Also having this issue. Makes the product unuasable for me. I'm only interested in having a completely empty inbox so this defeats the purpose. I changed every setting I could think of. Tried everything.

Review: "Pretty Deadly, Vol. 01"
By Keith Dooley, August 6, 2014
Comic book characters have become the "new" mythology, as writers such as Grant Morrison have so eloquently stated on many an occasion. Superheroes are now the new deities, with the rich storytelling potential beyond endless for these inspirational and aspirational characters. The proliferation of superhero films and their popularity over the years is just one example of comic book characters' ubiquity in the worldwide culture. However, superheroes are not the only vessels in which grand and metaphorical storytelling can be expressed within. Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, with artist Emma Ríos and colorist Jordie Bellaire, has created a rich metaphorical tale with the book "Pretty Deadly". DeConnick and the artists involved have crafted an intricate world that celebrates the power of storytelling and it's endlessly imaginative possibilities. Demanding multiple readings, this dream-like book entertains as it inspires. Like every great storyteller, DeConnick compels the reader to ponder the universal emotions and truths that are sometimes hard to face. With Ríos and Bellaire (along with expert letterer Clayton Cowles), DeConnick has collaborators that make her story come alive and shine.
The world introduced by DeConnick, Ríos, and Bellaire takes place in a fable-like setting. Each issue in this first volume has Bones Bunny recall the book's events to Butterfly. In the beginning of the first issue, a tale is told of a woman named Beauty who is imprisoned by her lover, Mason. When Death comes to visit Beauty, they fall in love. Beauty eventually gives birth to their baby, Deathface Ginny. Death takes the child away and raises her to be "a reaper of vengeance". Other characters populate this book, such as a blind man named Fox and the child he protects named Sissy who wears a coat resembling a vulture (feathers and beak included). Other characters appear at times and then aren't seen again until later on in another issue, but never confusing the reader. One must immerse themselves in this book and ignore the need to follow the minutiae. Letting this tale wash over you in waves (both small and gargantuan) as it occurs is the only requirement in finding both enjoyment and great depth in the intricacies of this book. Each individual reader will gain something from this artistic team's fable and will quite possibly be moved to tears over the universal (and sometimes intense) emotions that include sadness, joy, and frustration.
DeConnick has created, with Ríos and Bellaire, powerful new characters in Deathface Ginny, Fox, Sissy, and the rest of the "Pretty Deadly" cast. Each character personifies a part of humanity's journey, with the metaphorical shading of each one of them adding to, but not hindering, the fun of the book. Deathface Ginny is propelled by her need for vengeance. Fox is racked with guilt and on a search for redemption. Sissy is an intelligent little girl who desperately wants answers to the meaning of her life and the world around her. The other characters on the periphery are integral to the story as well and are vital to the tale's tapestry. Each one aids the book in building to the conclusion of its first arc. They are all interconnected in a natural way and add to the rich canvas that DeConnick and company are building upon as "Pretty Deadly" progresses toward directions that promise to delight and surprise.
"Pretty Deadly" does not fit any one genre. It has a little bit of a spaghetti western flavor mixed with magic, sword and sorcery, the horrific and the macabre, and a little bit of superheroics and action thrown in to make a storytelling stew unlike anything else on the shelves. DeConnick is able to entertain with this mix of styles while telling a tale that is much deeper than what the surface contains. Through different motifs strewn throughout these first issues, DeConnick's rich metaphors come to vibrant and, at times, subtle life. Feathers, fire, the yin and yang of the sun and moon, and skeletal bones are just some of the motifs that make their presence shown for reasons that are begging to be explored.
DeConnick's writing is gorgeously enhanced by the art of Emma Ríos. Her art is reminiscent of artist Paul Pope, but she has transformed that influence into a style all her own. Like Pope, Ríos' art has a perfect mixture of reality and the macabre. Many of the characters' faces have deep lines and are far from perfect. Some, like Big Alice, have ethereally smooth faces. No matter who resides on any given page, pure expression shines through these characters. The macabre is evident in Deathface Ginny and the skeletal lines adorning her face. From the fantastical (Bones Bunny and Butterfly) to the heartbreakingly human (Sissy), the imperfections of each individual contributes to the magical world created by DeConnick.
This scene gives a whole new meaning to bed head.
Through the simplicity of her art, Ríos creates great beauty. In a scene between Johnny and a prostitute, the purple hues of the prostitute's hair blends into the purple of the bed where both characters lie. In a scene such as this, Ríos proves she is inventive and can create a scene of great beauty and intricacy in simplicity. She is also a genius at page layouts and dismissive of the classic ideas of the splash page and the rigidity of panel placement. In one gorgeous two-page spread, Big Alice's scene on the left side contrasts and blends in amazingly into the scene on the right involving the Night Maid and the Day Maid. One mysterious world blends into an even more mysterious realm, with Jordie Bellaire's colors enhancing pages that can be experienced in all their grandeur without having to read one word.
Inventive art and layouts mix with vibrant colors to create a work of art.
Bellaire is deserving of the high praise she receives for coloring what seems to be a vast amount of titles. She puts so much thought into her choice of colors and, like all the books bearing her name, has enhanced and contributed greatly to "Pretty Deadly". The fable-like and otherworldly quality of the writing matches the artwork flawlessly. The fiery yellows and oranges light up flashbacks told by Sissy at the beginning of the first issue. Intensely dramatic, the colors match the drama of the action. In the same issue, Bellaire is able to make a blue night sky into something much more complex and ominous than the average sky of another comic book. She is one of the best colorists because she is able to make a world pop magnificently off the page. The book comes alive because of her artistry and, like Ríos' art, helps express the magic and metaphor of DeConnick's story.
"Pretty Deadly"'s story is one of vengeance, forgiveness, and rebirth. It's the story and exploration of humanity's deep, and sometimes violent, emotional depths. DeConnick has created a memorable mythology to stand tall next to the best of the superheroic myths that have survived for decades. The storytelling skills of DeConnick intertwine with the art of Ríos and Bellaire to create a book that, like life itself, has the capability to instill both wonder and horror.

