Off Script: Inside James Maddison's life – dealing with fame, cricket, MNF and more | Football News
By Kyle October 2, 2019 No Comments
In the latest Off Script, Leicester's James Maddison talks openly about dealing with fame, his love for cricket, how he dreads the highlight circle on MNF and having to wash Steven Pressley's car
In a special edition of Off Script, James Maddison opens up about dealing with fame, his love for cricket, how he dreads the highlight circle on MNF and having to wash Steven Pressley's car. Daily Week Sports' Patrick Davison has a laid back chat with Leicester's man of the moment…
'Show me a good loser, I'll show you a loser'
Maddison scored the late winner in Leicester's 2-1 victory over Tottenham last month, and his self-belief is clear for all to see. He insists it is confidence, not arrogance, and puts his attitude down to his parents' influence.
I love the quote: 'If you show me a good loser, I'll show you a loser.' There's no such thing as a good loser really, is there? I'm a bad loser, because I love winning.
Maddison's self-confidence is clear to see
I'd never want to come across as arrogant. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. I think if I got on the wrong side, for starters my mum would give me a clip on the ear. That's not the values I stand for. I always talk about self-belief and confidence, because nobody is going to believe in you for you, you have to believe in yourself for starters, and I've always done that. I've always been someone to showcase my ability and talent.
I always like to think I'm a down to earth, humble person because that's how my parents have raised me. They tell me they're proud of me, every now and again, so I must be doing something right!
It doesn't matter if you can score a hat-trick on a Tuesday night in a cup game against 4,000 people, it's that final with the world watching, everyone's eyes are on you
Me and my Dad have a very close relationship, where we talk about football all of the time. After a game, we'll sit and always debrief the game, sometimes watch it back together. We actually do. He'll say: "Do you reckon you could have done this here?" and I'll say: "No, why would I have done that?!" My Mum is more precious towards me! I'm so lucky and grateful to have a family that gave me the opportunity to do this.
I don't think I'd be scoring winners in the Premier League, with them watching me, without their dedication. Like helping me to travel to Cardiff away on a Sunday morning with Coventry because there was no mini-bus travel. Things like that. I never will, but it's important you never forget that.
Maddison playing for Coventry as a 16-year-old
Am I a big-moment player? Yeah, definitely. To be a top player you've got to produce big moments in big games, when the most people are watching. It doesn't matter if you can score a hat-trick on a Tuesday night in a cup game in front of 4,000 people, it's that final with the world watching, everyone's eyes are on you. That's where you become a big player.
It's that drive within. Listen, I've scored one winning goal, it's not like I've had a summer of Ben Stokes' proportions, but it's just about wanting to win. I've always had that. I've got that. I've always been a winner.
'Washing Pressley's car did me good'
Maddison was brought into the Coventry side by Steven Pressley at the age of 16, making his debut in 2014. He then moved on to Norwich, and had a loan spell at Aberdeen, but puts a lot of his success down to the Scot taking a chance on him.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was called in to play with the firsts. I had just turned 16 at the time, and I remember thinking: "This is an opportunity here." I had a wise head on my shoulders at the time – or at least I think I did! – so I went and demanded the ball off the players. Not everything worked, I probably got barged off the ball a few times, but I think I showed Steven Pressley what I was about. The confidence and the willingness to show him I was a good player.
Steven Pressley brought Maddison through at Coventry
During my time at Cov, I ended up cleaning his car. I think we did a hydration test every morning. You go and pee in a pot, and it gets tested just to make sure you're staying on top of your fluids, and I think I may have forgot to do mine.
He said: "James, I need a word." My lip started going. He said: "These are the standards that you've got to set, you've got to be on it every day." It was a very good learning curve for me. I was out there for an hour and a half washing his car because of it. He came down and checked halfway through, and I think he said: "That's not clean enough, on the bonnet" and I'm thinking: "I just did 45 minutes on the bonnet!" It was all good, and part of my development.
'My job, in detail'
Maddison usually sits as a No 10 with Leicester, but he explains that it can often turn into a No 8, with great discipline required. He ranks Jorginho and Harry Winks as being among the most difficult midfielders he has played against in the Premier League.
If I'm playing as a No 8, my job is to create and score goals, but also be able to help in the build-up. A No 10 is playing in-between the lines, but sometimes as a No 8 you have to help out with the build-up as well, because sometimes there is only one pivot player in midfield. Sometimes the other No 8 goes up, and you drop down, but I'm comfortable doing that. As a No 8 there is more demand on the out-of-possession stuff, like sliding, stopping passes through.
The Premier League is the best league in the world, there's no doubt about it. If you're not sliding across quick enough to shut those passing lines, the type of players in those positions will just play it through.
Maddison explains how his role can often turn from a No 10 to a No 8
Who's the best at getting it through? Jorginho is very good at it. He's a very good footballer. I know last year he got a bit of stick here and there, but he is very good. Harry Winks is another good example, a very good passer of the ball. The job against Spurs was to get into a narrow three, force it wide, and stop the danger players getting it through the lines. Even then, when we were doing that quite well against Spurs, Harry Winks could get it through, with a quick two-touch wrap pass.
That's the quality of opposition we play against. There isn't a moment where you can switch off and not do your defensive duties, because you get punished, and every camera is on you.
'I love MNF… unless I get the circle around me!'
There's no hiding place, because when it comes to Monday Night Football, both Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville are sat there pointing you out, with a circle around you, and in slo-mo!
There was a game against Liverpool last year, and I was one of the blockers from a defensive corner. Firmino got a run on me, I tried to block him and he ended up heading it in. I think there was a ring around me on that MNF. I think I turned that one off and put the news on instead!
James Maddison on MNF
I always watch it, I love football. I always watch football, and MNF is the perfect example. When they go through the games, analyse the goals, that's the perfect time for me. My Dad and I sit down and talk about it, that's the game and why we love it!
Stokes' heroics show self-belief
Maddison is a keen cricket fan, and believes Ben Stokes' heroics throughout the summer show the self-belief and calmness he has under pressure, something he believes transfers to football.
I would always watch cricket when I was younger, both T20 and the Tests. Me and Chilly [Ben Chilwell] were in the canteen for hours the other week watching the Ashes.
I remember the 2005 Ashes, I was eight or nine. And in 2009 when Andrew Flintoff stood there with his arms outstretched. That stood out for me, and then through that Graeme Swann, Kevin Pietersen era, I would watch it all of the time.
Ben Stokes' summer heroics left a mark on Maddison
What a summer Ben Stokes had! Heroics. I sat there watching with my mouth wide open, couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's self-belief. He barely even acknowledged his 50 at Headingley. He got on with business because he knew he had a job to do. It's similar in football. The self-belief and courage he showed, but also staying calm in himself, because you can feel that confidence in yourself and start lashing at things.
It's similar to football, if you get a big chance at the end of the game that you've put everything into, it's about staying cool and finishing it.
'Fame can be difficult'
Now instantly recognisable in the public, the 22-year-old admits fame can be hard to deal with, but understands it from both sides.
It can be difficult, and that's the side that some people don't necessarily see.
We went for dinner the other day in London, and sometimes we get asked for pictures. That's fine, I'll never, ever say no. I was with Chilly. I'm always up for that because I'd be the same; if I saw Ed Sheeran I'd ask him for a picture! So we're mid-dinner, and I've got spaghetti Bolognese all over my face. Someone comes up and asks for a picture, without using manners, which is fine because sometimes you forget your manners if you see someone you want a picture with. I said: "OK, but can I just finish my dinner."
Maddison received his first call up to the England senior team in October 2018
He said: "I've gotta shoot, can we do it now?" It just didn't sit well with me. Whether you're speaking to a waiter, whoever, speak with manners or respect.
If I wanted to go and get a quiet coffee in town now, I couldn't, because I'd get recognised. But that's something you deal with. You can never just switch off in public. You're always watched, and someone always has a phone! That's why I always do my barnet! It is what it is.
We socialise a lot as a team. We play a lot of mini golf, 18 holes and the loser pays for dinner, so Chilly usually pays.

