Photos Of Obama In Kenya That Make Us Wish We Had Come Along For His Historic Trip
By Hilary Weaver
President Obama took a little getaway to Kenya, his ancestral country, this past weekend. When you're on Air Force One, any trip to Africa is just a quick jet-set, right? But this particular visit was no casual jaunt. With his visit to Kenya, Obama became the first president to make the trip to the East African country. And after his monumental visit, the president had several camera-worthy moments. From making historic speeches to getting down on the dance floor, the photos of Obama in Kenya are truly worth perusing.
With deep family roots in the country, Obama referred to himself as "Kenyan-American" and dined with three dozen family members, where he sat between his step-grandmother Sarah Obama, whom he calls "Granny," and his half-sister Auma Obama, reported the New York Post. Though he was meeting some of these family members for the first time, this wasn't the president's first visit to Kenya. Thirty years ago, the president made the trek wearing just "jeans and a backpack."
This trip to Kenya was a little less casual, as Obama addressed the nation from the perspective of a world leader. In his parting speech, the President addressed the crowd what The New York Times called a "tough-love message." The president made the pointed comment that "Kenya is at a crossroads" when it comes to progressive change, and as he talked specifically about LGBTQ rights among other issues, he reminded residents of his ancestral country that he is "a friend who wants Kenya to succeed." Here are some snapshots of that friendship playing out over the course of Obama's Kenyan stay.
Moments That Make Us Want to Party With The President
Did you think Hillary was the only one who knows how to get down in (South) Africa? Think again. Obama brought his moves — and his wisecracks — with him this trip. Everybody loves a good slow-mo of the president dancing. And what would Obama humor be without a good birth certificate joke? Way to bring the laughs, BO.
Times That Obama Looked Positively Presidential
Well, every international trip can't be all giggles and dance moves. The president is seen here with Kenyan leaders, speaking as a leader of the United States to a country whose people and culture he calls his own. We like you when you're feeling groovy, Obama, but you pack a good "serious business" face, too.
Images That Remind Us Of The Really Progressive Things Obama Says
Coming off a month when SCOTUS passed gay marriage and made all of the progressive parts of the United States happy, Obama seemed to want to share that love with Kenya. Urging them to make changes on social issues and policy, the president also reminded us that he is just a darn good ally.

When superstar track and field coach Bill Bowerman met talented middle-distance runner Phil Knight an unlikely partnership was formed. Bowerman was looking for lighter, more durable running shoes for his Oregon University Runners, and Knight was searching for a way to make a living without having to give up athletics all together. The two put their heads together and came up with a shoe that featured outsoles modelled on a waffle iron – unconventional, but somehow it worked.
Bowerman and Knight named their new venture Nike, after the Greek goddess of victory, and began selling their shoes from out the boot of a car. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown into a sports industry market leader, and its distinctive 'swoosh' logo is arguably the most recognisable brand logo on the planet.
Despite this success, Nike's mission statement remains the unchanged: To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. Because if you have a body, you're an athlete.

Intel, Nvidia Sign Patent Cross-License Agreement
By Mark Hachman on November 19, 2004 at 1:10 pm
Nvidia Corp. and Intel Corp. signed a patent cross-licensing agreement Friday morning, in a deal that will pave the way for Nvidia nForce chipsets that support Intel's microprocessors.
The agreement was structured in two parts. Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., agreed to license its processor front-side bus technology to Nvidia, and the two sides also signed a patent cross-license agremeent. Terms of the licensing deal were left vague: a statement accompanying the announcement said only that the deal was a "multi-year" contract.
The deal allows both sides to expand their businesses, unfettered by legal constraints. Moreover, Santa Clara, Calif.-based Nvidia should essentially double its theoretical market share by signing the deal, analysts said, through an expansion into the Intel chipset market to which rival ATI Technologies has enjoyed access through its own license agreement signed in 2001. The ATI-Intel license was later updated to include the Pentium M and the 800-MHz processor bus.
"When you look at the deal, it's really a win-win for everybody," Nvidia spokesman Bryan Del Rizzo said. "If you look at the available market, AMD holds about 20 percent, while Intel is about 80 percent."
Del Rizzo indicated that the potential technologies involved ranged from Nvidia's SLI technology, which includes the ability to pair two graphics cards together for improved performance, to markets like the server and mobile space. He declined to comment specifically on the technologies involved, although sources close to the companies indicated that Nvidia will now be able to legally design chipsets for the mobile and server markets.
Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy also declined to comment on the terms of the deal, or its provisions. "As you may know, Intel has signed multiple cross-license agreements with other companies," he said. "This is consistent with that approach."
Examined from just a chipset perspective, the deal allows Nvidia to become a larger fish in a fairly small pond. During the third quarter, Nvidia actually outsold ATI in chipsets, capturing 4.5 percent market share to ATI's 4.2 percent, despite being prevented from selling an Intel chipset. Intel itself holds about a 60 percent share, according to Dean McCarron, an analyst with Mercury Research in Cave Creek, Ariz., who provided the market-share figures.
Intel competes with its licensees in the market for Intel-compatible chipsets. However, if one removes the chip giant from the equation, the remaining portion of the Intel-compatible market that Intel does not serve equals the potential AMD-compatible chipset market, McCarron said.
The deal is not a technology transfer, where details of particular technologies and how they are implemented are exchanged. That said, the cross-license does include the patents Nvidia holds on its graphics and video cores, Intel's Mulloy said. While Nvidia's GeForce graphics lines compete with ATI's Radeon graphics technology, both are seen as technically superior to Intel's integrated "Extreme Graphics" cores, which are exclusively found within Intel's chipsets. When those chipsets are factored in, however, Intel holds a commanding 39 percent lead in the graphics market, analysts said.
"Nvidia had two options: one was a bus license, and one was a protected foundry approach," McCarron said, referring to a strategy where chips are manufactured at chip foundries which have signed their own licensing agreements. By extension, chips produced there are considered exempt from legal constraints, a strategy Via Technologies used to produce Intel-compatible chips while it fought a patent battle with Intel. The two sides eventually signed their own cross-license agreement in April 2003.
"This is by far the cleanest way of doing it," McCarron said. "In doing it this way their existing base of tier-1 OEMs will have no concern about using this product from a legal perspective."
In other Nvidia news, the company and Asustek announced the first SLI-compatible motherboard, the A8N-SLI, on Wednesday.

