Generalul-locotenent este un grad de ofițer, superior generalului-maior și inferior generalului. El se individualizează prin aplicarea a trei stele pe epoleții uniformei militare.

În România, prin Legea nr.14 din 28 decembrie 1972 privind organizarea apărării naționale a Republicii Socialiste România (art. 34), publicată în Buletinul Oficial nr. 160/29 decembrie 1972, al treilea grad din clasa generali și amirali a primit numele de general-colonel, respectiv de amiral pentru marina militară . În articolul 62, s-a stabilit că pentru acest grad nu există o limită de vârstă în grad până la care cadrele permanente ale forțelor armate pot fi menținute în activitate.

Prin Legea nr. 80 din 11 iulie 1995 privind statutul cadrelor militare , în Forțele armate ale României, gradul de general-colonel a fost înlocuit cu gradele de:
general de corp de armată în Trupele de uscat,
general comandor în Aviația militară,
viceamiral-comandor, în Marina militară

Limita maximă de vârstă până la care militarii cu acest grad pot fi menținuți în activitate, starea lor de sănătate permițându-le rezolvarea în foarte bune condiții a atribuțiilor ce le revin, a fost stabilită la 64 ani.

Prin OUG nr. 4/26 februarie 2004 pentru modificarea Legii nr. 80/1995 privind Statutul cadrelor militare, în scopul realizării compatibilității cu structurile militare similare aparținând statelor membre NATO , aceste grade au fost denumite general-locotenent - cu trei stele în forțele terestre și cele aeriene, respectiv viceamiral - cu trei stele în marină.

Thaddeus Bumgardner is seated with his two attorneys during the trial.
POMEROY – A jury handed down a not guilty verdict Wednesday in the case against a Meigs County man who had been charged with felonious assault and endangering children.
Thaddeus Bumgardner, 32, of Middleport, was acquitted of the charges after a six-day trial that began June 28 —more than two years after the alleged incident. The trial endured delays due to the Fourth of July holiday and a witness under a doctor's care, who was not allowed in court to testify until July 5.
Meigs County sheriff's deputies first began the investigation in June 2014 when Bumgardner's 5-month-old son was flown to Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington, W.Va., "due to severe bruising and injuries consistent with abuse," a news release from the sheriff's office stated.
According to earlier reports, a search was conducted on Bumgardner's home after the child was taken to the hospital.
"No one in the house reported the injuries," Sheriff Keith Wood said.
Bumgardner was arraigned in Meigs County Court on June 25, 2014, for alleged felonious assault and was granted release on his own recognizance, against the recommendation of the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney's office.
After the investigation into the incident was completed, Bumgardner was indicted in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on July 24, 2014, on one count of felonious assault and two counts of endangering children. The assault charge and one of the endangering children charges are second-degree felonies. The other endangering charge is a third-degree felony.
Bond was set at $500,000 with 10 percent allowed; he posted bond the following day and was released.
The child, now 2, survived; however, he suffers from serious health conditions, including an almost complete loss of vision, seizures and delayed development, according to the Meigs County Victims Assistance's Office.
The prosecutor presented photographic and expert testimony of the child's trauma, as well of a timeline of persons involved in the child's care when the incident occurred.
The defense countered there was not enough evidence to prove the defendant was responsible for the injuries and that no witnesses to the infliction of the injuries were presented.
Wednesday's verdict clears Bumgardner on all charges.

