Young people have played large roles in the recent Arab Spring revolutions, which were ignited by the self-immolation of a 26 year old Tunisian, Mohamed Bouzazi in January of 2011.
Social media outlets quickly picked up on what Bouazizi had done, which resulted in the movements that have happened throughout the Middle East. The young people went head-first into the movement, but there has been a lack of support from the older generations.
"If you look at a lot of revolutions over time, there are often a number of young people who get involved because of their enthusiasm," Andy Carvin, National Public Radio strategist, said.
Differing opinions between generations and lack of technical knowledge among elders has made progress a difficult concept to retain, in regards to more things happening.
But with improvements in technology and the number of adolescents having access to these sources, it makes the youth's involvement in the revolutions much more practical.
According to UNICEF.com, in 2010 there were almost 16,000,000 (http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/egypt_statistics.html) adolescents in Egypt from ages 10-19 alone, which makes up about 25% of the country. (http://www.unicef.org/egypt/children_151.html)
"For these particular countries, not only are young people online, young people are the dominant part of the demographics there," Carvin said.
"You don't have a situation that you do in the U.S. where the population is aging. The population is getting younger and younger across the Middle East."
Because social media has become a newer trend of the 21st century, older generations tend to be unfamiliar with what it is. It has even gone so far as to challenge the government and past rulers. One particular demonstration against the resignation of Hosni Mubarak, the former president of Egypt, was formed by groups of young people looking to remove violent dictators from having control over their country.

"Social media has played a very important role and it has challenged the authority of those who ruled," Pandeli Glavanis, Ph.D., Professor at the American University in Cairo, said. "No matter what they say, videos or several videos are on the Internet, proving the exact opposite."
The support of all individuals young or old is needed in order to see a permanent turn-around in the way the government operates. Continued progress will be possible if every generation, both young and old, can come together and stand united in the fight for change.

The 11-year-old "Luciana Vega" hopes to be the first NASA astronaut to get to Mars. The doll hits stores on Jan. 1.
American Girl announced its 2018 'Doll of the Year' as Luciana Vega, a STEM-loving 11-year-old who dreams of exploring Mars one day.
Move over, Elon Musk. You're no longer the only person bidding to be the first on a new planet.
On Jan. 1, the American Girl doll company will release its 2018 "Doll of the Year," an ambitious 11-year-old Chilean named Luciana Vega who is ready to do what it takes to become an astronaut and explore Mars. The doll can be purchased via catalog, online or in store.
The 18-inch doll's elaborate story, written by Erin Teagan, will be available in a Scholastic chapter-book series that focuses on her winning a scholarship to attend Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.
"Luciana is a role model for today's girls — empowering them to defy stereotypes, and embrace risks that will teach them about failure and success as they chart their own course in life — whatever the goal," Katy Dickson, president of American Girl, said in a statement.
Shoppers can choose fun add-ons from a line of accessories for the doll, including "space-inspired products like a Mars habitat and flight suit," according to the statement.
And this isn't a rinky-dink flight suit, either. It's a full-on, official-looking, NASA-approved suit. Really.
In fact, several NASA and space-exploration experts checked the doll's story and product line for accuracy and authenticity. Among them: Ellen Stofan, former NASA chief scientist; NASA astronaut Megan McArthur Behnken; and Deborah Barnhart, CEO of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
Children also can connect with the doll via the American Girl app, where they can scan the catalog pages and products "to unlock exclusive content, including augmented reality, trailers and videos, space simulations, quizzes and challenges," the statement said.
Kids around the country can celebrate the new doll's release at events hosted by stores nationwide, including the one in Scottsdale. The debut events will feature interactive science demonstrations, galaxy-inspired treats and a free Luciana doll T-shirt, according to the company.
Taking it a step further, American Girl partnered with Scholastic, NASA and Space Camp to launch "Blast off to Discover," a STEM program for kids inspired by Luciana's story who want to learn about space through activities, videos and games.
Check for the program on Scholastic.com on Monday, Jan. 31. Families also can enter a "Mission to Mars Sweepstakes" to win a trip to Space Camp.
Details: The American Girl store is at Scottsdale Quarter, Scottsdale Road and Greenway-Hayden Loop. 877-247-5223, americangirl.com.

