Bruce was born on July 2, 1964, in Detroit, Michigan to Willis H. and Patricia M. Gepfrey. He was the 6th of 9 children. In 1970, the family moved to Lapeer, Michigan.

Three thoughts on the Jazz's 128-125 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.
1. Derrick Rose scored 50 points. How?
The Jazz waived Derrick Rose last season after ending up with him in a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers. The plan was always to waive him, and it made sense: he's had a negative plus-minus for the last four years, and with his high usage rate, could have hijacked the Jazz's offense. Even after tonight's performance, I still think it was the right call.
But there's no denying he was sensational tonight. Rose scored 50 points overall on 19-31 shooting, including 4-7 from 3, plus 8-11 from the free-throw line. The Jazz last gave up 50 points to James Harden early in last season in a road loss to Houston.
The Jazz are okay with giving up mid-range shots over the aggregate, but they don't want them to be uncontested. Too frequently, Ricky Rubio died on the screens the Wolves set, and Rose attacked quickly. That left Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors some decisions to make, and they chose to leave the iffy shooter open, even though he had shot well earlier on in the game. The Jazz fouled him and allowed him to get inside far too frequently.
And when he takes a pull-up three in transition, you're pretty cool with it, because he's made exactly three pull-up threes in the last four years.
Rose was fantastic tonight, but his performance reminded me of something the economist John Maynard Keynes allegedly said about the stock market: "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." Sure, you can find a market inefficiency, in this case, allowing Rose to take jumpers. In general, that's a good idea when he shoots less than 30 percent from distance and 35 percent from mid-range. But over the course of one trade, or one game, your market inefficiency may not pan out the way you want it to. You might go bankrupt. Or, if you've chosen your career a little better, lose a regular-season basketball game.
That being said: you would have liked to see the Jazz adapt to the changing situation a little better. The Jazz are capable of playing lights-out defense, not just math-dependent defense. Tonight, they didn't have any of the former.
2. Jazz try different looks against KAT, none pay off.
And even though Rose scored 50, it could have been all for naught if the Jazz had done a better job defending the rest of the Wolves. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 28 points, shooting 9-17 overall. Towns is a great offensive player, one of the best, so this isn't too out of the norm.
What I did think was surprising was how the Jazz chose to defend Towns with Jae Crowder for much of the game. The idea makes some sense: because Towns is a perimeter-oriented big man, having Gobert or Favors switch on to Taj Gibson or Gorgui Dieng might mean that they can stay closer to the basket, giving the Jazz some rim protection.
But what ended up happening was Towns just scoring over Crowder with relative ease.
Towns also beat Crowder for an offensive rebound late in the game: Crowder's not used to boxing out big men. Now, in Crowder's defense, Towns just scored with ease over Favors a couple of times too. He's just very good.
That was a trend in tonight's game: the Jazz's defense wasn't good with Gobert in, allowing a 115 defensive rating. With him out, though, it was catastrophic: in 15 minutes he was off the court, the Jazz gave up a 135 defensive rating.
That led Snyder to change his rotation: Gobert actually started the fourth quarter along with most of the bench, and the Jazz actually went on a 8-3 run during that three-minute stretch.
Towns will do that to teams, he's a matchup problem.
Again, Gobert was very good overall tonight, scoring 22 points on 9-12 shooting. He added six more dunks to get to a league-leading total of 34. The defense improved as noted above, but the offense took even a bigger jump: the Jazz had a 134 offensive rating with him on the court, and an 84 offensive rating with him off of it.
He finished as a +13, the highest plus-minus total for anyone on either team. Really, if he hadn't had picked up two extremely questionable fouls in the first six minutes of the game, the Jazz probably would have won: I doubt the Wolves go on a 14-2 first-quarter run with Gobert on the court.
And yet: this isn't a good shot for Gobert to take in this situation. It's not a terrible look, I suppose: he has an open look at the basket. But Gobert's not super adept at making this kind of shot.
Down two, the Jazz need to focus on getting the best shot possible. That's not a Gobert hook/push shot. In the last three seasons, Gobert is 20-68 on hook shots; essentially, you've seen him make them before, but it's not an efficient look. And with 17 seconds on the shot clock, there's just a lot of time to get something better, especially given that the Wolves' defense wasn't exactly playing well all game long.
Gobert knows better than this normally, but you got the sense that he wanted to put his stamp on the game, to hit the big shot when his team needed it. Instead, though, he made a mistake that hurt the Jazz's chance at winning in a big way.


Ecommerce fulfillment in China can refer to any aspects of order processing, storage and shipping services, and pick, pack and ship services that fulfill orders from a business to its customers, either to or from the country of China. Many of our clients at WTDC need fulfillment services for orders that are processed from a variety of channels- including products from overseas from export juggernauts like China. As ecommerce is becoming such an integral part of commerce, WTDC is able to fit the needs of fulfillment for all sorts of clients, many of which process orders for their customers through the internet.

Some aspects of the services that WTDC provides that integrate with ecommerce fulfillment and make it extremely efficient for businesses dealing with imports and exports with China include an online inventory control system, kitting and custom assembly,packing and crating, and "pick & pack." Even for ecommerce, some clients have marketing materials that are integrated with a client's ecommerce business.

WTDC has an inventory control team that processes all sizes of shipments that are both B2B and B2C. We help our client integrate the whole process, including purchasing, warehousing, and shipping. Sourcing goods from anywhere in the world is not a problem for doing ecommerce fulfillment for clients. As many importers do business with producers in China, knowing the common practices of business and dealing with the logistics of import and export as it relates to ecommerce fulfillment is a specialized process. That includes handling goods from the manufacturer's door in China all the way to the customer or business. No good or goods is too big or two small. WTDC can manage the entire supply chain for ecommerce fulfillment and help you reduce your cost and efficiency. Inbound and outbound logistics, online inventory management, and streamlining the entire ecommerce fulfillment process to and from China is what we do.

The consumers have a wide variety of choices. Production costs are greatly reduced through proper logistics systems and income has greatly increased for many international businesses. According to many business forecasters, Ecommerce Fulfillment for businesses in China is still in its infancy. Business owners in these countries are slowly adopting ecommerce but haven't yet applied this as a principal channel in growing their businesses. Internet experts expect ecommerce growth in China in the coming years since the number of internet users who make purchases online are significantly increasing too. There is an increasing penetration of domestic ecommerce and investments in China is recently comparative to Japan, United Kingdom and South Korea-- and experts say that online shopping will increase significantly in the coming years in China. Ecommerce Fulfillment in China is evolving rapidly as many users seek to shop online. Shopping online is more convenient for many people. Ecommerce encompasses the activities that a firm develops for selling and buying products over the internet.

Ecommerce Fulfillment in China is also opening up because of flexibility offered by computer networks and the internet. Even though some restrictions have been placed on internet users in China, a great deal of products are exported to other markets like the United States. Efficient ecommerce fulfillment creates new opportunities for conducting activities online and companies can work together to design and build new products.

