Akron North Smothered 94 To 0
Massillon Team Scores 15 Times In Ninth Victory
Displaying an interference that swept aside its opponents like a strong wind blows chaff, the orange and black eleven of Washington high school Saturday afternoon ran rough shod over the Akron North high eleven on the Pearl street gridiron, burying the Summit county aggregation under a 94 to 0 score, the largest count ever piled up by a local high school eleven in recent years. It was Massillon’s ninth straight victory of the 1922 campaign and just another triumph to clinch its claim to scholastic football honor of Ohio.
A team that does not show improvement in each succeeding game must either be an aggregation without football brains or lacking in proper coaching. The local eleven Saturday showed a decided improvement with the interference it gave the player carrying the ball. From start to finish the visiting gridders were unable to break up the sterling way in which the orange and black blocked their attempts to break through and drill the man with the ball.
From the time Captain “Tink” Ulrich grabbed the first kickoff on the 19-yard line and ran 81 yards for a touchdown until the game ended with the Akron warriors so weary and worn out that they could hardly stand up it was just one touchdown after another. Fifteen times did the Massillonians plunge across the Akron goal line and had the final quarter been a minute longer the orange and black would have rolled up at least 100 points for they were headed for their sixteenth touchdown when time was up.
It is seldom that a player takes a handoff and runs through the entire punting team for a touchdown. But that’s what Captain Ulrich did twice Saturday. After his brilliant interference, the dark haired leader a few minutes later grabbed another Akron kickoff on his 10-yard line and scampered 90 yards through the visitors for a set of counters.
The way Coach Stewart’s lads took the Akronites out of the play was pleasing to watch and with such interference next Saturday the local team should be able to plow its way through Canton McKinley for a decisive victory.
Outside of the work done by Massillon there was very little to the game. Akron North was completely outclassed. It made but two first downs and these came on forward passes. Its offensive attack was finished before it got started, the orange and black linemen breaking though and smothering the play before the Akron player could get started.
That forward wall of Coach Stewart’s certainly played a bang up game Saturday. In fact it has done superb service all year but the way it smashed Akron North certainly did not look good for Canton.
Akron rooters on the sidelines claimed that it was North’s second team which was trying to stop the victory march of the orange and black. That assertion can be taken with a grain of salt for the visiting team was made up of the same players which North used in its game against Akron Central several weeks ago and it is certain that North did not send its second string men against Central in a battle for the championship of the rubber city.
Although Captain Ulrich’s long runs through the Akron eleven for touchdowns were the big features of the contest, the steady plunging of “Dutch” Hill, Massillon’s great fullback, rolled up many a point for the home team. Eight times Hill dashed across the Akron goal line. The visitors simply couldn’t stop him after he got under way. “Dutch’s” teammates saw to it that he got by the first Akron line of defense and from then on Hill took care of himself very well. The big fullback gained from five to 10 yards with six or eight Akron players hanging on to him, trying desperately to down him. Other times he bowled the entire Akron team over like a ball knocks over pins on a bowling alley and then would dash away for a touchdown leaving a trail of fallen Akron warriors in his wake.
On the first kickoff Ulrich grabbed the ball and dashed down the side of the field for a touchdown. Nary an Akron man came near him for his teammates were spilling them all over the field. A few minutes later Ulrich took the ball on his 40-yard line and went 60 yards for the second touchdown. It looked as if Akron had stopped “Tink” in midfield but all of a sudden the orange and black leader could be seen scrambling out from under a pile of Akronites and then ran unmolested for a touchdown.
On the next kickoff Ulrich took the ball on his 10-yard line and again the Massillon interference cleared the way so that its leader could run 90 yards for a touchdown. A slight injury forced Ulrich to retire early in the second quarter.
Before the first quarter ended Massillon had piled up 30 points and the score was only a question of how many points Massillon wanted to make. Hill made a touchdown in the first quarter on a 40-yard dash through the Akron line. A little later Roth intercepted an Akron pass on his 45-yard line and dashed away for the fifth set of counters.
The second quarter had barely started before Hill plunged through from the 10-yard line for a touchdown. A few minutes later Borza pounded his way through from the five-yard line for the seventh touchdown. Thomas ripped off 25 yards on a double pass from Hill taking the ball to the 15-yard line and from their Hill went through for touchdown No. 8. Near the close of the second quarter Miller intercepted a forward on Akron’s 50-yard line and in two plunges Hill was over for the ninth touchdown, carrying the ball from the 20-yard line.
Thomas added another point by drop kicking the ball over. It was the first point the orange and black made after touchdown. The quarter ended with Massillon having run up 55 points.
Although they had a 55 point lead the local eleven did not ease up in the final two quarters. The time was reduced from 15 to 12 minutes in order to enable Akron to finish on its feet. A short time later Hax returned an Akron punt 40-yards to Akron’s 49-yard line and on the next play Hill busted a hole in the Akron team and went through for a touchdown.
Hill ran 43 yards for the twelfth touchdown soon after the fourth quarter opened. On a punt Boerner carried the ball back to Akron’s 25-yard line and then the orange and black line opened up a hole and Hill went through for 25 yards and the thirteenth touchdown. Pflug kicked goal. Rohr intercepted an Akron pass on the visitor’s 31-yard line a short time later and Thomas and Hill took the oval to the one yard line in two plays. Then Kammer, playing his first game with the varsity, went through for a touchdown.
The kickoff was hardly over before Edwards pulled down an Akron pass on the visitors’ 30 yard line and then Midge Thomas went around end for the fifteenth touchdown. He kicked goal and the score stood at 94 to 0.
Time as nearly up but the orange black was on its way to another touchdown when the whistle blew. Coach Stewart’s lads played excellent football Saturday. Their defense w s like a stone wall and on offense they did as they pleased. Little was used by the youthful Tigers except straight football. There was no need for anything else. The line, composed of Edwards, Salberg, Miller ,Brooks, Kallaker, Pflug, and Roth, did yeoman service in stopping the Akron team.

Bill’s Off Day
A Good Omen,
So He Claims
Bill Edwards, smiling tackle of
the local high school team, whose
defensive playing has been a
bright spot all season, was a little
off form Saturday when it came
to hoisting drop kicks over the
bars for extra points after touch-
downs. Bill tried several times to
kick but each time the ball went
straight up in the air.
Then Bill gave it up for a bad
job. It was Bill’s kick which gave
Massillon a 7 to 6 victory over
“An off day today means a good
day next Saturday,” said Bill,
thinking of what he was going to
do to Canton McKinley a week

