Ratings & Reviews
I really liked the pattern, it's a beautiful pair of leggings and I was very excited to get them. However, after doing cardio in it, I didn't think it was breathable like other normal leggings, in terms of the sweat wicking. It also has a certain stiffness which I dislike (I like comfortable leggings). I had bought 3 and the one Hyba Gradient Cropped Legging is better, go get that one! If you do want this one, I would suggest not going down 1 size (I usually go down one size, for Hyba), it's true to size. Only other thing I would add is that the seams are somewhat apparent in the sense that around the hips, the seams are "tighter" whereas usually it would be smooth, unsure how to explain this but it can cause a slight "sausage casing" effect.

N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper arrived on the scene strongly Thursday against efforts to restart payday financing in new york.
Sen. Jerry Tillman, a Republican from Archdale, has filed a bill that will bring the loans right back to your state.
Senate Bill 89, that also lists Republican Sens. Tom Apodaca of Hendersonville and Clark Jenkins of Tarboro as sponsors, enables loans on postdated checks with charges since high as 15 per cent.
Cooper and customer advocates instantly pounced in the make an effort to once once again legalize the payday industry within the state.
here is the exact exact exact exact same rip-off that is old went away from our state years back, Cooper stated in a declaration. These loans that are overpriced borrowers in a period of financial obligation numerous cannot escape. Payday lending ended up being an idea that is bad, as well as its a bad concept now.
their state outlawed payday financing more than about ten years ago. Industry opponents argued that the loans caught individuals in high-interest financial obligation.
underneath the present bill, loan providers might make loans of just as much as $500 as long as 35 times. The financial institution could charge charges of up to 15 % to pay for functional expenses, such as for example maintaining the sign in a safe and maintaining documents.
Chris Kukla, senior counsel for Government Affairs when it comes to Center for Responsible Lending in Durham, stated what the law states has lots of alleged protections which he called meaningless.
an example, Kukla provides: the lending company is meant to inquire of perhaps the debtor has another loan outstanding, but theres no option to confirm. There’s absolutely no penalty regarding the loan provider when they find yourself making that loan to a customer with that loan outstanding.
Payday loan providers proliferated within the state within the late 1990s. After lawmakers outlawed the training in 2001, some turn off while some discovered techniques to keep running. The AG together with state commissioner of banking institutions turn off the final storefront loan provider in 2006. The states payday lending rules have now been organized as being a model for any other states.
final thirty days, areas Bank quit making payday-like loans after being forced by Coopers workplace. The lender had attempted to claim security under federal legislation because its charter just isn’t in new york.
the initial weapon bill you need to take up in a committee this session will make the menu of handgun permit and concealed-carry license holders not any longer a record that is public. A Senate judiciary committee argued the balance along celebration lines before running out of time thursday.
The committee will require up Senate Bill 28 by Sen. Stan Bingham, a Republican from Denton, the next occasion.
Presently, county sheriffs keep listings of permit-holders and deliver the given information towards the State Bureau of research. Press outlets have actually sporadically written tales in what areas of the state have probably the most handguns.
Bingham stated constituents make sure he understands these are typically afraid their domiciles is likely to be broken into if its known whether they’ve firearms in. The bill doesnt affect rifles and other long weapons considering that the state doesnt keep an eye on those tools.
Democrats in the committee asked whether there clearly was any connection that is statistical house burglaries plus the book of handgun licenses. Bingham could perhaps maybe perhaps perhaps maybe maybe not state there was clearly a connection that is proven.
we cant determine if this is certainly a perception of a challenge that will occur online payday OK or whether it’s a problem that is actual stated Sen. Floyd McKissick, a Durham Democrat. Why would anybody break right into an accepted spot with a toolbox?
John Bussian, representing the N.C. Press Association, stated reporters purchased the info to create tales into the general public interest, and called it another federal federal government privacy bill.
Greg Stahl regarding the N.C. Sheriffs Association stated there are lots of true quantity of needs pending for that information from non-news news sources.
Devastating and costly
environmentally friendly Defense Fund is airing tv advertisements in new york to enhance President Barack Obamas environment modification message.
new york is regarded as seven states in addition to District of Columbia where in actuality the adverts will be for the following a couple of weeks. The 15-second spots state weather modification causes more pricey and devastating storms and carbon air air air air pollution leading to more attacks that are asthma. The kicker: offer the presidents technique to reduce weather modification air air pollution.
Its tough to evaluate whether the advertisements will likely make a positive change. The team will never launch how big is the advertisement purchase. The adverts are operating on four Charlotte television channels as well as on a channel that is spanish-language Raleigh.
We strongly offer the Presidents aim of reducing carbon air air air pollution, spokesman Keith Gaby stated in a declaration. This advertising campaign is supposed to demonstrate the US public whats at stake

Thu 23 February 2017, 18:30 – 22:00 GMT
Please join us for our first Walk to Nowhere and Historic Pub Social of the new year. The London Group's Chair, Stephen Bull, will lead a guided walk exploring the lost and hidden byways of Borough High Street. The walk will take in ancient yards and Surrey barns hidden from view, and walk in the footsteps of Charles Dickens around the remains of Marchalsea Prison. Experience the sense of loss of historic fabric to bland development and thoughtless demolition still going on today. See, in contrast, good new development and the creation of the new Flat Iron Square.
The walk will end at The George Inn, a public house established in the medieval period, and rebuilt in a 1677 following a serious fire that destroyed most of medieval Southwark. It is famous as a coaching stop during the 17th century and being mentioned by Dickens in 'Little Dorrit'. This pub is London's only surviving galleried coaching inn and is owned by the National Trust.
We will meet at 6.30pm outside Evans Cycles (6 Tooley St, London SE1 2SY), the nearest station is London Bridge, and finish at the George Inn at about 7.30-8pm. Please feel free to join for the walk or meet us at the pub after.

