Vagrant is an open-source software product for building and maintaining portable virtual development environments.
I worked already in many projects with a distributed developer/analysts team that needs to work on shared data with shared software development. In those projects the usage of different operating systems, databases, networking solutions, user rights and so on often hinders the work on data and solutions: You need to deal with problems originating from the infrastructure on the user side instead of problems related with the data or algorithms.
One of the classics is the usage of databases and the connections to a GIS. This often requires the setting of parameters and usage rights. If you're working on the same machine, this might work fine. But if you are not aware that your colleague is working on a Windows OS and you're running on Mac this might create some problems if you would like to use some Jupyter scripts to get, alter, analyze and store data.
OSGeo-Live is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around.
But sometimes you might just need a simple, but still custom system for your desired needs which can be shared and also altered by using git for example… An image might not be good for this at all.
Let's assume we are working with colleagues and would like to provide a working environment for our colleagues. People should be able to log in, use gis with a GUI and also to work on websites in a git way.
In this first section I'll describe how to set this up.
First you need to install Vagrant on a system. This applies to the user of your vagrant box as well as to the creator. Vagrant will deal with the setup and configuration of your box but you'll also need an "interpretor" of your box which is a virtual machine in the end. My weapon of choice is Virtualbox. So install Virtualbox as well! This should work without a real problem as both programs come with binaries for all major operating systems and there is no custom build needed.
As most of the software we are using have their origins in the Open Source world, we will use a Linux based system by using a minimal Ubuntu version (without a GUI :-/). But despite downloading this we will first create a local folder and place a plain text file in there named "Vagrantfile". The content of the text file will define the base settings of our virtual machine.
Once saved we're ready to "start" our local machine by running the command "vagrant up". To destroy the machine run "vagrant destroy". See more commands here.
Now vagrant downloads the files for the machine (could take some time) and does the so-called "provisioning".
This allows you to automatically install software, alter configurations, and more on the machine as part of the vagrant up process.
Now I can add every software package I like in the provision.sh file and this will be executed on every host (feels like superpower).
add-apt-repository "deb http://qgis.org/debian xenial main"
add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg main"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER vagrant PASSWORD 'secret';"
config.vm.provision "file", source: "config_files/QGIS/QGIS2.conf", destination: "/home/vagrant/.config/QGIS/QGIS2.conf"
The QGIS2.conf file holds all relevant information for the moment.
Now let's move on to data. One way of keeping all the data versioned is the usage of git. I am aware that this is not the most suitable way to achieve this but it is a possible one.
config.vm.synced_folder "data/", "/vagrant/data/", type: "rsync"
As our project file and data files get updated ones a user adds or changes a layer (must be inside the data folder) we see the changes also on the host machine. We can share the changes using git with others.
config.vm.synced_folder "config_files/", "/vagrant/config_files/", type: "rsync"
Now every user can add updated quake data inside his QGIS project if he likes. If we change the project we also change it on the host system (as this is syncronized).
But be aware: Not all changes are tracked and visible outside the guest. If we push data to the databse inside the guest we have no idea about this everywhere else. Also it might be easy to get data and qgis-project file out of order if you use layers from the postgis table inside your project. Try to recreate changes on the DB inside the provision file maybe.
Vagrant can create standardized working machines for your GIS work and with git you can share your infrastructure and data changes. Keep your hands of the DB! If you want to try it out by yourself: You'll find all relevant files on github.

Q: Http Core to handle requests in Android Does the server in the link work in Android?
When I try to use the constructor,
HttpService(HttpProcessor processor, ConnectionReuseStrategy connStrategy, HttpResponseFactory responseFactory, HttpRequestHandlerResolver handlerResolver, HttpParams params)

Eclipse says constructor is not defined. Eclipse gives a quick fix to change the constructor as:
HttpService(HttpProcessor proc, ConnectionReuseStrategy connStrategy, HttpResponseFactory responseFactory)

How will I register the handler for my requests in this case?
Thanks in advance!

A: Use setHandlerResolver method to set handler. Link

Essentially the same as the previous photo, however with a better view of the Hill Housing Area (background) and FM Hill (MARS Hill) appearing as the "bump" at the left side of the photo. The Wagner Walkway (left center) built in 1981 through the FM Washout by AVL Construction continues in service as a thoroughfare for golfers making their rounds. Note that pyroclastic (volcanic) mud can still be seen in what's left of the FM Washout.

📝Match Report: Grimsby Town v Swindon Town
Town boss Michael Jolley agreed that it was a hard-fought win in difficult conditions against Swindon Town today.
Speaking on iFollow, Jolley said: "Two things that were particularly difficult about today's game - firstly the conditions. It felt like we were deep in the first half, but the wind was so strong, it was really tough to get out. And Swindon came into the game with three wins in a row - they are not a bad team. We've got to show them respect and they made it difficult for us all the way through the game.
"We haven't won ugly too often this season, but I think today was the case-in-point where we really dug in and got the three points."

Shanna & Jim Officiate at the start line in the official orange shirts.
You can't really understand the beginnings of the Springer House/New Richmond Cardboard Boat Regatta in New Richmond, Ohio unless you know about the Springer House.
The Springer House is a majestic brick building that sits on Front Street facing the mighty Ohio River. It was built as a riverboat hotel and mercantile building in 1893. Over the years, it has housed many different types of businesses and was called home by many. It watched over decades of changes along the river and slowly fell into decline.
Nearly a century after it was built, Jim and Shanna Morarity bought the Springer House. It took two years of hard work and sweat to renovate the historic building. Upon completion in 1992, the upstairs of the building was apartments and the downstairs housed a variety of shops including craft and specialty stores, a bakery, and ice cream shop. At the time, there was a group of business owners and members of the Business Association that wanted to draw customers from near and far to the lovely village… but how? Creative ideas were welcomed.
They learned that not only was Patrick's brother coming right before the 4th of July, but that he was willing to show them how to make and race one of these boats. Jim and Shanna thought that New Richmond was a perfect spot for such a competition! The riverbank provided the perfect course and the wall provided a great spectator viewing area.
They learned a lot during that first event. One, to ditch the instant boat for later years because it was too time consuming, and two, the races were great fun! In fact, they had so much fun and spectator interest that they decided to promote the event for the following year.
Categories included the fastest time for single and multi-crews, the most creative use of cardboard, the titanic award. Being on a limited budget, they came up with the idea of wooden paddles and various plaques for awards.
The races were a hit and the Springer House Regatta was established. As more and more racers entered, more and more categories were added. Businesses and individuals, adults and youth got involved and learned to build and race a cardboard boat.
Then, with the help of Marty and Liz Briede and Ray and Nancy Perszyk, and the diligent group of cardboard boat enthusiast, (many who now run the Cardboard Board Museum) the races became very popular.
In fact,the race had gotten so popular that The RiverDays Committee came knocking on the Springer House Committee's door.
The event formally became the New Richmond Cardboard Boat Regatta and became the premier attraction at the yearly River Days Festival.
The 2016 will be the 24th Annual Regatta and we expect over 70 boats showing up on the Ohio Riverfront. It takes a large volunteer group to put on the races, but the main man behind the scenes is "Cardboard Boat Ray." He's the show cheerleader and takes care of all the marketing logistics.
the hard working people at the Cardboard Boat Museum that truly keep the Regatta & Museum visible all year long. They are the genuine aficionados that make and race boats all year.
The original volunteer Cardboard Boat Committee plus many others work together on the 3P's: promote, prepare and pull off the event!
The races can now boast a spectator crowd of many thousands of people every year.
The races have grown to 14 heats designed to meet the interests and needs of many types of participants.
There are adult and youth categories, multi-crew and single captain boats.
There are boats entered to display their sleek, fast run times and others to display the creative juices of their crew. How many people can successfully (or not) row a pirate ship?
to herself & proudly headed home.

