The World Wide Tour 1997 is the debut tour by Italian singer-songwriter Laura Pausini. Beginning on 1 March 1997 and ending in Atlantic City on 28 June 1997 the tour was in support from her album Le cose che vivi.
This has been the only tour when Laura visited countries like Colombia. It was expected that Pausini would return to such countries during the Inedito World Tour between 2011 and 2012, but since she announced her pregnancy on 15 September 2012 such plans backfired.
After a massive album promotion made by Warner Music, Pausini announces during 1996 that finally it will be a "World Wide Tour" to please the high demand from the public that aclaimes concerts around South America and Europe.
With early performances in Europe (particularly on Italy), Laura with a short crew visits the world performing in America, saying "I feel that I'm a Latin woman every time I sing in Spanish".
For Pausini's management, it was a challenge to take the tour to North America due to the low promotion in the edge of the continent. Special critics review with very positive comments the performance at Miami, when Pausini made an effort to give the fans what they were looking for.
The promotion of the album took over more than a year to please the label's agreement.
Broadcast and recordings
No recording was ever made or released by Pausini. However, in order to promote the tour as well the album, Pausini sang many songs in Spanish and Italian on 22 February 1997 during the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile.
However, after years, the show is available on YouTube. A famous bootleg of the first performance of Pausini in Brazil, on 16 May 1997 is also available.
The setlist presents some variations in every continent.
However, this is the most complete information about the programa in every city.
Due to compromise between the languages on her albums, Pausini took the liberty to sing and both languages (Spanish and Italian) most of the time. Especifically, sang three Portuguese songs during the shows at Brazil.
On 16 May 1997 show, Pausini sang "The Girl from Ipanema" in Portuguese, to please her Brazilian audience on the day of her birthday.

Cristiano Ronaldo made history yesterday, becoming the first male player to score in five World Cups in Portugal’s opening game in Qatar against Ghana.
The Portugal captain scored in the 65th minute from the penalty spot — making that his 118th goal for his country — to open the scoring at Doha’s Stadium 974. Portugal then went on to win the tie 3-2 as goals from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao helped them get over the line after Ghana scored two comeback goals.
Ronaldo, 37, is the most prolific goal scorer in men’s international football and has made a record 18 appearances for Portugal at a World Cup. Speaking at a press conference after the game, Ronaldo said: “It’s a beautiful moment, in my fifth World Cup. We won, we started off on the right foot, a very important victory.
“We know that in these competitions, winning the first game is crucial. Another record too, the only player to score in five consecutive World Cups, that for me, is a reason of great pride.”
The ex-Manchester United forward made his Portugal debut in 2003 and scored his first goal 10 months later during a Euro 2004 group stage game against Greece. His first World Cup goal then came in 2006, and it was from the penalty spot in a 2-0 win over Iran. The second goal came four years later in South Africa against North Korea, with the next coming against Ghana in the 2014 World Cup.
Goal number four came in Russia in 2018 — which was Ronaldo’s most successful World Cup campaign — where he scored four goals, including a hat trick in a 3-3 draw with Spain.
Concluding on Instagram, Ronaldo posted: “Very important win in our World Cup opener but nothing is won! It was just the first step! We remain focused on the pursuit of our objectives. Strength Portugal!”
Elsewhere in sports, Apple is reportedly interested in buying Manchester United.

They were a little sweet, a little sour; small, bright red cherries, which had come all the way from the Kashmir Valley. Here in the Himalayan foothills where Rakesh lived, there were not many fruit trees. The soil was stony, and the dry cold winds stunted the growth of most plants. But on the more sheltered slopes there were forests of oak and deodar.

Subject: SC - a recipe for kids to try
I have found that hedgehogs is a great one for kids. I made a lot of these
for a feast a few years back and I had all the kids in the principality
making them. One of them was serving the high table and had the prince at
the time (Georg - who is again prince, that's for Morgana and any other
Oerthans on the list) rolling with laughter and almost in tears with the
tale of hunting and catching them (not to difficult) and preparing them
(they are the very devil to clean you know). I made them this weekend for
a potluck feast and the 10 year old in our party took hers home to show her
mother before she would eat it.
Here is the original
Take Piggis mawys & skalde hem wel, take groundyn Porke and knede it with
spicerye with pouder gyngere and salt and sugre, do it on the mawe, but
fille it nowt to fulle, then sewe hem with a fayre threde and putte hem in
a Spete as men don piggys, take blaunchid almaundys and kerfe hem long,
smal and scharpe and frye hem in grece and sugre, take a litel prycke and
prykke the yrchouns, an putte in the holes the almaundys every hole hald
and eche fro other, ley hem then to the fyre , when they ben rostid, dore
hem sum whyth Whete flowre and mylke of almaundys, sum grene, sum blake
with Blode and lat hem nowt brone to moche and serve forth.
It s from 2 15th century cookery books (i think that 's what my notes day)
Bascially, I don't do the Piggis mawys (that's like stomach or intestine,
you could use sausage casings). I usually just do meat balls with spices
and bread crumbs and egg to hold it together, and bake them them with
slivered almonds that have been browned (with or without the sugar) as
spikes with cloves or currants as eyes. I have glazed them with a flour
batter and also served them with out.
It is a very hands on recipe that kids like.
in Viandier the same recipe calls for finely chopped meat, grapes, crumbled
rich cheese placed in sheep cauls (stomachs) which are spitted and roasted
and then treated the same way.