Top Ten Most Underrated Albums
The Top Ten
This is the only Linkin Park album that's worthy of being associated with what is supposedly (according to this website) one of the greatest alternative bands of all time. It's intelligent, it's forward-thinking, it's thought-out, this album is an absolute gem and too often I see it criticized for miniscule things like "why are the interludes their own tracks? " and "it's slower and has an electronic edge so it isn't good," completely missing the wonderful coherency and apocalyptic feel that is brought to the table through great songwriting and overall development and production of the album. You don't have to like it if it isn't your thing, but this album absolutely knocks it out of the park and deserves to be hailed as one of the defining greats of the 2010s.
This album is bad? Bitch please, first of all "Waiting for the end" one of the best songs they made. "Blackout" is just awesome so much energy. "Iridescent" phenomenal. "The catalyst" is a awesome song. "Burning in the skies" listened to it a thousand times. "The messenger" calm song with a lot of energy. A Thousand suns is a bad album? I THINK NOT.
Do you understand what "underrated" means? The fact that there are so many people defending it makes it not underrated. - Bboymakinwitthefrekfreak
I have read many bad comments/reviews about this album but all of them look nonsense. Changed Style? Short Songs? Oh please - 2 stupidest reasons ever. This album is great.
Linkin Park Rocks Forever! - Magnolia
Greatest album of all time if you listen to it with full attention, full patience, starting from the first track and without skipping any tracks, without any pauses. The whole album kinda flows. The lyrics are mind blowing.V 8 Comments
This Pink Floyd album, along with Meddle, deserves just as much recognition as the Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and the Wall!
Better than The Wall (only because the wall is technically a Roger waters album).
So Underrated, Pink Floyd is not only Dark Side Of The Moon or The Wall you know. - malamJONES
YES! All the songs are very deep and interesting,the riffs and keyboards are very well developed from Wish You Were Here,and there are some amazing solos (check out all the solos in dogs).
Sandra always was a very unique and deep artist. 'The Wheel of Time' is one of the her greatest works to date - Irina2932
Tolkien fans would love this album!
The worst Metallica album to me, but still a good album, all people do is say this album is terrible, it's not better than MoP or RtL, but still a good album... - doodad
2nd worst Metallica album (reload)
But at there worst its still a good album
This album is full of anger, as it was supposed to be.
I don't see the reason to hate it.
the band was better with Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven (or even Matt), but this album is really great! Chinese Democracy, Better, Shackler's Revenge, This I Love, Street of Dreams... - rock2metal
don't believe in those haters that this album is a flop, not at all, selling 2 million albums worldwide. today sales are much affected by downloads this album is a masterpiece. try it - ronluna
very underrated. it doesn't mean that guns suck without slash and others - ronlunaV 1 Comment

One of the key issues facing the health services in developing nations is their remoteness. Access to disease information, data for decision-making and the ability to deliver services are oftentimes limited. VIA developed a comprehensive strategy for the design of an Integrated Health Informatics Solution (GIHIS) for Ghana supported by mobile technology to address these issues. We worked hand-in-hand with the Ghana AIDS Commission to help provide guidance and leadership for its national response to the HIV and AIDS pandemic.
In a $5M project over 3 years, VIA partnered with GAC, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Morehouse School of Medicine and the University of Ghana School of Public Health to formulate an integrated national health information strategy (GIHIS) to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Crucial to success, VIA recognized that only rapid access to quality data can underpin decision-making and improve the overall management and performance of the health sector in its fight to combat HIV and AIDS.
VIA showcased how the use of mobile technology can break through health information silos, build capacity and increase the production of rapid access to critical health information while collaborating with multiple regional and national stakeholders.
VIA played a key role in designing and participating in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) workshops. These workshops demonstrated how mobile technology can be integrated into existing M&E concepts, methods and programs to aid in better decision-making at a national level.

What motivates a man to leave his home, wife and children on a cold night, to help Muslim refugees, who are marching towards the border of his country? Hans Breuer, a Jewish wandering Shepard in Austria who dedicates his life to help refugees throughout Europe, while singing Yiddish lullabies to comfort them. The film follows Hans and other ordinary citizens, who help refugees in any way they can. It is a thought-provoking film about compassion, its origins, and its boundaries while connecting Jewish history with current reality.

Capital Report: 04-21-2014
The Florida House has unveiled its proposal to overhaul the state’s troubled child welfare agency. Lynn Hatter reports it’s a continuation of efforts by lawmakers to revamp the agency after a Miami Herald Investigation revealed more than three-dozen children who had previous contact with the department, died.
A passionately, tearfully debated bill legalizing non-smoked medical marijuana is headed to the Florida House floor after passing its final committee today [Monday]. But as Jessica Palombo reports, some who voted for the measure warned they could not continue supporting it in its current form.
A passionately-debated effort to overhaul the Florida Retirement System has now been merged with a widely-supported effort to fix local government pensions. It’s part of an ongoing push by House Speaker Will Weatherford to get his state pension reform effort over the finish line. But, as Sascha Cordner reports, many are now speaking out against the now-merged House proposal Monday.
A bill that would impose new government ethics reforms is moving in the House again after a group of advocates called for action on the measure last week. Regan McCarthy has more…..
Someone - there’s some debate as to whether it was Will Rogers or Mark Twain - said you can tell when a politician is lying if their lips are moving. Certainly today’s hyper-charged political campaigns are often known for their casual approach to accuracy, as well as their incredible expense. Ryan Benk took a look at what’s happening in Florida in the ramp-up to this fall’s elections. He begins with a conversation with one of the state’s top political journalists.

