Sociology Professor to speak on Left Wing Populism in Latin America
Western Kentucky University is pleased to bring Dr. Carlos De La Torre, Professor of Sociology at the University of Kentucky, to present "Assessing Left Wing Populism in Latin America" as part of the Tracing the Unexplored: Populism in the Americas series. Dr. De La Torre will be speaking at the Faculty House on the Bowling Green campus, Monday, April 11 at 4:30 pm.
Dr. Del La Torre is the former director of the International Studies at the University of Kentucky and former director of Political Students and Ph.D. program at FLACSO-Ecuador. His presentation examines why Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, Evo Morales in Bolivia, and Rafael Correa in Ecuador were elected, the similarities and differences in their regimes, and the challenges of personalism.
In its ninth year, Tracing the Unexsplored series was born in the Department of Modern Languages and brings important issues of the Hispanic world to Bowling Green and the WKU campus community.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. De La Torre on campus," said Dr. Sonia Lenk, WKU associate professor of Spanish. "His knowledge about populism will inform WKU and the community about a predominant political strategy seen in Latin America and to a lesser extent in the US."
This series is sponsored by the Department of Modern Languages, WKU Libraries, the Department of Political Science, the Department of Sociology, the School of Journalism & Broadcasting & the Office of International Programs.

When the government meddles in wages
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
If your wallet has felt a little fatter recently, you're not alone. After a decade or so of stagnation, Americans' wages are finally starting to grow, and not a moment too soon. As of this spring, wages were growing at about 3.4 percent year over year — the highest rate in more than a decade. The grim post-Great Recession slog is finally over.

By Andrew P. Napolitano
During the past week, President Donald Trump excited two bitter public controversies by sending and publishing two highly inappropriate and offensively incendiary tweets.
MSNBC mouth denies AOC socialist, says it's 'opposition research'
Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC fame said during a recent television sit-down with a couple guests that calling the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a socialist was patently untrue -- that it was simply "opposition research" garbage from conservatives and Republicans and President Donald Trump's supporters and base. Come again?
Antifa is most definitely 'a terrorist organization'
Sens. Ted Cruz and Bill Cassidy introduced a resolution to formally label antifa a domestic terrorist organization and saying, in follow-up written remarks, that the group "must be stopped," that its members are fascists "protected by liberal privilege," and that it's high time elected officials stepped in and did something. Agreed.
Tucker Carlson, Berkeley's idea of a 'white supremacist goblin'
Berkeley City Council member Rigel Robinson turned down an invitation to talk about the renaming of manholes as "maintenance holes" on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, calling the host a "white supremacist goblin" and a "racist" and a bunch of other stuff. It's always a good thing when crazy people denounce you.
Pruden irreplaceable
What devastating news to read that Wesley Pruden passed away this week ("Washington Times editor, columnist Wesley Pruden dies at 83 after remarkable six-decade career," Web, July 18). Mr. Pruden may have been a "newspaperman," but he was also an extraordinary wordsmith. I read all of his columns beginning in 1982 and ending on Tuesday with his marvelous "The four noisy horseladies of the Apocalypse." There was never a Pruden column that didn't make me laugh, introduce me to a new word or explain an issue without politically weaponizing it!
'Squad' should get to work
There is a saying in the African-American community: "Don't start none, won't be none" ("The four noisy horseladies of the Apocalypse," Web, July 15). These four congresswomen — Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Pressley and Omar — have been accusing everyone of racism ever since they were sworn in, even calling Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi a racist.
Condemn, remove anti-U.S. reps
Make no mistake: Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley are indeed anti-American, pro-Islamist cheerleaders of those who wish us and our allies death and destruction. Ms. Omar's televised gushing praise and pride in al Qaeda cannot be written off as anything but what it was: A show of hate to America, an undisguised wink of thanks to terrorists and spit in the eye of those lost on Sept 11, 2001.

The country has been lied to yet again by the Trump-hating Democrats regarding what the president tweeted about the four congresswomen, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts (now known as "The Squad," or better yet "The Hit Squad Against Democracy").

The chances of a collision with another motor vehicle or a pedestrian increase significantly when the weather or road conditions are bad. Bad weather conditions may include fog, sleet, heavy rainfall, ice, or snow. Poor road conditions may include loose road surfaces, sharp bends, and falling rocks.
Even if these conditions increase the likelihood of accidents, it is important for drivers to take personal responsibility. Drivers are required to be extra cautious when driving in these poor conditions. When drivers fail to do so, they put the lives of other road users in danger.
Drivers are required to take reasonable precautions to avoid accidents when driving under hazardous conditions. Reasonable precautions may include driving at a speed that is far below the speed limit of the highway given the conditions. This will allow the driver to have better control of their vehicle. It also allows them to identify a potential hazard more quickly and come to a stop in time to avoid a collision.
It is also important to consider other factors that may have contributed to the accident. These may include the condition of the car. For example, worn out tires have less traction and will make it harder to stop the vehicle in time to avoid a pedestrian or another vehicle. These are not likely to function effectively on a slippery road.
While drivers are often held liable in accidents involving pedestrians, there are cases when the pedestrian's actions may have contributed to the accident. Pedestrians also have an obligation to act in a reasonable way when the weather is bad. They should avoid wandering into roadways, for example during bad weather. They should also wear highly visible clothes or carry a light when walking in conditions of low visibility.
While the driver may be considered negligent for not meeting the required standard of care, the pedestrian may be found to have also acted negligently and contributed to the accident.
If you've been injured in an accident that occurred as a result of the failure of the driver to use adequate caution in hazardous conditions, you can seek compensation for your injuries. Get in touch with an experienced personal injury attorney to help.

