But, while a giggling May seemed to see the funny side of the situation, the constituent did not.
When the politician asked if she could run the resident through some of her policies, the unnamed man said: 'No you can't! You've called at a bad time!'.
Determined Mrs May did not let a little embarrassment stand in the way of the job, though.

HRW: Turkey killing Syrians on border
Aleppo under fire. Renewed hostilities in the northern city are expected to send more civilians fleeing for the Turkish border. Source: YouTube
Human Rights Watch says Turkish border guards continue to shoot and beat Syrian refugees trying to cross into Turkey from the war-torn country.
Border guards in March and April used excessive force against Syrians and a smuggler trying to reach Turkey, killing five, including a child and injuring 14 others, HRW said. The NGO called on Ankara to reopen its Syrian border to refugees.
Turkey, which has 2.7 million Syrian refugees, has rejected allegations of shooting at Syrian migrants, claiming that it has an open-door policy toward refugees. HRW researcher Gerry Simpson said: “Firing at traumatised men, women and children fleeing fighting and indiscriminate warfare is truly appalling.” The NGO claimed that border guards blocked thousands of migrants after artillery fire had hit their camps near the border on April 13 and 15.
The hostilities continue to threaten Syrians blocked from reaching Turkish territory, the NGO said, with witnesses saying on May 5 that three airstrikes hit the Kamuna camp sheltering 4,500 Syrian refugees near Sarmada in northern Idlib province, five kilometres south of the border. An independent humanitarian source said medics recovered 20 bodies, including two children, and that at least 37 people were injured, including 10 who lost limbs.
By April, Turkey said it had completed a third of its 911km rocket-resistant concrete border wall and was fortifying the rest of the demarcation.
“The EU shouldn’t just stand by and watch as Turkey uses live ammunition and rifle butts to stem the refugee flow,” opined Simpson. “EU officials should recognise that their red light for refugees to enter the EU gives Turkey a green light to close its border, exacting a heavy price on war-ravaged asylum seekers with nowhere else to go.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned Europe for closing its borders to Syrians fleeing war; days after the resignation of his prime minister threw the refugee deal with the EU into doubt. Erdogan accused the EU of “cruelty”, saying the continent had shown “no mercy and no justice” to those fleeing Syria.
The United Nations warned this month that renewed fighting around Aleppo in northern Syria could force as many as 400,000 refugees to the Turkish frontier. Ankara announced this week that 386 people had been readmitted from Europe under the refugee deal. But the departure of its designer Ahmet Davutoglu at the end of the month has put the arrangement in jeopardy.

Artimisinin: a treatment for Malaria moral/ethical issues. Citations Glossary History of Synthetic Biology A disease caused by parasites infecting the human bloodstream. It is most often passed by infected mosquitoes biting humans. Malaria can also be transmitted from mother to her unborn child or through a blood transfusion. There are about 300-500 cases each year and about 1 million deaths. MALARIA We don’t yet have the capabilities to produce many new organisms, as many people believe. We are still not quite sure of how it works. A measurement to find the age of something. A formula for finding a close measurement of BP is to subtract the current date from 1950. A gene that is at 1000 BP has been in existence since year 950 AD.

Building progressively in Kenya and Uganda
In sub-Saharan Africa, about 95 percent of people do not have access to the formal financing that would allow them to start building or improving a home. Because of this, most people build progressively, starting with a makeshift shelter and then gradually replacing it with more permanent materials. In partnership with The MasterCard Foundation and six local financial institutions, the Building Assets, Unlocking Access project supports these families in accessing small, short-term loans with affordable payments that can fund their incremental building process. By working with local financial service providers already serving the low-income population, this housing microfinance project allows us to extend our reach and start making a greater impact on families in need of a decent place to live.

ADHD Coaching: The Wheel Of Balance
Appearances are often deceiving.
Schools need specific structures to manage executive function challenges.
– Keith Kosierowski
Fresh ADHD Coaching Perspectives
ADHD Coaching today evolves to include biological reality. First remember that with ADHD issues, Reality matters far more than dreams. Next recall that Executive Function Challenges are the mother, the origin of ADHD symptoms. Coaching works for the complexity of Reality-Self-Management for any Executive Function challenge. The way Executive Coaching for ADHD works is simple: Coaching addresses personal Reality, and, as Keith also points out, biological, biomedical brain and body reality.
If those who suffer with Executive Function Challenges intend to address reality, it’s important to address every aspect of a person’s life – from nutrition, to exercise, to sleep, to organizational skills, to planning and relationship management.
In this interview Kosierowski discusses his work with a variety of clients and audiences based upon his ADHD Wheel of Balance. Using his balance wheel he addresses the real complexity of each person’s life in efforts to grow and move forward.
His Message In Two Sentences:
Concerned parents must always include specific biomedical strategies for the most effective, most predictable outcomes over time. Exercise, breakfast, conflict resolution and negotiation strategies can then help resolve recovery challenges.

