SEATTLE — A chain-link fence decorated in barbed wire protected the east side of Husky Stadium when Jim Lambright made his first visit to the University of Washington football field in the fall of 1957.
Lambright, a sophomore at Everett High School, went to the game with a couple buddies but without tickets. They soon encountered the chain-link fence and, as if sneaking past a gritty offensive tackle, they maneuvered around a small opening in the barbed wire and arrived inside the stadium.
Fifty-six years later, after a distinguished career at UW as a player and coach, Lambright, 71, can’t recall the opponent or the score that day. But he knew the Huskies won, and he knew he was hooked.
“I remember looking around, being big-eyed, mouth open,” Lambright said. “It was unbelievable.”
He fully expects everyone heading into the new, $280 million Husky Stadium to have a similar reaction when the facility formally reopens at 5 p.m. Saturday, two hours before the Huskies kick off the 2013 season against Boise State.
The barbed wire is gone, and so too is virtually everything else that was, at least literally, connected to the stadium on Lambright’s first visit. What remains is what has made it one of the most iconic venues in college sports since it was built for $600,000 in 1920: the views of Lake Washington and the Cascade and Olympic mountains.
Just as important for fans, the potential of winning football remains, too. More than ever, fans could have a bigger role in that.
Husky Stadium has undergone four major renovations in its history, changing from a small 30,000-capacity bowl in 1920, to one of the nation’s most iconic college football stadiums. The photo below shows the stadium on opening day, Nov. 27, 1920, when the Huskies lost to Dartmouth, 28-7. Back then, the stadium was called Washington Field. Tickets cost $1.
Lambright will be there Saturday night; no way would he miss it. He has a premium seat in the new south-side stands, but he won’t be sitting in it. Instead, after securing a field pass — no sneaky maneuvers needed this time — he’ll watch from the UW sideline.
“I like being where all the action is,” he said.
Some 70,000 other fans will be much, much closer to the action, too. The most noticeable change to the stadium will be the removal of the track that had separated fans from the field. The field has been lowered about 4 feet, and the separation from fans is almost nonexistent now; the corners of the west end zone are just 20 feet from the base of the stands on that end, and at the 50-yard line the field is just 48 feet from the stands. All of which will make the game days a more intimate experience for fans, UW athletic director Scott Woodward said.
The vintage overhanging roofs already gave the Huskies home-field advantage; crowd noise couldn’t easily escape, bouncing off the bottom of the roof and back toward the field.
“Now, with the proximity of the fans to the field, I can imagine it’s only going to be even louder,” UW coach Steve Sarkisian said.
The stadium should provide other significant advantages, both in the short- and long-term.
The revenues the stadium is expected to generate should help the UW athletic department keep up with rivals in the ever-ballooning budgets of major college football programs.
“Football is 85 percent of our revenue and obviously this football stadium is the goose laying the golden egg,” said Woodward, who oversees a department that is projected to generate $95.6 million in revenues for 2013-14.
“I think this puts us in a very nice, competitive position compared to all our BCS counterparts,” he added.
The two-story 83,000-square-foot football operations center, built in as part of the west end of the stadium, offers ample space for players and coaches to train, study, recover and relax. The buildings’ amenities — from a hot tub to a two-seat barber’s room adjacent to the locker room shaped like a “W” — should also help with the all-important goal of attracting the attention of high-profile recruits.
Across the hall from the locker room, there’s a small, glass-encased “fitting room” that will feature the latest uniform designs for recruits to see. Sarkisian’s office, located on the second floor, is the penthouse suite, with a fireplace, views of the field and lake; the coaches’ locker room on the bottom floor features a steam room and a sauna.
“When recruits come in here, I don’t know where else they’re going to go in the country and see better,” Sarkisian said.
In designing the new stadium, UW faced paradoxical demands from fans and alumni: change it all, they said, but don’t change too much.
Mission accomplished, Woodward said.
“You wanted the old tradition of Husky Stadium, but you wanted it in a modern facility,” he said. “And that’s a hard thing to do, but I think the contractors and the architects and developers delivered just that. … I’m proud of it, and I think fans are going to very pleased.”
Before kickoff, UW players and coaches will continue to make the traditional march out of the tunnel in the northwest corner of the stadium. The difference now is — with the new locker room located in the bottom floor of the football operations center, and not in Hec Edmundson Pavilion — the trek from the tunnel to the field is only about 100 feet, roughly a quarter of what it was before.
On a related note, the visitors’ locker room, previously located around the corner from UW’s, has been moved to the other side of the stadium. Opponents will now enter and exit the field from the southeast corner — a change that, Lambright said, will eliminate some of the fights that broke out from time to time between opposing players having to mingle in the tunnel.
Fans will take notice of the permanent stands in the east bleachers, and the high-definition video board rising above, with “HUSKY STADIUM” purple letters marking its place across the top. Below all that are a dozen field-level suites, much like those at the Seahawks’ CenturyLink Field. (Those weren’t part of the original $250 million budget, but Woodward said the field suites are “value-added” pieces that contributed to the cost rising about $30 million.)
The north-side roof and upper-deck bleachers are all that remains of the old stadium, but they did get a face-lift with new paint and new speakers, Woodward said. In all, UW says there are more than 700 flat-screen televisions in the stadium; that includes 42-inch TVs in the concourses and 55-inch TVs in the luxury suites.
Concession stands sell $4 “jumbo” hot dogs, and for the hungriest Dawg fans it’s $3 more for chili with cheese on top. From the concourse toward the field, fans will walk under a 3-foot by 3-foot “W” backlit in white and surrounded by dark finished pine from British Columbia, giving you the feel as if you’re walking into a living room, not a football game.
Including suites, there are 447 bathrooms in all and — yippee! — no more troughs in the men’s restrooms. Lambright chuckled as he recalled the days when athletic department staffers had to walk around to the stadium restrooms in the winter. The pipes would freeze if the toilets didn’t get flushed regularly, he said.
Indeed, Lambright continues to be linked to Husky Stadium all these years later. Since 2005, he has worked as a team-building consultant for Turner Construction, which in 2010 won the bid to build Husky Stadium. Lambright has served as a go-between for the athletic department and the construction company during the project. There weren’t any major hurdles he heard of throughout the 22-month rebuild, and he’s hoping any hiccups during Saturday’s grand reopening will be only minor.
The one concern he has is the postgame scene. With seats so close now, even ramped-up security might not be enough to stop a flood of fans from going over the 8-foot-tall railing and onto the field in celebration, if it comes to that.
Will the new proximity be too much for crowd-management staff to handle?
“That,” Lambright said, “is a nice problem to have, isn’t it?”

Liverpool hold hope over £100m Jadon Sancho transfer advantage because of Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool hope that manager Jurgen Klopp’s relationship with ex-club Borussia Dortmund will help them get a deal £100milion deal for Jadon Sancho over the line in the summer.
Klopp managed Dortmund for seven years and won two Bundesliga titles with the club, before reaching the Champions League final.
He then moved to Liverpool in 2015 and has since become one of the best managers in the world.
Sancho joined Dortmund from Manchester City in 2017 and has gone on to become one of the most exciting young players in world football.
And, according to the Daily Mail, Liverpool want to sign him.
The Reds are also hoping that Klopp’s fruitful relationship with Dortmund can give them a leg up in the race for the England international’s signature.
City are said to be interested in bringing Sancho back to the Etihad, however.
- Reece James told to consider change because of Trent Alexander-Arnold
But reports in the last few days have suggested that Sancho is keen on a move to Manchester United instead.
Sancho, however, could be tempted by Liverpool’s dominance and their new-found knack of winning trophies.
Sancho is said to be good mates with Liverpool stars Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Klopp’s sole January signing was Takumi Minamino, and he also failed to do any major transfer business in last summer’s window.
- Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea given key Jadon Sancho advice
That could mean a deal for Sancho in the summer is very much on the cards.
Klopp did say in January, however, that he would find it difficult to improve his current squad.
“Buying English players is a smart idea because we would never have a chance to get Sancho,” he said.
“We are not blind — we saw him, we liked him and then we think, “Can we get him?” No.
“Because English clubs don’t sell to other English clubs.”

