With the 2016 presidential elections all over the media, it's not surprising to hear stories of sexual assault, and explicit details about the candidates' personal lives rising to the surface. Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump has not been the exception to the rule. The media bombards people every day with stories about Trump. A recent story about Donald Trump's sexual assault has sparked the interest of bloggers and journalists across the internet. The $125 million lawsuit filed in 1997 in Kansas City, Missouri. Jill Harth, in her early 30's back then, alleged Donald Trump sexually assaulted her.
There is a 12-page complaint filled with details about dates and times Trump engaged in this aggressive sexual behavior. Apparently Trump had met Harth as a producer and coordinator of international model search events in the 90s. Trump was quite active in the beauty pageant world back then. He called Harth several times from New York demanding her that she sleeps with him. She lived in Boca Raton, Florida. Among the multiple allegations she claims he had an adulterous affair and retaliated against those who crossed him, something very typical of Trump. He obviously denied the charges and said the suit was an attempt to settle because they knew they could not win the case.
Although Harth says she has, "nothing but good things to say about Donald" and she is planning to vote for him, her actions speak louder. It's the natural thing to do after Trump called her a liar and her daughter Ivanka Trump said her father was 'not a groper.' She is speaking now and telling the whole truth about what happened.
A sexual crime, particularly a sexual assault, is a very serious charge. Many defendants focus on mitigating the punishment since the charge can be from 2 years in prison up to a life sentence. Contact a criminal defense attorney from Gallardo Law Firm to help you with your criminal case.


I am purposely going to write this post in a blog style versus article style I usually do as these are thoughts that have been burning the corridors of my thoughts for a little while and I need to, out of necessity, put them somewhere. The thought was inspired by a gorgeous black woman driving a drop top Maserati near Hydepark, where my colleague and I were walking to go buy some lunch; upon gazing at this woman my colleague exclaimed with a great smile "black excellence!" and I smiled back and retorted, "Indeed" until it dawned on me. If I were to approach her in hopes to have a conversation, she would more than likely be apprehensive or ostentatious depending on her perception of me (now I know it is more complex than that my dear psychology friends but humour my rudimentary analysis this once) and that is the very problem with black people who have 'made it' i.e. the main stream topic of conversation with those who are up and coming isn't about how to create wealth, guiding principles on how the successful one made it which is my main problem. We need to make wealth creation a mainstream topic of conversation as black people.
To the successful black – I do not need you, who has made it, tell me that your jacket is a Burberry and about how amazing your holiday in a foreign country was, rather impart knowledge on me on how I can fish, give me the 'if i knew what I know now' moments so that I can build my house. The obvious supposition is, the successful black person will be surrounded by a few others like them which means they have a mini-network of successful fellow black people who may be in industries I want to enter, so what I need from you is not a freebie but a possible co-sign or even an introduction to a relevant person within your network who may be of interest to me based on what I want to do or do.This is how I believe one puts another person on. Your responsibility as someone who has made it somewhat is to bring up others, not flaunt to them, play your part in teaching and imparting knowledge to enable others to improve their lives by implementing the knowledge and doing the same. Anthropologically speaking, black people have always been communal in nature which is capitalism screwed us up so much because the system shuns the concept of sharing, it encourages competition and greed.
To the up and coming black – change your topic of conversation, don't want to enjoy the good life without having worked for it, stop asking for freebies and expecting shortcuts from those who have made it, instead create your own business ideas and ask for knowledge, guidance and advice from those who have made it, connections, networks, investment and tips on how to create wealth, then pass on that knowledge to others like you.
As a people, we need to get to a point where we stop taking money away from black people and the way to do that is by building communities. A community comprises of schools, banks, hospitals, libraries etc we need to own infrastructure and enable ourselves to be self sustaining, since we are far from that, we need to start somewhere and that is by supporting black businesses and encouraging their birth. Alright I will leave this here. I believe we have a copious amount of thinkers but not enough do'ers, so there will more than likely be a plethora of profound comments below this article and then Taboo will be filled with more young black professionals buying blessees Moet, so before you share your astute thought, think also about how we implement your ideas.
I appreciate your time for reading this.
This is absolutely thought provoking. I love it!! Great piece!
We are tempted to be inclusive in our approach when dealing with "black" people issues which is understandable because we don't want to be accused of being "racist". I'm glad we can start being honest about rise of classism in our society. Donald's blog clearly articulated this general attitude which is becoming an "us" and "others". With maturity "sizonqoba" as we grow into our young world of democracy.

The 'Golden City' of Homer, the Ancient capital of the Mycenean Civilization. Starting point of the Trojan expedition of the Acheans. Ancient history comes to life in Agamemnon's Mycenae, with the remarkable Beehive Tombs and the 3,000 year old Lionesse's Gate. According to Homer and Aeshcylus 'Oresteia', the city of Mycenae was founded by Perseus. Perseus killed the hideous snake-haired Medusa.
Mycenae was first settled by Neolithic people in the 6th millennium BC.Between 2,100 - 1,900 BC Greece was invaded by people of Indo-European stock who came from Anatolia to Greece. The invaders brought their culture to Mycenae and other mailland settlements.This new civilisation is known as Mycenaean, civilisation named after Mycenae. Archaelogical finds indicate that the palaces of Mycenaen kingdoms were destroyed around 1,200 BC.
Must see: The Cyclopian rampart, the Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon, the Lionesse's Gate, so called because above it two lionesses support a pillar of the Royal House of Atreus, the Tomb of Clytaemnistra, the Palace, the Throne Room, the Great Court, and the Megaron.

[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of core stability exercise (CSE) on the physical and psychological functions of elderly women while negotiating general obstacles. [Subjects and Methods] After allocating 10 elderly women each to the core stability training group and the control group, we carried out Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) and measured crossing velocity (CV), maximum vertical heel clearance (MVHC), and knee flexion angle for assessing physical performances. We evaluated depression and fear of falling for assessing psychological functions. [Results] Relative to the control group, the core stability training group showed statistically significant overall changes after the training session: an increase in POMA scores, faster CV, lower MVHC, and a decrease in knee flexion angle. Furthermore, depression and fear of falling decreased significantly. [Conclusion] CSE can have a positive effect on the improvement of physical and psychological performances of older women who are vulnerable to falls as they negotiate everyday obstacles.

