Posted on 08/01/2007 4:28:27 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo
Just turned on the news. 35W bridge collapsed in the Mississippi River. Cars, trucks, semis.....
Fires burning, tanker trucks, at least one school bus, more than ten cars......
Just now breaking.......
Nix on the “reckon”, too. That would be more Southern. :^D
Somewhat disagree. Every bridge I am aware of (I used to inspect them and supervised other inspectors afterward) has bad expansion joints. Every one of them is rusted and most are totally locked up. It sometimes causes localized failures, particularly on the deck if it is concrete, however, I have never heard of that being a primary cause of failure.
My bet is a fatigue crack that was hidden or missed during inspection. The combination of bumper-to-bumper traffic and the construction machinery was more than the remaining tension (the uncracked area) could take.
I agree. I have seen a lot of fatigue failures (most not on bridges, thankfully), and every one of them has been in a tension member or in a tension area.
I have never seen a fatigue failure in a compression member. I have seen buckling in compression and seen all kinds of different joint failures (weld cracks, poor fusion, rivet shear, bolt shear — but more often shear failure in the plate the rivet or bolt goes through — bad metal, bad repairs, bad initial welding, but I have never seen a fatigue failure in compression.
Frighteningly, I live in the land of PennDOT.
My understanding was it is a riveted connection not bolted..but nonetheless, something failed.
there is a good diagram.
The center span over water is 468’ (if I recall correctly) of the 1900’ total.
The whole bridge was limited to one lane each direction where there is normally four lanes of heavy traffic each direction.
Cannot find links to a terrific TV documentary on The World’s most celebrated bridges - but did find this interesting site.
Has that been confirmed? Even 2 days later i've heard conflicting accounts, 1/2 those saying 2 lanes were open per direction (4 total), and the other half saying only 1 lane per side(2 total). Could it be the reason for the confusion was that while parts of the collapsed section was down to 2 lanes, others were still at 4?
Actually the bridge next to it is the 3rd avenue bridge. Not a freeway.
The 35W bridge carried traffic in both directions.
Very interesting analysis. Thank you.
Great pics with notes. Thanks.
There were two lanes going in both directions. It would be quite rare for a major freeway to be down to one lane only in each direction during rush hour. (Sometimes they do it on the weekends.)
Road or bridge construction control varies hour by hour, I would think - and at Rush Hour usually they make necessary adjustments. Probably not a conflict - just a time difference.
OK, thanks for the information. It helps to know the facts.
Thanks for the information.
“They can have my 1978 Camaro when they pry it from my cold dead hands....”
There will allways be gas for those willing to pay for it - but the more people taking light rail, and driving the ity-bitty electric cars, the more gas left at a more reasonable price for you.
Actually I made a mistake. It’s the 10th avenue bridge.
The 3rd avenue bridge is on the other side of the stone arch bridge. :)
Interesting article here about the inspections and decisions made:
“According to a source with knowledge of the state and federal investigations, MnDOT is focused on the east side of the northbound section of the bridge past the Washington Avenue entrance as the likely spot where the bridge first gave way.”
You make several very good points.

As a ‘thank you’ to residents for recycling their garden waste, Bournemouth Bororugh Council will be giving away free compost at Slades Farm on Saturday 2 May and King’s Park on Sunday 10 May.
Bournemouth residents, who bring their current council tax bill, will be able to pick up their compost on a first-come first-served basis from 9am until 1pm, or until the compost runs out, whichever comes first. In previous years, the compost had all gone by mid-morning.
At Slades Farm the giveaway will be in the car park on Ensbury Avenue next to the community centre. At Kings Park it will be in the lorry park by the Garden Waste Collection Point, accessed via Holdenhurst Road.
Residents will need to bring their own bags or containers totalling no more than 70 litres for collecting the compost.
Georgina Fry, Waste & Resource Projects Manager, said: “It’s brilliant that we are able to give something back to all those who have helped make our fabulous and free green waste collection service so popular.
“Our waste partner Eco Sustainable Solutions has donated eight tonnes of compost this year. This has allowed us to once again run two events, so we can spread the benefit, and the compost, across the Borough.”
The compost giveaway days fall either side of International Compost Awareness week (May 3-9) which aims to highlight the benefit of composting. Home composting is a great way to reduce the amount of garden & kitchen waste that goes into your household bins. Composting at home turns most kitchen and garden waste into a rich compost to keep your garden blooming year after year. So if you’re not composting already, now is the time to get started!

When cyclone Harold landed on Vanuatu, the only communication channel some of its remote islands had was the satellite links ITU had helped establish. The satellite connectivity project demonstrated the importance of robust and resilient broadband digital infrastructure. The project aims to bring SDG-centred digital services to improve living conditions for island community members. ITU stands ready to continue its support to Vanuatu’s digital transformation journey.
International days and weeks are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. We also mark other UN observances.

One interesting thing that researchers have discovered is that the life expectancy of most going out with relationships can be broken down in five periods of relationships. Each level has its own exceptional characteristics and risks engaged. Understanding something about these kinds of stages of relationships prior to getting into these people can help be ready to them, as well as offer some suggestions when navigating them. This article covers the first stage of a relationship, which can be the initial length of courtship and dating.
The first stage of a relationship is definitely the courtship and dating period. During this stage both companions are often continue to interested in observing each other, though this interest may be more mental than real. At this time it is important to establish rapport — a feeling of understanding and trust between the two partners. Keeping this standard of understanding and trust may be the first prerequisite for a effective relationship, and also the best way to stop any probably harmful problems. By knowing how that this stage of a relationship is important, it means you need to take your time in getting to know the other person well and spend ample time building a long-term foundation.
The other stage is certainly when a few is courtship and looking toward having kids. While it is never easy to juggle work and family, it is crucial to spend period together and never having to juggle agendas. During this stage it is important to consider your have feelings about children, but not let any person pressure you in taking a decision. You should also remember that in this phase of your marriage you might truly feel reduced inclined to sharing physical intimacy, nevertheless that you need to take this into account mainly because children will be involved in some degree.
The third level is while you are getting to know each other intimately, in addition to formed an excellent relationship based on friendship. At this stage you can russian bride for marriage remember past associations with your spouse and begin to examine whether you are truly compatible with all of them. If you find that you and your spouse are good good friends, then that is definitely the stage of a healthful relationship where one can build a good lifelong relationship. If however you are definitely not comfortable with your partner romantically, or perhaps you find that you only do not get pleasure from being close, then this kind of relationship is probably not long for.
The fourth stage of relationships is more of an assessment. In order to assess whether or not the two individuals are befitting one another, you need to consider their individuality. You need to ask yourself if there is good compatibility between you and your partner. You also need to consider how you feel to each other as you develop an emotional interconnection. While there will be no set guidelines with regards to this kind of phase of the relationship’s creation, it is important to remember that different people could have different emotions towards diverse stages.
Overall the four stages of relationships are very important. Every stage is vital towards the development of long lasting bonds. However some of the phases are only necessary for couples to enjoy before getting into the next level, many people find that they are unable to push along right up until they experience all four phases of interactions. This is because the stages give you an opportunity to get to know each other better, to understand what their partner interests and does not like, and to discover whether or not your spouse feels not much different from the way about you. This permits for a further relationship that could last throughout your connections.