Q: Encapsulating multiple instances of a ASP.Net user control with AJAX WCF service calls I have a usercontrol, which (on validation), calls a hosted WCF service async from JavaScript.  The callback is handled by javascript, and updates a few labels on the control.
This all appears to work as expected for a single instance of the control on a webpage.  However, I run into problems if I want multiple instances of the same control on a page...
If, for instance, I put three instances of the control on a page, then the generated HTML includes the script block three times, and appears not to tie the handlers up to the individual controls.
Does anyone know a clever way to acomplish this?
My JavaScript currently looks something like this (I'm using DevExpress controls, hence no 'getElementById()'):
function OnValidating(s, e) {
    var service = new MyServices.CheckEmailAddressService();
    service.GetUserInfo(e.value, OnValidated, OnError);
}

function OnValidated(result) {

    if (result.UserID < 1) {
        EmailAddressTextBox.SetIsValid(false);
        NameLabel.SetValue('');
        InstitutionLabel.SetValue('');
    }
    else {
        EmailAddressTextBox.SetIsValid(true);
        NameLabel.SetValue(result.FirstName + ' ' + result.LastName);
        InstitutionLabel.SetValue(result.InstitutionName);
    }

}

function OnError() { }

Thanks :)

Q: Ajax blob type recognition javascript I'm using javascript to download multiple files from a webpage.
I'm using FileSaver.js to save the file and this method to download :
function downloadFile(url, success) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', url, true);
xhr.responseType = "blob";
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
        if (success) success(xhr.response);
    }
};
xhr.send(null);

}
together I'm using it like that :
downloadFile(imgurl, function(blob) {
saveAs(blob, "image" + item + ".jpeg");
});

but the problem is im not sure what is the image/video type and the links arent specifying them. (cant take extention from url there's none)
My main issue is recognition between videos and images, probably mp4/png but I prefer being able to determine each file type so I can save it with its extention.
thanks in advance

Hitsville UK è il tredicesimo singolo della band The Clash, il terzo estratto dal loro quarto album Sandinista!.

Il brano
È ritenuto uno dei brani più melodici della band, ricco di influenze gospel e soul (in particolare nelle parti di organo), con la parte vocale affidata alla cantante-attrice statunitense Ellen Foley accompagnata dal chitarrista e cantante dei Clash Mick Jones, all'epoca suo fidanzato.

Il titolo è un riferimento a Motown Records, l'etichetta soul/R'n'B americana che aveva denominato "Hitsville USA" la propria sede a Detroit, mentre il testo racconta una storia idealizzata del pop/rock indipendente inglese dei tardi anni 70/primi anni 80, la cui purezza musicale e di intenti è contrapposta ai sotterfugi ed alle manovre commerciali del rock mainstream. Ricca di citazioni più o meno esplicite a etichette inglesi del periodo quali Small Wonder, Rough Trade, Fast Product e Factory Records, la canzone celebra la creatività e l'immediatezza delle canzoni e dei singoli prodotti da quella scena.

Il singolo venne pubblicato nel 1981 dalla CBS, con il pezzo inedito Radio One sul lato B. L'edizione USA (Epic) aveva invece Police on My Back - tratta anch'essa dall'album Sandinista! - sul retro. Raggiunse la cinquantaseiesima posizione nelle classifiche dei singoli inglesi.

Edizione UK: CBS 9480 – 16 gennaio 1981

The Blanchardstown Sound
1920s – 1940s
2000s – Present
Facebook Photos from 2012
↑ Return to History
Blanchardstown Brass Band, originally known as St. Brigids Brass & Reed Band was established in 1826, and has been performing Brass Band music now for over 193 years. The name was changed in 1970 to reflect the All-Brass line-up and also to give the Band a better identity. We have our own Band room adjacent to the church car park in Blanchardstown village and rehearse there on Wednesday evenings. As you might have guessed none of the original members are around today, however several of our senior members each have over 50 years service with the band and their dedication is a great example to the other members. We currently have 32 senior players, with a junior group of 9 and a School Band with 13 members who receive after school tuition.
The Band plays in a wide variety of venues during the summer months such as Farmleigh House, Bray Promenade, Swords Castle, and any number of local festivals and private functions. Most years we undertake about 30 engagements of approximately 2 hours each and an average recital would include Marches, an Overture, selections from the Musicals, popular & novelty items and of course Irish and International music. The Band also plays a wide selection of Christmas music and undertakes about 10 engagements over the Christmas period each year.
The Band is non competitive, the members preferring to rehearse for public performance, although we take part in the South of Ireland Band Championships in Clonakilty each July, which is an entertainment competition of our own 15 minute programme. We are usually invited to play at all the important events in the Blanchardstown/Castleknock/Clonsilla area and in the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. We have appeared on national television and played on national & local radio and appeared in the final scene of the film The Purple Taxi, 1977 (featuring Peter Ustinof, Charlotte Rampling & Fred Estaire) which was shot on the Pier in Dun Laoghaire (click here to view clip).
Over the last 193 years the Band has given a good many of the youth in the locality an introduction to music and an appreciation of a wide range of music, something that is still sadly not available through our education system. Many of them have gone on to be professional musicians and the Band still plays a very important educational role in the community, most of our younger members now take music as a subject in their Leaving Cert. We supply all our members with an instrument and uniform and all we ask is that they supply the enthusiasm.
The Early Years and more!
As mentioned earlier the Band was established in 1826 and in support of this date, reference is made to an old shield on which the band name and year of its foundation were inscribed. This was carried on all occasions and prominently displayed when giving a concert. Tradition also plays its part in establishing its age. A Mr Corcoran (Musty) who died in 1932 is quoted as saying some years before his death, that the band was over a hundred years old. And, a Mr English (Barn Lodge) who was 83 years old when he died in 1964 was also a source of information of the early days as he was a long-time member of the band. We believe that the band had some connection with a parish Temperance Society as the late Canon Kevin Brady when he was Parish Priest of Blanchardstown in his readings came across the band playing at a Temperance tea-party in the Parish around 1838.
The earliest meeting place remembered, was in what was known as "The Old Society Rooms", an old thatched cottage which stood where the old Garda Station (next to Ryans garage) is today. In 1903, this cottage was destroyed by fire, some of the instruments were saved, but all the records and papers were lost. The members took the instruments to their homes after this, and weekly rehearsals were held at the village pump on the Car Road at the back of St. Brigid's cottages on Sunday mornings, followed by a march around the village. Mr P. Cruise, who worked in Rathbourne's Candle Factory is mentioned as being the mainstay of the band at this time. In 1917, Carroll's Hall was used, and later the local Court House which was blown up in 1922. Once again, the band suffered the loss of most of its instruments for which they were afterwards compensated with the sum of £80. The Bass Drum was found near the Tolka River after this explosion. In 1924, the band purchased some instruments from the Wellington Quay Workingman's Club and we still have a Euphonium in playable condition, along with a Big Bass Drum.
Determined to have their own rehearsal hall in 1923, a house-to-house collection was organised in the Parish. Indicative of the disturbed conditions existing at the time is a note made by one of the collectors that "the Rector at Mount Hybla was so relieved at hearing it was not a hold up, he gave us two pounds". The names of Lord Holmpatrick, the Hon T.K. Laidlaw, Lord Moyne and Lord Iveagh also appear in the subscription lists. With the proceeds of this collection an old disused Army Hut was bought for £15 and re-erected on the Mill Road. This Band room constructed of corrugated iron with a wooden interior accommodated us very well until we were forced to move out, due to the sale of the land, in 1979. After nearly 60 years as a place of music making and friendship the old Band room was sold in 1981 for £200 to be used as a shed for livestock. We now rehearse in a modern Band room in the Priests Field adjacent to the Blanchardstown Church, which we built in 1980 following a successful Buy-a-Brick campaign.
The band took part in all major events which took place in the city and which have since passed into the pages of history. In August 1843, it is said they marched to the Hill of Tara and back, on the occasion of O'Connell's Monster Repeal meeting when it was reputed that over a million people were present. In the past, the St. Patrick's Day Parade was an event which merits the description of being unusual. It is reported that the band assembled at 6.30 in the morning and marched to the parish boundary marked by "Nancy Hands" Pub, the owner of which provided liquid refreshments. Having downed these, they marched back to the village so as to be in good time for 8 o'clock Mass. On one occasion on 27th October 1925, at the wedding of Lady Edina Ainsworth to Hans Wellesley Hamilton, the second Lord Holmpatrick not only the employees of the estate, but practically all the residents of the village took part in the celebrations on the lawn of Abbotstown House, with the Blanchardstown Band providing the music. During the festivities, the Band Master at the time Mr Boyne, a former member of the RIC (Royal Irish Constablulary), met a British Army Officer with whom he had served in the First World War, and they well and truly celebrated their reunion. We still have in our library, a collection of music and marches arranged for the band by Mr Boyne.
The band headed the Old IRA veterans into O'Connell Street during the 50th Anniversary of the Easter Rising in 1966, and played the Anthem in Croke Park on many occasions. In 1979, on the occasion of the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ireland, the band led the procession of people coming from the west of the City to the Mass in the Phoenix Park. Over half a million people attended the Mass on the day. While we have played for many different organisations and associations, political, religious and sporting the members hold to their own affiliations so much so that during the troubles in Ireland at the beginning of the last century the band stayed neutral, an arrangement which held the band together and suited all, with one exception. It is said that during the Land League Campaign the bands bass drummer got his son, who played the cornet, to stand opposite the RIC Barracks and play all the rebel tunes he knew, and again, on their way to an engagement in Chapelizod he went to the door of the Protestant Church in Castleknock and beat loudly on the bass drum while Divine Service was being held, so much for ecumenism!
Our Bandmasters through the years were a Mr O'Driscoll around 1840 whom Dermot Byrne, one of our cornet players is a direct descendant; a Mr Brannigan (Chapelizod); Mr Boyne; next to follow was Mr Ed Smith who was a cornet player under Mr Boyne; Mr J Martin who was trained as a Hibernian School boy; Mr Lynch a member of the original Garda Band and the long defunct Garda Ceili Band; Mr Tommy (Busty) Smith from the Army School of Music; Mr Pat O'Brien ex Army School of Music; Mr Jimmy Lowe, an instructor in the Army School of Music; Mr Billy Byrne, Conductor of the Garda Band, Mr Michael Harford, Band Secretary for over 60 years and a former cornet/baritone player and from 2010 Zdenek Ondrousek, a native of the Czech Republic and a graduate of the Conservatory of Music in Pardubice.
Our first ever uniforms were navy blue with light blue piping and trimmings, bought in 1959, but caps and satchels were worn for 30 years before that. In 1971 we went all "Mod" with a snappy slate-blue blazer and grey slacks followed in 1977 by the more traditional uniform in bottle green with gold trimmings on the jacket & trousers. Our current uniform is a burgundy blazer with black trousers purchased in 1994. In March 2010 we got new outdoor jackets which we were delighted to perform in on St. Patrick's Day in Kilcock. Over the last few years we have invested a lot of money in professional quality instruments and while they can cost anything from €1000 to €5000 each we feel that this is one of our highest priorities.
Through the years, engagements to play for Dublin Corporation, Dublin County Councils, Dun Laoghaire Borough Council, Bray U.D.C., garden parties, sports meetings, fetes etc. were always welcome as the performance fees helped to keep our funds healthy and our Bank Manager tolerant.
The Band is in a very strong position entering the new Millennium and we hope to continue for quite some time yet and look forward to celebrating 200 years of Brass Banding in 2026. To conclude we have a poem about the Band that was written in 1971 by a local bard Tommy Bracken who lived in the Sandpits, Castleknock. This poem illustrates the affection by which the Blanchardstown Brass Band is held by the local community.

