In which Jeannine Saba of Lost for Words meets the world's worst audio interviewer and is mysteriously compelled to tell him the story of her amazing business [parental warning: contains repeated & annoying mmmm-ing, uh-huhing and one explicit reference to cheesecake].
This is the first in an occasional series of interviews I'm doing with friends of mine who have cool businesses.
I think this is just the sort of business that cries out for a blog – a high-value bespoke product range made with great passion. It's a testament to how hard Jeannine's worked at getting good press that she's got so many customers through that avenue, I'm sure that a blog would add another stream of people queuing up for these gorgeous (and I've told her so, but I repeat it here to ram the point home).


Aim: The purpose of this game is to recognise the equal and supplementary angles formed when a transversal cuts a pair of parallel lines. It also aims at learning the correct names for the pairs of angles.
Instructions: Press the START button. A pair of angles will be displayed on the diagram. Decide first if they are "equal" or "supplementary" then press the appropriate button. If correct a tick will appear next to the box. Then decide on the correct name for the pair of angles and press the appropriate button. When the time (20 seconds) is up, the game stops until "reset".

This is why America's travel business is worried
Foreign travelers to the United States bring billions of dollars into the economy each year. But that flow of people and money now appears to be at risk.
Last year set a record for tourism: 78.6 million foreign travelers came to the United States in 2018. But following that banner year, tourism is now in a slump. Travel in early 2019 is in decline, particularly from Canada, Mexico, China and South Korea. That slowdown started taking place in the second half of last year.
The travel industry is worried about how severe, and long lasting, that decline could be.
Tourism is a serious economic driver for the American economy. The United States enjoyed a $69 billion surplus on international travel last year, reducing the country's overall trade deficit by 11%, according to Tori Barnes, executive vice president of the US Travel Association, the industry trade group. On average,foreign travelers spend $4,000 each on visits to the United States. Chinese tourists spend about $7,000.
"It's a really significant economic impact," said Barnes.
Companies that rely on foreign tourism are starting to feel the decline in travel: For example, Tiffany's reported disappointing sales this week, in part because of a drop in purchases by foreign tourists at its US stores.

Going mobile could get more Americans to vote
Mobile voting, the mission of a Boston-based startup called Voatz, could be the answer to a problem in U.S. politics: Many Americans don't vote.
Driving the news: Even in the hotly-contested 2016 presidential race, only 58% of eligible voters showed up. Some of that may be apathy, but some is certainly the inconvenience of asking working adults to visit polling places on weekdays; particularly when some urban locations have lines that would make Walt Disney blush.
Where it stands: On Thursday, Voatz raised $7 million in Series A funding co-led by Medici Ventures and Techstars. It ran pilot tests last year in West Virginia, whereby overseas military could vote in real elections via smartphone rather than via paper mail. It also just completed a pilot in Denver's municipal elections, including both the regular election and a run-off.

These are the best — and worst — states in the U.S.
U.S. News & World Report released its third annual list of the best and worst states in America to live in, based on "thousands of data points to measure how well states are performing for their citizens," according to the rankings. And the winners and losers of 2019 may catch some by surprise.
Washington state takes the No. 1 spot, followed by New Hampshire and Minnesota taking home the bronze. The states achieved their high rankings by doing well in eight categories: Health care, education, a state's economy, infrastructure, the opportunity the state affords its residents, the fiscal stability of state government, crime and corrections and natural environment.
Some categories of measurement were given more "weight" in the rankings, based on a survey of what matters the most to citizens, according to the site. Health care and education were weighted the highest, followed by state economies, infrastructure and the opportunity states offer their citizens.