The F-Word: What Feminism Means to Teens Now
Girl power is very much alive and kickin'.
Julia Rubin
What does it mean to be a feminist? While the F-word may still conjure up images of bra-burning and the radical '60s to some, modern feminism—now in its so-called "fourth wave"—is diverse, inclusive, and very much on the minds of teen girls. In fact, from taking a stand against slut-shaming to starting their own feminist clubs, high school and college students are at the forefront of the still-evolving (and still important) movement.
Readers share their thoughts—and you should, too. Make yourself heard in the comments below!
Sarah H., 18, from Michigan
"I just recently became interested in feminism when I began taking a liberal studies class in September. We talk about many different topics, but when we discussed gender discrimination, it really stuck with me. I was shocked to hear that it still exists in our world today, which is why I chose the subject for my final paper. The deeper I get into my research, the more my feminism strengthens. I'm beginning to analyze songs, music videos, and even workplaces with a whole new perspective. More women should be educated on these issues!"
Emily O., 17, from Ohio
"Growing up, I was a huge tomboy (notice the word 'boy' in that term?). I didn't get why my mom didn't want me to run around in the dirt, get scraped up, and climb trees. I want my children to be who they really are—not what gender roles tell them they should be—and feel confident and whole in their bodies. Believe it or not, Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my feminist heroines. She had this constant cloud of stereotypes over her because she was blonde, pretty, and little. No one thought she could kick butt or think quick on her feet to get out of a tricky situation. She helped me realize that I can be smart and tough, and people can get over what they think I should be."
Simone F., 18, from New York
"Growing up with a mother who has a master's degree in feminist and gender studies did predispose me to being a feminist. During most of my high school years, I struggled with her agitation about the world's lack of justice. But as I grew older, I came to understand and appreciate her frustrations. I call myself a feminist because people use it as an insult, the dirty F-word with which no one—especially a woman—wants to be associated. The difficulties I've found in trying to discuss gender issues that I think are important and others find unnecessary bother me to no end."
Colleen B., 17, from Florida
"I really hate the fact that so many celebrities today shy away from the label "feminist" like it's a bad word. To me, being a feminist is wearing makeup if I want to wear makeup or fixing cars if I want to do that. I can't stand girls laughing when guys say something like, 'Go in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.' How is that okay? My mom always taught me that it's fine to fall in love and get married and have kids, but first you need to follow your dreams without a boy. She told me that girls need to learn to be alone to figure out who they really are."
Morgan E., 20, from Illinois
"Without hesitation, I identify myself as a feminist. I've been an active feminist since high school and consider myself an advocate. I was raised with the knowledge that women are equal to—and just as powerful as—men; I credit my independence and strong will to the fact that my parents educated me on the importance of women in society. By creating awareness about these issues, we can truly change the world around us."
Emily K., 18, from California
"My school's feminist club was founded at the beginning of the school year, and currently has 35 active members. It serves as an open forum for students to discuss their feelings about gender equality; they're even working on a documentary to submit to the Feminist Film Festival here in our town. In addition, the club partnered with the WISTEM (Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) club to host several female guest lecturers from a local university. My friend and I started WISTEM because we felt like girls often shy away from more difficult math and science classes at our high school. We hope to encourage young women to challenge themselves and have confidence in these types of subjects."
Sarah L., 18, from New York
"I identify as a feminist because it simply doesn't make sense for women to be treated any differently than men. Living in Montreal for college, I'm terrified to walk home at night by myself and that should never be the case. I only became interested in feminism within the past couple years—I never really understood what it meant or why it was so important until I became aware of how it affects me and the people I love. Blogging communities like Tumblr have helped me learn about feminism and what I can do to fight for it. Really, being a feminist is simply caring about human rights."