It seems it’s not just Primark’s Chip purse that has left shoppers in a frenzy – as their latest, sold out item has left customers searching the internet far and wide for the next best thing.The world's best hotels for sex
However, this item isn’t Disney – it doesn’t even represent a much-loved character. This time, people are going mad for a cute gingham dress with floaty sleeves.
As soon as the blue and white dress came on the market a month ago, savvy shoppers were pre-ordering it, but apparently, it has been so popular that the dress is selling incredibly fast – with it already being sold out in some stores, according to the Liverpool Echo.
The gorgeous dress costs just £15, and according to Primark Features, reminds most of The Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy.
Style editor Jodie Jones said: ‘Purists who prefer tradition should get our darling dirndl dress on their shopping list, ASAP.
‘From the soft bell sleeves to the nipped-in waist, this beauty will transport your gal pals to Emerald City, in a totes jel tornado.’
Sadly, though, if you can’t find the dress in your local store, and if you really want a gingham dress to accompany your red, magical heels with, you’re going to have to look to eBay – where the dress is currently being sold for double the price.
Much like with the Chip purse, shoppers have noticed how popular the Primark items have been and instead of enjoying them for themselves, have decided to cash in on them.
Not really fair on those who genuinely just wanted to buy and wear the dress – but a great money-making scheme nonetheless.
And it seems it’s now the only way you’re going to get your hands on the dress if you still want one, as a spokesperson for Primark told Metro.co.uk: ‘The gingham dress was very popular, so much so that it has now sold through and will not be coming back into store!’


Mila Kunis is craving vinegar based foods and she is stinking up her kitchen at home every time she opens the sauerkraut jar. She eats sauerkraut throughout the day, along with pickles, she told Ellen when she recently appeared on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show."
According to ABC News on May 9, Mila is adamant about having a "natural birth." The another reveal of "That 70s Show" alum, is that she couldn't say enough nice things about her husband-to-be, Ashton Kutcher. When Mila was through with the interview, most likely every woman in the viewing audience gave Ashton an A+ as husband and expectant father material.
Mila said that Ashton was prepared ahead of time for her pregnancy cravings to begin. One night while the two were watching TV she just had to have a pickle. Ashton told her to wait a minute and went out into the backyard to their "secondary fridge" and brought her back the most "amazing dill pickle of all time."
Ashton stocked that fridge with lots of "weird food" that pregnant women often crave. From pickles to ice cream he had it covered. Mila is Russian and speaks the language, but Ashton wants their child to learn his or her mom's native language.
He has been taking Russian lessons for the last six months so he too can talk to their child in Russian, according to Philly.com today. This guy sounds like quite the catch. It also shows how much he adores Mila to want to share all aspects of her life and wanting their baby to celebrate Mila's roots as well as his own.
While Mila was on Ellen she also said that she wants to have a natural birth. She is not wanting an epidural and she almost decided to give birth at home with a midwife. Instead they decided on the hospital because the hospital they are using has a midwife.
She said the only reason she would opt out of a natural birth is if some type of emergency came up, but that's not expected to happen. She also would not reveal the name they have picked out for the baby and she kept her due date under wraps.
Mila did say she was due to give birth "sometime this year!" There you have it, Mila is doing well in her pregnancy except for stinking up their kitchen with sauerkraut and Ashton will be speaking fluent Russian in no time. This Hollywood power couple seem so normal!

Former WA Attorney General on QAnon theory claiming Trump will be president on March 4
A lot of the people who invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 were part of QAnon, which believes that the United States is not actually run by a Constitution anymore. They believe the country is actually a corporation due to an act in 1871, therefore there are parts of the Constitution that need not be obeyed.
Former state Attorney General Rob McKenna looked into the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871, which established D.C. as a corporation, and he says it does not completely subvert the Constitution.
“What a relief, right? It did not,” McKenna said. “It simply repealed the individual charters of the city of Washington and the city of Georgetown and established a new territorial government for the entire District of Columbia. By doing this, they created a single municipal government or municipal corporation, as municipalities are typically called.”
Washington D.C. is a municipal corporation that is organized as a federal territory, McKenna explained, because in the early days of the Republic, they didn’t want the nation’s capital to be in a state.
Now, as a consequence of this 1871 act, there are people who sincerely believe that whatever happened under the Constitution after that act is null and void.
“Right, because they claim that the act of 1871 didn’t just create a municipal corporation, it turned the quote ‘United States into a corporation,’ which apparently is secretly controlled by international bankers, and we’re actually owned by foreign entities as a result of that,” McKenna said. “But it means that any enactments after that date are not actually valid.”
“But it’s important to understand that QAnon is picking up an idea that’s been around a while that has been promoted by the sovereign citizen movement, which consists of people who believe they’re not subject to the laws of the United States or any of the other governments,” he added. “So [it’s] the collision of one set of conspiracy theorists and believers with another.”
If there’s no Constitution and D.C. is a corporation, who runs the country? Do we have to obey laws?
“Sovereign citizens say we don’t because they believe that the original Constitution was ‘thrown in the dustbin’ by the act of 1871,” McKenna said. “But it means that any enactment of Congress after 1871 isn’t valid in their view. And that would include the 20th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which established the end date of the terms of the president and vice president.”
“It used to be that the president and vice president’s terms ran until March 4, which is why, until 1936, the president was inaugurated on March 4. The original idea was that they should have more time to get to D. C., there should be more time to process the election results and the like,” he continued. “So if the 20th Amendment is not actually valid then that means that the real inauguration is March 4 and the QAnon people grabbed onto that to say, ‘Ah, well, then President Trump is going to be re-inaugurated as president, but it’s going to happen on March 4.'”
“It’s a little hard to get your head around because it doesn’t really make any sense,” McKenna added.
If they were to take over, there would be no government, McKenna explained.
“The economy would definitely tank if we didn’t have rule of law,” he said. “It allows you to claim that the government has no power over you. And that might mean, for example, that the QAnon people who invaded the U.S. Capitol could claim that they’re not … subject to the jurisdiction of the United States for the criminal acts that they committed.”
If this were true, as Dave Ross pointed out, it’d also mean women can’t vote anymore.
“Good point, post-1871, yeah,” McKenna acknowledged.
When McKenna was Washington state’s attorney general, he says there were fortunately no serious incidents like what happened in Oregon some years back, but he did have the occasional run-in with folks.
“There are people who claim they don’t have to pay their taxes because they’re sovereign or they don’t have to obey other laws,” he said. “It’s not the way the social contract works. You don’t get to opt out based on your own theories. You don’t get to make up your own laws. We have a system for that. But there’s some people who just choose not to believe it. Just like there’s some people who choose to believe that man never landed on the moon, and that the Earth is actually flat, and so forth.”
“But, listen, at least the law of gravity was enacted before 1871, so obviously there’s that.”

