Waldorf=Astoria (written for historical reasons with double hyphen between the two names) is the name of two luxury hotels in New York - the original stood in the place of the Empire State Buildings to the Fifth Avenue, the today's is a 42-stöckiges kind Deco - building, which since 1931 at the park stands Avenue in Manhattan (house number 301). The Waldorf=Astoria belongs to the holding on hotel chain.
In the today's Waldorf=Astoria are three American and classically European restaurants, a beauty salon as well as different luxury fashion shops. The lobby was distinguished several times for its mechanism in the style of the time of origin of the hotel.
The upper range of the Waldorf=Astoria, admits whale village Towers as The, is still more luxuriöser than the lower range: a hotel in the hotel.

The communications between the hotels as Peacock Alley admits and is symbolized in the today's name by the double hyphen. The united Waldorf=Astoria became at that time largest hotel of the world, which maintained the high standards original whale village of the hotel.

Lamar Odom to star in his OWN TV show after Khloe Kardashian divorce and time in rehab
Will the Kardashian Kurse finally be lifted for the NBA star as he moves on with his own ventures?

Lamar Odom looks set to make a TV comeback and the Kardashians might want to hide.
The former NBA star, whose divorce from Khloe Kardashian has been finalised, has reportedly inked a deal to star in his own reality TV series.
Lamar, 37, who nearly died from a drug overdose at a brothel over a year ago, is yet to start shooting the series as he works hard on his recovery.
A source told People magazine: "The show will be about his life, recovery - all about him."
Lamar, who is reportedly undergoing treatment at a rehab centre, will now stay in the facility for one month.
The source continued: "Lamar checked into rehab a week ago. He plans to stay for 30 days. It's a substance abuse program, but he was not abusing drugs when he went in. He is clean. This is a precautionary measure."
The insider claimed that Lamar was taking the necessary steps after big life events including his divorce from Khloe as well as Christmas around the corner.
"He's trying to take care of himself. He really wants to be better," they said.
Lamar has endured a difficult year (
The former NBA star opted to seek treatment at a facility near San Diego, California, a year after he was hospitalised after a drink and drug binge at a Nevada brothel.
"He went to continue making sure he stays sober and on the right path. It was something he chose to do. He did it for his kids and also wanted to feel 100 percent again.
"He did not relapse, but felt like he wanted to get away and start fresh for the New Year," a source told Us Weekly.
It was in October 2015 when Lamar was airlifted to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai hospital where he was put into an induced coma for over two weeks.
The news comes after it was recently revealed Lamar and his ex-wife Khloe are officially divorced.
Khloe talks about Lamar's drinking (
E!)
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star originally filed for divorce from Lamar in December 2013 but called it off after he was hospitalised. Once he returned to health, she refiled the papers and a judge approved them on Friday in Los Angeles.
Documents confirmed the pair's joint company Khlomar would be dissolved and neither of the couple would receive spousal support. The divorce is set to become legal on December 17.
Meanwhile, it was previously claimed that Lamar is "completely out" of Khloe's life but she stills cares deeply for him despite now being in a relationship with basketball player Tristan Thompson.
It comes a year after his near-fatal overdose (

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's divorce papers reveal the couple will be officially separated next week
A source said: "Lamar is out of her life completely. No animosity there - she still cares about him, she still wants him to be safe, but it's over."
Whilst another insider said: "They're taking it slow, day by day, but are having so much fun together. It's still the honeymoon stages and they both have a huge crush on each other.
Divorced: Khloe Kardashian and Lamar in happier times (
"He's the nicest, sweetest guy, He comes from a very strong family and has a tight circle of close friends. He really isn't into the 'celeb scene' and does his own thing.
"He's close friends with [his Cleveland Cavaliers teammate] LeBron [James] and a couple of his teammates. She's very happy but taking it slow and not rushing into anything."

Filipina Journalist Maria Ressa Helped Expose Duterte's Deadly Drug War; He's Now Trying to Jail Her
The award-winning Filipina journalist Maria Ressa has been arrested twice in recent months by the Philippines government as President Rodrigo Duterte cracks down on critics and the media. In February, she was detained in a cyber libel case that's widely seen as politically motivated. She was arrested again in late March for allegedly violating a ban on foreign media ownership. Duterte has long attempted to shut down Rappler, which has published groundbreaking work on Duterte's deadly war on drugs that has killed thousands. Duterte has repeatedly described the site as fake news outlet. We speak with Maria Ressa, the founder of the independent news site Rappler and a vocal critic of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Roe v. Wade Under Threat: Planned Parenthood Pres. Speaks Out as State Laws Threaten to Ban Abortion
Abortion rights are under threat across the United States, with 28 states currently considering legislation to ban or restrict abortion in various ways. Among the slew of strategies are trigger bans, to make abortion completely illegal in a state should Roe v. Wade be overturned, and six-week abortion bans. Earlier this month, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed into law a six-week abortion ban, which bans abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected—something that typically happens before many women realize they're pregnant. The bill does not include exceptions for cases of rape or incest. A similar law is set to take effect in Mississippi in July, while judges have blocked similar bills from going into effect in Kentucky and Iowa. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is expected to sign his state's abortion ban in the coming weeks. While over two-thirds of Americans are pro-choice, anti-choice activists have the edge in state governments, with Republicans controlling roughly two-thirds of statehouses and 27 of the country's 50 governorships. We speak with the president of Planned Parenthood, Dr. Leana Wen.
Planned Parenthood President: Trump's "Pro-Life" Agenda Is Killing Thousands in the U.S. and Globally
A second federal judge has blocked a gag rule that would have stripped federal funding known as Title X for Planned Parenthood and other clinics that refer patients for abortions or even mention abortion as an option. The judge's ruling halts the rule, which was announced by President Trump in February and was scheduled to go into effect on May 3. Washington state Federal Judge Stanley Bastian ruled against the changes to Title X funding Thursday, saying they would require clinics "to face a Hobson's choice that harms patients as well as the providers." This came two days after an Oregon judge issued a preliminary injunction to stop the gag order from going into effect, calling the rule a "ham-fisted approach to public health policy." Title X covers non-abortion services like STD prevention, cancer screenings and contraception, and provides over $280 million in funding for 4 million mostly low-income women every year. We speak with the president of Planned Parenthood, Dr. Leana Wen. She says the gag rule would force doctors "to compromise the oath that we took to serve our patients."
"A Shameful Week for the U.S.": Trump Admin Guts U.N. Resolution to End Rape as Weapon of War
The Trump administration is under fire after the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution to end rape as a weapon of war on Tuesday that excluded any mention of sexual and reproductive health. The resolution was gutted after the U.S. threatened to veto the measure altogether unless language referencing reproductive health was taken out due to the Trump administration's belief that the language was code for abortion. The watered-down measure also weakened references to the International Criminal Court, making it harder for women and girls to seek justice. We speak with Jessica Neuwirth, director of the Human Rights Program at Roosevelt House at Hunter College and the director of the Sisterhood Is Global Institute. She sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo protesting the U.S. stance on the Security Council resolution. We also speak with Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen.