How about fritters of some sort? Such as:
Platina p. 148 (book 8)
Toast white bread crumbs, soak them in rosewater with beaten eggs and
ground sugar. Take them out, fry them in a pan with butter or liquamen
[chicken or pork fat], spread out so they do not touch each other. When
fried, put in dishes and sprinkle with sugar, rosewater, and saffron.
The version of this recipe in Martino's cookbook starts out: Have some
slices of white bread pared that does not have crust and make the slices be
four (or square), a little toasted so much that every part be colored from
the fire. ...[end of original]
1 lb sourdough bread 5 T sugar 16 threads saffron
2 t rosewater (or more) ~1/2 stick (1/ lb) butter or lard 1 c more sugar
10 eggs 1 t more rosewater
Beat eggs. Beat in sugar and rosewater. Cut crust off the bread, slice
thin, put into egg mixture and let soak. Crush saffron into remaining
rosewater, mix with remaining sugar and set aside. Melt butter or lard in
frying pan; when hot enough (test with small piece of bread stuff) put
chunks of bread stuff into lard and fry until just browned on both sides.
Drain briefly on paper towels, put into dish and sprinkle with sugar and
Two Fifteenth Century p. 97/74
Take flour, water, saffron, sugar and salt, and make fine paste thereof,
and fair thin cakes; and cut them like losenges and fry them in fine oil,
and serve them forth hot in a dish in lenten time. [end of original]
2 c flour a pinch of saffron 1/2 t salt
1/2 c water 1/2 c sugar oil for frying
Crush saffron in water to extract color and flavor, put in a bowl and mix
in sugar and salt, add flour and mix lightly until moistened. Heat about 1
inch of oil in a frying pan. Roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut in
small diamonds, fry a few at a time since they cook very quickly.

Subject: SC - Cooking in MOC
I hosted MOC activities at our local 12th night. One of the activities I selected to do was redacting and cooking a period recipe. Of the 23 kids in MOC only one did not like what we did. We made Brown Fries from Take a Thousand Eggs or More II. The Kids translated it into modern English and then we prepared the recipe. It was by and far the most popular activity all day (and it had some stiff competition like calligraphy and gold leafing on vellum). I have not up packed all the MOC stuff yet but when I do I will post the recipe if anyone is interested. I was wondering if anyone else had ever done this with kids and what kind of success they had.

Subject: SC - Children/ Food / Events (long)
So, I saw a need to fill and decided to run with it. I really wanted to work
with this problem for the past couple of years, but never really had the
nerve to do it. I now have that nerve.
1) unknown foods at events
2) children witn nothing to do
3) need for unskilled labor in kitchen (paring , mixing, chopping, washing,
4) need for more training for more active roles in kitchen
The positive influences:
1) A bored child is more willing to try anything to not be bored
2) A child is more often willing to eat something he has helped create.
3) What we see as unskilled labor is fun to children (Messy is good !)
4) Experience in a friendly atmosphere creates a liking for kitchen duties.
5) I work well with children ( teaching and nursing background).
6) My mom taught me how a kitchen can be made fun .
The negative influences:
1) Period food is often strange to a modern child
2) Previous help in the kitchen may have been unnoticed or unrewarded.
3) The decidedly adult atmosphere scares the timid child.
Small classes (of ten children) given out in areas requesting a University
Example: At our most recent East Kingdom University, I provided a workable
(albeit, not typical) kitchen in which a maximum of ten children could
create, and eat a small feast based on period sources. However, the cooking
itself was thoroughly modern due to the constraints of the working area (in a
conventional classroom). I have a portable oven (convection/broiler/microwave
acquired in the 70's), a electric steamer, and a good quality crockpot.
The menu: Hirchones from Harleian MS 279
La maniere de faire compost from The Menagier du Paris
Applemoyl from Harleian MS 279
Hot spiced cider
The result: A class of six, one child under five (I had limited the ages
from 6 to 12), the father stayed to help the five year old. There were no
other adults present.
The chopping and paring took a great deal of time. The results were ill
formed and messy. They were incorporated into the final recipes with great
admiration of a job well done and smiles from all.
The spiced cider was a hit! I encouraged mortar and pestle use for the
spices and they also grated a nutmeg into the brew. All pronounced it
The hedgehogs, ended up looking like space aliens (one done like Pikachu by
an older child who could not just make a hedgehog like the others), but
three were fully eaten, one had the almonds eaten off, and two went home to
show Mom how cool this was!
The compost (mostly carrots) were considered to be good. They really liked
the honey sauce (no surprise here) and were promptly eaten.
The applemoyl had the best result of all, it was inhaled! The spices (now
, all familiar: I explained what they were and we "sampled" them before
adding them) mixed with the apples and the other ingredients were very good.
While it did not look as visually pleasing to the adult eye (due to the
chopping episodes) it tasted better than it looked.
The downside: While I had brought games to occupy them during the cooking
phase, I had forgotten that some do not participate well in group games. Next
time I will bring solo activities too.
Final Note: All in all, we had a good time. I learned a lot, and so did
they. I think the best thing that happened to me is that when I asked them if
they would do this again, EVERY ONE said yes! My next class is this weekend
and I already have two on the schedule for Pennsic!! And at Pennsic, we will
be using camp fire cooking techniques and be discovering how to use a turf

How's about Dulcia Domestica, a Roman date stuffed with nuts, my kids love em
and eat them like candy,
Here is the recipe, very "Child Do-able"
Original Recipe #294 Flower and Rosenbaum edition of Apicius
Little home confections(which are called dulciaria) are made thus: little
palms or (as they are ordinarily called) dates are struffed- after the seeds
have been removed- with a nut or with nuts and ground pepper, sprinkled with
salt on the outside and are candied in honey and served.
3 1/2 oz walnut halves
13 oz pitted dried dates
1 tsp fresh ground long pepper
3/4 cup honey plus 1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
Roast the walnuts on a baking sheet in a hot over(425 degrees) for 5 minutes.
Prepare the dates by gently prying open and inserting walnut piece
(approximately ¼ walnut). Close and set aside. When complete, sprinkle salt
In a heavy skillet combine honey/water and pepper. Heat to a boil and reduce
to a low simmer.
Place the dates into the honey and cook about 3-5 minutes or until just soft.
Remove dates and set aside to cool. Can be stored in a cool dry place. Makes
about 80 treats.
I would remove the honey from the hot pan and put into a measuring cup for
the children to pour over the dates, mix them up and place on waxed paper to

Adding ingredients, mixing, measuring (never too early to start math),
selecting recipes (pictures help and beginning the reading skills), fetching
dry ingredients, stressing the "clean as we go" skillsets, the rolling pin
is a friend, cookie cutters, clock watching, shopping. Starting with food
that only takes a short time to cook. Young folks have a shorter attention
span and can loose interest if they are say, waiting for a 3 pound roast
beef to cook. Garnishing is always fun. Wiping up and sweeping. Best not
to let them get too close to the stove. There are some really good and fun
kids cookbooks at the library. I get a lot of ideas from them.