Suffering in solitude: A quarter of Americans say they have no one to confide in about their problems - and most hide their real feelings from the people closest to them
Nearly a quarter (24 percent) of Americans feel like they have no one to confide in – and 70 percent say they hold back how they really feel when sharing with a friend, partner or co-worker, according to a new survey.
Most (90 percent) of Americans say they downplay their emotions to avoid worrying or stressing out a loved one, according to the survey by OnePoll on behalf of BetterHelp, a web-based counseling service.
Researchers discovered that young people (age 18-30) are most likely to isolate themselves because they are uncomfortable talking about money, job stress, parents or friends with their significant other.

The UN reports humanity is failing its climate change goals
Despite the danger, there has been little climate change action since the 2016 Paris Agreement — three years later, the world is still on track to exceed the 2°C of warming target by as early as 2040. So this week, the UN is once again sounding the alarm on the unprecedented environmental damage that has proceeded largely unchecked.
In its 6th Global Environmental Outlook report, released today, scientists explore how human actions are threatening the food, water, and natural systems that we take for granted. The report highlights how air pollution from fossil fuels and chemical production kills 6 to 7 million people every year. It underscores the unprecedented scale of biodiversity loss around the planet, which threatens food supplies for billions of people. And it emphasizes the rapid decline of safe drinking water sources around the world as a result of intensive agriculture and chemical contamination.

You're more likely to have sex if any of these factors apply to you
There are numerous identifiable factors that can contribute to people having more sex, according to a new study.
UK researchers published their findings in the Sexual and Reproductive Health Journal last month. It looked at the sexual habits of 3,000 British men and 3,800 British women aged 50 and over.
They then analyzed certain sociodemographic and behavioural factors and found you're more likely to have more previous sexual partners if you're:

Loads of houses are up for sale -- but middle-class buyers are still shut out
Despite an uptick in homes on the market and weakening home sales across the country, home ownership is out of reach for a growing number of middle-class buyers, according to a recent report from real estate brokerage Redfin.
An analysis of U.S. homes on the market in 2017 and 2018 found that the number of affordable homes for sale has decreased in 86 percent of metro areas (of 49 included in the study), even as the number of homes on the market grew. While buyers normally benefit from better availability in competitive housing markets, it doesn't help if the majority of available homes are priced for the wealthy.
"For the past few years, home prices have gone up faster than wages," said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin. "That kind of growth really isn't sustainable. At a certain point, there won't be enough buyers left for the homes left on the market."

Salvation Army slaps 'gag order' on employees so they don't talk about LGBTQ issues
"If you run into a Salvation Army bell ringer this Christmas season, don't strike up a conversation about President Trump or gay marriage," warns FOX News host Todd Starnes is telling his audience.
Starnes says employees "have been told to stop posting their opinions about gay marriage, abortion or anything political on social media because it might reflect poorly on the organization."
The far right pundit says he has leaked copies of internal memos from the home office to staffers instructing them to keep mum about controversial topics.
The religious charity has come under fire in the United States over the past decade for their atrocious record on LGBT rights. To attempt to stem the ongoing outrage over the group's previous stances on LGBT issues, they started a public relations campaign to deny that they are anti-LGBT while never acknowledging their history.

'Morally wrong': Former UN chief condemns U.S. for not having universal health care
Failing to provide health care to 29.3 million people is "unethical" and "politically wrong, morally wrong," said former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in an interview with the Guardian.
The U.S. is the only wealthy country without universal coverage — and Ban faults "powerful" interest groups within the pharmaceutical, hospitals, and doctors sector.
"Here, the political interest groups are so, so powerful," Ban said. "Even president, Congress, senators and representatives of the House, they cannot do much so they are easily influenced by these special interest groups."

New York Schools To Begin Mental Health Education Classes
At the top of July 2018, New York State (NYS) required public schools to implement a mental health segment within the curriculum. With the school year now underway, the program will take effect and aim to nurture children's perception and experience with mental health.
While the learning plan aims to educate young students, it'll also serve as a learning tool for teachers. At the top of the year, when the mandate was first announced, Glenn Liebman, CEO of NYS Mental Health Association, said to News10, "We're not looking to be psychiatrists. We don't want teachers to be clinicians or anything like that. We're looking for them to have a basic understanding about mental health issues, about signs and symptoms."

Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong
From the 16th century to the 19th, scurvy killed around 2 million sailors, more than warfare, shipwrecks and syphilis combined. It was an ugly, smelly death, too, beginning with rattling teeth and ending with a body so rotted out from the inside that its victims could literally be startled to death by a loud noise. Just as horrifying as the disease itself, though, is that for most of those 300 years, medical experts knew how to prevent it and simply failed to.
Which brings us to one of the largest gaps between science and practice in our own time. Years from now, we will look back in horror at the counterproductive ways we addressed the obesity epidemic and the barbaric ways we treated fat people—long after we knew there was a better path.

A Man Says His DNA Test Proves He's Black, and He's Suing
In 2014, Ralph Taylor applied to have his insurance company in Washington State certified as a "disadvantaged business enterprise." The DBE program at the U.S. Department of Transportation was originally designed to help minority- and woman-owned businesses win government contracts. So as proof of his minority status, Taylor submitted the results of a DNA test, estimating his ancestry to be 90 percent European, 6 percent indigenous American, and 4 percent sub-Saharan African.
Government officials reviewing Taylor's application were not convinced. They saw that he looked white. They noted that he was unable to directly document any nonwhite ancestors. They doubted the underlying validity of the DNA test. And, most relevant to the purpose of the program, they found "little to no persuasive evidence that Mr. Taylor has personally suffered social and economic disadvantage by virtue of being a Black American." They refused to certify his company. So Taylor decided to sue—out of principle, he says, because other business owners who look white have won DBE certification before. The Seattle Times first reported on the case in detail last week.

Georgia school reinstating paddling to punish students
A school in Hephzibah, Georgia, is drawing national attention after sending consent forms to parents informing them of a new policy of using paddling as a form of punishment for students, CBS affiliate WRDW-TV reports.
The Georgia School of Innovation and the Classics (GSIC), a kindergarten-through-9th-grade charter school, is bringing back paddling — spanking a child on the behind with a wooden board — as a form of discipline. Superintendent Jody Boulineau told WRDW that about 100 parents sent back the forms, and one-third gave the school consent to paddle their child.
"In this school, we take discipline very seriously," the superintendent said. "There was a time where corporal punishment was kind of the norm in school and you didn't have the problems that you have."

Trump is failing to bring back American jobs
Ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, President Donald Trump is campaigning in battleground states with a new slogan: "Promises Made, Promises Kept."
But Trump's message isn't ringing true with working-class voters like Renee Elliott, a Democrat who cast her ballot for Trump in 2016. Elliott - who lost her job at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis after Trump promised to save it from being outsourced Mexico - thinks Trump's slogan should be the opposite - "Promises made, none of them kept."
Trump won the White House by selling himself to voters like Elliott and vowing to deliver "more jobs and better wages" by bringing jobs back to the U.S. Trump's pro-worker message helped him score upset victories in Democratic strongholds that have been hard-hit by outsourcing and the disappearance of good union jobs.
But 18 months into his term, Trump has betrayed his promises to the working-class voters like Elliott who helped him to the Oval Office.

Record High Number Of STD Infections In U.S., As Prevention Funding Declines
For the fourth year in a row, federal health officials report that there has been a sharp increase in sexually transmitted diseases in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tallied nearly 2.3 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis in 2017 — an increase of 200,000 cases over the previous year, and a record high.
Chlamydia, a bacterial infection, remained the most common sexually transmitted disease, with more than 1.7 million reported cases. But health officials are concerned that gonorrhea cases increased a startling 67 percent between 2013 and 2017, and syphilis climbed even faster — 76 percent over those four years.
After many years of success in controlling sexually transmitted diseases, "We've been sliding backwards," says Dr. Gail Bolan, director of the CDC's Division of STD Prevention. She spoke at a news conference in Washington Tuesday.