The phone rang. I can’t tell you the day. I can’t tell you the month. I can only tell you it was around 25 years ago, and the whispery voice on the other end of the line said: “Hi, it’s Burt Bacharach.”
That started a most unlikely friendship. Burt had read one of my books (“My therapist turned me onto it,” he said, a line you don’t forget) and we met up in California and hit it off and we met again and did a few things together and later I wrote a novel about a musician that included him and he read his part for the audiobook, his rich, resonant narration telling an imagined encounter with my lead character.
But nothing I could have imagined compared to the real life — or the majesty — of Burt Bacharach and his music. He was gentle. He was elegant. He wore tuxedoes and had silver-flecked hair and even if you think you don’t know his work, you do, because there’s pretty much nobody over 20 in this country who hasn’t heard “Close to You,” or “That’s What Friends Are for,” or “What the World Needs Now is Love (Sweet Love),” or “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.”
Burt wrote all of those, and hundreds more, many with the lyricist Hal David, and many with the lyricist Carole Bayer Sager, whom he also married. And while he’d be the first to tell you “I had a few stinkers,” most of what Burt wrote was, in a word, beautiful.
You can’t say that about all popular music. You can’t even say it about hits. Some hits are just catchy, or hooky, or uniquely recorded, but they don’t approach beauty.
Burt Bacharach didn’t just approach it.
He captured it.
He certainly ‘made everything great’
Listen to the song “Alfie,” a tune that Burt once told me, if he had to pick one thing he’d written to present at the gates of heaven, that would be it.
From the opening line, “What’s it all about, Alfie?”, you simply cannot imagine any other music marrying those words. The melody shifts, the tempo shifts, the whole swerve of the song shifts, several times, until it’s more like a story than a tune, but that’s what Burt and Hal David were aiming for.
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you’ve missed
You’re nothing, Alfie …
The result was that rarest thing: a complex musical composition that became a huge hit for multiple artists, including Dionne Warwick, Cilla Black, Stevie Wonder and Cher. Not too many songwriters could attract that mix of talent. But then, Burt wrote songs for so many artists, from the Drifters (“Please Stay”) to the Shirelles (“Baby It’s You”) to Jerry Butler (“Make it Easy on Yourself”) to Tom Jones (“What’s New Pussycat”).
He met his muse, Warwick, in a backup group he was recording, which included a young Cissy Houston, who brought her school age daughter, Whitney, to their sessions. Burt was a magnet for all kinds of talent. But he truly loved Warwick’s voice, it matched the versatility with which he liked to write (“The more we recorded, the more chances I could take” he said) and their partnership resulted in a laundry list of huge hits, from “Do you Know the Way to San Jose” to “Walk on By” to “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.”
That last one is a perfect example of how brilliantly Bacharach would weave a melody so that, when it was over, you felt like you’d just listened to a catchy pop tune, yet he’d taken you through major, minor and diminished chord changes and even a key deviation.
“I never wanted to make it difficult for an audience,” he once told me. “I didn’t want to make it difficult to play …
“I just wanted to make everything great.”
Heartache followed him, too
Everything wasn’t always great for Burt personally. He couldn’t attend the best music schools because he’d been a “terrible student.” After serving in the Army, he was let go from an early gig orchestrating for Vic Damone because, he said, they claimed he spent too much time looking at women in the audience. He broke up his hugely profitable partnership with David over a petty business argument, a split he later regretted. (”You’re supposed to get smarter as you get older,” he lamented.)
He married often, four times total, once to actress Angie Dickinson after a drunken night in Las Vegas which culminated in a ceremony at 3:30 in the morning with Chuck Barris (of “The Gong Show”) as his best man.
“Why get married in such a fashion?” I once asked him.
“As opposed to what other fashion?” he said.
“Well, the kind where you set a date and invite people.”
“Oh, come on,” he said.
Burt’s first three marriages ended in divorce, and his daughter with Dickinson, Nikki, was born three months premature and died by suicide at age 40 in 2007 after a life battling autism.
So he knew tragedy, and heartbreak, as many great artists do. But he also knew joy, mostly when he was composing. He once said he had so much music running through his head, it was like “a jukebox” that woke him up at nights.
Who wouldn’t want to work with him?
The Beatles recorded one of Burt’s songs, so did Dusty Springfield and Christopher Cross (“Arthur’s Theme”) and Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald (“On My Own.”) He won Oscars and Grammys. He stamped careers. Aretha Franklin’s version of “I Say a Little Prayer” is still considered one of her classics.
Burt told me once he wished he’d written for Frank Sinatra, but apparently it wasn’t meant to be, During a stint in the early 1960s, when he was touring with the actress Marlene Dietrich, she told Sinatra he should record one of Burt’s songs but Ol’ Blue Eyes refused.
“You’re gonna be sorry,” Deitrich told him.
Years later, when Burt was famous, Sinatra called him out of the blue and said he wanted Burt to write a whole album for him, and Sinatra would record it. The only catch? They had to start the next day. Burt said he couldn’t, he was in the middle of the show “Promises, Promises.” A frustrated Sinatra, according to Burt, said, “Ah, forget it” and hung up.
So he didn’t work with everybody. Just pretty much everybody.
I remember visiting Burt once at a house he was renting in Del Mar, California. We sat on the beach as he watched his two young children play in the ocean. We ate lunch and talked about music and before I left, he asked me to write my phone number in his address book.
“Put it under the A’s,” he said, handing it over.
I squeezed it in between Herb Alpert and Charles Aznavour.
How’s that for a stable of friends?
Before I left that day, Burt handed me a CD of a yet-unreleased album he was doing with Elvis Costello. And as I put it in my bag, he quickly added, “The bass on Track 9 is still too high, so ignore that, and the drums on Track 11 are a little up, try and ignore that.”
Here was Burt Bacharach, the legend, still, like every musician I’ve ever known, tweaking the material even as he handed it over, trying to get it perfect.
I was speaking to a friend last week and said, “You know, I haven’t talked to Burt in a while. I’m going to call him.” And the next day, I read the headline, that Burt Bacharach had died of natural causes in his home in L.A. He was 94.

According to American Community Survey data from 2008-2012, there are significant income gaps between African Americans, Latina/o, and Whites. In a study that identified 376 metropolitan areas across the United States, Des Moines was ranked 20th in the income disparity between African American Families (avg. $29,929/year) and White families ($79,143). Put another way, African American families on average earn 62.2% less than White families. Additionally, Latina/o families in Des Moines ranked 84th in the same study and earned on average $39,635 or 49.9% less than White families.
Between 2010 and 2013, the percentage of Iowans that are unemployed increased in Iowa, specifically in central Iowa and Polk County.

The magic ingredient is the gelatin. Be sure to use the Great Lakes brand of gelatin as it’s made from clean, grass fed beef without pesticides, GMOs and antibiotics.Stay away from the grocery store versions of gelatin.
Gelatin, or collagen protein, is rich in the amino acids glycine and proline which help your body wherever you need collagen. It helps to improve skin, hair and nails, but also bones and even joints. Did you know your bones are made mostly of collagen?
The amino acids in the gelatin also have an anti-inflammatory effect…. one reason people feel joint relief. In fact, increasing collagen in your bones, skin, hair and nails takes awhile, so you’ll need to stick with a good gelatin regimen for 6 months or more to reap those benefits. The improvements in joint pain comes from the anti-inflammatory effect seen earlier.
Gelatin is easily absorbed and used by the body. In fact, it even helps in healing leaky gut and other digestive issues.
One more important aspect of gelatin is it’s stress relieving effect. The amino acid glycine acts a bit as a calming neurotransmitter, somewhat like GABA. What more could you ask for? Smooth, beautiful skin, thick hair, strong nails, great sleep, lower stress, no more digestive distress, and strong bones and joints!
To get the most benefit, take a TBSP of gelatin mixed in water, a shake, or other liquid a few times a day. Take before bed for better sleep.
In between, eat the Gummy Bears!
1c pure cranberry juice, no sugar added
1/4 c lime juice
1/4 c lemon juice (or more lime juice)
1/2 c water
6-8 packets NuStevia NoCarbs Blend
1/3 c Great Lakes Beef Powdered Gelatin (orange canister)
Silicon gelatin mold or glass baking dish
Place your mold on a tray/pan so it will be easy to transport to the fridge when ready. Clear out a space in the fridge.
Add juices and water to a saucepan and turn heat to low.
Stir in stevia. Taste juice mix to see if it’s as sweet as you’d like. Add more stevia if you’d like your gummies sweeter.
Slowly sprinkle gelatin into the juice mix, whisking with a fork or hand whisk the whole time. If you get lumps, just keep whisking until they dissolve.
If your saucepan doesn’t have a pour spout, it’s best to transfer the mixture to something that pours easily. I use a glass Pyrex 2c measuring cup.
Pour the mixture into the molds (or a glass dish), transfer to the fridge, and allow to cool for at least 2 hours. Once the gummies are solid, pop them out of the mold and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
You can find a variety of molds online or at craft or baking stores. For the most fun, choose a variety of shapes and sizes!