Born March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada; daughter of Adhemar and Therese Dion; youngest of 14 children; married: Rene Angelil, December 17, 1994. Addresses: Record company-Epic Records, P.O. Box 4450, New York, NY 10101-4450.
From the time she was a child, Celine Dion knew her destiny. Surrounded by a family of musicians, she began entertaining audiences in her parents' piano bar at the age of five. By the time she turned 30, she had cemented her place in the highest levels of pop stardom. With such megahits as "The Power of Love," "Because You Loved Me," and "My Heart Will Go On," Dion maintained a fast-paced and prolific career throughout the 1980s and 1990s. "The girl has a star over her head-she's that lucky," her manager and husband Rene Angelil explained to E. Kaye Fulton in Maclean's.
Celine Dion was born the youngest of 14 children to Adhemar and Therese Dion in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada. When Dion was just a baby, her family formed a singing group called Dion's Family and toured Canada. Therese Dion played the violin, and Adhemar Dion played the accordion. Later, her parents opened a piano bar called Le Vieux Baril. When she was just five years old, she jumped up on a table to sing Ginette Reno songs. Soon, customers were coming back, asking the little girl with the big voice to sing again and again. Even then, Dion relied on the strength of her family. "My family is my foundation,"she told Jean-Noel Bassior in McCalls. "We never had a lot of money, but we had a wealth of love, joy, and affection."
When Dion was 12 years old, she recorded a demo tape of a song her mother had written for her. Therese Dion wrapped the tape with a red ribbon and sent it off to Canadian manager/producer Rene Angelil, who had previously managed Canadian singer Ginette Reno. Celine's mother enclosed a note with the tape that read: "This is a 12-year-old with a fantastic voice. Please listen to her. We want her to be like Ginette Reno." Angelil let the package sit on his desk for weeks before Dion's brother Michael met with him and convinced him to listen to the tape.
Once he heard her voice, Angelil invited her to meet with him and perform for him in person. He signed her immediately, with the understanding that he would have complete control over her career. When he couldn't find a label to sign the 12-year-old Dion, he mortgaged his house to finance her first album, which was completely in French. Soon, the young Dion's French albums earned her notoriety in Canada, and she became known as La P'tite Quebecoise (the little girl of Quebec).
By the time she was 15 years old, Dion decided to make music her only priority and dropped out of school. "It was taking me away from music, from my happiness, from my dreams," Dion told Charles P. Alexander in Time. Around the same time, Angelil had divorced his second wife and focused the majority of his time on Dion and her career. After releasing nine French albums, the 18-year-old Celine Dion had grown tired of her little girl image, and decided to make a major change. She had seen singer Michael Jackson perform on television, and told Angelil that she wanted to have the kind of success Jackson had.
In an effort to embark on the path of global superstardom, Celine Dion took a year off of recording, during which she had caps put on her teeth, had a complete makeover, and learned English. She spent the next two years working on a English language album and an American record contract. She also continued to perform throughout Canada. In 1988, Dion and Angelil began to develop a romance, but because of their 26-year age difference, they kept their relationship a secret.
In 1990, Dion released her English debut, Unison, on Epic Records in the U.S. The album included the top five single "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," and sold more than a million copies worldwide. Renowned producer David Foster produced five songs on the album. "Celine exceeds the boundaries of talent," Foster told Fulton. "I don't know if she will reach the heights of Barbra Streisand, but there's nobody else in the race."
During the tour for Unison, Dion had a scare. She lost her voice before one of her performances and had to cancel part of the tour. Her doctors told her that her vocal chords were severely inflamed, and she had to stay completely silent for three weeks. By the end of her break, she had regained her voice and designed a plan to take better care of herself and preserve her voice. She set a rigid schedule for herself on tour, stopped talking three days before beginning a new album, and kept silent before performances until late in the afternoon.
By 1991, Rene Angelil and Celine Dion had become engaged. "When I met Rene, I loved him, but as a child," Dion told Bassior. "The more I got to know him over all the years we worked together, the more I fell in love with him."
Later that year, Dion released another French language album called Dion Chante Plamondon, on which she performed the songs of Canadian composer Luc Plamondon. In 1992, she released her sophomore English album titled simply Celine Dion. The album included the hit single "Beauty and the Beast," a duet with Peabo Bryson that was also the title song for the Disney film. The song won both a Grammy award and an Oscar award. She also had a number-one hit with the track "If You Asked Me To" from the same album. Celine Dion became her first gold-selling album in the United States and sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. As a result of this success, she was able to embark on her first headlining tour in the U.S.
Dion had even more success with the release The Colour of My Lovethe following year, which included the hit singles "The Power of Love" and "When I Fall in Love," the latter was a duet with Clive Griffin that also appeared on the soundtrack for the film Sleepless in Seattle. Peter Galvin wrote in his New York Times review, "Ms. Dion exudes a pleasing mixture of innocence and soulfulness throughout the album ... endowing even the slickest songs with palpable passion."
Beyond her growing popularity, Celine Dion also experienced a personal tragedy in 1993. Her niece, Karine Menard, had died in Dion's arms after a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis. After that moment, Dion made it her personal crusade to raise money for cystic fibrosis among other children's charities. She wrote the song "Vole" in memory of her niece. It appeared in French on her D'euxalbum and in English as "Fly" on her Falling Into Youalbum. Dion explained the effect Karine's death had on her to Dennis Hensley in Cosmopolitan, "We take a lot for granted. The air we breathe, the ability to walk and talk. When we're happy, it's easy to forget how lucky we are."
Dion's own happiness grew even greater on December 17, 1994, when she married Rene Angelil at a ceremony at Montreal's Notre Dame Basilica in front of 500 guests. The wedding, which cost more than $500,000, was televised nationwide in Canada. Instead of wedding gifts, the couple asked for donations to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and raised $200,000.
Dion released another French album in 1995 called D'eux, which was also released in the United States as The French Album. It included songs by French pop composer Jean-Jacques Goldman, and became the world's best-selling French language album of all time. The following year, she released her next hit album Falling Into You. She reached number-one on the charts with the single "Because You Loved Me," which also appeared on the soundtrack for the film Up Close and Personal. Falling Into You sold more than ten million copies in the United States alone and won Grammy awards for Best Album of the Year and Best Pop Album.
In 1997, Celine Dion reached her greatest success ever, becoming a household name all over the world. The catalyst was the song "My Heart Will Go On" from the soundtrack for the award-winning film Titanic. The number-one hit was also released on her next album, Let's Talk About Love. The song was credited with selling more than 50 million albums worldwide, counting both the soundtrack and Let's Talk About Love. For six weeks, the two albums held the number-one and number-two positions on Billboard's album charts.
Let's Talk About Love also included a duet with Dion and her musical hero Barbra Streisand called "Tell Him." Streisand released the song on her own album, Higher Ground, as well. "Celine is all anyone could ask for in a singing partner-professional, easygoing, generous," Streisand told Bassior. "Her amazing voice is surpassed only by her kind and gentle heart." Dion also recorded a duet with opera singer Luciano Pavarotti called "I Hate You Then I Love You."
By this time, Dion had no doubt that she had reached the success she dreamed about as an 18-year-old girl watching Michael Jackson on television. "When I was a smaller kid, I wanted to be in show business, and I was holding on to that dream," Dion told Karen S. Schneider and Jeanne Gordon in People. "I don't want to hold on to that dream anymore. I want to hold on to the real things."
On April 30, 1998, Celine Dion received the National Order of Quebec, the province's highest honor, then was inducted as an Officer of the Order of Canada the very next day. In August of 1998, she headed out on an extensive 14-country tour that ended by ringing in the new millennium in Montreal on December 31, 1999. In September of 1998, Dion released another French language album titled S'il Suffisait D'Aimer (translated If Only Love Could Be Enough). She also released a holiday album called These Are Special Times in November of 1998, which included the hit "I'm Your Angel," a duet with R. Kelly. By the end of the year, Forbes had named her the twelfth highest paid entertainer, with her 1998 pre-tax income estimated at $55.5 million. By the end of the decade, she had sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. "The grace with which she's handled all of this is extraordinary," Sony Music International President Robert M. Bowlin told Chuck Taylor in Billboard. "She's really under a microscope, and yet you'd be hard pressed to find much criticism, considering how hard she works and how many records she sells. It speaks volumes about how professional she is."
After her massive world tour, Dion decided to take some time off in the year 2000. She and Angelil decided work on having a family instead of another album, giving Dion's career a bit of a break. "I get paid a lot of money to be on this schedule, but it's okay to want to stop," Dion told Jeremy Helligar in People. "And I prefer to stop at the top of my career rather than when no one wants to hear me anymore." Of course, given her lifelong success, Dion won't likely have to worry about that for many years to come.
Signed management contract with Rene Angelil, 1980; released seven French language albums in Canada, 1980-1990; released U.S. debut album, Unison, 1990; released five albums with Epic Records, 1991-1996, including Celine Dion,1992; The Colour of My Love,1993; The French Album, 1995; Faling Into You, 1996; Let's Talk About Love, 1997; These Are Special Times,1998; reached worldwide success with "My Heart Will Go On," selling more than 50 albums worldwide from both the Titanic soundtrack and Let's Talk About Love, 1997.