This Means War, indeed! On the heels of her Apr. 19 arrest in Atlanta, Reese Witherspoon canceled her Apr. 22 press appearances for Mud (including an interview on Good Morning America). The 37-year-old actress was scheduled to tape an episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, Apr. 23, but Witherspoon has been removed from the lineup.
Fellow guest Eli Manning will fulfill his obligation, however. Witherspoon has since been replaced by Nurse Jackie star Adam Ferrara. The Oscar winner — who was arrested for disorderly conduct just after her husband Jim Toth was arrested on suspicion of DUI — has now become the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.
Witherspoon issued a public apology via her rep on Sunday, Apr. 21, saying she was "deeply embarrassed." She also acknowledged that she "had a few drinks too many" at the time of her arrest.
"The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am," the Legally Blonde star added. "I have nothing but respect for the police and I'm very sorry for my behavior."
Before Witherspoon went on a media blackout, however, she joined costar Matthew McConaughey at the Cinema Society screening of Mud in New York City Apr. 21. After posing for a few pictures and declining interviews, she and Toth, 42, met up with pals Chelsea Handler, Cameron Diaz, Michael Keaton, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann at the Greenwich Hotel.

This intentional interference with wireless transmissions will be used as a launchpad for mounting Denial-of-Service attacks on wireless networks. Sometimes, jamming has been addressed under an external threat model. However, adversaries with internal data of protocol specifications and network secrets will launch low-effort jamming attacks that are difficult to detect and counter. In this work, we tend to address the matter of selective jamming attacks in wireless networks. In these attacks, the adversary is active only for a brief period of time, selectively targeting messages of high importance. We tend to illustrate the advantages of selective jamming in terms of network performance degradation and adversary effort by presenting two case studies; a selective attack on TCP and one on routing. We tend to show that selective jamming attacks can be launched by performing real-time packet classification at the physical layer. To mitigate these attacks, we develop 3 schemes that forestall real-time packet classification by combining cryptographic primitives with physical-layer attributes. We have a tendency to analyze the security of our strategies and evaluate their computational and communication overhead.

Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the chickenpox virus. If you come down with this irritating rash, here is how to treat shingles naturally at home.
Have you ever had chicken pox as a kid? If so, the odds of getting shingles later in life are about 1 in 3. I recently had a bout of shingles and decided not to pay a visit to my doctor. I chose to treat shingles naturally. Although there is no cure for shingles, treating shingles naturally at home can speed recovery.
Before the varicella vaccine became available, chickenpox was a common childhood disease. My three kids were all born after the chickenpox vaccine came out and all of them have had the vaccine. So, I never had to deal with a chickenpox outbreak as a parent. However, I suffered from chickenpox when I was a young child. I was only 3 or 4 years old when I got the chickenpox so I don't recall the ordeal.
Chickenpox is a virus that remains in your body after your symptoms have cleared. It is very similar to the herpes virus in that it remains in your body, dormant. Like the herpes virus, stress often triggers the virus to come out of dormancy. Age is also a factor.
I got shingles at the age of 45, a few days after returning from a 5 day vacation. Prior to the vacation, I had a really bad respiratory infection which lasted over 10 days so I gave into the advice of my doctor and took an antibiotic. The symptoms of my infection had cleared a week before leaving for vacation, but my immune system was certainly affected. It didn't help that I was staying up later during the vacation, but waking up at my normal time. Clearly, a weakened immune system along with lack of sleep led to my shingles outbreak. Luckily, the outbreak was mild for me.
A couple days after returning from my vacation, I developed a small rash on my lower back near my spine. In addition to being itchy, it was causing intermittent pains. Prior to the rash, I had felt a lot of soreness in my back. It was the kind of back pains that I usually fix with a visit to the chiropractor. I had been carrying my 3 year old daughter a lot on the vacation so I just assumed my back got out of adjustment from carrying her on one side.
At first, I thought the rash on my back was caused by bug bites. I even thought we may have brought home bed bugs from our trip. However, after my husband took a good look at it, he told me the rash looked very similar to a bout of mat herpes that our son got from wrestling. After a day of internet searching, I stumbled upon a photo of shingles and knew that was what I had. To speed recovery, I knew I had to find out how to treat shingles naturally.
Before I realized that I had shingles, I was rubbing a grapefruit seed extract (GSE) skin ointment with lysine onto the rash. I had bought it for my son's mat herpes rash, but he never used it. I used the ointment as a precaution in case the rash was viral or bacterial.
My rash may have spread more had I not used this ointment right away. Lysine has been shown to inhibit replication of the herpes virus which is similar to the chickenpox virus. So, using the GSE ointment with lysine in the beginning likely controlled the virus from spreading.
Once I determined that I had shingles, I took a trip to the natural food store and picked up some oral lysine supplements along with a salve made specifically for shingles and herpes. Treating shingles naturally at home was the remedy I chose to make a quick recovery and rebuild my immune system.
I took 2000mg of Lysine a day and rubbed on both skin ointments daily for a couple week. Since I knew my immune system needed help, I also began to take a teaspoon of colloidal silver seven times a day for a short term immune boost.
Most of the pain had diminished after a week. After a couple weeks, the scabs were reducing in size. Other than the remaining scabs, my symptoms had pretty much cleared up after 3 weeks.
You may be wondering if there is a preventative. Unfortunately, there is no technique that can 100% guarantee you won't get shingles. However, there are some natural precautions you can take.
The key to preventing shingles is thinking of ways to keep the virus dormant. This is because you cannot eliminate the virus. When you are stressed, your immune system is broken down. This is usually what causes the shingles virus to come out.
How can you keep your immune system strong? You can take colloidal silver, L-lysine, and other similar products as a preventative in times of stress, lack of sleep, or when you are ill. These natural remedies have helped prevent my cold sore outbreaks during stressful times.
If you are suffering from shingles, these remedies to treat shingles naturally may alleviate and shorten the time of your outbreak. If you are lucky and have not had an outbreak, but have had chickenpox in the past, taking natural immune boosting supplements may prevent and prolong an outbreak from occurring.
Daily supplements of L-lysine and colloidal silver are excellent for treating shingles naturally. Natural skin ointments can also help your skin heal quickly.
Now that I've recovered from my shingles outbreak and am no longer in a contagious state, I will make an appointment with the chiropractor. Since my shingles rash occurred in an area of my back that felt out of adjustment, I wonder if the spinal alignment itself contributed to the shingles outbreak. My back has been severely mis-aligned in the past, but it never occurred during a time when my immune system was low.
Keeping your spine in proper alignment with visits to your chiropractor as needed may also be another natural method for preventing shingles. After an initial chickenpox infection, the varicella virus travels from the nerve endings near the skin and settles into the nerves along the spinal column where it lays dormant.
Is it possible that a disruption to the spinal column along with a weakened immune system could lead to a shingles outbreak? This post seems to suggest there is a relationship.
I recently got a bad burn on forearm. And about 3 days later I've developed this cluster of little red bumps all around butn that look an awful lot like shingles. Just wondering if my burn could trigger that. Mainly very itchy, but that might be my burn healing. Pain mainly from burn.
It's hard to say. A burn can also develop blisters.
I had a burn from an infrared light, not to severe that went away. Months later I had a outbreak of shingles the main area on that very spot. I am 58 and was under major stress And the virus found the weakest spot I guess. Treating it with ozone oil and sleeping in the hyperbaric chamber that I got from Better Way Health solutions. Both are good for the skin but help also to support the body at a much deeper level. Oxygen to wipe out these pathogen's. The dr. gave me some pills for the early stage. I'm doing this all While juicing feasting a variety of vegetables and apples.

Eagles get back on track with shutout
EAGLE POINT — Eagle Point boys soccer coach Phil Ortega wasn't concerned how his team would respond from its first loss of the season only 24 hours before his squad settled in against Cascade Christian.
Turns out, that was for good reason.
The Eagles, who lost 1-0 on a late goal by Ashland on Tuesday, responded in short time with a solid 3-0 nonleague victory over the Challengers on Wednesday at Eagle Stadium.
"We were first to the ball and we didn't let the loss keep us down," said Ortega, whose team moved to 6-1-1. "We still played very well against Ashland, who scored in the 76th minute, and had just as many shots as they did. Our kids aren't fazed by the loss. We controlled the pace of the game today very well and had a lot of attempts today, just a lot of them hit the post."
Christian Bustinza opened the scoring in the 35th minute off a nice through ball by Emmanuel Angel that he collected at the top of the box and rifled a left-footed shot into the net.
In the 53rd minute, Angel did the honors after taking a through ball up the middle from Luis Fernando Gutierrez and depositing a 9-yard shot. In the 68th minute, a buildup from the back led to a nice assist by Kevin VanDyke for a blistered shot by Ronaldo Rincones.
Goalkeeper Jonel Quintero was forced into making three good saves on dangerous setups by the Challengers.
ST. MARY'S 2, PACIFIC/BANDON 1, SO: At Port Orford, St. Mary's overcame a defensive approach by Pacific/Bandon to earn its second District 5 win in penalty kicks, 4-2.
Pacific/Bandon (5-3, 1-2 Dist. 5) broke a scoreless tie in the 51st minute by converting a penalty kick but St. Mary's (5-2, 3-0) stormed back with an answer when Austin Pena scored on a sensational volley following a direct kick by Jeremy Wu.
Despite holding a considerable advantage in shots on goal through regulation and both 10-minute overtime sessions, St. Mary's was forced into another penalty kick situation. The Crusaders, however, came through again with flying colors by netting each of their first four shots to seal the road win.
CASCADE CHRISTIAN 9, LAKEVIEW 0: Alex Torano tallied four goals and Cheyanne Auchard added three more to help Cascade Christian to the runaway District 5 victory at U.S. Cellular.
Haley Reed got the scoring started in the second minute when she fired a shot that was blocked back toward her by the goalkeeper. On the second effort, Reed's header found the back of the net for the Challengers (6-2, 2-1 Dist. 5).
Jenna Worthington also scored for Cascade, while goalkeeper duties were shared by Jessica Weber and Tiani Alvarez.
ROGUE RIVER 3, ILLINOIS VALLEY 1: At Rogue River, Annie Teehan poured in two goals and added an assist to lead Rogue River to the District 5 victory.
Teehan scored both goals off assists by Sequoia Poston, and assisted on a goal by Kassy Staples that gave the Chieftains (4-1, 2-1 Dist. 5) a 2-0 halftime lead.