HARNETT COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Harnett County Sheriff's Office said a man was shot by a deputy early Thursday morning and later died at a local hospital.
A call came in around 12:30 a.m. from family members of someone walking along NC 27 westbound carrying a rifle and suffering from a mental episode, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies responded and found a man in the Johnsonville area near a Dollar General.
Attempts to deescalate the situation were not successful and led to a deputy firing their weapon.
Curtis Roy Young, 40, of Cameron was taken to Womack Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"He was the most gentle, amazing soul that anyone who ever met him ever met," Young's friend Lisa Adams said. "Just sweet, kind, encouraging."
Linda Robinson, who has two kids with Young, said Young struggled with PTSD, anxiety and depression "his whole life."
When asked how law enforcement handled the situation on Thursday, Robinson said they did the best they could.
"The deputies pleaded with him for 20 minutes to drop his weapon, when things turned worse, they acted as they had to," Robinson said. "It's a very sad situation for all involved."
For residents who are familiar with mental health calls in Harnett County, such as Elizabeth Longman, she said the shots fired should not always be a fatal one and called for better outcomes.
"People in Harnett continue to suffer the consequences of poorly trained staff responding and no accountability when something goes dreadfully wrong," Longman said. "It's our loved ones with mental health issues."
Mental health is a concern residents keep bringing up, as demonstrated in a Harnett County meeting in February.
"So I ask when will this county invest in mental health?" one woman said. "I hope that it's soon. mental health issues are increasing, we see it everywhere, I'm seeing it in my practice, we see it with our children, we see it with our community members, we see it in our criminal justice system."
The deputies involved in the shooting were Sergeant J. Knight and Deputy I. Das. Neither was hurt and are on administrative leave which is standard protocol.
Harnett County Sheriff, Wayne Coats, had this to say about the shooting.
"Anytime you lose a life it's a tragedy. You don't want these things to happen, but there is something that triggered this. So one thing is we need to keep this family in prayer and the officers in prayers," he said.
The State Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation

Located near the southern end of New Zealand's South Island,Curio Bay is a coastal embayment best known as the site of a petrified forest some 180 million years old. It also hosts a yellow-eyed penguin colony, arguably the rarest of penguin species, with approximately 1600 breeding pairs in the extant population. The area is home to the endemic Hector's Dolphin, and Southern Right Whales have also been observed offshore. Curio Bay is one of the major attractions in the Catlins.

The now petrified logs, from ancient conifers closely related to modern Kauri and Norfolk Pine, were buried by ancient volcanic mud flows and gradually replaced by silica to produce the fossils now exposed by the sea.