Another wonderful read by Pat Cunningham Devoto
I rarely write a review, though I read many. The review that takes the book almost page by page is not a helpful review to me. I would rather see that the reader was totally captivated by the book, the words, the story. "Out of the Night That Covers Me" is such a book. Ms Devoto's first book "My Last Days as Roy Rogers" was the same. A delicious read. The name put me off and I still do not understand the title in relationship to the book and titles are important. But when I saw it was the same author I knew I wanted it. Stories of the south are interesting because of the different lifestyles that southern's seem to have had (or so it seems to me) It is a thought provoker. I personally like a book that has substance that stays with me, one that makes me think not only of the past but of the future. When I have a book that I don't want to end, I know I have read a book that I would recommend. This one is that and then some!
Why Wasn't This Book A National Best Sellor?
I have read many best selling and award winning novels and found them wanting. One wonders sometimes - "Why did this book get an award." My question about OUT OF THE NIGHT.... is "Why didn't it get an award?" As a student of the South, this book gives an interesting look at the South of the 1950's and the changing social norms. Change is a major theme in the book and it would be interesting to discuss with a book club or with students the examples of change. The characters are well developed, although I thought some of the black characters were not as well developed. It would be interesting to do a comparison of Aunt Nelda and Mrs. Vance. Although they appear much different, they have much in common. And likewise between John and Little Luther. The book is magical and a wonderful read and would be excellent for a book club. It could give rise to great discussions and the edition I have has questions included. Don't start it unless you have time to read the whole thing. For those who liked TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD it's a must read.
Troubling, but Beautiful Book
This book is a study of contrasts. It is, at the same time, troubling to read because of the violence and depravity that it so well depicts and lovely because of the human qualities it illustrates. John, raised in a privileged home, finds himself orphaned and in the care of his white trash relatives who are tennant farmers in rural south Alabama. The change in his life is shocking...but the way he adapts is touchingly beautiful. John's friendship with the Judge is another strong theme -- his tie to the life he used to know, and more. His life at "the Bend" with the runaway blacks teaches him lessons about tolerance and teamwork, and his respect for Tuway, the odd and mysterious black man who can cross the line into the white man's world so easily is well described. The author writes convincingly of the region, the people, and the history. She has a beautiful style that is easy to read, and yet impressive for its control and mastery of language. This coming-of-age novel could someday rank beside "To Kill a Mockingbird" as one of Alabama's best offerings to literature. It's a book that's truly hard to put down.
powerful, moving harbinger of civil rights movement
In her stirring debut novel, "My Last Days as Roy Rogers," Pat Cunningham Devoto gave evidence that she was on the verge of giving voice to an extremely compelling period in our national history, the decade immediately following the end of World War II. Devoto's focus on the onset of the civil rights movement, as witnessed through the lives of poor, rural Southerners, Black and white, described the turmoil of racial injustice, class friction and personal autonomy in a compelling narrative voice. Her second novel, "Out of the Night that Covers Me" is an exceptional work, one written with rare compassion, special insight into the eternal struggle for personal integrity, and convincing accuracy about the impact of racism on the lives of members of an isolated rural Southern community. The novel has been favorably compared to "To Kill a Mockingbird" and deserves that praise.Spindly John McMillan, whose secure, urbane life with his widowed mohter abruptly ends with her premature death, emerges as one of the most beloved youthful protagonists of Southern literature. Suffused with a quiet suffering, he comes to live with his repressed and avaricious Aunt Nelda and her brutally vicious husband, Luther. Devoto spares little detail as she describes John's descent into the hellishly collapsed environment of his new sharecropping home. Ignorant, bound by poverty and tradition, and hopeless, the Spraig family is the antithesis of what he has envisioned for his life. That sudden reversal of fortune, the agonizing realization that brutality and stunted aspirations will be his lot in life create an enormous empathy for the protagnoist. Although brilliant characterizations abound in "Out of the Night," the novel gains its power from a narrative that grabs the reader and refuses to relinquish its grasp until the inexorable and terrifying conclusion permits the reader to understand the path John will lead in his adult life. John's quest for understanding -- his life, his new family, his relationship with African-Americans -- and his absolute strength in confronting pain, humiliation and injustice receive comprehensive scrutiny. Readers will also be impressed by the author's subtle use of symbolism. Each of the most admirable characters in "Out of the Night" are physically or emotionally flawed; yet it is the very disfiguration which presentes each character with unique beauty and dignity. The Judge, a solitary compassionate white man whose vision of racial degradation forces him to treat African-Americans with financial dignity in his role as a bank chairman, is blind. Tuway, an African-American whose unique skin coloration has led to his ability to bridge disparate worlds, overcomes ostracism to emerge as a genuine leader. John, whose skin literally falls off his body after his grisly initiation into the life of a sharecropper, toughens his body but opens his soul to the possibility (and only a possibility) of racial amity.The reputation of Pat
Fascinating characters, emotional history
Characters that I care about and insight into people and into a period of history. That is how I judge a good novel and this book rates very high on all counts. Beginning with the boy John who grabs our hearts on the first page, we then get to know a world of conflicted very human adults of both races who must deal with life in the highly restrictive 1950's Alabama Black Belt. If you cannot imagine what life in a small Alabama town would have been like or what life in a black community in the south Alabama swamps was, here is your chance in a highly readable, personal story. Readers of the author's first book, My Last Days as Roy Rogers, will find the author has grown into even more clear character development and strong story line in her second novel. You will be sorry to turn the last page.


The focus of my research is mainly on the evaluation and standardization of small animal PET, CT and SPECT scanners. Small animal imaging enables the determination of a variety of different in vivo parameters e.g. different receptor expression patterns, or physiological pathways in basic biomedical research of diseases. Especially for preclinical systems it is important to yield high spatial resolution and high sensitivity in order to accurately display and quantify the in vivo tracer distribution. The reproducibility and significance of the acquired data is however strongly dependent on standardized imaging protocols. Therefore, part of my research is focused on multi-center standardization studies to enhance the reproducibility of the scientific results.