Bleeding Gums Treatment
Gum disease is known as periodontal disease. it is a chronic bacterial infection around the tooth that affects the gums and bone. Bleeding gums; a symptom of gum disease.
Are you experiencing bleeding gums?
Gum bleeding is usually the first sign of gum diseases. You may find your gums bleeding during brushing, flossing or even eating hard food. Other clinical signs/symptoms of gum disease include:
- Red and swollen gums
- Bleeding during brushing, flossing and eating hard food
- Shaky teeth
- Persistent bad breath
It can occur on one particular tooth or many teeth. If left untreated, this can result in bleeding gums, bad breath, shaky teeth, and eventual tooth loss. There have been studies that link gum disease to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. Pregnant women with gum disease have a higher risk of miscarriage and premature birth. If you experience any of these symptoms visit your dentist.
Gingivitis – Inflammation of the Gums
Plaque causes the gums to become red, swollen and bleed easily. There is usually no pain at this stage. It is caused by inadequate oral hygiene, and is reversible with professional treatment and following good oral hygiene practices at home. When gingivitis is left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis. Toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque irritate the gums. The toxins cause a chronic inflammatory response in which the body turns on itself, thus, destroying the tissues and bones that support the teeth.
Gums separate from the teeth, forming pockets (spaces between the teeth and gums). As the disease progresses, the pockets deepen, and more gum tissue and bone are destroyed. Eventually, teeth become shaky and have to be removed. Learn more about gingivitis here.
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bones around the teeth. It can affect one tooth or many teeth. It begins when the bacteria in plaque (sticky substance that constantly forms on your teeth) causes your gums to be inflamed.
Who is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist who specialises in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. They receive extensive education and training in these areas and are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating gum disease. Periodontists often treat more problematic cases, such as those with severe gum disease or complex medical history. They offer a wide range of treatments, such as scaling, root planing and root surface debridement. Root planing is when the infected surface of the root is cleaned. On the other hand, root surface debridement refers to when damaged tissue is removed. The periodontist may also provide a range of surgical procedures which may be necessary for patients with severe gum problems.
Who Should See a Periodontist?
For some, a visit to a general dentist will suffice. However, as more and more patients are exhibiting signs of periodontal disease, coupled with research that suggests a relationship between periodontal disease and other chronic diseases of ageing, periodontal treatment may necessitate a greater understanding and increased level of expertise by a trained specialist. It is best for patients with more severe levels of periodontal disease or with more complex cases to be managed by a partnership between the dentist and periodontist.
Non-surgical Treatments for Gum Disease
Professional Dental Cleaning
During a regular dental check-up, your dentist removes plaque and tartar that build up and harden on the tooth surface. The process of professional dental cleaning helps to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line of all your teeth.
Scaling and Root Planing
Done under a local anaesthetic, this non-surgical deep-cleaning procedure scraps away plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. In order to help remove bacteria, rough spots on the tooth root are also smoothed. This provides a clean surface for the gums to reattach to the teeth.
Antibiotics may be prescribed either in combination with surgery and other therapies or alone. Antibiotics help in reducing or temporarily killing the bacteria that cause gum infections. They also prevent the destruction of the tooth’s attachment to the bone.
Benefits and Consequences
Periodontal therapy advantages
What are the consequences of gum disease?
Untreated gum diseases lead to tooth loss and halitosis (bad breath). It can also increase your risks for heart disease, blood clot, stroke, and osteoporosis. Bleeding gums can affect your immune system. Pregnant women with gum disease have a higher risk of miscarriage and premature birth.
How to take care of your gums after treatment
How can we prevent gum disease?
Proper daily toothbrushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day is important to prevent gum diseases.
Regular dental visits for professional cleaning once every 6 months is also necessary to remove tartar and to better clean those areas that you may have missed. This regular visit can help prevent gum & oral disease.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will hold a briefing today to discuss the administration’s latest plans and administrative agenda. The briefing is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. EST.
There’s a good chance that today’s briefing will involve a new round of questions about Stormy Daniels‘ lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his lawyer, Michael Cohen. Deputy press secretary Raj Shah deflected a lot of questions on thew subject yesterday, though Daniels’ allegations are still making waves in political media circles — especially since the porn star is suing Cohen for defamation.
Another potential topic? The New York Times report that Trump wants Rob Porter to come back to the White House. The Times report stated that Trump continues to seek advice from the former White House aide, and hopes he makes a return in the future. Porter left the West Wing last month in light of the news that his two ex-wives and another women accused him of physical and emotional abuse.
Other subjects that reporters might ask about today include; the ongoing gun control debate, Trump’s expulsion of Russian diplomats from the U.S., and the president’s conversations with the leaders of France and Germany.

It’s a sad day for fashionistas on a budget. And not so great either for regular Uniqlo shoppers developing a taste for something beyond the Japanese casual fashion chain’s mainstay basics.
Jil Sander, the celebrated minimalist German designer, and Fast Retailing Co., the powerhouse of retail here with a grand plan for global growth, Thursday parted ways. Discontinuing an accord struck in 2009, the break-up, amicable or otherwise, means the upcoming fall-winter collection of Uniqlo’s ‘+J’ line, designed by Ms. Sander, will be the last of a partnership that’s won plaudits in fashion circles for smart tailoring with best use of raw materials, even if it may not have moved the dial in terms of revenue.
As Japan recovers gingerly from what Prime Minister Naoto Kan called its “worst crisis since World War II”, there’s a question that won’t go away for trend watchers and businesses alike: exactly how will a nation famous for a conspicuous consumption habit adjust to longer-term life after March 11? What can you sell the Japanese, and how?
In the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, consumers here felt voluntarily abstaining from consumption was the right thing to do. Unsurprisingly, consumer spending slid in March from the same month a year earlier: according to cabinet office statistics, household spending in March fell by 8.5% compared to last year.
But consumer watchers expect the “freezing” of consumption to be temporary, and when consumers return to the market, they will come equipped with different demands and attitudes than before the quake. Marketers believe honing in on these new demands will be crucial to not only recovering from the disaster, but also rebuilding Japan’s presence in the global economy.
What are these new consumer demands?
A prized Japanese watermelon fetched nearly $4,000 on Monday at an auction in Sapporo. Yes, $4,000.
But before you choke on your own slice of citrullus, that four-figure price tag is actually a steep fall from the fruit’s peak season several years ago, in what may be a sign that the country’s highly regarded luxury fruit market is the latest victim of tightening consumer purse strings.
The rare Densuke watermelon, a solidly black, smooth-as-a-bowling-ball gourd, sold on the first day of seasonal bidding for 300,000 yen, which translates into about $3,740, according to the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market. While the seeds aren’t gold, the fruit is lauded for its crispy texture and extra sweet juice. And grown exclusively in Hokkaido, there are only about 100 of the stripeless watermelons available on the first day it goes on sale each year.
After the March 11 disasters, Japan’s consumers went from glum to despondent, before beginning to gather spirits again. While pleas from lawmakers and business owners imploring the country to shake off the self-restraint mentality that curbed spending may now be having some effect, damage has already been done: 66 businesses went bankrupt in Japan as of the end of April due to blowback stemming from the earthquake and tsunami, according to a new report (in Japanese).
Already facing a grim economy, more than 90% of the bankruptcies were the result of indirect economic implications of the disaster, according to a report released Friday by Teikoku Databank, a Tokyo-based corporate research firm. Teikoku attributed the fate of about 30% of the companies in part to consumer self-restraint. Hotels, travel companies, event-planners and other recreation-related businesses most vulnerable to consumer whims took the biggest hit. Other factors cited included tumbling sales and the difficulty in obtaining parts, said Teikoku following interviews with each company.
In Japan, consumers have been scaling back their purchases of big-ticket luxury brand items and searching for bargains, due to the country’s continued economic malaise and deflationary pressures. Meanwhile, e-commerce sales have been gaining traction, making it a good time for Gilt Groupe – an online retailer selling brand items at discounted prices – to launch in the country. The site marries Japan’s weakness for high-end items with the new reality of modest spending.
The chairman of Gilt Groupe - which entered the Japanese market in March 2009 – said she expects the number of registered users in Japan to increase several-fold in the next couple of years as it bolsters operations in Tokyo. But much of the growth will come from greater social media outreach, starting with the Japanese version of Gilt’s apps for the iPad and iPhone that were launched earlier this week.
“Honestly we were late to that party,” said Gilt Group Chairman Susan Lyne during an interview with Japan Real Time on Tuesday in Tokyo, about harnessing the power of Japan’s social media environment.
After every Japanese and their mother rushed to electronics stores to buy new television sets, it turns out that 2010 really was a record breaking year for TV demand in the country.
Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industry Association, or Jeita, said this week that domestic flat-panel TV shipments surged 85% to 25.19 million units in 2010. The previous record was the 2009 shipments of 13.63 million.
It’s by far the largest number since the industry association started tracking colored TV shipments in 1966.