Police: Bullying led to fatal shooting at North Carolina high school
CBS/AP October 29, 2018, 11:49 AM Police: Bullying led to student's fatal shooting at North Carolina high school
Last Updated Oct 29, 2018 3:06 PM EDT
MATTHEWS, N.C. — A North Carolina high school student shot and killed a fellow student during a fight in a crowded school hallway Monday morning, officials said, prompting a lockdown and generating an atmosphere of chaos and fear as dozens of parents rushed to the school to make sure their children were safe.
Authorities said bullying led to the shooting and the conflict started several days before the fatal encounter.
The police department in Matthews, about 12 miles southeast of Charlotte, said 16-year-old freshman Jatwan Cuffie was taken into custody by a school resource officer about 10 minutes after the shooting at Butler High School. Police Capt. Stason Tyrrell said Cuffie admitted the shooting to a teacher and the teacher helped arrange his surrender to police.

"It's been an extremely tragic event for us here in Matthews for the Butler High School community," Tyrrell said.
Tyrrell said a school resource officer who was in the building heard a commotion in a hallway adjacent to the cafeteria at 7:14 a.m. and saw students running away. He arrived at the scene seconds later and started rendering aid to the wounded student. Three other officers were on scene within minutes, he said.
The victim, 16-year-old sophomore Bobby McKeithen, was transported to a hospital and died there.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Clayton Wilcox called the incident "isolated."
"The conflict began with bullying and escalated out of control," Wilcox said. "As fear took over, the young person brought a gun to solve the problems."
Wilcox' comment appeared to imply that the shooter was the person who was bullied, but Tyrrell later wouldn't specify whether it was the suspect or the victim who was bullied.
"We heard a bang and we seen them starting to fight… All of the sudden he pulled out a pistol and everybody started running."

"We're incredibly sad, and we're sorry for this family," Wilcox said. "But we're also sorry for the young person who thought the only way to solve this problem was with a gun."
Wilcox said "dozens if not hundreds" of students witnessed the shooting before fleeing in panic. He said grief counselors would be made available.
"I think it's fair to say that more lives than just two have been changed forever," Wilcox said.
Police have not confirmed what kind of gun was used. Wilcox said, "I don't know how a young person gets a handgun in the state of North Carolina." He said the school system was reviewing its security procedures. The school does not have metal detectors, he said.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District said on Facebook that the weapon had been secured by law enforcement. The school was placed on lockdown, which has since been lifted. Families were allowed to pick up students from the entrance to the campus.
Before the lockdown was lifted, dozens of parents gathered outside of the school to await word on the students. Multiple parents told local television channels that they felt confused and unsure about where to meet with their children. Video provided to CBS affiliate WNCN by a freshman student showed panic in a crowded hallways in the aftermath of the incident, with students asking to be let out of the school.

"A kid was shot, they want us to go to class," the freshman, Joshua Cherry, is heard saying in the video. "Kids are crying. It's a mess."
When students were allowed to leave, the video showed students streaming out, with many crying and hugging parents. Classes were be held for students remaining on campus, the district said. About 100 of the 2200 students were released at normal dismissal time, Wilcox said.
Wilcox defended keeping students in the building, saying they wanted to ensure safe transport before allowing them to leave.
In a statement released to the station, North Carolina State Superintendent Mark Johnson said "I am heartbroken to hear that we have lost a student to school violence in one of our schools."
"We have contacted Charlotte-Mecklenburg authorities and will assist in any way we can, but of course our first thoughts are for the parents and other loved ones of the student who passed away," Johnson said. "The safety of our students is paramount. This is a sad day for all of North Carolina, and we must work together as a community to address these problems."

Cursed Child Review
I went to see the Cursed Child play in London just over a week ago, and I planned on writing a big review. But that never actually happened, so I thought I'd at least write a short overview of what I felt about it.
Some context:
I'm not a massive theatre lover.
I'm a massive Harry Potter Fan (books, films, games, etc.).
I was always going to see this at some point.
I saw both parts in immediate succession.
Thoughts (Potential Spoilers):
There were definitely ups and downs throughout the two parts, with it taking a while to get going.
In some parts it was a bit too theatrical for me (I know, it's the theatre).
Some scenes from the film were acted out, but with a different tone and feel, even with some different characters in scenes.
The actors that played the main characters didn't look the same as the film characters, which through me off a bit. For example, Dumbledore was quite short and tubby, Snape had a long face, Hermione had changed race, and Ron was tall and lanky, along with having a bit of a cockney accent.
Right at the end of the first part, I could sense that the story could be going somewhere good.
The second part was much better, although I felt that it ended rather abruptly.
Some parts of the story seemed rushed. As in one school year could have been missed with a toilet break.
Overall, I think that it was good. Maybe if I enjoyed the theatre more, then I would have liked the theatrical quirks, but they were lost on me.

