Buddha, India was regarded as a pioneer in many fields. India had an economic surplus, political stability and more importantly, a history of spiritual and intellectual innovation. India was viewed as a superpower similar to 21st century America. Buddhism was received with open hearts in other countries in Asia because of its origin in India.

My new book, is Parenting Beyond Pink and Blue: How to Raise Your Kids Free of Gender Stereotypes, is now available pretty much everywhere (even the Kindle version). I have been pleased with the reviews it has gotten so far. If you read it, I would love to hear your thoughts. On Thursday, April 24, I will be discussing the book on Good Day Chicago at 9:45am.
Brown, associate professor of developmental psychology at the University of Kentucky and a Psychology Today blogger, has researched the impact of gender stereotypes on children and teens. Here, she presents her argument to parents, asserting that the differences between boys and girls are far less pronounced than the media and some other authors contend (most notably, Michael Gurian, whose Gurian Institute trains educators to approach the learning styles of boys and girls quite differently). Wading through and interpreting the gender studies, Brown concludes that the way boys and girls learn, play, verbalize, and think is far more similar than dissimilar, though some differences do exist; for instance, boys are more physically aggressive and their brains develop at a slightly slower pace
than girls’. The mother of two girls, Brown urges parents to beware of studies that are flawed and overstated, and to place greater focus on the individual child. As Brown also explores her own feelings as a mother, she is not without humor, sharing for instance, a boy/girl pizza birthday party ambushed by the pizza maker’s unsolicited gender-based comments (“Boys always like pepperoni”). Though her anecdotes and observations can be amusing, Brown’s message is simultaneously a somber and far-reaching commentary on the ways that gender stereotyping needlessly limits and labels children. Agent: Linda Konner, Linda Konner Literary Agency. (Apr.)
Library Journal Review
Brown (developmental psychology, Univ. of Kentucky; Psychology Today, blogger at Beyond Pink and Blue), a leading specialist on the impact of gender stereotypes, offers a review of the latest research combined with a guide to raising children free of the negative influence of gender expectations and limitations. She argues that children are “free to flourish” when gender is deemphasized and covers both the neuroscience and cultural influences of sex in language that is accessible and at times even humorous. Beyond the issues of “pink and blue,” her assertions have a scientific rather than feminist flavor and will enlighten those even of the “boys will be boys” school. VERDICT Much quality literature has been published over the last few years on gender studies, and this title juxtaposes other works such as Leonard Sax’s Why Gender Matters: What Parents and Teachers Need To Know About the Emerging Science of Sex Differences. For all libraries serving parents.
I am always complaining about the lack of gender equality. It irritates me that I have to go into the boys’ aisles to find a tool set for my Maya or Grace. But, I find that this new trend toward gender equality is even more irritating. Now, not only can you buy Legos in pink and purple, but you can also buy a Nerf Gun in pink and purple.
I don’t think this is the kind of equality so many of us want. First, it is still a “Girl” toy, obvious to anyone with the color and models on the box. It still strongly signals to children that only girls should play with this toy (and conversely, that only boys should play with the other Nerf guns).
The toy may be the same, but the segregation remains.
Second, I just don’t want my kids (whether they be boys or girls) to play with guns. I know that makes me sound prudish, but guns are just not an okay toy in a Sandy Hook world. Guns ultimately kill people (even if you think people kill people, it is still people holding guns). Nowadays, those guns are often being wielded by children. Why should I want my daughter to play with a toy that simulates killing? I wouldn’t want my sons to do that. Regardless of people’s opinions about gun control, it seems this type of play and “fun” should be a shrinking trend, not a growing one.
Why don’t we see more “prosocial” toys cross the gender aisle? (God forbid we actually we get rid of the gender aisles). I would love to see dolls marketed to boys. Boys could definitely use more practice care-taking and being nurturing. Or make tool sets available in the girls’ section. I want my daughters to be competent with tools. These are important skills all children should develop. Firing a gun, less so.
A new study shows that marital conflict is a significant source of physiological stress for children. When kids witness their parents argue, their body’s stress response is affected (specifically, their parasympathetic nervous system). This makes it harder for them to pay attention, solve problems, and learn new information.
Take home message: Kids who witness their parents arguing are physically affected by the conflict. This limits their learning potential and cognitive abilities. This supports all of the other research showing how bad it is for kids to watch their parents fight.
My take: Too many parents say they are “staying together for the children.” More evidence that marital conflict is bad for kids. Based on research, divorce is much better than fighting parents. In other words, if you are divorced, don’t feel so bad. Staying married if you fought a lot was much worse for your kids’ emotional and intellectual life. If you are married, be aware that your arguments are affecting your kids. Save the skirmish for after bedtime. And maybe “being right” isn’t so important after all.
(in journal Child Development)
A new study in Journal of Family Issues highlights another way gender stereotypes screw us up. The researchers were looking at what predicted happy marriages (in straight couples). It seems having a wife who is happy with the marriage makes everyone happier. That old saying “happy wife, happy life” seems to be true for men. But what makes wives happier? Having husbands who does chores with them, side-by-side. Liking cleaning the kitchen together, one rinses the dishes off and one loads the dishwasher kind of thing. Also, even more important than doing chores together, is having a husband who spends quality time with the kids. Things like reading a bedtime book or talking to them about their day.
It seems that doing those activities that are often relegated to women (housework and childcare) is the best way for men to have happier marriages. Plus, they get a clean house and close relationships with their kids to boot. A pretty good argument for ditching the idea of “women’s work”.
I am writing the last two chapters of my book (that is due at the publishers May 1). Here is my favorite excerpt from today:
“The power of parenting is in the little moments, usually the moments we don’t mean to be “parenting.” In my own opinion, this is what makes parenting so hard. It would be easy if kids eagerly approached you on your best day, the days you felt rested and relaxed, saying “Mom, Dad, teach me something important so I can live a happy and productive life.” They would soak up your jewels of wisdom. Then they would ignore all the times you were overwhelmed and snapped at your husband for no reason, or the time you yelled at the driver who cut you off on the highway, or the time you were overly anxious when your boss came over, or the time you commented about feeling fat in your jeans in front of your mid-puberty daughter. It would be much easier if kids only paid attention when you wore your “parenting hat” and not when your own worse traits popped up. But, alas, they don’t. They pay attention to it all – the intentional and the accidental. ”
It makes me wish someone would invent a parenting hat I could wear. When I am wearing it, the kids would pay attention. When I take it off, they should ignore me. This would ensure they would pay attention when I wanted them to (which would be impressive by itself), but also they would ignore me when I wanted to steal candy from the candy jar or have a general end-of-week meltdown.