Florida has tons of natural attractions, such as the Everglades National Park, but you’ll also find a lot of interesting people and places. And Florida atlantic tuition is a big part of that. In addition to being a popular vacation destination, it has a lot to offer, including great education system.
If I’m writing this, I don’t know how to get to the Florida Everglades, I have no idea.
There are a plethora of ways to get to Florida, including boat tours, but I have to admit I thought it was a good idea to skip the Florida Everglades.
My experience of Florida Atlantic University was limited to a few classes and a random campus tour. The only time I got to go on one of the university’s campuses was when I took the University of Florida’s Florida Atlantic University online course, which I attended through a separate program. The course was offered through the university’s public-facing website. The website is easy to navigate and offers tons of information about the university as well as access to a lot of the university’s social networking sites and online learning.
This is a fascinating lesson to have from a student who is forced to choose between his or her own personal taste in art and the art world. If you’re a student of art (and you’re not), it is very valuable to have a taste of art and to have the experience of art in your life. I’m not sure how to go about this, but I think it would be nice to have some tips for doing this.
To do this, you need to identify your personal preferences. Then, you need to build a list of what art or artists you would like to experience. You can build a list on your own, or use one of the many “art” lists you can find online. The best thing you can do is to make a list of your own. The best part about doing this is that you are creating a tangible record of what you want to experience in art.
You can use a list I made for myself, or one of your own to make sure you are being completely honest about what you want to experience. For example, my list is not complete just yet, but I have a list of artists I would like to see work with in a game. I would like to see paintings of me. I would like to see paintings of people I have never met, in a game.
You can have a list of your own. This is a list of your own, or your artworks, and you can add it up in a few places.
This isn’t an exhaustive list, and it is not necessarily a list of artists I would like to see work with, it is just a list of artists I would like to see art with. It is also not an exhaustive list of games that I would like to play, but I do have a list of games I would like to play in art.
In the world of online art sites, it is sometimes difficult to find a game that interests you. You can join an art site with a passion for the game and maybe even get a few friends to play with you, but you will always be limited if you just go to the top of the list and start adding up your own list of things you would like to see.

Photo: Noni fruit, the hero ingredient in Morinda’s Tahitian Noni Juice.
New independent research on Morinda’s Tahitian Noni Juice found that the superfood supplement aids in optimal weight loss.
A recent study by the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Science explored the effects of a low-calorie diet supplemented with Tahitian Noni Juice. The study included 90 participants between the ages of 30 and 50, all suffering from grade III obesity and clinically expressed secondary diastolic heart failure. Researchers split the patients into three groups, with two receiving daily servings of the juice and a control group simply maintaining the same diet.
At the conclusion of the 42-day study, weight loss varied among the participants, but muscle mass told a different story. The patients who solely restricted caloric intake lost an average of 8.5 percent muscle mass, while those who also took Tahitian Noni Juice lost only 3 to 4 percent muscle mass, on average. “The introduction of TNJ optimizes the effect of low calorie diet therapy on the body while preventing excess loss of muscle mass,” according to an abstract of the published research.
“Those who drank Tahitian Noni Juice experienced improved fat loss, preserved muscle mass, and improved anthropometric indices, such as waist and thigh circumference,” Morinda’s Senior Director of Research, Brett West, said in a statement. Researchers attributed the positive results to the iridoids and phenolics present in Tahitian Noni Juice. These chemical compounds, known to provide a range of health benefits, are found in numerous superfoods and plants used in traditional medicine.

The 35-year-old model recently updated her Instagram page with a new revealing selfie, in which Kardashian showed off her toned body while only wearing two-piece white lingerie.
The famous socialite wanted to share advice for her many fans on the importance of staying in shape, because she titled her provocative photo with the words “Blink and it will be summer.” Stay ready so you never have to prepare. “Khloe Kardashian’s New Lingerie Selfie Proved So Alluring That A Surprising Comment Even Came In From Her Baby Daddy, Tristan Thompson

Her house is full of flowers, and many of them come from Tristan. He sends her sweet texts and keeps telling her that he wants her to come back. Khloe appreciates the attention, but she still distrusts him in this regard.

LOS ANGELES — Carl Reiner, a driving force in American comedy as a writer for television pioneer Sid Caesar, partner of Mel Brooks and creator and co-star of the classic sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” has died at age 98, Variety reported on Tuesday.
Reiner died on Monday night of natural causes in his Beverly Hills, California, home, the entertainment news outlet said, citing the legendary comedian’s assistant, Judy Nagy.

Reiner’s career spanned seven decades and every medium from theater and recordings to television and movies, including directing “Oh, God!,” three collaborations with Steve Martin and a role as an elderly con man in the revived “Ocean’s Eleven” series.
He was still taking voice roles in his 90s and had a key role in “If You’re Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast,” a documentary about people who keep busy into their 90s.
Reiner is survived by three children, including Rob Reiner, director of several hit movies and known for playing Archie Bunker’s son-in-law “Meathead” in the hit TV comedy “All in the Family.” Reiner’s wife of 64 years, Estelle, died in 2008.
Reiner expressed his approach to his work in his book “My Anecdotal Life,” when he said, “Inviting people to laugh at you while you are laughing at yourself is a good thing to do. You may be the fool but you are the fool in charge.”

(Zingiber officinale) Ginger root is the rhizome or underground stem of this Asian plant. Ginger root can be harvested at any time, but plants require several months of hot and fairly humid conditions to make the maximum yield. Plants may reach 4 feet in height. Mature roots are plump and sleek outside, white, juicy and aromatic within. May be grown outdoors in full sun in most of the country, lifting mature roots before ground freezes in autumn. Replant smaller roots next spring, preferably starting early in a sunny windowsill or greenhouse. 2 plants.
Please consider these terms before ordering live plants:
Most plants will be 3”-7” in height. Plants will ship as available after the first of March to the end of
May. We will try to ship orders to southern zones first. No guaranteed exact delivery dates. Plants may
arrive too early and have to be kept inside until the weather warms. Plants may arrive late, as well.

While that's all good news, we of course have to remember that more ads do not equal more money. There's a huge chance that Marie Claire, despite the fact it's doing better than last year in terms of ad pages, didn't make much bank. (We won't know until the Publisher's Information Bureau releases 1st quarter sales figures in a couple of months.) Vogue's ad pages may be flat, but they claim not to negotiate rates, so are their results actually better? Regardless of whether this news means magazines will be able to bounce back from the recession's crushing ad market, titles are attempting to reach beyond the traditional avenues of growth. GQ, for instance, sold 12,000 January issues via iPhone for $2.99. Gotta start somewhere, right?