Canine Herpes Virus Infection: A Sero-Epidemiological Survey in Tunisia and Estimation of Vaccine Efficiency
We carried out, in the first part, a canine herpes virus infection sero-epidemiological survey by ELISA test on 49 reproductive bitches aged 2.9 ± 1.7 years and coming from Bizerte and Tunis regions. This survey has revealed a seropositive rate of 37%. No significant differences were found according to the sanitary status or the age of the dogs in the breeding units. In the second part, we carried out a medical prophylaxis against canine herpes virus infection in a canine centre. For that, we have used EURICAN® herpes virus vaccine produced by MERIAL Laboratories, Lyon, France. This study allows us to estimate vaccine efficiency by observing its impact on neonatal mortality. Twenty three reproductive females housed at a canine center were included in this study. These bitches were divided into 3 groups: The First group (control group) was made up of 6 bitches that did not receive any herpes virus vaccine but instead, they received a vaccine against other diseases (Distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvoviruses and rabies). The second group: contains 10 females that have received a single injection of herpes virus vaccine at the end of pregnancy period according to the protocol proposed by Lanting (2004). The third group: comprises 7 bitches that have received vaccination according to the following protocol (Poulet et al. 2001):
First injection 10 days after mating
Second injection 10 days before delivery date.
The result of vaccinations has shown a decrease in neonatal mortality rate. In fact, in the control group (Group1) a neonatal mortality rate was of 43.33%, while in the vaccinated groups it was of 23.4% and 7% respectively in the second and the third group.

The demise of Domino magazine was one of many sad losses seen in the magazine publishing world last year. I will forever miss curling up with my issue the night it arrived in my mailbox, earmarking the pages I loved (I never got into those sticky note “flags”), and ultimately bringing some of the inspiration I found within the pages back to my work at Hammertown and into my own home.
Luckily, some of the talented folks behind the magazine (Domino editor and blogger Michelle Adams and her partner, photographer Patrick Cline) decided to use their know-how to launch a new online-only home magazine called Lonny (a name combining New York and London) – www.lonnymag.com
Launched in the fall of 2009, there are now two issues of Lonny Mag for your online viewing pleasure. You can print it out if need be, but viewing it on my computer at full screen is almost (I said almost) as good as leafing through those printed pages. So, in honor of the environment and knowing I can visit Lonny online anytime I wish, I only print the pages I love and file them away in my mess of design clippings (2010 resolution sees all these clippings neatly organized in binders).
When I first viewed Lonny online and read their mission statement, I felt a real kinship between our business at Hammertown and what the creators of Lonny are trying to accomplish through their publication.
“THE LONNY MISSION is to reopen the doors of accessible design. By embracing an online platform we provide inspiration at the click of a finger, directly connecting our readers to their favorite products and resources. Our freedom from page limits means that we can share more content in each issue, delivering an intimate look into the way people really live. At Lonny, we value independent thinking and believe not in following trends but rather in making choices that lead to happiness. We believe that good design and affordable design can coexist and that true inspiration can be found in the teeniest of homes or in the grandest of spaces.”
Need I say more? I am ready to send them some photos of the “Hammertown Homes” we have profiled in our (now retired) newsletter (see them online as well).
The homes of our clients embody the idea that personal style is something created from within and not something we recreate from a setting in a catalog or store. This essence of a personal style being something that is not trend-driven is an idea we deeply value at Hammertown and with every item we buy to fill our stores, it is our hope that our customers will find in one of them that perfect compliment to their personal style.
The first two issues of Lonny cover a wide range of tastes and budgets and I LOVE that each story has tons of photos accompanying it.
The Fall 2009 issue includes the home of decorator, Eddie Ross – his country place in our very own Millerton, NY- so nice to see something local on the pages as well! The magazine is chockful of beautiful homes and home decor items much like those we so loved and miss from Domino. My favorite part is the instant click option which allows you to go from an item directly to a site to where you can buy it.
So, if you have yet to see Lonny….check it out today and bookmark the page (www.lonnymag.com) …you won’t regret it.

Two Massachusetts residents have contracted the mosquito-born West Nile virus within the state’s first human instances of the yr.
The Massachusetts Division of Public Well being (DPH) introduced Tuesday, August 29 that one girl in her 70s was uncovered to the virus in one other space of the nation and a person in his 40s was uncovered in Middlesex County in Massachusetts.
Authorities famous that the virus is at a average threat stage in the Larger Boston space, which incorporates Middlesex County, Norfolk County and Suffolk County, in addition to in elements of Bristol County, Plymouth County, Worcester County, Hampden County, Hampshire County and Berkshire County.
“That is the primary time that West Nile virus an infection has been recognized in Massachusetts residents this yr,” mentioned Public Well being Commissioner Robert Goldstein, MD, PhD.
Goldstein mentioned that August and September are the very best threat months for contracting the lethal virus.
“Populations of mosquitoes that may carry and unfold this virus are pretty giant this yr, and we now have seen latest will increase within the variety of WNV-positive mosquito samples from a number of elements of the Commonwealth,” Goldstein mentioned.
In 2022, there have been eight human instances of the West Nile virus an infection recognized in Massachusetts, with the primary being introduced on August 25. The primary case of 2021 got here on September 1.
For the reason that West Nile virus first entered the U.S. in 1999, it has turn out to be the main reason for mosquito-borne illness within the nation, based on the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention (CDC).
Most often, the West Nile virus — a flavivirus in the identical household as yellow fever, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis and the Zika virus — is unfold when Culex mosquitoes chunk contaminated birds after which chunk folks and different animals, based on the CDC’s web site.
The virus shouldn’t be transmitted by consuming or dealing with contaminated animals or birds, neither is it unfold by bodily contact, coughing or sneezing.
A overwhelming majority — round 80% — of the individuals who contract WNV won’t expertise any signs, the CDC states on its web site.
“These folks would solely know there have been beforehand contaminated if blood antibodies have been checked,” defined Dr. George Thompson, professor of medication at UCDavis Medical Middle in Sacramento, in an e mail to Fox Information Digital.
Round one in 5 folks will develop febrile sickness, which is marked by a fever together with physique aches, headache, joint ache, diarrhea, rash and/or vomiting. These signs normally go away on their very own, however some folks might have lingering weak point and fatigue months after an infection.
In uncommon instances — about one in each 150 contaminated folks — the virus can result in severe situations affecting the nervous system, corresponding to encephalitis (irritation of the mind) or meningitis (irritation of the membranes that encompass the mind and spinal wire), the CDC states on its web site.
Those that develop severe sickness might expertise headache, stiff neck, excessive fever, disorientation, imaginative and prescient loss, muscle weak point, convulsions, tremors, coma or paralysis, which happen when there’s viral an infection of the central nervous system.

