The Catholic Church in the Middle East is under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. The Catholic Church is said to have traditionally originated in the Middle East in the 1st century AD, and was one of the major religions of the region from the 4th-century Byzantine reforms until the centuries following the Arab Islamic conquests of the 7th century AD. Ever since, its proportion has decreased until today's diaspora tendency, mainly due to persecution by Islamic majority societies. In most Islamic countries, the Catholic Church is severely restricted or outlawed. Significant exceptions include Israel and Lebanon.

The largest group remaining in the Middle East is the Maronite Church based in Beirut, Lebanon, an Eastern Catholic church in full communion with the Pope and the rest of the Catholic Church.

In addition, the Latin Church in the Middle East comprise Latin Catholics, called Latins during the Middle Ages, subject to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

Overview

Christianity in the Middle East is characterized by its diverse beliefs and traditions, compared to Christianity in other parts of the Old World. In 2010, Christians were estimated to make up 5% of the total Middle Eastern population, down from 20% in the early 20th century. This was before the devastating civil wars in Syria and Iraq.

Proportionally, Lebanon has the highest rate of Christians in the Middle East, where the percentage ranges between 39% and 40.5%, followed directly by Egypt where most likely Christians (especially ethnic Copts) account for about 10 percent, while in total the largest absolute figures.

The majority of the Lebanese Christians consists of the Maronite Church based in Beirut, an Eastern Catholic church in full communion with the Pope and the rest of the Catholic Church.

Demographics

The second largest Christian group in the Middle East are the Arabic-speaking Maronites who are Catholics and number some 1.1–1.2 million across the Middle East, mainly concentrated within Lebanon. Many Maronites often avoid an Arabic ethnic identity in favour of a pre-Arab Phoenician
or Canaanite heritage, to which most of the Lebanese population belongs. In Israel, Maronites are classified as ethnic Arameans and not Lebanese (together with smaller Aramaic-speaking Christian populations of Syriac Orthodox and Greek Catholics).

The Arab Christians, who are mostly descended from Arab Christian tribes, are significantly adherents of the Eastern Orthodox Church. They number more than 1.5 million. Catholics of the Latin Church are small in numbers. Most Catholics are Maronites, Melkites, Catholic Syrians, Armenians and Chaldeans (from Iraq).Protestants altogether number about 400,000. Arabized Melkite Catholics of the Byzantine Rite, who are usually referred to as Arab Christians, number over 1 million in the Middle East. They came into existence as a result of a schism within the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch over the election of a Patriarch in 1724.

The Eastern Aramaic speaking Assyrians of Iraq, southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran and northeastern Syria, who number 2–3 million, have suffered both ethnic and religious persecution over the last few centuries such as the Assyrian genocide conducted by the Ottoman Turks, leading to many fleeing and congregating in areas in the north of Iraq and the northeast of Syria, followed by the Genocide of the Islamic State in the 21st century. The great majority are Catholic Chaldeans. In Iraq, the number of Assyrians has declined to between 250,000 and 300,000 (from 0.8–1.4 million before the US invasion in 2003). Christians numbered between 800,000 and 1.2 million before 2003. During 2014, the Assyrian population of North Iraq collapsed due to the Muslim Jihadist persecution.

A 2015 study estimates 483,500 Christian believers from a Muslim background in the Middle East, most of them belonging to some form of Protestantism.

Decline
The number of Middle Eastern Christians is dropping due to such factors as low birth rates compared with Muslims, disproportionately high emigration rates, and ethnic and religious persecution. In addition, political turmoil has been and continues to be a major contributor pressing indigenous Middle Eastern Christians of various ethnicities towards seeking security and stability outside their homelands. Recent spread of Jihadist and Salafist ideology, foreign to the tolerant values of the local communities in Syria and Egypt has also played a role in unsettling Christians' decades-long peaceful existence. In 2011, it was estimated that at the present rate, the Middle East's 12 million Christians would likely drop to 6 million by the year 2020.

Censorship and Corruption at South Africa's Public Broadcaster?
Things aren't going too well for South Africa's public broadcaster.
The country's parliament is holding an enquiry into the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) amid allegations of censorship, government interference and preferential treatment for a chief operating officer who seemingly lied about his qualifications but is in favor with President Jacob Zuma.
Why is the SABC in trouble?
For a variety of reasons, many of which relate to Hlaudi Motsoeneng, who took up the acting role of chief operating officer at the SABC in 2011. Motsoeneng introduced what became known as a "sunshine news" quota at the SABC, which required the majority of news coverage to be positive.
This policy came into sharp relief earlier in 2016, when the SABC refused to cover violent protests across the country. Protesters in South Africa's northern Limpopo province torched more than 20 schools in a dispute over district boundaries in May, while people also took to the streets and clashed with security forces in Pretoria in June ahead of local government elections in August.
In a statement, the SABC said they were not going to "provide publicity to such actions that are destructive and regressive," with Motsoeneng suggesting that broadcasting footage of protesters would encourage copycat acts.
How did people in South Africa react?
Lots of them reacted with indignation. The South African National Editors' Forum said the policy smacked of apartheid, the political system of racial segregation that was abolished in South Africa in 1994, when "the apartheid regime blamed media...for spreading nationwide uprisings" and "a picture of false peace was being manufactured." The acting chief executive of the SABC, Jimi Matthews, resigned in June, saying that the corporation's policies had "compromised the values I hold dear."
A group of journalists spoke out against the censorship policy and were sacked. In July, a labor court ruled that the group—who have become known as the SABC 8—were unlawfully dismissed and should be reinstated.
What has the parliamentary enquiry found so far?
While the enquiry is still in its early stages, there have already been some juicy allegations. One of the SABC 8, Vuyo Mvoko—who was formerly a contributing editor at the corporation—claimed that the network had directed money towards a rival network, ANN7, owned by the Guptas, a family with close links to Zuma. The motive behind this alleged transfer of funds is unclear, but other SABC journalists have claimed that Motsoeneng acted with impunity at the SABC, knowing that his role was protected by the highest echelons of South Africa's government.