The Benefit of Trees in your Landscape Design
Landscape design seems to be an afterthought for many homeowners, especially when they have already put a lot of time and resources into planning, building, or renovating their home. But as Perth grows, so does the need for well designed landscapes, which wherever possible, should include trees. The urban heat island effect is a significant issue in Perth’s suburbs, which have been measured to be up to 10 degrees hotter than our rural areas. Green space and tree’s help to remedy this, with tree canopies providing much needed shade and cooling in the hot Summer months. Local governments are already doing their bit to plant more street trees and protect existing ones, but what about privately owned properties?
Urban infill is occurring throughout our suburbs and this often results in the felling of mature trees, to make room for new homes. With many building footprints and paved surfaces taking up the majority of sections, it can be hard to squeeze in any usable outdoor areas, let alone trees! This is where good landscape design comes in.
Many homeowners are unaware of the long list of benefits a well designed landscape, with trees can deliver, including increased property value, improved health and wellbeing, enhanced lifestyle and leisure, heightened ecological value, the list goes on! Landscape Designers in Perth have had to become experts in small space design, especially in new developments and urban infill areas and surprisingly, a beautiful and usable outdoor living environment can be created, even in the smallest of spaces.
Need Us To Help With Your Garden?
- Oh wow, where do I start . . . Right from our first contact with Luke we had a good feeling about it. Luke was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic to meet our needs. He provided us with some much needed direction for our gardening endeavours, was professional, and always available to answer our questions. Once we decided on a plan, he coordinated all of the services and items that were needed, and provided us with an exceptionally hard working, and skilled, landscaper in Derick. Luke visited the project on several occasions, to make sure we were happy with it’s progress, to make some minor tweaks here and there, or deliver something that was needed. Our landscape project was relatively small but we never felt like we didn’t matter. The project started on time, and finished on time, and the yard was left spick and span. It’s a vast improvement on what was there before it, and given it’s almost spring, it shouldn’t be long before our garden takes on it’s real shape. We could not be happier with the end result, the price, and the service that we received from Luke and Derick. If you are looking to have a landscaping job done, either big or small, I’d definitely recommend giving Luke a call.Rick and Clare
- I take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done. This is the second time I have used your services. Not only because you did such a good, clean and efficient job, but also the fact you responded to my inquiry in a professional and timely manner unlike many others who I had to recall and I still couldn’t get any response. I would also like to thank your staff who worked diligently until the job was done to our satisfaction particularly giving my wife and myself peace of mind. Therefore, I will always recommend your services to any family or friends, in fact if you need to send any prospective clients to view our garden feel free to do so. If you require any verbal reference feel free to have your client contact me. We wish you all the success in the future with your business.Aldo and Karen
- Luke's work has produced a beautiful Spring garden! Our home is now surrounded by a beautiful, healthy and blossoming Spring garden! All the hard work earlier in the year by Luke and his dedicated team is now evident - from the luscious green growth, to the well watered lawns. With the emphasis on the use of enriched soil, suitable plants and planting locations, plus the updating of the reticulation system - our garden will flourish for many years to come! Thanks Luke and your Team! P & J ChurchlandsP. Mahoney
- Our terrace house had a sad and seldom used rear courtyard which has absolutely no access other than via our living areas. This we thought would be a show-stopper but Luke’s landscaping had the expertise to take it on and swiftly provided us with a lovely design and costed implementation plan, which has simply transformed this area into a valuable extension of our living space. The construction work was carried out most diligently and despite having to transport removed debris, new limestone blocks and pavers, soil, mulch and many plants (including a very large tree) through our home, the professionalism of the whole process and the final cleanup left no sign of the major operation that had been undertaken, either internally or externally. Luke’s follow up on the project to address a couple of small issues has also been most helpful and certainly won’t hesitate in recommending Luke’s landscaping to others who have admired this transformed area! Thankyou.Catriona
- A huge thank you to the staff at Luke's Landscaping for the wonderful transformation of our front yard. It's gone from a sandpit to a gorgeous green oasis. The team worked so hard over the week to transform our gardens and we are very appreciative of the attention to detail and care they took.Christina and Darren
- Luke & his team did quite a large landscaping job for us. Lisa came up with a design that we loved & was involved from start to finish. Any little issues that came up along the way were dealt with quickly & efficiently. The quality of Mark’s work & his attention to detail were outstanding. We are thrilled with our new yard & highly recommend Luke’s Landscaping.Kelly

Given the avaricious as well as scandalous reign of the previous administration, it was thought that nothing worse could ever happen in the same way that everything right and proper was expected to take place as a matter of fact with the advent of a new government – daintily tied with a “Yellow Ribbon.” The impression and expectation was that with the advent of the present government, nothing could ever go wrong. Hence, upon the election of the now incumbent Chief-in-Command, there was some euphoria and great expectations on the part of the general public.
But lo and behold, it can be said with all sincerity and candor that life has in effect become more challenging to face and living has become more difficult to bear in the past three years or so. And the over-all result of all such marked liabilities in governance is not only the ever growing people’s discontent but also their emerging downright anger. And these political and socio-economic retrogressions are very much more than the infamous piggish graft and corrupt practices in Congress – without exactly exempting certain personages and agencies of the less and less trusted administration. The greasy handling of public funds is but one negative feature in the present government that has become harder and harder to believe in, to trust, and to depend on.
It all started with the Luneta debacle that alienated the Hong Kong people. Now it is the Zamboanga invasion. In between were, are fights with the Chinese, the skirmish with the Taiwanese. Then, there was the Saba fray. This is not to mention the Atimonan rubout plus the Ozamis gang termination. Neither is herein anything said about the perpetually maverick NPA. More recently, there is the miserable 10-peso daily wage increase vis-à-vis the ever increasing prices of food, gas, electricity, and other consumer goods. There is the magical up-and-up rising cost of rice notwithstanding its proclaimed sufficiency. And there is also gambling addiction being fomented plus prohibited drugs being found all around. Criminality is a matter of fact. The BOC officials are called thick-faced while the NBI leaders are considered suspects. Meantime, there is the ever-glowing publicity of an ever improving Philippine economy while more Filipinos remain jobless, more and more women OFW are exploited. And the “Pork Barrel” scandal? This is but icing on the cake, the tip of the iceberg!
With all – and more – of the above bad news one after another: What is wrong? Many things are wrong. Many things can be wrong. But there is one thing that is definitely wrong. “Questionable capacity in leadership?” “Questionable rationality in administration?” “Questionable understanding of the Philippines?” What? All?


When mysterious newcomer Austin revealed his full name was Austin Gatlin Holt, it rang some bells for longtime viewers who remember Jimmy Lee Holt on GENERAL HOSPITAL! But for those who don’t recall the character — or just want a refresher — we’re here to help with that! Jimmy Lee Holt was played by actor Steve Bond from January 1983 until December 1986, and here’s what you need to know about his time in Port Charles…
Jimmy Lee Holt moved to Port Charles from Indiana and when his mother, Beatrice LeSeur, joined him, they revealed that he was actually Edward Quartermaine’s illegitimate son. After his mom overdosed on Lila Quartermaine’s heart medication, Jimmy Lee inherited $20 million in exchange for his silence and joined forces with Heather Webber to get custody of the late Susan Moore’s son, Jason Quartermaine (and his trust fund!). Unfortunately, their plan was foiled when Monica Quartermaine allowed Jason to live with them.
When Edward’s cousin, Celia Quartermaine, came to town, Jimmy Lee felt an immediate connection to her but their passionate affair came to an end when she chose Grant Putnam instead. Jimmy Lee tried kidnapping Celia to talk her out of marrying Grant — who was really a secret DVX agent taking the actual Grant’s place — but failed. He then moved on to Monica’s cousin, Lorena Sharpe, but she also chose another man over Jimmy Lee.
After the Quartermaines went bankrupt temporarily, Jimmy Lee and the rest of the family had to rent rooms over Kelly’s Diner, but they soon returned to the mansion. Jimmy Lee reconnected with Celia, who believed Grant was trying to kill her, and they rekindled their romance and got engaged. Grant plotted to win Celia back with some Aztec treasure, but Sean Donely double-crossed him.
In 1986, Jimmy Lee fell on difficult times when some of his waterfront properties collapsed, and unwilling to give up the good life to which she’d become accustomed, Celia left her husband and Port Charles. Jimmy Lee then married Charity Gatlin and moved to Pautak, NY, to help her run a country store. When Edward passed away in 2012, Jimmy Lee received no inheritance, but in July 2021, Austin Gatlin-Holt revealed that he was Jimmy Lee and Charity’s son and wanted his part of the Quartermaine fortune. Sadly, however, Austin also revealed that Jimmy Lee had recently passed away.
So while Jimmy Lee is no longer around, keep watching GH to see if his son is a chip off the old block!