Oslo Kino
Oslo Kino AS
Joint stock company
Geir Bergkastet (CEO)
www.oslokino.no
Oslo Kino is a Norwegian cinema company, based in Oslo.
Its creation was agreed to by the city authorities of Oslo in 1925, and the company was inaugurated on 1 January 1926 as Oslo Kinematografer.[1] It was a part of the Norwegian system of municipal-owned cinemas, superseding private ownership in the field. Only the Conservative Party and the Liberal Left Party voted against municipalization.[2] These parties subsequently attempted to privatize cinemas in the years after 1926, but failed.[3] An important motivation for municipal ownership was the surplus from the budget, which could be used for other cultural budget posts. Oslo Concert Hall, Folketeatret, Gustav Vigeland's atelier (later the Vigeland Museum) and the Munch Museum received monetary support from the cinema fund.[1]
In 1997 the company was turned into a joint stock company.[1] Between 2001 and 2003 the city council of Oslo tried to orchestrate a sale of 66% of the company shares, but this did not happen. No bidder came close to the excpected prize, and the sale thus fell through.[4] The name was changed from Oslo Kinematografer to Oslo Kino in 2007.[5]
The early directors were Jens Christian Gundersen (1926-1933) and Kristoffer Aamot (1934-1940). During the German occupation of Norway the company had three Nazi collaborators as directors: Gustav Berg-Jæger (1940-1942), Einar Schibbye (1942-1944) and Birger Ilseng (1944-1945). Kristoffer Aamot then recovered his job, and sat until 1955. Theodor Rosenquist followed (1955-1958), then Arnljot Engh (1958-1975), Eivind Hjelmtveit (1975-1993), Ingeborg Moræus Hanssen (1993-2005), Cecilie Trøan (acting, 2005-2006) and Geir Bergkastet (2006-present).[5]
Pre-war chairs of the board of directors were Arthur Skjeldrup (1926-1928), Kristoffer Aamot (1929-1931), Eyvind Getz (1932-1934) and Rachel Grepp (1935-1940). The chairpersons during the German occupation of Norway are not known. After the war, Rolf Hofmo sat from 1946 to 1955, then Rolf Stranger (1956-1967), Albert Nordengen (1968-1971), Adele Lerche (1972-1975), Turid Dankertsen (1976-1979), Albert Nordengen again (1980-1983), Bjørn Bjørnseth (1984-1987), Jon Lyng (1988-1991), Christian Hambro (1992), Theo Koritzinsky (1993-1995), Jon Lyng again (1996-2003) and Heidi Larssen (2003-present).[5] It is worth noting that several directors and chairs were also politicians for the Conservative Party, the party which initially opposed a municipal cinema company.

If you're planning to build a new commercial building, one of the things you'll need to consider is the type of roof you'll have installed. Since your company deals with the public, you want a roof that has an attractive appearance, but you also want one that requires little maintenance. Metal roofing is an excellent option. Here are a few reasons why metal is a good choice in commercial roofing.
Metal roofing is suitable for all types of building architecture, even for buildings that have low slopes. Asphalt, which is another popular roofing type, cannot be used on low-slope roofs because water will form puddles on the roof and flow under the shingles. Metal roofs are usually applied in long sheets that are seamed together so water cannot leak through. Metal is an ideal roofing material if your commercial building has a combination roof like that found on strip malls that is nearly flat in places and peaks in others.
Metal roofing can withstand strong winds, hail, rain, UV exposure, and temperature extremes. Since typical storms and exposure to the sun won't cause damage to the roof, that means you won't have to make many repairs over its lifespan. When you're selecting the metal material for your roof, be sure to notice the ratings supplied by the manufacturer. The ratings indicate how well the metal resists damage by hail and wind, so you can buy a product that matches your climate.
Metal is also fire resistant, and this provides an element of security to your commercial building. Insects and pests have no interest in chewing metal, so the panels won't deteriorate over time. Metal roofing is also treated during the manufacturing process to be rust resistant. All these qualities combine to make metal one of the most durable roofing materials you can choose for your building.
Metal roofing comes in a variety of colors, so you can choose a blue, green, or red roof for your building if you want. The color is baked on the metal, so you don't have to worry about it peeling off, and you'll never have to repaint the roof. Some types of paint even reflect UV rays, so they help reduce energy costs for cooling your building. Plus, the UV protection helps prevent color fading over the years. Once you install the metal roof, you probably won't have to do any maintenance or repairs on it unless it is vandalized or an unusually strong storm rolls through your area.
A metal roof can give your building an upscale appearance so it is attractive to customers and clients. Since it is available in different colors, it doesn't have an industrial look and it is much less labor intensive than maintaining asphalt shingles. For these reasons, when it's time for you to choose your commercial roofing, metal is worth considering. Contact a local roofer, like Bell Roof Co, for more information.

What is the difference between eczema and hives?
Hives and eczema are two skin conditions which often get confused. Being a parent we are confronted by many different challenges. Children's skin can be affected by different types of conditions and some of them can look very similar. As allergies and immune system irregularities become more and more common many of us will also need to manage how the skin responds to allergens as part of our childrens body's immune response.

On this particular sunny day, I was yearning to dress for fall. Thus, I was feeling a tad bit uninspired. I scrolled through my Instagram saves and decided on this breathable look by Oanhdaqueen. Her style is very present day and once in a while she'll rock a saucy feminist top : ) After having a gander in my closet, I saw that I had all the necessary pieces except for a fitted denim skirt. Thankfully, Goodwill had my back and I was able to complete the look for under five bucks. I tried making things my own by adding small pigtails and going for an oversized belt. Oanh killed it with her scrunchy tube top, but I was unable to find a similar one at the thrift store.