Empowering a Brighter Future
Gaining independence in 2008, the Republic of Kosovo is one of the world’s newest countries. A vibrant democracy, the Government of Kosovo is committed to strengthening the administration and quality of public services and infrastructure. Despite making significant progress in adopting legislation, Kosovo remains one of Europe’s poorest countries with 24.4 percent of its population living under the poverty line. With energy demand outweighing supply, frequent power outages have limited economic growth—hindering investment and disrupting manufacturing, education, and health services.
In 2017, MCC and the Government of Kosovo partnered to implement a $49 million Kosovo Threshold Program, focused on making energy more reliable and piloting approaches for reducing demand for energy; promoting a data-driven, transparent approach in both the economy and governance; and creating progressive synergies with the private sector and civil society.
All photos and video provided by Millennium Foundation Kosovo (MFK).
Kosovo’s primary source of energy remains coal-fired power plants and many households still burn firewood and coal for heating and cooking—generating air pollutants that not only cause respiratory and other health problems, but also accelerate climate change.
Improving energy efficiency is one of the most cost-effective measures countries can take to improve health outcomes, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, and yield cost savings for residents and businesses. Access to reliable and affordable electricity for households is key to energy efficiency in Kosovo, as over 60 percent of the country’s energy consumption is used for residential needs.
MCC in partnership with Kosovo designed the SEEK program (Subsidies for Energy Efficiency in Kosovo), which incentivized people across the country to reduce household energy consumption and lower energy costs by subsidizing the cost of retrofitting houses and apartment buildings with energy efficiency measures, such as improving thermal insulation of walls and roofs and installing energy-efficient water heaters and furnaces.
As a result, approximately 1,700 families in different municipalities across the country saved on their monthly energy bills by retrofitting their homes and apartment buildings to achieve greater energy efficiency. Now, families can be more comfortable in their homes during the wintertime, while also reducing their energy consumption. Even better, the government has data that they can use for the scaling of similar investments going forward.
Additionally, the District Heat Metering Activity is working with the Municipality of Pristina and Termokos, the utility, to convert 17,500 Termokos customers from area-based billing to consumption-based billing. This change will give residents control over their own energy bills, incentivizing them to only use what they need. The savings from household behavior change can be used to further expand the district heating system to new customers.
In addition to changing household energy-saving behaviors, the MCC-Kosovo Threshold program aimed to improve the country’s overall energy landscape by mobilizing the capital and expertise of the private sector. The Green Recovery and Operations Window (GROW) is a strategic partnership between MCC (via the Millennium Foundation Kosovo/MFK, the threshold program implementer in Kosovo), the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), and the Kosovo Credit Guarantee Fund to support small and medium-sized businesses through loans, technical assistance, and streamlined investment guidelines for solar energy projects.
MCC’s economic analysis, conducted in partnership with the Government of Kosovo, showed extremely low labor force participation rates for Kosovan women, potentially hindering economic growth. As a result, the MCC-Kosovo Threshold Program developed strategies needed to address these gender imbalances and ensure Kosovan women were not left behind.
For women entrepreneurs, who may lack the knowledge or finances to implement energy efficiency measures, energy is a significant cost burden—second only to labor. And the country’s energy sector, historically dominated by men, provided an ideal platform for change.
The Women in Energy Program tackled these challenges through a holistic approach to address the barriers preventing women from engaging more fully in their nation’s economy. The Women in Energy Entrepreneurs (WEE) activity engaged academic institutions, the private sector, and local governments to promote greater opportunities for employment of women in Kosovo’s energy sector. WEE supported over 400 women entrepreneurs to invest in energy efficiency machinery, equipment, renewable energy technology, and building-related energy saving measures. Investments supporting women entrepreneurs have encouraged them to grow and expand their businesses locally and internationally.
The Women in Energy Program also established a pipeline for future generations of women leaders in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) by giving 200 young women internships in the energy sector as well as awarding fully funded scholarships to study in STEAM related fields in the United States.
The partnership between MCC and Kosovo also resulted in awareness campaigns designed to encourage women’s economic participation in the energy sector that reached more than 20,000 people in the span of eight days in 2022.
Government transparency is essential to a healthy democracy, and an open data environment fosters trust between investors, citizens, and government leaders at all levels. This not only dispels previous misconceptions, but also leads to productive civic discussions on how to best address a country’s economic and institutional challenges.
The MCC-Kosovo partnership has increased the amount of available data to promote government transparency, accountability and data-driven decision making at all levels of government.
DigData Kosovo—a program focused on four open data initiatives in the areas of energy, employment, air quality, and judicial data—crowdsourced solutions on how open data can better inform government policies. Through open data competitions, the Government of Kosovo welcomed collaboration among the public, civil society, the media, academia, think tanks, the private sector, and civil servants to promote data-driven government policies that align with the needs of the public.
The DigData competitions led to creative problem-solving opportunities, with one awardee finding that demand for energy efficient appliances is low relative to other European countries. As a result, the Ministry of Trade and Industry reduced taxes on imported high-efficiency appliances, benefitting appliance stores, customers, and the awardee. Appliance stores benefit from increased sales, customers save on their appliances and electricity bills, and the awardee receives a portion of the profits.
Kosovo has poor air quality due to its reliance upon coal, and high levels of smog are impacting the health of its people. An Environmental Data Collection Activity supported government institutions involved in environmental protection and health to effectively monitor and report on air quality indicators to a variety of stakeholders, including the public. The activity allowed Kosovans to access continuous and historical air quality data and three-day air quality forecasts online and through a smartphone app. MFK also repaired and modernized 13 air quality sensors located around Kosovo, allowing wireless access to air quality data aligned with the EU Air Quality Index. These components will help Kosovans to make more informed decisions regarding their health and safety and to better consider the air quality around them as they plan their everyday lives.
Surveys indicated a low level of public trust and confidence in Kosovo’s judicial system. A Public Access to Judicial Information Activity responded to this challenge by creating new platforms in partnership with the Kosovo Judicial Council to increase transparency for the people of Kosovo. An open data platform is making anonymized data about case types and outcomes from the judicial sector available publicly, and a case tracking mechanism allows people to track their cases online.
Reliable access to power is a crucial part of modern living and a critical element of poverty alleviation, economic growth, and improved living standards. The MCC-Kosovo Threshold Program has created, in partnership with the Kosovans, a stronger foundation on which the Government of Kosovo can continue to build a more affordable, inclusive, reliable, and sustainable future for its people.
In line with this goal, Kosovo and MCC signed a $202 million compact that will address the reliability of Kosovo’s electricity supply and will continue the country’s energy sector transformation towards one that is more sustainable, inclusive, reliable and affordable.