The suite features hand-crafted finishes and one-of-a-kind furnishings, combining the comfort and confidence associated with Bentley and the impeccable elegance of The St. Regis brand. Located on the fourth floor of the hotel, the custom-designed one-bedroom Bentley suite features a spacious entry foyer, generous living room and dining area, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the hotel's beautifully tended gardens, lavish bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and dedicated dressing area.
On entering the 195-square-metre suite through a pair of double doors, guests are greeted by a blend of cream and neutral tones, set against the rich wood finishes, elegant marble floor and leather accents on hand-crafted furnishings. The entrance to the suite features Bentley-painted walls with polished steel detailing and a sleek walnut veneer ceiling.
In the living room, an exquisite LED chandelier inspired by the headlights of the Mulsanne takes centre stage above the 12-seater smoked fiddleback veneer dining table. Providing absolute comfort and relaxation, an ultra-luxe fluted linen leather sofa is accompanied by two camel hide ottomans, with Bentley's signature diamond quilting, to complement the seating arrangements. Adding to the room's rich mix of textures is a carved rug reminiscent of the matrix grille on the Mulsanne.
Consistent with Bentley's 'hidden delights' concept, the main wall slides back to reveal a television screen and five Breitling clocks keeping time across major gateway cities.
The adjacent study echoes Bentley's signature Mulliner room with veneer walls, a silk carpet, and a luxurious sofa adorned with cushions featuring Bentley seatbelt detailing. The signature room features a custom-made multi-compartment coffee table featuring Bentley ice lacquer and porpoise hide tray detail.
The master bedroom displays fluted Bentley leather walls, bedside tables inspired by the Mulsanne Speed wing emblem in Burr walnut and carved textured carpets reflecting the iconic matrix grille. Light features are made from backlit domes of Bentley paints and in the dressing room; Bentley's signature diamond detailing is etched into the frame of the glass mirror.
Designed and engineered at Crewe from the ground-up, the Mulsanne is the pinnacle Bentley model and epitomises Bentley's heritage, with its passion for power and speed. In addition to the Bentley suite, The St. Regis Dubai offers guests an exquisite Bentley Mulsanne as its signature in-house car.
The St. Regis Dubai marked the debut of the St. Regis brand in Dubai when it opened in November last year. The hotel is part of the Al Habtoor City development on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai's first fully integrated urban resort which features two other Starwood hotels under the distinct W Hotels and Westin brands as well as The Hotel Collection, The Leisure Collection and The Residence Collection.
Featuring French beaux-arts architecture and neo-classical interiors, the 234-room hotel features 52 suites with impeccable detailing and luxurious touches. This is complemented by eight distinctive culinary venues, an Iridium Spa, a fitness centre and two rooftop outdoor swimming pools.

You can make as much money as you want in this business if you are motivated to do so and put forth the effort to make it happen as per my instructions.
I started out in this type of business with a $50,000 investment in the world's leading ceiling cleaning business franchise in 1989. I discovered many flaws in the traditional cleaning methods, and the marketing of the services.
The results were unpredictable, not consistent with the Franchisor's claims, and poor to marginal in many instances. Additionally, there was a significant risk of collateral damage on every job. I blew out electrical systems, bleached carpets, streaked walls, damaged furnishings, and more, doing things their way. When I had problems, they weren't there to help.
Worst of all, the level of customer satisfaction was less than expected.
After two, 5 year contract terms I couldn't take it anymore. I left the franchise system to do things my own way. It was a great decision! Now I serve the same customers and address the same problems. I do so now without the risks and broken promises, and with a stellar record of customer satisfaction.
I have developed many improvements over what I've learned since 1989. Proprietary techniques, tips, and tricks, to ensure delivery on promises and a valuable services to my clients.
I will teach you how to make an outstanding full time income working in your spare time.

On Air: Business of Government Hour
Top researcher says Space Force needs more balanced strategy to deliver short term results
The Space Force is taking a lot of flak from Congress for not producing expected results, especially considering the service has been around for nearly two years.
The Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles Directorate director is advocating for a more balanced architecture for investment and planning in order to not only tackle long-term problems, but also deliver short-term results.
"I am disappointed at the pace at which we've been able to move to a...
"I am disappointed at the pace at which we've been able to move to a more resilient space architecture, but there are a lot of factors to consider and we are not just starting — from nothing," said Col. Eric Felt during a Tuesday National Security Space Association event. "We're starting from some great capabilities that we have today. There's a lot of thought that needs to go into how do you evolve those into the future."
Felt said it is his job to show people in the military that it is not frightening to do new, innovative things.
"We have to do this new stuff if we want to stay ahead of our competition and make sure that our space capabilities are there — when we need them the most and when our warfighters need them the most," Felt said. "I think that my role in accelerating change is to burn down the technical risks and show that we actually can do some of these future things proliferate."
Felt pointed to LEO, using commercial broadband services from low-earth orbit, as a good example of how the Space Force is using its status as a small military branch to embrace taking risk.
The Space Force put its latest request for information out for LEO in March.
Felt added that the Space Warfare Analysis Center is helping the Space Force navigate its way through complex risk choices.
"The function is extremely important in being able to make data driven decisions on what is the best future architecture to enhance the resilience and remain agile to respond to these unexpected threats," he said.
Congress, which legally created the Space Force, has been disappointed in the service's speed in acquisition.
"I thought the new Space Force and the revival of the old Space Command were supposed to give America better options," Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), and chairman of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee, wrote in a recent opinion piece in War on the Rocks. "The clock is ticking because the United States has been inviting an orbital Pearl Harbor for decades."
The House Appropriations Committee is also getting impatient.

"The committee remains concerned that the Air Force has not taken more aggressive action in addressing longstanding space acquisition issues and has made little progress in defining what the Space Force will be doing that is fundamentally different than when it was a component of the Air Force," the members of the committee wrote. "The Space Force lacks a clear plan which defines its future space architecture and lacks a strategy for how this architecture will be acquired."
One of the committee's main concerns revolves around Space Systems Command, which is in charge of the acquisition and fielding of space equipment.
"The plans for establishing the new acquisition unit, Space Systems Command, consist primarily of renaming the Space and Missile Systems Center and incorporating existing space launch units," the lawmakers wrote. "The plan does not resolve the fundamental issues of overlap and duplication in roles, responsibilities and authorities among the various other space acquisition units in the Department of the Air Force."
The lawmakers are pushing the Air Force to find a space acquisition professional to serve as the assistant secretary of the Air Force for space acquisition and integration as soon as possible and to move authority to that position.
The law requires that the position be created and filled by October 2022. However, there are still questions over what the role would look like.