Driving Point Policies
Many states maintain driving point systems that assess points for specific violations. Those points are then used to prompt disciplinary action. The Department of Revenue oversees Missouri’s driving point system. The Department of Revenue (DOR) adds points to your driving record when you are convicted of a moving violation. Moving violations are defined as violations committed while your vehicle was in motion. The DOR does not add points for non-moving violations, such as parking tickets.
How the Point System Works
The number of points the DOR adds to your record depends on the violation you were convicted of and under what jurisdiction it falls. For example, the DOR will add three points to your record for violating a state speed limit law and 12 points for driving on a suspended or revoked license. Review the DOR’s exhaustive list of conviction-based point assessments to determine how many points you will receive for your specific conviction.
There are three phases in the point system, including notice, suspension and revocation.
If you accumulate four points within 12 months, the DOR will send you an advisory notice. Your license will not be suspended.
If you accumulate eight or more points within 18 months, the DOR will suspend your driving privileges for 30 days, if it is your first suspension. A second suspension will be for 60 days and a third or subsequent suspension will be for 90 days.
The DOR will revoke your driving privileges for one year if you accumulate 12 or more points within 12 months, 18 or more points in 24 months or 24 or more points in 36 months.
When your license is reinstated, the DOR will lower your total point count to four and those points will reduce each year you go without accumulating more points.
ASSAULT & VIOLENT CRIMES
BURGLARY & STEALING
TRAFFIC TICKETS & POINTS
An Attorney Can Help You Fight Your License Suspension
While it’s best to work with an attorney to fight your citations before you are convicted, you might have options for relief even after the DOR adds points to your record. You may appeal a decision made by the DOR within 30 days of the notice being issued, although appeals require skilled legal guidance. Qualified drivers may be eligible to apply for a Restricted Driving Privilege (RDP) or a Limited Driving Privilege (LDP), depending on their conviction(s) and the need for driving privileges. Again, have an experienced Missouri driver’s license defense attorney help you to ensure your request is given fair consideration.
If you are facing a license suspension, it’s essential you seek the right help. If you need trusted legal guidance in Cass County, Kansas City or the surrounding areas, the Missouri DWI & Criminal Law Center at the Benjamin Law Firm, LLC can help. The attorneys at Missouri DWI & Criminal Law Center have the skills and experience needed to guide Missouri residents through some of life’s most challenging moments.

In addition to my standard picture - I have actually taken a little time to create a picture tutorial, as promised.
You can use any envelope. I used a #10 business envelope because I can get two bags from one envelope. If you use an invitation envelope, you will only get one.
First, seal the envelope, then cut it in half.
Decorate your envelope.
First I ran it through my Cuttlebug using the Polka Dots folder (had to, I just bought it a few days ago)
Then I stamped with Grey ink and flourish stamps. You could do this before the Cuttlebug, but I wanted a rougher look from the dots.
Score the three edges at .5 inches(you can do larger, just make sure you do all three edges). If you are using an invitation envelope, you will score three sides and cut off one of the ends at the same measurements.
Fold at the score lines and burnish with a bone folder or smooth ended tool. This is a little tricky due to the embossing, so pay attention to the fold lines.
Open the almost bag and insert your hand to help poof it and adjust the fold areas as needed.
The two corners will poke outwards. Flatten them and glue them to the bottom of the bag.
Topper. Using my cricut, I cut out the phrase "boo" with shadow from Holiday Cakes (again, had to as I just bought it!). I attached it to a piece of 3.125 x 2 inch cardstock, scored and folded at the 1 inch mark. I also added a border made using my MS Drippy Goo punch. I embellished with Stickles.
Fill the bag with treats and attach the Topper to the bag. I glue the Topper to the front and back to keep the bag closed and to prevent "snitching.
I hope you enjoyed this Boo-tiful Treat Bag. I love to see what you create, so please post here if you make any of your own.

The Razorback baseball team’s fall season went into full swing earlier this week.
In the case of any inclement weather, the team will move the scrimmage indoors to the Fowler Center and it will be closed off to the public.
Thursday Scrimmage – 7:05 p.m.
Friday Scrimmage – 4 p.m.
Saturday Scrimmage – 10 a.m.
Arkansas opened its 2017 fall practice on Tuesday and head coach Dave Van Horn welcomed back 28 returning players and 16 newcomers. Among those returning players, seniors Carson Shaddy and Luke Bonfield, as well as junior Blaine Knight headline the squad that hopes to improve on the team’s 45 wins from a season ago.
In what will be the second season under pitching coach Wes Johnson, Arkansas brings back a number of arms from a year ago that helped the team reach the SEC Tournament final and host the NCAA Regional for the first time since 2010. Knight comes back after making 16 starts and compiling a 3.28 ERA over 90.2 innings. His eight wins were good for most on the team and was the most by a Razorback pitcher since 2014.
Joining Knight, Arkansas will get to utilize a healthy Isaiah Campbell and Keaton McKinney, who both were shut down early in the spring with arm injuries. McKinney was a freshman all-american two years ago and Campbell made six starts as a freshman and looks to be able to shore up a strong rotation.
Offensively, Arkansas returns some of its best bats in recent years. Both Shaddy and Bonfield will be back in the lineup as both hit over .270 last year with 17 home runs and 89 RBIs combined. Along with them, junior shortstop Jax Biggers returns as the Razorbacks’ top hitter, coming off a year where he hit .338 in 63 games with four home runs and 37 RBIs.
Freshman All-American Dominic Fletcher will captain the outfield as Arkansas’ returning centerfielder. Fletcher was one of the best hitting outfielders in the SEC last season. His .291 average was second among all SEC freshmen, while his 12 home runs were first and were the most by an Arkansas freshman since Zack Cox hit 13 in 2009.
The baseball team will play its annual Fall World Series at Baum Stadium next month with dates still to be determined. All practices and scrimmages are open to the public throughout the fall, weather permitting.

Doctors have rejected the Government's planned pension changes and two out of three would be prepared to take industrial action over the issue, it was announced today.
A survey of members of the British Medical Association showed an "overwhelming" vote against the controversial reforms, dealing a blow to Government hopes of an end to the bitter dispute.
Around 46,000 doctors took part in a survey - a response rate of 36% - with over four in five saying the proposals should be rejected.
Almost two thirds said they would be prepared to take industrial action to pursue changes to the proposals.
More than a third of doctors over the age of 50 said they intend to retire early if the changes go ahead as planned.
The BMA has formally written to the Government rejecting the "final" offer and urging ministers to meet unions to agree "fairer" changes.
The association said it will work up detailed plans on taking industrial action, adding that all attempts will be made to ensure that any action would minimise any risk of harm to patients.
An emergency meeting of BMA Council will be held on February 25 to decide on the options for balloting on industrial action, unless there is a "significant" change in the Government's position.
Dr Hamish Meldrum, chairman of BMA Council, said: "The strength and scale of feeling among doctors is abundantly clear - they feel let down and betrayed, and for many this is the final straw.
"Doctors are at the forefront of attempts to save the NHS £20 billion, while trying to protect patient care, are in the midst of huge system reform in England, which is causing chaos in many areas, and are about to enter a fourth successive year of a pay freeze.
"Now on top of this, they are facing wholesale changes to their pension scheme, which was radically overhauled less than four years ago and is actually delivering a positive cashflow to the Treasury.
"Forcing doctors to work to almost 70 is one of our most serious concerns as it could put pressure on doctors to work beyond the age at which they feel competent and safe.
"Industrial action remains a last resort and the Government must urgently reconsider its damaging plans. The action we are considering is unprecedented in recent decades. This demonstrates the current level of discontent among NHS staff."
The BMA said that although there have been minor improvements on the Government's original offer through negotiation, all doctors still stand to be hit "very hard".
"The retirement age would increase, with many having to work to 68 before being able to draw a full pension. The amount doctors have to pay into their pension would rise significantly, with those at the start of their careers facing the prospect of paying over £200,000 in additional lifetime contributions.
"And the current final salary scheme would be replaced with a new career average scheme, which would leave most doctors with worse overall benefits."
The BMA has not taken industrial action since the 1970s when there was a dispute over junior doctors' working conditions, including hours.
An estimated 1.5 million public sector workers went on strike last November over the pension reforms, which affects teachers, civil servants, nurses, council staff as well as doctors.
The BMA did not take part in the strike, but even holding an industrial action ballot would be a serious blow to the Government's hopes of achieving a deal.
A number of unions are still considering the final offer, with some workers now being given the chance to vote on whether it should be accepted.