Hais, which doesn't require cooking, might be a better option. (I've made
gingerbrede both ways and am convinced that the part where you cast the
bread into the boiling honey means you have to heat the honey.)
Hais is in Cariadoc's Miscellany:
al-Baghdadi p. 214/14 (GOOD)
Take fine dry bread, or biscuit, and grind up well. Take a ratl of this,
and three quarters of a ratl of fresh or preserved dates with the stones
removed, together with three uqiya of ground almonds and pistachios. Knead
all together very well with the hands. Refine two uqiya of sesame-oil, and
pour over, working with the hand until it is mixed in. Make into cabobs,
and dust with fine-ground sugar. If desired, instead of sesame-oil use
butter. This is excellent for travellers.
2 2/3 c bread crumbs
2 c (about one lb) pitted dates
1/3 c ground almonds
1/3 c ground pistachios
7 T melted butter or sesame oil
We usually mix dates, bread crumbs, and nuts in a food processor or
blender. For "cabobs," roll into one inch balls. Good as caravan food (or
for taking to wars). They last forever if you do not eat them, but you do
so they don't.

Does anyone have any ideas out there for a food item that
could be made by children as part of a class using period
techniques, but does not require any actual heating or cooking?
We will be in an indoor room with a table but without any
kitchen facilities as far as I am aware. It will be too hot at that
time of year (August in Texas) to go outside and do a fire.

text: LIGHTS acoustic EP is a perfect example of an artist listening to what the fans want. When LIGHTS debut album The Listening came out she did live chats where she performed some acoustic versions of her songs that the fans went crazy for and demanded more. The EP was completly self recorded and produced by LIGHTS herself in her home studio and proves just how musicly talanted she is. Usually when an artist does an acoustic song they don’t change or improve the song but in LIGHTS case she does both. A perfect example of this is on Saviour which is a keyboard driven pop song with Auto-Tune over her vocals on The Listening while the acoustic version is slowed down and really show cases her terrific voice. Further proving my point that LIGHTS is playing the wrong music having her beautiful voice being hidden behind the electronics. But that is what makes her so great she makes the music that she loves. The EP is five songs and features three from The Listening, one unrealeased track from early in her carrer and one cover of a Rancid song. Along with the EP she is going on a small acoustic tour.

Denver police say a gunman shot a woman before apparently killing himself at a downtown office building on Tuesday afternoon.
Police spokesman Doug Schepman said officers quickly entered the building where they found the gunman dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. They also found a woman who had suffered several gunshot wounds. She was transported in critical condition, Schepman said.
One eyewitness said she heard from co-workers that two people had been shot and the "shooter was down." People quickly fled the building.
Officers blocked off multiple roads in the area.

The other day I saw this wonderful photo of a wolf on the net. I don’t remember what I actually was looking for when my eyes cought the picture but right the way I was inspired to make a colour pencil drawing. I know my drawing is not good at all but I like to do it. It’s very relaxing.
I started by using colour pencils. Three different shades of gray and one black pencil. I wish I had left it at that. I used both water colours and acrylics to make the drawing better. Eeeeek, no good ! I regretted it immediately and tried to wipe it off with a wet cloth but too late.
ooops, the date is wrong, should read 17.2.2011
The wolf picture appears to be one very popular subject to both paint and draw as I found plenty of different versions of it on the net. All absolutely great ones.
It’s very nice! It seems your wolf is smiling 🙂
Oooh thank you Mika for your nice comment. You made my day 🙂

By Terri Wilson
If the name doesn’t ring any bells with you, she was the first person to immigrate to the United States through the famous port at Ellis Island.
More than 12 million people arrived in America at Ellis Island between the years 1892 and 1954, coming from all parts of the world to live in the United States. But on the first day, it was 15-year old Annie Moore who was first. She was coming from County Cork in Ireland with her 2 younger brothers (Anthony and Phillip). Their parents were already in New York having travelled previously to get established. Annie and her siblings had spent 12 days on a ship, in the steerage compartment.
To commemorate her arrival, she got a $10 gold coin and there is now a statue of her on the island. Seven hundred other people were processed that day after Annie.
The story of Annie Moore’s life after that famous day went like this: she grew up in New York but moved out west to follow the American Dream and pioneer spirit of the times. Eventually, she came to live in Texas where she died in a street car accident in 1924.
Thanks to the research of several genealogists, it was uncovered that this wasn’t Annie’s story after all. There was another Annie Moore in Texas, but she was not the same one who had been through Ellis Island in 1892.
Well-known genealogist Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak worked with Brian Andersson (who was on the New York Commission of Records) and Patricia Sommerstein (a relative of Annie Moore) to uncover the accurate history. They worked with the staff at ProGenealogists.com to see what actually happened to Ms. Moore.
As it ends up, Annie never moved out of New York after all and spent the rest of her life in the Lower East Side of the city. Married to Joseph Schayer, she had 11 children. Of those eleven, only 5 survived to adulthood and there is a continuing line of descent from her family today. Through their investigation, the genealogists learned that poor Annie was buried in an unmarked grave in Calvary Cemetery, not far from Ellis Island. Funds were raised and she now has a fine headstone to mark her final resting place.
If you feel she may be part of your own family tree, I have a few more genealogy details. She was born on April 24 1874 in County Cork, Ireland. Her parents were Matthew Moore (1852 – 1907) and Julia Cronan (1857 – 1927), and she was married to Joseph Augustus Schayer. Annie Moore died in New York on December 6, 1924.
Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak’s blog has an entry about all of this, and some further details on how her research into Annie Moore’s life developed.
I found this story to be a very good example of how known historical “facts” can be wrong and that all information should be personally researched on your own if you want to get to the bottom of any genealogical tales.