Of all the months of the year, December is the one where we all remember and celebrate miracles: the miracle of light in a Jewish synagogue, the miracle of birth in Bethlehem, the miracle of fire that would not burn a saint (Lucia), the miracle of cycles and seasons in the Winter solstice, and renewal and remembrance in Kwanzaa. That is part of what makes this month and this season so special – the rituals of remembrance and renewal that have become traditions.
In between these two traditions our residents are offered a variety of activities designed to encourage friendships and family. Some are planned and some will be spontaneous (like our Holiday Lights Tours), but we all will find that there is more than one way to celebrate the season.
This month, of all the months, we look to our miracle(s) to remind us of our humanity, our connection to others both past and present. Sacred or secular really doesn't matter as long as we stop and reflect on our own miracles and find renewal in our friends and families. So, from the staff and residents at Gates Mills Club, our wish for you is to have yourself a merry little… Hanukkah / Christmas / St. Lucia / Solstice / Kwanzaa / Whatever!
And, in 2016… we wish you the best New Year ever!

One of the most challenging and important goals of the 2025 plan is to end street homelessness in Minneapolis. To do so, engaging the public and educating them on the best ways to make the most impact for those in need is essential.
The 2025 plan's ending street homelessness committee continues to convene a cross-sector of public, private, non-profit and street outreach individuals who are working together to create a plan that will ultimately help reach this important goal. This year, the committee launched a new website, www.mplsgivechange.com, along with a campaign that will help raise awareness about ways our community can pitching.
Because of how it is impacting downtown Minneapolis, the Ending Street Homelessness Public Education Initiative was selected as one of this year's 2025 plan leadership award winners. It will be recognized on October 2 at the mpls downtown council annual gala.
The mplsgivechange.com website is focused on showcasing opportunities for people to engage and most effectively make a difference. This includes giving—not only financially, but giving time through mentoring or helping serve hot meals, donating toiletries or other needed essentials, and more.
The website also has a donation function and outlines why it is a more efficient way to give. Not all panhandlers are homeless, and many of those who are experiencing homelessness choose not to panhandle because it feels degrading. One of the more important communication goals in helping end street homelessness is that giving spare change to panhandlers on the street is not the answer. Contributing to proven programs focused on long-term solutions is far more effective. By doing so, your contributions will go toward efforts that will truly help those in need through giving resources for providing homes, delivering social services like drug and mental health treatment, offer job training or meaningful activities to those experiencing homelessness, and more.
The website donations go toward initiatives in our community that will help work toward ending street homelessness. Past donations from the ending street homelessness committee have gone toward YouthLink street outreach expansion, St. Stephen's Human Services' engagement protocol, Hennepin County Library's Teen Tech mentor program, and Avenues for Homeless Youth's housing stability/eviction protection fund.
This initiative is continuing to bring people together to work toward this important goal. With continued efforts to educate the community, the committee hopes it will make strides toward ending street homelessness by the year 2025.


Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) is an important figure in 20th century literary history: his plays, such as Waiting for Godot and Endgame, have acquired a world-wide reputation, and his novels have proved important touchstones for the critical debates in contemporary literary theory. Born in Dublin, Beckett spent most of his writing life in France and wrote equally well in French and English; his German was also fluent, allowing him to direct his own plays in German theatres. Any attempt to deal with Beckett must therefore consider the critical response his works have provoked in all three languages. A Critique of Beckett Criticism is the first attempt in book form to give a comprehensive survey of the history and scope of Beckett criticism in French, English, and German. Three parallel chapters examine the three major strands of Beckett criticism, retracing its development using a historical perspective and pointing out different trends, currents and fashions in opinion. Directions for further research are also suggested. P.J. MURPHY is a lecturer in contemporary British literature at the University College of the Cariboo, British Columbia; WERNER HUBER is a professor of English literature at Chemnitz University of Technology; ROLF BREUER is professor of English literature at the University of Paderborn; KONRAD SCHOELL is professor of French literature at the P dagogische Hochschule Erfurt.