Navy SEALs Tried for Months to Report Superior for War Crimes and Were Told to "Let It Go"
Navy SEALs who witnessed their platoon chief commit war crimes in Iraq were encouraged not to speak out, and told they could lose their jobs for reporting him at a private meeting with a superior officer last year, according to new reports from The New York Times. A confidential Navy criminal investigation obtained by the Times reveals that the commandos saw Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher stab and kill an unarmed teenage captive, shoot to death a young girl and old man, and fire indiscriminately into crowds of civilians. But when the men on Gallagher's team called a private meeting with their troop commander and demanded an investigation, they were told to stay quiet on the matter, and no action was taken. The group of seven SEALs eventually were able to force an investigation, and Chief Edward Gallagher was arrested in September on more than a dozen charges, including premeditated murder and attempted murder. The court-martial centers on a charge that Gallagher stabbed to death a teenage member of the self-proclaimed Islamic State while the unarmed youth was being treated by a medic. The trial begins May 28. If convicted, Gallagher could face life in prison. We speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and national correspondent for The New York Times Dave Philipps. His latest piece is headlined "Navy SEALs Were Warned Against Reporting Their Chief for War Crimes"
From Crime Bill to Iraq War Vote, Biden's Legislative History Under Scrutiny as He Enters Race
Former Vice President Joe Biden has entered the 2020 race for the White House, becoming the 20th Democrat to seek the nomination in the largest and most diverse field of Democratic candidates ever to run for president. Biden will face scrutiny for his long and checkered record in the coming weeks, including his 1994 crime bill, that helped fuel mass incarceration with financial incentives to keep people behind bars, and his handling of Anita Hill's sexual harassment allegations against Supreme Court justice nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991. Biden is also known for close ties to the financial industry and voting to authorize the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. In the weeks before Biden announced his bid for the presidency, at least seven women stepped forward to accuse him of inappropriate touching. We speak with Andrew Cockburn, Washington editor for Harper's magazine, about Biden's record. His recent piece is headlined "No Joe! Joe Biden's disastrous legislative legacy."
A "Death Trap" in Raqqa: Amnesty Finds U.S.-Led Coalition Killed More Than 1,600 Syrian Civilians
A major new investigation by Amnesty International and Airwars has revealed the U.S.-led military coalition killed more than 1,600 civilians during the 2017 offensive to oust ISIS militants from the Syrian city of Raqqa. The coalition launched thousands of airstrikes and tens of thousands of artillery strikes on the city. U.S. troops fired more artillery into Raqqa than anywhere since the Vietnam War. At the time, the United States claimed it was the "most precise air campaign in history." We speak with Donatella Rovera, lead investigator with Amnesty International. She is calling on the U.S. and coalition nations to fully investigate the mass civilian casualties. Rovera is senior crisis response adviser at Amnesty International. The new investigation is titled "Rhetoric versus Reality: How the 'most precise air campaign in history' left Raqqa the most destroyed city in modern times."

Joseph Stiglitz: Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders Want to Make the Economy Work for All Americans
As the 2020 election race barrels forward with nearly 20 Democratic candidates, we speak with Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz about the policy platforms of progressive hopefuls Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, including Warren's plan to break up big tech companies and cancel student debt and Sanders's commitment to democratic socialism, which Stiglitz compares to "what in Europe is called social democracy, sometimes called the welfare state." Stiglitz has a new book out titled "People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent."

We look at staggering inequality and the state of the U.S. economy with Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Clinton. Joseph Stiglitz is a professor at Columbia University and chief economist for the Roosevelt Institute. His latest book, out this week, is "People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent."
Bernie Sanders Spurs Debate on Prisoner Voting Rights, But the Idea Is "Not as Radical as It Seems"
Presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said at a town hall Monday that he believed in restoring voting rights for prisoners, sparking a national discussion about re-enfranchisement for the more than 2 million Americans behind bars. Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg has spoken out against prisoner voting rights, while Senator Elizabeth Warren said "I'm not there yet" on the issue. Senator Kamala Harris said "there has to be serious consequence for the most extreme types of crimes," referencing her background as a prosecutor. We speak with Ari Berman, senior writer at Mother Jones, about the public debate on voting rights for imprisoned Americans. Berman notes that prisoners are currently counted in the U.S. census in the counties where they are imprisoned, despite not being allowed to vote in most states.
Supreme Court Appears Set to OK Census Citizenship Question Despite Risk of Undercounting Millions
The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in a case challenging the Trump administration's plans to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census. Voting rights activists fear that adding the question will deter immigrants from participating in the census and lead to a vast undercount in states with large immigrant communities. Census officials have estimated 6.5 million people will not respond to the census if the citizenship question is added. This undercount could affect everything from the redrawing of congressional maps to the allocation of federal funding. The case centers on whether Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had the authority to add the question to the census. The American Civil Liberties Union and 17 states have sued, saying Ross's move was aimed at deterring immigrants from participating in the census. During the oral arguments, the court's conservative majority appeared to side with the Trump administration, while the liberal minority questioned the administration's motives and methods. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, "There's no doubt that people will respond less. If you're talking about prediction, this is about 100 percent that people will answer less." We speak with Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. MALDEF is representing plaintiffs in one of the lawsuits challenging the census citizenship question. We also speak with Ari Berman, senior writer at Mother Jones. His new piece is titled "In Census Case, Supreme Court Suddenly Cares a Lot About Voting Rights Act."