Trends in mobile phone photography
...in Europe were sent by Nokia on occasion of the label's marketing activities which led to the initiation of the 'International Mobile Photography Day' on 20 October 2013.
Nokia invites users to post their mobile phone pictures (taken by any smartphone!) via hashtag #1020mobilephotoday in social media (Twitter, Facebook). For sure, Nokia uses the activity for marketing reasons and communicates by the way the photo qualities of its Lumia 1020 phone; but it's also a nice opportunity to share photos with other users and think about people's mobile phone and social media behavior.
fig.: Fashionoffice's mobile phone photo was shot at the amusement park 'Wurstelprater' (means as much as 'pantaloon field') in Vienna. It shows a pantaloon sitting on a house; in one hand the jester holds a white hobbyhorse, with the other hand the figure in blue overall and foolscap with big heart on its chest is waving hello. Posted on 18 October 2013 via Twitter.
Alongside to the social media invitation, Nokia sent some results of an opinion poll by the British researchers Redshift. The study gives insights into the behavior of users in selected European countries. Germans for example keep photos of their partner and friends for a long time on the phone, while they are deleting party-shots after short time; the short-time saving of party-shots on the mobile phone is also reflected by the general scepticism against posting pictures of such moments on Facebook.
Perhaps they think that it's enough to meet the fools outside of the internet!

Over the past several weeks, we have all been forced to modify our routines during the COVID 19
We are pleased to announce that, based on recently updated guidelines, we will be fully opening
our Simi Valley office for in-office visits and testing as necessary. It is important
that our patients understand their health and safety is our first priority. For this reason, we are still
offering telemedicine for our high-risk patients.
Below is a list of policies we have enacted to ensure the safety of our staff and patients.
1- All our patients and staff are routinely screened for signs and symptoms including fever, cough,
or shortness of breath.
2- All our patients and staff are required to wear face coverings when in the office.
3- We will continue to follow the enhanced social distancing protocol we implemented several
weeks ago. While we anticipate having fewer patients in the waiting room, which has already
been modified to accommodate social distancing, patients can also wait outside of the office or
in their cars. We will notify patients when their appointment is ready.
4- We will continue to follow the enhanced cleaning protocol we implemented several weeks ago.
While we are always overly concerned about the cleanliness of our office, please note that we
have made steps to increase the frequency and intensity with which we clean high-traffic areas.
5- We will continue to restrict the number of people in the office by asking that patients come to
their appointment alone or, when necessary, with only a single family member or caregiver.
6- If you are experiencing symptoms that are worrisome for COVID 19, please do not come to the
office. If you have an office visit that needs to be changed to a telemedicine appointment
because you are not feeling well, there will be no penalty for the change.
As always, the safety of our patients and our staff is our primary concern. We believe that, by taking
these precautions, we can safely resume caring for our patients and prevent any problems caused by
further delays in treatment. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us in the office.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Dr. Shahrzad Shareghi and the entire Cardiovascular Care Center team

Back when we were kids, relaxing meant curling up on the couch with a good book and vegging out for a couple of hours. "Back when" wasn't that long ago (this writer was 11 in 1989), but the times have been a-changing drastically over the past decade: Now, overscheduled, overstressed kids are supposed to take yet another class in order to relax their overburdened selves.
At least, that's the idea behind SMART-4-Kidz, a program that combines physical activity, such as yoga positions and dance moves, with storytelling and music, in order to help kids deal with daily stressors and the rest of their apparently miserable lives. SMART, an acronym for Stress Management And Relaxation Technique's for Children and Adolescents, was developed by child psychologist (and advertising man) Michael Portney, who has research results to back up SMART's claims that kids benefit from relaxation techniques with increased focus and reduced anxiety; he also found that the benefits are greatest when kids attend a twice-weekly SMART class.
Kids can check out the SMART program for free this week at a studio on the Upper West Side or in Carroll Gardens. Fall sessions are currently meeting in UWS, Park Slope and Carroll Gardens locations. Of course, that means that kids in the bronx and Queens, who lack convenient access to these programs, are in danger of totally bugging out. Or not.
Call 212-595-KIDZ or 718-369-7278 to reserve a spot, or visit www.smart4kidz.org.