Snipe In Literature
Too Early – Anton Chekhov
March 26, 2016 / snipeinliterature
Sharing in its entirety this lovely short story by Chekhov about snipe hunting, in time for Easter wishes.
THE bells are ringing for service in the village of Shalmovo. The sun is already kissing the earth on the horizon; it has turned crimson and will soon disappear. In Semyon's pothouse, which has lately changed its name and become a restaurant — a title quite out of keeping with the wretched little hut with its thatch torn off its roof, and its couple of dingy windows — two peasant sportsmen are sitting. One of them is called Filimon Slyunka; he is an old man of sixty, formerly a house-serf, belonging to the Counts Zavalin, by trade a carpenter. He has at one time been employed in a nail factory, has been turned off for drunkenness and idleness, and now lives upon his old wife, who begs for alms. He is thin and weak, with a mangy-looking little beard, speaks with a hissing sound, and after every word twitches the right side of his face and jerkily shrugs his right shoulder. The other, Ignat Ryabov, a sturdy, broad-shouldered peasant who never does anything and is everlastingly silent, is sitting in the corner under a big string of bread rings. The door, opening inwards, throws a thick shadow upon him, so that Slyunka and Semyon the publican can see nothing but his patched knees, his long fleshy nose, and a big tuft of hair which has escaped from the thick uncombed tangle covering his head. Semyon, a sickly little man, with a pale face and a long sinewy neck, stands behind his counter, looks mournfully at the string of bread rings, and coughs meekly.
"You think it over now, if you have any sense," Slyunka says to him, twitching his cheek. "You have the thing lying by unused and get no sort of benefit from it. While we need it. A sportsman without a gun is like a sacristan without a voice. You ought to understand that, but I see you don't understand it, so you can have no real sense. . . . Hand it over!"
"You left the gun in pledge, you know!" says Semyon in a thin womanish little voice, sighing deeply, and not taking his eyes off the string of bread rings. "Hand over the rouble you borrowed, and then take your gun."
"I haven't got a rouble. I swear to you, Semyon Mitritch, as God sees me: you give me the gun and I will go to-day with Ignashka and bring it you back again. I'll bring it back, strike me dead. May I have happiness neither in this world nor the next, if I don't."
"Semyon Mitritch, do give it," Ignat Ryabov says in his bass, and his voice betrays a passionate desire to get what he asks for.
"But what do you want the gun for?" sighs Semyon, sadly shaking his head. "What sort of shooting is there now? It's still winter outside, and no game at all but crows and jackdaws."
"Winter, indeed," says Slyunka, hooing the ash out of his pipe with his finger, "it is early yet of course, but you never can tell with the snipe. The snipe's a bird that wants watching. If you are unlucky, you may sit waiting at home, and miss his flying over, and then you must wait till autumn. . . . It is a business! The snipe is not a rook. . . . Last year he was flying the week before Easter, while the year before we had to wait till the week after Easter! Come, do us a favour, Semyon Mitritch, give us the gun. Make us pray for you for ever. As ill-luck would have it, Ignashka has pledged his gun for drink too. Ah, when you drink you feel nothing, but now . . . ah, I wish I had never looked at it, the cursed vodka! Truly it is the blood of Satan! Give it us, Semyon Mitritch!"
"I won't give it you," says Semyon, clasping his yellow hands on his breast as though he were going to pray. "You must act fairly, Filimonushka. . . . A thing is not taken out of pawn just anyhow; you must pay the money. . . . Besides, what do you want to kill birds for? What's the use? It's Lent now — you are not going to eat them."
Slyunka exchanges glances with Ryabov in embarrassment, sighs, and says: "We would only go stand-shooting."
"And what for? It's all foolishness. You are not the sort of man to spend your time in foolishness. . . . Ignashka, to be sure, is a man of no understanding, God has afflicted him, but you, thank the Lord, are an old man. It's time to prepare for your end. Here, you ought to go to the midnight service."
The allusion to his age visibly stings Slyunka. He clears his throat, wrinkles up his forehead, and remains silent for a full minute.
"I say, Semyon Mitritch," he says hotly, getting up and twitching not only in his right cheek but all over his face. "It's God's truth. . . . May the Almighty strike me dead, after Easter I shall get something from Stepan Kuzmitch for an axle, and I will pay you not one rouble but two! May the Lord chastise me! Before the holy image, I tell you, only give me the gun!"
"Gi-ive it," Ryabov says in his growling bass; they can hear him breathing hard, and it seems that he would like to say a great deal, but cannot find the words. "Gi-ive it."
"No, brothers, and don't ask," sighs Semyon, shaking his head mournfully. "Don't lead me into sin. I won't give you the gun. It's not the fashion for a thing to be taken out of pawn and no money paid. Besides — why this indulgence? Go your way and God bless you!"
Slyunka rubs his perspiring face with his sleeve and begins hotly swearing and entreating. He crosses himself, holds out his hands to the ikon, calls his deceased father and mother to bear witness, but Semyon sighs and meekly looks as before at the string of bread rings. In the end Ignashka Ryabov, hitherto motionless, gets up impulsively and bows down to the ground before the innkeeper, but even that has no effect on him.
"May you choke with my gun, you devil," says Slyunka, with his face twitching, and his shoulders, shrugging. "May you choke, you plague, you scoundrelly soul."
Swearing and shaking his fists, he goes out of the tavern with Ryabov and stands still in the middle of the road.
"He won't give it, the damned brute," he says, in a weeping voice, looking into Ryabov's face with an injured air.
"He won't give it," booms Ryabov.
The windows of the furthest huts, the starling cote on the tavern, the tops of the poplars, and the cross on the church are all gleaming with a bright golden flame. Now they can see only half of the sun, which, as it goes to its night's rest, is winking, shedding a crimson light, and seems laughing gleefully. Slyunka and Ryabov can see the forest lying, a dark blur, to the right of the sun, a mile and a half from the village, and tiny clouds flitting over the clear sky, and they feel that the evening will be fine and still.
"Now is just the time," says Slyunka, with his face twitching. "It would be nice to stand for an hour or two. He won't give it us, the damned brute. May he. . . "
"For stand-shooting, now is the very time . . ." Ryabov articulated, as though with an effort, stammering.
After standing still for a little they walk out of the village, without saying a word to each other, and look towards the dark streak of the forest. The whole sky above the forest is studded with moving black spots, the rooks flying home to roost. The snow, lying white here and there on the dark brown plough-land, is lightly flecked with gold by the sun.
"This time last year I went stand-shooting in Zhivki," says Slyunka, after a long silence. "I brought back three snipe."
Again there follows a silence. Both stand a long time and look towards the forest, and then lazily move and walk along the muddy road from the village.
"It's most likely the snipe haven't come yet," says Slyunka, "but may be they are here."
"Kostka says they are not here yet."
"Maybe they are not, who can tell; one year is not like another. But what mud!"
"But we ought to stand."
"To be sure we ought — why not?"
"We can stand and watch; it wouldn't be amiss to go to the forest and have a look. If they are there we will tell Kostka, or maybe get a gun ourselves and come to-morrow. What a misfortune, God forgive me. It was the devil put it in my mind to take my gun to the pothouse! I am more sorry than I can tell you, Ignashka."
Conversing thus, the sportsmen approach the forest. The sun has set and left behind it a red streak like the glow of a fire, scattered here and there with clouds; there is no catching the colours of those clouds: their edges are red, but they themselves are one minute grey, at the next lilac, at the next ashen.
In the forest, among the thick branches of fir-trees and under the birch bushes, it is dark, and only the outermost twigs on the side of the sun, with their fat buds and shining bark, stand out clearly in the air. There is a smell of thawing snow and rotting leaves. It is still; nothing stirs. From the distance comes the subsiding caw of the rooks.
"We ought to be standing in Zhivki now," whispers Slyunka, looking with awe at Ryabov; "there's good stand-shooting there."
Ryabov too looks with awe at Slyunka, with unblinking eyes and open mouth.
"A lovely time," Slyunka says in a trembling whisper. "The Lord is sending a fine spring . . . and I should think the snipe are here by now. . . . Why not? The days are warm now. . . . The cranes were flying in the morning, lots and lots of them."
Slyunka and Ryabov, splashing cautiously through the melting snow and sticking in the mud, walk two hundred paces along the edge of the forest and there halt. Their faces wear a look of alarm and expectation of something terrible and extraordinary. They stand like posts, do not speak nor stir, and their hands gradually fall into an attitude as though they were holding a gun at the cock. . . .
A big shadow creeps from the left and envelops the earth. The dusk of evening comes on. If one looks to the right, through the bushes and tree trunks, there can be seen crimson patches of the after-glow. It is still and damp. . . .
"There's no sound of them," whispers Slyunka, shrugging with the cold and sniffing with his chilly nose.
But frightened by his own whisper, he holds his finger up at some one, opens his eyes wide, and purses up his lips. There is a sound of a light snapping. The sportsmen look at each other significantly, and tell each other with their eyes that it is nothing. It is the snapping of a dry twig or a bit of bark. The shadows of evening keep growing and growing, the patches of crimson gradually grow dim, and the dampness becomes unpleasant.
The sportsmen remain standing a long time, but they see and hear nothing. Every instant they expect to see a delicate leaf float through the air, to hear a hurried call like the husky cough of a child, and the flutter of wings.
"No, not a sound," Slyunka says aloud, dropping his hands and beginning to blink. "So they have not come yet."
"It's early!"
"You are right there."
The sportsmen cannot see each other's faces, it is getting rapidly dark.
"We must wait another five days," says Slyunka, as he comes out from behind a bush with Ryabov. "It's too early!"
They go homewards, and are silent all the way.