Baltimore Writer D. Watkins: "We Speak for Ourselves: A Word from Forgotten Black America"
"We Speak for Ourselves: A Word from Forgotten Black America." That's the name of a new book by D. Watkins that amplifies the experiences of poor black Americans typically sidelined by the public and the media—including his own life story. He writes, "I'm from the bottom, and what I mean by bottom is first-generation scholars, the project babies, the people without Wi-Fi, the workers, the people most likely to get hit by police bullets. We are the subjects of protests, the rarely heard-from even as our deaths are debated by media personalities who wouldn't step foot on our blocks. … To quote the brilliant scholar and activist Dr. Su'ad Abdul Khabeer, 'You don't need to be a voice for the voiceless. Just pass the mic.'" D. Watkins is a professor at the University of Baltimore and founder of the BMORE Writers Project. He is also the author of "The Cook Up: A Crack Rock Memoir" and "The Beast Side: Living and Dying While Black in America."
Johns Hopkins Students Enter Week 3 of Sit-In Protesting ICE Contracts & Plan for Armed Campus Cops
Students at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, have entered their 21st day of a sit-in occupation of their campus administration building to protest the university's plans for an armed police force on campus, as well as Johns Hopkins's contracts with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Students at Johns Hopkins are demanding the cancellation of contracts with ICE and a pledge to donate all money received from ICE to Baltimore's immigration defense fund. They're also demanding voluntary recognition for all workers wishing to unionize, and a student and faculty representative spot on the university's board of trustees.
Charges Dropped for U. of Arizona Students Who Called Border Patrol "Murder Patrol" at Campus Event
Authorities at the University of Arizona in Tucson have dropped charges against three students who held a nonviolent protest against Border Patrol agents speaking on their campus. During the March 19 protest, the students called border agents "Murder Patrol" and an "extension of the KKK." All three students were charged with misdemeanors. On Friday, motions to dismiss the charges were granted after the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups led a campaign on behalf of the students. We speak with Mariel Bustamante, one of the "Arizona Three." She is a graduating senior who is double-majoring in law and anthropology.
Right-Wing Vigilantes Hold Migrants Hostage on U.S. Border. Did Border Patrol Give Tacit Approval?
The FBI has arrested the head of an armed vigilante group that has repeatedly filmed itself detaining migrant border crossers at gunpoint. Sixty-nine-year-old Larry Mitchell Hopkins is the leader of the far-right, pro-Trump group calling itself United Constitutional Patriots, which the American Civil Liberties Union described as an "armed fascist militia organization." His arrest came just days after the ACLU accused the vigilantes of illegally detaining 300 migrants, including young children, near Sunland Park, New Mexico, last week. We speak to Peter Simonson, executive director of the ACLU of New Mexico.

Dallas Goldtooth: Hold Banks Accountable for Financing Climate Chaos & Violating Indigenous Rights
As millions celebrate Earth Day around the globe, we speak with organizer Dallas Goldtooth about indigenous-led anti-pipeline activism in the United States. President Trump signed two executive orders earlier this month to facilitate the approval of pipeline projects at a federal level, limiting states' ability to regulate such projects. The move is intended in part to clear the way for permitting on the northeastern Constitution pipeline, which has stalled after New York invoked the Clean Water Act to reject the project on environmental grounds. This comes as climate activists have filed a federal lawsuit with the ACLU challenging three South Dakota laws that they say violate the First Amendment rights of anti-pipeline organizers. Dallas Goldtooth is one of the plaintiffs in the ACLU lawsuit and an organizer with Indigenous Environmental Network.

Mindy Kaling is one of my favorite celebrities—not only 'cause she's whip smart, funny (Kelly Kapoor from The Office, love her!), a great writer, but because she's into pop culture… just as much as I am.
This long-winded start segues into the reason why I snapped up the Celebrity Goddess Tarot. The deck popped up on my Explore feed on Instagram, and I could not resist its super subtle pink tone, its line art, and its pop culture pull. Created by LA-based artist Faye Orlove (who also has an impressive shop of stickers, stationery, and all things cool), the deck takes the tarot archetypes and juxtaposes an impressive line up of female personalities onto them.
Right about the time this deck entered my field of vision, Kristi Prokopiak rereleased the Ritual Oracle… and if you've gone through my blog posts, you'll know what a fan I am of Kristi (who's behind Ritual Tarot) and her celebrity / pop culture tarot deck, The Illest Tarot (in fact, I've written about it twice already!).
The Ritual Oracle comes poker-sized and is an 80-card deck that comes smaller-sized than the usual tarot deck. It comes in a two-piece box that looks just like The Illest's (only smaller), and also comes with a guidebook that tackles one card for every page. I appreciate guidebooks that don't go into too much detail when it comes to cards, so Kristi's handwritten (love this touch, btw) two to three sentence commentary on her work is just perfect!
Celebrity Goddess, on the other hand, comes in a standard tuck box and is a little more sparse with details when it comes to its guide. You get a listing of every personality in the deck and that's about it. Helpful, definitely (there were some people I couldn't place or didn't really know)… and smart, too. Again, I prefer guidebooks that don't spoonfeed you the information you could figure out intuitively or through a little googling. And I do believe that interpretation-wise, your own thoughts are always so much more meaningful than what any author or guidebook has to offer.
I like how these two go together, Faye's line art is a perfect foil for Kristi's photographic deck. Their backings are also complementary (blush pink and green / teal? yes!), with the Celebrity Goddess going the super minimal route and the Ritual Oracle having scribbles and doodles just like its companion tarot deck, The Illest.
If you're as pop culture obsessed as I am, seeing Amal Clooney or Nicole Richie pop up in a spread is a joy. I have a couple of friends who are also pretty savvy when it comes to celebrity and pop culture, and it's always a joy to see them react to decks like these.
On the other side of the spectrum, I'm not a huge fan of photographic decks but I don't know, this one just works. In fact, it's become my go to as of late—not just for myself but also for clients! I think what gives the Ritual Oracle an extra oomph is the choice of symbols and Kristi's down to earth, super accessible writing. I used this deck for a recent in-person reading and I have literally never gotten that many goosebumps in one reading, EVER. My client said the same thing too.
Both decks are smart and can offer a lot of insight if you're a tarot reader who easily connects to these figures—I find that using modern day people as substitutes for our traditional tarot archetypes is incredibly effective. I get what the cards are trying to say to me without even trying. A photographic oracle deck, on the other hand, reminds me that our everyday lives are rife with meaning. There's so much insight to be gained if we keep our eyes open.