MONTREAL – The Buffalo Sabres must keep looking for another goalie.
A potential deal between the Sabres and Ottawa Senators involving Matt Murray was nixed because Buffalo is on the goalie’s 10-team no-trade list, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
The Senators would’ve retained some of Murray’s salary and given the Sabres the seventh overall pick in tonight’s NHL Draft in exchange for the 16th selection, according to TSN’s Darren Dreger.
“The reality is we worked hard on a deal but players have the ability when it’s in their contract to make those decisions, and we want players who want to be here,” Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams said Thursday after the first round round ended inside the Bell Centre.
Murray, 28, has two seasons left on his four-year, $25 million contract. He has a base salary of $7 million this season, according to capfriendly.com.
While he backstopped the Pittsburgh Penguins to Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017, Murray has struggled in recent years, posting save percentages under .900 in 2019-20 and 2020-21. Last season, the Senators briefly sent him to the minors.
Since 2019-20, his last season with Pittsburgh, Murray has compiled a 35-36-8 record with a 3.06 goals-against average and an .899 save percentage in 85 games.
Murray also has a history of concussions, having suffered a season-ending one March 4 when teammate Nikita Zaitsev crashed into him and two in an eight-month span in 2018.
The Sabres have $34,054,166 of projected salary cap space, according to capfriendly.com, so Adams has the ability to take on another team’s “bad” contract and receive an asset.
Murray played for Sabres assistant coach Mike Bales, who’s in charge of Buffalo’s netminders, when he was Pittsburgh’s goalie coach.
Right now, the Sabres only have one goalie, Craig Anderson, under contract. Anderson, 41, signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal last week. Prospect Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, 23, is a restricted free agent. Veteran Dustin Tokarski, 32, is an unrestricted free agent.
Anderson, the NHL’s oldest goalie, battled neck and hip injuries last season, missing 35 games and playing 31 times. It’s unlikely given his advanced age and recent injury history he can handle a 50-game load.
Last year, after goalies Carter Hutton and Linus Ullmark left when free agency opened, the Sabres signed Anderson and goalie Aaron Dell to one-year deals late in the day. Dell, who played 12 games for the Sabres, is also an unrestricted free agent.
In addition to Luukkonen, who played nine NHL games last season, the Sabres have Northeastern’s Devon Levi, the NCAA’s top goalie goalie in 2021-22, in the pipeline.
Adams has made it clear he won’t overpay for any stopgap solutions. If the Sabres can’t find a goalie to their liking, perhaps Luukkonen could start this season in the NHL.
“We’ll be in different conversations, for sure,” Adams said of acquiring another goalie. “I think we feel that anything we do we want to do it being smart and making sure that we’re planning how we’re building out a roster. But we’ve done the work. …
“A big piece of this was Craig Anderson believing in the team he has in front of him, that he can come back, he’s feeling good, he’s healthy, and where we feel UPL is at his development. I had a good meeting with his agent today just to talk about that, where he’s projecting down the road.”
Sabres forward prospect Aleksandr Kisakov, who recently signed his entry-level contract, attended the draft Thursday.
The Sabres hope Kisakov, a second-round pick in 2021, 53rd overall, can attend development camp next week. The Russian, 19, is going through the visa process, Adams said.
Prior to the draft, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman asked for a moment of silence to honor San Jose Sharks scout and former NHL defenseman Bryan Marchment, who passed away suddenly Wednesday.
Fans booed Bettman mercilessly, a draft tradition, during his other comments.
Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis, an undrafted Hall of Famer, received a rousing ovation when he walked out on stage before the draft started.
“It took me 47 years to finally be at my first draft,” he told the crowd. “And it was worth the wait.”
Fans even serenaded St. Louis with an “ole, ole, ole” chant.
Minutes later, the crowd roared again when the Canadiens drafted Slovakian forward Juraj Slafkovsky first overall.
Notes: Adams said the Sabres tried to move up from the ninth pick. “We talked to every team and had gone through different scenarios,” he said. “But you realize that it’s very rare when teams move top picks.”… Adams said the Sabres plan to give qualifying offers to Brandon Biro, Brett Murray and Arttu Ruotsalainen, their restricted free agent forwards. … The Sabres have eight picks today during the final six rounds.

Loyola University Chicago President and CEO Michael J. Garanzini will step down from both those jobs June 30 and will become the school’s chancellor, the university announced Thursday.
The board of trustees has appointed John Pelissero, the university’s provost and chief academic officer, as interim president, starting July 1. A member of Loyola’s political science faculty for 30 years, Pelissero joined the administration in 2003 when he served as associate provost for curriculum development until 2005.
The university said Garanzini’s move, after 14 years as leader, will enable him “to satisfy the ever-increasing demands of his position as Secretary for Higher Education for the Society of Jesus, in which he is tasked with promoting Jesuit higher education around the world.”
As chancellor, Garanzini will serve in an advisory capacity “to advance strategic projects, assist the University’s advancement division with fundraising, and consult on international programs, as requested by the President and the Board of Trustees,” the university said in a statement.
“It’s been a wonderful 14 years, and I am grateful for this opportunity to have served as President of Loyola University Chicago,” Garanzini said in a statement. “It’s really been a privilege and a great honor.”
During his tenure, the university saw significant growth in enrollment, and its endowment also has nearly doubled. Loyola also saw the transformation of its four main campuses and the early completion of a $500 million capital campaign, the university trustees said.
Loyola recently announced it plans to open a new two-year college for local low-income students; that institution will be aimed at motivating the students to finish their degrees with little to no outstanding debt.
“It is impossible to overstate the impact that Father Garanzini has had on the revitalization of Loyola over the past 14 years,” said Robert L. Parkinson Jr., chairman and CEO of Baxter International Inc., a double Loyola alumnus and chairman of the university’s board of trustees.
The university expects to retain a search firm that will help a small group — primarily board members — conduct a national search for Loyola’s next leader. Jesuit and lay leaders will be considered for the position.


The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp program, will come to an end June 15, 2015, according to Department of Agriculture executive Thomas J. Vilsack.
“SNAP benefits cost $76.4 billion in fiscal year 2013. A large portion of which went to abusers of the program. In an attempt to save the program for those who truly need it, we reduced the amount per household paid out in 2014. That did not do us much good, either,” said Vilsack in a brief press conference on Friday morning.
The $76 billion dollars spent on SNAP supplied about 47.6 million Americans assistance, for an average of $133 per month, half of which Vilsack says actually needed it.
“A great portion of those 47 million people who received SNAP benefits have jobs that fly in under the radar, they get paid cash under the table, and obviously do not pay taxes. They are abusing the program,” said Vilsack. “This has painted us into a corner, we knew it was going on, we just didn’t realize the dramatic extent of abuse. We feel absolutely defeated. Now the families who need it and deserve it will go without. That is a tragedy. However the money is gone, the White House will not supply us further assistance. If you want to eat, you’ll have to go to work.”
The announcement has infuriated those who depend on assistance, such as Mary Parker of Washington, D.C., who was nearly brought to tears when asked her opinion. “It’s a damn shame our government can’t step up for us and pay for our food. I got five children that depend on it. I don’t know what I’m gonna do now. I guess I’ll actually have to get a job.”
There are also those who agree with the decision, like Jim Conrad of Jersey City, New Jersey. “It’s about time. People like me work their entire lives, pay taxes, and even when we could have used help, we never asked for help, we learned how to take care of our own, on our own. You got people illegally moving into the country, working under the table, taking over the construction trade, they get paid cash and they get food stamps? It has to stop. It is about damn time we stop letting people, especially foreign and lazy people, abuse the system. Make them fend for themselves!”
President Obama, who worked with the Department of Agriculture in shutting down the program, said that the time has come for Americans to make their own way, and that the current system was obviously too broken to repair.
“It’s unclear how we can help families in need in the future because of those people who abused the current SNAP program,” said President Obama. “Sadly, we can’t do anything further for the actual needy at the moment. We simply asked that people be honest out of American pride, and our people have failed us. It is, to say the least, very disheartening.”
Officials for the Department of Agriculture had no further comment.