Light American Potato Salad
- 2 pound red potatoes peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 large hard boiled eggs
- 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup fat-free mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1½ teaspoon Splenda granular
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ½ cup celery chopped, diced
- ⅓ cup red onion sliced, chopped
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan.
- Cover the potatoes with water, making sure the water is about 2 inches above the potatoes.
- Turn the heat up to bring the water to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn the heat down and let the potatoes simmer without a cover until they can be easily pierced with a fork, which should take about 7 to 9 minutes.
- Drain the water from the potatoes and let them cool down a bit.
- While the potatoes are cooling, grab a large bowl.
- In the bowl, use a fork to mash up the yolk of one egg with some vinegar until it's smooth.
- To the same bowl, add yogurt, mayonnaise, relish, Splenda, salt, and pepper.
- Stir everything in the bowl until it's well mixed.
- Now, add the slightly cooled potatoes, chopped celery, and onion into the bowl.
- Toss everything together so the potatoes, celery, and onion are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Take the white part of the egg you used earlier and the whole other egg, chop them up, and gently fold them into the potato salad.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator.
- Keep the potato salad in the fridge until it's cold and ready to serve.
Tips and Tricks
Potato Selection: Opt for waxy potatoes like Yukon gold or red potatoes which hold their shape better after boiling and provide a firmer texture in the salad.
Egg Boiling: Boil the eggs in advance and let them cool in the fridge. This makes them easier to peel and chop for the salad.
Herbs for Freshness: Fresh herbs like dill, chives, or parsley can be stirred in just before serving to add a fresh layer of flavor.
Flavor Development: Make the salad a day ahead. The flavors meld together and intensify when given time to sit, making the salad even more flavorful the next day.
Storage: Store the potato salad in an airtight container in the fridge. It typically stays fresh for up to 3-4 days.
Serving: Serve the salad chilled, but letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving can enhance the taste and texture.

‘TIMI DAKOLO IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN
So I’ve always considered myself an elite music enthusiast given my taste for a wide range of music genres. Or at least I used to. That is, until the allure of ‘organised noise’ captivated me and turned me into just another gyrating zombie. It didn’t matter if the beat had been sampled from another hit song or if the lyrics were watered down beyond kindergarten level. It didn’t matter if most of the words in the song had been manufactured from the artiste’s anus, I sha wanted to dance. I guess even I was no match for the gravitational pull of the bandwagon effect.
However, while in my humdrum state of artistic malnourishment, one musician constantly reminded me of what good music should sound like. Like a guardian angel desperate to bring me over from the dark side, he constantly reminded me of the reason why music is so often said to be food for the soul. Any time his music came on I did feel like I had been fed, and like my soul had been nourished. He sent me to rehab with his music and cured me of my addiction to mindless gyration (I still rock a mean shoki routine though). His professionalism and approach to music sets him miles and miles apart from his contemporaries. At a glance, you can tell that this enigma is simply in a league of his own
His name is Timi Dakolo.
Ever since his big break in 2007 as the inaugural winner of Idols West Africa, many would have expected him to blaze hot for a bit and then wither away into musical oblivion like many others before and after him. Alas! That never happened. He came through with classy and ever green songs over the years from ‘Let It Shine’, to ‘Great Nation’, to ‘Iyawo Mi’, letting industry watchers know that he wasn’t going anywhere any time soon. What is even more admirable about Timi Dakolo is his refusal to conform to the commercial trends of the music industry. He seems to understand that music is business, so come hell or high water; he is sticking to his own script. In an era where artistes like Iyanya (his story is the go-to guide on How To Blow) and more recently Praiz are switching lanes faster than our Nigerian politicians change party affiliations, this is very laudable. In an era where the average Nigerian musician is on the lookout for the current trend to latch onto and make a quick buck, Timi Dakolo remains unfazed. He is unperturbed, and I can’t help but marvel at the balls on him. Trends do not drive him, content does, and he more than proves in the song ‘Wish Me Well’, a song that talks about the desire to do whatever it takes in the achievement of dreams and the pursuit of happiness. ‘The Vow’ is his latest hit single.
In a sky full of stars, Timi Dakolo shines the brightest, up above the rest, in a league of his own

text: Sudoku Sunrise gives you the ability to determine the features that you want in the game. The game starts with a screen asking you what mode you would like to play; Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard. Once you select a mode, you go to the game and there are features that you can change. You can decide whether you would like to get hints for the game, and either turn this feature on or off. You can also use the pencil method; another feature that you can turn on and off. If you had already used the pencil marks and want to go back to the scan method, you can clear all the pencil marks with the click of a button. You can also say whether you want to use the mouse or the keyboard to input numbers in the grid. When you use the mouse, you click on a box and a pad will emerge with the numbers 1 to 9 and you click on the number that you want to use. To delete a number, you use the X mark that is found on the keypad. To use the keyboard, you navigate across the grid using the arrow keys, and then input the numbers using the Numpad. This is a great game for training purposes since it allows you to save the game and you can come back to it later. You can also add a random number to help you get along; this is not a hint. You can also print the game so that you can continue playing it when you are on the road. Eventually you will get to finish it. This is a very flexible game allowing you to go back as many times as you would want to, if you feel that you made a mistake somewhere.

This paper explores the political, legal, and ethical issues at stake in the debate over the custody of the Iraqi Baath Party records. The dispute over the records' past and discussion about their future reveals a larger political struggle over the custody of records seized during wartime. Prevailing international law deems these records cultural property and provides legal guidelines for their treatment and return. Ethical arguments in favor of the seizure highlight the protection of the records as well as their accessibility to international researchers and human rights lawyers, while arguments against the seizure stress the importance of the records to the formation of national identity and nation-building in Iraq. Underlying the political, legal, and ethical arguments surrounding these records are two contrasting views of cultural property: on the one hand, cultural property is seen as an expression of national rights to which members of a nation are entitled, and, on the other hand, access to cultural property is seen as a universal human right to which all people, regardless of national affiliation, are entitled. This paper concludes by suggesting a third, postcolonial approach to cultural property.