Q: Regex for username consisting alphabets, numbers and underscore I have been into a serious trouble with RegEx. I have to make a username regex and the requirement is as follows:

*

*Only small alphabets, numbers and underscores are allowed.

*The username can consist of only alphabets or only numbers or a mix of all.

*Underscore cannot be at the start or end.

*Multiple underscores in a row, are not allowed.

*Total username would not be more than 20 characters and less than three. (Optional. Because without regex that can be checked)

I am giving some possible examples:
a_123,
1_1,
amit12343,
12ami,
a_457_h,
abc,
456
I have already created a solution which is ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_]{1,18}[a-z0-9]$
In my above solution, all the requirements do suffice except multiple underscores in a row like a__a, ab___123
Can anyone please show me the correct way?
Edit 1: I have tried all the other solutions obviously before posting such a long question on StackOverflow. But all those didn't solve my problem, that's why I have asked. Multiple underscores in a row are passing with my regex which shouldn't and that's why I asked for a community help.
Edit 2: After seeing a lot of references from Revo, I got a way to create the short and crisp solution of my above scenario.
^(?=.{3,20}$)[a-z0-9]+([_][a-z0-9]+)*$
In the beginning, a positive lookahead to check the minimum and maximum character of the username, the next phase explains that alphabets, numbers are allowed more than once. After that one or more underscores are allowed but not in a row.
You can check the demo.


Sweat in style this year! From metallic fitness wear to laser cut sports bra, the gym apparel trends are worth taking a look at. Let's get started!
Hey fitness lovers! While the benefits of working out are unarguable, it still is super-hard to motivate ourselves to head to the gym every day. Plus, it does get boring to work out in the same type of outfits everyday! But wearing the trendy and new ones gives us the spirit to work out more efficiently (at least that helps for me)! Of course, when it comes to fitness wear, while we concentrate on the style, but we can't ever forget the comfort and performance. So, if you're planning to revamp your gym apparel and sports wardrobe, look out for these 9 trendy fitness wear when you go for shopping next.
Ditch the sleeveless crop tops and go for the full sleeved crop tops this year. Yeah, it may sound tricky to wear a full-sleeved as you are already sweating. But thankfully this trend is just confined to crop tops and not other gym apparel like tank tops and tees or sports bra. (Imagine a full sleeved sports bra, lol)! Plus full sleeved crop tops will still be wearable next fall and winter, especially during those chilly morning jogs! Pair them with color blocked pants to rock the two major gym apparel trends. We're seeing this trend in CrossFit apparels.
Plain, printed and color blocked are some of the styles we've already seen in sports bras but the trend that is popping up this year laser cut sports bra. Laser cut on neckline, strap or at the back – all are trendy. We're seeing both patterned and block-shaped laser cuts. So, go for it girls!
The metallic gym apparel trend is so gorge! I'm loving this trend. Maybe its because the metallic trend in fitness wear gives me similar vibes as the ones I feel when going to a party and also the same excitement! From sports bra to tank tops to leggings, go for the metallic shades in your fave gym apparels like copper, gold, silver and even metallic blue.
Neon outfits, neon nail paint and now neon shoes! Although the neon nail paint trend is completely outdated, the neon shoes are making waves in high-fashion sports brands. Neon colors like alloy orange, frostbite, green lizard, laser lemon, shocking pink (don't they have cool names!) are a few colors that are dominating the shoe racks of sports brands.
While mesh leggings were the #1 trend in fitness clothing trends for 2017, this year we're seeing mesh panels in almost all gym apparel categories. Especially, mesh panels on sports bra. V-shaped mesh panel on the neckline is the most popular trending thing. Leggings with mesh panels are still trendy, we're especially loving chic ergonomic shaped panels that give a dynamic look.
Both cropped and long mesh tops are trendy. Put on a sports bra and wear a mesh top to follow this trend. Go for either tiny or large mesh patterns as both are ruling the gym apparel trends. Mesh tops are also more breathable and hopefully, they'll make you feel less sweaty. I'm loving the black mesh top by Adidas paired with a metallic sports bra and running shorts.
Time to show off your favorite designers! From Adidas to Calvin Klien, designers are loving their logos on the gym apparels and especially on the sports bra.
The trend of color blocking is not fading away any soon! We saw this as one of the fitness trends last year, and it has made its mark even in 2018's gym apparel trends. Color blocking is also helpful when you want to hide your problem areas! If you think metallic leggings are too much, then you can opt for metallic color blocking on them. Also, a trendy option is to match your color blocked leggings with a fitness hoodie!
So, these are the latest gym apparel trends. I'm loving the metallic fitness wear trend. Which one are you looking to adorn for your next fitness session? Do let us know by tweeting @shilpa1ahuja.
Generally I do not comment on blogs but your article is so convincing that I couldn't stop myself to say something about it. You're a great blogger, continue it.

Q: Share test result TRX file I have the Enterprise edition of Visual Studio, but not everyone does.
How can I share the TRX so that other people can see the results?  I've seen that there are several Trx to HTML convertors but they're all quite old and either don't work any more or don't show the details of the test.