Where to go this weekend: Squamish, B.C.
Long just a coffee stop en route to Whistler, this waterfront town has become British Columbia's favorite early-autumn adventure spot....

Sunwolf's Fisherman's Cottage (José Mandojana / Sunset Publishing)
Long just a coffee stop en route to Whistler, this waterfront town has become British Columbia's favorite early-autumn adventure spot. Writer Crai Bower shares top spots for fall fun.
Out of the big mountains' shadowWhen North America's largest (and arguably most beloved) ski resort, Whistler Blackcomb, sits just 37 miles north, it can be hard to carve out an identity for yourself. That's why, for years, travelers barely slowed down when cruising through tiny Squamish, a former railway town at the north point of Howe Sound. That all changed a year ago with the opening of the Sea to Sky Gondola, an eight-passenger car that climbs for 10 minutes to the Summit Lodge Viewing Deck at 2,900 feet. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer stomach-flipping views of the sound and the lush coastal forests of Shannon Falls Provincial Park. The gondola has become a success not just for the scenic trip itself, but also for the 2-mile-high backcountry it accesses. At the ride's end, you can snap a panoramic shot from the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge or strike out on Al's Habrich Ridge Trail, 7.5 miles round-trip, for a few hours of solitude.

Sea and be seenLike the climbers ascending nearby Stawamus Chief mountain, you get a foothold inSquamish by learning its nooks and crannies. Our first tip: Look beyond the chain store–heavy strip mall and you'll discover some of the best Japanese and Indian restaurants in this corner of B.C. (We like the palak paneer at Bisla Sweets.) Tip number two: The liveliest place for a pint and good conversation is Howe Sound Brewing Company. The Rail Ale Nut Brown pairs well with the Drunk Salt Spring Island Mussels and deep-fried pickles. If you prefer hoppier brews, you can create a tasting flight of IPAs.

Up, up, and awaySquamish has one of the area's most enviable playgrounds: a 28,000-acre patchwork of granite peaks, alpine lakes, waterfalls, and glaciers called Tantalus Provincial Park, just north of town. One thrilling way to see it? Soaring in a four-passenger floatplane with Sea to Sky Air. "You can feel a world away in less than 10 minutes," pilot Eric Lightfoot says. If you'd rather explore in a more down-to-earth fashion, Sea to Sky Adventure Company leads stand-up paddleboarding and biking tours. Navigate the Squamish River while watching for bald eagles, then hop on a mountain bike and pedal Half-Nelson, a challenging downhill run through western red cedars and Douglas firs.

What's mine is yoursIn the first half of the 20th century, most of Squamish's action was to be found underground. The town swelled to 60,000 residents (compared with 17,158 now), who flocked here from 50 countries to work in the copper and gold mines. That rich history is reimagined at the Britannia Mine Museum, in nearby Britannia Beach. It's better than ever since a 2010 overhaul added a visitor center and galleries and upgraded the train. Pan for gold, explore a 1908 machine shop (kids love it), and go subterranean on the half-hour ride inside a 1914 mine.

The best breakfast for milesSunwolf is somewhat of an all-in-one outfit for Squamish, with whitewater rafting trips, bald-eagle viewing tours, and cozy rental cabins along the Cheakamus River. But the real story here is Fergie's Cafe, which existed as a fishermen's camp for decades, long before Sunwolf opened shop on the same site. Folks have been known to drive all the way from Seattle for Fergie's house-smoked pulled-pork sandwich. We suggest eating on the sunny riverfront deck. If you can't bear to part after one plate, overnight in the Logger's Shack, rumored to be the oldest dwelling in the area.
Sunwolf has a dozen riverside cabins for rent. (José Mandojana / Sunset Publishing)

Hannay was a 1988 spin-off from the 1978 film version of John Buchan's novel The Thirty-Nine Steps which had starred Robert Powell as Richard Hannay. In the series, Powell reprised the role of Hannay, an Edwardian mining engineer from Rhodesia of Scottish origin. It features his adventures in pre-World War I Great Britain. These stories had little in common with John Buchan's novels about the character, although some character names are taken from his other novels. There were two series, the first with six episodes, the second with seven. The combined 13 episodes ran for a total of 652 minutes. One episode, A Point of Honour, was based on a story of the same name by Dornford Yates that appeared in his 1914 book The Brother of Daphne, although Yates was not credited. Another episode used a plot device from the Leslie Charteris Saint story The Unblemished Bootlegger, from the 1933 book The Brighter Buccaneer, again uncredited.