This booklet should be seen as a memento and keepsake to all those involved and interested in a project that enabled a Daoist temple to rise from its ashes on Taibai Shan, a sacred mountain in the heart of China. It recounts the history of this sacred mountain, the Tiejia Temple and an exciting adventure that crossed my path in 2005. At the core lay the construction of the temple and the addition of an ecology education facility, which would initiate a movement to get Daoist temples in China involved in the preservation of nature and in the fight against the ecological crisis facing the country. These exploits also gave me an unexpected opportunity to donate an incense burner to the new Tiejia Temple and dedicate it in memory of my oldest daughter Anneke, who died of cancer in 2004.

If approved by the Court, these amounts (totaling approximately $0.07 per share) will be paid from the Settlement Fund.
The estimated average recovery, after deducting attorneys' fees and expenses, administrative costs, and Class Representative awards of reasonable costs and expenses (if approved by the Court), is $0.17 per share.

nba 2k vc coins Acknowledging that the presentation had met with a largely negative public reaction so dissociated himself from it as something to ten people in a private meeting and renounced it as the kind of presentation that I want to see made at the RNC. Said don need to scare we don need to scare anybody into contributing to the RNC. I sent the word out even think you gong to get away with that kind of behavior.
"In the first half there were coins and other stuff. There were little stones then towards the end a couple of rocks. That just gave us more drive in a difficult scenario to go on and win the game.". The Hurricane's most famous eye was his 1982 victory in the World Championship.

It was rumored Higgins blew a $5 million dollar fortune on drugs drink and horses.
Only 22 Arlington residing students attend schools outside Arlington. Of the 5028 students in Arlington schools nba 2k16 vc 2787 live in Arlington 484 live in Bartlett 1111 live in Lakeland and 559 live in unincorporated Shelby County. SES proposed a municipal school district for Arlington with 4887 students a system 73% larger than the number of Arlington residing students. Shafer's version was considerably different. She pointed out that Basar had not been the only Republican candidate. Terry Roland the second termer from Millington (and also an attendee Thursday night) had also been nominated she said and he had come closer to winning than Basar had netting five votes during an early ballot..
Our challenge now is to allow all fifty states to benefit from the success of Race to the Top. We need to promote reform that gets results while encouraging communities to figure out what best for their kids. That why it so important that Congress replace No Child Left Behind this year so schools have that flexibility. Yet historical trauma alone does not explain the deep Kurdish distrust of nba 2k vc coins Iraq's central government. Power struggles in the modern Middle East are best understood as winner take all contests between religious and ethnic communities. They are contests where the winners utterly dominate bestowing patronage and official favor to members of their own groups.
As Paulinho says: "I am very good friends with Oscar and David Luiz and Ramires at Chelsea is another one I see. So when we get the opportunity for lunch or to socialise we do so. Off the field it is normal to be friends. Nollner said nba 2k16 vc "Mr. Bunker should be ashamed of himself for attacking anyone based on such one sided "information" and to do so to a fellow Republican brings the question why? Was the AOE [Administrator of Elections] competent to conduct the Lakeland election in which Mr. Bunker was elected mayor but incompetent on other issues?".
The plan is an updated version of the scheme under which the Commission has operated for the past decade. It posits four three member districts and one single member district. Opponents including Chism Roland Ritz and others prefer either a system of 13 single member districts 2k16 points or one with six two member nba 2k16 vc sale districts and one single member district.. That's why passing the middle class tax cuts immediately is what's important."Middle class families want action and will blame Congresswoman Blackburn and her Republican colleagues for inaction.