Keke Palmer Reveals The Life-Changing Sex Advice Whoopi Goldberg Gave Her
Keke Palmer recently opened up about the life-changing sex advice she once received from "Sister Act" star Whoopi Goldberg.
On Tuesday's episode of the "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer" podcast, the young actor spoke with sex therapist Kate Balestrieri about her complicated relationship with intimacy. Palmer recalled that Goldberg's words of wisdom helped her realize what she actually desired in bed — and it wasn't "porn-style" sex.
"I'll never forget, I was on 'The View' one time, and they were having a conversation about sex — a really great conversation. And Whoopi Goldberg said, 'Please, just start with pleasing yourself,'" Palmer said. "And I was like, 'That rings true.'"
The "Nope" star also told Balestrieri that she used to see sex as something centered more on her partner's experience than her own.
"My identity with sex, it was always based upon, 'Oh, I've just got to do this service.' And my enjoyment … came from 'I'm glad they're happy,'" she said.
But according to Palmer, even back then she knew this wasn't the best mindset to have.
"That was, like, depressing and not enough. … So, it was a journey of trying to figure out what works for me," she recalled.
Later in the episode, the KeyTV creator said that she had previously based her approach to sex on what she had seen in porn.
"There was one time in my life where I thought porn-simulation sex … was something that could be interesting or fun, but I never actually had a happy ending from it," Palmer said.
Earlier this month, the "True Jackson, VP" alum offered up similar thoughts on the topic during an appearance on the "Whoreible Decisions" podcast.
"I've only ever had an actual happy ending from a more demure, a more calmer, a more emotional approach," she said at the time. Palmer noted that this was reflected in her preference for "girl-on-girl porn," describing it as "nice and beautiful."
"It's the delicacy of the arrangement. I don't like all that rough stuff," she said.
Though the Emmy winner has largely kept her relationships out of the spotlight over the years, she did go Instagram official with fitness and entertainment professional Darius Jackson in 2021.
"This is the happiest I've ever felt with someone," Palmer told Bustle of her sweetheart in March. "So why would I go out of my way to hide this person? That's a lot more work than just living in my life and being in my life."

Last fall, Zvi Richman knew that the time had come to get serious about losing weight and lowering his A1C levels. With that in mind, the 67-year-old Monsey, N.Y. resident walked into Inserra Supermarkets' ShopRite of Tallman for an impromptu nutrition counseling session with Johna Mailolli, R.D., the store's registered dietitian. Since that initial meeting with Mailolli, Richman has significantly improved his AIC levels and dropped more than 20 pounds. He continues to meet with Mailolli on a weekly basis.
Richman and Mailolli often walk through the aisles of ShopRite of Tallman, reviewing nutrition labels and discussing healthy food choices. They also talk through upcoming parties and events, where high-fat foods and treats may be in abundance, and address how Richman can easily avoid over-indulging.
Inserra Supermarkets' registered dietitians have been added in recent years as part of the company's free health and wellness programming for its customers. Under the direction of Lindsey Inserra, vice president of marketing and corporate retail health and wellness, the dietitians serve as wellness resources for customers as they are shopping, answering all of their nutrition-related questions. The dietitians also provide free one-on-one nutrition counseling, such as Mailolli does with Richman.


M1 Postpaid mobile customers who pay a monthly subscription for this add-on, will not be charged an additional 20% on top of all postpaid roaming rates.

How can I activate Missed Call Alert service?
Can I use Missed Call Alert in Singapore?
Missed Call Alert is only for customers roaming overseas with M1.
Why am I charged for incoming SMS as well as Missed Call Alert?
Foreign operator may impose charges for receiving incoming SMS.
While travelling, I received 6 Alerts on Day 1, and none on Day 2 yet my bill indicated that I received 4 Alerts on Day 1 & 2 Alerts on Day 2?
This is because of the time difference in the country you were roaming. MCA is billed based on Singapore time.
When will I receive a Missed Call Alert when roaming?
To receive Missed Call Alerts while roaming from a caller in Singapore, he/she must not be calling from a private number or public phone or have "Caller Number Non Display Service" activated.

You will see the caller's number, the time and date of call.
Sometimes a local number (from the country I'm roaming in) is reflected in my SMS, instead of my caller's number. Why is this so? Will I be able to call my caller back on that local number?
The number is a standard number set by the foreign operator for re-routed calls. You won't be able to reach your caller using that local number. You will still be charged for the Missed Call Alert in this case.