Get Revising - Discussions - Music Technology - AS Music Technology?
Home > Discussions > Music Technology > AS Music Technology?
I'm starting college om September, and I am thinking of chosing AS Music Technology (along with English Literature, Geography, History). Is Music Technology hard, is it fun?
It depends what kind of teacher you get. Ours just left us to work out everything for ourselves, which made things quite difficult. But i think it would be a lot easier if you have a teacher who knows what they are doing.
Also take notes about the theory and stuff because there are not very many revision guides that can help you as the course is still quite new.
All in all though i have found the course quite enjoyable. Top Tip though - get all your coursework done and out of the way as soon as possible!
I agree with Lottie; It's a really fun and interesting course, but it's seriously hard work because a) it's very heavily coursework based and b) there are pretty much no revision materials.
I'm also in the same boat with BOTH my teachers. One of them only gives me any help now because I complained to my head of year and the other one is never in my lessons and neither seem to actually know what they're doing! But I do think with decent teachers it could be an AMAZING subject! Good luck!


FreeGeek Vancouver, a volunteer-driven community computer recycling + technology outreach organization, needed a new support ticketing system + upgrade of their existing open source Wiki Software.
Being a not-for-profit organization means FreeGeek utilizes FOSS (free & open source software) to its full extent, and therefore operates almost entirely on Ubuntu Linux.
While working with non-profits can present unique challenges, Joel saw an opportunity to expand his Linux skillset and give back to the community at the same time.
Tasks included planning, backing up the existing database + software configurations, writing Puppet modules to handle deployment + configuration management, connecting new software instances, and making sure the new configuration was secured against external threats.
The collaborative effort between Joel and FreeGeek's sysadmin resulted in completion of the upgrades quickly and seamlessly.
In addition, Joel continues to support FreeGeek through teaching and providing technical support to members of the community during scheduled outreach events.

His captors left him scarred with unrelenting nightmares, visions and new unstable and largely unexplainable powers such as time manipulation and telekinesis.
Drifting between reality and hallucinogenic states, Ian must make sense of the world around him as he sets out on a path of revenge and discovery, uncertain of what awaits around the next corner.
"We've been delighted with the positive response to Past Cure from gamers around the world, and we're excited to finally see people playing what has been our passion to create for the last two years," said Simon Gerdesmann, Phantom 8's Managing Director.
Phantom 8's debut title comes from an eight-man team and is available from both JB Hi-Fi and EB Games for PS4 and Xbox One.


I have had male and female roommates here, and various nationalities. If you are involved in community improvement, Id like to be supportive by sharing my home, which is fully furnished. No smoking or pets on the property. Just 5-10 minutes from the SLU campus and the Wash.U. Med Center, near Tower Grove Park, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and just a walk from 15 great South Grand international restaurants! I know St. Louis well, in case you are new.

The toolbox includes classes to represent the important types of geospatial data, including "vector" points, lines and polygons, and spatially-referenced images, digital terrain elevation grids, and other gridded data sets. These classes help keep all the information for a given data set together in one place, ensuring self-consistency and ease of access. The toolbox also includes functions to operate on and analyze these data sets. These functions provide data transformation and analysis, ranging from buffer zones around lines and polygons, to profile, line-of-sight, and viewshed analyses of terrain elevation grids.


Can you feel the excitement!!???
I realized that I never really posted some "after" pictures of the whole kitchen remodel. So I thought I would post some pictures of our finished Kitchen Concrete Counter Tops for you today.
We will need to re-seal them every 18 – 24 months but it's a pretty simple process.. when we remember to order the seal ( Ryan: since you are reading this, can this count as a reminder to order that? 🙂 ) And that's all the maintenance these counter tops require.
Anyways, the other day I cleared the counters and snapped a few pictures so I can share them with you!
to think this use to be my kitchen….
some fun in process pics….
Now for the photos you've all been waiting for…..
Want to see more of the remodel?
I posted about it all as it was happening here!
Are you prepping for a kitchen remodel? Considering concrete counter tops here's what we did.
When most people heard that I wanted to do wall paper in part of my new kitchen they questioned my interior design capabilities! haha and while I don't know how skilled at all this I am, I will say that if you haven't looked at wall paper in a while you might be surprised!
My design plan was for one partial wall, as sort of accent wall. We don't have a lot of busy accents in our space, and lot of mellow grey and white. So I wanted something of a pop and perhaps help soften the more industrial features we were adding to the room! I found so many fun wall paper samples with graphics, words, photos, etc. The one I picked is even washable and pre-pasted!
A few of my favorite things.. in my FULLY FUNCTIONING KITCHEN!!!
Look at this kitchen! I am in love!
Let's take a look at some of the awesome new details!!
This beautiful sink we bought at Lowes is gorgeous! I knew from the start that I wanted a farmhouse (also known as apron front) style and I'm so glad I went with a giant one basin one!!
Its a Waste King, and apparently it's able to chop up anything you throw at it.. including bones!!??
The day has finally arrived! I am soooo excited as we get ready for this huge day for the kitchen project! For this day we asked for a few more friends to help! We ended up with 5 guys for the concrete. And I think that was the perfect amount. And Tiffani and I were there for whatever we could help with! We rented a mixer from Home Depot and got to work!
We already had our formula for the color figured out. So the guys just had to follow it for each batch. I will say we had a few issues with consistency in the batches of cement. All of the blogs and youtube videos will say you want the concrete to be pretty think and that is true. But there seems to be a happy medium where it also needs to not be to dry! All in all most of the batches came out pretty well and with my Father in law and Jonathan at the finishing trowels it came out beautiful!
We are in the midst of the preparations this week!!!
The count down to countertops has begun and we are super motivated and excited!
We have not been short of projects that need to get done before we can pour the concrete countertops!
Bracing (permanent and temporary) were fitted.
We had to make final decisions on how far we wanted the countertop to come out and how round of a bullnose we wanted at the end!
The guys set the sink in its place once more to be sure everything was fitting just right!
Holes have been cut for the cook top and faucet!
And then came the framing!!! Took the guys nearly all day to frame up and finish preparations for the concrete!
It has been way to long! One of the main fears I had when starting this blog is that life would just get busy and I wouldn't be able to keep up! 🙁 But, I'm still here!
We are 8 weeks pregnant as I type this, and Sickness and exhaustion is a daily battle at this point! My headaches have been pretty bad, but this week seems to be a little break from them! It has been hard to even think about looking at my computer screen and was a main reason why I haven't posted!
So, let's see what's happened….
We made it to the beach! And even tho it was over cast, we had a great family day! The boys loved digging in the sand!
I loved our new shade tent we bought on Amazon!
Then Friday kicked off the Valley Home Educators convention. This was my first year attending and I can see why so many home school families put it in their schedule every year. The first day, Though a little overwhelming was so encouraging! I sat in a couple of seminars about the charlotte Mason method of teaching. I'm pretty sure it confirmed that should be the direction we head for William. It allows for a lot of creative reading and exploring the world around us as we learn!
The pretty little things are getting me pretty excited!
There are some pretty little touches getting done in DIY Kitchen remodel right now and they make a huge wonderful difference!
First, these lights were hung in place. This is the counter that will have my sink and dishwasher.. also, there will be a bar edge on the other side with stools for sitting up at the counter!
I found these lights at Home Depot! And we added the specialty light bulbs for the antique look! I think they are exactly what I hoped for!
Little things like trim make such a huge difference!
The Fridge and pantry cupboards were moved into place and I was able to even move stuff in! So that really helps having more items in the kitchen instead of spread through-out the house!
Eventually, the plan is to get a nice big fridge and then above it between the two tall cabinets we'll do a couple of open shelves!
We are still plugging along. We are cooking with our new oven quite a bit despite the heat. And of course still over using our crock pot and bbq.
But we are doing fine and with amazing results like these how could we not be excited??
This is how the boys stayed busy while the guys were working! Rolling cars down the driveway!
Also, our family has a little announcement!!!
We are so very excited to be expecting our third little blessing! It's amazing!!
I hope you are enjoying our DIY kitchen remodel updates! Are you dreaming/planning for a remodel??
One of the fun little projects that I've been able to accomplish during the giant kitchen project is revamping my spices! They will be going into a nice big drawer.. much better then the previous basket organization I had! trust me on that one!!
I bought racks from Ikea when we picked up the cabinets.. Amazon has some similar styles. But there are so many great ideas for spice racks and organization.
In this picture you can see I printed my labels on regular paper to test them out.
I wanted to check the size and which way I wanted to place them on each jar… I also printed out a couple other label samples to pick from but ended up with these!
The jars I decided on were from Cost Plus World Market, But, again there are soooo many to choose from!
These labels feed into your printer just like paper.
peel off the back paper to reveal the sticky side.
are printing more than one page so that it doesn't smear each other.
William helped me fill the jars! It was a fun little project for us to work on together!
There are lots of label options as well.. many pinterest finds were great.
These fun labels here or here were some of the many I thought about using.
But Ultimately, I decided to just create my own with a fun font in Word. I thought this might help when I want to add more later!
I think I'm going to love these when I can put them in the new drawer!!
And apparently I have way more spices than I realized. I started with 21 jars.
Have you reorganized your spices? What do you love about it?