Viviane Sassen — Hot Mirror
Words by Ben Perdue
The surrealism-inspired photographer’s new ‘image-poems’ combine landscapes with collage at The Hepworth Wakefield.
A sense of the surreal is what sets Viviane Sassen’s fashion photographs apart. Her unexpected compositions, use of colour and simple love of light lend editorial stories a fine art edge. And it’s the unconventional beauty of her approach that inspired The Hepworth Wakefield to present an exhibition of the Dutch photographer’s work this summer, timed to coincide with its Lee Miller and Surrealism in Britain show; a strange and remarkable double-bill, dedicated to the influential arts movement that connects both women.
Viviane Sassen: Hot Mirror combines images from previous collections with a new series of landscapes shot on holiday with her family in Namibia, experimenting with mirrors and coloured perspex in the sand dunes. Collages feature throughout – in keeping with the surrealist undercurrent – and are used by Sassen to create shifting narratives that treat pictures like words. Sequences of images become sentences in ‘image-poems’, and as their order is shuffled or overlaid, the story they tell changes too. It makes navigating the space an immersive experience that deepens further when watching her dreamlike film of mirrored moments, Totem, updated with a new cut for the exhibition.
To commemorate such a groundbreaking show, The Hepworth Wakefield reunited Sassen with iconic Amsterdam-based book designer, Irma Boom, for the accompanying catalogue. Having worked together on the beautiful black-on-black, foil-covered folder of prints and pamphlets that made up UMBRA, released in 2014, it was a relationship the gallery were keen to extend. For Hot Mirror, published by Prestel, she breaks up Sassen’s mythical pictures with snippets of the photographer’s own writing, setting each shot in context with a glimpse into its conception.
“We are excited that the book is not a typical exhibition catalogue, but instead an artistic collaboration between Viviane Sassen and Irma Boom,” explains Lauren Barnes, Curator at The Hepworth Wakefield. “It’s important that the books accompanying our exhibitions are creative projects in themselves that draw on the talents of the most important designers working today. Bold in their vision and sensitive in their responsiveness to artists and their work. So we’re delighted with the book for Viviane’s show.”

There has been no mention of reopening the closed firehouses or hiring additional EMTs. When you combine these facts with a rapidly increasing population, the math frankly does not look good for anyone expecting a timely response to their 911 calls.
Here is the very basic math:
As you can see in the math above, 1000 new police officers would not result a significant amount of new patrols on a neighborhood level. 1000 new officers divided by 98 commands (77 neighborhood Precincts, 12 transit districts, 9 housing ‘service areas’) equals 10.2 new officers per station. 10 officers divided by 3 shifts yields 3 additional officers per shift (or, one patrol car and a foot post).
2 additional patrols per stationhouse sounds good, but we haven’t factored in the retirement rate yet. Unfortunately, this is currently an unknown number.
What is known about the attrition rate doesn’t look good: One article (from 2013) states 3000 officers are set to retire. This is backed by a story from 2012. Former city councilman Peter Vallone stated at the time that “I think people should be extremely worried…”.
Assuming the old published numbers are correct, we’re going into the red and 1000 new officers won’t make up the difference.
“I think people should be extremely worried” – Peter Vallone
Current police commissioner Bratton wants to add 450 officers to an anti-terrorism team “…partly to counter the increasing domestic threat posed by ISIS sympathizers. “.
Obvious math: Half of the 1000 new officers would go to replace officers being transferred to this counter terrorism team. How will this yield any new, day to day first responder protections for when people dial 911?
Let’s look at the revised math:
After Bratton’s anti-terror take, we have 1.8 new officers per command. Factor in sick days, injuries, vacation, retirements, and the tally is probably closer to zero new patrols/officers per precinct – and that’s probably being optimistic.
DeBlasio’s zero funding for new officers, combined with the unknown attrition rate, sick days, injuries, and vacation, results in a staffing level that is well into the red. The only way to fix that is either with extreme overtime (NYPD is expected to spend $672 Billion on NYPD overtime this year) or decreased patrols. Mandatory overtime on an already stressful, life-threaten job will absolutely have a negative impact on the quality of work performed by these officers – which is already under question even on a good day.
While I don’t have the current data on retirement rates (because it is not publicly available – I looked quite a bit), the conclusion I’m ready to draw is this: Even if 1000 new officers are hired, they will not likely yield more patrols. Bratton’s mismanagement will make the situation worse, and DeBlasio’s ‘hire no new cops’ policy makes no sense. Less police patrols will result in increased response times to 911 calls. I welcome our elected officials to prove overwise.
As we have seen, some NYC neighborhoods are exploding in population growth – growth that will only increase in the coming years. As it stands now, these neighborhoods will receive no additional police patrols despite literally tens of thousands of new residents. These neighborhoods are actually losing significant police protection via a decreased ratio of officers to population. If you live in a rapidly growing neighborhood, you should be extremely concerned – if not outright livid at this situation.
NYC on a whole has a population of 8.5 Million people at the moment. This is up from 8.1 Million in 2000. (It’s worth noting that in 2004 the NYPD employed an estimated 40,000 officers). It is projected by some that by 2020 NYC may have up to 9 Million people living within city limits. The number is still higher when you consider tourist and commuters.
In neighborhoods like Greenpoint, LIC and Williamsburg, the significant new population increases combined with decreased police and fire protection will absolutely result in higher response times and likely preventable deaths.
Significant new population increases combined with decreased police and fire protection will absolutely result in higher response times and likely preventable deaths.
While our city council seem to love trumping this ‘1000 new police officers’ line as a win for the public, it is in fact a loss. Bratton’s desire to add 450 officers to an anti-terror team to protect against lunatics on the other side of the planet is questionable, and DeBlasio’s refusal to hire more officers while the NYPD runs up huge overtime tabs makes absolutely no fucking sense at all. Combined, the council, police commissioner and mayor are displaying a stunning level of stupidity and contempt for the safety of NYC citizens and the lives of first responders. And this is happening against the backdrop of explosive population growth, further increasing the risks
When you add in the already reduced fire department staffing across the city, the message our elected officials are sending is very clear: Pay your taxes (unless you’re a developer), and pray you never have to call 911, because help is not on the way.
The more things change, the more they stay the same… But hey, at least you get a cab to the hospital via Uber now?
Yes this website and much of our usual audience enjoy activities that are completely harmless yet “illegal” (trespassing into abandoned places) but unless firearms are going to be legalized in NYC, there needs to be someone to protect those who perhaps can’t or don’t know how to protect themselves. Besides, so far the media outlets are refusing to pick up this story, so who better than us rebels to expose the truth? – Control.
The latest news is that Mayor DeBlasio has flip-flopped, and authorized the hiring of up to 1300 new officers (As recently as June 5 he argued we need no new officers).
In theory, 1300 officers will yield roughly 4 officers per command. However, the extra 300 are already earmarked for anti-terror patrols. This brings us back to 1000 new available officers to spread across 98 commands on 3 shifts – the same math at the top of this article. Population is still exploding in growth, and no one is talking about the attrition rate at the NYPD – a number that is still officially concealed from the public. According to one recent article, “Det. Robert Thybulle of the 67th Precinct said that some 500-700 officers are headed for retirement in the next year, so the hiring spree is really not a huge gain.” . That would leave us with maybe 300-400 new officers, spread again, across 98 commands and 3 shifts – roughly one per command. Factor in sick days, vacation, etc… and the actual amount of new officers on patrol is right around zero.
In short, the news of 1300 new hires likely changes absolutely nothing on a neighborhood by neighborhood level. The only thing that has been proven is DeBlasio is a flip-flopper.