A book you started but never finished but want to finish. What stopped you from continuing to read it?
Hmm, only one… okay, I'm going to go with The Book Thief.
I refuse to believe that I didn't like it. It sounds perfect for me, right up my alley. There's no conceivable reason why I shouldn't like it. I think that when I tried I just wasn't in the mood for the seriousness of the story. I'm definitely going to go back and try again, eventually. When my schedule permits it. That magical day in the world of 'someday'.
First I look at the cover. We all like to say not to judge a book by it's cover, but the truth is that there are so many books out there that we have to start with the presentation first. That's reality. After being attracted by the cover, I read the synopsis. I can't really tell what hooks me in a synopsis, it's pretty wide. I look more toward things that turn me off, like if the romance/plot sounds like fifty others I've read before. If the synopsis sounds good, then I use my Goodreads app scanner and go look at the overall rating. (I might be a little bit of a rating snob.) Then I look at who rated it, and how they rated it. I know who on my GR friend list shares my tastes. I also tend to get turned off if a book is too hyped, so lesser known with a good rating, that usually makes the book a shoe in for me.
What book are you currently reading or going to read?
I am currently reading The Inexplicable Logic of My Life. And after, I'm playing to read Strays.
Sometimes. It depends on the book and the film. I think you could judge Harry Potter by it's movie. I think the movie is amazing and gives you an idea of the amazingness of the books. The same is true of Lord of the Rings, or A Monster Calls. In other cases, no. The movie sucked and it's not a fair representation of the book.
What book did you badly judge by its cover and end up loving?
Victor Bayne. In fact, I wrote an entire post about how he's my fictional twin. You can read that here.
What YA book do you wish they'd accurately make into a movie?
Gone by Michael Grant. I don't think it should be a movie, but I would love to see a television network do this series. Maybe on Sci-Fi or CW… it could be so good.
Tears streamed down her face as she watched him walk away. It felt as though her heart ceased beating, while silently begged him to turn around. Her eyes on his retreating back, knowing he would never again reassure her they were strong enough to withstand anything. This time it was truly over.
MY QUESTION FOR YOU: Who would you cast in the story of your life?
Thanks for reading! And, one more time, thank you Katlyn for the nomination. I appreciate it.
This is such a cool little award. This is only the second time I've seen it, and it keeps get more interesting. Your story was so good, Birdie! So moving for only 50 words. And oh gosh, I have not seen a bird temper tantrum, but I am quite scared to now. XD and the Gone series would have made such a fanatastic show. There was this Netflix series…Between I think it was called that seemed a lot like Gone to me that worked well as a series (or so I think since I never got around to watching it). Thanks so much for the nomination, Birdie! I will definitely be doing this one soon! 😀 thanks again and wonderful post!
Was that the show that had the girl from iCarly in it? I think I started watching it but didn't continue. It did remind me of Gone, lol.
I actually agree with you on the Harry Potter series being movies. Unfortunately I only read the first theee books (way back when they first came out) but from what I remember the movies were very close to them.
Thanks for nominating me! 😀 I could totally seen Gone as a TV show; although I don't know how long I would want it. I feel like it might turn into an Under the Dome situation where they run out of content from the book and want to make it longer, but they start creating things and it just does't work. But who knows!
That's true, when I was reading it I just thought it worked out really well with every book in the series taking on another large problem. Gone being about the disappearance of the adults, Hunger being about the food running out, Plague about the sickness, etc. My biggest issue is the kids should be older than 14 like in the book.
But I would love to see it brought to the TV side of things. Maybe even a mini series could work!
Oh for sure. That's why I thought the Sci-Fi channel, with like 13 episode seasons. A miniseries would be perfect!
Awesome answers! Your fifty word story is heartbreaking. It's amazing how much emotion a mere fifty words can carry.
This is a cool tag! I loved your mini story at the end, now I want to read more. Oh my gosh, Gone would make such a great tv series! There are enough characters and content to keep it going for a few seasons too. How are you enjoying Inexplicable Logic of My Life?
Everyone loves it, lol. I think I'm the only one who struggled.


Cut a piece of fabric 24" wide by the width of the fabric, 58" in my case.
Fold with the right sides together, matching the long edges. Start stitching 2" from the end with a 1/4" seam. Stop 2" from the other end. I only left 1" and it made the rest of the steps a little more difficult. If your fabric is thick you might want to even go 3 or 4". Press the seam to one side.
Turn the scarf right side out. With right sides together, match up the two short edges. Stitch together with a 1/4" seam.
Stitch the opening closed by hand and you're done.
By using the width of the fabric, this is the perfect length to loop around my neck twice. It looks great with my new tank and, for now, a jacket.
See, I did need that fabric after all! Right?

Anti-Corruption News: Feb/28/2019
The Higher court has ruled that Serj's brother Levon Sargsyan's arrest warrant is legal. The NSS says they know which country he is hiding in, but are currently unable to catch and extradite him.
Sargsyan, his son and daughter, were charged with illegal enrichment last year. An arrest warrant has been issued for him.
NSS confirms that 2 State Oversight Committee agents were arrested for abusing their power and helping a company to win dialysis equipment sales contracts.
The agents in question threatened hospitals with obstructions in the event they refused to allow the new medical company to win some of the contracts.
As a result, the hospitals had to reduce the medical equipment quality standards so the new company could compete. This has placed patient lives at risk.
The new medical company's chief is also arrested for his role in the process.
Two felony charges are pressed against the suspects.
SOC chief Sanasaryan has a different opinion of what happened. Says the incident should have been resolved with administrative warnings instead of an arrest, because he doesn't think it was an elaborate corruption scheme by the two agents.
He insists that the dialysis field had a monopoly issue. St. Gregory Illuminator hospital was only served by one medical equipment provider. After SOC's intervention, 9 companies participated in the contract auctions. The market was opened for the first time, says Sanasaryan.
He believes the powerful business interests played a role in manipulating the story, as in the case with Health Minister Torosyan when he became a target after busting a large subsidy corruption scheme in St. Gregory Illuminator hospital.
Sanasaryan disagrees with Vanadzor hospital chief that the agents' actions resulted in a deficiency of dialysis equipment. He disagrees with the hospital administration that the two existing equipment providers should always win the auctions due to quality standards, saying that other hospitals use other providers without quality problems.
(In other words, Sanasaryan believes some hospitals and equipment providers might have colluded to fix contracts in favor of specific providers. SOC agents allegedly tried to break it, and got accused of fixing the game. He doesn't know whether the agents colluded with a specific company. NSS believes the agents acted in a bad faith, and were doing a favor to the new medical company.)
NSS and the police have uncovered a corruption scheme by Geghadir's former mayor. He is accused of stealing 1.7mln in state funds
Serj's chief bodyguard Vachagan Ghazaryan has returned the funds he was accused of stealing, and doesn't possess a threat of obstructing the investigation. As a result, prosecutors have agreed not to challenge his 50mln bail release while the investigation continues. He was released from detention on December 30.