A: Most of the results of a load test are stored in a database. The TRX file has only a very small portion of the results - you can easily see what it actually contains by opening the file in Notepad, it is just XML.
Visual Studio trial versions have some support for load tests. (They only support a small number of virtual users and do not support plugins.) They might allow viewing and analysis of the results of runs done on other computers. This limited support of load tests might also be available on licenced Non-Enterprise  versions.
The results of individual load test runs, or groups of runs, can be copioed from one computer to another by using the Export and Import commands in the "Open and manage load test results" window. These create and read LTRAR files. See here for more details.
The TRX file contains a connection string to the SQL database and so the file cannot normally be copied and then work properly on another computer. The encoded connection string is located within the resultsRepositoryConnectString=... attribute within the TRX file. Changing the value in a copied file to a value found in a working TRX file on the destination computer allows the copied file to work. See here for more details.
The only other options for viewing results on other computers would be by exporting the results in Excel by using the "Create Excel Report" command. (Access it via the icons on the "Summary - Graphs - Tables - Details - ..." line in the load test results viewer.)

A: For unit tests, but not load tests, I routinely export trx files from my unit tests, because they ARE shareable, can be placed as attachments into our launch control systems, and DO contain all of the data necessary for the downstream teams to verify the results, including test console output.  I do this with a custom task added to the project that runs the vstest.console.exe, with the /logger:trx;logfilename="blah" command line switch.  The full task line is:
<Exec Command=""$(DevEnvDir)commonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vsTest.console.exe" "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\$(OutputPath)$(AssemblyName).dll" /logger:trx;LogFileName="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\testResults.trx"" />

You can also add ContinueOnError="true" if you don't want a test failure to stop the build.
MSTest still seems to ship with visual studio, supposedly does support load tests, and historically has exported TRX files, but I haven't tried it.  Running pre-2019 unit test projects, that still have tasks pointed to mstest, in vs2019 tend to fail with assembly version errors, so I don't know if it even still works at all.


With the closure of Google Labs, a number of projects' futures were in doubt. One of these was Google's App Inventor for Android, released just over a year ago. App Inventor which was designed to allow non-programmers to create Android applications by dragging, dropping and connecting blocks of code to create a complete application. Initially, Google said the App Inventor service would be untouched except for a new URL.
But Google has now confirmed that its hosted service for the proprietary application creation system will close by the end of the year. It is planning to open source the code that powers the system, and says that, as App Inventor was a success "in the education space", it is hoping to make special provision for that use on an open source educational platform.
No details have been given about which licence will be used, what requirements the App Inventor software will have or exactly when the code will be open sourced. Comments on the announcement also raised concerns that the audience for the application, namely inexperienced non-programmers, may not have the resources or ability to handle a server-side project such as App Inventor on their own.


Brevard Outpatient Alternative Treatment is an outpatient treatment facility located in Satellite Beach, Florida. The facility opened in 1980 and initially focused on the treatment of adolescents and their families who were facing difficulties with substance abuse. The CEO and founder, John W. Holdsworth, worked to develop a program that is accessible, understandable and performance-based to assist adolescents and their families. Today BOAT accommodates adults and adolescents, with two unique programs tailored to fit their unique needs, treating substance abuse disorders and DUI convicted individuals.
Prior to admission, all clients undergo a bio-psycho-social assessment, meeting with a counselor to develop an individualized treatment plan. Several recovery tracks are available at BOAT, including adult and adolescent substance abuse, adult and adolescent mental health and DUI treatment. In addition, BOAT offers an adolescent behavioral problem program and an anger management program. Specialized tracks for Employee Assistance Program (EAP) referrals are also available.
The adolescent substance abuse treatment program is designed to help clients between the ages of 13 and 18. Clients attend therapeutic activities a minimum of three days per week for group therapy and individual therapy. Therapy methods include psychoeducation, relapse prevention and other topics specific to adolescent populations. Random drug testing is performed in order to ensure abstinence during treatment. Clients must have good attendance in order to complete the program in good standing. BOAT provides clients with a family therapy group that runs concurrently so that the entire family system is united in purpose and goals. Dual-diagnosis support is available for clients with co-occurring disorders. Clients typically stay in the program for 12 to 15 weeks, depending on individual progress.
The adult substance abuse program is spread out over 12 weeks with treatment occurring a minimum of twice per week. Counselors utilize CBT and DBT techniques as well at Motivational interviewing (MI) to encourage positive change in the client. Family therapy is optional for clients to participate in, but is encouraged. Couples counseling is also available if a client and their spouse are seeking assistance. Clients are drug tested at random to ensure abstinence and are required to have consistent attendance in order to graduate the program.
The DUI program includes a mix of group and individual therapy that focuses on a Harm Reduction Model. If a client shows signs of addiction, they are encouraged to enroll in outpatient treatment concurrent with the DUI program. BOAT works directly with the court system to provide state approved treatment for a client's conviction. Groups focus on psychoeducation and clients are encouraged to attend 12-step meetings during treatment. Clinical staff members are CADCs or on their way towards full certification.
The outpatient programming at BOAT is designed to give both adults and adolescents a unique and individualized experience meeting the unique needs of their age and stage in life. Since 1980, clinical staff have aimed to create treatment objectives that work for clients and their family members so that addiction and alcoholism is treated at every level. Family, marital, group and individual counseling performed in a range of disciplines enable clients to begin their recovery with a healthy mindset and a healthy environment at home.

Court Delays Arizona Execution Over Drug Source
By Margaret Hartmann
Photo: Stephen Lance Denee/AP
Across the country, death-row inmates have been suing to force states to reveal information about the drugs that will be used to put them to death, and for the first time a circuit court has ruled in an inmate's favor. On Saturday, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Arizona must share information about the drugs and the qualifications of the medical personnel who will administer them if it intends to execute Joseph Wood on Wednesday. In the 2-1 decision, which overturned a lower court's ruling, the court said that the 55-year-old inmate could suffer "irreparable harm" if the state refuses to release the information. "Since Wood's execution would likely not be delayed much, if at all, by giving him the information he seeks, the public interest factor weighs in Wood's favor," the decision said.

Wood was convicted of walking into an auto-body shop in Tucson and shooting his 29-year-old ex-girlfriend Debbie Dietz and her 55-year-old father, Gene Dietz, in 1989. Arizona has said that since its preferred drugs are not available, it intends to use a combination of midazolam and hydromorphone to put Wood to death. Midazolam was used in the botched executions of Oklahoma inmate Clayton Lockett and Ohio inmate Dennis McGuire earlier this year. The state said the drugs have an expiration date of fall 2015, but it refused to name the manufacturer and batch numbers. It also argued that those administering the drugs could be identified if their qualifications were released.
On Sunday, Arizona appealed to the Ninth Circuit, requesting that the decision be reconsidered by a larger panel of judges. "Judge Bybee's dissent correctly points out that there is no First Amendment violation here," Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne told CBS 5 News. "This decision could impact other government agencies and essentially get rid of any state's confidentiality statute regarding executions."