People are starting to see insurance as an asset class: Nelson, Lloyd's
17th December 2015 - Author: Artemis
What a difference two years can make. In September 2013 John Nelson, Chairman of the Lloyd's of London insurance and reinsurance market, had warned that mismanagement of third-party capital in re/insurance could lead to "systemic" issues in the market.
Yesterday, Nelson was quoted in the Financial Times discussing the launch of the newly planned Lloyd's market loss and performance Index, acknowledging that insurance risk is becoming an asset class and extolling the virtues of this new or alternative reinsurance capital.
In the past Nelson has been cautious on alternative capital, the growth of insurance-linked securities (ILS) and the potential for ILS having a role in the Lloyd's market. His commentary clearly shows that he and Lloyd's saw the opportunity to harness ILS and the capital markets, but that they wanted to approach it in a controlled manner, so as not to introduce undue risks to the market.
Also in September 2013, Nelson explained that "new forms of capital can help the commercial insurance market grow from $600bn to $2tn by 2025." That was just a week after his systemic risk warning, demonstrating that he clearly saw the benefits of a lower cost of capital for re/insurance capacity, if introduced in the right manner.
In January 2014, Nelson stated in an interview that the changing reinsurance market dynamic created by the influx of new capital from non-traditional sources presented a major challenge for the Lloyd's market, but that he remained optimistic about the future.
Then at the World Economic Forum in Davos that same year in January 2014, Nelson said that Lloyd's could evolve to harness the new reinsurance market trends for the benefit of its members, saying that Lloyd's had the "Luxury that as a market we can frame the way in which we attract capital, the way in which we do business, to suit the new dynamics."
In Lloyd's results in March 2014 the report suggested that the market was ready to become more accommodating to capital from new sources and new markets. The report explained; "Work is under way to assess the potential impact of both the evolving strategies and actions of brokers and of the influx of additional non-traditional capital entering the market. The strategic plan will outline Lloyd's response to these issues and identify specific actions."
Also in March 2014, Nelson discussed the fact that alternative capital and the inflow of capital market money into reinsurance was pressuring the Lloyd's market and that this looked set to continue. He again noted the need for the market to evolve to meet the challenges it was facing.
He commented at the time; "Lloyd's, as a market, has the opportunity over the medium and longer term to harness capital, from traditional and new sources, to meet the growing demand for specialist insurance. This will require imagination and innovation in developing the right structures – blending this new capital with the right approach to underwriting discipline, risk modelling and measurement, and appropriate pricing."
That was the first time Nelson gave a clear message that Lloyd's was ready to move with the times and embrace the alternative capital and ILS trend, although it again expressed caution to protect what Lloyd's means as a business.
Then in April 2014 the new Lloyd's strategic plan revealed the full scope of the change of direction that the market wanted to take, to try to ensure its future by embracing ILS and alternative capital in ways that would sustain its business model.
In the strategic plan Nelson wrote that Lloyd's would "Work with managing agents, brokers and capital providers to manage the changing distribution and capital environment."
Reinsurance convergence was listed as one of six key strategic priorities in the plan. The plan explained the importance of embracing this new capital in a few key sentences.
"Lloyd's response is to be proactive and to embrace this trend. Over the longer term there is an opportunity to harness capital from both traditional and new sources."
"Support market-led initiatives that encourage a diverse range of capital at Lloyd's by removing obstacles and adopting facilitative measures, where appropriate."
"Build relationships that focus on increasing the understanding of potential new capital providers as to how they can participate at, and bring new opportunities to, Lloyd's."
Interestingly the plan also expressed the importance of indemnity as key to Lloyd's market operations, a particularly interesting statement given the launch of the Index yesterday which promises the ability to create index triggers based on Lloyd's market and line of business losses. However the plan did also explain that Lloyd's wanted to encourage the use of new products within the market, rather than outside, which could explain the motivation for the launch somewhat.
Then in May 2014, CEO Inga Beale explained that while Lloyd's wanted to embrace reinsurance convergence and new capital sources, it didn't intend to open its doors to every capital provider showing interest straight away.
Again, Beale explained that indemnity was at the heart of Lloyd's, saying; "We set our stall out to be very much providing indemnity-based insurance products. That goes to the heart of what we're good at, which is our expert underwriting. We believe in that risk-transfer model. But there are ways, I think, to tap into this capital and convert it into something that then is in line with our indemnity products that we're offering."