Williams vs. Bostic: Who Should Start at Middle Linebacker Sunday?
Bostic has started most of the preseason, but Williams is practicing again
Published Sep 4, 2013 at 8:07 AM | Updated at 8:14 AM CDT on Sep 4, 2013
Arguably the biggest story from the Chicago Bears' offseason was the departure of legendary linebacker Brian Urlacher, who was told that the team would opt not to re-sign him and then announced his retirement earlier this year.
With a gaping hole left in the middle of their defense, the Bears went to work trying to find a suitable replacement for the man who will find his way to Canton someday. For starters, they brought in free agent LB DJ Williams, and then they followed that up by drafting LB Jon Bostic in the second round of April's NFL Draft.
Williams came into training camp as the starter on the club, but a calf injury ended up opening the door for Bostic, and he seemed to run through it. He started several games for the Bears, and was even held out of last Thursday's preseason tilt against the Cleveland Browns, seemingly signaling that he was going to be starting at middle linebacker on Sunday against the Bengals at Soldier Field.
On Monday, however, things took an interesting turn. Williams returned to practice after the weekend off for the team, and on the Bears' official depth chart that was released on Tuesday afternoon, he was listed as the starting middle linebacker, with Bostic relegated to back-up duty.
It was with that context in mind that Urlacher spoke his mind to Tom Waddle and Marc Silverman on ESPN 1000 Tuesday afternoon. "I like the decision with DJ," he told the hosts. "I know the young kid had a good preseason but it is the preseason. He did well for what they asked him to do, but I like putting DJ in there."
The Williams vs. Bostic battle for the MLB spot Sunday is an intriguing one for Bears fans to keep an eye on, simply because it will provide a window into head coach Marc Trestman's thinking. He has already decided to keep all six rookies that the team drafted in April, as well as three undrafted free agents that the Bears brought in, but starting Williams would show that the team is serious about utilizing its veteran talent as well.
Ultimately, if Williams is healthy, Urlacher is right and DJ should be the one starting in the middle. The Bengals are a team with a versatile arsenal of weapons, with QB Andy Dalton able to both throw the ball to tight end tandem Tyler Eifert and Jermaine Gresham, as well as All-Pro wideout AJ Green and hand it off to rookie Giovani Bernard.
That kind of balanced offensive attack is going to require a linebacker with a complete skillset to compete against, and despite his successes in the preseason, there are areas of Bostic's game that need work in terms of catching up to the speed of NFL games.
What do you think, Bears fans? Should Williams get his spot back as the starter, or should Bostic's preseason performances buy him a spot in the lineup?

Er versorgt den Musculus supinator und vor allem die Fingerstrecker. Entsprechend äußert sich das Supinatorlogen-Syndrom mit einer Schwäche der Fingerstreckung ("Fallfinger"). Sensibilitätsausfälle finden sich nicht, was vor allem die Abgrenzung gegenüber weiter proximal gelegenen Radialisläsionen ermöglicht. Ätiologisch kommen Luxationen bzw.

World-renowned former Navy Seal Jocko Willink coined the phrase "discipline equals freedom".
It seems counter-intuitive that being more stringent leads to liberation. But financial discipline gives you more money and choices, a disciplined time-management system allows you to be spontaneous and more free with your schedule, and a disciplined nutrition and exercise regimen keeps you free from health issues.
We have adequate control over many of the variables we care about. The amount of freedom we have is simply the result of operational effectiveness of disciplined systems.

Fort Worth mom accused of slashing 4-year-old daughter's throat, dumping body in trash
A Fort Worth mother is accused of slashing her 4-year-old daughter's throat and then dumping her body in a backyard trash can.
FORT WORTH, Texas - A Fort Worth mother is accused of slashing her 4-year-old daughter's throat and then dumping her body in a backyard trash can.
Police say they were called to a home Monday on a missing child report in the 2100 block of Hurley Avenue just before noon Monday.
Krystal Lewandowski, 34, called 911 Monday around 11:35 a.m. to report her 4-year-old daughter missing, according to an arrest affidavit.
Lewandowski told the 911 operator she last saw her daughter in the backyard. After more questions, she later said, "Ok, maybe I should just tell you now. Ok, so last night I was advised to slit her throat," according to the affidavit. She admitted to wrapping up her body and putting her in a trash can in the backyard the night before.
Once police arrived to the scene, an officer found the baby's body in the backyard in the trash can.
The arrest affidavit states Lewandowski told investigators that she "saved" her daughter and prevented something worse from happening to her.
Lewandowski was arrested and charged with capital murder. Her bond has been set at $750,000.
CPS confirms the family does have history with the agency, but details are confidential.
CPS said there is a 1-year old boy who also lives at the home. He is not in state custody now but CPS is making certain he is safe and properly care for. Medstar officials said paramedics also took the child to the hospital for an evaluation.

Nel 2004 sono stati realizzati 4 OAV che riprendono la trama dell'opera originale. L'ambientazione del manga è quella del paranormale con diversi spunti di erotismo, quasi sempre inseriti durante le gag comiche.

Trama
Saiki Misaki è una giovane ragazza che lavora come dominatrice sadomaso in un club privato. Il lavoro la impegna a tempo pieno ma, sotto compenso, si presta diverse volte ad indagini condotte da Soichiro Kadotake, un uomo che spesso si vede incaricato di scacciare gli spiriti che infestano luoghi di interesse o abitazioni. Saiki infatti è una negromante in grado di vedere i fantasmi e parlare con loro. La stessa Saiki ha però un misterioso potere: è infatti in grado di comandare una frusta vivente, Kinui, che porta attorcigliata al suo corpo e utilizza per difendersi dagli aggressori.