Hanoi (VNA) - Party General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong on September 21 chaired a working session between the Politburo and the standing board of the Central Public Security Party Committee to collect feedback on draft documents and personnel work for submission to the seventh Congress of the Central Public Security Party Organisation for the 2020-2025 tenure.
Party chief Trong highlighted the position, role, and importance of the people's public security force, together with the people's army, in maintaining political security and social safety and order and creating a favourable environment for national construction and defence.
He asked the force to continue renewing operations to suit reality amid the global integration period and to forecast the situation to offer suggestions to accomplish the task of protecting security and safety in the new situation.
The leader expressed a belief that the people's public security force will continue striving to fulfil their assigned tasks and hoped that they would work closely with the army and relevant units to firmly fight corruption and negative behaviour.
The Politburo lauded the force for discovering and effectively preventing plots by reactionary forces and political opportunists, protecting the absolute safety of the country's important political targets and events, fighting the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation", ensuring cyber security and safety, dealing with emerging issues regarding social safety and security in ethnic and religious groups, and actively joining in the fight against COVID-19.
They were also hailed for cracking down on crime, including major economic and corruption cases, complex drug trafficking rings, and loan sharking, among others.
Regarding future tasks, the Politburo stressed that the Central Public Security Party Organisation must pay special attention to Party building work, building a strong force that is absolutely loyal to the Party and close to the people.
The Central Public Security Party Committee also made personnel preparations in a serious and democratic manner in line with the Politburo's Decree No 35-CT/TW and guidelines of the Party Central Committee.
On the occasion, Party leader Trong expressed his hope that the seventh Congress of the Central Public Security Party Organisation will be a success, thus opening up a new period of development./.

Q: GRE word frequency I was studying GRE sample questions, and thanks to google English meaning bar it shows the "Use over time for..." that word. After seeing a lot plots, I found a pattern. Most of them has been least used in last decade.
My question is why would words which have less usage now-a-days are being asked more frequently in GRE exam?

A: I think it has to do with a limited amount of time.
Words with high frequency in the last decade are probably words that are commonly known. If the GRE is supposed to test vocabulary, it makes sense to me to prioritize testing on words that MIGHT be used, but with less frequency.

Sinatra: Best of the Best
Francis Albert Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian immigrants, Sinatra began his musical career in the swing era with bandleaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. Sinatra found success as a solo artist after he signed with Columbia Records in 1943 Read Full BioFrancis Albert Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian immigrants, Sinatra began his musical career in the swing era with bandleaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. Sinatra found success as a solo artist after he signed with Columbia Records in 1943, becoming the idol of the "bobby soxers". He released his debut album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1946. Sinatra's professional career had stalled by the early 1950s, and he turned to Las Vegas, where he became one of its best known residency performers as part of The Rat Pack. His career was reborn in 1953 with the success of From Here to Eternity, with his performance subsequently winning an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Sinatra released several critically lauded albums, including In the Wee Small Hours (1955), Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (1956), Come Fly with Me (1958), Only the Lonely (1958) and Nice 'n' Easy (1960).
Sinatra left Capitol in 1960 to start his own record label, Reprise Records, and released a string of successful albums. In 1965, he recorded the retrospective September of My Years, starred in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, and released the tracks "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way". After releasing Sinatra at the Sands, recorded at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Vegas with frequent collaborator Count Basie in early 1966, the following year he recorded one of his most famous collaborations with Tom Jobim, the album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was followed by 1968's collaboration with Duke Ellington. Sinatra retired for the first time in 1971, but came out of retirement two years later and recorded several albums and resumed performing at Caesars Palace, and reached success in 1980 with "New York, New York". Using his Las Vegas shows as a home base, he toured both within the United States and internationally until a short time before his death in 1998.
Sinatra forged a highly successful career as a film actor. After winning an Academy Award for From Here to Eternity, he starred in The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), and received critical acclaim for his performance in The Manchurian Candidate (1962). He appeared in various musicals such as On the Town (1949), Guys and Dolls (1955), High Society (1956), and Pal Joey (1957), winning another Golden Globe for the latter. Toward the end of his career, he became associated with playing detectives, including the title character in Tony Rome (1967). Sinatra would later receive the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1971. On television, The Frank Sinatra Show began on ABC in 1950, and he continued to make appearances on television throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Sinatra was also heavily involved with politics from the mid-1940s, and actively campaigned for presidents such as Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, though before Kennedy's death Sinatra's alleged Mafia connections led to his being snubbed.
While Sinatra never formally learned how to read music, he had an impressive understanding of it, and he worked very hard from a young age to improve his abilities in all aspects of music. A perfectionist, renowned for his dress sense and performing presence, he always insisted on recording live with his band. His bright blue eyes earned him the popular nickname "Ol' Blue Eyes". Sinatra led a colorful personal life, and was often involved in turbulent affairs with women, such as with his second wife Ava Gardner. He went on to marry Mia Farrow in 1966 and Barbara Marx in 1976. Sinatra had several violent confrontations, usually with journalists he felt had crossed him, or work bosses with whom he had disagreements. He was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. After his death, American music critic Robert Christgau called him "the greatest singer of the 20th century", and he continues to be seen as an iconic figure.
Sinatra died with his wife at his side at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on May 14, 1998, aged 82, after a heart attack. Sinatra had ill health during the last few years of his life, and was frequently hospitalized for heart and breathing problems, high blood pressure, pneumonia and bladder cancer. He was further diagnosed as having dementia. He had made no public appearances following a heart attack in February 1997. Sinatra's wife encouraged him to "fight" while attempts were made to stabilize him, and his final words were, "I'm losing." Sinatra's daughter, Tina, later wrote that she and her sister, Nancy, had not been notified of their father's final hospitalization, and it was her belief that "the omission was deliberate. Barbara would be the grieving widow alone at her husband's side." The night after Sinatra's death, the lights on the Empire State Building in New York City were turned blue, the lights at the Las Vegas Strip were dimmed in his honor, and the casinos stopped spinning for a minute.
Sinatra's funeral was held at the Roman Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills, California, on May 20, 1998, with 400 mourners in attendance and thousands of fans outside. Gregory Peck, Tony Bennett, and Sinatra's son, Frank Jr., addressed the mourners, who included many notable people from film and entertainment. Sinatra was buried in a blue business suit with mementos from family members—cherry-flavored Life Savers, Tootsie Rolls, a bottle of Jack Daniel's, a pack of Camel cigarettes, a Zippo lighter, stuffed toys, a dog biscuit, and a roll of dimes that he always carried—next to his parents in section B-8 of Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, California.
His close friends Jilly Rizzo and Jimmy Van Heusen are buried nearby. The words "The Best Is Yet to Come", plus "Beloved Husband & Father" are imprinted on Sinatra's grave marker. Significant increases in recording sales worldwide were reported by Billboard in the month of his death.