She also explained the importance that new capital brought new business with it; "We're out there looking to entice new capital in but at the same time we want them to be bringing something to the table. So if it's just capital wanting to come into Lloyd's that cannot bring new business streams in, or new talent pools in, we're not really opening our doors to them.
"We just want to make sure that they're bringing new business in when they do and I'm not sure the pension funds are at that stage of being able to do that for us yet."
Fast forward to March 2015 and John Parry, the Lloyd's Director of Finance, explained that; "The growth of alternative products and capital is well established in the reinsurance industry and we are determined to harness this trend in the years to come."
Fast forward again to September 2015 and it was revealed that Lloyd's was actively working on structures to welcome alternative capital into the insurance and reinsurance market.
A statement from Inga Beale explained; "Recognising changes in the broader marketplace, particularly the reinsurance market, we have been considering ways in which the Corporation can develop structures that would be attractive to alternative capital"
Then in November 2015, the UK government began to put in place the legislative and regulatory framework for conducting ILS business in London, harnessing the work of the London Market Group and publishing a draft amendment to the financial service bill that would allow for a "transformer" special purpose insurance vehicle or structure.
One interesting piece of that amendment implied that Lloyd's could have a role in oversight, of some description, to these transformer vehicles. As we wrote at the time, that perhaps suggests that it may be possible to establish one of these vehicles specifically to access risks from the Lloyd's market and transform them out to ILS investors.
But just around the same time in November, John Nelson gave an updated warning on ILS and alternative capital, saying to a conference; "While ILS's, in the right structure, provide useful additional reinsurance capital, industry and regulators must be watchful in terms of the evolution of their structures."
While a warning, it was a far cry from the systemic label he gave to alternative capital just over two years earlier.
And so that brings us right up to date to December 2015. You can clearly see the journey that Lloyd's of London has been on, over the last couple of years, as it first came to terms with the threat of ILS and alternative capital and subsequently worked to embrace it and accept it into the market.
Now, with the announcement yesterday that Lloyd's is to launch its Lloyd's Index in 2016, providing an index for diversified insurance risks, featuring loss ratios and data on insurance market performance, which can be used in market-loss type products such as ILW's and the like, the market has made huge progress.
What was a staunch defense of the indemnity protection appears to have weakened considerably, with the Index offering the ability to create loss triggers based on Lloyd's market or line of business loss ratios and performance. Clearly that creates the opportunity to hedge more effectively and transfer risks using derivative type structures directly to capital market and ILS investors and fund managers.
Perhaps now Lloyd's has found the "right structure" that Nelson believes can introduce alternative capital into the market in a sustainable, controlled and helpful manner.
And so, talking to the FT in an article on the launch of the Lloyd's Index, John Nelson explained; "A lot of people want to increase their exposure to insurance. Catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities have been growing, driven in part by very low interest rates. People are starting to see insurance as an asset class."
And it does seem that the indemnity focus on traditional reinsurance has finally been removed from the official Lloyd's line. Nelson said; "One of the hopes is that it would lower the cost of capital to the industry, and so to the customer, as it would encourage carriers to hedge risks via instruments rather than via reinsurance."
It's also telling that Nelson acknowledges the fact that ILS and alternative capital from third-party investors can reduce the cost of capital in the industry. He says "to" the industry, but of course it is forcing change across the entire insurance and reinsurance market and the industry itself to become more efficient.
As cost of capacity and capital become increasingly important to all parties, pushing a raft of initiatives to lower expenses, raise efficiencies, grow scale and reach, take frictional or superfluous costs out of the value-chain by getting closer to the source of risk, reduce spend on reinsurance, extract more premium value from business underwritten and bring efficient capital within the business model.
People have been seeing insurance, reinsurance and essentially risk as an asset class for over a decade, but now this has expanded into a force that even the largest incumbents in traditional quarters cannot ignore.
It seems Lloyd's is now fully ready to acknowledge the enormous change that has swept through insurance and reinsurance and the fact that this is continuing, perhaps only really just having begun.
The Lloyd's market is responding in a positive manner, as evidenced by the change in tone over recent years, the launch of the Index and its work with the LMG. It is going to be fascinating to see how this develops, alongside the initiatives to bring more ILS business to London.