Q: Set distinct prop for each child in react for animation I made a card component as so:

and I mapped it thrice.
when clicked the card should open as so:

I've set an setIsOpen pro for the child to return a boolean whether the card is open or not so I can set the row to have 1 column instead of three.
but if i click on another card while the other one is opened it sets the boolen to false and I would have 3 columns while cards are still open as so:

any logic turn for this problem?
below is the code:
Card code:
export default function CardBox(props) {
    const handleOpen=()=>{
        setIsOpen(!isOpen)
        props.setIsOpen(!props.isOpen)
    }
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
    return (
    <motion.div transition={{layout:{duration:1, type:"spring"}}} className={styles.root}>
    <motion.div transition={{layout:{duration:1, type:"spring"}}}
    layout
    onClick={()=>handleOpen()}
    className={[`${styles.card} ${isOpen? styles.orange +" "+ styles.alignStart :'' }`]}
    style={{borderRadius:"1rem", boxShadow:'0px 10px 30px rgb(0,0,0,0.5)'}}>
        <motion.h2 layout="position">
            {props.title}
        </motion.h2>
        {isOpen &&
        <motion.div initial={{opacity:0}} animate={{opacity:1}}className={styles.paragraph} >

{props.par1}

{props.par2}

        </motion.div>}
        </motion.div>
    </motion.div>
  )
}

code for index:
 <Row className={[styles.row, styles.cardRow]} xl={isOpen ? 1 : 3} sm={1}>
    <Col>
      <CardBox setIsOpen={setIsOpen} isOpen={isOpen} title={"Values"} par1={*** text ***} />

    </Col>

    <Col>
      <CardBox setIsOpen={setIsOpen} isOpen={isOpen} title={"Values"} par1={*** text ***} />
    </Col>

    <Col>
      <CardBox setIsOpen={setIsOpen} isOpen={isOpen} title={"Values"} par1={*** text ***} />
    </Col>
 </Row>

A: Set an index for each child and pass it to the child as a prop from the parent, then define isOpen as a state in the parent where it's value is -1 for false and the index of the active child otherwise. Write a function (in the parent) setChildOpen and pass it as a prop to the children. Have the children check if isOpen === index and have the child component act accordingly instead of your previous true/false options. Your setChildOpen should either set isOpen to a child's index or -1 if none should be open.
Tl;dr. Elevate state.

Home Current Affairs & GK 9 Strange Facts About Mars
9 Strange Facts About Mars
A. Sulthan
1. Mars has the biggest mountain in the solar system.
It's called "Olympus Mons" and it's actually a dormant volcano. Olympus Mons is 15.5 miles high and 372 miles across. To give you an idea, Mt. Everest is between 5 and 6 miles tall. Mars also has the biggest canyon system in the known universe, the "Valles Marineris," which is 2,500 miles long and 4 miles deep.
2. People have always wondered about life on mars because of the "canals" first seen by early astronomers.
This is why we have always imagined alien invaders coming from there, and not Jupiter or Venus. Actually, Mars is one of the least habitable planets, with freezing temperatures, solar winds, and almost no atmosphere. It is far more likely for there to be life on Venus. The canals seen by early observers are long, straight lines on the planet's surface that scientists believe are evidence of water.
3. Mars is named after the Roman god of war because its red colour reminded early observers of blood.
The reason for the red colour is that the soil is composed of iron oxide, or what we commonly call rust.
4. Compared to the other planets in the solar system, Mars is quite small.
It is half the size of the earth. Mars has about a third of the earth's gravity, which means that you can jump three times as high.
5. In the 1970s, the Viking orbiter took pictures of what appear to be giant faces and pyramids carved into the planet's surface in the Cydonia region.
The biggest looks like the Sphinx of Egypt and is 2,000 feet high and miles across. While this discovery has gotten UFOlogists excited, scientists say they are just eroded mesas. Many still believe that the faces are too symmetrical to be natural and that they are evidence of ancient alien civilizations.
6. Mars has some of the wildest weather in the solar system.
It has tremendous wind storms, dust storms and small tornadoes (dust devils). In 2001, a huge dust storm covered the entire planet for several earth days. Scientists are puzzled that a planet with so little atmosphere could have raging storms such as these. They don't know what causes them, but there are more storms when Mars is close to the sun. When it's on the farther end of its orbit, there are icy clouds made of carbon dioxide and dust. This is also strange because Mars has no surface water.
7. There has been a search for life on Mars, and also a search for water.
After years of studying every crack on the planet's surface for evidence of water, scientists have finally found it. The Phoenix mission found that there are huge deposits of ice underneath the planet's surface.
8. Mars has two moons, and one of them is going to crash into it.
The moon Phobos orbits dangerously close to Mars' atmosphere. Someday, the gravitational pull with smashes the moon to bits. The debris will stay in Mars' orbit, making a ring like the rings of Saturn. Eventually, it will rain down on Mars. Scientists don't know when this will happen but predict it will be in the next 50 years.
9. Only 1/3 of all the missions to Mars have been successful.
So many missions have disappeared that it has led scientists to wonder if something strange is happening. They refer to Mars as the "Bermuda Triangle" of the solar system.

Riley Davies was born in 1997 in Baltimore, Maryland and subsequently raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick. At an early age, she was deeply moved by nature's diverse forms, textures and how humans expressed this appreciation through art, architecture, and the stories of pagan deities. She explored these concepts at the University of British Columbia where she studied archaeology, philosophy and anthropology. Growing up, Davies was constantly surrounded by family members creating textile crafts such as knitting and quilting. Combining the influence of her studies, nature, and personal background, she is currently specializing in silk screen design at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. Using a multimedia approach, she constantly explores innovative ways to relay the interaction between humans, nature, and their modern day context. Riley envisions herself creating wearable art as well as fine art in the future development of her craft.

"Burgunday" aside, one might actually ask he Native people this refers to. The natives in the area the "Red Skins" team was formed in would don red paint when fighting. Red Skins were seen as a symbol of their strength and honor, and they don't find the term derogatory. In fact, when the first stirrings of "Let's Change The Name" began, the tribe this term commemorated were against it. It's an example of a movement with little basis in actual fact.
I frankly wouldn't care if every single Native American found the term inoffensive. As a white man, I find it derogatory. It was adopted by a viciously racist owner who could not bear to be around African-Americans. There's nothing "honorable" or "noble" about the name "Redskins," if it meant "strength and honor" Bennett Williams would not have adopted it. Sorry, but you are just misinformed here.
Oh, and I find Papa Johns repulsive. They'd have to pay me $25 to order this; a waste removal fee, if you will.
I once spoke with someone descended from the Chippewa tribe who was most adamant that it was a slur. But, you're right, I have no idea what was in the mind of the team owner, and you have the right to be offended by whatever you wish; hold fast to your opinion, fellow American.


