Glenn Hughes: I would be honoured to do another record with Tony Iommi

Glenn Hughes says he'd be "honoured" to work on another album with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi.
The former Deep Purple man, who briefly fronted Sabbath in the mid-80s, says he remains a close friend of Iommi's. He last featured on the guitarist's 2005 solo album Fused.
When asked at a press conference at Hellfest, France, if they could collaborate following Black Sabbath's The End Tour, Hughes says it could be possible as they "work together really well."
He adds: "Tony and I speak, or get together, every year, and we sort of look at each other and go, 'Shall we do another one?' And it's kind of like a little joke, but you never know, because we really are close friends and we really do work together really, really well.
Iommi was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, which is one of the reasons Black Sabbath are coming to an end. And Hughes says that the guitar icon's health takes precedence over everything else.
He adds: "More importantly, what I want for Tony is for his health to be great. Tony is doing fantastic.
"He's really happy. He has a great family. The most important thing about Tony Iommi is that I just want him to be here on this planet alive.
"I would be honoured to do another record with Tony. But in the real world, we have to wait and see."
Hughes will start work next month with guitarist Joe Bonamassa, keyboardist Derek Sherinian, drummer Jason Bonham and producer Kevin Shirley on the next Black Country Communion album, which is due to arrive next year.
He's also in the studio recording a solo album.

India To Buy Highly-Weaponised MQ-9B Sky Guardian Drone From US Amid Border Tensions With China
by Swarajya Staff - Sep 29, 2020 12:17 PM +05:30 IST

India is planning to procure the weaponised MQ-9B Sky Guardian drone from the United States (US) as it looks to upgrade its existing Israeli Heron fleet and enhance its satellite communication capability and range.
The decision to shift from the 22 reconnaissance and surveillance Sea Guardian drones to the well-weaponised MQ-9B Sky Guardian has come in the midst of long-going border face-off with China in Easter Ladakh, Hindustan Times reported.
The officials from the tri-services, as per credible government officials cited in the report, decided that the forces should choose an armed drone system over the Sea Guardian drones that only provide surveillance capabilities. The deal to procure 22 surveillance drones was approved by the US administration in 2017.
"We are in negotiations with the Trump administration, which is willing to provide India with the latest armed drone technology. In this, it is the prohibitive cost of the system that is a hurdle, not the Trump administration," said a South Block official quoted by HT, requesting anonymity.
The MQ-9B drones are manufactured by defence-maker General Atomics and have a a 40-hour endurance with a maximum altitude of 40,000 feet. The drone can also carry a weapon payload of over 2.5 tonne including air-to-surface missiles and laser-guided bombs, according to the report.
Indian administration has felt the need to upgrade its drone and surveillance strength in order to tackle China and its highly-advanced unmanned devices. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has deployed a large number of drone to keep an eye on Indian forces' movements.

Paul Manafort's lawyers Tuesday inadvertently revealed that he may have discussed a "Ukrainian peace plan" with a political operative with suspected ties to Russian intelligence.
If this sounds vaguely familiar, it should: A Ukrainian peace plan has been of interest ever since The New York Times reported in 2017 that Michael Flynn, when he was national security adviser, received a Ukrainian peace plan proposal from Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. That proposal was put together by Andrii Artemenko, a Ukrainian lawmaker who reportedly "received encouragement" from aides to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The proposal would involve Russia pulling forces from eastern Ukraine and allow Ukrainian voters to decide whether Crimea should be leased to Russia 50 or 100 years, along with lifting sanctions on Russia. It heavily favors Russia's interests, The Atlantic notes, and came under scrutiny as the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia began to be investigated. Artemenko in May 2018 revealed that he had been questioned by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigators, Politico reports.
Tuesday's filing appears to reveal for the first time that Manafort was also involved in discussions of a Ukrainian peace plan, talking about it with Konstantin Kilimnik. It's wasn't completely clear if they discussed the same one that ended up in Flynn's hands, though, and Felix Sater, who was involved in getting the Artemenko plan to the White House, claims the two plans are different, McClatchy's Ben Wieder reports. But while it's unclear what the one Manafort and Kilimnik discussed might have entailed, the Times notes that Manafort and Kilimnik have a history of pushing Russia's interests in Ukraine.
According to the filing, Manafort "conceded" that he discussed or may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan with Kilimnik "on more than one occasion." His lawyers insist he did not recall this when initially speaking to investigators because "issues and communications related to Ukrainian political events simply were not at the forefront of Mr. Manafort's mind."

In the not-so-distant past, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) was the fundraising king. He excelled at reeling in the dough during both his 2018 Texas Senate run and his early presidential campaign. But those days are seemingly over for the 2020 candidate.
O'Rourke has struggled recently when it comes to polls and funding, which is raising questions about whether his once-promising campaign has run out of gas. He is expected to report just $3.6 million between April and June, less than half the $9.4 million he raised in the first quarter. The number also falls short of the $6.1 million he raised in the 24 hours after he first announced his campaign, which is what had people thinking he could be a contender in the first place. Politico called the April through June figure "startlingly small."
The fundraising decline reportedly has O'Rourke's allies on edge, though they think he still has time to get things back on track. If that's to be the case, he probably needs to simultaneously improve his polling numbers, which have also dipped.
O'Rourke... 2% nationally. 1% in Iowa. 0% in NH. Getting outraised by 7 competitors... If he comes back, he'll have earned it... but it looks bad. Real bad.
— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) July 16, 2019
It doesn't sound as if O'Rourke is ready to bow out, however. Instead of scaling back, the campaign is making a push by expanding its number of field offices in Iowa.
But in the larger picture, the numbers indicate O'Rourke is fading into the primary's muddied waters. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and former Vice President Joe Biden have begun to separate themselves from the pack in terms of cash and polling data. O'Rourke was never a frontrunner, but he appears to have been displaced by Buttigieg as the election's upstart candidate. Tim O'Donnell
Joe Biden is ready to get civil.
The former vice president is prepared for President Trump to question his age and mental state, just like Trump did during the 2016 presidential race against Hillary Clinton. But instead of challenging Trump to a physical fight like he's mentioned in the past, Biden would rather take Trump on in a push-up contest, he told MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski in a Morning Joe interview aired Tuesday.
Biden and Trump are two objectively old men, yet they've nevertheless publicly fantasized about beating each other up a number of times in the past. So Brzezinski asked Biden what he'd do during a debate if Trump continued to "go after your age, your mental state." "I'd say, 'C'mon Donald, c'mon man. How many push-ups do you want to do here, pal?'" Biden responded. "I mean, jokingly. C'mon, run with me, man." Biden then went on to say he was "not going to get down in the dirt" with Trump, because "that's the only way he knows how to fight."
Perhaps Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), nearly 10 years Biden's senior yet famous for his push-up contests with much younger constituents and reporters, would like to get involved. Fellow 2020 candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who's around the same age as Biden and Trump, meanwhile had no comment. Kathryn Krawczyk
of all time
Former Vice President Joe Biden is hitting back against President Trump following his attacks on four minority congresswomen, not only calling the tweets racist but declaring Trump the most "openly racist and divisive" president America has ever seen.
Biden in response to Trump's weekend tweets telling four congresswomen to "go back" to where they came from said on Monday that "there has never been a president in American history who has been so openly racist and divisive as this man," The Hill reports.
The former vice president went on to blast Trump's tweets as "sickening" and "embarrassing." Biden also tore into the president's comments at an event on Monday, calling what he said a "flat, racist attack" and saying that it's Trump who "should go home," Politico reports.
Biden had previously in his 2020 campaign launch video blasted Trump for his Charlottesville response and in a recent immigration speech said the president while describing immigrants "repeatedly invokes racist invective," per Politico. Trump has insisted that his weekend tweets were "not at all" racist. Brendan Morrow