Cleaning the oven…. yeah that chore is certainly one of my very least favorite household tasks! But, now that I have an awesome new oven I knew I needed to find something that can help with keeping it beautiful!
I found these handy liners on Amazon!
I wanted something to help with keeping our new oven clean and I have to say that I like the way these look and fit. Plus clean up is soooo much easier this way!
The bottom one fit exactly. And the one I wanted on the rack just needed a trim, I also cut a little bit more into where the handle on the rack is! These were easy to trip with just scissors!
This Kitchen Is Beginning To Look Like a …. Kitchen!!
This week has been a full one and very exciting for the kitchen project!!
It began with prep prep prep! 🙂 Covering the new floors with paper, patching up some more holes, etc.
sidenote: I'm leaving it like this as long as I can! protecting these floors during construction is no joke!
The walls were textured (thank you to my Father in Law for doing a great job!) on Tuesday afternoon.
The girls flew into action on Wednesday night for painting the ceiling and walls! Want to see?
I love the dark color and I think we get away with it because it's only in a few spots and everything else will be a calm color/feel. It's also high gloss. The benefits to this is it will be easily cleaned and it also gives a great shine to it! We also painted the drop ceiling a new white color.. I don't remember which white.. there are far to many options for white!!
We decided to wire the oven and get that in, in hopes of allowing me something to cook in! The cabinet for the oven/microwave was a bit to big for me, so the guys had to assemble that one. It's beautiful, seriously!! And I'm super glad Ryan insisted on the Microwave we found at Ikea's as-is department. It was just a display model, but they took 45% off of the price! The oven and microwave together just has such a sleek look! very fancy!
It was a really fun surprise when I came home from picking the boys up to see the progress the guys made while I was gone!! check this out!!
This center cabinet will hold my cooktop. Between the wall cabinets will be where the hood is! and that whole wall will be the backsplash that I am soooo excited about!
I really like how much the molding at the top of the wall cabinets adds just a little finishing touch! There will be molding at the bottom edge of them too!
I felt like celebrating the progress so I ran out and bought an apple pie and some ice cream! So, we baked a pie in our brand new oven!! * A note on that.. our manual didn't say anything about it, but if you get a new oven I suggest turning it on empty at first, there was a lot of smoke and burn off from the factory dust or whatever.. didn't smell very good at first!
I think we were all feeling pretty good about how the hard work is turning out!
And before calling it a day we got one of the pendant lights up! It's gorgeous!
These Home Depot lights look like the ones I fell in love with at pottery barn! but instead of costing over $100 a piece they were $30.00.
We bought the old-fashioned styled light bulbs at Battery plus and I think it adds a great little touch to them!
I think it's turning out beautifully! I'm excited to be able to bake some dinners now and give our crockpot and bbq a little bit of a break! And the plan is to work on the sink soon so that's super exciting!!
Well, what do you all think of it all so far? Are you able to see the vision? It feels like it is actually working, we may even get a kitchen out of all this! hahaha Yes!!


We have a wonderful natural environment to enjoy, right on our doorsteps!

It seems Hawaii-based FirePro Graphics will finally make its début on the stage of professional graphics. With casual browsing on AMD's investor relations webpage, interesting things did immediately meet with the eyes.
Obviously, it's not AMD's first attempt at live streaming launch events for the introduction of new GPU products, the same happened with "Hawaii" (also known as the Radeon R9 290X) in September last year. However, it would be the first time for them to admit that in their investor relations webpage. Remember, investor relations can't lie.
While apparently, the "AMD FirePro Hawaii Launch" would only be an internal name, and so they have quickly made a correction, "AMD Professional Graphics Showcase". And they have just made an announcement of the event too.