If the prices of premium tuna for sushi and sashimi are an indication of consumer behavior, Japan’s economy seems to be doing quite well.
Tokyo’s Tsukiji central fish market rang in the new year with a happy new record: a bluefin tuna fetching a highest-ever price at the year’s first auction Wednesday.
In food manufacturers’ ceaseless attempts to please the fickle and adventurous Japanese palette, Japan Frito-Lay Ltd. is trying out a flavor that is distinctly American: steak-flavored Doritos, replete with a homey woman named Jane and her homemade salt mix.
Even lavish buys can be purse-pinching steals. That is the motto being pushed by Japan’s department stores as they roll out previews of luxurious New Year buys, known as “fukubukuro,” enticing customers with discounted sports cars, jewels, weddings and getaway trips.
Eager shoppers line up outside their favorite stores in the wee hours at the start of every year to buy a choice “fukubukuro,” a goodie bag filled with a hodgepodge of heavily discounted items for a set price. Depending on which store you choose to place your “fukubukuro” bets, contents can range from a German ham to sports memorabilia and designer clothes. The excitement in the tradition used to lie in the mysterious nature of the contents, a lottery of items unknown until after you purchase the bag. But stores are increasingly luring customers with curtain raisers, revealing splashy packages that could make a grown man fighting a midlife crisis weep.
So what are the most expensive “fukubukuro” steals?
Economists have long predicted Japan will be dethroned as the world’s second-biggest economy this year by rising industrial powerhouse China. But with a mere three months remaining to measure economic growth in 2010, the Japanese government said Thursday the country is still running second to the U.S. – if only thanks to a sweltering summer, a few shipments of eco-friendly TVs and a warehouse of fuel-efficient cars.
That’s because Japan just revised its third-quarter gross domestic product to 4.5% on an annualized basis, up from the initial 3.9% estimate a month earlier, easily beating economists’ expectations of a revision to 4.1%. What’s more, the Cabinet Office said Japan’s GDP stood at $3.959 trillion in the nine-month period through September, topping China’s GDP by a – comparatively slender — $12.6 billion.

Residents on a new Fleetwood housing estate looked on in astonishment as a huge inferno raged close to their homes.
More than 50 firefighters from Fleetwood, Blackpool, Bispham, Wesham, St Annes and South Shore were needed to battle the blaze, which broke out at warehouse on Jameson Road at around 6.40pm on Saturday.
After firefighters tackled the blaze, thick clouds of black smoke that could be seen up to 30 miles away filled the air and residents at a nearby caravan park were advised to stay indoors.
One 51 year old resident at another group of nearby homes, on the Harbour Village estate, said some of the smoke got into her home despite windows being closed.
The woman, who did not wish to be named said: “I didn’t realise what was happening until my daughter came home on Saturday night.
“I had been at the other side of the house and didn’t notice, even though it was massive blaze. The following day my eyes were streaming and I had a sore throat. We don’t know what was in the fire.
“I was amazed to see people parking on our main street, Windward Avenue, so they could take a closer look even though they had been advised to stay away.”
The site belongs to clean energy firm Reform Energy and communications manager Chris Nelson said: “The plastic that was being stored there had a substantial value, and the building itself has been destroyed. With the remedial costs on top of that it’s likely to push beyond the £300,000 point. We will be in contact with our insurers.”
The baled plastic, which was being stored at the warehouse temporarily, has been left to burn out in a controlled state, with fire crews maintaining a presence at the scene.
Reform Energy chief executive John Potter said: “The fire is contained within the site so it does not pose a hazard and security personnel will be on duty to control access.
“We regret any inconvenience caused to people by the smoke and fire and the road closures and have appreciated their co-operation. We are thankful there have been no injuries or loss of life as a result of the fire.
“Lancashire Fire and Rescue have been hugely professional in the way they dealt with the fire
“Air quality monitoring will also be carried out.”
Fleetwood fire station confirmed the fire will be left to burn in a controlled state for several days.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service manager Mark Winder said: “We are holding regular discussions with Wyre Council, the Environment Agency and police and it has been decided that we will allow the fire to burn out in a controlled way. This is the safest way to deal with this sort of material.”