Ian Wright makes bleak Man United prediction about Jose Mourinho
The Arsenal legend believes Jose Mourinho will struggle to reverse Manchester United's ailing fortunes
Ian Wright believes Jose Mourinho will be unable to turnaround his ailing fortunes at Manchester United.
The Red Devils end up in second place in the Premier League table last term to secure their best finish since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
Manchester United finished the 2017-18 season a staggering 19 points adrift of runaway Premier League champions Manchester City.
Mourinho signed Shakhtar Donetsk star Fred, FC Porto defender Diogo Dalot and Stoke City goalkeeper Lee Grant in the summer transfer window.
Manchester United missed out on some key targets in the summer transfer window as the Red Devils to strengthen at centre-half and right winger.
The Red Devils were 2-1 winners against Leicester City at Old Trafford to make a positive start to the season.
However, Manchester United lost 3-2 to Huddersfield Town in their second Premier League outing to heap pressure on Mourinho.
The Portuguese head coach is reportedly embroiled with power battles involving Paul Pogba and Ed Woodward.
Former Arsenal star Wright believes Mourinho is facing a bleak future at Manchester United.
“These days a trip to Old Trafford is only a great one to relish because of the stadium — certainly nothing to really chill the bones aside of that,” Wright told The Sun.
“And the saddest thing of all when I look at United under Jose Mourinho? As much as I respect him as a manager, I can’t see any way it is going to turn around.”
He added: “We all know about Jose and his third-year syndrome. But, listening to him talk, it’s as though even he has accepted it himself.”
Manchester United finished in second spot in the Premier League table last term to ensure their continued participation in the Champions League.
The Red Devils lost 1-0 to Chelsea FC in the FA Cup final at Wembley last term.

It’s not hard to like Phoenix. The French quartet has spent the better part of the last decade making one infectiously sunny pop-rock tune after another. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is their fourth album, and it doesn’t find the band undertaking any radical reinventions of their sound. Produced by Philippe Zdar of Cassius, the record perhaps features a little more electronic sheen than usual (“Rome”), but for the most part, Phoenix does what they do best—craft breezy pop songs with just a hint of funk to get your hips shaking. The toe-tapping disco-pop of “Lisztomania” and the fuzzy bounce of “1901” rank among the band’s best work, and will undoubtedly be stuck on repeat on many an iPod this summer.

German giants BMW and Daimler are rooting for a bailout of the Big Three, since a bankrupt Detroit would devastate sales and cripple parts-makers they all share, Bloomberg reports. The US is the top market for BMW, No. 2 for Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz. Meanwhile, Fiat, Peugeot, and Renault—which compete with GM and Ford in Europe—worry the bailout will unfairly sway competition.
Purchased parts account for 75% of a car’s value, so a hit to component makers would resonate throughout the industry. “You can’t underestimate what would happen when a large player collapses,” BMW’s CEO says. Its stock went up today, as did Daimler’s, partially from optimistic news of the American bailout. An association of European automakers is asking for $52 billion of low-interest loans and incentives from the EU.

In this podcast I read as far along as I’ve gotten on the questionnaire that I’ve been working on. It still needs a lot of work over the next few weeks. The idea is to pose about fifty questions that may expose this strange reality to a “normal person.” Of course, I don’t expect to “wake anyone up.”
It may simply get a few people thinking. When the questions are finalized, perhaps I can work with one of you on some interesting formatting for the questionnaire in a program like Adobe InDesign or, in some way, the PDF questionnaire can take on an creative look so it can be passed and shared?
Can a questionnaire really expose “the body snatched?” Yes, in a way, I think it can. Anyone who could “take this test” and still think things are normal in the world are “on the download,” and are in a sense…. mind and body snatched!

I’m looking forward to relaxing and unwinding a bit this weekend – maybe heading up to Central Park for a picnic, doing some hot yoga, and meeting friends for brunch (I’ve been dying to try Two Hands and Egg Shop.) I just bought this book which came highly recommended so I am excited to dive into that. Here’s a few things I’m coveting this week… the color of this bag is dreamy, Mikoh makes the best swimsuits, this is such a beautiful color of polish, I love everything about this white lace skirt, and this bronzer works like a charm. Enjoy your weekend!

CAPE TOWN - Pravin Gordhan has renewed his call for all South Africans to stand up and fight against state capture.
The former Finance Minister has also taken another shot at the controversial Gupta family. Gordhan said that the sooner the family leaves South Africa, the better it will be for the country as a whole.
Gordhan made these comments at the Congress of Business and Economics Recognition Awards in Johannesburg over the weekend. “I haven’t heard a single voice yet that says to the Gupta family, ‘You don’t represent who we are. You don’t reflect our ethos or our principles. In fact, the sooner you get out of South Africa the better it will be for all of us.”
For Gordhan, state capture is like a cancer that is permeating this country every day, both in the private and public sector.
Gordhan the former Deputy Minister of Finance Mcebisi Jonas received recognition for their continued service to SA at the awards ceremony. The two men dedicated their awards to the men and women at Treasury and Sars.
Both ministers were fired this year by President Zuma in one of his many Cabinet reshuffles. In late October Gordhan was said to receive an award for ethical excellence from the Business Ethics Network of Africa (BEN-Africa).
BEN-Africa awarded the Order of Baobab to Gordhan for moral courage.