In ogni capitolo si assiste ad una nuova investigazione da parte della giovane e del suo compagno, che spesso mette questa in imbarazzo (ad esempio: cadendole addosso e aggrappandosi ai suoi vestiti la spoglia in pubblico).

Personaggi principali
Misaki Saiki
Dominatrice e negromante. Il suo lavoro è quello di soddisfare i piaceri carnali di uomini sadomasochisti, ma anche quello di sciogliere dal legame terreno le anime in pena che infestano appartamenti e altri luoghi della città. In grado di comandare una frusta vivente, si mostra spesso matura, quasi sempre irritata da Soichiro Kadotake e Mitsuru Fujiwara.
Mitsuru Fujiwara
Compagno di Ai, insegue continuamente Misaki, che chiama "regina". È un pervertito e si serve della sua macchina fotografica per spiare la ragazza, ma a volte si rivela d'aiuto nel risolvere particolari casi.
Soichiro Kadotake
Incaricato a difesa della salute dei cittadini, spesso deve trovare il modo di sgomberare abitazioni da fantasmi e anime in pena. Ma lui è terrorizzato dai fantasmi e così lascia tutto nelle mani di Saiki.
Ai Kunugi
Studentessa e compagna di classe di Fujiwara. Vittima dell'uomo che ha ucciso sua sorella e sua nipote, viene aiutata da Saiki e presto sviluppa anche lei il potere di vedere e parlare con i morti.

Manga

Anime
Nel 2004 sono stati tratti dalla serie 4 OAV che seguono la storia originale. Anche qui, le poche scene erotiche sono inserite in un contesto comico, come ad esempio il problema intimo di Saiki e il fanservice è quasi sempre funzionale agli sketch comici.

Q: Prevent overflowing title in Bootstrap 4 navbar I have a bootstrap 4 responsive application which displays the title of the currently select page for mobile users beside the navigation menu toggle button. If the title is too long, I would like it to be automatically shortened with ellipses. However, I can't get that to work. The title is not shortened and the navbar line is wrapped so that the title is under the menu toggle button instead of beside it.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus tristique, dui vitae pharetra
            sollicitudin, felis metus dignissim sapien, at sodales libero massa condimentum dui.

How can I achieve an automatic shortening of the title and non-wrapping of the menu bar?

A: The solution is to add the text-truncate class AND also this style="max-width: 210px;" to the span.
216px seems to be the maximum you can do for 320px wide screens. So, I chose 210px to give it a bit of a breathing room on the smallest screens.
Here's the code:

A: Bootstrap 4.5
I think the the best solution here is to wrap the .navbar-brand and .navbar-toggler in an additional flexbox that has the .flex-nowrap and .w-100 styles applied to it.  Then, in the .navbar-brand, apply the .text-truncate style which will stop the text from causing the button to wrap to the next line

    Very long navbar brand text that will ultimately need to be clipped with ellipsis on smaller screens than a 4K TV
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">

Azure Store – Free MongoDB, New Relic, SendGrid and more..
I set about to put together a new app and challenged myself to do the whole architecture on azure without spending a penny. The only caveat I set was that I should be able to scale if everything goes really well.
I was amazed hat you can get so much for free, I can basically stand up a monitored, scalable architecture with no outlay and then look at scaling as needed – based on the success of my services.
This is a great proposition for any entrepreneurial devs out there, grab the tooling and put your app together with no running costs while it gets off the ground!

Terrace of the Elephants
UNESCO World Heritage Site in Angkor Archaeological Park
The Terrace of the Elephants is a striking 350-metre-long and 2.5-metre-high ornamental wall which, as the name suggests, is mostly decorated with carved elephants. It was built in the late-12th century as a viewing platform, from which King Jayavarman VII looked over his victorious returning army.
The terrace was once attached to the royal palace of Phimeanakas, right at the heart of the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor Thom. While much of the original structure has long since rotted and collapsed, the terrace itself has survived relatively intact, and the carvings along its length are still quite clear.

Terrace of the Elephants highlights
The northern part of the Terrace of the Elephants' wall contains many especially fine sculptures, including a 5-headed horse and garudas (bird-like humanoid creatures from Hindu and Buddhist mythology) as well as dancers and warriors. At the very end of the terrace, you'll get to the Terrace of the Leper King, also built during Jayavarman VII's reign.
The Terrace of the Elephants faces east, so the best lighting for photography is before noon. Interesting and photo-worthy features include the 5 outworks along its length, where you can see 3-dimensional elephant sculptures.