NEW YORK, United States, March 28, 2008 – The Caribbean's positioning as a valuable and viable brand has taken a step forward with the launch of the Caribbean Tourism Development Company's (CTDC) new consumer travel site.
CTDC, the marketing and business development unit owned equally by the Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA) and the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO), presented the new site – www.caribbeantravel.com – to members of the travel press, describing it as a colorful and content-rich site designed to be the central portal to all things related to Caribbean travel.
Director of Caribbean Franchise Development for Choice Hotels International, Caroline Racine said the new website represented "another landmark initiative in Caribbean collaboration".
Choice Hotels International is the strategic hotel partner of the CHA. It franchises more than 5,300 hotels in the United States and 40 other countries and territories.
"The Caribbean has only scratched the surface to increase its share of international travel and tourism revenues, and this branding strategy should help reap rewards not just for the businesses that operate in the region, but for the people and communities who call the Caribbean home," Ms Racine said.
Secretary General of the CTO and co-CEO of the CTDC, Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace said the goal of the new site was to create a one-stop shop for travellers and travel agents with all necessary information, images and vacation offers at their fingertips.
"Our goal since day one of the creation of the CTDC has been to create buzz and business for the Caribbean," said CHA Director-General Alec Sanguinetti, who doubles as co-CEO of the CTDC.