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
Man this is the life
And now I'm so in love!

The Government has awarded £3.85 million towards a project for Peterborough's Rhubarb Bridge.
The funding was awarded by the Department for Transport yesterday (Thursday, October 19) to the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
The bridge's future has been the centre of intense debate with campaigners desperate for it to be repaired or replaced as it comes towards the end of its life.
Peterborough City Council has already awarded a £5.5 million contract to Skanska to replace Rhubarb Bridge with a scheme which will see a series of pedestrian crossings installed at Junction 18 of the A47/A15, with extra lanes also put in for motorists.
However, following a campaign against the scheme the ruling Conservative administration has now agreed to explore all options for the bridge, including whether it can be replaced, and has committed to seeking external funding.
The council has previously said any new bridge would cost between £20 million and £30 million - which would include the new crossings - but that it would need to spend £250,000 to get an exact costing.
A spokeswoman for the combined authority said a decision on how the £3.85 million will be spent will be decided by the authority's board at a meeting on Wednesday (October 25).
The Department for Transport (DfT) has also announced it will be spend £2.8 million to provide a right turn lane onto the B1095 from the A605 which runs between Peterborough and Whittlesey.
The government department's funding is part of a £345.3 million package to improve local roads and public transport across the country.

The Fowlerville boys basketball team couldn't have dreamed of a worse start to Tuesday's game, senior Drew Vielbig going as far as to say the Gladiators felt "hopeless at times" following a brutal first quarter against South Lyon East.
And then, it suddenly couldn't have ended much better, the Gladiators closing the night predicting they wouldn't be doing much dreaming at all as they were still filled with excitement after Vielbig came up BIG with a last-second 3-pointer to clinch a 44-43 comeback victory over the Cougars.
"It's gonna be tough to sleep tonight," Gladiators coach Fred Hackett said with a laugh.
Vielbig's turnaround hurl from the right corner wasn't the play that was drawn up. Not even close. Hackett wanted it in Vielbig's or fellow senior Connor Collins' hands, but he wanted to get to the basket and go for the tie.
Fortunately for them, South Lyon East perfectly defended against that. And the Cougars actually did a solid job defending the perimeter, too. But thanks to a nifty pass from junior guard Sam MacDowell that found Vielbig open in the corner, and thanks to the senior forward's height, a night that started miserable in Fowlerville wound up being unforgettable.
"Our initial play that we drew up was to get a layup and go for the tie," Vielbig said. "The play kind of fell apart and I floated out (to the corner). Sam had a very creative pass that happened to be at the perfect time, and had it been a second later it probably would've been a block. I jumped a little bit higher on it and got the shot off.
"I knew we were running out of time and needed a shot. I feel pretty comfortable with the 3-pointer in the corner, that's one of my favorite shots. So yeah, I was happy. I was fortunate to have the last shot. I felt good about it (going in)."
The jumper swished through the net with four seconds left, and after South Lyon East missed a hurried 3 of its own at the buzzer, the Fowlerville home crowd was sent into a roar, some from the student section even charging the court.
"I've been a part of a couple of those," Hackett said. "But they never get old. They never get old. And what a difference one basket can make in how you feel about yourself and your team."
It wasn't all bad before Vielbig's 3, Hackett admitted. But the first eight minutes were brutal.
The Gladiators started off 1-for-10 from the field and trailed, 12-2, after the first quarter. Their inability to hang onto the ball and grab defensive rebounds — they were crushed on the boards in the first quarter, which was a big reason they were outshot 14-7 until three last-second desperation shots at the buzzer — seemed to be an ominous sign going forward.
But whatever happened, whatever Gladiators coach Fred Hackett said to his team in that brief intermission before the second quarter, it resonated with them. They transformed in the second from one looking primed to be run out of their own gym, to one capable of, say, capping a comeback with a last-second 3-pointer.
They started to locked down on South Lyon East's Dorian Watson, who scored 11 points and opened with the game's first five points, looking like he might single-handedly outscore the Gladiators on his own.
They also started to rebound, which was instrumental in a second quarter that saw them take 16 shots and hit seven of them — many of which came on putbacks and second-chance opportunities.
"(Hackett) talked to me and two of our other big guys about getting more boards," said Vielbig, who had 17 points. "Once that happened, it started creating more offensive possessions for us and less offensive possessions for them. That contributed to the swing."
By halftime, the Gladiators had whittled the deficit down to one. Early in the third quarter, they had their first lead of the game, the result of hitting five straight shots — including a go-ahead 3 by Collins, who scored 11 — to open the second half.
The Gladiators would take a 36-35 lead into the fourth. But by no means was it safe. Back and forth the lead went down the stretch with both sides exchanging punches.
After a turnover by Collins with less than a minute left and an ensuing foul that put Watson at the free-throw line with a chance to go up four, hope seemed lost. That might've been on of those times Vielbig meant when he said the team felt hopeless.
But after Watson's first shot of a 1-and-1 clanked off the rim, they were anything but.
Hackett called a timeout, designed something for a shot inside, South Lyon denied entry, MacDowell kicked it out to Vielbig, and the rest was unexpected history. All after what opened looking like a certain loss to anyone but the Gladiators.
"It seems like in at least half our games we have a quarter like that where we just act like we've never played offense before," Hackett said. "But we stuck with it, and I think because we had some other quarters like that throughout the season, we learned to weather the storm a little bit and trust and have confidence that things will turn around."