DEM L241 is a supernova remnant object of interest in space. It lies at a distance of 160,000 light years away in the constellation of Dorado.
The Supernova Remnant's location is 05h 36m 00.0s (R.A.) and -67:35:09.00 (Dec.). .
DEM L241 is a supernova remnant that is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud rather than our own Milky Way. The Large Magellanic Cloud is a satellite galaxy that orbits our own galaxy. F.Y.I. there is also a Small Magellanic Cloud. The remnant is estimated at being 1100 light years across, to put something it context, it'll take 1100 years for a lightspeed craft to travel across. The nearest star, Rigil Kentaurus is a mere 4 light years away.


(Yicai Global) Oct. 24 -- The yuan fell against the dollar on rising expectations of a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve, China's state administration of foreign exchange said.
On Oct. 21, the central parity of the yuan against the US dollar (USD) closed 247 base points, or 0.37 percent lower at 6.7558, hitting a new six-year low. It also marked the CNY's biggest fall since Aug. 29.
Recently, the yuan weakened against the dollar, was mainly attributable to a rally of the US currency triggered by heightened expectations of a rate hike by the Fed, Mr. Wang Chunying, SAFE spokesperson said.
He also denied rumors that the USD50,000 cap on foreign exchange had been lifted in six pilot cities, stating that China's foreign exchange administration had not issued any such policies to date.
There was speculation that the central bank was considering lifting the USD50,000 annual limit on foreign exchange for eligible individual investors in the first qualified domestic individual investors program, or QDII2 pilot cities.
These include Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Wuhan, Shenzhen and Wenzhou, and those individual investors who qualify would be allowed to exchange currencies without any limit.
The USD index rose three percent as of Oct. 20 and currencies of all major developed and emerging markets worldwide depreciated as a result, Mr. Wang said. The euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen all slumped 2.8 percent, 5.6 percent and 2.5 percent respectively against the USD.
JPMorgan's Emerging Market Currency Index fell 0.3 percent, as more than 100 currencies weakened against the USD to varying degrees. During the same period, the CNY's central parity and onshore and offshore exchange rates against the USD fell 0.8 percent, 1 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively, which are rather insignificant losses compared to the global average, Mr. Wang said.
Multilateral exchange rates of the yuan went up against baskets of foreign currencies, despite its devaluation against the USD. The yuan's nominal effective exchange rates against the three currency baskets – CFETS, BIS and SDR –rose respectively 0.2 percent, 0.2 percent and 0.8 percent, so far this month, per data from China's foreign exchange trade system.

The goalkeeping position at Real Madrid in recent years has been an area of tension, debate and controversy.
Ever since Jose Mourinho shook things up by benching Iker Casillas, there has not been a season without problems in that position.
Here, we look at each of the dramas to have taken place since the 2012/13 season.
In his final season at Real Madrid, the Portuguese tactician questioned Casillas by benching him in Malaga and opting for Antonio Adan.
Things exploded and weren't the same until his definitive departure.
Although he did take back over between the posts, a hand injury at the end of January and the arrival of Diego Lopez meant he wouldn't play again for Mourinho.
Mourinho left and Carlo Ancelotti arrived, but the problems between the posts continued.
The coach decided to share the competitions between Casillas and Lopez, with the former getting the Champions League and the Copa del Rey and the latter LaLiga Santander.
Tension and comparisons was present all season, more so after Real Madrid won the titles that Casillas was in goal for.
Real Madrid weren't willing to go through another campaign like the previous one with the Casillas and Lopez scenario.
The club signed Keylor Navas, which left Ancelotti free to put Casillas back in as a regular starter.
However, it took a toll on the captain, who eventually departed for Porto.
With the exit of Casillas, Los Blancos focused on bringing in David de Gea.
However, a late fax meant that the deal couldn't be resolved on the final day and left Real Madrid without the goalkeeper they wanted.
As a result, they were forced to carry on with Navas and he won the Champions League with them.
Despite winning an 11th Champions League, the club intended to resume their quest for De Gea and finally complete the signing they wanted to make the previous summer.
Zinedine Zidane was on the bench by that point, though, and blocked any movement between the posts.
With Navas and Kiko Casilla at his disposal, they won the double.
Both the club and Zidane again got tangled up in a problem between the sticks.
There was the possibility of signing Kepa in January and Real Madrid wanted to carry it out.
However, Zidane again put the blockers on it because he didn't want to make any changes in the middle of the campaign and kept betting on Navas, Casilla and his son Luca Zidane.
Kepa ended up joining Chelsea last summer.
Zidane left the club and Real Madrid started a revolution between the posts, which had been prevented by the French tactician.
The first to arrive was Andriy Lunin, a promising 19-year-old Ukrainian who they paid 8.5 million euros for.
Meanwhile, they were still working on the signing of a Galactico goalkeeper.
They negotiated with Alisson Becker and, finally, it was Thibaut Courtois who arrived at the Bernabeu.
That meant Navas, Casilla, Luca Zidane, Courtois and Lunin were all on the books.
The teenager left for Leganes on loan, Luca went down to the Castilla side, Casilla exited for Leeds United in January and Navas remained to compete with Courtois.
The Belgian had started for most of the season, but the Costa Rican was chosen for Zidane's first game back last weekend.