He delivered on promotions as promised and came up with gimmicks such as installing a shower in the center field bleachers for fans to cool off on hot summer days. There is one idea he came up with that year that has turned out to be his most lasting contribution to baseball.

Editor's note: The death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, only months before the end of World War II, was announced in a 12-page extra edition of The Star. In the first hours after Roosevelt's death, the Kansas City importance — that the death "lifted the former Missouri farm boy into the highest office in this nation's giving"— was secondary, even in Truman's own county.
The haste in which the extra edition was produced can be seen in the content used –– the exact reprint of the White House's press release –– and the misspelling of "hemorrhage" in the first line of the story's text. The full story from that edition is printed here.

Victory For Reliance Jio? Airtel Asked To Pull Down 'Fastest Network' Claim Ad By ASCI
Jayesh ShindeUpdated on Mar 31, 2017, 17:30 IST
Last week, Reliance Jio had complained against Bharti Airtel's alleged misleading claim that it was "India's fastest mobile carrier," and now Jio's stand is vindicated by the ASCI.
The award given to Airtel by Ookla Speedtest
Reliance Jio had said in its complaint against Bharti Airtel that its claim of being the fastest mobile internet carrier in the country was "false, misleading, and incorrect". The title was supposedly awarded to Airtel at the Speedtest by Ookla 2016 Awards on February 24.
In an official letter, which is in possession of Indiatimes, the Advertising Standards Council Of India (ASCI) has grounded Airtel's claim, considering "this representation to be misleading by ambiguity and implication."
The ACSI has further asked Airtel to either modify or withdraw the advertising by 11th April 2017.
The ASCI further said in its letter that its "FTCC (Fast Track Complaints Committee) also considered the term "Officially" to be misleading as this test is not based on any government organization or recognized authority such as TRAI in this category and hence, exploits consumers' lack of knowledge."
The Mukesh Ambani-led firm had alleged that Ookla, the owner of Speedtest app, charges money for giving such awards and the company has also approached Jio for the same for the very quarter it issued the certificate of fastest mobile network to Bharti Airtel.
Why all this drama? Reliance Jio believes it's the fastest network in India and it takes the mantle very seriously, for obvious reasons!
UPDATE: Responding to the ASCI letter, Bharti Airtel had the following statement to make
"We do not agree with ASCI's decision and will file an appeal as per guidelines. Our campaign is based on findings by Ookla - the globally recognised leader in mobile speed tests and also a benchmark for reputed global operators. We have shared all supporting facts with ASCI and strongly believe that our campaign is compliant with all guidelines. We will be happy to provide more details, if required, and hope ASCI will reconsider its decision."
Statement from Ookla:
"Ookla fully stands behind the accuracy and reliability of the methodology used to designate Airtel as 'India's Fastest Mobile Network'. The award designation was validated using the IP methodology described above for all Speedtest results during the last 6 months of 2016 (Q3 & Q4). When analyzing the data for all of 2016, Airtel was still the clear leader. When analyzing data for 2017 to date, Airtel is still the clear leader. It is worth noting that after correcting for the Android limitation, Airtel's lead over Jio increases for all aforementioned date ranges."

Arrington Class Settlement Information
The final approval and effective date of the Arrington class settlement agreement for the medical monitoring portion of Arrington v. NCAA was November 18, 2019. The agreement has implications for NCAA member schools and their concussion-related policies and procedures. Members should review this information with applicable legal and other advisors, and school staff who might assist in appropriately evaluating this information as it applies to individual institutional risk and practices.
Member schools and class members can find the following information on this page, in addition to the resources provided in the info boxes on the right side.
Medical monitoring certifications for member schools
Concussion reporting for member schools
Medical monitoring program details for student-athletes
The settlement terms require a process for NCAA member schools to report instances of diagnosed concussions and resolutions in student-athletes. In January 2020, all three NCAA divisions adopted rules requiring an active member school to collect and report on concussions diagnosed on or after May 18, 2020.
The initial concussion reporting cycle will begin on July 1, 2020. The online reporting portal will be available to the membership on July 1, 2020. Member schools can find more information about the reporting process here. Answers to anticipated questions about the concussion reporting process can be found in the FAQ here.
Note: Concussion reporting obligations are separate from and not related to the certification process, which closed on May 18, 2020.
What should member schools do now?
The NCAA national office will continue to provide information and address membership questions about the Arrington settlement activities in the coming months. In the meantime, if they have not already done so, member schools should carefully review applicable concussion reporting legislation and begin planning for the initial reporting period which will begin on July 1, 2020. Additional questions may be submitted to the NCAA National Office via the Sport Science Institute at ssi@ncaa.org.
This content is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice or a substitute for legal advice.
Medical monitoring program for student-athletes
NCAA student-athletes who played an NCAA sport at a member school on or prior to July 15, 2016, and who did not opt out of participation may be entitled to free medical screening and may receive free medical testing, known as medical monitoring, up to two times over the next 50 years. Class members do not need to have been diagnosed with a concussion to be a member of the medical monitoring class.
Class members who would like to participate in the medical monitoring program can register and sign up for updates at www.collegeathleteconcussionsettlement.com.
Medical monitoring certifications
The settlement agreement provided NCAA member schools with an opportunity to benefit from a release from certain legal claims that might otherwise be brought by members of the settlement class. To have benefitted from the release, member schools must have certified in writing by May 18, 2020, that they have put in place a concussion management plan that meets the requirements of Section IX.A. of the settlement agreement.