COVID-19 has slowed down sales for businesses across various industries. Especially fashion and apparel, that lies under the non-essentials category. But as the government starts to relax the lockdowns and restrictions, it’s time to get back to business. Although this time, fashion and apparel businesses need to be aware of how their consumer’s behaviour has evolved during this period.
In this article, we’re sharing what we have learned about the change in consumer behaviour and how your fashion and apparel brand can adapt to it.
Understanding and adapting to the ‘new-normal’ consumer
1. Consumers are choosing to make more online purchases
eCommerce has been growing at a rapid pace over the last few years. The pandemic only accelerated the adoption across all industries. Consumers now choose online shopping for even their day-to-day necessities to avoid stepping into public spaces.
Fashion and apparel brands now need to consider going online with their products. It will give them the ability to reach out to their existing customers and attract new ones by promoting a ‘safer’ way to shop that lets them experience in-store shopping, online.
According to the Economic Times, Indian consumers may shift to only online shopping in the next 9 months.
Is your brand not online yet or you struggling to set up an online store? Here’s a complete guide on how to set up an online fashion and apparel store in India.
2. Consumers are seeking bulk discounts for volume purchases
The new-age consumer is more informed than ever. They are aware of the possible limitations on the availability of items and delivery delays. That’s why you’ll see this new consumer choose to buy certain products in bulk. So they can remain prepared for days to come by making the purchase once. But at the same time, they’re also looking for brands that can offer them discounts on bulk purchases so that they can do the same on other items they need.
Fashion and apparel brands will need to understand their customers better and which of their products in the inventory can be sold in bulk. Creating bundles of fashion wear is a good idea to make more sales right now, but so is keeping in mind what kind of fashion wear the consumer is more likely to put to use as of today.

3. Consumers are spending more time on mobile
In lockdowns and with very few places to go, this new consumer that you’re targeting is spending more time on their mobile devices. According to Social Media Today, people are spending 20% more time in apps alone.
Fashion and apparel retailers need to take this consumer behaviour into account to be able to reach them where they are the most active. It’s a good idea to move past just mobile-web ready online stores to setting up native apps for your store. The easier it is for a consumer to browse through your products, create wish lists and make purchases, the higher will be your conversions.
Retailers that have adapted to this change have seen a spike in their sales and revenue by a whopping 26%.
Recommended app(s): PlobalApps
4. Consumers prefer making online payments
The want of limiting contact with the outside world has increased the number of consumers who choose to make online payments for their orders. You can see a clear drift from opting for COD (cash on delivery) to looking for online payment modes like Netbanking, digital wallets and more.
Fashion and apparel businesses will need to take into account the different types of shoppers their online store will get. It is important to now offer multiple payment modes to consumers to ensure you don’t lose out on sales.
A good idea is to start by analysing what your existing customers chose for making online payments. Then take a look at what other competing brands are offering to their consumers to make online shopping easier. Remember, the idea is to offer popular payment methods in your target area.
Check out the recommended payment gateways in India.
5. Consumers are demanding no-contact delivery
Continuing on the consumer’s need to limit contact with delivery personnel, offering the right delivery mode has also become important to survive the COVID-19 slowdown. If your store has been offering regular delivery methods that don’t boast of the no-contact and doorstep delivery, you’ll see a lot of consumers walking away.
As a fashion and apparel brand, you need to ensure that you have a hygiene page up on your store. This page should share how you’re following all regulations to ensure safe delivery of orders. Including a line or two on your packaging process can get you more brownie points from consumers.
Another delivery method that retailers can now consider is buying online and pick-up from the store. This gives the consumer the flexibility to choose when they want to pick up their order and mental satisfaction of how the number of people in contact with their order gets reduced.

6. Consumers want to engage with brands that support a cause
These are difficult times and the new-age consumer is choosing to do their bit in giving back to society. There has been an increase in the number of people that choose to interact with a brand or buy from them after seeing that they support a cause that is commonly shared. More than discounts, ‘cause marketing’ is what will drive more sales for online retailers.
Fashion and apparel brands will need to look into what their target audience cares about the most. Then you need to identify how you can join them in their efforts to add value to those in need.
For example, GoCoop is running a campaign called ‘crafting a safe environment’ to help strengthen local businesses. They’re promoting masks crafted by artisans across the country to help them tide over the COVID-19 slowdown. This helps them create a positive impression on their customers and also do their bit for society.
7. Consumers are seeking familiarity
These are uncertain times and being introduced to something new isn’t exactly what consumers are looking for. A study by bloomreach suggests that consumers are now looking for familiarity and nostalgia. They want to purchase items that remind them of their childhood or the happier times as we call it.
While fashion trends can’t really have a nostalgic throwback, you can change your messaging slightly to tap into the consumer emotion. For instance, run a campaign that asks them about their favourite age-old fashion trend. Give them a chance to get featured on your feed and you’ll see how word-of-mouth starts to drive more people to your store.
While you’re running campaigns or creating content, remember to be empathetic. This is your chance to reset your narrative and make consumers fall in love with your brand.
8. Consumers are focusing on buying essentials
Consumers are still adapting to the new normal. That’s why their spending habits have been altering week after week. While some industries have seen an upsurge in the number of orders being placed online, there are others that don’t even make it to the list of ‘should check out these products’.
It’s not just consumer behaviour that your fashion and apparel brand needs to take into consideration. You also need to identify what products are consumers looking for and using. The closer you are to selling what your consumers need, the more likely they are to purchase from your store.
For example, Tjori is an online store that sells ethnic wear. But in the light of current events, they have customized their homepage to promote ‘back to work essentials’. The collection includes hand sanitizers, masks, gloves and even bundles.
They have also adapted their inventory to include cotton masks in the material they used for their ethnic wear, promoting them within their lockdown essentials collection.
According to Forbes, fashion and apparel brands will now need to look into offering sustainable products. Sustainable fashion will be a bigger market than ever before.
Looking for inspiration? Here are the top 21 sustainable fashion brands that people across the world trust.
9. Consumers are seeking an immersive experience
With the rise in mobile app usage and technology, consumers are also expecting online retailers to offer an interactive platform. Since they’re limited in ways to get a look and feel of a product, they expect brands to be able to offer them as much information so as to make an informed purchase.
Another post on Forbes highlighted how virtual catwalks and digital fashion is changing the industry. But it’s not just for the industry leaders to take into account.
With smart apps, your store can offer virtual try-ons to consumers on products. This will help them get an understanding of how the product looks on them. On the flip side, it will help your store reduce the number of returns and refunds.