Picasso Reinterpreted
A Harvard scholar presents the "untold origins of a modern masterpiece."
It's hard to escape San Francisco, where I grew up, without a car. A couple of commuter trains snake into the suburbs, but once you break past the edge of the urban sprawl you can pretty much count on stepping off the train beside a 7-Eleven about three miles away from the nearest restaurant, which is itself three miles from anything else. California is a big state, and knows it.
And unfortunately I don't drive. I tried, once, before coming to college, but I ended up losing interest before making it out of the parking lot. It was a failing proposition: drivers have to pay attention to all sorts of things that do not intrigue me, like whether or not the car has gasoline in it. When I stare out the windshield, I don't like to look at the road. Public transportation spoiled me early on; in high school, when I took the bus home every day, I got into the habit of eavesdropping on other passengers' conversations and gazing out the window. I used to keep track of the way street signs lay afternoon shadows across the sidewalk. Often, it was the only time I could find to think seriously.
I came to Cambridge with the naïve notion that Harvard would give me lots of time to think. I also wanted to watch the months pass in New England -- fiery leaves, fiery suns setting into the forest instead of the sea, snow, snow, snow, sleet. The place enchanted me. In windy fall I watched acorns fall like hail in the Yard; in January I took long walks through the snow until my ears stung; in a carrel on the fifth floor of Widener that first spring I stared at trees blooming below in the Houghton-Lamont courtyard. When summer closed in with a humid stew of thunderstorms and I found myself with an opportunity to spend the warm months on campus, I took it. I hoped to be able to do over the summer what I hadn't managed over the course of the year: I wanted to explore Greater Boston.
I had first realized that such a thing could be done during Harvard's freshman orientation, when I was required to sign up for a daytrip excursion off campus under the aegis of the College's Through the Gates program. The outing I'd picked, an antiquarian-book tour of Boston, was led by someone who ran a small rare-book shop in the Square, right above the offices of the Car Talk radio show. As he led my tour group out of the musty interior of a rare-book shop near Boston Common, he handed us all discount coupons for a local Chinese restaurant. At the end of the tour, I thought: I should do more of this.
I did return to the bookshop by the Common during a weekend over the summer and ended up dragging a paper bag full of hardback books through Back Bay and into Cambridge. (To take the T would have been too simple and no fun.) Over the next couple of weekends I explored the rest of Boston on foot, too, walking from the Common to the North End to the waterfront, stopping for sandwiches or cold drinks at unpredictable intervals along the way. Then, about halfway through the summer, I discovered the commuter rail.
The commuter rail runs out of both ends of Boston -- from North Station and South Station -- and reaches into all of eastern Massachusetts like two outstretched hands mirroring each other, each finger a railroad line. The train cars are purple and they have large windows often fogged with abrasions. Conductors pacing the aisles announce every stop with a lilting shout. They have blue uniforms, and some even have change dispensers on their belts, right beside the ticket punch. Coming from California, where it's almost impossible to find a train to ride, let alone a uniformed conductor, the commuter rail seemed the closest to Norman Rockwell I could ever hope to get.
I wasn't a commuter, but that summer I acted as though I were. I always rode back and forth on the same line, which wound up the coast to the craggy seaside towns of Rockport and Newburyport. I never took a southbound train; I found myself strangely drawn to this north-of-Boston route, heading away from Cape Cod and into the witchy forests and underpopulated beaches of the Cheeveresque suburbs, where people thought much and said little and drove fast toward the New Hampshire horizon in snow-rusted cars. That is how I imagined it, wry and magical.
The commuter rail is ticketed such that you often have more than one choice about where, exactly, you are supposed to get off when you get on, and I took advantage of this feature. I would show up at North Station not knowing when the next train left, and would often board it debating between two possible destinations. I'd get off at a station, which usually consisted of an overhang attended by a Dunkin' Donuts and several sallow old men in hunting hats. People would scatter, then, and I'd follow whatever seemed to be the largest group in the hope of reaching the town's center. Town centers usually have tourist offices, and tourist offices, I reasoned, usually have maps. And so forth. Soon I was riding the commuter rail nearly every weekend and had the operation down to a science of inexactitude. At first I favored towns near the end of the line, which were stark and rocky, but then, on a whim, I started exploring closer to Cambridge. The desk in my summer room began accumulating a pile of crumpled tourist brochures.
The appeal of my daytrips, of course, was that they were completely improvised. By taking care not to plan a detail, I could ensure they would be adventures; but by sticking to a route that several hundred commuters traveled each day, I could be certain they wouldn't offer too much adventure. Soon the summer ended, though, and I gave up on my excursions after one failed try that fall: an afternoon spent sipping coffee and reading Freud in a café in Concord, where it was raining. When I found that I'd be staying in Boston the next summer, however, I got myself a commuter rail timetable.
There's a thrill in walking into a town you know nothing about with a good book and spending a couple of hours looking for the perfect place to read it, like an animal choosing its roost for the night. I have a penchant for bodies of water. In Ipswich, a beach town on an inlet about an hour north of Boston, I sat on a bench beside a river whose name I cannot remember and listened to the water, red and silty from industrial iron, washing over a dam. It was the hottest, most humid part of summer and in the leafy shade it smelled like mulch, as if the seventeenth-century cottages spread all over town were starting to decay into the surrounding hills. In Rockport I read on a ledge facing the ocean until it was too dark to see words and waves alike. In Manchester-by-the-Sea -- which I visited because you can't really pass up a town called Manchester-by-the-Sea -- I spent about three hours searching for anywhere to read: I could find exactly three benches in town, and they were all occupied. After about an hour spent crouching on the grass (which was wet, wet!), I stormed off, only to be told later that I'd missed a local bookstore specializing in first editions. That seemed enough to redeem this otherwise pretty unaccommodating, chairless place (maybe), and might even prove a reason to return. Getting to know towns is a lot like getting to know people.
One of the delights of not planning is that things often don't work out quite right. During my afternoon in Ipswich I decided to visit Crane Beach, which I'd seen championed as one of the most beautiful beaches in New England. It was beyond downtown Ipswich at the end of a long road and, by the scale on my map, seemed to be an hour's walk away. I passed the last of a few homes set into the woods and followed the road across a broad marsh lying between town and the coast. The asphalt wound in tight bends, and SUVs toting fishing poles and inner tubes were taking the curves pretty aggressively. It was at this point that I realized the road no longer had anything that could even remotely be considered a sidewalk. In fact, there wasn't especially space for anything except the massive cars. Wondering how quick my reflexes would be in front of a Jeep whipping around the next curve -- and wondering how many ticks were in high brush that lined the road -- I elected to turn around.
Getting lost, of course, is the great danger of an unplanned excursion. Getting lost is doubly embarrassing if other people are there to see it -- and that's the only time it happens to me. I've been trying for some time to articulate to friends what it is about the commuter rail that I find so enticing. Those who grew up in Boston always seem pretty nonchalant. But last intersession I was able to convince a small group of Eastern European friends -- who, for one reason or another, really wanted to go to the beach in winter -- to follow me to Salem. (They had been planning to visit Providence until they looked at a map and realized that Rhode Island really wasn't an island at all.)
We left with the ostensible goal of seeing the art museum there, but the museum was closed. Chagrined, I proposed a walk instead. I tried to lead them along the same route I had explored over the summer, along the water and up to the beach they so wanted to see, which in Salem is studded with a dramatic finger of land extending far into the bay. But after a while things stopped looking familiar, and after that they started looking like the things we had seen five minutes earlier. "I'm sure it's this way," I told them, making a deft gesture that could be interpreted to indicate any of three directions. "I think I recognize that white colonial house over there." A truly bracing wind was rising as I finally agreed to ask a woman passing on the sidewalk for directions. "We're trying to get to the waterfront," I explained.
"The waterfront. How do we get to the water?"
The woman shook her head slowly. "I've lived here all my life, and I don't know the answer to that question," she said, and shuffled on. I looked around in desperation. The long chimneys of the Salem power plant loomed over the maze of dead-end streets surrounding us. One of my friends turned to me. He said, "I think we're not in Cambridge any more."
We weren't in Cambridge any more, which is what made the expedition so rewarding. In the years since I went on the rare-book orientation tour, Harvard has diffused into my life like dye into a glass of water. I've learned to use the University simultaneously as a home, a school, a stage, an umbrella, and a punching bag. Anything so pervasive is a healthy thing to escape every once in while -- for an afternoon, at least. And part of the fun of escape is going somewhere you don't know so well, maybe even somewhere you've never been before.
I don't know any other students who delight in the commuter rail quite as I do, but many make a point of getting away when they can. Some go hiking in New Hampshire; others take a weekend during the year to ski in Vermont. With others I've gone driving (as a passenger) in the warm months. You can stop at a café in some small New England town for sandwiches and eat them at a table beside a mother and her two small children, one of whom is studying your food intently with his binoculars. You have little chance of running into your teaching fellow, and perhaps there is something to be said for that.
For me, the train is this escape. Staring out the dirty window as the summer foliage flies by, thinking about how different it is from the winter when you can see every detail of the sunset through the bare branches, thinking about all sorts of other things I would never have time to think about at school: this makes me happy. Riding home after an afternoon spent exploring a town I might not have heard of the previous day, I strain to see the first of the planets appear in the evening sky. For a few minutes, the New England night is still light enough to compete with the fluorescent lamps in the train car.
Then it is dark.

As the new series of Big Brother begins, meet Imran and Sukhvinder Javeed. Take a first look at the couple and what they could bring to the famous house!
"Life is an amazing gift and if you aren't on TV then who are you?"
It's that time again when we tune into the famous house of Big Brother and its housemate's unpredictable antics. As a new series kicks off on 6th June 2017, the show has released the first glimpse of six contestants.
Among the fresh-faced housemates includes a married couple from Leeds, named Imran and Sukhvinder Javeed.
Aged 39 and 38 respectively, the two met as children when they were both eight years old. Both raised in strict religious families, they went on to develop a relationship.
However, it was disapproved as Imran's family are Muslim and Sukvinder's family are Sikh.
Despite complications, the two hid their relationship and eventually married in secret when aged 17. The two have remained married ever since and gone on to have children. They also work as entrepreneurs.
They own Snap Imported Ltd, which make breastfeeding and bottle feeding aids.
Defying the expectations of their families, Imran and Sukhvinder Javeed show a modern reflection of British-Asians today. And this harks back to why they want to appear on Big Brother.
Determined to show the "modern Muslim", Imran said: "I want to show my children how to be a good person.
The two will enter the house as separate housemates.
Other housemates include a pair of sisters, named Hannah and Deborah Agboola. Aged 23 and 25 respectively, the London girls aim to bring attitude and beauty into the house.
28-year-old Kayleigh Morris will also enter, after previously featuring on Ex On The Beach. Joining them will also be 28-year-old Lotan Cross, a member of The Dreamboys.
This series will see a return of Emma Willis hosting the reality show. Rylan Clark-Neal will also present its spin-off, Big Brother's Bit on the Side.
In addition, Big Brother has also given fans a first look at the new house.
As expected, it has undergone a dramatic change from its previous appearance. Officially titled as "The United Kingdom of Big Brother", designers have been inspired by all things British.
With a tea room and beauty parlour, the house contains floral patterns and soft colours, making it look very busy.
Another interesting feature shown by the images include two bedrooms. While one looks immaculate, the other looks considerably shabby and messy.
Perhaps this will be part of the first task for the housemates?
After the sneak peek, fans will wait eagerly for the launch of Big Brother's new series. Especially the introduction of all its new housemates. The addition of Imran and Sukhvinder Javeed will hold a refreshing sight for many.
In the previous series, many criticised the selection of housemates, as some already had a claim to fame such as Lateysha Grace and Alex Cannon.
While some of these "new" faces have already appeared on our screens before, many will surely welcome Imran and Sukhvinder Javeed.
Make sure you don't miss their arrival to the Big Brother house, as the new series starts 6th June 2017 at 8.30pm on Channel 5.