We're pretty confident and stand behind our coffee 100%. Which makes our return/exchange policy pretty simple. If you're not happy with your coffee let us know within seven days of receiving it and we'll either refund you or send you a bag of something else to try. No restocking fees. No return shipping charges. None of that...
Calioh Coffee was established in 2016. We were one of only a few specialty coffee roasters in Ventura County California at the time; and still are. We came into the coffee scene primarily because Matt, our founder, fell in love with specialty coffee. He quickly found that not many people knew about specialty coffee at the time. So he felt compelled to share specialty coffee with the community. Today, we're still on that same crusade. Currently, we're sharing specialty coffee with like minded cafe owners and restauranteurs through our end-to-end wholesale cofeee program. As well through our private label program where we help folks get our artisanal specialty coffee wrapped up in their fabulous packaging. Sometimes our wholesale and private label programs blend together for a perfect win-win partnership. Soon, we'll be opening our first cafe. Here, we'll be able to have a grander stage on which to share our love for coffee face to face.
Wholesale Coffee Roaster
We roast for cafes, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and business offices. We're what you might call a B2B coffee provider or coffee wholesaler. However, we offer all of our amazing coffees right here on our website for anyone to enjoy. Whether you're an established cafe looking to improve your coffee program or a new venture looking to start from scratch, Calioh Coffee can handle your needs! Click here to learn about how Calioh Coffee can provide value to your coffee program.
Private Label Coffee
Calioh Coffee is pioneering the way private label coffee partnerships are created. We are client focused and highly adept at packaging design. We'll work hard to bring your brand to life in the shortest time possible. And we'll simplify your sales process by fulfilling your sales through our distribution network. Click here to learn more.
Finally, better coffee...
We've been roasting coffee since 2016. In that time, we've learned a thing or two about roasting and blending coffees. Moreover, we've learned a lot about consumer preferences. That said, we have carefully crafted our blends and meticulously selected our single origin coffees based on those findings. We have a coffee that will suit most any palate; from the light and floral acidity found in our Glen Park blend, to the deep and bold chocolate and caramel notes found in our Shift Work blend. We have a coffee (probably) that's just right for you. We've done this so well that we've also won a few awards.
Calioh Coffee belongs to numerous professional trade organizations. These afffiliations allow us to learn emerging trends and pass critical information back to our partners.
We belong to the most respected association of coffee professionals worldwide. The SCA is built on foundations of openness, inclusivity, and the power of shared knowledge. They support activity to make specialty coffee a thriving, equitable, and sustainable activity for the entire value chain.
We belong to a specialty coffee community of other third wave coffee roasters dedicated to inspiring a diverse coffee roasting community through the development and promotion of the roasting profession.
1% for the Planet
At Calioh Coffee we care deeply for the planet. Moreover, we're very passionate about sustainable coffee production. In the past, we thought that organic certification was the best way for us to care for our planet while encouraging sustainable coffee production. However, after taking a deep dive into the subject, we decided to reinvest our organic certification fees and support 1% for the Planet instead. Watch this video to learn more about that decision process.

A Child's Library
Wellesley Books is happy to announce its inaugural A Child's Library: a subscription service for children ages 3-6! Each month, our children's book buyer Lauren will select one newly released picture book to be sent or picked-up from the store. The purpose of A Child's Library is to help foster a love for books within the child's home. It makes a great baby shower gift!
The March 2023 pick is Rainbow Shopping by Qing Zhuang.
ABOUT In Every Life
Sharing a delicious meal helps a child feel loved in this heartfelt tribute to Chinatown and spending days-off together.
On a rainy Saturday, a young girl feels as gray as a pigeon. Since moving from China to New York City, Mom, Dad, and Grandma have been very busy working. But a trip to Mom’s favorite Chinatown store to find the best produce, seafood, and spices for dinner just might turn the girl's day around.
Later on, Dad steams, boils, fries, and stir-fries all the ingredients while girl and Grandma taste-test. After cozy goodnights, a final dream spread shows the family walking hand-in-hand in rainbow colors--an affirmation of love and support even on rainy, gray days.
Inspired by Qing Zhuang’s experience as a first generation Chinese American, Rainbow Shopping explores a young child's feelings of loneliness and discovery with tenderness and humor. Qing uses watercolor, colored pencil, and crayon to beautifully recreate NYC's Chinatown neighborhood. Filled with warmth and details of city life, this story about a working-class family is one readers can return to again and again.

World Tribune – Joe Schaeffer –
“[L]et’s be honest, we live at a time when institutions as vital to human progress as the United Nations are under attack. The European Union is threatened. The G7 is being threatened. NATO is being threatened. The WTO is being threatened. I mean, what’s left? And not just these institutions, but what they stand for — an international order based on shared values and shared rules — an international order that is facing the greatest test in its 70-year history. Not just these institutions, but what they’ve achieved is at risk.”
These are unmistakably the words of a statist globalist dedicated to helping usher in a New World Order. Oh, and he just so happens to be the lead singer of perhaps the most popular band in the world over the last 40 years.
Bono, the Irish rocker who fronts U2, has made a name for himself over the past two decades for his non-stop blathering about sharing the wealth of the West with the rest of the world, even as he continues to amass a personal net worth currently estimated at over $700 million. His hypocrisy is infuriating, but it should not distract from the fact that this is a very influential man who is tied closely at the hip with two of the most destructive pro-globalization goliaths on the scene today, progressive billionaire George Soros and Microsoft money machine Bill Gates.
Bono’s ONE Foundation is the vehicle through which the singer pushes his internationalist agenda. Its very founding roots are intertwined with Soros and Gates. “ONE originated in conversations between Bill Gates and Bono in the early 2000s about the need to better inform Americans about extreme poverty around the world,” the Gates Foundation website says of one of its top grant recipients.
“Together with Melinda Gates, Bobby Shriver, George Soros, Ed Scott, Bob Geldof, and Jamie Drummond, they created an anti-poverty advocacy organization called DATA that focused on deploying celebrities and other influential individuals to urge world leaders to take action on specific development issues. Within a few years, DATA had joined with several other organizations to form ONE, with major backing from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”
At this very moment a Soros agent sits on ONE’s Board of Directors. “Morton H. Halperin is a Senior Advisor to the Open Society Institute and the Open Society Policy Center,” his ONE bio reads. Halperin’s resume gives testament to a life devoted to the service of progressive internationalist elites. “He was a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress from June 2003 to December 2009 and was a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations Council on Foreign Relations from January 2001 to June 2003 and from March 1996 to December 1998,” the bio states. “Dr. Halperin worked for many years for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).”
ONE’s leading lights avidly support Soros’s plans to destroy the West. ONE co-founder Jamie Drummond was shockingly blunt in 2018 in voicing his enthusiasm for the Third World invasion of Europe. “As Africa’s population doubles, a lot of them, whatever the circumstances, will be coming to Europe, as economic migrants or as refugees, they will be coming, many of them,” Drummond told the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade and Defence, Infowars reports. “And that is a good thing.

I went back and forth about sharing the pattern for this, and here’s why: When you’re nice enough to share a free pattern, you’d be surprised (I was!) at the e-mails/comments you get asking you to re-size it and/or angry e-mails about why you didn’t make multiple sizes to begin with. I know, the majority of you lovely blog readers are as shocked as I was. I’m a small, short, flat chested person, and I know that’s not the most common body type, so I wondered if I would get more of those than I do with kids clothes.
So here’s the deal – I am linking my size 32″ bust/ 36″ hips pattern for FREE. If your bust/hips are bigger, you’ll have to resize. I suggest adding to both the center front/back and side seams. Pattern drafting and digitizing takes a a long time, and since this is not a pattern I made for sale, just a tank I made for myself, this is the only size the pattern is in. Can we play nice with that in mind? Thanks.
OK, you’ll need the pattern for the front, which you can download HERE. This is a PDF file, you’ll print it across 3 pages of paper and then tape them together. When you print, set your printer to borderless, and don’t scale anything. If your printer won’t print borderless, set it to the smallest margins you can and print anyway without scaling – you should be able to connect pattern lines across the page breaks. Butt the edges of the pages together – don’t overlap – and tape. The pages line up landscaped, one on top of the other in a 3 page column.
A note about fabric – this will look best in a very lightweight and drapey fabric – cotton gauze, cotton lawn or voile, a very thin jersey, etc. The seersucker was almost too thick for it. If you use quilting weight, this will probably look like a square sack on you. Consider yourself warned 😉
You will also need 14 inches of elastic (not pictured below), and a 10″x17″ rectangle to use as your tank back pattern. Cut the tank back with one long edge on the fold of the fabric.