Slip and fall accidents can occur at any time and in any place. These seemingly harmless accidents have been determined by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as the leading cause of head injuries in children under 18 and adults over 60 years of age, and the leading cause of wrist, knee, hip, and tailbone injuries of people in the 18-60 year age group. Slip and fall accidents also account for a significant amount of injuries to the spine.
1. If I fall on a broken sidewalk, is the city held responsible for the injuries I received?
This is the most common slip and fall FAQ that is asked of injury attorneys. In most cases, the municipality is responsible for the care and maintenance of the sidewalk and therefore is responsible for injuries received when it is in disrepair.
2. Do property owners have an obligation to keep a property safe during bad weather?
Every property owner has an obligation to keep their premises safe. This includes putting out water mats, wet floor signs, and mopping the floor to keep it dry when it is raining or snowing, or ensure that there is proper snow or ice removal in areas that have this type of weather.
3. What if I was warned that there was a hazard and I fell anyways?
This is a slip and fall FAQ that should be asked more often. Even if you have been warned that there is a potential danger and then you fall, you have the right to seek compensation for your injury and losses in a slip and fall accident. The fact that the building owner / manager warned you that there was danger implies that they knew that danger existed and did not take the necessary precautions to correct the situations.
4. Who should I notify when I was injured in a slip and fall accident?
You should notify the owner or management of the company immediately if you have fallen on their property. If you have fallen in a public place, such as a city sidewalk or parking area, notify emergency services immediately and have a report filed.
5. The hand railing broke on the staircase and I fell, is this a slip and fall accident?
Yes. Property owners have a duty to keep stairwells maintained for public safety. This includes making sure the stairs are free from debris, the stairway is well lit, and the hand rails are in working condition.
6. I was a guest at my neighbor's home and fell, can I claim for a slip and fall accident?
This is a slip and fall FAQ that can be very tricky to answer. In many cases, the homeowner who invited you to their house is responsible for the accident if there was no way that you knew there was a danger.
7. How does the Court determine that the property owner should have been aware of the danger that led to the fall?
The Court will examine the evidence and determine if the owner of the property should have known of the danger. They will look at things such as what caused the accident and if it is something that was obvious or should have been obvious to the owner.
8. Should I get a medical exam when the slip and fall occurred, or wait to see if there is anything wrong?
Seek medical attention immediately when you fall. Sprains, strains, and fractures may appear to jest be sore or achy at the scene of the accident. It is always in your best interest to seek a medical exam, especially if you have hit your head.
9. How long do I have to file a claim for slip and fall?
The Statute of Limitations varies by jurisdiction. However, you may have between six and 24 months to file a claim for your losses based on where you live.
10. When should I consult an attorney about a slip and fall event?
Because the Statute of Limitations vary, it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible after the accident occurred to protect your rights to seek compensation.

Did You Know: Hot Places
Yuma, Arizona, is the hottest city in the U.S., based on normal daily maximum temperatures. It is also the city with the highest recorded temperature, 124 degrees F (51 degrees C).
A temperature of 136 degrees F (58 degrees C) was measured at Al Aziziyah, Libya, making it the highest recorded global temperature on record.
The highest temperature in the U.S. was recorded at Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913. It reached 134 degrees F (57 degrees C) on that day.
Occasionally during a thunderstorm, odd heat bursts can occur. One such incident occurred in Glasgow, Montana, in September 1994. At 5:02 a.m., the temperature was 67 degrees. At 5:17 a.m., a heat burst hit, sending the temperature up to 93 degrees. By 5:40 a.m., it was back down to 68 degrees. Only two U.S. states have record highs no greater than 100 degrees--Alaska and Hawaii. The record for the most consecutive days above 100 degrees F (38 degrees C) is 160 days in Marble Bar, Western Australia. This occurred from October 1923 to April 1924.
Oxford at Iron Horse in North Richland, Texas goes out of our way to ensure that you live the lifestyle you have always desired and deserved. We hope you enjoyed these facts about hot places.