The Peninsula9 min read
16 March, 2016 0 comment
Several years ago, William Tham returned to Malaysia for the summer, only to find himself suffering a fit of restlessness. He boarded a morning train to the south, leaving the capital of Kuala Lumpur behind for the sleepy towns of the south, the north, and the interior of the Malaysian peninsula. This is an excerpt from his travelogue.
My first stop on my around-the-peninsula journey was Kajang. I left the Old KL station, on the banks of the Gombak, and a late Komuter dropped me off in Kajang, where I would spend the night in the guest room at the house owned by my aunt and uncle with their old-school British-style accents. Together with a few friends we munched on sate at Restoran Malaya in the old town, before venturing out to the foothills of Broga in a 4-wheel drive. Hallway up the hike a middle–aged man, looking just like the ones in coffee-shops sipping black coffee and fried crullers, came hobbling down. "Yau chak lo!" he yelled. I did not understand but I soon got the gist of the story-there were two robbers armed with a parang who had ambushed him, ready to waylay hikers at the summit. The man had declined an offer to get a lift back to town as he frantically flagged down other hikers, warning them of the thieves on the hilltop, before driving himself to the nearest police station.
Our attempt on Broga thwarted, we ventured instead to Sak Na Tuk temple, dominating the hill with its magnificent architecture, slightly offset by the grandiose statue of the Monkey King that loomed over the valley. There in the state of Negeri Sembilan, we posed for photographs on the steps while lighting incense, a small show of devotion to the pantheon of gods and goddesses: Buddha, Guan Yin, Guan Yun….and the temple itself was dedicated to a Malay aristocrat worshiped by early Chinese settlers for unknown reasons.
Dinner in Kajang; the food ordered in the rapid-fire Hokkien dialect, but our Indian friend only understood the word kangkung and nodded enthusiastically. The server laughed in a good-natured way and joked with him in coarse Malay. It did not occur to me then how limited those playful, fleeting moments were.
The next morning I was on the Intercity with its dozen or so carriages, blue-shirted conductors hopping in and out of the swinging doors, and I clambered on board into second-class. The train took me south, past the new stations being prepared for the new high-speed lines that would link Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, cutting through the hills and over rivers on British-built bridges, leaving Nilai and Seremban behind in the heat. We stopped briefly at Gemas, the great interchange station where the East and West Coast lines briefly met before skewering in opposite directions. I stretched my legs on the platform and returned on board until we were amidst the highlands of marshy Johor, hopping off at Kluang station, made famous by its café that the former Sultan frequented, the train aficionado journeying from his palace to the station for kaya toast.
I walked with a friend and his friends up the jogging slopes of the nearby mountain. We passed waterfalls and a Chinese man who draped himself in chains as he struggled uphill, buying Kluang's famous biscuits on the way back and having dinner at his palatial house. He dropped me off at the station later that night, where I awaited the arrival of the night train that would take me northwards along the Jungle Railway. It arrived in due course and I tiptoed past families to my upper-level bunk, lying on my side, watching the lights vanishing as we returned to darkness.
In the night, while I slumbered, we would pass by Gua Musang, Jerantut, Dabong, those small towns slowly being forgotten in a march to progress, soon to be reduced to mere names of stations on the way up the East Coast on a rocking locomotive soon to be traversing oil palm estates instead of the receding jungles.
At daybreak we arrived at the far northeast of the peninsula, at the fluid border town of Tumpat where borders dissipated, filled with southern Thais who had probably lived there for generations. I hopped off at Station Road, having been awake for the past hour after a conductor tugged at my sock to warn me of the impending arrival at the terminus. I passed behind the imam bedecked in white who handed out his laminated scriptures, and stood at the end of the corridors by the swinging doors, standing behind the smokers as we idly watched the countryside passing by, fields of green paddy interspersed by electric cables and other trains, framed by the vermilion-gold of the awakening sky.
In Tumpat I passed by shophouses and vast fields dotted and the magnificent Wat Pikulthong with its gilded Buddhas and the awnings with carved dragons and the Thai monks bedecked in orange, their expenses covered by the King of Thailand from his palace in far-off Bangkok. For a Ringgit I munched on sate from the roadside, while the portrait of the King gazed back at me from a calendar. Up north, it seemed that all the crime and desperation of the cities had vanished. Even the menacing snarl of a motorcycle was just that-a bike taking a man to work.
I hopped on a bus and was soon deposited in Kota Bharu, near the Pasar Siti Khadijah and the various palaces that once housed the royal family, which had since decamped to an isolated mansion surrounded by rows of Chinese shop-houses. I set up camp in a hostel with its rustic wooden walls and open window to the street, and began my trek through the town. I spoke so casually to policemen and Tourism Malaysia staff and snack-sellers under the great dome of the Pasar, all of whom greeted me with a laid-back enthusiasm.
I eventually wound up on the shores of the Beach of Passionate Love, recently renamed the Moon-Lit Beach, and sat on a fallen palm tree near the gaudy fishing boats and the feral goats, staring at the aquamarine sea which stretched into the vastness of the Pacific. And on the far end of that same ocean lay the city I would return to at the end of the summer, a different world removed from the old one by the endless waves.
After five hours on a rickety bus with broken air-conditioning, I finally I reached Georgetown on the West Coast island of Penang, getting off at the terminal after the yellow ferry had crossed the narrow strait. I found myself in the big house on Cantonment Road where my granduncle lived. In the Art-Deco mansion my great-grandmother had once paced, a Straits Chinese who frequently included Malay words like 'sabun' or 'barangkali' in her daily speech. Generations of the clan left their traces in faded photographs, surviving the Japanese Occupation in the panic rooms. Over there I toured the Old Town with its clan buildings and refurbished roads, walking down the Esplanade and buying tau sar pneah at inflated sums, singled out by the Hokkien shopkeepers who knew I was no local.
I called up friends who were usually found studying medicine in Scotland, England, and Ireland, and we visited the hilltop temple and the kopitiams. But even then we were uneasy with with each other. Even so I found myself with fond memories of the island, and just wanted to call it home. But the illusion was shattered not long later on the beach at Batu Ferringhi, as I watched a wedding photo-shoot on its gleaming sands. Sooner or later it was time to leave. Regretfully I climbed up the steps and back to the bus stop on the roadside, waiting for the return to Georgetown.
The restlessness continued after that. I went to Ipoh a few weeks before I returned to my studies. It was muggy and I had just got off the electric train at Ipoh Station, en route to Anson Bay where my grandparents lived. I met with a university friend there, where he ordered food in reasonable Cantonese and we ate chicken rice and pudding near the city's magnificent station. In my broken Cantonese I bought a bus ticket for Anson Bay. It used to be one of the most bustling towns in Perak. I supposed it still was. We departed, and it was filled with old people clutching purses and young men with dyed-orange hair, going home for the weekend from their technical college. Inside the bus everybody was speaking Hokkien.
The bus took me past the limestone hills and through coastal roads, where at times the undulating arcs of the Perak River appeared. And it finally arrived at the old town with its famous Leaning Clock-Tower and bustling shop-houses. In the past, I would be greeted by the swallows nesting on the ceilings of the five-foot ways where old offices smelling of mothballs were stuffed with one-cent coins bearing the head of George V. But for the most part I simply stayed put and chatted with my grandparents in my poor Cantonese. It struck me that I had never been able to communicate with them properly.
Before leaving, I toured the town with my aunt, who had never forgotten her adventures seeing the world as a student in Australia. She took me to the orchards across the river, where the old boatmen charged two ringgit for a one way journey, where workers collected fruits and vegetables and sent them across the river for sale. She told me that she tried to bring her nieces, born and bred British, to see the orchards, but they preferred to stay cocooned in her air-conditioned house instead.
That trip to Anson Bay confused me, lingering in my memory. It was there that my mother had grown up. Even after relocating to another part of the world, it struck me as odd that so many of Malaysians had the same heritage-the old kampongs, the shop-houses and the long bus rides through nowhere, but we were all scattering, moved to new continents and cities and lives.
My aunt lit up that morning, talking about the time when her Western friend had visited the town, and how they had convinced the guard at the foot of the Clock-Tower to let them in, past the whirring gears and the clock face, to look out over the town square. But that was a long time ago.
I made a few other journeys, but I have nothing much to say about them.