One major difference in this new line-up is the addition of Android.

"I really appreciate Cressida's point of view on Santa Muerte and I like the way she writes about our spirituality. I hope everyone will like this book whose content derives from the writer's lived experiences sharing so much with our people and learning of our rich traditions. I wish Cressida Stone every success." —Arely Vázquez, leader of Santa Muerte, Queens, New York
"I very rarely endorse non-academic books but this grimoire by Cressida Stone is hands down the very best and most complete of the spiritual guides on devotion to Santa Muerte, the fastest growing new religious movement in the West. Secrets of Santa Muerte is grounded in the prayers, rituals, and spells developed in Mexico where Holy Death originated. Unlike so many other grimoires and even some academic texts, this devotional road map features the Lady of the Shadows in every single one of her cloaks of many colors - red for love and lust, gold for prosperity and abundance, and even relates how Mexican devotees combine colors for added potency. Penned in captivating prose that engages the reader on every page, Stone's grimoire belongs on the top shelf of both neophytes and seasoned devotees seeking to develop their relationship with the Bone Mother." —Dr. R. Andrew Chesnut, author of Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint
"I am pleased to endorse the publication of The Secrets of Santa Muerte: A Guide to the Prayers, Spells, Rituals, and Hexes by Cressida Stone. This publication is a well-written book about a belief system that is found in Mexico, as well as many parts of the U.S. The history, prayers, rituals, etc. of la Santa Muerte are well-written and offers information that many will enjoy." —Dr. Eliseo Torres, Professor of Traditional Medicine courses at the University of New Mexico
"Cressida Stone is an incredible writer who is very intelligent and knows a lot about Santa Muerte; she goes into the fine details very well. I admire her as a woman and as a writer who is dedicated to explaining with great clarity and without hiding anything, the themes pertaining to Santa Muerte. Her words transmit light, darkness, healing, power, happiness and gratitude." —Soraya Arredondo Hernandez, bruja, curandera. founder, and leaderof Templo Altar Angel de Alas Negras (Angel of Black Wings Temple Altar), Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico
"I confirm and attest that Cressida Stone has deep knowledge of the spirituality of Santa Muerte. She has traveled across Mexico where the roots of devotion to the Saint of Death truly originate. She honors our faith and shares the teachings of Santa Muerte clearly, aiding people to respectfully venerate and learn correctly about Santisima Muerte. This is because Cressida has been to those special places where devotion to Holy Death is deep and true." —Yuri Mendez, Bruja of the Three Virtues and Spiritual Guide of Santa Muerte, leader of the Templo y Recinto de Sanación Dulce Madre, Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico
"Secrets of Santa Muerte offers a positive look at a culture -- one that many outsiders do not understand or know about, yet feel a great attraction toward. In this culture, magic is powerful, raw and real, just like Santa Muerte. This book reveals a series of mysteries, secrets, traditions, beliefs, magic, and spells deeply linked to this ideological current. We know that, just as light is born in darkness, death gives way to life. Living is arriving; dying is returning; and returning is continuing. This is the eternal lesson of the Santa Muerte." —Martha Ileana Moran Gonzalez, founder and director of WITCHMART, high priestess and proud bruja
"Secrets of Santa Muerte is the most complete workbook I have found in English on the subject. After reading it, you will be well equipped to navigate the botanica for supplies, and have a solid understanding of how to use those supplies in your spells and witchcraft. Stone goes beyond the well-known color systems and reveals the secrets of lesser-known powders, oils, and candles and how they are used. Anyone interested in the fastest growing religious movement in the world should have this book on their shelf." —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits
"Cressida Stone's Secrets of Santa Muerte is the Santa Muerte book we've all been waiting for: a brave, blood and guts master class in how best to bond with the Queen of Death. Part personal journey and part history, it focuses mainly on how to work with the Bony Lady. If you are curious about Santa Muerte or want to deepen your devotion to her, then you need this book." —Aliza Einhorn, author of The Little Book of Saturn and A Mystical Practical Guide to Magic: Instructions for Seekers, Witches, & Other Spiritual Misfits
"A thorough and illuminating introduction to Santa Muerte, the 'Mexican female folk saint of death.' Stone covers the practices and concepts central to the Santa Muerte folk faith and asserts that the figure has the 'key to all life and creation" with the power to 'infuse life and luck into all your creations.' The author describes how to connect with Santa Muerte by setting up an altar that features a statue of her, a glass of water, incense, liquor, flowers, and such foods as bread, fruit, or candy to represent the delights of the world. Drawing from Mexican prayer books and the wisdom of curanderos (Mexican folk healers), Stone shares prayers for protection and thanks, as well as spells for healing, love, and warding off one's enemies. An invaluable primer [that] is nearly one to die for." —Publishers Weekly
"VERDICT Readers of occult practices, Mexican culture, and goddess studies will find this title to be a comprehensive and respectful guide to all aspects of the folk saint." —Library Journal

Hahn and Clason join Hall
Two former area stars are part of the 12-person 2016 Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame induction class.
Bill Hahn, of Michigan City Elston (1959 grad) and Henry "Hank'' Clason, of Goshen (1938), join a class that includes Damon Bailey (Bedford North Lawrence, 1990) and Calbert Cheaney (Evansville Harrison, 1989).
Hahn starred at Elston and Drake University. A two-year starter under Hall of Fame coach Doug Adams on teams that finished 41-10, Hahn averaged 15 points and six assists his senior year. A three-year starter at Drake included a 19-7 record his sophomore year that marked the best season in program history. He was named to Drake's 1960s all-decade team.
He won 246 games, including five sectionals and one regional, as a high school head coach, leading Michigan City Rogers from 1971-1982. He also coached at Eastern Greene, Mississinewa and Muncie South high schools and served five seasons as an assistant coach at Ball State University. Hahn is retired and living in Muncie.
The late Henry "Hank" Clason was a standout at Goshen and Northwestern University. He was Goshen's leading scorer for three seasons, earning all-conference and all-county honors each year. He led the NIHSC in scoring as a junior and was named captain of the all-county team as a senior. A three-year letterman at Northwestern, he led the team in scoring and was named All-Big Ten as a junior and captained the Wildcats' 1941-42 team. Following service in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, Clason was a teacher and coach at Topeka High School from 1947-1953 and as a teacher and coach at Goshen High School from 1953-1986. Clason died in 2013.
Also selected were Tom Bowman (Martinsville, 1959), Jim Fisher (Lebananon, 1979), Russ Grieger (Evansville Bosse, 1960), Willie Humes (Madison, 1967), Brad Miley (Rushville, 1976), Terry Stillabower (Lafayette Jefferson, 1964), Joe Todrank (Holland, 1956) and Charles "Butch'' Wade (Columbus, 1963). The Silver Medal honoree is Mike Blake (Mt. Carmel, 1962) and the Centennial Award winner Bill Diddel (Indianapolis Manuel, 1904).
The ceremony will be held on Wednesday, March 23, 2016.
Reservations are available online now or through mail order in early 2016. Call the Hall at 765-529-1891 or visit www.hoopshall.com.