Fashion and apparel retailers will also have to spend more time on product descriptions and sizing guides.
10. Consumers want to plan their budgets better
No one knows what the next week is going to look like. That’s why consumers are being careful about their spending habits. While a lot of them are focusing on purchasing only the absolute essentials, there are others indulging in non-essentials but in a limited manner. They want to save on their resources for tougher times.
According to a survey by EY, four new customer segments have emerged during the COVID-19 crisis.
Fashion and apparel retailers that go online should consider offering the ability to pay partially. Similar to how you can set up easy EMIs for a purchase you make. Adding this to the offered payment methods is like showing consumers you care about their resources as much.

Consumer behaviour is still changing. But the one thing that is clear from how even the restrictions on lockdowns are opening, is that digital is the way to go. For fashion and apparel retailers who have been under stricter lockdowns and restrictions, the only way to tide over the pandemic is moving closer to the demands of the shopper.

This was super delicious, Nimz. It reminded me of those orange creamsicle ice cream bars we enjoyed every summer during childhood. Now I can have it in smoothie form! It was so easy to make and it's refreshing, with a delightful creamy orange taste. I will make these often when I want to treat myself to something special. Made for the Spring 2014 Pick-A-Chef event.

Have federally subsidized student loan debt? Then you might want to pay attention to what’s going on in Congress. We warn you, though: as usual, it’s not pretty.
Thanks to a law passed in 2007, interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans are set to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1 unless Congress passes a measure to prevent it. President Obama, as you’d expect in an election year, speedily asked legislators to please get on that. And get on that they did, though in the usual partisan manner, with Democrats and Republicans coming up with two competing bills. Both keep the interest rates at their current level for a year but find very different ways to pay for the program.
The Democratic approach? Raise payroll taxes on some wealthy individuals who use a loophole to pay less by classifying some of their income as dividends. “What, a tax increase!?” cried the Republicans, who predictably, went ballistic. They instead want to fund the rate extension by eliminating a fund for preventive health care that was part of President Obama’s health care reform bill.
The House passed a version of the bill, including the Republican’s funding proposal. But on May 24, the Senate shot down both versions of the bill, passing – you guessed it — nothing.
The result? The continued threat of a rate rise for students, and a whole lot of unappealing political posturing. (Another “controversial” measure that failed to pass: The Violence Against Women Act.)
The White House says the interest rate will cost borrowers an average of $1,000 a year. But with pundits of all stripes wringing their hands about the magnitude of young people’s debt load (if you didn’t see The New York Times recent package of the magnitude of the crisis, it’s worth checking out) and the job market for grads still pretty grim, it seems a bit rich to ask this group to pay any more at all.
Especially when we’re repeatedly told that any cuts to programs that are important to seniors are a political no-go zone. As Stephen Marche’s explained in his provocatively titled Esquire article “The War Against Youth:”
The political imperative is to preserve the economic cloak of unreality that the Boomers have wrapped themselves in.
Democrats may not be actively hostile to the interests of young voters, but they are too scared and weak to speak up for them. So when the Boomers and swing voters scream for fiscal discipline and the hard decisions have to be made, youth is collateral damage. Medicare and Social Security were mostly untouched in Obama’s 2012 budget. But to show he was really serious about belt tightening, relatively cheap programs that help young people like the Adolescent Family Life Program and the Career Pathways Innovation Fund were killed.
Why? Older people vote en masse. Maybe it’s time for young people to start doing that too.

SciFi now and Tor put on an awesome contest earlier this year to find a fresh new face in Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Hundreds of people from around the world submitted (hundreds? Around the world? For a contest run by Tor? I’m surprised it wasn’t thousands). The winner has been announced: The Nemesis List by RJ Frith.
First thing that came to mind upon hearing the news?
illustrations by Emma
Frith, the sun, the creator-god of the beloved book Watership Down. I bet El-ahrairah was behind this trickery too. But of course, I digress.
Anyways, it wasn’t all trickery. The pitch for RJ Frith’s book sounds really pretty interesting:
The Nemesis List follows a future where humanity has expanded into the stars, but at the price of its freedom under the confines of an autocratic and overbearing government. A result of human experimentation in a world where scientific achievement is strictly controlled, Jeven Jones finds himself caught up between soldiers, rebels, and more thanks to his ability for perfect recall, and the whims and desires of others to use it for their own agenda.
I’m looking forward to reading the work of Tor’s fresh new face. Hopefully the sales of his book will be large enough to bring another contest around!

Who better to offer travel tips then folks who travel for a living? We touched base with a few of our fave fashion world insiders to give us the lowdown. Stay tuned for more of these interviews throughout the month.
LORENZO MARTONE, BRAND/PR CONSULTANT
Escape: I have two favorite places. My memories from St. Barts are wonderful: The French influence makes me nostalgic for the time I lived in Paris. From dining at Maya’s to spending the day at Saline Beach, every minute there is wonderful. I remember one winter going to sail with Patrick Demarchelier and we had a blast. The ocean is warm and the atmosphere very relaxing. All this just five hours away from NYC! My second favorite trip is Burma/Myanmar. I spent Christmas and New Year’s Eve there in 2007 and It felt like I had taken a time machine and gone back 100 years. No telephone nor internet. Only temples to see and South Asian culture to absorb. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel small – like a grain of sand in an immense beach. The New Year’s ceremony in Inle Lake was unforgettable.
Must-Haves: Sunscreen (even if it doesn’t show, I do I use it). One special CD for the car; I always like having a soundtrack for each trip to make it more memorable – and yes, a CD (remember them?). One book (also the old – paper – version of books so I can read under the sun).
Next Stop: Bellport, Long Island where I rented a house. It’s close to New York yet feels disconnected. I have a big kitchen and cook a lot. And, of course, lots of bike rides to the beach. I will finally catch up with my reading!

In what appears to be a retaliatory move, China accuses the CIA of waging an 11-year long cyber espionage campaign. Moreover, a report claims a secret CIA unit called APT-C-39 has been targeting industries and government sectors in China.
Qihoo 360, a Chinese cyber security firm, this week published a report accusing the US’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of cyber espionage. Furthermore, the report states that the 11-year long cyber espionage campaign was discovered by analyzing documents released on WikiLeaks.
In 2017, a former CIA agent, Joshua Adam Schulte, purportedly released a cache of documents dubbed “Vault 7” to WikiLeaks. The Vault 7 documents revealed details of the CIA’s cyber-weapons and hacking techniques.
Researchers discovered the cyber espionage campaign by comparing tools used in past cyberattacks on China against CIA hacking tools and techniques mentioned in the Vault 7 documents.
Targets of the Alleged CIA Cyber Espionage Campaign
The report claims that the CIA’s espionage campaign targeted China’s most important industries. “Qihoo 360 discovered and revealed cyber-attacks by the CIA hacking group (APT-C-39) which lasts for eleven years against China,” researchers wrote in the report. “Several industry sectors have been targeted including aviation organizations, scientific research institutions, petroleum industry, Internet companies, and government agencies.”
The report also states the hacking of the aviation industry might have been aimed at tracking “important figures’ travel itinerary.”
Over the years, many allegations of hacking have been levelled against China. For example, the Chinese have been accused of conducting state backed hacking campaigns and of selling devices to the West that spy on its users. Furthermore, in the last month the US has indicted 4 Chinese military officers for cybercrimes and cyber espionage. There has also been the ongoing standoff with China over their 5G and AI products, with Huawei products being front and center.
Consequently, Chinese firms have turned around and have begun levelling similar allegations against the US and other nations. Qihoo 360 is now the second Chinese firm to make allegations against the West. They state that: “The CIA Vault 7 weapons show from the side that the United States has built the world’s largest cyber weapons arsenal. It has not only brought serious threat to the global network security, but also demonstrate the APT [APT-C-39] organization’s high technical capabilities and professional standards.”
The first to publish allegations against the West was the Chinese security firm Qi An Xin. In September 2019, it published a similar report to Qihoo’s, linking the CIA to attacks targeting Chinese aviation agencies.
Timing of Retaliation
The timing of Qihoo’s report could be seen as being in retaliation of the indictment of the four Chinese military officers. The officers were indicted over the breach of the US’s credit reporting agency, Equifax.
For Beijing, the public accusations of espionage and intellectual property theft leveled against China, is likely seen as biased. Thus, these recent reports could be the start of a Chinese attempt to balance the scales.