As we are getting ready to wrap up July and head into August I have quick memory keeping project I want to share with you.
I’m currently working on getting my January – June Project Life album wrapped up, which means I’m moving into my second album for the second half of the year.
I wanted to share my Title Page, and Page Lifter designs with you today.
The title page, and page lifter came together very quickly. To keep things easy I used the same set of pattern paper for both July, and the title page.
I found this Echo Park Day In The Life Kit was perfect for both sets of projects. I honestly wish I would love have picked up two sets of these.
This simple title page is perfect for the second half of my album.
Most of the time I enjoy being a bit more creative with my main title page, this second half of the album works well with a simple layout.
Product Brake Down & Information:
Any of the embellishments, or extra items I use either come from Ali Edwards, or Stampin Up.
Each month I receive the Ali Edwards Story Kit, Stamp Kit, and Stories by the month. This has allowed me to build up a nice collection of items to use on my pages.
Ali Edwards embellishments, kits, and stamps are my absolute favorite for memory keeping. I’m enjoying using the Stories By The Month for my main product each month.
You can check out all of Ali’s products HERE.
You can purchase any of the Stampin Up product that I’ve used in today’s project in my online store HERE, or by clicking on the photos below.
Next week we will be diving into all the fun things happening August! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I will catch you next week.


The Quays Theatre at the Lowry today was bursting at the seams with Sooty fans of all ages. As the Sooty Show has been running since 1955 the majority of people in the audience regardless of whether they were a parent or a grandparent has had an opportunity to enjoy the cheeky antics of Sooty and his friends in their childhood. The Sooty show was presented for 20 years by Harry Corbett on TV, and then from 1976 by his son, Matthew, and is currently aired on CITV hosted by Richard Cardell.
I can hear the shouts already echoing as readers race to call me out as a dreadful cynic once again as I claim to be ambivalent towards Theatre which tries to effect social change. It’s not why I do Theatre and my politics is honestly shaped more from Bruce Springsteen than any play I’ve ever seen. It makes me cynical of other people’s attempts to press burning issues upon us through Theatre.
The third and final piece of Opera North's quirky fairytale offerings was put into the jigsaw this evening. First we had a re-imagined modern version of Cinderella, followed by Humperdinck's Hansel And Gretel, but the piece de resistance must surely be Rimsky-Korsakov's unknown but beautiful scoring for his opera The Snow Maiden, the composer's own favourite work.
Hansel and Gretel is the second of Opera North’s three new production of fairytale operas to hit the Lowry Theatre in Salford.
It was a beautiful March evening at the Lowry with an auditorium full of people aged 40 and above with not a child in sight to watch the well known and beloved Hansel and Gretel fairytale by the Brother Grimm.
David Bintley’s remarkable adaptation of Cinderella was brought to the Lowry Theatre in Salford offered a night of enchantment and escapism. A large lopsided clock dominated the stage as the audience took to their seats and settled down for the first act. There were three acts, with two twenty-minute intervals during the ballet providing plenty of time for refreshments and toilet breaks.
Beautiful Monster is a biography of the writer Mary Shelly told on her death bed and focusing on the story of Mary, her husband Percy Shelly and their relationships with the other romantic writers of the time, notably Byron, Keats and Polidori. This is a period of literature I have always been fascinated with, creative genius, debauchery, excesses and exiles, so I was very much looking forward to seeing how writer and director Karlton Parris and his theatre company Skint Productions interpreted this hedonistic area.
Advertised as a celebration of dance in all its forms // in enticing bitesize performances, I was really looking forward to this. The best bits of international dance companies with varying styles, showcasing the wonderful world of dance.
The reality wasn't actually quite like that sadly. Although the items on offer were indeed utterly superb, that much is undeniable, the reality didn't fulfil the advertising.
About one third of his way through his latest tour: comedy writer, journalist, radio DJ, and now also raconteur took to the Lowry's Quays Theatre stage with his own inimitable fast-taking lively non-stop banter.
He is an extremely animated and passionate speaker, and also one that can digress from a digression but always will get back to the original story eventually. This habit of his however, means that every show will be different, and some audiences will get certain anecdotes whilst others will laugh at something else entirely.
Tales of Offenbach is not a familiar title to most opera- or theatre-lovers. Offenbach’s Tales of Hoffmann may have a secure place in the hearts of many, but the two pieces that make up this jolly romp of a show have remained deep in obscurity for over a century. Croquefer, from 1857, and L’Ile de Tulipatan from 1868 are here triumphantly revived in Jeff Clarke’s racy English translation by the inventive and resourceful members of Opera della Luna. First performed in this version last year, the show is now revived for a short tour.
This 40-minute mesmerizing show is realized and performed by Dasha Rush and Stanislav Glazov. It was first performed at the Mutek Festival in Canada as is the second time Dasha and Stanislav have worked together. Their previous work was Antarctic Takt, which was a single layer projection performance.