Build a Responsive UI with ConstraintLayout Part of Android Jetpack.
ConstraintLayout allows you to create large and complex layouts with a flat view hierarchy (no nested view groups). It's similar to RelativeLayout in that all views are laid out according to relationships between sibling views and the parent layout, but it's more flexible than RelativeLayout and easier to use with Android Studio's Layout Editor.
All the power of ConstraintLayout is available directly from the Layout Editor's visual tools, because the layout API and the Layout Editor were specially built for each other. So you can build your layout with ConstraintLayout entirely by drag-and-dropping instead of editing the XML.
ConstraintLayout is available in an API library that's compatible with Android 2.3 (API level 9) and higher. This page provides a guide to building a layout with ConstraintLayout in Android Studio 3.0 or higher. If you'd like more information about the Layout Editor itself, see the Android Studio guide to Build a UI with Layout Editor.
To see a variety of layouts you can create with ConstraintLayout, check out the Constraint Layout Examples project on GitHub.
To define a view's position in ConstraintLayout, you must add at least one horizontal and one vertical constraint for the view. Each constraint represents a connection or alignment to another view, the parent layout, or an invisible guideline. Each constraint defines the view's position along either the vertical or horizontal axis; so each view must have a minimum of one constraint for each axis, but often more are necessary.
When you drop a view into the Layout Editor, it stays where you leave it even if it has no constraints. However, this is only to make editing easier; if a view has no constraints when you run your layout on a device, it is drawn at position [0,0] (the top-left corner).
In figure 1, the layout looks good in the editor, but there's no vertical constraint on view C. When this layout draws on a device, view C horizontally aligns with the left and right edges of view A, but appears at the top of the screen because it has no vertical constraint.
Although a missing constraint won't cause a compilation error, the Layout Editor indicates missing constraints as an error in the toolbar. To view the errors and other warnings, click Show Warnings and Errors . To help you avoid missing constraints, the Layout Editor can automatically add constraints for you with the Autoconnect and infer constraints features.
In the toolbar or sync notification, click Sync Project with Gradle Files.
Now you're ready to build your layout with ConstraintLayout.
Open your layout in Android Studio and click the Design tab at the bottom of the editor window.
In the Component Tree window, right-click the layout and click Convert layout to ConstraintLayout.
In the Project window, click the module folder and then select File > New > XML > Layout XML.
Enter a name for the layout file and enter "android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout" for the Root Tag.
Drag a view from the Palette window into the editor.
When you add a view in a ConstraintLayout, it displays a bounding box with square resizing handles on each corner and circular constraint handles on each side.
Click the view to select it.
Click a constraint handle and drag it to an available anchor point (the edge of another view, the edge of the layout, or a guideline).
Click Create a connection in the view inspector at the top of the Attributes window.
When the constraint is created, the editor gives it a default margin to separate the two views.
Every view must have at least two constraints: one horizontal and one vertical.
You can create constraints only between a constraint handle and an anchor point that share the same plane. So a vertical plane (the left and right sides) of a view can be constrained only to another vertical plane; and baselines can constrain only to other baselines.
Each constraint handle can be used for just one constraint, but you can create multiple constraints (from different views) to the same anchor point.
To remove a constraint, select the view and then click the constraint handle. Or remove all the constraints by selecting the view and then clicking Delete Constraints .
If you add opposing constraints on a view, the constraint lines become squiggly like a spring to indicate the opposing forces, as shown in video 2. The effect is most visible when the view size is set to "fixed" or "wrap content," in which case the view is centered between the constraints. If you instead want the view to stretch its size to meet the constraints, switch the size to "match constraints"; or if you want to keep the current size but move the view so that it is not centered, adjust the constraint bias.
You can use constraints to achieve different types of layout behavior, as described in the following sections.
Constrain the side of a view to the corresponding edge of the layout.
In figure 4, the left side of the view is connected to the left edge of the parent layout. You can define the distance from the edge with margin.
Define the order of appearance for two views, either vertically or horizontally.
In figure 5, B is constrained to always be to the right of A, and C is constrained below A. However, these constraints do not imply alignment, so B can still move up and down.
Align the edge of a view to the same edge of another view.
In figure 6, the left side of B is aligned to the left side of A. If you want to align the view centers, create a constraint on both sides.
You can offset the alignment by dragging the view inward from the constraint. For example, figure 7 shows B with a 24dp offset alignment. The offset is defined by the constrained view's margin.
You can also select all the views you want to align, and then click Align in the toolbar to select the alignment type.
Align the text baseline of a view to the text baseline of another view.
In figure 8, the first line of B is aligned with the text in A.
To create a baseline constraint, select the text view you want to constrain and then click Edit Baseline , which appears below the view. Then click the text baseline and drag the line to another baseline.
You can add a vertical or horizontal guideline to which you can constrain views, and the guideline will be invisible to app users. You can position the guideline within the layout based on either dp units or percent, relative to the layout's edge.
To create a guideline, click Guidelines in the toolbar, and then click either Add Vertical Guideline or Add Horizontal Guideline.
Drag the dotted line to reposition it and click the circle at the edge of the guideline to toggle the measurement mode.
Similar to a guideline, a barrier is an invisible line that you can constrain views to. Except a barrier does not define its own position; instead, the barrier position moves based on the position of views contained within it. This is useful when you want to constrain a view to the a set of views rather than to one specific view.
For example, figure 10 shows view C is constrained to the right side of a barrier. The barrier is set to the "end" (or the right side in a left-to-right layout) of both view A and view B. So the barrier moves depending on whether the right side of view A or view B is is farthest right.
Click Guidelines in the toolbar, and then click Add Vertical Barrier or Add Horizontal Barrier.
In the Component Tree window, select the views you want inside the barrier and drag them into the barrier component.
Select the barrier from the Component Tree, open the Attributes window, and then set the barrierDirection.
Now you can create a constraint from another view to the barrier.
You can also constrain views that are inside the barrier to the barrier. This way, you can ensure that all views in the barrier always align to each other, even if you don't know which view will be the longest or tallest.
You can also include a guideline inside a barrier to ensure a "minimum" position for the barrier.
When you add a constraint to both sides of a view (and the view size for the same dimension is either "fixed" or "wrap content"), the view becomes centered between the two constraints with a bias of 50% by default. You can adjust the bias by dragging the bias slider in the Attributes window or by dragging the view, as shown in video 5.
If you instead want the view to stretch its size to meet the constraints, switch the size to "match constraints".
Figure 11. The Attributes window includes controls for 1 size ratio, 2 delete constraint, 3 height/width mode, 4 margins, and 5 constraint bias.
You can use the corner handles to resize a view, but this hard codes the size so the view will not resize for different content or screen sizes. To select a different sizing mode, click a view and open the Attributes window on the right side of the editor.
Near the top of the Attributes window is the view inspector, which includes controls for several layout attributes, as shown in figure 11 (this is available only for views in a constraint layout).
Fixed: You specify a specific dimension in the text box below or by resizing the view in the editor.
Wrap Content: The view expands only as much as needed to fit its contents.
spread: Expands the view as much as possible to meet the constraints on each side. This is the default behavior.
wrap: Expands the view only as much as needed to fit its contents, but still allows the view to be smaller than that if the constraints require it. So the difference between this and using Wrap Content (above), is that setting the width to Wrap Content forces the width to always exactly match the content width; whereas using Match Constraints with layout_constraintWidth_default set to wrap also allows the view to be smaller than the content width.
This takes a dp dimension for the view's minimum width.
This takes a dp dimension for the view's maximum width.
However, if the given dimension has only one constraint, then the view expands to fit its contents. Using this mode on either the height or width also allows you to set a size ratio.
Note: You cannot use match_parent for any view in a ConstraintLayout. Instead use "match constraints" (0dp).
Figure 12. The view is set to a 16:9 aspect with the width based on a ratio of the height.
You can set the view size to a ratio such as 16:9 if at least one of the view dimensions is set to "match constraints" (0dp). To enable the ratio, click Toggle Aspect Ratio Constraint (callout 1 in figure 11), and then enter the width:height ratio in the input that appears.
If both the width and height are set to match constraints, you can click Toggle Aspect Ratio Constraint to select which dimension is based on a ratio of the other. The view inspector indicates which is set as a ratio by connecting the corresponding edges with a solid line.
For example, if you set both sides to "match constraints", click Toggle Aspect Ratio Constraint twice to set the width be a ratio of the height. Now the entire size is dictated by the height of the view (which can be defined in any way) as shown in figure 12.
To ensure that all your views are evenly spaced, click Margin in the toolbar to select the default margin for each view that you add to the layout. Any change you make to the default margin applies only to the views you add from then on.
You can control the margin for each view in the Attributes window by clicking the number on the line that represents each constraint (in figure 11, callout 4 shows the bottom margin is set to 24dp).
Figure 13. The toolbar's Margin button.
All margins offered by the tool are factors of 8dp to help your views align to Material Design's 8dp square grid recommendations.
A chain is a group of views that are linked to each other with bi-directional position constraints. The views within a chain can be distributed either vertically or horizontally.
Spread: The views are evenly distributed (after margins are accounted for). This is the default.
Spread inside: The first and last view are affixed to the constraints on each end of the chain and the rest are evenly distributed.
Weighted: When the chain is set to either spread or spread inside, you can fill the remaining space by setting one or more views to "match constraints" (0dp). By default, the space is evenly distributed between each view that's set to "match constraints," but you can assign a weight of importance to each view using the layout_constraintHorizontal_weight and layout_constraintVertical_weight attributes. If you're familiar with layout_weight in a linear layout, this works the same way. So the view with the highest weight value gets the most amount of space; views that have the same weight get the same amount of space.
Packed: The views are packed together (after margins are accounted for). You can then adjust the whole chain's bias (left/right or up/down) by changing the chain's head view bias.
The chain's "head" view (the left-most view in a horizontal chain and the top-most view in a vertical chain) defines the chain's style in XML. However, you can toggle between spread, spread inside, and packed by selecting any view in the chain and then clicking the chain button that appears below the view.
A view can be a part of both a horizontal and a vertical chain, making it easy to build flexible grid layouts.
A chain works properly only if each end of the chain is constrained to another object on the same axis, as shown in figure 14.
Although the orientation of a chain is either vertical or horizontal, using one does not align the views in that direction. So be sure you include other constraints to achieve the proper position for each view in the chain, such as alignment constraints.
Instead of adding constraints to every view as you place them in the layout, you can move each view into the positions you desire, and then click Infer Constraints to automatically create constraints.
Infer Constraints scans the layout to determine the most effective set of constraints for all views. It makes a best effort to constrain the views to their current positions while allowing flexibility. You might need to make some adjustments to be sure the layout responds as you intend for different screen sizes and orientations.
Autoconnect is a separate feature that is either on or off. When turned on, it automatically creates two or more constraints for each view as you add them to the layout, but only when appropriate to constrain the view to the parent layout. Autoconnect does not create constraints to other views in the layout.
Autoconnect is disabled by default. You can enable it by clicking Turn on Autoconnect in the Layout Editor toolbar.
Within a ConstraintLayout, you can animate changes to the size and position of elements by using ConstraintSet and TransitionManager.
Note: TransitionManager is available in the Support Library for Android 4.0 (API level 14) or higher.
A ConstraintSet is a lightweight object that represents the constraints, margins, and padding of all child elements within a ConstraintLayout. When you apply a ConstraintSet to a displayed ConstraintLayout, the layout updates the constraints of all of its children.
To build an animation using ConstraintSets, specify two layout files which act as a start and end keyframe for the animation. You can then load a ConstraintSet from the second keyframe file and apply it to the displayed ConstraintLayout.
Important: ConstraintSet animations animate only the size and position of child elements. They do not animate other attributes (such as color).
The code example below shows how to animate moving a single button to the bottom of the screen.
ConstraintLayout is used in the Sunflower demo app.