More info: Berlin is the largest city and the national capital of Germany. Berlin is located in northeastern Germany, surrounded by the Federal State of Brandenburg.
At the end of World War II, the city was occupied by the Allies and divided into two parts: West Berlin and East Berlin. Between 1961 and 1989, the Berlin Wall separated the two parts until they were reunited in 1990 and Berlin once again became the capital of all of Germany.
Berlin straddles the banks of the Spree, which flows into the Havel (a tributary of the Elbe) in the western borough of Spandau. Among the city's main topographical features are the many lakes in the western and southeastern boroughs formed by the Spree, Havel and Dahme, the largest of which is Lake Müggelsee.

In the year 2020, many Stockton students have faced unprecedented challenges. Some of these issues disproportionately affect LGBTQ+ students, from the looming threat of the coronavirus pandemic, to the lack of social interaction with other Queer students, to anxiety over the current political climate. Now, Stockton's Queer students are speaking out about the highs and lows of being an LGBTQ+ student in 2020.
https://www.instagram.com/trevorproject/?hl=en
According to The Trevor Project, LGBTQ+ youths are disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic, due to a loss of positive social interactions, such as friends at school, and a high rate of negative social interactions, such as spending time in quarantine with an unsupportive family. Matthew, a bisexual-identifying junior, acknowledges that he is lucky, because he is "out" with his parents, and did not have to hold himself back during quarantine, but knows other students may face that struggle.
In the wake of the pandemic, with the majority of Stockton's classes, club meetings, and events being moved to an online format, students are mourning the loss of a queer community on campus. Stockton's LGBTQ+ community is traditionally able to connect through student organizations such as Pride Alliance, as well as through programming held by the Women's Gender and Sexuality Center.
Anthony, a gay-identifying senior, said, "The only safe and effective way is to communicate online, and it isn't really the same." Gabby, a senior who identifies as biromantic and asexual, noted that, "You can't really get that queer vibe from people through Zoom, you know?" Many other students agreed that they felt very disconnected from Stockton's LGBT community this year.
In addition to a loss of community on campus, many students feel anxious about the current political climate. Katherine, queer-identifying trans woman, is studying anthropology. Due to the nature of her degree, conversations about gender and sexuality come up pretty frequently.
According to Katherine, "It's really surreal having to go about my day knowing that my human rights are being bandied about". Many other LGBT-identifying students at Stockton share this same anxiety. "I'm worried that I won't be able to marry a woman in the future. Trump's America is a really dangerous place for queer people," Gabby said.
Although LGBTQ+ students may be feeling disconnected from campus, Laurie Dutton, Director of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Center, wants to remind students that, "You are not alone." The WGSC lounge, located in F-103 on the Galloway campus, is a dedicated safe space for LGBTQ+ students, women, and allies
https://www.instagram.com/stocktonwgsc/?hl=en
The WGSC offers various programs specifically geared toward the LGBTQ+ community, including LGBTQIA+ mixers, a Whole New Closet program to help students who are transitioning, and a Lavender Graduation pinning ceremony for LGBTQ+ students and allies. The WGSC is open on campus for a limited capacity, and many events are being held online for remote students.
"Moving online has been challenging, but we are proud to offer almost all of our services with little to no changes," Rebecca Longo, Assistant Director of the WGSC, says.
For any LGBTQ+ students who are struggling with mental health issues, Stockton has one counselor in the Counseling Center specifically dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. Laura Shaw is a licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with LGBTQ+ students, as well as running support groups with Rebecca Longo.
For more information about the WGSC's support groups or other upcoming events, students can visit www.stockton.edu/wgsc. Additionally, students can contact wgsc@stockton.edu with event ideas, or contact Laurie Dutton and Rebecca Longo for support and services.

In Search of Polar Bears
This 8-day expedition cruise will take you sailing around North Spitsbergen in the Arctic Svalbard Islands. Located between mainland Norway and the North Pole, the Svalbard Islands are the best location for viewing these beautiful and powerful predators. Watch the changing landscape, including rugged mountains, sweeping tundra, glaciers, and polar ice caps, as you enter the realm of the polar bear.
Itinerary & Adventure Highlights
Day 1: Longyearbyen
Your expedition will begin in Longyearbyen, one of the most northern towns on earth, and the largest town of the Svalbard Islands. Longyearbyen is accessible via flights from either Oslo or Tromso, Norway.
Board the M/V Ortelius, an ice-strengthened polar vessel that accommodates guests in a total of 52 cabins. Ortelius carries 10 zodiacs for the off-ship wildlife expeditions offered twice a day. Departure is just before dinner tonight, and you might spot your first minke whale of your voyage!
Day 2: Route to Raudfjorden
Today is a day at sea, as you head for Raudfjorden, a massive fjord on Spitsbergen Island's north coast where glaciers abound. The fjord's high cliffs and shoreline support seabird colonies, and wildlife such as ringed and bearded seals, and possibly even polar bears, could make an appearance.
Day 3: The Massive Monaco Glacier
Weather permitting, today's highlight includes viewing the three-mile-long face of the Monaco Glacier in Liefdefjorden. The base of the glacier is a popular spot for polar bears to hunt, and the surrounding waters are a favorite feeding spot for thousands of kittiwakes.
Day 4: Highlights of Hinlopen
Today you will sail into Hinlopen Strait, a stunning location for wildlife viewing, including bearded seals, ringed seals, polar bears, and blue whales. You will board zodiacs and cruise the ice floes of Lomfjordshalvøya, and view the bird cliffs of Alkefjellet. If conditions cooperate, attempt a landing on Nordaustlandet to spot reindeer, pink-footed geese and walruses!
Day 5: Stop at the Seven Islands
Our location today reaches 80 degrees north, just over 500 miles from the geographic North Pole. This is the Seven Islands, prime polar bear country! You may enjoy several hours in this remote setting before heading west.
Day 6: Sailing the Continental Shelf
Watch for polar bears and Greenland whales while sailing west today. You'll skim the edge of the continental shelf, approximately 40 nautical miles west of Spitsbergen. Fin whales forage in this area during the summer months, and minke whales may be spotted as you approach the mouth of Kongsfjorden.
Day 7: Reindeer, foxes and seabirds… Oh My!
As you sail toward Longyearbyen today, you may have the opportunity to view walruses at Forlandsundet, or possibly route to Alkhornet to view seabirds nesting high on the cliffs, arctic foxes scavenging for fallen eggs and chicks, and reindeer grazing the sparse vegetation. After a day filled with astonishing wildlife, arrive back in Lonyearbyen later tonight.
Day 8: Disembark in Longyearbyen
Disembark Ortelius this morning, and either continue your journey or return home with memories to last a lifetime.
NOTE: The Arctic season begins toward the end of April and ends in late September, and while this specific itinerary only operates from late May to early July, there are other itineraries operating throughout the season. Should you choose to travel in the early months (April and May), you will encounter lots of snow and ice, and most of your excursions will be spent onboard the zodiacs. If you choose to travel later (July and August) after the snow and ice has melted some, you will have more opportunities for landings and exploring the tundra on foot. Every trip is a unique adventure!