Where Can I Get an Open MRI Near Me
If you have been recommended to get an MRI scan, you may have concerns about the traditional closed MRI machines. These machines can be small and confined, causing discomfort and anxiety for some patients. However, there is an alternative – open MRI. An open MRI machine offers a more comfortable and relaxed experience, making it an ideal choice for those who may feel claustrophobic or uneasy in a traditional MRI machine. If you are wondering, “Where can I get an open MRI near me?” this article will provide you with some valuable information.
Open MRI machines are designed to offer a more spacious and less intimidating environment for patients. They have a larger opening, allowing patients to lie down without feeling confined. These machines are particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with claustrophobia or anxiety. Additionally, open MRI machines can accommodate patients of different sizes and shapes, making them suitable for almost everyone.
Now, let’s answer some common questions about open MRI machines:
1. How does an open MRI work?
An open MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the internal structures of your body. The machine captures these images from different angles, allowing your doctor to examine the affected area thoroughly.
2. Are open MRI scans as accurate as closed MRI scans?
Yes, open MRI scans are just as accurate as closed MRI scans. Both machines produce high-quality images that help doctors make accurate diagnoses.
3. Are open MRI scans safe?
Yes, open MRI scans are safe. They do not use any radiation, making them a safer alternative to other imaging techniques like CT scans.
4. How long does an open MRI scan take?
The duration of an open MRI scan varies depending on the part of the body being scanned. On average, an open MRI scan can take between 30 minutes to an hour.
5. Do I need a referral from my doctor to get an open MRI?
Yes, in most cases, you will need a referral from your doctor. They will determine whether an MRI scan is required and provide you with a referral to a suitable imaging center.
6. Will I feel claustrophobic in an open MRI machine?
Open MRI machines are designed to minimize feelings of claustrophobia. The larger opening and more open space help create a more comfortable and relaxed experience.
7. Can I bring someone with me during the scan?
In most cases, you can bring someone with you for emotional support during the scan. However, they may need to stay outside the scanning room as certain items, such as metallic objects, can interfere with the MRI machine.
8. Can children and individuals with mobility issues undergo open MRI scans?
Yes, open MRI machines are suitable for children and individuals with mobility issues. The larger opening and spacious design make it easier for them to lie down comfortably.
9. Are there any restrictions or preparations for an open MRI scan?
Your imaging center will provide you with specific instructions and guidelines. However, you may be required to remove metallic objects, such as jewelry or piercings, as they can interfere with the MRI machine.
10. Are open MRI scans covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover open MRI scans. However, it is recommended to check with your insurance provider beforehand to determine your coverage.
11. Can I request an open MRI if I don’t have claustrophobia?
Yes, you can request an open MRI even if you don’t have claustrophobia. It is ultimately your choice, and if you prefer a more spacious and comfortable experience, an open MRI is a viable option.
12. Where can I find an open MRI near me?
To find an open MRI near you, you can start by asking your doctor for recommendations. They may be able to refer you to a reputable imaging center that offers open MRI services. Additionally, you can conduct an online search using keywords like “open MRI near me” to find nearby options.
In conclusion, if you are seeking a more comfortable and less confining MRI experience, an open MRI may be the right choice for you. They offer a spacious and relaxed environment while providing accurate and detailed images for your doctor. By understanding the benefits and availability of open MRI machines, you can make an informed decision about where to get your MRI scan.


According to the “Side to Side” singer, she “loved and adored” the rapper even prior to their meeting. In her cover story with Cosmopolitan for their April 2017 issue, Grande admitted to swooning over her would-be boyfriend from afar.
“I met him when I was 19. We have loved and adored and respected each other since the beginning, since before we even met, just because we were fans of each other’s talent,” she said. “We weren’t ready at all, though, to be together. It’s just timing.”
The couple first met when they teamed up for their 2013 collaboration, “My Way.” After Grande broke things off with backup dancer Ricky Alvzrez last year, the two became romantically involved when they reconnected for their latest single, “My Favorite Part.”
Though Grande is happily dating Miller these days, she insisted she doesn’t need a man by her side to feel fulfilled.
“I’ve never looked at love as something that I need to complete me. I would like to be complete on my own first and fall in love with somebody who is also complete,” she shared. “You can still celebrate and be totally obsessed with each other, but I want to feel a hundred percent myself so that I can love that person better.”
The 23-year-old added that being true to herself is her top priority, saying, “A lot of times, women are labeled as a bitch or a diva for having a vision and being strong and using their voice, and it’s just not the case. You can be strong and be friendly. [We] don’t have to be just one thing.”
The feeling seems mutual for Miller, too. Last September, the 25-year-old confessed to falling “in love” with the songstress.
“Just because we are two people who are in love and have a great relationship doesn’t mean I am going to get weird about this incredible music we make,” he said in a radio interview. “That is a true thing in my life … She is amazing.”

There's no doubt about it — startups are expensive. If you're looking to validate a market, prove out a pricing model, or put together the right team, you'll need resources. Time and money are among the most important, and the more you have of one, the less you need of the other.
Businesses with small burn rates often don't require much funding to get started because they're cash efficient. However, those pursuing larger opportunities in a competitive space are fighting for every second on the clock.
If you're in need of funding, one option is to work with a venture capitalist. But, what is a venture capitalist? And is it the right funding option for you?
How Does Venture Capital Work?
Venture capital firms raise money from individual investors, known as limited partners. Firms then use those funds for typically-high interest investments in startups. The hope is that those companies go public or get acquired. If that happens, a company pays the firm back for its investment and accrued interest. Then, the limited partners get their money back — plus interest and minus the VC firm’s fee.
A venture capitalist (VC) is an investor that works with high growth potential startups. They can offer you access to resources and know-how to grow your business faster than you could on your own.
Venture capitalists invest outside equity from professionally managed pools of money. This isn't your uncle Bob writing your business a check for $10,000 — this is someone who invests in new startups every day.
The funds come from a group of limited partners (LPs) from whom the initial fund was raised. And the total amount raised by a fund often tells you what type of investment stages they're interested in.
However, a VC is more than a check — at least a good VC is. Venture capitalists are partners in your venture, and while they provide you with a check, the most value they can bring to the table comes from their direction and industry knowledge.
Venture capitalists work with a lot of businesses. They’re good at pattern matching, identifying issues other companies have faced, and recognizing when you're experiencing similar problems.
A venture capitalist often sees hundreds of businesses every year but only works closely with a handful of them.
This gives them experience in understanding founder dynamics, conflict management, scaling a team with various sales channels, and ultimately taking your business from point A to point B.
This is why companies that are looking to make as much progress as quickly as possible often need to take the venture capitalist route.
Venture Capital Firms
Depending on where your startup is based you may have different options available to you for connecting with venture capital funds. Here is a list of some of the top funds in the U.S. grouped by region:
Region: East Coast
Noteworthy investments: Lessonly and Workfront
Openview works with companies of all kinds to help with their expansion stage and go-to-market strategy. With over $5 billion under management, its portfolio includes more than 200 companies in technology and healthcare.