The tibialis posterior is a muscle that originates from the posterior and medial side of the tibia (shin) and travels via its tendon behind the medial malleolus (inside ankle bone) before attaching to a bone on the inside of the foot called the navicular. The tibialis posterior acts primarily to roll the foot out, and also controls the rate at which the foot rolls in when it contacts the ground.
Injuries of this muscle and tendon complex occur in and around the tibialis posterior tendon rather than the muscle itself. The tendon of tibialis posterior is progressively loaded as the foot makes contact with the ground and the foot rolls inward. In those people who have very poorly functioning feet resulting in significant amounts of arch collapse, the tendon may be compressed (squashed) between the ground/shoe and the navicular. Running sports in particular place increased strain and compression on the tendon, which increases the risk of injury.
• Malalignment (poor foot posture).
• Hypermobility (increased joint movement).
• Ligamentous Laxity (overly elastic ligaments).
• Changes in training technique and intensity.
• Changes in playing surfaces.
• Systemic illnesses such as Diabetes.
All of these factors may contribute to acute inflammation in the tibialis posterior tendon.
If left untreated, the acute inflammation of the tibialis posterior tendon can develop into chronic inflammation. This inflammation may result in degeneration of the tendon leading to tendinosis (a breaking down of the collagen within the tendon). In some instances, we may see tears occurring in the tendon. These are called intrasubstance tears.
The onset of symptoms of tibialis posterior tenosynovitis is usually gradual and affects those between 30 and 40 years of age. The pain is typically not debilitating initially but rapidly worsens with prolonged walking or standing. In the athletic cohort, it can ultimately affect push off and drive.
In the clinic, pain may be reproduced on palpation over the tendon as it courses behind the medial malleolus. Swelling is often present, being most pronounced in the part of the tendon around its insertion on the navicular. Pain on toe standing or heel walking is positive for a posterior tibialis injury.
• Careful attention to training modification. Stretching and warm up are critical in the acute phase of the injury.
• Functional foot orthotic devices are also necessary to help improve function and influence the collapse of the foot – in effect reducing the load on the tendon.
• Footwear changes to more supportive options.
Ultimately tibialis posterior tendinopathy can result in significant disability and long-term loss of function, especially if it is left untreated and associated issues arise such as the rupture of the spring ligament. If unsure, please make contact with your nearest podiatrist and have your foot assessed.
Tendinopathy is painful. This article sheds a lot of light on the subject. There have been some break throughs lately on this subject. Check out my link.
Wow, I've never even thought about this before now. Thanks for sharing, I learnt a great deal.
Excellent info. Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Trump's personal interests have directly undermined national security and election integrity: CNN correspondent
On Thursday's edition of CNN's "The Situation Room," correspondent Jim Sciutto broke down a key takeaway from the impeachment hearings.
"We are one year away — less than a year away from the next election, three years after Russia, with consequence, interfered, meddled in the 2016 election," said Sciutto. "One thing is clear from everybody who testified, the president of the United States never expressed any interest in defending the U.S. against that kind of interference. What he did, he was interested in a whole lot of other stuff that undermines that goal of defending U.S. elections from Russian interference, one of which Fiona Hill highlighted there, presenting an alternate explanation, a false one it was Ukraine that somehow hacked the DNC server, not Russia."
"So [it's] clear from the testimony that this is not a priority for the president, protecting the election," continued Sciutto. "But also clear that he was moving the machinery of government to pursue something that undermines that defense. Repeating Kremlin talking points on Ukraine, not Russia. I just want to be clear, beware GOP sleight of hand on this argument about Ukraine interference in the election … you heard Jim Jordan talking about op-eds written by Ukrainian officials and so on. That's not the interference. Trump was repeatedly, in the testimony, talking about the DNC server, it is actually in Ukraine, et cetera. That's where the president's attention was, not on protecting the election."
Watch below:
Trump's Senate trial will be 'riddled by hypocrisy' with Ken Starr defending him: CNN legal analyst
Brad Reed
President Donald Trump's decision to tap former Whitewater special prosecutor Ken Starr for his impeachment defense team drew a sharp rebuke from former federal prosecutor Elie Honig on Friday.
"Whatever they do will be riddled by hypocrisy," Honig said of Trump's impeachment defense team during an appearance on CNN. "Ken Starr, the guy who spent years trying to throw a president out of office for lying about sex in a civil deposition, is now defending a president who has been impeached for trying to shake down a foreign country to interfere with an election. I don't know how you square that."
Tom Boggioni
Rick Santorum and CNN's John Berman got into a frantic back-and-forth on Friday morning after the former Republican senator attempted to dismiss the revelations by former Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas as something that should not be submitted as evidence in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump.
Discussing the Senate trial expected to start next week, Santorum said the only testimony and witnesses that should be allowed are ones that came up in the earlier House hearings.
"The House's responsibility to bring to us a case," Santorum stated. "They're the one who is said these are offenses that are worthy of the president being removed from office; here is the record, here are the charges. The Senate didn't impeach, the House did, so we are going to look at the record the House presented us. We're going to look at the witnesses and say are there are questions that we have for the people that brought this case forward and relied on these witnesses and look at their testimony."
Here's why some Americans don't appreciate 'extraordinary' accusations from Lev Parnas
On Thursday's edition of CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin broke down a key reason why indicted Giuliani associate Lev Parnas hasn't quite gotten across the severity of his accusations against President Donald Trump to the American people.
"Jeff, what do you think of Parnas as a witness?" asked Cooper.
"He has a distinctive style. He's very deadpan, very low-key," said Toobin. "You somehow don't realize how extraordinary story he is telling. The proprietor of a company called Fraud Guarantee, and he is going to the leadership of the government of Ukraine and saying, unless you announce an investigation of the Biden family, you are not getting the money that Congress has authorized. you are not getting the visit from the president and you are not getting an Oval Office visit. And it's true. None of it happened."