Challenges and Benefits of Global Conferences and Summits
The sheer size, expense, and political and logistical complexity of conferences raise a host of issues and problems that come with bringing people from a wide range of perspectives together to address social inequities and development challenges. This is an ambitious goal and, not surprisingly, governments, the U.N., and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have expressed frustration about the process and its outcomes. By their very nature, summits make debates about how to address social inequities available to global audiences and not everyone is going to agree on the best solutions. Reaching joint recommendations for solutions is an important and challenging task.
Despite their limitations, summits and world conferences can give grantees an important opportunity to contribute ideas to governments and international agencies, and to link with counterparts and kindred movements around the globe. By giving leaders and organizations experience with international forums, issues, and media, participating in these meetings can help grantees build crucial skills in advocacy, policy formulation, and communications — skills that are as useful at home as on a world stage.
A permanent anti-racism unit was established at the U.N. as a result of the World Conference Against Racism in 2001. Within three years of the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995, 130 countries had developed national action plans based on the Beijing Platform for Action, and 22 countries had enacted new laws on women's political participation.
Environmental principles established at the 1992 Earth Summit informed state government policies in Brazil's Western Amazon to be more concerned with sustainable forestry practices. In addition, the "programs of action" produced by summits are frequently used by donors and U.N. agencies to guide their spending in developing countries.

In a long-awaited decision, Israel's Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced on Thursday that he intends to officially charge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu with crimes related to corruption.
The attorney general plans to indict the prime minister on bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, charges related to three different corruption cases, the Israeli news outlet Haaretz reported. The indictment is pending the results of a hearing and is not final.
Israeli police recommended three times last year that Netanyahu be indicted on corruption charges — so Mandelblit's decision didn't come as a complete surprise. But it's still pretty bad timing for the prime minister.
Israeli elections are coming up on April 9, and Netanyahu is running for his fourth consecutive term. The attorney general's decision could lead to the conservative Likud party losing its grip on power, and also make it difficult for them to form a coalition after elections.
Similar to a certain US president, Netanyahu has accused investigators of leading a "witch hunt" against him and decried the "liberal" media for conspiring to undermine him.
In a speech on Thursday after the attorney general's announcement, Netanyahu doubled down on these claims, calling himself "the most vilified person in the history of Israeli media," according to the Jerusalem Post. He also vowed to continue serving as prime minister for years to come.
The attorney general's decision comes after years of investigations
Netanyahu is facing charges related to three corruption cases.
In the first, known as Case 1000, Israeli police allege that for years, Netanyahu and his wife Sara received gifts in the form of hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of champagne, jewelry, and cigars from wealthy individuals in the United States and Australia.
In exchange, Netanyahu reportedly tried to extend tax exemption legislation that would have benefited at least one of the men involved. The new charges related to this case are fraud and breach of trust.
In the second case, known as Case 2000, one of Netanyahu's aides recorded lengthy conversations between the prime minister and the head of Yedioth Ahronoth, one of Israel's largest papers, in which they discussed a deal making the paper less critical of Netanyahu.
In return, the prime minister would stop the weekend publication of the paper's commercial rival, Israel Today, which is owned by US casino magnate Sheldon Adelson (which is sometimes known in Israel as the "Bibi paper" for its pro-Netanyahu stance).
The deal apparently was never settled, but the conversations in themselves were damning enough. The charges in this case are breach of trust and fraud.
The third and most recent case against the prime minister is known as Case 4000, and experts agree that this is the most damning.
On December 2, Israeli police accused Netanyahu of trading regulatory favors for positive media coverage of himself and his family. Over a period of five years, the prime minister reportedly intervened in the day-to-day coverage and affairs of Walla, a news website run by the country's telecommunications company, Bezeq.
In return, Netanyahu — in his role as minister of communications, which is one of his titles — allegedly rewarded the company by using his political power to give them more favorable regulations, despite political opposition. The charges related to this case are bribery and breach of trust.
So what's next for Israel's prime minister?
Netanyahu will likely participate in a hearing, where he will have the chance to rebut the accusations. If the indictment becomes official, there could be appeal hearings, and the process could potentially last several months, or even years.
If Netanyahu is reelected — and that's a big if — it's unclear how this process will affect him. There's an ongoing legal debate about whether the prime minister can be forced to resign if he has to sit trial, experts told me.
In the meantime, the prime minister still enjoys a high level of popularity among Israelis. He's proved remarkably resilient to corruption claims that have plagued his administration for years.
But with elections coming up right around the corner, it remains to be seen how the news about the potential indictment could cause the political landscape to shift.

Narragansett Pier
—A Newly Discovered Lecture—
In verifying Oscar Wilde's 1882 lecture tour of North America, it was prudent to begin with the four published itineraries by Mikhail, Ellmann, Page, and Beckson. [1]
Unfortunately, none of these chronologies agrees with any other, and each is either incomplete or wrong in various respects—so it has been necessary to make numerous additions and corrections to dates, locations and lecture titles. [2]
It is a pleasing break to the routine when one discovers something new, such as a previously unrecorded event. Or, rarer still, a previously unknown lecture, as was the case with the redefining of Wilde's final stop of the tour in New York on November 27, 1882.
Now another new lecture has emerged: it is an appearance by Wilde at Narragansett Pier.
Where is Narragansett Pier?—you might ask.
Narragansett is a town in Rhode Island named for an Algonquian American Indian tribe. It occupies a narrow strip of land running along the Western bank of Narragansett Bay—and Narragansett Pier is its seaside village outpost.
I was visiting Newport, which lies within Narragansett Bay on Aquidneck Island, so I decided to stop off at Narragansett Pier before crossing the bridge to Newport, as I had read that Oscar Wilde expressed a liking for the place, and I wanted to see it for myself.
I assumed, naturally enough, that he must have been there, but I was not sure whether he had lectured there. The suspicion had arisen from two brief notes in newspaper society columns: one said he would "entertain the visitors at Narragansett Pier next week", and another (published a week later) confirmed that he lectured there "last night".
Although this evidence is scant it is fairly definitive, especially as these indications were independently made and separated by hundreds of miles. The chronicler would be satisfied with such corroboration; but the researcher needs details.
First, let us place the lecture in the context of Wilde's year in America.
When Oscar concluded his tour of the South at Richmond, VA, he had exhausted both himself and his current itinerary of pre-arranged lectures.
He returned to New York, from where he traveled with Sam Ward up to Newport and, after speaking at the Casino on July 15, he did not lecture again for the remainder of the month.
It was time for a well-earned vacation taking in the Summer watering places of the North-East.
In the next two weeks he visited Long Beach, Long Island from where much intrigue has flowed following a chance meeting during his visit.
He spent three days pleasure yachting with Robert Roosevelt (Theodore's uncle), calling in at various coastal resorts such as Babylon, NY.
Then, after meeting the actress Clara Morris at Riverdale in New York, he returned to the shore at Long Branch, New Jersey, where he spent the night with former president Ulysses S. Grant.
Finally he popped up to Peekskill, NY to visit Henry Ward Beecher, the preacher.
During this period, it appears that Wilde was now, at least partially, free of the arrangements made by his tour manager.
Yet, although Wilde needed the rest, he did not lose sight of the opportunity to earn money. For it appears that while visiting the resorts he, along with his influential host Sam Ward, made arrangements for future lectures at several of the hotels, including at Long Beach, Long Branch, Babylon, (and now Narragansett Pier). This staggered approach, of visit and return, has given rise to some misinformation among previous chroniclers of Wilde's Summer schedule, who tend to have him in the right place but at the wrong time.
The confusion is understandable given the less fervent press coverage of Wilde's movements during the more relaxed Summer season and, a generally waning interest in Oscar. Further, the schedule has remained elusive because the newspaper archives of many of these small towns have not yet been digitized. Some still exist, but only on microfilm (reels) or microfiche (flat sheets).
Enter the Narragansett historical community.
With their help I have been able to establish the details of Wilde's lecture in Narragansett Pier, which took place at the Mathewson Hotel.
Oscar was well-liked. The Narragansett Times described his talk as, "an eloquent, well-sustained plea for art in the household." Afterwards, "he walked leisurely though the rooms of the house, and the ladies indulged themselves in a 'good look' at him."
Apparently the fervor has not died down. All this talk of Wilde has excited local historians, and an 'Oscar Wilde in Narragansett' program is planned for next Summer to mark the anniversary of the lecture.
So the Newport prophesy is maintained—his truth is marching on—and no doubt I'll be going back next year to celebrate.