A charming little story, with amusing insights into the nature of Russian country life back in the day.
I am unfamiliar with the term "stand-shooting" for snipe, although the name itself certainly suggests
what's involved. Since the would be hunters, in the story, seem to consider this style of snipe shooting
effective, it must have been in common usage. I remember a photo essay in Gray's Sporting Journal,
some years ago, on snipe shooting in Iran. One of the pictures showed a hunter, standing in a natural blind, shooting at a snipe flying overhead.. Could that photo have depicted what the hunters, in the story, are discussing ??
snipeinliterature
I think you are onto something with that image. That was the impression I was left with after reading this story. If you come across that pic again, please let me know. I'd love to share it here.
It was in an older Gray's Sporting Journal: Bird Hunting Edition.
I have saved most of the bird hunting editions, so I may still have it.
I'll look, at my saved copies, and let you know.

Huyton swimmer Alex Dunk (21) recently represented Prescot Swimming Club with pride at the British Swimming Championships, the premier swim meet in the UK.
Held in the Commonwealth Games pool in Glasgow, Alex raced against the country's best and out-performed his qualification times.
Alex raced in four events, the 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle, 200m individual medley and 400m individual medley, achieving an outstanding four lifetime best times and making the final of the 400m IM.
The British Swimming Championships are the toughest competition to enter and this year they also served as qualification for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
The event attracted lots of online interest and the live streaming was watched by his team mates back in Prescot SC and from other clubs who also train in the Prescot and St Helens Performance Squad.
Alex received tons of encouraging tweets, texts and Instagrams in support of his performances, and he was extremely grateful for all the support. Alex thanked his coach, Helen Billington, for helping him achieve these results.
Prescot SC also sent their congratulations to Alex for his excellent swims throughout the week and for inspiring the swimmers in Prescot SC and across the North West.

Q: The project wasn't generated by 'android' tool. Error in IntelliJ IDEA I've been struggling with an error with IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.4 when creating a new Android project.
I've tried all the possible solutions that I found online but never ran into any solution.
On the console panel it says "The project wasn't generated by 'android' tool."
First error while creating an Android Project :

http://s9.postimg.org/m0lyq2pzz/image.png

This is the warning that shows up after the first alert:

http://s15.postimg.org/gorcjvkbf/image.png
  `

However with the Eclipse, I can create an Android project (using the same SDK setup with IntelliJ and there are no errors.)
Also, when I import the project that I create in Eclipse previously, IntelliJ works just fine!
What could be IntelliJ's exact problem?

A: OK I solved it. It was Comodo Antivirus firewall. You may add some exceptions for adb.exe for the solution. but I uninstalled the whole AV.
Hope this helps those who have the same problem.

For the past couple of years I've been offering community presentations and workshops on complex trauma and body-centered healing, because I want this information to be as accessible as possible. I will continue to offer these presentations in person, but I'm also including pdfs of them at the bottom of this page, for you to access if you like.
In-person presentations and workshops explore the central characteristics of complex trauma or C-PTSD, a condition that can develop in the nervous system after experiences of neglect, abuse, sexual assault, ongoing stigma or marginalization, domestic violence, or other human dominance or brutality.
Combining slides, conversation, and opportunities for gentle movement through Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), in these presentations you can learn about causes and effects of complex trauma, and ways that it can shape how a person feels, thinks, and moves through the world. We also look at evidence that supports body-centered relational approaches to healing from complex trauma. and how this healing can happen in the context of TCTSY.
In-person presentations combine slideshow, conversation, and chair based TCTSY practice, and can be adapted to run 60 to 90 minutes.
Workshops run 2 to 4 hours, allowing more time for personal reflection, writing, a more extended TCTSY practice, and conversations about specific ways to apply principles of TCTSY and body-centered healing in working with people who have complex trauma.


In noting how badly pre-election polls underestimated the Conservatives' performance in the U.K. general election and overestimated Labour's result, Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight writes that "it's becoming harder to find an election in which polls did all that well."
He sites four other recent examples of polling problems: underestimating the size of the "no" side in the Scottish independence referendum; underestimating the GOP's performance in 2014 U.S. Senate races; badly underestimating Likud's performance in recent Israeli legislative elections; and underestimating Obama's performance in the 2012 general election by about three points nationwide. Silver points out that if that error went the other way, Romney would have won the popular vote and perhaps also the Electoral College.
Voters are becoming harder to contact, especially on landline telephones. Online polls have become commonplace, but some eschew probability sampling, historically the bedrock of polling methodology. And in the U.S., some pollsters have been caught withholding results when they differ from other surveys, "herding" toward a false consensus about a race instead of behaving independently.
This is not the first time we have heard concerns raised about the accuracy of polling, but we continue to rely on them somewhat uncritically and base our analysis on what we think they tell us.
Well, public polling companies aren't going to go out of business anytime soon, but when a politician finds himself or herself on the lousy end of a survey, maybe we shouldn't laugh when she or he says that the only poll that counts is the one held on Election Day.
Having said that, I love polls and will continue to treat them like Gospel truth because they give us so much to talk and write about, and isn't that the point?
And besides, who likes going into Election Day not knowing the likely outcome? Way too nerve-racking.