So the Sultan travels to see the Tsar at the royal seat of St Petersburg. And the Caliph of Damascus will watch from Syria with the conviction that Ba’ath Party policy has once again proved its worth. The policy? Wait. And wait. And wait.
For just as Turkey’s power over Syria – its Pakistan-like role of conduit for Arab Gulf money and arms to the civil war, its smuggling routes to Isis, al-Qaeda (or Jabhat al-Nusra or Fatah el-Sham or whatever) – seemed an overwhelming threat to Damascus, along comes Turkey’s mysterious coup, its army neutered, and Sultan Erdogan scurrying off to St Petersburg to move his country from Nato to Mother Russia.
And all this when the rebel armies in Syria have resurrounded government troops in Aleppo with the aim of reopening their supply routes to Turkey.
For with Russian forces scarcely 30 miles south of the Turkish border, and its pilots daily bombing the very same rebels who are besieging Aleppo, Tsar Putin is not going to tolerate any more missiles smuggled across the Turkish border to shoot down his helicopters.
And if Nato and the EU believe they can rely on their faithful ally Sultan Erdogan to pursue the destruction of the Assad regime or curb refugee flows to Europe – or tolerate US jets flying out of Incirlik airbase and other former Armenian properties in Anatolia – they can think again.
You only have to read the Russian versions of the Sultan’s grovelling statements prior to his Ottoman visit to grasp how the sick man of Europe is breathing in the fresh air of the Steppes.
“This visit seems to me a new milestone in bilateral relations, beginning with a clean slate,” quoth the Sultan, “and I personally, with all my heart and on behalf of the Turkish nation, salute President Putin and all Russians.”
That was Russian television for you. Then take the Russian news agency Tass, through which the Sultan refers to his “friend Vladimir” and promises that “there is yet much for our countries to do together”.
Now let’s abandon the Tsar-Sultan stuff. This was more like the fraternal greetings a Brezhnev or a Podgorny might have expected from an erring member of the Warsaw Pact, full of “bilateral relations” and “salutes” and “friendship” (though not “eternal friendship”, as brotherly nations might once have pledged the Kremlin).
Here’s another line from the Tass version of Erdogan’s pre-St Petersburg declarations: “A solution to the Syrian crisis cannot be found without Russia. We can resolve the Syrian crisis only in cooperation with Russia.”
And in cooperation with Bashar al-Assad? It’s a thought that must warm the heart of Bashar who was once – let us remember this – close family friends with Erdogan and his wife. If you can shoot down a Russian plane and then embrace your “friend” Putin, why could Erdogan not do the same to Bashar all over again?
That’s also, of course, a question for Hillary Clinton and The Donald to ponder – although Donald Trump, who seems to hold the same views about the Tsar as the Sultan now boasts, could possibly live with that.
There is a long list of the potential losers in the theatre of St Petersburg. First, Isis and al-Qaeda-Nusra-Fatah el-Sham, and all the other Islamist outfits now fighting the regime in Syria, who suddenly find that their most reliable arms conduit has teamed up with their most ferocious enemy, the owner of the Russian air force. Then there’s the Saudi and Qatari billionaires who have been supplying the cash and guns for the Sunni warriors who are trying to overthrow both Damascus and Baghdad, and humble the Shia of Iran, Syria (the Alawites) and Lebanon.
And then, above all others perhaps, those who will fear for their lives in the aftermath of this fraternal jaunt to the Tsar’s palace: the Turkish army. For what is becoming ever clearer is that – and this is called the kicker to the story – Russia and, indeed, Iran played an intelligence role in warning Erdogan of the military coup plotted against him.
The Arabs have already been told by their Russian collocutors that Putin, being the old KGB boss that he was, personally sent a message to Erdogan after learning of the coup from Turkish army communications, which were picked up and listened to by Russian technicians at their air base just outside Latakia in Syria.
The Iranians – who would be happy to see Turkey turned against their Sunni Islamist enemies in Syria – also tipped off Erdogan about the coup, so the Arabs have been told.
Not long ago, it seems, it was Hillary who wanted to press the “reset” button with Putin. Now it’s Erdogan – with, one suspects, a lot more effect.
The word “terror” is now used with such promiscuity that it seems to have been invented in the United States. Actually, its first common usage after the French Revolution appears to have been in Moscow where it described the bomb-throwing “terrorists” who were trying to overthrow the Tsar.
So watch out for that word “terrorists” in the communiqués that follow the Sultan-Tsar Summit. The Grand St Petersburg Alliance Against Terror. Terror, terror, terror. If you hear that from Mother Russia in the coming hours, you’ll know that things are going to change in Syria.

Kickoff coverage improves for Rams
Kickoff coverage improves for Rams
By Bill Coats
Of the Post-Dispatch
Thursday, Dec. 02 2004
If there was a positive to be gleaned from the Rams' 45-17 shellacking Monday
night in Green Bay, it was a marked improvement in kick coverage. After a
shake-up in personnel, the Rams yielded an average of 18 yards on four kickoffs
- their best showing of the season.
"Field position is a real important part of the game, and that's what special
teams is all about," said linebacker Drew Wahlroos, who had two tackles on
kickoffs. "It was good to be able to make some stops. But there's always room
Only twice in the previous 10 games had Rams opponents averaged fewer than 20
yards per kickoff return: 19.2 by San Francisco on Oct. 3 and 18.8 by Seattle a
week later. In the five games since then, the Rams had surrendered an average
of 28.1 yards per kickoff.
In addition, the Packers had zero yards on punt returns. That's because
newcomer Kevin Stemke, though he averaged only 30 yards on two punts, had good
hang time and both boots resulted in fair catches inside Green Bay's 20-yard
line. "That's very important, and that's why he's here," coach Mike Martz said.
The week before, the Rams were shredded by Buffalo's returns. The Bills took
one punt 86 yards to the end zone and returned another 53 yards, setting up a
touchdown in a 37-17 victory.
"I really felt terrible personally about the Buffalo game and the way that we
performed on special teams," said linebacker Trev Faulk, who also had two
special-teams tackles vs. the Packers. "We definitely are the unit that brings
the offense and defense together, so we've got to hold up our end of the
Still, the Rams lag badly in league special-teams statistics. Defensively, they
rank 31st in kickoff coverage (24.1 yards) and are tied for 31st in punt
coverage (15.5). Offensively, they're No. 31 in both kickoff returns (18.6
yards) and punt returns (4.0).
Faulk, Bruce get a break from practice
Martz has eliminated - for now, anyway - the midweek live tackling sessions he
instituted last month in an effort to add a physical edge to his team's
attitude. On Thursday, in fact, the Rams practiced without full pads after an
off-day for the first time in four weeks.
"I think they're focused," Martz said. "I don't see the physical aspect of it
being an issue right now. Now, we're kind of getting back to the regular-season
Martz kept running back Marshall Faulk and wide receiver Isaac Bruce on the
sideline. Faulk has a bruised knee, and Martz wants Bruce, an 11-year veteran
who is leading the league in receiving yards (1,026) and is No. 4 in receptions
(67), to remain as fresh as possible. Martz said it's not easy to keep Bruce,
who also is nursing a sore wrist, off the practice field.
"I didn't ask him, because I didn't want to get in that conversation with him,"
Martz said. "I just said, 'You're not practicing. Just put a blanket on and
stay warm. Sorry kid.' He's very, very competitive."
Rams tinker with defensive line
The look of the defensive line, which changed Monday when rookie Brian Howard
started in place of four-year veteran Damione Lewis at tackle, could be in for
Although Howard received strong reviews, Jimmy Kennedy spent the bulk of the
time with the first unit Thursday alongside Ryan Pickett. Martz said no
decision had been made on Sunday's starters.
On the offensive line, rookie Larry Turner shared first-team reps with Tom
Nutten at left guard, and Blaine Saipaia and Grant Williams worked out at right
M. Faulk, A. Williams listed as questionable
Faulk was downgraded to questionable on Thursday's injury report. Guard Chris
Dishman (knee) was listed as out, cornerback DeJuan Groce (knee) as doubtful,
safety Aeneas Williams (neck) as questionable, and safety Adam Archuleta
(back), Bruce and tight end Brandon Manumaleuna (knee) as probable. . . . Rams