The Batman Director Matt Reeves Confirms Production Is Shut Down Indefinitely
By Spencer Perry - March 25, 2020 06:40 pm EDT
As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, Hollywood has essentially shut down. Movement on new projects has seemingly stalled as productions around the world have been suspended in order to curb the spread of the virus. Some of the final films to officially stop shooting were the productions in the works by Warner Bros. Pictures, with the studio announcing on the 14th that The Batman has suspended production for two weeks. Director Matt Reeves has taken to Twitter to confirm that they remain suspended for the time being, despite that two week timeframe coming to an end later this week.
"Yes, we have shut down till it is safe for us all to resume," Reeves wrote on Twitter. "Everyone safe for the moment, thank you for asking, and stay safe too..."
It remains to be seen when cameras will once again roll on The Batman, but production had only officially been going for about 2 and a half months with principal photography beginning in London in January of this year. The new film is set for release in the summer of 2021, so a delay in production may not effect its release date but once again production could be suspended for much longer.
Yes, we have shut down till it is safe for us all to resume... Everyone safe for the moment, thank you for asking, and stay safe too... https://t.co/wDhlYtphlm
We're still over a year out from the release of the new film, but The Batman composer Michael Giacchino previously said that Reeves' take is one that "feels fresh" in an exciting way.
"I do love it," Giacchino told Collider. "I think what he's doing is really cool, and it's different and it feels fresh. In the way that I get excited when I see a new graphic novel or comic book coming out with a new take on it. It feels like that."
Giacchino didn't elaborate on exactly what was "fresh" about Reeves' take, but he did speak about how much he loved the freedom in the approach that Reeves is taking with the film.
"I felt total freedom to do whatever I want," Giacchino explained. "Matt always agreed, this is our Batman, this is our vision. In the same way that I always loved, what I still do about Batman comics and graphic novels is that each of these artists, each of these authors they take their own crack at what they want this to be. It's their version of Batman."
The Batman is currently scheduled to hit theaters June 25, 2021.

Replacing Obamacare In Connecticut Will Increase Uninsured Population
by Christine Stuart February 28, 2017, 5:30 am January 21, 2021, 5:36 pm
Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who enjoys being a critic of Republican President Donald Trump, doesn't relish what will happen when Republicans get rid of parts of Obamacare.
Even in Connecticut, which explored setting up its own universal health care system prior to Obamacare, there is no money in the state budget to cover the expanded low-income population under federal government's Medicaid program.
As far as Medicaid is concerned, there's about $1 billion in federal funding at risk in Connecticut.
Malloy said Monday that Republican governors, like Ohio Gov. John Kasich, are making it clear what would happen in their state if a Republican Congress and Trump get rid of Medicaid expansion.
House Republicans have drafted a plan that calls for a rollback of the Medicaid expansion and a phase-out of federal subsidies to help low-income individuals purchase insurance.
Kasich went on the national Sunday talk shows and said he would continue to oppose that route.
Malloy, who was in Washington to hear Trump's remarks Monday at the National Governors Association meeting, said he thinks the White House and the U.S. House of Representatives are pretty much in line on getting rid of Medicaid expansion.
"It's clear that the Republican plan at least at the House and the presidential level, those two levels, is to gut Medicaid," Malloy said.
He said they plan to eliminate as many as 30 to 40 percent of the people who currently qualify for the program. He said that's in exchange for "flexibility," but there's "no amount of flexibility that would cover that 35 percent."
Malloy believes the House Republicans proposal, which seems to be backed by Trump, who also hinted he may release his own plan, would die in the Senate.
If the House Republican plan is adopted, it means a large number of Connecticut residents, who gained coverage in 2010 when former Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell was the first to take advantage of Medicaid expansion, will become uninsured.
There are nearly 765,000 individuals in Connecticut enrolled in Medicaid. This includes over 213,000 in the Medicaid "expansion" portion, according to the Department of Social Services.
Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government covered 100 percent of the costs of those expansion plans between 2014 and 2016. The cost share would have decreased over the next few years under the ACA, but under the Republican proposal it would go back down to 50 percent for the poorest Connecticut residents.
The working poor, who hover just above the poverty line and were covered under the expansion program, would no longer receive coverage. It's probable that they also wouldn't be able to purchase insurance, even with the subsidy proposals being discussed by Republicans. Instead of income, Republicans have proposed using age in order to calculate a tax subsidy.
States will likely receive about $30 billion less in premium tax credits under the Republican proposal, according to a report from Avalere Health that was prepared for the NGA meeting.
"Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated," Trump told the governor's Monday.
He went onto say that Americans love Obamacare now because they're being told it's coming to an end.
"There's nothing to love. It's a disaster, folks, okay? So you have to remember that," Trump said.
Republicans know that once they make changes to the ACA, they own it and all of its consequences. It's a reality Trump acknowledged in his remarks to the governor's Monday.
Malloy said Trump's speech to the NGA in which he started outlining some of what's expected to be in his address to Congress Tuesday was "not the most encouraging stuff I've ever heard."
He said he expects based on what he heard Monday that Trump is going to call for an increase in national security and defense spending, cut social programs, and make tax cut pronouncements that will spark a trade war.