May 31, 2018 Peru / South America
Nasca: Is It Worth It?
Our time in Peru started with adventure: a few days in Cusco and then the Inca Trail. After that, we were able to spend a few wonderful (and relaxing) days in Arequipa. But after Arequipa our vacation got a bit whirlwind: we'd take an overnight bus to Ica, where we'd hop on a plane to see the Nasca Lines, then we'd get a private van transfer to Huacachina, where we'd spend around 24 hours, and then a trip to Paracas to see the Bolestas Islands followed by yet another overnight bus to Lima.
Being a baby when it comes to heights and water, I wasn't looking forward to most of this part of the trip, but as always LeeAnne talked me into it (or, rather, planned it and I just went along). We arrived in Ica early and made our van transport from the bus station to the small airport stop at a tiny cafe so we could grab breakfast and a coffee. After that, we made it to the airport, where we checked in, went through "security," stashed our packs, and were weighed for the flight.
After all the formalities were out of the way, we took a seat in the airport while a documentary about the lines played over and over on the airport televisions. The story of the lines, at first, is fascinating: the Nasca people, it is believed, made these huge drawings in the area by removing the top layer of red soil and revealing a white layer beneath it. The area that the lines cover – 450 square kilometers – is massive. The drawings themselves are huge.
The are in which the lines are drawn is also fortuitous: with almost no wind and being in one of the driest deserts on earth, they have been preserved almost completely naturally since they were drawn. How lucky is that? But when you dig further into the mystery of why they are there, you come up with a resounding shrug of the shoulders and a "dunno." While this may make the mystery even more enticing for some, I had a similar reaction: a shrug of the shoulders.
After sitting in the airport a while, it was finally our turn to take the flight. We shared the small plane with three other sight-seers, a pilot, and a co-pilot. The crew did a great job, once we were in the air, of making sure we saw all the highlights – the monkey, the condor, the spider, the hummingbird, etc. We flew around, tipping the plane to either side so both seats could get a good view, and then headed back to the airport. The flight was about 30 minutes, and being such a small plane with no cabin pressure, LeeAnne's altitude sickness started to creep up while we were in flight. If that is a problem for you, beware.
If you look closely, you can see the condor
After all was said and done, the lines were interesting, but nothing to jump up and down about. If it hadn't been a reasonable stop on the way from one point to another, I wouldn't have been sad to miss them. They are another box I can check off on my travels, but really haven't been anything more than that. And for $100 per person, I would say your money was best spent elsewhere. Unless you really want to see some lines drawn in the sand.

There are typically only a fixed number of digital currency units out there. The 2016 map is going to be updated as more information gets available. Your list will just supply you with a headache if you don't locate a remedy to end your problems.
If you don't are studying the development of a theory, it's typically best to go with the latest edition. For any critical work it's far better visit the original theory. Due to this, psychoanalytic theory doesn't have substantial research readily available to support its ideas.
Conclusions aren't ozessay com au drawn, or designed to be drawn, within this Supplement. Concepts are the core portion of the theory. Practice theories ought to be utilized to develop nursing interventions as they're specific, relevant and applicable to each day practice.
To begin with, it may be argued that biographical analysis for an approach is extremely subjective as it's based entirely on the opinion of the researcher. The crucial concepts of a particular theory are its constructs. Research into using the model in a lot of contexts allows its refinement and the progression of situation-specific theories, and ultimately the growth of testable hypotheses.
The categories consist of several selections like the reach of the theory, the nursing domains, and theory for a paradigm or worldview made by modern theorists. There are various nursing theories and wellness theories to help us explain the phenomena we're experiencing in health. Most nurses employ many theories http://linguistics.stanford.edu/ in practice rather than using one theory exclusively.
These theories are utilized to guide certain regions of practice. Ultimately, nursing theories improve the autonomy of nursing by defining its very own independent functions. A number of these theories are called grand theories and try to explain virtually every facet of how folks change and grow over the duration of childhood.
Digital currency failures before have made investors lose substantial amounts of authentic money. Other folks concentrate on specific facets of child development like personality, cognition, and moral growth. In other instances, child growth theories try to explain a fairly narrow facet of the developmental experience, which is the reason why they are known as mini theories.
There are a lot of different child growth theories that are devoted to various regions of growth and development. These concepts could be applied to distinct kinds of systems, e.g.. While there are lots of advantages of nursing theory, there are a few barriers to developing and applying nursing theory.
These standards are thought to help nurses and other professionals adapt their assessments in order to spot risks and make the acceptable interventions. From location to facilities and perks, businesses have to be certain they're providing what buyers are interested in. Since that time, there have been a number of models of nursing proposed and accepted by different communities and kinds of nursing.
The nursing practice has to be based on nursing theories. It is crucial to keep in mind, that most jobs consist of multiple sub-sets of tasks from various domains, requiring a number of skills. In their professional education, they will study a range of interconnected subjects which can be applied to the practice setting.
To develop nursing for a profession the idea of theory has to be addressed. write my paper This theory divides the environment into various systems that interact to influence the growth of someone somehow. If nursing theory doesn't drive the growth of nursing, it is going to continue to develop in the footsteps of different disciplines like medicine.
Already homeless folks seldom get aid beyond food support. Going by the requirement that an ostensibly democratic country give all its people the privilege to take part in government, Israel isn't a democracy. In comparing Henderson's article to Peplau's article there's some correlation regarding the importance in working with families, along with the patient who's also stressed.
In duality, students feel that there's just one correct answer to all questions, which may only be supplied by means of an authority figure. As Domenica my partner inside this debate discussed earlier, as a nurse you're utilizing all different kinds of theories daily. The care program needs to be flexible, so it can be changed and evaluated daily as the patient's wants and abilities change.
Consequently, nursing must be liable for the effect it has on the world for a whole. Nursing care must cover the individual for a whole in order to balance mind, body and spirit so as to reach optimal outcomes. Therefore when they are faced with real world problems that do not easily correlate to specific nursing problems, difficulties can arise in choosing an appropriate course of action.