The word «tilgjengelighet» is the Norwegian word for accessibility. To make something accessible means facilitating use to include people with disabilities; often through use of temporary measures, such as installing a ramp in a staircase.
Universal design is about everybody being able to use a building or an area, without such temporary measures. The key word is "everybody". The term universal design is often associated with people with disabilities, which contradicts the vision of Ron Mace of the Center for Universal Design, North Carolina, who first coined the term.
Equitable use – i.e. the design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.
Tolerance for error – the design minimises hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.
Size and space for approach and use – appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of the user's posture or mobility.
These principles shall function as guidelines for designers and planners of buildings, outdoor areas, transportation, web pages, machinery, etc. – in other words, anything that is relevant to finding your way in society.

Kulwicki Champ Brings 'The Underbird' to Snowball Derby
The 52nd Annual Snowball Derby has turned into a bit of a throwback race for California racer Jeremy Doss. After spending most the year in the Pro Late Model scene in his home state, he will make a return to Super Late Model racing sporting an Alan Kulwicki throwback paint scheme.
In his second season participating in the Kulwicki Driver Development Program, Doss was crowned champion in what was the tightest competition in the program's history. To honor Kulwicki and KDDP, he brought the famous "Underbird" scheme to Five Flags Speedway for the biggest short track race in the country.
"I was a part of the Kulwicki Driver Development Program and it was my final year in it, I just wanted to do something for Alan, something big to pay my respects," Doss told Speed51.com. "It's been an honor to be a part of the program and what better way than to bring a throwback car of his scheme to the biggest Super Late Model race of the year."
Despite several memorable paint schemes to choose from, it was an easy choice for the 2018 SRL Southwest Tour champion. The Hooters paint scheme Kulwicki took to the 1992 NASCAR Cup Series championship has always been a look Doss has enjoyed.
"This one just kind of popped out to me. It's his championship throwback scheme, it has always been my favorite one, so I really wanted to go to that one."
Doss credits his experience in the Kulwicki Driver Development Program for improving him not just as a racer, but also as a person. While the success behind the wheel went up in 2019, the time spent in the community did as well, and he considers the KDDP championship a big honor.
"It's special, I wasn't sure where we were going to end up in the deal. The program throughout the year just made me a better person," he stated. "Giving back to the community wasn't something I really took part of before being in the program. It's been an honor to give back to the community. Our racing program really stepped it up this year and we won a lot of races at the same time. It's just special to be a part of it and it's an honor to win the thing."

I got sent the fusion fruit flavoured Grenade bars. If I'm honest, I wasn't overly excited to try this flavour as it didn't sound very appealing to me. I'm not alone with this view as it says on the Discount Supplements product page only 3% of customers try this flavour. However, after munching on my first bar…I enjoyed it. Nothing out of this world, but for a protein bar it was pretty nice.
Not bad for a flavour I'm not a big fan of.
It was a little powdery but this is to be expected with most protein bars that are trying to squeeze in as much protein as possible.
They're also pretty strong smelling, which I put down to the dried cranberry content in the bar. This isn't a bad smell that will put you off though, so no need to worry about this.
The cost of these bars are very cheap from Discount Supplements. You can easily end up spending £2+ per protein bar, so the fact they only cost just over £1 per bar is very good going.
And you can get free post and packaging on all orders over £50, helping you save even more when you put in a good-sized order.
If they could get the protein bars down to £1 per bar or less, I'd give them a perfect rating of 5 stars.
There's 291 calories per bar which is very high for what it is. So you might want to save these bars for when you're bulking. The reason the calorie content is high is because rapeseed oil is one of the main ingredients. This is a good source of healthy (unsaturated) fats that will help lower your LDL cholesterol levels.
With 18.6 grams of protein per bar, this is a good serving of protein. It's not the biggest serving I've ever seen in a protein bar, but it's enough to keep protein synthesis levels ticking over.
I'm pleased to see that this bar is a pretty healthy one. No nasty artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame which will damage your health if consumed on a regular basis. Instead Grenade have taken a more natural approach and have included cranberries, raisins and apricots. These natural fructose sugars will prevent your blood sugar levels from crashing and give you increased energy throughout the day.
I would recommend eating these protein bars after your workouts, as the rolled oats and soya protein content can have mild sedative effects. Consequently your adrenaline levels will decrease which isn't ideal before a workout. If you really want to eat these before a workout it should be fine, as long as it's 3 or more hours beforehand.
The only thing I'd change in terms of the ingredients, if I was going to eat these bars on a regular basis, would be the soya protein content. There's no questioning that soya is a great source of protein, but there's evidence to suggest soya could decrease testosterone levels. Saying that, you'd have to eat a few of these bars every day for it to have a significant effect on your testosterone count. So ultimately this is nothing to worry about if you're eating these bars sparingly or in moderation (like most people would).
As previously mentioned, I wouldn't eat these bars whilst cutting as they're pretty high calorie. However, they would be a great purchase for when you're bulking, easily bumping up your calories.
I enjoyed the taste of these bars with a flavour I'm not particularly keen on, so I'm sure I'd love the chocolate browning flavour which is a customer favourite (82% of customers buy this).