all eyes on north korea

North Korea said Tuesday that the U.S. will put talks aimed at getting Pyongyang to denuclearize at risk if it goes ahead with summer military exercises with South Korea, Reuters reports. The North Korean Foreign Ministry said the U.S. is continuing a pattern of "unilaterally reneging on its commitments" to North Korea, so Pyongyang has to reconsider its own commitments to discontinue missile and nuclear weapons tests while talks continue.
President Trump last month tried to persuade North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to resume talks on giving up his nuclear weapons by arranging a spur-of-the-moment meeting with Kim on the border between the two Koreas that resulted in an agreement to restart working-level talks that had been on hold since the collapse of their second summit in February.

on second thought
Netflix is excising a graphic scene from its teen drama 13 Reasons Why after more than two years of criticism.
The Netflix original series based on a young adult novel about a high-school student who takes her own life originally contained a disturbing and explicit depiction of suicide in its finale that sparked debate when it aired in March 2017. The show's creators defended the scene as their way of showing the horror of suicide, while experts raised concerns over how the scene might affect vulnerable young viewers. A study in April found that suicides among those between age 10 and 17 spiked the month after 13 Reasons Why premiered on Netflix, although this increase could not be definitively tied to the series' release, NPR reports.
Now, two years later, the controversial suicide scene has been edited out of the show. In the version currently streaming on Netflix, only the moments immediately before and after Hannah's suicide are shown, but the series no longer depicts the character cutting her wrists as in the original version.
Netflix in a statement on Tuesday said that "we've been mindful about the ongoing debate around the show" and decided to edit the scene "on the advice of medical experts." Creator Brian Yorkey said, as he has in past interviews, that the intent of the scene was to "tell the truth about the horror of such an act" so that "no one would ever wish to emulate it" but that the creators have "heard concerns" ahead of the third season's launch. He concludes that this new version will "do the most good for the most people while mitigating any risk for especially vulnerable young viewers." Brendan Morrow

More than 100 people have been killed in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, with heavy rains causing widespread flooding and triggering landslides.
Millions of people have been displaced from their homes, including 4.3 million in the Indian states of Assam and Bihar. It is the beginning of monsoon season, and the rain started on Thursday, leaving roads and railroad tracks underwater. It's estimated that some parts of Nepal saw nearly 16 inches of rain in the last few days, and in Bangladesh, officials are keeping an eye on the swollen rivers that flow into the country from India.
During the 2017 monsoon season, at least 800 people were killed in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, with countless crops and homes destroyed. Catherine Garcia
Attorney George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and one of the most prominent conservative critics of President Trump, said he always viewed Trump as "boorish, dim-witted, inarticulate, incoherent, narcissistic, and insensitive," but also thought he was an "equal-opportunity bully — in his uniquely crass and crude manner, he'll attack anyone he thinks is critical of him."
In an op-ed published Monday night in The Washington Post, Conway writes that because of Trump's tweets on Sunday, telling four Democratic lawmakers, all women of color, to "go back" where they came from, there is no doubt that "naiveté, resentment, and outright racism, roiled in a toxic mix, have given us a racist president. Trump could have used vile slurs, including the vilest of them all, and the intent and effect would have been no less clear."
Conway's mother came to the U.S. from the Philippines, and while he remembers in the 1970s a woman approached her in a parking lot and said "Go back to your country," this never really bothered him, because "to my mind, most Americans weren't like that. The woman in the parking lot was just a boor, an ignoramus, an aberration." Now, he can see there are more people in the world who share this woman's point of view, and it horrifies him that Trump appears to be one of them.
"Trump is not some random, embittered person in a parking lot — he's the president of the United States," Conway said. "By virtue of his office, he speaks for the country. What's at stake now is more important than judges or tax cuts or regulations or any policy issue of the day. What's at stake are the nation's ideals, its very soul." Read the entire op-ed at The Washington Post. Catherine Garcia

Q: Histogram of Oriented Gradients as feature vectors with vlfeat/libsvm I am quite newbie on vlfeat library for computer vision and I have problems dealing with it. What i am trying to do is using the Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) as feature vectors to classify in LIBSVM images with different dimensions.
The first issue i am dealing is the fact that vl_hog returns me a HOG matrix, not a vector. This is not a real issue because I can vectorize this matrix as it follows:
            hog = vl_hog(image,cellSize);
            features=hog(:);

The second problem is what's freaking me out. Because the images have different dimensions, the feature vectors also have different dimensions, so it's impossible to feed libsvm with them, or i'm wrong? can I solve this in an easier way? did i miss something?

A: You need to create a global representation of your local features so that you can feed your data to SVMs. One of the most popular approaches for this task is bag-of-words(features). vlfeat has an excellent demo/example for this. You can check this code from vlfeat website.
For your particular case, you need arrange your training/testing data in Caltech-101 like data directories:

*

*Letter 1

*

*Image 1

*Image 2

*Image 3

*Image 4

*...