Homeland Security Leaders Say They're Ready to 'Ensure Every Vote Is Counted and Counted Correctly'
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)—in coordination with federal, state, local, and private sector partners nationwide—are continuing efforts to protect our elections.
"Our agencies have been working in unprecedented ways to combat influence efforts and to support state and local officials in securing our elections, including efforts to harden election infrastructure against interference. Our goal is clear: ensure every vote is counted and counted correctly. At this time we have no indication of compromise of our nation's election infrastructure that would prevent voting, change vote counts, or disrupt the ability to tally votes," DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, DNI Dan Coats, and FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a joint statement.
"But Americans should be aware that foreign actors – and Russia in particular – continue to try to influence public sentiment and voter perceptions through actions intended to sow discord. They can do this by spreading false information about political processes and candidates, lying about their own interference activities, disseminating propaganda on social media, and through other tactics. The American public can mitigate these efforts by remaining informed, reporting suspicious activity, and being vigilant consumers of information, as discussed below," they continued.
"The United States will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections from Russia, China, Iran, or other nations. As noted in a joint statement on October 19, 2018, such actions are a threat to our democracy, and identifying and preventing this interference is one of our highest priorities. On September 12, President Trump signed an executive order that makes clear the U.S. government will not hesitate to defend our electoral processes or punish those who attempt to undermine them."
The homeland security leaders said that "our agencies have been making preparations for nearly two years in advance of these elections and are closely engaged with officials on the ground to help them ensure the voting process is secure."
"Americans can rest assured that we will continue to stay focused on this mission long after polls have closed," they added.
Voters can take a few simple steps to help secure our elections, including:
Get Election Information Straight from the Source – Your State or Local Election Office. Call them or check their website. They will have accurate information you can trust on the status of your voter registration, polling hours and location, identification requirements, and election results.
Be Smart When Consuming or Sharing Election-Related Information: Know Your Source—And Think Before You Link. Compare reporting from multiple sources to determine reliable information. Before sharing, ask yourself, "Who wrote it? Who posted it? What are their sources?"

Beauty Generation scares off challengers in Stewards' Cup
News / Talking Points
There are just seven entries for the 1,600m Group One – the smallest field assembled in the past 10 years

Only seven entries for the Group One Stewards' Cup (1,600m) in Hong Kong Sunday week? Wow. How short does Beauty Generation start? – @AndrewNJHawkins
It is a problem a lot of the champions across all jurisdictions face – they are so good that no one wants to compete against them.
Beauty Generation is far and away Hong Kong's best horse – he's proven it across two seasons now and it has come to the point where rivals are prepared to head overseas to avoid him (such as Caspar Fownes and Southern Legend).
Caspar Fownes eyes Dubai with Southern Legend as he tries to dodge Beauty Generation
It is something Australian superstars Winx and Black Caviar found as they collected Group One after Group One against moderate fields.
The difference in Australia is that there are plenty of other options, but in Hong Kong there is meant to be nowhere to hide.
Once a horse reaches that level, there are only a few races they can compete in so they are forced to run against each other.
But this will be the smallest field Beauty Generation has faced in his 19 previous Hong Kong starts – he had seven rivals in both last year's Jockey Club Mile and the Champions Mile.
In the previous 10 renewals of the Stewards' Cup, just once has there been a field of less than 10 – nine when Able Friend won in 2015. The rest of the time there was somewhere between 11 and 14 runners.
Everything falls Seasons Bloom's way in Stewards' Cup
In last year's edition, there were 13 entries and Beauty Generation actually finished seventh, a length and three-quarters from Seasons Bloom.
This time around there is only one real challenger – John Size's rising star Conte. The five-year-old has been sensational winning his past two starts – the most recent one in Group Three company – but it is a big step up to take on the territory's top runner on level weights at his pet trip.
Southern Legend and Beauty Only both ran well in the Longines Hong Kong Mile, but they are no match for Beauty Generation.
Pakistan Star and Northern Superstar are both better over further while it is hard to see Rattan turning the tables on Conte after finishing third to him last time out.
Of those who could be in the field, some are heading to races over further (Time Warp, Eagle Way, Exultant and Glorious Forever), but others like Singapore Sling and Seasons Bloom have decided to skip the contest entirely.
Even horses with ratings from 100 to 110 who would be eligible to compete are avoiding it because connections would rather focus their attention on winnable races, instead of trying to run a place in a Group One, ruin their rating and put them in no-man's-land.
Dubai trip up in the air for Hong Kong duo Pakistan Star and Beauty Generation
There is no simple solution to the problem – depth at the top level is always going to be an issue for such a small horse population. It can only improve as numbers grow and that will take time.
How will the Stewards' Cup market look? At a guess, Beauty Generation starts about $1.2, a gap to Conte at $5 and write your own ticket the rest.
It is a similar problem in the Group One Centenary Sprint Cup – which has nine entries but just four live chances in the Hong Kong Sprint quartet of Mr Stunning, D B Pin, Beat The Clock and Little Giant.
With Hot King Prawn and Ivictory both having a break after flat runs in the Hong Kong Sprint and Bauhinia Sprint Trophy respectively, the depth in the short-course ranks has also taken a hit.
Styling City and Wishful Thinker add some interest, especially the former given he will carry just 119 pounds as a three-year-old, but it is a huge ask to match the A-graders in their first runs at Group One level.
Both races look pretty straightforward on paper, but races aren't run on paper – and you only have to look at Jolly Banner's shock 90-1 victory in Sunday's Bauhinia Sprint Trophy to see why.