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- He only went missing for a moment. Five to eight minutes, at the most, police said.
It was enough time for 20-month-old Dillon Linsley to wander to a dock behind his maternal grandparents' house and slip into the Indian River, police said. His grandparents found him in the water just before 4:40 p.m. Monday.
"One of our officers did give CPR," said police Sgt. R. Sachs. "He's at the hospital, so that's a good thing. . . . I know nothing more than that."
The toddler was taken to Bert Fish Medical Center in New Smyrna Beach in critical condition, EVAC Ambulance spokesman Mark O'Keefe said. Three hours after Dillon was found, a helicopter flew him to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando. He remained in critical condition late Monday.
Neighbors and friends of the family described Dillon as a precocious little boy who loves to play with neighborhood pets or visit his dad's business, Professional Site and Transport, where he could watch dump trucks.
"He's a sweet, active little boy," said neighbor Marilyn Scara, who lives next to Dillon's parents, Colette and Christopher Linsley, on Hannah Jeanne Circle. Dillon's maternal grandparents, Stephen and Gracye Beeman, also live nearby in a house on South Indian River Road that is surrounded by oak trees and has potted plants and wind chimes on the large porch.
A man who answered the phone at the Beeman residence said the family did not wish to talk about what had happened.
"[He] loves to laugh and play," Scara said of Dillon. "God, I just hope he's OK. They're nice people, nice neighbors. We adore them."
While waiting for the boy to be taken to Arnold Palmer, hospital officials at Bert Fish said the toddler was still in critical condition.
A recently released review by a state panel found that 22 children drowned in Florida in 2004, the most recent year for which data was available.
A U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission study reported that drowning is the No. 1 cause of accidental death for children younger than 5 in Florida, Arizona and California. Seventy-seven percent of the victims had been out of sight for five minutes or less, according to the study.
"The family was watching him, but with a 20-month-old it doesn't take long for something to happen," said a family minister, the Rev. Bob Brown of the Coronado Community United Methodist Church. "He's getting excellent medical care, and it's in God's hands."

Is It Safe To Use Sunless Tanners When Pregnant?
Once you’ve reached that wonderful stage of life â€¦ pregnancy â€¦ there are a lot of things you’ll have to forgo in order to ensure the health and growth of your baby. For some women, these represent a small sacrifice, for others, some things are a little tougher to give up.
For women who enjoy that bronzed, sun-kissed look year round, and who have already chosen to avoid the harmful UV rays of the sun and use sunless tanners instead, it’s difficult to revert to the untanned appearance of their regular skin color during pregnancy. Being pregnant can make a woman feel on top of the world or it can sometimes be cause for lower self-esteem, all depending on how the mother-to-be feels when she looks in the mirror. Applying makeup, updating her hairstyle and buying new clothes can all help raise her spirits, but some women simply feel 100% better when their skin has that healthy, caramel glow.
The ingredients in sunless tanners are considered harmless to use during pregnancy. However, many doctors will advise their patients against their use because the jury is out over whether these ingredients actually penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, or remain superficial. Studies have been carried out and determined that the active ingredient, DHA (dihydroxyacetone) does not penetrate the skin. DHA has been used in cosmetics since 1960 and there have never been any issues reported concerning its absorption into the skin, nor its responsibility for any pregnancy-related problems.
If you intend to use sunless tanners during pregnancy, check with your doctor first, as you do with all products you apply on or to your body. During the first trimester, it’s advisable to avoid using anything for which you may have even a single doubt, because this is the period of pregnancy during which your baby is in its most crucial formative stage.
Sunless tanning products are by far more acceptable than tanning beds are, pregnancy or not, but particularly when a woman is pregnant, tanning beds can raise the core body temperature significantly and this is extremely dangerous to the forming fetus.
Lying out in the sun has dangers all its own and should be kept to a minimum.
One thing to keep in mind when using sunless tanners is that during pregnancy, a woman’s hormones change dramatically. Your regular product may cause a reaction when you begin using it in the second trimester so be sure to do a patch test on your skin to ensure that it is still safe for you to use it.