*Letter 2

*

*...

*Letter 3

*

*...

Then you need to adjust following configuration settings for your case:
conf.numTrain = 15 ;
conf.numTest = 15 ;
conf.numClasses = 102 ;
This demo uses SIFT as local features, but you can change it to HOG afterwards.

Although only 22 years of age, Cameron has spent most of his years enjoying a passion for golf. Following on from his father's success (Cameron's father, Robert, is the Head Professional at Cardross Golf Club), Cameron also works at the club as Assistant Pro. 'My Dad has been a Professional at Cardross for 22 years…I played all of my junior golf at the club and was even Gents Club Champion at the age of 16'. Cameron has represented his club, county and country in the 22 years he has been golfing, but still hasn't developed any rituals or superstitions over that time, preferring to keep a focussed mind and get his equipment ready, warm up and have a massive breakfast on the morning of an event!
When asked which sporting legends inspired him, Cameron told us that his heroes are Rory Mcilroy and Sir Alex Ferguson. Sir Alex sheerly for his work ethic and Rory simply for the way he plays his golf. His favourite quote however, comes from another famous golfer, Tiger Woods – "No matter how good you get you can always get better and that's the exciting part". This is a quote which Cameron holds in good stead, as in October this year, he will be starting the PGA Foundation Degree at the University of Highlands and Islands, based in Dornoch. It's also quite close to the mantra which Cameron lives by – "to practice hard and to try and be the best you can be, but most of all, just enjoy the game".

Using a smart alarm that slowly gets louder gradually wakes the body.
Time management in college, and in life, is crucial. No one wants to be late, tired on the job or just plain old crabby, and it is especially hard to maintain a structured schedule right after summer vacation.
After late nights of partying, hanging out or binge-watching Netflix, mornings can be a challenge, and some nights getting a good rest doesn't seem feasible.
Waking up is the first thing we experience each day. If you didn't get the optimal eight hours of sleep the night before, it may be a rough morning, but late nights happen.
Do not hit the snooze button. When you hit this button, and enter the blissful last minute of sleep or say "five more minutes can't hurt," your body has a greater chance of falling into the deep sleep that you needed the night before.
Health Education Coordinator Taylor Schwab, who has a master's degree in public health with a concentration in health behavior analysis, recommended having a smart alarm.
"[Instead of] jolting you awake, [a smart alarm] will gradually wake you up," Schwab said.
Setting up a time frame to slowly wake the body up will give it time to adjust instead of adapt quickly. The alarm starts with subtle sound and steadily gets louder and by the end, it will wake you, he said.
Apple products have this feature in the clock app already established on the phone. Samsung, Google and Android products need an additional app purchase. Schwab suggested an app called Sleep Cycle.
Next, drink something. After sleeping, the body becomes dehydrated.
"Drinking water will wake up the metabolism and start your day in the right mindset," Schwab said. If you need something with a little more of a kick, get some caffeine in your system.
Even doing both, first drinking a glass of water and then something with caffeine in it, can work. It is all a personal preference for what works best in your body.
Schwab said that by standing in direct sunlight, you can absorb the Vitamin D and the sensation of light allows the body to wake up in a good environment.
Sleeping is a cozy, wonderful and peaceful state of mind. Our heart rates slow down, our brain takes us to places in our dreams and our muscles can take a breather. One reason waking up can be such a challenge is the fact that your body was at rest.
By increasing your heart rate, you can get blood circulating into your system again. Stretching works great. And if you really want to go above and beyond, do yoga. You can stretch your muscles and your mind while getting your heart rate up.
It's also important to set a routine. With one in place, the probability that your morning will go smoothly is higher. Always wake up at the same time, so that you don't trick your body into thinking that it is getting more or less sleep on certain days of the week. Figure out a routine that works best for you.
The routine isn't just for waking up. Going to bed seems to be hard for some people as well. With homework, activities happening around campus, and your best friend living right next door or even in the same room, it can be hard to turn your brain off and just rest.
A major reason why sleeping can be restless instead of deep is because of the blue light that screens emit. Whether it be from a cell phone, laptop or TV, it wakes up the brain and keeps it in "active" mode, Schwab said.
He also noted that many social media apps, like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr, are all blue.
The "continuous scrolling" through apps is a result of the blue undertones they emit, which keep users awake for long periods of time, Schwab said.
On Apple products, a night filter can make the phone look like it has a sepia filter. Using this can reduce the screen's negative effect, he said.
Schwab said many methods are based on personal preference, because not everyone is wired the same way and will not react to the same remedies or processes identically.
Get to know your body. Learn when to stop drinking caffeinated beverages. If you drink coffee around 1 p.m. and find yourself awake until 1 a.m., cut off consumption earlier. Be aware of your senses.
Learn how your body reacts to white noise or quiet, as well as levels of darkness, and whether you can eat right before going to sleep, Schwab said.
He also suggested paying attention to the temperature of the room and how comfortable your mattress and pillow are, and knowing how to adjust if necessary.
Be aware of your allergies and when they affect you, if they do. Keeping your room clean and as dust-free as possible can help with symptoms. Learning and assessing all these factors can benefit your sleep patterns.
By starting and ending your day right, your days can become much more bearable, so try a few of these tips and learn more about your body in the process.