Had an order at wild west mercantile for while haven't heard from them so I called. One item back ordered 2 discontinued and one can fill in size I can't wear. I decided to cancel the order and search other sources. Where do you get cowboy gear?
My experience has been once on back order always on back order. We've had some items on order for over 2 years now!
Contact Matt at Hamilton Gry Goods!! Sass member and supporting vendor. Top quality, fast service, friendly folks, and they stand behind their products!!
ABSOLUTELY! Matt and my bride's checkbook made me a damn fine looking man. OK, they put cowboy duds on me but I can dream!
I had some pants, I bought on special, back-ordered for about two weeks.
I just got a notice they were now being shipped.
Working Ranch in Nebraska. Very nice people. Never had a problem with them. They always make the trek to the Midwest Regional,too.
and can order pretty much anything you want from Wahmaker or Frontier Classics.
I've just recently "discovered" them and am more than satisfied with the quality of the product, assistance from the lady on the phone, price, delivery time, and even the price.
I order from places that communicate with me if there is a size or availability issue. If they cant let me know, I never order from that vendor again, no matter how much I like the product. If I am giving them my money they can send an email or kiss my business goodbye. Mistakes happen, own them ,let me know or I wont be back.
What I'm thinking on this.

To describe the ocular manifestations of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrosis among inpatients at a tertiary care hospital.
The retrospective observational descriptive study was carried out at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data on age, gender, aetiology and ocular findings related to patients diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/ToxicEpidermal Necrosis between January 2000 and December 2011. SPSS 19 was used for statistical analysis.
There were 87 patients; 48(55.2%) of them being males.The overall mean age was 33.2±22.2 years, ranging from 1 month to 84 years. The most common aetiology was idiopathic 20(23%) followed by non-steroidal inflammatory drugs and anti-epileptics 11(12.6%) each. Besides, 84(96.6%) patients had oral mucosal involvement whereas 45(51.7%) had ocular and 27(31.0%) had genital-mucosal involvement. Glassroding was performed in 16(18.4%) patients due to minor conjunctival adhesions.
Ocular manifestations of varying severity were frequent, with drugs being the most common aetiology

I love this version of Risotto because it has the all creamy texture of risotto without the constant stirring of the more classic dish. It is the "little black dress" of side dishes that is great and goes with everything!!
In a saucepan cook the onion in hot butter until tender, add rice. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Carefully stir in water, bouillon and pepper. bring yo boil;reduce heat. Simmer, covered for 20 minutes. DO NOT LIFT COVER!
remove saucepan from heat. If desired stir in peas. Let stand covered for 5 minutes. Rice should be tender but slightly firm and the mixture should be creamy. Stir in cheese and serve.
Mushrooms are a nice addition to this recipe as well.
In the Summer sprinkle it with fresh herbs from the garden and serve with a salad of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves drizzled with olive oil....now this is one of my favorite vegetarian meals!!!