Stagecoach recently launched a £1.8 million investment in 9 new low emission 'Gold' buses for its' route, X46/X47 which runs between Thrapston, Raunds, Higham Ferrers, Rushden, Wellingborough, Earls Barton and Northampton.
Passengers using bus route X46/X47 will be travelling in style from now on, as the buses have environmentally sourced Italian leather seats; free WiFi for passengers to stay connected on the move; an environmentally friendly engine designed to help cut exhaust emissions; specially trained drivers in a new uniform and a striking metallic paint livery.
The upgrade to route X46/X47 follows the introduction of Stagecoach Gold buses to route X4 in 2011 which have been a great success and have been exceptionally well received by passengers.
The new buses were jointly launched by Peter Bone, Member of Parliament for Wellingborough and Rushden & Andy Sawford, Member of Parliament for Corby and East Northamptonshire at Stanwick Lakes, as the service runs through both their constituencies.
Wellingborough MP Peter Bone said "I am delighted that Stagecoach has made this investment to improve the quality of bus travel for passengers in Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire. I am sure that the new buses will be well used and will benefit many people.
Corby and East Northants MP Andy Sawford said "Route X46/X47 provides a vital link between communities in East Northamptonshire.
"Adding refinements such as Wi-Fi to buses gives people an opportunity to do more with their journey. You can't use your phone, tablet or laptop while driving but can do so while travelling on the X46/X47. The new vehicles will encourage more people to choose to travel by bus".
Steve Burd, Managing Director for Stagecoach Midlands said: "Route X46/X47 has continued to develop over the last few years with passenger numbers continuing to grow. One of the major developments was in 2011 when we introduced newer, better quality buses onto the route and now we are upgrading the service again with brand new eco-friendly 'Gold' spec buses.
"It is Stagecoach's goal to continually invest in routes which are well used and popular, and we aim to give all of our valued customers the very best level of affordable, reliable, environmentally friendly, safe bus travel".
Similar buses already operate in Northamptonshire on the X4 route (Peterborough-Milton Keynes), such as Stagecoach number 15742 illustrated here at the 2013 Showbus event.
The Focus Transport Team attended the ever popular LVVS annual November event that lived up to its good name, with a fine set of locally historic vehicles out and about for all to enjoy, be it number crunching, riding or capturing the image for posterity.
As well as the many Lincolnshire-centric vehicles out and about on the services and tours, there was also a splendid variety of visiting buses and coaches. Included were a trio of Alexander bodied saloons from Scotland. One was Eastern Scottish XA 168 a circa 1966 Bristol RELH, which is allegedly unique being the remaining manual gearbox propelled version in full working order. Chatting to the driver, nice to ride in but a bit of a beast to drive as the clutch is heavy to operate.
The vehicle is iIllustrated here in the company of two further Scottish Alexander bodied vehicles Midland Scottish MPE 405 circa 1982 and Western SMT L 2341 from 1971, both being Leyland Leopards.
And as the words on the building behind and on the bus beside them, a couple of not so young Leyland Lion Lincoln green 'uns, sat up near to the museum, prior to taking up duties on the tours and service to and from the city centre.


Blogging out Hunger~We Can't Let This Bank Fail!
My dear friend Deb of Jersey Bites invited me to join in this campaign she is coordinating on behalf of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey — the largest food bank in the state. As you are probably well aware, the Food Bank is in desperate need of donations this holiday season. With bare shelves and demand for food among state residents far out pacing supply, the FoodBank is in danger of being unable to meet the needs of New Jersey's hungry.
More than 35 million Americans, including 12 million children, either live with or are on the verge of hunger.
One out of every five New Jersey families does not earn enough to afford the basic necessities – housing, food and child care – although 85 percent of these households have at least one family member who is working.
In New Jersey alone, an estimated 250,000 clients will be seeking sustenance this year from the state's food banks. But recently, as requests for food assistance have risen, food donations are on the decline, leaving food bank shelves almost empty and hungry families waiting for something to eat.
The situation is dire, no more so than at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), the largest food bank in the state, where requests for food have gone up 30 percent, but donations are down by 25 percent. Warehouse shelves that are typically stocked with food are bare and supplies have gotten so low that, for the first time in its 25 year history, the food bank is developing a rationing mechanism.
As the state's key distributor of food to local banks – serving more than 500,000 people a year and providing assistance to nearly 1,700 non-profits in the state – the stability of replenishment of the CFBNJ is essential to ensuring that individuals in need have access to food.
To really understand the serious need for donations, just click on the link below and take a minute to view the video.
Help "Check Out Hunger:" Look for the "Check Out Hunger" coupons at your local supermarket and donate. No donation is too small!
Please look for the $1, $3, & $5 donation slips at A&P, Food Basics, Foodtown, Genuardi's, Kings, Pathmark, ShopRite, Super Fresh and Wegmans. 100% of your generous donation in the stores or at http://www.checkouthungernj.org/ will come back to the FoodBank and make a real difference in the fight against hunger in New Jersey.
Over 100 bloggers have united to fight hunger across the Garden State. Together we can fight against 'HUNGER'.
We're hoping our efforts will compel everyone to do something, anything, to help.
healthy even tho you want to eat out more.
Hope this helps anyone who eats out alot.
Its been really long time to see you blog. I hope everything is going good with you.