Bessemer works with early-stage companies in the consumer, healthcare, and enterprise industries. The firm helped one portfolio company bring in $25 million in a new pipeline and $5.9 million in closed-won deals after building out its BDR team.
3. Union Square Ventures
Region: East Coast
Noteworthy investments: Quizlet, Soundcloud, and Kickstarter
Union Square Ventures works with larger companies that have successfully established an engaged user-base. Since 2004, it has invested in over 100 companies across the world.
4. First Round Capital
Region: West Coast
Noteworthy investments: Beautiful AI, Birchbox, and Mint
First Round Capital is called First Round for a reason — it works with seed, pre-seed, friends and family, angel investments, or anything in between. It doesn’t have a specific industry or sector focus.
5. SaaStr Fund
Region: West Coast
Noteworthy investments: SalesLoft and TalkDesk
SaaStr Fund works with four to five up-and-coming companies per year, investing anywhere from $1 million to $5 million per deal. It only invests in companies that are a part of the SaaStr.com community.
Region: West Coast
Noteworthy investments: Airbnb and Dropbox

Region: West Coast
Noteworthy investments: Hubspot, Quora, and Zendesk

8. Hyde Park Ventures
Noteworthy investments: G2 Crowd and Shipbob
Hyde Park Ventures funds early-stage technology companies in the Midwest. The firm focuses on investing in technology companies with B2B SaaS and consumer marketplace business models.
9. Matchstick Ventures
Noteworthy investments: Inspectorio, Branch, and Upsie
Matchstick Ventures invests where innovative ideas, huge markets, and diverse founders strike. It makes a point of supporting businesses with tenacious founders, lots of potential, and underdog mentalities. The firm acts as a catalyst for the founders, partners, and startup communities it serves.
10. Foundry Group
Noteworthy investments: Techstars and Yesware
Foundry Group focuses on seed and Series A investments in technology companies throughout the US and Canada. The firm is comprised of thematic investors looking for new businesses that fit specific sectors, including sales productivity and seed acceleration.
Venture Capital Funding
A venture capital funding is a financing event where the lead investor is a venture fund. The lead investor sets the terms of the round with the company and acts as the primary negotiator. They set the valuation of the business before the infusion of capital. That's known as the pre-money valuation.
In a venture capital funding, the lead investor often contributes the most money for the funding round. They oversee the negotiations and formalities of the round, including determining board structure and employee option pool availability.
Having a venture fund lead your financing round dramatically increases the speed and likelihood of closing it.
How to Get Venture Capital
- Be prepared before you try to get money
- Have your pitch ready
- Keep track of your investor pipeline
- Pick the right amount to raise for your round
1. Be prepared before you try to get money.
Every company — even an early-stage one — has the ability to de-risk its business to some extent. For example, you could build a prototype of your software to show its feasibility and get feedback until you're ready for pre-sales of your product.
The point here is you should try to de-risk the business as much as possible. Validate that your technology works well and that your customers want it. Then, the investment starts to feel like more of an opportunity and less of a handout. Some ways to de-risk your business include:
- Early customer traction or pre-sales: making substantial sales before the initial product launch
- Product readiness: having your product closer to a beta or 1.0 launch than a prototype
- Operating history: demonstrating that you can capably your business for a period of time
- Team composure: having all the main functional areas covered in-house — on both the tech and business fronts
You can have the flashiest, most captivating pitch in the world, but most VCs won’t be interested if there aren’t hard results behind it.
Make sure the business and product ends of your company are sound before you pursue funding. If those aren’t in a good place when you walk into a VC firm, your pitch probably won’t survive its scrutiny.
2. Have your pitch ready.
The main material in most early-stage financing conversations is your investor deck. A good deck will communicate what you do in 30 seconds. It explains the problem clearly and shows your solution from a high level with a demo. Finally, it should dive into the traction, differentiation, and the market opportunity you're pursuing.
There are several ways to present this information for maximum effect. For more information on how to put together your early stage investor deck take a look at these templates from HubSpot.
Remember, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries may be the first communication you have with investors, but your pitch is the real first impression you make. And if you don’t do well, you may not get another one.
Even though some VCs are inclined to make riskier investments, securing funding from them is still a matter of trust. VCs want to believe in your vision, practicality, and work ethic before they invest. You want them to know you can deliver results.
With VCs, you’re not pitching a concept — you’re pitching a product, a company, and yourself.
Anyone can have a great idea; very few can actually make something of one. You need definitive proof that you’re one of the latter. Very few VCs will be willing to invest in your imagination alone.
If you come in and confidently demonstrate that your business is well-structured, well-run, with a lot of heart and tremendous upside, you’re putting yourself in the best position to get funded.
Nailing your investor deck and pitch itself is a big part of how you get there.
3. Keep track of your investor pipeline
This step is often overlooked. An investor pipeline is typically a spreadsheet or CRM pipeline that lays out who you'd like to talk to, why you'd like to talk with them, and key details behind their fund like how much they’ve raised or their average check size.
You'll want to do your homework here to only include funds that invest in companies like yours at this particular stage. Meeting with investors who only do consumer investments when you're B2B or who only do B round deals when you're raising a seed just won't cut it.
This is worth staying on top of. With venture capital, it’s important to understand where you want to go and who’s the most likely to get you there. A big part of wooing VCs is staying level headed and decisive. Actively maintaining your investor pipeline can be crucial to keeping yourself on track.
4. Pick the right amount to raise for your round.
What goes into deciding on a number? If that number is the amount of money you're looking to raise, the answer is an awful lot.
Your fundraising number says a lot about how long you think you have until you run out of cash, when you'll need to fundraise again, and how far along you are in your funding journey.
Seed stage companies that set out to raise $1.5 million or more generally wind up hitting that number less than seed-stage companies who set out to raise only $750,000.
It's important to have a sound understanding of your business' needs and preferred trajectory in order to identify the figure that is going to get you where you want to go.
Angel Investor vs. Venture Capitalist
Angel investors are individuals that invest in startups. Unlike venture capitalists — who deploy funds on behalf of their limited partners — angel investors put up their own money. They play a large role in the early-stage financing process. Many are actually successful entrepreneurs and supporters of the startup ecosystem.
The benefit of working with an angel investor, if they're relevant to your market and product, is that they can provide relevant advice and make solid connections with other investors. Every startup community has some sort of angel investor presence.
When working with angels, ask them about other companies they've invested in. You should always know if an angel investor’s strengths line up with your needs. For instance, an angel might be great at investing in sales productivity software but hasn’t had as much luck with gig work applications.
You can also backchannel with other founders and startup community members to get a better understanding of specific angels.
When you have these kinds of conversations, be sure to talk to a diverse array of founders who took angel investments. This could mean reaching out to some founders whose businesses made it and others who saw less success.
This might give you a feel for which angels will be the most supportive if times get tough.
Angels also often don’t have minimum investment requirements. But that doesn’t mean you have to do the same. Raising $500,000 off of $10,000 checks will waste time and energy your business is going to desperately need early on.
Setting minimums on your financing round shows both VCs and angel investors that you value your time and take yourself seriously.
If you're looking to go far and move fast, then venture capital might be the route for you. If you have a big market opportunity, a good team, a stellar product, and the willingness to put in the work, you’re in a good position to land an investment from a VC.
With new ventures, everyone starts at zero. Success is just a matter of how quickly you level up.