Vintage Build™ contains an effective mixture of 3 essential muscle building ingredients: BCAAs, Creatine Monohydrate, and L-Glutamine.
Vintage Build™ delivers an uncompromisingly dosed, safe and highly effective mixture of 3 essential muscle building ingredients: Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), Creatine Monohydrate, and L-Glutamine. This no-nonsense combination has been proven to work over time and is what gives Vintage Build™ its designation as a Triple Crown muscle builder.
Vintage Build™ improves strength and speeds up recovery. When combined, these benefits allow you to perform your workouts at a higher intensity, which helps fuel further muscular development and growth.
Vintage Build™, now available in Lemon-Lime and Fresh Berries flavors, has been painstakingly formulated to bring you its trio of essential muscle-building ingredients in a powder that mixes easily and tastes great with water or your protein shake, and contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners.
Vintage Build is part of our Muscle & Strength supplements range. We created it because achieving a balanced, head-turning musculature should never come at the expense of your health.
Good nutrition and a proper training regimen are key to building muscle. Muscle-builders can help you maximize your results with higher amounts of essential amino acids (your body's building blocks) and nutrients that are not always practical to get from food alone.
However, most come loaded with carbs, simple sugars or exotic ingredients that increase your caloric intake and water retention. They will increase your bodyweight, but those 'gains' will be mainly water and bulk. Moreover, their effects fade once you stop taking them.
When it comes to building balanced and aesthetic muscularity, the Golden Era bodybuilders did it right. They did not fool around with fad ingredients, relying instead on what was tried, tested, and true. Vintage Build carries on this philosophy in what has become a fundamental trio of ingredients for natural bodybuilders and athletes wishing to build hard, quality, lasting muscle – not useless bulk.
So stop wasting time and money adding bulk - and get Vintage Build to start building mass with class today!
At Old School Labs™, we set out from the start to be a premium and uncompromising brand, delivering exclusively premium products. We sell our products directly to you and are therefore able to afford including only the best quality ingredients in all our products. Press More to read about the ingredients you will find in Vintage Build™ in descending order of weight.
Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine are the most important of the essential amino acids and are absorbed directly into the muscle tissues. They are metabolized quickly to stimulate and support muscle protein synthesis and drive quality muscular development.
This is the gold standard of creatine and increases strength as well as explosive endurance by acting as an energy reserve to fuel muscular performance and development.
An amino acid that is conditionally essential when training at high intensity, it plays a central role in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance and an anabolic state by reducing muscle breakdown and supporting cells. Additionally, it acts as a muscle protector when on a fat-loss regimen.
The "other ingredients" section on supplement labels has unfortunately become a convenient place for some companies to hide their sub-par ingredients, fillers and additives in plain sight. This is where you will commonly find the usual cost-cutting and unnatural ingredients that do nothing to help your health - ingredients such as sucralose, aspartame, gelatin, artificial flavors and colors, and a plethora of cryptic chemical substances that really don't have their place in your body if you want what is best for it.
Stevia leaf extract is a natural sweetener that contains no calories. A minimal amount of high quality stevia is used to remove the bitterness and acidity naturally occurring in BCAAs & L-Glutamine.
Only natural flavors go into our refreshingly crisp tastes. Countless iterations of taste-testing allowed us to arrive to a flavor, which in addition to being natural, tastes great by itself (with water) or mixed into flavored protein.
Also known as apple acid (from Latin mālum / apple), it is found in apples and gives them their sour taste. In Vintage Build™, it is used to bring out the natural berry flavors.
This vegetarian-friendly compound, naturally found in many foods, is used as a flow agent that guarantees the making of Vintage Build™ functions flawlessly and delivers each bottle to the highest exacting specifications.
This natural colorant is free of chemical solvents and GMO ingredients, and is made from high quality fruits to give Vintage Build™ its light cherry color.
As a dietary supplement, men and women take 1 scoop twice a day before or between meals. For maximum results, accustomed users take 2 scoops twice a day before or between meals. On workout days, include consumption immediately after your workout. Can be mixed with 6-8 oz. of water or combined with your favorite protein supplement.
Is Vintage Build™ suitable for women?
Absolutely. Vintage Build™ is suitable and safe for use by both men and women. Though male natural bodybuilders love using Vintage Build™, many women interested in building an attractive musculature without adding bulk have also benefited from using it.
Does Vintage Build™ contain any banned muscle-building substances or other illegal ingredients?
No. Vintage Build™ was specifically formulated with only tried-and-tested ingredients that are both safe and effective. No banned substances are ever used in any Old School Labs™ products.
When during the day should I take Vintage Build™?
Vintage Build™ can be taken at any time during the day. As a rule of thumb, split your servings between a.m. and p.m. to allow your body to be constantly fueled by Vintage Build™. If you are taking Vintage Build™ once a day, make sure to include at least one serving following your workout to accelerate your recovery and muscular development.
Will I feel Vintage Build™ working?
You will definitely feel, and see, Vintage Build™ working as early as 3 to 5 days after starting to use it. The trio of ingredients in Vintage Build™ will have a positive effect on your muscular development (that you will see), as well as your strength and recovery times (that you will feel).
Does Vintage Build™ mix easily?
Yes. Vintage Build™ mixes effortlessly and does not lump up or sit atop water. Whether in a glass or a shaker, Vintage Build™ will dissolve easily with just a few twirls of the spoon or shakes.
Should I take a break after finishing a bottle of Vintage Build™?
You don't need to take a break after finishing a bottle. In fact, you can take Vintage Build™ anytime to support your muscle building goals.
Does Vintage Build™ contain any carbs?
Vintage Build has 0 carbs and 0 sugars. Some other notable 0s: 0 artificial flavors, 0 artificial sweeteners, and 0 compromises. If you haven't tried it yet, we hope you'll do that soon – you won't regret it!