We discuss the idea that people have learned to accept something that they don’t need to accept anymore on this episode of Lifespan News.
From the dawn of humanity until very recently, aging and death were a given. In a best case scenario, you get old, and then you die. It’s been this way forever. And it’s viewed by many as our natural fate and something we should accept. This is what might be referred to as learned helplessness, and it’s a concept that we can and must overcome.
If you believe that circumstances are beyond your control, and that you’re helpless to do anything about it, you could end up simply accepting what is happening to you, even when the circumstances have changed enough to offer a way out.
At least, this is what has been seen in experiments. People and animals have been shown to resign themselves to pain and misery, or have taught themselves to expect failure and therefore not to even try.
In the 1960s, psychologist Martin Seligman conducted some now famous and controversial experiments that demonstrated this. In his studies, some dogs received a mild electric shock with no way of preventing it. Later when the experiment settings changed, and the dogs did have a way to escape, they didn’t take it. They accepted the shock even though they could do something to prevent it.
This seems very relevant to what we’re experiencing today when it comes to tackling aging and age-related diseases. A type of what we’re calling learned helplessness could be playing a role in people’s reluctance to take any action against aging, or in their disbelief in the potential of longevity science.
Now, there are some differences here. In the experiment, the dogs failed to change their circumstances and experienced immediate negative consequences because of that. This isn’t a perfect analogy to what we’re facing with aging. For many of us, aging is actually seen as a good thing, and something we wouldn’t necessarily want to halt or reverse – at least until we are into adulthood.
And then at some point, there are clear signs of aging – wrinkles, gray hairs, pains, diminished physical ability. The effects of aging are coming for us all, but they often don’t become unbearable until the later stages of life. So we’re not necessarily resigned to accept aging because of our own past experiences and failures, but because everyone we see goes through this process – and everyone that has ever lived has gone through this process – so we’re resigned to continue on this trajectory because we know of no other path, and perhaps we think it’s misguided or egotistical to even explore an alternative. The learned helplessness of aging.
What’s interesting about learned helplessness is that, once you’ve accepted that you’re helpless, you hold that conviction even when circumstances change and you could control the outcome. With aging, up until very recently, you really were helpless. But now the situation has changed. It appears that we can do something about this – something that our ancestors never could.
Aging no longer seems to be inevitable. While we’re not there yet, progress is being made. If you were one of Seligman’s dogs, would you want to stay put and accept your shock, or would you act and change your situation?
Now today, will you take action in your own life and support the initiatives that seek to change the story, or are you going to resign yourself to the deterioration of your health, and your eventual death. The choice is yours.
I’m Ryan O’Shea, and we’ll see you next time on Lifespan News!

2015 Honda Ridgeline is the next generation of Honda Truck with regard to long term. Honda is well-known as best automobile manufactures which generally manufacture cars and motorcycle to all countries in the world.

Design of 2015 Honda Ridgeline
The 2015 Honda Ridgeline will probably undergo some slight changes in its design. What we know for sure is that it will be made of lightweight materials, like aluminum, which will reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and, therefore, improve its fuel economy. Even though this new-generation pick-up truck will remain very similar to the previous model, we can assume that both headlights and taillights will bear some refreshments concerning its look. Furthermore, the front grille may be revised, as well. What’s more, the 2015 Honda Ridgeline will be offered in three different color choices: white, dark and brownish. As far as the interior look, there are not any photos based on which we can give you some facts about its cabin style. However, we suppose that this Japanese four-wheeler will be equipped with some cutting-edge technology features, such as navigation system with a big touchscreen and enough airbags.
Engine range for 2015 Honda Ridgeline
Speaking of the powertrain, there aren’t any certain reports about the engine options. But according to some rumors, the 2015 Honda Ridgeline will be powered by 3.7 L engine that will possibly be able to generate more than 250 hp. This power unit will be coupled to 6-speed automatic CVT or VS transmission. As for the fuel consumption, it is supposed to be lowered in comparison to the current
Price of 2015 Honda Ridgeline
The price of the 2015 Honda Ridgeline is also uncertified. However, we assume that it won’t differ much from the cost of its forerunner which starts from $29,575. When this mid-range truck comes out in the streets, it will be a big competition to Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier

Chronicles - Chapter 6
by Fernando Kornijezuk
Varanda liked the new color of his eyes, black as night. Black as his family’s African heritage. Black as his name. Dark as his personality. Whatever had been white in his eyes, which God had built, had been replaced by two obsidians, built by technology, which seemed perfect for someone who had two mechanical prostheses instead of arms. Unlike his appearance and behavior, Varanda’s movements had an odd subtlety to them; he was an undetectable figure through the deserted and shadowy streets of what had once been a big city.
His boots kept him from getting wet in the puddles of water he could not avoid. Most would say he was lucky to have boots, but Varanda knew that everything he owned came from his skill rather than chance. A promising university linebacker, prepared to be the fastest, the strongest, the smartest. Possibly the number one player in the NFL Draft of 2053, which ended up not happening when the world went haywire. In the following years, a college athlete became a getaway driver for a group of freaks who tried to make a living by stealing while the police ran like headless chickens. It could only end up going wrong, and that lifestyle worked out only until it didn’t.
He wished prisons still existed. The law of the courts had already been replaced by the law of the streets, and punishment came much faster now. The loss of his arms seemed appropriate for being a criminal driver, and he should even feel grateful they had dropped his bloody carcass near one of the few hospitals that still worked. However, it was not gratitude he felt. It was the desire to not forget the faces of any of those “UNITY” bastards who had done that to him. Many years had gone by, and when a debt was paid, it was necessary to take interest and monetary indexation into account.
The constant lightning bolts at night and the giant skeletal structures of the desolate skyscrapers provided a show of light and shadow through the streets. Everything that was still productive in the world belonged to the Corporations. When someone tried to build something outside the walls, it was soon confiscated. That meant very little was left for the majority of the people, which provided a fertile ground for a religion of madmen to get many followers. Corporations tolerated UNITY because it kept the people under control. However, they must have other hidden interests. There were always hidden interests.
Varanda turned right around the corner and spotted his destination. Outside the old public library stood two lions at the foot of the grand staircase leading to massive wooden doors. The head was torn off one of the imposing beasts, giving it a comic and tragic air. Lining the steps were hundreds of beggars and homeless people, hoping to get food crumbs, medicine, or hope. Beside the door, a few people were dressed in white. Around their necks were gold scarves that bore a symbol formed by two interlocking chain links – one positioned horizontally and the other vertically. They concerned themselves with distributing leaflets and inviting passersby to the worship service that was about to begin.
Facing the steps, Varanda thought about the time it had taken him to track down his first target. Though his mind knew where he had to go, at first he had no idea how to carry out his revenge without either arm. Later, with the first prosthetic arm in place, he was able to feed himself and do little more than that. His discipline from the time he’d been a player kicked in and showed him the way to salvation, and Varanda focused his energy on keeping his body and mind healthy through a daily and strenuous exercise routine. His body was his temple. His mind, his shepherd. He was in top form when he received the unexpected invitation to be a driver once again. A driver without arms in a truck without fuel. He had not laughed in many years, but that joke was really funny. Except it was not a joke. “Are you blind or crazy?” he remembered saying. But the man with the slow, steady voice answered unblinkingly.
- A little madness is what the world needs. But the blind man here, Black, is you. I can help you see again, from a new perspective, if you let me. And I know the right woman to fix those arms. For a price.
No price would be too high. Not for what he had in mind. What came after it was better than any miracle. First, the cybernetic implants, and then the truck powered by kinetic energy. As if by magic, Black felt cured.
Running against the Corporations, stealing all kinds of resources, made more of a difference than those idiots with their leaflets. The merchants thanked him by paying well those truckers who came back alive and brought cargo from their missions. Hence the boots. And his reputation had given Varanda access to the people who had information that had finally brought him to that moment.
The doors began to close and the black figure hurried to enter the building at the last moment, dodging the beggars like one dodges puddles. The great hall was lit by hundreds of candles on the sides and on chandeliers. Where bookcases had once stood were countless pews, with hundreds of people jostling each other for an inch or so of butt space. In the center, a round pulpit covered by a dark red carpet rose a few meters higher than the ground, surrounded by flights of steps that allowed access to it.
The figures dressed in white stood around the pulpit as a bald figure, dressed in the same clothes but wearing a red scarf, took the highest seat. Varanda stood in the background, positioned between the rows of pews, so that his access to the pulpit was unobstructed. Silence fell as the show was about to begin. However, Varanda had a different idea about how it would end. The preacher began his sermon and his voice intoxicated Black, taking him back to that fateful night. There was no doubt in his mind; it was time for payback.
His walk began slowly, but quickened at the sound of each word the false prophet uttered as the dark avenger became more determined. When Black was halfway down his path, his black glass stones peered into his target’s eyes, which reacted as if they were seeing the Devil incarnate. At that moment, he really was the Devil. Before the bald man could utter his next word, Varanda sped up and leapt over the steps, landing and grabbing the opponent's skull with his huge left hand in one continuous motion.
Varanda looked deep into Donavan Bale’s eyes:
- It’s funny, your head is smaller than a basketball.
The mechanical fist began to close and the preacher uttered a muffled scream. The moment his legs and arms went limp, a horrible odor filled the place. Varanda already knew what it was, but many who were there didn’t. When someone dies, they shit themselves.
Everything had happened in a flash and the crowd took a few moments to comprehend what had just happened. At the first shrill scream, the hall became an inferno, with flying pews and running people all around. Black looked at the other members of UNITY and noticed that after the moment of surprise, they were searching for something under their clothes. One of them was the first to draw a pistol. Varanda threw himself behind a small pulpit in time to evade the shot. At that moment, Hubcap flew through the closest window, blowing the stained glass into a thousand pieces. The drone, which weighed a ton, knocked over the first attacker, crushing him to the ground. Suddenly, all the weapons turned to him, as planned.
Varanda Black took advantage of his cue and dashed, lightning fast, toward the side door he had identified as his primary escape route. He used his shoulder as a battering ram to make his way to the street. It had begun to drizzle. He ran a few more meters to where his truck was hidden. He opened the door and took a fright when he saw her inside, smiling, cross-legged, cigarette in hand. “You have shit on your boots,” she said languidly. He shrugged and stepped into the truck’s cabin. As soon as Hubcap settled into his nest, he fired the kinetic engine of his truck and started his escape. Black stretched in his chair. Reptilian arms wrapped around him from behind, caressing his cyber-arms. “So? Do they work?” she asked, already knowing the answer.
One down. Five more to go.

Following video footage of Anna Soubry MP being abused outside Parliament yesterday More United supporters are signing this open letter to the House of Commons Speaker John Bercow. Please add your name.
Open letter to House of Commons Speaker John Bercow:
We believe in a Britain where people are free to hold opposing views and debate their politics.
Already in 2019, we have seen Anna Soubry MP and the commentator Owen Jones harassed and intimidated outside Parliament. In 2018 Jacob Rees Mogg’s children were told on their doorstep by protestors that he is ‘a horrible person’ and online abuse reached new heights with rape threats, nooses and other vile content regularly posted to MPs and other public figures.
If it continues this behaviour risks undermining our democracy.
Westminster is the home of our democracy. That is why we are calling on John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons to bring together the relevant authorities and individuals to get to grips with this issue.
Brexit will continue to be an emotive subject for people across the country. Whether we leave the European Union or not, Britain must continue to demonstrate its commitment to democracy. This means whether it is online or offline politically motivated abuse, threats and harassment have to stop.