The United States denied entry to a Russian, who was appointed to the UN secretariat, stated the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova.
"Earlier, the Americans refused entry to a Russian citizen for no reason, one who has been appointed to the UN Secretariat. The Americans have been delaying their response for the whole year" Zakharova complained, adding that the United States continue to create problems for Russians. She pointed out that the US has gone to great lengths to disrupt business, cultural, sport and humanitarian travel for Russian citizens.
“The US authorities deliberately impede the work of Russian diplomatic and consular representatives, delaying the issuance of entry permits for new employees. Direct denials of visas have become regular,” emphasized the representative of the Foreign Affairs Ministry. "The United States is abusing its arrangement privilege" as a UN host country, she claimed.
In Zakharova's opinion, Washington manipulates visa issues "to use pressure on other countries as it arbitrarily determines whose representatives are allowed to participate in events through the UN, and whose representatives will not have access." Russia condemned such actions by the United States as a "brutal outrage."
In September, Switzerland also refused to allow the “deputy minister” from the annexed Crimea to attend a UN session.


The UN human rights system needs independent experts to promote and defend the right to adequate housing in collaboration with States, civil society, international and nation human rights mechanisms, UN agencies, and other relevant stakeholders. It is a demanding, non-remunerated function, but a very important one that also provides opportunities.
The deadline to apply for the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing has been extended until Sunday 27 October 2019, 12:00 GMT.
All experts who are or have worked on the right to adequate housing and who meet the eligibility criteria could consider applying:
More information about the mandate of the Special Rapporteur, the resolution establishing it and the activities of the current mandate holder and pervious Special Rapporteurs is available at: https://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Housing/Pages/HousingIndex.aspx
More information relating to eligibility of candidates and the selection process is available here. For submitting an application please consult this website. Candidates would have to complete an online survey and fill in a word application form.
The Human Rights Council is expected to appoint a new Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing for three years (usually extended after three years for another three years, making it six in total) during the forthcoming session of the Human Rights Council in March 2020 after the Consultative Group of the Human Rights Council has shortlisted and interviewed candidates. The selected candidate is expected to assume her or his functions as of 1 May 2020.
Previous UN Special Rapporteurs on Adequate Housing:
Ms. Leilani Farha (Canada)-Appointed in May 2014, assumed her function 2 June 2014. A lawyer by training, for the past 20 years Ms. Farha has worked both internationally and domestically on the implementation of the right to adequate housing for the most marginalized groups.
In May 2008, at the 7th session of the Human Rights Council, Ms Raquel Rolnik was appointed UN Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context.
In 2000, Mr. Kothari was appointed the first Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context . His mandate ended in 2008.

I get it. We had a small earthquake over here in the relatively insulated-against-acts-of-God East Coast. From the second it happened, I was tired of hearing about it. I’ve felt less spatially secure after two glasses of wine, than from that earthquake. I think this paints an accurate picture:
I understand-it’s scary when you’re not sure what’s happening, especially for those who live in areas that have been traumatized by massive acts of violence. But let’s think about how much worse it could’ve been. This didn’t happen here:
And it didn’t happen here for a few reasons: 1)the sheer magnitude of the quake was much smaller, 2)we have the means to fortify our properties against such disasters and 3)we have efficient emergency management plans and resources in place that allow us to act swiftly and safely to limit injury, loss of life and property destruction. So, give thanks that we had those things on our side, that we continue to have those things on our side, and that life goes on, as usual.


In 1997, Matthieu Chedid, better known by his stage name -M-, released his first solo album. An impressive debut effort, Le Baptême features the funky dancefloor hit "Matchistador." Coinciding with the release of the album, -M- created the distinctive horned hairdo that would brand him almost as much as his sound. A true personality on the French rock scene, -M- got a whole country dancing with the release of Le Baptême.

Staffan de Mistura, UN special envoy for Syria, told reporters that thousands of lives could be lost, and he urged Syria and Russia to not destroy the eastern part of the city in their forceful offensive against opposition fighters. The UN estimates that 275,000 civilians are trapped in eastern Aleppo, the BBC reports.
“The bottom line is, in a maximum of two months… the city of eastern Aleppo at this rate may be totally destroyed,” de Mistura said in Geneva. He said he was willing to escort the roughly 900 remaining Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly al-Nusra front) fighters from the city himself if they decide to leave.
“Thousands of Syrian civilians, not terrorists, will be killed and many of them wounded,” de Mistura said. “This is what you, we, the world will be seeing when we will be trying to celebrate Christmas, or the end of the year, if this continues at this rate, unimpeded.”