Saudi court sentences poet to death for renouncing Islam.
Ashraf Fayadh, a Palestinian poet and leading member of Saudi Arabia's nascent contemporary art scene is being sentenced to death for renouncing Islam. On Tuesday, the Saudi court ordered the 35 year olds execution. Fayadh was originally sentenced to four years in prison and 800 lashes by the general court in Abha, but he was re-tried last month and the new panel of judges ruled that his repentance will not prevent his execution. Fayadh was not even assigned a lawyer because his ID was confiscated when he was arrested in January 2014.

Colombian clan could lead researchers to Alzheimer's Cure.
In Colombia, Alzheimer's is called "La bobera", meaning, "the foolishness". To 47 year old Pedro Julio in 1984, also known as Patient No.1, Alzheimer's robbed him of his ability to farm. Dr.Francisco Lopero was the physician on staff that day in 1984, and it puzzled him to see such an early-onset of Alzheimer's. Intrigued by the surprisingly high amount of patients with early-onset Alzheimer's, Lopera travelled through the countryside to interview families. For centuries, villagers thought it was because of a curse. Lopera has discovered that the sickness stems from a rare mutation on chromosome 14. Carriers of the paisa mutation are guaranteed to develop the disease, usually in their 40s. The clan's bloodline is currently being studied, in hopes of raising possibilities for developing a cure.

On 21 November, 2015, Mali woke up to a state of emergency. This was due to a supposed terrorist attack on a hotel in the capital, Bamako. As a result, the 10-day state of emergency begun, in addition to the 3 days of national mourning for the 19 whom were killed. However, it appears that the attack did not rattle the population significantly, as for the past 3 years the country has been on alert to Jihadi threats. Though the attack was rather severe, the president has stated that the country will still not be a closed border zone, like other countries that have experienced recent terror attacks.

With his boss Susan Watson, Manu hopes to launch an international charity foundation called to give donations to the people of Ghana, along with training in the agricultural. This would aid many civilians in developing countries in learning how to generate profit through agricultural produce. He hopes such an effort may reduce their struggles.
Susan Watson was inspired to aid Manu's tribe after he invited her for the ceremony. Afterwards, she decided to learn more about Ghanaian culture, resulting in the creation of the non-profit organization. The coronation is taking place in January 2016, and Watson will attend along with performing charitable works.

After Syrian militants claimed responsibility for over 300 lives in the recent Paris attack and destruction of a boarded airliner, Russia decided to increase their offence against Syria. One of the nation's crewmembers wrote "For Paris" on a multitude of bombs, as a symbol of their support for the terrorized city. In addition, this was also seen as a sign towards the strengthening an alliance between the Kremlin and the West.