Charm jewelry bails can be added to a piece of fused glass as an accent piece or as the actual bail.
Charms jewelry can really personalize and change the appearance and design of a pendant.
There is such an array of charms from simple to elegant.
Design them for upcoming holidays or events.
The shapes, sizes and figures are limitless to choose from.
Charms can be purchased in gold, silver, gold plated or silver plated.
A charm can really add some design and pizazz to an otherwise unexciting cabochon, turning them into something distinctive and unique.
They can be securely wire wrapped to the pendant, attached with a jump ring, or glued onto the back and used as the actual bail.
If wire wrapped or attached with a bail, they will dangle and shift liberally on the surface of the glass.
This slight movement will definitely draw attention to the fused piece.
There are lots of lessons on wire wrapping on the internet.
You will need to purchase some wire wrapping tools to accomplish these techniques.
Incorporate a charm into the design to really add some spice and turn the piece into a unique piece of art.
1. Drill a hole in the glass and attach a jump ring with a charm attached.
2. Make sure that the jump ring is large enough to hold the fused piece, the charm and still have room to attach it to a necklace. Jump rings are very simple to make if you don't find the size you are looking for. Use a large tubular object to wrap wire around in a spiral and they just cut down the middle and you will have a bunch of jump rings. You can also use these larger jump rings as a bails for pendants.
3. After drilling a hole in the glass, insert the ring and attach a charm. It can be soldered for security. This works also with sterling rings.
Some individuals use engraved jewelry tag charms as jewelry bails.
These are flat rectangular or rounded charms that have a loop opening at one end.
They can be attached on the back of a flat piece, and the opening only needs a jump ring to attach it to a necklace.
Jewelry tags can be engraved with your information, eliminating the need to sign a finished fused project.
Do a search on the internet for the best pricing on these jewelry tags.
They can also be used as an attachment to your fused piece.