Some allegations made in a civil discrimination lawsuit against Denton County were proved to be false and others were misleading, according to court documents obtained by the Denton Record-Chronicle. And the district attorney isn’t talking about the role those allegations played in his decision to force the resignations of four assistant district attorneys on June 25.
On June 21, a federal jury decided in favor of misdemeanor prosecutor Nadiya Williams-Boldware in her claims that she toiled in a hostile work environment and was denied promotions because of her race. She was awarded $510,000 plus attorney’s fees. Fees paid to the county’s lawyer as well bring the loss to Denton County taxpayers to an estimated $1 million.
Prior to the jury trial, U.S. District Judge Michael Schneider ruled there was no evidence to support allegations that prosecutors Cary Piel, Susan Piel, Ryan Calvert and John Rentz contributed to a hostile environment in Williams-Boldware’s workplace.
The suit alleged that Cary Piel made a racial comment in front of her; that Susan Piel, who was her supervisor, should have protected her from hearing the comment, and that Rentz and Calvert later made hurtful comments to her.
First Assistant District Attorney Jamie Beck, who acts as spokesperson for District Attorney Paul Johnson’s office, declined comment on the forced resignations or on specific questions about the issue.
“Our office will not be providing any comment on any person that is no longer an employee of the Denton County District Attorney’s Office,” she wrote in an e-mail in response to questions.
Williams-Boldware did not respond to a telephone message asking for comment. One of her attorneys, Bill Trantham, said the county’s lawyers had an opportunity to present all the evidence they wanted to and they didn’t put Susan Piel or Ryan Calvert on the stand.
“Sob, sob. Boo hoo hoo. Cary Piel and John Rentz got up there and lied, and the jury didn’t believe them,” Trantham said. “Paul Johnson lied, and the jury didn’t believe him. He testified that Nadiya came into his office and walked over to his window and told him she could have John Wiley Price and a bunch of protesters in the parking lot if he didn’t give her the money to pay off her student loans. That was a lie, and [the jury] gave her $510,000. How do you explain that?”
The Piels, who are married, Calvert, who is Susan Piel’s brother, and Rentz were all seasoned felony trial prosecutors. The Piels had worked together and won high-profile cases such as the murder case against former police officer Bobby Lozano and a murder charge against Charles Stobaugh, whose wife went missing and never was seen or heard from again.
Calvert was serving on a Tarrant County jury pool on June 25, but the other three were called into a conference room with Johnson, who told them he wanted their resignations or they would be fired. They complied and left almost immediately.
Rentz has not responded to efforts to reach him for comment. The suit alleged that he called Williams-Boldware a troublemaker.
Calvert said his cellphone was turned off that morning because he was in a courtroom. He checked his messages during a break and found one from Johnson asking for a callback. He returned the call but reached voice mail and asked Johnson to call him again.
Johnson did not, Calvert said. Instead, at the lunch break, Calvert saw an e-mail from Johnson asking that he contact him when he was done with jury duty. He also had numerous messages from his sister.
Calvert called Susan Piel and learned that they were being let go and were supposed to resign. He immediately sent Johnson an e-mail tendering his resignation. He never heard another word from Johnson.
Calvert was shocked. Never once in his nine years with the district attorney had he heard anything but praise from Johnson and Beck, he said. He was named attorney of the year in 2011 and 2012 by the Denton County Crime Victims Coalition.
The lawsuit alleges that on Oct. 29, 2009, Calvert attended a birthday party in the office for Williams-Boldware. The suit states that Calvert, in the presence of Williams-Boldware and others, said that he had better leave the party or his tone would have him going to “one of those classes.” That apparently was a reference to sensitivity classes that Cary Piel attended after his comment.
Later, Williams-Boldware admitted in a sworn deposition that Calvert did not attend her birthday party and that she did not actually hear him say anything about her.
Calvert said the truth was that he passed a friend in the hallway in another part of the office that day and the friend suggested that he go by the party because there was food. He did not at that time even know what his brother-in-law had said to Williams-Boldware or that he attended a sensitivity class, he said. Calvert’s own perception of Williams-Boldware was that she was extremely sensitive and easily offended.
“I always found her to be nice, to be pleasant, but her temperament was one of emotional sensitivity,” he said. “I responded that I might say happy birthday in the wrong tone of voice and upset her.”
Calvert said there was no one else in the hallway, but apparently a friend of Boldware must have overheard the comment and repeated it to her.
Later that same afternoon Calvert was called into Beck’s office and asked about the comment. Trantham — one of Williams-Boldware’s lawyers, along with Chris Raesz — had called to complain.
Calvert told Beck exactly what he said and where he was when he said it, he said. The friend was called in separately and told Beck the same thing.
“I am not a racist. I never said a word about sensitivity class,” Calvert said. “Ms. Beck acknowledged to me that my comment had nothing to do with race. She said not to worry about it.”
No one in the district attorney’s office is allowed to comment to the press except Beck. So when the lawsuit was made public and Beck declined comment, that left the four people accused of racial wrongdoing with no way to defend themselves.
Calvert was dismissed from the lawsuit by the judge. He was never deposed and did not attend the trial. His dismissal came as the aftermath of the county losing a lawsuit, he said.
“My job was dependent on a trial I had no part in,” Calvert said. “It had nothing to do with my being a racist. It had everything to do with politics.”
Susan Piel was not at the birthday celebration either. She had been walking a tightrope because she supervised Williams-Boldware, and she desperately wanted to refrain from doing anything that might offend her. Neither was she present during the episode when her husband made the racially insensitive remark in April 2009, she said.
Months later Beck informed her that Williams-Boldware had filed a complaint with the county human resources department. The department determined that the district attorney’s office had taken appropriate action. Susan Piel told Beck that she had stayed out of the issue because of her precarious position between her husband and her employee. Beck told her she did the right thing, Susan Piel said.
Then in December 2009 the lawsuit was filed. Susan Piel said at that time she asked to be removed as Williams-Boldware’s supervisor. And she was. But she still supervised all the other misdemeanor prosecutors and she feared that something she said or did would be taken wrong. She requested that she be laterally moved to avoid problems. She received a letter back from Johnson denying the request.
“You have excelled at your position as Chief of the Misdemeanor Division. …” the letter said in part. “Susan, I am proud of the professional demeanor you have displayed to date and am confident that you will continue to conduct yourself in a like manner as you continue to meet your responsibilities in the position of Misdemeanor Division Chief.”
This was the only message she ever received concerning the lawsuit, she said. From April 2009 to June 2012, she was never told that she did anything wrong, she said.
She did not testify at the trial. When she was summoned to the meeting room, neither she nor any of the others was given a reason for the demand for their resignations, she said.
She plans to spend some time with her and Cary’s three children before finding another job, she said.
“Right now, I’m just taking it day by day,” she said. “I understand that politics are involved when you work for an elected official. If the district attorney felt that I needed to go, he has had the past three years to communicate that to me. I would have quietly left, if asked. But for me, it feels disloyal to have been assured for three years that you did nothing wrong and then be abruptly and publicly humiliated this way.”
That April of 2009, Cary Piel was prosecuting a case against a black woman who drunkenly drove across a graveyard, destroying a number of headstones, and he had just watched a video of her fighting with officers and yelling curses and racial slurs against them when they arrested her. He was upset by her actions, he said, when he made a racial comment in front of Williams-Boldware.
By the time he walked back to his office he realized that he had blundered, he said. He immediately sat down at his computer and apologized to her in an e-mail.
“A few days later I saw her and I apologized over and over. I apologized five times,” Cary Piel said in a recent interview. “She was still mad at me, but I was sincere and I thought she took it that way.”
Later the incident was investigated. Cary Piel admitted to his remark and said he knew he had made a terrible mistake. A letter of reprimand was placed in his personnel file, and he was directed to attend sensitivity class.
“I accepted that and went to class with an open mind,” he said. “There was never a doubt I was wrong. No question. But no one ever told me I was in jeopardy of losing my job. I took my punishment and I thought it was over.”
Within the week of his forced resignation Cary Piel went to work for the law firm of Jackson & Hagen. He is grateful to Rick Hagen for giving him a position, he said. With his wife having lost her job at the same time and three children to support, he needed a job.
“I’m so glad to get back to work. Rick has a lot of cases, and I can help. He knows that I can work a case,” Cary Piel said.
After the federal judge dismissed the suit’s claims that the four prosecutors contributed to a hostile work environment and kept Williams-Boldware from being promoted, the county was left as the only defendant in the lawsuit. The jury apparently decided that the county was liable for a hostile work environment.
In his pretrial ruling, the judge wrote that Williams-Boldware and her lawyers were ordered to show evidence that the four prosecutors contributed to a hostile workplace. No evidence was ever produced, the judge wrote. He ruled that Williams-Boldware asked for only one promotion and was given that promotion.
The lawsuit speculated that Susan Piel must not have approved Williams-Boldware’s participation in felony trials because she never participated in any.
“Plaintiff cannot state a plausible claim for race discrimination based upon mere belief,” the judge wrote. “… Because plaintiff has failed to allege sufficient facts to support a racial discrimination claim for failure to promote against the individual defendants; this claim should be dismissed. …”