How Oregon's defense can do what no one has done yet: Slow down Jermar Jefferson
/ by Ashley Young
The Oregon Ducks defense has a unique challenge in front of them and will have the opportunity to accomplish what no other Pac-12 team this season has done just yet.
Containing Oregon State running back Jermar Jefferson.
Download and subscribe to the Talkin' Ducks Podcast.
The 5'10", 217-pound junior running back has recorded back-to-back-to-back 100+ rushing yard performances so far this 2020 season. Against Washington State in week one, Jefferson put up 120 yards on 21 carries and three touchdowns. Oregon State also utilized the back in the passing game targeting him five times for 50 yards. The following week at Washington, he put up 133 yards on 23 carries and one touchdown.
Last Saturday, it didn't take long for Jefferson to have an impact. He broke for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the game against Cal and finished with 196 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown.
First play and IT'S A JERMAR JEFFERSON TOUCHDOWN!

"Look at last week, comes right out of the gates and goes to the house," said Oregon defensive coordinator Andy Avalos. "Great vision. Great vision in the outside zone. Is patient, is a very patient runner and uses his vision very well and when he hits that thing, he hits it. He's a bigger back that has that explosive step then he hits the crease and he hits it.
"He's got the speed to take it the distance so, as always, it starts with being really disciplined and physical up front to control our gaps and be able to move with that outside scheme zones that they run."
Currently, the Ducks defense is in the middle of the Pac-12 conference in terms of rushing yards allowed to opposing offenses (188 yards per game). Oregon gave up 197 yards on the ground against the Stanford Cardinal in week one and then only 100 on the ground to Washington State in week two.
Last Saturday, however, was not so good.
The Ducks gave up 267 rushing yards to the UCLA Bruins and senior running back Demetric Felton had 34 carries for 167 yards and two touchdowns. That needs to drastically improve for the Ducks with Jefferson up next.
How will the Ducks do just that? Junior inside linebacker Isaac Slade-Matautia has the answer.
"We're going to have to work on tackling. That's our biggest downfall right now. With a back like him, he's very physical, he can move, he's very shifty and he's patient behind his o-line. His o-line moves very well so they give him time to make a move. It starts up front with the d-line and then just have the linebackers and secondary come downhill to make the tackle."
"He's got everything the great backs have," said Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal. "Starts with great vision and then you go and start talking about his speed and his power, his explosiveness. He sets up blocks really, really well. He can make you miss, he can run over you, he can run through you, he is effective out of the backfield catching the football. He blocks really, really well. He's got an excellent offensive line…
"I think he himself, with the gifts that he has, plus the scheme and supporting cast, make for a really challenging offense to stop."
It will take a group effort to bring Jefferson to the ground and it just may be the difference maker in the outcome on Friday.
Welcome to the next chapter of this historic rivalry that dates back to 1894.
The No. 9 Ducks (3-0) and Beavers (1-2) will kickoff at 4:30 PM (PT) on ESPN at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon.


Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Division are investigating a series of 8 burglaries that occurred at homes along LA Highway 182 and LA Highway 87 from Verdunville to Jeanerette. The first in the string of criminal incidents was reported in late January. Detectives collecting evidence at each of the locations found similarities between the burglaries and developed a suspect.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for the residence of 37-year-old Brad Devonce Vincent. Wednesday evening, detectives went to Vincent's residence on Denea Street in New Iberia and conducted the search warrant with the assistance of the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office. Detectives found several stolen items and other evidence linking Vincent to the crimes. Vincent was arrested by the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office for illegal possession of stolen goods and is being housed at the Iberia Parish jail. Continuing the investigation, St. Mary detectives obtained 3 warrants for his arrest on the charges of burglary. Those warrants remain active at this time.
Detectives are currently in the process of returning some of the stolen items to the rightful owners. As the investigations progress, detectives will continue to be in contact with the residents affected by these crimes.
The cases remain open and are actively under investigation. Anyone with information on the burglaries can reach the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office at 337-828-1960 or by email at crimewatch@stmaryso.com.
We will release additional updates on these cases in the future.