Tony Awards 2017: Winners, videos, photos and more
NEW YORK - An intimate, heart-wrenching musical about loneliness, teen angst and suicide in the age of hyperconnectivity capped its unlikely journey to Broadway smash by winning top honors at the Tonys.
More:Broadway review: 'Evan Hansen' full of heartbreak, hope
"Dear Evan Hansen," starring 23-year-old Ben Platt in a breakout — and knockout — performance, took six awards Sunday evening at Radio City Music Hall, including best musical and best actor for Platt. It also won best score for its young composers, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, already Oscar winners for the movie "La La Land."
Platt, in his acceptance speech, addressed young people who might be suffering some of the social anxiety faced by his character, high school senior Evan Hansen.
"To all young people watching at home, don't waste any time trying to be like anybody else," he said, "because the things that make you strange are the things that make you powerful."
Another memorable speech came from the night's other big musical star, Bette Midler, winning best actress (her first competitive Tony) for her lauded turn in "Hello, Dolly!" Midler took the stage in a sequin gown, and made it clear she wouldn't leave the podium until she was good and ready. When the orchestra tried to play her off, she didn't just speak over it — she shot back merrily: "Shut that crap off!"
Her speech provided host Kevin Spacey — who sang, did a little soft-shoe, trotted out his impressions, and was generally game for anything — with his best line of the night. Appearing as his "House of Cards" character Frank Underwood, he wisecracked that he'd better leave, "before Bette Midler thanks anyone else."
More:Broadway: Bette Midler is divine in 'Hello, Dolly!'
In the highly competitive drama category, "Oslo," a three-hour play about the 1993 Middle East peace accords by J. T. Rogers, beat out a field that included "A Doll's House, Part 2," by Lucas Hnath, the Pulitzer-winning "Sweat," by Lynn Nottage, and "Indecent" by Paula Vogel. (In a new touch, all four playwrights personally introduced their work).
Unlike last year, when "Hamilton" dominated the show and won 11 Tonys, the wealth was spread out this time. "Hello, Dolly!" won four, including best musical revival and best featured actor for Broadway veteran Gavin Creel. And best director of a musical went to Christopher Ashley of "Come From Away," the crowd-pleasing show about the people of Gander, Newfoundland, who sheltered thousands of stranded airline passengers on Sept. 11.
More:Broadway: 'Oslo' recalls Israeli-Palestinian conflict
The boisterous "Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812," which had 12 nominations, ended up winning just two technical awards, for best set and lighting.
More:'Dear Evan Hansen' lighting designer shares secrets
It was clearly Evan Hansen's night. The show's writer, Steven Levenson, won for best book of a musical, and Alex Lacamoire earned one for best orchestrations (after winning last year for "Hamilton.") And Rachel Bay Jones won her first Tony — featured actress — for her heartbreaking portrayal of a mother who struggles to understand and help her son, Evan, as he gets caught in a terrible lie that he cannot control.
Jones spoke of her many lean years in the business, and thanked her "Nana" for selling her engagement ring so she could come to New York and pursue her dreams.
In drama, top acting honors went to Kevin Kline for "Present Laughter" — his third Tony — and to Laurie Metcalf — her first — for "A Doll's House, Part 2." Best director went to Rebecca Taichman for "Indecent."
More:Broadway: How Tony nominee brought 'Jitney' to life
Kline made a point of thanking the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities, two organizations whose federal funding is threatened under President Donald Trump's administration.
Cynthia Nixon won her second Tony, featured actress in a play, for Lillian Hellman's "The Little Foxes." Nixon was one of the most politically outspoken winners, giving a shout-out to people who refuse to just stand by and watch when bad things happen in the world. Another big name, Danny DeVito, favored for his entertaining work in Arthur Miller's "The Price," lost out to Michael Aronov, for "Oslo."
More:Broadway: 'August Wilson's Jitney' is brilliant
Other winners included August Wilson's "Jitney," which collected the Tony for best play revival. And in choreography, Andy Blankenbuehler joined his "Hamilton" colleague Lacamoire with a repeat win this year, this time for "Bandstand."
Spacey peppered his routines — aided by Whoopi Goldberg and Stephen Colbert, to name a few guests — with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor, making a storyline out of the fact that he wasn't the first choice for hosting duties.
More:'Falsettos' a dream come true for Jersey native
He also played with speculation about his sexual orientation as he sang the Andrew Lloyd Webber song "As If We Never Said Goodbye" from "Sunset Boulevard." Dressed as Glenn Close, who stars in that revival, Spacey sang, "I'm coming out..." and then added, "Of makeup..."
More:'Falsettos' headed to movie theaters this summer
Some of his most successful bits, judging by audience reaction, were his much-lauded impressions. How about: His impression of Bill Clinton even caught the fancy of a former vice president in the audience — Joe Biden.
"For a minute, I thought that was really Clinton," Biden said, at the after-party for the award show at the Plaza Hotel. In an interview, he said he had enjoyed both Spacey and the ceremony, even though he hadn't had time to see this year's nominated shows yet.
Full list of nominees:Bette Midler, 'Hello, Dolly!' score nods
Biden — whose wife, Jill, introduced the military veteran-themed "Bandstand" at the ceremony and got a standing ovation — was clearly a major draw at the party, causing a bottleneck of admiring partygoers begging for selfies with him. He stopped to chat with Keegan-Michael Key and also Josh Groban, the singer who stars in "Natasha, Pierre."
Groban reminded the former vice president that Biden had once told him he has him on his iPod playlist, and he'd never forgotten that. "I still have you on there," Biden said, and quipped, "I probably ruined your reputation."
More:Broadway: 2017 Tony Awards preview
At the party, nominees, celebrities and other guests wandered through the hotel's food stalls, munching on everything from filet mignon to avocado gazpacho to lobster rolls to chocolate macaroons.
Groban, who lost out to Platt, said he'd been "pinching myself all night" at being a nominee, and being "part of this Broadway season that has been so vibrant and brilliant. And then to be representing my show and performing tonight — I just had the best time."

Dr Katherine Kulp, trained as a ballerina, has a passion for treating performing artists. In an interview, she shares her experience and some physio tips for the dance community.
You have a keen interest in injury prevention/management of the dance community. What motivated you to focus on this community?
I trained in ballet from an early age, going on to perform with a pre-professional company prior to attending university. While I was lucky to have never experienced a huge injury, I had several nagging issues that never quite resolved, and my technique suffered for it. My only options were to keep stretching, keep icing, and keep dancing. Knowing what I now know, I wish I could have helped myself then! Often, mechanical limitations of the body, or improper motor control patterns, are the road block to perfecting a particular movement. A manual therapist with a background in ballet has the knowledge to identify and treat the issue.
Share with us your experience in treating performing artists?
Given my background, I have a particular passion for treating ballerinas! I have worked with modern, ballet and jazz dancers at University of Colorado, and Perry Mansfield. With the guidance of Dr Shaw Bronner, an individual who has been hugely influential in the field of dance medicine, I set up a dance outreach programme to screen dancers based on the Ailey-Fordham model, which is being borne out in research as a valuable tool for predicting injury, and therefore remediating those predictors of injury BEFORE a dancer gets injured.
When should a performing artist see a physio?
An injury that has not resolved within 3 weeks through rest, ice and unloading is unlikely to resolve on its own. Training as usual through injury slows healing, and in fact, training errors may be perpetuating the problem through excessive stress and strain on injured tissues. The discipline that allows dancers to train so intensely can backfire when it comes to taking care of themselves. I often see dancers who have had the same chronic injury or pain for over a year before they seek additional help. Seeking care earlier helps the dancer get back to full participation earlier.
Dancers are also at an increased risk of scoliosis relative to the general population: approximately 10% of dancers have scoliosis, compared to 1% of the general population, and are best served by routine screening.
While knee pain is hugely common, it is generally not the result of a problem at the knee itself. This is because the knee is essentially trapped between the foot and ankle, meaning problems at either one, i.e. decreased strength of the hip muscles, or positional dysfunctions of the ankle/foot translate up or down the leg, creating issues at the knee. Research into movement biomechanics and injuries in elite athletes demonstrates that the best single thing to prevent knee injury amongst female athletes is to have strong hips! This applies to performing artists as well.
Is there any significant difference in your treatment approach as compared to a standard primary care physio?
Ballet injuries present a unique diagnostic challenge in that the demands placed on the body are so different than any other sport. Working from a maximally turned out position, weight bearing through the toes, and having a "pointe" range of motion of over 100 degrees changes the demands on the hip, knee and foot! A medical professional who is unfamiliar with these demands often struggles to accurately diagnose the problem simply because it is so different to any other sport. Understanding the pathologies that commonly afflict the dancer (having experienced many of them myself) and the training errors/muscle imbalances that contribute to them is what allows me to successfully rehabilitate dancers.
As a dance physio, what tips would you give on self-care and injury prevention?
Stretch after class: your body is warm, and you will not negatively impact the muscle's ability to provide force for your technique class.
No prolonged stretching (about 20 minutes). Don't read that book in front split with your arms resting on the ground!
A static stretch generally needs to be held for 30 seconds for 2-3 repetitions. Performed 3-5 times per week over the long term is enough "dose" to change the flexibility of the muscle.
If you're not seeing change with stretching, joint mobilization may be indicated to help your range of motion. This is best determined by an orthopaedic manual therapist.
Finally, stretching is not the same thing as a warm up! You should be warming up before class: a quick 5 minute series of whole body movements to increase the temperature of the body and bring blood to the muscles. This can include: a light jog, small ankle and knee bends, larger walking lunges, and leg swings.