School Discipline Advocacy Service, a Temple Law student initiative working in partnership with the Education Law Center, has won funding support from the American College of Trial Lawyers through a grant awarded to ELC. The grant was one of two awarded nationwide by ACTL in support of “programs that strive to provide needed legal assistance to unrepresented persons …. and offer the potential for growth and replication in other locations.”
SDAS began in 2011 in response to the growing number of suspensions, expulsions and arrests of Philadelphia area public school students, especially poor African-Americans and Hispanics, stemming from the zero discipline tolerance policy enacted in 2008 by the then-Philadelphia Superintendent of Schools. Born out of the need to assist those in the Philadelphia public schools with no one else to help them in regard to school disciplinary matters, the ELC has established a quick response process to these school proceedings by using Temple University Law School students and ELC staff attorneys to provide immediate legal assistance to unrepresented minor students. According to ELC, “The students and families we represent have no other advocates in their corner, yet the stakes for these children are high.”
The American College of Trial Lawyers is composed of the best of the trial bar from Canada and the United States and is widely considered to be the premier professional trial organization in North America. Founded in 1950, the College is dedicated to maintaining and improving the standards of trial practice, the administration of justice and the ethics of the profession. Fellowship in the College is extended by invitation only, and after careful investigation, to those experienced trial lawyers who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility, and collegiality.

Iron County remembers missing soldiers
CEDAR CITY – Several Iron County officials and residents gathered Friday morning for National POW/MIA Recognition Day, a day when the public is reminded that not all American heroes make it home from war.
The groups somberly watched as members of the Southern Utah University ROTC raised the American flag and the Black and White POW/MIA flag during a ceremony on SUU’s campus.
The ceremony was hosted by the local American Legion Post 74, the Michael O. Leavitt Center for Politics, and the SUU Veterans Center.
County Commissioner Dave Miller, along with SUU’s President Scott Wyatt, joined the groups to honor the missing men and women.
Miller spoke after the flag ceremony, highlighting the spirit of freedom and how great it is to live in this country.
“We live in a great time, and we have many opportunities in front of us,” Miller said. “May we continue the tradition and spirit of freedom and love for our fellowman. And may we remember those institutions around us that have helped shape us into the Americans we can be.”
Retired Navy Capt. Ron Lewis spoke after the Missing Man Table Ceremony.
He shared stories about a few of the men who were missing in action but later identified by recent advancements in technology.
“In the last two decades, scientific advancements in remains identification technology have come a long ways and especially in advancements in DNA matching,” he said.
Lewis said it is important to remember fallen and missing soldiers everyday and not just one day of the year.
“America’s unaccounted heroes must not become the forgotten in American history,” he said.
After the event, Lewis handed out POW/MIA flags and asked people to commit to flying them in appreciation and honor of veterans.
“Both flags fly in the entrance of my New Harmony home. There are 43 Utahans who remain unaccounted for on the battlegrounds of Korea and Vietnam,” Lewis said. “Congress has passed legislation that the POW/MIA flag must be flown across America on this day. I will give anyone a POW/MIA flag who will faithfully fly it on this day and on Memorial Day.”
Lewis said 83,000 soldiers in all the wars combined have still not been accounted for.
POW/MIA Recognition Day was established in 1979 and has been observed on the third Friday of September since 1986.
Utah Rep. John Westwood, R-Cedar City, passed a bill in the state legislature last year requiring the POW/MIA flag to be flown all over the state on POW/MIA Recognition Day.