Los Angeles SEO and Search Engine Marketing
by Mathew Pitt
Los Angeles SEO and SEM –
When it comes to Internet marketing, SEO isn't always the best strategy for every website. Paid advertising through pay per click (PPC) campaigns can be more effective for some websites, while SEO isn't for everyone. An SEM campaign is a search engine ad campaign that includes the design, implementation, and optimization of the ad campaign. Paid versus unpaid search engine optimization (SEO) is a simple way to illustrate the difference between the two.
When it comes to search engine optimization (SEM), prominence is more important than relevance, and web designers should take this into account when building their sites, since the majority of users will only look past the first page of results. Web page quality, analytics programs, and a high conversion rate can all contribute to a successful Internet marketing campaign…. According to the 160-page Search Quality Rating Guidelines published by Google in November 2015, the company's focus has shifted to "usefulness" and mobile local search.
According to StatCounter's analysis of 2.5 million websites in October 2016, 51.3 percent of the pages were accessed via a mobile device, which is a dramatic shift from desktop usage. By encouraging websites to use their Google Search Console, the Mobile-Friendly Test, Google is leveraging the growing popularity of mobile devices to encourage websites to measure up to the search engine results and determine how user-friendly their websites are. They will rank higher if they have a lot of key words in close proximity.
SEO may be able to provide a reasonable payback. However, search engines don't get paid for organic traffic, their algorithms change, and there are no guarantees of continued referrals from their search results pages. A business that relies heavily on search engine traffic can lose a lot of money if the search engines stop sending visitors. It is possible that a website's search engine ranking could be adversely affected by changes in search engine algorithms, resulting in a significant drop in traffic.
Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO at the time, stated that the company made over 500 algorithm changes in 2010 – an average of nearly 1.5 per day. According to business experts, website owners should avoid relying solely on search engine traffic. Web crawler accessibility has become increasingly important for search engine optimization (SEO).

Two Dartmouth police officers were sent to the hospital due to fentanyl exposure during a traffic stop.
According to Dartmouth police, the exposure happened when the officers pulled over a driver on State Road on Saturday. The suspect's wallet and vehicle allegedly contained the potent drug.
The officers were transported to St. Luke's Hospital. They were treated and released.
The driver, Jarad Barbosa, 29, of Fall River, was arrested and charged with two counts of having outstanding warrants, both drug related. Additional charges associated with FEntanyl possession are pending.


Aron Mushaukwa KATIMA MULILO - Six suspected members of the pro-secessionist Caprivi Concerned Group (CCG) who were arrested over the weekend and later charged with sedition, refusing to obey police orders not to gather and incitement of public violence were all released late in the afternoon yesterday after the State withdrew charges against them due to lack of evidence. The six – Edwin Samati, Crispin Kakula, Event Linyando, Aldrin Mahulilo, Braster Kakula and Thomas Mulonga – all walked out of the holding cells as free men less than 48 hours after they were denied bail when they made a brief appearance in the Katima Mulilo Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. Police sources who spoke to New Era revealed the State did not have enough evidence when police arrested the group at Liselo on Sunday, some 10 kilometres outside Katima Mulilo, after they attempted to hold a public meeting. Police believed the agenda of the meeting was to organise and mobilise people who allegedly still harbour ideas to secede Zambezi Region from Namibia. However, it has now come to light that the police could not gather substantial evidence to prove that the group indeed wanted to discuss issues pertaining to secessionism. Even though it is an open secret that the group have been complaining that government has been ignoring their request to have political dialogue with the banned UDP and its ageing leader Mishake Muyongo who fled to Botswana and eventually Denmark, for now they walk free.