Climate change is a grave threat faced by humankind. Changes in the environment – reportedly largely due to greenhouses gases released into the atmosphere by human activity – threaten to make earth uninhabitable for humans.
Today, man and nature seem to be struggling to survive each other. It was not always so. Earlier, people were close to nature. They studied natural phenomena minutely, and watched in awe the creation, change and destruction caused by forces of nature, and so they attributed divinity to nature.
Myths from nearly every part of the world featuring gods and goddesses of trees, rivers and mountains are expressions of the value that the ancients attached to nature, and their gratitude for the sustenance it provided.
The Vedas contain hymns glorifying the earth as mother, and extolling air, fire and water for their power and the services they render to humans. It was understood that the well-being of the planet depended on conserving each of its constituent elements, so people took from nature only what was needed, not more. This kind of harmony between man and nature is one of the characteristics of Satyug, the Age of Truth, described in the Hindu texts.
People in ancient societies were more in touch with spiritual truths. Consequently, spiritual values such as purity, peace and generosity found expression in their actions, and they were not beholden to material desires. Over time, material inclinations began to inform human actions, and that changed man's relationship with the natural world.
The unnatural climate change we are experiencing is the manifestation of a change in the climate of human minds over the past several centuries, whereby reverence for nature has given way to unbridled greed. The quality of the environment is shaped by the quality of our consciousness.
Industrialisation provided the motive and means for plunder of the earth for profit. While nature can replenish itself to sustain life, the mercenary appropriation of its resources and unchecked pollution of the environment have overwhelmed its capacity to do so, destroying the ecological balance that allowed countless varieties of creatures and plants to live on this planet for millennia.
Man's greed lies at the root of the environmental crisis facing us today, and the solution to it is with each one of us. We can adopt lifestyles that encourage need-based consumption, sharing of resources and minimum wastage. Simple act, such as use of public transport and recycling, can make a big difference when done by large numbers of people.
Planting trees is another way we can help heal the wounds man has inflicted on the planet. Trees support life in many ways, absorbing and storing carbon, producing oxygen and providing a habitat for a wide variety of creatures.
When people begin to make 'green' choices, industry will follow suit. But for this to happen, there needs to be greater environmental and spiritual awareness. When we become mindful of the environmental cost of our actions and realise that taking from nature has its karmic consequences, we will make more enlightened decisions.
Only by befriending nature can we achieve lasting well-being for everyone. This friendship will yield life-giving succour and prosperity without poisoning our bodies and destroying the only home humankind has in the entire universe.

Building on a Strong Foundation: ICAO's Precursors
Few people are aware that ICAO had a precursor. The International Commission for Air Navigation (ICAN) was created by the Paris Convention on October 13, 1919 as part of a vast post-World War I international re-organization.
France should also be recognized for having formed the very first aviation-related federation of any kind: the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale was established in 1905 as a non-governmental and non-profit organization to promote aeronautical and astronautical activities worldwide, particularly in the field of air sports, as well as to encourage related skills, proficiencies and safety measures.
There is general acceptance, however, that 1919 was the year when the international air transport industry was born, even despite the fact that the first scheduled air service had operated across Tampa Bay, Florida (U.S.A.) during the first four months of 1914.
1919 also marked the year when the precursor to the current International Air Transport Association (IATA, representing world scheduled airlines) was established, when representatives of five air transport companies from Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden meet at The Hague, Netherlands, to sign an agreement to form the International Air Traffic Association.
Up until 1919, and for many years afterwards, much of the world's commercial air transport activity was focused upon the carriage of airmail. These early, pioneering days for civil aviation were immortalized by the passionate pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in his novel Vol de Nuit, which captured the world's imagination.
From 1919 through to 1944, a number of additional and important civil aviation developments were realized which helped to create a strong foundation from which the Chicago Convention could later be realized.
In 1925 for instance, the First International Conference of Private Air Law was convened in Paris to examine airline legal obligations and to undertake the immense work of codifying private air law. The final protocol of this Conference called for the creation of a special committee of experts, la Comité International Technique d'Experts Juridiques Aériens, or CITEJA.
In 1926, an Ibero-American Convention was developed under the leadership of Spain, with Portugal and the States of Latin America, while the United Stated and United Kingdom each passed regulations relating to governance of air commerce in their territories.
In 1929, the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air was signed at Warsaw. It entered into force in early 1933. The Warsaw Convention established the conditions of international air transport with respect to the documents used for such transportation and of the liability of the air carrier (at that time about $10,000 for each passenger and about $20 per kilogram of checked baggage or goods).
Also in 1933, the Convention on Damage Caused by Foreign Aircraft to Third Parties on the Surface of 1933 was signed in Rome Italy. This later amended by the Brussels Protocol of 1938 to permit some basic defenses for insurers. Also in 1933 the first International Sanitary Convention for Aerial Navigation was signed at The Hague (without a conference) to protect communities against diseases liable to be imported by aircraft, as well as flying personnel against diseases due to flying.
The 1930s in general also cooperation amongst world airlines advance rapidly under IATA, with many new technical standards and commercial air transport regulations being developed. This included the technical standardization of cockpits, fire prevention, marine airports, and ice accumulation, as well as standards governing revenue accounting and traffic management.
While this accelerating civilian air transport development was interrupted by the Second World War from 1940-1945, the advances made during this period were instrumental to the realization of the eventual global framework now managed through ICAO.