Mouse BAFF / TNFSF13B / CD257 Protein, Mouse IgG2a Fc Tag, low endotoxin
TNFSF13B,BAFF,BLYS,CD257,DTL,TALL1,THANK,TNFSF20,ZTNF4,TALL-1
Mouse BAFF, Mouse IgG2a Fc Tag, low endotoxin (BAF-M5257) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ala 127 - Leu 309 (Accession # Q9WU72-1).
Predicted N-terminus: Glu
This protein carries a mouse IgG2a Fc tag at the N-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 47.7 kDa. The protein migrates as 50 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM Tris, 100 mM Glycine, pH7.5. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Mouse BAFF, Mouse IgG2a Fc Tag, low endotoxin on SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) condition. The gel was stained overnight with Coomassie Blue. The purity of the protein is greater than 95%.
Immobilized Mouse BAFF, Mouse IgG2a Fc Tag (Cat. No. BAF-M5257) at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Mouse BCMA, Fc Tag (Cat. No. BCA-M5258) with a linear range of 2-10 ng/mL (QC tested).
Immobilized Mouse BAFF, Mouse IgG2a Fc Tag, low endotoxin (Cat. No. BAF-M5257) at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Mouse BAFFR, Fc Tag (Cat. No. BAR-M5259) with a linear range of 0.4-3 ng/mL (Routinely tested).
Immobilized Mouse BAFF, Mouse IgG2a Fc Tag, low endotoxin (Cat. No. BAF-M5257) at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human TACI/TNFRSF13B, Fc Tag (Cat. No. TAI-H5256) with a linear range of 0.8-13 ng/mL (Routinely tested).
B-cell activating factor (BAFF) is also known as tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13B , TNFSF13B, BAFF, B Lymphocyte Stimulator (BLyS) , cluster of differentiation 257 (CD257), DTL, TNF- and APOL-related leukocyte expressed ligand (TALL-1), THANK, TNFSF20, ZTNF4, and is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for receptors TNFRSF13B/TACI, TNFRSF17/BCMA, and TNFRSF13C/BAFFR. This cytokine is expressed in B cell lineage cells, and acts as a potent B cell activator. It has been also shown to play an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of B cells. It is expressed as transmembrane protein on various cell types including monocytes, dendritic cells and bone marrow stromal cells. BAFF is the natural ligand of three unusual tumor necrosis factor receptors named BAFF-R, TACI, and BCMA, all of which have differing binding affinities for it. These receptors are expressed mainly on mature B lymphocytes (TACI is also found on a subset of T-cells and BCMA on plasma cells). TACI binds worst since its affinity is higher for a protein similar to BAFF, called a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). BCMA displays an intermediate binding phenotype and will work with either BAFF or APRIL to varying degrees. Signaling through BAFF-R and BCMA stimulates B lymphocytes to undergo proliferation and to counter apoptosis. All these ligands act as heterotrimers (i.e. three of the same molecule) interacting with heterotrimeric receptors, although BAFF has been known to be active as either a hetero- or homotrimer. BAFF acts as a potent B cell activator and has been shown to play an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of B cells.

The commemoration of the martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Husayn ibn Ali, at the battle of Karbala in 680 A.D. is definitive of the Twelver Shi'a community. Thanks to a host of rituals, Husayn's memory is lived like a personal one; tears for him are believed to wash sins away. In the last few decades the Imam's memory grew into essential political capital, a precious propaganda tool. There is always a force to be cast as the enemy of Husayn, everywhere were injustice is perceived can become a new Karbala'. The talk will explore the commemoration's roots and nature, especially their fusion of textuality and performance. It will also address their political implication, meanings and usage in Lebanon, in the decades-old conflict with Israel, and in the recent civil war in Syria, in which the (Shi'i) Hezbollah has been a key player.
Samer El-Karanshawy, Carnegie Fellow at the American University, holds a Doctorate in Social Anthropology from the University of Oxford and his research focuses on Shi'ism in Lebanon.


Do you work for money or money works for you? Everyone has a lot of potential that if tapped it will create incredible riches. It is paramount to identify, refine, perfect and implement and idea. This brings a sense of purpose and subsequently spur growth be it economically or career-wise.


"Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife" (Proverbs 30:33).
The general idea here is that some things come naturally. If you wring someone's nose, of course it is going to bleed. If you churn milk, of course it will produce butter. And if you keep forcing wrath or anger, do you think it will do anything but bring strife? If you give way to wrath yourself, or continually behave in a way that tempts someone to anger, you are generating strife.
Note: You never MAKE anyone angry, nor does anyone MAKE you angry. That's a silly lie the world uses to excuse sinful anger. People choose to respond in anger, or not to respond in anger. No one has enough control over you to make you be angry.
But people certainly do tempt others, even strongly tempt others, to sin in anger, and that generates strife.
There is another application of this verse that has been on my heart in recent months. Sometimes, even if you are doing nothing wrong, you may be "forcing wrath," in a way. Sometimes you have to recognise that a person is set on wrath, and any attempt to reduce it is instead going to incite more. It may be that even the best-intentioned action will simply stir up more wrath.
This verse follows some instructions on how and when to rebuke a brother. The implication is that, if you know a person won't receive it, don't do something that is just going to lead to conflict and a rejection of your true rebuke.
Sometimes, the only thing that makes peace possible is to keep your mouth shut and walk away, even if what you would say is 100% true and the person really needs to hear it. If you can't talk to someone, you can't talk to them.
It doesn't matter how much they need it if you know they aren't going to hear it. How can you know that? Well, you certainly don't always know it. But that doesn't stop us from using our best judgment in the matter. This is an evaluation the Lord Jesus told us to make, and one that fits well with this Proverb.