FCC Waives Universal Service Rules for Low-Income Consumers, Schools, Libraries and Rural Health Care Programs During Pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FCC has issued two orders waiving rules in its universal service program to ensure continuity of service to low-income families and to facilitate expansion of service to schools, libraries and rural healthcare providers directly affected by the response to COVID-19 and now has extended and expanded the waivers for its low-income program. The orders affect the rules requiring households to demonstrate eligibility for the Lifeline program, which subsidizes service to low-income families and a rule – known as the "gift rule" – prohibiting companies providing services supported under the Schools and Libraries (also known as E-Rate) and Rural Health Care programs from offering free service in addition to the services being purchased under those programs. The waivers will allow all current Lifeline customers to continue to receive service and will allow companies offering subsidized service to schools, libraries and rural healthcare providers to provide additional, reduced price or free service without violating the FCC's rules.
Lifeline: The original order waived for 60 days the recertification and reverification requirements used to ensure that customers are eligible for Lifeline subsidies, effective immediately, and the new order extended that period for 13 additional days. As a result, carriers will not be required to drop Lifeline customers who do not meet the requirements. The new order directs the universal service fund administrator not to de-enroll any customers for failure to respond to a reverification request for subscribers with deadlines falling on or before May 29 and prohibits the administrator from initiating any new reverification requests until after May 29. Any Lifeline subscribers subject to the waiver will have an opportunity to provide eligibility documentation after the waiver ends. The new order also waives two additional rules – one that requires carriers to de-enroll Lifetime subscribers that they believe no longer are eligible for the program and one that requires some Lifeline subscribers to use the service at least once every 45 days – through May 29. The original order waived the March 26 deadline for Lifeline providers' enrollment representatives to register with the administrator before processing transactions in the Lifeline system through May 25, and this waiver remains unchanged.
Schools and libraries: The E-Rate gift rule waiver covers "broadband connections, devices, networking equipment, or other things of value" – including hotspots used for remote instruction – that could be used by schools and libraries to help students, teachers, and patrons affected by closures as a result of COVID-19. The waiver is available only for schools and libraries that are closed or are preparing for closure. While free or reduced-price services will have to be cut off once the waiver ends, it is not clear whether service providers will be required to retrieve equipment that they provide for free or at reduced prices. This waiver is in effect through September 30.
Rural health care: The gift rule waiver for the Rural Health Care program applies only to healthcare providers "involved in the screening and treatment of patients for COVID-19 and for providing services to other patients in an effort to both help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and devote limited on-site medical resources towards treatment of COVID-19." The FCC also waived the rules requiring healthcare providers to pay the unsubsidized portion of charges for services under the Healthcare Connect Fund program and requiring healthcare providers in the Telecom program to pay the urban rate for the services they receive. These waivers will allow service providers to reduce or eliminate charges during the pandemic. This waiver is in effect through September 30.
The FCC has indicated that it will extend these waivers if necessary.
What does this mean for companies participating in federal universal service programs?
Companies offering Lifeline service can provide subsidies to any customer currently receiving them, including customers who otherwise would be required to recertify between now and May 16.
Companies offering services covered by the Schools and Libraries program or the Rural Health Care program can provide additional services and equipment to customers subsidized by those programs for free or at reduced rates without risking a violation of the FCC's rules. However, they only can provide free or reduced-rate services to healthcare providers that are related to COVID-19 and to schools and libraries that have closed or are preparing to close in response to the pandemic.
Some state universal service programs may take similar actions, but the FCC's waivers do not directly affect state programs.

Chicago's Gill Park Cooperative plans major capital improvements with a $17.9 million loan from NCB.
For many housing cooperatives, making major property improvements without incurring increased maintenance fees can seem like an impossible dream. But for the residents of Chicago's Gill Park Cooperative, that dream has come true.
In February 2016, National Cooperative Bank (NCB) provided $17.9 million in financing for major renovations at Gill Park Cooperative.
The 260-unit, limited-equity housing cooperative has always operated as a 100-percent Section 8 project. Working with NCB, it was able to secure a competitive mortgage to complete its planned capital improvements over the next two years without incurring any increase in current maintenance fees.
Planned improvements at the co-op include new plumbing and HVAC system, a redesigned lobby and laundry facilities, as well as a number of exterior improvements. In addition, all interior units will be renovated with new kitchens, floors and wall finishes.
"For nearly a decade, the board at Gill Park Cooperative has had a vision of a major rehab for the building," says Mike Levine, managing agent for the cooperative. "It looked at a number of financing options such as conventional and HUD-insured loans, but none of the financing alternatives provided the necessary funding to properly complete the project."
Connecting with NCB, however, was the game-changer.
"Meeting with Larry at NCB was a big step toward the realization of the board's dream," Levine says. "After analyzing financial alternatives, he showed the board how it could generate almost $18 million in loan proceeds, which would allow for the complete rehab of the building in a manner that far exceeded the decade-long vision. The loan closed easily, and the rehab process is underway. The board is thrilled and our co-op residents cannot wait to move into their brand new apartments."
Gill Park Cooperative's experience underscores NCB's primary focus on finding the best financial solutions for housing cooperatives nationwide, says Larry Mathe, NCB senior vice president.
"We have worked with Gill Park and many other housing cooperatives to provide access to capital at a competitive rate, in order to fund improvements to their properties for current and future homeowners," Mathe says.

The Mask Falls Off
It's official. Obama hates the military and he's not even trying to hide it anymore.
Obama's War With the Pentagon
James Jones is out as national security adviser; Tom Donilon is in. What does it mean? Among other things, that we may be headed for one of the greatest civilian-military showdowns in decades.
If you haven't read Bob Woodward or Jonathan Alter's accounts of Obama administration Afghan policy, here are the CliffsNotes: Since the moment Obama took office, the military, led by David Petraeus, has been pushing for a full-on counterinsurgency effort. In other words, a lot of troops for a very long time. Obama, from the start, has resisted, raising awkward questions about why we're expending massive amounts of blood and treasure in Afghanistan when Pakistan is the country that really matters. Vice President Biden has gone further, warning that given the mind-boggling corruption of Hamid Karzai's regime, committing to an Afghan counterinsurgency war would be lunacy.
This policy struggle has not been waged according to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. The White House believes the military brass is blind to America's crushing financial constraints and the public's eroding support for the war. The military believes the White House cares more about domestic politics than national security. The White House believes the military keeps screwing the president by telling reporters and Republicans that we need more troops for a longer time, thus forcing Obama's hand.
General Jones was chosen, in part, because Obama knew this fight was coming. He wanted someone who could communicate with the generals and keep them from knifing him in the back. Jones didn't entirely succeed in that effort, which is one reason people in the White House never embraced him as one of their own. But if Jones was unable or unwilling to extinguish the flames of civil-military conflict, Donilon is the political equivalent of dousing them with gasoline.