HomeEditorialTCA : BUYSIDE PERSPECTIVE
TCA : BUYSIDE PERSPECTIVE
Posted by: Best Execution , April 1, 2012
SAME PROBLEM, NEW SOLUTIONS?
Dina Medland looks at why the buyside are not that happy with the current TCA offering.
A recent report on changing attitudes towards transaction cost analysis (TCA) both in the US and Europe by Aite Group, the independent research and advisory firm, finds that the buyside's satisfaction level of TCA, in general, is low. There is a lot of inherent mistrust of data that is driven by lack of an accepted, industry-wide TCA framework." (TCA Evolution, Through the Lens of Buyside Customers by Simmy Grewal and Sang Lee, Aite Group 2011).
Simmy Grewal, one of the authors of the report, says, "We found that buyside firms rely on a number of TCA products, sometimes as many as five, which highlights the fact that asset managers are not happy with their TCA."
However, using multiple TCA providers at a time when traders are facing increasingly competitive and complex trading environments and thinner margins against a backdrop of rapid advances in technology does not necessarily point to high dissatisfaction levels. Michael Sparkes, director ITG, says, "People are using TCA more extensively than five years ago partly because of technology changes and partly because of market structure and fragmentation. The Aite report presents a very powerful graph charting the rise of electronic trading."
'While you could argue that the satisfaction data shows that users feel TCA has limitations, I interpret it to mean that people are now looking much more at what it is they actually want from TCA. Satisfaction levels reflect the fact that people want to do more with it and that is a challenge for the industry, not least because systems were not originally designed to address the questions now being asked" he adds.
While historically TCA has been very much a post-trade exercise that compares an execution against a benchmark such as the volume weighted average price (VWAP), there remain problems with that approach. "VWAP will be affected by your activity – the larger you are, the more you will be the VWAP. Where it is used we would recommend a participation-based approach rather than a time interval VWAP" says Sparkes.
"By far the most widely used measure in TCA is 'implementation shortfall', which looks at implicit costs around or slippage between when a trade enters the market, when it is executed and the final execution price. Our approach has been to develop models based on our client universe database to generate an 'expected cost' i.e. for an order with certain characteristics, traded in a certain set of market conditions. We believe this provides the fairest way of determining whether a client's trading costs are in line with reasonable expectations or not, and highlights areas of particular strength or weakness" he adds .
TCA providers agree that the level of detail demanded varies enormously, depending on the client. Poor performance in difficult markets, especially in equities, has meant that there has been a significant increase in interest in TCA beyond the trading desk, as institutions look to mitigate the costs of trading.
Dave Hagen, director strategic accounts & trading at Linedata in the US says, "A lot of our larger clients are now doing their TCA on their own. I've just had a fascinating conversation with a gentleman who actually went out and hired three quants to build out his own proprietary TCA."
There has been talk, he says, of 'in flight TCA', which essentially means in 'real time.' "What I am hearing now is 'am I doing the best for this order at the moment' – but I have been hearing talk about moving to real-time TCA for five years and have yet to see it" says Hagen."There are no hard facts on this but I have a real sense that the European-domiciled clients I speak with seem ahead of the curve on this front."
At Société Générale, Stephane Loiseau, head execution services appears to be at just that cutting edge. "TCA is not a post-trade event, it's a lifecycle event, from when the order is first made to when it is settled it has to be a metric that is used all the way through" he says. Fragmentation in the market, scarce liquidity for macroeconomic reasons and regulation all pose challenges for traders, but the availability of tools now is also second to none, he adds.
"At SocGen we define TCA ourselves, and reduce participation in a venue as we go along. Trading strategy is a complex scenario with a lot of 'ifs' in play. By defining the objectives of the order, you can look at the tools and channels you are going to use, including choices of venues and brokers. Monitoring the parameters of the order as you go along, you can change the channels to adjust your trading strategy" says Loiseau. SocGen's QVM approach is now about a year old and is used primarily on equities, "but we want to adopt this on other asset classes. We have already noticed trends that are helpful to investors, such as quantifying the impact of promotions on venues" he adds.
The absence of a consolidated tape in Europe remains "an issue compared to the US market." "But there is a lot of information coming back to you and the question is how to make the most of it" he says.
Shifting landscape
Loiseau sees change as having taken place in the last 18 months, with innovation now taking place at a granular level. "For the most sophisticated buyside the focus is on mapping what services and tools are available and building their own mix" he says.
TCA providers say the shift in the TCA landscape has been "huge." "People want to understand how they can look at their costs to improve performance. A big topic now is toxicity of the venues – how do you know one venue is better than another?" says Peter Weiler, EVP sales at Abel/Noser in the US.
"Buyside firms are not doing away with using vendors, but you do see a segment of the market which has a lot of resource do in-house work, especially if they are very quantitatively focused. The trend is towards using data to build algorithms instead of having an 'algo sweep' off the rack" he adds.
Clients are also increasingly interested in using visualisation tools to make TCA more "actionable" he says, and this is a part of a wider trend across the buyside, sell-side and quantitative firms.
Panopticon, the provider of real-time visual data analysis, recently conducted a live webinar with OneMarketData on how you can improve the efficiency of your TCA using a combination of visual data analysis, high performance tick history databases and complex event processing (CEP) engines. It included a "deep dive" demo showing how you can more efficiently analyse massive tick, quote and trade history data sets.
Visual representations such as heat maps and trend lines are "critical and the next step will be to bring those visualisation tools into the trading environment on a real-time basis" says Weiler. At IFS LiquidMetrix, the research and market data analytics company, managing director Sabine Toulson says, " People are telling us that they want to go in two directions: they need specific information on the venues used to trade, but also data at a macro level in order to make judgements on the execution performance. "
Not everyone agrees though on the compelling need for aggregate data, or with one of Aite's conclusions that "As is the case with most aspects of financial performance, individual data is not as important as peer evaluation." Sparkes points out that the report quotes 65% of respondents as saying that TCA could be built in-house, which would remove the importance of peer evaluation in the equation.
Nor does everyone get excited about visualisation tools and TCA. At SocGen Loiseau says, "Traders are not big fans of visualisation tools. They are good for the marketing brochure. We have had such tools here but would rather rely on the real-time indicators with no added latency."
However, it remains clear that TCA is "moving downstream, to the trading level where we can shape trading. It is Behavioural Finance 101, it really is about building trading strategies from TCA data" says Weiler at Abel/Noser.