Krsna Lila Stava, or "The Prayers of Krsna's Pastimes", is one of the rare Gaudiya Vaisnava classics. The Krsna Lila Stava is a general skim through the Srimad Bhagavatam, focusing on Canto 10 Chapters 1 through 45, which deals with Krsna's childhood lila. There are 432 verses in this book, divided into one-hundred eight sections called "obeisances (namaḥ)." Each obeisance is essentially a prayer to a particular lila or a particular chapter from the Srimad Bhagavatam. Before starting Krsna lila, Sanatana Goswami offers his first nine obeisances to the Lord, His devotees, and His previous incarnation, keeping the spirit of the Bhagavatam. After offering his final obeisance for Srimad Bhagavatam topics in Obeisance 102, he beings to sing glories of Lord Jagannatha and Lord Caitanya from Obeisances 103 to 107. The final two obeisances are closing prayers to Krsna. Whether it is for devotees who haven't read the Bhagavatam or devotees who need bhajans pertaining to particular lila, Krsna Lila Stava is the most ideal text.

Hi everyone, since as all the libraries in the Southern Tier Library System are currently closed and you can't place holds for physical materials, nor, of course, pick up holds; for the duration of the Corona Virus crisis, I'm going to post links to the New York Times Bestsellers, in eBook or downloadable audiobook form, that can be requested, or checked out, through the Digital Catalog.
If you have questions about how to access digital content you can write a comment and post it on the blog, or send me, SSCL Librarian Linda Reimer, questions via email: reimerl@stls.org

Q: referencia de função no php Estou com um problema não consigo referenciar um metodo que esta dentro da classe:
Segue o codigo:
define("LOGIN","root");
define("PWD","");
//define("DB", "pj_fatec");
define("DB", "virtual");
define("SERVER","localhost");

class Conexao {

     public static $conn;

     public function open() {
           self::$conn = new mysqli(SERVER, LOGIN, PWD, DB);

           // Check connection
           if (self::$conn->connect_error) {
                die("Connection failed: " . self::$conn->connect_error);
           }

     }
     static function getconexao(){
         if(self::$conn){
             return self::$conn;
         }else{
             $this->open();
             return self::$conn;
        }
     }
 }

A: Olá o método estático deve definir a propriedade estática para que a mesma fique visível, tente assim:
define("LOGIN","root");
define("PWD","");
//define("DB", "pj_fatec");
define("DB", "virtual");
define("SERVER","localhost");

class Conexao {

    public static $conn = null;

    static function getconexao(){
        self::$conn = (self::$conn===null ? new mysqli(SERVER, LOGIN, PWD, DB):self::$conn);
        if (!self::$conn) {
            die("Connection failed: " . var_dump(self::$conn));
        }
        return self::$conn;
    }
}