National mountain biking competition coming to Winter Park

Winter Park Resort's Trestle Bike Park is getting more national exposure with the announcement that next summer it will host the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Championships.
The six-day event will be held July 23 through July 28 and includes races in a variety of disciplines, such as downhill, cross-country, short-track cross country, enduro, team relay and the spectator-friendly dual slalom.
"It means a lot, not only is it just, in terms of visitation and the number of people who are going to be here, but the national exposure that we'll get from a lot of people who maybe have never been to Winter Park before who will get a chance to try us out is really exciting," said Steve Hurlbert, director of public relations and communications for the resort.
Each event has categories for juniors, amateurs and professionals, so riders ranging in age from six to 70 will have a chance to compete. USA Cycling estimates over 1,200 participants at the event next summer.
For the past two years the event was held in Snowshoe, West Virginia, but Hurlbert said the resort and the town of Winter Park had been working with USA Cycling to bring the event west.
"I think they realize the facilities that we have and, obviously, Trestle Bike Park have a well-earned reputation," Hurlbert said. "They chose us for a reason and that's because we do these events really, really well and they know that. We'll just do our thing, just at a larger scale."
The resort also plans to offer ancillary events for spectators and enthusiasts, though the details are still being worked out.
Hurlbert said though the event is larger than any they have put on in the past, the bike park is prepared to handle the scale of riders.
This past summer, Trestle added 1.5 miles of trails to its terrain and Hurlbert said the resort is planning to continue expanding offerings to diversify trails.


The RTML Tip section is intended for advanced Yahoo! Store users. It assumes that you have a basic understanding of how custom templates work and how to enter and change templates. If you are new to RTML, we recommend that you purchase one of the RTML books available here or at www.monitus.com. Look at http://www.ytimes.info/howtomodtem.html for a brief tutorial on how to modify and use customized templates.
The following example shows you how to replace the built-in graphical navigation bar with one that has regular text hyperlinks. To do this, you will need to create two custom templates and modify a built-in one.
The two custom templates to create are my-nav-bar and text-button. My-nav-bar is the template that will generate the navigation buttons (hyperlinks) based on the button settings in the store (the Buttons property of the home page and the Nav-buttons global variable.) This template is loosely based on the built-in nav-button template so it is easier to first copy that template and then change it to match the one shown below.
The next template, text-button, simply creates a hyperlink. It also puts a vertical space below the link. The height of this vertical space will be controlled by the value of the button-edge-width variable (but you can change this to suit your needs.) Please note that in your store you will have to replace yourstoreid with the Yahoo! ID of your own store.
Finally, you'll need to change your copy of the side-nav template.


It's joining the ranks of other fermented food like yoghurt, kimchi and sauerkraut — all probiotic powerhouses touted for their benefits to gastrointestinal health. While it may not have the star power of Greek yoghurt yet, a kombucha craze may soon take hold.
That's thanks in part to Eric and Jessica Childs, the husband-wife team from Prospect Heights behind Kombucha Brooklyn.
Since 2007, their kombucha blends like Straight Up, Red Ginger and Lemon Drop have been sold in bottles and on tap at New York's food markets and grocery stores. As business began to boom, Eric and Jessica found themselves with a lot of extra 'buch on their shelves, so they started cooking with it.
Their new book "Kombucha!" – on sale November 5 and available for pre-order on kombuchabrooklyn.com – is chock-full of recipes starring the sweet, cidery and slightly fizzy beverage as a salad dressing, braising liquid, cocktail mixer and more, as well as instructions for how to brew your own 'buch at home.
In the holistic health world, kombucha's potent combo of tea, sugar, yeast and bacteria has been credited with boosting immunity, improving digestion and relieving skin problems, and both Childses say they've benefited.
Eric suffered from heartburn and adult acne in his 20s, while Jessica, a microbiologist with a certificate from the National Gourmet Institute, had developed a painful "yucky gut" from years of travelling and eating abroad. Those issues cleared up after brewing and drinking kombucha on a regular basis.


Is the SaferVPN Coupon Real?
Finding deals online can be tricky, but luckily there are amazing deals out there that you just simply can't pass up. Premium VPN providers can be rather expensive, so it's important to catch the best deals so you can to save money on your subscription.
Currently, SaferVPN has an amazing coupon on offer, saving you up to 81% on your subscription.
To activate this coupon, all you need to do is subscribe to either their 1-year, 2-year, or 3-year plan. Depending on which you choose, you will pay $65.88 every 12 months (58% saving), $78.96 every 24 months (75% saving), or $89.99 every 36 months (81% saving). This is a major saving when compared to the price of other VPNs on the market.
Identifying whether a coupon is real or fake is crucial for your online safety. Fake coupons can be used to steal your personal and financial information, as well as install malware and viruses onto your device.
Looking at where to coupon comes from provides a good indicator of whether it's legitimate or not. If the coupon is advertised on the site that it's used for, there's a high chance it's real.
Despite this, you must ensure that the site can be trusted. If you're unsure of the legitimacy of a site, you can look up reviews to see if others have also used it to purchase goods or services. Additionally, take a look at the URL of the website. If the URL starts with "https" you know that it is secured, but if it starts with "http", then there's a chance that it can't be trusted.
The whole point of a coupon is to save you money, so it makes little sense to pay for a coupon. Some scammers out there make copies of coupons and sell them to unsuspecting internet shoppers. This is theft and fraud. Do not fall for this. If you are required to pay to use a coupon, it is likely a fake.
If a coupon is legitimate, there should be a link to their store. Why wouldn't a company want their coupon to take you right to the website to use it? If there's no link to the website, then you should be cautious on whether it's legitimate or not. Do your best to trace the coupon back to its source to ensure it can be trusted.
There can be multiple fake SaferVPN coupons littered across the internet, fortunately, we know that this coupon is real. By looking at the URL, we see that it's a secure website, and through reviews and our own personal experience, we know this site can be trusted. Additionally, you don't have to pay to use the coupon as the discount applies when you subscribe to the service it's intended for.
These identifiers tell us that we can trust this coupon and it is absolutely fine to use.
With security to match the best in the game, SaferVPN offers a secure AES 256-bit encryption as well as other great features. With this encryption, you'll be safe from snoopers, hackers, cybercriminals, and other online threats. Up to this point, the AES 256-bit encryption has yet to be cracked.
During tests, we had little to no connection issues and were able to connect to each server no problem. Furthermore, performance was relatively impressive, with some servers showing faster speeds than others, but otherwise, SaferVPN is great for streaming.
Torrenting is allowed on SaferVPN but it is very limited, currently, you can only torrent on their Netherlands, Spain, and Canada servers. This is nice, because these countries haev relaxed torrenting laws.
We were happy with the download speeds we got when downloading a movie from the Pirate Bay, using the uTorrent client. It took about 8 minutes to download the Avengers Infinity Wars movie.
During our tests, we were able to connect to and watch Netflix using their servers that are optimized for streaming in the UK and US. We we able to stream entire episodes without encountering any quality issues.
Unfortunately, when we tried to connect to other servers such as Germany, we were met with the dreaded Netflix proxy error message.
For a month-to-month subscription of SaferVPN, you're looking at $12.95 per month, which is rather expensive, similar to major players such as ExpressVPN , NordVPN , and CyberGhost . If you want to pay a smaller monthly price, then signing up for a year or more would be better.
That's what makes this 81% SaferVN coupon so attractive, it really drops the price, making this an affordable option.
After many tests and much consideration, we believe that SaferVPN provides a great VPN service that is packed full of features, although these features are lacking in some areas. In regards to security, SaferVPN is up there with the biggest competitors. However, if you want to use the VPN primarily for streaming, then you may want to look elsewhere.
Without the coupons on offer, this VPN can be quite pricey. As a result, we strongly recommend that if you are going to choose SaferVPN, then you sign up using one of the available coupons.