UK education consulting spend rises 196% in 14 years
The tripling of consulting spending in the past 14 years has prompted criticism, amid concerns that the funding
News Genry Bispin
The tripling of consulting spending in the past 14 years has prompted criticism, amid concerns that the funding could be better allocated elsewhere. However, the Department for Education has seemingly doubled down on its efforts, earmarking a further £2.3 million for consultants to find areas to cut costs in within the education sector.
Education is one of the most important fronts on which the future of the UK can be prepared for. Immigration controls look set to stifle the flow of talent into the country post-Brexit, while large swathes of an ageing population approach retirement age, and swift technological change means that the remaining work-force must be equipped with the relevant skills if the UK is to avoid wasting their potential, amid a depleted talent pool.
As the education sector tries to position itself for these seismic shifts, the Department for Education (DfE) has revealed that it has tripled its consulting spend over the past 14 years. While it is common for consulting spending to soar in such circumstances, as entities of all shapes and sizes seek external expertise to help accommodate for change, however, the fact that the figures have come amid a lasting legacy of austerity in the state education sector has seen it marked out for heavy criticism. The NEU teaching union was particularly cutting with its stark warning regarding the statistic.
Speaking to the TES (formerly known as the Times Educational Supplement), Dr Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the NEU, said, "Schools are paying inflated prices for support and advice which they used to get from their local authority. They have very complicated legal responsibilities around things like land, safeguarding, health and safety and employment contracts, and they turn to consultants because it's all they've got. I would imagine that the standard of advice is highly variable, but how it is evaluated is anyone's guess. Some consultancy will be value for money but a lot of it won't be, and some schools will be falling prey to snake oil salesman."
Snake-oil
Bousted pulled no punches, but her remarks tap into an unsurprising sentiment shared across the UK education scene, considering that the increase on spending on consulting far surpasses much-needed spending on actual teachers. In 2016-17, spending on education consultancy was 196% higher in real terms than it was in 2002-03.
Campaigns by school leaders over budget cuts have dogged the government in recent months, and high-profile union activity targeting parents during the 2017 general election campaign on the matter is widely believed to have cost the Conservative party votes. Such is the extent of the criticism, that the DfE even issued surprisingly blunt departmental advice for school leaders, governing bodies and local authorities – that they should not express opinions for "party political purposes," in what many see to be a bid to silence legitimate criticism.
While spending on education support staff rose by 138% over the same period, and spending on back office functions was 105%, spending on teachers rose by a mere 17% in real-terms. Overall school spending per pupil rose by 42% in real terms over the past 15 years, but following multiple real-terms falls in spending in the most recent of those years, this still pales in comparison to consulting spending, and the string of figures has raised further ire from many public figures as a result.
As a result, the lion's share of spending in the state's education sector went to non-staff, boding the question of just how much of this expenditure will directly benefit students in the short or long-term. Spending on non-staff, such as consultants, was 68% higher in 2016-17 than 2002-03, while staff spending was just 33% higher.
The release of the figures, which were reportedly part of a drive to cut costs at schools by the Department for Education came as the same institution launched plans to spend a further £2.3 million on at least 160 "money-saving advisers", who will be parachuted into schools struggling to afford providing their important public service. The new consultants will apparently inform schools on how to best cut costs.
A team of the so-called school resource management advisers has been working with a small number of schools since January 2018, providing "impartial, expert business advice" on how to make best use of revenue and capital resources. The DfE claimed that the trial, which also had involvement from the Institute of School Business Leadership, won positive feedback from the sector. It is now planning to significantly ramp up the scheme.
An initial expansion of the advisers network was announced by Lord Agnew, the academies minister, in May 2018. Speaking to school business leaders, Agnew said the advisers will look to maximise resources and free up more time for teachers. At the time, ministers had said they wanted to reach around 60 schools by the end of this month ahead of a national expansion in September.
Official documents have since shown the DfE aims to recruit at least 160 advisers over the course of between two and three years. This is on the low-end of the spectrum, however, and as many as 250 advisers could be recruited, and will likely be paid £400 a day, in line with the rates of the pilot.
A recent survey among buyers of consultancy services identified the top management consulting and M&A advisory firms operating in the education sector. The subsequent list recognises large consultancies such as EY-Parthenon (the strategy consulting subsidiary of EY) KPMG, PwC and boutiques with a focus on the education sector, including Cairneagle Associates and William Clarence Education.

Paraphilia Fetish
PARAPHILIA
Paraphilia stems from two Greek words; para=beside and philia=friendship in the context of love. Paraphilia is a biomedical term and was introduced by Wilhelm Stekel in the 1920s, describing a non-normative sexual arousal to objects, situations, events, or individuals. Such arousal may cause distress or serious problems to the Paraphiliac, or to partners and persons associated with her or him.
Paraphilias and fetishes may include;
Clothing and fabrics
Places, situations, events
Sounds, colours, smell
Body fluids
Acts and thoughts of humiliation and suffering causing sexual arousal, inflicted on oneself or another person
Sexual obsession with children
Non-consenting non-suspecting adults
It is unknown how many different kinds of paraphilia and fetish exist; estimated numbers suggest an excess of 500 variations. The origin and development of paraphiliac sexual preferences is unclear, but some sexual and developmental histories suggest a connection between early childhood events and later non-normative sexual arousal.
Some paraphiliac behaviours may offend against the law, namely when acted out against children, against non-consensual persons, animals, or in public places. Please see our LEGAL page for information.
A person who has attached to a specific fetish may experience strong sexual arousal in the presence of that fetish. Many fetishists will experience a distinctly lowered sense of sexual arousal and well-being in the absence of the fetish, with a smaller number of persons entirely depending on their fetish.
The terms sadism and masochism go back to Marquis de Sade and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch who, in the 1800s, described the unusual sexual preferences which in part became later known as BDSM behaviours.
The acronym BDSM combines bondage and discipline (B&D), dominance and submission (D&S), and sadism and masochism (S&M). BDSM is an erotic preference and a form of relationship, involving consensual methods to increase and deepen pleasure through physical restraint, intense sensory stimulation, and fantasy power play. BDSM practise is not exclusively sexual, but may include anal, vaginal and oral sex.
Participants take up unequal but complementary roles. Detailed negotiation and consent of intended activities are essential. Trust plays a fundamental role. Typically, participants playing active or controlling roles are called 'tops or dominants', and their counterparts, who have chosen to be controlled, are known as 'bottoms or submissive'. Individuals who choose to alternate between top and bottom are known as 'switches'. In longer-term relationships such behaviour is referred to as 'power exchange', whereas the term 'scene' is preferred in short term encounters.
SAFETY RULES FOR BDSM PARTICIPANTS
Safety is of paramount importance. The fundamental principals of BDSM outline that only informed and responsible partners should perform. The term SSC was created in the 1980s, meaning safe, sane, and consensual. This term makes a clear legal and ethical distinction between BDSM, and the crime of domestic violence.
Some participants prefer the term RACK, Risk Aware Consensual Kink, indicating a style in which the individual responsibility is emphasised more strongly, with each individual participant being responsible for his or her own well-being.

FBI offers $20,000 reward in murder of ABC7 producer
ABC7 I-TEAM INVESTIGATION
By Chuck Goudie and Barb Markoff
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Less than a month after the Federal Bureau of Investigation posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of whoever killed ABC7 Eyewitness News Executive Producer Anne Swaney, the bureau has doubled the reward money.
The FBI is now offering $20,000 in the case.
Swaney disappeared on Jan. 14, 2016, while vacationing in western Belize. Her body was found by searchers a day later, floating in the Mopan River, which skirts the horse ranch and eco-resort where she had been staying.
Authorities determined she had been strangled. Belize police and FBI agents who have been assisting in the case have no motive for the murder nor any prime suspects.
Most of her belongings were found on a recreation deck next to the river, where she was believed to have been last seen. Her cell phone has not been recovered, authorities told the ABC7 I-Team.
Last month, on the one-year anniversary of her murder, FBI officials working out of the U.S. Embassy in Belmopan, Belize, told the I-Team that more than one person may have been responsible for the killing.