I have been here 2x and everything we get in so good and authentic italian. The pasta is made in a side room of the restaurant, the wait staff is very friendly and of course the food is amazing. The bar area is very small but they seem to get you seated within 15-20 min. so it not a problem. The most memorable dishes are the meatballs and at the butternut squash ravioli.

‘The Accountant’ action movie: fun, laughable film
November 14, 2016
Ben Affleck stars alongside superstars J.K. Simmons and Anna Kendrick in the new action and adventure film The Accountant. In the past year, Ben Affleck has become a mainstream actor after his performance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
He now stars in this newest action film as an extremely talented mathematician who takes jobs as an accountant for criminal organizations. He is also a hired assassin, and a good one. Most say this is a film to shove popcorn in your face, forget about the story and have fun with the action. Directed by Gavin O’Connor, The Accountant was released on Oct. 14. Making only $24 million on opening weekend was a surprise to many even after the less than fantastic reviews by many film critics. The Accountant follows Christian Wolff (Affleck) and his life as an accountant and assassin. When an investigator (Kendrick) gets a little too close for comfort, the accountant is forced to go on the run. However, despite the interesting synopsis, the film critics say the story could have been much better.
Junior Anthony Randazzo said, “I have heard about The Accountant. I hear it is about a super smart guy who is also an assassin, it seems interesting.”
Not everyone who heard the bad reviews was turned off from this film. In fact, some wanted to see it even more. Different tastes call for different opinions which is how The Accountant made as much as it did. The immersive action is truly what saved the film for most people who saw it, if it were not for the action, the reviews could have been even worse.
Stephen Holden of The New York Times said, “Entire backstories were presumably left on the cutting-room floor of this overlong movie that never arrives at a destination.”
Many would agree that The Accountant will not be winning any Oscars. This does not mean that the action is any less than good. Currently, the film holds a 51 percent on Rotten Tomatoes which is not what those involved with the film want to see. An opinion is something that differs among most people, however no one should be afraid to form their own opinion.
Junior Shane Buerkley said, “The Accountant is a great movie because it had a good story and was well made with good actors.”
As it can be seen, opinions range from one end of the spectrum to the other. The Accountant is a good example of how different opinions of the same film can differ. Those who did not enjoy the movie as much as others say that it has no story and the characters are weak. While others say they rather enjoyed the film, saying that the story is not bad, there is excellent action and the characters are pretty good.
The Accountant is not a film that someone should have extremely high expectations for go in. But if someone is looking for a fun Friday night movie to enjoy, then this may just be the perfect movie to do so.