I really wouldn't judge you if you said you had been lusting over this lip set this Christmas! I think this is enough to make any girl happy (well, one's that like liquid lipstick anyway!) and the Too Faced ones are on point, they literally do not budge! For the price, I think you can't go wrong!
Anatomicals are a brand I discovered earlier this year and their stuff is amazing. These masks are only £1.50 each and they do everything they say on the tin! Definitely need to stock up ASAP!
AKA. THE ULTIMATE DREAM! I don't own this, but my fab friend Jasmine does and she lets me use it from time to time! <3 It's SO good and the pigment is amazing. 100% need!
This candle is the ideal, fresh scent that I think anyone could love! Zoe has absolutely smashed her new product launches this year, all of them being stupidly affordable - I really take my hat off to her! At £10, you can't go wrong! Ps. The packaging is so beaut!
I was only right that I added in something on my own Christmas list! Tehe. I think the title is pretty self explanatory, so if you know anyone who is in need of some tips and motivation on how to be their own boss, then this looks like a safe bet for a gift!
This is the Christmas bath product of dreams. It smells like everything you'd imagine Christmas to smell like and lasts more than one bath too!
If you haven't heard, the I Heart Makeup's Lip Lava's are ridiculously good quality. Also pretty decent dupes of the Too Faced Melted Chocolate too, but way more affordable!
I saw this on the Urban Outfitters website the other day and it seems like such a great book, certainly one I'd want to read. I love things that give insight on how to think differently and give you self-help tips! I think a lot of people would find this useful!
Um, so these shades are to die for?! Need I say more?
I only saw these today on the New Look website, but how cute?!
Liz Earle are literally one of my favourite skin care brands! The Cleanse & Polish original is so kind to your skin and smells incredible, so I can't begin to imagine how great this is!
I hope some of these have given you some last minute ideas or given you some inspiration!

La Moschea Jama è una moschea congregazionale del XVI secolo nel sito del patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO di Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, in India. Costruita dall'imperatore Moghul Akbar, è una delle più grandi moschee dell'India e il luogo di pellegrinaggio più ambito dai devoti. È anche una delle mete turistiche più visitate nel distretto di Agra. Alcuni dei disegni della moschea riflettono l'architettura iraniana.

Storia
Akbar commissionò la Moschea Jama come parte della sua nuova capitale Fatehpur Sikri. La struttura fu uno dei primi siti costruiti nella città e fu completata tra il 1571 e il 1574, secondo le sue stesse iscrizioni. La moschea era in onore dello Shaikh sufi Salim Chishti, consigliere spirituale di Akbar. Doveva anche servire come khanqah (scuola monastica) per i discendenti dello Shaikh. A suo tempo fu decantata da vari autori e viaggiatori per la sua bellezza e grandezza.

La moschea ha avuto un ruolo nei progetti religiosi di Akbar. Nel 1579 vi pronunciò la khutbah per una preghiera congregazionale alla quale parteciparono gli abitanti di Fatehpur Sikri. Mentre alcuni dei suoi antenati avevano già fatto questo, la lettura della khutbah era tipicamente riservata ai leader religiosi (come un imam) e quindi era percepita dagli ulema come radicale. Anche Akbar si unì alla popolazione nella loro preghiera e fu persino visto spazzare i pavimenti della moschea. Kavuri-Bauer sostiene che tutte queste azioni erano mosse consapevoli da parte di Akbar, che usava la moschea per ritrarre se stesso come un sovrano divino piuttosto che come un normale sovrano.

La Moschea Jama a Fatehpur Sikri rimase un "simbolo dell'eredità e dell'orgoglio Moghul" dopo il governo di Akbar. La moschea era molto ammirata dal figlio e successore di Akbar, Jahangir, che la definì una delle più grandi realizzazioni architettoniche di suo padre. Jahangir discusse a lungo del complesso della moschea con suo figlio Khurram durante un soggiorno a Fatehpur Sikri nel 1619. Khurram divenne poi l'imperatore Moghul Shah Jahan e citò questa moschea come modello per la sua Moschea Jama a Delhi .

Architettura

La Moschea Jama è situata sul punto più alto della cresta rocciosa su cui si trova il sito di Fatehpur Sikri. È posta su un plinto rialzato, costruito in modo da fornire una superficie piana. Il complesso della moschea è circondato da mura di cinta; appena fuori dalla parete meridionale si trova un grande baoli (pozzo a gradoni ottagonale). Simile al resto di Fatehpur Sikri, la moschea è fatta di arenaria rossa estratta localmente. Impiega anche arenaria gialla, marmo e ardesia per la decorazione e presenta la calligrafia persiana e araba.

Al momento della sua costruzione, la moschea era la più grande dell'India Moghul. Rappresenta una fusione di architettura islamica, indù e giainista, con una marcata influenza gujarati. Asher afferma che la moschea trae elementi dalla moschea Jama di Mandu e dalla Moschea Jama di Chanderi, entrambe strutture pre-Moghul. Alfieri vede anche un'ispirazione dalla moschea Jama pre-Moghul, ma cita invece quelle di Atala e Champaner.

Porte
Al complesso della moschea si accede tramite tre porte. La porta orientale, conosciuta come Badshahi Darwaza (Porta Imperiale), era usata da Akbar per accedere alla moschea. È decorata con mosaici tagliati. Le porte settentrionale e meridionale potrebbero essersi storicamente somigliate, tuttavia, nel 1573 la porta meridionale fu ricostruita da Akbar come Buland Darwaza (Porta Alta) per celebrare il successo della sua campagna militare in Gujarat. È la porta più importante e un monumento a sé, con corridoi e stanze sui suoi numerosi piani. Asher dice che è più probabile che la porta sia stata costruita per enfatizzare la relazione di Akbar con l'Ordine Chishti.