Yet another storm is bearing down on the Midwest for the middle of this week. Accumulating snow appears very likely from Denver to Intentional Falls. Amounts could exceed 6"+ and over a foot just east of the Rocky Mountains, where some enhanced lift will be prevalent. Meanwhile, heavy rain will worsen the flooding situation in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. The exact track of the storm is still in question, but the strength looks to be set in stone. Meaning, the band of heavy snow could shift a little west or east in the coming days, stay tuned. Look for a snow maps soon.

Is it Safe? A Hint of Risk Can Boost Returns
Investors seeking safety may consider bets on big companies that aren't going anywhere.
Joe Mont
Aug 24, 2011 8:00 AM EDT
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- "Is it safe?"
Setting aside memories of that line amid the dental torture of the 1976 movie Marathon Man, that same question is being asked more and more by investors as they plan where to put their money -- if anywhere at all.
The hazard of going defensive and keeping your money in "safe" investments is that you typically lose upside in the pursuit of security.
Risk is often paired with reward, so does that mean "yield" and "safe" rarely intersect?
Mike McGervey, president and founder of McGervey Wealth Management in North Canton, Ohio, challenges such black-and-white thinking.
"Typically cash in a money market earns next to nothing," he says. "Sometimes I will have a client ask, 'What's our cash going to earn when it is on the sidelines?' and I'll stop and tell them they are missing the point. If we are preventing a 30% decline in your portfolio then maybe, in effect, your cash has earned you 30% because it kept you out of the fire."
For those not willing to merely ride out market tumult in CDs and money markets, stomaching just a little more volatility and surrendering some liquidity can lead to higher returns that, at the very least, keep pace with inflation.
If you can't decide between stocks or bonds, a hybrid of sorts can be found in preferred stocks (as opposed to the common stock most invest with). These share have built-in protections that can help mitigate risk. If a company is pushed out of existence by bankruptcy, those with preferred shares are right behind bondholders and ahead of common stock investors in recouping their share of the divvied-up assets.
Also, even though a company can suspend dividend payments, those with preferred stock must be recouped for what they lost before any dividend is restored or paid to holders of common stock.
A byproduct of the low interest rate environment is that even companies that are sitting on massive cash reserves are borrowing. This may make investing in high-grade corporate bonds a suitable alternative to Treasurys, especially after the S&P downgrade of U.S. debt.
Microsoft ( MSFT - Get Report), for example, has more than $30 billion in stockpiled cash (even after shelling out $8.5 billion to buy Skype earlier this year). And yet it is still issuing corporate bonds. As investors seek alternatives to Treasurys, its AAA-rated investment-grade bonds have been among the most heavily yarded in recent days.
Johnson & Johnson's ( JNJ - Get Report) AAA rating is also attracting the eye of investors venturing into high-grade debt. For the country's top companies, investing in corporate bonds can be a bit like lending money to a rich uncle.
Notching up things a bit more, risk-wise, are Master Limited Partnerships, which are publicly traded limited partnerships. They are restricted to businesses that deal in natural resources, including oil and natural gas extraction and transportation. They are often chosen by investors to provide diversification and protect against inflation.
MLPs are "a little volatile," says Michael J. Dixon, CEO of Global Financial Private Capital. But he also points out that "when everything got hammered in 2008, early 2009, MLPs and preferred stock were two of the ways we got our investors back up pretty quickly ... our conservative portfolio actually has a small gain in 2008."
His firm's preferred stock portfolio was one of its best-performing portfolios from 2009 onward. Despite a rough spell earlier this year, when it was closed amid a 5% yield, they "are now back shopping that space for 7% to 9%."
"The MLP space dropped 10% in this most recent run down, but popped straight back up," Dixon adds. "You can get 7% to 10% yield again with operations we don't see going out of business. They are basically toll roads for commodities. Do we see them getting bid up? Do we see them getting hammered when commodities fall out of favor? Of course, all day long."
But in the meantime, until warning signs emerge, he and other investors are more than happy to collect the income.
For those willing to whet their appetite with a bit more risk, there are other safe bets that can earn even bigger returns.
"During the last two years, most of our investors, when they ask them which they are worried about more, bond or stock valuations, they've said bonds," Dixon says. "At some stage interest rates will rise ... so what is safe anymore? What is the 'run to?'"
As he sees it, "safe" no longer should include just looking for "what was traditionally the boring, 'Treasury-ish' investment," because Treasurys have been "one of the most volatile investments going."
Dixon suggests that some may want to embrace emerging markets, particularly the telecommunications companies in them.
"You do it for the income," he says. "You do it because Telecom New Zealand ( NZT), China Telecom ( CHA - Get Report) and Telestra are going to pay you a really nice income and we feel that, from a balance sheet and business model and perspective, they will be in business in five to 10 years' time. We can get our heads around the balance sheet, business model and positioning telling us that. You have a state monopoly, virtually, in that particular area that we think is going to grow and be stable."
The space is bound to be volatile because it's a growth area, Dixon says, "but one of the things we've realized over the past few years is that it used to be the first thing you would pay and the last thing you defaulted on was your mortgage. Well that's out the window. What is the first thing people pay and the last thing they default on now? Their cellphone bill. The bottom line: What a great space to be in."
"Absolutely, it is going to be volatile," he says. "But I'm saying that if we can invest in that space for a nice yield, and if we can reassure ourselves, whether it is corporate debt or corporate equity, that those corporations will still be around and are not going to default, I'm happy in that space."