DSS reacts to planned terrorist attack in Abuja
The Department of State Services (DSS) has stated that there's no cause for alarm over threat of imminent terror attack in Abuja.
The United States Embassy in Abuja had issued a security alert that there could be possible terrorist attack in the city this week.
However, the DSS called for calm and implored Nigerians to remain vigilant.
In a statement by its Spokesman Dr. Peter Afunanya advised Nigerians to be cautious, the Service however assured that it would work with other security agencies to maintain the peace.
The DSS asked Nigerians to support the agency with information relating to threats and suspicious criminal acts.
The statement said, "The Department of State Services has received several enquiries relating to the security advisory issued by the US Embassy in Abuja, today, 23/10/22. The public may recall that the Service had variously issued similar warnings in the past.
"While advising that necessary precautions are taken by all and sundry, the populace is enjoined to remain alert and assist security agencies with useful information regarding threats and suspicious criminal acts around them.
"Meanwhile, the Service calls for calm as it works with other law enforcement agencies and stakeholders to maintain peace and order in and beyond Abuja," Afunanya said in the statement released around 11:20pm on Sunday.

Tracking your dive used to be complicated, requiring the use of a dive watch, depth gauge and dive tables. But with a dive computer, you'll only need one tool to track all aspects of your dive. All three individual tools are packed in one nifty device to provide excellent functionality.
The best dive computer should have all standard features and a few extras. That is, it should have an easy-to-read display, low battery warning and enriched air compatible. The display, which is often the size of wristwatch should provide information about time, depth, no stop limits and time remaining, ascent rate, emergency decompression, and details of the previous dive.
Extras can be altitude adjustment, multiple gas computers for technical diving, display about the amount of air in your tank, self-adjusting decompression model, and dot matrix screens. When choosing a dive computer, always look for the "must haves" first before the "nice to have".
This is the first mixed gas dive computer built entirely by Italian brand Cressi. It has a 3-button interface that lets you program Air, Nitrox and Gauge Modes. The HD screen shows you large numerical displays of vital information you need to track during your dive, such as depth level, air pressure and air in tank. As a dive computer for mixed gas, its software can handle different hyper-oxygenated mixtures that can be selected during the dive.
Bigger than the usual wrist-attached dive computer, one of the best features of this model is the large display that is not only easy to read, but displays more information in one go. It features a Patented Air Time Remaining algorithm that accurately calculates the amount of time you have for a dive based on your personal air consumption and current depth. You can choose between two decompression algorithms – Pelagic DSAT (Spencer/Powell data basis) or Pelagic Z+ (Buhlmann ZHL-16C data basis). One of the best dive computer you can find online.
Small as a wristwatch, but big in features. The Oceanic Atom 3.0 dive computer is powered by the Exclusive Dual Algorithm from Oceanics. You get to choose which algorithm best suits your dive, ensuring your safety won't be compromised. It features a Wireless Air Integrated Technology that provides accurate and streamlined information on tank pressure. Unlike other dive computers, this model is not only sleek in function, but also in style. Use it out of the water and it can rival some of the best dress watches.
Another product from Oceanic, the Veo 2.0 wrist computer has all the bells and whistles you can expect from the brand and more. It comes with 3 operating modes for Air and Nitrox (NORM), run timer (GAUGE), and track calculations (FREE). To set personal options, simply use the operating buttons Step Forward and Fast Scroll.
The best dive computer must be designed for safety and with a user-friendly interface.

Chinese Students Encounter America
By Qian Ning
Translated by T. K. Chu
SUBJECT LISTING: Asian Studies, Education
BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION: 296 Pages, 6 x 9 in
An instant bestseller upon its publication in China in 1996, Chinese Students Encounter America (Liuxue Meiguo) appealed to those who had studied abroad, those who dreamed of doing so, and those who wanted a glimpse of the real America. This translation allows American readers to see their country through a Chinese lens.
Since China reopened to the West in the late 1970s, several hundred thousand Chinese students and scholars have traveled abroad for advanced education, primarily to the United States. Based on interviews conducted while the author studied journalism and taught Chinese literature at the University of Michigan from 1989 to 1995, Chinese Students Encounter America tells the poignant and often revealing stories of students from a variety of backgrounds.
After describing the history of Chinese students in America--from Yung Wing, who graduated from Yale in 1854, to the post-Cultural Revolution generation--Qian presents the experience of Chinese students today through anecdotes ranging from students' obsession with obtaining Green Cards and their struggles to support themselves, to their marital crises. Looming large in these personal stories is the legacy of China's three decades of social and political turbulence following the Communist revolution in 1949 and America's dizzying abundance of material goods and personal freedom.

[Qian's book] is not a sentimental paean, but an objective chronicle of the lives of Chinese students who have become a significant presence on almost every university campus in [America]. . . . In simple yet elegant terms, much the same as those used by Alexis de Tocqueville to describe the early United States to Europeans, Qian seems to undermine the rancorous literature of Chinese nationalism.
[Qian] presents a realistic portrait of America that is as deep as it is sweeping. He juxtaposes snapshot interviews of Chinese emigres with impressionistic freeze-frames of American and Chinese life.

Homeless man killed in Simi Valley remembered as kind, funny, humble At a memorial service for Gerald Munyon in Simi Valley, mourners remembered the homeless man as being humble and funny.