Scrutiny of Statutory Instruments in the spotlight following Supreme Court judgement
The Supreme Court's judgement that the government's prorogation of Parliament was unlawful was due in part to concern that the legislature's ability to scrutinise Statutory Instruments would be compromised. But as 'exit day' nears, and with a new, shorter prorogation planned, the inadequacies of the parliamentary scrutiny process for SIs become ever starker.
The Supreme Court found that "a decision to prorogue Parliament (or to advise the monarch to prorogue Parliament) will be unlawful if the prorogation has the effect of frustrating or preventing, without reasonable justification, the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions as a legislature and as the body responsible for the supervision of the executive" (paragraph 50).
Public Law Project intervention: in defence of scrutiny of SIs
In evidence to the Supreme Court, one of the interveners, the Public Law Project (PLP), argued that in proroguing Parliament for so long, the Prime Minister had failed to have due regard for the impact that this would have on the "special parliamentary controls devised by Parliament in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018". This referred to the sifting process whereby designated committees in both Houses of Parliament assess whether a Statutory Instrument (SI) made under the Act and subject to the negative scrutiny procedure should be upgraded to the affirmative scrutiny procedure, and therefore have to be actively approved by both Houses before it can become law.
Hansard Society SI Tracker research utilised in Supreme Court case
The Public Law Project has been monitoring Brexit SIs since the turn of the year as part of its SIFT (Statutory Instruments: Filtering and Tracking) project, using the Hansard Society's Statutory Instrument Tracker to support its research. In its submissions to the Court, PLP utilised data derived from our SI Tracker to support its arguments.
PLP argued that as a consequence of the lengthy prorogation, the government would have to resort to greater use of the 'urgency procedure' in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, whereby an SI can become law before it is scrutinised by Parliament and can remain in force for 28 days after being made by the minister, when it will fall unless approved by both Houses. This, PLP argued, would have the effect of circumventing parliamentary scrutiny and denying parliamentarians "the proper opportunity to debate secondary legislation of real moment amending primary legislation."
The Supreme Court justices clearly found this argument compelling. The President of the Court, Lady Hale, noted in her statement announcing the judgement on 24 September that the only evidence provided by the government to justify the prorogation decision was a memorandum from the Prime Minister's Director of Legislative Affairs, written on 15 August. As Lady Hale stated, this memorandum "does not discuss the impact of prorogation on the special procedures for scrutinising the delegated legislation necessary to achieve an orderly withdrawal from the European Union, with or without a withdrawal agreement on 31 October."
Events move on: a lawful prorogation
Nearly a fortnight from the conclusion of the Supreme Court case, events have moved on. A new prorogation is planned to take effect from the close of parliamentary business on Tuesday 8 October, suspending Parliament for two sitting days (assuming that neither House would have sat on Friday) and seeing it resume with a Queen's Speech at the start of a new Session on Monday 14 October. One consequence of this is that a clutch of urgent SIs have been scheduled by the government for approval by both Houses of Parliament before prorogation takes effect.
Brexit SIs laid since 4 September: an increase in the number laid under the 'urgent' procedure in the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018
Since 4 September, 24 Brexit SIs have been laid before Parliament. Of these 24 SIs, none has been laid as a proposed negative SI subject to the sifting process under the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018. One of the SIs has been laid subject to the 'draft affirmative' procedure, and 11 have been laid subject to the 'made negative' scrutiny procedure. But the rest – 12 Brexit SIs – have been laid using the urgent 'made affirmative' scrutiny procedure. These 12 Brexit SIs have been laid by six different government departments and agencies (HM Treasury – 4; Department for Transport – 2; Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy – 2; DEFRA – 2; HM Revenue and Customs – 1; Food Standards Agency – 1).
In the Supreme Court case, the government indicated that at the time it had used the 'made affirmative' urgent procedure on 11 occasions since the start of September. The government's legal team indicated that ministers planned to lay a further 35 Brexit SIs under this same procedure in October. As we have now had 12 SIs laid using the procedure since the start of September, a further 34 such SIs may be laid over the next three weeks. If this were realised, it would mean 46 'urgent' SIs being laid in less than two months to prepare for a possible no-deal exit at the end of October.
Prior to September, the urgent procedure had been used to lay Brexit SIs on 22 occasions, between 22 January and 19 July. The latest developments thus represent quite an increase in the volume and regularity of the use of this procedure – one that, it should be remembered, ministers said they anticipated using very rarely.
Pre-prorogation scrutiny blitz on 'no-deal' SIs
As a consequence of the peak in 'urgent' SIs laid plus the impending prorogation, Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 October will see parliamentarians blitz their way through the scrutiny of a clutch of 'no-deal' SIs that were laid in the week that Parliament returned after the summer recess and before the abortive prorogation.
On Monday 7 October, MPs will be asked to approve 11, nine of which are 'urgent' SIs under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to deliver Brexit-related legislative changes. Of these nine, all are having their debate (in a delegated legislation committee) on the same day, immediately before MPs must vote. (One of the non-Brexit SIs due for approval on 7 October, on Northern Ireland governance, is also being debated immediately before the votes, but in the Chamber.)
At the other end of the Palace, the House of Lords will consider seven of these same Brexit SIs for approval, plus a further three that have not yet been scheduled for approval in the Commons. Of these 10 Brexit SIs to be approved by Peers, nine of them have been laid using the urgent 'made affirmative' procedure.
From 'draft affirmative' to 'made affirmative'
One of the SIs set to be approved by both Houses on 7 October is the Trade in Animals and Animal Products (Legislative Functions) and Veterinary Surgeons (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. It replaces an SI originally laid before Parliament on 26 June and subject to the draft affirmative procedure. As such, it would have had to be approved by both Houses of Parliament before it could be 'made' by the minister and become law.
However, this 26 June draft affirmative SI was withdrawn on 5 September (before either House debated or approved it) and replaced with a new SI, with the same name, but laid using the urgent procedure as a 'made affirmative'. As such, it became law immediately on being made by the minister and will remain law until 17 October, by which time both Houses must approve it.
DEFRA explained the rationale for this switch from the 'draft affirmative' to the 'made affirmative' procedure to the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee like this: "this approach ensures that the instruments will be on the statute book when the EU will vote in October on the UK's request to be approved as a third country for the purpose of trade in animals and animal products after exit." Similar provisions made earlier in the year were rendered obsolete following the extension of the Article 50 period and the delay to exit day. Labour's shadow spokesperson for the environment, Baroness Jones of Whitchurch, has laid a 'regret motion' to be debated in the House of Lords along with the approval motion, outlining her concern that the government is using the urgent procedure to make an SI for a 'no-deal' scenario despite the fact that the House of Commons has passed the Benn Act (the European Union (Withdrawal) (No.2) Act 2019 requiring the Prime Minister to seek an extension of the UK's membership of the EU if neither a Withdrawal Agreement nor a 'no-deal' exit has been approved by 19 October).
Approving a defectively drafted SI
One of the 'made affirmative' SIs due to be approved on 7 October by both Houses – the Product Safety, Metrology and Mutual Recognition Agreement (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 – has been found by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI) to be defectively drafted. The government itself has acknowledged this defect but, believing that the commencement provisions will still work, and that the mistake "will not have any practical or legal consequences", is pressing ahead. However, as the JCSI noted, the mistake is likely to confuse users of the legislation.
Approving SIs to manage traffic in Kent in the event of a 'no-deal' exit
Two of the SIs due to be approved in the Lords on 7 October – one subject to the 'draft affirmative' scrutiny procedure and the other the 'made affirmative' procedure – concern how the government proposes to manage traffic in Kent in the event of a 'no-deal' exit from the EU. In its latest report, published just four days before the SIs are due to be approved, the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee has drawn the draft Heavy Commercial Vehicles in Kent (No. 1) Order 2019 and the Heavy Commercial Vehicles in Kent (No. 2) Order 2019 to the special attention of the House of Lords on the grounds "that they give rise to issues of public policy likely to be of interest to the House."
Delegated Legislation Committee: considering an SI to correct deficiencies and omissions
Meanwhile, on the committee corridor, three Delegated Legislation Committees will also be held on Monday 7 October in the House of Commons to consider affirmative SIs not scheduled for approval by the whole House the same day. Of the three SIs to be debated, two are to prepare the statute book for Brexit day. One of these two Brexit SIs, the Human Medicines and Medical Devices (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, has been laid by the government to correct deficiencies and omissions in two earlier SIs.
Correcting mistakes – whether in the text of the SI itself or in the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum (EM) – has been an ever-present problem in the production of Brexit SIs, as it is with SIs generally. The Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee notes that 7% of all SIs in the 2017-19 session required corrections and 7.6% of all EMs had to be replaced. However, these figures may themselves have to be revised, because the SLSC's 60th Report of the 2017-19 session was a thematic report on the Work of the Committee in Session 2017-19 published on 10 September, the day after what proved to be an unlawful prorogation. The session still had more life in it and will not formally come to an end until 8 October. Although prorogation may have been "expunged" from the record, a number of actions cannot simply be undone – and the number of select committees in both Houses that rushed to publish their reports in time for prorogation, when otherwise they might have taken more time, is one of them.