Unblock the Blockchain for the People. CitiCash ICO rating – not rated.
In addition, CitiCash is developing functions that will allow sending coins, receiving coins or trading coins on the coin exchange market – all in one place (within one wallet application). CitiCash will also allow its users to select a name for their wallet. This name (we call it the "Alias") makes the identification of the wallet easier while the wallet's security remains impenetrable. The Alias makes the original wallet address (a chain of 98 randomly generated characters) easy to remember. After the Alias is set, both the Alias and the wallet address remain valid and both can be used for coin transfers.
Having created CitiCash we realized there was work to be done so it could be widely adopted. At the forefront of its design, there was the requirement for the coin to be understandable and user-friendly. The process of setting up a wallet takes no longer than one minute. In this process the user does not need to be across the complex background behind the technology. The inspiration for designing the wallet was taken from numerous internet banking applications that are widely accepted and used in everyday life by the majority of the population.
Besides storing coins, the wallet can be used for sending or receiving CitiCash coins. The coin transfer usually takes no longer than a few minutes and the transaction fee is minimal. These functions make CitiCash an exceptional alternative to fiat money transfers. We are currently working on upgrades that will make it possible to convert CitiCash into any other currency within the user's wallet. For example, the user can select CitiCash as the input currency and Bitcoin as the output currency and the conversion happens in the background.
The CitiCash team will use strong marketing campaigns and a dedicated team of professionals will strive to spread the worldwide acceptance of CitiCash as a currency.
To ensure that CitiCash users are able to pay for goods outside the crypto world, we are developing a connection between CitiCash wallets and the already- existing technology of debit cards. A debit card will be provided to any owner of a CitiCash wallet. The debit card will be linked with a CitiCash wallet and when payments are made, CitiCash coins will automatically be converted into the respective fiat currency of the vendor that is receiving the payment.
The financial resources received from the coin public sale will be used for technical and commercial development associated with the costs of mass adoption of CitiCash by the general public. CitiCash is a long-term project that requires strong financial support. Specifically, the costs involve hiring developers, investing in software and hardware infrastructure, debit card integration, the cost of getting listed on major coin exchanges and a massive marketing campaign. The marketing campaign's aim is to spread the CitiCash concept to customers who have no experience or exposure to cryptocurrencies and to support them in using CitiCash in a real-world economy.
We will be informing any interested parties of the CitiCash public sale on our social network channels.

In Black Mountain, a great view comes practically standard with your home, so we are homing in on three other reasons to love each of these five Black Mountain homes.
Since Western North Carolina enjoys hang-in-your-outdoor-living-space-year-round kind of weather most days, this screened in porch provides daily opportunities to enjoy a cup of coffee, catch up on the news, or unwind with a glass of wine or local craft beer in the evenings. Long-range mountain views from it and the amazing deck also sweeten the deal!
The Lawton architectural firm promises to create "sustainable, sensible home and small business designs that fit clients' land and space needs." For this home, they focused on creating "convertible rooms and an efficient use of space, [and] an open floor plan that revolves around a fireplace." Just check out the inglenook, perfect for stargazing!
This established mountain community has several waterfalls, hiking trails, and even community gardens, making it an amazing place to live for those that want to enjoy all the splendor of the Western North Carolina outdoors both out their back door and all around this mountainous region.
Want the mountain home without the long driveway up, up, up the mountain? Then check out this listing, which is located just four miles from downtown Black Mountain. This location means you'll be just 8 minutes from the grocery, Lake Tomahawk Park, and tasty spots like Blue Ridge Biscuit Company and Louise's Kitchen.
This Black Mountain getaway already comes with 2.18 acres, but those that want a little more privacy and peace can opt to add another 1.66 acres to the deal for a total of nearly 4 acres.
Finish the progress that has been made in the basement and build-out an in-law suite, create your man or woman cave, or generate rental income by converting the basement space into an Airbnb vacation rental.
While older homes certainly have their charms, there's something pretty magical about being the first homeowners in a new home, especially when it looks like this!
Looking for the mountain vibe and views without sacrificing the convenience of city living? This new construction offers both, with several mature trees also on-site to still provide a bit of privacy even steps from downtown.
Listen to the babbling little brook from your covered deck or dunk your feet in during a hot day as you sit and enjoy your little slice of Black Mountain heaven.
Want to hear the other reasons we love these three Black Mountain properties? Contact us!


The GSA's intention to collaborate with the private sector in bringing better services to citizens was made clear during the agency's recent Technology Industry Day, according to Federal Times.
GSA Administrator Denise Turner Roth said the agency aims to be "a better partner and a better buyer" through innovations like flexible contracts and agile development.
"I think with the onset of ever-emerging technologies, with the onset of the American public using technology in a different way to manage their lives, that we are going to actually find new solutions for bringing government assistance, governmental programs that people relied on to those individuals in ways they actually work and live day-to-day," Roth said.


I've never been one for plants. But I like the plants I have. I have an amaryllis that a friend gave me for Christmas, this aloe plant from my sister-in-law and two philodendrons, one from my sister-in-law and one Jodi gave me about five years ago.
So, for claiming not to be a plant person, I really like these additions to my kitchen. I need to find the amaryllis a permanent home, but it is growing well so I'm a little afraid to move it.


My uncle used to be in the army as a K9 officer, or a dog trainer. So he knows all about how to train dogs and it is one of the things that he and my aunt do. They have a greenhouse and a farm and there are a lot of things to do. Right now I am taking care of a litter of puppies, using a science diet puppy large breed feeding chart to figure it out. These are not just any puppies, the dogs that are used for breeding are worth a small fortune and every one of these pups is in theory worth a large amount of money. First you have to figure out how easy it is to teach them the stuff that they need to know, a good one will apparently be easy to educate and you will know if they have it or not pretty quickly. Uncle Louis says you have to be real careful around a mother dog when her puppies are young. They can get real protective and so you want to respect them, especially a dog like this that might rip your arm off.
At any rate it is a lot different from being at home. You work by the sun actually. Before it gets up you get out of bed and have breakfast, so that when it is light outdoors you are ready to get started. Then you work straight through until it is too dark to keep on going. We will have sandwiches out in the fields, today I ate my lunch on the back of a trailer behind a tractor. We were loading hay onto it, which is a lot less fun than it sounds. Of course for me the big thing is that I should make enough money to pay for a car I hope.