The plants that opened during 2016 are boosting the auto parts production in Mexico.
DuPont closed the year with automotive industry material sales showing a 9% growth rate, especially sales to auto parts manufacturers, who consume its coatings and high performance polymers, said Juan Jose Zaragoza, leader of the automotive division of the company.
In addition, the plants that opened during 2016 are boosting the auto parts production in Mexico.
DuPont's best-selling material for the automotive sector is nylon, which is used to manufacture different components, such as the case for the radiator fan, engine covers, among others.
DuPont started last year with the commercialization of an elastomer called Vamac, which offers more resistance to fluids like oil, gases, chemical products and high temperatures.
Mr. Zaragoza estimates there will be growth in the automotive and auto parts production during 2017, as there are currently over 1,700 components manufacturers and new providers keep coming.

Keith Gillespie believes Northern Ireland can draw some comfort from the way they tackled a side he sees as the next World Cup winners.
The 30-year-old Newcastle United old boy, a 60-cap veteran, is tipping England to bring home the trophy from Germany next year.
Northern Ireland went into the second half at Old Trafford on level terms, but a catalogue of errors led to a comprehensive defeat in this qualifier.
The result was hardly unexpected as only four players in the Irish starting line-up - goalkeeper Maik Taylor, Baird, Newcastle's Aaron Hughes and Damien Johnson - are with Premiership clubs.
England look likely to finish top of Group Six but Gillespie is expecting much more from Sven-Goran Eriksson's side.
"They could win the World Cup - they are that good," he said.
"It is a young squad, they don't have that many players over the age of 25 and 26. At times in the second half we were chasing shadows."
Northern Ireland are now heading out to Warsaw ahead of the qualifier against Poland - 8-0 winners against Azerbaijan.
But Gillespie insists the mood is not one of doom and gloom after a defeat at the hands of team 103 places above them in the Fifa rankings.
"We all know how good a side England are but for the first 45 minutes we matched them," he said.
"We were getting tackles in and they were getting a bit frustrated.
"If we had kept it at 0-0 for the first 15 minutes of the second half, who knows what might have happened.
"But we can take some positives from the way we performed in the first half."
And although the second half was a different story, Crewe defender Colin Murdock says it was a learning experience. "We were pleased to give a good account of ourselves in the first half and showed we can compete at this level," he said
"But we need to try and sustain our concentration for 90 minutes, not 45.
"Perhaps we can learn from the mistakes we have made. It was unfortunate that individual errors deflated us a bit and collectively we lost a bit of concentration."

If you’re in a relationship, it’s normal to wonder how often you should have sex with your husband. However, it’s important to remember that every couple has a different sexual frequency that works for them.
On average, couples have sex about once a week. But that statistic can vary depending on age and other factors.
1. It depends on your age
In the early stages of marriage, a couple might have sex every day or even three times a week. But as people age, libido can decrease and they may find themselves not having sex for weeks or even months. It’s important to recognize each person’s level of sexual interest and to find a comfortable compromise that works for the two of you.
Experts say that the average married couple has sex about once a week. But they also emphasize that the amount of sex is less important than the quality. “I’ve worked with couples who would say once a week is too much, and other couples that would say it’s not enough,” says Dr. Jess O’Reilly, a sex and relationship therapist.
She says that every relationship experiences dry spells, and it could be for a variety of reasons. Things like having kids, working too much, being stressed out or dealing with a health issue can take a toll on the libido. She adds that pushing a couple to have more sex may actually cause them to lose desire and satisfaction.
A husband also needs to understand that women go through hormonal changes, including menopause, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and pregnancy. These conditions can all affect a woman’s libido and cause her to crave different types of intimacy, such as emotional and mental.
2. It depends on your relationship
It’s important to remember that the number of times a couple has sex will vary depending on their individual needs and desires. For example, some couples may have sex every day, while others might only have sex once or twice a week. Regardless of the number, it’s important that you and your partner feel satisfied sexually.
If you’re unhappy with the amount of sex you and your husband are having, it’s a good idea to talk about it with your partner. While it’s normal for a relationship to experience occasional dry spells in the bedroom, going too long without physical intimacy can lead to anger, detachment, and even infidelity.
In addition, if you’re struggling to get in the mood for sex, try changing up your routine. For example, you could try having a massage or taking a warm bath together. These activities can be just as intimate as sex and may help you feel more in the mood.
However, if you find that you are constantly fighting over the frequency of sex, it might be time to seek professional help. A therapist can help you work through any sexual issues and find ways to improve your intimacy with your husband. For instance, a therapist can teach you healthy communication skills so that you and your partner can discuss these issues calmly and respectfully.
3. It depends on your body
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as everyone’s body and libido are different. But on average, it seems that most couples report having sex between three and four times a month. And while that may seem like a lot, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going against the grain if your number doesn’t match up to these statistics.
In fact, if you and your partner are both satisfied with the frequency of your intimacy, then it probably doesn’t matter at all that you don’t have the same number as the average couple. However, it is important to discuss sexual frequency with your partner if you feel that it is not what it was in the beginning of your relationship. It may be a sign that something is off or that your needs and wants have changed over time.
In addition, many couples experience dry spells in the bedroom due to work, children, or other life obligations. While it’s normal for sex to decrease in frequency, it’s important to discuss this with your partner and find a way to get back on track. Remember that the quality of sex is more important than the quantity, and try to focus on what makes you both happy. With communication and openness, you’ll be able to find the perfect balance for your relationship.
4. It depends on your mood
There’s a lot of pressure on couples to have sex often, but there is no set amount that’s best for every couple. It depends on a number of different factors, including how much sexual satisfaction each person needs, their age and libido, and what’s going on in the rest of their lives. If you and your husband aren’t satisfied with the amount of intimacy you’re having, it might be time to talk about it.
Experts agree that it’s important to communicate about your needs and sexual desires in a healthy relationship. But they also say it’s not always possible to have this conversation without putting some strain on the relationship.
For some people, sex isn’t as necessary for their emotional and mental well-being as it is for others. And some couples go for extended periods of time without having sex at all.
The experts we talked to suggest that it’s a good idea for most couples to have sex at least once a week. They say that it can help reduce stress and improve sleep, and can make couples more open to talking about their sexual fantasies and needs. Plus, sex can be a way to show your partner that you’re invested in the relationship and care about them. This is a form of communication that should be nurtured, but it can be difficult to do in the midst of day-to-day responsibilities and worries.