Children all over the world have grown up with Disney Princesses as their role models for decades now. And for young girls especially, the independence and inherent strength of characters like Ariel, Belle, and Jasmine, serve as a catalyst for their own ambitions.
It's that very strength and independence that photographer Kate T. Parker, creator of the photo series "Strong is the New Pretty," hopes to showcase in every image she takes. Parker tells me that what's most important in her work is "showing girls and women what is possible" — and that's never been more apparent than in her latest project.
Parker recently teamed with Disney for the #DreamBigPrincess global photo campaign to encourage kids everywhere to embrace the traits of the Disney Princesses who have long inspired them. Parker, along with 18 other female photographers from 15 countries around the world, have photographed real-life girls and women to celebrate both their diversity and their strength. In collaboration with the United Nations Foundation's Girl Up program — of which I serve as a teen advisor and co-director of the New York Coalition — Disney is working to empower girls all around the world. Parker's photos for #DreamBigPrincess serve as a testament to the strength of real girls everywhere, through the lens of Disney Princesses.
Parker's photos focus on three distinct and unique subjects: Her daughter, Alice Parker (pictured below), The Blasters (her daughter's soccer team, which Parker coaches), and Grace Bunke, a 14-year-old cancer survivor and aspiring Paralympic runner. The stories of the girls are magnified by how they present themselves in front of Parker's camera.
It can be all too easy to slip into stereotypes when talking about the interests of young girls, but Parker's photos aim to transcend common binaries in order to portray what young girls are really like. Parker believes that girls can be both "tom-boys [and] girly-girls," and her images certainly show a mixture of both sides — while leaving each girl room to define what that means to them.
The other girls on Alice's soccer team represent this idea as well, as they run and play in their dresses. Parker says that what stands out to her is the confidence and sense of self in each girl and how fearless they are on the field. "They really just want to win," she says, which she believes is something girls should try to remember as they grow up, and not let that confidence fade away with time.
Parker also photographed Grace Bunke, an amazing athlete who was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer at age 11 that resulted in a foot amputation. In order to continue pursuing her dream of becoming a professional runner, she had her foot reattached in reverse on her knee joint. In her photos, Parker captures Grace running, her arms outstretched to the sky, as if in celebration of her ability to enjoy her favorite sport.
Parker believes that the #DreamBigPrincess photo campaign is important because "sometimes society is geared towards minimizing girls and not letting them have a voice." In her photos, the viewer can witness the sheer power of young girls when they are just being who they want to be.
Parker wants to do "anything [she] can to maximize that voice in girls." As girls grow up, often their belief in their own innate awesomeness gets "chipped away" with time, but with organizations such as Girl Up and inspirations like the Disney Princesses, girls are able to see that they can be valued for who they are — and their voices do matter.
Parker says that as a child, she was "rough and loud and too much." Over time, she was taught that she had to apologize for being herself. If she had access to campaigns such as #DreamBigPrincess, she feels she could have learned that "it was more than okay" to be who she was.
Girls should be unafraid to be loud and passionate, just as the girls in Parker's photographs are. Because when young girls grow up with strong, inspirational female images — like those in Parker's photos, and the examples set by Disney Princesses — they can become independent thinkers who are destined for greatness.
From August 15-October 11, 2017, like a public image with #DreamBigPrincess or post your own photo publicly using #DreamBigPrincess on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, and Disney Worldwide Services will donate US$1 to Girl Up for each action, for a minimum donation of US$500,000 and a maximum of US$1 Million. Proceeds will go towards Girl Up's many programs supporting adolescent girls' leadership and empowerment.

Trees can often be considered granted but extreme weather condition can take its toll. It is very important to keep trees healthy and try to prevent diseases or weather condition damage.
When you understand more about your trees, follow these 5 pointers to keep your trees durable and healthy.
Concentrate on the zone around a tree approximately where the branches extend. Roots can extend beyond this zone but this is the area where roots are more delicate. The secret is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep absorbing water and oxygen.
Think of the bark as an armour that protects the tree. Securing the tree bark will prevent infections, diseases or insect activity. Look out for possible threats that could damage tree bark, including:.
Sprinkler system: a spray of water that repetitively strikes bark at the same location can trigger damage. If you utilize sprinklers to water your yard, ensure these don't straight strike trees.
Yard devices: wear; t get yard devices near to the tree trunks as this can cause serious damage to the bark.
Trees usually prosper well in existing moisture conditions and do not require any extra watering. Nevertheless, depending upon your regional environment, you may need to water your trees during extended periods of drought. If you do have to water trees in the summer, a periodic deep watering is preferred to a frequent misting. In winter trees shouldn't require any watering.
We've previously blogged about pruning trees as it's an essential part of tree maintenance. It's something you can do yourself if you understand what you are doing, otherwise you can constantly hire a professional. The main things to keep an eye out for are:.
Plant grass or some kind of ground cover. Dead plant material will decay in the ground and improve the soil. Make sure your plants can thrive in the shade and that their roots do not compete with the tree.
As gardening experts, Goodfellers Gardeners can ensure that you and your garden are always treated to the highest standard of gardening services in Clonfert, Galway.

Un attacco suicida consiste nell'uccisione di uno o più bersagli tramite la prevista morte dell'attentatore. Normalmente questa tecnica viene utilizzata nel terrorismo e in ambito militare (come ad esempio i kamikaze giapponesi nella seconda guerra mondiale).

Tra le tecniche più diffuse si trovano il dirottamento di vari veicoli (tra cui automobili, autocarri e aerei) e la cintura esplosiva.

L'attacco suicida non va confuso con il cosiddetto "sacrificio altruistico" (da una definizione di Émile Durkheim), che invece consiste nel suicidio di un individuo per evitare ad esempio di essere catturato o pur di portare a termine una determinata azione, venendo meno perciò la prevedibilità della morte, caratteristica degli attacchi suicidi. Un esempio fu la morte del militare sabaudo Pietro Micca che preferì farsi coinvolgere dall'esplosione della mina che stava collocando in difesa di Torino (assediata dai francesi) pur di non vanificare la sua azione.

Storia

Kamikaze

I kamikaze erano dei piloti giapponesi alla guida di aerei carichi di materiale esplosivo che avevano l'ordine di schiantarsi contro le imbarcazioni alleate durante la seconda guerra mondiale.

Con il tempo il termine nipponico ha assunto un significato più generale, indicando un qualsiasi attacco suicida.

Eventi moderni
Il numero degli attacchi suicidi, rispetto agli anni 1980, è cresciuto in modo considerevole tra il 2000 e il 2005, e dagli 81 attacchi suicidi del 2001 si è giunti al numero di 460 nel 2005. Questi attacchi sono stati diverse volte rivolti verso obiettivi civili e militari, tra cui Sri Lanka, bersagli israeliani in Israele a partire dal 6 luglio 1989, Un significativo numero di attacchi suicidi è stato registrato in Iraq dal 2003 (da quando cioè alla guida del paese vi sono gli Stati Uniti), come pure, a partire dal 2001, in Pakistan e in Afghanistan, con una decisa impennata a partire dal 2005.

L'obiettivo degli attentato "suicida" cambia a seconda dei Paesi. Per esempio, in alcuni rapporti stilati in Bangladesh, le truppe o la polizia sembrano essere l'unico bersaglio dei kamikaze..

Questo problema di definizione non è invece un problema in luoghi come Israele, Striscia di Gaza e Cisgiordania, dove l'attentato suicida è una strategia apertamente adottata contro gli israeliani da Hamas, dal Movimento per il Jihad Islamico in Palestina e dalle Brigate dei Martiri di al-Aqsa, cui Israele ha preso a rispondere con i suoi "omicidi mirati".