Obama Plans To Invade Pakistan
Posted on May 28, 2010 by Killian Bundy
Mister Nobel Peace Prize winner is apparently preparing to keep one of his campaign promises and launch "overseas contingency operations" on Pakistani soil.
Options studied for a possible Pakistan strike
The U.S. military is reviewing options for a unilateral strike in Pakistan in the event that a successful attack on American soil is traced to the country's tribal areas, according to senior military officials.
Ties between the alleged Times Square bomber, Faisal Shahzad, and elements of the Pakistani Taliban have sharpened the Obama administration's need for retaliatory options, the officials said. They stressed that a U.S. reprisal would be contemplated only under extreme circumstances, such as a catastrophic attack that leaves President Obama convinced that the ongoing campaign of CIA drone strikes is insufficient.
"Planning has been reinvigorated in the wake of Times Square," one of the officials said.
At the same time, the administration is trying to deepen ties to Pakistan's intelligence officials in a bid to head off any attack by militant groups. The United States and Pakistan have recently established a joint military intelligence center on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar, and are in negotiations to set up another one near Quetta, the Pakistani city where the Afghan Taliban is based, according to the U.S. military officials. They and other officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity surrounding U.S. military and intelligence activities in Pakistan.
The "fusion centers" are meant to bolster Pakistani military operations by providing direct access to U.S. intelligence, including real-time video surveillance from drones controlled by the U.S. Special Operations Command, the officials said. But in an acknowledgment of the continuing mistrust between the two governments, the officials added that both sides also see the centers as a way to keep a closer eye on one another, as well as to monitor military operations and intelligence activities in insurgent areas.
Obama said during his campaign for the presidency that he would be willing to order strikes in Pakistan, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a television interview after the Times Square attempt that "if, heaven forbid, an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences."
Obama dispatched his national security adviser, James L. Jones, and CIA Director Leon Panetta to Islamabad this month to deliver a similar message to Pakistani officials, including President Asif Ali Zardari and the military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani.
Jones and Panetta also presented evidence gathered by U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies that Shahzad received significant support from the Pakistani Taliban.
The U.S. options for potential retaliatory action rely mainly on air and missile strikes, but could also employ small teams of U.S. Special Operations troops already positioned along the border with Afghanistan. One of the senior military officials said plans for military strikes in Pakistan have been revised significantly over the past several years, moving away from a "large, punitive response" to more measured plans meant to deliver retaliatory blows against specific militant groups.

Q: What is the correct way of protecting assignment from non-const-volatile types to const-volatile in meta-programming in C++? For example I have a function to implement null_or
template <typename T, typename U>
auto null_or(T *p, U *default_value) ->
    typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<typename std::decay<U>::type,
                                         typename std::decay<T>::type>::value,
                            T *>::type {
  if (p) {
    return p;
  } else {
    return default_value;
  }
}

using only std::decay will enable const/volatile type *default_value to assign into non-const/non-volatile type *p.
What is the best way to avoid it?

In addition, array types (with extent) like type default_value[100] are not assignable to it. How to solve it as well?

Can and Cannot examples:
  const char *s = nullptr;
  char       *s2 = nullptr;

  const char *hello0 = "hello0";
  std::string hello1 = "hello1";
  char        hello2[] = "hello2";
  char        hello3[100] = "hello3";
  int         hello4[] = {1,2,3,4,5,0};

  const char *ss = nullptr;

  // const char * ==> const char *, OK
  ss = null_or(s, hello0);
  printf("%s\n", ss);

  // std::string ==> const char *, no conversion at all, Bad
  // ss = null_or(s, hello1);
  // printf("%s\n", ss);

  // char [7] ==> const char *, OK
  ss = null_or(s, hello2);
  printf("%s\n", ss);

  // char [100] ==> const char *, OK
  ss = null_or(s, hello3);
  printf("%s\n", ss);

  // int [6] ==> const char *, Bad
  // ss = null_or(s, hello4);
  // printf("%s\n", ss);

  // const char * ==> char *, const pointer stuffs should not be assigned to non consts, Bad
  // ... also, const reference should not be assigned to non const references for some other generic algorithms
  // ss = null_or(s2, hello0);
  // printf("%s\n", ss);

  // std::string ==> char *, no version at all, Bad
  // ss = null_or(s2, hello1);
  // printf("%s\n", ss);

  // char [7] ==> char *, OK
  ss = null_or(s2, hello2);
  printf("%s\n", ss);

  // char [100] ==> char *, OK
  ss = null_or(s2, hello3);
  printf("%s\n", ss);

  // int [6] ==> char *, Bad
  // ss = null_or(s2, hello4);
  // printf("%s\n", ss);

There're also a lot of other generic algorithms that just need simple concept checking whether the right-hand-side is safe to assign into left-hand-side, so I wonder is there a more general solution to this.

A: Your examples already failed when wanted, but according to null_or definition.
You may change your declaration to
template <typename T, typename U>

Tourism is a rapidly growing industry which may have far-reaching economic and environmental impact in the Arctic. Having focused on natural wonders and nature-based tourism in international marketing, there is a growing awareness of cultural tourism as a vital part of the experience. Going forward, leveraging the unique Arctic culture in marketing campaigns represents a potential for sustainable growth, provided it is executed with insight and respect of the Arctic culture. Positioning the Arctic as a unique experience in terms of both nature and culture can thus provide a platform for increased understanding and respect for local and indigenous societies in the North.

Why 'Happy Birthday' isn't just a slogan for the NFL
Happy birthday, Ryan Mallett.
Happy birthday to a player that is a living legend, the man who has made the NFL what it is.
I've been following Ryan Mallet for a long time.
He's been a member of the New York Jets for a decade now, and his first and only head coaching job came in 2009.
He has won three Super Bowls with the Jets.
He led the Jets to a Super Bowl appearance in 2014.
He also won Super Bowl LI in 2013.
In 2016, he was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But for most of his life, Mallett has been overshadowed by his great-great-grandfather, Bill Mallett, a four-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman, and the legend of his grandfather.
Ryan Mallets first NFL team was the Atlanta Falcons, where he was a member for seven years, starting in 1989.
The Falcons went 8-8 that year, losing their last two games.
Ryan returned to the Falcons in 1992, after three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Mallet started four of his six seasons with Atlanta.
He played all over the defense, including in the Super Bowl.
Ryan had a Super-Bowl-winning season in 2001, when he played in his second season.
But he wasn't quite good enough to earn a spot on the Pro Bowl, and he had to settle for being the third or fourth-string defensive lineman.
That left him out of the Super-Eighth game in 2002.
Mallett played in the Pro-Basket Championship game, where the Falcons lost to the Denver Broncos.
That game would be his last in Atlanta.
Ryan went on to win the Superbowl in 2008 with the Houston Texans.
He was the MVP of that game, and after that he went on and won two more Super Bowl titles.
Mallets career with the Falcons went on for nine years.
In 2010, Ryan was named the Pro Bowler of the Year.
He started in every game he played for the Falcons, and led the team to four straight division titles and a trip to the Superdome in 2014, which would be Ryan's final season.
Ryan retired as a Falcons player in 2019, after 13 seasons.
He is a three-time Super Bowl winner, the only defensive player to win three Super-Sectors, a record that is now held by defensive end Dwight Freeney.
Mallettes wife, Sarah, died in 2017.
Ryan also retired from coaching in 2018, and moved into the management role of his own company.
Mallette has said he would be happy to coach again in the future.
He currently has two children, Ryan Jr. and Liza.
He announced he was leaving coaching last year, saying he wanted to focus on his family.
But after his father passed away, he announced in a statement that he was "deeply saddened by the loss of the Ryan Mallette I grew up with."
Ryan Mallelets career was cut short after the birth of his daughter, Liza, in 2018.