When Meghan Markle glides down the aisle of St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday, she'll join a bevy of brides whose choice of dress on the day will become a part of British history. In 1840, Queen Victoria's white lace-and-silk gown set the trend for brides everywhere, while Kate Middleton's gown, designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, went on display at Buckingham Palace in 2011, raising millions for charity.

The royal bridal dresses, for centuries immortalized in oil paintings or photographs, have become part of the country's cultural heritage, and inspiration for brides around the world. Here, WWD looks at the impact that Queen Victoria had on 19th, 20th and 21st Century British bridal wear.
It was Queen Victoria who started the popular tradition of brides wearing white to their weddings, according to Eleri Lynn, dress curator at Historic Royal Palaces.
"Prior to Queen Victoria's wedding to Prince Albert in 1840, royal brides had worn colorful fabrics and brocades," she said. "However, there hadn't been a wedding of a Queen for many centuries — not since Queen Mary I in Tudor times — so this was something quite different to the usual royal wedding. Many people expected Queen Victoria to wear ceremonial robes, and perhaps even her crown. In the event, Victoria wore a white court dress of Spitalfields silk woven in London, decorated with English Honiton lace, and worn with sprigs of orange blossom flowers in her hair, instead of a crown or tiara."
Lynn said that one theory is that Queen Victoria had deliberately wanted to avoid the regalia of Queenship, and to present herself as a modest bride.
That's some marketing genius.

"The orange blossom has many symbolic meanings — from chastity to fertility," said Lynn. "But it had a romantic meaning for Victoria, as a brooch of porcelain, while a gold orange blossom was Albert's first gift to her after their engagement. Aristocratic brides soon followed suit and adopted white as the fashionable wedding color. It has remained the main color for wedding dresses ever since." Lynn added that it actually took until after the Second World War for middle class brides to adopt the white as it was so impractical — and couldn't be worn again.
"She also established the tradition of promoting British craft through the wedding dress," said Lynn. "The Duchess of Cambridge's dress was made from British fabrics and worked on by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace. But the royal wedding dress reflects the personality of the bride and the fashions of the time. For example, Queen Elizabeth II's wedding dress (by Norman Hartnell) reflected the boxy shoulders and cinched waist of the Forties and Princess Diana's (by David and Elizabeth Emanuel) epitomized the fashions of the new romantic early Eighties."
Royal brides also have other considerations, that the average bride may not be thinking about, added Lynn, "such as the heavy weight of a tiara or worrying about your skirt getting creased in a state horse-drawn carriage."