Last year Chloe and Damien got in touch to see if I was available for their wedding at The Ashes Exclusive Country House Barn Wedding Venue Staffordshire, Endon, Stoke-on-Trent. Luckily for me I was. Myself and Damien once frequented the same Product Design class whilst at Sixth Form so the whole day was a nostalgia trip for me to be honest. Even though we had a small shared path it wasn't Damien who contacted me. Chloe made contact through a recommendation of a previous friend from primary school. I do love the way different people dip in and out of your life in this way. I often spend time thinking about the vast number of people I have come to know over my many years walking this beautiful planet.
Chloe and Damien were happy to book without a first meeting so I didn't actually meet Chloe and reconnect with Damien until our last meeting before the big day. There was no fear to be had though, Chloe was lovely and right down my street with the excitement behind her big day. It just left the rest of the guests to convince I was actually an all right guy.
Chloe and Damien's day at the The Ashes Barns was a lovely late afternoon affair with loads of time outside in the breezy sunshine to be had. The Ashes Barns has a brilliant No Corkage Drinks policy, I don't understand it fully but basically from what I understand you can supply your own alcohol right up until the bar opens later on. This was a fantastic feature as everyone could remain part of the day rather than queue at the bar. Also it does help add an extra bit of slippery-ness to those late night dance moves. Click here to find out more.
The Ashes Barns is nestled in a 50 acre estate which we got to roam to find some amazing photograph opportunities. Chloe and Damien were my favourite kind of couple. They were keen to just let me be me. Capturing the day from my angle, leaving the professional to do his job. Have faith in your photographer like Chloe and Damien and he will produce a unique gallery for you.

Remember when brunch was a noun? Now brunch is so much more than a meal eaten between early morning and afternoon. Brunch is an activity, a hobby, a highlight in a weekend full of activity. It's written (sometimes eye-rollingingly so) on T-shirts.
But you don't have to have a #brunchsquad shirt to appreciate this meal that's become celebrated as the perfect weekend food, the antidote to a hangover and the time to get together with friends without the pressure of dressing up for an 8 p.m. reservation.
Brunch is unique in that it covers any number of types of foods. Classic breakfasts, like eggs Benedict and Belgian waffles, are expected on a brunch menu. But it also is common to see sliders, lox, tacos and even dessert masked as a meal on a brunch menu.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8 mini tart pans with nonstick spray or spread generously with butter.
Press one refrigerated biscuit into bottom and up sides of each tart pan. Spread each piece of dough with pesto. Evenly sprinkle with bacon and cheese. Break egg onto cheese in each tart.
Place tart pans on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy handling. Bake 18-22 minutes or until biscuit is golden brown and egg is cooked through. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove tarts from pans. Serve warm.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine pancake mix, buttermilk, eggs, mashed bananas and cinnamon, stirring with whisk until most lumps disappear. Do not overmix.
Heat griddle or nonstick pan on medium heat. Lightly grease or brush with butter. Pour ¼ cup batter to make each pancake. Turn when bubbles form in the middle of pancake. Pancakes are done when bottoms are golden brown. Serve with syrup, sliced bananas and pecans.