GRANDER TOURER CONTINENTAL GT
Bentley’s latest 6-litre W12 Continental GT coddles and travels even better than its predecessor.
IIN 2003, Bentley rolled out the first-generation Continental GT, under the stewardship of VW-Audi rather than RollsRoyce. This was the first Bentley made that had nothing to do with the old partnership with Rolls-Royce. Instead, the 2003 Bentley Continental GT was created from the platform of the Volkswagen Phaeton. Bentley made huge improvements to create the Continental range of cars, which include the Continental GT Convertible and Continental Flying Spur.
The second-generation Continental GT, introduced in 2011, was a heavily revised edition of the first-generation Continental GT. The changes were so subtle that it was not easy to discern new from old at a glance.
However, in 2018, after soldiering on with the old platform for some 14 years, Bentley ditched it for one shared with Porsche – to be precise, the Panamera platform which carries the internal codename MSB.
The Continental GT is the premier luxury coupe that has ruled that niche, with some 70,000 examples sold during that period. There are very few grand tourer coupes that seat four in comfort, have a 12-cylinder engine and offer supercarrivalling performance capabilities. That formula has not changed for the 2018 Continental GT. It may share a platform with Porsche, but today’s platform-sharing is very sophisticated and can create completely unique models.
It is clear that the Bentley stylists have endeavoured to create a noticeably different Continental GT, yet maintain a strong familial resemblance.
It appears more svelte, mainly because it is 44mm longer and 10mm wider, although the height is almost identical.
The redesign actually pushes the front axle 135mm further forward, such that the front overhang is reduced significantly, giving the car the appearance of a longer nose and rearward cab. That forward extension of the front axle is more than the 105mm increase in the car’s wheelbase.
The styling changes are most evident at the front and the rear. Large chrome-mesh apertures dominate the fascia, finishing almost flush with the outer surface instead of being smaller and recessed like on the old GT. The LED headlamps are also flush with the surface, but they have a unique cut-crystal appearance due to the reflector on the inside.
The block-like tail-lamps have been replaced by a pair of ovoid lamps that help reduce the bulk and give the coupe a completely new look from the back.
From the side, it is recognisably similar to the previous Conti GT, as the signature lines are all there, albeit a bit more sharply
delineated thanks to the special super-forming process of the aluminium body panels. Overall, the newcomer seems a bit more curvaceous than before. Even bigger changes await on the inside. The new wraparound design replaces the old biwing design and really makes the cabin feel modern.
Traditional materials have been used all round, with the exception of a Cotes de Geneve-inspired aluminium panel that covers the centre console around the gearlever. Otherwise, there are the usual wood veneers (over 10 square metres in total) and leather upholsteries in abundance. Modernity comes in the form of a three-sided rotating panel at the centre of the dashboard.
Said panel has an up-to- the-minute 12.3-inch LCD touchscreen information display on one face, and a set of classic analogue gauges to display ambient temperature, compass direction and a stopwatch on another face. A matching wood panel is the third face that rotates into place as the car is shut down.
The leather on some surfaces displays a “diamond in diamond” quilting technique, with a single diamond embroidery requiring 712 stitches. It looks immaculate in the new cabin.
Of course, personal customising is a possibility, with an almost infinite number of combinations of leather hues, veneers and stitching to create a one-of-a-kind Bentley.
If the standard 650-watt 10-speaker audio system does not meet your expectations,
THE STYLISTS HAVE CREATED A NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT CONTINENTAL GT, YET MAINTAINED A STRONG FAMILIAL RESEMBLANCE.

A traditional Easter bake and perfect for your centrepiece, a Simnel Cake is a rich, superbly moist fruit cake, topped with a layer of marzipan and eleven grilled marzipan balls for an absolutely delicious caramelised flavour. Our Simnel Cake recipe has plenty of fruit for a wonderfully rich and indulgent flavour but also has a delicious layer of marzipan in the middle of the cake to make it extra special. As this is a fruit cake, it lasts much longer than sponge cake, so you can make the cake in advance and keep it in an airtight container for up to a month before decorating. It can also be made to be dairy-free if you need.
This recipe uses Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil which is low in saturated fat and high in Omega 3, making this recipe ideal for a healthy and balanced diet. Simply click here to find your nearest stockist.
250g self-raising flour
250g golden caster sugar
50g ground almonds
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 ½ tsp mixed spice
5 medium eggs
45ml milk (for dairy free use any soya, almond, rice milk etc.)
180ml Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil
1kg mixed fruit (containing sultanas, currants, raisins, mixed peel)
50g apricot jam
Preheat the oven to 140°C. Grease and line a 20cm round tin.
In a large mixing bowl, add your flour, sugar, ground almonds, cinnamon, mixed spice, eggs, milk and Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil. Mix together until completely combined. Add your mixed fruit and stir in well.
Pour half the mixture into the tin. Then, roll out 300g of the marzipan to fit the tin (approx. 19cm diameter). Place this on top of the cake mixture. Pour the remaining mixture into the tin on top of the marzipan and spread out evenly. Leave it to rest for 10 minutes and then cover with greaseproof paper.
Bake for between 2 hours 45 minutes and 3 hours 15 minutes in the pre-heated oven, or until cooked through (it will be firm to the touch and a skewer will come out clean).
Cool completely in the tin on a wire rack and tip out when cooled. Gently heat the jam and brush over the top of the cake. Take approx. 250g of the marzipan and roll out into a circle to fit the top of the cake. With the remaining marzipan, create 11 balls and place around the top.
Finally, place under a grill until the marzipan is just browning or, for best results, carefully use a blowtorch to brown the desired areas.

Communities living next to the wildlife conservancies in Garissa County have been asked to support the protection of the local reticulated Somali giraffes.
Speaking in Bura East conservancy of Fafi Sub-County during the World Giraffe Day, Garissa CEC for Environment Habon Aden said the local reticulated giraffes were among the rare endangered species and thus called for concerted effort towards their protection from poachers.
Habon noted that poaching remained a major threat in Boulargi, Fafi Conservancy and continued to claim the lives of rare Somali giraffes thereby attracting the world’s attention.
The CEC thanked the local community for their peaceful co-existence with the giraffes and urged them to be vigilant and report cases of poaching to mandated authorities.
“We want you to be vigilant and report any poachers you come across. Let us also learn to co-exist with wildlife and let them access water from the river Tana,” Habon said
“I am pleased by the team that came up with this initiative to establish a conservancy for the giraffe and other wildlife in Bura East. The county government will give you all the support you need to ensure that giraffes enjoy full protection,” she added
The Chief Officer for Natural Resources and Wildlife Ahmed Shidiye urged all stakeholders to join hands towards the protection of the endangered species. This is in line with this year’s theme “conserving the Somali giraffe.”