You have great hygiene. You put on nice clothing. You color your hair.
You do all of these things without thinking twice. Yet, when it comes to fueling your body and giving it exactly what it needs, it's the last thing that comes to mind. And it's not even a priority.
Yet it consumes your thoughts, daily.
I want you to imagine what it would be like to completely transform your way of planning, prepping, cooking and eating in 3 months.
Imagine knowing exactly what it would mean to eat healthfully but even more importantly exactly HOW to make it happen. And without stress or drama. You just do it.
Imagine being excited to wake up and start your day because you feel so darn good.
These are the REAL results you will see.
Healthy Eating Done Right is a 3 month program that will teach you the skills necessary to create a life where healthy eating becomes second nature, NOT a second job!
Yes – life gets in the way. It does for everyone. But this does not (and should not) mean healthy eating is off the table. By following a plan formulated just for you based on your needs and lifestyle, and by reinforcing your new healthy habits for 3 months with me by your side, healthy eating will become second nature, no matter how busy you are.
Ask yourself these questions… And think about your answers.
Do you struggle with what to eat on any given day?
Do you find it stressful to eat out because it's so hard to be 'good'?
Are you the type of person who starts out the day eating healthfully, but loses it by 3:00 P.M.?
Now imagine knowing exactly what you are going to eat at all times. Imagine starting your day by nourishing your body with tons of vitamins and nutrients. Imagine knowing exactly what to snack on and what to eat for lunch. Imagine not craving that cup of coffee at 4:00. Imagine having a plan for dinner EVERY night. And of course, imagine that all (OK, most) of the food you put into your body will nourish you, not bring you down.
That is what it feels like to live a life where eating healthfully is second nature.
And it feels good. REALLY good.
It can start today and I want to show you how.
You in? You ready to finally get it??
What exactly is Healthy Eating Done Right?
It's 3 months of working together to help you reach your optimal health and wellness.
It's 3 months of learning & reinforcing new healthy eating habits.
It's 3 months of following a plan customized to fit your personal needs.
It's 3 months of understanding how to seamlessly incorporate healthy eating into your busy life.
How will this all happen?
with personalized action items to be accomplished between sessions.
Transforming your way of eating is not about dieting. It's not about deprivation. It's not about following a strict regimen of what you can and can't eat. It's not about losing a few pounds and then gaining them right back when the program is over.
This program is for you if you are not happy with how you look and/or feel and want to do something about it. But it's also for you if you feel your diet is lacking nutritionally and you want to learn how to upgrade it for the long haul. Lastly, this program is for anyone who wants to improve their family's diet. Because children are the best imitators and you want to have eating habits worthy of imitation.
I know the ins and outs of eating healthfully. So why do I need this program.
Your knowledge of healthy eating is irrelevant. You can know every single thing there is to know about good nutrition but if you're not actually doing it, if it's not SECOND NATURE to you, then the knowledge itself isn't cutting it. You need more.
What if I still am not sure if this is for me?
Then let's talk. Let me answer your questions. Let's get to know each other a bit, and let's see if we are a good fit. You can reach me at laura@instillhealth.com.
What can I expect to feel when the program is over?
You can expect to feel cleansed, full of energy but most of all, EMPOWERED!
What do I get or how is this going to help me?
Over the course of this 3 month program, I will be committed to helping support you through your journey through coaching via phone and email. You'll receive 8 coaching sessions over the course of 3 months with guided personalized action items, new delicious recipes to taste, and other resources to ensure you have the support you need.
What if I am not satisfied when the 3 months are over?
I am so confident in this program that if you are not satisfied when the 3 months are over, I will provide you with a full refund. My one requirement is that you ONLY ask for a refund if you can honestly say that you put 100% of your effort into the program by turning in all of your homework and are STILL not satisfied. Bottom line – this program only works for people who are truly committed to change. If you dedicate yourself to the program and give it your all, I have no doubt the program will exceed your expectations!
Email me so we can set up a time to talk. We'll discuss what you see for yourself and I'll help you create a plan that will deliver. This isn't about new years resolutions or dieting. This is about creating daily fuel, daily wins, and feeling amazing while doing so.
This is about looking at every day as an opportunity to nourish your body and brain with nutrients. Stop turning to your caffeine that isn't getting the job done.
And while we're on the subject of everyday, how are you fueling your family? And their bodies? As the CEO of your home, they follow your lead. Now is the time to begin setting that example. Lead your family into good health. Not into bad habits.