Gmail is one of the leading email service provider in the world and it's have a lots of feature that make it one of the best email service provider in the world , I have also posted a post in which I have shown that how can we undo the sent email using Gmail but still Gmail lack in one feature , you may be thinking what's that feature that Gmail lack , have you ever want to know is your sent email is read by recipient or not well Gmail doesn't provide this functionality but we don't need to be disappointed because there are some way from that we can know whether our email have been read by recipient or not , it's a Google chrome extension which integrate with Gmail and on sending email let you know whether your email have been read or not. So let's see how actually it works.
We required Google chrome browser because this work only on Google chrome browser as I already told you we will track our emails using a Google Chrome extension , so open up your Google Chrome browser and installed the below MailTrack for Gmail extension on your Google Chrome browser.
I hope all of you know how to install a Google chrome extension in your browser if in case you don't know how to install it then just click on Free button and then click on the Add after that the extension get added to your Google chrome browser, see below picture for more details.
so once extension get added to your Google chrome browser a new window will open in that window you need to sign in the extension using your Gmail ID , see below picture for more details .
After signing in MailTrack using your Gmail ID, you will get redirected to your Gmail inbox, now here we need to test the extension is it really working or not, so what i did i write an email from Gmail ID and send that email to my other email, see below picture for more details.
I have sent the email to my other id and I read that email from my phone , now after a while I get an email that my email have been read by recipient , see below picture for more details .
The best part of the application that you can't go and check always email that your email read by recipient or not so in that case this MailTrack provide same kind of function as we seen in whatsapp , so when someone read your message it shows a double check or when a message get delivered it shows a single check same kind of thing get displayed on the home page of Gmail , see below picture for more details .
so that's how your track an email in Gmail , I also tested one more thing what would happened if I removed this extension and reinstall this extension , OK in that case I found that it retain what email have been read by recipient and which not , I hope you find my this post valuable you can help my sharing this post and don't forget to subscribe to my blog and social networking pages if you have any query please leave a comment below in the comment section and you can also look at my other post like how to save an email of Gmail as in PDF format in android operating system or you can read more from the below section.


The Experience of Infinite Consciousness – A Psychic's View of . . .
Put another way, there is no thing that is separate from an Infinite everything. The Full God Consciousness is connected within each unique consciousness that God has given awareness to. This is not just humans, but all of existence – all of the Infinitely created "Everything".
Put another way, Infinite Consciousness experiences infinite experiences through all the different parts of Infinite consciousness.
Put another way, God is everything. Consciousness is everything. And just because we don't get it, only means that we haven't yet experienced Infinite experiences in order to be aware of ourselves as Infinite Consciousness.
All of life – Infinite God Consciousness – is constantly creating, so that all of life – Infinite God Consciousness – can constantly experience all of life – Infinite God Consciousness.
Put another way, we, as part of Infinite God Consciousness, are constantly creating, so that we, as part of Infinite God Consciousness, can constantly experience ourselves as part of Infinite God Consciousness.
It's all available, all the time, and to integrate it all, and be aware of it all, we simply use all time.
Needless to say, we still have a ways to go, but we have infinite time – eternity – in which to do it. For some of us, the hard part is wrapping our minds around what exactly the term "infinite" means. Once we can do that, we are slightly closer to understanding all that is.
See? It all makes sense, now, right?
So, you can understand now, how Infinite Creativity creates Infinitely. And Infinite Consciousness experiences this infinite creativity.
Because of this, every experience that you and I create for ourselves and others is experienced by the Infinite Consciousness – by all life – in some form or way. No experience we create for ourselves or another is limited to only ourselves or that other person.
Since we are part of the Infinite, the experiences we create are experienced by the Infinite – by all of life – on this planet, solar system, galaxy and universe, including other planes of existence, other universes, and other dimensions.
In other words, all of life, of which we are a part, experiences all of life, of which we are a part, and we experience all of life because of this.

If you were around during the early part of the 1970s, you invariably saw some sort of box-like, weird, jeep-looking sorta, well…thing start to turn up on the streets here and there. When you asked your buddy what the heck it was, you wound up in one of those Abbott and Costello "Who's on first?" types or conversations.
And so on…anyway, the car that we came to know as the Volkswagen Thing here in the United States was called the Type 181 Kurierwagen when it was originally produced in Germany in 1969. The car was essentially based on the German military vehicle called the Kübelwagen that was used during World War II. VW was first asked to produce such a vehicle for military purposes in the 1950s, but they begged off until the late 60s when they identified a demand for such a vehicle in the consumer marketplace, specifically in Mexico. The Mexican version of the car was called the Safari.
The Volkswagen Thing hit the American marketplace in 1973. It shared its chassis with the VW bus (pre '68) and was powered by a 1600 cc 4-cylinder capable of an astounding (not) 46 horsepower. The Thing appealed to many younger people and outside-of-the-box types, and it was reasonably popular despite its rather hefty price tag. The 1973 VW Thing actually cost more than the Beetle, going for $3150.
This was the era when the consumer advocate Ralph Nader was making a name for himself putting the automotive industry under the microscope. He deemed the Thing unsafe and did all that he could to get it off the market, and he succeeded. The car remained in production through 1974, and after that it was no longer imported to America.
There were a total of about 25,000 VW Things imported to the U.S. in all, so they are rather rare as well as being a very unique oddity. These cars can be quite valuable, with low mileage, perfect specimens fetching upwards of $15,000. A fully restored Thing was purchased for $40,000 at a Barrett-Jackson auction. The Thing was certainly a fun car to drive, and it would be a very cool acquisition if you came across one today.

Seniors 'overlooked' during throne speech, says Warawa
Langley-Aldergrove MP and critic for seniors responds to Friday's address
Dan Ferguson
Dec. 8, 2015 9:00 a.m.
The new federal government's brief speech from the throne should have mentioned seniors, Langley-Aldergrove Conservative MP Mark Warawa said.
Warawa, the Official Opposition critic for seniors, said there was no reference to older Canadians in the 15-minute address prepared by the new Liberal government and read by Governor General David Johnston to open the new session of Parliament on Friday (Dec. 4).
"I am very disappointed that the government's speech did not once mention seniors," Warawa said in a written statement.
"The Prime Minister made many promises to Canadian seniors, but he has not appointed a minister for seniors and does not have a plan to keep those promises."
"Right now one in six Canadians is a senior. In 14 years, one in four Canadians will be a senior. Canada needs a sustainable plan for seniors that will meet their needs.
"I call on the government to present a clear plan for supporting Canadian seniors."
The Liberal government speech from the throne is considered to be one of the shortest ever at less than 2,000 words.
By comparison the last speech from the throne by the previous Conservative government, in 2013, was more than 7,000 words.