Since I've been working in film and TV, looking to further gather experience and accomplish myself as a performer and artist.

Bernie Madoff has said all along that JP Morgan knew about – and knowingly profited from – his Ponzi schemes.
So JP Morgan has agreed to pay the government $2 billion to avoid investigation and prosecution.
While this may sound like a lot of money, it is spare sofa change for a big bank like JP Morgan.
It's not just the Madoff scheme.
As shown below, the big banks – including JP Morgan – are manipulating virtually every market – both in the financial sector and the real economy – and breaking virtually every law on the books.
The failure to go after Wall Street executives for criminal fraud is the core cause of our sick economy.
And experts say that all of the government's excuses for failure to prosecute the individuals at the big Wall Street banks who committed fraud are totally bogus.


Two teenagers have now been charged with murder in the murders of three people at the Seward Market and Halal Meat in Minneapolis. The two will be charged as adults Prosecutors say Ahmed Ali told them he and Mahdi Ali went to the store the evening of Jan. 6 with the intent of robbing it and that Mahdi Ali shot the three men inside.
Here's the criminal complaint against Ahmed Ali. And the one for Mahdi Ali.
The shooting started when Anwar Mohamed walked into the store during the robbery and was shot. It says Mahdi Ali then ran out of the store, chased by Mohamed Warfa, who was shot and killed in the doorway. Mahdi is then charged with running into the store, chasing down, and killing Osman Elmi as he tried to make a call on his cellphone.
Warfa and Elmi were cousins. Elmi worked at Seward Market and Halal Meats at E. Franklin and 25th Aves. Warfa visited him with a hot cup of Somali tea.
Last week Police Chief Dolan backed off the robbery angle, and that was after his people had seen the tapes. I assume they were translated into English for the police by then.
Second, there were lots of rumors that it was a political assassination of some type, but no one came out and said, that it was a robbery in order to stop those rumors.
Then the county delayed filing charges twice because it was a difficult case. Two kids walk into a store, botch a robbery and leave, with 8 video cameras, is not a difficult case. That's as cut and dry as you get. Why the delay?
Something is fishy here. But the media doesn't seem to be asking any questions. Either is the community.
The complaint is pretty descriptive about what happened and the video will be shown at the trial so I don't think they doctored the complaint. As described, that's not a "hit." That's someone shooting someone who was chasing him, then going back to get rid of the witnesses.
Why did Dolan back off the robbery angle? I don't know but generally cops don't like to tip what they know ahead of time.
As for the delaying filing charges, someone who knows says it involves charging them as adults rather than as children.
My sense is that the police were (and may still be) looking for a 3rd suspect (perhaps a getaway driver) and this is why they stayed silent on the motive behind the murders and kept asking for extensions on the deadline to file charges.

'Everything clouds over and goes dark' – Iniesta on depression at Barcelona
The Independent April 24, 2020	Insight, SPORTS Leave a comment
Iniesta left Barcelona in 2018 after winning nine La Liga and four Champions League titles with the club
Madrid, Spain | AFP | Andres Iniesta has described his struggle with depression while playing for Barcelona, which his mother says was a "bottomless pit" that caused her 25-year-old son to ask to sleep with his parents.
Iniesta recalls his experience with the illness in a Rakuten TV documentary, 'Andres Iniesta – The Unexpected Hero', which was released on Thursday and covers his move to Japanese side Vissel Kobe in 2018.
After winning the Champions League under Pep Guardiola in 2009, Iniesta was battling injury and then hit by the death of his friend Dani Jarque, the 26-year-old Espanyol defender who suffered a heart attack.
"The days pass and you realise you're not improving, you don't feel good, you're not yourself. Everything clouds over and goes dark," Iniesta said.
On Jarque's death, Iniesta added: "That was like a body blow, something powerful that knocked me down again and I was pretty low, clearly because I wasn't very well."
Iniesta's depression is described by those closest to him, including his mother Maria Lujan and father Jose Antonio.
"I noticed he wasn't well one night when we were sleeping downstairs and he came down and said, 'mum can I sleep here with you?'" Maria said. "Then the world came down on my head."
Jose Antonio said: "Our 25 year-old son coming down at midnight and wanting to sleep with his parents means he can't be well. He said, 'I'm not well dad'. I said, 'what's wrong?' 'I don't know, I don't feel well.'"
Iniesta's father admitted he thought his son might have to take a break from football. "At one stage I thought he would have to stop because the most important thing was him," said Jose Antonio.
Iniesta began having sessions with psychologist Inma Puig, who said the Spaniard's recovery owed much to those around him, including Guardiola.
"Guardiola said this is the first time I've been in this situation as a coach," said Puig. "I remember he said, 'the most important thing now is Andres, the person not the player'."
"They're people and this is a very human thing which affects millions of people around the world," said Guardiola. "They have to know we are there for them."
"Guardiola tried to get him out of that bottomless pit he was in," said Iniesta's mother Maria.
Iniesta came through Barcelona's La Masia academy and went on to win nine La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues with the club.
He also lifted the World Cup with Spain in 2010, after scoring the winning goal against the Netherlands in the final.
Despite receiving a hero's farewell from Barca, Iniesta hinted his relationship with the board influenced his decision to go to Japan.
"People at the club never imagined I could leave," Iniesta said. "It's like everything, in relationships if you don't discuss things at the right time there comes a time when there's no way back."