The Sri Lankan government has appointed top private sector professionals, Ananda Atukorala and Suresh Kumar Shah to oversee the restructuring of Sri Lanka’s State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), a government spokesperson told Finance Today.
Ananda Atukorala, a renowned banking sector professional, has been appointed to lead the Government’s newly formed Public Private Partnership (PPP) Unit, while Suresh Kumar Shah, the founding CEO of Lion Brewery, the current Chairman of the Ceylon Tobacco Company PLC (CTC), and a veteran chartered accountant, has been appointed to head the SOE restructuring unit.
According to the spokesman, the relevant appointments were made last week, and final negotiations regarding the assignment of functions to the relevant new institutions and the recruitment of new employees are currently taking place.
The newly launched PPP unit provides assistance in formulating regulations, creating privatisation frameworks, and preparing government assets and services identified for privatisation to ensure quality outcomes. Unit head Atukorala was the Chairman of National Development Bank PLC (NDB) from August 2016 until the date of retirement in April 2019. He possesses extensive experience in banking extending over 40 years.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe stated in Parliament while presenting the Interim Budget 2022 that the government has decided to establish a SOE Restructuring Unit with a Rs 200 million budget allocation to facilitate with the restructuring of state-owned firms.
Some SOEs have been losing money for a long time due to structural issues, the President said, adding that the Treasury cannot continue to fund these entities and that a mechanism to make them more effective must be found.
The reform of inefficient SOEs is also an essential requirement under the recent staff-level agreement reached by Sri Lanka with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It recommends that the Ceylon Electricity Board, Ceylon Petroleum Corporation, and Sri Lankan Airlines, which have a significant influence on the Government’s budget, be restructured immediately.
At the same time, the Government recently agreed to offer 20% of Bank of Ceylon and People’s Bank stake to employees and depositors. It is done to strengthen their capital base.
The Government is also considering divesting its other key strategic and non-strategic assets to
fulfil its short to medium term ‘bridge finance’ needs, as friendly nations are unable to fulfill our future ‘bridge finance’ requirements.The Government was planning to raise at least three billion dollars through this initial divesting process.
“We have already lined up at least 10 state enterprises for this initial divesting process,” a government spokesman asserted.
Speaking to Finance Today, he also said, “By the end of this year, there is a 50:50 probability of getting the IMF executive board approval of our economic adjustment programme”.
Unlike on earlier occasions, this time Sri Lanka seeking the IMF balance of payment (BoP) support with a highly unsustainable debt status quo.
Therefore, in order to make our debt sustainable, firstly the country has to launch a successful debt restructuring programme. It will sometimes be a very complex and time consuming process as the country must reach a broad agreement with all creditors.
As a result, Sri Lanka will deliver a presentation to its foreign creditors on Friday, outlining the entire scope of its economic difficulties as well as preparations for debt restructuring and a multi-billion dollar IMF bailout.
In a statement issued through the law firm Clifford Chance, the Ministry of Finance stated that an online call on September 23 would be available to all of its foreign creditors and would be “an interactive session” in which participants may ask questions.
Apart from that, the country has to undergo a rapid economic reform process under very adverse economic conditions to reduce the budget deficit and obtain the current account surplus of the BoP.
“These proposed reforms have not happened in this country in recent years. Therefore, getting public approval for the ongoing economic reform process might be a somewhat complicated and unpopular process”, he added.
Due to this complex scenario, he believes that it may take longer than the expected period to reach the final agreement with the IMF.
Therefore, until such agreement with the IMF is reached, the Government has now focused on selling shares owned by the Government in several state enterprises to meet the ‘bridge finance’ requirements of the country.
He also stated that the Government’s attention has been focused on handing over the Government’s ownership of several sectors such as hotels, insurance, hospitals, telecommunications services, port services, power and energy sectors, airlines, state and private banks etc. in whole or in part to foreign investors via PPP arrangements as per the foreign currency requirements of the country.

2016 will mark the first time in five years that there will be no raise in Social Security benefits, CNN Money reports.
Each year the Social Security Administration measures inflation and will generally increase benefits to account for an inclined rate. Benefits increased by 1.7% in 2015 and rose by under 2% in the three previous years as well.
This year the inflation rate decreased by 0.6%, so Social Security benefits will remain flat for the first time since 2011. Unfortunately for retirees, the way that the SSA measures inflation does not reflect the way that senior citizens spend their money.
The declined rate of inflation is largely due to lower gas prices, which saw a huge 30% drop this year. The average American who drives to and from work largely benefits from the reduced price of oil, but most senior citizens don’t. Healthcare and food make up a large portion of what retirees tend to spend their money on, both of which have become increasingly expensive.

HealthLine – There’s no doubt inappropriate behavior while drinking can be embarrassing.
But drinkers might want to pay more attention to the long-term health risks.
“As we age, alcohol takes longer for the body to break down alcohol,” Dr. Brad Lander, a psychologist and addiction medicine specialist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, told Healthline.
Lander detailed a host of drinking-related health risks that come with age, including decreased tolerance, problems with balance and reaction time that can lead to accidents, intensifying existing health conditions, early onset dementia, certain cancers, depression, and decreased sexual functioning.
The study notes various reasons why this demographic chooses to drink. Chief among them is relaxation, but other reasons come down to social roles, including reinforcing gender norms.
While it might seem with the stress of everyday life that this group might be the most likely to develop problematic drinking habits, that isn’t necessarily the case.
Lander points out that he and his colleagues have treated adolescents as well as people in their 80s for alcoholism, along with all ages in between.
“As a person ages, they become more vulnerable to developing alcoholism,” he noted.
“Seniors may drink more to seek relief from boredom, loneliness, and grief that are common with aging. Interestingly, among seniors, women are more likely than men to develop alcoholism.”
Drawing the line between moderate, safe consumption and the kind of drinking that can lead to alcoholism can be tricky.
Lander says it’s a personal matter that can vary from person to person.
“The rule of thumb is, if drinking is causing any health problems — health, relationship, functioning, emotional — then it is too much,” he advises.
“According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the recommended limits for the average senior are no more than seven drinks in a week and no more than three drinks in one day.” Read more.