BUDGET, CAPITOL HILL, CONGRESS, DEMOCRATS, INFRASTRUCTURE, POLITICS, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN, U.S. NEWS
Democratic Lawmakers President Joe Biden Scaled-Back Plan
What's In, And What's Out, As Biden Offers Scaled-Back Plan
WASHINGTON — After months of talks with Democratic lawmakers, President Joe Biden outlined Thursday a $1.75 trillion framework to support families and education as well as protect against global warming.
The updated plan includes universal preschool, funding to limit child care costs and a one-year continuation of a child tax credit that was expanded earlier this year and applied to more families. But Democrats are scaling back some investments and shortening the timeframe for funding in order to whittle down spending.
The framework fits an approximately $1.75 trillion budget over 10 years, rather than the $3.5 trillion budget plan originally envisioned. Paid family leave and free community college have been jettisoned, while increased Medicare coverage has been scaled back.
Still, Democrats are hoping the programs will prove so popular that future Congresses will continue to fund them in the years ahead. It seems unlikely that any Republican will support the measure.
Negotiations are fluid and the package is very much in flux. It also won't be possible to fully assess the details until legislative text is released. But here's where the framework stands so far, according to the Biden administration:
— The child tax credit increase would continue for another year. As part of a COVID relief bill, Democrats increased the tax credit to $3,000 per child age 6-17 and $3,600 per child age 5 and under. Budget hawks worry that a one-year extension is a budgetary tool that will lower the cost of the program on paper, but mask its true costs since lawmakers tend to continue programs rather than let them expire.
— Medicare will be expanded to cover hearing aids but not dental and vision. Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona objected to the other components. The hearing aids expansion will cost $35 billion over 10 years.
— Expanded tax credits for insurance premiums tied to the Affordable Care Act would be extended through 2025. The White House said it would help 3 million uninsured people gain coverage.
— Commit $150 billion toward housing affordability with the goal of building more than 1 million new rental and single-family homes. The goal would be to reduce price pressures by providing rental and down payment assistance.
— Continue for one year the expanded Earned Income Tax Credit that goes to 17 million childless workers.
— Universal prekindergarten for all 3- and 4-year-olds and child-care subsidies for poorer and middle-income Americans are still in. But only for six years.
— Provide $40 billion for higher education and workforce development. This includes raising the size of Pell Grants, funding for historically Black colleges and universities as well as institutions where students are largely Hispanic or serve tribal communities.
— Biden's plan calls for parents earning up to 250% of the state's median income to pay no more than 7% of their income on child care. Parents must be working, seeking a job, in school or dealing with a health issue to use this program.
— Fund $320 billion worth of clean energy tax credits. These credits over 10 years would help businesses and homeowners to shift to renewable energy sources for electricity, vehicles and manufacturing.
— Direct $105 billion toward investments that would improve communities' ability to withstand the extreme weather caused by climate change. The funding would also create a Civilian Climate Corps.
— Provide $110 billion to help develop new domestic supply chains and develop new solar and battery technologies. Also being supported would be the existing steel, cement and aluminum industries.
— Use $20 billion for the government to become the buyer of clean energy technologies as part of the procurement process.
— Provide $150 billion for a Medicaid program that supports home health care, helping to clear a backlog and improving working conditions.
— Provide $90 billion for investments that would include funding maternal health, community violence initiatives, disadvantaged farmers, nutrition and pandemic preparation.

This is a four bedroom, four and one-half bath home with a two bedroom apartment above the garage with a separate entrance. Located within easy walking distance of the downtown area, this new home offers plenty of space and luxurious finishes for a comfortable lifestyle.
Although a net zero claim takes time to verify, the Home Energy Rating Score (HERS) of -10 indicates that this home might just achieve this significant mark of remarkable energy efficiency.

HomeADL Announces Opposition To Israel's Anti-BDS Law
ADL Announces Opposition To Israel's Anti-BDS Law
Ron KampeasMarch 8, 2017File
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Anti-Defamation League became the second establishment Jewish organization to speak out against Israel's new anti-BDS law.
"Israel's democracy, pluralism, open society serve as best defense against #BDS," the group said on Twitter on Wednesday, using the acronym for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. "New law harms rather than helps."

92Y Cancels Spinoza Talk, Cites BDS
Darren PendlemanMar 8, 2014
The bill, adopted Monday by the Knesset, bans entry to foreigners who publicly call for boycotting the Jewish state or its settlements.
"We are deeply invested in fighting scourge of #BDS and delegitimization," another tweet said. "This law doesn't help."
Both tweets linked to a New York Times story on the bill's passage.
We are deeply invested in fighting scourge of #BDS and delegitimization. This law doesn't help: https://t.co/fEWWhmQbAB 1/2— ADL (@ADL_National) March 8, 2017
ADL's opposition comes a day after the American Jewish Committee said it was "troubled" by the bill.
An array of American groups on the left — including J Street, Americans for Peace Now, Ameinu, the New Israel Fund and T'ruah, a rabbinical human rights group — condemned the law as soon as it passed.
According to the final wording of the boycott bill, the ban applies to any foreigner "who knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel that, given the content of the call and the circumstances in which it was issued, has a reasonable possibility of leading to the imposition of a boycott – if the issuer was aware of this possibility." It includes those who urge limiting boycotts to areas under Israeli control, such as the West Bank settlements.
Some backers of the bill say it would be used only against those active in organizations that support BDS, and would not block an individual for something she or he might once have said.

The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes down her feelings in a journal or turns them into poetry. A girl who isn't afraid of what is hidden inside of her heart. A girl who has a strong voice. A girl who knows her thoughts matter. A girl who knows she matters.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she never misses a detail. She pays close attention. She will notice when you get a haircut, when you wear a new shirt, when you trim your beard, when you are unusually upset. Nothing will get past her. She will come close to reading your mind.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she has a passion. She has a reason to wake up in the morning that doesn't involve you. Yes, you're important to her. Yes, she is thankful to have you in her world. But you aren't her entire world. She has other things to do rather than sit around and wait for your texts. She is busy. She is productive.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she is a dreamer. She takes risks. She believes in second chances. She hasn't given up on herself yet — and she isn't going to give up on you either.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she stays open to new experiences. Visiting new places and seeing new sights will give her more to write about, so she is always willing to go on adventures. She can be spontaneous. She can be surprising. She never lets life become boring. She never lets herself settle.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she is intelligent. Even though she has an adventurous side, she thinks things through before taking action. She considers every possible route the story of her life could take, which means she never acts rashly. She makes sure she is doing the right thing over the easy thing.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she is secretly a romantic. She believes in true love. She believes in committing to one person. She believes in treating the person she is seeing with the upmost respect.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she will never let a day go by without letting you know how much you matter to her. She has a way with words. She might stumble over saying I love you face-to-face, but she will send you sweet good morning messages and write the cutest things inside of your birthday cards. She will be able to put her feelings for you into words, even though it's unlike anything she has ever felt before.
The best relationship of your life will be with a girl who writes, because she has a purpose. She knows who she is. She knows what she wants.