- Dubai World and the government of Benin have entered negotiations to develop large-scale tourist attractions in the West African country, including a 32 km beachfront development and building of an international hotel in the capital city of Porto Novo.
Benin was chosen for major investments by the leading global holding company after its Chairman, Mr Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem and a team of senior officials from various group companies, including James Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai World Africa, the group's investment arm in the continent.
The company's executive team also discussed potential business partnership opportunities with the President of Benin, Boni Yayi.
"The steadily growing trade relations between Dubai and Benin are encouraging," Mr Sulayem concurred. "This gives confidence to Dubai World to engage in business ventures with Benin, which has high growth potential in West Africa."
He hailed President Yayi's "efforts to give a new focus for the country's economy with farsighted plans for overall development."
"Benin has made impressive economic recovery in recent years and is now poised for a future that holds huge promise. The government's policy on clear governance, liberalization and privatisation has provided the economy the much needed vigour for growth. This is the kind of investment atmosphere that Dubai World is searching for," he said.
For Mr. James Wilson, the the Benin partnership will provide Dubai World Africa with another opportunity to shape eco-tourism in the continent.
"The involvement of Dubai World Africa in the masterplanning of the beachfront and the development of game parks, will not only boost the country's tourism industry, but will also preserve the unique qualities of Benin's natural beauty," he said.
"Dubai World Africa will be sending wildlife and ecology experts from it existing game reserves in South Africa to Benin to evaluate its national parks. This is in keeping with the group's strategy to rehabilitate, develop and manage high-end game reserves across the African continent, demand for Eco-tourism and adventure tourism has shown a 90% growth over the past 5 years and is growing by 20% per annum," he said.
Dubai World has also shown interest in the international port of Cotonou on the Atlantic coast, which has modern facilities and is a key trade gateway to the West African market.
The group's flagship marine terminal operator, DP World, is said to be looking at the prospect of investing in port management and a possible free zone, areas where the group has stamped its seal of excellence across the world. The port handles trade in cotton, crude oil and palm products among other things.
Dubai World Africa's major projects in the continent include the world-class Shamwari Game Reserve, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve and Jock Safari Lodge in South Africa.
afrol News - It is called "financial inclusion", and it is a key government policy in Rwanda. The goal is that, by 2020, 90 percent of the population is to have and actively use bank accounts. And in only four years, financial inclusion has doubled in Rwanda.
afrol News - The UN's humanitarian agencies now warn about a devastating famine in Sudan and especially in South Sudan, where the situation is said to be "imploding". Relief officials are appealing to donors to urgently fund life-saving activities in the two countries.
afrol News - Fear is spreading all over West Africa after the health ministry in Guinea confirmed the first Ebola outbreak in this part of Africa. According to official numbers, at least 86 are infected and 59 are dead as a result of this very contagious disease.
afrol News - It is already a crime being homosexual in Ethiopia, but parliament is now making sure the anti-gay laws will be applied in practical life. No pardoning of gays will be allowed in future, but activist fear this only is a signal of further repression being prepared.
afrol News / Africa Renewal - Ethiopia's ambitious plan to build a US$ 4.2 billion dam in the Benishangul-Gumuz region, 40 km from its border with Sudan, is expected to provide 6,000 megawatts of electricity, enough for its population plus some excess it can sell to neighbouring countries.

Karl Sebastian Greenwood pled guilty to wire fraud and money laundering connected to the fraudulent OneCoin scheme, the Department of Justice announced.
Greenwood co-founded OneCoin along with so-called “Crypto Queen”-turned-fugitive Ruja Ignatova in 2014, after which the two perpetrated a multibillion-dollar global scam.
“Greenwood and his co-conspirators, including fugitive Ruja Ignatova, conned unsuspecting victims out of billions of dollars, claiming that OneCoin would be the ‘Bitcoin killer.’ In fact, OneCoins were entirely worthless,” said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams.
Emails between Ignatova and Greenwood suggest a ploy to take advantage of investors. As they corresponded, the two plotted to simulate volatility and fix exchange prices. An estimate suggests victims invested over $4 billion in funds, according to the DOJ.
Ignatova, who remains on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s top 10 most wanted list, is still at large.

Iroquois, any member of the North American Aboriginal tribes speaking a language of the Iroquoian family—notably the Cayuga, Cherokee, Huron, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. The peoples who spoke Iroquoian languages occupied a continuous territory around Lakes Ontario, Huron, and Erie in present-day New York state and Pennsylvania (U.S.) and southern Ontario and Quebec (Canada). That larger group should be differentiated from the Five Nations (later Six Nations) better known as the Iroquois Confederacy (self name Haudenosaunee Confederacy).

United Grain Acquires Two Scoular Grain Facilities in Oregon, Idaho
United Grain Corp. announced it has acquired two grain facilities from Nebraska-based Scoular Company, expanding its operations in both Oregon and Idaho.
Based in Vancouver, Washington, United Grain has taken ownership of a grain storage and shipping operation in Ontario, Oregon, that will primarily deal with wheat, however, United Grain has stated that it will work with Scoular over the coming year on the company's corn program.
United Grain already operates a terminal in Umatilla on the Columbia River, and decided to seize the opportunity to add the Ontario facility to its local holdings. Most of the area’s wheat is loaded on barges at United Grain’s McNary terminal and transported down the Columbia River to the export facility for shipment to Asia, and the acquisition of the Ontario facility will expand the company’s ability to “bring markets for more crops in the area”.

text: Walmart defends its poor labor practices as necessary to keep prices down. But as Walmart’s sales dropped with its payrolls, other retailers have proven that treating workers well is not mutually exclusive to a good deal. Walmart’s competitor, Costco, offers its employees an average wage of $21.96 an hour, about 40 percent more than Walmart employees make. Costco enjoyed a 19 percent increase in profits last quarter as Walmart sank, generating much more revenue and profit per worker. WinCo, a smaller grocery chain based in Idaho, boasts full health benefits for anyone working over 24 hours a week and retirement accounts for more than 400 workers — while maintaining prices even lower than Walmart’s.

My neck get so tired that it hard to hold it up with out pain. Then at night my neck and back in pain no matter how I try to sleep.any suggestions on how to deal with the pain.
Same thing happened to me last night... Left side of neck and shoulder were killing me. I ended up taking a valium. It worked, I slept. This morning still sore but no where close to the severity of last night.
I have a neck brace which I wear during the day and it helps.ope you are feeling better this morning.
Feeling a little better but just depressed today because I get confused when I am in pain. Hope you doing better too
Oh I am so sorry… I know how you feel… Hang in there… Speaking of confused… I took a paper towel to dry my hands but instead put it under the running water… Scary. Hope you feel better tomorrow!
I’m keep saying there be better days ahead. Just don’t understand why I have chiari which took my life I had away from me. Can’t work just sit at home and stay to myself. Hope you have better days too.
Remember you are not alone …I’m here if you want to vent/ share your pain. I wish I could make it go away for you Are you on any meds for your pain?
Yes I’m on some muscle relaxation pills. But they don’t help and can’t get the doctor to understand Ndola that. Thank you for being there for me.
Depression is very common with Chiari. I have been on several anxiety/depression medications for several years, however, now I completely off of all prescription drugs. I was having too many side effects from them and unfortunately the best one for me, Lexapro, only seems to help for about 2 years and then the effectiveness wears off. I've been trying the natural way for now. St. John's Wort, exercise, and getting some fresh air. Exercise is tricky when you have Chiari, but honestly there is something out there that can work with anyone's restrictions. For example, walking, swimming, dancing, chair exercises, jazzercise, and my personal favorite, just doing any kind of movements that gets my heart rate up in my house. If anyone peeked in my window they would think I've gone nuts!! ;-) My goal is to do at least 10 minutes a day. I love when I get 30 minutes. It's amazing how much better i feel emotionally when I can say, "Well I did my 10, at least I wasn't just sitting on the coach!" Sometimes I'm still in my p.j's!!
With the sleeping; Years ago I found a pillow online for chiarians called, Zipperhead pillows. I LOVE my pillow! I take it on every trip! Maybe give that a try.
Hope my opinions give you some useful information.
We’re can you buy the zipperhead pillow.
I bought mine online. This is the same image on the tag of my pillow. Hopefully that helps.
Thanks everyone it make me feel better to know you care. I going try to get away from the house today and move around. Hope you all doing good

Abel Janszoon Tasman was a Dutch seafarer who in 1642 became the first European known to have visited New Zealand. He named the land he had encountered "Staten Landt", as he believed it might be linked to a Staten Landt in South America. The following year another Dutch navigator showed that the South American Staten Landt was a small island, not part of a continent, so cartographers changed Tasman's name to Nieuw Zeeland, after the Dutch province of Zeeland. Captain Cook anglicised the name to New Zealand, and that's stuck, although we now sometimes call our country "Aotearoa [land of the long white cloud] New Zealand".
It's an odd accident of history that our country has been named after an area that's physically so different, but these days New Zealand very much has its own identity.
New Zealand is a land of mountains and lakes, coasts and forests. It's the setting for my books, and it's my home.