We are living exciting times thanks to technology and the internet. Nowadays, we have so much power in our smartphone devices that it might be surprising if we stop for a moment to think that our inexpensive phone is more powerful than the first computers, which occupied entire rooms.
And it’s not just about raw computing power. Having phones that get better on each generation, and being always connected to the internet, have allowed us to enjoy of things that a couple decades ago were just for some, among this, taking photos is one of these.
As smartphones get more and more advance each year, professional cameras and their best makers: Canon, Sony, Pentax, Panasonic and Nikon are doing wonders with their DSLR, mirrorless and even point and shoot cameras.
But the latest smartphone are not only capable computers: They are also powerful cameras that we can take with us anywhere we go. This is why many have called the digital photography, but even more, the newest smartphone cameras, the democratization of photography.
That’s an exciting term, and it really make us want to go out with a smartphone camera and share our photos on Instagram. So let’s discover what are the current best smartphone cameras for you to go and capture the world.
Right now, people and media have been talking a lot about Huawei, due to its ban in the United States, and their loss of access to Android and all Google services, which puts the company at a difficult position, and leave all of its users in a dilemma in regards to what to do with their phones.
For now, we will have to wait to hear what the company have to tell us about the state of their phones and what users will have to do. But, what doesn’t stop being true, is that Huawei P30 pro, and especially, its camera, is one of the best in the market, and for many, the very best one.
To begin with, it has three main cameras on the back, or four cameras, if counting the time of flight sensor. This is the Leica Quad Main Camera, which have different focal lengths and the latest light fusion sensor, which offers a lot of flexibility, as well a lot of power to photography enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Its four cameras feature a powerful 40-megapixel camera, as well as an impressive 5x optical zoom periscope lens, which allows for very close shots with a great quality and unlocks new possibilities for photographers using their smartphones.
Its night vision for pictures on very dark situations is one of the bests among smartphones. It’s of course not a mode for most photography situations, but it’s a great option to count with when we really want to capture a moment and we have no proper light sources.
Overall, a solid option for smartphone camera, perfect for taking high quality photos anywhere, leveraging the best of software, and of course, being also a very good phone. If it wasn’t because of the current situation of Huawei, the decision would be easier.
Google is a software game changer; they changed online searching forever, and own some of the most important software in the tech world, including the Android operating system. And lately, they have been putting a lot of effort into machine learning and AI.
These efforts and experiments into artificial intelligence of Google have also been done in the realm of computational photography, which has allowed them to deliver a great smartphone camera, not so heavy on the hardware side, but compensated with superb camera software.
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL don’t have several lenses as other great phone cameras alternatives do, and its back camera is 12-megapixel, but this is not exactly a bad thing, as this, for one, allows Google to greatly reduce costs, since consumers don’t have to pay for the cost of the extra lenses and sophisticated camera.
Since Google’s Pixel 3 doesn’t rely as much on hardware, it lacks optical zoom, but it perfectly overcomes this with its Super Res Zoom, which uses software techniques to combine multiple frames together, to obtain a detailed zoomed shot.
Its Night Sight mode is also excellent, leveraging once again the power of software, to brighten up very dark scenes, and being able to keep the focus, without needing to rely on flash, which is very useful when we simply don’t have enough light to take that night photo.
Overall, the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL offer a great camera, which might not seem as great at first sight, being weird to hear of a good smartphone camera without many lenses. But this is just a limitation that makes it one of the cheapest best phone cameras around, and its impressive software capabilities might be a plus for software enthusiasts.
It was hard not to talk about the latest iteration on the Apple’s iPhone series, and both, the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max come with what is one of the best cameras on a smartphone. And it’s a great camera that comes into an overall beautiful smartphone.
Similar to the Google’s Pixel 3, the iPhone XS might not seem so impressive as a more than capable phone camera at first glance because it has only one main camera, a 12-megapixel one, but this has dual lenses with f/2.4 and f/1.8 apertures.
One of the greatest improvements on this iPhone model, is its smart HDR (High Dynamic Range), which leverages software, as well as faster sensors, which highly improves photos, and allow you to take good photos even quicker, without making them look artificial.
Apple’s iPhone XS and XS Max come with Depth Control, to adjust the depth of field once you have taken the photo. And, for portrait photos, its improved Portrait Lighting allows you to capture people more beautifully.
The newest iPhone in the market is not disappointing, but quite the opposite; and for those wanting to take great pictures while leveraging the power of digital photography, this is one of the best smartphone cameras.
However, if looking for the negative side, its price is definitely one of the key factors when deciding whether to get this or not. Its price tag is the highest, and this is the price to pay for a beautifully designed phone, with great screen and image quality, and a great camera.
When talking about anything that involves great technology in smartphones, one simply cannot avoid talking about Samsung, as this company has been offering the most impressive Android smartphones for many years, and the camera of these devices never disappoints us.
With its Galaxy S10, Samsung has opted for leveraging the power of better camera hardware, more on the side of the Huawei P30, than that of Google Pixel 3 and iPhone XS; which rely more on software (not a bad thing whatsoever, of course).
To begin with, as an overall smartphone, without exclusively talking about its camera capabilities, this is simply a wonderful device, with simply one of the greatest battery lives out there, and a AMOLED screen that looks great. These are both great features that will allow you to take more pictures in a day without worrying about battery.
On the camera side of things, the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus come with three cameras on the back, which offer a wider range of possibilities for photography enthusiasts, with each for a specific purpose.
One of its three cameras, its main camera, located in the middle of the camera setup, is a 12-megapixel camera with its standard view and optical image stabilization (OIS). The 12 MP might be surprising, and even disappointing, but it is important to remember that more megapixels alone doesn’t make up great photography capabilities, and this is true for most smartphone cameras, including this one.