Kim Cattrall shows women they can have it all
Previous - Ben & Jerry's cofounders honored with new award
Next - Jimmy Fallon and Ben & Jerry's announce new ice cream flavor
New Taste Test Finds that Four Out of Five Butter Lovers Agree I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Tastes as Good as Fresh Butter
Englewood Cliffs, NJ (January 27, 2011) – It's time to forget everything you thought you knew about compromising taste for fewer calories. Just ask Kim Cattrall. As part of its new campaign, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® has partnered with Ms. Cattrall to show consumers they can have it all – especially when it comes to their food. Featuring a rich and delicious fresh butter taste, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! delivers flavor without compromise.
Ms. Cattrall will appear in the new I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! campaign as the star of a series of television commercials slated to air in March 2011. In a savvy style reminiscent of her famous television series role, Ms. Cattrall plays out some clever storylines that place her in the company of delicious-looking men and delectable food, brought to life by a series of clever double entendres and some fun wordplay.
"Enjoying I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! is kind of like finding a deliciously gorgeous man, and then discovering he's single," joked Ms. Cattrall. "That's the spirit that we're playing with in this campaign – we're showing women they can have it all – delicious taste, with fewer calories and less fat than butter."
Barry Sands, Senior Brand Manager for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! added, "In fact, a new taste test found that four out of five butter lovers agree that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Original spread tastes just as good as fresh butter. The 'You Can Have It All' campaign highlights the rich and delicious fresh butter taste of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!, while reminding audiences that this taste comes with 70 percent less saturated fat and 30 percent fewer calories than butter and zero grams of trans fat per serving."
"I do love to eat, but I strive to eat well – so I love having a choice that I can feel good about using every day," said Ms. Cattrall. "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! tastes as great as fresh butter and I feel satisfied when I eat it, so I don't have to compromise."
To highlight the great taste and versatility of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!, Chef Alex Guarnaschelli of Butter Restaurant in New York City created six exclusive recipes inspired by the fresh butter taste for the campaign launch. From a Fresh Cranberry Spread for toast to I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Cookies, the recipes featuring I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! are highlighted on www.icantbelieveitsnotbutter.com
"I grew up watching my mother make toast with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! It always was, and still is, in my family's refrigerator," said Chef Alex Guarnaschelli. "And as a chef, home cook and mother, I never want to compromise taste as I create recipes – and I don't have to when I use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! It tastes great and performs really well in a number of recipes, including sautéing and baking."
The new campaign also supports the launch of two new I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! varieties, making it easier than ever to infuse fresh butter taste into foods without compromise:
New I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a perfect topping for chicken and vegetables.
New I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Whipped & Creamy Taste has a creamy texture and tastes indulgent.
For information and full nutrition facts, and to view Chef Alex Guarnaschelli's exclusive recipes, visit www.icantbelieveitsnotbutter.com or follow the brand on Twitter, www.twitter.com/ICBINotButter.
According to a new taste test.
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! 58 percent vegetable oil spread contains 8 g of fat (2 g sat. fat, zero g trans fat) and 70 calories per serving
Unilever Soft Spreads
Unilever manufactures soft tub spreads under the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!®, Shedd's Spread Country Crock®, Brummel & Brown®, Promise®, Promise activ®, and Imperial® brand names. Most soft spreads are made with a blend of nutritious vegetable oils including soybean and canola, and contain 70% less saturated fat than butter, have no cholesterol, and are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, with many providing excellent sources of Omega-3 ALA.
All Unilever soft (tub) spreads have 2 grams or less of saturated fat per serving (between 5 and 8 grams of total fat per serving), and with this formulation change, will contain no hydrogenated oils and no trans fat per serving.

Yemen Blues Mix It Up
Yemen Blues are yet another one of the explosion of impossibly esoteric, pan-global, psychedelic dance bands to spring up in the last few years. They're Israeli; they draw on influences as diverse as classic levantine dance music, Bollywood pop, Balkan brass, funk, Afrobeat and Yemeni Jewish themes. To say that their latest, self-titled album is a blend of all of these is true in the purest sense of the word since each of the songs here echoes pretty much all of those styles. A few of them don't. The opening track features a squirrely low-register reed instrument playing a hypnotic riff against a choir of voices; the third track is a pretty straight-up, repetitive Bollywood pop tune. There are also two bracingly slinky oldschool Egyptian tunes here, the first with a suspenseful cinematic feel, the second taking a sudden shift into an eerie minor-key psychedelic soul interlude that rises with the horns and violin going full steam.
The rest are a pretty irresistible grab-bag of riffs and ideas from around the globe. Track number two is a brass band hip-hop levantine number with a fiery violin solo and a flute-driven interlude straight out of the Moody Blues circa 1969. The title track works a gentle, folk-rock tinged melody reminiscent of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here that eventually builds to a bouncy cabaret vamp and then goes doublespeed.
What sounds like a Moroccan sintir tune builds a long one-chord jam suspensefully, picking up the energy as the horns circle like vultures and swoop in all together for the kill. A long, slow, imploring duet features vibraphone and oud; another begins with oud, shifts to Afrobeat and then a flute-driven soul interlude that wouldn't be out of place in the Isaac Hayes catalog. The album winds up with a lively blend of Afrobeat and Bollywood. Yemen Blues play Central Park Summerstage on 7/31; early arrival (i.e. 2 PM) is advised.

Il y a presque cinquante ans, des femmes et des hommes du monde entier rêvaient de changer le monde. Que reste-t-il des espoirs de celles et ceux qui ont alors envahi les rues ? Peu de choses, malheureusement. Le cinéaste revient sur des épisodes de sa propre vie pour comprendre comment ces gens se sont adaptés – s'ils y sont parvenus – aux évolutions mondiales qui annoncent toutes une catastrophe majeure à venir. Sur cinq continents et à travers les textes d'auteurs tels que Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, Slavoj Žižek et Ulrike Meinhof, le film tente de savoir si une sortie de la jungle capitaliste qui a avalé notre univers est possible. Réchauffement climatique, guerre, surconsommation, crises migratoires, inégalités. Porté par la Passion selon saint Matthieu de Bach, Passion – Between Revolt and Resignation déploie une argumentation puissante sur les peurs qui hantent le monde, alors que de nouveaux conflits éclatent presque tous les jours. Christian Labhart crée un essai documentaire hybride qui pose un regard sans détours sur les questions auxquelles il faudra répondre rapidement si l'on espère encore sauver ce qui reste du monde.
Almost fifty years ago, women and men all over the word dreamed of changing the world. What is left today of the expectations and the hopes of the people that flooded the streets? Not much, unfortunately. The filmmaker examines episodes from his own life, trying to understand how they fit—if they do at all—with the major changes of the world that hint all at a major catastrophe in the waiting. Across five continents and through the texts of authors such as Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, Slavoj Žižek and Ulrike Meinhof, the film tries to find out if there is a way out of the capitalist jungle that has swallowed up our world. Global warming, war, overconsumption, refugee crises, inequality. Underscored by the St. Matthew Passion by J.S. Bach, Passion – Between Revolt and Resignation offers itself as powerful essay of the fears that are haunting the world while new conflicts explode almost daily. Christian Labhart creates a hybrid documentary essay that fearlessly faces questions which need to be answered soon if we still hope to save what is left of the world.