VINE SWEETLAND & THE FOREFATHERS OF THE NEW MILLENIUM (Light Shining In The Distance) CD
That`s very very untypical music for the Cosmic Lava, because of the fact that you doesn't find one heavy riff on it. This album contains only one long trip ( 73:52 min.). This musical journey is filled with poetry about a dying guru which inspires a young caterpillar for her further life. A lot of musicians , that are fronted by Vine Sweetland (one of the most recognized names in the Californian spoken word scene) are playing forty different instruments like Tablas, Sitar, Tambura and a lot of other instruments from different continents. It's very psychedelic and this trip reminds me to early 70's Space or Artrock bands, but like I said before this is no Rock album. The form of poetry you can hear on classics like HAWKWIND's "Warrior On The Edge Of Time".
But that's only a small term to describe this musical journey. The music is very relaxed and it sounds more like a session with all the different instruments, but inside the booklet the song is undertitled in 27 parts, but that's only important for the story behind the music, I think. The music is ok, I think but the poetry isn't my cup of tea in some moments. Aside of the Eastern instruments, you can hear some piano parts, acoustic guitars etc. In those moments the song changes more into a Folk direction and so this album is like a psych-version of World Music. So, if you're open-minded enough you should give this disc a try, maybe if you need a break in these fast times. For more informations contact ZEMIRA

To understand the concept of adiabatic phenomena, first Boyle’s law is applied to the simple set-up of Fig. 1. It is assumed that both compartments have constant volume and temperature.
The amount of gas in both compartments together is proportional pa·Va + pb·Vb which holds with the closed valve (at time zero) as well as after equilibration of the pressures (at time t) when the valve has been opened. So, it holds that :
pa, 0·Va + pb, 0·Vb = pt·(Va + Vb). (0)
With given pa, 0, pb, 0, Va and Vb =, pt· can be calculated. However, this is only true when T in the whole system remains constant, i.e. isothermic compression and expansion holds. In daily life, a bicycle pump becomes warm when a tire is inflated. This is due to heat transfer from the heated, compressed air in the pump. When the heat produced by compression is not given off to the environment but “absorbed” by the gas it self, or when the energy needed for expansion is not provided by the environment but provided by the expanding gas itself, than Boyle’s law does not hold. So, a compressing gas heats and an expanding gas cools down. These processes are called adiabatic compression and expansion. The deviation from Boyle’s law can be very substantial (Fig. 2), as will be explained conceptually with the example of Fig. 1.
When the valve has a very narrow opening, the process of equilibration takes so much time (tens of minutes) that the whole process is isothermic. There is enough time for heat release and uptake between the system and the environment. When the equilibration is very fast (about a second; pipe and valve diameter large) the process is practically adiabatic and the changes of temperature can rather well be calculated.
For ideal gases under pure adiabatic conditions the p-V relation is:
p·Vγ = constant, (1)
with γ a numerical value greater than 1 and depending on the type of gas. γ is the so-called cp/cV ratio, the ratio of heat capacity of the gas (cp) with constant p and the specific heat capacity of the gas (cV) with constant V. It depends on the number of atoms in the gas molecule. For mono-atomic gases, e.g. the noble gases, γ is 5/3. For diatomic gases, for instance air, γ is 7/5 (= 1.4). More precisely, cp/cV =is :
cp/cV = cp/(cp-R), (2)
where R the universal gas constant (see Gas laws).
Fig.2 Isothermic and adiabatic p-V relation. The dashed curve gives the p-V relation according to Boyle’s law and the dashed straight horizontal line the temperature belonging to it. The solid curve represents the adiabatic p-V relation and the thick solid curve gives the adiabatic temperature. n = 0.1 kmol.
As follows from Eq (1), reducing a volume by a factor k1 gives a pressure increase much higher than k (being k1.4). Conceptually, one can say that a factor k is due to the volume decrease according to Boyle and that the remaining factor, k0.4, is caused by the temperature increase.
An isothermal p-V curve according to Boyle and an adiabatic p-V curve are depicted in Fig. 2. Numerically, the resulting temperature effect can be very substantial. A further description of adiabatic processes can be found in More info. Since textbooks seldom give examples how to calculate the adiabatic effect, an example is given in More Info.
Adiabatic effects are seldom applied and in contrary, are generally unwanted. So, prevention is required. (Semi)-artificial breathing apparatus (home care pulmonary diseases, pulmonology, IC, surgery theatre) should have valves, tubes etc. designed in such a way that valves are not blocked by freezing and the breathing gas is not cooled down by adiabatic effects. Adiabatic effects also play a role in the technology of (clinical) hyperbaric chambers, high pressure gas tanks and diving regulators.
In the human (and mammalian) body), compression and expansion of gas filed cavities, adiabatic effects play now role. Even when one dives in the water from some tens of meters altitude, the temperature rise in the cavities is physiologically irrelevant since the process is sufficiently isotherm.
A medical imaging method, Optoacoustic Imaging is based on adiabatic processes.
The exponent γ is the cp/cV ratio, the ratio of heat capacity of the gas (cp) with constant p and the specific heat capacity of the gas (cV) with constant V. The complicated derivation can be found in physical textbooks. Here, a conceptual explanation is given.
The process of compression always has the same energetic cost, so independent of the velocity of the compression. This external energy is added to the intrinsic energy of the gas, which is actually the kinetic energy of the particles. The kinetic energy of the particles is proportional with the temperature. When the external energy is supplied instantaneously, it is completely added to the kinetic energy of the particles. When the compression is slow, then during the time of compression, the particles have the time to transfer a part of their kinetic energy to the vessel wall. The result is that the temperature of the gas raises less and the temperature of the wall increases. When the compression is extremely slow, the gas remains its temperature since all external energy is (indirectly) transferred to the environment. Now, the compression is isothermic and Boyle's law holds.
For instantaneous compression, the increase can be calculated as follows. Suppose that volume V with pressure p is compressed to V’ yielding a new pressure p’. Applying Eq. (1) means that:
p·Vγ = p’(V’)γ . (3).
Before compression and after compression the universal gas law (see Gas laws) holds, so that pV = nRT and p’V’ = nRT’ (T’ is the new temperature), and some more calculation yields:
ΔT = T’ – T = T((V/V’)(γ -1) - 1) (4)
This relation also holds for volume expansion.
In a similar way, for a given change of pressure it can be derived that:
ΔT = T((p/p’)(γ-1)/ γ - 1). (5)
Example of calculation
Suppose, everything ideal, that a gas volume at 300 K (27 oC) is instantaneously reduced in volume by a factor 2.5 and that there is no heat transport. According to Eq. (4) this yields ΔT = 300 x (2.50.4 - 1) = 133 K. However, due to the temperature increase, a much higher factor of pressure increase is obtained (being 2.51.4 = 3.6) rather than the factor of 2.5 according to Boyle’s law. Actually, a compression-factor of 1.92 (= 2.51/1.4) is required to obtain p = 2.5 bar. Then, the temperature increase becomes 300 x (1.920.4 – 1) = 90 K.
The equation p·Vγ = constant works also the other way around. Suppose that the pressure p is increased instantaneously to k·p by a factor of k. Then, according to Boyle, the volume V reduces with a factor k, but now, the reduction is only a factor k 1/1.4. Again, in the pressure increase, a “Boyle factor” k1/1.4 and a “temperature factor” k0.4/1.4 are comprised. Of course, these two factors together have to yield k (= k1/1.4·k0.4/1.4). Now, with k = 2.5 and T = 300 K the temperature increase is again 90 K (2.50.4/1.4x300 K).
In practice, it appears that the processes of compression and expansion are seldom purely adiabatic or purely isothermic. When the process is in between the calculation is complicated and, moreover in practice valves may block by freezing, for instance the valve of Fig.1. This may result in oscillatory behavior between blocking and unblocking by freezing and unfreezing.