Survivor: Winners at War: Edge of Paranoia
Wednesdays. Before all this, they were the welcome break to the work week. Mid-week church followed by dinner with a friend. We had to skip a couple before all of this, so it's been six weeks since we've been out of routine. I really could have used that time today.
Instead, my computer kept freaking at a certain point of an email I was trying to send out and had to re-do it three times. Finally got it out and was trying to get ready to watch Survivor on time. Meanwhile, I burned my pizza to a crisp. It was a think crust and I could pick up the entire thing without it bending or anything falling off. I'm eating it anyway.
And starting Survivor twenty-six minutes late.
This week, things get tense as the castaways scramble to reestablish their relationships before Tribal Council. 😯 Who will see EOE next? Find out tomorrow at 8/7c! pic.twitter.com/3FLa7SREH4
— SURVIVOR (@survivorcbs) April 7, 2020
Night 21 on Koru. Michele is ticked at the blindside of Wendell. She wanted him out, and was on board with that, but she was uniformed and on the wrong side of the vote.
Nick is going to pitch a fit because he didn't know. He thinks he's next and is ready for revenge. Tony tries to talk him down.
Adam thought he was going home. However, he has a theory that there is an immunity idol behind Jeff's podium at tribal. I don't know how he thinks he's going to do it.
Out on Extinction, Natalie, Parvati and Amber are getting their yoga on.
Stay calm… #Survivor will be right back after this commercial break. 😉 pic.twitter.com/rDSO09UmQi
Yul finds a message to be read when they are all together. The box contains a scroll for each of them. Part of the clue says history repeats itself, so they set out the various trails to the top of the mountain. They start looking for fire tokens.
Danni and Parvati start thinking it's not about this season, but when Aubrey found an idol on her season.
Parvati finds it. It's a 50/50 coin flipped for immunity. They have to sell it to someone though. The two of them decide maybe they should sell it to Michelle and in turn buy food.
They end up telling some of the others that they trust in a plan to split food.
It's challenge time! This time it's for reward.
They will split into two teams of five. They will swim out to collect wooden fish. They will bring it back and work a puzzle. The prize is Chinese take-out.
Honestly, even if I were really hungry, I would be disappointed.
Kim and Jeremy were drawn to be the captains to pick teams. They divide out with different jobs. With an odd number, Denise is not chosen for a team.
The blue team is Ben, Sarah and Kim in the water with Sophie and Michele on the puzzle.
The red team is Tony, Tyson and Adam in the water with Jeremy and Nick on the puzzle.
Blue gets back to the shore first.
They have to disconnect the fish from the net, hang them on a poll and carry the pole to the puzzle mat.
Blue makes it to the puzzle mat first, followed quickly by red.
Red seems to be making progress, but is a piece away. Blue gains ground though and pulls off the reward.
Sarah asks if she can give her reward to someone. Jeff says, "Sure." She gives it to Nick because it's his birthday.
Jeff asks why he would do that. Adam thinks she made a mistake. Last time she played by blindsiding friends, and he doesn't trust her as far as he can throw her which isn't far.
Back at camp, in her interview, Sarah says she did it because Nick got blind-sided on his birthday (yesterday) and he didn't get to celebrate with his fiance, etc. She thinks you need to be human.
Tony berates her saying people are going to say she has to go for giving up a reward. Jeremy thinks it's going to bite her in the butt too. (He's been there done that.)
Nick doesn't trust Sarah, and he doesn't think he owes her anything.
As they eat their feast, everyone is checking the containers and fortune cookies for clues.
When they get back, Michelle notices something in her bag. She sneaks off to read it. This advantage costs her four fire tokens, all that she has left. She takes the advice of her fortune cookies and decides to buy the advantage.
And now for the immunity challenge...
Each must balance on a floating pyramid. They start with the bottom rung for five minutes. There's barely a hold for their toes. Michele falls quickly. Denise follows.
.@JeffProbst is bringing the heat today! 🔥#Survivor pic.twitter.com/FsePr97atU
After 5 minutes, they get a break and can sit before the next round. They have to move one perch higher. They'll be here for 10 minutes. Tyson drops quickly. Jeremy looks like he is surfing and falls in.
As the wind picks up, Tony falls.
Six remain at the end of the 10 minutes. For the final stage, they move to the top. Basically, they have to stand on a 2x4 on top of a pyramid. Jeff counts them down, and Adam is out because he can't stand up. Nick and Sophie are right behind. Sarah goes and almost knocks Kim off.
It's between Kim and Ben. Ben loses it, and Kim wins immunity.
Tony is scared because this is what he expected. The lower profile players (the hyenas) are going to pick off the higher profile players.
As groupings start gathering, Kim is leading a group and suggests splitting between Adam and Nick. Another group wants to go Sophie. A different combo wants to go Sarah.
Tyson suspects Adam is more dangerous, so goes around trying to convince everyone Adam. He tries to start raising enough confusion to draw attention elsewhere. Sarah gets made when she finds out her name has been thrown out, so she's all about getting rid of Adam.
Adam finds out people are saying him, and goes to Ben. Ben doesn't want to talk to him.
Then everyone starts talking to everyone else again. Sarah? Nick? Adam? Plans are amok.
Adam decides he needs to go for the fleur de lis decoration he thinks is an idol at tribal council.
Time for tribal council!
Sarah talks about everyone's name coming up. Tyson confirms. Jeremy, the fireman, gives a fire analogy. Denise says she aged a few years today. Jeff asks Nick, "Why today, on day 23?"
Nick says he is ready to fight, so whispering starts among the crowd. Adam says he's just trying to pay attention. The whispers go around to everyone. People asking if they are still good or if they are changing... Nick is SCRAMBLING.
Adam and Ben argue as everyone else is whispering.
The jury is trying to figure out what is going on. They are entertained.
Tony doesn't know what is going on. You can just tell. Adam finally shuts up to ask what all the whispering is and who they are voting for. Tony asks if they should forget the paper and just vote out loud. Adam and Nick were on the same page two minutes ago, and now dam thinks Nick is voting for him. It goes literal cricket chirping silent.
Finally, it's time to vote. Adam eyes that fleur de lis again.
(Rob thinks someone is going to need a lot of therapy on Extinction.)
Jeff goes to tally the votes. "If anyone has an immunity idol..." Adam stands up, walks to the podium, grabs the fleur off the front, but it won't come off. Everyone looks at him like he's crazy.
When Adam sits back down, he said, "Guess it's not." Jeff asks, "Are you sure?" Adam says he wants to play it. "This?"
What...just...happened?! 😂 #Survivor pic.twitter.com/QGdIWlfxku
Jeff says that if it is an idol, that'd be the first time an idol was ever hidden at tribal, and it is NOT.
It's time to read the votes.
Two votes go unread.
I feel sorry for everyone on Extinction to now deal with Adam. Adam gives his one token to Denise.

Survivor: Winners at War: The Merge


The biggest business rate change of the generation is being experienced by entrepreneurs and this is giving many sleepless nights according to the first revaluation. Business rates figures are derived from the property's rental value. Firms in London are being largely affected by this revelation, though much impact is not felt in the north and midlands. The rates changes are likely to come into force from April, 2017 and this includes increase in the rates relief by £12,000. According to the revaluation done by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) the rentable will not be the same.
The VOA set new rates for 2010 after collecting data from 2008, now the revaluation is based on 2015 figures and the rentals have increased drastically since then in London. According to the report by Colliers, a real estate agent, the winners and losers were predicted. Accordingly, the losers will be from the central London while Dover Street located in Mayfair gains with 415% increase. Places like Hammersmith and Brixton are likely to experience spikes. Similarly places outside London like Winchester, Oxford and Brighton may experience rate hike.
A report says that the 2017 revaluation will bring about a great change in the rateable value. The businesses are not prepared for the consequences, informs the report. The business rates are expected to grow above a quarter after the revaluation and it could be somewhere between £45,000 and £57,000 per year. It is also felt by the business community that the higher rates and taxes may affect the way their clients are charged. This could lead to a less competitive market and ultimately losing edge to offshore businesses to economies like India.
Meanwhile the government is defending by claiming it is cutting down on business rates to update the system. Moreover, it says that 3/4th of the businesses will not experience any change and over 600,000 companies to have rates slashed fully.