Home Technology EV Trump Tariff War May Block Polestar 2 From U.S.
Trump Tariff War May Block Polestar 2 From U.S.
There's still hope, however.
***UPDATE: Polestar has issued a statement to clarify that the announced $63,000 price for the Launch Edition takes the current tariff into account. Its U.S. sales plan remain in effect. This detail was in our story already, but we've added the complete statement from the company at the bottom of the post.
When the Polestar 2 launched last week, it was quite clear that it would be sold in the U.S. There was a U.S. price ($63,000 for the high-spec Launch Edition), it was noted that the trick pixel LED headlights would not be available here because they the don't conform to our outdated codes, and our country was mentioned as one of the regions a promotional tour would pass through. Now comes news of a possible problem with that plan.
According to the Financial Times, there is a chance the Tesla Model 3 competitor won't make it to our shores at all. Polestar, you see, is a subbrand of Volvo which, in turn, is owned by Geely Though the new brand is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, its car manufacturing site is in China. As you may be aware, the U.S. government, at the direction of President Trump, has put a number of tariffs in place for on goods coming from that country. These, then, raise the price of goods manufactured there and sold on these shores. Worries about an escalation of this trade war — there have been tit-for-tat tariffs from China — have raised the possibility of a strategy change.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said the current price tag includes the 27.5-percent penalty for Chinese-built vehicles, and explained the situation thusly:
The business case for bringing the car to the US is highly dependent on the type of tariffs we have. It wouldn't make sense to offer the car for a ridiculous price.
The tariffs are not permanent, of course, and there have been a number of changes to them as the two countries continue trade-centered talks. Meant to reduce a large trade deficit, new numbers just released seem to suggest the measures have been ineffective as that metric has gotten worse over the past two years.
It remains to be seen whether this new information will cause a tariff re-think anytime soon. Still, there is time for the things to change before the car's original U.S. delivery timeframe of July 2020. There is even a chance the existing penalties could be reduced or removed, which would help Polestar better position its offerings in our market. Fingers crossed that this is the way forward.