Brody Jenner Just Got Married in Bali, and Not a Single KarJenner Attended the Wedding
Congratulations are in order for Brody Jenner and his bride!
This weekend, Jenner and his longtime girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter, wed on the island of Nihi Sumba, off the coast of Indonesia during an intimate ocean-front ceremony. While the setting was idyllic, the guest list of 50 close friends and family was missing a few familiar faces.
Notably, Jenner's half-siblings Kendall and Kylie, as well as his father, Caitlyn, were not in attendance. Also, not so surprising, none of the Kardashians made the trip to the tropical destination.
It was previously reported that Brody's little sisters never RSVP'd to his wedding. “My two little sisters, we never even heard from them. They never even RSVP’d I don’t think,” he told People earlier this week. “We sent them an invite but we just never heard anything back.”
While Kendall and Kylie left Brody in the dark about their plans, Caitlyn let her son know ahead of time that she wouldn't be able to make it to his upcoming nuptials due to a work conflict. "Caitlyn has work commitments that have been set up for months and couldn’t be changed in the end,” a source told People.
“She will be throwing a big party for them when the newlyweds return to town,” the insider added.
Ok, so who was there? Brody's mother, Linda Thompson, and brother Brandon watched as the couple said their "I do's."
Jenner and Carter met at a party in 2013 and were engaged three years later when the former reality star popped the question at the resort where they wed.
“He was really honest about what he wanted, no messing around, and I found that really charming and refreshing," said Carter. "Pretty soon after we started dating, I thought it could be for life.”

Loves, this is not another gratitude post. This is a how to live in the now and not let thoughts, feelings and relatives (alive or dead) drive you insane post.
The video above is proof of bloodlines. My son is not just another kid dancing flamenco on bubble wrap. This is the spirit of my grandmother, Mama Chelo, who passed away last year just shy of her 106th birthday. She and I used to dance flamenco together in her living room.
In the U.S. lots of families and friends are gathering tomorrow to inhale large amounts of food, hold hands and express gratitude. There may also be some grief for the empty seats around the table.
Their Spirits Run Through You
One of my greatest teachers, Thich Nhat Hanh, has taught me so much about love, grief, anger and staying present. When it comes to grief, he reminds us that the blood of our ancestors runs through us. I think my son’s dancing is empirical evidence of that fact given that he only met Mama Chelo once. (See the photo below.) I’d take that theory even further and assert that amazing people who have influenced our lives, and may not be blood relatives, also run through us. Sit in the knowledge that some part of the way we interact with the world is credited to the people who came before us.
Take the Car Keys from the Crazy-Makers
I imagine several of you may also be rehearsing conversations in your heads with certain family members. You may be anticipating conflict or a nice serving of guilt ladled out with the gravy. Or maybe you’re spending it alone and mourning disappointments for a lost childhood.
If you’ve ever thought, “He drives me crazy,” here’s a suggestion: don’t hand him (or her) the car keys. And that goes for your thoughts and feelings too. You are the only licensed driver of your heart and head. Why hand the keys over to someone who’s had too much chardonnay?
Here’s one solution for you. It’s a short RAIN meditation recently gifted to me:
R-recognize (just notice what’s in your mind)
A-awareness (be aware of any feeling associated with what’s in your mind at the time of meditation)
I-investigate (investigate in your body from the neck down where you feel it)
N-natural observation (do you have evidence in your natural surroundings to support or refute your feelings or thoughts)
Keep in mind RAIN is just observing and feeling–nothing more. No analyzing or judging. It doesn’t even need to make sense. To learn more about this meditation, click here.
Finally, if you need extra help, check out this article “Let it Go” from Psychology today, which details steps to help you do just that.
And if all else fails: find some bubble wrap, start dancing and shout, “Olé!”

- We have been to various sites around Lake Garda over some 40 years. This was our third visit to Weekend and it is the most impressively located sites we have ever been on. Generally we prefer to eat out in local restaurants, etc, but at Weekend the restaurant is so good, reasonably priced and with such fantastic views over Lake Garda that we eat there on the lawn almost every night. This is Italy, so it goes without saying the staff (and of course couriers) and local people are all friendly, and the food and wine unsurpassable.

You know how sometimes you see an electric motorcycle and instantly imagine other design compositions on the same frame basis. This is exactly what Luuc Muis was thinking when he redesigned the KTM Freeride E electric motorcycle.
As a form study to show that electric motorcycles have factory customizing potential to create a different motorcycle for several uses with the same drivetrain. I decided to take a commercially available E-bike, in this case, a KTM Freeride E and transform it from the MX bike it is to a trail bike inspired by BMX.
Keeping the drivetrain original and front part from the frame. Lowering the front and eliminating the rear suspension, swing arm and side frame support plates. Creating a hardtail short based bike that represents the geometrics of a BMX type trail bike. Adding axle foot pegs, and lowering the position of the regular pegs gives you a lower center of gravity as a rider for tricks and slow riding. Therefore also no fenders to be in the way of wheeling and such. Overall I chose to keep the aesthetic of the bike similar to the original KTM Freeride E making it a factory ready custom application to the same base.