We had high hopes of getting on the road early. Last night I believe there was even some talk of 'leaving at 6am', but after we left IKEA we bought a case of Steamwhistle and ended up over at a friend's house drinking until midnight.
We then had to come home and finish doing our laundry (while fighting to stay awake), and ended up getting on the road closer to 9am.
I had my first glimpses of Toronto around 1:30pm. The friends we were staying with have what I had fantasized about as the epitome of an artsy Toronto abode – a rent-controlled hard loft located on St. Clair West, with a wide open studio space/living room, prints everywhere, an old vinyl dinner booth against the bay window, racks of camera gear in the corner, and vintage wallpaper peeling off the walls. It was an awesome place to stay. Thanks Liz and Sam! You guys could make a killing on AirBnB.
We felt like having a chill day, so after getting caught up with emails and making friends with the chief feline where we were staying, we decided to go take a walk around the city to check out some of the neighbourhoods.
I really wanted to check out The Annex and the area around the University of Toronto Campus.
Located downtown, The Annex is full of these bay-and-gable homes with old, overflowing gardens and red brick facades.
The Annex's boundaries are a perfect square made by tracing a line from the corner of Bathurst and Dupont, going east and down Avenue Rd. to Bloor Street, and then heading west until you hit Bathurst, and back up to Dupont.
With its proximity to University of Toronto, the area is a student quarter, but also houses university faculty and is known for its academia-vibe. Rumour has it that my big crush Margaret Atwood also lives around here.
A few blocks over, the University of Toronto campus was lively, despite it being the middle of summer. We hung out and joked about what it would be like to have lived here. In my imaginary life, I lived in the Annex and attended Victoria College for my undergrad, biking home from the vine-covered music building after late-night flute practice. Tummies grumbling after so much walking, we walked over to Fernando's Hideaway and got Mexican food and tried deep-fried ice cream for the first time.
We reunited with friends we hadn't seen in the years since graduating from Bishop's at Christie Pits Park near Koreatown, shared some hugs and after debating, got Vietnamese takeout and walked to Dufferin Park where we spent the rest of the night drinking and catching up.
We also recorded a sweet little ditty that you'll hear on our Ontario video once we finish recording our timelapse in this province. Stay tuned for some folk magic.
Also, right now we're camping in Montana where the wifis are few and far between, and painfully slow when they do exist. In a couple days I'll be staying with family in Calgary, and am looking forward to powerful wifi and showers.

Home European History Ancient British History Alcuin: Saxon Scholar of the First Order
Ancient British History
Alcuin: Saxon Scholar of the First Order
Many historians breathlessly proclaim the Venerable Bede as the greatest mind of his generation. This may very well have been true. However, Alcuin (just Alcuin) did for learning and theology in York what Bede did for history and theology in Jarrow: increase both mightily and leave a legacy for others to follow.
Alcuin was from his early days a curious and pious fellow. He was born somewhere near York in 735. (His birthplace is still debated.) He showed an exceeding interest and ability with books, and the forming of libraries that came naturally to him kept him busy all his life.
Indeed, it could be argued that his love of libraries fostered in him a desire to share his knowledge with others, just as the books he so enjoyed fostered a similar desire in himself. It is certainly the case that those who wrote of him or wrote of people who knew him said that his passion for learning and the sharing of knowledge were fires that burned deep within him.
Alcuin: Saxon Scholar of the First Order Together with Archbishop Aelbert of York, Alcuin traveled extensively in Europe, even meeting Charlemagne in March 781. France's Charles the Great so impressed Alcuin that the latter moved to France to become "Master of the Palace School." In France, as in England, Alcuin strove to make his school a wide-reaching center of learning. He cultivated learning and sources of learning, building great libraries and teaching a love of scholarship. He wrote tirelessly, on subjects as diverse as grammar and astronomy.
As a religious scholar he was first-rate as well. One of his major works was a revision of the current Bible, making it more consistent with earlier writings. He also wrote biographies of important religious people. Lastly, he wrote liturgies, masses, and epistles, many of which became quite popular within the religious community.
He might not be as popular or as beloved as Bede, but Alcuin had (it could be argued) more of an effect on education and scholars in England and Europe. Certainly they should be mentioned in the same breath when one speaks about the furthering of learning in Anglo-Saxon England.
In the morning, at the height of my powers, I sowed the seed in Britain, now in the evening when my blood is growing cold I am still sowing in France, hoping both will grow, by the grace of God, giving some the honey of the holy scriptures, making others drunk on the old wine of ancient learning…
Alcuin

Wisconsin confirms 1st case of new virus from China
It is the first confirmed case in the state and the 12th in the U.S., health officials said Wednesday.

MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin resident who returned from a trip to China last week has been sickened with a new virus that originated there, becoming the first confirmed case in the state and the 12th in the U.S., health officials said Wednesday.
The adult patient went straight from the Madison airport to the University of Wisconsin Hospital emergency room to be tested for the virus and they have remained in isolation at home ever since, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said.
"They are doing well," Rhodes-Conway said. "They are still in isolation at home and will remain there until testing shows they no longer have the coronavirus."
State and local officials declined to release more details about the person, including their age and sex. The person lives in Dane County, where the capital city of Madison and the flagship University of Wisconsin campus is located, but officials would not say where exactly.
The person had mild symptoms, including fever, cough and shortness of breath, but is "doing well" and recovering at home, said Dr. Ryan Westergaard, chief medical officer in Wisconsin's Department of Health Services Bureau of Communicable Disease.
The patient was tested for the coronavirus because they had traveled to Beijing, China, within two weeks, said Dr. Nasia Safdar, director of infection control at UW Health. The person arrived in Madison on Jan. 30, said Janel Heinrich, director of public health for Madison and Dane County. Positive test results from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came back on Wednesday morning.
People who were on the same flights with the person are in the process of being identified and contacted by their local health departments, said Amanda Kita Yarborough, an epidemiologist with the Madison Dane County Health Department.
Health officials said those who came into direct contact with the infected person, including UW emergency room staff who interacted with the patient, are also being evaluated.
"The risk to Wisconsin residents in general is extremely low," Westergaard said.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, home to more than 40,000 students, banned student travel to China last week. The hospital where the patient was treated is located on campus.
Symptoms of the virus include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. They range from having a mild illness, like the common cold, to severe pneumonia requiring hospitalization. Health officials believe it can take up to two weeks for someone who is infected to show symptoms.
The outbreak of the new type of coronavirus has infected more than 24,500 people globally, with all but a couple of hundred of those in China. There have been 490 deaths in China but none in the U.S. Other cases of the pneumonia-like virus include six in California, one in Massachusetts, one in Washington state, one in Arizona and two in Chicago.
The virus is a member of the coronavirus family that's a close cousin to the SARS and MERS viruses that caused outbreaks in the past.
Governments have rushed to get their citizens out of China, which is orchestrating history's largest anti-viral campaign by blocking 50 million people from leaving Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, and nearby areas. A growing number of Chinese cities are discouraging people from even leaving their apartments.

2015 St. Louis Rams Regular Season
St. Louis Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers: Five Rams Players to Watch
Here's the handful of Rams to look for as the Rams close out their 2015 season.
By EddieP@iAmEddieP_ Jan 2, 2016, 2:00pm CST
Share All sharing options for: St. Louis Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers: Five Rams Players to Watch
Season Finale. It has been a roller coaster ride year for the 2015 St. Louis Rams. While the team is not playing to ready itself for the postseason, it is on a three-game winning streak. The Rams will look to make it four in a row and end the season with a win against the San Francisco 49ers.
So, without further ado, lets get to the five Rams players to watch for the 2015 season finale:
WR Tavon Austin
Through 15 games, Tavon leads the Rams with a jaw-dropping (please insert sarcasm here) 47 catches. He is third on the team with 443 receiving yards.
Obviously, Austin is not much of a receiving threat. He is, however, a legitimate scoring threat. He leads the Rams with five receiving touchdowns. He has four rushing touchdowns under his belt. Throw in another TD via punt return. In total, Tavon has 10 TDs, the same has rookie sensation Todd Gurley.
So while Tavon is not a threat as a receiver, he is a legitimate scoring threat.
WR Kenny Britt
I recall an article written by ESPN's Nick Wagoner about Britt. In the piece, Britt states he wants to end every season with his gas tank on E – leaving it all on the field
"I don't want to leave this season saying I left something out there on the field," said Britt. Well, lets hope Britt has more to offer than the 33 receptions he has this year.
In Britt's defense, he has had his fair share of big plays this year. He has four catches of 40 yards or more this season, with a long of 60 yards. He leads the team with 600 receiving yards. He's had a touchdown in the last two games.
The issue lies with Britt's consistency. He will make a play for 40 yards, 55 yards, but then disappear for the entire game. He will make three catches for 87 yards, but he won't do shit after that. Britt needs to go that extra mile. I don't know if Britt lacks that je ne sais quoi, or of it is the Rams lackluster quarterbacks, but if Kenny had IT, the Rams would be much better off.
Another score this Sunday could push Britt in the right direction.
CB Trumaine Johnson
Janoris Jenkins' slogan this year may be "#ClampSeason" but Trumaine Johnson his definitely the truth at corner for the Rams. Tru leads the Rams in interceptions with seven. He ranks as the fifth best corner, according to Pro Football Focus. Tru also is ranked No.1 in NFL QB rating allowed in his coverage (47.4).
Johnson can continue to add to his impressive season this Sunday against Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers.
QB Case Keenum
Keenum averages less than 150 yards per game. He is by no means a quarterback that can take an offense to the next level. But for the Rams, as long as Case does not turn the ball over, he is aight. And that is what Case has going for him. Through his four starts, Keenum only has two giveaways – one interception and one fumble.
Keep that going for yourself, Case.
RB Tre Mason
Starting running back, Todd Gurley, sat out of Wednesday's and Thursday's practice dealing with a foot injury. So the next man up is second-year back Tre Mason. If TG is not cleared, this will be Mason's first start since Week 3.
Mason has not done much this season – he only has 163 yards on 57 carries. He was, however, the Rams lead back a a year ago in the 2014 season. That year he proved to be a solid back, running for 765 yards on 179 carries – an average of 4.3 yards per carry. His numbers, however, were boosted by a number of big plays. In 12 games, he averaged four yards or more only five times.
So for Tre to be successful, The line will have to open up holes for him, he cannot take what is given to him and make a hole appear, like Gurley. He cannot make his own path like Gurley can, but he can take it to the house. Lets hope Tre takes one all the way.

MS wireless steering wheel out of production - any replacements?
Discussion in 'Sim Racing Hardware' started by azra7, Dec 2, 2010.
I have just learnt that the MS wireless is no longer produced.
Does anybody know if our favourite MSoft is planning to have replacement for it?
No idea, but not heard anything atm. To be brutally honest tho, the MS wireless wheel was pretty poor anyway..........But Fanatec are making a new xbox/ps3/pc comptable wheel, due very soon!
Yeah, but they also claim it will be their top of the line wheel, which means pricey.
Well, they are all porsche steering wheels. The wheels currently on their site are pc only. The wheel that Brian is referring to has only just been announced and should be available soon.
Its to bad. MS wants to keep the wheels in their own hand. If they just allow it like Sony to use every normal PC wheel.
Agreed. I'd personally get it, but that price only covers the price of the wheel. I'd still want the shifters and pedals...Just something to consider about that price, however it's really your only option for an xbox racing wheel. So I guess, "Go big, or go home."
It still is 1/4 of the price of the Fanatec one and I got it from the auctioning portal in Poland. Should you need help with getting one, lemme know.
Would love to get one of those. Only recently got an Xbox bought for me to play F1 2010 and had no idea that getting a wheel and pedals for it would be such an issue!!! Nowhere has the Microsoft wireless wheel in stock, Game has the new Madcatz but at over 100 quid for a wheel with no force feedback it seems a bit steep. I have opted to go for the Microcon MC2 to tide me over until something better turns up.