Tra l'ottobre 2000 e l'ottobre 2006, sono stati chiaramente identificati 167 attacchi suicidi, con 51 altri tipi di attacchi kamikaze. Fu suggerito che vi erano numerosi volontari per il martirio (Istishādiyya) nella Seconda Intifada da perpetrare in Israele e nei territori occupati e in un'intervista, al-Fath affermò di essere "subissata" da un simile tipo di richieste.

Profilo degli attentatori
Gli studi hanno condotto a risultati contrastanti; Robert Pape, direttore del progetto "The Chicago Project on suicide terrorism", e gli esperti sugli attentatori suicidi, ipotizzarono che la maggior parte degli attentatori suicidi provenisse da classi medie istruite, mentre uno studio del 2007, in Afghanistan, . Uno studio su quanto rimaneva dei cadaveri di 110 attentatori suicidi, effettuato agli inizi del 2007, dal patologo afgano Dr. Yusef Yadgari, rivelò che all'80% mancava gli arti, soffriva di cancro, di lebbra o di altri disturbi. Inoltre, in contrasto con i primi studi effettuati, i terroristi afgani non furono "esaltati come altri attentatori suicidi in altri paesi. Difatti essi non vengono ritratti su poster o video."

Lo psichiatra forense Marc Sageman constatò, anch'egli su basi scientifiche tutte da verificare, una mancanza di comportamento antisociale, malattie mentali, traumi sociali precedenti o disturbi comportamentali come: rabbia, paranoia e narcisismo sui 400 membri della rete terroristica di al-Qa'ida che sarebbero stati "studiati".

(Bloomberg) -- New Jersey's State Investment Council called Jeff Bezos's allegations against the National Enquirer seriously troubling and said it's evaluating its options for the state pension fund's investment in Chatham Asset Management, the hedge fund that owns most of the newspaper's parent company.
Liebtag said the investment council has communicated its concerns to Chatham, which owns a majority stake in AMI. "While the investment has performed well to date, that is no excuse for this type of behavior. We continue to explore all available options," he said.
The State Investment Council sets policies -- such as asset allocation -- for the $77.3 billion New Jersey Pension Fund. The council advises the Division of Investment, a unit of the State Department of Treasury, which makes the pension fund investments. The division is also seeking to ensure Chatham is investing in businesses that "follow all applicable laws," Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
The state pension fund's investment in Chatham has become the subject of renewed scrutiny after after a bombshell blog post published by Bezos, who accused the Enquirer of trying to blackmail him with photos of him with a woman who wasn't his wife. The tech billionaire also suggested that American Media might have been acting on behalf of President Donald Trump and questioned whether it was motivated by coverage of Saudi Arabia in Bezos' Washington Post newspaper.
Elkan Abramowitz, an attorney for AMI Chairman David Pecker, has denied that there was any blackmail, extortion or political motivation involved in the fight between the tabloid and Bezos. Chatham, meanwhile, has said that it has no involvement in the editorial process or the day-to-day business decisions of the company.
The board of AMI said last week it will investigate Bezos' claims that the company tried to blackmail him. Two of AMI's four directors are Chatham executives.

Hypothyroidism: Boost Your Wellness
4 Things to Do Before Trying Complementary Therapies for Hypothyroidism
Complementary therapies may help ease symptoms related to hypothyroidism. But there are certain things you need to consider before trying one.
By Lisa Haney
Medically Reviewed by Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD
12 Healthy Recipes for Hypothyroidism
Watch: 'I Don't Let Hypothyroidism Stop Me'
People with hypothyroidism don't produce enough thyroid hormone naturally and need to take a prescription thyroid medication to keep their bodies running normally. But a fraction of patients have persistent symptoms — even after their thyroid hormone levels normalize with medication — and may seek complementary treatments to improve them, says Antonio Bianco, MD, PhD, vice dean for clinical affairs at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and a former president of the American Thyroid Association.
Complementary therapies are non-mainstream practices that are used together with conventional Western medicine, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). Examples of complementary therapies include mind-body practices (such as yoga, meditation, tai chi, massage, and chiropractic care), whole medical systems (for example, naturopathy, homeopathy, and Chinese medicine) and — particularly for hypothyroidism — biologically-based practices (including vitamins, herbs, and special diets).
If you're considering trying complementary approaches for hypothyroidism, follow these steps first:
Do your research. Find reliable information on the complementary therapy you're considering through the American Thyroid Association (ATA). The NCCIH is another good place to look. Its website has a list of complementary therapies, along with information on what the science says about each, as well as links to other credible sources. It also has tips for finding and evaluating online sources about complementary therapies. Remember that when it comes to complementary therapies, it's best to learn what scientific studies have to say about the particular therapy you're considering. You can find the results of many of these studies online or at your library.
Talk to your doctor. "Your doctor needs to be aware of what you're doing," says Joseph Feuerstein, MD, director of integrative medicine at Stamford Hospital in Connecticut and an assistant professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University in New York City. It's especially important to talk to your doctor about any vitamins, supplements, or herbs you're taking because they may affect which medications your doctor prescribes, Dr. Feuerstein adds. Avoid taking "thyroid nutritional supplements," which are sold over the counter and many times contain thyroid extracts or thyroid hormones, since they will interfere with the diagnosis and treatment of most thyroid diseases, Dr. Bianco notes.
Also ask your doctor about any special diets before trying them. You may have heard that people with hypothyroidism need to avoid gluten and dairy — but that's simply not proven, says Mark Lupo, MD, the founder and medical director of the Thyroid & Endocrine Center of Florida in Sarasota and a board member of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. "However, people with autoimmune thyroid disease are at increased risk for true celiac disease and should be screened appropriately," he adds.
Find a reputable practitioner. Check with your doctor, a nearby hospital or medical school, or even your insurance carrier for recommendations, suggests the NCCIH. You may want to consider seeing an integrative physician — a doctor who combines standard medicine with complementary therapies. Feuerstein recommends finding one in your area through The University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine (where he did his fellowship), which has a nationwide search tool. According to the NCCIH, you should find out everything you can about the practitioner you're considering, including their education, training, licensing, and certifications, and whether they're willing to work together with your regular doctor.
Be skeptical. There are certain red flags to look for when researching complementary therapies. Beware of any treatment that relies only on client testimonials, rather than scientific evidence, or promises to cure hypothyroidism. While some vitamins or diets may be helpful, none have been proven to eliminate thyroid disease, according to the ATA. Feuerstein cautions against any treatment that seems too good to be true. "I'm not aware of any absolute cure for hypothyroidism — I have not seen that in my clinical experience," he says.
Remember that complementary therapies are meant to work along with your prescribed hypothyroidism medication. Never stop taking your medication or change your dose without talking to your doctor first.