Alicia Doyle, Special to Ventura County Star Published 1:22 p.m. PT March 14, 2019 | Updated 3:16 p.m. PT March 14, 2019
Although he was homeless for at least 11 years, Gerald Munyon was a humble, funny man with a quirky character who gave bear hugs and always put a smile on people's faces, according to many who knew him at the Simi Valley Samaritan Center.
These were among the tearful testimonials given Wednesday during a memorial for Munyon, who died in February when he was run over by a car while sleeping behind a building in Simi Valley. The driver was cooperative with authorities, police said.
Investigators said it appeared Munyon was lying in an alley when a vehicle turned a corner and hit him.
"He signed release papers to go into a program the day before – that's the kicker for us," said Betty Eskey, the center's director.
About 50 people, including Munyon's brother, Shiloh Pruitt, attended the afternoon memorial at the center. Pruitt, of Oklahoma, said he hadn't seen Munyon in 21 years, and "the last time I talked to him we weren't on the best terms."

Munyon would have turned 47 on May 25 and had served in the National Guard, Pruitt said. Although Pruitt didn't know exactly what had brought his brother to Simi Valley, he said Munyon's biological father lived in the area.
Munyon got divorced around 12 years ago and that's when his homelessness started, Pruitt said. He later had a girlfriend, who was also homeless, "and she ended up almost dying, so that really pushed him over the edge from alcoholism."
Because he and Munyon had been estranged for so many years, Pruitt said, he came to meet the people who knew his brother here.

"This was his family because he'd been in and out of here so much. Everybody knew him. They knew him better than I did," Pruitt said.
Pruitt learned his brother was "very outgoing, very helpful, and always helping everybody out. … Even though he was homeless, he helped out here all the time. He did everything he could possible to help everybody. Even when he didn't have much, he would pass it along to the homeless people here."
"This was his family because he'd been in and out of here so much, everybody knew him. They knew him better than I did."

During the memorial, Eskey praised the people in attendance who knew and loved Munyon.
"Even though Gerald isn't here to acknowledge it, he would have been surprised because he was such a humble person, and he would have said that he loves you, because that's what he said all the time," Eskey said.
Sarah Kitch, reverend of St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church in Simi Valley, officiated the memorial.
"Gerald is with us because the promise is eternal life," Kitch said. "We have a living legacy, so Gerald's spirit is very much with us and that is what we're celebrating … and we want to keep that in focus."
The news of Munyon's death was posted on the Simi Valley Samaritan Center's Facebook page on March 4.
In the post Eskey wrote "… we had just found him housing the evening before and it should have been his last night on the street. Gerald was a kind hero on the streets, often helping other homeless folks who were more desperate than himself. One Simi resident remembers that when she fell on hard times, Gerald helped her until she got back on her feet."

Numerous people expressed their feelings over Munyon's death on social media. One person wrote: "He was such a kind soul. Heaven has acquired another angel. May his new house be grander and more beautiful."
Another message said: "Rest with the angels Gerald. I will miss your smile and kind heart. You went thru hell and back on this earth … I pray you are at peace and soaring high with the angels."
Several members of the Simi Valley Police Department attended the memorial Wednesday, including Officer David Scher, who poured water on an olive tree that was planted in Munyon's honor after the service.

"On a day-to-day basis, he dealt with his own struggles…he'd have good days and bad days," Scher said. "But every time I got to speak with him, he was friendly and cordial. Even if it was for a bad reason, he was still friendly and cordial."
Sharon Heiser, a volunteer at the Samaritan Center for nine years, said she went to the site where Munyon died.
"I could feel the presence of God there and I knew he didn't suffer," Heiser said. "So Gerald is waking up in heaven; he's got a new home now. He doesn't have to worry about being on the streets, what he's going to eat tomorrow. I could just feel that he was OK. He was in heaven."

The Military Council of National Salvation (, abbreviated to WRON) was a military junta administering the Polish People's Republic during the period of martial law in Poland between 1981 and 1983. It was headed by General and First Secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party Wojciech Jaruzelski.

The body was created on 13 December 1981, and was dissolved on 22 July 1983. It consisted of 21 members: fifteen generals, one admiral and five colonels. Among the most notable members were generals Wojciech Jaruzelski, Florian Siwicki, Michał Janiszewski and Czesław Kiszczak. One member, Lt. Col. Mirosław Hermaszewski, was included without his consent or knowledge.

In the beginning of 1982, the Citizens' Committees of National Salvations were formed, comprising mostly of PZPR members. In July 1982, they joined the newly formed Patriotic Movement for National Rebirth.

The lettering of the Polish acronym (WRON;  meaning a crow in Polish) was immediately picked up by those that the regime sought to repress and widely used in a form of non-violent opposition through jokes. One saying was that "orła wrona nie pokona" ('the crow won't defeat the eagle', a white eagle being the national symbol of Poland).

In 2006, the Chief Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation accused WRON members of committing a communist crime. On January 12, 2012, the Warsaw District Court upheld the indictment that WRON was an unlawful criminal armed enterprise which was formed and acted in violation of the Polish constitution. According to the court, the conspiratory group consisted of Wojciech Jaruzelski, Czesław Kiszczak, Florian Siwicki and Tadeusz Tuczapski. Only Kiszczak was arraigned and convicted (4 years of imprisonment, halved under the amnesty, 5 years probation) and proceedings against the rest were suspended or discontinued due to poor health or death of the defendants.