In the Corvette world, there are a few true experts. One of which is Gary Ramadei. He rebuilds rear ends and offers his expertise to all.
While synthetic oils are better than dino in almost all respects, this may be an exception.
Synthetic gear oil will probably work fine in your C3. Most of these cars are hardly driven and not really beat on.
I am running the GM additive and (probably) Valvoline gear oil in my rebuilt Corvette rear.
Here is an article by Gary for your reference:Diff Rebuild

PARAMOUNT GOES DIGITAL WITH tallhotblond
Several days after Paramount surprised the indie world with the announcement of a new division aimed at producing $100,000 micro-budget films, the studio’s Paramount Digital Entertainment (PDE) arm announced the pick-up of Barbara Schroeder’s indie doc, tallhotblond, Best Doc winner at the Seattle Film Festival. The film was repped by New York-based Submarine Entertainment and, reports Jeremy Kay in Screen Daily, the deal “is the first of its kind for the division.” He continues, PDE “will make the film available through download-to-own digital distributors including iTunes and Amazon following the broadcast premiere on MSNBC on December 13.”
“talhotblond is both incredibly compelling and timely,” Keith Quinn, PDE’s senior vice-president of creative development and production, said. “Given that it tackles the hot 21st century issue of online identity and cyber crime, it’s a good fit to make it available to audiences worldwide, especially those who are plugged in to digital distribution.”
Previously, Submarine’s Josh Braun negotiated a MSNBC deal for two other American indie docs, Kurt Kuenne’s Dear Zachary and Dana Nachman & Don Hardy’s Witch Hunt.
In Variety‘s review, Alissa Simon wrote:
“A cautionary tale about the dangers of online identity, twisted true-crimer talhotblond focuses on an Internet love triangle in which one man killed his perceived rival, despite the fact that neither ever met their eponymous correspondent. Low-budget debut feature from L.A.-based multihypenate Barbara Schroeder builds suspense with an ingenious narrative device and solid cutting between multitudes of salacious instant messages and exclusive interviews.”
In the Los Angeles Times piece on Paramount’s new micro-budget division, John Horn wrote, “Not all of the micro-budgeted movies Paramount intends to make will be released theatrically.” With Paramount Digital Entertainment making new media and TV deals for small-scale indie features, it’s obvious that the studio foresees multiple distribution possibilities for these films.
tallhotblond‘s trailer is below:

The countdown is on to the British Compressed Gases Association’s (BCGA’s) 2018 Annual Conference.
Places are limited for the event, which is being held on 19th April at Oulton Hall in Leeds, UK, and will see gas technology take centre stage.
The event includes discussion around the opportunities for hydrogen (H2) fuel celled vehicles (FCEV) with delegates able to hear more about this technology from Jon Hunt, Fleet Marketing Manager for Toyota.
There will also be an opportunity to see a FCEV vehicle first hand, with a Toyota Mirai at the venue.
Safety issues surrounding gas cylinders in the hospitality industry with Amanda Cockton of HSE are also discussed, while Pat Viroux of ProCcare discusses whole-body cryotherapy and whole-body-simulation treatments, which are growing in popularity across the UK.
Matt Hinde, Director of Energy for FleishmanHillard Brussels will also discuss the Brexit situation from an EU perspective.
Media medic and GP Dr Pixie McKenna will be the finale speaker for the 2018 conference. Best known as the presenter of Channel 4’s primetime, BAFTA-winning medical series Embarrassing Bodies’, Pixie has seen every condition imaginable and unimaginable.
Having trained as a doctor and practiced as a GP, she moved into TV to entertain and inform viewers with her experience and knowledge of sexual health, dermatology, women’s health and health promotion.
From Embarrassing Bodies to Health Freaks on Channel 4, Embarrassing Illnesses and Freaky Eaters, Pixie has become the UK guru of ailments and conditions that are somewhat outside the ordinary and will share some of her most memorable stories with delegates.
A full review of BCGA’s 2018 Annual Conference will be published in the June issue of gasworld magazine. Make sure you don’t miss out on all the latest developments and movements by contacting email@example.com.


A tearful Chinese technology giant boss was freed on $7.5m bail in Canada this week – after her lawyer argued recent cancer surgery and an inability to eat solid foods had left her weak.
Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer for the telecoms company Huawei is the founder’s daughter. The 46-year-old had already spent more than a week in a Vancouver prison prior to her bail hearing.
Her bail conditions include Meng agreeing to be under constant surveillance, including wearing a GPS tracking device. She also had to hand in her passports and be at home between 11pm and 6am every day.
In order to afford the $7.5m bail bond the mother-of-four put two homes in Vancouver up – one of which is a mansion worth $16.3. She had been a Canadian citizen until 2009 and continues to return regularly to see her second husband.
Allegations of secret selling to Iran
Meng Wanzhou has been charged with allegedly doing business with Iran via her company Skycom, a subsidiary of Huawei, which is currently the world’s second biggest smartphone manufacturer. In doing so she is said to have violated sanctions of both the American and Canadian governments. The crimes are alleged to have taken place on 2009 and 2014. Meng, who was arrested on December 1, denies the charges.
She will now face another hearing to see whether or not she will be extradited to be put on trial in America. The US must now ask for her extradition within the next 60 days or she will be released. It was the US authorities who asked the Canadian police to detail Meng. Their two-year-long investigation had escalated after they noticed Chinese company executives from Huawei appeared to be avoiding returning to the States and Canada. Meng was arrested as she got off a plane in Vancouver.
Trump doesn’t want to jeopardise relations with China
If she is extradited, the future may not be quite as bleak for the Meng as one would predict – since US President Donald Trump has decided to enter the fray. If it affected national security interests, or helped seal a business deal with China then Trump has already signalled that he would get involved in the case.
He said: “If I think it’s good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made – which is a very important thing – what’s good for national security, I would certainly intervene if I thought it was necessary.”
This is despite the fact that the US president’s Trump’s possible future intervention would come at the expense of one of his major campaign policies – to impose sanctions on Iran over its nuclear arms.
‘Retaliation’ by China sees Canadian disappear
Meanwhile, in a twist to the story, the Chinese government has seemingly retaliated to Meng’s arrest by detaining former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig. The move was condemned by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who was assisted by Kovrig in a visit to Hong Kong two years ago.
Thinktank International Crisis Group, Kovig’s employers, hadn’t heard from him since Tuesday and admitted they were “concerned.”

This “cake” is actually two rounds of brie that are decorated with prosciutto roses! If you’re looking for a way to dress up a traditional cheese board and add a cute twist to a party, this would be perfect!
2 rounds of brie, different sizes
3 slices of prosciutto
3 small spinach leaves
Apricot jam (or honey)
Let's get Cooking...
First, make the prosciutto roses. Slice each slice of prosciutto lengthwise into 3. Roll up one piece tightly. Loosely roll the second piece around the first piece. Using a pair of scissors, make little slices around the edges and fold them outward to look like a rose. Loosely wrap the last piece around the rose and again make little slices to look like petals. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto to make 2 more roses.
Stack the 2 brie rounds on top of each other and arrange 3 small spinach leaves on top. Place the 3 prosciutto roses on top. Spread some apricot jam (or honey) between the two cheese layers. Decorate the edges of the cake with some walnuts and dried cranberries and enjoy!