The Battle of Rumaythah (26 September 2006) was fought during the morning in the Iraqi town of Rumaythah in Al Muthanna province between Australian forces of the Overwatch Battle Group (West) and unidentified Iraqi insurgents. The Australians had entered the town to hold discussions at the Iraqi Army barracks when they were engaged by a large number of insurgents in an intense exchange of fire during which a number of insurgents were killed. The incident lasted almost an hour and although a number of insurgents were killed it was considered to have been a well coordinated attack. The Australians then withdrew in good order without loss of life, injury or serious damage to equipment. Although a small incident with few tactical—and no strategic—consequences, it was significant as being a rare contact involving Australian forces in Iraq after the end of major combat operations in 2003. The incident was also the first time that the Australians were directly targeted by anti-Iraqi insurgents.

Prelude
At 09:00 on 26 September 2006 an Australian force consisting of a 60-man element from OBG(W) arrived at the Iraqi Army barracks in Rumaythah to conduct a meeting with local stakeholders and to co-ordinate the training of Iraqi police and the reconstruction of the barracks itself. The group comprised infantry from 2 RAR and soldiers from 6 RAR mounted in Bushmaster PMVs as well as elements and cavalry from 2/14 LHR (QMI) mounted in ASLAVs, and was under the command of Major Andrew Stevens. In 2006 Rumaythah was a city of 75,000 people and had a reputation for violence and given the threat the Australians deployed snipers in over-watch positions around the barracks, as well as an infantry platoon. Nearby two cavalry ready-reaction groups were on standby.

Battle
As the meeting commenced small groups of armed men were observed conducting surveillance of the Australian positions. During the next hour insurgents gathered throughout the town and soon after 1100 a rocket-propelled grenade was fired. The insurgents were moving in small groups through the town and appeared to be trying to encircle the barracks in order to conduct a deliberate assault and destroy the Australian force. For the next hour the barracks were attacked with grenades and small arms fire from ranges between  to .

In response the Australian snipers engaged the insurgents whilst the platoon to the west of the barracks held its ground. Support from USAF F-16s was requested and they were used to fly low and fast over the insurgents in an attempt to distract them. Covered by the infantry Major Steven's party subsequently left the barracks in Bushmasters, still under heavy fire. Although attempting to prevent the Australian withdrawal the insurgents failed to flank the barracks to the north and south and by 12:15 the Australians had successfully broken contact and left Rumaythah.

During the fighting the Australians used their standard suite of infantry weapons including the F-88 Austeyr and F-89 Minimi LSW, well as MAG-58 MGs and sniper rifles. The ASLAV and Bushmaster vehicles played a crucial role in protecting the soldiers and allowing them to break contact safely. Indirect fires and Close Air Support had been available during the contact, however the decision was made not to escalate the situation due to the proximity of civilians. Following the incident Australian commanders claimed that their soldiers had withdrawn in a disciplined manner and had put themselves at considerable risk to ensure the safety of civilians, whilst applying their fire in a careful and controlled manner.

Aftermath
The Australians suffered no casualties, while insurgent casualties were difficult to determine. A number of insurgents were observed to have been hit by Australian fire, and at least one source claims that five were killed. Up to 30 insurgents were believed to have been involved in the battle, however their identity—for example whether they were Sunnis or Shia religious groups, or al-Qaida—was unable to be determined. The balaclava-clad insurgents were dressed mainly in black and armed with AK-47s and grenade launchers. Regardless, they were said to have fought in a well coordinated manner and had used considerable firepower against the Australians. After the battle it was claimed that the insurgents had used civilians as a shield from Australian fire. Despite this there were no reports of civilian casualties after the incident. Two of the Australian infantry section commanders were later awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for co-ordinating a successful fighting withdrawal over  of open ground.

Congratulations. Considering it doesn't have a brain, that orchid is pretty smart.
How beautiful...I have the thumb of death and could only dream of growing someting so beautiful...- congratulations!
That is gorgeous. My husband has an orchid. He purchased it on clearance well after it had already bloomed. We're both hoping that WE'LL be able to see it bloom. We've heard, however, that once an orchid has bloomed, it's difficult to get it to bloom again.
Wow -- that is awesome! So many details in this.

JOHN BOYD
The town of Castle Cary was already a well-established textile town as early as 1327 for weaving coarse count linen fabric and rope manufacturing. By 1800 cottage workers had also begun to weave a horsehair cloth with a cotton warp. At this time the horsehair came from live local horses as it was the fashion to crop horses tails with the horsehair cleansed in the local pond. John Boyd, a traveling textile merchant from Scotland, saw a potentially expanding market for horsehair fabric and as he liked Castle Cary began weaving this cloth in his cottage. By 1837 John Boyd had become established and began to employ people to expand his output. Such was the demand for this hard wearing versatile hair cloth, that in 1851 John Boyd moved the process to his own specially built factory. The company became limited as early as 1883.
At the turn of the century, horsehair fabric was so popular that John Boyd became one of the main employers in the town, employing over 200 people weaving horsehair fabric. He contributed much to the town, building cottages for his workers such as Jubilee Cottages and Cumnock Terrace, and the Liberal Institute.
The horsehair fabrics were initially woven by hand. By 1870, John Boyd led and patented the development of mechanical looms where a mechanical picker was able to tease one hair from the tail. The tail must be carefully mixed and drawn through teeth of a large comb beforehand.
Although John Boyd died in 1890, his fabrics and the tradition of horsehair weaving is continued in Castle Cary to this day using the original looms and techniques of over 125 years ago.
Horsehair fabrics have been used by renowned architects such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and in high quality projects in the UK and abroad: elegant hotels, architectural practices, exclusive boutiques and restaurants

MIDDLESBROUGH residents with dementia, severe memory loss, a learning disability or a chronic mental illness, are being advised of potential Council Tax reductions, with some having nothing to pay at all.
If one adult in a household has one of the above conditions, they could be medically certified as being 'severely mentally impaired', with Council Tax bills reducing by 25% or even 100% for those who live alone.
In order to receive the discount, applicants need to get a letter from their doctor to confirm the condition is permanent and confirmation of eligibility for one of the qualifying state benefits such as attendance allowance, severe disablement allowance or employment support allowance.
Cllr Nicky Walker, Middlesbrough Council's Executive Member for Finance and Governance, said: "It recently occurred to me that there are potentially many people in Middlesbrough who are entitled to Council Tax reductions who are not aware that they may be entitled and so are not claiming them.
"We would advise anyone who believes they may be eligible to visit Middlesbrough Council's website for more information and to book an appointment with one of our advisors.
If you think that this may apply to you, please call the Council's Customer Centre on 01642 726006 for further information or to arrange an appointment to meet an adviser.
Discounts are also available to households with a student, people who live alone or where there is a low household income and information can also be found on the Council's website.

The House's No. 2 Democratic leader says comedian Stephen Colbert's (kohl-BEHR's) testimony last week on immigration was "inappropriate" and "an embarrassment."
Colbert was invited to appear before the House Judiciary Committee by Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California. But other Democrats weren't happy about her decision.
The committee chairman, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., asked Colbert to leave the room at the beginning of the hearing because Colbert has no expertise in farm labor issues or immigration policy.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland tells "Fox News Sunday" he thought the episode was more of an embarrassment to Colbert than to the House. But, he added, "I think it was inappropriate" that he testified.