Cardi B Name Drops Her Daughter On New DJ Khaled Collab & Fans React! Cardi B has seemingly transitioned from making those “money moves” to getting that “Big Paper,” owing to the way she celebrated this success on DJ Khaled’s new album. In “Big Paper,” that dropped today, Friday (April 30) as part of Khaled Khaled, Cardi gets to reunite with the legendary producer for another track, sending a message to all her haters: “I get big paper, so I deal with big haters.” Cardi goes to the extent of name dropping her two-year-old daughter, Kulture, in one of her disses.
“I son b–ches, move Kulture out thе car seat,” she spits in one verse, which left fans talking. “Cardi had to be pissed,” said one fan in a tweet after quoting the diss, while another fan quoted the same line and saying, “Cardi went crazy on Big Paper!”
LIVE FOOTAGE OF CARDI TELLING KULTURE TO GET OUT OF HER CAR SEAT BECAUSE SHE’S ABOUT TO SON ME pic.twitter.com/WHddLh5sBy— malik (@MalikLied) April 30, 2021
CARDI SAID “I SON BITCHES MOVE KULTURE OUT THE CARSEAT” Girl ?— ??????? (??? ???????) (@iconicardi) April 30, 2021
It’s almost hard to imagine that Khaled Khaled was almost dropping without this Cardi feature. DJ Khaled shared the track listing on Tuesday (Apr. 27), and the album was already overflowing with high profile features: Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, DaBaby, Justin Bieber Lil Baby, Rick Ross, A Boogie Wit A Hoodie, Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, not to forget a track that featured both Nas and JAY-Z. That alone is a massive level of features, only for Khaled to announce on Thursday (Apr. 29), that Cardi got her vocals in on time and “Big Paper” would be part of the new project.
This song marks the third time Cardi B and DJ Khaled have joined forces. They previously connected on “Dinero,” Jennifer Lopez’s 2018 track, as well as Khaled’s “Wish Wish” in 2019 featuring 21 Savage, who connected with Justin Bieber on “Let It Go” on Khaled Khaled.) “Big Paper” becomes Cardi’s second major hit of 2021, after the chart-topping “Up.”

Californians Unite to Protect Drinking H20 Supply
Friday, July 26, 2013
SAN DIEGO – Californians are uniting to protect the river that provides drinking water to about 20 million people in the Southland.
The second annual Colorado River Day was held Thursday in San Diego and five other Western cities to highlight the river's continuing challenge of supply versus demand.
Megan Baehrens, executive director of San Diego Coastkeeper, says 70 to 90 percent of the region's water comes from the Colorado River.
"So, it's incumbent upon us as stewards of our own community and stewards of the Colorado River and the water we use from it, to take care of it," she said.
California has more people depending upon Colorado River water than any other state. Plus, more than a half million acres of the state's farmland is irrigated by the river.
Baehrens says the Department of the Interior and leaders of the seven Western states are meeting to determine the next steps in river conservation.
"While San Diego alone can't have an impact,” she says, “it's the seven different states, the Department of the Interior, all of us working together to improve how we manage that water and do what we can to conserve it.”
A recent study concluded the easiest and most cost effective way to address the imbalance on the Colorado River is to improve urban and agricultural water conservation.

How to Tell If Your Dog Has Hair or Fur
Updated On: Thursday, June 29, 2023 15:10:16 PM America/Los_Angeles
Dogs with hair have gained popularity as a hypoallergenic option for would-be pet pawrents who may be allergic to fur but remain devoted to living with a canine companion. But how can you tell if a dog breed actually has fur or hair? In addition to learning which breeds have hair and which have fur, there are some notable differences that can be felt and seen between the two.
Photo by Fernanda Nuso
Spot the Difference Between Hair and Fur
What is the difference between hair and fur on dogs? be curly and short as with poodles or long and straight as with Afghan Hounds. Fur tends to be shorter, and is predisposed to a certain length. Hair on dogs, on the other hand, grows continuously as hair does for humans. A fur undercoat can also feel quite different from the outer coat, while hair generally feels the same throughout. Hair usually grows in a single layer and feels relatively thin, while fur – especially before coats are blown – can feel thick and heavy.
The undercoat is a major difference between hair and fur, and dogs with undercoats will blow their coats seasonally. This seasonal shedding is one thing to keep in mind for pet owners who have allergies, as thick, furry coats not only trap and hold more dander, they also lead to more allergens being shed around the home.
Which Dogs Have Hair and Which Dogs Have Fur?
Poodles have become one of the most well-known dog breeds with hair, but they’re not the only ones! Some other well-known breeds that have hair are:
- Yorkshire Terriers
- Afghan Hounds
- Bichon Frisés
Should Fur and Hair Be Groomed Differently?
While dog fur and hair have significant differences, all dogs should be groomed regularly to ensure a healthy skin and coat. Both fur and hair can become dirty, matted, and tangled if not brushed and washed.
For dogs with longer hair or coats, particular attention should be paid to the butt, as fur and hair in that area can easily get dirty and matted from going potty. Having an indoor dog bathroom can help pet pawrents keep a closer eye on their pups’ hygiene. A wee wee pad also minimizes the opportunity for twigs and grass to get tangled in the coat. Subscribe to DoggieLawn today for a pet potty that helps keep your dog fresh and clean, whether they have hair or fur!

The Big Picture, an awesome photo-blog that you should be reading, has a very cool set of photos of the Mount Redoubt eruptions in Alaska. I thought it was especially cool to see how the glacier on top of the mountain is collapsing as it melts from beneath.
Update: Just like last time the Big Picture posted volcano photos, global warming deniers are posting in the comments and claiming that volcanoes make much more CO2 than humans, and therefore global warming is not man-made. Luckily, another commenter (#37) posted a very well-researched response on the Big Picture site. The Hawaii Volcano Observatory has also addressed this question: “Which Produces More CO2, Volcanic or Human Activity?”
The answer: on average, volcanoes produce less than 1% as much CO2 as fossil fuels do.