It means that Tao doesn't force or interfere with things, but lets them work in their own way, to produce results naturally. Then whatever needs to be done is done.
Practically everything from hairstyles to lifestyles is endorsed as some sort of drug to be taken Now for Instant Relief.
We simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it.
As any old Taoist walking out of the woods can tell you, simple-minded does not necessarily mean stupid.
The Infinite Universal Power is more than just a narrow-minded gatekeeper to a spiritual County Club.
A well-frog cannot imagine the ocean, nor can a summer insect conceive of ice. How then can a scholar understand the Tao? He is restricted by his own learning.
To Buddha, the second figure in the painting, life on earth was bitter, filled with attachments and desires that led to suffering.
The Christmas presents once opened are Not So Much Fun as they were while we were in the process of examining, lifting, shaking, thinking about, and opening them. Three hundred sixty-five days later, we try again and find that the same thing has happened. Each time the goal is reached, it becomes Not So Much Fun, and we're off to reach the next one, then the next one, then the next.
Knowledge and Experience do not necessarily speak the same language.
When you know and respect your Inner Nature, you know where you belong. You also know where you don't belong.
It's not surprising, therefore, that the [Bisy] Backson thinks of progress in terms of fighting and overcoming. One of his little idiosyncrasies, you might say. Of course, real progress involves growing and developing, which involves changing inside, but that's something the inflexible Backson is unwilling to do.
No matter how useful we may be, sometimes it takes us a while to recognize our own value.
Eeyore religion says that the earth isn't worth saving, anyway, and that when it comes to an end, the Faithful will be transported instantly to heaven. No problem. We'd like to see them explain things to Saint Peter at the Gate, when he asks them what they did with the world that God entrusted to them. That might get a bit sticky.
As our planet takes action to cast out its manmade poisons and heal its man-caused wounds, many human inhabitants will no doubt give way to fear. Many will cling to seemingly powerful we're-God's-chosen-people religions, hoping that by so doing they will be saved from the wrath of a Vengeful God (not recognizing that the approaching "vengeance" will in reality be man's own actions coming back at him - and not recognizing that the Infinite Universal Power is far more than the narrow-minded gatekeeper of an exclusive Spiritual Country Club).
In the Age of Perfect Virtue, men lived among the animals and birds as members of one large family. There were no distinctions between superior and inferior to separate one man or species from another. All retained their natural Virtue and lived in a state of pure simplicity.
Carefully observe the natural laws in operation in the world around you, and live by them. From following them, you will learn the morality of modesty, moderation, compassion, and consideration (not just one society's rules and regulations), the wisdom of seeing things as they are (not of merely collecting "facts" about them), and the happiness of being in harmony with the Way (which has nothing to do with self-righteous "spiritual" obsessions and fanaticism). And you will live lightly, spontaneously, and effortlessly.
But down through the centuries, man has developed a mind that separates him from the world of reality, the world of natural laws. This mind tries too hard, wears itself out, and ends up weak and sloppy. Such a mind, even if of high intelligence, is inefficient. It drives down the street in a fast-moving car and thinks its at the store, going over a grocery list. Then it wonders why accidents occur.
The urge to grow and develop, present in all forms of life, becomes perverted in the Bisy Backson's mind into a constant struggle to change everything (the Bulldozer Backson) and everyone (the Bigoted Backson) else but himself, and interfere with things he has no business interfering with, including practically every form of life on earth.
To know the way, we go the way, we do the way. The way we do, the things we do, it's all there in front of you. But if you try too hard to see it, you'll only become confused. I am me and you are you. As you can see; but when you do the things that you can do, you will find the way. The way will follow you.
Sourness and bitterness come from the interfering and unappreciative mind. Life itself, when understood and utilized for what it is, is sweet. That is the message of The Vinegar Tasters.
In the story of Ugly Duckling, when did the Ugly Duckling stop feeling Ugly? When he realized that he was a Swan. Each of us has something Special, a swan of some sort, hidden inside somewhere. But until we recognize that it's there, what can we do but splash around, treading water? The Wise are Who They Are. They work with what they've got and do what they can do.
The play-it-safe pessimists of the world never accomplish much of anything, because they don't look clearly and objectively at situations, they don't recognize or believe in their own abilities to overcome even the smallest amount of risk.
Unfortunately complaining is one thing Eeyores are not afraid to do. They grudgingly carry their thimbles to the Fountain of Life, then mumble and grumble that they weren't given enough.
Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully. "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever." "And he has Brain." "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain." There was a long silence. "I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never understands anything.
There are things about ourselves that we need to get rid of; there are things we need to change. But at the same time, we do not need to be too desperate, too ruthless, too combative. Along the way to usefulness and happiness, many of those things will change themselves, and the others can be worked on as we go. The first thing we need to do is recognize and trust our own Inner Nature, and not lose sight of it.
A way of life that keeps saying 'Around the next corner, above the next step,' works against the natural order of things and makes it so difficult to be happy and good.
The major lesson Tiggers need to learn is that if they don't control their impulses, their impulses will control them. No matter how much they do, Tiggers are never satisfied because they don't know the feeling of accomplishment that eventually comes when one persistently applies one's will to the attaining of non-immediately-reachable goals.
Within each of us there is an Owl, a Rabbit, and Eeyore, and a Pooh. For too long, we have chosen the way of Owl and Rabbit. Now, like Eeyore, we complain about the results. But that accomplishes nothing. If we are smart, we will choose the way of Pooh. As if from far away, it calls us with the voice of a child's mind. It may be hard to hear at times, but it is important just the same, because without it, we will never find our way through the forest.
"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?" "What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet . Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said. "What's that?" the Unbeliever asked. "Wisdom from the Western Taoist,"I said. "It sounds like something from Winnie-the-Pooh ," he said. "It is," I said. "That's not about Taoism," he said. "Oh, yes it is," I said."
"What's that?" the Unbeliever asked. "Wisdom from the Western Taoist,"I said. "It sounds like something from Winnie-the-Pooh ," he said. "It is," I said. "That's not about Taoism," he said. "Oh, yes it is," I said."
From the state of the Uncarved Block comes the ability to enjoy the simple and the quiet, the natural and the plain. Along with that comes the ability to do things spontaneously and have them work, odd as that may appear to others at times. As Piglet put it in Winnie-the-Pooh, "Pooh hasn't much Brain, but he never comes to any harm. He does silly things and they turn out right."
There was a man that hated his footprints and his shadow, so one day he thought that if he ran fast enough, his footprints and shadow would not be able to follow him and then he never ever had to look at them again. He ran and he ran as fast as he could, but the shadow and the footprints had no problems keeping up to him. And he ran even faster and all of a sudden he fell dead to the ground. But if he been standing still there hadn't been any footprints and if he had been resting under a tree his shadow had been swallowed of the trees shadow.
Through working in harmony with life's circumstances, Taoist understanding changes what others may percieve as negative into something positive.
And when you try too hard, it doesn't work. Try grabbing something quickly and precisely with a tensed-up arm; then relax and try it again. Try doing something with a tense mind. The surest way to become Tense, Awkward, and Confused is to develop a mind that tries too hard-one that thinks too much.
Phonographic. It goes around and around. Sometimes it gets stuck. That's why I remember things so well.
A saying from the area of Chinese medicine would be appropriate to mention here: "One disease, long life; no disease, short life." In other words, those who know what's wrong with them and take care of themselves accordingly will tend to live a lot longer than those who consider themselves perfectly happy and neglect their weakness. So, in that sense at least, a Weakness of some sort can do you a big favor, if you acknowledge that it's there.
When we give up our images of self-importance and our ideas of what should be, we can help things become what they need to be.
Treat gain and loss the same.' Don't be Intimidated. Don't make a Big Deal of anything - just accept things as they come to you.
By the time it came to the edge of the Forest, the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved slowly. For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.
We don't need to shift our responsibilities onto the shoulders of some deified Spiritual Superman, or sit around and wait for Fate to come knocking at the door. We simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it. When we do that, and stop imitating others and competing against them, things begin to work for us.
You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are.
Things just happen in the right way, at the right time. At least when you let them, when you work with circumstances instead of saying, 'This isn't supposed to be happening this way,' and trying harder to make it happen some other way.
How can you get very far, If you don't know who you are? How can you do what you ought, If you don't know what you've got? And if you don't know which to do Of all the things in front of you, Then what you'll have when you are through Is just a mess without a clue Of all the best that can come true If you know What and Which and Who.
Reality is what one makes it. And the more negative reality one nurtures and creates, the more of it one has.
Like silence after noise, or cool, clear water on a hot, stuffy day, Emptiness cleans out the messy mind and charges up the batteries of spiritual energy. Many people are afraid of Emptiness, however, because it reminds them of Loneliness.
Inner Nature, when relied on, cannot be fooled. But many people do not look at it or listen to it, and consequently do not understand themselves very much. Having little understanding of themselves, they have little respect for themselves, and are therefore easily influenced by others.
If people were superior to animals, they'd take good care of them," said Pooh.
Thousands of years ago, man lived in harmony with the rest of the natural world. Through what we would today call Telepathy, he communicated with animals, plants, and other forms of life-none of which he considered "beneath" himself, only different, with different jobs to perform. He worked side by side with earth angels and nature spirits, with whom he shared responsibility for taking care of the world.
Modern man's difficulties, dangerous beliefs and feelings of loneliness, spiritual emptiness,and personal weakness are caused by his illusions about, and separation from, the natural world.
The surest way to become Tense, Awkward, and Confused is to develop a mind that tries too hard - one that thinks too much.
A clever mind is not a heart. Knowledge doesn't really care, wisdom does.
But isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't? It seems fairly obvious to some of us that a lot of scholars need to go outside and sniff around - walk through the grass, talk to the animals. That sort of thing.
Do you really want to be happy? You can begin by being appreciative of who you are and what you've got.
That was when I began to get an idea: to write a book that explained the principles of Taoism through Winnie-the-Pooh, and explained Winnie-the-Pooh through the principles of Taoism.
According to Lao-tse, the more man interfered with the natural balance produced and governed by the universal laws, the further away the harmony retreated into the distance.

The Gans Creek Recreation Area is a 320-acre public park in Columbia, Missouri, United States. Its name derives from Gans Creek, which flows through the property. It borders the Rock Bridge Memorial State Park on its western edge. The park is owned by the City of Columbia and operated by the Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation.