If you run a business or work for yourself, getting a mortgage can be tricky. Here’s how to secure a mortgage when you’re self-employed in Ireland.
Be prepared to provide more information about your income, trading accounts and business performance.
Issues tend to arise around:
While this can make it harder to get the mortgage you want when you’re self employed, it’s still possible.
Being classed as self employed for lending purposes usually includes being:
These are all roles where your income is more directly related to the performance of your business, unlike employees who have a contract that states an income.
The information you’ll need to supply varies depending on the mortgage lender you choose, but it usually includes:
You’ll also need to supply the usual identification documents to prove your identity during your application.
|Lender||Business accounts||Bank statements||Revenue forms|
|AIB||3 years, audited by accountant||6 months||3 years|
|Bank of Ireland||2 years, certified by accountant||Not stated||Not stated|
|EBS||3 years, certified by accountant||6 months||3 years|
|Finance Ireland||2 years, certified by accountant||3 months||2 years|
|Haven||3 years, certified by accountant||6 months||3 years|
|ICS Mortgages||2 years, certified by accountant||6 months||2 years|
|KBC||2 years, certified by accountant||6 months & 2 months credit cards||2 years|
|Permanent TSB||2 years, certified by accountant||6 months||Not stated|
It only takes a few minutes to find a cheaper deal and start saving
Most lenders will also ask for confirmation of your tax position from your accountant.
The best way to increase your chances of being approved for a mortgage is to be prepared, especially if you’re self employed.
Some of the steps you should take include:
For more tips, read our guide: How to prepare for a mortgage application.
Once you’ve done these steps you could then apply for a mortgage approval in principle.
This shows you’ve passed lenders initial checks and gives you a better idea of how much you can borrow when looking for a property.

Yes, the same rules apply if you are borrowing with another person. Whoever is self employed will still need to be able to provide the documents the lender requests to prove their income.
The income of the person who is employed will be included in the affordability calculations as normal.
It’s likely to be difficult because most lenders ask for a minimum of 2 years of accounts.
This depends on the lender. Most require a qualified accountant to certify your audited accounts.
Some lenders may allow you to self certify your accounts, if you can supply a revenue balancing statement. If that’s the case, it’s best to check what else they need to support your application before you apply.
You’ll need to be able to show a consistent income to any potential mortgage lender. Exactly how long you’ll need to have been self employed will vary, but the absolute minimum is usually one year. Many lenders ask for at least three years of audited accounts.
You can find out more about how much you could borrow by reading our guide: How much can I borrow?
Most of the mortgage lenders in Ireland will offer mortgages to self employed borrowers, however their lending requirements will vary so always carefully check before you proceed.

Nothing can be harder than getting toddlers to eat their fruits and vegetables. Luckily, new research says it doesn't matter anyway.
Forcing kids to eat foods they don't like has no benefit, according to a recent study published in the journal Appetite.
Researchers at the University of Michigan found that making kids eat certain foods they don't like had no affect on a child's weight. It also had no impact on whether a child developed picky eating habits later in life.

Black Architecture (ed. Sibylle Kramer; Braun Publishing, 2016) is an impressive book about black buildings and their experiential characteristics.
The laws of physics define black as the (almost) complete absorption of all frequencies of light. This impression of color in the absence of visual stimuli holds a special place in many cultures, both past and present. All around the world, the unique color code #000000 is met with great respect.
Countless contemporary architects and designers have earned equal respect through their intense engagement with the color black. Accompanied by essays, the projects presented in this volume showcase the huge variety of approaches by the contemporary building culture to this fascinating physical and cultural phenomenon.

Deerfield, IL –Trinity Evangelical Divinity School’s Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding has been awarded a grant of $3.4 million from the Templeton Religion Trust for a multi-year study project that will examine and develop the Christian doctrine of creation within evangelical theology.
The initiative, titled “Evangelical Theology and the Doctrine of Creation,” will unfold over the course of three academic years, each covering a distinct theme and set of issues—including the interpretation of Genesis in light of modern science and especially the thorny issues surrounding theological anthropology—and develop across six distinct programs and initiatives and multiple levels of audience engagement.
“This generous grant,” said Henry Center Director Thomas H. McCall, “makes it possible for evangelical theological scholarship to explore crucial hermeneutical, exegetical, historical, “We proceed with deep confidence in the complete truthfulness of divine revelation as well as an unswerving commitment to the importance of intellectual humility in dialogue with other disciplines.”systematic, and pastoral elements of the doctrine of creation, especially as these relate to important developments in scientific inquiry.”
President David S. Dockery expressed his appreciation for the confidence of the Templeton Religion Trust. “The opportunity to explore these important issues is incredibly exciting to consider,” he said. TEDS Dean Graham A. Cole added that he is “excited and enthusiastic about the project, and what it may mean for Trinity and the wider evangelical community.” Dockery noted that this project will proceed “in a way that is faithful to Trinity’s identity and mission and in concert with outstanding scholars from around the globe.”
The grant will be administered by the project leaders (Henry Center Director and Professor of Systematic Theology Thomas H. McCall, Henry Center Assistant Director Geoffrey Fulkerson, and Professor of Old Testament Richard Averbeck) with assistance from Dockery, Cole, D.A. Carson, and other faculty members and administration. It will fund six initiatives, some academic, others pastoral. Through an annual resident scholarship program and summer conference, the project hopes to stimulate evangelical thought leadership in the doctrine of creation. Through public lectures, online presence, and a congregational partnership program, the project is also intended to advance this doctrine at a broader church level.
McCall hopes that the grant will “proceed with deep confidence in the complete truthfulness of divine revelation as well as an unswerving commitment to the importance of intellectual humility in dialogue with other disciplines.” He added, “We are hopeful that this project will bear much fruit.”
More details about the various projects will be available in coming months.

Tech firms accused of using Ireland as tax haven
THE Government was on alert last night after US lawmakers described the country as a "tax haven" and accused American technology companies operating here of using Ireland to avoid paying corporation tax at home.
The US Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has begun a probe into how American companies funnel international profits through countries such as Ireland with lower corporation tax rates than the US.
Using Microsoft and Hewlett Packard as case studies, the committee chairman Carl Levin said "the tax practices and gimmicks range from egregious to dubious validity".
If the US does prevent companies from using Ireland for tax purposes it could have a dire effect on the economy. Numerous companies, including Google, Facebook and Microsoft, who between them employ more than 4,000 people here, are believed to use Ireland for its tax efficiencies.
A government spokesman declined to comment, while a spokesman for the IDA, which has attracted most of the firms here, said the agency was studying the report but declined to comment further.
The committee accuses Microsoft of using its Irish firm Microsoft Ireland and other subsidiaries in Puerto Rico and Singapore to avoid paying tax at home.
"Microsoft Corporation has used aggressive transfer pricing transactions to shift its intellectual property, a mobile asset, to subsidiaries in Puerto Rico, Ireland, and Singapore, which are low or no tax jurisdictions, in part to avoid or reduce its US taxes on the profits generated by assets sold by its offshore entities," the committee report states.
"Microsoft also utilises entities in Ireland, Bermuda, and Singapore in its efforts to shift profits out of the United States and avoid US and international taxes.
"While over 85pc of Microsoft's research and development takes place in the United States, the profits from that intellectual effort are transferred out of the United States and shifted into tax havens," the report adds.
The hearings are investigating how many US companies are "in some cases de facto expatriating the untapped profits back to the US, contrary to US tax policy".
While the investigation is looking at the entire technology sector, the committee have prepared reports on Microsoft and Hewlett Packard as case studies. Both companies deny any wrongdoing.
Microsoft and numerous other American technology firms who have international headquarters here are believed to use an accounting technique known as the "Double Irish", a tax efficiency that allows profits from a multinational to be routed through Ireland to a tax haven without being liable for corporation tax in Ireland or the US.
The scheme is completely legal and there is no suggestion whatsoever of impropriety in the scheme's use.