Kid? How old are you Pee-Wee?
We've all been there. Now it's his turn. And?
I'm not a driver so please elaborate?
Jelly some kid could hack it and you couldn't.
I'm not a driver , I got disqualified because i sucked please elaborate?
That doesn't make any sense. He should know if he made it or not. Can't he tell by looking for his name of the Seniority list? It should say if he is seasonal or if he made perm by his hire date/ Perm date.
It seems to me that UPS scammed you into thinking you are the best sorter alive when actually you are no more than a replaceable bag of meat pushing boxes around.
Did he use different colored crayons to write the letter to the CEO?
Now he's in. Tell him congratulations for me.

A common reason of poor hair condition or hair loss is a shortage of essential vitamins and minerals. Below we list the top 7 most important vitamins and minerals for healthy hair growth and prevention of hair loss.
Biotin, or vitamin B8, is one of the most important vitamins against hair loss. Vitamin B8 is necessary for the maintenance of healthy hair. Biotin contributes to the production of keratin, important for healthy hair, scalp and nails. Biotine can also prevent the hair from becoming gray. Biotin occurs in soy products, nuts (especially almonds, hazelnuts), peanuts (a legume), eggs and milk.
Folic acid is essential for cell development and tissue growth. This makes it also important for healthy hair follicles and thus hair growth. Folic acid also ensures better blood circulation, allowing the nutrients to reach the scalp better. Folic acid is also known as vitamin B11 and is called B9 in Germany, France and the United States. Foods rich in folic acid are green leafy vegetables, sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, citrus fruits and liver.
Selenium is a mineral that plays an important role in the maintenance of healthy hair. A deficiency can contribute to brittle hair and hair loss. Selenium supports the body in the processing of proteins. Since hair is mainly composed of proteins, sufficient selenium is essential for hair growth. Selenium occurs in many foods, in small quantities. Brazil nuts, fish and shellfish are very rich in selenium.
Like Selenium, Zink has the recognized EFSA health claim that helps to keep the hair healthy. Zinc ensures a good build up of proteins and therefore also for all body tissues, including hair. Zinc is also involved in the formation of keratin. It is therefore considered as one of the best substances for healthy hair growth. A low zinc value can also increase the chance of more DHT in the body and a shortage of zinc can lead to more hairs in the telogen (rest) phase and thin and brittle hair. Zinc is found in oysters, meat, brown bread, legumes and sunflower seeds.
Iron is a component of hemoglobin, this substance transports oxygen through the body. A shortage of iron can cause brittle hair and hair loss. Iron is present in many foods, such as meat, beans, dark green leafy vegetables, pumpkin seeds and seaweed. Iron you actually always get enough with a varied diet.
In addition to the specific B vitamins B8 (Biotin) and B11 (Folic acid), almost all B vitamins are of great importance for healthy hair. They play an essential role in the metabolism in the cells.
For example, a shortage of Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) may contribute to hair loss. B2 also supports the inclusion of vitamin B6 and iron, both important for good hair growth. Vitamin B2 can be found in dairy, meat, broccoli, egg and nuts. Niacinamide (or Niacin, Vitamin B3) provides a dilation of blood vessels that stimulates blood flow in the scalp, allowing nutrients to better reach the hair and scalp. It can also lower cholesterol, which can contribute to a reduction in hair loss. Vitamin B3 is found in fish, meat, nuts and grains. From Vitamin B5 (Panthotenic Acid) is known to cause a hair loss. Vitamin B5 can be found in chicken, milk, cereals and salmon. A shortage of V itamine B12 (Cyanocobalamin) can contribute to hair loss and the development of gray hair. Vitamin B12 only occurs in foods of animal origin, such as meat and dairy.
Vitamin A (retinol) is an antioxidant that promotes the general health of the scalp. It stimulates the production of sebum. Sebum protects the hair from dehydration. Make sure you get enough of this vitamin, but not too much: too much of this vitamin can stimulate hair loss. A deficiency of this vitamin can lead to dry hair and dry scalp. Vitamin A is found in many foods, such as milk, broccoli, spinach, carrots and cabbage varieties. With a varied diet you also always get enough vitamin A inside.
For a healthy scalp and hair growth, Vitamin C and Vitamin E are also important to get enough. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that is important for maintaining and building collagen in the skin and around the hair follicle. Vitamin C also helps the body to absorb iron. Vitamin C occurs in citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwi, tomatoes and green vegetables. Vitamin E stimulates the blood supply in the scalp so that the hair follicles receive the right building materials for optimal hair growth. A vitamin E deficiency can lead to hair loss and dandruff. Vitamin E occurs in, among other things, eggs, sunflower seeds, leafy vegetables and asparagus.
How do you get enough of everything?
With a varied diet with sufficient vegetables and fruit, possibly supplemented with a multivitamin tablet, you get a lot of vitamins already inside. For healthy hair growth, some vitamins are so important that a higher dosage gives a much better result. For other vitamins, too high a dosage can be harmful, both for hair growth and for general health. It is therefore important to get the right quantities and ratios. The safest, easiest and most effective solution to get all vitamins against hair loss is a nutritional supplement specially formulated for hair growth.
Effective nutritional supplements to stimulate hair growth contain, in addition to vitamins and minerals, plant extracts with DHT-inhibiting properties. Think Saw Palmetto (with the active ingredient Beta-sitosterol) and Nettle. In addition, a number of amino acids have proven to be effective, such as Taurine. These ingredients can be found in the Nuviante.
If you have problems with hair loss and baldness, try the natural and herbal-based hair treatment formula called Nuviante. Nuviante is the advanced hair growth formula that functions exclusively in four different stages.