History
The Gans Creek Recreation Area was acquired by the City of Columbia on September 14, 2007 for $8 million. It was named on July 21, 2008. The area purchased was forest and former pasture land, including a home. The limestone bedrock has formed karst topography, most notably Elbow Cave.

On October 7, 2013, the city council of Columbia approved the development of 50-acres to build a park on the property. On May 3, 2010 the city council approved a plan to build seven multipurpose fields, athletic fields for baseball and softball, a dog park, and a playground, along with other amenities.  By 2016, only five multipurpose fields had been constructed.  Talks of building a cross country complex within Columbia occurred in the 2000s and the Gans Creek Recreation Area was selected as the site. Construction of the complex began in 2018.

Activities

Cross country
The Gans Creek Recreation Area holds the Gans Creek Cross Country Course. It features a 500-meter straightaway at the start and two different sized loops, one 2 km and the other 3 km. The University of Missouri uses the track as its home cross country course.

Championships
The Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA), chose to move its cross country state championship meet to Gans Creek beginning in 2019. The high school state course had previously been located at Oak Hills Golf Center, in Jefferson City, since 1982.

The course will host the 2025 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships.

Other
Gans Creek Recreation Area has five multipurpose fields that can be used for soccer, lacrosse, or ultimate frisbee.

Dear Santa, Hope you are well and happy. It's me, the Donald.
First off, I know I owe you a big apology for failing so miserably to achieve even a single one of the many promises I made to you last year.
As you know, however, I'm incapable of apologizing in public, so let's keep my apology just between the two of us.
Talking about last year, you may recall I promised you a bunch of stuff, starting with the promise that I'd carefully read and analyze each and every one of my defense briefing memos. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd get to the bottom of the Russia scandal. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd only select the most honest and competent people to work with me. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd work to strengthen the NATO alliance. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd cooperate fully with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd successfully campaign for congressional Republicans so that they would hold on to their majority in the House of Representatives. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd make sure any environmental policies my administration proposed would result in making both our air and our water more pristine. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd make public all my tax returns. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd make sure that our nation was seen by the world as a welcoming place for all. I didn't.
I promised you that I'd bring together all the different factions dividing our country in a way that would allow all fair minded people to conclude that America was truly entering into its second documented Era of Good Feelings. I didn't.
Finally, I promised you back then that I'd do far more listening, and far, far less tweeting in 2018. I didn't.
Let's see, that's 0-for-12. Not great, huh?
swell new super-long ties or swell new Make America Great Again hats or even a swell slice of five-layer chocolate cake with two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top from Mar-a-Lago.
No, instead of all that good stuff, I fear you're only going to leave only new subpoenas under my tree for Christmas.
Subpoenas from the special prosecutor's office or from the Southern District of New York or from the incoming Congress or from dozens of attorneys representing dozens of individuals, groups, and organizations from all across the nation.
And, Santa, short of getting nothing this year, more subpoenas is what I want least from you!
But, Santa, if you give me another chance, I can and will do better this year.
This year, I promise not to ever imply again that the cast of Saturday Night Live are the real colluders.
I promise not to shut down the government over a border wall that nobody wants.
I promise that I won't ever say again that the "catch and kill" National Enquirer ever deserved a Pulitzer Prize.
I promise not to say that it was all Jeff Sessions fault more than a single time each day.
I promise I will joyfully cooperate on each and every one of the 17 independent investigations into my finances, my family and my 2016 presidential campaign.
I promise to prevent Republicans in the Senate from gutting Medicare, Medicare or Social Security.
I promise to support any decision the independent Fed board puts on the table.
Finally, I promise to finally release my tax returns to prove once and for all that I've been hiding nothing. (I know I also promised this last year, but this year I really mean it.) Really!
In return for all this, instead of those dreaded, unwanted subpoenas, I'd like you on Christmas to bring me a dozen new Make America Great Again hats; a dozen new super-long ties; a dozen new 4XL golfing shirts; and a dozen pieces of five-layer chocolate cake, each with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, from Mar-a-Lago.

Wonder Woman: Patty Jenkins already has two new movies planned
By Yisha Joshi
Modified date: 05/26/2020
Patty Jenkins already has two new Wonder Woman movies planned
Are you a Wonder Woman fan?
Here is great news for you..
Patty Jenkins has plans for the Wonder Woman sequel and threequel. It is one of the most loved DCEU films till date. It's sequel was going to be released in the summer which was one of the highest anticipated movies of 2020.
Patty Jenkins said that she's not going to nail down a fresh thought about it until it comes out because she wants to give myself a palette cleanser and be fresh of mind. Further she adds that there's an arc that she has in mind for the first movie and then the second movie and then the Amazon movie and then the third movie.
So it seems that Patty Jenkins has planned everything. This is very great news for all the fans.
She also said that she is not going to direct it which is not going to be easy for her but Geoff John's and she came up with the story and they sold the pitch. But they will produce it for sure but not direct it. Geoff John's is the Wonder Woman 1984 co-writer and former DC Entertainment President and Chief Creative Officer.
Patty Jenkins and Geoff John have already set the whole story for the movie.
She has already made 2 Wonder Woman films but she doesn't want to direct the third one but she is definitely a part of the upcoming Wonder Woman films.
So predicting from what Patty Jenkins says one thing is sure that the Super Women movies are in planned and will come soon. But as we know the current status of Pandemic and Crisis due to the outbreak of COVID-19 everything is affected. And everyone is under lockdowns so we can expect a delay in the release.

When I walked into Blue Moon Specialty Foods Market, Deli and Bakery at the corner of Church and Broad in Spartanburg, I immediately felt at home.
One of the best ways for people to come together is over a good meal.
When I walked into Blue Moon Specialty Foods Market, Deli and Bakery at the corner of Church and Broad in Spartanburg, I immediately felt at home. Owners Chris "Wishbone" Walker and his daughter Molly Cashman welcomed guests to their new location and knew many of the guests by name.
The restaurant and market has quickly become a gathering spot for locals to get a bite for breakfast or lunch. The atmosphere invites community with large center tables meant to be shared by multiple groups of people and a beautiful bar crafted from fallen trees from the Francis Marion forest. Throughout the restaurant, photos of Walker's family and his garden show how food and family are enmeshed.
After graduation from college, Walker worked in large restaurants throughout the country, before meeting his wife Mary Pat and establishing roots in Spartanburg. He left food service to pursue another career, but his passion for food remained. He developed spices and sauces from food grown in his own garden.
When the Farmer's Market opened in Spartanburg, Walker decided to sell his products. They were an immediate hit in the community. Walker added more products and the booth became so successful that he was able to expand into his own store. The business has grown again, and now includes a grab and go market, bakery and deli.
While Blue Moon is an excellent place for breakfast and lunch, the market is also a great place to pick up a homemade meal. They have a wide variety of casseroles, quiches, side dishes, salads and desserts that you can take home for dinner or bring to a friend. I love their quiches and tomato pie, and they are famous for their pimento cheese and chicken salad.
While you are there, pick up a few spices and sauces for yourself. The Yep! Original Seasoning adds flavor to just about anything and the Yep! Paprikash is fantastic. In addition to Blue Moon products, the market has expanded to include local favorites such as Dottie's Toffees, wine sticks from The Sweetery, pickles from That Pickle Lady and coffee from Little River Roasters.
Blue Moon Market is open 7:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Mondays-Fridays and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. Breakfast is served 7:30 a.m.-10 a.m. Mondays-Fridays. Lunch is 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Mondays-Fridays.