Cortile
Il sahn (cortile) è di dimensioni 165 m per 130 m. Al suo centro c'è una vasca per le abluzioni. I lati nord, sud e est del cortile sono fiancheggiati da dalans (arcate). Queste sono ombreggiate da una chhajja (grondaia) continua e sporgente, sostenuta da mensole. Chhatris supera i parapetti di questi portici. La baia interna dei portici è divisa in hujra (celle), probabilmente utilizzate come dormitori per i devoti.

Verso il lato nord del cortile si trovano la tomba di Salim Chishti e la tomba di Islam Khan. La prima è in contrasto con l'arenaria rossa del complesso della moschea Jama per l'uso massiccio del marmo makrana. Sotto il cortile si trovano serbatoi d'acqua sotterranei.

Sala della Preghiera
La sala della preghiera rettangolare (dimensioni 89 m per 20 m) si trova all'estremità occidentale del cortile, di fronte a La Mecca secondo la tradizione islamica. La sua facciata è dominata da un grande pishtaq, che contiene tre ingressi ad arco. Dal tetto si elevano tre cupole, corrispondenti alle tre campate in cui è suddivisa la sala. La campata centrale è quadrata e riccamente decorata, con intarsi geometrici in marmo e dipinti floreali policromi. La sua parete occidentale presenta mihrab (nicchie di preghiera) ornati, delimitati da mosaici e piastrelle smaltate. Le due campate laterali sono sale colonnate, ciascuna contenente una camera quadrata. Queste sale contengono i loro mihrab decorati e sono sostenute da pilastri in stile indù. Alle estremità della sala di preghiera ci sono le zenana (gallerie delle donne).

National Weather Service headed to Sanford Lake to check damage, confirm tornado
Published 6:02 am EDT, Monday, July 25, 2011
A National Weather Service team is heading to Sanford Lake to conduct a damage survey to help determine if the swirling cloud formation seen in the Sunday night skies was indeed a tornado.
A video sent to 9&10 News by Alice Kole of Sanford documents what appears to be a twister forming over the water.
"It certainly does look like it touched down on the lake," said Roger Garner, Midland County Office of Emergency Management coordinator, after viewing the video.
Scanner traffic broadcast a volunteer firefighter contacting the Midland County Central Dispatch Authority by radio to report the sighting of dark, low hanging, rotating clouds just before 9 p.m. Dispatchers replied that there were no severe weather warnings at the time. The storm was heading east.
Garner said dispatchers passed information of a citizen sighting a wall or funnel cloud over the lake to him, and he in turn asked that the information be passed on to the National Weather Service. Minutes later, the weather service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Midland and Bay counties. That warning stated the storm was capable of producing quarter size hail and strong winds, and lasted until 10 p.m.
A preliminary storm report for the National Weather Service refers to video confirmation of a tornado over Sanford Lake, with reports of boats and boat lifts being lifted up out of the water. Kole's video snippet did not show any boats or lifts being damaged.
Phil Kurimski, a senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told the Associated Press that video and photographs from Sanford Lake do show what appears to be a tornado.
Garner said 911 dispatchers had no reports of damage, and also he has heard of none.


There were lots of things I missed about Michigan when we lived on the west coast, but I think I missed Middle Eastern food the most. You know, besides family and friends. Baba ganoush, a dip made of smoky roasted eggplants, is one of my very favorite things to order, along with grape leaves and tabbouleh and garlic sauce and fattoush and… you get the idea. I love a good mezze platter, and this homemade baba ganoush with warm pita always hits the spot.
Detroit, and especially Dearborn, have some of the best Middle Eastern food outside of the Arabian peninsula. Our favorite Lebanese restaurant was always one of our first stops when we came back into town. But as is the way of things, now that we're back living within easy driving distance of a bunch of great Middle Eastern restaurants, we hardly ever seem to go. So I decided to start learning how to make some of my favorite dishes at home, thanks to my copy of The Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookbook. It's late summer, which means beautiful purple eggplants are showing up at the grocery store, so it only seemed right to start with baba ganoush.
When they're roasted, eggplants develop a smoky flavor unlike any other vegetable. I like them in stir fries and pasta salads, but they're tasty enough to shine on their own. This baba ganoush is as simple as it gets, with lots of roasted eggplant, a little garlic and salt, some tahini, and elbow grease or a food processor to mash everything together. Serve this smoky, filling dip with pita as an appetizer or part of a platter, use it to fill pitas stuffed with falafel and tabbouleh, spread it on top of burgers… the possibilities are endless. And it's healthy! It really doesn't get any better.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Poke the eggplants all over with a fork or knife, then place on a baking sheet and roast for 35-45 minutes, until soft. Once they're cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and discard it. Set the eggplant flesh aside to cool completely.
If you have a mortar and pestle, place the garlic in with a little salt and crush it with the pestle. Add the tahini and lemon juice and mix well. Otherwise, finely chop the garlic then, in a small bowl, use the back of a spoon to crush salt into it, then add the tahini and lemon juice and mix with the spoon.
Chop up the eggplants and add them to the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic-tahini mixture and pulse until combined and to your desired consistency. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the eggplant finely and mix in the garlic-tahini with a fork.
Season with more salt if desired and serve with warm pita.