Next, we have a 16-megapixel super-wide-angle camera, which allows photographers to take very detailed views, allowing to put many more things into the scene. This is a great feature to count with when we want more spacious, and fascinating pictures.
This smartphone camera features yet another camera, once again, a 12-megapixel camera, but this one comes with a telephoto lens, to take photos that are 2x closer, without losing much in quality. Even if 2x is not the greatest zoom, it’s worth remembering that it’s an optical zoom, which means closer photos with great quality.
The latest flagship device of Samsung is overall an excellent phone, with great screen quality, fast processing speeds, and, of course, a great camera, and this time competing with the Huawei P30 with its three main cameras. A solid option for a powerful phone, with a great camera.
There is no shortage of great smartphone cameras out there right now. Each brand has been improving over the years, some have decided to go for more and better lenses, while others go for better computational photography.
However, there’s certainly a price tag barrier for some people, as most of the best smartphone cameras available in the market come from the best brands. But this doesn’t mean that there are not alternatives if you are looking for a modern and more than capable camera that is much more budget-friendly.
The Honor 20 can be put next to the Huawei P30 and the Samsung Galaxy S10, as what makes it great as a smartphone camera are its four rare cameras, just as the Huawei P30 does. This quad-camera will give you a lot of freedom and a wide range of possibilities on your photography endeavors.
Honor 20 Pro’s main camera features 48-megapixel, which is quite a high number of MP. This is stabilized, with a very good quality of photography, and which allows to record very stable videos.
This phone also comes with a 2-megapixel macro camera, which is not the most impressive in terms of quality, but which is still a very good concept, that might help you to get interesting photos, and overall, for a budget-friendly device, it is a great surprise to count with this.
For our more involved photography needs, apart from the powerful 48-megapixel main camera, we count with an 8-megapixel camera with telephoto lens, which allows gives us the possibility to take photos at 3x of zoom without losing too much quality.
Finally, the four camera of the Honor 20 Pro’s quad-camera, is a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, to take much more detailed photos, that fits more into the scene. This might not be as powerful as other alternatives, but still quite good.
If you are looking for a good multi-purpose smartphone, much cheaper than the most popular brands, and that prioritizes the camera quality; then the Honor 20 Pro is a great option. However, this is a sub-brand of Huawei, and therefore the same regulations might affect this brand as well. Which could make it better to wait until august to see what future Honor devices will do.
Yet another option for those wanting to leverage the power of more than two rear cameras, the OnePlus 7 Pro features a 3 back cameras setup, with the power of Leica lenses, the same used for the Huawei 30 Pro.
OnePlus 7 Pro’s main camera has a 48-megapixel sensor and wide-angle, which is powerful for the standard camera, and being it wide-angle allows for great quick shots out of the box, as it is capable to capture many details.
Its secondary camera comes with a 16-megapixel sensor and ultra-wide angle, which allows to capture a broad 117-degree field of view. It might fall a bit behind other smartphone camera alternatives on this area, but under the right conditions, it’s still a great added.
For taking very close photos, the OnePlus 7 pro comes with an 8-megapixel telephoto lens which unlocks the possibility of taking photos with a 3x zoom without losing details, as it’s a camera designed for this need.
What makes the OnePlus 7 Pro’s camera special is definitely its portrait mode, which has been enhanced, adding a great bokeh effect. A great camera for photographing people, with a very good face detection. It allows to record videos at up to a 4K resolution and 60 FPS, which is quite a good added.
OnePlus 7 Pro is a not so pricey alternative, which might fall behind a bit in some regards, but which, for not professional photography, offers a very pleasant photography experience, features very modern Leica lenses, and is just great for taking beautiful portraits.
Samsung is incredibly prolific on its cutting-edge smartphone technology production, by not only producing some of the best flagships out there, but also other options for more specific needs, and this is the case with its Galaxy Note 9.
In terms of phone and computational capabilities, the Galaxy Note 9 is impressive, and whether you decide to get this one, a S9 or a S10; is a decision that requires to consider many factors. But, as a smartphone camera alone, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has quite good features.
The latest Samsung smartphones are doing a very good job by mixing the best of camera hardware and lenses, with AI and computational photography and post-processing; and this is also the case with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
It features a dual 12-megapixel rear camera, which uses technology to change between apertures depending on light conditions. While its secondary back camera gives you the possibility to take photos with a 2x optical zoom. This might not sound like a big number, but it’s a telephoto lens, which offers closer images without losing much quality.
The Galaxy Note 9 also comes with enhanced scene-optimizer capabilities, which automatically adjusts colors and the white balance, and does this by determining the subjects in the image. It might get hard to notice the improved details, but they are there.
Choosing between the latest Samsung’s flagship or the latest Galaxy Note will depend a lot on what you would like to use your modern smartphone for. Galaxy Note 9’s camera is great, but you should definitely consider the other advantages of a Galaxy Note before going for this one.
Sony has a been a firm competitor in the realm of professional photography, with its excellent DSLRs and point & shoots alike. But, in the world of smartphone cameras, their Xperia series has never disappointed when it comes to image, photo and video.
A lot has been said in regards to phone cameras, always paying special attention to the photography capabilities; finding that some are more powerful in terms of camera hardware, while others leverage software and AI to process great images.
In the realm of smartphone cameras for video and cine, not much has been said. This is why the Sony Xperia 1 has a well-deserved place for those video and film aficionados and pros alike. It’s an interesting bet to feature great smartphone videography, and we will explore it.
First, its aspect ratio is quite unusual, but great for making videos. It features a 21:9 screen, making it way longer than other flagships. And its screen features a 4K resolution, notch-free and HDR.
What makes the Sony Xperia 1 so good for those who want to record great videos with a smartphone, is the fact that it gives a lot of control for videographers, with manual control. It also produces videos that can be perfectly enhanced later with post-processing tools.
There are weak points such as a not so great battery life. But, overall, for those wanting to have a great phone, made by a brand with a long photography and video tradition; and especially, those wanting to produce great video with a smartphone, the Sony Xperia 1 is a great choice