Hello November. Goodbye Sunlight.
The day of the year I dread more than most the day the clocks go back and this year that was on 28th October, I didn’t mind the extra hour in bed, or that day, in general. It was a pretty good Sunday, but the loss of light which was ahead was stuck in my head. Knowing that it wouldn’t be until March when those long nights became longer days all over again. Sat my desk that day, knowing when I started it was only just getting light and when I finish the light will be completely gone. Limiting myself to going out in the evenings because the dark is something I fear. The person I become not having those extra hours of light struggles through the next few months.
SAD also is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression that comes and goes throughout a seasonal pattern. Most of us struggle with change that is out of our control, but this goes deeper than that. The change for most of us who struggle with SAD is unbearable. The lack of light makes us a shadow of who we were in the summer. SAD doesn’t just affect people who struggle with the winter months, it can be the same for the summer months too.
Seasonal Affective Disorder brings out the worst parts of our depression and there’s nothing we can do about it. For me personally, it makes me want to hide out in my bed a lot more, as the idea of going outside is not something I want to contend with. Getting up and going to work seems to become more of a struggle each and every day. The energy I had in the other 5 months of the year, zapped from within me. Looking forward to the months of being able to open the curtains and feel happy to be awake. SAD can often make us feel like we want to hibernate and not see our friends, not go out, and finding it hard to sleep at night and then almost impossible to stay awake in the light. One of my bad bouts involved me failing to sleep at night due to constantly waking up, then sleeping all day until it was dark again. I think I went 4 days without seeing any natural light and it made me feel so ill, but I couldn’t overcome it.
Despite this, Christmas is still one of my favourite times of the year, and this is something that helps me to get through those really bad days. With the upcoming excitement of the streets being covered in lights, a huge tree making its way to the middle of the town, my house is filled with bright and quirky ornaments and of course the best Christmas songs and films around. The spirit of people coming together churns out some of the people who has been hiding inside. I find it a lot easier to cope on days when I feel like I have things to look forward to, and as much as I hate to admit it on the days when I eat better, I do feel the benefit. Taking those daily vitamins is a great way to boost your mood from within also, I often don’t realise how much they do for me until I stop taking them. Vitamin C and D are my best friends for giving me an extra boost.
Until recently I had suffered in silence about Seasonal Affective Disorder and when a work friend and I started to discuss how every single morning at work felt like we had to wade through water whilst feeling like we have weights on our ankles which was pulling us back down, no matter how hard we tried to stop it. He told me about SAD lights and what a difference they make to each day, this is called light therapy. Most light boxes emit 10,000 lux, which boosts the serotonin in your brain and helps you cope day to day during these times For someone who didn’t even know these existed, it was a huge relief to learn such things are available in these bad times. This year, I’ve started to research purchasing my own lightbox. Amazon sells these lights also have a huge section of information on their site about the different types of lightboxes you can get to suit your lifestyle as well as offering information on SAD itself, which can be useful to share with friends and family. Sad.uk also recommend getting light in as early as possible to boost your energy throughout the day.
For now, until the sun returns for another summer ahead, I will try to make the most of the light around me, whether that is real, or artificial. It all makes a difference.

Yoga begins with listening. When we listen, we are giving space to what is.
— Richard Freeman
Yin Yoga is about letting go. Of muscles and the swirls in your head. The number of poses during this class is significantly less than with the more dynamic yoga forms. This makes it a fairly static lesson, where you stay in the postures much longer (between 2 and 5 minutes). With every pose you look for the best way to be relaxed in the pose, while still experiencing it intensively. During this lesson, the teacher has a lot of space to guide you intensively and to adapt the postures to your individual needs.
By relaxing your muscles, the connective tissue is stretched. This creates more mobility in your joints. Your breathing and the postures lead you to awareness of thoughts, feelings, sensations and acceptance. Because you stay in the postures for a long time, you have time to observe your mental and emotional resistance, listen to your body and mind and to let go. Yin Yoga has a meditative and calming effect.
You do not need any previous experience for the Yin Yoga classes. It does not matter whether you are an absolute beginner or very advanced, whether you are in top shape or suffer from an injury.
Only if you have just given birth do we advise a more dynamic yoga style (such as Ashtanga Based (easy) lessons).
Actually, Yin Yoga is intended to complement the more dynamic forms of yoga and exercise such as running, cycling, swimming and fitness. But you can also practice Yin Yoga as a separate yoga form.
At The Yoga Studio you can take a Yin Yoga class several times a week. Different teachers are happy to guide you, each with their own personality. But they have one thing in common: a very large (yin) yoga heart!
Curious about this relaxing style of yoga and would you like to participate? Check our schedule here. Sign up today!

So I was halfway watching a talk show a few weeks ago when they introduced a singer–don’t remember her name–Very pretty and frail-looking blonde woman, maybe 30 years old, who plays piano and has a very smokey, bluesy singing style.
I’ve seen photos of her before, and she always wears this bright red cloak, very Little Red Riding Hood-looking garment.
Does this description ring any bells with anyone?
Wouldn’t be Diana Krall, would it? I haven’t come across any photos of her in the Red Riding Hood garment mentioned. Song samples at this CD Universe link.
Nelly McKay is my best guess. She is awesome…
Nellie McKay it is, thanks!
Just for the record, she’s actually a few months shy of 22.
Her debut double-album, “Get Away From Me” (a subtle snipe at Norah Jones’ mega-popular debut album “Come Away With Me”), is really terrific. Nellie McKay goes from smoky, sultry cocktail lounge chanteuse to wistful, Brit-inspired warbler to angry female rapper to full-on jazz diva, and she plays her own instruments and writes all her own songs.