No complaints, it's doing it's job. Have yet to be disappointed by anything I've bought from lowbrow.


As a runner, skin care needs special attention and could be a daunting task during warmer weather condition. That means increased blemishes or acne from sweats, sun-block lotion, UV light (that's me!), etc., that clog up pores as well as reducing nourishment on facial skin.
Thankfully, an easy facial mask, which I have been using for about a year, is as simple as 123, helps keep the skin looking lovely and silky soft all summer (make that year) long. Even better, its affordability and ingredients are probably already somewhere in your kitchen cabinets.
As you might already know, honey is the queen of skin care ingredients. It locks moisture inside skin. Its antioxidant properties protect skin against damage from the sun and environments we come in contact with. It fights infection without irritating your skin.
Whereas, cinnamon reduces inflammation, redness, and works to kill acne by drying out the affected area. And lemon exfoliate the affected area while reducing the color of dark spot and scarring.
Combine honey, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Warm (microwave or hot water bath) the honey a little, if needed, to help with stirring. Mix until you get a smooth and uniform paste.
Gently massage the paste with your index and middle fingertips on clean face, avoiding the eye area. Make sure to remove any makeup, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc on face before applying.
Leave the mask on for about 15 – 20 minutes. Careful, the mask might drip. Lick it off if it does. It tastes just like lemon honey tea. Then rinse off. Skin immediately feels smooth and radiate after the rinse off.
With any leftover, pour into a small container and use it up within a week.
This facial mask is perfect for dealing with acne flare-ups. Use it twice or 3 times a week will be sufficient.

Happy 90th Birthday Sir Kenneth!
19th July 2019 17th July 2019 by 125 Group
Illustrious Inter-City 125 Designer and 125 Group Honorary President Sir Kenneth Grange celebrates his 90th Birthday today (17th July).
Grange's prolific work in Industrial Product Design over half a century has included Kenwood food mixers, Kodak cameras, Anglepoise lamps, Parker pens and the TX1 London taxi cab, however the creation which has given him most pleasure is the Inter-City 125. This instantly recognisable design has endured for over 40 years, its iconic nosecone becoming the defining image of an express train both in the UK and around the world in countries which have never seen a 125.
Knighted in 2013 for services to design, 125 Group was delighted in May 2014 when Sir Kenneth became our Honorary President, he has been actively supporting us on-board railtours and at fund-raising events ever since.
Inter-City 125 liveried power car 43002 which carries the name 'Sir Kenneth Grange' is on display at Swindon STEAM Museum today and tomorrow only (17/18th July), launching a six month exhibition of GWR High Speed Train nameplates. Withdrawn from service, 43002 is eventually making its way into retirement at York National Railway Museum.
Sir Kenneth Grange himself however, now in his ninth decade, is still practising and lecturing today. Happy Birthday Sir Kenneth from everyone at 125 Group!

Welcome to 125 Group !
15th May 2018 by 125 Group
A warm welcome to 125 Group, especially if you have come here after seeing us on TV! We are the High Speed Train InterCity 125 enthusiast and preservation group, formed in 1994 by a small band to share news and information on the fleet and with the long-term aim of preserving a HST. The iconic train is still going strong today, the mainstay of many InterCity routes. Our objective is to preserve a production HST powered by the original Valenta engine, to this end we have acquired a large number of major components. Through this work and our restoration of 41001 we have developed a good relationship with the railway industry and grown to over 550 members. We are now a registered charity and are delighted to have 125 designer Sir Kenneth Grange as our Honorary President.
125 Group has a proven track record, in 2012 we took the last surviving prototype HST power car 41001 on long-term loan from the National Railway Museum and under the 'Project Miller' banner, in honour of the BR Chief Engineer behind the original HST, we restored it from a static exhibit to full working order for use on preserved railways. In recognition we were presented with the Railway Heritage Committee Modern Traction Award. Thanks to our benefactors, volunteers and the kind help of the railway industry, 41001 is now a regular performer at its home base the Great Central Railway (Nottingham). 125 Group is owner of six Mk3 coaches which our engineering team have also restored with four in traffic, three of which are in matching livery to 41001 recreating the look of the Prototype HST. Our team of around twenty-five active volunteers maintain and operate the train, including a buffet bar serving drinks and delicious hot food prepared on-board.
This website has a wealth of information about the HST and up-to-date Power Car Fleet List, plus news about future operating dates for our Prototype HST. We also have a wide range of 125 related items on sale in our On-line Shop, including mugs, DVDs, professionally produced artwork and our excellent forthcoming book '125-The Enduring Icon' available for pre-order.
Join Us! We are delighted to welcome new members who are interested in HSTs and wish to support our cause. Members exclusively receive our quarterly magazine 'One Two Five' which is packed with informed articles about current mainline operations and detailed behind the scenes information on our preservation progress. Join now on this website, membership is only £17 for 12 months.
New Hitachi class 800 series units are already in service, with many more planned over the next two years. Some HST withdrawals are very likely in the near future and 125 Group is ready to step in and save at least one power car from the scrapyard. We have launched our 'Direct Debit' scheme to help boost our preservation funds, donate from £5 per month and receive free subscription to 125 Group.