I was thrilled to attend my very first Maker Faire recently, and it more then exceeded my expectations. Between all the neat craft demos, solar driven couches, neon and interactive digital sound displays, toothpick man, and personalized robots, it was enough to bring out the geek in all of us.
"Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz are the mad scientists behind eepy bird. Fritz, the short, bearded guy, is also a professional juggler. Stephen, the tall, bald guy, is also a lawyer. In 2006 Fritz and Stephen created "Experiment #137: The Extreme Diet Coke and Mentos Experiments" which became a viral video sensation."
and The Today Show, so that should tell you something.
If the guys had just launched into their demonstration without any kind of information or background, it would not have been as exciting or suspenseful. They spent nearly half an hour creating curiosity in the audience, discussing the intricacies of the experiment, and providing sneak previews of what we might expect, thereby building anticipation.
Fritz and Stephen clearly established why they were the right people to be showing the demo. They had originated the experiment. The had gained social proof by getting thousands of views on YouTube. They knew from experience that diet Coke that was too cold would not produce the same dramatic effect, and that Pepsi was not preferred, as it was just plain stickier.
They knew they had a lot of kids in the audience, so they made quite a production of the fact that kids standing in a certain area would be likely to get wet. Cheers and applause! Why? Because guess what...kids love to get wet, and even for us adults, planned messes are a great stress reliever. Not to mention that we have our own inner child to please.
Fritz and Stephen heightened the experienced by not only adding musical accompaniment to the event, but timing the fountains to the music. They also added drama to the event by using several hundred bottles of Coke, as well as 500 Mentos!
They announced that they had recently put together a kit for purchase, so that you too could create these exciting experiments at home. This made us feel part of the experience, and more like participants, not only observers. So, we had a vested interest in watching...we wanted to get it right when we tried it at home, to amaze our families and friends.
These guys really thought through how to make their ideas a business model. Not only do they get paid for appearances, but their online store features the at home kit, cool t-shirts, and DVD's.
I may not try the Mentos experiment at home, but I got a great marketing lesson to keep in mind, next time I want to build a little fizz -- I mean, buzz.
How about you, how do you build your buzz?
Thank you very much for sharing these techniques. I'll be sure to try them as well.
That's really a great marketing strategy. Thanks.
This is a great way to get the people involved with the product, thank you very much for sharing this idea.
Thanks for your comment, Len!
I love your blog and I keep coming back to it. Knowing your target market is very important with out it you wouldn't know which market to tap. Thanks.
"Sell the Experience" is definitely a key in making your brand and posts viral. An interesting niche would find a safe haven in the internet, wherein people are constantly finding things that would entertain them.


Your tour and activity website is more than just an online storefront. It's a portal into your brand, and it needs to function efficiently and effectively. Implementing a visually appealing and responsive website design is the first step in creating a space on the internet for your brand, but, next, you need to customize it using widgets. But what are widgets? And what are the top widgets for tour and activity websites?
Web widgets are small programs that can be embedded into a website in order to increase its functionality and appeal. A widget could be as simple as a voting poll or as complex as a secure payment portal for online transactions. Widgets are so common that most people don't even realize that they are scattered across most websites.
Payment Widgets — Payment widgets can be installed on your tour and activity website so that you can easily accept payment for bookings that are made online. In addition to your secure payment portal, you may want to consider payment widgets for common payment service sites like PayPal or Apple Wallet. There are many travelers around the world who prefer to use these third-party websites to pay because they do not want to continually give out their personal financial information. By adding these widgets to your website, you will appeal to a broader audience and likely receive more bookings for your tours and activities.
Online Booking Widgets — If you own a tour and activity company and you have a website for your brand, then an online booking widget is absolutely essential. Online booking widgets allow you to connect your website to your property management system. It gives your customers the power to book their own tours and activities at their convenience, without having to make a phone call or wait for an e-mail confirmation from you. Online booking widgets allow you to automate the process of making reservations at your tour and activity company, and using these widgets also minimizes the risk of overbooking your tours and activities.
Social Widgets — Social widgets create a bridge between your website and your social feeds. There are social widgets available for nearly every platform, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TripAdvisor. Each social widget has a different function and can enhance your website in various ways. For example, a Twitter widget can display your live Twitter feed on your website, while a TripAdvisor widget will display the reviews that you have received on this popular travel platform. Ideally, you should include two or three different social widgets on your website to increase engagement and visibility online.
With widgets, you can customize your website so that is optimized for your target audience. As you discover new widgets that you think would improve the online booking journey of your website visitors, you can easily add them to your website design. It's important to remember that your tour and activity website is always a work in progress.

Head to big win paradise with Hola Frutas from Stakelogic
Latest slot from in-demand developer takes players to a beautiful island packed full of Wilds, Multipliers and Free Spins
Malta: 28th July 2022 – Dreaming of that much-needed summer holiday? Stakelogic is taking players to a tropical island where the waters are crystal clear, the beaches are white, and the trees are packed full of juicy fruits and potentially big wins.
Hola Frutas is a 6×6 reel slot where the total number of identical symbols on the screen at the end of the spin determines the value of the win, with a base game max win of 5,000x the player's bet.
Players will want to keep an eye out for the calm waters turning choppy; the Wave Feature can crash over the reels at random on any losing spin. When it does, the bottom three rows of symbols are washed away causing a cascade and the chance for new win opportunities to land.
Hola Frutas comes hooked up to Stakelogic's innovative Super Stake feature which allows players to double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus feature triggering and insane win combinations landing. In this game, it adds Multipliers of up to x100. Fruity indeed.
It would not be a Stakelogic game without Free Spins and Hola Frutas does not disappoint in this regard. Before the Free Games start, one of the nine regular symbols is selected and remains Sticky as long as new symbols land during the following spins.
Special symbols can also drop and when they do and form a winning combination they remain in place. It is possible for the Sticky symbol to cover the entire game board – if it does, the Free Games end and the last spin pays twice.
Multipliers can land throughout Free Spins with possible values of x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10 and x12. Question Mark symbols can also burst onto the reels and reveal even higher Multipliers of x15, x20, x25, x50 and x100.
The team at Stakelogic know just how much players like to access the Free Spins feature, so they have added the option to Buy the Bonus with three choices available – Normal, Deluxe and Random.
Olga Bajela, CCO from Stakelogic, said: "We all dream of heading to paradise and with Hola Frutas players can do just that. But more awaits than just sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters – Wilds, Multipliers and Free Spins ensure a trip to this slot game is the trip of a lifetime."

Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 is a substrain of the L. Acidophilus species of probiotic bacteria. This proprietary strain was developed by a researcher at the University of Nebraska and has been studied for its benefits for digestive health and immunity.
Probiotics are good forms of bacteria that naturally reside in the intestines and colon. These good bacteria are important for preventing the spread of bad or "pathogenic" bacteria. They also play a role in digestion and help the body synthesize important compounds like vitamins.
The Lactobacillus family of probiotics are Lactic-Acid producing bacteria and they help to preserve the health pH balance of the digestive tract. There are over 400 different species of probiotic bacteria that have been identified in the human biome.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus is one of the most prevalent and is widely available in probiotic supplements.
The Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 strain is manufactured according to specific quality-control standards and stabilizing techniques. Each capsule of this probiotic provides a minimum of 2.5 billion colony forming units (CFUs).
Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 is a probiotic strain discover in the 1950's by Dr. Khem Shahani at the University of Nebraska. Dr. Shahani started Nebraska Cultures in 1981 to manufacture probiotics.
This probiotic is available as a loose powder, as a capsule or tablets. Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 is stomach and bile resistant so it is viable when it reaches the gut.
Another manufacturer of L. acidophilus DDS-1 (UAS Labs) produces a culture that is stable for up to two years at ambient temperature (23°C) when blended with a low water activity microcrystalline cellulose.
This probiotic is used to inhibit the Heliobacter pylori bacterium that causes stomach ulcers and helps to regulate the stools to prevent diarrhea and constipation. This probiotic strain produces B-vitamins and folic acid and helps reduce lactose intolerance.
Clinical studies have shown it helps to inhibit 23 toxic microorganisms and helps relieve dermatitis and is used for acute respiratory infections.
The Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 probiotic produces enzymes that help to breakdown proteins and fats. Fermented dairy products with this probiotic have higher levels of B12 and folic acid.
In animal clinical studies with rats, L. Acidophilus DDS-1 was shown to have a cholesterol lowering effect. Lactobacilli bind bile acids to cholesterol which increases the bile acid cholesterol excretion.
This probiotic also increased the fatty acid production in the intestine. This action decreases circulatory fatty acid concentrations by inhibiting hepatic cholesterol synthesis or by redistributing cholesterol from the plasma to the liver.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 has also been shown to have anti-carcinogenic properties when tested in rat animal studies with induced colon tumors. The DDS-1 fed rats clinical group had significantly reduce cases of tumor incidence compared to the control group.
Another clinical animal studies with mice showed that DDS-1 was able to stimulate the production of immune components (interleukin-1? and tumor necrosis factor-?) that are known inhibitors of tumor cells.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 is effective for treating Traveler's diarrhea. Two capsules of this probiotic were taken with a CFU (Colony forming units) of one billion one week prior to travel and during the entire time travelled in high risk areas of Guatemala, Mexico or Nepal. The average diarrhea rate was 3% for those taking the probiotic supplement compared to the usual expected rate of 25 to 30%.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 has been shown to be effective in treating atopic dermatitis in a clinical study published in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology in 2010. Preschool children taking DDS-1 were significantly improved in the SCORAD (Scoring atopic dermatitis) values compared to the placebo group.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 also has antibacterial and anti-pathogenic effects.
This probiotic produces an antibacterial compound acidophlin which inhibits Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens, and Escherichia coli, which can all cause food poisoning.
Proteus mirabilis can cause kidney stones as well as wound infections, septicemia, and pneumonia especially in hospitalized patients.
Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium infections are being seen more in HIV and malaria patients and immune compromised individuals.
Staphylococcus aureuscauses MRSA and Staphylococcus faecalis is found in diseased teeth and causes endocarditis (inflamed heart valve).
Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 is well tolerated, but mild side effects have been reported when first using this supplement. This probiotic may cause intestinal gas initially when taken and this symptom usually lessens as the body adjusts to taking the probiotic.
While probiotics are generally safe for healthy adults, there is a risk of side effects if taken by individuals who are immunocompromised in some way. Probiotics should not be taken by those with impaired immune systems such as organ donor recipients or those on immunosuppressive medication.
Those with SBS (Short Bowel Syndrome) or those using a catheter should avoid taking probiotics. Probiotics do interact with anti-biotics and should be taken at least two hours apart from each other.
Unless otherwise directed, probiotics should not be taken whilst pregnant or while breastfeeding. Some strains may be appropriate for pregnant or nursing mothers. You should speak to your doctor to learn about recommended products and dosages during pregnancy or lactation.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus dds-1 has applications for inhibiting infections, in the treatment of dermatitis and skin disorders and allergic conditions. It is also useful in regulating stools for relieving diarrhea and constipation. This probiotic strain is also being studied for its anti-tumor properties in the treatment of cancer.

Couponer Attacked for "Taking Too Long" in a Kroger Checkout Line
Author: Stephanie | Updated December 15, 2016 Couponing
Couponer Attacked for "Taking Too Lon...
A couponing mom was attacked this weekend in a Kroger store in Memphis, TN.
Last Friday before midnight, Megan Wilson, an experienced couponer, said she was trying to complete three transactions at her local Kroger store when a man in line behind her grew agitated that it was taking so long for her to finish.
At first he voiced his frustration saying things like "You're wasting everybody's time…Nobody has time for this!" Wilson said she tried to be polite, suggesting that he use the self-checkout lane if it was bothering him to wait.
But she said he refused and his annoyance grew to anger and he began to verbally harass her, calling her a "junkie" and a "crackhead." A verbal altercation between her and the man ensued.
After Wilson finished her three transactions, the man came and stood right next to her. According to Wilson, she "accidentally bumped her arm on the credit card machine as she turned to go and spilled her drink on him."
He grabbed her hair and bashed her head into the shopping cart three times.
Her cart's contents spilled everywhere. Wilson took this picture.
Via Megan Wilson
There were security guards and employees watching the altercation, but Wilson says they didn't move to help. The attacker abandoned his items and ran away.
The security guards told Wilson they would go outside and get his license plate and information, but they weren't able to get anything.
Memphis police have since released the security footage and they are asking anyone who has information about the attacker to contact Tillman Station GIB at 901-636-3214.

What happens to critical assets on decommissioning?
The HMAS Melbourne (III) was decommissioned on Saturday 26th October, berthing at Garden Island, Sydney, for the last time. It was a poignant ceremony, especially for the two-hundred men and women who served aboard the ship.
The ship has over two decades of service to this nation. She was deployed on operations across the globe, including the Middle East eight times, and earning battle honours for her service in East Timor and the Persian Gulf1.The ship's motto is 'she gathers strength as she goes'2 which is as fine a motto as you'll ever hear and, given her capability right to decommissioning, rings perfectly true.
